From: MOE CCU (ENE)<br />

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 />

Sincerely,<br />

Sharon Bailey,<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 />

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 />

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 />

would be permitted.<br />

Manager of Planning and Infrastructure Voigt also explained that as a follow-up to the<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 />

DATE: June 18, 2012<br />

SUBMITTED TO: Mayor and Members of Council<br />

SUBMITTED BY: Brian MacDonald, Manager,<br />

Engineering Services<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 />

29 of 40


There were two submissions in response to the RFQ and the results are summarized below:<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 />
