Duncan McGregor Potential One-Way - Elizabeth Street WHEREAS the number of available parking spaces in the village of Sharbot Lake is a known issue AND THAT the south intersection of Road 38 and Elizabeth Street has been identified as a potentially hazardous intersection AND THAT traffic movement through Elizabeth Street is often congested and difficult due to two-way traffic THAT Council direct staff to bring a report to the October 28th Council meeting outlining potential benefits/concerns with changing Elizabeth Street to a One-Way Street Moved by: Duncan McGregor Seconded by: Lynne Klages Defeated Councillor McGregor clarified that he is not requesting Elizabeth Street be made one-way, but raised concerns regarding parking and a hazardous intersection at the south end of the street. He noted that a one-way configuration could provide benefits such as improved streetscaping and pedestrian safety. He emphasized that this is not a proposed solution but a conversation starter. Councillor Klages expressed interest in receiving a staff report outlining both the positives and negatives to help Council make a balanced decision.
Page 20 of 187
Councillor Irwin, Mayor Smith, and Councillor McGregor each raised concerns, both personally and on behalf of residents, regarding the possibility of converting Elizabeth Street to a one-way street. Councillor Gowdy asked Cathy MacMunn, CAO/Clerk, whether the studies completed for the Elizabeth Street project 10–12 years ago had considered these issues. Cathy MacMunn responded that she did not recall any such considerations by the Public Works Manager at that time. Councillor McGregor noted that he would not support the project if it posed a financial burden on the municipality. He emphasized the importance of public feedback and shared that he had posted information on social media and visited nearly all residents on Elizabeth Street.

• Engineering, operations, EPC / major equipment procurement, construction management • Financing, Power Purchase Agreement negotiations, financial modelling, bid prep
• Over 150 years of development experience
Page 26 of 187
• Ontario, US and International • Gas generation/ HV transmission/ large hydro/ coal/ cogeneration/ wind/ solar/ ethanol plants • Key players in the development of many of Ontario’s major gas generation plants (4,000 Megawatts) • Key players in over 8,000 Megawatts of generation developed 2
The Project • Ontario is procuring capacity in their Long Term 2 RFP Capacity Stream in 2025 and subsequent years, with an initial call for 600 Megawatts due in December 2025 and to be operational by 2030 with follow up tenders for 1,000 Megawatts • Originative Energy Solutions Partners (OESP) is a very successful group of energy developers and entrepreneurs with over 150 years of energy project creation experience • OESP has an environmentally conscious and expeditious energy solution “Green Peaker” utilizing conventional turbines but using bio-fuels rather than natural gas or oil for the long-term capacity requirements and a strategy that can accelerate deployment of capacity • By utilizing this technology in this way we are reducing emissions and supporting local employment both during construction and in the long term by creating several well-paid jobs in the area Page 27 of 187
• We have selected a brownfield site that is currently being used for a gravel operation rather than more pristine lands in the area 3
Our Ask • We are here today to ask for a Municipal Support Resolution (MSR) as required by the IESO as part of the bid process • By issuing a MSR this does not change our obligations to work with the county to obtain all required permits and zoning as well as all of the environmental permits as required by the Ministry of Environment • Of additional note, we also need to deliver a Pre-Engagement Confirmation Notice to the Municipality
Page 28 of 187

Benefits To The County • Tax base • Several million dollar in local work during construction • Long term employment at the site • Several contracts for delivery, landscaping, maintenance etc. going forward • We plan on entering into a support agreement with the county over and above the increased property taxes that this project will generate • This project will have a high aesthetic standard through a professional landscape plan developed in conjunction with the municipality Page 29 of 187

The Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society needs your help!
We are very excited that we have acquired a new display for Railway Heritage Park in Sharbot Lake. This is our newest project, and our most ambitious one in recent years. We are thrilled that the timing of this venture will coincide with the 150th anniversary of the village of Sharbot Lake and the completion of the K&P Railway causeway across the Narrows in 1876.
The society has managed to find and procure a vintage 1922, wooden-sided Canadian Pacific caboose. This caboose was originally built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company and has been partially restored by a group of dedicated volunteers in Barry’s Bay, Ontario. As well as being a showpiece on exhibit at Railway Heritage Park, it will create additional space to house historical displays and artifacts.
Each year, the park and our displays are visited by local people and tourists from around the world alike. Since our park is on the trail network, it is a popular stopping point for cyclists, hikers, ATVers and snowmobilers. A recent assessment of the most popular attractions in our community put our Railway Heritage Park in second place, only surpassed by the beautiful Sharbot Lake Beach. The Railway Heritage Society is not only committed to respecting and preserving our community’s railway history; we want to keep improving the park, attracting new visitors and ensuring that our village puts its best foot forward for the people who live and work here and the people who visit us and support our community economically. That’s why we need your help!
Page 44 of 187
Getting the caboose here from Barry’s Bay will be the biggest expense of the project. We do not have adequate funds to cover the transportation costs. While we will pursue grants to defray the moving costs and any refurbishing needed on the interior, we still need to raise local funds. If you are a regular contributor to our Society, please consider making a special contribution to this project. If you haven’t contributed before, please consider a financial contribution to help make this goal a reality!
If you are a local business, please consider supporting this project which will enhance tourism potential in our community. If you are a part of a local service club, you know the value of community building and we hope your organization might be able to make a financial contribution.
We will acknowledge those who make significant contributions. Once the inside of the caboose is finished and ready to open (Summer or Fall, 2026), we will publicly display a list of those whose generosity helped us hit our goal. Our society is a government authorized, non-for-profit organization; we are able to provide a tax-deductible receipt to individuals or businesses that are willing to donate to this project

THAT the minutes of the May 24th, 2025, Open House be approved as presented. CARRIED 5.
Business a) Sharbot Lake Site Update
Phillip reported that there is no update on the grant at this time. Louise inquired if there is a timeframe or deadline for the grant. Phillip was unsure but will provide an update when more information becomes available. Louise noted that no further progress can be made on the environmental review until funding is received. Louise mentioned that library patrons have been asking whether the library will be included in the new space. The location is seen as desirable due to its walkable distance for community members. b) Open House Review Phillip noted that there were continued concerns about the type of housing being proposed, particularly the absence of support services for individuals who may move in. Susan commented that it was informative to learn about the need for support services, especially for those without access to a car. Louise added that since COVID-19, many services are now willing to come directly to people’s homes, which has improved access for some residents. Susan shared feedback that a complaint about the current youth hub/group is that it lacks enough programming for boys and appears to be too female-focused. Peggy mentioned that a community member had shared several creative ideas for how the space could be used. Peggy also mentioned a public concern regarding salt usage during winter maintenance, noting potential environmental impacts from snow and ice clearing.

Page 47 of 187
c) Report to Council Phillip noted the need to report back to Council that the committee took a housing-focused approach, but community feedback suggests this is not currently desired. Susan observed that many rural communities face a divide, with some residents supporting growth and housing, while others are opposed. Louise emphasized the importance of creating a space for community dialogue.
Louise proposed that a central community center in Parham could serve multiple needs and revitalize community connection. Dan suggested that the site could also function as a seniors’ center, potentially offering a continuum of care from assisted living to 24/7 care, similar to the care home in Northbrook. He also mentioned that long waitlists for nearby care homes point to a need for more senior living options in the area. Louise referenced the concept of a NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Community), which allows residents to age in place with a long-term care facility nearby, minimizing the need to leave their community. Susan suggested exploring a community centre model with housing attached, offering both shared space and residential options. Lousie noted that some small communities, such as Arden and Tichborne, were once vibrant hubs but have lost services over the past 40–70 years.
Peggy asked if there are other suitable locations in the Parham area for housing development. Phillip replied that none of the township-owned properties are currently suitable or usable for housing. Louise asked whether the old township office could be converted into housing. Peggy noted it would likely be lower density if used for that purpose. Dan suggested it may be more practical to focus on the Sharbot Lake site instead. Phillip emphasized the idea of partnering with housing organizations by offering land at a reduced rate to support development. He added that many organizations are eager to build housing but lack available land. Housing Committee Meeting June 23rd, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Station #3 Fire Hall, Wagarville Road, Sharbot Lake, ON
Page 48 of 187
He suggested considering smaller parcels of land for duplexes, which could be more achievable. Louise referenced a housing system on Wolfe Island that had been previously reviewed and could offer inspiration. She stressed that shared spaces are essential for building community. Louise also recommended researching reclaimed buildings being used as housing and reviewing stats to see if the number of housing units has increased.
Susan suggested the committee needs to bring community feedback back to Council to determine next steps for the space. Phillip proposed rewording some of the open house notes to better reflect community input and bringing those to Council. He also suggested working with Jody to draft a report for Council, which will be circulated to the committee for approval before submission. Phillip raised the idea of inviting the Chair of Habitat for Humanity to speak about funding mechanisms and current housing initiatives. He also proposed looking at housing statistics from nearby municipalities to get a clearer picture of housing models applicable to Central Frontenac, particularly while awaiting progress on the Sharbot Lake site. Louise noted that while many people want to live in the village, there is a need for smaller housing units with shared amenities.
New/Other Business None.
Next Meeting
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., to be held either at the Fire Hall or the Council Chambers—location to be confirmed.

