BILL 206 - PROPOSED MODEL RESOLUTION (11.0)
Presentation
Ms. Sharon Laing, Director, Human Resources provided detail regarding OMERS
Bill 206. It was noted that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)
opposes the proposed legislation.
Moved by Councillor A. Chiu
Seconded by Councillor G. McKelvey
That the presentation by the Director, Human Resources, regarding OMERS Bill 206 and the
proposed model resolution, be received;
And that the following resolution be endorsed
by Council:
“Whereas the provincial Standing
Committee on General Government is currently debating Bill 206, An Act to revise the Ontario
Municipal Employees Retirement System Act; and
Whereas the OMERS pension fund is
currently equal to approximately 8% of Ontario’s annual GDP; and
Whereas the OMERS pension fund
serves approximately 900 employers and 355,000 diverse employee groups
including: current and former employees of municipal governments; school
boards; libraries; police and fire departments; children’s aid societies; and,
electricity distribution companies; and
Whereas Ontario’s municipalities and their
employees depend on the prudent management of the $36 Billion plan and to
ensure that employees and employers are paying for benefits they can afford;
and
Whereas OMERS employer and
employee members are facing an increase in OMERS contributions in 2006 of
approximately 9% as a result of a significant deficit in the OMERS fund; and
Whereas the Bill includes
significant, potentially costly and unnecessary changes to the governance
structure of OMERS including a Sponsors Corporation structured to be governed
by arbitration; and
Whereas the Bill would permit the
creation of expensive supplementary plans to provide optional enhanced benefits
that will impose new collective bargaining obligations on municipalities, the
operating costs of which cannot yet be fully assessed; and
Whereas the Province has a
responsibility to study the potential impact of the changes it is proposing and
to share the results with employers and employee groups; and
Whereas AMO and others have urged
the government to consider the potential implications of Bill 206 and to ensure
the proposed policy changes protect the interests of employers, employees and
taxpayers; and
Whereas the Government is moving
in haste with a Bill, which in its current form raises significant technical,
public policy and economic issues;
Therefore be it
resolved that the Town of Markham does not support Bill 206, and requests that the
Government of Ontario reconsider the advisability of proceeding with Bill 206
in its current form; and
Further be it
resolved that Tony Wong, MPP, Markham, Mario Racco, MPP, Thornhill, and Frank Klees,
MPP, Oak Ridges, the Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister of Municipal Affairs
and Housing, the Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, and the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario be advised that this Council does not
support proposed changes to the OMERS pension fund contained in Bill 206.”

7. BILL
123, THE TRANSPARENCY IN PUBLIC
MATTERS ACT, 2005 (16.0 &
13.2 & 13.12.1)
Report
Moved by Councillor G. McKelvey
Seconded by Councillor A. Chiu
Whereas Bill 123, the
Transparency in Public Matters Act, 2005, is a private member’s bill currently
before the Ontario Legislature;
And Whereas the Association of
Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO)
fully supports openness, accountability and transparency in the conduct of
public business, including municipal business;
And Whereas AMCTO has concerns
about the Bill which were presented to the Standing Committee on Regulations
and Private Bills in September 2005 in a position paper adopted in February
2005;
And Whereas the AMCTO
presentation pointed out the overlap of the provisions in Bill 123 with the
notice, meeting and minute provisions of the Municipal Act that, in conjunction
with the electoral process, already support openness and accountability in
local government;
And Whereas not only will Bill
123 result in additional costs, it will create two competing sets of statutory
rules for conducting municipal meetings and two parallel systems for
challenging council decisions on procedural grounds;
And Whereas the Town of Markham has consistently promoted and
conducted open meetings in accordance with the existing Municipal Act;
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved
that the Town of Markham endorse the position of the
Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, the
highlights of which are as follows:
·
municipalities should be removed from the list of public bodies subject
to Bill 123, the Transparency in Public Matters Act, 2005;
·
the proposed Act contradicts the provincial government’s stated
recognition of municipalities as “responsible and accountable governments” as
set out in Section 2 of the Municipal Act, 2001;
·
the introduction of an additional piece of legislation governing the way
in which municipalities conduct their business would create confusion for
municipal politicians and staff and the members of the public whom they serve;
and
·
the proposed Act could undermine the decision-making-process in
communities across Ontario.
