B
B
B
My
kids
knew
his
kids,
that's
how
I
came
to
fight
find
out
about
him,
but
from
my
understanding
he
was
the
gentlest
soul
and
I
just
I'm
just
really
sick
about
the
fatalities
and
the
injuries
on
our
streets
and
I
think
that
we
need
a
radical
shift
and
it's
a
shift
in
in
in
our
behavior.
We
all
need
to
slow
down
and
we
are
all
guilty
of
that,
and
you
know
even
people
you
know
with
slow
down
signs
on
their
lawns
are
darting
around
other
neighborhoods.
B
So
if
we
just
need
a
radical
shift
in
our
in
our
thinking
and
our
behavior
to
slow
down
and
be
mindful
of
everyone
on
the
road
to
respect
each
other,
because
it
doesn't
matter
what
mode
of
transportation
you
are
taking,
you
are
a
person.
You
are
a
person
who
drives.
You
are
a
person
who
bikes,
you
are
a
person
who
takes
transit
and
you
are
a
person
who
walks
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
the
beginning
of
the
day.
B
You
are
a
person,
so
we
have
to
get
away
from
this
mindset
that
the
roads
are
for
a
certain
type
of
use
of
there
for
everyone,
and
they
should
be
for
everyone.
But
the
biggest
thing
I
think
we
need
to
get
our
heads
around
and
get
do
a
radical
shift
and
get
proactive
about
is
road
design
and
there
are
many
examples
all
across
the
world
on
safer
streets.
B
B
She's
going
to
Vancouver
in
the
fall
to
school
and
I'm
I
want
her
to
learn
how
to
bike
safely
on
the
roads
in
Vancouver,
because
there
have
a
lot
more
safe
than
ours
and
I
know
they
don't
have
the
volume
of
traffic
that
we
do,
but
they
have
proper,
physically
separated
lanes
and
connected
network,
which
is
what
we're
aiming
towards.
So
I
just
would
encourage
us
all
to
to
work
towards
better
design
for
safe
streets
and
a
more
respectful
collaboration
on
the
roads
and
just
trying
to
keep
everyone
safe
rest
in
peace
Douglas.
Thank
you.

C
He
is
recognized
internationally
as
a
master
of
landscape
and
urban
photography
he's
exhibited
extensively
in
Canada,
the
United,
States
and
Europe,
and
in
2012
he
received
the
governor-general's
Arts
Award
for
visual
and
media
arts.
He
is
the
author
or
subject
of
more
than
a
dozen
books
and
monographs
and
his
2007
book
Toronto
was
nominated
for
a
Toronto,
Book,
Award
and
Michael's,
because
she's
visited
with
us
before.
So
we
know
she
is
the
fifth
poet
laureate
of
the
city
and
acclaimed
novelist
and
poet.
C
C
All
we
saw
on
Thursday
miss
Michaels
releases,
another
small,
but
powerful
book,
infinite,
gradation
and
I
should
say,
because
many
of
us
will
remember
that
she
played
a
very
important
role
and
shows
you
the
value
of
having
this
particular
office
at
the
vigil
30
days
ago
today,
in
honor
of
those
who
lost
their
lives
and
were
injured
and
traumatized
by
the
tragedy
on
Yonge
Street.
When
she
spoke
words
that
I
think
contributed
to
the
comforting
and
perhaps
trying
to
do
the
impossible,
explaining
something
like
that.
C
That
was
obviously
a
very
serious
it
E
and
for
the
people
who
live
here.
Our
photo
laureate
and
poet
laureate
are
also
collaboratively.
Helping
the
city
recognize
the
100
niversary
of
the
Prince
Edward
viaduct
as
part
of
doors
open
Toronto.
This
weekend,
mr.
James
has
curated
a
photo
exhibition
in
the
windows
of
City
Hall
faith
Inc
facing
Nathan's
Phillips
Square
featuring
historic
works
by
Arthur
Goss
Toronto's.
C
First
official
photographer
Goss
captured
the
viaduct
construction
from
beginning
to
end
and
his
images
helped
inspire
author,
Michael
and
Akshay
to
immortalize
the
project
in
his
classic
tome
in
the
skin
of
a
lion.
Miss
Michaels
reads
an
excerpt
from
the
book
here
at
City
Hall.
This
Saturday
at
2
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
and
mr.
James
photo
exhibition
can
be
seen
from
May
the
26th
to
June
the
3rd
and
so
I
would
ask
you
councillors.
D
Mara
torii
members
of
council
is
an
honor
to
be
here
today.
Thank
you
again
for
supporting
the
role
poet
laureate.
Thank
you
to
Pat,
Tobin,
Sally,
Han
and
Christopher
Jones
for
their
continuing
support
of
the
poet
laureate
role
throughout
this
very
busy
and
very
productive
year.
A
month
ago,
I
was
scheduled
to
take
up
the
mayor's
challenge
and
inaugurate
National
Poetry
Month
today,
I'm
here
to
belatedly
take
up
that
challenge,
and
it
is
exactly
one
month
ago
today,
as
the
mayor
said,
on
April
23rd,
that
the
tragedy
at
Yonge
and
Finch
occurred.
D
Perhaps
poetry's
most
profound
function
is
to
witness
I
wrote
a
poem
which
I
read
at
the
vigil
following
the
attack,
a
vigil
that
was
a
single,
powerful,
citywide
prayer,
a
note
flowing
of
utter
compassion.
He
was
a
moment
that
revealed
the
soul
of
the
city
and
his
poet
laureate
I'm
allowed
to
use
that
word
soul.
D
What
we
give
cannot
be
taken
from
us
all
night:
it
grows
the
wall
of
flowers,
prayers
saw
a
spontaneous
immediate,
a
thousand
names,
ten
thousand
a
ribbon
of
white
board
with
its
prayers,
a
blockade
against
the
dark
glowing
under
the
moon
and
stars
that
remain
in
the
sky.
When
day
comes
offering
their
proof,
the
lost
will
not
be
lost,
we
hold
them
close.
D
D
I
would
now
like
to
introduce
our
great
photo
lorry
at
Jeffrey
James.
Our
city
is
the
first,
and
only
in
Canada
to
have
both
a
poet
and
photo
photo
laureate
and
Jeffrey
and
I
are
collaborating
on
a
book-length
project
which
he
will
tell
you
more
about
and
which
will
be
a
joint
legacy
and
Mark
our
city's
unique,
valuing
of
the
Arts
Jeffrey.
E
Thank
You
Ann
mr.
maryk
councillors,
I'm
still
actually
trying
to
process
the
fact
that
I'm
Laurie
attic
it
came
out
of
this
two
years
later,
but
he
came
completely
out
of
the
blue
and
it's
something
that
I've
been
trying
to
define
as
a
photographer
I
use
my
medium.
It's
really
a
way
of
understanding
the
world
and
having
this
platform
of
an
official
position,
it's
opened
all
kinds
of
doors
and
horizons.
E
For
me,
for
one,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
I've
been
able
to
satisfy
my
curiosity
about
Arthur,
Goss,
I,
think
a
slightly
mysterious
man
who
he
worked
for
30
years
as
the
city
photographer.
We
know
very
little
about
him,
but
he
wanted
to
be
an
artist.
He
was
meticulous
and
he
left
this
a
body
of
work
that
falls
into
an
well.
There
are
two
categories
for
me
of
photographs.
One
goes
into
a
file
that
says
best
before
date.
E
This
is
all
our
iPhone
pictures,
then
there's
another
file
that
says
save
for
later,
and
the
thing
about
Goss
is
what
he
did
is
now
so
remarkable
and
I
hope.
You'll
have
a
chance
to
look
at
the
photographs
that
I've
chosen
at
city
hall
of
the
viaduct.
He
took
3,000
of
them
and
they
were
done.
You
know
in
order
to
commemorate
and
memorialize
a
great
Civic
achievement
and
a
piece
of
civil
engineering,
but
what
we
also
learn
from
them.
E
If
you
look
closely,
we've
blown
them
up
and
clean
them
up
a
little
because
they
were
aging
you'll,
see
an
extraordinary
set
of
conditions
of
labour,
largely
immigrant
of
the
people
who
built
that
bridge
Michael
Ondaatje
had
his
Finn
and
his
Flying
Nun
in
his
famous
novel.
But
in
these
pictures
you
see
men
in
soft
hats
and
boots
and
and
a
shirt
up
on
cement,
shoots
and
hanging
two
structures:
I,
don't
know
how
many
died
was
weed
I,
don't
think
they
kept
count
in
those
days.
E
So
in
a
way,
these
pictures
are
a
homage
to
a
civic
civil
engineering,
but
also
to
the
people
who
built
it.
As
for
our
book,
it's
a
huge
pleasure
for
me
to
be
able
to
renew
my
friendship
with
an
who
I've
known
for
some
while
and
it
it
started
spontaneously
and
I.
Think
I
can
only
describe
the
process,
which
is
simple.
