DISCUSSION

 

Section 204 of the Municipal Act, 2001 requires that the municipality appoint Business Improvement Area (BIA) Board members. 

 


According to its by-law (By-law No. 305-94), the Somerset Street Chinatown Business Improvement Area is entitled to “twelve (12) members, at least one of whom shall be a member of Council”. 

 

At its 14 December 2006 meeting, City Council appointed Councillor Diane Holmes as its representative on the Somerset Street Chinatown Business Improvement Area Board of Management and at its 23 May 2007 meeting, City Council approved the appointment of eleven (11) business members to the Somerset Street Chinatown BIA. 

 

In a letter dated 14 April 2008, the Somerset Street Chinatown BIA asked that Council appoint Mr. Ken Yip on the Somerset Street Chinatown BIA Board of Management.  In a follow-up e-mail dated 1 May 2008, the BIA confirmed that Mr. Yip’s appointment was the result of the resignation of Mr. Daniel Kwan. 

 

Mr. Yip will serve the balance of the term, expiring on November 30, 2010.

Consultation or recruitment of members is undertaken by the BIA.  This is an administrative matter completed on behalf of the BIA, therefore public consultation is not required.
