That the following proposed AMO Motion regarding Joint and Several Liability be referred to the March 2, 2022 City Council meeting for consideration:

Whereas municipal governments provide essential services to the residents and businesses in their communities; and

Whereas the ability to provide those services is negatively impacted by exponentially rising insurance costs; and

Whereas one driver of rising insurance costs is the legal principle of ‘joint and several liability,’ which assigns disproportionate liability to municipalities for an incident relative to their responsibility for it; and

Whereas, the Government of Ontario has the authority and responsibility for the legal framework of ‘joint and several liability;’ and

Whereas the Premier of Ontario committed to review the issue in 2018 with a view to helping municipal governments manage their risks and costs; and

Whereas the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on behalf of municipal governments has provided recommendations in 2019 through its submission to the Attorney General of Ontario titled: Towards a Reasonable Balance – Addressing Growing Municipal Liability and Insurance Costs to align municipal liability with the proportionate responsibility for incidents and capping awards;

Therefore Be It Resolved:

1. That the City of Brampton does hereby support and endorse AMO’s recommendations to the Provincial Government, as follows:

1. The provincial government adopt a model of full proportionate liability to replace joint and several liability.

2. Implement enhancements to the existing limitations period including the continued applicability of the existing 10-day rule on slip and fall cases given recent judicial interpretations, and whether a 1-year limitation period may be beneficial.

3. Implement a cap for economic loss awards.

4. Increase the catastrophic impairment default benefit limit to $2 million and increase the third-party liability coverage to $2 million in government regulated automobile insurance plans.

5. Assess and implement additional measures which would support lower premiums or alternatives to the provision of insurance services by other entities such as non-profit insurance reciprocals.

6. Compel the insurance industry to supply all necessary financial evidence including premiums, claims, and deductible limit changes which support its, and municipal arguments as to the fiscal impact of joint and several liability.

7. Establish a provincial and municipal working group to consider the above and put forward recommendations to the Attorney General.”; and

2. That the City of Brampton does hereby call on the Attorney General of Ontario to work with municipal governments to put forward a plan of action to address “joint and several liability” before the end of the government’s current term so that municipalities can continue to offer high quality services to their communities; and

3. That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to all Brampton MPPs for their awareness and support, as well as the Region of Peel, City of Mississauga and Town of Caledon, seeking similar resolutions of support and endorsement.

  C051-2022
  Moved by Regional Councillor Dhillon
  Seconded by City Councillor Williams

  Whereas Section 242 of the Municipal Act, 2001, sets out the preconditions and powers for a Member of Council to act in place of the Mayor with respect to presiding at meetings:

  Absence of head

  242 A municipality may, by by-law or resolution, appoint a member of the council to act in the place of the head of council or other member of council designated to preside at meetings in the municipality’s procedure by-law when the head of council or designated member is absent or refuses to act or the office is vacant, and while so acting such member has all the powers and duties of the head of council or designated member, as the case may be, with respect to the role of presiding at meetings;

  Whereas many municipalities include a position of Deputy Mayor(s) to fulfil such a role as contemplated in the legislation;

  Whereas the City of Brampton Procedure By-law 160-2004 identifies an Acting Mayor position, fulfilled through a pre-defined rotating monthly roster including all Councillors, to act in the event the Mayor is unavailable and who shall have all the powers and duties of the Mayor, with respect to the role of presiding at meetings;

  Whereas a Civic Events Protocol (GOV-160) exists to set out the role of the Mayor for certain ceremonial and civic event responsibilities, and provisions for employing an Acting Mayor or such other Councillors when the Mayor is unavailable;

  1. That the position of Deputy Mayor be established to act in the absence of the Mayor, with respect to the role of presiding at Council and other Committee meetings where the Mayor is the Chair;

  2. That the position be divided into two, reflecting the East and West portions of the City;

Joint and Several Liability

The following motion was considered.

