Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 4:26 PM<br />
Subject: Proposed Great Lakes Protection Act<br />
Good Afternoon:<br />
The Ministry of the Environment would like to take this opportunity to notify you of the proposed<br />
Great Lakes Protection Act.<br />
Today, Environment Minister Jim Bradley introduced the proposed Great Lakes Protection Act and it<br />
received first reading. If passed by the Legislature, the Act along with a Great Lakes Strategy<br />
(currently in draft) would form the cornerstone of a long-term effort that would see all Ontarians<br />
keeping the Great Lakes clean. The proposed Act would focus on involving Ontarians in taking<br />
action to protect the lakes so they are swimmable, drinkable, and fishable for generations to come.<br />
For information on the proposed Act and draft Strategy, please visit the Ministry of the Environment’s<br />
website at: ontario.ca/environment, and the Environmental Bill of Rights website at:<br />
http://www.ebr.gov.on.ca/ERS-WEB-External/ where you can search registry number 011-6461 for<br />
the proposed Act and registry number 011-6418 for the draft Strategy.<br />
The Ministry is committed to engaging with stakeholders and the public on this proposed Act and<br />
development of any related regulations and plans in the future, and on the draft Strategy. There are<br />
opportunities over the summer for comments and discussions.<br />
There will also be opportunities for input on the proposed Act throughout the legislative process.<br />
Please visit the Legislative Assembly of Ontario website at: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/home.do for<br />
further details.<br />
If you have any questions, please contact me at sharon.bailey@ontario.ca or 416-314-7020.<br />

Our Mission:<br />
“The GTRC is dedicated to fostering and promoting healthy living through the sport of running in the Georgian<br />
Triangle area; in particular, providing opportunities, education, initiatives, motivation, and community for runners of<br />
all ages and abilities.”<br />
Sandra Cooper<br />
Mayor, Town of Collingwood<br />
97 Hurontario St.,<br />
P.O. Box 157,<br />
Collingwood, Ontario<br />
L9Y 3Z5<br />
Dear Mayor Cooper,<br />
As I’m sure you are well aware, fitness and healthy living plays a large role in the lives of most people<br />
living within the Georgian Triangle; and the sport of running is enjoying a particular groundswell as<br />
much here, if not more, as in other communities across North America. Running however, can be<br />
individualistic in nature, which means you may often find many seasoned participants running in<br />
isolation while others although keen to get started, are not sure where to start. The Georgian<br />
Triangle Running Club is dedicated to drawing in these isolated groups of runners and future runners,<br />
and providing a comprehensive framework to help develop, foster, and grow the sport in our area,<br />
and build an engaged and healthy community.<br />
The initial goals of the GTRC are to establish:<br />
• A community of runners from all levels and ages to share stories, pictures, and rides,<br />
organize impromptu runs, find running partners, and organize social events<br />
• Scheduled Group Runs including Trail, Road, Competitive, Tri, Beginner, and Youth<br />
• Clinics and Seminars to educate on safety, injury prevention, training, nutrition, and<br />
competition<br />
• Local running events (either solely, or in a partnership)<br />
• Team representation at events outside the community<br />
• Fundraising to help support local, healthy living and sports promotion initiatives and<br />
programs<br />
...BUT….we can’t do it alone.<br />
I’m sending you this letter because we believe that the Town of Wasaga Beach shares the values and<br />
commitment to healthy living that we do, and your support would be integral to helping us grow this<br />
club to where it can provide the greatest benefit to the greatest numbers.<br />
8 of 40
By partnering with us, we can use our mutual resources to promote, organise, and nurture healthy<br />
lifestyles, engage our community, and draw in people from outside our community to experience<br />
what the Town of Collingwood has to offer. With your help, our common goals will be promoted not<br />
only across our 100+ membership but to all potential members, and the community at large through<br />
our different marketing channels. We have already built a large online community and will continue<br />
to expand this using our website and a variety of social media including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,<br />
Strava, Instagram, etc as well as working with local print and broadcast media to promote GTRC<br />
programs and events.<br />
We are would like to ask you to help us realize our goals by becoming a Municipal Partner of the<br />
Georgian Triangle Running Club by sponsoring us for $500.<br />
The Georgian Triangle offers both those living here and those visiting with as many incredible<br />
opportunities as it does beautiful vistas. We hope that you will see the benefit in partnering with the<br />
Georgian Triangle Running Club to help us help you promote what this area has to offer. Running is a<br />
sport that has few boundaries in regards to age, income, or inclination. With the beautiful trails and<br />
scenery in this area, and with your support, a running club in the Georgian Triangle is an obvious<br />
fit….and something that we hope, by partnering with you, to shout from the mountaintops!<br />
Thank you for your consideration, please call me to discuss all of our partnership opportunities.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Andrea Russell<br />

