B
It

you
with
your

I
would
like
to
remind

muted
and
their

turned
off
unless
they
need
to
answer
questions

they
wish

I
will
then
create
a

will
call

turn
to

B
B
If

today,
and
I
did
hear
councillor

welcome,
I
encourage
you
to
turn
on
your

so
that
I
know
you're
present
and
can
give
you
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
of
staff
or
speak.
This
will
also
assist
the
clerk
staff
to
record
attendance
for
the
meeting.
B
We
also
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
toronto
is
covered
by
treaty

with
the
mississaugas
of

At
this
point,
I'm
going

ask
if
there's
any

of
interest
under
the
municipal

act.
If
you
do
have
an
interest,
if
you
could,
please

I
need

transaction

yorkville
avenue
it
has
a
confidential
attachment.
I
do
have
some
questions
on
that
one,
so
I'm
going
to
hold
that
one
down
in
my
name,
mr.
G
C
G
B
Okay,
so
matthew
we're
more
than
likely
going
in
camera
number
10
and
12
we'll
do
that
at
the
the
end
of
the
meeting,
we'll
hold
those
two
items
for
last
okay,
so
we
have
our
first.
Two
items
are
for
9.45,
which
is
in
five
minutes.
So
I'm
going
to
start
item
number
three
status
of
outstanding
payments
in
lieu
of
tax
amounts
for
federal,
provincial
municipal
properties.
G
A
very
broad
question:
I
had
trouble
frankly
understanding
the
report,
so
if
staff
could
very
briefly
take
us
through
it,
I'm
just
not
totally
clear
on
who
owes
us
money
and
and
why
I
did
see
the
chart,
but
I'm
not
clear,
for
example,
whether
it's
cbc
owes
this
money
or
the
federal
government
owes
this
money.
And
how
did
that
happen
and
are
we
trying
to
collect
it,
and
it
just
wasn't
totally
clear
to
me.
H
H
H
If
you
look
at
the
report
itself,
it
suggests
that
the
level
of
payments
in
lieu
outstanding
are
approximately
equal
to
where
they
were
last
year
and
the
amounts
outstanding
vary
by
level
of
government,
and
that
is
that
is
evident
from
the
table
in
the
report
table.
One
in
the
report
shows
the
level
of
payments
in
lieu
outstanding
and
the
detail
is
provided
in
attachment
one
to
the
report,
and
so
you
are
correct.
Council
philly
on
in
your
question.
H
In
terms
of
federal
properties,
the
largest
amount
outstanding
by
far
is
the
cbc
property
and
with
with
approximately
8.3
million
outstanding
in
payments
in
luke.
The
reason
there
is
the
value
for
canadian
broadcasting
corporation
headquarters
at
the
corner
of
boynton
and
john
has
been
under
dispute
with
mpac
for
a
good
number
of
years
between
impact,
the
city
and
the
cbc,
and
so
the
cdc
has
been
making
payments
based
on
what
they
believe
the
value
should
be
and
the
amount
that
is
shown
as
the
receivable
is.
H
The
amount
that's
reflected
by
the
impact
assessment
for
that
property,
the
the
actual
amount
of
tilts
payable,
is
somewhere
in
between
those
two
amounts,
and
I
can
report
that
we
have
now
in
fact
received
confirmation
of
an
agreement
with
mpac
cdc
and
the
city
of
toronto
that
will
see
the
value
reduced
and
therefore
the
outstanding
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes
reduced
so
that
amount.
It
is
a
question
of
timing
and
it
was
a
question
of
solving
solving
the
assessment
dispute
on
the
provincial
pelt,
which
is
table
two
in
in
attachment.
H
One
are
you
with
me?
You
will
see
the
largest
by
far
outstanding
amount
is
infrastructure
ontario,
which
is
the
the
provincial
government,
and
these
relate
to
the
long-standing
settlement
of
of
west
homelands
properties.
Again
assessment
appeals
that
have
now
been
resolved,
but
the
the
actual
adjustments
to
the
payments
in
lieu
of
taxes
has
not
taken
place
yet.
H
G
H
Yes,
in
the
case
of
a
crown
corporations
like
cbc,
it
is
in
fact
the
cdc
that
owes
us
the
money
in.
In
the
provincial
case,
any
provincial
