The subject lands are approximately 31.348ha in size and are located entirely within the boundary <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan, which wasapproved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in April <strong>of</strong> 2007. Specifically they are locatedin the southeast corner <strong>of</strong> the Secondary Plan. A key map showing the location <strong>of</strong> the subjectlands is Attachment 1 to this Report. A copy <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan Schedule ‘G’ isAttachment 2 (please note this Schedule has been incorporated into the <strong>Town</strong> Official Plan andis now the Official land use schedule for Lefroy).The LSAMI P3 Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision is one <strong>of</strong> four draft plans <strong>of</strong> subdivision in Lefroy thathave been filed with the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe for the purpose <strong>of</strong> implementing the LefroySecondary Plan. The other three draft plans, LSAMI P1, P2 and P4, were referred to the OMBin 2005 along with the Secondary Plan, and were Draft Approved by the OMB in June <strong>of</strong> 2008.As LSAMI P3 was never referred to the OMB, the LSAMI P3 Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision is theonly one <strong>of</strong> the four LSAMI subdivisions that went through the standard public process underthe Planning Act, and for which <strong>Council</strong> can adopt proposed Draft Plan Conditions and approvean implementing Zoning By-law Amendment.A Public Meeting was held for this development (the Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision and Zoning BylawAmendment applications) on May 27, 2008, and notice was provided in accordance with theprovisions <strong>of</strong> the Planning Act. A reduced copy <strong>of</strong> the plan that was presented at this PublicMeeting is Attachment 3. <strong>Town</strong> responses to public comments provided at this meeting arefound in this Report under the section titled ‘Responses to Public Comments’ (page 6).Subsequent to the Public Meeting, the lands were acquired by a new owner (Baywood Homes(2226903 Ontario Limited)) and as a result, the plan has been modified and various technicalissues have been addressed through the peer review process from the earlier Draft Plansubmission. A copy <strong>of</strong> the revised Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision is Attachment 4. A copy <strong>of</strong> thePublic Meeting Minutes is Attachment 5, and public correspondence received is Attachment 6.Notice that this revised plan is being considered by <strong>Council</strong> has been sent to all those whowrote, spoke or signed the guestbook at the May 27, 2008 public meeting.The revisions to the Draft Plan are described in the following section. The County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe,who is the approval authority for subdivisions, has considered the proposed changes to beminor and has not requested that the municipality hold an additional Public Meeting.In support <strong>of</strong> the revised Draft Plan, a number <strong>of</strong> technical reports have been submitted,including an Archaeological Assessment, Functional Servicing Report, Traffic Impact Study,Noise Feasibility Study, Environmental Impact Study, Hydrogeological Investigation Report, anda Planning Justification Report, which have been peer reviewed by the <strong>Town</strong>’s consultants andthe Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA). Some issues that have beenconsidered are the impact on the Provincially Significant Wetland, in particular as related towater balance, the impact on local wells, the high water table <strong>of</strong> the area and stormwatermanagement.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The following is a review <strong>of</strong> the proposed Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision with respect to Provincialpolicies and planning documents, County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe and <strong>Town</strong> Official Plan and Inspiring <strong>Innisfil</strong>2020, and the <strong>Town</strong> Zoning By-law No. 054-04.Details <strong>of</strong> the Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision

Additionally, the revised plan contains no townhouse blocks, a one unitincrease in the seniors housing block (82 units), 120 units <strong>of</strong> single-detached residential(increased from 82 units), a larger stormwater pond block, a walkway block, and eight (8) 0.3mreserves.Approximately two thirds <strong>of</strong> the total land area <strong>of</strong> the subdivision is proposed for ProvinciallySignificant Wetlands and the preservation <strong>of</strong> existing forest lands, and this corresponds with thelocation <strong>of</strong> the designated Natural Environmental Area on Schedule ‘G’ <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy SecondaryPlan (Attachment 2). The location <strong>of</strong> these protected lands was established in theEnvironmental Minutes <strong>of</strong> Settlement, dated December 2006, which states that no developmentcan occur further than 310 metres south <strong>of</strong> Killarney Beach Road.Proposed Draft Plan Conditions are Attachment 7 to this Report. Many <strong>of</strong> these conditions areadapted from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) approved LSAMI P1, P2 and P4 Draft PlanConditions. The conditions cover issues ranging from site hydrogeology to noise, parkland,stormwater management, zoning, and other matters. The conditions have been reviewed by the<strong>Town</strong> engineering department, planning department, peer review consultants, and Lake SimcoeRegion Conservation Authority (LSRCA). The LSRCA’s proposed conditions, which would beincorporated into the conditions by the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe subsequent to <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Council</strong> adoptingthe <strong>Town</strong>’s conditions, are Attachment 9.Provincial Policy Statement 2005 (PPS)With respect to the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2005, the Application is consistent withthe PPS in that it directs growth inside <strong>of</strong> an existing Settlement Area in the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>Official Plan, on lands designated for residential purposes. It also provides higher densities anda mix <strong>of</strong> land uses (Section 1.1.3.2 <strong>of</strong> the PPS), provides a range <strong>of</strong> housing types and densities(Section 1.4.3), and makes for efficient use <strong>of</strong> infrastructure and public service facilities (Section1.6.1) due to its central location in the community <strong>of</strong> Lefroy. Studies have been submitted whichindicate that the Application respects Natural Heritage (Section 2.1), with respect to thepreservation <strong>of</strong> the Provincially Significant Wetland (known as the Wilson’s Creek WetlandComplex) and surrounding forest lands in the southern portion <strong>of</strong> the subject lands. Thesestudies in particular as related to water balance have been peer reviewed by the <strong>Town</strong> toensure that the Wetland will not be negatively affected.Places to Grow – Provincial Growth PlanWith respect to the Places to Grow Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, aminimum density target <strong>of</strong> 50 residents and jobs combined per hectare is required for“designated greenfield areas”, as per Section 2.2.7.2 <strong>of</strong> the Growth Plan. The densitiesrequired to conform to the Growth Plan were first established in the Lefroy Secondary Plan, andLSAMI P3 must conform to the Lefroy Secondary Plan, hence meeting the density target.


Staff Report DSR-104-13 July 10, 2013Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision – LSAMI P3 (I-T-0704) Proposed Conditions and ZBA Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 9LSAMI P3 would contribute to the guiding principles <strong>of</strong> the Growth Plan by developing acompact, vibrant community with sustainable housing and transportation options, conservingnatural resources, and optimizing infrastructure.County Official Plan ConformityThe subject lands are designated “Settlement” on Schedule 5.1 <strong>of</strong> the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe OfficialPlan. The proposed redevelopment would be consistent with the policies <strong>of</strong> the County <strong>of</strong>Simcoe Official Plan.<strong>Town</strong> Official Plan ConformityWith respect to the <strong>Town</strong> Official Plan, the subject lands are located entirely within theboundaries <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Large Urban Policy Area on Schedule G <strong>of</strong> the existing Official Plan,and the Lefroy Bell Ewart Urban Settlement Area on Schedule B3 <strong>of</strong> the new Official Plan. Thesubject lands are also located entirely within the boundaries <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan, andthus, must conform to the provisions <strong>of</strong> this document.The Lefroy Secondary Plan, which was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in April <strong>of</strong>2007, contains several objectives relating to the development <strong>of</strong> the subject lands as well asland use policies that correspond to the designations shown on Schedule ‘G’ (Attachment 2 tothis Report). The objectives <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan, stated in Section 8.1.2, are todevelop a predominantly residential community that is centred on a revitalized Central Corearea, to provide for a range <strong>of</strong> housing types and densities, while maintaining village character,to accommodate community facilities such as parks, recreational and institutional facilities thatare safe and conveniently accessible, and meet growing resident needs, to ensure the drainageand stormwater management systems are well-designed and constructed to further reduce thepotential for downstream flooding, to maintain the hydrologic function <strong>of</strong> wetlands and othernatural heritage features, to maintain a north-south linkage through the centre <strong>of</strong> the Plan Areaadjacent to the rail corridor, and several other objectives. The proposed LSAMI P3 draft planmeets these objectives, in that it is predominantly residential, centred around the Central Coreare <strong>of</strong> Lefroy, provides for several housing types and densities, including single-detached lots <strong>of</strong>varying sizes and seniors housing, includes a public park and stormwater management pond,and allows a connection to the proposed north-south trail system.The LSAMI P3 plan <strong>of</strong> subdivision is designated Natural Environmental Area, Core Commercial,Residential Policy Area, Special Policy Area, Parkland-Parkette, Stormwater ManagementFacilities, Residential Low Density 1 and Residential Low Density 2 in the Lefroy SecondaryPlan. The revised LSAMI P3 draft plan <strong>of</strong> subdivision has been reviewed by the <strong>Town</strong>’splanning consultant and conforms to the policies <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan. The proposedplan and associated zoning by-law amendment also has regard for the Lefroy Urban DesignGuidelines, and has been designed to provide a transition to adjacent existing development.Zoning By-law ComplianceThe lands proposed to be rezoned to implement the Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision are currentlyzoned Agricultural General (AG) Zone in the <strong>Town</strong> Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 054-04.The lands are proposed to be rezoned from “Agricultural General (AG) Zone” to “Residential FullService Exception Hold (R1FS-28(H)) Zone”, “Residential Full Service Exception Hold (R2FS-7(H)) Zone”, “Residential Full Service Exception Hold (R3FS-2(H)) Zone”, “Commercial CoreException Hold (CC-11(H)) Zone”, “Open Space (OS) Zone” and “Environmental Protection

Thesubdivision has been evaluated in context <strong>of</strong> the landuses that are approved for that site and conforms tothe Secondary Plan. The southern portion <strong>of</strong> thelands closest to 1374 3 rd line are proposed to remainundeveloped as a Natural Environmental Area as perthe Minutes <strong>of</strong> Settlement.

Traffic impacts have been reviewed bythe <strong>Town</strong>’s traffic consultant and engineeringdepartment, and no traffic issues are anticipated withrespect to proposed internal or existing roads.Policies <strong>of</strong> the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan withrespect to water quality and quantity are required tobe addressed in the Subdivision Agreement, as perthe attached Draft Plan conditions.Concerns respecting location <strong>of</strong> thedevelopment adjacent to existingProvincially Significant WetlandRequest for buffer between newresidential lots and lots fronting on PineAvenueConcerns scale <strong>of</strong> park too smallProperties at the southeast intersection<strong>of</strong> Pine Avenue and Killarney BeachRoad and flooding concerns re: run-<strong>of</strong>fThe subdivision has been reviewed by the LakeSimcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) andthe <strong>Town</strong>’s environmental consultant, as well ascirculated for review by other commenting agencies,and the <strong>Town</strong> and agencies are satisfied theproposed development will meet the requirements <strong>of</strong>development adjacent to a Provincially SignificantWetland.The Lefroy Secondary Plan policies, which wereapproved in 2007 by the OMB, provide that newresidential lots shall be located adjacent to theexisting lots on Pine Avenue within the areadesignated as “Residential Low Density” (shown onAttachment 2). The <strong>Town</strong> cannot remove lots fromthis area without agreement from the developer, sincethis was the outcome <strong>of</strong> the public process thatcreated the Secondary Plan. However, the newresidential lots shall be <strong>of</strong> similar width to the lots onPine Avenue, which the Draft Plan has provided.Also, the Draft Conditions (Attachment 7) provide arequirement for a 4m landscaping buffer and privacyfencing (Condition 62).A ‘Neighbourhood Park’, which is a larger communitypark, has not been designated for this subdivision inthe Lefroy Secondary Plan, only a parkette(Attachment 2). The parkland area in the subdivision,which is 0.675 ha, has been provided in accordancewith the policies <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Secondary Plan and thePlanning Act, which requires 5% <strong>of</strong> the proposeddevelopment or land area or the equivalent <strong>of</strong> 1hectare for every 300 units, whichever is the greater,or cash-in-lieu.The stormwater management issues respecting thisdevelopment have been reviewed by the <strong>Town</strong>’s peerreview consultants and Lake Simcoe Region

TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTSTAFF REPORT NO: DSR-108-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>FROM:Lockie Davis, Director <strong>of</strong> Finance and Customer Service/CFOSUBJECT:Information Technology Master PlanRECOMMENDATION:THAT the I.T. Master Plan report be adopted by <strong>Council</strong>; andTHAT the Manager <strong>of</strong> Information Technology be directed to utilize the findings andrecommendations in the report as the basis for developing future business plans andoperating and capital budget requests; andTHAT <strong>Council</strong> approve the I.T. Master Plan implementation projects as identified in DSR-108-13 utilizing the $75,000 funding approved by resolution CR-099-11.13.BACKGROUND:The approved 2013 capital budget includes funds to develop an Information Technology MasterPlan. Utilizing an RFP process, staff engaged the services <strong>of</strong> Prior & Prior Associates Ltd. todevelop the master plan. As part <strong>of</strong> the plan development the consultants interviewed theMayor, SMT and I.T. staff and circulated surveys to <strong>Council</strong>, staff and comparator municipalities.This input as well as the consultant’s observations <strong>of</strong> best practices from other organizationsassisted them in the development <strong>of</strong> their report.As reported to <strong>Council</strong> in staff report DSR-085-13 the <strong>Town</strong> had a 2012 operating surplus. Itwas recommended and <strong>Council</strong> approved through R-099-11.13 that $75,000 <strong>of</strong> the surplus wasto be used to fund capital initiatives identified in the I.T. Master Plan subject to staff providingdetails on how the funds would be utilized.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The I.T. Master Plan, attached to this report, indicates that the I.T. staff team has done a goodjob <strong>of</strong> establishing solid technical foundations and reliable core I.T. services for the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Innisfil</strong>. Despite the relatively small staff complement, the analysis found I.T. Services isdelivering a high level <strong>of</strong> customer satisfaction with the range <strong>of</strong> services being provided.…/


Staff Report DSR-108-13 July 10, 2013Information Technology Master Plan Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 4Survey Result: IT Service SatisfactionEmerging pressures relating to changes in technology along with new demands from a growingmunicipality and staff population are placing increasing reliance on information technologysolutions to be as effective and efficient as possible. According to the Gartner I.T. ManagementMaturity Model (below), the <strong>Town</strong> currently is at Level 1 on a scale from 0 – 4. Being at Level 1or below is not unusual for smaller municipalities, however to realize more effective value fromI.T., the service area should be operating closer to level 3 and ultimately level 4.Gartner IT Management Maturity Model


Staff Report DSR-108-13 July 10, 2013Information Technology Master Plan Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 4In order to meet these additional demands and move to a Level 3 or above on the Gartnermodel, several projects and initiatives that will modify how I.T. delivers services are beingrecommended. These include finding efficiencies in existing s<strong>of</strong>tware applications, developingpartnerships with other organizations, outsourcing some “commoditized” I.T. services andimplementing a revised I.T. governance model to ensure corporate needs are prioritized andaddressed.In order to implement some <strong>of</strong> the recommendations immediately, staff are requesting that thefunds approved by resolution CR-099-11.13 be utilized as outlined in the table below. A briefdescription <strong>of</strong> each new project follows.Item Cost EstimatedOperatingImpactAnticipatedStartNew orExistingProjectHosted Email 20,000 4,500 2013 NewFinancial S<strong>of</strong>tware Optimization Review 5,000 2013 NewFinancial S<strong>of</strong>tware Improvements (Phase1 <strong>of</strong> 2) 22,500 2,100 2014 NewMOAR Consulting - Review, backup 7,500 2014 NewIT Infrastructure Enhancements 7,500 2013 IT58GIS Solutions Plan 12,500 2014 NewTOTAL 75,000 6,600Hosted Email – This project involves engaging a third party to host the <strong>Town</strong>’s email system inthe “cloud” and not on the <strong>Town</strong>’s servers. This service arrangement would mean <strong>Innisfil</strong> doesnot have to purchase and implement hardware, s<strong>of</strong>tware and backup infrastructure for email.Fewer demands are placed on I.T. staff to manage the email services, allowing more staff timefor other more specialized projects. Support is available from a dedicated team <strong>of</strong> emailadministrators who are fully trained on the selected solution and reduces the risk to theCorporation <strong>of</strong> a disruption in service from staff turnover and absences for this critical businesscommunication medium. Several municipalities are investigating this option with some largermunicipalities in Ontario having already made the change.Financial S<strong>of</strong>tware Optimization and Review – Current financial systems were implementedin 2003 and 2004. Since that time, capabilities <strong>of</strong> this s<strong>of</strong>tware has changed as well as the<strong>Town</strong>’s processes and requirements. This project will involve a review <strong>of</strong> existing s<strong>of</strong>twareconfigurations and integrations and an analysis <strong>of</strong> how they can be better leveraged to meet the<strong>Town</strong>’s requirements will be formailized into actionable recommendations. The resultingrecommendations would then be implemented over two years to be completed in 2015.MOAR Review and Backup – MOAR is <strong>Innisfil</strong>’s in-house developed s<strong>of</strong>tware application forcustomer inquiries, building permits, animal licensing among other uses. This project proposesa third party review <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware and documentation. A secondary goal <strong>of</strong> this is to familiarizesome other s<strong>of</strong>tware developers with the system to act as a backup programming and supportresource that would also reduce risk and vulnerability to the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> an integral s<strong>of</strong>twareapplication not be functional in the event <strong>of</strong> staff turnover.GIS Solutions Plan – This project will outline various solutions and processes to meet mappingand other Geographic Information System (GIS) needs outlined in the I.T. Master Plan as well


Staff Report DSR-108-13 July 10, 2013Information Technology Master Plan Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 4as other service area needs. Some review <strong>of</strong> existing solutions and requirements will beundertaken.Additionally, staff are recommending the following changes to the existing 2013 capital projectsto more effectively utilize funding that reflects recommendations contained in the IT MasterPlan:1. Transfer estimated savings <strong>of</strong> $20,000 from project IT68 – Information TechnologyMaster Plan to the new project “Financial S<strong>of</strong>tware Optimization Review” for a totalproject budget <strong>of</strong> $25,000.2. Cancel project IT41 – Server Replacement 2012 and transfer $10,000 allocated funds toIT58 – Disaster Recovery. By consolidating servers, not as many hardware servers arerequired. The additional funds will allow procurement <strong>of</strong> a storage device <strong>of</strong> adequatesize and provide implementation services and training for IT staff. Some upgrades toexisting servers will be required as well that will be completed with these funds.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:1. <strong>Council</strong> could choose to receive the I.T. Master Plan as information only.2. <strong>Council</strong> could direct staff to revise the recommended projects by adding items notspecifically identified in the I.T. Master Plan and deleting recommended items to staywithin the $75,000 funding allocation previously approved.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:<strong>Council</strong> has already approved $75,000 from the 2012 operating surplus be used for I.T. MasterPlan initiatives. Staff are recommending spending these funds as per the schedule above. Allfuture financial requirements to implement other aspects <strong>of</strong> the IT Master Plan strategies will beaddressed through future operating and capital budget requests and related approvalprocesses.CONCLUSION:This report presents <strong>Council</strong> with the findings from the Information Technology Master Plan.The recommendation to adopt the report, direct staff to implement the recommendations and touse funds approved in resolution CR-099-11.13 will allow staff to immediately beginimplementing projects outlined in the plan.PREPARED BY:Grant CowanManager <strong>of</strong> Information TechnologyAPPROVED BY:________________________Lockie DavisDirector <strong>of</strong> Finance and Customer Service/CFO

