And
of

the
members
of
the
public
and
the
media
who
are
with
us
and
I'll
begin
by
acknowledging
the
land
that
we're
meeting
on
is
the
traditional
territory
of
many
nations,
including
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit,
the
Anishinaabe,
the
Chippewa,
the
Hutt
nashoni
and
the
wend
at
people's
and
is
now
home
to
many
diverse
First,
Nations,
Inuit
and
maytee
people.
And
we
acknowledge
that
Toronto
is
covered
by
treaty
13
with
the
Mississauga's
of
the
credit,
because
it
is
approximate
to
the
very
sad
passing
of
Gordon
Chong.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Gordon
was
not
only,
of
course,
a
great
civic
volunteer
and
an
elected
official
and
many
other
things,
but
he
was
also
one
of
the
pioneers
when
it
came
to
the
Chinese
Canadian
community
and
being
involved
in
the
political
process
and
was
somebody
that
was
very
much
a
fixture
of
city
building
in
Toronto
and
so
I
extend
on
behalf
of
the
members
of
the
committee
and
on
behalf
of
the
members
of
council
and
all
the
people
of
Toronto.
A
Our
condolences
to
Shirley
and
to
his
family
for
Veronique
on
the
occasion
of
his
of
his
very
unfortunate
passing.
I
will
remind
people
that
they
can
watch
us
on
YouTube
at
Toronto,
City
Council
live
or
follow
the
meeting
on
their
computer
tablet
or
smartphone
at
wwr
OCA,
slash,
council
and
I'll
move
to
asking
if
there
are
any
declarations
of
interest
under
the
municipal
conflict
of
interest
Act,
and
if
so,
please
indicate
the
item
number
and
the
nature
of
the
interest.
Are
there
any
declarations
of
interest?
This
morning,
counselor,
pastor,
Knight,.
B
A
Thanks
councillor
Pasternak
any
other
declarations
of
interest.
This
morning,
okay
may
I
have
a
motion
to
confirm
the
minutes
of
the
executive
committee
meeting
of
June
19
2018
and
moved
by
councillor
McMann,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry.
The
clerk
has
informed
me
that
we
have
two
requests
to
add
new
business.
The
first
proposed
item
is
entitled
coordination
between
the
TTC
and
Metrolinx
board.
You
have
that
item
before
you
on
pink
paper,
I
think
the
only
guy
that
doesn't
have
it
as
me
is
it
here.
Oh
there
it
is
under
there's
lurking
underneath
here
there.
A
It
is
so
I
have
it
too,
and
we
have
that
and
I
just
at
this
moment
in
time.
We'll
have
a
motion.
If
I
could
to
add
this
item
to
the
agenda
moved
by
councillor
to
Georgio
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
so
we'll
discuss
that
later
and
then
the
second
one
is
entitled
next
steps
to
acquire
surplus,
LCBO
site
at
11,
brock
avenue
for
affordable
rental
housing
and
this
item
to
is
in
front
of
us
on
pink
paper,
and
it's
right
here.
A
It
looks
like
that,
and
so
if
I
could
just
have
a
motion
for
now,
then
to
add
this
item
to
the
agenda
moved
by
Councillor
McMahon,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
So
that
gives
us
a
total
of
50

50
items
on
the

from
the

carry
item
36

This

the
one
I
think
in
which
you
have
a
conflict
and
councillor
Crawford
I
believe,
has
a
motion
on
this
yeah.
It's
the
motion
ready,
yes,
I
saw
it
so
its
technical
emotion
from
stuff.
A
It
I
think,
what's
in
yeah,
so
I
think
that's
what
that
does
so
you're
moving
the
the
Ament
technical
amendment
so
may
I
have
a
vote
on
that
call.
The
question
on
the
amendment
moved
by
councillor
Crawford,
all
those
in
favor
opposed,
Carrie
and
I
think
that
substitutes
for
the
recommendation.
We
don't
need
to
item
as
amended
item
as
amended.
All
those
in
favor
opposed

on
the
transportation

adjustments
is
that
ready
do
we
know
it
is
there.
It
is
it's
up
there,
so
you
can
see
what
does
that
do?
Councillor
Crawford,
just
so
people
know
change
the
amount

changing
some
amounts
around.
Okay,
no
there's
a
modest
capital,
modest

On
this
item,
36
point

may
I
have
the
call
the
question
on
the
amendment
moved

councillor
Crawford,

carried

affordable
and

mid-range

This
is
a

coming
from
the
Affordable

and
the
recommendations
in
the

are
moved
by
Councillor
by
Lao.
Are
there
all
those
in
favor
one.
D
A
Councilman
Oh,
fine,
okay,
sir
I
didn't
see
you
there,
madam
speaker,
okay,
well
hold
36:27,
then,
and
we
can
find
that
amendment
cause.
While
we
do
that
item
36,
2030
6.28,
creating
new
purpose-built,
affordable
rental
homes
in
our
six
Bayside
waterfront
district,
it's
a
recommendation
coming
from
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee.
So
may
I
have
a
motion
from
deputy
mayor
by
law
to
approve
the
recommendations
from
the
affordable
housing.
A
A
All
those
in
favor
carry
item
36
point
33,
supporting
new
transitional
housing
for
youth
at
212,
Epsom,
Downs
Drive,
and
this
again
is
coming
from
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee,
with
recommendations
move
by
deputy
mayor
by
Lao.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item,
36
point
34,
property
tax
relief
for
new,
affordable
rental
homes
created
through
the
region;
Park.
Revitalization,
again,
it's
part
of
the
affordable
housing
program.
A
These
are
recommendations
coming
from
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee,
moved
by
deputy
mayor
by
allow
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item,
36
point
35
progress
on
Toronto's
participation
in
Ontario
development
charges,
rebate,
program
for
non
luxury,
rental,
housing,
I.
Believe
Council
of
Iowa
has
a
motion.
Yes,.
D
A
A
Should
just
say
at
the
end
of
all
that
string
of
items
we
will
be
coming
back
to
one,
but
I
want
to
take
note,
as
I
did
with
the
media
this
morning.
This
represents
a
huge
step
forward
and
again
it's
not
enough
and
we're
gonna
be
working
hard
to
do
more,
but
I
think
just
what
was
approved
in
those
items.
A
Save
and
except
the
one
that
will
be
discussed
further
is
a
is
the
achievement
of
the
annual
target
for
2018
and
then
some
and
it's
still
in
need
of
more
effort,
but
I
think
it's
a
showing
how
committed
I
think
that
the
Housing
Committee
the
council,
the
city,
have
been
to
addressing
affordable
housing
in
a
more
meaningful
fashion
and
meeting
and
exceeding
our
own
City
set
targets
for
many
years
ago.
That
weren't
met
for
so
many
years
and
I
just
think.
A
That's
very
significant,
and
since
we
won't
be
discussing
these
individually
because
we've
just
approved
a
lot
of
them,
I
think
it's
worth
noting
that
item
36
point
38
potential,
rooming
house,
property
acquisition
and
modernization
in
Ward,
14,
Park,
Delhi
Park.
This
is
a
recommendation
coming
from
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee,
moved
by
deputy
mayor
by
Lao.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
item,
36
point
39
service
agreements
awarded
and
executed
by
the
medical
officer
of
Health
for
2018.
A
The
suggested
disposition
coming
from
the
Board
of
Health
is
to
adopt
the
recommendations
of
the
board
to
receive
the
report.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
receive
the
report
moved
by
somebody
has
to
move
this
moved
by
Councillor
DiGiorgio.
All
those

carry
item,
36:40,
accessible,
affordable
housing,
Toronto,
accessibility,
Advisory,
Committee,
working
groups
update
and
there
is
not.
There
is
not
a
recommendation
coming
from
the
Advisory
Committee
here,
but
it
concerns
the
both
the
involvement
of
stakeholders
and
proactive
consultation
on
some
changes
in
this
area.
A
The
recommendations
of

Similarly,
it
did
not
come
with
a
recommendation.
There
are
recommendations
we
have
in
front
of
us
in
this
case
developing
an
employment
strategy
for
persons
with
differing
abilities,
and
is
there
someone