CARRIED<br />
DEPUTATIONS<br />
Labyrinth – the Chair introduced Mr. George Christie of the Trails Committee and<br />
requested that he explains the proposed labyrinth which is to be located at the Arboretum.<br />
Mr. Christie described the labyrinth and explained that unlike a maze, it is to be a single,<br />
non-branching path that is easy to navigate. Mr. Christie sought clarification and input<br />
as to what design features should be considered in order to make the labyrinths fully<br />
accessible. The Committee explained that as volunteer group, they did not have the<br />
requisite expertise and recommended that Mr. Christie speaks with Member Sholtz and<br />
with a representative of the Canadian Institute for the Blind (CNIB) who would provide the<br />
necessary information. The Committee also suggested that the Trails Committee<br />
considers incorporating tactile and other sensory features in the proposed design. The<br />
Greenspace Manager also noted the Committee’s comments and will ensure that they are<br />
taken into consideration. The Committee also suggested that once the design and plans<br />

Use of mobility devices – the Chair introduced Greenspace Manager Martin and Manager<br />
of Planning and Infrastructure Voigt and explained that the Committee invited them to<br />
speak regarding the use of mobility devices on the Trails Networks and Town’s sidewalks.<br />
Greenspace Manager Martin confirmed that By-law 2005 – 35 which is based on the<br />
Ministry of Transportation (MTO) regulations, stipulates that only Personal Mobility Devices<br />
such as Motorized Wheelchairs and Medical Scooters are permitted on the Trails<br />
Network and on the Town’s sidewalks. E-bicycles are not permitted.<br />
Manager of Planning and Infrastructure Voigt explained that staff is in the process of<br />
reviewing the Town’s Sidewalk By-law 1994-41 to clarify on which sidewalks bicycles<br />
would be permitted.<br />
Manager of Planning and Infrastructure Voigt also explained that as a follow-up to the<br />
November 2011 Active Transportation Workshop, the Town allied with regional partners in<br />
hosting Mr. Dan Burden, active transportation expert, who provided insight and expertise<br />
on specific implementation projects.<br />
Trails Etiquette campaign – Greenspace Manager Martin circulated a copy of the recently<br />
developed Trails Etiquette rack card and sought the Committee’s input. The Committee<br />
commented favourably on the content and design and suggested that once complete, that<br />

devices and recreational vehicles.<br />

approved renovations of the washrooms at Sunset Point, the washrooms within the<br />
canteen building have been made fully accessible. The washrooms near the westerly<br />

them from the meeting at 2:40 p.m.<br />

DEPUTATION<br />
Kayla Jonas, Heritage Planner - Heritage Resources Centre, University of Waterloo<br />
addressed the Committee with respect to Phase II of the Heritage Conservation District<br />
Study. The Chair introduced everyone to Ms. Jonas and requested that she explains the<br />
details of the study.<br />
Ms. Jonas briefly reviewed Phase 1 of the study which was completed in 2008/09 at which<br />
time 32 Heritage Conservation Districts, established prior to 1992 were analyzed. Ms.<br />
Jonas briefly described the scope of the analysis which included site visits to 31 of those<br />
districts.<br />
Ms. Jonas described Phase 2 of the study – which looks at districts established after 1992<br />
and noted that on average, these districts are significantly larger. The questions remain as<br />
in the Phase 1 study; however, the size differential may determine whether larger districts<br />
are easier or harder to manage. The surveys need to be completed by July 15 th so that<br />
she may complete her Report by August 31 st .<br />
Ms. Jonas described the ‘door to door’ survey procedure and noted that due to the<br />
substantial size of Collingwood’s Heritage Conservation District, she has divided the<br />
District into 4 sections for survey purposes and selected 50% of the properties, i.e. 120<br />
properties. As per the University of Waterloo safety procedure, volunteers are strongly<br />
encouraged to conduct the surveys in pairs and that the total time required per surveyor will<br />
require approximately 3 hours of canvassing. In order to be statistically relevant, a 30%<br />
response rate is required. In Phase 1 a 38% response rate was attained. The Committee<br />
and Ms. Jonas reviewed the instructions and questionnaire. Administrative Assistant de<br />
Ruiter explained that a number of property owners in the District own multiple properties.<br />
Staff will review the lists and flag properties which are owned by the same owner.<br />
The Committee agreed to request that Councillor Gardhouse informs Council that the study<br />
is being proposed and requests any comments and approval prior to commencing the<br />
study.<br />
The Committee thanked Ms. Jonas for presenting her presentation and excused her from<br />
the meeting at 9:55 a.m. Members will be provided their sections by May 29 th .<br />

