Background:
Sub-committees, special committees, advisory committees and task forces, may be established under City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27, Council Procedures, Section 108, as follows:
Ҥ 27-108. Establishment of special committee, task force or advisory committee.
(A) A special committee, task force or advisory committee may be established by the Council in accordance with Subsection C.
(B) A sub-committee of a standing committee, consisting of members of the Committee only, may also be established by a standing committee, in accordance with Subsection C.
(C) Any recommendation to establish a special committee, task force, advisory committee or sub-committee shall include terms of reference outlining: (1) The matters to be dealt with.
(2) A reporting date and a sunset date, beyond which Council approval is required for its continuation. Toronto City Council4 Economic Development and Parks Committee July 30, 31 and August 1, 2002 Report No. 7, Clause No. 17
(3) The membership. (4) The standing committee to which the special committee, task force, advisory committee or sub-committee shall report to. (5) The reason why the work cannot be undertaken by an existing standing committee. (6) Identification of the staff and other resources required to support the work of the special committee, advisory committee, task force or sub-committee, and a determination that they are available within existing resources. (D) No further sub-groups of special committees or sub-committees referred to in Subsections A and B above shall be established without approval by the Council or the standing committee, as appropriate.”
Comments:
Now that the Standing Committees have been re-appointed for the second half of Council’s term, it is appropriate that each review the sub-committees, special committees, advisory committees and task forces reporting to it that were established or re-established since December 2000, and determine which should be continued. Each Standing Committee should also review the terms of reference information required when establishing advisory bodies under Council Procedures Section 108, including composition, mandate and sunset date, and determine any information or amendments required.
Each Standing Committee can re-establish and re-appoint true sub-committees with membership consisting exclusively of members of the Standing Committee to which it reports. For the remaining special committees, advisory committees and task forces, City Council may decide whether to continue or disband them, and make necessary changes, on recommendation of the relevant Standing Committee. As required under Council Procedures Section 106, Members will be canvassed for their interest in being appointed to those committees Council re-establishes, and the Clerk will submit a report to the Striking Committee to recommend to Council the appointment of Members to the advisory committees.
The Chief Administrative Officer, the Commissioners of Corporate Services, Community and Neighbourhood Services, Economic Development, Culture and Tourism, Urban Development Services and Works and Emergency Services, and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have reviewed the committees in their department’s program area and provided their recommendations as to which committees to disband and which to continue, as well as needed information and suggested changes to composition, terms of reference, sunset and reporting dates, resources, and why the work cannot be undertaken by another body.
The following attachments contain information about each committee to assist in the review:
Appendix I: Highlights staff recommendations regarding the re-establishment or disbandment of committees reporting to the Economic Development and Parks Committee, and suggested amendments to the terms of reference required under Council Procedures Section 108, including membership, mandate, and sunset date.

Each Standing Committee will receive information on those committees which report to it. A listing of all committees will be e-mailed to each Councillor’s office and appropriate City officials, and a copy will be provided to each Standing Committee Administrator for reference.
Conclusions:
This report provides information to assist the Economic Development and Parks Committee in making appropriate recommendations to City Council with respect to its sub-committees, and special committees, advisory committees and task forces that report to it. It is recommended that the Economic Development and Parks Committee review those sub-committees and advisory bodies that report to it and decide or recommend to Council the continuation of each sub-committee or advisory body, as well as any necessary amendments to the terms of reference.
