\r\n\r\n
1. City Council express its support to the Minister of Education of the Toronto District School Board request that an amendment be made to O. Reg. 444/98, Disposition of Surplus Property, to enable school boards to request a Ministerial exemption from the requirement to obtain fair market value for school board lands where a direct benefit is being secured that enhances the education and learning opportunities for students or advances a provincial priority (e.g., housing, long-term care, Truth and Reconciliation).
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Toronto District School Board work with the City of Toronto to identify sites suitable for the development of new affordable housing.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"As stewards of over 5,000 acres of land throughout the city, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has unique opportunities to advance city-building initiatives on its lands that are deemed surplus, which could bring significant benefits to students and local communities as the city grows.
\r\n\r\n
A recent example is the Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre, a new City-led aquatic and multi-use community centre on the site of the Davisville Junior Public School and Spectrum Alternative School. There will be shared facilities so the school will have access to the swimming pools, and the City will have access to the school's gymnasium and underground parking outside of school hours to support City recreation programming.
\r\n\r\n
To help facilitate future opportunities, TDSB has requested the Ministry of Education to amend provincial regulations to enable them leverage broader city-building benefits on its surplus lands.
\r\n\r\n
Currently, under provincial rules, if a piece of property owned by the school board is deemed surplus, the school board is required to obtain fair market value for the public asset.
\r\n\r\n
The TDSB has recommended that school boards be able to request an exemption from the Minister of Education on the requirement to obtain fair market value for the lands, where there are opportunities to enhance education and learning opportunities for students, or if the proposed use would advance a provincial priority, such as long-term care uses, strategic housing opportunities, or Truth, Justice and Reconciliation.
\r\n\r\n
While fair market value would be sought in most circumstances, this proposed change would help achieve some of the City and Province's broader goals on publicly-owned lands. City Council, as part of 2022.CC2.1 \"2023 Housing Action Plan”, has directed staff to engage with school boards to encourage the creation of housing on their lands.
\r\n\r\n
Additionally, through 2022.MM45.6, in support of a 'For Indigenous, By Indigenous' affordable housing project, City Council requested the Province of Ontario and/or the Minister of Education and Training to exempt from the requirements of Ontario Regulation 444/98, Disposition of Surplus Property, TDSB-identified surplus sites that can be conveyed to Indigenous housing developers at lower than market or nominal cost for the purpose of building permanently affordable rental housing for Indigenous communities; and requested that the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Land Corporation consider conveying a narrow strip of greenspace neighbouring the project to Gabriel Dumont Non-Profit Homes Inc. at lower than market value or nominal cost for the purpose of building more permanently affordable rental housing for Indigenous communities as part of the project.
\r\n\r\n
This letter proposes to endorse the TDSB’s request, and to forward this endorsement to the provincial Minister of Education.

","agendaItemSummary":"The Rexdale-Casino Woodbine Community Benefits Agreement was adopted by City Council in 2018 as a condition of expanded gaming at the Woodbine Racetrack site. The Agreement established a range of community benefits requirements that One Toronto Gaming must fulfill.
\r\n\r\n
The terms of the Agreement require One Toronto Gaming to provide annual progress reports to the City and for staff to provide annual update reports to City Council. 2023 marked the fifth year since the establishment of the Rexdale-Casino Woodbine Community Benefits Agreement. This report provides a progress update on the status of the Rexdale-Casino Woodbine Community Benefits Agreement, the City's share of gaming revenues for 2023, and the opening of the expanded site. This report also includes key findings from a five-year review of the Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
The majority of the targets and requirements of the Rexdale-Casino Woodbine Community Benefits Agreement are being met or are on track to being met. Highlights of One Toronto Gaming's progress as of December 31, 2023, include:
\r\n\r\n
-Child Care Centre: One Toronto Gaming provided the required $5 million contribution to the City of Toronto in 2018. A feasibility study to identify the location of the future child care centre was completed in April 2023. The child care centre will be connected to a Toronto Community Housing Corporation building unit located near the casino.
\r\n-International Marketing Plan: One Toronto Gaming submitted an International Marketing Plan to the City of Toronto in May 2023.
