1. City Council restore the 311 Toronto email service in 2012 at a cost of $0.129 million to be funded from savings to be generated from the TDSB Pools Agreement and that the necessary funding be transferred from the Parks, Forestry and Recreation's 2012 Operating Budget to 311 Toronto's 2012 Operating Budget for this purpose.

Origin
Summary
This report seeks to clarify Council's intent regarding a number of motions that were approved by Council during its deliberation of the 2012 Operating Budget for which the intended purposes of the appropriated funds and the approved restored funding do not match the budgetary information outlined in the 2012 Operating Budget and has resulted in ambiguity regarding Council's intent, evidenced by subsequent Councillor communications requesting the restoration of further service changes, including a new service expansion.
In order to avoid this situation during the deliberation of future budgets, staff from City Clerks, Legal, the City Manager and the CFO will review options that will ensure clarity of Council's intent of motions approved during its budget deliberations while respecting the right of Councillors to introduce motions as they deem appropriate.
This report also responds to Council's directive for the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to identify a funding source to restore the 311 Toronto email channel service.
