Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
Speaker Nunziata advised Council that the provisions of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, require that Motion MM12.6 be referred to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee. A two-thirds vote of the Council Members present is required to waive referral.
That City Council amend Recommendation 1 by adding the words "and consult with the Toronto Island Advisory Committee" after the words "Toronto and Region Conservation Authority" so that the recommendation now reads as follows:
1. City Council direct the City Manager to work with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and consult with the Toronto Island Advisory Committee, to develop a terms of reference for a Lake Ontario Resilience Group, including what issues it could respond to and who could be invited to participate, and City Council direct the City Manager to report to the March 11, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to clarify how Lake-related issues are identified, responded to, and funded for overall jurisdictional clarity.
