This report deals with tax appeal applications made to the Treasurer pursuant to Sections 323, 324, and 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006.  Section 323 permits Council to cancel, reduce or refund taxes in cases when, during the year, a property undergoes changes such as when it is destroyed by fire or demolished, becomes exempt from taxation, or is reclassified due to a change in use.  Section 324 permits Council to cancel, reduce or refund all or part of a payment in lieu of taxes for properties that are exempt from taxation in the circumstances described in subsection 323 (1) with necessary modifications.  Under Section 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, taxpayers can request a cancellation, reduction, or refund of taxes when an error in the assessment roll is identified which results in an overcharge.

The legislation requires Council to make its decision after holding a public meeting at which the applicants and / or property owners may express any concerns.  Council has delegated authority to hear and make final decisions in respect of these matters to the General Government Committee.

Staff have mailed Notices of Hearing to affected taxpayers or property owners advising of the General Government Committee's upcoming meeting and consideration of this staff report.

The amendment is required to address the underestimation of contract values for the provision of collection agency services to support the collection of defaulted fines under the Provincial Offences Act up to March 31, 2025, the first period of the contract. The increase in total contract target value is required to process anticipated invoices for collection agency services through the end of the contract.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $609,608 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($620,337 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $2,378,949 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,420,819 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $2,988,557 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($3,041,156 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

This was required to ensure these services continued while a new competitive solicitation was developed and issued, and until a contract through this competitive process was in place. The new solicitation was issued in mid-December 2023 and has taken longer than anticipated to close and evaluate bids received. The new contract is expected to be awarded and in place on or before July 2024. Therefore, there is a need to amend the current bridge contract to ensure continuity of this critical service.

The total value of the amendment being requested is $1,500,000 net of all taxes and charges ($1,526,400 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the total value of the bridge contract to $2,500,000 net of all taxes and charges ($2,544,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The revised plan included executing all of the projects originally slated for 2022, alongside the first half of the 2023 program within the year 2023 and 2024. This current award facilitates the completion of the remaining segment of the 2023 program plan this year.

The General Government Committee recommend that: 

1. City Council, in accordance with Section 195-8.5.B of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195 (Purchasing By-Law), grant authority to award Request for Proposal Ariba Document Number Doc3580308056 for the supply and delivery of Station Wear (Trousers and Shirts) in the amount of  including the option years is $14,410,095 net of all taxes and charges ($14,663,713 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries) being the highest scoring Supplier meeting all specifications as set out in the Request for Proposal, for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew the Contract for an additional term of up to six (6) additional one (1) year periods, at the sole discretion of the City and subject to budget approval(s).

The purpose of this report is to advise on the results of the Request for Proposal

Doc3580308056 for the supply and delivery of Station Wear (Trousers and Shirts) for the City of Toronto's Fire Services Division and to request authority to enter into a contract with Safedesign Apparel Ltd., being the highest scoring Supplier meeting all specifications as set out in the Request for Proposal. The proposed contract is, for a period of one (1) year with the option to renew the Contract for six (6) additional separate one (1) year periods at the sole discretion of the City and subject to budget approval(s). Should the optional year(s) be exercised, the Fire Chief and General Manager will request the Chief Procurement Officer to process the renewals under the same terms and conditions. The total potential duration of this contract is seven (7) years. The total potential contract award including the option years is $14,410,095 net of all taxes and charges and $16,283,408, including all taxes and charges. The total potential cost to the City, including the option years is $14,663,713 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries.

Since the proposed contract term, inclusive of any extension of the contract term as exercised by the City, exceeds five (5) years, City Council authority to award the contract is required.

The General Government Committee recommend that:

1. City Council authorize the Chief Technology Officer to negotiate and execute a non-competitive contract with Esri Canada Limited to purchase proprietary Geographic Information System software licences, cloud subscriptions and related maintenance, commencing from the date of award for a one (1) year period, for the total amount of $1,052,851 net of all taxes and applicable charges ($1,071,381 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority negotiate and enter a non-competitive contract with Esri Canada Limited for the provision of proprietary Geographic Information System software licences, cloud subscription and related maintenance. The Contract will commence from the date of award for a one (1) year period, for the total amount of $1,052,851 net of all taxes and applicable charges ($1,071,381 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries). Obtaining additional Esri licences for existing products through this report will support anticipated divisional growth on current Geographic Information System capabilities and provide continued support for key initiatives such as affordable housing and sustainable urban development.

Geographic Information System is a critical technology domain to enable spatial analysis and data-driven decision-making. It plays a pivotal role in City operations (e.g. supporting 911 dispatch, aiding urban planning initiatives and serving as a decision support tool for transit related activities, utility management and affordable housing). Geographic Information System is integrated extensively across several City-wide systems such as Elections to coordinate and assign Toronto voters to over 1,800 voting stations across ward boundaries. Toronto also relies on Geographic Information System for infrastructure management: Toronto Water tracks and coordinates nearly $6 billion in linear capital works as part of its 10-Year Capital Plan and maintains an asset inventory of over 2.2 million records through Geographic Information System solutions.