REPORT #:<br />
FFP2012-01<br />
DATE: June 18, 2012<br />
SUBMITTED TO: Mayor and Members of Council<br />
SUBMITTED BY: Dave McNalty, Manager of Fleet,<br />
Facilities and Purchasing<br />
SUBJECT:<br />
Compact Utility Vehicle<br />
1. RECOMMENDATION:<br />
• That Council award the tender for the supply of one (1) new 2012 Jeep Compass to<br />
6910009 Canada Inc. (Vaughan Chrysler) for the purchase price of $21,518.00 plus<br />
applicable taxes.<br />
2. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:<br />
The Public Works department called for tenders for the supply of a new four wheel drive<br />
Compact Utility Vehicle for use by the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). This is a<br />
scheduled replacement for the 2002 Jeep Liberty currently used by the WPCP.<br />
Each of the local new car dealerships were invited to tender on the supply of the vehicle and<br />
the opportunity was posted on the Town’s website. There were five bids submitted in<br />
response to Tender No. PW2012-03.<br />
25 of 40
The bids were reviewed for completeness and the results of the tender are as follows:<br />
Vendor<br />
Purchase Price<br />
(before Taxes)<br />
Life Cycle Cost<br />
Life Cycle GHG<br />
Emissions<br />
(Tonnes)<br />
6910009 Canada Inc. $21,518.00 $32,328.80 20.0<br />
(Vaughan Chrysler)<br />
Vendor B $23,493.00 $34,303.80 20.0<br />
Vendor C $23,937.00 $35,075.40 20.6<br />
Vendor D $24,494.20 $35,414.20 20.2<br />
Vendor E $27,898.95 $37,945.35 18.5<br />
The 2012 Jeep Compass proposed by 6910009 Canada Inc. (Vaughan Chrysler) provides<br />
the lowest Purchase Price and Life Cycle Cost. The Life Cycle Cost and GHG emissions<br />
were calculated for each vehicle based on the NRCan fuel consumption ratings, 84,000 life<br />
cycle kilometres and a fuel cost of $1.30 per litre. None of the submissions for this tender<br />
offered a Hybrid vehicle.<br />
3. DISCUSSION:<br />
Reliability is an important factor for the WPCP vehicles as they may travel out of town on a<br />
daily basis to Creemore and/or Stayner, routinely in inclement weather. The existing vehicle<br />
to be displaced will be re-commissioned to another in-town service.<br />
Vaughan Chrysler is able to provide lower pricing on these vehicles as a result of the high<br />
volume of fleet vehicles that they deliver. Any service or warranty work will be sourced<br />
locally.<br />
4. DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW:<br />
This report was reviewed by Department Heads at the regular meeting on June 5, 2012 and<br />
no concerns were identified.<br />
5. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:<br />
The purchase of a new vehicle for use by the WPCP was included in the 2012 Capital<br />
Budget.<br />
26 of 40
6. DISPOSITION:<br />
When approved by Council, the WPCP Staff and the Fleet, Facilities and Purchasing<br />
Manager will secure the vehicle and ensure appropriate displacement of the existing vehicle.<br />
7. APPENDICES:<br />
None<br />