E
C
I
just
had
a
chance
to
flip
through
it,
I,
don't
know
who
else
but
there's
a
marvelous
picture
of
Queen
Street
East
here,
and
it
shows
you
what
can
be
done
with
a
photograph
in
terms
of
all
kinds
of
things
that
that
come
out
of
it
in
terms
of
about
the
city
and
about
that
part
of
the
city
and
the
people
who
are
in
the
photo
and
the
time
of
year.
It
is
I'm
speculating
because
it
looks
like
one
of
those
times
years
that
are
sort
of
gray
and
dismal
in
a
certain
way.
C
C
C
Justin
morrow
drew
Moore
and
Toronto's
own
astro
and
morgan
and
by
some
senior
staff
members
from
the
Toronto
FC,
and
they
have
brought
with
them
the
championship
trophy
that
the
city
is
so
excited
that
they
won.
After
what
was
a
magical
2017
season
and
I
should
tell
you
that
once
they've
had
a
chance
to
come
up
here
and
say
a
few
words
once
a
Tim
has
we'll
invite
all
of
you
who
want
to
come
up
and
have
a
picture
taken
with
the
with
the
trophy
to
come
up
and
do
that
as
well.
C
But
you
know
it's
interesting
to
watch
the
evolution
of
that
team
and
some
of
you
will
have
had
a
chance
to
go
to
the
games
early
on
and
go
to
the
games.
Now
and
from
the
beginning,
there
was
a
spirited
group
of
fans
who
marched
their
way
from
Liberty
Village
down
to
the
stadium
and
who
had
a
spirit
inside
the
stadium.
That
was
like
almost
nothing
else.
C
This
team
has
excited
to
run
Tony
ins
and
their
fans
have
excited
the
rest
of
the
city,
I
think
at
the
same
time-
and
you
know
they
frankly
kept
the
excitement
going
all
the
way
through
to
the
finals
of
the
concat
CONCACAF
Champions
League
in
April,
and
so
on
your
behalf
again,
this
is
our
opportunity
to
formally
congratulate
them.
We
had
a
rally
out
in
the
square
right
after
the
MLS
championship,
but
this
is
a
team
that
did
us,
proud
and
I
want
to
say
to
Tim
and
his
staff.
C
They
Sam
a
championship-caliber
coaching
staff
and
roster
to
coach
Greg.
Obviously
he
did
the
job
of
putting
our
Reds
out
in
a
position
to
win
a
match
in
and
match
out
and
to
the
players,
of
course,
because
they
out
work
their
opponents
and
they,
you
know
they
had
some
of
those
unbelievable
games
at
the
end
of
the
season
last
year
that
took
us
to
to
the
championship,
and
some
of
them
are
from
Toronto.
Some
are
the
Canadians.
C
They
are
I
think
like
like
the
extra
man
on
the
field,
as
they
say
and
I
think
that
this
was
one
of
the
most
successful
seasons
in
Major,
League
Soccer
history
by
our
team
and
the
stadium
was
packed
and
Seattle
in
the
end
was
defeated
and
I
got
some
smoked
salmon
from
the
mayor
of
Seattle.
That
was
terrific,
I,
don't
even
know
it.
You
know,
like
happens
in
my
office.
These
things
come
in
from
these
bets
and
I
never
see
them.
C
They're
just
gone
into
some
mystical
place
somewhere,
but
you
know
who
else
benefited,
and
this
is
important.
The
Toronto
Daily
Bread
Food
Bank
benefited
from
that
friendly
wager
that
we
had
with
the
mayor
of
Seattle
when
we
defeated
them
in
the
championship.
So
again,
I
want
to
just
say
to
you.
Congratulations
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
coming
here
to
be
with
us
today
to
have
this
kind
of
slightly
more
formal
celebration.
F
These
trophies
are
light
good
morning.
Thank
you
very
much
to
Mara
Torre
and
the
entire
City
Council
for
recognizing
our
team
this
morning.
It
means
so
much
to
everyone
at
Toronto
FC,
because
every
time
our
team
takes
the
field
we
strive
to
represent
the
city
and
in
the
best
possible
way
we
have
the
best
support
in
all
of
North
America
with
our
fans,
and
we
never
ever
take
that
for
granted.
In
2017,
we
made
history
becoming
the
first
team
in
Major
League
Soccer
history,
to
win
three
domestic
titles.
F
In
one
season,
we
raised
all
three
trophies
at
Field,
making
the
accomplishments
even
more
memorable.
First,
the
Canadian
championship,
which
we
won
in
thrilling
fashion
over
our
rivals
from
Montreal
next,
was
the
supporter
shield,
which
is
awarded
to
the
team
that
finishes
the
MLS
regular
season.
With
the
most
points
we
did
that
by
the
way,
in
record-setting
fashion
becoming
the
first
team
in
league
history
to
reach
69
points
in
a
single
season.
Finally,
we
won
in
West
Cup,
beating
the
Seattle
Sounders
2-0
and
becoming
the
first
Canadian
team
to
ever
win
the
title.
F
We
left
little
doubt
that
the
2017
team
was
the
best
in
the
22
year,
history
of
Major
League
Soccer,
and
this
was
all
before
the
historic
run
in
CONCACAF
Champions
League
league
earlier
this
year,
but
we're
not
done
speaking
on
behalf
of
Larry
Tannenbaum
and
then
want
to
see
Board
of
Directors
president
bill
Manning
and
our
head
coach,
Greg,
Vani,
Giroud,
Justin
and
ash
and
the
rest
of
our
players
and
staff.
Our
goal
as
a
club
is
to
compete
for
trophies
every
season.
That's
what
the
City
of
Toronto
deserves.
That's
the
legacy.
F
C

A
A
council
has
decided
to
consider
item
PG
29.1
on
a
strategy
for
minimizing
the
negative
impacts
of
residential
infill
construction.
As
the
first
item
after
member
motions.
That
item
will
be
followed
by
item

the
children's
services
divisions,
opportunities
to
achieve
greater
value
for
child

B
E
A
A
Q
Been
a
point
of
privilege
and
I
know
how
hard
you
work
at
trying
to
manage
all
of
us
which
isn't
easy,
but
when
there's
a
conversation
on
one
side
and
something
else,
and
you
call
for
the
vote
and
sometimes
the
clerk
hasn't
even
got
the
motion
up
on
the
screen.
It's
a
little
bit
difficult
for
some
of
us
to
follow
it.
So
because
we
don't
have
your
microphone
here,
everything
you
say.
Q
So,
if
you
guys
help
us
understand
and
make
sure
that
we
see
the
motions
and
have
a
chance
to
understand
what
we're
voting
on
I'd
appreciate
that
sorry
and
that's
in
no
disrespect
to
my
colleague,
councillor
Fletcher,
but
I,
don't
know
what
she's
saying
and
and
I
appreciate
that.
But
that's
exactly
the
point
is
we
can't
all
hear
it
around
the
chamber
and
we
just
want
to
be
aware
of
the
items
that
we're
voting
on.
So
we
can
vote
appropriately
and
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
for
you
up
there
with
everybody
yelling
out.
A
Q
And
I'm,
not
talking
about
right,
it
was
I,
didn't
want
to
interrupt
you,
some
of
the
previous
ones,
that
there
were
amendments.
It
was
difficult
for
us
to
see
the
motion
up
on
the
screen
and
someone
said
recorder
vote
and
someone
said
they
didn't,
so
it
was
a
little
bit
confusing
and
I
know
it's
difficult
for
you
in
that
role.
If
you
can
just
make
sure
we
have
a
chance
to
see
the
motions
and
though
we're
voting
on
I
would
appreciate
that
now.
A
I
Sorry,
thank
you.
Madam
Speaker.
I
would
like
to
introduce
a
notice
without
motion
regarding
repairs
at
7:05
progress,
Avenue
unit
63,
to
ensure
a
AODA
compliance,
fire
and
building
code
regulations
and
additional
interior
work.
It's
urgent
because
we're
hoping
to
move
the
autistic
Center
in
for
July
and
the
repairs
need
to
be
finished
before
July
again.
F
A
Ey
2955
is
a
confidential
report.
So
we'll
have
to
move
a
motion
when
we're
gonna
go
in-camera
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
review
the
items
that
have
been
held
down
that
are,
have
confidential
reports
and
ask
individually
if
they
need
to
go
on
camera.
I
know:
counselor
ma'am
lady
wants
to
go
on
camera
on
his
item
and
then
we'll
move
a
motion
to
go
in
camera
later
today:
okay,
yeah.
Yes,
it's
a
name.
It's
a
confidential
report,
so
page
three
with
top
of
the
page
ext
4.11.
A
A
P
A
P
We
I
think
all
of
us
for
the
most
part
understand
where
are
these
offices
are
going
and
what
they
do,
but
what
I
don't
understand
is
if,
if
we
have
some
concerns
about
how
they're
doing
it
and
there's
a
complaints
lodged
about
that
or
if
there's
some
wrongdoing
in
those
offices
in
terms
of
how
they
do
their
particular
work,
where
do
does
a
counselor
go?
Where
does
the
public
go?
