“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

 

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.
