NEWS RELEASE 

Randy Pettapiece, MPP | Perth-Wellington 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

October 16, 2012 

Liberals trying to duck accountability, says MPP Pettapiece 

(Queen’s Park) – By shutting down the legislature, the Liberal government is once again putting its own 

political interest above the public interest, charges Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece. 

"The Premier has the right to step down whenever he wants," Pettapiece acknowledged. "Certainly, he 

deserves our gratitude for so many years of public service.” 

"But the Premier's stepping down is no reason to suspend the legislature. My constituents rightly expect 

that MPPs should be at work at Queen's Park dealing with critical issues facing Ontario. We can't afford to 

ignore the serious problems facing the province until it's convenient for the Liberals." 

Until Premier McGuinty prorogued the legislature, opposition MPPs had been trying to get to the bottom of 

the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted on cancelled power plants in Oakville and Mississauga, and the 

government's refusal to turn over all the related documents. 

"The premier’s timing in shutting down the legislature is irresponsible and extremely disappointing," said 

Pettapiece. 

He continued: "The government shut down the legislature at a time when about 600,000 people don't have 

jobs and when the province has a deficit of $14 billion. They don't want to be held accountable for that 

record, or for their power plant scandals or for their Ornge ambulance scandal." 

Under the rules of the legislature, the government must, when proroguing the House, announce the 

approximate date on which the Assembly will be reconvened. The Liberal government has not done that, 

Pettapiece noted, which again puts the government at odds with the rules of the legislature. 

Even though the legislature is shut down until further notice, Pettapiece will be working from his 

constituency office and meeting with constituents throughout Perth-Wellington. 

Recently Pettapiece has advocated strongly for the horse-racing industry and for those affected by the 

Liberal government's wind farms policy. He has also spoken in the legislature on behalf of first responders 

and successfully passed a motion calling attention to issues affecting rural Ontario and the rural-urban 

divide. In early October, he hosted two agriculture open houses in celebration of Ontario Agriculture Week.

NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING 

CONCERNING PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT 

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of North Perth will hold a public 

meeting on October 22, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the North Perth Municipal 

Offices (330 Wallace Ave. North, Listowel) to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under 

Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. 

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) application (which the Municipality has deemed to be 

complete) affects property in the Municipality of North Perth (Listowel Ward) described as Part of Lots 22 

and 23, Concession 1 formerly in Wallace Township, now in the Listowel Ward. The subject property is 

owned by W. Leon Perkin and Helen E. Perkin. 

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will not change the zone classification of the subject property 

(shown in hatching on the attached map) from the “Future Development Zone (FD-10)” of By-law No. 6- 

ZB-1999 but rather will amend the “FD-10” zone provisions to delete references to any new building or 

structure being permitted on the subject property. In addition, the proposed revised provisions will 

recognize the reduced lot area of the subject property. 

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will change the zone classification of the subject property 

(shown in stippling on the attached map) from the “Future Development Zone (FD-10)” to the 

“Residential Zone One (R1)” of By-law No. 6-ZB-1999. The “R1” zone permits: single-detached 

dwellings; home occupations; and accessory buildings and structures. 

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is being considered by North Perth Council on the basis of an 

application submitted by the property owners. The property owners wish to amend the Zoning By-law to 

fulfill one of the conditions imposed by the County of Perth’s Land Division Committee (application 

B15/12) to sever the subject parcel from the balance of the property (shown in hatching on the attached 

map). It should be noted that the Land Division Committee’s decision has been appealed to the Ontario 

Municipal Board. 

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in 

support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. 

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written 

submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of North Perth before the by-law is 

passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation 

of the Municipality of North Perth to the Ontario Municipal Board. 

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written 

submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of North Perth before the by-law is 

passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the 

Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available for 

inspection during office hours at the Municipal Office.

