As a result, Councillor Saito has received several accolades for her leadership with Peel Police in the areas of crime prevention as an advocate and ambassador, with a focus on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.

    WHEREAS the cost of living in Canada continues to rise, with inflation rates at over 8 percent, a 39-year high.

     

    AND WHEREAS Mississauga and cities across the country are in the midst of a housing crisis, with the average price of a home in Mississauga over a million dollars.

     

    AND WHEREAS addressing housing affordability will require all levels of government and the private sector to work together.

     

    AND WHEREAS the City of Mississauga is doing everything in its power as a municipality to address the housing affordability crisis, including but not limited to:

    • Working with the development community to streamline and digitize processes
    • that are ensuring we meet approval targets for building permits 95% of the time;
    • Protecting rental housing from demolition and conversion;
    • Permitting secondary or basement units;
    • Exploring gentle density intensification (i.e. garden suites and duplexes);
    • Implementing inclusionary zoning, and;
    • Providing Development Charges grants for eligible affordable rental housing developments.

     

    AND WHEREAS the City of Mississauga is proud of its long-standing history of working collaboratively with the building and development community.

     

    AND WHEREAS the City of Mississauga understands the rising cost pressures that the industry is facing but also recognizes that consumer’s rights deserve to be protected at the same time.

     

    AND WHEREAS there have been media reports about residential housing projects that have been cancelled by builders or developers or instances where homebuyers are facing significant and unforeseen closing costs, which can result in their dreams of home ownership being dashed.

     

    AND WHEREAS the provincial government has indicated that they plan to strengthen the ability of the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA), which licenses builders and developers, to sanction unethical behaviour.

     

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Mississauga urges the province to move swiftly to consult with the construction and development industry and implement the proposed changes to the Home Construction Regulatory Authority to better protect homebuyers.

    AND THAT we encourage the province to also explore the following measures to provide greater transparency and further protect homebuyers when purchasing a new home:

     

    1. Fund an advertising campaign that educates homebuyers on the information available to them on the Home Construction Regulatory Authority website to help them make informed decisions before entering into a legal agreement.
    2. Require developers to extend the amount of time homebuyers have to review contracts with their lawyers to get a better appreciation of the terms of the agreement of purchase and sale.
    3. Extend the pre-construction condominium cooling-off period.
    4. Tighten the period of time in which a builder has to commence a project from the time of sale.
    5. Require developers to include an itemized list of the estimated closing costs for the purchaser (i.e. Tarion Warranty registration, Water/Electricity Meter Installation, connection fees) and a maximum defined cap on possible increases.
    6. Regulations that require developers who cancel pre-construction residential projects to return homebuyers’ deposits in full, plus interest at the current prime rate, within a reasonable and legislated time period (i.e. within less than 30 days).

    AND THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Premier, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and Associate Minister of Housing.

    Seconded ByCouncillor G. Carlson

    Whereas the details of the proposed “strong mayor” legislation have not yet been provided;

    Whereas on its face the proposal appears to alter the functioning of municipal councils without any consultation with those councils or the public;

    Whereas for mayors to be able to impose directives on budget or other significant matters rather than spend time to enlist the support of a majority of colleagues on any issue, is not in keeping with the directly democratic functioning of a city council; 

    Whereas to site housing as a rationale for such change is at best weak, as housing applications go through a lengthy process laid out in the Municipal Planning Act, which is solely the prerogative of the Province;

    Whereas when developments are held up or refused by councils based on that Act, the provincially controlled Ontario Land Tribunal can issue unappealable decisions to overturn council decisions;

    Whereas municipalities actually require other forms of reform such as more independent powers to raise funds such as those provided in the City of Toronto Act, lessening the burden of building and maintaining city infrastructure on property taxes - which are regressive - and onto more progressive sources of revenue;

    Whereas the “strong mayor” policy, if extended to cities other than Toronto and Ottawa, will require a review of regional government from an ultimate leadership perspective;

    Whereas a “strong mayor” governance model could attract partisan politics into local government;

    Whereas while some Toronto Councillors have known partisan “leanings” other provinces such Quebec have the candidates’ party affiliations printed on ballots, jeopardizing the independence from partisan politics currently the norm in Ontario municipal politics;  

    Whereas today non-partisan municipal councillors are free to listen to debates and represent the needs of their specific communities without partisan policy restraints, change positions and decide issues often by consensus;  

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

    The Council of the City of Mississauga outlines its opposition to the “strong mayor” legislative change and forward concerns to the Province, local MPPs and all municipal associations to which the City belongs. 

    YES (12)Mayor Crombie, Councillor S. Dasko, Councillor C. Fonseca, Councillor J. Kovac , Councillor C. Parrish, Councillor R. Starr, Councillor D. Damerla, Councillor M. Mahoney, Councillor P. Saito, Councillor S. McFadden, Councillor G. Carlson , and Councillor P. Mullin

    AND WHEREAS air conditioning is not included in the definition of vital services in the Act and landlords are not required to provide air conditioning;


    AND WHEREAS some landlords have reportedly refused to permit tenants to install and/or operate air conditioners in their rental units or have attempted to remove air conditioners already installed;


    AND WHEREAS high temperatures in apartments can lead to heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration,  and other serious medical conditions that may endanger the lives of tenants;


    NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: 
    1.    That the Mayor send a letter on behalf of Council, with a copy of this resolution, to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, requesting:


    a.    that the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O., 2006 (the “Act”) be amended to state that a provision in a tenancy agreement prohibiting the installation, presence and/or operation of an air conditioner in a rental unit is void; and


    b.    that consideration be given to making air conditioning or other cooling systems a vital service within the meaning of the Act and prescribing maximum temperatures permitted in rental units during summer months; and


    2.    that a copy of the letter and this resolution be sent to all Mississauga MPPs, the City of Brampton, the Town of Caledon and the Region of Peel, Apartment Associations and Big City Mayors.
