Recommendations
The General Manager of Children’s Services and the Director of Purchasing and Materials Management recommend that:
1. Children's Services transfer ownership of current City owned specialized equipment, with a current value estimated value between $2,300.00 and $3,500.00, to Community Living Toronto at no cost, for use in community to child care programs across Toronto.
2. The General Manager of Children’s Services be delegated authority to execute an agreement on behalf of the City with Community Living Toronto for the transfer of such equipment and such agreement be on terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
Summary
Children’s Services equipment for children with special needs has been used in recent years, exclusively in municipal child care programs. Community Living Toronto is establishing a centralized city-wide "bank" of equipment that can be accessed by all licensed child care programs.
This new centralized bank will far exceed current city resources and will be professionally maintained and enhanced each year. Children’s Services would like to contribute City owned equipment to the centralized bank which will increase the inventory of equipment available to child care programs and in turn give city staff access to an extensive catalogue of equipment.
