This report requests that Scarborough Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 513 Huntingwood Drive. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is because the tree is in poor condition and there is a concern about potential failure. The Colorado blue spruce tree (Picea pungens) measures 60 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.

The purpose of this report is to recommend the additional approvals required to give effect to the 2025 Budget and includes the following matters: 2025 Property Tax Rates and Related Matters: City Council must enact a by-law to levy property tax rates that generate the tax revenue set out in the City’s budget. This report recommends the 2025 municipal tax rates, reflected in the 2025 Mayor's Proposed Budget. For 2025, an average budgetary tax rate increase of 4.37 percent is proposed, as detailed in Table 1. This includes a 5.40 percent increase for residential and industrial properties and a 2.70 percent increase for multi-residential and commercial properties. Additionally, this report recommends an incremental tax rate increase for the City Building Fund Levy to support critical capital investments in transit and housing. This includes a 1.50 percent increase for residential and industrial properties, and a 0.75 percent increase for multi-residential and commercial properties.

Section 226.14 (2) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 provides that the Mayor shall, in accordance with the regulations, prepare a proposed budget for the City and provide the proposed budget to City Council for City Council’s consideration. This report fulfills this requirement. In the 2024 Budget we faced a $1.8 billion budget shortfall. That’s why, after a decade of neglect, we brought in a bold budget and a New Deal with the provincial government that worked to get our city back on track. We made significant progress over the last year with improved City services, faster emergency response times, and more shovels in the ground building affordable housing. And, for the first time in decades, we improved the City’s credit rating to AA+ – saving Torontonians money on borrowing costs related to transit, housing, and more. Of course, our challenges are too great to solve in one year, but the hard choices made in 2024 are paying off for Toronto as seen in this year’s budget. The 2025 Budget began with a $1.2 billion budget shortfall. That’s a $600 million improvement from 2024. But closing this shortfall remains a challenge. To balance the 2025 Budg…

As municipal populations grow and demand for services increases, the need for sustainable fiscal frameworks becomes more urgent. The City of Toronto, like many others, faces a structural deficit, a growing state of good repair backlog, and the financial burden of assuming responsibilities that should fall to higher levels of government. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has long championed the need for municipalities to have the financial tools to meet these challenges. In May 2023, Federation of Canadian Municipalities passed a resolution calling for a new Municipal Growth Framework that aligns local government revenues with economic and population growth. This would ensure municipalities have the resources to address national issues like affordable housing, climate change, and infrastructure. Similarly, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario is advocating for less reliance on property taxes to fund provincial responsibilities and more investment in local infrastructure and housing. By aligning with the advocacy efforts of Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Toronto can strengthen its voice and empower our residents to…

The City of Toronto has taken an increased role in the creation of new supportive and rent-geared-to-income (RGI) homes for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, particularly since the adoption of the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (HousingTO Plan) and as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite increased action and investments, Toronto’s housing and homelessness crises have worsened. Deeply affordable rental housing is at risk of being lost, and difficult and volatile economic conditions have made the construction of new housing, particularly RGI, supportive, affordable rental homes, more challenging. The shortage of supportive homes, inadequacy of social assistance rates, and need for greater mental health and social supports is illustrated most starkly by the rising number of encampments in Toronto. Concerted action and investment from all orders of government and the private, health, and social services sectors is needed to respond to these crises. Despite this growing need, federal and provincial investment in measures proven to be most effective – new supportive housing, mental health and social supports, and higher social assistance rates that mat…

City Council on December 17 and 18, 2024, referred Motion MM24.15 to the Executive Committee for consideration. Doug Ford’s latest overreach into municipal jurisdiction is another reminder that Canada's constitution was written when our country was largely an agrarian society. Large cities like Toronto are now responsible for delivering, and funding a large share of, transit, roads, social housing, recreation, and other services residents rely on every day. Yet the province can overturn any of our considered and debated decisions on a whim. Constant provincial meddling in municipal affairs undercuts local democracy and threatens civic engagement. We risk Torontonians tuning out our public meetings and consultations if the sentiment that the province will just overturn Council decisions takes root. Whether Torontonians agree with a Council decision regarding a development plan, how elections are conducted, or a bike lane, the level of government making the decision should be accountable. Toronto needs a new arrangement with senior levels of government that ensures we have the independence necessary for 21st century cities to thrive and achieve results for residents. Common in…