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195- Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment for each supplier, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71- Financial Control, Section 71-11A.

The General Government Committee recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to continue negotiations to acquire the property interests as illustrated on the project map attached as Appendix A to the report (March 12, 2024) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, as set out in Appendix B (the “Property Requirements”)  to the report (March 12, 2024) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and as illustrated in the easement drawings attached as Appendix C to the report (March 12, 2024) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and City Council authorize the initiation of expropriation proceedings for the Property Requirements for the purposes of permanent easements for a sanitary trunk sewer and one shaft, and a temporary easement for construction staging, if the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, deems it necessary or appropriate to proceed in that manner.

2. City Council grant authority to serve and publish the Notices of Application for Approval to Expropriate Land for the Property Requirements, to forward to the Ontario Land Tribunal any requests for hearings that are received, to attend the hearing(s) to present the City's position, and to report the Ontario Land Tribunal's recommendations to City Council for its consideration.

This report seeks authority to initiate expropriation proceedings for permanent easements in part of the properties municipally known as 37 Downsview Avenue, 200 Chalkfarm Drive, 1570 Wilson Avenue, 2090 Jane Street, 2208 Jane Street, 2210 Jane Street and 75 Hyde Avenue, and a temporary easement in part of the property municipally known as 2090 Jane Street for the purposes of facilitating Phase One of Toronto Water's Black Creek Sanitary Trunk Sewer Relief System project.

This is Stage 1 of the expropriation process. Should City Council adopt the recommendations in this report, staff will serve and publish the Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate Land on each registered owner. Owners, as defined in the Expropriations Act (the "Act"), will have 30 days to request a hearing into whether the City's proposed taking is fair, sound and reasonably necessary.

Staff will report back to City Council with a Stage 2 report, providing details on property values and other costs, and if a hearing is requested, the report of the Ontario Land Tribunal. The proposed expropriations would only be effected after adoption by City Council, as approving authority, of the Stage 2 report, by registration of an expropriation plan(s), which would then be followed by the service of notices as required by the Act. Before the City could take possession of the expropriated properties, offers of compensation based on appraisal reports must be served on each registered owner.

The General Government Committee recommends that: 

1. City Council, as the approving authority under the Expropriations Act (the “Act’), approve the expropriation of the property interests as set out in Appendix A (the “Property Interests”) and as identified on the draft reference plans attached as Appendix C to the report (March 12, 2024) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management.

2. City Council authorize the City, as the expropriating authority under the Act, to take all necessary steps to comply with the Act, including but not limited to the preparation and registration of Expropriation Plans, and the service of Notices of Expropriation, Notices of Election and Notices of Possession, as may be required.

3. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management to prepare, execute and serve offers of compensation based on reports appraising the market value of the Property Interests in accordance with the requirements of the Act. 

4. City Council authorize the public release of the confidential information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (March 12, 2024) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, once there has been a final determination of the compensation payable to the property owners by arbitration, appeal, or settlement to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. 

On July 14, 2021 and April 14, 2018, City Council authorized the initiation of expropriation proceedings for properties required for the purpose of constructing Transportation Services’ St. Clair Avenue West Transportation Master Plan, which aims to improve multi-modal transportation network in the area.

This report relates to the second stage of the expropriation process. During the first stage and in accordance with the Expropriations Act, Notices of Application for Approval to Expropriate were served on all applicable "registered owners" who had 30 days to request an inquiry into whether the proposed taking is fair, sound, and reasonably necessary. No requests were received within the 30-day period and City Council may now approve the expropriation by this Stage 2 report. If authorized, an Expropriation Plan will be registered, and associated notices served. Statutory Offers of Compensation must be served prior to the City taking possession of the expropriated properties.

The property requirements are set out in Appendix A and shown on the draft reference plans attached as Appendix C.

The General Government Committee recommends that: 

1. City Council authorize the permanent closure of the unused public road known as Eglinton Avenue West, shown as Part 1 on Plan 66R-31588 and Property Plate, attached as Attachments 1 and 2 to the report (March 12, 2024) from the General Manager, Transportation Services

2. City Council enact a by-law substantially in the form of the draft by-law attached as Attachment 3 to the report (March 12, 2024) from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

This report proposes to permanently close an unused portion of a public highway located in the northwest quadrant of Croham Road and Eglinton Avenue West to support new infrastructure for the new Caledonia GO station on the Barrie rail corridor. City Council approval of this report is required to stop-up and close this unused portion of the Eglinton Avenue West right-of-way.

Transportation Services recommends the permanent closure of the land legally described as Part 1 on Plan 66R-31588. This closure would allow this land to be nominally transferred to Metrolinx to become part of the Caledonia GO station, through the delegated authority of the Deputy General Manager, Internal Corporate Services and the Director, Real Estate Services.