Is
it
the
general
manager's
office
that
that
reprimands
investigates
is
it?
N
P
P
N
P
F
P
N
P
N
A
A
L
L
Speaker
going
to
start
my
clock
over
again,
please
in
all
our
jurisdictions,
provincial
municipal
federal.
There
is
a
recourse
if
a
decision
is
made.
If
somebody
is
not
happy
with
the
decision
that
they
wouldn't
can
appeal
that
be
it
in
the
body
it
be
it
in
the
in
the
in
the
in
in
in
the
court
system,
be
it
in
the
private
sector
am
I
correct
in
that.
N
L
N
N
L
I'm
in
court
and
I
do
something
wrong
and
I'd
like
the
first-level.
If
I
don't
succeed,
I
appeal
and
if
I
don't
succeed,
I
appeal
again
until
I
can
go
to
the
Supreme
Court
of
Canada
in
this
situation,
if
a
counselor
or
a
citizen
is
not
satisfied
with
a
decision
of
an
accountability
officer,
are
you
trying
to
tell
me
that
there's
no
recourse
that
that
individual
can
take
what.
N
N
L
A
citizen
can
take
judicial
review
and
how
would
he
or
she
go
about
it?
No
I'm
talking
about
a
citizen
that
has
a
complaint
against
a
council
member
in
the
and
the
accountability
officer,
has
the
decision
and
he
or
she's
not
satisfied,
and
he
or
she,
and
then
the
citizen
wants
to
appeal.
Where
does
the
citizen
if.
N
If
the
complaint
is
about
a
council
member,
then
I'm
I'm
left
with
the
impression
that
the
accountability
officer
would
be
the
integrity
commissioner,
and
for
those
complaints,
Council
is
the
final
decision-maker.
Council
is
the
final
decision-maker.
The
integrity
commissioner
brings
recommendations
to
Council.
N
N
Am
madam
Speaker?
If
the
complaint
is
about
a
member
of
council,
then
the
integrity
commissioner
would
be
bringing
recommendations
to
council,
for
an
action
could
be
a
reprimand,
could
be
suspension
of
remuneration,
there's
a
range
of
options
for
council.
The
final
decision-maker
on
a
complaint
about
a
member
of
council
under
the
code
of
conduct
is
in
fact
City
Council
and.
N
N
D
R
R
N
I
P
P
You
is
very
expensive
if,
if
the
only
mechanism,
we
have
to
prove
that
our
our
officers
have
have
stepped
outside
of
their
boundaries
is
to
go
to
court,
then
that's
very
expensive
for
any
one
member
of
the
public
or
any
one
member
of
council
to
do
and
I
think
we
owe
it
to
everybody
to
have
a
formal
process
in
place,
which
is
it
could
be.
The
city,
manager
and
I
heard
that
that's
that
that's
the
process.
So,
let's
put
it
down
on
paper.
Let
let
all
of
us
understand
where
we're
supposed
to
go.
P
If
that's
the
case,
and
even
if
it's
supposed
to
come
to
council
in
what
form
is
it
supposed
to
come
to
council,
we
don't
even
know
if
it's
supposed
to
be
a
notice
of
motion,
we
don't
know
if
we
put
it
on
to
the
agenda.
One
of
the
committees.
We
don't
know
what
what
that
process
is,
because
they
said
it
themselves,
they're,
not
too
sure
all
right
so
and
why
do
I
do
this
I?
P
Do
this
cuz
I
believe
that
there's
been
instances
where
they
stepped
outside
the
boundary
and
I've
gotten
legal
advice,
and
that
legal
advice
is
there's
nearly
not
too
much
you
can
do,
because,
if
you're
supposed
to
be
the
watchdog
of
the
watchdogs,
then
where's
the
real
independence
here?
What
independence
do
they
really
have
if
they
think
that
they're
going
to
be
punished
for
something
or
on
those
that
think
they're
going
to
be
punished
for
something
they're
looking
into?
It
should
be
an
independent
body
that
determines
everything,
not
counsel.
P
Absolutely
ridiculous,
you're
bound
to
confidentiality
if
the
if
the
integrity
Commissioner
has
a
complaint
on
you,
but
the
person
who
puts
the
complaint
in
it
doesn't
isn't
bound
to
confidentiality,
so
everything's
made
public
anyway,
and
so
the
councillors
all
right.
This
is
just
an
example.
By
the
way
of
things
that
happen,
the
councillors
that
are
being
complained
about
have
to
shut
up
and
not
say
anything,
but
the
person
who's
complaining
about
that
councillor
can
go
to
the
media
and
tell
them
the
whole
story.
P
How
fair
is
that,
if
the
integrity
commissioner,
or
the
Ombudsman
or
the
or
the
the
registry,
the
the
lobby
registry
or
the
Auditor
General,
if
they
choose
to
go
outside
their
boundary,
there
is
no
formal
process
for
you
to
complain
it
about.
Unless
you
want
to
spend
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
court
as
a
councillor
or
as
a
member
of
public.
Do
you
think
that's
fair
folks?
P
So
I,
don't
know
what
might
happen.
I
am
gonna.
Follow
up
with
the
city
manager
because
I'd
like
to
know
what
that
process
is
and
I
hope
it's
going
to
be
a
fair
process,
that's
put
in
place,
and
not
one
of
just
arbitrarily
saying.
Well,
the
provincial
legislation
says
this
and
that's
it
we're
just
going
to
trust
it
and
we're
gonna
go
with
it,
and
these
these
officers
are
or
what
they
do
is
is
is
is,
is
just
cut
and
dry
Thank.
L
P
Here
was
there
was
a
councillor
perks,
he
reversed
it.
He
made
it
sound
like
it's
all
about
them,
reporting
to
Council
and
that's
it
and
we're
supposed
to
just
accept
it,
because
that's
the
process,
that's
not
what
I'm
talking
about
here
I
understand
the
process
of
the
complaints.
I
understand
their
there
are
obligations.
I
understand
all
that
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here.
So
my
question
say
to
you:
if
they've
made
a
mistake,
give.
L
P
Think
the
process
would
do
that,
I
think
if,
if,
if
people
were
allowed
to
look
at
a
process
set
in
place
to
take
on
those
types
of
complaints
or
inquiries,
I
think
if
that
process
was
fair.
All
of
that
would
be
dealt
with
with
that
process.
I'm,
not
convinced
that
a
notice
of
motion
will
do
that
right.
So
I
think
there
needs
to
be
an
add-on
to
a
process
with
respect
to
a.
P
I'm,
certainly
looking
for
an
ability
as
a
counselor,
to
be
able
to
go
somewhere
if
I
think
the
accountability
officers
have
crossed
the
boundary
and
right
now
there
isn't,
except
coming
to
all
of
you
and
as
much
as
I
love.
All
of
you,
I,
don't
believe
the
politics
would
play
well
out.
In
that
scenario,
sides
going.
A
A
L
A
L
A
F
P
P
A
A
G
Think
you,
madam
Speaker,
so
first
of
all,
I
have
some
some
empathy
and
some
experience
with
the
nature
of
the
problem
that
you're
alluding
to
cultured
family.
But
my
question
is
this:
what
is
a
sensitive
position
of
an
accountability
officer
and
actually
any
senior
any
senior
staff
position
that
is
authorized
by
legislation
if
they
make
a
mistake
and
you
have
a
legal
opinion
that
indicates
that
they
may
have
made
a
mistake
in
in
satisfying
their
statutory
requirements?
What's
to
prevent
you
from
bringing
that
legal
opinion
here
for
counsel
to
adjudicate,
as
I
think
was?
G
P
Just
let's
just
assume
that
that
is
the
case
and
there
is
a
legal
opinion
saying,
there's
a
problem
here:
there's
no
process
set
in
place
for
that
to
happen,
except
a
notice
of
motion.
Today
we
learn
something
different.
When
I
asked
a
Furley
er
what
the
process
was,
they
said,
I,
don't
know
we
don't
we
don't
know,
and-
and
we
just
heard
as
well-
that
there
there's
no
prep
there's
no
precedent,
there's
no
protocol
right
and
so
the
only
protocol
they
can
give
is
the
city
manager's
office
for
that
kind
of
scenario
right.
P
G
Understand
it,
so
my
second
question
is:
can
we
can
you
accept,
as
a
friendly
amendment,
not
only
accountability
officers
but
any
senior
staff
position
that
is
authorized
by
legislation?
No,
because
that's
the
personal
problems
I've
had
so
people
are
acting
outside
their
jurisdiction,
then
they're
having.
P
You,
like
my
intent
here,
is
just
strictly
to
deal
with
I.
What
I
think
is
a
is
something
that's
been
left
out
of
the
process
right
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
address
that
right
or
for
an
avenue,
for
instance,
for
you
or
someone
in
the
public
to
be
able
to
address
it
in
in
a
formal
process,
because
right
now,
there's
no
formal
process
to
deal
with
this
part
of
the
scenario
Thank.