So
that

I've

There's
a

This

is

coming
from
the

of

for
the

talking
about
improving

A
Is
there
a

coming
from

of
our

That's
the
recommended
disposition.
May
I
have
a

to
receive
this

for
information.
A
Counselor
deputy

bylaw,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
then,
if
people
are
ready,
we
can
see
what's
up
with
the
two
items
that
were
added
as
new
business,
the
first
being
item.
What
I
guess
will
be
36,
48
or
49
I?
Guess
it
is
the
TTC
item
36
point
49,
which
is
the
TTC
item
on
pink
paper
concerning
the
representations
to
the
provincial
government
and
talks
about
an
exchange
of
board
members
between
the
TTC
and
Metrolinx
mutual
exchange.
A
A
So
that
then
brings
us
back
to
the
beginning
and
we
had
on
item
36.1
vision,
zero
road
safety,
plant,
accelerations
and
contract
amendments,
one
deputation,
and
that
is
Hamish
Wilson
good
morning.
Mr.
Wilson,
thanks
for
being
here-
and
you
know
the
rules,
you
have
five
minutes
and
over
to
you.
Yes,.
F
Good
morning,
and
thanks
for
everybody
being
here
and
hauling
in
and
I'm
pretty
pleased
that
you're
taking
this
vision,
zero
and
the
road
safety
pretty
seriously,
because,
quite
honestly,
it
is
a
really
serious
problem
for
everyone
within
the
city.
Now
it's
a
it's
a
very
complicated
thing
to
try
and
change
the
momentum
of
a
system.
There
are
so
many
vehicles,
the
momentum
of
our
roads.
How
they've
been
designed
the
momentum
of
all
the
drivers
coming
in
and
we
haven't
actually
invested
in
enough
transit
to
really
have
better
options
for
people.
F
So
it's
not
simple,
and
it's
not
necessarily
so
quick
and
cheap
and
easy
to
do
things
so
low
again.
Lowering
speed
limits,
that's
a
really
good
thing
and
enforcement,
especially
if
we
move
beyond
the
residential
areas
to
lower
the
speed
limits
on
the
larger
karti,
riyals
I.
Think
that
would
be
along
with
enforcement.
You
may
have
noted
that
the
BBC
did
a
story
on
cycling
safety
in
the
city
and
just
recently,
and
we
didn't
fare
well,
it's
not
the
first
time
that
we've
had
global
exposure.
F
There
was
the
bikes
versus
cars
movie
from
documentary
from
maybe
three
years
ago.
Maybe
you've
never
even
heard
of
it.
It's
always
possible
so
I'm
pleased
that
you're
starting
to
really
put
momentum
into
this,
but
at
the
same
time
it
feels
that
you're
throwing
money
at
the
problem
be
a
bit
more
before
an
election.
Rather
than
really
taking
it.
That
seriously.
Pardon
me
it
does
seem
a
little
less
plan
than
reactive,
because
I
don't
think
we
do.
We
tend
to
do
the
planning,
except
in
the
four
year
cycles.
F
F
F
We
tend
to
have
a
patchwork
rather
than
a
single,
connected,
smooth,
safe,
east-west
network,
and
we
need
the
east-west
in
the
core
and
it's
very
difficult
on
other
streets
because
of
the
streetcar
tracks
and
more
about
that
later,
but
there's
one
segment
of
the
bike
plan
that
hasn't
been
done
yet
between
Bloor
Street,
on
Bloor,
Street
ease
between
church
and
Sherbourne.
So,
if
you're
at
all
serious
about
this,
I,
really
think
you
need
to
do
something
this
year.
F
This
would
be
a
rough
schematic
not
to
use
two
four-letter
words
of
bike
lanes,
but
this
is
a
compromise
of
merely
doing
a
wider,
curb
Lane,
consistent,
curb
lane,
with
removing
the
parking
on
the
north
side
of
the
street,
from
Sherbourne
over
to
church
and
24-hour
parking
on
the
south,
giving
consistent
Lane
widths.
There's
a
real
problem
in
that
this
is
one
of
the
more
persistent
nasty
gaps
on
Bloor
Danforth.
F
You've
got
the
long
standing,
viaduct
bike
lanes
and
then
you're
just
tossed
into
a
nasty
gauntlet,
and
if
any
of
you
bike,
you
should
try
doing
this.
It's
just
a
nasty
nasty,
dangerous,
so
notice
of
hazard,
not
just
the
traffic
but
the
road
condition,
especially
from
Sherbourne
over
to
the
top
of
Jarvis.
This
could
be
done
very
easily.
I.
F
Think
suggestion
of
motion
council
approved
the
removal
of
Northside
on
street
parking
on
Bloor
Street
East
between
urban
and
Church,
and
the
conversion
of
South
Side
parking
to
24-hour
parking
and
the
restriping
of
this
road
for
increased
bike
safety
through
wider
and
consistent
with
curb
quote
unquote
lanes
along
with
some
repaving,
her
cyclists
travel,
exact
details
to
be
confirmed
with
staff
and
the
local
councillor
with
as
immediate
doing
as
possible.
It's
only
25,000
bucks,
a
kilometer
to
repaint
a
lane
line.
F
Do
you
know
repaint
Lane
lines
for
bike
lanes
and
you've
only
had
25
years,
gosh
darn,
you
know
also
great
you're
spending
money,
but
this
is
so
necessary
and
overdue,
and
it's
not
merely
about
bike
safety.
It's
about
transit
relief,
notice
of
hazard.
You
have
issues
with
bluer
and
Danforth
subway.
You
have
issues
at
the
bluer
young
interchange.
F
It's
overload.
This
is
as
cheap
and
as
easy
as
quick
way
of
actually
leaving
the
transit
pressures
as
you
can
possibly
get,
and
if
you
provide
safety
and
smoothness,
some
people
are
going
to
bike
in
in
London
England,
where
they
get
this.
They,
let's
see
I,
have
it
here
somewhere
transportation
for
London.
They
found
that
they
could
get
about
10%
up
to
10%
of
relief
on
the
Victorian
embankment
line,
I've
nudged
the
TTC
on
this
for
a
few
years.
They
seem
to
be
rather
slow
on
getting
things
too.
F
A
A
Okay,
I,
think
and
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff,
because
they've
taken
a
council
decision
and
pretty
quickly
turned
it
around
into
what
I
think
is
a
very
practical,
doable
list
and,
notwithstanding
with
respect
mr.
Wilson's
comments,
there's
a
very
specific
list
of
things
that
will
be
done
with
this
money
and
people
can
go
out
and
see
it
every
day
of
the
week
and
see
intersections
being
modified
paint,
work
being
done,
signals
being
installed
and
I
think
it's
a
work
that
will
continue
through
the
rest
of
the
year
and
I.
A
G
Started
this
just
four
years
ago,
at
the
beginning
of
this
term
and
I
know
that
certainly
the
the
numbers
aren't
where
we
would
like
to
be
this
year,
but
last
year
deaths
on
our
roads
were
down
18%
and
unfortunately,
the
way
it
was
reported
by
some
of
the
media
outlets
was
including
expressways
like
the
401,
which
we
all
know,
we
have
no
jurisdiction
over.
So
in
2017
we
did
a
little
better.
G
Unlike
Sweden
and
who's
been
out
at
more
than
20
years
and
still,
unfortunately,
experiences
deaths
on
its
streets,
so
we
have
a
long
way
to
go,
but
this
is
another
commitment
to
accelerating
this
plan,
which
has
now
been
accelerated
in
in
less
than
18
months
four
times,
and
the
commitment
that
the
mayor's
recently
made,
along
with
the
budget
chief,
have
now
brought
the
dollars
up
way
above
a
hundred
million.
So
this
is
major
investment
in
the
roads
and
safety
in
our
city
for
all
our
vulnerable
users.
G
The
work
with
that
staff
have
done
on
rolling
out
senior
safety
zones
which
we
see
now
all
over
our
city.
We
see
school
safety
zones
which
we
launched
last
September,
now
we're
actually
expanding
those
into
community
safety
zones,
and
we
just
go
on
and
on
so
the
the
all
the
ease
that
are
part
of
vision.
Zero
are
being
achieved
slowly,
unfortunately,
you
know
we're
still
experiencing
deaths
on
our
streets,
so
as
local
councillors
I
hope.
We
keep.
G
All
of
us
keep
an
eye
on
our
individual
awards
to
look
at
what
we
can
do
to
improve
things.
But
again,
as
the
mayor
is
stated,
this
is
another
great
piece
of
news
to
see
how
staff
are
really
figuring
out
how
to
do
the
procurement
piece
more
quickly,
but
also
deliver
the
services
and
more
effectively
and
in
a
timely
fashion,
and
that
is
happening
so
this
this
report
again
in
my
mind,
is
a
milestone.
G
It's
the
end
of
an
end
of
a
term
where
we
just
were
dabbling
and
talking
about
a
plan
at
the
beginning
of
this
term.
It
took
us
a
while
to
get
it
through
the
reports
written
and
through
public
works,
and
it
went
back
to
Council
and
back
to
public
works,
but
we
finally
adopted
it
in
July
of
20
2016
for
implementation
in
2017,
but
we
accelerated
at
the
tail
end
of
2016
because
on
the
unfortunate
statistics
of
the
2015-2016
period,
so
a
lot
of
work
has
been
done.
G
So
thank
you
to
everybody
for
your