Executive SummaryIn today’s world technology has become all-pervasive. Whether banking from yoursmartphone, tracking a parcel to its destination, ordering supplies or gifts online orconnecting and communicating with friends and colleagues in all corners <strong>of</strong> the world –technology is at the centre <strong>of</strong> these connections and transactions.The worlds most successful businesses, from the largest to the smallest use technologyto power their business operations and deliver customer service excellence. So too doesthe <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>. Access to technology has become ubiquitous and critical to servicedelivery in most departments. Email and smartphones power communications andcollaboration, systems that track customers requests and process applications forpermits and licenses ensure that tasks are allocated to the right staff, that they aretracked and completed, access to financial and performance data supports seniordecision making and customers access services online to pay for services or to make arecreation booking. These are but a few examples – quite simply, technology hasbecome so embedded into the organization that the <strong>Town</strong> could not function without it.With an understanding <strong>of</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> technology to the future success <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Town</strong>, it engaged Prior & Prior Associates, a firm with extensive municipal IT Strategyexperience and expertise, to facilitate the development <strong>of</strong> a Five year Master IT Plan inearly 2013.The consultant’s current state IT assessment indicates that the <strong>Town</strong> has done goodwork in establishing solid technical foundations, including high speed internal networks,a corporate data centre and reliable core IT services. The IT team is performing well,with high levels <strong>of</strong> satisfaction with its services, despite its relatively small size.However new pressures are emerging: users and managers are demanding access tonew tools, devices and services that are not currently provided by the IT team. There aremajor opportunities for improvement in the way that the <strong>Town</strong> uses its core businesssystems (e.g. finance, HR and work management systems) to manage its businessoperations. It is clear that senior management expects IT to play a larger role inidentifying ways in which IT can deliver efficiencies, customer service enhancementsand cost savings in departments.To address these opportunities, the strategy recommends that the <strong>Town</strong>:1. Accept that IT should play a more high pr<strong>of</strong>ile role as a strategic enabler <strong>of</strong>effective and efficient government,2. Endorse the strategic themes and major initiatives identified in the strategy,including;a. Continued investment in technology infrastructure for the futureb. Fully utilizing existing corporate business systemsc. Mobilizing the workforced. Leveraging partnerships with public sector partners to share costs andexpertize4


3. Implement the recommended IT governance model,4. Implement the recommended IT organization changes, including the hybridmodel <strong>of</strong> IT service delivery,5. Proceed to recruit a new IT Analyst (Helpdesk) position already approved in the2013 budget,6. Approve the creation <strong>of</strong> 2 new business analyst positions (2014 and 2016), and7. Endorse in principle the increased capital and operating funding needs for ITover the next 5 years.The strategy requires an increased investment in staff, technology & systems to bring ITservices to an acceptable level. Over the 5-year implementation time frame, an averageannual increase <strong>of</strong> $96,000 capital expenditure is recommended. Additional IT staffing,licensing, maintenance and other services costs will also add to operating costs over the5 year period.A major investment, undoubtedly, but the return on investment is clear. The strategy isexpected to deliver significant efficiencies and productivity benefits to staff throughoutthe organization.5

Background1.1 Project ApproachPrior & Prior Associates Ltd. were engaged in early 2013 to facilitate the development <strong>of</strong>a Master Information Technology Plan.Interviews and workshops were conducted with the Mayor, CAO, all departmentalDirectors and staff, including representatives from <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro and <strong>Innisfil</strong> PublicLibrary. One-on-one meetings were held with IT staff to evaluate current technologyprovisions and assess staff capabilities. A SWOT workshop was also held with IT staff. A<strong>Town</strong>-wide IT survey was carried out to seek input from all staff with regard to thecurrent service levels and future requirements.As part <strong>of</strong> the process, Departments were asked to identify and prioritize theirtechnology needs over a 1-3 year and 3-5 year timeline. This input, combined with theconsulting team’s current state assessment and knowledge <strong>of</strong> municipal and industrypractices has formed the basis for the recommendations here.Throughout the process the consulting team has worked closely with the Manager <strong>of</strong> ITand Director <strong>of</strong> Finance, Customer Service and IT. The initial findings, the proposedstrategic directions and this final report were all reviewed and revised based ondiscussions with SMT.1.2 Assessment MethodologyAt the outset <strong>of</strong> the project, the consulting team conducted an assessment <strong>of</strong> thecurrent state <strong>of</strong> technology. Prior & Prior Associates assessment methodology looks atIT from two perspectives:1. The technology environment, which is assessed against a standardizedmunicipal technology architecture, developed by Prior & Prior Associates, thathas been tried and tested with many Ontario municipalities, and2. IT management processes, which are assessed against generally acceptedindustry best practices, and from the customer (through survey) andmanagement (through interview) perspectives. Gartner’s IT ManagementProcess Maturity Model is also used to provide a comparison with broaderindustry IT management practices.1.3 Assessment Results1.3.1 TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTA. TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTUREIn our assessment the core technology is appropriate for the size <strong>of</strong> the organization andhas been well managed by the IT Team. Customers report that core technologies, suchas their PC’s and laptops, the network connections, email, calendar and otherproductivity s<strong>of</strong>tware meet their needs, perform well and are reliable. It is evident that6


the IT Team has employed a number <strong>of</strong> municipal best practices. Key positive features <strong>of</strong>the technology environment include:A robust corporate network based on high speed fibre connectivity to most<strong>Town</strong> facilities and access to the Simcoe SCAN Wide Area Network,Appropriate PC and server refresh cycles in place,Operating System and MS Office refresh cycles in placeConsolidated printing using Multi-Function-Printers (MFP’s),Appropriate storage expansion plans and budget in place to support growingdata storage needs, andModern VOIP based Telecoms systemsThis core technology infrastructure provides a solid foundation from which to buildbusiness solutions that the <strong>Town</strong> can rely upon, and which will scale as the <strong>Town</strong> grows.However, feedback from staff and management and industry trends indicate that thereare some opportunities to improve customer satisfaction, <strong>of</strong>fer new services andsimplify the management <strong>of</strong> the technology environment. These opportunities include:Providing broader choices to staff <strong>of</strong> the types <strong>of</strong> tools and devices they use toget their jobs done (e.g. Laptop or Desktop, Tablet or Laptop)Allowing staff to access IT systems and services remotelyProviding mobile technology to field staff to enable field based computingUtilizing cloud based services, such as hosted Email to reduce overall <strong>Town</strong> costs,increase flexibility, while maintaining service levelsUsing 3 rd party IT services to provide agility, expertise and to augment in-houseIT skillsB. BUSINESS SYSTEMS & SYSTEMS INTEGRATIONThe <strong>Town</strong> has purchased and implemented a number <strong>of</strong> business solutions that arewidely used in comparable municipalities including;Great Plains and FMW for finance and HR processesWorkTech for asset and work management processesESRI GIS technology for spatial and map based managementCLASS for recreation and facilities rentalsDrupal CMS for website managementIn addition the <strong>Town</strong> has also developed its own major system; MOAR, which managesland and property based processes (such as permitting, licensing and developmentapprovals). MOAR is also being used as a corporate CRM system.Again, the investments in these core systems form a solid base. But it is in the area <strong>of</strong>business system and business system integration where the greatest needs have beenidentified.In some situations (such as Great Plains), while the systems have been implemented forsome time, there are major improvements that are needed to ensure that the systems7


can be fully utilized, and the full benefits <strong>of</strong> the systems can be realized. In othersituations (such as the GIS) the <strong>Town</strong> has made necessary investments in technology,but has not fully completed the implementation, due to limited resource availability(primarily that GIS staff time has been allocated to IT support duties).Major opportunities include:The need for major enhancements to existing systemso Financial and HR systems to enable encumbrance accounting, improvedHR data and time and attendance management, improved workflows andto provide real time access to financial information for departmentalmanagers.o Full implementation <strong>of</strong> WorkTech as an Asset and Work Managementsolution – underway in 2013o Continued development <strong>of</strong> the Corporate GIS system, includingintegration with WorkTecho Continued development <strong>of</strong> MOAR as a corporate CRM and system fortracking land and property based processesA need to increase the number <strong>of</strong> system interfaces which streamline businessprocess and data flow between systems, eliminating duplicate data entry andreducing errors (e.g. Time & Attendance Payroll, GIS WorkTech, GreatPlains FMW)A requirement to implement a number <strong>of</strong> new solutions, including: an Intranet,an e<strong>Agenda</strong> solution, a corporate Drawing Management solution,A requirement for improved corporate reporting, performance measure trackingand dash-boardingC. CUSTOMER FACING SERVICESThere are two primary customer-facing systems; the CRM and the Website.MOAR has evolved into being used as the corporate Customer RelationshipManagement (CRM) system – that is the system that is used to track customerinteractions and requests. This is again a good strategy, but one that should beacknowledged corporately, and a plan developed to address additional CRMrequirements not currently met by MOAR.The <strong>Town</strong>’s website is currently being redesigned and re-implemented using moremodern web techniques and a more customer centric design. The website technology isDrupal, a solid open source web content management system, being adopted broadlyby many government organizations. The newly designed website will be launched inJune 2013.The <strong>Town</strong>’s website <strong>of</strong>fers few online transactions, and this is an area where customerservice can be significantly improved using technology. Offering more services online(e.g. e-payments, permit applications, service requests) can reduce pressures on frontlineand back <strong>of</strong>fice staff, and improve customer service by <strong>of</strong>fering 24/7, convenientaccess to services.8


However online services rely on internal processes working effectively, and businesssystems that support back-<strong>of</strong>fice and customer facing online processes being fullyimplemented. From a strategic perspective expanding online services should be tackledin the medium, not short term.SUMMARYIn summary, the <strong>Town</strong> has put in place many <strong>of</strong> the key technologies required, bothfrom an infrastructure and business systems perspective. Moving forward, the attention<strong>of</strong> the organization needs to be directed toward investing in, evolving and growing theexisting business systems to more completely fulfill the needs <strong>of</strong> the corporation. Revisitingexisting processes, using technology to simplify and streamline how they workwill deliver many operational benefits and savings. As these corporate businessprocesses and supporting business systems become more robust, then the <strong>Town</strong> canfocus upon business system integration, data mining and extending services online.1.3.2 IT MANAGEMENT MATURITYThe IT team comprising one IT Manager, and two IT Analysts is comparatively small. Anadditional IT position, provisionally identified as a Helpdesk Analyst, has been approvedin the 2013 budget, but not yet recruited, subject to the recommendations <strong>of</strong> thisstrategy.The Team is responsible for the typical large array <strong>of</strong> IT team functions, including:Network & data securityHardware maintenance, upgrades and replacementsUser supportData networks, internal and between buildingsVoice communication systems including cellular devicesCorporate and service area specific s<strong>of</strong>tware applicationsAdvising upon applications to improve internal business processesWebsite maintenance and supportGeographic Information System (GIS) support, updates, mapping and reportingS<strong>of</strong>tware support and maintenance contractsPhotocopier/printer/scanner contracts management and administrationProviding access to Government services through electronic gatewaysBusiness continuity planning – disaster recoveryThe IT Team handles the vast majority <strong>of</strong> IT related functions, and appears to be wellconsulted by departments at the right time on technology matters. IT is not currentlyinvolved in some areas including; SCADA technology management and Radiotechnologies in which they should become more involved in future.9


As part <strong>of</strong> the consultant’s IT assessment abroad internal IT customer satisfactionsurvey was conducted. Survey responsesindicate high levels <strong>of</strong> satisfaction with theIT Team, and the services the teamprovides.When asked “how would you rate ITservices at the <strong>Town</strong>”, 26% indicated theywere very satisfied, 66% were satisfied and8% neutral. No respondents indicateddissatisfaction. A telling commentsubmitted via the survey notes that IT“services provided are exceptional given thelimited amount <strong>of</strong> staff and financialresources available”.In our direct assessment the IT Team is doing a good job – within the known resourceconstraints it operates. A number <strong>of</strong> key strengths include:The IT team is delivering excellent customer service, as evidenced by surveyresultsThe IT Team has implemented the key foundational technologies, which arereliable and broadly meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>The IT Team has creatively exploited open source alternatives (such as FreePBX,Helpdesk system) avoiding higher cost solutionsThe IT Team has Implemented helpdesk tracking and project tracking systemsThe IT Team demonstrated to the consultant a clear understanding <strong>of</strong> theopportunities for IT, a clear understanding <strong>of</strong> industry trends and a sense <strong>of</strong>strategic direction, though their ability to pursue this is hampered by resourceavailability.Indeed many <strong>of</strong> the challenges that the IT team faces are due to the limitationsassociated with the resource capacity <strong>of</strong> the team.Figure 1: Survey Result: IT Service SatisfactionIn almost every area <strong>of</strong> the town, processes could be improved, staff time couldbe saved and customer service enhanced by applying technology solutions tobusiness process challenges. However demand and expectations for technologysupport, advice and the implementation <strong>of</strong> new solutions far exceeds thecapacity <strong>of</strong> the current resources in IT.The lack <strong>of</strong> a currently dedicated helpdesk position means that support work issplit somewhat evenly between the three IT staff. As a result importantmaintenance and project work is frequently interrupted to address the needs <strong>of</strong>customers with problems and issues. This has particularly hindered thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> the GIS, as the member <strong>of</strong> staff responsible for GIS in IT, is10


frequently drawn into operational support work. In many cases the IT Manager isdrawn away from strategic work into operational support.Because <strong>of</strong> the overwhelming demand and the operational, reactive nature <strong>of</strong>the team’s workload, IT has limited time to dedicate to proactively addressingcustomer needs, or to researching new opportunities and testing new solutions.IT staff are required to support and be knowledgeable in many, <strong>of</strong>ten noncomplimentarytechnologies which leads to the ‘jack-<strong>of</strong>-all-trades’ problemThere are a number <strong>of</strong> technologies and systems, where only one IT staffmember has experience and can provide support – leading to the risk <strong>of</strong> singlepoints <strong>of</strong> failure.In some areas IT staff simply lack the required deep technical skills to fullyleverage solutions, such as email management, network, remote access, andsecurity.Based upon our assessment, and using Gartner’s IT Management Process MaturityModel (Figure 2 below), the assessment indicates that the <strong>Town</strong> is operating at Level 1.Figure 2: Gartner IT Management Maturity ModelThis is characterized in the model as being in a reactive mode. That is, IT is frequently in‘fire fighting’ mode. The IT team has implemented processes to manage helpdesktickets, and their asset inventory, but have not yet allocated resources to the helpdeskor automated administrative and maintenance tasks that free them to be moreproactive.11


Operating at Level 0 or Level 1 is not atypical for small municipal teams. But, managingthe basic technology <strong>of</strong> PC’s, networks and email is not where the real value in IT is.Senior Management and the IT Team itself wants IT to operate as a strategic businesspartner, for IT and the departments to be collaborating more closely on businesssolutions that deliver more efficient, less resource intensive and cheaper governmentservices. They want technology and the <strong>Town</strong>’s use <strong>of</strong> technology to be more agile, theywant to be better positioned to quickly respond to emerging opportunities. SeniorManagement want their IT capabilities to be at a Level 3 or 4.Clearly there is some way to go to achieve this, and progressing from Level 1 to Level 3or Level 4 will take some time. However this strategy will better position the <strong>Town</strong> tobegin to make the required transition.1.4 Comparing <strong>Innisfil</strong> to OthersAs part <strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the strategy the consulting team looked at a number <strong>of</strong>comparison metrics to assess the <strong>Town</strong>’s IT spending and staffing levels.1.4.1 SpendingThe <strong>Town</strong> appears to be currently spending approximately 1.0% <strong>of</strong> its overall budget onIT (staffing, hardware, s<strong>of</strong>tware and services). This compares reasonably to othercomparable municipalities 1 where although there is a large range <strong>of</strong> 0.4% to 5.0%, themedian is 0.9% <strong>of</strong> total budget.However, the Ontario Municipal Benchmarking Initiative (OMBI) 2 suggests that thosemunicipalities that participate in their benchmarking spend on average 1.6% <strong>of</strong> theirtotal budget on IT (spend actually ranges from 1.0 – 2.0%).Furthermore we would suggest that comparing against local Ontario municipalities,which are, in our opinion, under-investing in technology may provide an inappropriatereassurance that the <strong>Town</strong> is spending at a suitable level.Against broader industry benchmarks for North America, Canadian local governmentexpenditures are low. A study from InfoTech 3 in 2010 suggests average IT expendituresfor North American municipalities is approximately 3.18%. Comparing against privateindustry, North American average spending on IT is approximately 4% <strong>of</strong> total revenue.So, while <strong>Innisfil</strong> IT spending levels may compare reasonably to comparatormunicipalities, we would strongly suggest that there is scope and justification toincrease spending on technology.1 Comparator municipalities include Caledon, New Tecumseth, Orillia, Georgina, Bradford WestGwillimbury, Whitchurch and Stouffville2 OMBI members include District <strong>of</strong> Muskoka, Region <strong>of</strong> Durham, Halton Region, Niagara Region, Region<strong>of</strong> Waterloo, York Region, Greater Sudbury, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Windsor,Barrie, Calgary and Winnipeg3 InfoTech is a Canadian based provider <strong>of</strong> IT research and advice12


1.4.2 StaffingThe <strong>Town</strong> currently employs 3 Full Time IT staff (with approval to hire a fourth) tosupport and provide IT services to its 160 staff. This means that 1.3% <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> staff workin IT. This compares reasonably to the benchmark group, where the median is 1.2% <strong>of</strong>total staff working in IT. For direct comparison, Orillia has 5 IT staff, Georgina has 4 witha request an additional position in 2013, while New Tecumseth has only 2 IT staff.The results <strong>of</strong> the same 2010 InfoTech study cited above, suggest a North Americanmunicipality median <strong>of</strong> 2.8% <strong>of</strong> total staff are IT staff. Again, for the same reasons statedabove, we would strongly suggest that given the expectations and demand, there isscope to expand the IT team, beyond the four positions already approved.13


2. Future Directions2.1 New ChallengesThe <strong>Town</strong>’s technology approach faces new pressures and challenges<strong>Innisfil</strong>’s community is changing. An influx <strong>of</strong> new residents, many from largertown’s and city’s, brings with it expectations <strong>of</strong> services that new residents maybe familiar with from other places that they have lived (e.g. a tech savvymunicipality that <strong>of</strong>fers online services and that communicates and engagesusing the web and social media).Societal expectations are changing. Increasingly municipal services are comparedwith other service sector services, such as banking and insurance whereincreased conveniences are afforded and now expected by customers, includingfor example longer opening hours and online or smartphone access to services.Changing town leadership. In the recent past a number <strong>of</strong> new Directors havejoined the <strong>Town</strong>. These leaders have worked in larger municipal organizationsand have experienced the benefits that technology can bring to their operationalareas. These leaders are bringing this experience to the <strong>Town</strong>, and anticipateimplementing similar solutions to optimize their operations.At the same time as changing expectations, the IT industry is experiencing major changeas well.Consumerization <strong>of</strong> technology. The pace <strong>of</strong> technological change has increased,and technology is more accessible to people in their day-to-day lives than everbefore. Often the devices that people staff at home today are better, newer, andmore flexible than the technology provided at their workplace. It’s not justdevices, the tools that staff use at home to communicate and collaborate withsuch as Skype, Google Docs, GoToMeeting and Dropbox <strong>of</strong>fer better functionalitythan the tools that are available at work.New computing paradigms. The IT industry is undergoing a significant change.For the last 20 years or more, vendors have sold solutions that could be installedin the <strong>Town</strong>’s data centre by local IT staff. Adopting the Internet approach,vendors are moving to a model where they host the s<strong>of</strong>tware and services andcustomers simply access solutions via the Internet. This creates new anddifferent challenges for the IT department including; required policy changes,data security provisions and internet connectivity enhancements for example.2.2 Future DirectionsBased on the IT assessment, feedback from management and staff and broadermunicipal trends, the goals <strong>of</strong> this IT Strategy are to ensure:That technology can gain a higher pr<strong>of</strong>ile in the organization as an enabler <strong>of</strong>strategic change and operational excellence14


