Summary

It may be useful to allow Board member participation in meetings via teleconference or videoconference from time to time. This is fairly standard for Boards of operating business corporations and is a topic that is relevant to the review of Toronto Parking Authority procedures with the recent creation of the new Board of Directors. It is also a useful tool to encourage full participation by Board members even when Board meeting dates change or are called on short notice. With the concurrence of the Board Chair to add this item for Board consideration, there is a motion as noted below.