your
support,
your
investment,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
long
road
and
we
knew
it
was
going
to
be
a
bumpy
road,
but
at
least
Ron
we're
on
that
road,
and
we
actually
Toronto
has
a
plan
and,
and
it's
and
it's
a
great
plan,
we
just
need
to
get
it
rolled
out.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
You,
mr.
mayor,
just
very
briefly,
road
safety,
pedestrian
safety
is
quickly
becoming
the
number
one
issue
that's
coming
across
my
desk
in
our
office
up
in
wort
n,
which
is
an
inner
suburban
award,
the
cut
to
traffic,
the
congestion
of
major
arterial
roads
and
intersections
triggers
numerous
complaints,
and
this
is
like
a
commend
staff
and
and
councillor
Robinson,
the
mayor
for
moving
this
and
funding
this
forward.
But
at
the
same
time,
we
have
to
look
beyond
the
responsive
strategy
and
look
at
some
of
the
auto
industry
and
their
approach
to
marketing
vehicles.
B
The
speed,
the
power
and
the
racing
that
they
embed
in
all
their
advertising
and
marketing.
Trying
to
sell
vehicles
in
which
the
faster
you
go
is
is
a
good
thing,
whereas
we're
working
the
other
way
to
get
people
to
slow
down.
You
often
have
also
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
engineering
of
some
of
these
vehicles
and
the
increasing
number
of
blind
spots
that
are
occurring
in
vehicles
and
making
it
very
difficult
to
see
pedestrians
and
cyclists
that
are
that
are
coming
into
sight
lines.
B
It
is
the
principal
that
is
responsible
for
the
safety
of
these
schools,
and
they
must
play
a
more
robust
rule
rather
than
blaming
the
city
for
the
chaos
that
occurs
across
700
or
so
school
sites
in
our
city
and,
of
course,
enforcement.
Unless
there
are
consequences
too
dangerous
and
reckless
driving
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
where
we
want
to
be.
So.
Those
are
just
my
observations
that
the
industry,
the
school
board,
police
services,
traffic,
marshals
and
so
forth.
B
A
You
thanks
counselor
Pasternak.
Any
other
comments
on
this.
I
might
just
make
this
comment.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councillor
Robinson.
She
has
been
a
leader
on
this
and
it
has
been
an
issue
that
has
been
you
know,
challenging
for
us
to
keep
up
with
and
I
think.
The
very
fact
that
there
has
actually
been
achieved
for
accelerations
means
that
we've
really
put
shoulders
to
the
wheel
and
I
previously
commended
our
staff,
but
it's
also
had
political
leadership
from
councillor
Robinson
and
I
think
we
are
actually
making
progress
I.
A
Just
when
I
was
out
and
about
this
weekend.
You
know
what
you
see
now,
quite
obviously,
the
dramatic
increase
in
the
number
of
those
speed
display
signs
the
electronic
ones
that
show
people
how
fast
they're
going
and
those
are
effective.
None
of
these
things
are
effective
to
eliminate
the
safety
issues
but
they're
all
effective
in
their
own
way.
I
saw
quite
a
few
in
the
way
I
was
in
the
West
End
of
the
city
of
the
middle
of
the
street.
I
call
them
signs
that
are
there
I
think
those
are
effective.
A
A
I
said
to
the
meeting,
because
I
think
it's
worth
repeating
here
on
the
record
at
the
committee,
which
is
that
all
of
these
changes
all
of
these
changes
as
worthwhile
as
they're
as
important
as
they're
as
constructive
as
they
are
and
as
helpful
as
they
will
be,
are
not
going
to
substitute
for
a
change
in
human
behavior
and
and
I've
said
this
this
morning
to
the
media
and
I.
Just
repeat
it,
because
it
sort
of
comes
off
some
of
the
comments
councillor
Pasternak
was
making.
A
If
people
don't
decide,
they're
gonna
stop
distracted
driving,
for
example,
if
they
don't
decide
they're
going
to
obey
the
speed
limits
it
reminded
by
the
signs
we're
putting
up
and
so
forth,
then
it's
going
to
take
us
a
lot
longer
to
get
to
zero
and
people,
starting
with
drivers,
but
not
exclusively
drivers.
All
people
have
to
sort
of
restore
that
social
contract
that
was
in
existence.
It
seems
in
an
earlier
time
where
people
looked
out
for
each
other.
Drivers
looked
out
for
cyclists,
who
looked
out
for
pedestrians,
who
looked
out
for
drivers.
A
Everybody
looks
out
for
each
other
and
I
just
think
that
the
fundamental
challenge
in
front
of
us
and
there's
a
very
good
public
education
campaign
that
is
coming
from
the
Transportation
Department.
This
fall,
which
I
think
will
really
focus
on
that
message.
But
you
know
we
can
run
all
the
campaign's
in
the
world
in
terms
of
public
education.
If
people
don't
decide,
it
is
important
to
them
as
they
say,
and
they
truly
believe
it
is
and
change
their
own
behavior.
A
Think
in
the
end,
you
know
that's
the
task
for
us:
can
we
get
it
done
effectively
and
responsibly,
and
the
answer
is
yes:
they've
got
a
very
detailed
list
of
things
that
they're
doing
so
anybody
else
who
wishes
to
make
comment
all
right.
Well.
On
that
note,
then
we'll
bring
36.1
and
the
recommendations
in
the
report
to
the
question
and
I'll
ask
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
36.2
is
being
held
for
a
deputation
Derek,
Moran
starik
here
I
haven't
seen
him
this
morning,
but
okay.
Well,
mr.
mr.
mark
Jarek
Moran
is
not
here.
A
H
Sorry
custom
this
particular
item
I,
won't
ask
any
questions
here
or
I
won't
speak
to
the
matter
here,
but
I
will
be
asking
questions
at
Council
and
speaking
to
the
matter
at
Council.
I'd
also
like
to
ask
at
this
point
in
this
time
that
we
ask
that
the
chief
of
police
come
to
Council
to
answer
questions
on
this
particular
matter.
I.
H
A
In
public
right
so
so
the
request
is
for
the
chief
to
appear.
We
might
try
to
help
him
by
timing.
The
item,
it's
sure
absolutely
I,
will
convey
the
request
through
the
committee
that
that
he'd
be
asked
to
come
and
answer
questions
at
the
right.
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
councillor
Thompson.
So
can
we
can
note
that
in
the
minutes-
and
somebody
can
remind
me
that
were
to
do
that-
all
right
then
now
I
just
have
this
green
sheet
here,
which
has
deputations,
but
is
the
next
item
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
A
All
right,
so
what
would
I'll
ask
for
ask
for
a
motion
from
councillor
Thompson
that
the
chief
of
the
police
be
requested
to
appear
before
the
City
Council
at
its
meeting
in
July
of
2018?
To
answer
questions
on
item
36.2
and
so
councillor
Thompson
moves
that
all
those
in
favor
of
the
amendment
I'm.
Sorry.
A
Actually,
that's
a
good
point.
I
think
the
the
report
was
submitted
to
the
executive,
medium
isn't
going
through
to
council
okay.
So
now
what
we
could
do
is
have
him
see
if
he
could
possibly
come
over
today
hold
it
down.
We
could
why?
Don't
we
just
investigate
that
and
see
if
we'll
hold
it
down
and
see
if
there's
any
chance,
he
could
come
over
here
tonight
and
we
could
time
it
to
his
convenience.
I
mean
I
I,
don't
know
how
long
this
meetings
gonna
last,
but
we
I,
don't
think
it's
gonna.
Last.
H
A
Something
there
is
a
another
report.
This
is
yes,
there's
the
report
on
the
emergency
meeting
that
was
held
between
city
staff
and
the
police
that
is
coming
to
council
right.
What
we
could
do
if
it's
amenable
to
you,
counselor
Thompson,
has
asked
the
chief
to
come
on
that
which
may
well
be
planning
to
do
anyway
right.
We
could
specifically
request
he
come
on
that
and
then
I
think
probably
most
of
the
questions
would
be
in
order
underneath
that
report
yeah.
Are
you
a
Content
we
can
find
with
that?
A
H
A
H
A
No
I
understand
that's
why
I
was
saying
most
of
the
questions
probably
could
be
asked
within
the
context
of
the
emergency
emergency
community.
I.
Think,
probably
almost
anything
that
you
could
want
to
ask
would
be
that
covered
by
that
I.
Think
I'm,
fine
with
that,
but
I've
been
briefed
on
what
that
meeting
was
and
it
covered.
You
know
everything
on
the
waterfront,
so
that
will
work
all
right.
So
then,
what
we'll
do
on
this
one
is.
A
Sorry
that
no
the
emergency
meeting
has
already
happened
between
staff
and
the
police.
They
will
be
submitting
a
report
directly
Council
on
that
meeting
and
he
will
then
come
to
answer
questions
on
that
report,
which
will
be
subject
to
questions
anyway
by
counters.
