In my time as a City Councillor and Toronto’s Child and Youth Advocate, I spoke with youth across the city - asking them what they would do if they were mayor for a day. One entry from Sylvia stood out above all the others. She submitted a drawing of a stick figure child holding up a shopping bag, her note read that she would ask God for money to buy groceries. This image and this need has haunted me ever since.
\r\n\r\n
That’s why today I am taking the next step as Mayor to build a Universal Student Food Program in our city. I am committed to making this happen. It exists in cities around the world and Torontonians deserve it too.
\r\n\r\n
I am very proud to have helped establish Toronto’s student food program when I was a school trustee and later a councillor. Today it helps to serve over 227,000 meals per day to kids across our city. But still there are over 100,000 kids across more than 220 public schools who do not have access to good food, including thousands in some of our lowest income neighbourhoods.
\r\n\r\n
In fact, we have 21 schools that have the infrastructure in place, that are eligible, that have applied in the last two years, and have been denied because of a lack of funding. That means 8,000 kids at these schools don’t have the same opportunities, they’re stuck trying to focus and learn on empty stomachs. My first recommendation below puts us on a path to feeding these students in January 2025.
\r\n\r\n
The rising cost of groceries is putting pressure on families in our City. In Toronto, nearly one in three food bank clients are children and youth. The reality is, in our city with so much wealth, we have thousands of kids going to school every single day hungry. When you’re hungry, you can’t learn. We need our kids to be able to focus on their teacher, not their hunger. We know that student meal programs increase attendance, improve math, science and reading scores, reduce dropouts, and create healthier communities.
\r\n\r\n
City Council and the Toronto Board of Health have a long history of offering nutritious meals at school through the Student Nutrition Program. This program is funded through municipal and provincial funding streams. The City of Toronto currently invests $19.16 million annually and the Province of Ontario nearly $9 million. School community contributions and fundraising alongside corporate donations also help to fund the program. And in its April 2024 Budget, the Federal Government announced the National School Food Program, where they committed hundreds of millions that we expect to soon flow here in Ontario.
\r\n\r\n
With this alignment across orders of government and, frankly, across political parties - we have a big opportunity to make a universal school food program a reality in our city.
\r\n\r\n
That’s why I am recommending Executive Committee adopt the recommendations below.

\r\n\r\n
Unfortunately, we have seen a number of incidents that risk shaking people’s faith in our ferries. Over the past few years, the ferries have experienced hard dock incidents, power outages, maintenance delays and other challenges.
\r\n\r\n
The City has taken action over the past year to ensure the safety of passengers and the good working order of our ferry system. These actions include hiring 70 deckhands to staff the ferries, and improving signage, pre-departure safety announcements, lighting and more.
\r\n\r\n
Further, recognizing the need to provide reliable access to the islands, I introduced a motion to explore leasing more ferries. Leasing ferries can help us run frequent and reliable service while we wait for our new ferries to arrive.
\r\n\r\n
Despite these commendable actions, we need to assure the public that our ferry system is safe, reliable and well-managed.

The primary objective of the VHT is to improve housing availability by reducing the number of residential properties that would otherwise be left vacant. The VHT program creates a disincentive for property owners to leave residential properties vacant and encourages them to bring these homes into the active rental or ownership housing market. Where property owners choose to keep a property vacant, revenues collected from the program are invested in initiatives that increase or preserve housing supply, such as the City’s Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition (MURA) Program.
\r\n\r\n
While the VHT program is still relatively new in Toronto, evidence from other jurisdictions has shown that it is an effective policy tool to increase housing supply. As seen in Vancouver, their equivalent policy tool to the VHT has directly resulted in an increase in housing stock in the rental market.
\r\n\r\n
While the VHT program is an important policy tool to support housing supply in the City, the 2023 declaration process that culminated last April was incredibly challenging for residents who received a Vacant Home Tax charge for a property they continued to reside in, as well as Members of Council, their teams and City staff that fielded countless calls from distressed residents. During a report to Council in April 2024, staff acknowledged the challenging 2023 VHT declaration process and immediately identified actions to address those challenges. Staff committed to undertaking a full review of the program and reporting back with a completely redesigned VHT process effective for the 2024 taxation year.
\r\n\r\n
Since then, Revenue Services, in collaboration with Strategic Public & Employee Communications, Technology Services, Customer Experience (311), Legal Services, Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Office of the Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer have completed a full review and redesign of the program, focusing on improvements to the following four key areas, all with a customer centred approach:
\r\n\r\n
1. Process and timelines,
\r\n2. Ease of declaration,
\r\n3. Communications strategy, and
\r\n4. Technology and customer interface.
\r\n\r\n
Together, these improvements aim to make the declaration process as simple and accessible as possible based on feedback from discussions and consultations with various target audiences.
\r\n\r\n
The recommended changes outlined in this report will ensure that homeowners are able to declare their occupancy status in a format that works best for them, whether online, in-person or over the phone, over an extended period of time with access to a dedicated customer care team should additional support be needed. The revised program will ensure a smoother and more efficient experience for Torontonians who, through annual declarations, are a key part of helping the City address its current housing crisis. These changes will also ensure that no homeowner will receive any billing related to VHT, unless they are specifically determined as vacant in accordance with the VHT program by-law.