Central Frontenac Economic Development Committee August 6, 2025 – 10:00 a.m. Sharbot Lake Fire Hall, Wagner Rd
Province apparently has a plan for 2026. The Sharbot Lake Country Inn/Crossing Pub has installed a new Open/Closed LED sign at the curb, which should make it easier to see when they’re open. There have been ongoing challenges with traffic sight lines and parking around the Cardinal Café; the Township has restricted street parking in front, which the owners are trying to have amended. The country music festival on July 26 was more successful than ever, attracting a bigger crowd and a younger demographic. The County’s July 22 business networking breakfast at Lehlewa was a great success, with business people from all over the county connecting with one another. b. Working Group Updates i.
Greening of Sharbot Lake // Enhance Visual Experience The heat wave has made plant watering a challenge and the baskets on the causeway have experienced some wilting. C. Butler observed that some other communities manage this successfully; maybe with a different approach, the baskets could look nice next year. D. McGregor wondered about adding extra watering by volunteers to the Township’s regular watering schedule. S. Irwin suggested that decorative banners could be another option, which she will discuss with Villages Beautiful. The remaining budget could cover some few fall displays. S. Irwin will contact Villages Beautiful to discuss.
ii. Staff Position/Partnerships The Township’s organizational review recommendations will be presented to Council in a closed session August 6, D. McGregor reported, and will be made public later. S. Carpenter noted that if and economic development position is recommended, some funding might be available from the Rural Ontario Development Program. Another alternative might be an accommodation tax, part of which could fund economic development, Duncan said. There was discussion about possible collaboration with North Frontenac. D. McGregor and C. Nelson plan to attend the Sept. 15 meeting of the NF Economic Development Task Force to explore further. iii. Lake and Trail Interface A small group of committee members and public works staff met with Richard Allen on July 22 at the Trailhead to review an EcDev plan to improve traffic flow. 2
Page 52 of 187
Central Frontenac Economic Development Committee August 6, 2025 – 10:00 a.m. Sharbot Lake Fire Hall, Wagner Rd
Several proposed alterations emerged from the site visit and were brought back to committee. However, a couple of important elements remain to be addressed. Another field visit will be scheduled to try to work them out. D. McGregor suggested that in the interim, the committee could approve the purchase of the concrete curbs that will be needed so that they can be deployed once the final configuration is decided. As well, he has offered to organize some volunteers to do some brush clearing at the Trailhead, with Public Works agreeing to remove the material. MOVED by D. McGregor, SECONDED by S. Carpenter: THAT the CF Economic Development Committee, via the Public Works Department, purchase a quantity of moveable concrete curbs to be installed in area of the Government Dock and Trailhead to improve traffic flow, for up to $4,000, not including HST. CARRIED iv. Signage C. Nelson reported that the gateway signs should be ready by August 13. v. Volunteers L. Klages told the committee about the upcoming Volunteer Appreciation event, and handed out invitations to each committee member. vi. Township Website C. Nelson did not yet have information on the timing or process for the Township website to migrate to the new platform. The County is also facing similar decisions. Chris will speak with CF Treasurer McGovern about how it will work. What is known is that maintenance (software updates, product releases) will no longer be available for the existing platform as of Dec. 30, and only bare bones support will exist after June, 2026. In the meantime, Chris has been doing clean-up the website. However, any major changes would require managers to assess the content relating to their own departments and make decision about adding, removing or revising. D. McGregor felt that website improvements are beyond the scope of the EcDev Committee. A better solution would be to create an ad hoc committee of Council 3
Page 53 of 187
Central Frontenac Economic Development Committee August 6, 2025 – 10:00 a.m. Sharbot Lake Fire Hall, Wagner Rd
to include Township staff to address the website. vii. Visitor Attraction L. Klages brought news from the Friends of Arden, a longstanding community volunteer group with dwindling numbers who are trying to ensure the continuation of their work. Lynn reported that the Rec Committee has the capacity to take on some of their functions, but a couple of vital tasks might need outside help: the large gateway sign at the entrance to Arden, which is a platform for local businesses to advertise, and a printed local businesses booklet, published every few years. At some point, the EcDev Committee might be asked to assist. c. Letter of Support S. Carpenter furnished a letter of support about exploring turning Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake into a one-way street, for D. McGregor’s proposed motion at Council. 6. NEW/OTHER BUSINESS a. Budget update. S. Carpenter provided an update on the financial standing of the EcDev Committee. There was a question about why $5,600 for community engagement software was being charged to EcDev, when the committee doesn’t use it at all. MOVED by D. McGregor, seconded by L. Klages: THAT the “Bang the Table” software charge be removed from the budget of the Central Frontenac Economic Development Committee, and that the Township consider withdrawing from the program entirely. CARRIED MOVED by L. Klages, SECONDED by S. Irwin: THAT the Touch Stay subscription used for the CF Vistors Guide be renewed for a one-year period. CARRIED b. Rural Ontario Development Fund – prospects. Deferred. c. Funders forum. S. Carpenter attended a forum in Kingston featuring several Ontario government departments – including OMAFA – with funding for capital 4