• C053-2022
  Moved by City Councillor Singh
  Seconded by Regional Councillor Vicente

  Whereas municipal governments provide essential services to the residents and businesses in their communities; and

  Whereas the ability to provide those services is negatively impacted by exponentially rising insurance costs; and

  Whereas one driver of rising insurance costs is the legal principle of ‘joint and several liability,’ which assigns disproportionate liability to municipalities for an incident relative to their responsibility for it; and

  Whereas, the Government of Ontario has the authority and responsibility for the legal framework of ‘joint and several liability; and

  Whereas the Premier of Ontario committed to review the issue in 2018 with a view to helping municipal governments manage their risks and costs; and

  Whereas the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on behalf of municipal governments has provided recommendations in 2019 through its submission to the Attorney General of Ontario titled: Towards a Reasonable Balance – Addressing Growing Municipal Liability and Insurance Costs to align municipal liability with the proportionate responsibility for incidents and capping awards;

  Therefore Be It Resolved:

  1. That the City of Brampton does hereby support and endorse AMO’s recommendations to the Provincial Government, as follows:

  1. The provincial government adopt a model of full proportionate liability to replace joint and several liability.

  2. Implement enhancements to the existing limitations period including the continued applicability of the existing 10-day rule on slip and fall cases given recent judicial interpretations, and whether a 1-year limitation period may be beneficial.

  3. Implement a cap for economic loss awards.

  4. Increase the catastrophic impairment default benefit limit to $2 million and increase the third-party liability coverage to $2 million in government regulated automobile insurance plans.

  5. Assess and implement additional measures which would support lower premiums or alternatives to the provision of insurance services by other entities such as non-profit insurance reciprocals.

  6. Compel the insurance industry to supply all necessary financial evidence including premiums, claims, and deductible limit changes which support its, and municipal arguments as to the fiscal impact of joint and several liability.

  7. Establish a provincial and municipal working group to consider the above and put forward recommendations to the Attorney General.”; and

  2. That the City of Brampton does hereby call on the Attorney General of Ontario to work with municipal governments to put forward a plan of action to address “joint and several liability” before the end of the government’s current term so that municipalities can continue to offer high quality services to their communities; and

  3. That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to all Brampton MPPs for their awareness and support, as well as the Region of Peel, City of Mississauga and Town of Caledon, seeking similar resolutions of support and endorsement.

Public Question Period

Members of the public were given the opportunity to submit questions via e-mail to the City Clerk’s Office regarding any decisions made at this meeting.  

Peter Fay, City Clerk, outlined a question from the public, as follows: 

Sylvia Menezes Roberts, Brampton resident, asked: “Why isn't the federal pre-budget submission compliant with basic accessibility requirements that have been around for years? Text is required to be actually in the format of text, but this doesn't seem to be the case at all for the federal pre-budget submission.  It not being formatted as text can make it unreadable for screen readers, and consequently inaccessible for those who are blind or visually impaired.”

Mr. Fay responded that he would review this matter with staff and ensure that the document is accessible for all users.

CLOSED SESSION

Note: Items 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, 19.6 and 19.12 were dealt with pursuant to Consent 
Resolution C041-2022.

Earlier in the meeting during consideration of the Consent motion, Council Members expressed their intention to begin discussions on Item 19.9, specifically as it relates to Brampton U, in Open Session, 

Sameer Akhtar, City Solicitor, and Peter Fay, City Clerk, suggested that Council begin its discussions in Closed Session where it can be determined if they are warranted in Closed and, if not, Council could continue its discussions in Open Session.

