Motions (City Council)

a - Review Order Paper

June 18, 2019 at 10:26 a.m. - Speaker Nunziata advised Council of the following:

 

Members, I will now review the Order Paper.

 

The Mayor has designated Item EX6.4, headed "Federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund - Update" and Item EX6.5, headed "Status Update - Toronto-Ontario Transit Responsibilities Realignment Review" as his Key Matters for this meeting. 

 

These will be our first and second items of business today.

 

Notices of Motions are scheduled to be dealt with at 2 p.m. tomorrow only if the Mayor's Key Matters are completed.

 

I propose that City Council set a time for a closed session, if required, later in the meeting.

 

Members, before I review Member holds, I wish to make a ruling on Item TE6.61, regarding Road Safety at the intersection of Fleet Street, Bathurst Street and Lake Shore Boulevard West.

 

This Item has been submitted to Council without recommendation, pending a report from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

         

This matter relates to a permanent road closure.  A permanent road closure requires notice to the public and the opportunity to be heard at committee.  No notice was provided on this Item.  As a result, I am ruling Item TE6.61 out of order.  The Item will be resubmitted to the Toronto and East York Community Council for its June 25th meeting so that notice can be given. The General Manager, Transportation Services will report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the matter.

 

The City Clerk has noted the Items that Members wish to hold.

 

I will now go through the Items listed on the Order Paper to take additional holds.  I will recognize requests to make matters urgent and time specific after I go through the Items for additional holds.
