City Council Decision
City Council on January 10 and 13, 2014, adopted the following:
1. Given that, in 2013, in excess of $171 million in storm related costs have been incurred by the City of Toronto, City Council request the Provincial and Federal governments to provide financial assistance to the City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro for 2013 storm events with a minimum of $114 million in funding representing one third each from the Provincial and Federal governments and the City of Toronto.
2. Since the City of Toronto recently experienced a severe winter storm event weather event on December 21 and 22, 2013 and has experienced substantial damage to municipal forestry infrastructure and related costs of approximately $106 million and has received reported losses of private damage, City Council request that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing declare the City of Toronto a "disaster area" for the purposes of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program.
3. City Council request the Provincial and Federal governments, to establish new programs and expand existing programs addressing disaster mitigation involving urban forestry, erosion control, winter storms, tree canopy, and other severe storm events, that reflect the reality of climate change and such programs to include funding for rehabilitation of municipal infrastructure to mitigate future environmental and storm event impacts.
4. City Council request the City Manager in consultation with the Deputy City Managers, and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, to report to the January 22, 2014 meeting of Executive Committee on the financial impacts of the storm event on the 2014 Operating and Capital Budgets, and to provide options to finance the City's share of storm related costs.
5. City Council request the City Manager to report to Executive Committee no later than the second quarter of 2014 on the City's review of the emergency response to the ice storm, including recommended improvements to the management of future emergencies including the actions to enhance the resiliency of the interdependent infrastructure and services to extreme weather,