\r\n-Local and Social Hiring (Operations): Of the 2,768 new hires since 2018, 44 percent (1,211 individuals) self-identified as a social hire and nine percent (239 individuals) were local hires. The target for local hires has not yet been met. Categories for self-identification are not mutually exclusive. Actions to meet this target are further detailed in this report.
\r\n-Local and Social Hiring (Construction): Of the 2,740 people employed on the construction site since 2018, 28 percent (777 individuals) self-identified as a social hire and two percent (60 individuals) self-identified as a local hire. The target for local hires has not yet been met. Actions to meet this target are further detailed in this report.
\r\n-Full-Time Employment: Of the 1,734 active employees, 63 percent (1,096 individuals) are employed on a full-time basis and 37 percent (638 individuals) are employed on a part-time basis.
\r\n-Supply Chain Diversity: In 2023, One Toronto Gaming spent $87.7 million across 14 local suppliers, representing 32 percent of their total procurement spend. One Toronto Gaming spent $4.6 million across 10 diverse suppliers, representing two percent of their total procurement spend.
\r\n-Community Access to Space: Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto's entertainment venue opened on December 31, 2023. One Toronto Gaming submitted a draft of the Community Access to Space Policy and Procedure to the City in January 2024 and the City is currently reviewing the draft policy and procedure.
\r\n-Responsible Gambling: All Responsible Gambling measures are being met.
\r\n\r\n
As part of the redevelopment, Great Canadian Entertainment opened Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto (formerly known as Casino Woodbine) and a partially opened hotel in the summer of 2023. The entertainment venue was opened in December 2023. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto has reported that while the majority of the casino's mass hiring efforts took place in 2023, there are remaining opportunities to continue connecting the local Rexdale community to employment at the casino. One Toronto Gaming, the City, and the Community Steering Committee remain committed to working together to advance the Rexdale-Casino Woodbine Community Benefits Agreement to maximize positive outcomes for local and equity-deserving residents.

Summary from the report (February 2, 2024) from the Chief Executive Officer, CreateTO:
\r\n\r\n
The Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation (\"Somali Centre\") is a registered non-profit organization led by a group of Somali Canadian young professionals from across Ontario aiming to create a dedicated cultural recreation and community space for the Somali population in Toronto. According to the organization, there has been a 40-year effort from the Somali community to develop a culture and recreation centre in Toronto to address the needs of this under-served community.
\r\n\r\n
Beginning in the 1970s, the community began working with local leaders and politicians to advocate for this type of facility. The main goal of this centre is to create a \"…central space for the Somali community to gather and receive culturally appropriate community services from non-profit service providers and agencies.\" After decades of advocacy, Toronto City Council adopted a motion in July 2022 to direct City of Toronto and CreateTO staff to work with the Somali Centre on a feasibility study to identify potential sites for this facility.
\r\n\r\n
This report provides an outline of the collaborative process undertaken by CreateTO, the City of Toronto, and the Somali Centre and provides a staff review of their feasibility study. Next steps will include a continued effort to work together and to understand the operating model and long-term financial feasibility of the Somali Centre.

A formalized City-wide prioritization framework can enhance existing prioritization processes and be used to make strategic decisions regarding the 10-Year Capital Plan, including both the funded and unfunded portions, during the annual budget process. A new framework will allow Council to set strategic direction in the allocation of available capital funds using a consistent set of guiding principles, while considering overall affordability and capacity to deliver capital investments.
\r\n\r\n
As was noted in the 2023 Financial Update and Outlook presented to City Council in March 2023, the City faces material fiscal risks over the next 10 years, including a combination of increasing annual operating pressures, additional debt servicing costs, and a growing list of capital needs, with the majority of the City's projected financial challenges related to the 10-Year Capital Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The City's 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan is a total of $49.8 billion in expenditures, with $14.1 billion funded by debt-related sources (including conventional debt, debt enabled by the City Building Fund, and recoverable debt). In addition to the funded portion of the Capital Plan, the LTFP identified $29.5 billion in known unfunded capital pressures. Further to this, the City faces additional demands to deliver key priorities including affordable housing goals, climate action, and advancements of critical state of good repair work.
\r\n\r\n
Overall, development of a capital prioritization framework is expected to positively contribute to the City's long-term financial sustainability and to advance the strategic directions and goals of City Council, by effectively allocating and prioritizing available funding.