property
that
is
leased
by
a
government
ministry
is
is
generally
handled
by
infrastructure
ontario,
so
they
would
be
the
ones
responsible
to
pay
the
taxes
and
the
same
thing
with
federal
properties
where
there
are
federal
government
institutions
or
government
offices,
those
are
paid
by
public
works
and
government
services,
canada.
G
H
H
If
you
look
at
the
page
for
municipal
payments
in
lewell's
payments
in
lieu
that
are
outstanding,
they're
smallish
amounts
and
they
generally
relate
to
properties,
in
some
cases,
parks,
forestry,
rec,
in
some
cases
the
toronto
parking
authority.
But
in
a
lot
of
those
cases,
those
will
resolve
themselves
over
time
once
we
figure
out
who
didn't
pay
the
bill
or
why
they
didn't
pay
the
bill.
In
some
cases,
there's
been
transfers
of
property
between
one
department
or
one
division
and
another.
F
Yeah-
and
it's
maybe
something
rather
simple-
I
just
wondered
if
it
was
possible
between
milan
council
to
get
a
list
of
the
outstanding
properties
and
if
something
like
west
dawn
lands.
If
it's
complicated
right,
you
know
a
whole
bunch
of
blocks
or
addresses
just
just
to
know.
It's
west
dawn
lands,
because
I
couldn't
tell
that
from
the
chart
where
the
places
were.
They
were
just
kind
of
general
categories,
and
I
wondered
if
staff
could
just
agree
to
an
undertaking.
H
Through
you,
mr
chair,
and
and
thank
you
councillor
holiday,
yes,
we
in
fact
can
absolutely
do
that.
That's
a
that's
an
easy
request
to
fulfill
and
in
the
case
of
the
west,
on
lands,
as
you
might
expect,
there
are
multiple
properties
that
are
involved
that
have
had
appeals
on
them
for
a
period
of
time,
but
we
do
have
that
backup
information,
we're
happy
to
send
it
to
you.
A
B
Okay,
so
you
move
the
recommendations.
Sure
receipt,
okay,
counselor
philly,
is
moving
the
recommendations
on
number
three
all
in
favor
carried
are
so
at
this
point.
It's
9
49,
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
item
number
one,
which
is
a
scheduled
hearing,
apportionment
of
property
taxes
as
of
november
2nd
2020
hearing
it's
a
statutory
meeting.
There's
no
speakers
on
this
item.
B
A
B
The
recommendation
number
one
be
amended
to
read
as
follows:
the
general
government
licensing
committee
approved
the
individual
tax
appeal
applications
may,
pursuant
to
section
323
of
the
city
of
toronto
act
2006,
resulting
in
tax
reductions,
excluding
phased
in
and
capping
amounts
identified.
In
the
detailed
hearing
report
marked
as
appendix
a
to
the
report
october,
19
2020
from
the
controller
excluding
the
following
applications:
ward
10
appeal,
number
20200594
and
the
property
address
is
known
as
two
mugs
island
parkway.
B
Anybody
have
any
questions
of
the
mover
saying
none
all
in
favor
of
the
amendment
carried
all
in
favor
of
the
item,
as
amended
carried.
Thank
you
very
much.
Our
next
item
is
number
five
non-competitive
procurement
activities.
It's
a
2019
annual
report
and
this
was
held
by
councilor
holliday
councilor
holiday.
Do
you
have
questions
of
staff.
F
Yeah
thanks
mr
chair:
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
reverse
the
order.
I
I
I
was
going
to
have
some
general
questions,
but
I
want
to
ask
a
specific
one.
First,
the
report
alludes
to
a
bit
of
a
process
and
I
think
it's
a
risk-based
process
that
pmmd
uses
to
look
at
non-competitive
procurements
across
the
board,
and
I
wondered
if
staff
could
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
that
process,
how
it
works.
How
many
reviews
there's
done
how
things
are
selected?
E
E
Is
we
run
the
data
to
identify
anything
unusual
or
any?
If
there
looks
like
a
repeated
use
of
particular
vendors
or
if
there's
information
in
the
data
that
just
suggests
that
there's
not
enough
information,
we
run
it
run
a
process
