The above-captioned report was circulated to BIFAC members prior to the meeting. The Vice President, Facilities Management (Acting) was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

It was noted that staff asked for approval of this change order, subject to an upset limit. This is to include a small contingency allowance on the possibility that further change orders on this contract may become necessary in the future.

The original contract (in the amount of $1.9M) was signed in June. Staff and the contractor worked towards having the work completed in the non-heating season.

If the work is done during non-heating season, the heating in the entire building would be shut down.

The contractor was not able to start the work in the summer. In the winter, to ensure other parts of the building would still have heating, radiator replacement have to be done on a suite by suite basis. This is a labour intensive process, for two high-rises. A change order with increased contract price is necessary.

It was suggested that if similar circumstances arise in future, staff should include a contingency allowance in the contract when asking for BIFAC approval.

Update: False Fire Alarms Item 4 January 24, 2020 Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee Report: BIFAC:2020-08

To: Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee (“BIFAC”)

From: Senior Director, Fire Life Safety & Risk Management

Date: January 8, 2020

PURPOSE: To provide BIFAC with an update on false fire alarms at Toronto Community Housing Corporation (“TCHC”). RECOMMENDATIONS: For BIFAC to receive this update report for information. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:

Background Toronto Fire Services (“TFS”) and other municipal fire departments have imposed fees1 on building owners in relation to when the fire department is dispatched to the scene and determines that there is no indication of an emergency nor any explanation of good intent associated with the activation of the fire alarm system. The following provides the definition of instances of false fire alarms and non-emergencies that may result in service fees:

1 Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Appendix B, Schedule 1 item 28.

Page 30: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 2 of 4

1. Malicious False Alarm (“MFA”) is defined as the negligent or intentional misuse of a fire alarm system resulting in the activation of the system, but does not include the activation of a fire alarm system under circumstances that would have caused a careful or prudent person to believe that a fire related emergency was in progress at the owner’s building, or in circumstances where the owner has notified the fire department in advance of work being done on the fire alarm system that could cause a false fire alarm;

2. Nuisance False Alarm (“NFA”) is defined as the activation of a fire alarm system through smoking, mechanical failure, equipment malfunction or improper maintenance or installation of the system, but does not include the activation of a fire alarm system where the activation occurred as a result of accidental damage to the system; and

3. Non-Emergency Elevator (“NEE”) is defined as an incident that

results in a response to assist and release an individual(s) in an elevator that is deemed to be a non-emergency.

As of April 1, 2019, the fees for a malicious and nuisance false fire alarm is $1,431 per dispatch (3 vehicles) or $477 per fire vehicle dispatched. As well, the fees for elevator non-emergency incident is $477 per fire vehicle. False Fire Alarm Charges TCHC historically has been charged large sums in fees for false fire alarms. For 2019, TCHC has incurred $3,464,312 in fees resulting from 1,858 false fire alarm calls, which surpasses the 2018 fees and false fire alarm calls. The 2019 figures are subject to change upon receiving the finalized reports from TFS. In reviewing historical data (see Table 1), there is an increasing trend of fees and false fire alarm incidents. Additional data is provided in Attachment 1. Table 1: False Fire Alarm Calls & Fees, 2010 - 2019

False Fire Alarm Reimbursements At TFS, the Financial Services Division provides oversight to the invoicing, reimbursement and cancellation of invoices. The reimbursement process is outlined in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 442-2. Whichever is less, a rebate of up to 90% of the false fire alarm fee or the cost incurred to correct the problem of the false alarm is available to property owners who make concerted efforts to reduce malicious and nuisance false alarms. As a property owner, TCHC may appeal a false fire alarm charge by requesting a review of the charge. On the application form, TCHC must include the reason for the appeal and provide all supporting documentation to support that the incident was not a false fire alarm. TCHC receives a monthly report from TFS with all calls for which TCHC has been invoiced. TCHC then reviews the calls and ascertains the cause of the alarm to see if it was activated correctly. For example, whether the alarm was activated from smoke or whether there was no cause for alarm, TCHC staff then writes to TFS providing the reason for the appeal with supporting information justifying it was not a false fire alarm. It should be noted that according to the application for reimbursement, the submission must relate to the building address where the incident occurred and repairs must be incident related. Thus TCHC is not able to apply for bulk reimbursement. Moreover, TFS will not reimburse TCHC for fees that are related to regular maintenance repairs resulting from annual inspection deficiencies or security patrol.

