Origin
Summary
In response to the extreme winter storm event that occurred in the evening of December 21, 2013 through December 22, 2013, a Special City Council meeting was held on January 10 and 13, 2014, at which time a number of resolutions were adopted following Council's consideration of the City Manager's report entitled Impacts from the December 2013 Extreme Winter Storm Event on the City of Toronto (CC46.1).
Amongst the many resolutions adopted by City Council, was a request to seek financial assistance from the Federal and Provincial governments and for the City Manager to report back to the Executive Committee on the "terms of reference, scope and membership for a City led comprehensive review and for the Toronto Hydro Third Party Independent Panel".
The purpose of this report is to update and inform Council regarding:
- the recent Provincial announcement of a one-time Ice Storm Assistance Program;
- scope and structure of the City led comprehensive review of the December 2013 extreme winter storm event; and
- scope and membership of Toronto Hydro's Independent Review Panel.
This report also recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to take any required action to enable the receipt of funds through the Ice Storm Assistance Program.
The City Manager will report back to the July 2, 2014 meeting of the Executive Committee on the outcomes of the comprehensive reviews undertaken by the City and Toronto Hydro. The report will include recommendations and necessary next steps to improve the management and response to future emergencies.