That technology resources and investment is increased to match the internalexpectations for technology enablement <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> servicesThat the <strong>Town</strong> is better positioned to take advantage <strong>of</strong> developments intechnology including <strong>of</strong>fering expanded technology choices to staff, enablingmobile and remote working, <strong>of</strong>fering online services to the <strong>Town</strong>’s customersand to become ‘cloud-ready’That the <strong>Town</strong> is positioned to work with public sector partners to ensure bestvalue IT services can be achievedThat the <strong>Town</strong> is positioned to take advantage <strong>of</strong> private sector IT services forcommoditized IT requirements to reduce costs, add flexibility to the <strong>Town</strong>’s IToperations and release in-house IT staff to work on more strategically valuablework.That the IT Team can become less operational and more strategic and proactivein identifying opportunities to use new technologies and solutions to enablecollaborative working, to achieve cost savings, to streamline business processes,and to deliver improved customer services.15


3. IT Strategic ThemesTo respond to these challenges, the IT strategic plan identifies four major themes, whichare:1. Continue to invest in technology infrastructure for the future2. Fully utilize corporate business systems3. Mobilize the workforce4. Leverage partnerships3.1 Continue to Invest in Technology Infrastructure for the FutureTechnology Infrastructure underpins almost everything that the <strong>Town</strong> does. ITinfrastructure includes email, voice, radio and data networks, servers, personalcomputers and online services. The reliance on this technology infrastructure increasesthe importance <strong>of</strong> maintaining and updating the infrastructure so that it can meetcurrent needs, remain secure and resilient and enable future aspirations.Just as the road and sewer networks require asset management plans, preventativemaintenance schedules, and need major renewals on a periodic basis – so too does thetechnology infrastructure. Ongoing appropriate levels <strong>of</strong> investment in technologyinfrastructure, ensures that the vital technology environment can continue to runefficiently, effectively and reliably.To date the <strong>Town</strong> has done a good job <strong>of</strong> building and managing this infrastructure,providing decent PC’s, fast network connections, reliable email services. The customersurvey indicates broad satisfaction with these core IT services. However managementinterviews also revealed increasing expectations from IT services and a demand toaccess tools that are not currently available at the <strong>Town</strong> (which have been implementedby other municipalities).So, building on already solid foundations the following key areas will be addressed aspart <strong>of</strong> this theme:Ongoing upgrades <strong>of</strong> core technologies (hardware, s<strong>of</strong>tware, network) arecritical to maintaining reliability and to support new demands (such as videoconferencing or file sharing). This Strategy reinforces the importance <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Town</strong>’s existing IT Asset lifecycle plans and directs additional funding toward thecapital budget for replacement and renewal <strong>of</strong> PC’s, server, storage, networkand telecom infrastructure to ensure that service quality can be maintained.Over the next few years the <strong>Town</strong> will build a number <strong>of</strong> new facilities, includingthree Fire Halls, an Operations Centre and a new Hydro facility. Each <strong>of</strong> thesefacilities will require connectivity to the <strong>Town</strong>’s high speed fibre network, willrequire telecom services and other specific technology solutions. The IT team willwork in partnership with Facilities and Departments to ensure the requiredservices are provided.16


The IT Team will secure a 3 rd party, private sector partner to assist in themanagement <strong>of</strong> its technology infrastructure – accessing skills that the <strong>Town</strong>cannot afford to retain on a permanent basis, and releasing current IT staff t<strong>of</strong>ocus upon use <strong>of</strong> technology in the <strong>Town</strong>.In terms <strong>of</strong> being ‘future ready’, the IT Team recognizes the opportunity that‘cloud’ computing has the potential to <strong>of</strong>fer the <strong>Town</strong>. Over the course <strong>of</strong> thisstrategy the <strong>Town</strong> will explore and begin to use more hosted services whereappropriate. This will require the IT Team to conduct detailed due diligenceassessments to ensure privacy and data security requirements are fullyaddressed, and that <strong>Town</strong> requirements are appropriately addressed through<strong>Town</strong> policy. Areas including email hosting, website hosting, backup, datastorage and disaster recovery will be explored, evaluated and implementedwhere appropriate for the <strong>Town</strong>.The <strong>Town</strong> will <strong>of</strong>fer broader technology choices to staff than have been <strong>of</strong>feredin the past, while balancing the cost to provide and support these technologies.o The <strong>Town</strong> will support choice for smartphones and tablets (includingsupport for BlackBerry, iOS and Android devices). Mobile DeviceManagement (MDM) technology will be required to ensure that IT staffcan manage the devices and data security can be maintained.o The <strong>Town</strong> will expand the choices <strong>of</strong> devices available to users (e.g. PC,laptop, tablet), moving away from a one-size-fits-all model, to ensurethat the solutions that users have meet their needs.o The <strong>Town</strong> will <strong>of</strong>fer new, modern workplace solutions that support thecommunications and collaboration needs <strong>of</strong> the organization (includingintranet, video and voice conferencing, screen sharing, file sharing,document collaboration)The <strong>Town</strong> will pursue increased server virtualization to reduce overall servercosts and energy consumption while also simplifying IT administration andincreasing resilience and redundancy.The <strong>Town</strong> will partner with <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro to implement a shared network tosupport the respective SCADA environments at Hydro and the <strong>Town</strong>. The <strong>Town</strong>’sIT Team will take on responsibility for the IT technology management portion <strong>of</strong>the SCADA environment for the <strong>Town</strong> (e.g. server hardware).The <strong>Town</strong> will implement required Fire radio upgrades, migrating from Analogservices (which are due to be retired) to Digital. Again IT will play an increasedrole in the Fire radio system, as a technical advisor – IT has not previously beeninvolved in any activities related to the Fire radio systems.The <strong>Town</strong> will enhance <strong>Council</strong> chamber technologies to support improvedprojection and other A/V improvements and to <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>Council</strong> and Committeeweb streaming to the public.3.2 Fully utilize Existing Corporate Business systemsBusiness systems such as Great Plains, MOAR and WorkTech power the <strong>Town</strong>’s businessprocesses, track the work that staff do and allow the <strong>Town</strong> to analyze (and improve) its17


performance. These same tools allow staff and management to track a case, a complaintor an application from request, through all <strong>of</strong> the required steps, to completion. Theseimportant systems pay staff, handle invoicing and payments from suppliers andcustomers and manage the <strong>Town</strong>’s accounts.It is in this area that the <strong>Town</strong> can gain the most value from its investment intechnology; by streamlining processes and gaining management insight into processeffectiveness (e.g. how efficient is the <strong>Town</strong> at processing invoices, filling potholes,bylaw enforcement, responding to complaints). Quite simply, the more that paperbased processes (e.g. internal memo’s, work orders, utility locates) can be replaced withelectronic workflows, which eliminate duplicate data entry, time delays and thatconnect staff that receive the requests with staff that fulfill the request, or better stilldirectly with the customer, the more efficient the <strong>Town</strong> can become.The <strong>Town</strong> has implemented a number <strong>of</strong> the key business systems that it requires.However, in most cases the systems are not used to the fullest, or the electronicworkflow processes have not been completely streamlined to make them as efficient asthey could be. Strategically the <strong>Town</strong> will double down on a small number <strong>of</strong> keycorporate business systems and work to digitize key business processes into these mainsystems.This strategy reaffirms the <strong>Town</strong>’s long-term commitment to key Corporate BusinessSystems:Great Plains: for Finance and HR processesMOAR: for Property and Land based processes (including operating as thecorporate CRM)WorkTech: for Asset Management related processesSIRE: for Record Management processesESRI: for Spatial / Map related processesCLASS: for Recreation processesDrupal: Web ManagementThree key questions, or issues related to core business systems were raised during thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> the strategy.GREAT PLAINSSome staff were concerned about the suitability and ability <strong>of</strong> Great Plains to meet the<strong>Town</strong>’s needs <strong>of</strong> today and the future, and questions were raised about exploringalternative solutions, including SAP hosted by the County. Given the size <strong>of</strong> themunicipality our Consulting team recommends continuing with Great Plains and workingto address key needs and enhancements in the Great Plains solution. In general termsthere are limited alternatives in the ERP market place that are suited to municipalneeds, the costs <strong>of</strong> replacement are significant (> $250,000) and the return oninvestment is hard to demonstrate and achieve.18


MOARStaff and management also raised questions about the prudence <strong>of</strong> building a coresystem in-house. Building MOAR in-house is an atypical approach. Most municipalitieshave moved to purchasing their large corporate systems – and there are a number <strong>of</strong>solutions in the market for Land and Property process management. However theMOAR solution meets the requirements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>, and in some areas betters many <strong>of</strong>solutions available in the market, providing a ‘single property view’ – allowing staff tosee all <strong>of</strong> the transactions with the <strong>Town</strong> from a single address. That is a tremendouslypowerful integration tool for customer centric service delivery that many municipalitieswish they had.So, we recommend that the <strong>Town</strong> continue to exploit MOAR. However, the <strong>Town</strong> onlyhas one developer on staff that supports and develops MOAR. It should be cognizant <strong>of</strong>the risk associated with this ‘single point <strong>of</strong> failure’, and work to mitigate the risk infuture. Funds have been allocated in the recommended budget to secure backupresources to support MOAR.SIREThe <strong>Town</strong> has recently implemented a document management system from SIRE, whichit initially planned to operate as a corporate document management system. Thesystem has been broadly rolled out across the <strong>Town</strong>, but unfortunately challenges withthe system’s basic functionality, performance and overall usability and has meant thatthe solution has not met users expectations. The <strong>Town</strong>’s experience with the s<strong>of</strong>twarehas been further frustrated by the fact that Sire has recently been purchased by Hylandwhich has led to a change in project personnel and approach. Customers and IT staffhave become frustrated, and the scope <strong>of</strong> the solution has now been reduced under thedirection <strong>of</strong> SMT.In our experience, document management projects are the most complex projects topull <strong>of</strong>f successfully, because they require a complete change <strong>of</strong> thinking across thewhole organization. Document management technologies are <strong>of</strong>ten not as seamlesslyintegrated as users would like, and this creates a user backlash when they realize thatusing the document management system adds steps to tasks that they’ve been doingfor the last 20 years.Given its investment to date, the <strong>Town</strong> has to determine its future strategy with regardto SIRE.In order to mitigate further frustrations with the system, it is time to step back andanalyze more completely how the solution fits the <strong>Town</strong>’s requirements. This should bedone before the town wastes staff time, and or staff begin to see the solution as afailure - which could be the death <strong>of</strong> the solution.Given that a broad rollout has already occurred, the <strong>Town</strong> may consider refocusing itsattention toward a well-defined pilot area in a particular department, or to tackle aparticular business process, which could help determine the future viability <strong>of</strong> the19


solution. By focusing on one specific area and one particular business process, <strong>Town</strong>staff can define any gaps with the solution and/or provide recommendations forchanges in existing business processes that will fit better with the SIRE workflow.Once the solution is fully implemented in the pilot business area, then the <strong>Town</strong> willhave a better understanding <strong>of</strong> the situations in which the solution performs well, andsituations where it doesn't.The <strong>Town</strong> could then reexamine its organization-wide strategy for the solution. It mayultimately be decided that the SIRE solution will only work in some areas and somethingelse will have to be defined for others. An analysis will define this and provide aroadmap for future development and implementation <strong>of</strong> the corporate documentmanagement solution.The full utilization <strong>of</strong> corporate s<strong>of</strong>tware such as these major systems are ongoingendeavors – not one-<strong>of</strong>f implementations. S<strong>of</strong>tware capabilities change and improve.Internal needs and priorities change. Organizations that get the most value from theircorporate systems do so by funding and resourcing ongoing enhancement <strong>of</strong> thesesystems. As a result the strategy recommends:Creating working groups and developing work plans for each <strong>of</strong> the majorCorporate Business Systems (listed above). These working groups shouldspearhead the following initiatives:o Conducting a review <strong>of</strong> processes and implement enhancements toFinance & HR systems (Great Plains and FMW) to streamline data entryand management processes, improve financial reporting, improvemanagement access to real-time financial data and projections,o Expanding the MOAR system to address additional needs includingenhancements to Permitting, Licensing, Planning, extending CRMcapabilities, <strong>of</strong>fering services online (e.g. inspection booking, servicerequests)o Expanding the WorkTech system to handle all asset based processes(asset register, service requests, work orders, preventative maintenance)for engineering, water, waste water, roads and facilities, mobile accessfor field crews, integration with GISo Continued development <strong>of</strong> GIS data and systems to <strong>of</strong>fer improvedaccess to spatial data internally to support decision making (e.g. locates)or for analysis, and to provide spatial information to the public.In addition to enhancing existing major systems the <strong>Town</strong> will look to implementa number <strong>of</strong> additional new systems including:o e<strong>Agenda</strong>: The <strong>Town</strong> will be implementing in 2013 an e<strong>Agenda</strong>management solutiono Intranet: The <strong>Town</strong> will implement an Intranet that can aid internalcommunication, collaboration and corporate cohesiono Electronic drawing management: The <strong>Town</strong> will implement a solutionthat can simplify drawing management, ensure effective sharing <strong>of</strong>20


3.3 Mobilize the Workforcedrawings, facilitate redlining, manage versioning and integrate with keysystems such as WorkTech and MOAR.For those staff that work in <strong>of</strong>fices but who may need to access <strong>Town</strong> systems (such asbuilding automation systems) from home or while ‘on the road’, the <strong>Town</strong> will ensurethat policies and technologies are in place to support these needs. All staff should havethe ability to remotely access <strong>Town</strong> systems, subject to management approval. Forexample, facilities staff now have to be physically present at <strong>Town</strong> Hall to deal withissues with any <strong>of</strong> the building management systems (e.g. HVAC, etc). Remote access tothese systems could save trips and time and in some cases this may eliminate somecosts associated with call-outs.Improvements in networks, devices and solutions also now make it viable to connectfield staff to systems used by <strong>of</strong>fice staff. By accessing technology, data and systemsthat are available in the <strong>of</strong>fice, field crews can have access to maps and informationimmediately to hand, avoiding wasted trips to the <strong>of</strong>fice to check drawings and reviewinformation. For example, one person from the <strong>Town</strong>, with access to the rightinformation could carry out utility locates, which are currently carried out by fourseparate teams (including <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro crews). Crews can respond faster to customerrequests, as <strong>of</strong>fice staff can send requests electronically, in real time. Time spent by staffin the <strong>of</strong>fice to update records can be eliminated as crews can update work orders andasset inventory’s in real-time, electronically in the field. This all adds up to increasedoverall efficiency and means more time working and less time travelling into the <strong>of</strong>ficeto access information. This will lead to a significant boost in productivity.Specific initiatives in this area include:Providing remote (VPN) access to <strong>Town</strong> computing resources (email, files,applications) for all staff that require itImplementing a variety <strong>of</strong> mobile device form factors which support differentworking needs (e.g. in vehicle, Toughbook, tablet, laptop, smartphone, mobileprinting, connected vs. disconnected)Deploying a variety <strong>of</strong> mobile solutions connecting directly to back <strong>of</strong>fice systems(e.g. MOAR, WorkTech, GIS) for Bylaw, Building, Engineering, Water and WasteWater Services, Roads and other teams3.4 Leverage PartnershipsGiven the resource pressures that the <strong>Town</strong> faces, and the co-operative nature <strong>of</strong> publicsector organizations, the <strong>Town</strong> will seek ways that it can save or share costs andexpertise with local partners. This is a growing trend in the municipal sector where, forexample municipalities are working together to implement shared solutions (e.g.Aurora, Whitchurch – Stouffville and Newmarket are implementing a shared Webenvironment) or where an organization provides IT services to another to reusetechnologies and skill sets and to achieve cost savings (e.g. the City Guelph is providingTelephony services to Guelph Hydro).21


Specific initiatives in this area include:The IT Team will work to increase its ‘connection’ to industry events andassociations to better keep up to date with industry trends and newopportunities (MISA and other association memberships, journal subscriptions)The IT Team will explore joint purchasing avenues (e.g. OECM) to secure costreductions in IT procurementWith the pre-existing close partnership between the <strong>Town</strong>, the Library and<strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro, building an IT partnership between these groups is a fertile areawhere sharing knowledge, effort and partnering on particular projects could becost effective for the partners. The <strong>Town</strong> will establish an IT working committee<strong>of</strong> technical and management staff from the <strong>Town</strong>, Hydro and the Library toexplore and pursue jointly beneficial partnership opportunities.The <strong>Town</strong> will seek to build stronger partnerships with Simcoe County with aparticular focus upon GIS, potentially piggy-backing on Simcoe’s existing publicfacing GIS resourcesThe <strong>Town</strong> currently works with Essa to share some IT services (<strong>Innisfil</strong> hostssome applications on behalf <strong>of</strong> Essa, including MOAR and Great Plains), and willcontinue to explore further IT partnership opportunities with neighboring andregional municipalities in future.22


4. Enabling the StrategyTwo major elements will be critical to enabling the strategy; changes to IT governance –the way in which important IT decisions are made and priorities set and changes to ITservice delivery – the way in which the IT service is delivered to achieve the best valueand return for the organization.4.1 IT GovernanceDecisions related to technology have an increasing corporate reach and <strong>of</strong>ten may havea significant operational impact in departments. Many <strong>of</strong> the key decisions related totechnology are actually not technical in nature, but instead are business decisions, suchas - which project should we do first, can we delay this project to do another, how muchare we willing to spend on this problem?It is generally accepted in the IT industry that because <strong>of</strong> its importance to operationalexcellence, technology requires more senior level attention than it has received in thepast. A growing trend in municipal IT governance is for the creation <strong>of</strong> a senior level ITsteering committee that take responsibility for IT strategy and IT decision making, basedon advice from IT pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.We suggest that part <strong>of</strong> raising the pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> IT, means that <strong>Innisfil</strong>’s SeniorManagement Team (SMT) and departmental leaders need to become more activelyinvolved in IT decision making.Therefore the IT Strategy recommends the creation <strong>of</strong> a corporate IT governance model,which engages the <strong>Town</strong>’s senior management, staff and IT at various levels in theorganization, to create a partnership approach to technology decision making.The IT Governance Model is built upon four components:A. Decision making groupsB. Policies and standardsC. ProcessesD. MetricsA. DECISION MAKING GROUPSIT Steering CommitteeThe IT Steering Committee is a senior level group responsible for overseeing, on anongoing basis, the implementation <strong>of</strong> the technology strategy, and working to ensurethat strategic priorities are being appropriately tackled. It is recommended that SMT 4 ora subset <strong>of</strong> SMT members take on this role <strong>of</strong> overseeing and guiding technology at the<strong>Town</strong>. The key roles <strong>of</strong> this group would be:4 Note that if SMT are to take on the role, a separate meeting from the regular SMT meeting should beestablished for SMT to act as the IT Steering Committee. IT should not be added to a regular SMT meetingagenda.23