IMPLICATIONS AND RISKS: At TCHC, false fire alarms have widespread implications, specifically to both our tenants and the corporation. For TCHC tenants, false fire alarms are disruptive and troublesome. As well, false fire alarms eventually contribute to alarm fatigue, which may put tenants in danger in the event of

Page 32: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 4 of 4 an actual fire and/or emergency. For the corporation, false fire alarms result in significant fees related to the charges associated with each of the incidents. In addition, it requires that TCHC allocate dedicated administrative resources to provide oversight to receiving, reviewing, and providing payment, as well pursuing any reimbursements as it relates to the false fire alarm fees. To reduce the frequency and fees related to false fire alarms, TCHC has established an inter-disciplinary task group comprising of members from Operations, Corporate Fire Life Safety, and Toronto Fire Services. The false fire alarm task group will conduct a review of properties with a high prevalence of false fire alarms and leverage data to implement targeted initiatives, which includes physical prevention and mitigation measures. As well, the group will support the development of a risk-based plan to address the three streams of false fire alarms: malicious, nuisance, and elevator non-emergencies, building on previous measures that are currently or have previously been implemented. Moving forward, TCHC will work with internal and external partners to inform the implementation of the above activities. In doing so, TCHC aims to reduce the frequency and cost associated with false fire alarms across the portfolio.

Q4 2019 HoMES Project Update Item 5A January 24, 2020 Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee Report: BIFAC:C2020-09

To: Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee (“BIFAC”)

From: Vice President, Information Technology Services

Date: January 14, 2020

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide BIFAC with an update as to the status of the TCHC Business Transformation (“HoMES”) Project. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that BIFAC receive this report for information. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: TCHC has committed to continuing to provide the following level of reporting to BIFAC and the Board of Directors:

Quarterly project updates to BIFAC; and Yearly, and as required, project updates to the Board.

STATUS: The overall status of the HoMES project remains on track. PROGRESS UPDATE: Track 1 (Finance and Capital Planning and Maintenance) The project team has completed all business process design activities, configuration activities and initial testing. No significant issues were raised during the testing period in late 2019. On January 20, 2020 the project team

Page 40: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

will commence a second phase of testing where integrations between the Yardi solution and other TCHC business applications will be tested. Track 1 is still on schedule to launch July 1, 2020. In November 2019, the HoMES Steering Committee approved the addition of a second Go Live date to accommodate operational needs for Capital Planning and Maintenance. Track 1B is schedule to Go Live on January 1, 2021.

Track 2 (Residential Tenancy Management) Track 2 business process design sessions started in December 2019. The HoMES project team and the Restructuring team are working closely together to ensure that processes developed for the HoMES solution are fully aligned with the goals of the restructuring efforts. Business process design work is scheduled to continue to the end of May 2020. Data preparation activities for Track 2 data have started.

Track 3 (Onboarding Contract Managed Providers) This track is scheduled to start after Track 2 goes live and will be reported on once project activities have started.

Stage of Completion As of December 31, 2019, the HoMES project had been in progress for seven months, with 17 months remaining until Go Live for Track 2. According to the Integrated Project Plan, Track 1 project activities are 51% complete, Track 2 project activities are 6% complete, and the overall project is 31% complete.

Approved Change Orders In February 2019, the Board of Directors approved the implementation of the TCHC Business Transformation HoMES Project with a total budget of $55,300,000, including contingency, to replace more than 30 legacy business applications.

Page 41: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 3 of 5

The HoMES project budget is allocated across four categories:

1. System Implementation 2. Software Subscription Licensing 3. Other Project Resources and Expenses, which includes the

procurement or recruitment of internal and external resources to perform:

o Business Process Redesign o Data preparation and conversion o Change Management, Training and Communication o Project Management

4. Contingency

After submission of the budget and prior to Board approval in February 2019, TCHC continued to negotiate final pricing with our vendors to obtain a best and final offer. These negotiations resulted in final contract awards which were less than originally budgeted.

On November 20, 2019 BIFAC requested regular updates of financial performance against approved budget and a summary of all approved change orders.

Contingency is reserved for cases where unplanned changes cannot be absorbed within the original project budget. The base project budget has had sufficient funds to absorb the majority of changes to date. Change orders to increase the original award to a specific vendor require approval as per TCHC’s Procurement Policy, and to this point have had no impact on the overall budget.

