Bruce Taylor
City Clerk
Subject:
Public Notification Policy
File: A-1010
Recommendation:
1.
That Report CL 17-03 regarding the Public Notification Policy be received; and
That the draft By-law to provide for the Public Notification Policy be enacted.
2.
Executive Summary: In accordance with Section 251 of the Municipal Act, 8.0. 2001,
the Public Notification Policy is presented to Council for endorsement. The objective of
the policy is to ensure compliance with the Municipal Act, provide accurate and timely
notice to the required audience, ensure that the notification process is consistent, and
to ensure all notices published by the City are in an effective and relevant medium. The
scope of the policy includes only notices issued in accordance with the Municpal Act.
Financial Implications:
N/A
Background: The Municipal Act, 8.0., 2001, came into effect January 1, 2003.
Where the City is required to give notice under a provision of the Act, Section 251 of the
Act grants the authority to Council to determine the manner and times which are
adequate to give reasonable notice.
Current and proposed notice mediums used to communicate to our audience include:
correspondence addressed to individuals and/or businesses, on-site posted signs, the
City of Pickering Website, and newspaper publications. In most cases, and where
practical, notice is provided using more than one medium to ensure that the target
audience is being met.
Staff have reviewed all notice provisions of the Act and, in consideration of current
notice practices, recommended the attached Public Notification Policy. Although
Appendix 1 to the Policy identifies the notices specifically addressed in the Act, Section
Report CL 17-02
Date: June 17,2003
Subject: Public Notification Policy
Page 2
03.03 of the Policy further states that where the Act refers to "reasonable notice", the
City shall make every effort to give not less than five days or more than thirty days prior
to the proposed notice of intention to pass a by-law or notice of a public meeting being
taken.
