WHEREAS The Hon. Steve Clarke, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing stated in relation to Bill 112, the Dissolution of Peel Region, that: In the coming weeks, the province will also name regional facilitators to assess the upper-tier municipalities of Durham, Halton, Niagara, Simcoe, Waterloo and York. These facilitators will be tasked with reviewing whether the upper-tier government continues to be relevant to the needs of its communities or whether the lower-tier municipalities are mature enough to pursue dissolution. Where they recommend that a two-tier government is still required, the facilitators will also make recommendations on how they can more effectively respond to the issues facing Ontario’s fast-growing municipalities today, particularly when it comes to meeting municipal housing pledges and tackling the housing supply crisis; and WHEREAS the County of Simcoe has previously requested that a facilitator be assigned to assist in efficiencies and supporting a review of services specific to ensuring that the Provincial goal of constructing 1.5 million new housing units in the next ten years can be achieved; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That Simcoe County Council, made up of the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of the member municipalities, believes strongly in the Tiered Governance composition, structure, and current state of maturity of the municipalities supported by the County of Simcoe, that delivers tremendous essential services and benefits our residents of Simcoe