With respect to change orders to date, there have been $1,242,120 in approved change orders to facilitate project work in the category of Other Project Expenses. There is sufficient budget within this category to fund the change orders without the need to draw upon the Contingency.

Two of the approved change orders totaling $355,000 were for work in the System Implementation category. The budget allocation for this category did not accommodate these change orders, and an equivalent amount was moved from Contingency to this category. This did not impact the overall HoMES budget.

The TCHC HoMES project budget is currently forecasting below budget with a forecasted reduction of $2,240,000. This is primarily as a result of contract negotiations which occurred after the budget was submitted for approval and a delay in onboarding project resources in 2019.

2019 Information Technology Services Report Item 5B January 24, 2020 Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee Report: BIFAC:C2019-10

To: Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee (“BIFAC”)

From: Vice President, Information Technology Services (“ITS”)

Date: January 7, 2020

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee on Information Technology Services. 2019 ITS YEAR END SUMMARY: The 2019 ITS operational plan focused primarily on the replacement of End-of-Life (“EOL”) technologies, conducting an assessment of TCHC’s networks and infrastructure, completing a number of planned application upgrades, and enhancing the end user experience.

A summary of the team’s activities in 2019 are grouped into three categories:

1. Keep the Lights On (“KTLO”): This category outlines all the activities required to ensure that the business remains up and running. These activities include actioning any issues impacting business operations as they arise or fulfilling standard requests from the business, such as setting up new shared folders or onboarding a new employee. In 2019, the ITS team responded and resolved 6383 incidents. Approximately 30% of the incidents were issues with end user devices

Page 45: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

(laptop or desktop). Incidents are indicative of an EOL operating system (“OS”) and aging equipment. In 2019, the ITS team initiated the replacement project of all end-user devices and the upgrade of the Windows 7 OS to Windows 10. The Windows 10 project is completed. The end-use device replacement project will conclude by the end of April 2020. The second most common incident (28%) were issues with corporate applications. Again, incidents are indicative of EOL and End-of Support (“EOS”) applications. The HoMES project is one of many projects in progress or planned in the upcoming year to replace or upgrade business applications. The ITS team responded and completed 13,046 requests in 2019. Request are small tasks which can be completed with minimal effort and involve only a few ITS team members. The most common requests were in the category of reporting and access. Requests which require a variety of ITS resources, the procurement of a new technology software, or may impact more than one area of the organization are moved into the category of Business-Requested or ITS Led Initiatives.

2. ITS-Led Initiatives: There are a number of technologies in place at TCHC that are invisible to the organization, but play a critical role in enabling business facing technologies and protecting the organization from unauthorized access to systems or data. Not unlike our core business applications and end-user devices, these technologies were in need of replacement or upgrade. New technologies were also implemented in 2019 to lay the foundation for Business Intelligence. The ITS team completed more than 15 ITS-led initiatives in 2019.

3. Business Requested Initiatives requiring ITS Support: Business Requested initiatives are made at the request of a business unit. The ITS team completed more than 5 business requested initiatives in 2019.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES MANAGEMENT: TCHC’s Information Technology team has adopted ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) as its framework for Information Technology Service Management (“ITSM”). ITMS focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business. In 2019, the entire ITS team was certified in ITIL v3 Foundations.

2020 ITS OPERATIONS PLAN: The ITS leadership team has completed the development of the 2020 ITS Operations Plan and this plan is in the final stages of review and approval. SIGNATURE:

Update on Tenants First Item 6 January 24, 2020 Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee Report: BIFAC:C2020-11

To: Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee (“BIFAC”)

From: Acting Director, Strategic Planning & Stakeholder Relations

Date: January 9, 2020

PURPOSE: The purpose of this report to provide BIFAC with an update on the Tenants First process being led by the City’s Deputy City Manager and the Social Development, Finance & Administration (“SDFA”) division. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that this report be received for information.

BACKGROUND Overall TCHC-City Coordination Process The CEO and City Manager continue to meet monthly to maintain a direct line of communication between TCHC and the City, ensuring that oversight and accountability continues. The City developed a dashboard that tracks the progress of the Tenants First work streams. Content from the dashboard is included in this update (Attachment 1), which lists the overall status and key milestones of the seven work streams. Six of the seven work streams are on track, with one facing a slight gap to schedule.

