Whereas a number of reports
pertaining to the proposed GTA Centre Arena was commissioned by the City of
Markham; and,
Whereas these reports
continue to be unavailable for Markham Residents to review; and,
Whereas the release of these
reports would not divulge any information on issues that warrant being kept
confidential; and,
Whereas all meetings held at
Markham Council could be public. The
Municipal Act does not mandate Council to go in camera for any reason other
than a request within the Freedom of Information;
Now therefore be it

Privacy Commission of Ontario)

Ruling on the proposed motion to be out of order:
Mayor Frank Scarpitti ruled the
proposed motion titled "Make all reports related
to the GTA Arena public, including the scope of work asked for from each
consultant" to be out of order as it contravenes with Municipal Freedom of
Information & Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) and City of Markham's
Council Code of Conduct. There was no challenge to this
ruling from Members of Council.
Staff
Presentation:
