A report released on Friday outlined the details of the incident and concluded that engineers identified there was no immediate safety risk.
“The results of this investigation determine that city officials acted in the best interest of the public,” said Tory’s spokesperson, Amanda Galbraith.
“The City of Toronto has also invoiced Talon International for the staffing costs that were incurred in relation to the road closure. The Mayor will be urging the Toronto Police to do the same so the responsible parties are held to account to the full extent of the law.”
The city has issued an invoice to Talon International in the sum of $2,008.81 for the cost of maintaining the closure of roads and sidewalks during the incident.
Toronto Police confirmed with Global News they are currently looking into invoicing Talon International for the Trump Tower spire incident as well.
This isn’t the first time Trump Tower has faced issues around structure safety.
