The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) considered Item PA15.6, Toronto Parking Authority - Status Update of Security Services Assessment, at its October 24, 2018 meeting. The Item set out the preliminary results of an assessment of the TPA's security strategies, plans, and deployment conducted by the City of Toronto's Director of Corporate Security. The Board adopted a comprehensive framework comprising a range of recommendations and initial actions to further the goals of augmenting, enhancing, and updating the TPA's security program. Among other things, the Board directed that steps be initiated leading to the City's Corporate Security Division assuming direct management of the TPA's security program. TPA staff have worked in close collaboration with the City's Corporate Security Division to develop the key parameters of a Service Level Agreement, which are set out in this report and will achieve the Board's direction.

This report also presents a Security Policy and Plan for the Toronto Parking Authority, in conformance with City Council's previous direction that various City Boards and Agencies report to their respective Boards regarding their security plan, consistent with the security framework adopted by City Council. Finally, the matter of a billing dispute with a previous service provider which was detailed to the Board at its above-noted meeting has been closed and no further payments were or will be made.
