CARRIED _________________________________________ 107 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#A55/13 - TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY STRATEGIC PLAN - 2013 Endorsement of Building The Living City, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Strategic Plan: 2013-2022. Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff has developed an update to the TRCA Strategic Plan, has presented the plan, Building The Living City, to the Authority at the Annual Authority Meeting in February of this year and has provided opportunity for review and discussion by the members including at the March Authority meeting; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the final 2013-2022 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Strategic Plan be endorsed by the Authority; THAT staff be directed to develop and publish a formal document for internal and external communication of the Strategic Plan; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to implement the Strategic Plan. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #1/13, held on February 22, 2013, staff presented a draft of Building The Living City, the 2013-2022 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Strategic Plan. Building The Living City builds on Moving Toward The Living City, the previous TRCA strategic plan that was approved by the Authority in 2006. It sets out TRCA strategic directions for the next decade. Members of the Authority were provided the opportunity to discuss the Strategic Plan and provide feedback at Authority Meeting #2/13, held on March 22, 2013. More than seventy TRCA staff members participated directly in the development of the plan, which included a review of TRCA’s current programs and the priorities of municipalities, as well as consultation with municipal staff and outside experts. Concurrent to its review by Authority Members, Building The Living City was presented to TRCA staff in two town hall sessions chaired by Brian Denney in which the draft plan was discussed and staff were invited to provide comment. These sessions confirmed that staff largely supports the strategic directions in Building The Living City and will continue to provide ideas and energy for its implementation. Building on the success of the staff engagement process to develop the Strategic Plan, it is proposed that staff from across the organization work together to begin putting the Plan into practice immediately and ensure that the Plan is reflected in the 2014 TRCA budget, detailed business plans and program planning. Over time, staff will monitor, evaluate and report on TRCA's actions internally and to our partners and will adjust TRCA's approach as required to reflect lessons learned and new information, including a complete review of the Strategic Plan within five years. 108 RATIONALE The draft of Building The Living City, the 2013-2022 TRCA Strategic Plan, has now been reviewed and discussed by the Members of the Authority and by TRCA staff. Feedback has confirmed that the strategic directions outlined in the Plan are consistent with TRCA’s core principles, with the priorities of our municipal partners, and with the evolving goal of sustainability in the Toronto region. The implementation of the strategic plan over the next ten years will: focus activity on critical strategic issues and priorities; align all parts of the organization around common goals; increase efficiency, and reduce redundancy and conflict; reveal opportunities to align TRCA strategies with those of municipal and other partners. FINANCIAL DETAILS Implementation of this plan could certainly be accelerated by the allocation of additional financial resources but staff is sensitive to the fiscal realities of TRCA's municipal and other partners. Beginning with the 2014 TRCA budget, negotiations will include reference to the need to execute the strategies described in the plan. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Adopt TRCA 2013 - 2022 Strategic Plan, Building The Living City. Develop and publish formal document for communication of the plan. Integrate strategies into 2014 TRCA business planning process. Align 2014 budget preparations with the strategies in the Plan. Develop monitoring and reporting processes to assess effectiveness of implementation. Review the full plan in five years, or earlier with cause to do so.
