Decision Content
NATURE OF THE APPEAL:
This order disposes of the remaining issues arising from my interim decision in Order
MO-2451-I.
The appeal arises out of an access request submitted to the City of Toronto (the City), pursuant to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The request was submitted on February 22, 2008 and was for the following information pertaining to the Emery Village Business Improvement Association (the EVBIA):
Minutes to the [EVBIA] from July 2007 to the present, along with all sub-committee minutes and minutes to the approved Annual General Meeting of November 28, 2006.
In April 2008, the requester (now the appellant) filed an appeal with this office, advising that he had not received a decision from the City in response to his request. The City of Toronto subsequently issued a decision to the appellant on April 28, 2008, and that appeal was closed.
