Attached to this Report is a copy of correspondence from the Regional Clerk dated
March 24, 2004 advising that the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham has
passed a by-law to transfer the lower-tier power relating to residential solid waste
collection in the City of Pickering to the Region of Durham, effective January 1, 2004 .
The Region is now asking the City of Pickering for their consent to this by-law as part of
the triple majority that is needed for the Region to assume this lower tier responsibility.
Although the February 2nd resolution notes Pickering Council's support of the transfer of
waste collection responsibility to the Region, a separate resolution will be needed to
consent to the by-law that was passed by the Region in order to fulfill the "triple
majority" requirement set out in the Municipal Act.
For Council's information, a "triple majority" is achieved as follows:
1.
A by-law agreeing to transfer the responsibility for solid waste management
collection, must receive the support of a majority of votes of the Regional
Council. This part of the "triple majority" was achieved when the Region passed
the required by-law at a meeting held on March 24, 2004.
2.
A majority of the lower tier municipal councils must pass resolutions consenting
to the by-law. That is the purpose of this Report.
3.
The total number of electors in the consenting lower tier municipalities must form
a majority of electors in the Region.
Please note that if the responsibility of waste collection is transferred from the City of
Pickering to the Region of Durham, the Region will have assumed waste collection
responsibility from all municipalities within the Region of Durham with the exception of
the City of Oshawa and the Towns of Ajax and Whitby.
