Re: Finance Committee of York Region Donation of $500,000

WHEREAS, on January 8, 2005, the Toronto Star reported a donation of
$500,000 from York Region's treasury to the Red Cross;
AND WHEREAS no legal authority had been given for the donation;
Council Meeting No. 05-02
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Page 13 of 13
AND WHEREAS no notice was given to the community that the Region was
contemplating this action and therefore no opportunity for public input into the
matter;
AND WHEREAS the same news report indicated the Region had taken the funds
from "the 2004 budget surplus";
AND WHEREAS "surplus funds" is a matter of terminology and by law all money
raised in excess from taxation in any given year must be applied immediately to
the benefit of the community which in effect overpaid taxes in that year;
AND WHEREAS, furthermore, the Regional Chairman has indicated that support
for this decision was obtained from Regional Councillors through a canvassed
poll and this is not different to past practices of the Region;
AND WHEREAS there is nothing in the Municipal Act which provides for this
practice in the conduct of the public's business and as a municipal corporation
the Region of York is governed by the Municipal Act.
Now therefore be it resolved:
THAT the Town of Aurora requests the Honourable John Gerretsen, Minister of
Municipal Affairs, under the relevant section of the Municipal Affairs Act, consider
the need to conduct an investigation of York Region's method of conducting the
public's business;
AND FURTHER THAT an audit be conducted of the Region's accounts and
financial procedures.