","councilNative":"N","decisionTypeDesc":"ACTION"},"decisionTypeDesc":"ACTION","hasDecisonInformation":true,"consentItemStatusDesc":"Amended","preMeetingSpeakersList":[],"preMeetingInterestedPersons":[],"postMeetingSpeakersList":[],"postMeetingInterestedPersons":[]},{"agendaItemId":136834,"communicationTypeCd":"REPORT","urgent":"N","inCamera":"N","publishTypeCd":"SUPPL","considerTypeCd":"ACTION","itemStatusCd":"NO_ACTN","statutory":"N","agendaItemTitle":"Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (BBTCA) Runway End Safety Areas (RESA)","referenceNumber":"2024.EX17.5a","publishDecisionInd":"Y","publishMotionInd":"Y","publishVoteInd":"Y","publishRulingInd":"Y","agendaItemSummary":"PortsToronto has a federal regulatory requirement to implement Runway End Safety Areas (RESA) at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (BBTCA) by July 12, 2027 (See Attachment 1). The potential for RESA regulations was first raised by Transport Canada in 2010, with regulations ultimately finalized and published in the Canada Gazette in December 2021. The potential RESA options at BBTCA were also highlighted in PortsToronto's 2018 Airport Master Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the federal RESA requirement and the proposed runway end options at BBTCA. It also provides City staff comments on the runway end options and PortsToronto's requests, and the decisions and approvals that are recommended as a result of these requests. Further, this report provides a summary of the City-led public engagement on this matter. Staff advice is focused on RESA compliance, per the federal requirement described in Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
BBTCA is operated by the Toronto Port Authority (operating as PortsToronto) and is on land that is approximately 78% owned by PortsToronto, 20% by the City of Toronto and 2% by the Government of Canada, represented by the Minister of Transport. The operations at BBTCA are governed under a Tripartite Agreement that was signed by the three landowners in 1983, and which has a current end date in 2033. The agreement is unique because, in addition to setting out conventional lease terms, it includes numerous conditions and prohibitions respecting airport operations and describes certain requirements and responsibilities of the signatories, including a prohibition of any actions that would \"…interfere with the safe use and operation of the island airport.\" The airport has and continues to operate safely, as is required under federal Canadian Aviation Regulations.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto has requested that Transport Canada and the City amend the Tripartite Agreement by providing permission to extend the available landmass, which is currently prohibited.
\r\n\r\n
As a result of due diligence and public engagement, City staff are in a position to recommend PortsToronto's \"Option 1\" as the most efficient option for meeting RESA compliance by the federal regulatory deadline. Accordingly, this report recommends that City Council authorize a limited Tripartite Agreement amendment to permit the essential land mass expansion required for Option 1. This would be a limited, technical amendment to permit limited lakefill works to achieve RESA compliance most quickly.
\r\n\r\n
City Council's adoption of the recommendations in this report would indicate the City's support for the completion of Option 1 and provide clarity to PortsToronto's Board of Directors on the extent of City approvals that will be provided to enable RESA compliance.
\r\n\r\n
Providing permission for essential land mass expansion (and thus limited lakefill works) will focus the project as a compliance effort and encourage PortsToronto to ensure delivery of an essential and time-sensitive public safety upgrade for this important transportation asset.
\r\n\r\n
Providing permission for the lakefill required for RESA Option 1 represents a balanced approach that preserves the airport's existing commercial operations (thus maintaining its contribution to the city's economy) while having the lowest possible incremental impacts to livability on Toronto's waterfront. City Council approval of the lakefill required for Option 1 would in effect be a continuation of 'status quo' from a waterfront revitalization perspective.
\r\n\r\n
Among the RESA options under study by PortsToronto, Option 1 represents a focused scope of work which is:
\r\n\r\n
- The lowest risk scenario to achieving the mandated federal safety requirements by the July 12, 2027 federal deadline;
\r\n- Has a considerably lower project cost;
\r\n- Avoids the need for additional planning approvals, such as an Official Plan Amendment, which would add additional time; and,
\r\n- Provides the shortest construction timeline and smallest scope of lakefill, resulting in minimum disruption over two and a half years to residents and recreational activities within the surrounding area.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto has also requested an extension to the lease to provide for a longer window for RESA financing, as well as greater operational and planning certainty; the request is for the agreement to run for 48 years from 2025, meaning an extension of term from 2033 to 2073 (an extra 40 years). Further, PortsToronto has proposed related/ancillary airport infrastructure and safety upgrades that could be enabled by expanded lakefill scope. Due to RESA compliance timelines, PortsToronto has requested City Council direction on their desired amendments to the Tripartite Agreement by November 29, 2024, and for a new or amended Tripartite Agreement, to be signed by the parties, by January 31, 2025.
\r\n\r\n
City staff are not recommending changes to the term of the Tripartite Agreement in this report, as this issue is also best considered as a part of an airport master planning exercise and following robust public consultation.
\r\n\r\n
City staff note that the ancillary works that are proposed in more complex RESA options, as well as other items, could be implemented later, in an incremental fashion, and are best considered in the context of an airport master planning exercise. This would allow for a holistic study while avoiding building these items into a considerably larger size RESA project that has additional cost, risk and complexity associated with non-essential (to the RESA project) lakefill works.
\r\n\r\n
