7.         MOTIONS

 

(1)        PAVING OF RESIDENTIAL BACKYARDS (10.0)

 

Moved by Councillor Valerie Burke

Seconded by Councillor Karen Rea

 

Whereas the paving of residential backyards in the City of Markham is increasing; and,

 

Whereas increased paving contributes to issues relating to stormwater runoff such as flooding, erosion and poor water quality; and,

 

Whereas backyards adjacent to ravines are of particular concern due the sensitivity of the watershed and ecosystem; and,

 

Whereas increased pavement contributes to heat-island effect; and,

 

Whereas trees are removed to facilitate the installation of pavement;

 

Now therefore be it resolved:

 

1)         That City staff report back about ways to prevent further paving of residential backyards.

 

Carried by a recorded vote (9:2)

8.         NOTICES OF MOTIONS

 

(1)        GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR YORK REGION
            AND MUNICIPALITIES (13.4)

            Background

 

Moved by Regional Councillor Jim Jones

Seconded by Regional Councillor Nirmala Armstrong

 

Whereas the Region of York was formed in January 1971, more than 45 years ago from the former County of York; and

 

Whereas the number and boundaries of municipalities need to be studied to determine the best ways to deliver services to residents and businesses; and

 

Whereas watershed planning is important to the balance of our Great Lakes, we should recognize the topography of lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine as a real boundary between Lake Ontario Watershed and Lake Huron Watershed; and

 

Whereas the northern boundary between the City of Markham and the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville, and the northern boundary between the City of Vaughan and the Town of King is not close to the top of the Oak Ridge Moraine, but is the logical urban boundary; and

 

Whereas the northern boundary of Richmond Hill is where it should be from a watershed planning perspective; and

 

Whereas the Lake Ontario Based York Durham Sewer and the Lake Ontario Water System extend through the Oak Ridges Moraine to service Aurora, Newmarket and East Gwillimbury in the Lake Huron Watershed; and

 

Whereas it is time to review all services within York Region including regional government boundaries, municipal boundaries, number of municipalities, representation, school boards and the delivery of services; and

 

Now therefore be it resolved:

 

1)         That a meeting of the staff and Councils of the City of Markham, the City of Vaughan and the Town of Richmond Hill be convened, hosted by Markham Mayor Scarpitti, to discuss these issues; and

 

2)         That a task force be created made up of Mayors, Regional Councillors and Senior Staff from the three southern municipalities to study these issues; and,


 

3)         That the Oak Ridges Moraine be used as the boundary rather than roads, thus bringing a large portion of Whitchurch Stouffville into the City of Markham, and a large portion of the Town of King into the City of Vaughan. Richmond Hill’s northern boundary is already the crest of the Oak Ridges Moraine; and

 

4)         That a meeting of the three southern municipalities be held with the MPPs from York Region and the Minister of Municipal Affairs to determine how Provincial funding can be made; and,

 

5)         That the CAOs and or City Managers of the City of Markham, the City of Vaughan and the Town of Richmond Hill be requested to draft a terms of reference for a FEASIBILITY STUDY to examine what should be included in any re-organization report; and further,

 

6)         That if approved, the report should outline the steps to be taken, a proposed budget and a time-line for implementation, recognizing that time is of the essence due to the pending elections in 2018.

 

            Note:    This motion will be listed on the November 15, 2016 Council agenda for consideration.
