Sue Klein-Shanly, Chair, Mississauga Residents' Association Network, with respect to Recommendation GC-0110-2022 as outlined in the General Committee Report 5-2022 dated February 23, 2022

Item 12.2.

Sue Klein-Shanly, Chair, Mississauga Residents' Association Network, expressed concerns with respect to Recommendation GC-0110-2022 as outlined in the General Committee Report 5-2022 dated February 23, 2022, noting that the proposed changes to the current municipal election process will comprise the integrity of the existing system and implications to security, integrity, and privacy protection, as well as a lack of transparency.

Ms. Klein-Shanly raised the following questions/comments/concerns:

• who tasked staff with creating this presentation and when was it initiated; and
• is there supporting documents that highlight benefits/differences between the current and the proposed process to justify the cost associated with changing the process

Shari Lichterman, Commissioner, Corporate Services, explained that with an increase in COVD-19 cases a few months ago, election staff commenced researching alternate voting options which included mail in ballots with concerns of what the fall election would look like if faced with legislated restrictions, and further explained that other municipalities as well as the provincial and federal governments have used the mail in ballot option. 

Councillor Saito spoke to discussions at recent Governance Committee meetings regarding election voting options; however, the Governance Committee could not meet the time required to deal with the matter and therefore, the report was presented directly to General Committee.  Councillor Saito noted that there was no opportunity for resident engagement and feedbackand that residents who have reached out to her are not in support of the mail in ballot process. 

Diana Rusnov, Director, City Clerk advised that supply chain issues with paper continues to be a challenge and as a result the vendor would require an order be placed within the next few weeks in order to deliver the ballots in a timely manner.  Ms. Rusnov explained the functions of the tabulators, AutoMark Voter Assist Terminals and ExpressVote Units, and advised that the ExpressVote Unit was endorsed by the Accessibility Advisory Committee and would only be used for advanced poll dates.

Members of Council spoke with respect to the feedback they have received from their residents and raised the following questions/concerns/comments:

• Importance to receive public consultation and engagement
• Canada Post service deliverables
• the intent of Council was to provide resident alternate methods to vote and that the voting methods are accessible to all residents.

Councillor Fonseca acknowledged receipt of a letter from the Applewood Hills and Heights Residents’ Association with the results of a survey they conducted regarding the mail in ballot process and noted that the Applewood Hills and Heights Resident's Association expressed their concerns with the associated cost to implement this process, and, further that there was no public engagement on the matter.  Councillor Fonseca further noted that the survey results indicated that 76% of residents do not support the mail in ballot process.

In response to Councillor Damerla's inquiry regarding whether a mail in ballot process would remain a permanent process, Diana Rusnov, Director, City Clerk, advised that the Municipal Elections Act, requires Clerks to present to Council alternate voting methods before May 1st prior to each Municipal Election year.

Councillor Parrish stated that she would not support a Motion to reject the mail in ballot process, noting that the Federal government's use of mail in ballots at the last election resulted in many more citizens voting.  Councillor Parrish expressed concern that due to the pandemic, there are still residents who do not feel comfortable leaving their homes and that this process offers residents a safe option to cast their vote.

Diana Rusnov, Director, City Clerk clarified that Peel Public Health did not given any direction to the City of Mississauga to implement a mail in ballot process.

INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF CORPORATE REPORTS

11.1

Report of the Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force and Implications for Mississauga

Mayor and Members of Council engaged in discussion and raised the following questions/concerns/comments:

• the housing issues in Mississauga are related to affordability and all three levels of government need to address the affordability issue.
• Provincial government encroaching into the local planning process;
• no municipal government representation on the task force;
• Development Charges are critical source for the City; however it does not impact the purchase price of a home;
• the timelines from approval to building permit not be greater than 2 to 5 years; should have expiration dates
• providing 3D models of what a four storey of right looks like;
• the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) process very cumbersome and not user friendly
• Schedule special planning meeting; public engagement
• The need to define affordable
• time sensitivity due to upcoming election
• utilize newsletters to communicate to residents
• highlighting response and marking them with "strongly disagree" wherever possible
• City wide information sessions to inform the public of what is going on
• What is the number of units being purchased by foreign investors
• What impacts to Major Transit Station Areas (MTSA's)
• as of right housing opportunities
• speeding up approval process
• limiting inclusionary zoning
• making renting more affordable

In response to Councillor Mullin's inquiry regarding public engagement and communication/educational plan, Robert Trewartha, Director, Strategic Communication and Initiatives advised that further to Council's feedback and direction, a report would be brought to Council detailing a communication/educational campaign.

Mayor Crombie suggested that we wait until the Province narrows the scope of what it is proposing before launching any type of campaign.

Direction was given to staff to bring back a report detailing a communication/education plan

In response to Councillor Parrish's inquiry with respect to the funds received from the Province, Shari Lichterman advised that staff are finalizing the plan to utilize the funds to continue making improvements to the development process.

In response to Mayor Crombie's inquiry Paul Mitcham, City Manager and Chief Administrative Officer does not have any insight as to what the province is proposing and advised that the government might put a pause on the report based on the expected opposition from the Mayors and local governments; should this be the case, it would allow us more time to work on a communication plan with multiple phases.