Setting priorities, resolving conflicts, aligning IT decision making with corporategoals, helping allocate resources appropriately, and approving recommendationsupon key initiatives and strategic IT decisions.Reviewing major shifts in strategy or technologiesReceiving major project updates/briefingsReviewing / monitoring the overall project portfolio statusApproval <strong>of</strong> new business casesMonitoring progress against IT StrategyAnnual progress report to <strong>Council</strong> against IT StrategyJoint Working GroupsBased on industry experience, those organizations that are most successful at takingadvantage <strong>of</strong> technology are those in which the business areas, not IT, have takenownership <strong>of</strong> systems, and have worked in partnership with IT to drive the use <strong>of</strong>systems to solve their business needs. IT should not own business systems. It is thedepartments themselves that have a greater stake in the success <strong>of</strong> technology systemsthat help them operate their business. Furthermore in many cases the larger IT systemsare used across departments (MOAR, WorkTech, GIS) and so initiatives and work plansmust be coordinated.One way <strong>of</strong> ensuring business involvement and coordination is through theestablishment <strong>of</strong> joint working groups configured around major business systems. Thesegroups should involve key stakeholders (representatives from those business areas thatuse and or rely upon the business system) and IT staff. Typically a business leader, notan IT staff person, should chair the group. These groups should be responsible for:Working collaboratively to identify and prioritize initiativesReviewing new projects and initiatives (including upgrades)Overseeing and participating in the delivery <strong>of</strong> projects and initiativesMonitoring projects and assist in resolving issues and risksEstablishing standards, policies, guidelines, procedures and best practices for theuse and operation <strong>of</strong> the systemThe strategy recommends that groups for MOAR, WorkTech, ERP (Finance and HRsystems) GIS and SIRE be established.In some cases, the GIS for example, there may be rationale to establish user groups forsystems that are very widely used. These groups should be separate from the workinggroups, and should be a forum in which users can share experiences, where training,tips, best practices and standards can be communicated and where members cancontribute ideas for improvements and changes.24


B. POLICY & STANDARDSIT PolicyThe strategy outlines a number <strong>of</strong> new directions for technology, examples includeremote and mobile working, which may have employment conditions implications.These new directions must be supported by corporate policy shifts that support andenable these activities, both from a technology and a HR perspective.We recommend that the town develop a new IT policy framework that is flexible anddesigned to accommodate change. The policy framework should address the followingtopic areas at a minimum:Acceptable use <strong>of</strong> technologyPassword policyRemote access policyNetwork access policyThird-party access policyAntivirus policyMobile device policyRemote working policyData protection policyPhysical access policyTechnology purchasing standardsBecause <strong>of</strong> the frequency <strong>of</strong> potential change, it may be advisable to considerestablishing an overarching IT policy, with attached schedules that can be revised oradded as needed by approval <strong>of</strong> the IT Steering Committee. The IT team would lead thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> the policy framework and schedules in consultation with keystakeholders from HR, legal clerks and others, and would recommend draft policies tothe IT Steering Committee for approval.In the future, work identified by this strategy, such as the adoption <strong>of</strong> cloud computingand data sharing with partners may necessitate additional policies.Long Term Work PlansIn the case <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the key systems (MOAR, Finance/HR, GIS) the strategy allocatesfunding to secure external assistance to help review current system set up andassociated processes, to identify opportunities and gaps, and recommend a multi-yearwork plan.C. PROCESSESThere are different work types that the IT team deals with. Some work is reactive toproblems that users face, while other work is planned. It is important that theorganization understands the distinction between the different types <strong>of</strong> work, and thateach <strong>of</strong> these types <strong>of</strong> request are handled in a different way. The work types aretypically categorized into three discrete areas:25


Type1. HelpdeskrequestsDescription / ExamplesIncidents, problems (e.g. Outages, errors, crash)Service requests (New user, new device)2. Change requests System changes (new or edit report, configuration change)Small initiative (website change, process change, smallapplication enhancement)3. Projects Existing system upgrades, enhancements, new modulesNew systems, technologies and productsIT must make it clear to customers, and the organization as a whole, how each <strong>of</strong> theseprocesses are handled and managed.The helpdesk process is already reasonably well defined, and will be better supportedonce helpdesk staffing is in place.Moving forward the IT team, with the support <strong>of</strong> the IT Steering Committee, shouldimplement clear process flows, documentation and supporting materials (e.g. forms,documents) for change requests and project requests. This will allow these requests tobe made in the right way, and then tracked, approved and reported upon asappropriate. A suggested process flow has been included in Volume 2.Project ManagementThe town should consider adopting a standardized project methodology (based on PMIor PMBOK) for IT projects, to improve its project outcomes. Many other municipalitieshave implemented similar processes and fellow MISA members will be willing to sharetheir methodologies and experiences. The province <strong>of</strong> Ontario also has a projectframework that it makes available to municipalities for them to adopt and adapt.D. METRICSProject Portfolio ReportingIn addition to this the IT team, again working with the IT Steering Committee, shoulddevelop a set <strong>of</strong> IT project portfolio reports that allow both IT management and the ITSteering Committee to monitor project progress.26


Figure 3: Example Project Portfolio ReportOther metrics, including the following items should be defined and reported on aregular basis to IT Steering Committee.Strategic plan implementation progressHelpdesk performance (against agreed service standards)Change request handlingNetwork performance (against agreed service standards)Training performance (against goals)Staff / resource utilizationFinancial indicators (budget vs. actuals)Annual Survey and Report to <strong>Council</strong>In developing this strategy a customer satisfaction survey was conducted. This creates abaseline assessment <strong>of</strong> current satisfaction levels. Given the strategy recommends anumber <strong>of</strong> changes, and specifically because <strong>of</strong> the planned addition <strong>of</strong> helpdeskposition, it is important to measure against this baseline. It is best practice andtherefore recommended that the town conduct an IT satisfaction survey on an annualbasis.In addition we also suggest that the IT team develop an annual IT report (focused uponbusiness outcomes, not technical stats) to be reviewed by the IT Steering Committeeand presented to council.27


4.2 IT Service DeliveryTo accommodate the new demands, and achieve the goals laid out in the strategy theway that IT is delivered at the <strong>Town</strong> will need to change somewhat.IT service delivery must become more:Agile and responsive to new and emerging needsProactive and strategicTo achieve this, we suggest three key things; adopting a hybrid IT model – using theprivate sector to provide some IT services, adding specific in-house IT resources toaddress key gaps and considering revising the reporting relationship for IT.1. ADOPTING A HYBRID DELIVERY MODELTraditionally the IT team has undertaken most <strong>of</strong> its IT work in-house, occasionallycontracting in for piece-work where technical expertise has been required.The reality <strong>of</strong> modern IT, particularly with small teams, is that maintaining all <strong>of</strong> thenecessary skills and resources in-house to manage the <strong>Town</strong>’s complex technicalenvironment is impractical. To do so would mean hiring a large number <strong>of</strong> additionalstaff.Smart IT organizations rely on a small team <strong>of</strong> in-house IT staff, who in turn work with anetwork <strong>of</strong> trusted partners, vendors and solution providers to deliver the requiredservices. The focus is upon "getting it done" rather than IT staff doing it themselves.This is, what we call a hybrid model <strong>of</strong> IT service delivery that relies on a combination <strong>of</strong>internal IT and business skills and market based expertise and services. Ultimately thismeans that the IT team, and the IT Manager specifically take on a new role, that is lesshands on, acting as a coordinator or orchestrator <strong>of</strong> IT services.We recommend four approaches that will move the <strong>Town</strong> toward a more formalized,hybrid IT service delivery model.A. Retain Third Party Services for Technical Infrastructure ManagementSome <strong>of</strong> the IT systems that the <strong>Town</strong> operates are specialized to the municipal line <strong>of</strong>business such as tax management and building permitting systems. However othertechnologies, such as networks, servers, file storage and email, are more generic.Hospitals, construction firms, banks and other organizations typically use the samesystems. It is these areas <strong>of</strong> IT that have become more commoditized for which directservices are available in the open market. Private sector firms can be used to manage,operate and support these services on behalf <strong>of</strong> municipalities.The current IT staff fulfill these functions now however they lack expertise andexperience in this area. The <strong>Town</strong> doesn’t have the requirement for full time staff in thistechnical area. So, by using the open market the <strong>Town</strong> can access the required skills,without having to commit to a full time resource, or to recruit, manage and train thatstaff person.28


Benefits include:Resources are available on an as-needed basis, on-demandVendor resources work in many environments, and bring industry wide bestpracticesResources have skills in specific areas, have experience in other organizations,and are not learning on the job as in-house staff may beRecruitment, management and training <strong>of</strong> staff is responsibility <strong>of</strong> the vendorWe recommend that the IT Team secure the ongoing services <strong>of</strong> a third partytechnology provider on a retained basis to support and manage the complex technicalenvironment – under the direction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>’s IT Manager.These services will be used to manage technologies that current IT staff don’t havedetailed domain expertise in. Funding for 3-4 days per month has been recommendedfor this purpose. In addition, funding has also been allocated to use the same, ordifferent service providers to provide ad-hoc services in support <strong>of</strong> particular technicalprojects (such as virtualization and disaster recovery implementation).B. Retain Third Party Programming ServicesTo mitigate the risks identified earlier in this report <strong>of</strong> having a single staff persondeveloping and supporting a major corporate system (MOAR) budget has been allocatedto provide 3 rd party backup support for MOAR. It is recommended that the <strong>Town</strong> retainthe services <strong>of</strong> a programmer to carry out a code review <strong>of</strong> the existing codebase, adocumentation audit, and to provide additional backup resource effort to assist in thebuild out <strong>of</strong> MOAR.C. Continue to use S<strong>of</strong>tware Vendors / Suppliers to Support Business SystemsS<strong>of</strong>tware vendors (such as Diamond, who provide and support the Great Plains solution)will continue to provide support to the major business systems.D. Use Consulting Services to Set StrategiesThere is clear value in engaging experts in the right measure, at the right time. Feedbackindicated that management and staff in departments are not fully aware <strong>of</strong> what thesystems that the <strong>Town</strong> has implemented are actually capable <strong>of</strong>. Therefore it isimportant to engage consultants that have experience <strong>of</strong> implementing solutions, andthat understand the full capabilities <strong>of</strong> the solutions that the <strong>Town</strong> operates. They canthen help guide the <strong>Town</strong> to develop plans that can take full advantage <strong>of</strong> systemscapabilities to address the business challenges that the <strong>Town</strong> faces. The Strategyrecommends budget allocations to consulting resources to do just this.2. BUILDING THE RIGHT SERVICES AND SKILLS IN-HOUSEWhile the <strong>Town</strong> can rely on the market to deliver certain services, there are otherswhere it makes more sense for those skills and expertise to be retained in house. This isparticularly true in areas where relationship building is a key requirement, where theresource demand can justify a full time staff person (that is likely cheaper if recruited29


directly by the <strong>Town</strong>) and where developing detailed understanding <strong>of</strong> municipalbusiness processes is needed.Establishing a helpdesk and securing resources with Business Analyst skills are two keyareas where retaining in-house staff makes business and strategic sense.2.1. Establishing a Help DeskThe IT team handles all IT problems and issues. Customers currently contact one <strong>of</strong> theIT staff via phone, by walking up to <strong>of</strong>fice or by logging a request online. Helpdeskrequests cover a variety <strong>of</strong> things from the simple: password resets and the new user, tothe more complex and involved problems involving PC’s, cellphones and s<strong>of</strong>twareconfigurations.The IT team has implemented some good practices. All IT requests are tracked fromreceipt to resolution in a helpdesk system. Using this historic data as a basis, it appearsthat the IT Team deals with approximately 2200 requests annually or 185 calls permonth. Based on industry average request resolution times (average 20 minute requestresolution), this amounts to approximately 0.8 <strong>of</strong> an FTE. So, <strong>of</strong> the 3 current ITresources, nearly a whole FTE equivalent is taken up handling operational IT requests.The IT team currently handles requests using the ‘next up’ approach: the next IT staffmember that is available responds to the request. In some cases this means that IT staffaren't available when needed, but most importantly this approach disrupts ITmaintenance and IT project work, and keeps all <strong>of</strong> the IT staff (including the IT Manager)operating in a reactive mode. The objective <strong>of</strong> setting up a dedicated helpdesk isprimarily to release the current IT staff to focus upon tasks and work that adds morevalue.Best practices and industry analysis suggest that the <strong>Town</strong> has reached a stage wherethey should establish a formalized help desk and devote dedicated resources to it(Gartner 5 suggests 1 helpdesk FTE per 70 users, other industry data ranges between aratio <strong>of</strong> 1:70 - 100 users).A helpdesk would provide:A lower cost resource to handle simpler, repetitive IT tasksA single contact point for requests (a single helpdesk phone number)Always available, complete <strong>of</strong>fice hours coverageA consistent database <strong>of</strong> issues and resolutionsA better knowledge and ability to respond to common issues and trendsA fourth IT staff member was approved in the 2013 budget. It is recommended that thisrole be established as an IT Analyst (Helpdesk), acting as the single point <strong>of</strong> contact forthe operation <strong>of</strong> the helpdesk. With the remaining 0.2 FTE being allocated to routine ITmaintenance tasks (log checking, backup processing) and projects (such as desktop PCreplacements).5 Gartner is a leading international IT Analyst and Advisory service30


In setting up the helpdesk function, the IT team should focus upon communicatingprocesses, setting service standards (e.g. target response and resolution times) anddeveloping meaningful performance measures to track and report performance from anIT Management and Senior Management perspective.2.2 Business AnalystLarger organizations separate out IT roles, because specialist skills are required fordifferent functions – it is unusual and difficult to find staff that are good at all <strong>of</strong> theroles required in IT. For example, in larger municipalities Project Manager, BusinessAnalyst, System Analyst, Network Specialist, Helpdesk Analyst (and many others) areseparate job roles. At <strong>Innisfil</strong> single ‘jack-<strong>of</strong>-all-trades’ Systems Analyst IT staff fulfill all<strong>of</strong> these roles.Given the increased focus on business systems suggested by this strategy, this is thearea that requires additional resources and attention.To be successful before an IT project can begin or a technology solution can be chosen,the business problem must be fully explored and understood, the project must bescoped, and the scope agreed with all stakeholders. Without getting this part right, the<strong>Town</strong> may implement the wrong solutions, to the wrong problems, with unsatisfactoryand costly results.Leading this definition <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong> the organization requires different skills from thetechnical skills required to ultimately implement the chosen solution (which is the role<strong>of</strong> the current Systems Analysts). The skills the <strong>Town</strong> needs are those <strong>of</strong> a BusinessAnalyst. With the work plan that is laid out in this strategy, we believe that the <strong>Town</strong>should consider, and can justify, hiring a full time Business Analyst (BA) in 2014. This BAwould play a central role in projects including the Intranet, Finance system businessprocess redesign and enhancements, MOAR development.Because <strong>of</strong> the skills that Business Analysts bring in terms <strong>of</strong> process analysis, andprocess improvement, these skills can be put to use on more broad corporate anddepartmental projects that do not necessarily involve technology. The <strong>Town</strong> may wishto consider positioning the Business Analyst as a corporate resource to work oncorporate wide and strategic initiatives. If so, this position may be located outside <strong>of</strong> IT.We have seen similar arrangements in other municipalities, but would caution that it isimportant that the BA is not seen as an ‘alternative’ to the IT team – this would becounter productive. It is imperative that the Business Analyst works closely with the ITteam, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, on technology and businessprojects.Given the pivotal importance <strong>of</strong> the Business Analyst role, and what we fully expect willbecome a growing reliance upon these skills, the <strong>Town</strong> should also budget for anadditional Business Analyst position in 2016.31


3. NEW IT ORGANIZATIONThe recommendations contained in this strategy will result in an IT organization asshown in Figure 4 below.In this model, the IT Manager oversees the internal IT team, including helpdesk, andsystems analyst staff. The IT Manager also manages and coordinates a network <strong>of</strong> 3 rdparty providers in support <strong>of</strong> the delivery <strong>of</strong> the overall IT service.Clearly it will be important for the IT Manager and IT Team to work closely with theBusiness Analyst’s on projects.Figure 4: Recommended IT Organization StructureProject Resourcing (Contract Resourcing and Backfilling)Projects that have insufficient resources have a high propensity for failure. Squeezingmore work into existing workloads simply doesn’t work. The <strong>Town</strong> must recognize thatsome <strong>of</strong> the technology projects it undertakes are large undertakings that should not beunder-estimated. In many cases the resource costs <strong>of</strong> the project will far outweigh thecost <strong>of</strong> purchasing a technology.The practice <strong>of</strong> using short-term contract resources (6 months – 2 years) for majortechnology projects is widely employed in other municipalities. This is <strong>of</strong>ten used tobackfill departmental or IT staff, to release in-house subject matter experts to work onprojects. The <strong>Town</strong> should consider using this approach; funding staff resources viacapital budgets for major IT initiatives, to ensure successful outcomes.4. IT REPORTING RELATIONSHIPGiven the need that we have outlined to give IT a higher organizational pr<strong>of</strong>ile, thestrategy has recommended two primary ways <strong>of</strong> achieving this: a new IT Governancemodel, which engages SMT in IT decision making and changes to the IT OrganizationStructure.32


The IT organization is currently housed within the Finance, Customer Service and ITDepartment. Where IT tends to be embedded within an operating department (in thiscase the Finance department), IT needs tend to get subsumed beneath the broaderdepartmental objectives.In our experience those municipalities where the IT leader (Director, Manager) is part <strong>of</strong>the Senior Management Team, IT performs better and is more likely to be directlyinvolved in supporting the activities and initiatives <strong>of</strong> all departments. We believe thatthis is not necessary at <strong>Innisfil</strong> – establishing the IT Steering Committee at the SMT levelshould provide sufficient opportunity to align IT with corporate priorities.33


