Origin
Summary
The City appoints 1,436 residents of Toronto to 119 City agencies (including 71 Business Improvement Areas (BIAs)), corporations; partnered boards; advisory committees that fall under the Public Appointments Policy; and 6 external boards. Of those, 428 public members are nominated through a City-run process and 1,008 are nominated by external bodies through other processes, primarily by membership organizations such as exists for BIAs (772 board members) and Association of Community Centres (AOCC) boards (104 public board members).
The existing Public Appointments Policy is a comprehensive document outlining Council's principles and objectives as well as the processes to be followed in recruiting and selecting public appointees. It includes an appendix that details the composition of each individual board, the process for recruitment and is a useful reference for Councillors, staff, and residents interested in serving the City as a board member.
For the past 3 terms, Council has approved amendments to the Policy to accommodate changes in board composition, improve the clarity of the Policy, and refine the process to ensure that Council's objectives are met in selecting highly qualified board members to manage City business delegated to agency boards.
During the last term of Council, staff were directed to recommend changes to the composition or the selection process of a number of boards, some changes have been triggered by changing circumstances such as the dissolution of the Toronto Zoo Foundation, and new agencies were established that needed to be included in the Policy. This report recommends amendments to the Policy to satisfy these changes, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the process, and to go the next steps in implementing the principles on which the Policy is based.