City staff are also not making a recommendation that would result in a material and immediate impact to airport operations, such as not taking a position on RESA compliance, reducing declared runway distances or implementing an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) option. These options represent significant changes and would have wide ranging implications on matters which have not been studied since the last comprehensive airport proposal in 2014. Rather the study of broader issues is better considered as a part of a fulsome public conversation in the context of an airport master planning exercise.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto and some stakeholders have raised the need for a broader public discussion on the future of the airport. With the focus on RESA compliance, PortsToronto, Transport Canada and the City have not fully explored how such a public discussion could occur. Further, BBTCA's airport master plan was last updated in 2018 with best practices dictating an update every ten years. PortsToronto has previously committed to updating its master plan every five years. Accordingly, this report recommends that staff be authorized to participate in discussions with PortsToronto and Transport Canada on the need for an update to the airport's 2018 master plan and be directed to report to Executive Committee in 2025 on the framework, including funding requirements, required for such a process. It is important that the parties work together to develop a process to guide this larger discussion and agree on its timelines. An effective process would seek to promote robust engagement, allow for thoughtful consideration of the issues involved, and provide transparency and accountability in decision making.
\r\n\r\n
The recommendations outlined in this report would allow for RESA implementation by the 2027 deadline, while separating this safety objective from the much larger discussion about the airport in the context of broader City goals. City staff are recommending this approach to provide the time and space for robust and thoughtful consideration about an update to the airport master plan and the possible comprehensive review and renewal of the Tripartite Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Previous City Council directions and City policies acknowledge the complexities of a downtown airport including the land-use compatibility challenges in the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood, the City's broader objectives related to waterfront revitalization, including building more housing, and the regional economic importance of this unique transportation asset.
\r\n\r\n
In 2000, the vision document Our Toronto Waterfront: Gateway to a New Canada, set out a new direction for the waterfront to become a \"model to the world of how economic development, environmental protection and cultural and recreational growth can complement each other… [creating] a place to play, live and work.\" While the vision has evolved, including through the core principles of the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan and the renewed priorities of the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization, what is unchanged is the idea that waterfront revitalization offers a unique opportunity to address complex, often intersecting challenges to create a prosperous, vibrant and livable city. This includes the need to balance public policy objectives as we continue to recover, renew and enhance Toronto's global competitiveness. A downtown airport is an asset that can support Toronto and the region’s economy by contributing to key sectors such as film and culture, innovation & technology, life sciences and cleantech, while enhancing the visitor economy.
\r\n\r\n
As detailed further below City Council authority for RESA Option 1 and direction for staff to work with Transport Canada and PortsToronto on an updated airport master plan would achieve the following public policy objectives:
\r\n\r\n
- Encourage compliance with relevant City of Toronto Official Plan lakefill policies, which limit lakefill to meeting the needs of \"essential public works.\"
\r\n- Reinforce the core principles of the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan and the principles which guide the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization.
\r\n- Create the space for a longer-term discussion to occur about the airport master planning process and the possible comprehensive review and renewal of the Tripartite Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Next Steps for RESA
\r\nFollowing City Council decision making, the next steps on RESA will largely be determined by PortsToronto, which will complete its Environmental Assessment and identify a preferred option.
\r\n\r\n
Should PortsToronto select their current Option 1 as a compliance-focused RESA design that is limited to essential lakefill works, the RESA project could proceed in short order and maintain the critical path required for compliance by 2027. In this scenario, PortsToronto may refine their approach following City Council approvals since the Environmental Assessment is ongoing.
\r\n\r\n
Should PortsToronto pursue a RESA option that is substantially scoped beyond Option 1 and the essential lakefill works required to achieve RESA compliance, other City processes such as an Official Plan Amendment would be required. An Official Plan Amendment for example would require submission of an application with a number of information items (plans, reports and studies) that may be required to assess proposals and the completeness of applications. Community consultation meetings are requirements in the Official Plan Amendment process. Staff evaluate requests for site specific Official Plan Amendments through a rigorous process that includes reports to committee and Council, public consultation, and an appeal period. Additional processes and approvals would add to project timelines and could have a negative impact on achieving RESA compliance by the federal deadline.
\r\n\r\n
Next Steps for Airport Master Planning
\r\nSubject to City Council approval, City staff will enter further discussions with PortsToronto and Transport Canada on an airport master planning process that would set out a clear and transparent framework to guide an upcoming public process. City staff will report back on these matters in 2025.

