Subject: Brampton's Representation at the Region of Peel Council
Contact: John Corbett, Chief Administrative Officer 905-874-2625
Overview:
• At its Committee meeting of September 25, 2013, Brampton Council passed a resolution for Mayor Susan Fennell and John Corbett, Chief Administrative Officer to delegate the Region of Peel regarding Brampton's representation at Regional Council.
• On September 26, 2013, Mayor Fennell and Mr. Corbett presented a motion to Regional Council to ask the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enact a regulation that would authorize a change to Regional Council composition to add (4) four additional members from the City of Brampton and that this change be in place for the 2014 municipal election.
• Regional Councillors spoke to Brampton's need for fair representation and moved that Brampton's presentation be referred to area municipalities for their consideration.
• As Brampton's representation at the Region of Peel is a priority for City Council and given the shortness of time to enable this change by 2014 municipal election, it is recommended that the Mayor ask the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to initiate the legislative process to amend the Region of Peel Act,
Recommendations:
1. THAT the report from the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer and Executive Leadership Team, dated October 4, 2013 to the Council Meeting of October 9 , 2013 re: (File G70) Brampton's Representation at the Region of Peel Council, be received; and
2. THAT Mayor Susan Fennell write to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing requesting that legislation be introduced to amend the Region of Peel Act, to change the composition of Region of Peel Council to have (4) four City of Brampton Councillors, in accordance with the draft letter found in Appendix E, attached to this report ; and

3. THAT the legislative process be initiated immediately to coincide with the Region of Peel area municipal reviews on the proposed changes to Regional Council; and
4. That the change in composition of Peel Region Council be in place for the 2014 election so as to be in effect on December 1, 2014: and
5. That this resolution and report be sent to the Region of Peel, municipalities of Mississauga and Caledon, and Peel-area Members of Provincial Parliament; and
6. That the Chief Administrative Officer write to Regional Council to clarify that the City of Brampton followed the appropriate statutory process to initiate the governance review through correspondence to the Region of Peel Council, as approved at their meeting on July 4, 2013 and subsequently referred to their meeting of September 26, 2013 for consideration.
Background:
At its meeting of December 5, 2012, Brampton Council approved the Terms of Reference for the Regional Representation Task Force to develop an advocacy strategy and implementation plan to enhance Brampton's representation at Peel Regional Council . The Task Force reviewed Brampton's significant growth since the release of Justice Adam's report (2004) and agreed with its recommendations to increase Brampton's regional representatives from 6 to 11, where all members of City Council would serve on Regional Council, similar to Mississauga
The Task Force further considered the legislative options to change the composition of Regional Council and recommended that, in accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 Brampton Council ask the Region of Peel to request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enact a regulation that would authorize it to change the size of Regional Council to have 4 additional members from Brampton and that it be in effect on December 1, 2013, for the 2014 municipal election.
Brampton Council passed a resolution on June 19, 2013 requesting that the City be permitted to delegate the Region of Peel regarding a change to Brampton's representation on Regional Council. Following the Council meeting, a letter and the resolution were forwarded to the Region of Peel regarding this request. A copy of the City's letter and resolution to the Region are attached as Appendix A. Subsequently, on July 4, 2013 Regional Council approved City Council's request to delegate the Region at its September 26, 2013 meeting. A copy of the Region's letter and corresponding resolution approving the City's delegation is attached as Appendix B.
At their September 25, 2013 meeting, City Council reviewed a presentation from the Task Force for the purposes of delegating the Region on Brampton's representation. Council resolved that Mayor Fennell and John Corbett, Chief Administrative Officer, would provide the presentation, on behalf of the Task Force, to Regional Council on September 26, 2013, and that the Region be requested to pass the City's resolution for the Minister to enact the regulation to change the composition of Regional Council. The City of Brampton's letter and resolution to the Region is attached as Appendix C.
8.1-7
Current Situation:
On September 26th, 2013, Mayor Fennell and Mr. Corbett provided the Task Force's presentation to Regional Council and asked for them to pass Brampton's resolution. Although, Regional Councillors recognized and spoke to Brampton's need for fair representation, Regional Council moved that the presentation be referred to the area municipal Councils of Caledon and Mississauga for their consideration. The Peel Region resolutions are attached as Appendix D. In recognition, that some Regional Councillors expressed unawareness of the Brampton's request prior to September 26 th Regional Council meeting, the Chief Administrative Officer will provide the Regional Council with the above noted resolutions approving Brampton's delegation.
The City of Brampton respects the views of our colleague Councils and will continue to advocate for Brampton's representation at Regional Council in accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001. Recognizing that Brampton's representation at Peel Region is a priority for this Council, it is critical that the legislative process be initiated as soon as possible, to be in effect for the 2014 municipal election. It is recommended that Mayor Fennell write the Minister of Municipal affairs asking that the appropriate legislation be introduced to amend the Region of Peel Act, coincidently with the area municipal reviews. A copy of the Mayor's draft letter is attached as Appendix E.
Conclusion:
By taking the necessary legislative and regulatory steps to amend the Region of Peel Act, we will strengthen Brampton's voice on Regional Council and are better positioned to address the priorities of all Peel residents. Our Chair, and all Peel Councillors, will have a stronger - more united voice - to champion Peel priorities with the provincial and federal governments.

