Background:

Section 204 of the Municipal Act requires that Council appoint members to the Boards of Management of each Business Improvement Area (BIA) for a term expiring at the end of the term of the Council making the appointments.

Persons qualified to sit on a Board of Management include commercial and industrial property owners and tenants within the BIA, or other persons who may be nominated by an owner or tenant. Each of the nominees set out in Attachment No. 1 meets the requirements for membership, as set out in Section 204 of the Municipal Act.

Chapter 19 of the Municipal Code sets out the number of members to sit on each Board and the number of members required for quorum.

Comments:

The Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) set out below require changes to their Boards of Management to delete members who are no longer able to serve and, in some cases, to allow for new members to take their place:

Bloordale Village Junction Gardens Kennedy Road Lakeshore Village The Kingsway West Queen West Wychwood Heights Yonge Lawrence Village York Eglinton

Attachment No. 1 to this report sets out the list of members to be added or deleted.

Conclusions:

In accordance with the Municipal Act and Municipal Code, Council must appoint members to the Boards of Management of each BIA. The names put forward in this report were duly nominated by the respective BIA Boards of Management.

Therefore, it is recommended that Council appoint the nominees to the Boards of Management as set out in Attachment No. 1, and the number of Board Members set out in the Municipal Code (Attachment 2) be amended accordingly.
