I. Notice of Motion

I.1 Election - Regional Chair

Moved by: Regional Councillor Joe Li

Seconded by: Mayor Justin Altmann

Whereas the Regional Municipality of York ("York Region”) was established in 1971;

And Whereas the head of the council of York Region (the “Regional Chair”) has always been appointed by the members of council, pursuant to the applicable legislation;

And Whereas in 2003, a second option was introduced under subsection 218(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 (the “Act”), which permits the head of council of an upper-tier municipality, to be “elected by general vote”, in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, as an alternative to appointment by Regional Council, subject to the process set out in the Act;

And Whereas subsection 219(2) of the Act sets out a cumbersome process to change from appointment to direct election of the Regional Chair, referred to as the “triple majority”;

And Whereas the following Regional Municipalities now elect their Regional Chair by general vote under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996:

Regional Municipality of Halton
Regional Municipality of Durham
Regional Municipality of Waterloo

And Whereas Private Member’s Bill 42, the Municipal Amendment Act (Election of Chair of York Region), 2014, was tabled in the Ontario Legislature on November 14, 2014 by the MPP for Newmarket-Aurora, Chris Ballard (the “Bill”), and has been given second reading and referred to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly;

And Whereas the Bill proposes revisions to subsection 218(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 that require the Regional Chair to be elected by a general vote in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996;

And Whereas on June 28, 2012, York Region Council resolved not to support Bill 60, a predecessor of Bill 42, and to retain the status quo regarding the election of the Regional Chair;

And Whereas the present process of York Region Council appointing their own Regional Chair deprives the residents of a democratic process for a senior member of Regional government.

Now Therefore Be It Resolved That:

1. The Regional Municipality of York express its support for Bill 42, and request the Province of Ontario to pass Bill 42 and require the head of Council of The Regional Municipality of York to be elected by general vote in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, beginning in the next municipal election; and,

2. That this Motion be sent to The Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, The Honourable Ted McMeekin, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Patrick Brown, Leader of the Official Opposition (Progressive Conservative Party), Andrea Horwath, Leader of the New Democratic Party, all MPPs in York Region, including Chris Ballard, and the Councils of all municipalities within York Region.