Summary from the report (July 5, 2024) from the General Manager, Toronto Water:
\r\n\r\n
At its meeting on April 9, 2024, the Executive Committee requested that Infrastructure Services divisions provide updates regarding service standards and opportunities for improving responses and response times to service requests.
\r\n\r\n
In response to this request, Toronto Water has prepared a brief presentation that highlights the Division's strategic customer service objectives, Key Performance Indicators used to monitor progress towards these goals and provides a discussion of Toronto Water's most frequently requested service, \"Sewer Line Block Service,\" as well as work conducted to improve the response service standard.

The City's actual capital spending through the first six months of 2024 is $1.681 billion or 26.6% of the 2024 Approved Capital Budget. This is slightly better than prior year’s experience. The projected year-end spending rate is 81.8% based on estimates provided by City Programs and Agencies, which is largely in line with last year’s projection at the same reporting period. Capital spending will continue to be reviewed with updates provided in future variance reports that will benefit from actual experience in the months where capital expenditures are more intense. As more actual delivery materialized over the course of the year, the Programs and Agencies will provide updated spending projections.

\r\n
As detailed in Table 1 above, for the six-month period, Tax-Supported Operations experienced a favourable net variance of $246.7 million. A favourable net variance is projected at year-end of $138.3 million. These figures are adjusted for Toronto Building, City Planning, which have surplus allocated to reserves by legislation or reserve draws if a deficit is experienced. It is important to note that the financial information presented is as of June 30, which is a snapshot in time and the year-end projection is based on current and expected future activities as known and anticipated as at June 30, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Of the $138.3 million year-end net favourable variance, $117.0 million or 84.6% of the overall variance can be attributed to net favourable variances arising from the following three key drivers:
\r\n\r\n
-Toronto Shelter and Support Services whose expenditures are projected to be $34.6 million lower than budgeted primarily due to reduced costs for the temporary hotel program, driven by negotiated longer-term contracts;
\r\n\r\n
- Toronto Transit Commission (Conventional Service) that is projecting a $54.1 million positive net variance that is largely driven by increased passenger revenue from more leisure trips; and
\r\n\r\n
- Interest/Investment Income which are expected to be $28.3 million greater than budgeted earning estimates.
\r\n\r\n
- The remaining $21.3 million reflects the consolidated favourable variance projection across all other Divisions and Agencies.
\r\n\r\n
The funding provided by the New Deal struck with the Province of Ontario makes significant contributions towards transit and shelter related services. To date, $300.0 million has been received for Subway and Transit Safety, Recovery and Sustainable Operations, $200.0 million for Shelters and Homelessness, and $6.9 million related to operating costs of the Gardner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway, which are all reflected in the City’s year-to-date results.
\r\n\r\n
