Presentation by Janice Baker, Chief Administrative Officer; Gary Kent, Chief Financial Officer and Commissioner of Corporate Services; Sean Baird, Commissioner of Human Services; and Kealy Dedman, Commissioner of Public Works
(Related to 10.2 to 10.7 inclusive)

  • Resolution Number2022-827

    Seconded by Councillor Crombie and Councillor Brown

    1. That the staff comments and recommendations to the Province of Ontario as contained in and appended to the report of the Chief Administrative Officer, listed on the December 8, 2022 Regional Council agenda titled “Bill 23 – ‘More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022’ and Implications for the Region of Peel” be endorsed; and
    2. That staff be authorized to prepare and submit to the Province of Ontario any additional comments on Bill 23 and any amending bills or related regulations, as necessary; and
    3. That the Regional Chair, on behalf of Regional Council, write to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to request that the Province of Ontario create a municipal compensation fund to compensate the Region of Peel and its local municipalities in order that they be made whole as a result of the impacts of Bill 23 on municipal growth funding revenues and expenditures; and
    4. That copies of this report be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Members of Provincial Parliament within the Region of Peel, the City of Brampton, the Town of Caledon and the City of Mississauga; and
    5. That staff report back to Regional Council in January 2023 providing further details regarding the implications of Bill 23 and alternative financing options, with respect to Regional infrastructure projects.
    Carried

Janice Baker, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), provided an overview of Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, including background information and key concerns and themes for the Region of Peel.

Gary Kent, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Commissioner of Corporate Services, provided an overview of financial implications for the Region of Peel regarding delivery of growth-related services.

Sean Baird, Commissioner of Human Services, provided an overview of Bill 23’s impact on housing services and the Region’s affordable housing developments.

Kealy Dedman, Commissioner of Public Works, provided an overview of impacts on land use planning roles and responsibilities; and implications regarding infrastructure planning and delivery.

The CAO advised that next steps include additional, ongoing Bill 23 related consultation; monitoring of the in-force date for Bill 23’s key provisions; and work with the Province of Ontario to ensure sufficient funding to offset revenue losses and increased costs.

Members of Regional Council discussed and asked questions regarding: opportunities for discussions between provincial, regional and local staff to determine further details and timelines; lack of pre-consultation from the provincial government; the misconception that developer savings related to reduced development charges will be passed on to home buyers; the effect of market conditions, supply issues, and interest rates on housing costs; the need to re-evaluate municipal revenue sources; Bill 23’s lack of direction regarding how municipalities are to continue to provide infrastructure to support growth with reduced development charges; the need for more than 1.5 million new homes in Ontario to address immigration and population growth; concern that the commitment from the Province to provide municipalities with any shortfalls Bill 23 causes to funding housing enabling infrastructure, is dependent on local municipalities meeting the housing unit forecasts included in Bill 23; complexity of planning coordination between levels of government; the option to request that developers build and pay for the infrastructure required to support new housing development; and, the need to communicate the financial implications of Bill 23 to the public.

In response to a request from Councillor Brown to provide a list of specific projects, by municipality, that could be disrupted by Bill 23 (including for example the number of houses units, police or fire facilities or infrastructure projects that could be jeopardized), the Chief Administrative Officer advised that a report on implications of Bill 23 on provision of growth related infrastructure and new options for funding infrastructure projects  would come back to Regional Council in January 2023.

    Seconded byCouncillor Medeiros

    Whereas the Regional Council Policies and Procedures Committee received a staff report 2022-04-21 and recommended it to Regional Council, deleting the positions of Sectional Chairs and Vice-Chairs “in consideration of the smooth running of virtual meetings” during the pandemic;

    And whereas, the long standing roles of Sectional Chair and Vice-Chair provided leadership opportunities to Councillors with specific interests and expertise as well as an opportunity to enjoy more in depth knowledge of their subject;

    And whereas, the 2022 Municipal Election has seen a significant number of new Regional Councillors as well as a return to more In-Person Regional Council and possibly Regional Committee meetings;

    Now therefore be it resolved:

    1. That the positions of Regional Council Sectional Chairs and Vice Chairs be reinstated; and
    2. That the membership of the Interim Period Approvals Committee be comprised of the Regional Council Section Chairs and Vice-Chairs; and
    3. That Section Chair and Vice-Chair positions be reviewed at the mid-term of this Regional Council; and
    4. That a by-law to amend the Procedure By-law to reflect the decision of Council on this matter be presented for enactment.

Councillor Parrish stated that Sectional Chairs and Vice-Chairs had been eliminated for virtual meetings, however as Members are now able to attend in person, she proposed that the positions be reinstated as they provide a good back up for the Regional Chair; opportunities for Councillors with a particular interest; and, the positions worked well in previous years.

Councillor Parrish noted that the Sectional Chairs and Vice-Chairs could be selected at the next Regional Council meeting.