Re: Regional Representation Task Force Recommendation — Request to Region of Peel Council to Adopt a Resolution Requesting the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to Issue a Regulation to Permit the Region of Peel Council to Change its Composition
The following recommendation of the Committee of Council Meeting of June 12, 2013 was approved by Council on June 19, 2013:
CW232-2013 WHEREAS in 2004, the Honourable Justice George W. Adams, at the request of the then Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, facilitated discussions between the four municipalities in the Region of Peel (the Region, Caledon, Brampton and Mississauga), on various matters of mutual interest, including regional representation; and
WHEREAS Justice Adams issued his report in December 2004, therein recommending the Province of Ontario implement a change to regional representation at Region of Peel Council based on:
(a) Increasing Mississauga's regional representatives from ten (10) to twelve (12),
(b) Retaining Caledon's regional representatives at five (5), and (c) Increasing Brampton's regional representatives from six (6) to
eleven (11), based on an agreement between all municipalities on a weighted vote at Peel Region Council to accord additional weight to the votes of Mississauga and Caledon representatives to counteract the appointment of additional Brampton regional representatives; and
WHEREAS subsequent to Justice Adams report and recommendations on regional representation, in 2005 the Province enacted Bill 186 to change the composition of Peel Region Council by:

(c) maintaining Caledon at five (5) members, which constitutes the current composition of the Region of Peel Council, plus the Regional Chair; and
WHEREAS during the last nine (9) years since Justice Adams released his considered and balanced report and recommendations on regional representation, the City of Brampton has experienced significant population growth (and a rate of growth higher than Mississauga and Caledon), which continues to reinforce the need for increased regional representation for Brampton to ensure fair and equitable governance of the region; and
WHEREAS the Municipal Act, 2001, Sections 218 and 219, sets out the necessary steps to authorize a regional municipality to change its council composition, including the requirement for a resolution from the Regional Council to the Province requesting change to composition; and
WHEREAS the principles and objectives espoused in Justice Adams 2004 recommendations on regional representation continue to remain valid and just, in spite of the Province not completely implementing his recommendations;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Brampton Council request to delegate to Region of Peel Council as soon as possible seeking a Resolution from Peel Region Council to request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enact a Regulation to authorize Regional Council to change its composition, as follows:
WHEREAS to change the composition of council in accordance with sections 218(5) and 218(7) of the Municipal Act, 2001, a regional council must:
a) pass a resolution requesting the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enact a regulation to authorize the regional council to exercise the power to change the size of council, and
b) submit the resolution to the Minister
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The Council of The Regional Municipality of Peel requests the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to enact a regulation that would authorize it to change the size of Regional Council to have four (4) additional members from the City of Brampton, and

Honourable Linda Jeffrey Brampton-Springdale Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 17th Floor 777 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5
Re: Brampton Representation at the Region of Peel Council
Dear Minister Jeffrey,
On behalf of the City of Brampton Council, I am writing to update you on our efforts to ensure Brampton residents have fair and equitable governance in the Region of Peel. As you are aware, Brampton City Council is asking that the composition of Regional Council be changed with the addition of four (4) City of Brampton Councillors in recognition of Brampton's growth and the recommendations of the 2004 Justice Adams report. This has been a long standing priority for Brampton.
In accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001, Brampton Council passed a resolution to ask the Region of Peel for the City to be permitted to delegate the Region regarding a change to Brampton's representation on Regional Council. Regional Council endorsed Brampton's request at its July 4th , 2013 meeting. On Thursday September 26, 2013, I joined Brampton Chief Administrative Officer, John Corbett, to delegate at Regional Council on this important matter. We requested Regional Council's endorsement to ask you, Madam Minister, to issue the enabling regulation for Peel Regional Council to change its composition so that an additional 4 Brampton Councillors would serve on Regional Council immediately following the 2014 municipal election. A copy of our resolution is attached.
Although, Regional Councillors spoke to Brampton's need for fair representation, Regional Council moved that our presentation be referred to the area municipal Councils of Caledon and Mississauga for their consideration. The Peel Region resolutions are also attached for your review.
13
8.1-18
The City of Brampton has supported the legislative process to change the composition of Regional Council and we appreciate the views of our colleague Councils. However, Brampton's representation at Peel Region is a priority for this Council and timing is critical for you to consider this request before the end of the year, to be in effect for the 2014 municipal election.
My Council and I request that you support strengthening Brampton's voice on Regional Council, by taking the necessary legislative and regulatory steps to amend the Region of Peel Act. We believe it is appropriate to initiate the legislation change in parallel with the aforementioned discussion at the local level. By enabling all Brampton Councillors to be represented at the Region of Peel, during the next council term, we are better positioned to address the priorities of all Peel residents.
I would like to meet with you and discuss our request further. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Susan Fennell Mayor

