D - 4 Carol Horvat, Executive Assistant to the Mayor, City of Mississauga,
forwarding the following two resolutions arising from the GTA Mayors and
Regional Chairs Meeting of January 17, 2014, regarding the 2013 Ice
Storm:
Resolution #1
“WHEREAS on December 22, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and other
parts of the Province of Ontario suffered an extreme weather event;
AND WHEREAS during this event, a severe ice storm affected many of
the municipalities in the GTA, resulting in loss of electricity, road and
sidewalk blockages, thousands of downed and damaged trees, and
widespread disruption to municipal services and the lives of residents and
the operations of businesses;
AND WHEREAS those municipalities have incurred significant costs to
respond to the immediate public safety issues;
AND WHEREAS those municipalities are facing a costly and lengthy
recovery period to deal with the debris and damage to the tree canopy as
a consequence of the ice storm;
AND WHEREAS many municipalities through the Province have applied
to the Province for financial assistance through ODRAP;
AND WHEREAS there is concern that the ODRAP program does not
adequately recognize and respond to the full cost of extreme weather
events, especially in a time where extreme weather is expected to be
more frequent and intense due to the impacts of climate change;
AND WHEREAS on January 17 in response to the storm, the GTA Mayors
and Chairs came together in a co-ordinated approach to ask for financial
assistance;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The Provincial and Federal governments share equally in this disaster
with municipalities by each funding 1/3 of the full cost of response and
ongoing recovery from the ice storm for affected municipalities.
2. THAT the Province and Federal governments treat all applicable
municipalities equally and equitably.
3. THAT the Provincial and Federal governments recognize the urgency
of this matter and provide a response by March 1, 2014.
Council Meeting Minutes - 7 - January 27, 2014
4. THAT this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Prime
Minister of Canada, the local Members of Provincial Parliament and
Members of Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario
and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.”
Resolution #2
“THAT the Provincial and Federal governments establish new programs
and expand existing programs to address disaster mitigation involving
forestry, erosion control, winter storms, tree canopy and other severe
storm events, that reflect the reality of climate change and such programs
to include funding for rehabilitation of municipal infrastructure to mitigate
this and future environmental and storm event impacts.
THAT this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Prime Minister
of Canada, the local Members of Provincial Parliament and Members of
Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities.”
Resolution #C-035-14
Moved by Councillor Traill, seconded by Councillor Hooper
THAT the foregoing resolutions of the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs regarding
the 2013 ice storm be endorsed.
“CARRIED”
D - 5 Randy Pettapiece, MPP, Perth-Wellington, expressing concern that rising
municipal insurance premiums must be reined in, and for years,
municipalities have requested the Province to address joint and several
liability as municipalities can be liable for massive damage awards even if
they are deemed just one percent responsible; suggesting that it is unfair
and unrealistic for the Province to allow this situation to continue and the
time has come to impress upon the government that it must take
meaningful action by June, before the legislature breaks for the summer;
advising he has recently introduced the following private member’s
resolution in the Ontario legislature:
“THAT, in the opinion of this House, the government should protect
taxpayers from higher property taxes by implementing a comprehensive,
long-term solution to reform joint and several liability insurance for
municipalities by no later than June 2014, addressing the alarming rise in
insurance premiums due to rising litigation and claim costs.”; and
encouraging Council to pass a formal resolution if they support the intent
of his private member’s resolution.

Resolution #C-036-14
Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Traill