to
kind
of
identify
which
division
should
be
targeted
for
initial
review,
and
then
we
do
a
sampling
of
items
to
kind
of
understand.
Did
they
follow
the
process?
E
Which
was
came
out
of
a
an
audit
from
the
auditor
general
and
we
had
not
had
a
chance
to
do
an
audit
or
very
much
audit
on
2019,
because
by
the
time
2020
hits.
We
have
unfortunately,
were
redirected
to
focus
on
responding
to
cobid.
So
we're
trying
to
restart
that
now
to
go
and
analyze
some
of
the
divisions
with
respect
to
any
anomalies
in
in
their
data.
F
We
don't
talk
about
over
half
a
million
dollars
because
that
goes
to
council,
but
who
inside
the
toronto
public
service,
has
the
decision
and
who
scrutinizes
each
time
that
there's
a
non-competitive
procurement.
The
report
talks
about
a
form
forms
are
great,
but
somebody
has
to
make
a
business
decision
and
sign
off
on
these
things.
Could
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
I
think
the
committee
should
understand
that
process
that
leads
to
this
type
of
a
report.
E
E
The
form
is
first
sent
before
it
gets
sign
off
from
the
division
we
actually
review
it.
Ask
follow-up
questions,
ensure
that
the
the
backup
documentation
is
there
and
then
that
review
process
actually
goes
through
a
manager
and
through
myself
before
then
it
is
go
sent
back
to
the
division
for
review
by
the
appropriate
signing
authorities
there,
and
that
is
often
includes
the
division
head
and
in
some
cases,
if
it's
like,
for
example,
for
consulting
it
may
also
have
to
go
to
the
city
manager
for
under
for
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars.
E
E
Through
the
chair,
that
would
depend
on
the
circumstances.
There
are
some
that
would
some
circumstances.
That
would
definitely
be
annoying
like
you
could
actually
have
a
competitive
process,
additional
work
to
come
along
and
that
would
actually
be
considered
a
non-competitive
add-on,
and
some
of
it
is
actually
within
this
of
the
of
the
agreement.
So
it
it
really
is
dependent
upon
the
circumstances,
and
we
have
to
look
at
the
facts
at
hand.
F
B
All
right,
counselor
holidays,
moving
the
recommendations
in
number
five
non-competitive
procurement
activities,
the
2019
annual
report,
all
in
favor
carried.
Thank
you
everyone.
Our
next
item
is
number
10
proposed
sale
of
surplus
city-owned
public
land
known
as
brigton
place.
I
was
held
by
councillor
philian
councillor.
Did
you
have
questions
you
wanted
to
try
in
public
first
or.
G
B
Okay,
so
counselor
philly
and
we'll
help
hold
this
item
down
until
we
go
on
camera.
Yes,
thanks.
Okay,
all
right!
So
we're
going
to
hold
down
number
10.
we're
going
to
move
on
to
number
12.
transaction
update
of
city
owned,
50,
cumberland
street
and
37
yorkville
avenue.
It's
municipal
car
park
number
15.,
which
is
ward
11.
C
D
A
A
K
K
C
K
C
K
A
I
Yes,
great
so
myself
and
go
ahead
so
myself
and
sue
kim
lee
have
been
the
representatives
from
city
legal
who
have
been
dealing
with
this
matter.
To
answer
your
question,
what
happened
is
in
march
the
insolvency
proceeding
commenced
and
the
bankruptcy
receiver
on
behalf
of
a
crestford
subsidiary,
which
is
the
owner
of
the
above
grade
parcel
of
property
they
put
out
to
the
market
requests
for
opponents
to
purchase
the
parcel
formerly
owned
by
crestford,
so
the
city,
the
city,
owns
this.
I
The
the
substrata
land
and
the
receivership
concerns
the
the
of
the
the
above
ground
lands
that
were
formerly
owned
by
by
the
crestford
subsidiary.
The
that
that
process
of
the
receiver,
trying
to
find
a
new
purchaser
for
the
above
ground
lands
took
place
over
the
summer
the
receiver
received,
I
believe,
two
bids
and
selected
one
as
the
bid
that
they
wish
to
advance
and
seek
court
approval
for
to
purchase
the
the
above
ground
portion.
I
D
C