Okay,
that's
why
you
thanks
counselor
Thompson!
Okay:
where
did
that
leave
us
next
and
it
is
36.7,
is
next
it's!
A
The
next
item
was
held
for
deputations,
okay
and
it's
the
item
on
additional
property
tax
and
legislative
change,
options
to
support
businesses
and
Messer's,
Miskin
and
kuru,
who
we
know
very
well
from
tabia,
have
asked
to
speak
together
and
they
will
be
given
a
total
of
ten
minutes
to
say
their
the
piece
and
we're
we
welcome
you
here.
It's
always
good
to
see
you
both
so
please
over
to
you
good.
I
I
These
those
meetings
reveal
the
general
consensus
on
some
points,
one
that
current
value
assessment
is
in
one
form
or
another
here
to
stay
to
that.
The
root
of
the
problem
lies
in
the
assessment
act,
a
provincial
statute,
but
the
province
has
dumped
the
burden
of
solving
the
problem
on
the
municipalities
through
what
it
calls
tools.
The
tools
have
so
far
proved
to
be
inadequate.
I
Thirdly,
the
taxpayer
should
be
protected
from
sudden
spikes
in
tax
and,
fourthly,
that
there
cannot
be
a
perfect
tax
system
and
the
object
is
to
attain
the
greatest
fairness
for
the
largest
number
of
taxpayers.
The
report
for
action
which
you
have
before
you
I
call
it.
The
RFA
states
that
and
I'm,
quoting
from
it.
Cva,
is
an
internationally
accepted
best
practiced
in
in
property,
taxation
theory,
I
emphasize
the
word
theory
and
when
applied
consistently
provides
for
a
fair,
transparent
and
easily
understood
taxation
system
unquote.
I
Well,
CVA
were
fair,
we
wouldn't
be
discussing
it
now
and
it
certainly
is
not
transparent
nor
easily
understood,
try,
reading
the
assessment
act
or
for
that
matter,
even
your
tax
bill.
The
report
goes
on
the
say
and
I'm,
quoting
again.
Toronto
should
continue
to
adopt
policies
designed
to
move
properties
to
full
CVA
Taxation
levels
as
a
means
of
establishing
equity
in
the
distribution
of
property
classes
unquote,
but
we
have
been
trying
to
do
that
for
20
years
and
there
is
still
no
end
in
site
again,
quoting
from
the
report.
I
I
Accordingly,
Toby
has
concluded
that
the
only
way
this
problem
can
be
solved
is
by
attacking
the
problem
at
its
root.
We
do
not
propose
dumping
CVA,
but
we
do
propose
varying
yet
after
a
great
deal
of
thought,
Tavia
has
arrived
at
what
we
think
could
be
an
effective
permanent
solution
to
having
proposes
limiting
assessments
or,
if
you
will
capping
them
as
opposed
to
tapping
taxes.
What
would
this
achieve?
One?
It
would
protect
taxpayers
against
huge
jumps
and
assessment
on
any
given
property
two.
I
It
would
restore
an
element
of
certainty
and
predictability
for
owners,
which
is
definitely
lacking
now.
Thirdly,
it
would
be
administratively
more
simple
than
capping
tax
increases
and
more
transparent.
Fourthly,
applied
to
all
property.
It
would
avoid
the
necessity
of
creating
special
classes
of
property.
I
Fifthly,
it
would
not
impair
municipalities,
tax
revenues,
which
will
be
determined
in
the
usual
way
through
the
municipalities,
ability
to
fix
tax
rates
6ly.
It
would
partially
protect
toronto
business
from
the
punitive
discriminatory
rates
which
the
province
imposes
through
its
business
education,
tax
1/7.
It
would
avoid
the
shifting
of
any
tax
burden
between
different
kinds
of
property
owners
whose
assessments
were
reduced
would
get
the
full
benefit
on
a
reduced
tax
bill.
Clawbacks
would
no
longer
be
required.
I
Tenth
revenue
loss
from
cap
properties
would
be
made
up
from
all
members
of
the
class
in
the
form
of
a
higher
tax
rate
or
across
all
classes,
as
opposed
to
the
present
system,
where
only
some
property
owners
finance
the
revenue
laws
in
this
Pino.
It
is
to
be
noted
in
the
RFA
that
78%
of
participants
in
the
public
consultation
sessions
I'm.
According
from
the
report
now
78%
indicated
a
marked
preference
that
capping
protection
should
be
funded
by
increasing
tax
rates
across
all
classes,
including
residential,
well
39%
of
online
survey.
I
Respondents
suggested
the
same
lastly
applied
to
all
property,
including
industrial
residential
rural
assessment.
Capping
could
bring
many
of
these
benefits
to
all
property
owners
across
the
province
depending
on
policy
decisions.
Your
property
could
revert
to
full
CVA
if
it
were
to
be
sold
at
arm's
length
or
if
the
use
of
the
property
were
to
change,
and
that
value
would
constitute
the
base
for
future
capping.
Some
13
American
states
use
that
system
or
some
variation
of
it.
I
It
has
to
be
noted
that
the
deviation
between
the
full
CVA
and
the
taxable
portion
of
the
current
value
assessment
would
in
itself
affect
the
market
value
of
the
property.
We
stress
that
this
proposal
is
not
the
California
system.
The
major
objection
to
tobias
proposal
is
that,
after
time,
you
could
get
a
growing
gap
between
full
CVA
and
taxable
assessment
on
any
property.
The
RFA
refers
to
this
in
the
second,
the
last
paragraph
on
page
11,
where
it
states
quote
the
greatest
benefit
would
accrue
to
those
whose
property
values,
therefore
wealth,
have
increased
the
most.
I
The
difficulty
without
objection
is
that
you
are
taxing
wealth,
which
has
not
been
realized.
Imagine
that
the
government
imposed
capital
gains
tax
on
the
increased
value
of
your
assets,
even
though
you've
never
disposed
of
them.
You
bought
a
stock
and
it
increased
in
value.
Should
you
be
taxed
on
the
increase,
even
though
you're
still
holding
that
stock?
That's
what
undiluted
CVA
does
to
the
average
increases
in
assessed
that
to
above
average,
increases
in
assessed
value.
In
conclusion,
we
should
be
emphasizing
fairness
and
not
continuing
to
subject
our
tax
system
to
the
orthodoxy
of
full
CVA.
J
You
I
just
take
a
minute,
first
and
foremost,
your
worship,
members
of
committee,
we'd,
like
to
thank
staff
for
engaging
us
in
this
process.
We
made
a
similar
deputation
some
time
ago,
and
staff
has
allowed
us
to
submit
our
findings
and
and
to
discuss
and
the
ability
to
participate
in
the
public
meetings
that
took
place.
We
look
forward
to
we
understand
the
process.
This
is
not
something
that
we
resolve
by
this
term
of
council,
but
we
will
be
moving
forward,
so
we
look
to
to
further
be
engaged
in.
J
What
we
truly
believe
is
a
very
fair,
predictable
system
and
predictability
is
the
thing
the
business
small
and
large
are
looking
for
in
terms
of
tax
policy.
So
again
we
submit
the
this
deputation,
not
only
in
response
to
the
report,
but
also
to
effectively,
if
you
will
have
our
foot
in
the
door
to
continue
to
consider
this
option
as
the
city
struggles
with
a
fair
tax
policy.
Thank
you
thank.
H
H
What
are
you
doing
now
to
either
open
the
door
in
the
province
and/or
to
have
those
discussions
about
the
needed
changes
that
needs
to
be
done
at
the
provincial
level
in
order
us
to
be
able
to
look
at
a
much
more
fairer
tax
system
that
would
actually
not
suffocate
the
very
businesses
that
we
need
to
do.
Try
to
drive
the
economy
as
such
councilor.
I
J
J
G
You
very
much
mr.
Murphy
I
guess
just
what's
the
bottom
line
on
this
for
you
when
I'm
out
talking
to
my
bi,
A's
and
I,
have,
as
you
know,
very
dynamic
vis,
young
Lawrence
area,
as
well
as
young
Edgington
I,
hear
a
lot
of
stories
from
independent,
small
businesses
on
their
struggles.
So
could
you
just
paint
that
picture
for
us
a
little
bit
on
what's
happening
in
our
neighborhoods?
G
I
Essentially,
what's
happening
is
people
are
being
shocked
by
spikes
in
their
taxation
and
certain
areas,
as
you
know,
I've
become
highly
desirable
in
the
marketplace,
or
developers
start
moving
in
and
buying
a
property
and
much
higher
values
and,
if
you're
anywhere
in
that
vicinity,
your
assessment
automatically
goes
up
because
somebody
may
be
a
very
wealthy
developer
is
prepared
to
pay
more
for
your
property
than
otherwise
would
be
the
case.
So
the
assessments
go
up
in
your
taxes
spike.
I
So
by
imposing
this
kind
of
assessment
cap
you
would
be
protected
against
that
very
event,
and
it
brings
to
you
a
predictability,
and
that
is
one
thing
that
is
terribly
missing
from
the
curve
system
that
you
don't
know
from
one
assessment
processor
cycle
to
the
next,
where
your
taxes
are
going
to
be,