SUBJECT:<br />
Tree Trimming and Removal Service<br />
1. RECOMMENDATION:<br />
• That Council accept the Quotation of Davey Tree Expert Co. Of Canada Limited for Tree<br />
Trimming and Removal Service for the 2012 season at the rate of $138.50 per hour plus<br />
applicable taxes, not to exceed $35,000.00 before taxes.<br />
2. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:<br />
The Public Works department invited qualified contractors to provide Quotations on Tree<br />
Trimming and Removal Service for the 2012 season. A total of five (5) contractors were<br />
contacted and three (3) received the Request for Quotations (RFQ No. PW2012-04.)<br />
The RFQ required that contractors provide an inclusive hourly rate for a Boom Truck,<br />
Operator(s) and a Certified Arborist. The Arborist is to be on site for the duration of the work<br />
and will be required to provide written reports on a demand basis regarding individual and<br />
specific trees within the municipality. Submission of specifications of the contractors’<br />
equipment as well as personnel qualifications were a further requirement of the RFQ.<br />

Vendor<br />
Hourly Rate<br />
(before Taxes)<br />
Davey Tree Expert Co. $138.50<br />
Of Canada, Limited<br />
Vendor B $220.00<br />
Davey Tree Expert Co. Of Canada, Limited are fully qualified and experienced in municipal<br />
Tree Trimming and Removal Services. They have suitable equipment and qualified staff to<br />
meet the requirements of the Town of Collingwood. The $35,000.00 spending limit<br />
recommended by Staff provides for approximately six (6) weeks of service which includes a<br />
generous contingency based on the currently foreseen requirements.<br />
3. DISCUSSION:<br />
The Town of Collingwood Public Works department is responsible for the maintenance of<br />
trees that are located on the Town owned road right-of-way (between the curb and private<br />
property line). Each year, the department undertakes a tree trimming and removal program.<br />
The primary purpose of the program is tree health and public safety.<br />
A contingent of the Town of Collingwood Public Works Staff will be on site for the duration of<br />
the work and will be responsible for traffic control, material disposal and clean-up, and will<br />
act as the community liaison.<br />
A notice of our annual tree trimming program has been advertised in the paper earlier this<br />
year and a second notice will be placed in the paper just prior to initiating this work. In<br />
addition Staff will make every effort to contact the property owners fronting the work prior to<br />
removing the tree.<br />
4. DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW:<br />
This report was reviewed by Department Heads on June 5, 2012 and was recommended to<br />
proceed to Council.<br />
5. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:<br />