C
C

And
then
I
want
to
know
how
many
affordable
units,
where
this
is
a
hundred
a
hundred
stories
when
you
put
the
40
stories
and
the
60
stories
together
on
this
site
and
how
much
affordable
housing
was
included
in
those
negotiations.
But
I
think
we
want
to
know
a
lot
of
money
amounts
of,
including
about
the
garage.
Thank
you.

So
the
the
roughly
70
odd
million
that
was
referred
to
earlier
excluded
the
32
million
value
for
the
garage.
So
you
know
the
in
this
particular
real
estate
transaction
involved.
You
know
a
very
large
dividend
as
a
part
of
the
of
the
structure,
including
receiving
a
garage
as
part
of
the
deal
and
rather
than
receiving
affordable
housing
units.
Instead,
a
dividend
was
generated
and
distributed
to
the
city
to
determine
how
to
use
the
funds.

And
so
how
does
so
it's
almost
eight
years
later
now?
How?
How
does
the
toronto
parking
authority,
like
you,
consult
with
the
city
planning
department
on
whether
or
not
an
800
unit
garage
is
actually
still
something
that
can
is
practical
in
this
day
and
age
that
you
have
a
business
case
that
you
think
an
800
car
garage
is
going
to
be
well
used
in
the
downtown
cores?
People
are
more,
people
are
using
public
transit
and
biking
and.

Okay,
I'm
moving
that
the
general
government
licensing
committee
recessed
its
public
session
and
meet
in
closed
session
to
consider
gl
17.10
for
closed
sale
of
surplus,
city-owned
public
land,
known
as
brighton
place
in
ward
13..
The
reason
for
the
confidential
information
is
the
security
of
the
property
of
the
municipality
or
a
local
board.
All
in
favor.
A
A
B
reason
for
the
confidential
session
is
information
about
the
terms
of
a
proposed
commercial
transaction
and
legal
advice
from
the
city
solicitor
relating
to
the
proposed
transaction
and
potential
litigation
all
in
favor
carried,
so
we're
going
to
be
going
in
camera
so
any
to
any
members
of
the
public
watching
we're
going
in
cameras.
So
the
youtube
feed
will
be
shutting
down
until
we
come
back
into
public
and
any
staff,
both
counselors
and
city
staff.

And
the
amounts
were
based
on
the
20
2015
amount,
because
altus
is
the
was
the
cost
consultant
and
we're
getting
those
amounts
updated
because
the
2012
deal
the
original
deal.
It
contemplates
110
value
of
lc
to
secure
the
cost
of
completion
for
the
garage.
So
all
just
so
before
this
deal
can
go
through.

Because
it
seems
like
some
of
your
questions
are
asking
sort
of
what's
possible
in
the
context
of
the
receivership.
So,
generally
speaking
in
the
context
of
a
receivership,
the
receiver
and
the
court
recognizes
and
will
deal
with
existing
legal
rights
that
are
locked
down
and
frozen
as
of
the
receivership.

And
then
the
purpose
of
these
monthly
rental
payments,
the
monthly
lost
revenue
payments
that
are
being
paid
by
the
developer.
These
were
intended
and
structured
to
compensate
for
the
loss
of
the
use
of
the
demolished
garage
in
the
period
of
time
after
it
was
demolished
and
brought
back
into
service.

Substantial
delay
the
project
or
to
significantly
change
the
financing
to
either
party
at
some
point,
the
receiver
and
the
various
council
for
the
the
mortgagees
or
the
parties
who
initiated
this
receivership.
At
some
point
they
could
say:
we've
exhausted
our
patients
and
seeking
your
consent,
we're
just
going
to
do
it
for
your
objection.
