Origin
Summary
From time to time the City receives complaints respecting the calculation of development charges and of education development charges pursuant to Section 257.85 of the Education Act. The legislation requires Council to hold hearings into those complaints and give the complainant an opportunity to make representations.
Council delegated the authority to conduct development charges complaint hearings to the Policy and Finance Committee in 2000. This authority was transferred to the Executive Committee when it replaced the Policy and Finance Committee and assumed its mandate in 2006. The City's practice has been to conduct education development charges complaint hearings concurrently. This report seeks to amend the delegated authority for Executive Committee to include hearings for both development charge and education development charge complaints.