B
P
I'm
talking
about
those
accountability
officers
if
they
decide
on
their
own
to
step
out
of
their
legislative
requirements,
there's
no
process
for
us
to
find
out
whether
they
did
or
not,
except
spending
a
hundred
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
the
courts.
I
I
think
that
if
staff-
and
you
heard
them
staff
said
the
city
manager
would
be
the
process
for
this.
This
sort
of
scenario
all
I
want
in
this
motion
is
to
formalize
that
particular
approach.
That's
it
did.
B
P
P
Not
what
I'm
talking
about
I'm
talking
about
the
reports
that
come
forward
I'm,
not
talking
about
those
I'm
talking
about
how
they're
doing
their
job
and
if
we
feel
that
or
the
member
of
public
feel
that
they're
doing
it
in
an
inappropriate
way.
There's
no
process
for
us
to
look
at
that,
except
now
the
city
manager,
so
I'm
just
asking
that
that
be
formulated
into
into
into
a
process
for
us
as
we
can
understand
it.
So.
B
When
we
are
looking
for
to
hire
an
accountability
officer
in
the
City
of
Toronto
and
and
people
put
their
names
forward,
did
you
know
that
they're
the
credentials
and
the
requirements
are
that
they
are
consummate
professionals
if
they
have
the
utmost
integrity
that
they
are
here
to
bring
accountability
to
the
floor?
Use
your
McMahon.
A
J
Madam
Speaker,
this
is
incredibly
concerning
and
I
would
strongly
urge
all
of
us
to
vote
against
this
in
a
way
that
we've
never
voted
against.
Anything
else
that's
been
put
before
us.
This
motion
is
the
tip
of
a
slippery
slope
towards
degrading
the
integrity
of
our
collective
offices
and
the
trust
and
confidence
that
the
public
should
be
able
to
have
in
their
elected
representatives
and
their
elected
body.
J
What
this
motion
does
is,
at
the
very
least,
puts
us
into
a
position
to
degrade
the
independence
that
we
have
created
with
these
accountability
offices
at
the
very
worst
in
a
very
Donald
Trump.
Like
way,
it
tries
to
turn
the
table
on
the
accountability
officers
when
there
is
a
concern
by
perhaps
those
who
are
subject
to
the
investigations
that
they
might
be
the
focus
of
an
investigation.
So
what
they
do
is
they
try
to
create
the
narrative
that
there
might
be
something
wrong
with
them?
There's
nothing
wrong
with
the
counts.
J
J
Certainly
they
have
of
me
and
I
may
agree
or
disagree
with
their
findings,
but
I
will
always
defend
and
protect
their
independence
because
they
not
only
ensure
that
we
are
accountable,
but
as
a
citizen,
our
citizen,
myself,
citizens
ourselves,
we
want
to
ensure
that
this
place
retains
that
confidence
and
that
accountability
and
that
integrity
too,
so
don't
allow
this
to
go
any
further.
If
any
of
us
have
a
disagreement
with
the
findings
of
an
accountability
officer,
we
have
a
number
of
tools
at
our
disposal.
J
One
thing
is:
when
a
report
comes
to
council,
we
can
argue
our
point
and
if
we
are
successful,
we
can
argue
successfully
that
that
they
were
wrong
and
we
were
right
and
then
our
colleagues
will
agree
and
they
will
vote
with
us
and
that'll
be
the
end
of
it.
We
also
have
a
public
forum
to
be
able
to
express
our
opinion
and
we
can
say
that
we
respectfully
disagree
with
them
when
we
have
a
different
opinion,
there's
also
the
court
system.
J
If
we
choose
to
opt
in
that
direction,
but
to
start
now
turning
the
tables
insane,
you
don't
investigate
me
I'm
investigating
you,
that's
like
what
Trump
is
doing
a
muller.
That's
the
witch-hunt
narrative,
that's
turning
the
whole
thing
around
and
it's
sending
a
very
dangerous
signal.
So
please,
right
now,
let's
vote
against
this.
Let's
do
away
with
it
and
let's
send
a
very
strong
message
to
those
who
would
like
to
really
corrupt
the
integrity
of
our
accountability,
offices
and
change
the
whole
narrative
around
to
say:
no,
you
can't
get
away
with
that.
J
R
You
speaker,
an
awful
lot
of
what
I
thought
was
important.
Ministers
debate
was
said
by
councilor
Matt
Lowe
I
want
to
remind
you
of
some
of
those
key
points
and
mention
a
few
others.
The
first
is.
We
have
to
remember
that
it.
The
accountability
officers
we
have
here
at
the
City
of
Toronto
are
something
we
should
be
enormous.
Ly
proud
of.
R
This
council
took
the
lead
nationally
on
local
governments,
making
themselves
more
transparent,
and,
yes,
it
was
the
result
of
a
scandal
that
involved
cash
being
handed
out
in
the
parking
garage
to
get
political
outcomes,
and
we
took
action
on
that.
We
took
action
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
strongest
and
clearest
lobbying
rules
of
any
municipality
in
this
country.
Other
municipalities
of
copyists,
we
created
the
role
of
an
integrity
commissioner
of
municipal
level,
other
municipalities
of
copied
us.
We
have
gone
and
strengthened
the
role
of
the
ombudsman
and
the
Auditor
General.
R
There
are
four
accountability
officers
that
we
should
be
thinking
of
here.
The
Ombudsman
has
again
been
copied
by
other
jurisdictions.
That's
the
court
of
last
resort
where
a
member
of
the
public
can
go
councillor.
Mammalia
was
concerned,
there's
nowhere
for
members
of
the
public
to
go.
Actually,
there
is
in
law
and
a
word
that
literally
means
court
of
last
resort.
R
We
actually
have
something
that
we
as
members
of
council,
should
be
proud
of.
That's
the
first
point.
The
second
point
is
that
the
purpose
of
those
accountability
offices
is
not
to
protect
us.
It
is
not
to
protect
councillor
Mammal
Edie
or
myself,
or
councillor
Matt,
Lowe
or
the
speaker
or
any
other
member
of
this
council.
Those
offices
exist
to
protect
the
public
from
any
of
us
who
want
to
abuse
the
trust
that
was
put
in
us.
When
we
were
elected
to
this
office.
R
Setting
up
a
mechanism
as
councillor
mammal
Edie
is
proposed
to
have
oversight
to
protect
us
from
the
accountability.
Officers
effectively
kills
the
purpose
of
them.
The
purpose
of
them
is
to
give
every
every
citizen
in
the
City
of
Toronto
protection
from
arbitrary
and
illegal
acts
by
members
of
the
public
service
or
this
council.
That's
a
good
thing:
that's
the
thing
we
have
to
honor
cherish,
stand
up
for
and
never
give
an
inch
on.
R
The
third
thing
to
bear
in
mind-
and
you
heard
it
from
this:
a
solicitor
is
the
claim.
The
basis
that
counselor
mammal
eighties
argument
rests
on
is
somehow
there's
no
oversight
of
these
accountability.
Officers
I
want
to
remind
you
of
two
things.
Every
year
when
we
do
our
budget
debate,
we
get
two
separate
reports.
We
get
the
city's
budget
and
then
we
get
the
accountability
officers
budget
and
that's
because
we
don't
run
those
offices
through
the
public
service.
The
city's
budget
review
staff
do
not
review
their
budget
only.
R
We
do
because
that
relationship
has
to
be
absolutely
transparent.
No
one
can
ever
doubt
that
something
happened
behind
closed
doors.
The
public
has
to
be
able
to
trace
every
decision.
We
make
relative
to
what
the
accountability
officers
do.
By
the
same
token,
every
report
they
make
where
they
find
evidence
of
concern
or
potential
wrongdoing
comes
here
to
us
and
we
talk
about
it
in
public
so
that
the
public
can
know
what
we're
doing.
R
The
final
thing
that
I
think
is
really
important
to
bear
in
mind,
is
we're
having
this
debate
without
any
relationship
to
any
specific
claim
about
any
specific
accountability
officer.
It's
vague,
general
innuendo,
the
purpose
of
which
I
submit
to
you
is
to
sow
mistrust.
Why
any
member
of
this
council
would
want
the
public
not
to
trust
something
the
accountability
officers
have
said
or
are
expected
to
say
at
some
point
in
the
future
I
leave
to
you
to
think
about.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
There
was
something
wrong
with
that
investigation,
so
it's
kind
of
a
pre-emptive
tactic
used
by
people
who
are
being
investigated
themselves
and
and
are
sort
of
doing
the
advanced
PR
for
for
when
there
is
something
that
comes
out
against
it,
though
that's
south
of
the
border
as
far
as
what's
happening
here,
it
may
be
entirely
coincidental
that
this
motion
is
coming
from
the
counselor,
who
is
the
most
sanctioned
in
the
history
of
this
council
that
may
be
quit
today.
Let
any
case
I'll
be
voting
against
the
motion.
M
Very
much
madam
Speaker
I
wanted
to
echo
some
of
the
points
from
my
colleagues
councillor,
Matt,
lower
and
councillor
perks,
and
also
draw
our
attention
to
a
couple
of
the
recommendations
in
the
Bellamy
record.