REPORT #: T2012-09<br />
DATE: June 18, 2012<br />
SUBMITTED TO: Mayor & Members of Council<br />
SUBMITTED BY: Marjory Leonard, Treasurer<br />
SUBJECT:<br />
Reserve Funds and Reserves<br />
1. RECOMMENDATION:<br />
THAT Council receive staff report T2012-09 for information.<br />
2. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:<br />
In accordance with the policy statements adopted by Council October 4, 2010 staff are to<br />
provide Council with an annual statement of Discretionary Reserve Funds. Staff have<br />
expanded this reporting requirement to incorporate Obligatory and Discretionary Reserve<br />
Funds and Reserves of the Town.<br />
The financial information provided in this report is derived from the internal accounting records<br />
of the corporation as at December 31, 2011. While the final results are still subject to audit<br />
adjustments, no major changes are anticipated.<br />
3. DISCUSSION:<br />
Reserves and Reserve Funds are critical components of any municipality’s long range financial<br />
planning. They provide:<br />
• A mechanism for tax and user rate stability by smoothing the effect of variable,<br />
unanticipated, or uncontrollable revenues, expenditures and events;<br />
• Funding for one time or short term requirements;<br />
• A key element in financial sustainability;<br />
• Funding for replacement or acquisition of capital assets;<br />
• The flexibility to manage debt; and<br />
• The flexibility to leverage Federal or Provincial funding for capital projects by providing<br />
the Town’s portion.<br />
In general, Reserves and Discretionary Reserve Funds are established by Council to promote<br />
long-term financial stability and assist with financial planning. They can be used for any<br />
32 of 40
purpose for which Council has the authority to spend such as to fund operations, future capital<br />
requirements, or smooth tax impacts.<br />
Obligatory or Statutory Reserve Funds such as the Building Stabilization Reserve Fund are<br />
created whenever a statute requires them to be. These reserve funds are referred to as<br />
obligatory, statutory or deferred revenues interchangeably. They can be used only for the<br />
expenditures they are being collected to fund.<br />
Statutory Reserve Funds:<br />
The Town has the following Statutory Reserve Funds:<br />
• Parkland Levy Section 51.1 of the Planning Act ($44,393). The Planning Act indicates<br />
that funds provided for park or other public recreational purposes are to be spent only for<br />
such purposes which not only includes land acquisition but also the erection or repair of<br />
buildings and the acquisition of machinery.<br />
• Provincial Gas Tax Funds directed to Public Transit capital or operating. These funds<br />
are applied in the year in which they are received and therefore, we do not carry a year<br />
end balance.<br />
• Ontario Bus Replacement Funds ($18,442) directed to bus replacement. This program<br />
was eliminated in 2010 and any remaining funds are to be used for capital purposes and<br />
will be applied to the 2012 bus purchase.<br />
• Federal Gas Tax Funds ($1,086,256). Municipalities can apply this funding to<br />
infrastructure projects that promote cleaner water, cleaner air, or reduced greenhouse<br />
gas emissions and help address a massive, province-wide infrastructure deficit. We will<br />
apply these funds to the bus purchases in 2012.<br />
• Building Stabilization Funds ($232,181) covered under the Building Code and<br />
specifically established as a component of full cost recovery for Building Departments.<br />
Discretionary Reserve Funds:<br />
• Hwy 26 Sewer Line ($100,973). These funds were received from a developer in the<br />
early 1990’s to be held for future extension of sewers on Hwy 26 West.<br />
• Land Acquisition Reserve Fund ($455,975) to provide a source of financing for the Town<br />
to acquire land and/or land and buildings that are strategic in nature, non-growth related<br />
and not environmentally sensitive.<br />
• Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund ($2,078,217) to provide property tax rate stability<br />
by smoothing the effect of variable or unforeseen expenditures or revenues and to<br />
provide funding for one time or short term requirements.<br />
• 10% Non DC Growth Reserve Fund ($346,190) to provide funding for the 10%<br />
mandatory deduction and those growth related items not eligible for Development<br />
Charge funding.<br />
• Lifecycle Replacement Reserve Fund ($1,038,569) which provides funding for<br />
expenditures related to the replacement or rehabilitation of existing capital infrastructure<br />
33 of 40
in their entirety or on a component basis including but not limited to roads, sidewalks and<br />
related infrastructure and facilities.<br />
• Parks and Recreation Land, Culture and Greening Reserve Funds ($69,167) originated<br />
from lot levy legislation (pre Development Charge legislation).<br />
Reserves:<br />
Reserves, as shown, include all of the funds held by the Town whether or not Council has<br />
control over the funds. The Reserves are maintained in the Financial Information Report (FIR)<br />
reporting format. We show total Reserves of $20,212,384 at December 31, 2011 however,<br />
there are some restrictions on the use of these funds as noted below:<br />
• Working Funds Capital Contingency ($592,783), WSIB ($283,745) and Post<br />
Employment Benefits ($1,019,177) have been set aside to cover known liabilities or to<br />
mitigate any potential risk exposure the Town may have.<br />
• Note Receivable ($1,710,169) shown under General Government is the promissory note<br />
receivable from Collus Power Corporation.<br />
• Parking Reserve ($122,635) has been established as part of the full cost model for<br />
parking. These funds are used for upkeep of the meters, lots and future parking needs.<br />
• Environmental Services Reserves ($12,737,204) are funds set aside as part of our full<br />
cost recovery model to meet future expenditures.<br />
• Library Reserves ($58,908) are held in trust for the Library Board.<br />
• BIA Reserve ($81,492) is held in trust for the BIA.<br />
• Lighthouse Restoration Funds ($9,471) are held in trust. This fund was created by a<br />
member of the public soliciting donations for the purpose of restoring the lighthouse. A<br />
large portion of the funds were derived through memorial donations. This type of fund is<br />
no longer being established by the Town.<br />
After removing these committed amounts we are left with $3,596,800 in Reserves.<br />
There is one additional item that Council should note:<br />
• The balance of $3,596,800 includes the $1,500,000 amount ‘set aside’ for the YMCA in<br />
whatever form our commitment/partnership takes which effectively reduces the available<br />
Reserves to $2,096,800.<br />
4. DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW:<br />
This report was reviewed by Department Heads June 12, 2012 and recommended to proceed<br />
to Council.<br />
5. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:<br />
34 of 40
The report is for informational purposes only and there is no effect on Town finances.<br />
6. DISPOSITION:<br />
Staff will post a copy of the Reserve and Reserve Fund statement on the web site.<br />