Page 2 of 6 Permanent Funding Model A new TCHC permanent funding model was co-developed by the City and TCHC to be implemented during the 2020 budget, and was approved by City Council in November 2019. The new funding model will provide a baseline subsidy of $160 million annually for capital and $251 million annually for operating expenses beginning in 2020 and will allow for inflationary increases. The subsidy amount is going for approval to Executive Committee and City Council in February 2020 as part of the City’s 2020 budget process. TCHC’s Operating Agreement with the City will be revised to reflect the new funding formula, with a target completion date of Q2 2020. Development In July 2019, City Council approved in principle the transfer of TCHC’s development function to CreateTO and/or the City, and directed TCHC to work with the City and CreateTO to conduct the necessary due diligence for the transfer. The City’s due diligence report on the transfer was targeted for Q4 2019, however City staff determined that additional time was required to fully assess the various options for the organizational structure of the development functions being transferred. The due diligence process is continuing, and the report is expected to go forward to City Council in June 2020.

Seniors Corporation/Integrated Service Model In May 2018, City Council directed the City to develop and recommend an approach for transferring seniors-designated buildings from TCHC to a future seniors housing and services entity. In addition, City Council directed the City and TCHC to work together to implement a new Integrated Service Model for seniors housing to promote ageing in place and better quality of life for seniors. In July 2019, City Council directed the City to establish a wholly-owned City services corporation to manage and operate the seniors designated buildings. Seniors Corporation The City is completing due diligence on the establishment of a formal seniors corporation, and TCHC provides support to that process as

Page 49: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 3 of 6 needed. Draft recommendations are currently on track to be completed in Q3 2020. Integrated Service Model The City and TCHC have been working together to complete the implementation plan for the Integrated Service Model (ISM). The 83 seniors buildings have been organized into five regions, with each region comprising approximately 20 percent of the seniors portfolio. The ISM will be rolled out in five phases corresponding with each region. Phase 1 will be launched in Q2 2020 in the South East region in 18 buildings (2,826 units). Job evaluations and recruitment for new positions that will part of Phase 1 are underway. TCHC labour partners, staff and tenants will be engaged prior to the Phase 1 rollout. TCHC is also working with the City to finalize an accountability framework for the ISM consisting of key indicators, a methodology for collecting and reporting data, and developing an internal City structure to review and provide feedback, which is targeted for February 2020. Asset Transfers Mortgage Substitutions and Severances The discharges of Infrastructure Ontario (“IO”) mortgages registered against Agency, Uninhabited, Rooming, Scattered houses, and required property substitutions are proceeding according to schedule. The first tranche of properties encumbered by IO loans closed in October, with the second tranche completed in November. The remaining tranches are expected to be closed in Q3 2020, subject to IO’s satisfaction with the proposed replacement properties. External legal counsel are continuing to process severance applications for the remaining Agency and Uninhabited houses as needed. Some severances can be handled on an expedited basis which does not require a full hearing and some are more complex, requiring a full Committee of Adjustment hearing. Applications submitted on an expedited basis generally take about 3-4 months. The more complex applications take

Page 50: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 4 of 6 approximately 9-12 months and have to be placed on the Committee of Adjustment’s agenda in order of receipt.

Some of these severances may also require an Official Plan Amendment, if they contain more than six dwelling units. This will extend timelines an additional six to twelve months, depending on the requirements from City Planning staff. TCHC legal counsel, together with external counsel, Tenants First and SPSR representatives continue to work with City Planning staff to proceed as expeditiously as possible with these severances. However, the Committee operates within rules set under the Planning Act, and City Planning staff do not have authority to expedite the TCHC applications under this Act.

Agency and Uninhabited Houses TCHC and the City continue to work to transfer all Agency and Uninhabited houses to eligible agencies. After completing due diligence to ensure agency capacity to secure the necessary funding, the City has formally authorized the transfer of 14 properties to seven agencies. Draft Agreements of Purchase and Sale (“APS”) for these properties have been sent out to those agencies for review, and five have been executed. The majority of the Agency houses (21 of the 30) will be transferred by Q2 2020. The remaining houses will be transferred as the mortgage substitutions and severances are completed. A list of all of the Agency and Uninhabited houses along with their severance and substitution status is included in Attachment 2. Rooming Houses The City continues to work with Dixon Hall to develop an operating and capital plan including an appropriate funding model, which will allow for the successful transfer of the Rooming houses. Scattered Houses The City and TCHC have finalized a request for proposals (“RFP”) to select the agencies/non-profit housing providers that will purchase the Scattered houses. The RFP was published on October 31, 2019, with submissions due in February 2020. The City will seek City Council approval of the

