The Ombudsman thanked Members of Council for their service, her fellow Accountability Officers for their work, the City Clerk's and City Manager's Office for their support, the City's Leadership, the Toronto Public Service and colleagues at the Office of the Ombudsman. Susan Opler thanked her family and friends for their support and encouragement and stated that serving as Ombudsman was the highlight of her thirty five year legal career.

1.

8. City Council authorize the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation with Ward Councillors, the Recognition Review Interdivisional Working Group and other City divisions and agencies, as appropriate, to process applications for new street names only where a new street name is required to proceed with development, in such cases following the current Street Naming Policy and a review against the draft City of Toronto Principles for Commemoration in the Public Realm in Attachment 1 to the report (June 18, 2021) from the City Manager, despite the previous moratorium on the naming or renaming of streets and other civic properties.

 

9.

CC35.1 - Ombudsman Toronto Report: Enquiry into the City of Toronto's Communication and Enforcement of COVID-19 Rules in City Parks in Spring 2020

Decision Type:
ACTION
Status:
Adopted
Wards:
All

City Council Decision

City Council on July 14, 15 and 16, 2021, adopted the following:

 

1.  City Council adopt the Ombudsman Toronto Report and in so doing, accept the Ombudsman's findings and City Council direct the City administration to implement all of the recommendations in the Enquiry Report (June 30, 2021) from the Ombudsman.

 

Ombudsman Recommendations:

 

Recommendation 1

 

The City should create an organization-wide communications policy to ensure that it gives the public timely and accurate information about changes to people’s access to City services and facilities (including City parks) in a coordinated, consistent, and accessible way.

 

This communications policy should:

 

- Apply to all City divisions and departments

 

- Apply to all the City’s communication platforms, including, but not limitedto, its website, 311 Toronto, social media sites, news releases, signage,and communication pieces for City Councillors

 

- Consider all of Toronto’s diverse communities

 

- Emphasize the importance of giving the public information that clearlydistinguishes between advice (including public health advice) and legallyprohibited activities

 

- Include a requirement for clear, simple language

 

- Use data and research to measure the effectiveness of City communications.

 

Recommendation 2

 

To complement this communications policy, the City should develop processes to address the following:

 

- Ensuring that the City addresses public complaints about City communications, including communications related to enforcement, in a timely and effective way

 

- How the City can partner with local agencies serving Toronto’s communities to communicate information about changes to the public’s access to City services and facilities to the populations they serve in an effective and accessible way.

 

Recommendation 3

 

MLS should immediately send clear and direct communication to all of its staff that “zero tolerance” is an unacceptable, unclear and unfair approach to enforcement, which should be avoided.

 

Recommendation 4

 

MLS, with the help of Legal Services, should conduct a review of all MLS enforcement policies, procedures, guidelines, operational directives, training materials and any other relevant documents to identify and remove any reference to the term “zero tolerance.”

 

Recommendation 5

 

MLS should create a process that allows staff to make anonymous reports about operational concerns, questions or confusion.

 

Recommendation 6

 

MLS, with the help of Legal Services and SDFA, should create a policy and training materials on the fair and equitable exercise of judgment and discretion by by-law enforcement officers in exercising their authority.

 

MLS may wish to consult with the TTC, who is developing such a policy for its enforcement staff as a result of our previous reports.

 

Recommendation 7

 

MLS should publish and widely share its policy on the fair and equitable exercise of judgment and discretion by by-law enforcement officers, including with community agencies serving vulnerable populations.

 

Recommendation 8

 

As a priority, MLS, with help as necessary from SDFA, the City’s Shelter Support and Housing Administration division, and other relevant City divisions, should develop a plan to allow MLS to hear directly from community organizations, particularly organizations serving vulnerable and marginalized people, and ensure that feedback from Toronto’s communities informs the training and operations of MLS’s enforcement activities.

 

Recommendation 9

 

To promote transparency and public confidence, the City should immediately make public anonymized summaries of the findings and the systemic recommendations of the investigations into the incidents in April and June 2020 in High Park and Centennial Park respectively.

 

Recommendation 10

 

The City should make public the steps it has taken, and will be taking, to implement the systemic recommendations in the High Park and Centennial Park investigations.

 

Recommendation 11

 

MLS should develop an anti-racism strategy, with the help of the City’s Confronting Anti-Black Racism unit, the City’s Indigenous Affairs Office, other relevant City divisions and units and external resources as required.