","agendaItemSummary":"At its meeting on September 6, 2023, City Council considered the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP), which identified immediate and long-term opportunities to address the City's fiscal challenges. As part of the report, staff committed to developing a capital prioritization framework for the 2025 budget planning process. This report provides a status update on that work.
\r\n\r\n
Following completion of the 2024 budget process, staff began developing a comprehensive framework for capital prioritization, which is intended to provide the City with an objective tool and approach for prioritizing capital projects within the City’s financial and project delivery capacity, based on a set of weighted criteria. Consideration is being given to a variety of criteria, including capital project categories, state of good repair requirements, spend rates, availability and eligibility of funding, risk assessment, environmental, social and governance contributions, and strategic alignment with the City's priorities. The framework is intended to ultimately enhance the City’s existing prioritization process.
\r\n\r\n
As a next step, staff will continue to consult with similar government entities and City Division and Agency stakeholders to develop final prioritization criteria and applicable weighting. In addition, staff will develop a tool to facilitate the prioritization process across a multi-billion dollar capital program. During the 2025 budget process, the framework will be applied to capital project data collected, starting with new capital projects, before expanding to the full 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan and unfunded priorities. Further updates on the capital prioritization framework will be provided during the 2025 budget process.

","financialImpactWep":"Education Tax Rates:
\r\n\r\n
The education property tax rates prescribed by the Province for 2024 remain unchanged from the previous year for all classes, including the education rates for certain properties where municipalities are permitted to retain the education portion of payment in lieu of taxes (PILTs).
\r\n\r\n
Accordingly, the average household assessed at $694,381 in 2024 will see no increase in their education tax bill of $1,062, remaining the same since 2020. It should be noted that assessed values have not been updated since 2020, when they were fully phased in. A detailed breakdown of 2024 municipal and education property taxes on the average home is presented in Table 4 of this report.
\r\n\r\n
The City is required by legislation to levy and collect property taxes for school purposes at the tax rates prescribed by the Minister of Finance. For 2024 the education tax levy is $2,156,683,397. For certain PILT properties, the portion of the PILT that would be attributable to education taxes is retained by the City, by prior agreement, and current legislation/regulation. Of the total education levy, the City retains only $4,165,050 or about 0.2% as the education portion of PILTs as permitted by Ontario Regulation 121/07 and remits the remaining balance of $2,152,518,347 to the Province.
\r\n\r\n
The continued 15% education tax rate reduction for the small business tax subclass will result in $24.93 million of reduction in education taxes for the subclass in 2024. Table 1 shows the dollar value of the 15% reductions for the small business tax subclass in 2024 for variety of Current Value Assessments (CVAs).

Clawback Rates:
\r\n
This report also recommends clawback rates for the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property tax classes, as is required on an annual basis. There is no direct financial implication to the City of Toronto arising from the clawback rates recommended in this report. The foregone revenue resulting from the legislated limit and Council-approved capping policy on CVA-related tax increases on the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property tax classes is funded by withholding (clawing-back) a portion of the decrease that would otherwise be realized within each class. This policy protects businesses from property tax increases greater than 10% of a property's prior year's annualized taxes (for an increase greater than $500), which is offset by retaining some property tax decreases that otherwise would be passed on to property owners.
","agendaItemSummary":"In accordance with various legislative requirements, City Council must annually adopt the following by-laws associated with property taxes:
\r\n\r\n
- the municipal levy;
\r\n- the education levy; and
\r\n- the claw-back rate for properties in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property classes.
\r\n\r\n
These by-laws are required to enable the City to issue the final property tax bills for the year, for both municipal and school purposes. Following City Council's adoption of the 2024 municipal property tax rates at its meeting, this report now addresses the education levy and the claw-back rate.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends adoption of the 2024 education tax rates and education property tax levy for school purposes, as required by legislation. The City of Toronto levies and collects education taxes on behalf of the Province of Ontario, based on the education tax rates set out in Ontario Regulation 400/98, as amended. The education property tax rates prescribed by the Province for 2024 remain unchanged from the previous year for all classes. Accordingly, the average household will see no increase in their education tax this year.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, this report addresses the requirements associated with the clawback rate for properties in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property classes. In February 2024, City Council adopted the continued policy of limiting ('capping') allowable tax increases to a maximum of 10% of a property's prior year's annualized taxes for properties in those classes with a property tax bill increase greater than $500. This capping policy protects commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties from significant annual tax increases.
