This report outlines the findings and recommendations from a review of the Bid Award Panel and its role in the City's procurement process. In 2023, Purchasing and Materials Management Division completed a review of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195 (Procurement By-law), per the review requirements set out in the Procurement By-law. The review was scoped into two phases. City Council adopted Phase 1 recommendations in December 2023, which took effect on July 1, 2024. The report to Council identified key phase 2 review items, one of which was a review of the role of the Bid Award Panel to determine if it effectively serves its intended purpose, which is to enhance oversight of the procurement process. This review aligns with Council direction to consider the role of Bid Award Panel relative to capital program delivery, in particular regarding the feasibility of streamlining the bid award process to under 30 days. The City’s procurement activities are governed by three key By-laws that set out the authorities required for procurement to proceed: commitment authority, award authority, and signing authority. - Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71 (the Financial Control By-law) out…

Majority required - GG20.10 - Fletcher - motion 1
Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support the diversion routes associated with the closure of King Street East and Church Street intersection for watermain and streetcar track maintenance from May 2025 to August 2025. The 503 Kingston Road, 504 King, and 508 Lakeshore will be diverted due to the closure. The diversion will result in 25 streetcars in the peak hour, up from seven streetcars in existing conditions, using Queen Street east of Spadina Avenue to Broadview Avenue and the existing diversion associated with the Ontario Line construction. The Queen Street diversion uses tracks on Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, between York Street and Church Street to by-pass the closure of Queen Street from Bay Street to Victoria Street. Therefore, the existing 501 Queen service will also be impacted by the diversion due to the increased number of streetcars using this route. The proposed temporary transit priority measures aim to mitigate the impact on the 102,900 daily customers primarily on streetcars that travel along the diversion route. The measures in this report are…

Majority required - TE20.40 - Fletcher - motion 1b
In accordance with legislative requirements, City Council must annually adopt the following by-laws associated with property taxes: - the municipal levy; - the education levy; and - the clawback rates. These by-laws are required to enable the City to issue the final property tax bills for the year, for both municipal and school purposes. Following City Council's adoption of the 2025 municipal property tax rates at its meeting on February 11, 2025, this report sets the education levy and the claw-back rates. This report recommends adoption of the 2025 education tax rates and education property tax levy for school purposes, as required by legislation. The City of Toronto levies and collects education taxes on behalf of the Province of Ontario, based on the education tax rates set out in Ontario Regulation 400/98, as amended. The education property tax rates prescribed by the Province for 2025 remain unchanged from the previous year for all classes. Accordingly, the average household will see no increase in their education tax this year. In addition, this report addresses the requirements associated with the clawback rate for properties in the commercial, industrial, and multi-reside…

Every year, the City of Toronto follows Provincial legislation that requires raising development charges. This year, they are set to rise by 4 percent on May 1. The City has previously requested that the Province of Ontario amend the Development Charges Act and allow the City more flexibility when it comes to this annual indexing. This motion reiterates that request, and brings forward a workaround so we can freeze development charges. Canadian municipalities face challenges delivering the infrastructure people expect. Cities are responsible for an estimated 60 percent of public infrastructure yet receive only 9 percent of total revenue generated from all combined federal, provincial and municipal taxes and charges. Cities like Toronto apply development charges to cover a portion of the cost of infrastructure that enables housing development and creates communities people want to live in. Toronto’s $59 billion 10-Year Capital Plan includes $6.5 billion from development charges to support our growing city. This includes: $1.2 billion in funding for water, wastewater and sewer infrastructure; approximately $950 million towards road and intersection upgrades to enable developme…

In Fall 2024, City Council advanced the new Purpose-Built Rental Housing Incentives program, an important new initiative to unlock new rental supply and affordable rental housing. This program provides eligible projects with relief on property taxes and development charges to bring down the cost of building, and help new rental and affordable units break ground at a time when many are stalled due to economic conditions. There has been an overwhelmingly strong response to this program, far exceeding expectations and demonstrating the housing sector’s readiness to build. The City received a total of 75 applications in 21 wards across the city, representing over 32,600 purpose-built rental homes and over 7,400 affordable rental homes that are ready to break ground by the end of next year. In December 2024, City Council approved incentives for 17 applications in 12 wards across the city, representing 7,156 net new rental homes and 1,047 net new affordable rental homes, to be funded by the City. With provincial and federal government support, the City can move forward to unlock additional shovel-ready projects. In March 2025, the federal government indicated it has earmarked up t…

On June 26, 2024, City Council requested through item MM19.6 that the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the General Manager, Transportation, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture review opportunities to name or rename an existing or planned location, such as a park, street, trail or other landmark in honour of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson. Parks and Recreation worked with Strategic Partnerships and consulted with the local Councillor to identify a parcel of land within Lawrence Park Ravine as an appropriate location to commemorate the life, long-standing public service, activism and lasting impact of the late Councillor Jaye Robinson.