5. Why Invest in IT, Why Invest in this Strategy?To implement the strategy requires increased in investment in IT, both capital andoperating.The strategy maintains that this investment is warranted, as it will build the foundationfor delivering service excellence, efficient and effective government and for meetingcustomer’s expectations.5.1 Invest to SaveIT should be seen as an investment – a long-term investment in increased productivityand improved customer service. The investment is in building a platform, the digitalfoundations for delivering efficient services. This is investment that will keep deliveringbenefits year over year by enabling corporate flexibility, releasing capacity to grow andadd new services, without adding new administrative staff and hence new costs.Investment in IT should be seen as “investing to save”. The <strong>Town</strong> makes investmentsupfront in technologies and expects to receive pay back, year over year on an ongoingbasis. But, technology projects should be considered in the longer term on their abilityto transform services, achieving future cost avoidance, not just immediate cost savings.A pay back <strong>of</strong> three to five years is a reasonable time frame for IT investments.Many <strong>of</strong> the solutions that the <strong>Town</strong> plans to implement over the course <strong>of</strong> the strategyare expected to deliver significant time savings. Examples include: The implementation <strong>of</strong> Time, Attendance and Scheduling solutions for a 160people organization can be expected to deliver time and cost savings equivalentto over $100,000 in data entry, auditing and overpayments in error. Online recruitment and applicant screening processes have been demonstratedto save 10’s <strong>of</strong> hours per recruitment process, both in HR and in the recruitingdepartments. Significant cost savings can be achieved by the <strong>Town</strong> and <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydropartnering (and sharing costs and technologies) on a joint SCADA solution Significant time savings are expected to be accrued from streamlining financialsystems data entry though systems integration Access to real time budget and expenditure data will allow Directors andManagers to more effectively and accurately manage their budgets Significant reductions in time spent by field based staff are expected to beachieved by providing mobile technology to these staff (previous experienceindicates for example that building inspectors have saved up to ½ an hour perinspection by completing all necessary paperwork electronically while on site. Atthe City <strong>of</strong> London, ON fire inspectors are carrying out 25% more inspectionssince they implemented mobile inspections tools). Online applications for permits, licenses and development approvals can beexpected to save staff time currently involved in data processing applications(estimates range from 10 – 30 minutes per application). Additional time-savings34


can also be expected by allowing customers to check the status <strong>of</strong> theirapplications online – reducing redundant calls into the town to check on status.Municipalities that have implemented these solutions for developmentapplications have seen 5 – 10 hours time savings per development application.Streamlining <strong>of</strong> the utility ‘locate’ process would allow one staff member,instead <strong>of</strong> 4 crews to carry out ‘locates’, achieving significant time-savings.So, many <strong>of</strong> the investments in technology, specifically in business systems, aredesigned to save time for staff and customers alike.5.2 Build foundations to support <strong>Town</strong> growthThe <strong>Town</strong> is poised to grow over the coming years. The pace and volume <strong>of</strong>development and building is expected to accelerate, new facilities and newinfrastructure will be added to the <strong>Town</strong>’s responsibilities. This growth will placepressures on existing service delivery avenues, as volumes <strong>of</strong> service requests,applications for permits and licenses and customer expectations for services grow.As the <strong>Town</strong> grows, ‘systems’ are required to ensure that it is operating effectively. So,the focus <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> should be upon ensuring that its business process and technologyfoundations are well established now. Building these efficient business processes andsupporting systems now, will ensure that as the <strong>Town</strong> can contain its costs as it grows,as it can minimize the number <strong>of</strong> staff that it needs to hire to support these businessfunctions.5.3 Managing better starts with the right information“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”.Experience has shown that if service managers can access the right data they can usethe data to identify the best and most efficient ways <strong>of</strong> delivering services.More effective information management, tracking and analysis as to the work that staffdo and how staff time is spent will lead to many opportunities to streamline operationsand reduce costs. For example, one City found by analyzing their own data that nearly33 percent <strong>of</strong> the wastewater department’s effort was spent resolving problems at just1.4 percent <strong>of</strong> customer sites. With this information, the city developed andimplemented a repair plan that resolved these ongoing issues and ultimately reducedcosts. It’s these types <strong>of</strong> insights, driven by information, that help organizations savemoney and deliver better value.Access to data and information in real time helps Directors and Managers monitor andmanage their programs, and direct staff to ensure that services are running smoothly.Changes can happen in real time, resulting in immediate improvements to servicequality and effectiveness. Cities, such as Waterloo, that have implemented real timemanagement dashboards for the Building Department, have made significantimprovements in customer satisfaction and staff efficiency.There are many hidden ways in which the <strong>Town</strong>’s processes are manual and inefficient.One example cited at <strong>Innisfil</strong> was the utility locates process. Because information is not35


managed in an integrated way, and technology is not available to get the rightinformation into field crews hands, this process currently requires four (4) separate fieldcrews from different <strong>Town</strong> departments to go onsite to fulfill a locate request. This is aninefficient use <strong>of</strong> staff time, takes longer than necessary to deliver the service, andpresents a poor impression <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> to customers. With data captured, and availableto field staff in the right way, a single staff person could carry out this function for the<strong>Town</strong>, saving time and delivering better customer service and value. It is not hard toimagine that there are many similar examples, seemingly small gaps in information orprocess, in almost every part <strong>of</strong> the organization that are ripe for improvement..36

somewhat. However, this broad plan should be a reasonable yardstick to measuresuccess over the coming years.6.2 Budget ImplicationsCAPITALThe following capital budget costs are incurred through the recommended strategy.Year Budget Requirement Existing Capital Budget Capital Budget Increase2013 91,500 (51,500) 40,0002014 344,000 (117,050) 226,9502015 218,950 (100,870) 118,0802016 137,000 (64,130) 72,8702017 200,000 (147,430) 52,5702018 65,000 0 65,000Average annual capital increase: 95,912Figure 6: Capital Budget ImpactsThis reflects the costs required to fund the implementation <strong>of</strong> new solutions andincreased investment in technology infrastructure and refresh programs.Clearly there is a bulge <strong>of</strong> spending in 2014, to catch up on work in a number <strong>of</strong> areas.On average this equates to an increase <strong>of</strong> approximately $96,000 per annum in capitalspending on IT. This in absolute terms is an increase <strong>of</strong> 42% over and above the 2013 ITcapital budget. However, this would increase the proportion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>’s capital spenton IT moderately, raising the proportion from approximately 0.8% to 1.2%, all thingsbeing equal.OPERATINGThe following increased operating costs are incurred.Year2013 2,500Budget Requirement2014 172,900 *2015 23,3502016 81,000 *2017 02018 0Total 279,950Figure 7: Operating Budget Impacts38


* These years include new operating costs for new Business Analyst positions at$75,000.These increased costs include new staffing costs as well as increased costs for 3 rd partysupport to support the hybrid operating model, licensing, maintenance and hostingcosts for new systems implemented and monthly service charges for mobile access to ITservices.The addition <strong>of</strong> two new staff makes up a large portion <strong>of</strong> the increased costs. Thisincrease would equate to an overall increase <strong>of</strong> IT operating costs by approximately 44%over 2013 budgeted operating costs, over the 5 year period. However, proportionally,this would mean an increase from 1.1% <strong>of</strong> total <strong>Town</strong> operating expenditures to 1.6%.Though these increases may appear steep, the increases are well within reasonablebounds as indicated by industry and municipal benchmarks discussed earlier. Moreimportantly, these increases are required if the <strong>Town</strong> is to meet the growing internaland customer expectations.39


7. Summary <strong>of</strong> Major RecommendationsAs outlined in the preceding sections, if the <strong>Town</strong> is to leverage technology moreeffectively as a strategic enabler, and if it is to meet the expectations the following keyrecommendations must be accepted and acted upon.The <strong>Town</strong> should:1. Accept the findings, and acknowledge the case for change,2. Accept that IT should play a more high pr<strong>of</strong>ile role as a strategic enabler <strong>of</strong>effective and efficient government,3. Endorse the strategic themes and major initiatives identified in the strategy,4. Implement the recommended IT governance model,5.

STAFF REPORT NO:TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTDSR-110-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:FROM:SUBJECT:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>Don Eastwood, Director <strong>of</strong> DevelopmentAlcona Downs 2 Phase 2 (I-T-0603) Draft Approved Plan <strong>of</strong>Subdivision – Proposed Redline RevisionsCROSS REF.:PDS-117-07, DSR-046-10RECOMMENDATION:That <strong>Council</strong> receive Staff Report DSR-110-13 regarding Alcona Downs 2 Phase 2 DraftApproved Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision (I-T-0603) Proposed Redline Revisions;That the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe be advised that the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> has no objection to theproposed redline revisions to Draft Approved Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision I-T-0603 to adjustselected lots, and the inclusion <strong>of</strong> revised conditions in the existing Draft Approvalconditions dated May 6, 2011. The revised conditions only relate to renumbering <strong>of</strong> theLots as required by the proposed redline revisions.BACKGROUND:An application for Draft Plan Approval was filed by Bousfields Inc. on behalf <strong>of</strong> Alcona DownsDevelopment Inc. on December 12, 2006, for a residential plan <strong>of</strong> subdivision known as AlconaDowns 2. The subject property is located south <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road and west <strong>of</strong> WebsterBoulevard, and known legally as Concession 7, Part <strong>of</strong> the North Half <strong>of</strong> Lots 21 and 22. ThePlan was Draft Approved by the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe on May 6, 2011, subject to conditions. AKey Map showing the location <strong>of</strong> the subject property is Attachment 1 to this Report. A reducedcopy <strong>of</strong> the Draft Approved Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision is Attachment 2 to this Report.Alcona Downs 2 has been divided into two phases. The first phase, consisting <strong>of</strong> 20 lots and 6part lots is the northernmost portion <strong>of</strong> the draft plan, and has been recently Registered as Plan51M-1007. The applicant has applied to the County and <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> for a proposed redlinerevision to the balance <strong>of</strong> the Draft Approved Plan (Phase 2), to provide a resizing <strong>of</strong> lots, that inthe opinion <strong>of</strong> the owner, better reflect market demands and the housing models beingproposed. Because <strong>of</strong> the timing requirement to complete the construction <strong>of</strong> WebsterBoulevard, the redline revisions would have to be approved by the <strong>Town</strong> and County in a shortperiod <strong>of</strong> time, in order to construct laterals to the proposed redlined lots before the road ispaved. More analysis <strong>of</strong> the redline proposal is provided in the following section.…/


Staff Report DSR-110-13 July 10, 2013Draft Approved Subdivision - Proposed Redline Revisions – Alcona Downs 2 Ph 2 Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 4ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:Details <strong>of</strong> the Plan <strong>of</strong> SubdivisionThe proposed revisions relate to minor residential lot line modifications. The owner is <strong>of</strong> theopinion that home models would fit more appropriately on lots <strong>of</strong> a different size (12.2m (40 ft)or 15.2m (50 ft) lots as opposed to 13.7m (45 ft) lots). Because <strong>of</strong> the changes to the lot sizes,one (1) additional lot is proposed, increasing the total number <strong>of</strong> lots in Alcona Downs 2 from 98to 99. To compensate, one (1) lot is proposed to be removed from Alcona Downs 3 (the thirdphase <strong>of</strong> the Alcona Downs development project) to provide the same number <strong>of</strong> overall lots inthe Alcona Downs development.Attachment 3 is the proposed redline plan. Lots 65 through 98 in the original draft approvedplan (Attachment 2) are affected by the proposed changes. Lots 68 through 71 are slightlyshallower in depth to provide room for one (1) additional lot on Webster Boulevard. Existing lots72 through 85 (proposed lots 72 through 86) are proposed to have frontages ranging from12.2m to 12.9m on Webster Boulevard (current frontages range from 12.2 to 14.9m). Minoradjustments have also been made to the lot lines and frontages <strong>of</strong> lots 65 to 67 and existing lots91-98 (proposed lots 92-99).Provincial Policy Statement, 2005This application is consistent with the policies outlined in the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS)2005, which states in Section 1.1.3.4 that appropriate development standards that promoteintensification, redevelopment and compact form should be promoted in Settlement Areas. Theaddition <strong>of</strong> one lot within Alcona Downs 2 would achieve these goals.Places to Grow – Provincial Growth PlanThe Phase II lands are within a designated Greenfield area. New development in designatedGreenfield areas must be planned, designated, zoned and designed in a matter that contributesto creating complete communities, creates urban form, densities and street configurations thatsupport walking, cycling, and the early integration and sustained viability <strong>of</strong> transit services,provides a mix <strong>of</strong> land uses, including residential and employment uses to support vibrantneighbourhoods; and, creates high quality public open spaces with site design and urban designstandards that support opportunities for transit, walking and cycling. With respect to creatingcomplete communities, Phase II <strong>of</strong> Alcona Downs draft plan <strong>of</strong> subdivision has been designedto integrate with the adjacent existing and proposed communities. When considered in context<strong>of</strong> the other phases <strong>of</strong> the Alcona Downs subdivision, the residential densities that have beenestablished, the grid-iron road configuration that follows Webster Boulevard, the main collector,and neighbourhood park are supportive <strong>of</strong> walking, cycling and public transit. Additionally, whenconsidered in context <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road corridor and the commercial developmentsbeing proposed, a mix <strong>of</strong> residential and employment uses will be achieved in the form <strong>of</strong> acompact, pedestrian and transit-supportive community through this proposal as the areadevelops.With respect to densities, Places to Grow requires a minimum overall density <strong>of</strong> 50 residentsand jobs combined per hectare for designated Greenfield areas. This plan has a mix <strong>of</strong> singledetacheddwelling units on 10.7m, 12.2m, 13.7m and 15.2m lots, achieving an overall unitdensity <strong>of</strong> approximately 17.14 units per hectare. When calculating persons and jobs per


Staff Report DSR-110-13 July 10, 2013Draft Approved Subdivision - Proposed Redline Revisions – Alcona Downs 2 Ph 2 Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 4hectare, the plan is slightly below the minimum density target <strong>of</strong> the Places to Grow GrowthPlan, however, when considered in context <strong>of</strong> the other Phases <strong>of</strong> Alcona Downs, the overallresidential density exceeds 50. Thus, this plan is consistent with the Places to Grow legislation.County Official PlanThe subject lands are located within the identified Settlement Area <strong>of</strong> Alcona in the County <strong>of</strong>Simcoe Official Plan. This proposal would conform to the provisions <strong>of</strong> that document.Official Plan ConformityWith respect to the Official Plan, the subject lands are located inside the Settlement Boundary <strong>of</strong>Alcona, and are designated Residential Low Density 1, Residential Low Density 2, and NaturalEnvironmental Area on Schedule B1 Land Use: Alcona. The Residential Low Density 2designation permits single-detached dwellings at net residential densities that shall not exceed20 units per hectare (Section 3.3.6.3). The Residential Low Density 1 designation permitssingle-detached dwellings at net residential densities that shall not exceed 12.5 units per nethectare (Section 3.3.5.3). As this draft plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision has an overall net density <strong>of</strong>approximately 18 units per hectare and exclusively contains single-detached dwellings, itconforms to the policies <strong>of</strong> the Official Plan.Zoning By-law ComplianceThe redline revision would not require a rezoning. It has been confirmed by the developer thatthe proposed lots comply with the existing zoning provisions and zone boundaries currently inplace on the subject lands (existing zoning is R3FS(H), R2FS(H) and EP-3).Other ConsiderationsClerical changes including potential changes to lot numbers and block numbers would berequired to the existing draft plan conditions as a result <strong>of</strong> the proposed redline revisions. <strong>Town</strong>staff are proposing that these matters are resolved by <strong>Town</strong> and County staff prior to the County<strong>of</strong> Simcoe issuing its decision on the redline changes to the Draft Plan.The redlined plan was circulated to <strong>Town</strong> staff for comment on June 18, 2013. Commentsreceived to date are summarized below.Agency and Staff Comments Received<strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro - No objections as long as a revised electrical drawing is submitted prior to finalDraft Plan Approval and Subdivision Agreement reflects revisions prior to electrical worksEngineering – No objections provided approved design drawings for Alcona Downs 1 Phase 1are revised for Butler Street and Webster Boulevard to reflect proposed revisionsOPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> has the option to deny or defer approval <strong>of</strong> the Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision and DraftApproval Conditions.

A municipality must also appoint an auditor who isresponsible for “annually auditing the accounts and transactions <strong>of</strong> the municipality and its localboards and expressing an opinion on the financial statements <strong>of</strong> these bodies based on theaudit” as required under section 296.1 (a). The <strong>Town</strong>’s external auditor is Grant Thornton and isappointed for a term <strong>of</strong> five years expiring with the 2015 audit.The Audit Committee met on June 3, 2013 and reviewed the draft 2012 audited consolidatedfinancial statements.

The largest item is the investment in tangiblecapital assets <strong>of</strong> $346.8M. This is reported on the balance sheet under non-financial assets withthe <strong>of</strong>fsetting amount shown as part <strong>of</strong> the accumulated surplus.


Staff Report DSR-111-13 July 10, 20132012 Consolidated Financial Statements Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 4Note 9 <strong>of</strong> the Financial Statements indicates an amount <strong>of</strong> $5,388,568 for “Surplus (deficit)”.This is comprised <strong>of</strong> the following:ItemAmount<strong>Town</strong> 2012 Operating Surplus $1,432,769<strong>Town</strong> Share <strong>of</strong> 2012 SSPS Surplus $59,358Sub-Total 2012 Operating Surplus $1,492,127Transfer <strong>of</strong> 2011 Surplus to Reserves $67,723<strong>Town</strong> Share <strong>of</strong> 2012 SSPS Unfunded Deficit * ($179,846)<strong>Innisfil</strong> Public Library Surplus $359,805Capital Fund ** $3,648,760Total $5,388,569*In 2011 the Police Board decided to fund $355,137 <strong>of</strong> their current year deficit from themunicipalities in future years. As such $175,291 was funded in 2012 with the remaining to befunded in 2013.**This amount represents funds (excluding development charges) that have been approved andallocated for capital projects but the expenditures have not yet occurred. As the projectproceeds and costs are incurred, the expenditures will form part <strong>of</strong> the tangible capital assetreported on the balance sheet.As previously reported in DSR-085-13 dated May 15, 2013, the operating surplus from <strong>Town</strong>operations including the proportionate share <strong>of</strong> BWG/<strong>Innisfil</strong> Police Services deficit was$1,492,127.The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> Public Library Board approved their 2012 financial statements on June 17,2013.Reserves and Reserve FundsThe new reporting requirements that commenced in 2009 also result in reserve and reservefunds being included as part <strong>of</strong> the accumulated surplus number. The balances in theseaccounts should represent cash to the <strong>Town</strong> as they are set aside for future operating andcapital needs. The net increase <strong>of</strong> $6.2M in reserve and reserve funds is represented by 2012budgeted transfers in reserve building, less transfers to capital.Obligatory reserve funds are reported in the financial statements as deferred revenue. Thesereserve funds are restricted as to their use by Provincial legislation and are largely comprised <strong>of</strong>development charges (DC) or funds collected through developer agreements. The DCcomponent <strong>of</strong> the deferred revenue decreased by $4M over 2011 placing the DC reserve fundsin a deficit <strong>of</strong> $1.8M. It is however worth noting that when taking into account the financialcommitment for all <strong>of</strong> the projects which have been approved but not completed the balance <strong>of</strong>the DC’s stands at a $16M deficit as at December 31, 2012($13.6M deficit-2011).


Staff Report DSR-111-13 July 10, 20132012 Consolidated Financial Statements Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 4OtherTaxes receivable have increased by $33,764 from 2011 to a total <strong>of</strong> $5,766,415. As apercentage <strong>of</strong> current year taxes billed, the yearend taxes receivables are 10.07% compared to10.61% for 2011.Included in the taxes receivable amount are amounts transferred to taxes for water &wastewater utility arrears that were not paid to <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro within 90 days <strong>of</strong> being due. Staffcontinues focused efforts to collect tax arrears through the registration <strong>of</strong> a tax arrears certificatefor properties three years or more past due which usually results in financial institutionsbecoming involved to protect their interests. The transfer <strong>of</strong> the water/wastewater arrearsensures that tax arrears notices and tax sale documents contain everything that is owed to themunicipality and is a more effective means <strong>of</strong> protecting the <strong>Town</strong>’s interests.The Province indicates that the average for municipalities in our area was 8.5% in 2011 andanything less than 10% is considered a low risk as a financial indicator. However, it is not knownwhether other municipalities yearend numbers include water and wastewater arrears or not. Theproperty tax component cannot be properly determined through the <strong>Town</strong>’s taxes receivablesystem as all amounts added form part <strong>of</strong> the tax roll account balance. Staff anticipated that theamount would remain high for the 2012 reporting year due to the transfer <strong>of</strong> water/wastewaterbilling to <strong>Innisfil</strong> Hydro and a further transfer <strong>of</strong> past due accounts to the property tax roll.However, <strong>Council</strong> should be confident that proper collection procedures are in place to reducethe outstanding amounts and/or ensure it is received through available legal processesincluding tax sale.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:There are no options or alternatives proposed within this report.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:There are no financial considerations or impact resulting from the recommendation <strong>of</strong> thisreport.CONCLUSION:That the report be received and the 2012 consolidated financial statements be approved.PREPARED BY:Audrey Webb,Deputy Treasurer/Manager <strong>of</strong> AccountingAPPROVED BY:________________________Lockie Davis,Director <strong>of</strong> Finance and Customer Service/CFOAttachments: 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary <strong>of</strong> significant accounting policies (continued)(ii) Accounting for the County and School Board transactionsThe taxation, other revenue, expenditures, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations <strong>of</strong> theCounty and the School Boards are not reflected in these financial statements.(iii) Tangible capital assetsTangible capital assets are recorded at cost, which includes all amounts that are directly attributable toacquisition, construction, development or betterment <strong>of</strong> the asset. The costs <strong>of</strong> the tangible capital assetsare capitalized as an individual or pooled asset when within the given thresholds. Assets which are belowthe thresholds established by the Board are expensed as incurred. Amortization is calculated on a straightlinebasis over their estimated useful lives for all classes except land; land is considered to have an infinitelife without amortization. In the year <strong>of</strong> acquisition a half year <strong>of</strong> amortization is taken on the new asset.Major GroupUseful LifeThreshold – One toOneThreshold –Pooled AssetsLand Infinite Capitalized N/ALand Improvements 10 – 40 Years $10,000 $20,000Buildings 15 – 75 Years $20,000 N/ALeasehold Improvements 25 Years $10,000 N/AEquipment 4 – 75 Years $5,000 $20,000Vehicles 10 – 20 Years $5,000 N/ALinear Assets 10 – 100 Years $5,000 - $50,000 $20,000Roads Linear Assets 10 – 75 Years Capitalized N/AContributions <strong>of</strong> tangible capital assetsTangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date <strong>of</strong> receiptand also recorded as revenue.