BY-LAW NO. 115-2012 

EXPLANATORY NOTE 

By-law No. 115-2012 of the Corporation of the Municipality of North Perth is an amendment to 

the Municipality of North Perth Zoning By-law No. 6-ZB-1999 and affects property in the 

Municipality of North Perth (Listowel Ward) described as Part of Lots 22 and 23, Concession 1 

formerly in Wallace Township, now in the Listowel Ward. The subject property is owned by W. 

Leon Perkin and Helen E. Perkin. 

By-law No. 115-2012 does not change the zone classification of the subject property (shown in 

hatching on the attached map) from the “Future Development Zone (FD-10)” of By-law No. 6- 

ZB-1999 but rather amends the “FD-10” zone provisions to delete references to any new 

building or structure being permitted on the subject property. In addition, By-law No. 115-2012 

recognizes the reduced lot area of the subject property. 

By-law No. 115-2012 changes the zone classification of the subject property (shown in 

stippling on the attached map) from the “Future Development Zone (FD-10)” to the “Residential 

Zone One (R1)” of By-law No. 6-ZB-1999. The “R1” zone permits: single-detached dwellings; 

home occupations; and accessory buildings and structures. 

By-law No. 115-2012 was adopted by the Municipality of North Perth Council on the basis of 

an application submitted by the property owners. The property owners wish to amend the 

Zoning By-law to fulfill one of the conditions imposed by the County of Perth’s Land Division 

Committee (application B15/12) to sever the subject parcel from the balance of the property 

(shown in hatching on the attached map). It should be noted that the Land Division 

Committee’s decision has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. 

Schedule "A" to the attached By-law No. 115-2012 is a map showing the location and zoning of the 

subject property.

REPORT 

TO: 

North Perth Council 

FROM: 

Kriss Snell, CAO 

DATE: October 18, 2012 

SUBJECT: North Perth Industrial Park Lot Concept 

PURPOSE OF REPORT: 

To provide Council with information and recommendation regarding the North Perth Industrial Park 

proposed lot concept. 

BACKGROUND: 

Potential industrial businesses and developers are currently looking for lots in the range of half an 

acre to 2 acres. The current inventory of municipally owned industrial lands is larger lots ranging from 

2 acres up to 20 acres. MHBC Planning was retained to provide concepts dividing the 20 acre parcel 

into a variety of smaller parcels. Five concepts were presented to Council on July 9, 2012. Based on 

the initial feedback from Council, MHBC has created Lotting Concept 5. 

COMMENTS: 

The Concept offers a variety of lot sizes and provides for internal road access and servicing. The 

downside to Option 5 is a long and expensive street with many lots having frontage on two or more 

streets. Storm water facilities will be required for Lots E and F. A plan of subdivision will be required 

to add a new road. Engineering plans need be completed by Gamsby and Mannerow Limited who 

worked on the initial industrial park. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT: 

To date the sale of land from the Hoover property has covered all the expenses, including, but not 

limited to, original purchase price, legal fees, development cost. It is anticipated that all future 

expenses will be covered by land sales. 

i.e. 

+/- 24 acres (total land available) X $42,000 per acre = $1,008,000 plus $161,000 from existing 

offer agreement. 

Preliminary construction estimate is approx. $900,000 plus area pre-grading ($200,000) and hydro 

estimated at $50,000. 

A detailed budget will be presented to Council once engineering is complete. 

ATTACHMENTS: 

Lotting Concept Option 5 

RECOMMENDATION: 

That the Council accept “Lotting Concept Option 5” for the North Perth Industrial Park and that 

additional preliminary engineering work be completed by Gamsby and Mannerow, in order that a 

detail capital budget plan can be presented to Council at a future date.

REPORT 

TO: 

Council 

FROM: 

Frances Hale, Director of Finance/Treasurer 

DATE: October 22 nd , 2012 

SUBJECT: Perth Meadows Long Term Debenture #35-12 


To seek Council’s approval to transition the financing debenture with Infrastructure 

Ontario from short term to long term for the Perth Adult Life Care Residents project. 

