BIA Board Appointments Page 13 of 15 DECISION HISTORY
According to Municipal Code Chapter 19, appointments to BIA Boards of Management expire with the term of Council. In an election year, BIAs are required to elect nominees for appointment for the next Board of Management term at an Annual General Meeting (AGM).
As of the date of this report, forty-five (45) BIAs within the Toronto and East York Community Council area have held Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and elected Boards of Management for the 2019-2022 Council term. Toronto and East York Community Council has authority to appoint these nominees.
The nominees listed in Recommendation 1 meet the requirements for membership of a BIA Board as set out in Chapter 19 of the Municipal Code.
In some cases, BIAs have voted to alter the size of their Board of Management. Amendments are required to Schedule A of Municipal Code Chapter 19, to update the number of directors of each BIA Board of Management.
COMMENTS
There are fifty-five (55) BIAs within the geographic area of the Toronto and East York Community Council. To date, forty-five (45) BIAs have held their 2018 Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and elected directors to their Boards of Management. Applications for Nomination have been provided to the BIA Office for each of the nominees in accordance with the Municipal Code.
Of the remaining ten (10) BIAs, nine (9) will be included in a subsequent report and one (1), Historic Queen East, is inactive.
Council members are appointed by right-of-office to the boards of BIAs in their wards.
BIA Board Appointments Page 14 of 15 In some instances the BIA membership approved a Board size that is greater than the number eligible nominees elected, resulting in a vacant position. The appointments to these vacant positions will be addressed in subsequent reports.