 

MLS’s anti-racism strategy should have as one of its goals eliminating racial profiling by by-law enforcement officers. The anti-racism strategy should encompass the following areas of MLS operations:

 

- Staff recruitment and retention

 

- Policies and procedures

 

- Training

 

- Enforcement activities

 

- Performance improvement and accountability

 

- Community engagement.

 

MLS may wish to consult with the TTC, which is undertaking a similar project as a result of our work with it.

 

Recommendation 12

 

As part of developing an anti-racism strategy, MLS should consult with communities impacted by systemic racism, discrimination and vulnerability.

 

Recommendation 13

 

As part of developing an anti-racism strategy, MLS should explore adopting a race-based data collection strategy to help identify inequalities in MLS’s enforcement activities.

 

As with Recommendation 11, MLS may wish to consult with the TTC, which is undertaking a similar project as part of developing its anti-racism strategy and race-based data collection strategy.

 

Recommendation 14

 

The City should give Ombudsman Toronto quarterly updates on the status of its implementation of these recommendations.

Motions (City Council)

1 - Motion to Amend Item (Additional) moved by Councillor Paula Fletcher (Out of Order)

That:

 

1.  City Council forward this report to The Honourable Doug Downey, Ontario's Attorney General, with a request that consideration be given to the impact the general unfairness underlying all impugned tickets should have on the exercise of prosecutorial discretion by prosecutors.

 

2.  City Council direct the City Manager, in consultation with relevant City staff, to proactively refund the full cost of any impugned tickets that have already been paid.


Motion to Adopt Item (Carried)

Point of Order by Councillor Stephen Holyday

Councillor Holyday, on a Point of Order, stated he would like the Speaker to rule on the legality of Council directing the City Manager in the way that was proposed in Part 2 of motion 1 by Councillor Fletcher.

Ruling by Speaker Frances Nunziata
Speaker Nunziata accepted the Point of Order and said she would review the motion. Speaker Nunziata asked the City Solicitor to address City Council.

The City Solicitor advised City Council that there is a well-established need within the rule-of-law for a separation between the administration of Justice and the Political realm. The City Solicitor further advised City Council that when a person has paid a fine, they have effectively pled guilty; that there is a process in place for that individual to apply for a refund; and that process is part of the administration of Justice. The City Solicitor advised City Council that the administration of Justice is not an area that should be addressed by City Council and an area that could not be addressed by City Staff in proposed manner.

Speaker Nunziata, based on the advice of the City Solicitor, ruled motion 1 by Councillor Fletcher, Out of Order.

City Council on July 14, 15 and 16, 2021, adopted the following:

 

1. City Council direct the City Manager to report to the October 27, 2021 meeting of the Executive Committee on the following questions:

 

a. How many meetings with the Province, through Metrolinx and other Provincial agencies, have City staff had regarding expropriation of City-owned properties?


b. Explain in detail and sequence, the process for the expropriation and related business transaction the City staff are undertaking through their negotiations with Metrolinx and the Province of Ontario.


c. What are the regulatory and financial differences between municipally-owned land expropriations under the Expropriations Act and municipally-owned land expropriations under the Building Transit Faster Act?


d. Is the First Parliament Site located at 271 Front Street East and 25 Berkeley Street subject to the Expropriations Act or Building Transit Faster Act?


e. Does the Province, through an agency like Metrolinx, need to justify the expropriation of the municipal lands through a process such as a Hearing of Necessity?


f. Would the Province, through an agency like Metrolinx, be able to expropriate privately owned land without a Hearing of Necessity?


g. Has or will a financial transaction be settled with the Province ahead of the possession of the First Parliament Lands on August 31, 2021 to ensure the City is properly compensated for the loss of these significant parcels of property and where will these funds be directly - general budget reserves or project specific funding?


h. Is there any mandatory requirement by the Province under this expropriation process occurring at the First Parliament Site that the City must be compensated fair market value for the loss of these significant parcels of property?


i. In the event of redevelopment of the First Parliament Site, is there a process to capture community benefits, as outlined in the Master Plan, and what is it and how does it work?


j. If it is not expected to be a typical section 37 Planning Act process, what process is expected to be used, if any, to ensure proper community benefits are provided, and how would it differ from Section 37?


k. The City has expressed many priorities for the site, including siting a new public square, library, park and commemorative centre on the First Parliament Site through its First Parliament Master Plan document that is under development; is it expected that these community benefits will preclude other community benefits to ensure they are secured?


l. Is the City exploring the addition of affordable housing units to the proposed development concepts introduced by Infrastructure Ontario to the First Parliament Site?