The Corporation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsDecember 31, 20121. Summary <strong>of</strong> significant accounting policies (continued)(iii)Tangible capital assets (continued)LeasesLeases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all <strong>of</strong> the benefitsand risks incidental to ownership <strong>of</strong> property are accounted for as capital leases. All other leases areaccounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses as incurred.Write-down <strong>of</strong> tangible capital assetsThe value <strong>of</strong> a tangible capital asset will be written down, or reduced, when there has been a decline in theasset’s value. This can arise for a variety <strong>of</strong> reasons including significant technological developments,physical damage to the asset or removal <strong>of</strong> the asset from service.(iv)Deferred revenue for obligatory reservesReceipts which are restricted by legislation <strong>of</strong> senior governments or by agreement with external parties aredeferred and reported as restricted revenue. When qualifying expenditures are incurred, restricted revenuesare brought into revenue at equal amounts. Revenue received in advance <strong>of</strong> expenditures, which will beincurred in a later period, are deferred until they are earned by being matched against those expenditures.(v)Taxation and related revenuesProperty tax billings are prepared by the <strong>Town</strong> based on assessment rolls issued by the Municipal PropertyAssessment Corporation (“MPAC”). Tax rates are established annually by <strong>Council</strong>, incorporating amounts tobe raised for local services, the requisition made by the County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe in respect <strong>of</strong> County services andamounts the <strong>Town</strong> is required to collect on behalf <strong>of</strong> the Province <strong>of</strong> Ontario in respect <strong>of</strong> education taxes.The legislation limits assessment-related increases in property tax bills to 5% annually for commercial,industrial and multi-residential classes <strong>of</strong> property until the affected properties are taxed at a level equivalentto the tax otherwise calculated based on their current value assessment. A normal part <strong>of</strong> the assessmentprocess is the issue <strong>of</strong> supplementary assessment rolls that update information with respect to changes inproperty assessment. Once a supplementary assessment roll is received, the <strong>Town</strong> determines the taxesapplicable and renders supplementary tax billings. Taxation revenues are recorded at the time tax billings areissued. Assessments and the related property taxes are subject to appeal. Tax adjustments as a result <strong>of</strong>appeals are recorded when the result <strong>of</strong> the appeal process is known. The <strong>Town</strong> is entitled to collect interestand penalties on overdue taxes. These revenues are recorded in the year the interest and penalties arelevied.9

Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP)The Ontario Home Renewal Program was established by the Ontario Ministry <strong>of</strong> Housing in 1973 toprovide grants for <strong>Town</strong>’s to make loans to assist owner occupants to repair, rehabilitate and improvetheir homes to local property standards. Individual loans are limited to $7,500, <strong>of</strong> which the maximumforgivable portion is $4,000.Ontario Home Renewal Program loans receivable at December 31, 2012 comprise repayable loans <strong>of</strong>$468 (2011 - $3,827). Loan forgiveness is earned and recorded at a rate <strong>of</strong> up to $600 per year <strong>of</strong>continuous ownership and occupancy. In the event <strong>of</strong> the sale or lease <strong>of</strong> the home or in the event <strong>of</strong> thehomeowner ceasing to occupy the home, the balance <strong>of</strong> the repayable loan and the unearned forgivableloan immediately becomes due and payable by the homeowner.Pursuant to the April 1993 Ontario Budget this program has been discontinued.No new loans can be advanced and existing loans are being collected and forwarded to the Province <strong>of</strong>Ontario.30


TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTSTAFF REPORT NO: DSR-112-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>FROM:Andrew Campbell, Director <strong>of</strong> InfrastructureSUBJECT:<strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Construction - Private EntranceRECOMMENDATION:THAT <strong>Council</strong> confirm the previously approved <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Design for theinstallation <strong>of</strong> the median and planter at the Webster Boulevard intersection, therebyrestricting the right in/right out entrance to the driveway at 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road, asoutlined in Staff Report DSR-112-13.BACKGROUND:In 2007 the <strong>Town</strong> completed an urban design study to provide guidelines for the urbanization <strong>of</strong><strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road. One <strong>of</strong> the recommendations was to install planters at the end <strong>of</strong> the leftturn medians at the future intersection <strong>of</strong> Webster Boulevard and <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road. Thepurpose <strong>of</strong> the medians is to safely channel traffic to provide a protected left turn lane. Theplanters are the streetscape feature to the roadway.Throughout the design process there have been several opportunities for residents to providecomments and raise their concerns for the final design. The residents at 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> BeachRoad had expressed concerns to staff about their private entrance becoming a right in/right outonly situation (see attachment 1). Due to staffing changes it is unclear if the resident’s concernshad been taken into consideration and the results not communicated back to them, or if it wasoverlooked.The design <strong>of</strong> the road urbanization has since been completed and construction hascommenced in the final precinct. At this time the resident is asking that the median be removedfrom in front <strong>of</strong> their entrance…/


Staff Report DSR-112-13 July 10, 2013<strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Construction - Private Entrance Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 4ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:A traffic median is the area which separates opposing lanes <strong>of</strong> traffic creating a barrier to trafficprotecting vehicles making a left turn, which statistically the occurrence <strong>of</strong> accidents is greaterwhile making a left turn. The design <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road includes medians at signalizedintersections consisting <strong>of</strong> raised concrete curbs that have been enhanced at the end byincluding a planter to provide a streetscaping element.In previous precincts there are several residents and businesses that are affected by themedians and planters creating a right in/right out situation. The affected properties are locatedat the 25 th Sideroad, Willard St/St John’s Road and several in between. In Precinct 1 there arethree residential properties that will be affected by the medians (See attachment 2).In the past it has been the <strong>Town</strong>’s position that the medians at signalized intersections areimportant to provide safety to the travelling public by prohibiting undesirable traffic movementand provide an opportunity for deceleration. The planters at the end <strong>of</strong> the median are also astreetscaping theme along the entire roadway.The following are three potential options in response to the concerns raised by the owner <strong>of</strong>1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road:Option 1: Continue with Current Design (Attachment 3):Continue to construct the median and planters in accordance with the design. Thisoption would maintain consistency throughout the entire length <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Innisfil</strong> BeachRoad Urbanization project.The impact to 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road would be a right in/right out turning restriction fortheir driveway. The current construction contract includes the median and planter as perthe design therefore continuing with the works is already provided for within the budget.Option 2: Remove Planter and Shorten Median (Attachment 4):Changing the design to remove the planter and shorten the median would significantlyalter the appearance <strong>of</strong> the roadway and would not balance the east and west ends <strong>of</strong>the intersection medians. The streetscaping for the roadway in Precinct 1 has beenreduced to a few elements one <strong>of</strong> which is the island planters.With the planter removed and the median length reduced access to the existingdriveway at 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road will not be ideal. The median would still restrict aleft turning vehicle from entering the center left turn lane therefore partially obstructingthe east bound through lane.Removing the planter and reducing the median would reduce the construction costs byapproximately $10,000. Staff would not recommend this option given the impact to the


Staff Report DSR-112-13 July 10, 2013<strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Construction - Private Entrance Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 4streetscaping <strong>of</strong> the roadway and the fact that some restrictions to the left turnmovement would still exist.Option 3: Reduce Planter Length, Shorten Median and Realign Driveway (Attachment 5):The third option would be to reduce the length <strong>of</strong> the planter and median combined witha realignment <strong>of</strong> the driveway to 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road. The driveway could berealigned to the east property boundary in combination with the reduced planter andmedian providing unrestricted turning movements into the property.Reducing the length <strong>of</strong> the planter would still maintain the streetscaping elements <strong>of</strong> theroadway design which would therefore be consistent with the existing section <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>Beach Road.The financial impact to this option would be a reduction in cost for the shortened planterand median and an increased cost for the realignment <strong>of</strong> the driveway:Reduce Planter and Median -$6,500Driveway Realignment $9,000Increased project cost $2,500Should the design for <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Precinct 1 be revised to address the concernsraised by the owner, staff would recommend the reduced planter and median option.This option will maintain the streetscaping element <strong>of</strong> the roadway design and providefor unrestricted access to the landowners property.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:The alternate options for <strong>Council</strong>’s consideration would include:Option 2:Option 3:That <strong>Council</strong> direct the change in design and construction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Innisfil</strong> BeachRoad Precinct 1 project for the removal <strong>of</strong> the planter and shortening <strong>of</strong> themedian in front <strong>of</strong> 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road in accordance with the design shownon attachment 4.That <strong>Council</strong> direct the change in design, construction and budget approval forthe <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Precinct 1 project to reduce the length <strong>of</strong> the planter,median and the relocation <strong>of</strong> the driveway for 1326 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road inaccordance with the design shown on attachment 5.


Staff Report DSR-112-13 July 10, 2013<strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Construction - Private Entrance Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 4FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:There would be no financial impact to the <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Urbanization project budget toimplement the staff recommendation.CONCLUSION:The raised medians at the signalized intersections provide a safety feature for the left turninglane. Staff would not recommend reducing or eliminating the median from the constructionworks. The planters at the end <strong>of</strong> the median are a streetscaping element that have beeninstalled along the <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road Urbanization.

TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTSTAFF REPORT NO: DSR-113-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>FROM:Andrew Campbell, Director <strong>of</strong> InfrastructureSUBJECT:St. Johns Road and Maple Road, Request for Safety BarrierRECOMMENDATION:THAT realignment <strong>of</strong> the curve at the intersection <strong>of</strong> St. John’s Road and Maple Road beconsidered in the 2014 Capital Budget process, as out lined in DSR-113-13;BACKGROUND:In October 2011 staff report DSR-159-11 presented to <strong>Council</strong> a report addressing roadwaysafety concerns that had been expressed by the residents adjacent the curve at the St John’sRoad and Maple Road intersection. A safety review report prepared by C. C. Tatham andAssociates (CCT) outlined several potential options that could be implemented at theintersection.The resolution in 2011 was that white edge lines along the inside and outside edge <strong>of</strong> the curvewould be painted as part <strong>of</strong> the 2012 line painting program.In January 2012 <strong>Council</strong> directed staff to investigate options regarding a request to consider aroad safety barrier on St. John’s Road (CR-008-21.13).ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The safety review report completed by CCT provided an analysis <strong>of</strong> the curve in the road at theintersection <strong>of</strong> St Johns Road and Maple Road. The following existing conditions were identifiedand have been compared with <strong>Town</strong> Engineering Standards and MTO Design Standards:…/

The current postedspeed is in accordance with the <strong>Town</strong> approved Traffic Policy for Urban Road Speed Limits.Standard engineering design is to provide motorists with a radius <strong>of</strong> curve for a design speedhigher than the posted speed limit for the roadway. In the case <strong>of</strong> St Johns Road and MapleRoad the design standards for a 60 km/hr roadway have been provided as a comparisonshowing the standards that this type <strong>of</strong> roadway should be designed.The best solution to address the concerns raised by the local area residents would be toreconstruct the roadway to provide a minimum horizontal curve in accordance with the abovedesign standards. The reconstruction solution would require land acquisition and a significantcapital budget expenditure which is not currently within the <strong>Town</strong>’s capital budget program.Since the road safety report has been issued by CCT the <strong>Town</strong> has installed additional curvewarning signs, painted white lines along both sides <strong>of</strong> the roadway and tree trimming along thecurve to improve the sight lines for the curve.Steel Beam Guiderail:Roadside safety includes elements such as clear zones from the travel surface to objects suchas hydro poles, rocks, etc or depressions such as a valley caused from a stream. If theproximity <strong>of</strong> these hazards poses a significant threat to the motorist than a Steel Beam Guiderailis an option to protect the motorist from the hazard. The proximity and severity <strong>of</strong> the hazards atthe St Johns Road/Maple Road intersection would not warrant the installation <strong>of</strong> a steel beamguiderail.The purpose <strong>of</strong> a steel beam guiderail is not to stop a motorist that leaves the roadway fromdamaging a fence or crossing the road allowance property boundary. If <strong>Council</strong> determined thata steel beam guiderail was a reasonable solution to address the concerns that have been raisedwith respect to vehicles leaving the roadway than a steel beam guiderail can be installed. Theapproximate cost for the installation <strong>of</strong> the steel beam guiderail would be $35,000.


Staff Report DSR-113-13 July 10, 2013St Johns Road, Request for Safety Barrier Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 3OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> has the option to direct that a Steel Beam Guiderail be installed at the intersection <strong>of</strong> StJohns Road and Maple Road for an estimated capital cost <strong>of</strong> $35,000 and fund from the CapitalReserve Fund.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:The cost <strong>of</strong> the realignment is estimated to be $200,000. It is proposed that this work beconsidered in conjunction with the 2014 Capital Budget.CONCLUSION:Roadway Standards have been developed for the province that guides decisions for theinstallation <strong>of</strong> traffic features such as steel beam guiderails. Those standards are used to makerecommendations to <strong>Council</strong> for the installation or non-installation <strong>of</strong> the feature. In this instancethe standards do not support the installation <strong>of</strong> the steel beam guiderail. However if <strong>Council</strong>chooses to proceed with the installation <strong>of</strong> a steel beam guiderail at the St Johns Road andMaple Road intersection the steel bean guiderail can be installed.PREPARED BY:Grant ShellswellManager <strong>of</strong> Capital EngineeringAPPROVED BY:________________________Andrew Campbell,Director <strong>of</strong> Infrastructure


TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTSTAFF REPORT NO: DSR-114-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>FROM:Andrew Campbell, Director <strong>of</strong> InfrastructureSUBJECT:Lefroy Reservoir, Winter Heating CostsRECOMMENDATION:THAT the Lefroy Reservoir and Booster Station capital budget be increased by $300,000and funded from the Development Charges Reserve fund; andThat in accordance with the <strong>Town</strong>’s Procurement Policy the additional costs in theamount <strong>of</strong> $300,000 be approved for the Christie Mechanical contract, as outlined inDSR-114-13.BACKGROUND:The <strong>Town</strong> entered into a contract with Christie Mechanical in the late summer <strong>of</strong> 2012 for theconstruction <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Reservoir and Booster Station. The project is a growth related capitalproject therefore funded from Development Charges.In the case <strong>of</strong> the Lefroy Reservoir the Development Charges funding for the project came froma Pre-payment Agreement executed with Lormel Homes. The Lormel Homes developmentrequires the Reservoir and Booster Station as municipal infrastructure to supply thedevelopment with municipal water.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The Lefroy Reservoir and Booster Station was tendered in March 2012 with the intension thatconstruction would commence in May 2012. As a result <strong>of</strong> delays in the land transfer and therequired pre-payment funds from the developer the start date for construction was delayed toSeptember 2012.The late start date for construction resulted in the project proceeding through the winter monthswhich means that the project has incurred additional costs for concrete and winter protection <strong>of</strong>the concrete during the curing period.…/

The value <strong>of</strong> the winter construction is $260,000 in construction costs andanother $40,000 for engineering associated with the winter construction. In accordance with the<strong>Town</strong>’s Procurement Policy a cost increase on a contract that exceeds 10% or $50,000 requiresthe approval <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:The works have been completed and the costs incurred. Therefore the <strong>Town</strong> has no alternativebut to compensate the contractor for the additional costs incurred for the winter construction.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:The financial impact to the <strong>Town</strong> for the winter heat construction costs will increase the projectcosts by $300,000.The additional costs would be funded from the same source as the original project budget whichis the municipal water Development Charges reserve fund.CONCLUSION:To service the development site for Lormel Homes with municipal water the Lefroy Reservoirand Booster Station need to be completed. Lormel Homes has provided the DevelopmentCharges Pre-payment to the <strong>Town</strong> which is being used to fund the construction <strong>of</strong> the project.The <strong>Town</strong> is working to build stronger relationships with the developers in the community andtherefore staff proceeded with the construction <strong>of</strong> the reservoir and booster station during thewinter months and therefore incurred the additional winter construction costs.PREPARED BY:Grant ShellswellManager <strong>of</strong> Capital EngineeringAPPROVED BY:________________________Andrew Campbell,Director <strong>of</strong> Infrastructure

Ltd., the ”Developer” owns the lands referred to asSummer Lane, Sandy Trail (“Development”) located <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Sandy Trail. These lands were draftplan approved in 2009. Following draft plan approval, staff have been working with theDeveloper on the review <strong>of</strong> the engineering design drawings and the fulfillment <strong>of</strong> the draft planconditions. The execution <strong>of</strong> a subdivision agreement with the <strong>Town</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> these conditions.The <strong>Town</strong> is working on a Development Charge Credit Agreement that will be similar to otherAlcona subdivisions which requires development charges to be paid within a four year paymentperiod from Plan registration. As part <strong>of</strong> a Development Charge Credit Agreement, water andsewer allocation is approved for the Development.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:Subdivision AgreementThe Developer is seeking approval <strong>of</strong> the Subdivision Agreement as the Development isproceeding to sales and registration. The Developer has submitted all <strong>of</strong> the required reports asindicated in the approved draft plan conditions and has submitted an approved set <strong>of</strong>Underground Servicing engineering drawings. However the <strong>Town</strong> has not received final“Accepted for Construction” engineering drawings for this development at the time this reportwas submitted to <strong>Council</strong>.Time is <strong>of</strong> the essence and staff are seeking authority to prepare the Subdivision Agreementand the approval to execute the agreement based on the following commercial terms:The <strong>Town</strong>’s approved precedent standard form <strong>of</strong> Subdivision Agreement is usedDeveloper cash working deposit <strong>of</strong> $75,000.00 is in placeThe Developer is to provide the <strong>Town</strong>’s standard securities beingo 100% <strong>of</strong> uncompleted works;o 15% maintenance security for completed works;o $1000.00 security per Fire Break lot;o 10% Contingency;o 10% Engineering securityThe Developer is to provide the <strong>Town</strong>’s standard insurance requirementsAll conditions <strong>of</strong> the Draft Plan <strong>of</strong> Subdivision will be enforcedThe Developer is to prepare engineering drawings to the <strong>Town</strong>’s satisfactionLegal Services will prepare the Subdivision Agreement and have the Mayor and Clerk executethe agreement after the Developer has executed the agreement, provided all necessary

Staff Report DSR-116-13 July 10, 2013Wastewater Services EMS Policy and Plan Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 5ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:Regulatory Atmosphere:Since the Walkerton Tragedy <strong>of</strong> 2010, the Ontario Ministry <strong>of</strong> the Environment has drasticallyaltered and increased the legislation surrounding municipal drinking water systems, throughoutthe province. The final provision (Statutory Standard <strong>of</strong> Care provision) <strong>of</strong> the Safe DrinkingWater Act, 2002 came into force on December 31, 2012.Now that the MOE has completed the implementation <strong>of</strong> the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Waterand Wastewater industry is <strong>of</strong> the inclination that the focus will now shift to municipalwastewater operations. Recently, this has been confirmed with the MOE’s announcement onMay 16, 2013 that Safe Drinking Water Branch will now be administering the Wastewaterinspection protocol. This communication has been appended as Attachment 1 to this report.The expectation now, is that a regulatory overhaul similar to that recently conducted in theWater Industry is in the foreseeable future.In preparation for more stringent inspection protocols and in a bid to align ourselves withInspiring <strong>Innisfil</strong> 2020’s supporting behavior <strong>of</strong> “Leadership that aims higher”, InfrastructureServices has led the development <strong>of</strong> an Environmental Management System based on the ISO14001 Standard. This will provide Wastewater Services with a set <strong>of</strong> policies and procedures toeffectively navigate the regulatory changes ahead.Environmental Management System (EMS)An EMS is a tool encompassing policies, processes, resources and responsibilities, forimplementing environmental management. Such a system will aid Wastewater Services toachieve and demonstrate ongoing compliance with current environmental regulations andprovide the framework for a systematic approach to addressing the need for alterations toadministration or operational control procedures in response to evolving environmentallegislation.Environmental Policy StatementThe Environmental Policy is the over-arching policy for the entire Environmental ManagementSystem. This is the document in which the <strong>Town</strong>, as the Owner <strong>of</strong> the Wastewater Systems,demonstrates its commitments to the prevention <strong>of</strong> pollution, to comply with applicable legal andother requirements, and to continually improve the system.The Environmental Policy Statement will be reviewed by <strong>Council</strong> every 3 years to be alignedwith the strategic direction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>.The Wastewater Services Environmental Management System Policy Statement is appended tothis report as Attachment 2.


