This report transmits to Budget Committee the recommended 2019 Operating Budget for the Auditor General's Office.

 

The Auditor General's report (Attachment 1) provides information to the Budget Committee on her Office's 2019 Operating Budget request. The report supplements the budget notes (Attachment 2) being submitted to the Budget Committee for consideration during its deliberation on the City's 2019 budget, which launches on January 28, 2019.

 

Chapter 3 of the Toronto Municipal Code states that "The Auditor General shall submit his or her annual budget request to the Audit Committee for consideration and recommendation to Council".

 

In normal circumstances, the budget of the Auditor General’s Office would be considered by the Audit Committee in October, prior to its submission to the Budget Committee. Due to the election and the compressed budget process time frame, this was not possible.

 

The Audit Committee will consider the Auditor General's report and 2019 Operating Budget request at its meeting on February 22, 2019. The Audit Committee will submit its recommendation regarding the Auditor General's 2019 Operating Budget to Council through Executive Committee at its meeting on March 4, 2019, so that the recommendations from both the Budget Committee and the Audit Committee are before the Executive Committee at the same time.

 

This approach is consistent with the past practice taken following the 2014 election. The current Budget Chief and the former Chair of the Audit Committee have been updated on the approach being taken this year.

4i - Toronto's Participatory Budgeting Pilot Evaluation

Origin
(January 31, 2019) Report from the City Manager
Summary

This report summarizes the findings from Toronto's 2015 to 2017 participatory budgeting pilot. The City of Toronto piloted participatory budgeting in the former Ward 33 and the Neighbourhood Improvement Areas of Oakridge in the former Ward 35, and Rustic in the former Ward 12. The findings from the pilot suggest that participatory budgeting may be an appropriate method of public participation under certain conditions, but has limitations and should be understood within the City's broader objectives and civic engagement strategy.

 

Many people use the term "participatory budgeting" to describe a wide range of civic engagement methods related to budgets, such as consultations, online budget guides and calculators, or public deputations or hearings.

 

However, participatory budgeting is distinct from other budget consultations and specifically refers to a method that invites the public to propose ideas, vote and have the final say on how a portion of a government's budget will be allocated.

 

The Pilot evaluation, along with research on participatory budgeting in other jurisdictions, found that:

 

- Residents seek and value clear information and ongoing opportunities to be more involved in decisions which affect their neighbourhoods, including local improvements and infrastructure planning;


- The public would like more opportunities to speak directly with City staff on a wide range of issues that are important to them, and appreciate engagement processes which include ways for them meet their neighbours, local groups and their Councillor; and


- Participatory budgeting supports specific types of decisions and can benefit communities, but has limited reach, is resource-intensive and can result in frustration, divisions within communities and a mismatch of investments against broader community needs.

 
Staff will share the feedback, templates, materials, and evaluation reports developed during the Pilot with City Councillors, City Divisions and community partners who may choose to host a participatory budgeting process or use participatory budgeting in their work.

 

The City Manager's Office will continue to review the City's civic engagement strategies to support decision making using a mix of appropriate engagement methodologies to involve and engage more residents on more issues than might be possible through participatory budgeting alone, including in capital infrastructure or local improvement decisions.

 

This report includes information on potential operating and capital costs, should City Council wish to consider implementing participatory budgeting more broadly in the future.

 

The full Participatory Budgeting Pilot evaluation report is available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/participatory-budgeting/ and data from participant surveys and community improvement ideas suggested by residents can be found in the City's Open Data Catalogue https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/open-data/open-data-catalogue/.

4r - Investments in Culture

Origin
(February 1, 2019) Report from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture
Summary

In 2018, the City of Toronto reached its longstanding target of directly investing $25 per capita in culture (including the arts, film and entertainment industries, and museums and heritage). The 2018 per capita is calculated using Statistics Canada's census population of 2.7 million people in 2016. This target was first established as part of the Culture Plan for the Creative City in 2003, when Toronto was investing $14 per capita with a population of 2.4 million people.

 

The City of Toronto has made significant progress. While all the impacts of increased cultural investment cannot be attributed solely to City funding, the sector has performed well overall, increasing earned revenues, expanding programming partnerships, and funding new positions to support the film and music sectors. New signature programs such as Cultural Hotspot, and two new local arts service organizations, North York Arts and East End Arts are the direct result of increased investment.

 

However, issues of equity and access to arts and heritage programs, affordable and sustainable space, adoption of new technologies and talent retention outside the downtown core remain.

Origin
(February 1, 2019) Report from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture
Summary

Significant events have a large economic and tourism impact and play an important role in promoting Toronto as an international destination. Such events can advance City priorities and strategies, create jobs, attract visitors, and leave lasting legacies for the community. Given the volume of such events seeking the City's support, City Council adopted on June 7, 2016 the City of Toronto Bidding and Hosting Strategy for Significant Special Events providing a framework for managing and evaluating significant event opportunities in Toronto. Among the key objectives of the report was a commitment to identify dedicated resources to support competitive event opportunities that provide a high return on investment for the City.

 

This report recommends that the total new funding included in the 2019 Staff Recommended Operating Budget of $750,000 gross and $0 net, fully funded from the Major Special Events Reserve Fund be awarded to support the 2019 successful applicant organizations. It also recommends that a plan to establish ongoing tax base funding for the Toronto Significant Event Investment Program be submitted to the 2020 Budget Process for consideration.