I.
Think
our
worth
review
at
this
point
in
time.
One
is
a
recommendation.
18
that
reads:
counselors
should
not
attempt
to
influence
staff
behavior
by
direct
or
indirect
coercion
of
any
kind,
including
intimidation,
bullying
or
looting
to
future
employment,
sorry
future
or
employment
prospects.
M
Now
this
was
translated
into
our
own
code
of
conduct,
saying
that
no
member
shall
maliciously
or
falsely
Gibeah,
give
the
the
professional
or
ethical
reputation
of
staff
injure
the
professional
or
ethical
reputation
of
staff.
I
think
what
we
just
witnessed
was
just
that
when
we
had
a
counselor
in
this
chamber
saying
that
mistakes
were
made,
I'd
use
that
type
of
language
to
to
to
do
what
I
believe
counselor
Perks
described
very
well
so
mistrust
with
what
what
is
an
important
institution
of
our
city
that
we
should
very
well
be
proud
of.
M
I
would
point
out,
though,
that
there's
another
recommendation
within
the
Bellamy
report
that
speaks
to
this,
and
we
shouldn't
ignore
that
that
that
external
audit
there
there
there
is
the
possibility
of
an
external
audit
to
be
to
take
place
in
particular,
in
this
case
the
integrity
Commission.
So
it's
spoken
to
in
this
report.
What
we're
essentially
doing
is
or
what
what
the
councilors
doing
is,
is
in
an
attempt
to
to
so
this
mistrust
and
to
damage
the
reputation
of
our
professional
staff.
What
he's
doing
is
putting
forward
a
solution
in
search
of
a
problem.
P
Yet
again,
council
even
stands
up
and
tries
to
impugn.
My
particular
motives.
I
think
I
made
it
quite
clear:
it's
a
boat,
it's
about
the
the
the
integrity
of
all
of
them,
and
if
they
have
made
mistakes,
there's
no
there's.
No
recourse
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
you're
talking
about
and
I
think
he's
impugning
the
wrong.
The
wrong
message.
Speaker.
G
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
on
first
of
all,
I
don't
think
there
is
anything,
but
certainly
I
have
no
problems
with
accountability.
Officers
that
were
their
role
is
is
a
statutory
role,
and
that
is
that
the
their
method
of
or
mode
of
operation
is
prescriptive
under
the
legislation.
G
If,
in
fact,
any
accountability
officer
is
following
the
procedures
as
indicated
and
under
their
statutory
responsibilities,
I
have
no
problem
nor
I
have
I
had
a
problem
with
any
of
the
accountability
officers
in
the
past.
However,
we're
looking
for
if,
in
fact,
someone
is
deviating
from
their
legal
authorized
procedural
rules.
G
G
Where
is
that's
where
the
decision-making
ability
with
respect
to
whether
an
accountability
officers
is
operating
within
their
statutory
requirements
is,
and
that's
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
So
my
problem
is
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
mechanism
in
place
so
that,
if
I
have
a
question
with
respect
to
somebody
deviating
from
what
their
legal
obligation
is
not
only
to
me
as
a
counselor
but
to
the
public
and
to
this
council.
G
If
they
have
a
legal
obligation
and
I'm
talking
about
staff
in
general,
then
I
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
I
can
come
before
council.
My
problem
is
I,
don't
get
to
come
before
council
I'm
always
ruled
out
of
order,
and
all
I've
ever
asked
for
is
the
opportunity
to
bring
my
concerns
to
Council.
So
in
looking
at
what
he's,
raising
I
I'm
saying
great
he's
had
his
opportunity
to
come
to
Council
Council
will
make
a
decision
and
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
Whatever
council
decides.
A
A
G
A
Q
Sure,
madam
Speaker,
we
had
originally
yesterday
thought
of
doing
PG
29.1
after
the
mayor's
key
items,
which
we
thought
would
be
after
notices,
emotion,
but
being
as
efficient
as
we
are
and
finishing
yesterday,
the
key
items-
it's
here-
it's
PG,
29.1
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
move
a
motion
to
amend
the
order
paper
and
deal
with
it
now,
as
the
staff
are
here.
Thank
you
give
us
a
brief
presentation
on
it
and
we'll
save
us
waiting
for
later.
Okay,.
A
A
A
Q
That
mr.
Johnson,
in
your
new
capacity
in
being
here
for
the
first
time
as
the
chief
building
official,
and
not
understanding
that
the
clerk's
may
have
something
available
online,
but
you
have
to
bring
it
yourself.
My
apologies
for
putting
you
in
that
position,
we'll
all
learn
from
this.
Could
you
give
us
a
brief
outline
in
my
five
minutes
of
questioning
as
to
what
the
policy
is
that
you're
bringing
forward
and
how
it's
beneficial
for
us?
Okay,
thank.
S
You
so
the
the
report,
that's
in
front
of
you,
outlines
strategy
that
the
chief
building
officials
office
has
developed
to
address
the
negative
impacts
of
infill
construction
that
it
has
on
the
community.
That
strategy
has
three
components
to
it.
One
is
around
improving
the
communicate
or
the
arc
improving
communication
with
our
residents
and
to
do
that,
what
we've
done
is
a
number
of
items.
S
We've
established
a
dedicated
enforcement
team,
which
is
situated
in
North
York
with
that
team,
does
is
provides
oversight
of
all
the
infills
sites
across
the
city
in
order
to
ensure
that
they
are
being
addressed
effectively
in
a
timely
manner.
We've
also
established
an
inter
divisional
working
group
that
interdivisional
working
group
has
members
from
all
the
divisions
who
are
impacted
or
how
to
play
a
role
in
infill
construction
to
help
assist
in
developing
the
strategy
we've.
S
The
benefit
of
that
is.
It
makes
all
of
that
information
transparent
to
everyone,
so
that
everyone
understands
what's
going
on
on
the
site.
At
the
same
time,
the
same
website
also
provides
information
on
any
orders
that
Toronto
building
has
issued,
so
it
lists
what
orders
have
been
issued,
as
well
as
the
status
of
those
orders.
S
One
thing
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
that
Toronto
building
has
worked
closely
along
with
the
other
divisions
and
with
build
and
the
ratepayers
associations
to
develop
a
good
neighbor
guide,
which
sets
out
all
of
the
expectations
for
builders
when
they're
moving
forward
with
infill
sites
as
to
what
the
city's
expectations
are
as
well
as
what
the
consequences
are.
Should
they
not
follow
those
expectations.
S
We've
also
established
an
introductory
inspection
that
happens
early
in
the
construction
process,
which
happens
between
the
building
inspector
in
the
Builder.
We
encourage
the
whole
property
owner
to
attend
that
meeting
and
that
once
again,
that
is
to
lay
out
all
of
the
expectations
moving
forward.
We've
also
strengthened
the
knowledge
of
our
building
inspectors
around
zoning
issues.
S
Zoning
issues
tend
to
be
the
more
problematic
issues
that
come
up
on
an
infill
site
and
that
allows
inspectors
to
identify
those
issues
in
a
much
quicker
manner
and
hopefully
before
they
become
more
problematic,
we've
also
tested
out
the
ability
of
using
tickets
on
some
of
our
issues.
It's
a
way
to
motivating
the
Builder
to
actually
address
issues
in
a
more
timely
manner
as
well.
Q
There
are
two
other
outstanding
issues
that
I
understand.
My
colleagues
may
also
ask
on
them.
One
of
them
is
the
issue
and
I
know
it's
a
big
issue
with
my
colleague,
councillor
Matt,
local
I'm,
sure
we'll
follow
up
on
it.
The
issue
of
the
dust
from
stone,
cutting
that
we
didn't
address
when
we
looked
at
this
and
I've
seen
it
many
occasions
where
they're
doing
backyard
or
front
yard.
There
are
suggestions
that
we
could
have
to
bring
a
greater
focus
on
that
because
of
the
dirt
and
the
mess
that
it
creates
for
the
neighbors.
O
Through
the
chair
to
councillor
shiner
missile
licensing
and
standards
is
bringing
forward
a
report
in
July
on
that
very
issue,
as
directed
by
committee
last
year.
So
we'll
be
bringing
forward
a
report
to
address
construction
dust
arising
from
those
types
of
activities
in
July,
and
your
suggestions
might
include
that
might
include
recommendations
on
how
to
remain
control
or
mitigate
against
nuisance
dust
from
construction
activities
onto
adjacent
properties.
So.
Q
S
Through
the
speaker,
this
is
something
we
would
be
addressing
through
our
interdivisional
group.
Toronto
Building
would
play
that
coordinating
role,
but
through
that
interdivisional
group
we'd
work
out
after
the
actual
person
that
would
deal
with
it.
Keep
in
mind.
A
lot
of
our
approaches
are
trying
to
streamline
our
efforts
so
that
we
don't
have
multiple
divisions
showing
up
at
the
site
to
deal
with
the
same
thing.
So,
if
possible,
it
would
be.