Staff Report DSR-116-13 July 10, 2013Wastewater Services EMS Policy and Plan Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 5EMS Operational PlanThe EMS Operational Plan, appended as Attachment 3, is essentially the Executive Overviewfor the Environmental Management System. It contains a description <strong>of</strong> each ISO 14001Environmental Management Standard requirement, as well as a reference to the procedure thateffectively addresses the Standard requirement.System, Operational Control, and Emergency Response ProceduresThe development <strong>of</strong> an EMS requires that a variety <strong>of</strong> procedures be prepared. TheWastewater Services EMS has been structured such that there are three distinct sets <strong>of</strong>procedures. They are:• System Procedures;• Operational Control Procedures; and• Emergency Response ProceduresThe System Procedures lay the administrative framework for the Environmental ManagementSystem. These procedures describe, in detail, the processes in place to address specificStandard requirements such as, Record and Document Control, Internal audits andmanagement review, etc.The Operational Control set <strong>of</strong> procedures are the result <strong>of</strong> the completion <strong>of</strong> the AspectAssessment. The process <strong>of</strong> completing an Aspect Assessment results in a listing <strong>of</strong> activitiesconducted by Wastewater Services, and essentially ranks them based on the significance theimpact to the environment could be in the absence <strong>of</strong> monitoring and control. Theseprocedures, if followed, are designed to direct the day-to-day activities <strong>of</strong> the Operations staffsuch that activities that may have a significant impact on the environment are conducted in aconsistent manner and with the best available techniques. This series <strong>of</strong> procedures currentlyaddresses activities that have been identified as significant aspects <strong>of</strong> Wastewater Operations,however, may be expanded upon over time to direct Wastewater Operations staff in thecompletion <strong>of</strong> their duties, even if there are no significant environmental concerns.

Staff Report DSR-116-13 July 10, 2013Wastewater Services EMS Policy and Plan Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 5Registration: Self-DeclarationThird party certification to ISO14001 is carried out by an accredited certification body. Anorganization can achieve conformance with ISO 14001 either through self-declaration orthrough third party registration.Formal registration can be costly and many organizations report symptoms <strong>of</strong> audit fatiguesyndrome during the development and early stages <strong>of</strong> management system implementation.While credibility and consumer confidence may be important for a company or business to seekaccredited third party verification, local governments are influenced by other factors, such aspolitical accountability, transparency in decision-making, working for the public good etc. that ismore suited to self-declaration. Therefore, the recommended avenue <strong>of</strong> registration for the<strong>Town</strong>s Wastewater Environmental Management System is self-declaration.Self-declaration means that the <strong>Town</strong> will issue a statement based on our own determination,that upon review <strong>of</strong> our management system, we have met all the specified requirements (inISO 14001). Rather than seeking external assistance to prove it, the <strong>Town</strong> will retain theresponsibility for testing <strong>of</strong> the management system. The burden <strong>of</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> that WastewaterServices has met all the requirements <strong>of</strong> ISO 14001 will remain within the corporation.Staff are also recommending that <strong>Council</strong>lors endorse the importance <strong>of</strong> the EMS Plan bysigning Attachment 4.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> has the option to further revise the EMS Operational Plan and/or the EMS PolicyStatement.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:There are no direct financial impacts relating to the endorsement <strong>of</strong> the EnvironmentalManagement System Policy and Operational Plan.CONCLUSION:By approving the EMS Policy Statement <strong>Council</strong> affirms its commitment to the development,implementation and maintenance <strong>of</strong> the Environmental Management System for WastewaterServices.PREPARED BY:Karel Kamerman,Senior Regulatory Compliance Officer

The Policy, signed and endorsed by the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong><strong>Council</strong>, EMS Top Management (Director <strong>of</strong> Infrastructure), and the designated EMSRepresentative, is the driver for implementing and improving the EMS, so that we may maintainand potentially improve our environmental performance.The Environmental Policy applies to all activities undertaken or supervised by WastewaterServices, is reviewed annually by Top Management, communicated to all Wastewater Servicesstaff as well as contractors conducting work on behalf Wastewater Services, and is madeavailable to the public.The Communication Procedure (WW-SP-500) describes how the Policy is to be communicatedto interested parties.Environmental AspectsAn environmental aspect is any element <strong>of</strong> an organization’s activities, products or services thatcan interact with the environment, be it a positive or negative interaction. The ISO 14001Standard requires that an organization identify the environmental aspects which it has or couldcontrol, and those which it may have an influence over. An Aspect Assessment Procedure(WW-SP-150) has been developed and implemented. The procedure outlines how aspects areidentified, evaluated and ranked. It goes on to describe how this assessment is recorded andcommunicated to stakeholders.UNCONTROLLED – WHEN PRINTED(Refer to electronic documentation to ensure version is current)Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 5

The zone exceptions in the current by-law havelargely been carried forward. A few exceptions related to expired temporary uses havebeen deleted.Schedule A – Maps – identifies the zones corresponding to all lands within the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>.2.3 Public and <strong>Council</strong> Comment SummaryAttachment 2 is a table that summarizes comments received at the public meeting together withwritten submissions from residents. This table has formed the basis <strong>of</strong> activities over the last 6months to further improve the new zoning by-law in a manner that is not only progressive butalso reflects the needs <strong>of</strong> both residents and the planning department to implement policy.2.4 Summary <strong>of</strong> Key ChangesThe following highlights some <strong>of</strong> the key changes in the new Draft Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw,in comparison to the existing Zoning By-law 054-04 and previous draft versions.a) Relate Zone Categories to Official Plan DesignationsThe permitted uses and performance standards for the existing Residential zone categories aregenerally the same as they currently exist. In order to minimize the number <strong>of</strong> zones, a number<strong>of</strong> existing Residential zone categories (R1S, RPS, and R1FS) have been consolidated into aR1 zone, which provides differentiation by type <strong>of</strong> servicing), similar to the existing standards.b) Implementation <strong>of</strong> Mixed Use ZonesMixed use zones represent key opportunities for community building, healthy main street andeconomic development. New Mixed Use zone categories for the urban core areas <strong>of</strong> Alcona,Cookstown and Lefroy. MU1 and MU2 zones have been consolidated in the Zoning By-law forthe Alcona urban core area (save and except 3 individual sites remaining under appeal to theOMB), as have been approved by the OMB in June 2013. New MU zones have been


Staff Report DSR-118-13 July 10, 2013Comprehensive Zoning By-Law UpdatePublic Meeting and Open House Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 10established for the Lefroy (MU4) and Cookstown (MU5) urban core areas to implement thedirections <strong>of</strong> the Official Plan. The new MU zones are generally consistent with the Alcona MUzones, or the Core Commercial zone, as it currently applies to Cookstown, but reflect uniquevariations in permitted uses and performance standards (i.e., maximum building height). TheMU zones provide for a variety <strong>of</strong> commercial, retail and residential uses within a more compactand urban built form, and apply the land use permissions, building heights and urban designconsiderations identified in the <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan.c) <strong>Innisfil</strong> Heights Employment AreaDuring the course <strong>of</strong> the preparation <strong>of</strong> the Zoning By-law, staff determined that there wereinsufficient planning policies in place in order to properly inform the development <strong>of</strong> specificzoning provisions. The lack <strong>of</strong> guiding policy is a result <strong>of</strong> the outstanding appeals in the <strong>Town</strong>’scurrent OP in relation to <strong>Innisfil</strong> Heights, the appeal <strong>of</strong> the draft County OP, and only recentdirection from the Minister <strong>of</strong> Infrastructure regarding preferred land uses.To change land uses and provisions as part <strong>of</strong> the zoning by-law update would require relianceon conflicting existing land use policies that remain in effect. It became apparent during theconsiderations related to <strong>Innisfil</strong> Heights, that an area specific secondary plan later this year orthe first half <strong>of</strong> 2014, could rely on the outcomes <strong>of</strong> relevant appeals and consider the provincialland uses contained in Places to Grow. This Secondary Plan process has already included inthe Planning capital budget.d) Georgian DownsThe Comprehensive Zoning By-law has been updated to reflect the current Minster’s ZoningOrder and extend the existing zoning permissions on lands owned by the Georgian Downsproperty (IBP-3). The IBP-3 zone has been modified to reflect the current facility as well asrecognizing the potential for new games <strong>of</strong> chance that could occur in the existing building or aspart <strong>of</strong> future redevelopment. “Gaming facility” has been added as a permitted use, within thecurrent exception (IBP-3) pertaining to the property. These lands represent a logical expansionto the existing use <strong>of</strong> the subject property.Gaming Facility is defined in the new zoning by-law as:a facility where people congregate for gaming, entertainment, or racing activities andmay include supporting uses limited to retail uses, banquet halls, taverns, conferences,meetings, recreational centres, restaurants, and business and pr<strong>of</strong>essional <strong>of</strong>fices.e) Waterfront LotsIn recognition <strong>of</strong> the Official Plan policies and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, the Zoning Bylawhas been revised to zone shoreline waterfront lots with a “-W” suffix, to which theregulations <strong>of</strong> Section 3.49 <strong>of</strong> the Zoning By-law will apply. The intent <strong>of</strong> these regulations is topromote a greater building setback from the lake, by establishing a maximum front yard setbackas well as a minimum building setback from the shoreline. These regulations do not affectexisting buildings and provision is made for expansions to legally existing buildings.Furthermore, new regulations have been included which will require development on waterfrontlots to maintain a minimum <strong>of</strong> 50% <strong>of</strong> the waterfront yard as a naturalized vegetation area.


Staff Report DSR-118-13 July 10, 2013Comprehensive Zoning By-Law UpdatePublic Meeting and Open House Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 10Waterfront lots are also subject to permit requirements from the Conservation Authority wherelocated in the hazard lands/regulated area overlay as indicated on the Zoning Mapsf) BoathousesThroughout the public consultations concerns were expressed regarding the impact <strong>of</strong>boathouses on the shorelines and the need to better regulate these accessory structures.Section 3.9 <strong>of</strong> the Zoning By-law provides new regulations regarding boathouses, which areintended to limit the size and potential impacts <strong>of</strong> boathouses. The regulations address suchmatters as boathouse building height, the maximum boathouse width which is also related to thewidth <strong>of</strong> the water frontage, and boathouse building length. Furthermore, the accessory buildingsetback requirements (S. 4.2) and lot coverage requirements (S. 3.3) would apply to regulatethe location and size <strong>of</strong> boathouses. New provisions have also been added (S. 3.9 d), to limitthe impact <strong>of</strong> boathouses on smaller lots, and views from adjacent properties, by relating therequired side yard setback to the length that the boathouse extends into the lake together withthe ’45 degree’ concept by increasing the required minimum side yard setback based on theextent <strong>of</strong> the boathouse projection into the lake.Sleeping accommodations are no longer permitted within a boathouse, in accordance withProvincial and Conservation Authority regulations which seek to prohibit such accommodationswithin the regulatory flood limits. Furthermore, it is recognized that the construction <strong>of</strong> a newboathouse or modifications to an existing boathouse would require permit approvals by theConservation Authority and the <strong>Town</strong>.g) Garage Widths & Front Yard AmenityThe Zoning By-law introduces new requirements to limit the widths <strong>of</strong> attached garages inrelation to the lot size (S. 3.16.3). The intent <strong>of</strong> these provisions are to limit the width <strong>of</strong> thegarage to provide a more attractive streetscape and building face which is not dominated bygarages and driveways, consistent with the intent <strong>of</strong> the policies <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan.The garage width requirements generally accommodate a single car garage on lots less than10m, a one and a half car garage on lots greater than 10m and less than 12m, and a double cargarage on lots greater than 12m and less than 15m. On lots greater than 15m, no more than50% <strong>of</strong> the house width is to be occupied by a garage. The proposed standards are typical <strong>of</strong>new zoning by-law regulations in other jurisdictions, and are similar, yet less restrictive thanthose currently being implemented through recent design guidelines in the <strong>Town</strong> (i.e. <strong>Innisfil</strong>Beach Road and Lefroy Urban Design Guidelines). Furthermore, similar garage requirementshave already been implemented in the <strong>Town</strong> through site-specific zoning by-law amendments.The amenity <strong>of</strong> front yards and their appearance for the purposes <strong>of</strong> maintaining neighbourhoodcharacter and compatibility with neighbours has also been considered through the inclusion <strong>of</strong>provisions that specify minimum landscaped areas for front yards together with setbacks fordriveway and parking areas within a residential zone. A combination <strong>of</strong> smaller lots and greaternumber <strong>of</strong> cars has created situations whereby parked vehicles dominate the front yard andcreate land use conflicts with residential neighbours.h) Contemporary Zone StandardsThe Zoning By-law includes revised performance standards which provide for more compactresidential development in accordance with Provincial policy and the <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan.


Staff Report DSR-118-13 July 10, 2013Comprehensive Zoning By-Law UpdatePublic Meeting and Open House Page 7 <strong>of</strong> 10These standards primarily relate to the urban residential zone categories (R2, R3, RT and RA),and include reduced minimum lot area requirements and yard setbacks. Notwithstanding, therequired minimum rear yard has been increased from the existing 6.0m to 7.5m to provide forgreater rear-yard outdoor amenity space. A new R1A zone has been established whichprovides reduced yard requirements for 15m single-detached lots; however, this zone has notbeen applied at this time, as it is anticipated that the <strong>Town</strong> will apply this new zone standard tonewly developing areas in the <strong>Town</strong> through future zoning by-law amendments. The new zonestandards are typical <strong>of</strong> more contemporary standards and are consistent with the <strong>Town</strong>’srecent urban design guidelines and recent site-specific exceptions to the Zoning By-law.i) Hazard Lands, Natural Environmental Area and Environmental Protection ZoneThe Zoning By-law mapping has been updated to better reflect the natural heritage mapping inthe <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan. A new Natural Environmental Area overlay (S. 3.19) is proposed to beadded to the zone schedules which reflects the Natural Environmental Area designation in the<strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan. These lands include natural features that are considered to be significantat a Provincial, regional or local level, and have been generally identified based on the bestavailable mapping. The Official Plan requires that development and site alteration within theseareas shall not be permitted unless it is demonstrated through the completion <strong>of</strong> anenvironmental analysis, such as an Environmental Impact Study (EIS), and to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Town</strong> and applicable Conservation Authority, that there will be no negative impacts on thenatural features or on their functions. The boundaries <strong>of</strong> such areas are to be confirmed andrefined through a review <strong>of</strong> any site specific development application through an EIS, whichwould confirm the limits <strong>of</strong> development through staking <strong>of</strong> the features. This NaturalEnvironmental Area overlay, is intended to provide a flag to the user, that further environmentalstudy may be required to support development; however, the underlying zone category ismaintained (e.g., R1 and AG). In the absence <strong>of</strong> such a detailed environmental review it isproposed that the existing zone categories be carried forward, recognizing that a site-specificdevelopment application would trigger the need for an EIS to evaluate the limits <strong>of</strong> development.The proposed Zoning By-law also identifies the regulated areas <strong>of</strong> the Conservation Authorities,which includes areas susceptible to flooding hazards, and approval from the applicableConservation Authority would be required prior to the construction <strong>of</strong> new buildings orstructures, and site alteration.The Zoning By-law Mapping has also been updated to zone Provincially Significant Wetlands(PSW’s) as currently identified in the <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan as an Environmental Protection Zone.It is recognized that development and site alteration is not permitted within these areas, inaccordance with Provincial policy.j) Waste Disposal Assessment AreasIn accordance with existing and draft County <strong>of</strong> Simcoe policies and the <strong>Town</strong>’s Official Plan,the Zoning By-law Mapping identifies former waste disposal sites and their associated 500metre radius Waste Disposal Assessment Areas (WDAA). The regulations <strong>of</strong> Section 3.47apply with respect to development within the Waste Disposal Assessment Area. Landsidentified within the 500 metre WDAA radius will require a D-4 study for the purposes <strong>of</strong> new orexpanded residential development. Consultation with the County and a commitment from <strong>Town</strong>staff to better identify and ‘delist’ former waste disposal sites in <strong>Innisfil</strong>, resulted in not having toapply a Holding provision to properties within the 500 m WDAA. This County position negates