nobody
can
carry
on
business
properly.
That
way,
you
can't
plan
financing.
You
can't
plan
lease
and
you
can't
plan
investment
in
your
business.
G
An
excellent
description
of
what's
happening
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
and
even
a
little
bit
at
Yonge
and
Lawrence,
but
for
the
most
part,
Yonge
and
Eglinton,
and
next
week
at
Council,
we're
debating
the
young
edgington's
secondary
plan
and
all
those
amazing
businesses
in
Uptown.
It's
called
Uptown
young,
the
BIA
are
really
struggling
and
I
think
stressed
about
what's
happening
there
and
I'm
glad
the
chairs
here
of
economic
development,
to
hear
this,
because
they
really
don't
know
what
tomorrow's
going
to
bring
because
of
the
very
thing
you've
just
described.
J
J
There
are
neighborhoods
in
this
city,
where
the
per
square
foot,
tax
rate
or
TMI
to
be
fair,
absolutely
fair
or
higher
than
the
market
rent
per
square
foot
that's
unconscionable
and
as
much
as
we
did
what
we
needed
to
do,
and
we
cap
taxes
at
10
percent
for
any
business,
a
10
percent
tax
it
every
year
is
not
sustainable.
That
will
catch
up
to
us,
and
that,
unfortunately,
is
where
we
are.
So
we
really
do
need
to
fix
this.
Put
some
predictability
into
it.
G
J
Captured
that
in
how
Main
Street
goes
so
goes,
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
we've
shown
that
BIA,
certainly
commercial
areas
in
this
city,
whether
there
be
is
or
not
somewhere
challenged
a
little
more
than
odd,
but
the
importance
of
the
success,
the
vitality
of
a
Main
Street,
has
a
direct
impact
on
the
residential
neighborhood.
The
single
largest
investment
that
we
make
as
folks
is
our
home
and
that
home's
value
can
in
fact
be
impacted
by
how
Main,
Street
or
the
local
Main
Street
in
that
neighborhood
is
performing.
J
D
J
Weren't
they
weren't
active
in
in
reaching
out
I
think
staff
in
their
mandate.
There
was
a
lot
of
representatives
from
across
the
city
different
organizations.
I
we
both
attended
one
of
the
meetings,
so
we
spread
that
that
the
meetings
across
there
was
active
participation
I
think
there
was
some
good
insight.
I
think
staff
was
able
to
draw
conclusions.
We
in
fact
drew
some
during
our
deputation
in
terms
of
percentages
that
were
out
there.
I
I
have
no
problem
with
the
process
to
a
certain
degree.
J
B
You
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
and
a
totally
speaking
I'm
seem
to
be
noticing
more
and
more
retail
operations.
Shuttering
with
the
brown
paper
in
the
window,
then
another
tenant
gives
it
a
try.
You
know
six
months
or
a
year
later,
do
you
have
any
statistics
to
track
business,
retail
business
closures
and
reasons
for
in
recent
years,
or
is
this
more
anecdotal?
We.
I
Don't
have
we
don't
have
studies,
because
you
know
we're
a
nonprofit
organization
and
very
limited
funding,
so
our
information
is
very
much
anecdotal
as
well,
but
at
John
and
I
spent
considerable
time
traveling
around
the
city
and
observed
exactly
what
you're
commenting
on
counselor
and
it
is
all
over
the
city
that
it
was
a.
We
see
it
not
merely
in
areas
which
you
think
have
not
maybe
kept
up
economically
we're
seeing
it
in
areas
which
are
considered
to
be
prime
economic
areas.
J
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
for
that
counselor,
you
know:
we've
moved
down
the
road
of
digital
Main
Street
and
thanks
to
economic
development,
Michael.
Thank
you
because
we've
had
the
ability
of
trying
to
move
small
businesses
in
this
city
into
the
21st
century.
It
is
no
longer
brick-and-mortar
where
you
open
that
up.
It's
become
a
bricks
and
clicks
business
out
there.
J
So
from
that
perspective
we
definitely
have
to
move
along
in
that
in
that
capacity,
and
we
are
definitely
doing
that
to
help
sustain
business
in
the
city,
but
there
are
definitely
trends
when
those
vacancies
when
that
brown
paper
goes
up,
there
is
a
trend
in
what
moves
in
next.
Usually
it's
the
gastronomy,
the
foods,
the
restaurants.
They
seem
to
have
sustainability,
because
as
much
as
we
can
order
online,
you
still
have
to
eat
and
you
go
out
and
and
we're
social
animals.
So
that's
what's
happening
out
there.
J
The
other
thing
that's
happening
is
the
service
industry.
The
businesses
that
traditionally
were
on
the
second
floor
is
the
lawyers,
the
accountants
etc.
The
doctors
have
in
fact
moved
and
taken
the
opportunity
of
some
of
these
vacancies
to
move
on
to
Main
Street.
You
know,
as
we
get
gray
as
I.
Am
you
you're
not
gonna,
walk
those
20
stairs
to
get
up
to
your
doctor
or
your
lawyer.
J
Now
these
guys
have
realized
that
they
need
to
service
the
the
baby
boomers
as
that
Bell
moves
over
across
the
threshold,
rather
than
the
upset
of
staircase,
so
we're
seeing
that
in
filth,
but
that
doesn't
lend
itself
to
a
dynamic,
Main
Street.
You
know
it's
that
traditional
office.
There
is
no
window
shopping,
there's
not
that
traditional
Greek
Volta
when
you
walk
the
streets
in
the
evening,
etc.
So
we're
definitely
at
a
transition
and
taxation,
unfortunately,
is
a
part
of
that
cause.
J
It's
you
know
you
can
now
open
up
a
business
in
a
thousand
square
foot,
light
industrial
section
and
and
have
the
UPS
truck
with
a
can
of
the
poster,
come
and
pick
up
your
stuff
to
distribute
it.
So
we
need
to
sustain.
We
need
to
sustain
the
vibrancy
of
our
Main
streets
and
again,
as
Lionel
mentioned
when
our
poll
came
out,
their
taxes
were
the
number
one
identified.
B
I
was
I,
was
told
recently
of
a
business
that
closed
in
the
bath
or
so
Wilson
area
in
the
area
represents
on
the
rents.
All
in
was
thirty
six
hundred
a
month
for
a
small
retail
outlet
and
you
think
of
across
any
industry
sectors.
You
realize
how
many
meals
you'll
have
to
pump
out
or
how
many
flowers
you
have
to
sell
or
how
many
chocolate
bars
you
have
to
sell
just
to
cover
the
rent.
You
got.
J
B
C
I
I
C
I
C
Yes,
okay
and
you
mentioned
that
one
of
the
reasons
for
doing
that
is
that
we
or
that
businesses
are
being
taxed
on
gains
that
aren't
realized.
Now,
if
that's
the
case,
if,
if
the
the
argument
is
that
we
don't
want
to
be
taxed
on
gains
that
are
not
realized,
then
what's
the
problem
with
allowing
some
kind
of
a
deferral
tax
scheme
because
there
are
games
reality
is
when
do
we
tax
against
the.
I
C
I
I
E
I'm
I
understand
the
bottom
line,
which
is
the
cost
of
taxes,
is
becoming
way
too
hard
for
some
businesses
to
afford
or
many
businesses
there.
We
can
cap
the
tax
increase
at
ten
percent
or
we
could
cap
it
at
less
you're.
Looking
to
change
the
assessment,
the
way
properties
are
assessed
and
capped.
The
assessment
is
that.
I
E
E
I'm
not
sure
I'm
understanding
what
I'm
asking
either
well
the
same
boat.
Okay,
so
my
understanding
is,
we
can
cap
the
tax
increase
at
a
maximum
of
10%
or
less
correct.
The
property
went
from
a
valuation
of
1
million
to
a
valuation
of
10
million.
We
can
still
cap
the
tax
increase
as
if
it
was
valued,
a
million
dollars,
plus
a
10%
increase
in
those
tax.
Yes,
you
can,
even,
though
it's
valued
at
ten
million
dollars.
Yes,
you
could
do
that
you're.
Looking
for
us
to
cap
the
valuation
increase.
Am
I
correct
for.
J
Council
is
making
the
ultimate
decision
in
silver,
there's
a
tax
rate
that
they
apply
to
a
predictable
assessment,
we're
no
longer
trying
to
find
bandages
on
what
is
effectively
a
lobotomy
out
there
right
now
to
try
to
deal
with
the
situation.
Staff
is
capping
and
clawing
back
and
in
doing
all
those
calculations,
all
that
stuff
really
gets
simplified.
J
If
we
set
an
assessed
rate-
and
we
know
that
every
year,
if
your
assessment
goes
up
you're
only
going
to
go
up
by
a
certain
percentage
and
council
can
then
fill
together
their
budgetary
gap
by
an
assassin
or
a
mill
rate
that
you
apply
to
this
anyway.
But
that
gives
us
predictability.
This
year
you
went
ten
percent
next
year.
You
might
go
five
percent,
but
those
things
shift
across
the
city.
There
are
significant
booms
that
are
up
there,
so
the
biggest
challenge
staff
has
had
with
this
is
clawbacks.
J
A
Okay,
counselor
chana
shiner
you're
finished.
Thank
you
very
much.
Others
asking
questions
of
the
deputy,
all
right,
I!
Think
pregnant.
Yes,