We
try
and
streamline
not,
but
the
authority
to
deal
with
that
is
under
municipal
licensing
and
standards
and.
Q
I
had
one
question
of
our
forestry
or
our
parks
division.
You've,
given
us
a
supplementary
report
because
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
have
adequate
tree
protection
and
we
do
protect
them.
Could
you
give
briefly
what
your
report
is
recommending
if
there's
any
changes,
whether
you
believe
it's
satisfactory
and
how
we
can
go
about
being
sure
that
we
protect
the
trees
that
we
want
to
protect?
You.
F
P
Hi,
sorry
about
that,
just
talking
about
America!
So,
madam
madam
Speaker,
it's
my
privilege
to
announce
to
you
a
wonderful
group
of
grade
four
and
five
students
in
my
particular
Ward.
Please
say
hello
to
the
chalk:
farm
public
school
and
their
teachers
today
are
Elizabeth.
Mclean
Fatima
meets
Sharon,
Friedman,
Allison,
covert
and
Alicia
Stefan.
Now
knowledge
I
think
I
pronounced
that
properly.
J
O
Through
the
chair
councillor,
Matt
Lowe,
currently
we
do
have
officers
that
work
every
weekend,
so
if
the
noise
is
occurring
on
a
weekend
or
even
outside,
of
permitted
out
for
construction
during
weekdays,
if
it's
a
reoccurring
event,
we
will
have
officers
there
to
investigate
on
those
days
in
question.
If
it's
a
one-time
occurrence,
no,
we
will
not
have
officers
available
to
dispatch
immediately
to
that
issue.
J
O
J
You,
since
you
first
initiated
the
good
neighbors
guide
and
and
started
working
on
more.
You
know
more
holistic
response
to
turns
brought
by
councillor
Robinson
and
myself
and
others
to
this,
to
this
significant
concern
that
we
heard
from
residents.
What
have
you
found
as
far
as
the
rate
of
complaints
has
a
drop
significantly
is
public
awareness
and
education,
the
most
helpful
tool?
Do
we
need
more
sticks?
Do
we
need
more
carrots.
S
Through
the
speaker
at
this,
so
we've
just
initiated
a
number
of
items,
so
the
the
good
neighbor
guide
is
out
there.
We've
also
introduced
the
introductory
inspection
just
recently
and
very
shortly,
we'll
have
the
requirement
for
builders
to
post
their
construction
notice.
Sign
that'll
actually
provide
residents
with
more
information
around
what
the
expectations
are
so
I
think
until
that
has
evolved,
it
we'd
be
in
a
better
position
to
measure
how
the
complaints
are.
You
know
whether
they've
gone
up
or
gone
down
what
I
can
say,
as
normally
in
these
types
of
circumstances.
S
J
J
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
to
staff
in
June,
2014
I
moved
to
Ceres
emotions
on
this
really
inspired
by
my
residents
in
looking
to
a
strategy
to
improve
and
streamline
the
city's
response
to
infill
construction
sites,
which
are
a
perpetual
problem
in
more
twenty
five.
Would
you
say
all
of
those
motions
that
I
moved
have
been
incorporated
into
this
fully
or
is
there
still
some
work
to
be
done
on
those
motions
through.
S
The
speaker,
I
would
say
that
all
of
those
items
in
your
motion
are
completed
or
nearing
completion.
One
of
the
ones
around
the
construction
site
notice
is
in
front
of
Council
today
to
make
a
decision
and
then,
as
you
heard
from
municipal
licensing
standard,
we
will
be
reporting
back
on
improvements
with
noise
and
dusk.
Those
are
the
two
outstanding
issues:
okay,.
S
K
S
As
I
threw
the
speaker
as
I
indicated
at
the
beginning,
the
strategy
has
a
number
of
components
to
it.
I
believe
that
by
providing
more
information
to
the
residents
actually
helps
to
actually
mitigate
a
lot
of
the
problems
before
they
happen.
A
lot
of
this
approach
in
the
strategy
is
all
around
moving
to
a
more
proactive
approach,
as
opposed
to
reactive
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
that
will
actually
see
some
improvements
in
this
regard.
Okay,.
K
S
S
S
K
Right
and
not
to
be
critical
but
separate
to
these
other
motions,
I
moved
motions
on
dust
suppression
and
it
feels
like
it
was
I,
don't
even
know
how
long
ago
that
I
moved
those
motions,
because
so
many
residents
were
suffering
from
particularly
stone
cutting
throughout
the
entire
summer
and
literally
on
some
streets.
It's
the
entire
summer,
where
people
can't
go
out
and
you
know
utilize
their
backyards
front
yards.
It
has
a
big
impact
on
some
people
with
respiratory
issues.
So
I'm
not.
O
K
O
O
M
Thank
you,
but
thank
you
very
much.
Madam
Speaker
I
have
a
question
about
soft
scaping.
In
these
developments
we
have
a
perpetual
problem
in
Ward,
19
and
I
suspect
many
of
the
other
words
of
infill
properties
hardscaping
over
the
soft
scaping
requirements
within
the
city.
Who
would
be
responsible
for
monitoring
that
who
goes
out
and
says
hey,
you
got
so
many
square
footage
X
percentage,
however,
its
measured
of
soft
scaping
versus
hard
skipping
through.
S
The
speaker
that
issue
is
addressed
in
two
points.
One
is
at
the
time
of
permit
issuance
plant
examiner's
would
be
checking
the
site
plan
to
make
sure
the
right
ratio
of
soft
and
hard
landscaping
is
provided
during
during
through
the
inspection
process.
Building
inspectors
would
be
confirming
what
confirming
that
the
requirements
that
were
set
in
the
building
permit
are
being
adhere
to
so.
O
Through
the
chair
tech,
councillor
Layton,
so
I
guess
during
construction,
the
building
inspector
ensures
that,
what's
being
built
as
in
accordance
with
the
approved
permit
documents.
However,
once
the
construction
is
completed,
the
projects
completed,
then
that
reverts
to
Misbah
licensing
and
standards
as
we
do.
The
enforcement
of
the
zoning
bylaw,
which
is
where
those
requirements
are
enshrined.
So
after
the
project
is
completed,
should
a
homeowner
then
later
alter
their
property
and
the
hardscape
softscape.
Then
that
would
be
miscible
licensing
and
standards
that
would
deal
with
that
issue.
So.
M
If
the
permits
closed
then
admissible
licensing
in
standard
yeah
after
the
permits
closed
its
that's
correct,
I'm,
just
really
quickly,
because
the
the
noise
then
reports
of
noise
violations
for
construction,
because
we
we
get
into
this
every
year
with
it
within
the
budget
process
and
we're
told
that
they're
the
necessary
resources
are
there.
I'm
kidding
can
I
just
get
a
really
clear
time,
because
I
heard
it
comes
from
Matt
Lowe
say
it
was
five
days.
What
is
the
response
time
for
noise
for
reports
of
noise
violations?
So
our.
O
Service
level
standard,
as
we
articulate
through
the
budget
processes,
we
will
respond
within
five
business
days,
but
we
do
prioritize
how
we
deal
with
noise
issues
and
trying
to
identify
a
matrix
of
you
know
the
most
impact
severity
of
the
issue
and
frequency
of
the
issue.
If
construction
noise
is
ongoing
every
day
or
it's
only
happening
on
Sundays,
for
instance,
we're
going
to
wait
and
respond
in
seven
days.
If
the
complaint
comes
in
on
a
Sunday
and
they
say
it's
every
Sunday,
we
wouldn't
respond
until
the
next
Sunday.
M
O
If
it's
a
homeowner,
for
instance,
doing
a
project
themselves,
we
would
educate
and
inform
if
it's
a
contractor,
who
ought
to
know
the
rules
better,
then
we
may
in
fact
take
an
approach
of
issuing
a
ticket
or
a
charge
or
if
we
get
immediate
compliance,
if
we
show
up
and
say
to
them,
you're
not
allowed
to
make
this
noise
it's
prohibited,
you
must
stop
and
they
do
stop
and
pack
up
and
leave.
Then
we've
achieved
compliance.
We
don't
need
to
do
anything
else.
M
O
Will
send
through
the
mail
we
will
notify
for
the
owners
if
we've
received
a
noise
complaint
affecting
their
property,
we
well
in
certain
instances,
send
it
what
we
call
an
advisory.
No,
this
making
them
aware
of.
In
fact,
we've
received
a
complaint
about
noise
coming
from
their
property.
Please
be
mindful
here's
the
rules,
please
be
mindful
of
it
in
a
game.
We
look
at.
O
H
Had
questions
of
the
general
manager
of
transportation
related
to
the
collection
of
fees
from
builders
for
infill
housing,
I
believe
there
are
four
or
five
fees
that
the
Transportation
Department
collects
and
I
have
some
concerns
that
these
are
not
being
collected,
so
the
access
permit.
That's
one
of
those!
Do
you
know
what
percentage
of
the
time
we
collect
the
appropriate
fees
for
the
access
permit.
T
The
the
percentage
of
time
that
we
collect
fees
for
access
permits,
I,
think
counselor.
