In Toronto, residents live in daily sight of the world’s traditions, hearing its languages, and experiencing its flavours. People feel comfortable and celebrated in Toronto. It’s no wonder that it’s a mecca for the world’s talent, creativity, technology, and peoples. Behind this quality of life however is a City budget. An operating budget to decide the costs for the day-to-day operation, and a capital budget for the future quality of life of its inhabitants. The Mayor, residents, Councillors, and City staff work together to prioritize what’s important and above all - fair. “The Mayor, residents, Councillors, and City staff work together to prioritize what’s important and above all - fair.” Despite passing an approved budget, Toronto, and cities across North America are faced with added responsibilities for services within their boundaries. For years the City of Toronto has done its best to produce a budget that exercises prudent fiscal processes in tandem with new found efficiences, and fair cost-measures. It is however, understood that in Toronto’s case much of it’s decision-making powers still reside with higher orders of government, the provincial and federal governments. In early 2004, the Mayor embarked on a series of consultations with Toronto’s people in various neighbourhoods with the intent of hearing what makes Toronto great, what challenges are faced, and what advice do residents have for City Council as it discusses the 2004 budget. "Listening to Toronto" was the first in its kind whereby the mayor and residents had a platform to discuss, prioritize and share ideas on ways to maintain the level of service in the city. This Operating and Capital Budget Summary profiles the City’s operating and capital budget as voted into action by City Council and is a reflection of what’s important to Torontonians as brought forward by Listening to Toronto. This is the summary for the quality of life that provides for our diversity, natural environment, neighbourhoods, transit, safety, and the world outside our doorstep. 2004 Operating & Capital Budget Summary 2 Toronto at a Glance Council-Committee Structure and Mandates Citizens Council Mayor David Miller 44 Councillors Striking Committee Nominating Committee Audit Committee (7 members) (8 members) (5 members) Policy & Administration Community Economic Planning & Works Community Finance Committee Services Development Transportation Committee Council Committee (8 members) Committee & Parks Committee (8 members) (10 members) (8 members) Committee (8 members) Toronto East York (8 members) Scarborough Midtown North York Humber York Etobicoke labour relations human resources social economic city-wide planning waste mgmt. development personnel matters labour relations development development & building water control strategic plan employment equity social services tourism policy transportation sewer local cross-departmental & human rights shelter, housing arts policies & plans road & traffic transportation matters purchasing & support culture by-law operations matters financial priorities information tech. children’s services heritage compliance/ road allowances local & fiscal policies real estate seniors’ services parks & licensing & related issues recreation capital & operating facilities mgmt. ambulance recreation matters estimates communications fire suppression special events neighbourhood in-year variances matters assessment & tax policies corporate intergovernmental relations corporate international activities Budget Advisory Committee (7 members) Assists Policy & Finance Ctte. by: co-ordinating preparation of capital & operating estimates Note: With the exception of the Board of Health, which reports directly to Council, Special Purpose reviewing matters Bodies report through Policy & Finance Committee for budget purposes and through the standing with significant committee with responsibility for the relevant policy field for all other matters. impact on future budgets, as Reference should be made to the Municipal Code - Chapter 27, Council Procedures, for the specific determined by responsibilities of each committee.