The City continues to advocate to the Federal government for ongoing funding for the refugee claimants in the City’s shelter system. Included in the 2024 Operating Budget, Toronto Shelter and Support Services has a budgeted recovery of $250 million in the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) funding. Projection to year-end indicates that the actual costs for refugee claimants in 2024 will increase above $250 million in 2024 due to ongoing refugee arrivals. The City has submitted claims for expenses incurred through June 30, 2024 and will submit reimbursement claims for the final yearend actuals costs. As of today, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has provided the City with $47.6 million in reimbursements for expenses incurred in 2024 Q1.
\r\n\r\n
Rate-Supported Programs:
\r\nRate-Supported Programs reported a favourable year-to-date net variance of $16.6 million. At year-end, Rate-Supported Programs are projecting a favourable variance of $38.1 million.

\r\n
While the favourable year-to-date variance was driven by all three programs, Toronto Parking Authority accounts for over fifty percent of the variance. The year-end projection of $41.1 million is the net revenue amount from the Toronto Parking Authority. Of this amount, a dividend of $30.8 million would be paid to the City based on the new Income Share Agreement, adopted by City Council on June 26, 2024 (https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.EX15.9), which changed the dividend contribution rate from 85 percent to 75 percent.
\r\n\r\n
The year-end projections forecast all programs seeing a favourable net variance with Toronto Water accounting for over fifty percent of the variance.
\r\n\r\n

The City receives monies from external parties and is obligated to set these monies aside for specific purposes outlined in Provincial legislation or third-party agreements. When these monies are received, they are recognized on the City's Statement of Financial Position as a liability called deferred revenue.

\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds established by Toronto City Council (Council) are key to support the financial management and operations of the City of Toronto (City). These funds are set aside to help offset future capital needs, future obligations such as employee expenses, fiscal pressures from ongoing programs and unforeseen costs or to offset revenue shortfalls, in order to minimize annual tax rate fluctuations.
\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds balances as at June 30, 2024 totaled $5,530.0 million, an increase of $238.3 million from December 31, 2023 ($5,291.7 million). This net increase is the result of deliberate contributions for capital investments in housing, transit, capital infrastructure, and vehicle and equipment replacement as authorized by Council. The majority of the City's reserve and reserve fund balances ($5,303.3 million, or 95.9%) are committed to future Council directed activities that include capital and operating expenditures and rate-based activities. Only the remaining balance of $226.7 million, or 4.1% of total reserves and reserve funds is uncommitted and available to respond to various unanticipated costs, stabilize funding sources, including the tax base, or for emergency purposes such as extreme weather events.
\r\n\r\n
Of the $5,303.3 million in committed reserve and reserve funds, there are approximately $15,720.8 million in future commitments and obligations against the existing reserves and discretionary reserve fund balances, which are consistent with Council approved plans over the 2024-2033 capital planning period. These commitments and obligations are nearly 3 times greater than the current reserve and discretionary reserve fund balances, requiring continued reserve contributions to support planned expenditures.