of
course,
but
we'll
just
thank
the
deputies
for
their
attendance
in
for
answering
all
those
questions
and
for
all
your
ongoing
work.
You
are
a
very
valuable
source
of
information
and
input
for
us,
and
we
thank
you
for
that.
Thank.
A
H
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
through
you,
I,
wanted
to
invite
the
general
manager
for
economic
development
to
to
basically
give
his
his
thoughts
on
both
the
presentation
and
then
the
ongoing
complexities
and
the
challenges
that
are
being
faced
by
commercial
and
retail
businesses
in
this
city
and
has
been
stated
by
mr.
Carew
and
mr.
Mishkin
about
the
impact
and
of
the
assessment
that
takes
place
where
you
have
a
small
business
on
Main
Street
anywhere,
who
is
being
impacted
by
decisions
that
we
made
through
no
fault
of
their
own.
K
So
the
condo
boom
has
put
huge
pressures
along
all
our
retail
strips
in
and
near
the
downtown,
but
now
it's
stretching
outside
to
downtown.
So
it's
up
to
a
Glanton
north
of
Eglinton
west
on
a
lot
of
areas
so
because
the
land
value
has
gone
up
dramatically
than
those
properties,
every
four
years
are
reassessed
and
they
go
up
accordingly
as
well,
even
though
their
use
is
not
changing.
K
G
You,
mr.
mayor,
so
that's
a
great
description.
You
just
provided
executive
I.
Think
it's
a
good
synopsis
and
it's
clearly
what's
happening
on
the
streets
of
our
city.
I
can
give
you
multiple
examples
of
what
you
just
cited
in
the
young
against
an
area
and
young
Lawrence.
So
what's
happening,
would
you
say
these?
These
stores
are
also
just
sitting
there
vacant
because
of
this
of
what
you're
describing
they
just
have
baked
wares
vacancies
all
over
the
Main
streets
of
our
cities.
So.
K
So
at
the
same
time
as
we
have
this
booming
valuation
because
of
the
the
increasing
demand
for
condos
and
the
value
of
land
for
condos,
which
is
much
much
higher
than
for
any
other
use,
so
we
have
that
trend,
but
at
the
same
time
we
have
home-shopping,
which
is
taking
out
a
little
bit
of
business
or
a
lot
of
business,
and
if
the
retailer
isn't
moving
with
it,
then
it's
off
Warren
some
of
the
uses
which
are
more
commodity
like
things.
So
it's
becoming
a
challenge
for
all
retailers.
K
K
So
some
of
the
some
of
that
sometimes
is
due
to
the
landlord
starting
to
charge
rents
according
to
the
tax
basis,
and
they
can't
the
store
on
a
new
prospective
store
owner
can
move
in
we've
taken
away
the
vacant
you
know
rebate
so
that
that's
removed
in
an
incentive
to
keep
it
vacant
which
I
agree
with.
So
we're
now
left
with
trying
to
find
other
things.
K
Staff
have
to
studies
that
are
about
to
go
in
the
field,
to
take
a
look
at
all
of
these
trends
and
what
to
try
to
steal
out
that
and
then,
of
course,
in
some
of
your
air,
your
BIA
s.
We
have
dislocation
for
long
term
construction,
and
that
exacerbates
the
situation
so
and
there
are
very
few
short
term
actions
that
a
property
owner
can
take
in
those
situations.
So
I
think
it
is
incumbent
upon
the
city
to
find
some
solutions
and.
G
We're
seeing
nice
shops
that
were
once
there
replaced
with
I,
don't
want
to
be
critical,
but
like
fast
food
chains
that
are
all
over
the
basically
all
over
the
North
American
landscape,
they're,
replacing
the
lovely
little
bagel
shops
or
flower
shops,
or
you
know,
bakeries
are
now
being
replaced,
is
is
that
a
trend
you're
seeing
I've
seen
that
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton
in
the
last
six
months
to
a
year,
and
so
we're
losing
some
of
those
great
great
retails
iconic
retailers.
Actually,
that
have
been
there
for
decades.
Iii.
B
B
Is
there
anything
that
you
can
point
to
now
that
that's
getting
worse
or
it's
always
been
high,
and
we
have
to
face
that
reality
that
restaurants,
that
set
up
in
the
wrong
location
or
have
the
wrong
fare
or
aren't
servings
in
the
local
community
are
destined
to
fail
anyway,
regardless
of
our
tax
rates.
I
think.
K
The
comment
that
councillor
Robinson
was
making
was
that
restaurants
were
moving
in
and
displacing
other
users,
and
that
certainly
was
an
issue
that
we're
having
in
Parkdale
West
when
we
put
in
a
hold-
and
it's
been
an
issue
in
any
other
areas.
Restaurants,
especially
fast-food
restaurants,
often
have
higher
margins
and
can
afford
higher
taxes,
and
given
the
change
in
eating
habits
of
Torontonians,
they
rely
more
on
takeout
in
restaurant
food.
K
B
Many
of
these
small
plazas
it
seems
that
each
unit
is
individually
owned
and
they're
there
willing
to
rent
it
to
just
about
anybody
who
comes
along
and
then,
when
you
look
at
these
plazas,
there's
no
synergy
among
the
retail
among
the
food
offerings,
whether
it's
business
services
or
technology,
and
it's
just
a
total
mish
mosh
that
doesn't
make
any
sense
from
a
shopping
point
of
view
is
that
is
that
a
factor?
That's
come
across
your
desk.
It's.
K
K
A
D
D
A
H
H
You
had
Harley
Davidson,
you
had
a
number
of
other
businesses
in
that
little
pocket
on
the
north
east
side
and
overnight
the
assessment
dempke
impact
came
in
and
reassessed
the
values
for
those
property.
There's
many
of
those
businesses
closed
down
or
went
elsewhere.
It
became
a
real
disaster
for
many
of
those
retailers
and
so
on.
We
now
have
lots
of
condos
in
that
particular
site,
but
we've
lost
the
businesses,
we've
lost
employment
opportunities
there
and
so
on.
H
H
I,
don't
for
the
moment,
think
that
we're
all
we're
going
to
affect
what
changes
in
in
in
in
one
step,
it
is
going
to
obviously
take
some
time,
but
I
think
we
need
to
focus
the
attention
and
energy
on
this
particular
issues
now.
Otherwise,
we're
going
to
have
some
major
problems
beyond
what
we're
having
now
and
there
are
quite
significant
problems
when
you
find
most
small
medium-sized
enterprises
and
in
this
in
the
city
telling
you
that
their
sales
are
not
as
in
an
in
line
in
terms
of
where
they'd
like
to
see
it.
H
But
their
taxes
continue
to
go
up.
Their
rents
continue
to
go
up,
landlords
are
basing
our
rents
on
assessment
and
or
the
you
know,
high
sand
best
use
for
the
property,
and
so
it
creates
a
huge
problems,
whether
or
not
it's
at
Yonge
and
Eglinton
or
other
places
in
this
city.
And
so
it's
something
that
we
have
to
have
to
address.
H
I
know
that
I've
had
numerous
discussions
with
the
general
manager
of
Economic
Development,
as
well
as
with
the
folks
from
tabia
about
how
we
go
forward
on
this
and
I
know
that
they
always
have
some
ideas
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
take
those
ideas
seriously.
So
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
to
the
first
quarter
of
next
year,
if
I'm
back
here,
to
discuss
this
matter
further
and/or
to
see
the
recommendations
that
will
come
forward
in
in
dealing
with
this
particular
issue.
Mr.
H
G
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
I'll,
just
be
very
brief.
I
think
this
has
been
a
really
important
discussion,
a
great
discussion,
long
overdue
and
I'm
happy
to
see
staff
are
focused
on
this,
as
I
know,
they
always
have
been,
but,
as
we've
heard
from
our
staff
team,
as
well
as
from
Tavia
that
this
is
not
an
easy
not
to
crack.
It's
a
very
challenging
situation,
and
so
I
just
want
to
lend
my
support
to
it.
G
A
A
Think
it's
actually
quite
a
sensible
addition
to
what's
going
on
here
and
I
will
just
add
to
the
words
if
I
can
of
councillor
Robinson
when
she
says
it's
a
very
important
discussion.
It's
probably
and
I
often
say
this
in
my
own
talks
with
citizens
out
there
who
are
not
necessarily
business
people,
it's
the
most
important.
You
know
because
people
will
say
well
this
issue
or
that
issue
is
more
important.
But
if
we
don't
have
jobs
in
the
city,
we
don't
have
vital.
A
You
know
a
businesses,
big
and
small,
then
we
won't
be
able
to
pay
for
all
the
other
things
that
we're
trying
to
do,
whether
it's
building,
transit
or
looking
after
the
needs
of
people's
housing-
and
you
know
when
it
was
talked
about
earlier
on
by
I.
Forget
one
of
the
speakers
and
here
and
the
questions
that
you
know.
A
We've
had
some
byproducts
of
the
city's
great
success,
but
some
of
those
byproducts
have
been
negative,
such
as
the
crunch
on
affordable