All
of
our
fee
collection
has
been
somewhat
inhibited
by
lack
of
staffing
and,
and
the
council
has
provided
to
us
through
the
2018
budget
process,
additional
five
staff
to
be
out
doing
inspections
and
addressing
fee
collection.
So
I
don't
have
that
percentage
in
front
of
me.
I
can
certainly
get
to
staff
and
get
that
for
you.
So.
H
T
Are
our
staff
was
to
be
in
for
2:00
p.m.
for
the
timed
items,
so
they
can
certainly
follow
up
with
you
on
those
issues
in
terms
of
percentages,
the
staff
is
out,
as
you
know,
there's
especially
in
your
ward,
but
in
others
in
North
York
as
well,
a
very
significant
increase
in
the
amount
of
infill
construction.
One
of
the
reasons
we
were
very
excited
to
participate
in
the
blitz
last
year
with
our
partners
and
housing.
T
We
have
some
challenges
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
very
excited
about
the
end-to-end
development
review
that
the
chief
transformation
officer
is
leading
is
because
there
are
some
challenges
and
how
transportation
fees
get
collected,
visa
B
building
permits
and
the
builders
requirements
to
come
in
to
address
those
fees
versus
being
able
to
get
a
sort
of
the
ability
to
start
their
construction.
So
it
is
a
challenge.
It's
something
that
we're
working
through
and
I.
Think
we've
articulated.
Some
of
that
in
the
supplementary
report
would.
T
Can't
agree
to
that
I
believe
that
our
staff
is
out
doing
their
best
to
collect
the
fees
that
are
owed
to
the
city
and
I
think
again
through
the
end-to-end
development
review.
Our
plan
is
to
look
at
different
mechanisms
and
methods
of
collecting
those
fees
more
timely
from
the
developers,
whether
it's
bundling
it
with
building
permits
or
other
pieces.
We
have
to
do
a
little
bit
more
analysis
and
given
the
end-to-end
development
review
is
looking
at
all
pieces
of
this,
it
seems
like
the
appropriate
place
for
us
to
engage
in
that
discussion
and.
H
H
Q
Madam
Speaker,
and
to
you
and
to
my
colleagues,
a
number
of
my
colleagues
over
the
years
have
expressed
concerns
about
the
impacts
of
infill
construction
throughout
the
city.
It
was
two
notices
of
motion
and
requests
that
were
taken
on
and
they
did
what
often
happens.
They
got
left
to
the
more
important
things
that
staff
thought
should
be
dealt
with,
however,
having
the
honor
and
the
privilege
to
act
as
chair
of
the
planning
and
growth
committee
and
knowing
how
important
that
is
to
people
I
did
meet
with
staff
of
the
city
and
in
particular
mr.
Q
Johnson
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
did
put
a
motion
through
Council
to
implement
the
interdivisional
consideration
of
this.
So
over
the
last
18
months,
transportation
staff
MLS
billing
division
have
worked
cooperatively
in
an
absolutely
phenomenal
way
to
come
forward
with
the
report
here.
That
does
an
awful
lot
to
help
with
the
issue.
It's
not
perfect.
There
are
continual
changes
that
can
probably
made
to
any
process
you
have,
but
to
see
all
the
divisions
working
together,
I
think
is
phenomenal.
Q
We're
calling
it
a
good
neighbor
policy,
because
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
start
off
working
cooperatively
with
those
that
are
doing
infill
development
to
educate
them
when
they
first
get
their
permits
as
to
what's
required,
what
their
obligations
are
and
to
how
we're
there.
But
if
they
don't
cooperate,
there'll
be
numbers
posted
that
you
can
call
on
the
files
and
the
orders
will
be
all
online
you'll,
be
able
to
see
what
notices
they
might
have
been
given
and
you'll
be
able
to
track.
It
yourself,
I
think
the
early
meeting
with
the
builders.
Q
That
is
a
very,
very
important
step,
because
many
people
that
are
out
there
and
it's
the
Builder
and
the
property
owner
and
oftentimes
you
hire
are
contracted
to
do
work
for
you
and
you're,
not
even
aware
of
what
all
his
responsibilities
may.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you
might
be
moving
into
the
area
of
being
really
happy
you're
there
and
your
neighbors
aren't
so
happy
about
what
might
have
transpired
for
the
last
year
or
two
years,
the
issue
of
the
dusty
issue
of
the
noise.
Q
They
are
all
expendable,
be
coming
forward
and
are
coming
forward
on
that
noise,
in
particular,
I
think
the
noise
issues
we
have
to
strengthen
even
further,
not
just
on
infill
construction,
but
on
all
construction,
because
too
many
people
are
trying
to
work
in
ours.
They
shouldn't
be
around
the
city
and
it
causes
a
great
inconvenience
for
people.
Q
No
one
meets
our
standards,
but
now
a
process,
that's
in
place
that
I'm
hoping
will
become
a
model
for
others
to
do
as
we
continue
to
set
the
bar
higher
and
higher
for
those
around
us
in
other
municipalities,
to
look
at
the
way
Toronto
does
stuff
and
how
great
the
staff
are
here
and
how
good
in
concerning
the
members
of
council
are
when
it
comes
to
issues
like
this,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
these
policies
in
place.
Thank
you.
F
Q
J
Would
serve
my
time
again
that
it's
more
of
a
point
of
order,
yeah
thank
you
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
begin
by
madam
Speaker
thinking
my
colleague,
councillor
Robinson,
for
helping
initiate
this
discussion,
which
is
so
critically
important
to
the
quality
of
life
of
residents
and
communities
like
ours
and
Kessler.
Robinson
I
share.
You
know
a
lot
in
common
with
respect
to
our
community's
concerns,
not
just
the
the
high-rise
development
but
the
infill
development.
J
J
The
proof
will
be
in
the
pudding,
though,
how
effective
we
are
I
brought
up
earlier,
the
issue
around
the
the
cutting
of
stone
for
those
of
you
who
don't
understand
even
what
that
is.
If
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
construction
in
your
area
when
they
don't
wet
it
down
and
they
don't
mitigate
the
dust
that's
created
by
it,
it
can
create
these
large
plumes
of
dust
and
I.
J
Don't
exaggerate
when
I
say
that
that
they
look
like
little
clouds
that
can
go
into
your
neighboring
homes
and
affect
your
quality
of
life
in
your
health
and
when
that's
happening
it
can
be
so
such
a
deplorable
condition
to
live
under
that
you,
you
feel
even
need
to
leave
your
own
home.
It
can
be
just
an
awful
nightmare
and
there
seems
to
be-
and
there
seems
to
be
absolutely
no
protections
for
these
residents
when
they're
subject
to
that
kind
of
construction.
The
noise
is
another
issue.
J
Very
rarely
have
I
found
that
that
that
that
every
contractor
that
contractors
will
will
comply
with
our
noise
bylaws
that
now,
as
all
of
you
know,
our
noise
bylaws
are
7:00
to
7:00
during
the
weekdays
9:00
to
7:00
during
Saturday's
and
zero
during
Sundays.
But
far
too
often,
contractors
will
willfully
ignore
those
bylaws
not
always
resident
builders,
but
very
often
flippers.
They
just
kind
of
come
in.
J
They
don't
really
care
about
the
neighborhood
they're
there
to
make
money
and
then
they
go
and
residents
will
constantly
complain
to
us
to
all
of
us
who
have
a
lot
of
infill
development,
that
those
rules
are
being
broken
and
guess
who
it
falls
to
it's
us
councillors,
but
my
staff
could
have
teased
me.
They
call
me
Batman,
sometimes
because
I'll
get
like
a
you
know
an
email
or
a
call
or
a
tweet
on
a
Saturday
morning
and
I'll
run
out
there.
You
know
what
I'll
do
I
take
out
see
this
pass.
J
This
pass
allows
me
to
go
through
doors
at
City
Hall
into
a
parking
garage,
I,
just
kind
of
hold
it
up
to
the
contractors.
Today,
hey
buddy,
you
better,
you
know
knock
that
off
and
I
and
sometimes
I'll
get
into
quite
intense
conversations,
pretending
that
I'm,
a
bylaw
enforcement
officer
I,
don't
want
to
do
that
on
Saturday
mornings,
anymore,
I
don't
want
to
I.
Don't
want
to
do
that
on
Sundays
and
I
know
I
shouldn't
do
that,
but
nobody
else
is
doing
it
can.
A
J
A
J
The
speaker
just
said
exactly
what
I
say:
two
contractors
many
many
an
early
Saturday
morning
on
Sundays
and
in
late
at
night.
We
shouldn't
have
to
do
that.
There
should
be
a
professional
staff
who
are
there
to
be
able
to
do
it
and,
unfortunately,
even
though
our
staff,
who
do
it
when
they're
able
to
do
it,
do
it
so
well
by
the
way
I
want
to
say
our
MOS
staff
are
the
best
of
the
best
and
I
respect
the
work
they
do
and
I
appreciate
it.