Recommendations include adoption of amended Direct Capital Loan and Loan Guarantee Policies (Appendices 1 and 2) which address financial due diligence assessments in support of new loan and loan guarantee requests, and ongoing financial monitoring of active loans and loan guarantees.
\r\n\r\n
The amended policies address eligibility in the same manner as previous policies, with City agencies and corporations eligible for direct capital loans for the purpose of contributing to the financing of a capital project which would create or enhance a municipal capital facility. Entities eligible for loan guarantees continue to be non-profit cultural and community organizations or recreational and sports-based organizations, each of which must have an existing financial relationship with the City.
\r\n\r\n
This report also recommends that investigation of requests for a new or extended loans or loan guarantees from eligible entities must include a financial due diligence assessment, to be undertaken by the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, who would also be responsible for ongoing financial monitoring of existing loans and loan guarantees.
\r\n\r\n
This report also provides regular annual update reporting on an existing portfolio of City direct loans, capital loan and line of credit guarantees. The portfolio of loans included in this report is separate and apart from other internal City loan programs (e.g., Home Ownership Assistance Program, Sustainable Energy Plan Financing Program) which are covered under other City policies.
\r\n\r\n
This report also seeks approval for the renewal of the line of credit guarantee issued by the City on behalf of Toronto Symphony Orchestra to its lender, in the amount of $5 million for a three-year period commencing on November 1, 2024 and expiring on October 31, 2027.
\r\n\r\n
Lastly, this report recommends the adoption of an amended repayment formula for Lakeshore Arena Corporation's Shareholder Capital Contribution, which better aligns with estimated annual cash flows and supports Lakeshore Arena Corporation in continuing to operate and make outstanding debt repayments while making Shareholder Capital Contribution repayments.
\r\n\r\n
As at December 31, 2023, the City had authorized line of credit guarantees amounting to approximately $5.995 million, provided capital loan guarantees for underlying loans of $72.5 million, and had outstanding direct loans of $43.4 million, as identified in this report and as outlined in more detail in Appendix 4.

\r\n\r\n
During the 2024 Budget process, City Council approved preliminary project funding to complete the schematic design phase of the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts (STLC) Redevelopment Project through the reallocation of $8.560 million in funding originally planned for State of Good Repair (SOGR) requirements within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
City Council also requested the President and Chief Executive Officer, TO Live, in consultation with the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM), to report back to Executive Committee on refined project cost estimates upon completion of a schematic design. Council also requested that reporting include the status of project financing strategies.
\r\n\r\n
In response to this request, at its meeting on September 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of TO Live received an update from the President and Chief Executive Officer, TO Live on the STLC Redevelopment Project (Item CT11.2), which included:
\r\n\r\n
- An updated project cost estimate of $421.467 million at the conceptual design stage, upon completion of the schematic design based on a Class D estimate (+/- 20%-30% accuracy).
\r\n\r\n
- Preliminary results of a building condition assessment that is nearly complete that estimates a total cost of between $70 to $80 million over the next 10 years to alternatively complete only SOGR and accessibility improvements to the venue.
\r\n\r\n
- A proposed updated financing strategy that includes:
\r\n\r\n
- $8.560 million in City funding already allocated to the project as part of the 2024 Budget process to complete the schematic design;
\r\n\r\n
- $41.903 million in further City funding originally planned for SOGR requirements within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan, with its use contingent on federal and provincial funding commitments towards the project; and
\r\n\r\n
- $371.0 million in project costs that are currently unfunded and would need to be secured from federal, provincial, third-party sponsorship, and further City contributions.
\r\n\r\n
- The report also seeks Council authority to advance with the detailed design phase of the project at an estimated cost of $8.779 million, to be to be funded by unspent funds from the $8.560 million noted for the schematic design and an additional draw of $7.0 million from originally planned SOGR funding within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
- If approved, completion of this next proposed phase would bring the total spent to advance the project to $15.560 million.
\r\n\r\n
TO Live staff have worked collaboratively with the City on this initiative and engaged staff from within Financial Planning, Economic Development and Culture and Corporate Real Estate Management in preparation of the report (CT11.2). However, City staff advised that they were not supportive of advancing the project further to detailed design or beyond given the project’s outstanding financial risks.
\r\n\r\n
- The financing strategy outlined in CT11.2 relies significantly on financial support from the federal and provincial governments, as well as a third-party fundraising, none of which TOLive and the City have yet to secure.
\r\n\r\n
- In the absence of full funding commitments from other orders of government and third-parties, there is a financial risk that the redevelopment project will not be funded and completed as planned.
\r\n\r\n
- Should funding not be secured from the other orders of government and third-parties, the project could not proceed without further City funding contributions. If the project does not proceed, any amount reallocated from the originally planned SOGR funding within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan will not be available to meet the immediate needs identified in for TO Live’s SOGR plan.
\r\n\r\n
- Furthermore, the City’s Financial Planning Division considered this project through the newly developed Capital Prioritization Framework, and the project scored poorly based on established evaluation criteria that aligns with Council priorities.