housing,
which
we've
talked
about
today
and
we'll
kentuc
about
again
today,
a
transit
capacity
issues,
parkland
deficits.
There
are
a
number
of
negative
byproducts
and
one
of
them
has
been
the
push
up
in
these
values
that
have
made
it
very
difficult.
Then,
for
these
businesses
to
afford
their
rents
and
if
we
let
the
impact
on
jobs
continue
along
the
lines
of
what
councillor
Robinson
is
referring
to.
A
Then
that
starts
to
impact
on
the
vitality
of
neighborhoods.
It
starts
to
speak
to
the
question
of
the
vitality
of
business
generally
in
Toronto,
and
once
we
start
down
that
slope,
it's
a
very
difficult
one
to
come
back
from
in
the
context
of
the
economic
viability
to
the
city.
So
I
think
this
work
is,
you
know.
Well,
it
may
seem
obscure
to
a
lot
of
people
and
be
of
interest
principally
to
tax
lawyers,
and
people
like
that.
A
A
We
get
it
done
well
and
see
what
we
can
work
with
the
province
on
I
would
think
this
would
be
a
priority
item
for
the
new
government
of
Ontario
because
they
have
indicated
a
huge
focus
on
the
economy
and
on
strong
businesses
and
jobs,
and
so
I
think
this
would
be
a
natural
that
we
would
hopefully
get
their
cooperation
on.
So
if
there's
no
one
else,
that
wishes
to
speak
I'm
ready
to
call
the
question.
A
First,
on
this,
amendment,
I've
moved
to
incorporate
the
recommendation
of
council
Wong
Tam,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
then
the
item
as
amended.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
Carrie
next
is
36.4
and
36.4
was
held
down
by
councillor
Thompson.
It's
the
delegation
of
authority
for
the
remainder
of
the
2014-2018
council
term.
We
have
no
deputation
so
to
Jewish.
Ask
the
question
of
staffers,
but
no.
A
Right
officer,
Thompson
will
release
that
item.
If
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I
will
call
the
question
on
36.4,
which
involves
accepting
and
adopting
the
staff
recommendations
in
36.4
and
36.4,
a
all
those
that
live
do
those
separately
or
gonna.
Do
it
together
all
right
together.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
that
next
brings
us
to
item
36.7,
which
is
I'm.
Sorry,
oh,
we
did
727
so
I'm,
sorry
36
point
27
we
did
seven
right,
27
27
is
actually
next
and
then
45
comes
after
that
27
is
now
councillor.
A
Barlow
had
asked
me
to
hold
this
down
because
she's
gone
for
15
minutes,
so
we
councillor
Thompson
was
prescient
we're
gonna
move.
If
we
with
your
indulgence
to
45,
discuss,
councillor
viola
will
be
back
very
shortly
and
45
is
the
police
reference
check
program
and
that
was
held
down
by
bio.
We
have
a
deputed
on
that:
okay,
45
Miroslav
lavage
mr.
glass.
Yes,
your
turn,
sir.
Please
come
out.
C
Counselor,
thank
you.
The
one
issue
I
have
is
put
the
reference.
I
just
had
one
because
I
volunteer
for
Luminato
and
other
organizations
a
throughout
the
year
I'm,
not
speaking
for
any
of
the
any
of
their
any
stations,
a
lot
of
the
organizations
absorbed.
It
will
absorb
the
$20
in
many
organizations
like
TIFF
and
others
that
have
a
lot
of
hundreds
of
volunteers.
It
will
have
a
big
huge
amount
to
absorb
and
some
of
the
smaller.
C
A
A
A
Just
got
we
need
were
in
need
of
some
of
our
colleagues
to
return
to
the
room.
Well,
maybe
we
could
just
put
in
a
call
so
before
we
proceed
any
further
up.
There's
a
one,
two,
three,
four:
five:
six:
seven
we're
there:
okay,
yep
we're
good
counselor,
so
questions
of
staff
on
the
criminal
record
checks
process
accounts
there
Sierra.
C
C
A
I
C
C
We
did
move
that
there
would
be
three
four
yeah
four
four
city
for
when
there
was
a
city
request
and
and
some
free
ones
for
the
vulnerable
and
and
so
can
you
just
stop
day
me
on
that,
because
I
know
we
debated
at
one
time
and
I
can't
remember
exactly
what
we
did
and
on
that
particular
item
you're,
correct
councilor.
We
did
I
guess
how
a
discussion
around
who
those
fees
should
be
applicable
to
and
whether,
in
fact.
F
F
C
A
Counselor
other
questions
of
mr.
Veneziano
or
other
staff
members.
Okay,
those
wishing
to
speak
okay,
you're,
not
waiting.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
then.
If
there's
no
one
needing
to
speak,
we
would
simply
then
ask
for
someone
to
move
the
Police
Services
Board
recommendation
that
the
fee
be
established
at
$20,
effective,
November,
1st
2018.
Is
there
a
mover
for
that
counselor
Giorgio?
All
those
in
favor
opposed
character.
D
A
27
we're
coming
back
to
27
we're
just
trying
to
avoid
doing
that
until
a
counselor,
definitely
mirabile.
Oh,
she
said
minutes
which
should
be
a
vote
now,
but
soon
so
we're
at
20
we're
at
15.
It
was
held
down
by
councilor
Pasternak
councillor
Pasternak
item
50,
the
brach
new,
affordable
housing
item.
You
had
held
that
day.
B
Yes,
no
I'd
like
to
release
it.
I've
spoken
with
the
local
councillor.
We
have
clarity.
My
only
question
was
regarding
there
was
no.
There
were
no
confidential
attachments,
usually
that's
a
standard
for
a
property,
but
we're
still
in
the
negotiation
stage.
It
has
to
come
back
to
Council
and
government
management
for
approval.
So
I've
got
clarity
on
that,
so
it
can
go
all.
A
Right
councillor
Pasternak's
releasing
his
hold
so
that
if
there's
someone
wishing
to
move
the
the
recommendation
of
the
affordable
housing
office
on
this
moved
by
Councillor
pasternak,
all
those
in
favor,
what
was
carried?
Could
we,
madam
clerk,
just
check
on
and
I
know,
councillor
pilot
said
mr.
Robertson
is
checking
just
on,
because
I
promised
her,
we
wouldn't
a.
We
could
start
it
I
suppose
if
she
was
coming
back
in
five
minutes
just
so
that
we
can
keep
moving.
C
A
H
H
We
indicated
that
we're
going
to
approve
that
which
is
to
receive
for
information
and
that
the
discussion
as
it
relates
to
the
emergency
motion
that
was
move
that
we'll
be
able
to
discuss
that
at
Council,
which
would
incorporate
all
things
relating
to
policing,
including
obviously,
the
action
plan
which
is
part
of
the
transformational
work.
That's
being
done
is
that
yes,.
A
Restate
I
think
if
you
look
at
the
council
direction
to
ask
that
the
emergency
meeting
be
convened
by
the
city
manager
with
the
police
right
that,
if
you
look
at
the
basis
upon
which
that
was
convened,
it
I
think
I
think
the
speaker
would
be
highly
likely
and
the
clerk
to
advise
us
that
it's
in
order
to
ask
all
of
those
questions,
because
they're
relevant
in
one
way
or
another
to
what
was
discussed
so
I,
don't
see
any
problem
with
that.
Right
right
is
coming.
A
That
report
has
yet
I
guess:
has
it
been
published
yet
or
isn't
about
to
be
for
councils?
No
chatter,
yes
placeholder!
So
the
report
itself
hasn't
been
published
and
we
have
confirmation
by
the
way
from
the
GP
will
come
to
the
council
meeting
as
well.
So
we'll
time
it
in
such
ways
to
convenience
him
and
yourself
and
others,
and
but
he
says,
he's
gonna
he's
happy
to
come.
I
think
we'll
I'm
sure
we'll
be
able
to
okay,
broad.
A
Just
trying
to
bow
then
and
the
deputy
mayor
Barlow
is
back,
and
so,
as
promised,
we
I
know
that
you
were
a
councillor.
Nunziata
is
having
you
move,
emotion
on
her
behalf,
but
I
didn't
know.
If
there
are
other
reasons
why
you
wanted
to
hold
this
item
down,
but
we'll
just
start,
then,
are
there
questions
of
staff
on
item
36
point
27?
C
C
That
motion
is
that
the
attachment
the
letter
from
the
residents
association
would
be
incorporated
in
when
it
goes
through
the
planning
process
and
the
planning
department
has
a
copy
of
the
recommendations
as
well,
and
everybody
agrees
on
it.
Sean
agrees
on
it.
We
all
agree
on
it.
So
basically
that's
what
money
thank.
A
C
I'd
like
to
speak
quickly
to
this
I
do
support
the
report.
I
do
support
the
whole
idea
of
increasing
affordable
housing
in
the
city,
but
I
just
want
to
bring
a
bit
of
caution
to
this
report
and
I'll
give
the
example
of
development.
In
my
area,
a
TDL
Avenue
that
is
part
of
the
recommend
I
think,
is
a
116
units
of
affordable
housing
out
of
the
606.
C
We
sold
this
piece
of
built,
Renault
transferred
and
sold
this
piece
of
property
a
number
of
years
ago
in
my
ward,
and
it
was
sold
under
the
direction
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