J
I,
don't
believe
that
there's
enough
of
them
and
enough
of
them
during
the
off
hours
to
be
able
to
get
the
job
done.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
builders
typically
flippers,
who
don't
even
follow
the
approved
plans
and
it's
very
difficult
for
residents,
often
to
know
that
that
the
builders
are
in
fact
doing
what
they
are
allowed
to
do
and
knowing
that
there
will
be
consequences
if
they
don't
and
that
they
won't
simply
just
get
retroactive
permissions
at
committee.
If
they've
sort
of
done
it
and
then
big
forgiveness
afterwards.
J
H
You
I
have
a
motion
that
the
city
that
City
Council
requests
the
Auditor
General
to
include
in
the
Auditor
General's
work
plan,
an
assessment
of
the
extent
to
which
the
appropriate
fee
is
related
to
new
home
construction
are
not
being
collected
by
transportation
services
and
how
the
city
can
minimize
any
loss
of
revenue.
This
is
causing
I'll
start
out
by
being
positive.
H
Certainly
this
is
an
excellent
report
and
if
I
was
to
compare
the
situation
a
couple
of
years
ago
to
what
it
is
now,
it
has
improved
dramatically
so
a
couple
of
years
ago
it
was
the
wild
wild
west.
Now
it's
just
the
Wild
West.
So
we
could
too
bad
I
couldn't
take
everybody
for
a
virtual
drive,
but
if
I
could
take
us
all
for
a
virtual
drive
just
through
Ward,
23
and
I
know,
there
are
many
other
wards
that
have
a
lot
of
new
home
construction.
H
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
other
Ward
that
has
as
many,
but
not
only
would
we
find
new
home
construction
on
every
street.
You
would
find
new
home
construction
where
there
is
stuff
piled
all
over
the
city
property,
where
they're
blocking
the
roads
or
the
sidewalks
I
drove
past
it.
This
morning,
pretty
much
every
morning,
if
I
leave,
my
house
I
will
drive
past
something
like
that.
H
We
would
pass
by
sites
where
the
city
trees
are
not
being
protected,
that
the
protection
of
fencing
has
been
taken
down
and
we
will
pass
by
virtually
every
infill
housing
site
if
we
were
to
dig
in
whether
the
fees
have
been
collected
by
the
city
and
there's
a
whole
slew
of
them.
There's
about
five
fees
that
we
collect.
H
If
you
look
into
it,
you'd
find
out
that
those
fees
are
being
collected
on
average
about
50%
of
the
time
by
my
estimate,
so
I'm
unable
to
get
in
there
myself
and
figure
out
exactly
how
much
we
are
losing,
but
I
would
guesstimate
it
to
be
somewhere
between
half
a
billion
at
a
million
a
year
that
just
in
money
that
we're
not
collecting
and
also
by
not
collecting
it.
We
encourage
the
wild
west
because
we
don't
have
the
contact
with
the
builders
while
we're
collecting
the
feed
to
say.
Listen
here
are
the
rules
now?
H
Obey
them,
don't
cause
any
damage.
You
get
your
damage,
deposit,
back,
etc.
With
the
damage
deposit,
we
have
the
craziest
thing
happened,
and-
and
those
of
you
who
have
a
lot
of
new
home
construction
will
have
experienced
this
where
the
transport
Department
doesn't
collect
the
damage
deposit
may
or
may
not
go
try
to
find
the
builder
to
collect
it.
While
the
construction
is
going
on
cannot
find
a
builder
because
we
don't
really
have
home
builders
anymore.
We
have
land
speculators,
building
houses
and
then
guess
what
happens.
H
Somebody
buys
the
property
and
they
get
dinged
with
the
damage
deposit
for
the
sidewalk.
It's
absolutely
absurd
because
it
by
the
time
we
get
around
to
nailing
somebody,
it's
a
new
property
owners.
So
we
really
need
to
bring
this
in
line.
It's
great,
that
we're
hiring
extra
staff,
but
it's
not
so
much
the
certainly.
The
extra
staff
will
help,
but
the
staff
that
are
there
now
are
really
trying
to
do
their
best,
but
they
don't
have
the
proper
processes
to
assist
them.
So
it's
really
a
matter
of
rules
and
regulations
and
processes.
H
Extra
staff
will
help,
but
that's
not
the
main
problem.
So
so,
hopefully
you
know
by
the
time
the
auditor-general
gets
to
this.
Hopefully
she
won't
need
to
because
it'll
all
be
solved,
but
if
not
I've
been
trying
to
deal
with
this
with
the
staff
for
at
least
three
years
without
any
success.
So
we
need
to
do
something
because
we
are
people
are
getting
away
with
just
not
paying
the
fees
and
the
city
is
losing
an
awful
lot
of
revenue.
K
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
Toronto
building
and
the
city
staff
across
the
multiple
divisions
who
contributed
to
this
report.
It's
a
long
time
coming,
I
placed
my
motions
in
June
2014,
but
the
results
are
terrific
and
I
particularly
want
to
thank
the
contributions
of
will
Johnson
and
welcome
him,
of
course,
to
his
new
role
as
the
chief
building
official.
This
is
a
pressing
issue
across
word,
25
and
as
you're
hearing.
K
Other
wards
are
deeply
affected
about
on
this
issue,
especially
when
resident
in
residential
infill
is
top
of
mind
for
for
many
neighborhoods
and
the
the
goal
really
was
to
move
emotion,
directing
stuff
to
develop
a
strategy
to
improve
and
streamline
the
city's
response
to
these
construction
sites.
That
are
very
problematic
and,
as
you
see
before,
you
we've
now
set
in
motion
a
large-scale
interdivisional
review,
culminating
in
the
report.
That's
before
us,
we've
now
got
a
proactive
approach.
We
streamlined
the
enforcement
to
address
the
infill
concerns
and
we've
reduced
the
silo
effect.
K
The
good
old
silo
effect
at
City
Hall
has
been
really
tackled
through
this
process.
I
think
one
of
the
most
exciting
things
is
the
increase
in
transparency,
improving
transparency
with
the
key
information
that's
now
going
to
be
placed
on
hoarding
boards
and
on
the
construction
site
itself,
and
this
should
help
bring
down
the
temperature
in
neighborhoods,
because
neighbors
will
know
what
to
expect
and
can
actually
help
the
city
regulate
infractions.
K
So
all
of
this
is
good
news
being
proactive
versus
reactive
by
really
preventing
deviations
from
the
approved
plans,
as
as
built,
surveys
are
now
required
prior
to
the
construction
of
the
first
floor
walls,
which
has
always
been
a
problem
and
have
left
neighbors,
always
wondering
what's
going
on,
and
of
course,
this
motion
has
asked
tronto.
Building
a
300
lender
create
a
streamlined
strategy
to
ensure
that
service
requests
are
forwarded
to
their
appropriate
city
division,
which
was
a
big
problem
in
the
past.
K
So
again,
lots
of
great
news,
I,
look
very
forward
to
the
dust
suppression
report.
That's
coming
forward
I'm,
happy
to
see
that
we've
addressed
some
of
the
issues
that
particularly
the
silo
effect
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this
outcome
and
and
very
grateful
to
Ward
25
residents,
who
actually
worked
very
closely
with
my
office
and
myself
to
shape
these
motions
that
played
a
role
in
this
in
this
document.
So
thank
you
for
that.
K
F
A
Well,
we're
we're
voting
on
an
amendment
on
this
item.
If
people
were
in
here
and
listened
to
the
debate,
the
bells
are
ringing
to
call
you
when
to
sit
down
to
vote
no
but
nobody's
listening,
and
then
they
question.
What
are
we
voting
on?
So
what
we're
voting
on
now
is
a
motion
by
councillor
Fillion
that
counts
to
fillion,
moved
on
page
5,
PG
29.1,
it's
on
the
screen.
Do
we
need
a
recorded
vote
recorded
vote.
A
C
Minor
motion
originally
I
was
going
to
add
a
stop
control
at
this
intersection.
I've
spoken
with
staff
gonna
refer
it
back
to
the
general
manager
transportation
to
take
a
another
look
at
this
intersection
which
actually
adjoins
to
a
community
center.
We've
had
a
high
volume
of
children
and
families
crossing
here
with.
P
H
P
A
F
F
F
Okay,
it
asks
our
staff
to
continue
to
review
school
sites
that
are
vulnerable
to
potential
closure
or
surplus
and
to
look
through
the
29
to
report
through
the
twenty
nine
budget
process
as
to
whether
or
not
there's
a
need
for
any
additional
funding.
This
report
recommends
five
million
per
year,
but
we
can
find
ourselves
eating
more
or
less.
P
I
F
F
We
could
amend
it,
add
it
to
recommendation
one
in
Council.
You
know
what
councillor
mammal
Edie,
if
you
would
sit
down,
I,
could
help
resolve
this.
Thank
you.
Okay,
just
sit
down,
please
thank
you.
Okay
and
I
would
add
it
to
the
end
of
recommendation,
one
in
consultation
with
any
affected
local
councillors.