BACKGROUND 

The Municipality of North Perth acquired the Perth Meadows project last fall with of 

the provision of short term financing from Infrastructure Ontario. At this time, the 

financing has to be transitioned to long-term or repaid. 

The long term debenture parameters are set for 25 years at the current interest rate 

provided by Infrastructure Ontario on October 29 th , 2012. Currently, the interest rate 

is 3.61% for the 25 year term. 

At this time, the transition process requires the completion of various documents by 

the Mayor and Treasurer. On October 29 th , the municipality will receive an interest 

rate offer from Infrastructure Ontario that has to be accepted, signed and sealed by 

the Mayor and Treasurer. An example copy of the form is attached. 

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS 

To receive the reduced interest rate for the 25 year term to adequately manage the 

annual repayment, the term has to be locked in for the term provided. In the event 

that the units are all occupied or the project is transferred to a not for profit 

corporation in the future, the loan financing would have to remain with the 

municipality but could be repurposed to another municipal project such at 

bridge/road work, sewage plant, arena, etc. 

In light of the financing required and future infrastructure work facing the 

municipality, the long term commitment and favourable interest rate presents itself as 

a good long term financing arrangement for the municipality. 


Motion: 

That the Council of the Municipality of North Perth authorize the Mayor and Treasurer 

to accept the interest rate provided by Infrastructure Ontario for long term debenture 

financing of the Perth Adult Life Care Residence project on October 29 th and that the 

debenture financing by-law be tabled for final consideration at the November 5 th 

meeting of Council.

REPORT 

Council 

Jamie Morgan, Manager of Operations and 


DATE: October 22 nd , 2012 

SUBJECT: Water/Sewer Rate Adjustment for 2013 #36-12 


To seek Council’s approval to adjust the Water/Sewer Rates for 2013 as per the Water and Water 

and Wastewater Rates – 2012-2016. 

BACKGROUND 

The financial review with Peter Harrison and Jane Simmon from BM Ross was an excellent process 

completed in 2011. The significant increases required in the water and wastewater rates, to ensure 

the municipality achieves ongoing sustainability and compliance under the Ontario Regulation 

453/07, was outlined in a report to Council at the end of the study. 

Staff reworked the rate recommendation presented by BMRoss and revised the rates to phase in the 

financial impact to our customers over a four to seven year period. Proposed 2012 rates and rate 

estimates for 2013-2016 were approved by Council last year and attached for review. The phasing 

moves towards a single ICI block and modifies connection sizing to ranges: < 25mm, 26mm-50mm, 

> 51mm. 

Staff is seeking Council’s approval to ratify the 2013 rates to be brought back under by-law 

November 5 th , 2012 to be effective for the February 28 th , 2013 billing (December 20 th , 2012 to 

February 21 st , 2013 usage). 

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS 

To maintain financial sustainability for both services, a revenue increase is required as per the 

Financial Plan developed. The proposed rate increases required were modified by Council to phase 

in the financial impact. It is proposed to implement the second year of the 5 year plan as attached. 


Motion: 

That the Council of the Municipality of North Perth approve the 2013 Water and Wastewater Rates, 

both volumetric and base, as presented, for implementation as of the February 28 th , 2013 billing 

covering December 20 th , 2012 to February 21 st , 2013 usage and further that the rates and fees bylaw 

be amended as such.

WASTE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION CHANGE 

For Council Information regarding Collection Changes for Atwood and Newry 

Emails from Bluewater Recycling Association dated October 16, 2012 

Hi Mark: 

Upon reviewing the routes and schedule we have found a serious imbalance on 

Wednesday that is causing our vehicles to be later than desired. As a result, we will be 

moving the Hamlets of Atwood and Newry to Monday instead of Wednesday effective 

November 5. 

We will notify all the affected residents of the upcoming change. 