low-rise
residential,
stacked,
townhouse
complex,
it's
in
a
very
landlocked
small
little
part
of
my
ward
as
anyway,
we
sold
it.
With
that
expectation,
we
got
the
application
from
this
developer.
C
One
do
27
story,
high-rise
development,
so
far
beyond
what
we
had
anticipated
and
expected,
but
again
they
had
that
opportunity
to
put
in
an
application
for
a
27
story
and
go
through
the
process
of
getting
being
awarded
the
the
funding
for
affordable
housing.
I've
spoken
with
our
planning
staff.
There's
no
way
this
27
story
building
is
going
to
be
happening
at
all.
C
In
fact,
I'm
sort
of
I
don't
even
know
whether
or
not
this
whole
development
will
actually
take
place
as
we
move
forward
into
the
future,
as
community
council
is
pretty
much
diverted
for
a
period
of
time,
but
it's
just
again
just
we
need
to
delineate
between
what
we're
doing
here
on
trying
to
support
affordable
housing,
but
also
understanding
that
there
is
a
planning
process.
That's
happen.
When
you
read
this
report,
it
sounds
as
if
this
is
great
we're
gonna
be
getting
an
extra
hundred
and
sixteen
units
of
affordable
housing
on
this
particular
day.
C
I'll
have-
and
you
say,
that's
not
a
guarantee
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that,
even
though
we
do
support
this,
that
some
of
these
other
developments
has
to
go
through,
the
planning
process
may
not
actually
happen,
may
not
materialize,
and
we
may
have
to
look
at
potentially
awarding
other
sites
as
we
move
down
into
the
future.
Thank
you.
A
Thanks,
council,
Crawford
I
think
the
good
news
is.
We
have
lots
of
people
wanting
to
build,
affordable
housing,
so
we'll
see
how
that
one
unfolds
on
terms
of
the
planning
process,
but
there
are
others
want
who
want
to
do
this
as
well,
so
hopefully
that
one
will
happen.
But
if
not,
there
are
others.
Councillor,
Barlow
Deputy,
Mayor,
Ella,
Thank,.
D
You
mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
table
demotion
on
behalf
of
counselor
Nunziata
and
follow
up
on
your
comments,
acknowledging
the
words
of
counselor
Crawford
by
saying
that,
yes,
there
is
some
planning
questions
around
this
specific
project
and
we
we
moved
some
motions
to
ensure
the
community
that
there
is
a
planning
process
still
in
place
for
this
specific
application.
I
think
this
would
be
the
only
one
that
is
still
far
behind
I.
Think
most
of
the
other
projects
are
well
advanced,
I
mean
council,
newsy
ATA's
project
is
another
one.
D
But
it's
far
it's
it's
far
less
than
what
actually
the
city
needs,
so
I'm,
actually
looking
forward
to
the
discussions
for
the
next-gen
plan,
I
think
we're
all
gearing
up
to
have
a
plan
that
is
much
more
aggressive
and
much
more
in
tune
with
what
the
city
needs
on
the
housing
strategy,
but
I
think
that
we've
moved
forward
on
this
on
these
targets.
I
think
that
all
different
departments
that
can
contribute
to
getting
these
targets
met
have
embraced
this
target.
D
These
numbers
is
because
we,
as
a
city
both
on
the
political
side
and
on
the
public
side,
have
embraced
the
goal
and
and
and
owned
up
to
to
the
goal
of
having
over
a
thousand
units
approved
so
I'm,
hoping
that
when
the
new
targets
come
in
will
embrace
it
with
the
same
enthusiastic
in
the
same
enthusiastic
way,
and
that
we
can
build
a
much
much
needed,
affordable
housing
that
we
need
in
our
city
to
continue
to
attract
talent.
To
continue
to
have
young
families
living
in
the
city.
E
As
I
was
out
of
the
room
for
a
moment,
councillor
Crawford,
you
were
talking
about
80
dale's
and
the
problems
that
we're
having
on
that
one.
So
I
two
sides
to
this
I
would
just
comment.
It's
very
unfortunate
that
the
bill
Toronto
site
that
my
colleague
councillor
Crawford,
has
now
is
causing
some
anxieties
in
as
much
as
it
shouldn't.
E
It
was
you
and
I
that
talked
about
this
three
years.
Oh
and
a
half
years
ago,
when
I
was
on
the
Billboard
and
the
question
I
put
for
it
as
well.
Do
you
just
want
to
give
land
to
to
help
with
affordable
housing,
because
you
can
always
give
land
and
it'll
lower
the
price,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
of
their
home
ownership,
those
houses
go
back
out
at
market
price
later.
E
E
A
Thank
You
councillor
anybody
else
willing
to
wishing
to
speak.
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
and
and
to
Sean
and
and
his
team
I.
Think.
If
you
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
this
term,
where
you
had,
you
know
people
making
efforts,
but
the
bottom
line
was.
A
Her
passion
for
this
has
been
I,
think
you
know
hugely
responsible
as
well
and
that
that
of
the
members
of
the
Affordable
Housing
Committee
for
moving
this
forward
and
I
think
we've
been
helped
and
I
guess,
there's
some.
You
know
some
defense
we
might
have
to
play
here,
but
I
think
we've
been
helped
by
the
fact
that
we
had
come
on
board
and
back
into
the
housing
business.
At
that
time.
The
two
other
governments
and
the
the
federal
government
of
course
came
back
on
board
with
the
National
Housing,
Strategy
and
I.
A
Think
deputy
mayor
viola
was
pointing
out
earlier
on
some
of
the
specific
measures
of
that.
Most
of
them,
in
fact,
will
really
not
have
any
significant
impact
until
next
year,
but
I
think
that
it
is.
These
are
hard-fought
in
the
context
of
the
discussions
that
have
been
going
on.
You
know
with
that
government
for
many
years
by
by
our
predecessors
here
the
province
again,
some
progress
was
made
there
and
some
of
that
progress
was
made
by
virtue
of
the
federal
national
housing
strategy
and
their
need
to
sign
on
to
it
and
I.
A
Think
that's
an
area
where
we're
gonna
have
to
make
sure
those
gains
are
consolidated
and
maintained
and
I
think
I.
Think
again,
as
sort
of
on
the
same
optimistic
note
that
I
sounded
earlier
on.
With
regard
to
the
changes
to
taxation
and
assessment,
this
is
an
issue,
that's
very
much
about
the
health
of
the
economy.
A
Well,
fine
I'll
go
to
downtown
Toronto
and
take
transit
there,
and
we
want
I
said
that's
the
economic
argument.
The
social
argument
is
simply
the
fact
that
we
want
the
city
to
include
people
from
all
walks
of
life,
all
income
groups
all
manner
of
people
to
live
in
the
city,
and
so
that
is
really
what
makes
for
both
the
economic
reason
and
the
inclusion,
inclusion.
A
The
very
small
businesses
we
are
talking
about
and
their
owners
and
their
employees
are
some
of
the
very
people
we're
talking
about
who
find
it
increasingly
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
to
find
decent
rental
accommodation
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
At
this
juncture-
and
that
is
another
byproduct
of
the
success
of
the
city,
you
know
in
on
the
one
hand,
but
it
is
a
problem
that
stands
in
front
of
us
on
the
other,
and
so
I
will
just
say
again.
A
Looking
forward
to
that,
but
I'm
very
enthused
about
today
and
the
fact
we're
able
to
make
this
much
progress
in
2018.
So
thank
you
to
all
involved.
So
on
that
note,
if
there
are
no
others
wishing
to
speak,
I
think
there
is
the
one
motion
that
is
up
on
your
screen,
which
is
the
motion
from
deputy
mayor
below
on
behalf
of
councillor
Nancy,
Atta
and
I'll.
A
Well
notwithstanding
the
comment
about
this
meeting
being
an
example
that
should
have
been
said
earlier
in
terms
of
our
timing,
I
think
we
tried
to
do
the
business
efficiently
and
and
yet
spend
the
time
we
had
to
spend
listening
to
each
other
and
listening
to
our
constituents
as
well
and
I.
Think
the
discussions
here
were
generally
and
almost
without
exception.
Very
thoughtful
and
very
conducted
in
a
very
responsible
manner
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
for
that
and
I
hope.
A
Those
who
wish
to
be
back
here
will
be
back
but
I
guess
that's
up
to
the
voters
to
decide
all
that,
because
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
going
for
it,
but
this
I
think
has
been
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
as
well
to
the
executive
committee
staff
from
the
clerk's
office.
We
had
a
changeover
in
midterm,
but
Josephine.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
all
of
your
colleagues.