Page 51: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 5 of 6 recommendations resulting from the RFP in June 2020. Once approved, TCHC will have the authority to transfer the Scattered houses to the organizations selected through the RFP process and will request Board approval to complete the transfer. Proceeds from the Sale of Houses The prices for the transfer of the Agency and Uninhabited houses (49 houses in total) have been established by the City using a custom methodology. The goal was for the total price of all houses to equal the total outstanding mortgage principle of all houses, plus the estimated transaction costs of the transfer process. Once received, the proceeds from each sale will be used to offset these transaction costs, and the balance used to pay down mortgage debt.

Once transfer prices have been established for the Rooming houses and Scattered portfolio, TCHC will provide an update to BIFAC on how proceeds from the sale of these properties will be allocated.

Mandate TCHC and the City have resumed discussions to finalize TCHC’s mandate. The City remains on track to develop a draft Shareholder Direction in June 2020, with a report to Council targeted for September 2020. IMPLICATIONS AND RISKS: TCHC is undertaking these actions in accordance with directions from City Council. It is recognized and accepted by TCHC that the full portfolio of Scattered houses will not be sold at fair market value and management is supportive of moving ahead with the transfers. There remain a number of implications of which the Board should be aware. Transferring these assets will have an impact on TCHC’s ability to borrow and on the Net Operating Income. In 2017, these assets generated NOIs in the amount of approximately $6 million. Based on this number and assuming a 30-year loan term at a 4% interest rate, the estimated loan amount that can be borrowed was calculated at $105M. In transferring these assets, we may lose the capacity to borrow $105M in the future. Based on 2017 MPAC assessments, TCHC will lose approximately $380M

Page 52: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 6 of 6 in assets as a result of the transfers. Removing these assets from our portfolio will result in a reduction of approximately $100M related to capital repairs. These risks have been shared with the City’s Tenants First team. SIGNATURE:

AC Exchange Program Update Item 8 January 24, 2020 Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee Report: TCHC:2020-13

To: Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee (“BIFAC”)

From: Chief Operating Officer

Date: January 10, 2020

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to provide BIFAC and the Board of Directors with an update on the removal of window air conditioner (“AC”) units and the expansion of the AC Exchange Program. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that this report be received and forwarded to the Board of Directors for information. UPDATE:

On December 2, 2019, TCHC announced that window AC units would no longer be permitted unless contained within a balcony. TCHC also announced the expansion of the AC Exchange Program, for the removal of window AC units in buildings 3 stories or higher and not contained within a balcony, and replace each unit with a new portable floor model.

Page 64: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 2 of 3

A cross divisional team was established with Operations, Legal, Public Affairs, Procurement and Facilities Management to plan and execute the removal of units in a phased approach.

Phase 1

Operations identified window AC units installed in buildings three stories or higher and not contained within a balcony to establish an initial assessment of units that required removal. This initial assessment identified 5,400 window AC units to be removed.

Work began on November 28, 2019 to remove the AC units identified in the initial assessment. A social enterprise who hires TCHC tenants was retained via Direct Award to remove the AC units, with assistance and support from site staff and the Capital Engagement and Conservation Program team. As the AC Exchange Program was rolled out, the initial number of units that required removal increased to 6,840. An additional vendor was retained to provide assistance to remove the increased number of AC units.

TCHC also procured replacement floor model units for delivery in March 2020. The Contract Award for the floor model units was approved by the Board of Directors on December 12, 2019.

All window AC units in buildings 3 stories or higher and not contained within a balcony have been removed with the exception of a small number of units (approximately 3%) that require further assistance from TCHC Tenancy Management staff to move forward with removal.

Phase 2

The replacement of units removed in Phase 1 will begin in late February, with the existing stock of warehoused portable AC units. Deployment of the remaining conditioners will continue in the spring, upon the March 2020 delivery. All 6,840 window AC units identified in Phase 1 are scheduled for replacement by June 2020.

Page 65: Toronto Community Housing Corporation BUILDING … BIFA… · provided a PowerPoint presentation and was available to answer questions from BIFAC members. Highlights of discussion:

Page 3 of 3

Simultaneously, TCHC will proceed with the AC Exchange Program and remove window AC units not captured during Phase 1. It is anticipated that with the expansion of the AC Exchange Program, TCHC will exchange over 14,000 window AC units in total.
