How to get the term id inside the start lvl method of category walker?

I'm trying to implement the category walker with wp_list_categories to help me manipulate list classes, which i want to get the term id within the start_lvl method, so i tried to use $category-term_id but errors thrown. now i just want to get the term id inside the start_lvl method to match the one i used inside the start_el output, please check this line in the following class

$output .= "span id=\"$category-term_id\" class=\"toggle\" onClick=\"toggleMe(this.id);\" style=\"cursor:pointer\"#9660/span";

I just copied the Walker_Category class and edited it to be like this:

            ?php
        //error_reporting(E_ALL);