Council discussion on Brampton U began in Open Session, and included:

• details about information that was provided anonymously to some Members of Council, which included invoices for consulting and other services and a draft report
• concerns about the amounts and frequency of the invoices from the consultants 
• suggestion that the consultants be invited to delegate to Council to explain their charges and provide details on their deliverables 
• potential conflict of interest for a Member of Council and a suggestion that this matter be referred to the Integrity Commissioner
• need for information on the total budget, travel expenses by the consultants, identity of stakeholders who were engaged, outreach to the Province and outcomes, if/when a decision was made to discontinue moving forward with this project, and how the City ended its contract with the consultants
• concerns about public statements by Members of Council regarding a university in the downtown

In response to questions from Council, staff provided the following:

• information on the amount of money spent on the two consultants between 2019 and 2021 and confirmation that all invoices have been paid
• details on work undertaken by the consultants, including a telephone survey, town hall meetings, information session to engage developers, confidential information shared with Council in Closed Session, business community engagement, and a report on the business sessions
• indication that a report titled: “A Case for Brampton University Draft” is with the CAO’s Office, and that the extent to which the report has been shared needs to be confirmed
• confirmation that the Brampton U initiative remains a Council priority and that no direction has been given to staff to discontinue work on the project.

During Council discussion on this matter, a Point of Order was raised by Regional Councillor Santos, for which the Mayor gave leave.

Councillor Santos noted confusion with the name of one of the consulting firms and confirmed that the company is Stakeholder Research Associates.

The following motion, moved by Regional Councillor Medeiros and subsequently seconded by Regional Councillor Fortini, was introduced.

1.    That the Integrity Commissioner be requested to investigate the following:

a)    The relationship between Councillor Santos and the consultant(s) utilized;

2.    That the consultant report prepared by the consultants on this matter be released publically;

3.    That the CAO be requested to provide a detailed itemized report (including any travel undertaken and stakeholders consulted), on the spending undertaken by the City with respect to the Brampton University file; and

4.    That no further work be undertaken by staff in respect to advancing the Brampton U file.

Following introduction of the motion, a Point of Personal Privilege was raised by Regional Councillor Santos since she was named.  Mayor Brown gave permission for the Point of Personal Privilege.

Councillor Santos provided an advisory that in August 2019 she sought advice from the Integrity Commissioner with respect to a potential conflict of interest she might have as a result of one of the selected consultants, and outlined details of a letter she received from the Integrity Commissioner in this regard.

Council discussion took place on the motion, during which time Members of Council expressed varying opinions in support of or opposition to the motion, and Mayor Brown provided background information on the Brampton U file and other potential post secondary opportunities.

In response to questions from Council, staff provided information on the funding available in reserves for post secondary education, money spent on the City’s post secondary education strategy, details on the procurement process for the Brampton U consultants.  Staff agreed to provide information to Council Members regarding any FOI requests on Brampton U.

A motion was introduced by Regional Councillor Vicente to provide that the CAO also report on when Members of Council received email communications from staff regarding the Brampton U file.  The motion was subsequently withdrawn.

During Council consideration of the motion, Points of Order were raised by Councillors Medeiros, Fortini and Palleschi, for which the Mayor gave leave.

Councillor Medeiros clarified that the report from the consultants that he referenced is the final draft report and not a “white paper” as noted by a Member of Council. 

Councillor Fortini expressed his view that Council discussion was off-topic and should be focussed on Brampton U only.

Councillor Palleschi responded to a Member of Council’s suggestion that the report back include additional information, and expressed his view that this could present an “impossible task” for staff. 

Councillor Medeiros, as mover of the motion, agreed to some amendments proposed by Members of Council but did not accept other proposed amendments, such that the operative clauses read as follows:

1. That the Integrity Commissioner be requested to investigate the following:

a)    The relationship between Councillor Santos and the consultant(s) utilized;

2. That the consultant report prepared by the consultants on this matter be released publically, subject to review by the CAO and City Solicitor and determination of confidentiality, and indication of previous dissemination thereof;

3. That the CAO be requested to provide a detailed itemized report (including any travel undertaken and stakeholders consulted, and copies of all press releases issued to update the public on Brampton University, and memoranda of understandings signed with other academic institutions) on the spending undertaken by the City with respect to the Brampton University file; and

4. That no further work be undertaken by staff in respect to advancing the Brampton U file, pending report on the matter by the CAO.

A separate recorded vote was taken on Clause 1 a) of the motion, with the results as follows:
