As of today (Dec 1st), the agenda for the Etobicoke-York Community Council meeting on January 13th, 2009, has not yet been set. The agenda will close on December 16th, 2008 and will, hopefully, include the staff report from Planning on 51 Lake Shore Drive.
Agenda items and other related information can be monitored at http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2008/agendas/ey.htm (make sure you put 2009 in the selection box)
The meetings are held during the day in two sessions, 9.30 to 12.30 and 1.30 to 6.00. They usually last just the one day. At the Councillor’s request, an evening session can be pre-scheduled (7.30 to 10.00). For this to happen, Councillor Grimes would have to be convinced that a lot of residents wanted to make deputations and that the evening session was the most appropriate.
Public deputations can be made to the Council at the beginning of the meeting’s scheduled agenda. Individuals are only allowed five minutes to depute. If a lot of people wish to make a deputation, it is strongly suggested, in order to hold the Council’s attention, that similar points are not endlessly repeated but different arguments are raised in a pre-planned fashion by successive speakers.
In order to make a deputation, make sure that 51 Lake Shore Drive is on the agenda first. Then call to secure a time slot - Sandra Domotor, City Clerk, at 416 394 8083 or her assistant Glenda at 416 394 8101. Requests for a time slot can be made up to the day preceding the Council meeting. They will also allow speakers who turn up on the day of the meeting to ask for a slot.
Deputation information is available at http://www.toronto.ca/city_council/deputation.htm
IF YOU ARE GIVEN A TIME SLOT, PLEASE CONTACT JEM CAIN AT jemcain@gmail.com SO THAT DEPUTATIONS CAN BE COORDINATED.
THANKYOU.