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance and advise on the important matter of Brampton's representation issues at the Region of Peel Council. However, I am concerned that some Regional Councillors expressed unawareness of Brampton's request prior to that meeting. As you can well appreciate, it was not our intent to precipitously introduce the matter. I wish to clarify that the City of Brampton respectfully requested the Region to consider the City's request before the September 26'n Council meeting.
Brampton Council was advised of the legislative options to change the composition of Regional Council to add four Brampton Councillors. At its meeting on June 19th , 2013 Brampton Council passed a resolution in accordance with the Municipal Act, asking the Region to permit the City to delegate Regional Council regarding a change to Brampton's regional representation. Following the Council meeting, a letter and the resolution were forwarded to the Region of Peel and to the area municipalities regarding this request. A copy of the City's letter and resolution to the Region is attached.
Subsequently, the City's letter and resolution were placed on the Regional Council agenda for consideration at their July 4th , 2013 meeting. Regional Council discussed the City's request in conjunction with a review of the process of the selection of the Regional Chair. Further to the discussion, Regional Council resolved to create a task force to review the election of the Regional Chair and Brampton's request for additional Regional Council members and to report back at the September 26th Council meeting and; that the request from the City of Brampton for a representative to delegate to the September 26th meeting regarding the composition of Regional Council be approved. The Region's letter and resolution approving the City's delegation was sent to the City of Brampton and copied to the City of Mississauga and the Town of Caledon. A copy of the Region's correspondence is attached.
8.1-27
I trust this helps to clarify that we have appropriately requested Regional Council to consider Brampton's request, as well to remind Regional Council that this request was tabled for consideration two months before the September 26 th , Regional Council meeting. At the City of Brampton, we take pride in working collaboratively with our colleague municipalities and in accordance with the appropriate legislative processes to enact fair and equitable regional representation for the citizens of Brampton.

The Region ended the year with an overall surplus of $21.1 million on a $2.051 billion budget, a variance of 1.7 percent relative to both net tax levy and utility rate total billing revenues, which is within the budget accuracy target range of plus or minus 3 percent. This overall year end position is a combined result of tax supported programs which generated a surplus of $29.5 million and the utility rate supported programs which had a deficit of $8.3 million.

Approval is recommended.

The Region’s 2015 Capital Budget and Capital Works in Progress from prior years opened with a balance of $3.0 billion and ended with a balance of $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2015. The ending balance was comprised of 1,156 active capital projects.
2015 capital spending totaled $758 million, which was 13% above the budgeted cash flow spending projection. Total capital spending was comprised of $249 million in tax supported spending and $509 million in utility rate supported spending. No debt was issued for the 2015 Capital Program.
Development Charges (DC) Reserve Funds had a net draw of $149.7 million based on capital spending, DC revenues and debt repayments. This draw was funded from internal borrowing and development charge reserves.
Net outstanding debt for the reporting period was $1.444 billion, and is largely comprised of development growth related debt and mortgages for Peel Living. The Region currently has net debt charges of 9.1% of net revenues, which is well below the Provincial Annual Repayment Threshold of 25%.

10.5 2016 Development Charge Adequacy Update (For information)
Municipalities are required by legislation to update Development Charges (DC) By-laws at a minimum of every five (5) years. The Region recently approved their latest update in 2015.
In 2012, Regional Council directed staff to perform an annual assessment of the adequacy of DC Reserves and commence a background study if the annual assessment indicates a funding shortfall of 20% or more.
This report advises that the latest annual assessment reveals that DC rates would need to be increased by 2.9% to ensure the sustainability of the growth related capital program through to 2031.
No action is required at this time as the increase is below the policy threshold to expedite a new background study.
The Region’s next DC By-law update is currently being planned for 2018, prior to the legislative expiry in 2020.