Staff Report DSR-118-13 July 10, 2013Comprehensive Zoning By-Law UpdatePublic Meeting and Open House Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 10the need for a holding provision to be applied and then removed for the purposes <strong>of</strong> a buildingpermit on the condition that lands within the 500m WDAA still require a D-4 study or acceptablealternative.Over the last 6 month staff have made Freedom <strong>of</strong> Information (FOI) requests to the Province inan effort to learn <strong>of</strong> former waste disposal sites in the <strong>Town</strong> and where possible ‘delist’ themfrom the County OP in order that D-4 studies are no longer required. The <strong>Town</strong> has beensuccessful in partnering with 2 developers in Cookstown to undertake a D-4 study that willremove the need for future individual D-4 studies by village residents. Another former landfillsite that no longer has a D-4 requirement for adjacent properties is located on the 20 th Sideroadjust north <strong>of</strong> Lockhart Road. The FOI requests to the Province revealed that a study supportingthe site for delisting was already undertaken.Another former landfill site known as the <strong>Town</strong>’s former stump dump near Big Bay Point hasalso been excluded from D-4 requirements on the basis <strong>of</strong> environmental testing having alreadybeen completed and the site being in the process <strong>of</strong> being ‘delisted’.<strong>Town</strong> staff will examine other former landfill sites in order that they be delisted or D-4 studiesrelaxed where appropriate and reduce the study requirements for future planning and buildingapplications.k) Temporary StructuresA concern that emerged from the public consultations was the impact <strong>of</strong> temporary structuresand events within the <strong>Town</strong> and the desire for more regulation to mitigate the nuisancespotentially associated with these uses. New general regulations have been included in theZoning By-law to generally limit the size and duration <strong>of</strong> temporary structures (S. 3.42). Newgeneral regulations have also been included in the Zoning By-law to limit the duration <strong>of</strong>temporary sales events, depending on the type <strong>of</strong> event and within which zone it occurs.l) AgricultureThe Zoning By-law has been revised to clarify the types <strong>of</strong> uses that should be permitted withinthe agricultural and rural areas, such as those uses which are agricultural, as well as secondaryagricultural uses, under the direction <strong>of</strong> the Official Plan. The intent <strong>of</strong> the Official Plan policiesis to ensure that <strong>Innisfil</strong>’s agricultural areas are used primarily for farming and requiredsupportive accessory uses which are normal for farming operations. It is also intended thatlarger scale processing facilities be located in settlement areas or the rural area.The Zoning By-law has been revised to remove certain uses, such as veterinary clinics, gardencentres, kennels and other similar uses which are considered non-farm uses and should not bepermitted as-<strong>of</strong>-right within the Agricultural General (AG) Zone. New definitions for agriculturaluses and secondary agricultural uses have been provided in the Zoning By-law to assist inclarifying appropriate permitted uses in the Agricultural (AG), Agricultural Specialty Crop (ASC),and Agricultural Rural (AR) Zones. Secondary agricultural uses are permitted in the AG, AR,and ASC zones, and are defined to include uses that produce value-added agricultural productsfrom the farm operation on the property and are clearly secondary to the principal agriculturaluse, such as: the cleaning storage and processing <strong>of</strong> crops and produce, including fruits,


Staff Report DSR-118-13 July 10, 2013Comprehensive Zoning By-Law UpdatePublic Meeting and Open House Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 10vegetables, nuts, seeds corn, wheat, flowers, plants, which are produced on the farm or thepurposes <strong>of</strong> retail sale or for further processing.An agricultural processing establishment is intended to include more industrial agriculturalprocessing uses, such as feed and grain mills and seed mills, and are permitted in the AR Zone.However, a property owner who wishes to construct an agricultural processing establishmentwithin the AG zone would require a site-specific zoning amendment. Through the amendmentprocess, the impacts and appropriateness <strong>of</strong> the agricultural processing establishment usewould be considered, and the public will be consulted through a planning process.m) Refreshment TrailersThe regulation <strong>of</strong> refreshment trailers was identified as an issue during the public consultations.Clarification has been provided in the Zoning By-law to specifically define these uses and permitthem on a temporary basis within all zones in association with a special event or occasion. It isrecommended that the <strong>Town</strong> regulate refreshment trailers through a permit process to ensurepotential land use impacts are minimized, as is typical in other municipalities.n) Secondary SuitesThe Strong Communities Through Affordable Housing Act (Bill 140) requires that municipalitiesprovide permission for the uses <strong>of</strong> secondary suites in various unit types through permissiveOfficial Plan policies. Currently the Official Plan permits accessory dwelling units in singledetached and semi-detached dwellings on lands not serviced by a municipal sanitary sewer,and within single-detached dwellings in serviced areas.<strong>Town</strong> staff have prepared background research regarding second suites and expect publicconsultation to occur in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2013. It is anticipated that the Official Plan and Zoning By-lawwill need to be revised to permit secondary dwellings in (or ancillary to) single detacheddwellings, semi-detached dwellings, and rowhouses and will establish conditions for permittingsecond dwellings, such as parking, minimum lot size and servicing requirements, based onfurther public consultation.o) Site-Specific ExceptionsThe existing zone exceptions have been generally carried forward in the Comprehensive ZoningBy-law, where required. However, the exception numbering may have been revised to reflectthe new zone categories and provide a sequential numbering <strong>of</strong> the exceptions.p) MappingUpdated and colour mapping has been prepared as part <strong>of</strong> the Study, with the intent to makethe maps easier to interpret and read. This has resulted in fewer map schedules and thereorganization <strong>of</strong> the Key Map.OPTIONS & ALTERNATIVES<strong>Council</strong> has the option <strong>of</strong> requesting Staff to do the following:1. Request revisions be made to the final Draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law.

If approved,the Zoning By-law provides a more consistent and comprehensive zoning framework for the<strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>, in a manner which is easier to understand and easier for the <strong>Town</strong> toimplement. Planning staff are under no illusions that the new zoning by-law will capture andcorrect all situations in the <strong>Town</strong>; however, the continued efforts <strong>of</strong> responding to publiccomments has made for a better comprehensive zoning by-law.PREPARED BY:Tim Cane with the assistance <strong>of</strong> the MMM Group.REVIEWED BY:Tim Cane, M.E.S., RPPManager <strong>of</strong> Land Use PlanningREVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION BY:Don Eastwood,Director <strong>of</strong> DevelopmentAttachments:1.

Asoutlined in the 2012 report by Watson and Associates, in partnership with PKF Consulting Inc.,entitled “Economic Impact <strong>of</strong> Tourism Visitation to <strong>Innisfil</strong> and the Influence <strong>of</strong> Lake Simcoe,”even with limited commercial access to Lake Simcoe, the economic impact <strong>of</strong> tourism visitationand the influence <strong>of</strong> Lake Simcoe has been significant. Some highlights from the report indicate: The tourism and recreational cluster represents an important component <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>’seconomic base, representing 30% <strong>of</strong> total businesses; One in four businesses associated with the tourism and recreation cluster are located onLake Simcoe or directly associated with lake-based tourism; <strong>Innisfil</strong> has an established seasonal housing base which has shown strong growth overthe past decade; and In 2011, it was estimated that the 651,600 tourists who visited <strong>Innisfil</strong> in 2011 generatedapproximately $43-million in expenditures.To further support tourism efforts, while enhancing the quality <strong>of</strong> life for residents, key objectives<strong>of</strong> Inspiring <strong>Innisfil</strong> 2020, <strong>Council</strong> authorized staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for theestablishment <strong>of</strong> a Public-Private Partnership Pilot initiative.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The objective <strong>of</strong> the RFP was to encourage interest and stimulate new tourism businessdevelopment opportunities in <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Park over a two-year pilot period. The RFP wasstructured in such a way as to allow a broad range <strong>of</strong> submissions for proposed businessoperators. While the broad scope <strong>of</strong> the RFP was important, it did lead to confusion andnecessitated the RFP being modified and reissued to provide more clarity which delayed a…/

The main area requiring clarification related to the proposed financial returnto the <strong>Town</strong>. To help ensure clarity with the updated RFP, staff hosted an information sessionfor any interested proponents where issues or questions could be addressed. Subsequently,two qualified proponents have been identified proposing the following types <strong>of</strong> operations:Proponent 1: rentals <strong>of</strong> bicycles, kayaks and stand-up paddle boardsProponent 2: establishment <strong>of</strong> beach volleyball courts to operate beach volleyballleagues (as well as activities that could make use <strong>of</strong> the courts such as beach yoga).While negotiations are ongoing, staff are seeking additional time to conduct the pilot project.Both qualified proponents are proposing outdoor activities that would be conducted betweenMay and September. A project extension to the end <strong>of</strong> October 2015 would allow bothoperations to complete two full seasons <strong>of</strong> operation which is consistent with the originalproposal to <strong>Council</strong>.In addition, staff believe the proposal from ‘Proponent 2’ could provide benefits to visitors andresidents alike, and will also help to support the development <strong>of</strong> sports tourism in <strong>Innisfil</strong>.However the challenge with accommodating Proponent 2 at <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Park is therequirement to accomodate parking for the many patrons that could regularly use the courts.As a result, staff are recommending that a separate contract, outside <strong>of</strong> RFP #P-13-84, beawarded to this qualified proponent for the activity to take place on the <strong>Town</strong> Campus near the<strong>Innisfil</strong> Recreational Complex. The same principles and objectives <strong>of</strong> the initial pilot projectwould be maintained for this separate contract, with the only difference being an alternatelocation.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> could approve the recommendations as presented or modify the proposal.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:Other than some limited communications efforts and project management oversight by the<strong>Town</strong>, there are no direct costs associated with this proposal. All costs associated with theconduct <strong>of</strong> any business application are at the sole cost <strong>of</strong> the proponent.CONCLUSION:It is recommended that <strong>Council</strong> authorize staff to extend the date <strong>of</strong> the pilot to October 31,2015, and award a separate contract, following the same principals as the initial pilot, for‘Proponent 2’ to operate on the <strong>Town</strong> Campus near the <strong>Innisfil</strong> Recreational Complex.

STAFF REPORT NO:TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTDSR-126-13DATE: July 10, 2013TO:FROM:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>Don Eastwood, Director <strong>of</strong> DevelopmentJason Reynar, Clerk and Director <strong>of</strong> Legal ServicesSUBJECT:Special Event Application Guide UpdateRECOMMENDATION:That <strong>Council</strong> receive report DSR-126-13 which outlines a new Special Event ApplicationGuide and process; andThat staff be directed to further consult community stakeholders on the proposedSpecial Event Application Guide; andThat staff report back to <strong>Council</strong> during the August 14, 2013, <strong>Council</strong> Meeting for finalapproval and implementation.BACKGROUND:In February <strong>of</strong> this year, staff brought forward a draft Special Event Planning and Policy Guide(DSR-031-13). The current By-Law (By-Law No. 33-93) relating to special events requires any‘public entertainment’, including parades and festivals, to obtain a license, however, it has beenidentified that there is some variation in the way permits are issued for events which haveresulted in some events taking place without sufficient regard for health and safetyrequirements, permits or insurance.In an effort to update the current By-Law and improve and standardize <strong>Town</strong> approvalprocesses and customer service, an Ad Hoc Committee <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> staff (referred to as the“Community Events Team”) has been working to develop a streamlined system to better serveevent organizers and help ensure the health and safety <strong>of</strong> everyone. The introduction <strong>of</strong> a newprocess is expected to: Improve efficiency and reduce duplication for each Department/Service Area; Provide awareness to all event organizers about the applications, permits anddocuments required to ensure the safety <strong>of</strong> the public during an event; Reduce the risk <strong>of</strong> event organizers receiving conflicting information; Improve overall customer service as all information is coordinated through one source; Clarify expectations and requirements; and Ensure policies and procedures are implemented on a more consistent basis.…/


Staff Report DSR-126-13 July 10, 2013Special Event Application Guide Update Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 4Following <strong>Council</strong> direction, staff consulted community stakeholders on the proposed SpecialEvent Planning and Policy Guide and Special Event Planning Form which were included in theearlier staff report (DSR-013-13). From February 7 to March 7, 2013, the community wasinvited to submit comments. An Open House was also hosted on February 21 st .Based on the high level <strong>of</strong> comments on the original drafts, staff committed to develop a reviseddraft and solicit input from those that expressed an interest. Individuals and organizations thatprovided comments or attended the Open House were invited to a series <strong>of</strong> three informaldiscussion groups with staff to review the revised draft document.ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The revised Special Event Application Guide (Appendix A) was developed as a result <strong>of</strong> thepublic feedback obtained. As <strong>of</strong> the date <strong>of</strong> submission <strong>of</strong> this staff report, the feedback on thisrevised document has been very positive. While not exhaustive, some <strong>of</strong> the recommendationsthat have been addressed in this new Guide include the following: Only require Special Event Permits for events that are deemed to be a higher risk tothe municipality. Additional details are outlined below under Risk Mitigation. Create two documents – one specific to obtaining a Special Event Permit; and one withsupplementary information that may or may not be applicable to event organizersdepending on the proposed activities. Remove timelines requiring applications for Special Event Permits 120-150 days inadvance as well as any late fees.Risk Mitigation to determine the need for a Special Event Permit:Based on comments, staff propose that a risk management approach be taken to determinewhich events should require a Special Event Permit. As a starting point, only events on <strong>Town</strong>property would be considered – private property would be exempt. <strong>Town</strong> property includesroadways, sidewalks, parks, public lands, land adjacent to community centres, road allowances,road ends, and all other property that is owned and maintained by the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong>. Oncedetermined that an event will take place on <strong>Town</strong> property, staff recommend that a SpecialEvent Permit be required for such an event if at least two <strong>of</strong> the following criteria apply to theproposed event: Alcohol will be served; The duration <strong>of</strong> the event is at least 6 hours; and / or Attendance levels are forecasted at 300 patrons or more.All Special Events meeting this criteria, including recurring events, would be required to submita Special Event Planning Form and follow the check list for each event occurrence.Proposed ProcessFeedback confirmed that the proposed process was seen as an improvement. Under theproposed process, when a special event/festival organizer wishes to host an event on <strong>Town</strong>property, the organizer will first complete the Special Event Planning Form (included inAppendix A) and submit it to Customer Service. The Special Event Planning Form will provideinformation such as the preferred date and location <strong>of</strong> the proposed event and a description <strong>of</strong>the activities that will take place.The form will then be shared with the Community Events Teams (CET) for review andcomments. The CET will be comprised <strong>of</strong> representatives from each department who will beresponsible to identify any permits, fees or other requirements that may be required from their


Staff Report DSR-126-13 July 10, 2013Special Event Application Guide Update Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 4respective department. Once all Departments have provided their input, a customized “CheckList” will be created for the event organizer. This document will outline any information, actionsand fees, along with associated timelines, that are required for consideration <strong>of</strong> a Special EventPermit; this will also help to secure the preferred location(s). The “Check List” will be based onthe submitted Special Event Planning Form and additional consultations with organizers (ifapplicable). The goal will be to have the Check List compiled within 10 business days <strong>of</strong> receipt<strong>of</strong> the Special Event Planning Form.Event organizers will be responsible to inform Customer Service if there are any changes totheir proposed event to ensure the “Check List” is updated. For example, if tent with a floorspace <strong>of</strong> over 60 square meters in size will be added, a building permit and associatedinspection will be required.Customer Service will be the primary contact for event organizers, so that all inquiries andinformation is provided through one source. The issuance <strong>of</strong> the Special Event Permit will bebased on the completion <strong>of</strong> the “Check List”.Existing Rules and Regulations remain:Even if an event, whether on private or public property, does not require a Special Event Permit,organizers are responsible to adhere to all municipal, provincial and federal laws andregulations. A few examples include: Roadways must remain passable at all times for emergency vehicles; Under the Ontario Building Code permits are required for a tent or tents with a combinedfloor space <strong>of</strong> over 60 square meters in size; Under the Fire Code, permits are required for open flames and/or fireworks; <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> noise and parking by-laws will be enforced at all times.Supplementary Guide for Special Events:Staff will also create and maintain a Special Event Supplementary Guide which will act as aresource for event organizers. It is envisioned that this Guide will contain information on manycommon issues relevant to event organizers such as information on some <strong>of</strong> the existing rulesand regulations noted above. This Guide would act as a resource document only.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> could approve the recommendations as presented or modify the proposal.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:The adoption <strong>of</strong> these new procedures will not require additional budget resources and areexpected to result in improvements to cost recovery.

TOWN OF INNISFIL STAFF REPORTSTAFF REPORT NO: DSR-120-13DATE:July 10, 2013TO:Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members<strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>FROM:<strong>Innisfil</strong> PublicLibrary BoardSUBJECT:Deemed Municipal Capital Facility – Library RelocationRECOMMENDATION:THAT <strong>Council</strong> deemthe facilitylocated at873 <strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road operated by the <strong>Innisfil</strong>Public Library Board as a Municipal Capital Facility as permitted under Section 110 <strong>of</strong> theMunicipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, Chapter 25 for the purpose <strong>of</strong> exempting itfrom propertytaxation; andTHAT By-law 076-13be adopted to give effect to the recommendation to authorize thedesignation <strong>of</strong> the property operated by the <strong>Innisfil</strong> Public Library Board as a MunicipalCapital Facility.BACKGROUND:Municipally owned and operatedfacilities used in the delivery <strong>of</strong> programs and services toresidentss and taxpayers are normally considered exempt for the purposes <strong>of</strong> levying taxes,unless the municipality leases land or spaceto a third party to conduct businesss or to inhabit theproperty.The Municipal Act does provide the ability for municipalities to deemproperty asbeing a“Municipal Capital Facility” for the purpose <strong>of</strong> exempting it from taxation in situations where theproperty is “entirely occupied andused or intended for use for a service or function that maybeprovided by a municipality” S.110(6) (c).ANALYSIS/CONSIDERATION:The expansion and renovation <strong>of</strong> the Lakeshore Branch <strong>of</strong> <strong>Innisfil</strong> Public Librarywill affect allareas <strong>of</strong> the existing building. Tomaintain a consistent level <strong>of</strong> operation and to improve thecontractor’s ability tocarry out the work on the site in an effective and efficient manner, theLibrary has entered into a lease agreement for the building located on the south-west corner <strong>of</strong><strong>Innisfil</strong> Beach Road and Inglewood Avenue, commonly referred to as “the old Shoppers DrugMart”. The term <strong>of</strong> the lease is from July 1, 2013 to January 31, 2015, with the option to renewon a month to monthbasis should the need arise.…/


Staff Report DSR-120-13 July 10, 2013Deemed Municipal Capital Facility – Library Relocation Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 2Section 110 <strong>of</strong> the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001 permits municipalities to enter intoagreements with any person for the provision <strong>of</strong> municipal capital facilities and in doing so canthen exempt the property from taxation. The <strong>Innisfil</strong> Public Library Board is a local board,appointed by the <strong>Town</strong>, which provides services on behalf <strong>of</strong> the municipality. As such, librariesdo not have any liability for property taxation.OPTIONS/ALTERNATIVES:<strong>Council</strong> could choose not to deem the property as a municipal capital facility. The result wouldbe that the Library would pay a substantially higher rent for the facility, the costs <strong>of</strong> which wouldbe charged against the Capital Budget for the expansion and renovation <strong>of</strong> the branch.<strong>Council</strong> could choose to pass a special by-law to exempt the property from the municipal portion<strong>of</strong> property taxes only with the property owner still responsible for the county and educationportion. This would result in higher leasing costs for the Board which would be charged againstthe Library’s Capital Budget for the expansion and renovation <strong>of</strong> the branch.FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION:By deeming the property as a municipal capital facility, it would be exempt from propertytaxation for the term <strong>of</strong> the lease (July 1, 2013 to January 31, 2015). Deeming this as amunicipal capital facility will save an estimated $41,000 in County & Education taxes based on2012 amounts billed that would otherwise be a cost to the owner that they would ultimately passalong to their tenant (the Library) in the form <strong>of</strong> additional lease costs. Over the term <strong>of</strong> thelease this is an estimated $58,000 additional lease costs that would otherwise be required.CONCLUSION:That consideration is given to deeming the described property as a municipal capital facility forthe purposes <strong>of</strong> exempting it (and the Library) from property taxation, for the term <strong>of</strong> the lease.PREPARED BY:Susan DownsAPPROVED BY:________________________Susan DownsChief Librarian/CEOAttachment: By-law 076-13Lease Agreement (to be provided)
