Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

Background:

Section 220 of the Municipal Act requires that Council appoint members of the BIA Boards of Management for a term expiring at the end of the term of the Council making the appointments. Accordingly, as long as the members continue to qualify, the nominees listed in Attachment No. 1 shall expire on November 30, 2003, or as soon thereafter as successors are appointed. Each of the nominees named meets the requirements for membership set out in Section 220 of the Municipal Act.

The BIAs located in the former City of Toronto are subject to Chapter 20 of the Municipal Code entitled “Business Improvement Areas”. Schedule “A” to Chapter 20, “Individual Boards of Management of the former City of Toronto” must be amended to reflect the new appointments made pursuant to this report.

Comments:

Council enacted the new Liberty Village BIA By-law No. 34-2001 at its meeting of February 1, 2001. This by-law was appealed by property owners and business operators to the Municipal Board (OMB). In its August 1, 2001, decision to uphold By-law No. 34-2001, the OMB is satisfied that the By-law is consistent with the principles of the relevant legislation affecting BIAs. Following the OMB’s decision the Liberty Village BIA held its inaugural annual general meeting on October 10, 2001, to nominate Board of Management members and approve its 2002 budget. Conclusions:

It is recommended that Council appoint the new Liberty Village Business Improvement Area Board of Management nominees as set out in Attachment No. 1 to this report.
