DATE OF MEETING: |
November 8, 2004 |
|
|
|
|
SUBJECT: |
Property Standards By-law |
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT
a by-law be presented to amend By-Law 248-1999, Property Standards By-Law, as
amended, to provide for a composition of five (5) and a quorum of three (3);
AND
THAT the Terms of Reference of the Property Standards Committee be amended accordingly.
PURPOSE:
To increase the membership of the Property
Standards Committee from three (3) to five (5) residents, and to increase the
quorum from two (2) to three (3) which would be the majority
of the Committee and would bring it in line with current practice.
BACKGROUND:
The Property Standards Committee was
established pursuant to Section 15.6 of the Building Code Act, 1992 and Town of
Markham By-law 248-1999. The By-law and
Terms of Reference currently state that the membership is to be three persons,
and also that two persons would constitute a quorum.
In the recent past, Council has been appointing
five persons, rather than three, to the Committee, and this number has been
working very well. Also, the Committee
has determined that quorum should be confirmed as three, (rather than two),
which would align its operation with the quorum requirement of the Town's
Procedural By-law.
BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED
AND AFFECTED:
The Property Standards Committee supports this
recommendation.
