MO-1227

The City of Toronto (the City) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (the Act) for a copy of the following records:

1. all news clipping albums collected by the office of the former North York Mayor Mel Lastman;
   
   
2. a list of all items, gifts, personal items etc. that were donated by the former mayor's office and Marilyn Lastman to the City of North York/City of Toronto;
   
   
3. all memos and documents relating to the appraisal of the donated items; and
   
   
4. all memos and documents relating to any tax benefits derived by the Lastmans from these donations.

The City denied access to any records responsive to Parts 1 and 2 of the request on the basis that they fell within the scope of section 52(2) and therefore outside the jurisdiction of the Act. The requester appealed this decision (Appeal MA-980260-1).