Francis Veilleux | President

P.O. Box 547

Huron Park, ON N0M 1Y0 

Hi Mark: 

We don't like making changes anymore than you do. In this case, the imbalance is such 

that with the winter weather or any breakdowns could affect our ability to complete the 

route within the legal allowable timeframe. 

We agree that mass mail out has not been that successful in recent years and we are 

equally concerned with the reach of the newspapers. 

In this case here, we are simply changing the day from Wednesday to Monday for two 

very defined urban areas. The collection frequency (weekly/biweekly) and schedule 

(green week) remains the same. We intend to produce a removable sticker announcing 

the change to be affixed to all affected containers in those areas. An updated calendar 

will be available for those who need one (see enclosure). 

If someone misses the change and places their container out on Wednesday, they will 

not be collected that day. We can collect their materials the following Monday.

North Perth Calendar 

Starting April 30th, the new automated collection program will be introduced in your 

community. As a result, your collection day will change so please refer to the calendar 

and legend below to identify your new collection schedule. In the rural areas, waste and 

recyclables will be collected at the same time with the same vehicle in a two compartment 

truck. In the urban areas, it is more likely that your waste bin will be collected 

first, while your recycling bin will be collected later in the day. We recommend that you 

still set out both containers at the same time to ensure collection as we may use a two 

compartment truck in certain areas from time to time. Keep this schedule on your fridge!

How to Use Your New Bin Collection Area Collection Day Waste Week Recycling Week 

• Please start using your bins in accordance with the schedule in this pamphlet. 

• Place your bins out for collection in the same location as they were delivered. How you place your bins at the curb is very important. 

Unless you have been contacted with special instructions, please place your bins at the curb as follows: 

• Park it – Place your bins just off the roadway on the shoulder, grass, or driveway. 

• Point it – The arrow on the bin lid must point to the centre of the road. 

• Space it – Leave at least 1 meter of clearance between each bin and any obstacles such as parked cars, poles & mailboxes. 

• Separating your bins one arms length is ideal. Bins improperly spaced may not be emptied. 

• Prepare your bins. All material must fit within the bin and the lid must be closed. 

• No extra materials will be collected. Recycle all you can. Breakdown boxes. Flatten containers. 

• Have your bins out by 7:00 a.m. This will ensure they are picked up on your scheduled collection day. 

• Mix all recyclables and leave materials loose in the bin. Do NOT place recyclables in bags, except shredded paper and plastic bags. 75 

• Set out only when full.

REPORT

Committee 

FROM: 

Mark Hackett, Public Works 


SUBJECT: Automated Waste Bin Fees 


To outline the proposed amendments to the North Perth Rates and Fees bylaw. 

COMMENTS: 

The following table illustrates the fee structure for the waste portion of the automated 

collection program in North Perth and surrounding areas serviced by the Bluewater 

Recycling Association (BRA): 

Bin Size 

North Perth Current 

Annual Waste Bin Fee 

BRA Average Waste Bin 

Fee 

North Perth 2013 

Proposed Annual Waste 

Bin Fee 

Small $80.00 $89.67 $85.00 

Medium $120.00 $130.29 $127.50 

Large $160.00 $186.33 $170.00 

During the development of the automated collection program in North Perth, efforts 

were made to implement a waste bin fee that would adequately meet the needs of the 

solid waste management budget. As noted in my report to council on September 10, 

2012, Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) grant money is not being distributed this year by 

BRA. The budgeted 2012 WDO grant money amounted to $89,000, which is seventyfive 

percent of the full allocation available. At a BRA Technical Committee meeting on 

October 18, 2012, it was announced that there would be no WDO funding distributed in 

2013. 

The proposed adjustment of the waste bin rates will absorb some of the impact of the 

WDO grant money not being distributed by BRA. 

BUDGET/STAFF IMPLICATIONS: 

The proposed waste bin fee adjustment will provide additional revenue of approximately 

$19,500 annually.

Dear Pat- 

The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 259 Listowel, is once again planning to parade from
