Recommendations
Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, recommends that:
1.

Motions (City Council)
Speaker Nunziata advised Council that the provisions of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, require that Motion MM43.40 be referred to the Toronto and East York Community Council. A two-thirds vote of the Council Members present is required to waive referral.
That City Council amend the recommendation by adding to the end the words "and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council no later than the second quarter of 2027 on the prioritization, timeline, and resource requirements", so that it now reads as follows:
1.
