Decision Type:
ACTION
Status:
Amended
Wards:
All

City Council Decision

City Council on May 22, 23 and 24, 2018, adopted the following:

 

1. City Council request the City Manager to further consider the findings of the Auditor General and conduct an analysis of the full costs and financial and non-financial benefits of City-run child care centres with a view to achieving optimal value for public funds while maintaining required staffing, program quality and optimal outcomes for children, families and communities, and report to City Council in the second quarter of 2019.

 

2. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to take steps to increase access to the existing licensed child care spaces in the City for the purchase of services for children with subsidies consistent with the Child Care Service Plan and Toronto Growth Strategy. Steps should be taken, but not be limited to:

 

a. expanding the maximum number of spaces that can be purchased from contracted non-profit licensed child care centres;

 

b. minimizing the vacancy rate in the City-run child care centres; and

 

c. exploring ways to access existing spaces in the non-profit licensed child care centres which do not currently have a service agreement with Children's Services.

 

3. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to expedite the process of providing centralized and up-to-date vacancy information on licensed child care spaces in Toronto to help families look for licensed child care services.

 

4. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, in her reports of wait list numbers for child care subsidies, to provide a detailed breakdown of the numbers to delineate:

 

a. children whose subsidy has already been allocated;

 

b. children with an immediate child care need; and

 

c. children with a future child care need.

 

5. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to take the necessary steps to ensure consistent application of the first-come, first-served policy in allocating the child care fee subsidy. Such steps should include, but not be limited to:

 

a. developing a more efficient process to contact applicants and update the wait list;

 

b. improving supervisory review protocol; and

 

c. developing automated system controls to prevent data entry errors as well as ensuring critical data fields are completed.

 

6. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to improve the current measures to ensure sufficient and timely supervisory review of files that are approved for child care fee subsidies.

 

7. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to review the current policy requirements regarding proof of attendance or completion of post-secondary school programs as an approved activity for child care fee subsidies.

9. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to revise current policies pertaining to child care fee subsidy adjustments to ensure the following:

 

a. requiring subsidy recipients to report increases in income of 20 per cent or more and to process the appropriate subsidy adjustment; and

 

b. calculating overpayment and underpayment and any change to the subsidy amount based on the time when the income change occurs.

 

10. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to improve controls for the "job search" policy for child care fee subsidy recipients. These should include:

 

a. implementing monitoring and review processes to ensure the "job search" policy is appropriately used;

 

b. establishing specific criteria and procedures to verify recipients' job search activities; and

 

c. ensuring adequate assessment of overpayment when subsidy recipients are found to be ineligible for the job search allowance.

 

11. City Council request the General Manager,  Children's Services, to ensure cases of child care subsidy withdrawals are adequately assessed for potential improper payment and decisions are documented. Improper payments caused by administrative errors should be identified and tracked to ensure corrective actions are taken to prevent the recurrence of these errors.

 

12. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to ensure adequate controls are in place to monitor and recover overpayments related to child care fee subsidies.

 

13. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to develop formal policies and procedures to deter and detect potential fraud among recipients of child care fee subsidies and child care centre operators.

 

14. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to collaborate with the General Manager, Toronto Employment and Social Services and the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, to incorporate a centralized overpayment recovery and fraud investigation function within the Human Services Integration Unit.

 

15. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to review the appropriateness of the legacy policy to provide child care fee subsidies to City employees who reside outside of the City, in the context of the current legislative requirements and the City's Human Resources policies. The review results are to be reported to City Council in early 2019.

 

16. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to ensure applications for the child care fee subsidy by social assistance recipients and referrals from Toronto Employment and Social Services are consistently processed and given the same priority.

 

17. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to collaborate with the General Manager, Toronto Employment and Social Services and the General Manager, Shelter Support and Housing Administration, to continue to identify and implement opportunities to further improve the coordination of services across the three income-based assistance programs, and to expedite the implementation of the Human Services Integration Strategy.

 

18. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services Division, to report back on the need to continue the Assessment for Quality program after working with the Province on this matter, and to commission an independent, anonymous survey of contracted child care centre operators in 2019 to seek feedback on customer service and satisfaction levels pertaining to the delivery of the Assessment for Quality program.

 

19. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services, to strengthen the internal controls to adequately monitor and ensure that all employees working in City-run child care centres meet the legislative requirements for employment.

 

20. City Council request the City Manager to review the Vulnerable Sector Check process for employees who work with children in City-run child care centres to ensure the process is independent and adequate to mitigate the City's risk exposure. This should include a review of the composition of the internal Vulnerable Sector Check Committee within Children's Services.

 

21. City Council direct the City Manager to convene a round table with not-for-profit child care operators to discuss issues and opportunities related to service delivery.

Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and ruled that Motion MM41.54 contained new information as one of the free-floating car-share companies recently announced that they would no longer operate in Toronto, and that City Council was not in the same position that it was a month ago.