\r\n\r\n
In order to capture the lost revenue from properties that are capped, the City annually calculates a clawback rate that effectively results in withholding part of a property’s decrease due to reassessment, as applicable. This report recommends the 'clawback percentage', which represents the amount the City will retain from any decreases in property tax bills, to offset the capping policy. This therefore means that the tax bill will reflect the 'allowable decrease' percentage applied for the year, which in fact is the portion of the decrease the property will be able to retain.

Should City Council direct staff to undertake a public information and/or a public consultation strategy related to constitutional amendments or changes to the City of Toronto’s authorities, a report including recommended methods, timing, equity and financial impacts would be submitted for Council’s consideration.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report responds to City Council’s request for options, methods and budget implications of a public information strategy that could be used to inform the public about recognizing and enshrining City of Toronto authorities within the Canadian Constitution and/or a public consultation strategy that would seek public input on where the City of Toronto should have more power or authorities.
\r\n\r\n
A range of communications and public engagement options are presented in this report, from basic to moderate to best-practice in these areas. If City Council has already made a policy decision or is seeking confirmation from the public about a policy position, then basic or moderate strategies might be chosen. If City Council is seeking considerable input, advice and involvement of the public to inform a policy position, a more comprehensive set of tactics, time and resources would be required.
\r\n\r\n
Considerations when developing a public information or consultation strategy for a complex, city-wide and whole-of-government public policy issue are outlined in this report and include:
\r\n\r\n
- The size and diversity of Toronto's population.
\r\n- Applicable legislation, City policies, Council decisions, research or existing public input on the issue.
\r\n- The complexity of the issues being communicated and consulted on.
\r\n- Any sectors, communities, City divisions, agencies or partners who may be impacted by the issue or a decision by Council.
\r\n- The public’s interest and level of understanding of the City, the issue and its impact on them.
\r\n- How people receive information and want to be engaged.
\r\n- Barriers to public participation and supports participants require to participate.
\r\n- The City’s Reconciliation Action Plan, the Toronto Action Plan to Confront Anti-Black Racism, and other equity-related policies and plans.
\r\n- If there are any municipal, provincial or federal legislated processes, reporting requirements, critical steps or timelines that must be followed.
\r\n- The appropriate tactics and methods to meet stated objectives and where in the decision-making process the strategies would occur.
\r\n- City staff capacity, need for external consultants, available budget and timelines.
\r\n\r\n
Information from past consultations and engagements for complex public policy issues served as the basis for identifying potential methods and resource requirements for a city-wide public information or consultation strategy at the scale and scope required for seeking constitutional changes or amendments to Toronto’s authorities.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"As the City prepares to host six matches during the FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26), City Council has committed to delivering the games in a transparent, accountable and collaborative manner.
\r\n\r\n
Hosting these matches is a once in a lifetime opportunity to deepen our connection to one another, to stand united in our diversity and make Toronto’s global beacon of hope shine that much brighter.
\r\n\r\n
Delivering major sporting events is never easy. There will always be challenges and unexpected contingencies. That is why open, transparent oversight is essential in building our shared confidence that the games are being delivered to the standard Torontonians expect.
\r\n\r\n
To ensure proper oversight of the budget, the Financial Planning Division has assigned FWC26 to an analyst, who will ensure FWC26 finances are reported on separately from other City budgets. This reporting, as well as procurement related to the games and issues such as community benefits will be considered together by a dedicated sub-committee of Executive Commitee.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"In the Provincial Budget tabled on March 26, 2024, the Provincial government has indicated it will be providing municipalities with the flexibility to offer a reduced municipal property tax rate on new multi‐residential rental properties. This is a welcome step that allows the City of Toronto to introduce a measure of tax fairness for all purpose-built rental buildings, regardless of when they were constructed. Balancing the City’s challenging financial position, market conditions, and affordability challenges, I am recommending that the Chief Financial Officer report on the enabling mechanisms required to align the rates with the objective of fair taxation across multi-residential typologies.