Central Frontenac Economic Development Committee August 6, 2025 – 10:00 a.m. Sharbot Lake Fire Hall, Wagner Rd
and human resources projects, at the business and community levels. A number of initiatives on EcDev’s radar could qualify. 7. NEXT MEETING Wed. September 3, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. 8. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 11:51 a.m.

5. Business
a) Presentation by Jim Knapp, President of the Frontenac ATV Club
Jim started by telling the committee that he and his group had travelled several times the full length of the Tay Havelock trail over the last few months {our portion) and he indicated that the trail is in very poor condition. He presented several photos of the trail, which are attached. There are several trees that need to be removed and some work on some of the bridges is also needed.
Jim also informed us that the Frontenac ATV club had grown from some 150 members to about 690 members now.
He told the committee that he had a strong member base that was most willing to do work on the trail and that they also had equipment available.
Jim said that the trail from Sharbot Lake to Maberly was particularly bad and that many trail rides avoid using it. He said there is an acute need for some bridge repair work on the bridges west of Sharbot Lake.
Gerald added to the discussion by informing the committee that the Township, the legal owner of the trail, required by law to have an OSIM bridge report every two years on the state of all its bridges. He suggested
that we should have an engineering firm carry this out and that the County uses Keystone Engineering that their bridges. For reference on the subject: OSIM Bridge Inspection Requirements
The Ontario Structure Inspection Manual fOSIM) outlines the requirements for bridge inspections, including the following key points:
Inspection Frequency: Bridges must be inspected every two calendar years by or under the direction of a professional engineer.
Jim also said that his Club could offer the following to our Committee and the Township 1.
His club has several trained trail wardens.
They have the ability to apply of grants.
They have a professional retired grant writer in their club.
They have a maintenance team.
They have access to equipment.
They have a professional arborist as a member and several certified chainsaw crewmembers.
Page 57 of 187
Jim also said that the agreement between the Township, the EOTA and the ATV club had expired. Fran asked if he would send a copy and we would look at getting it renewed.
Fran also agreed to set up a meeting with Cindy of the EOTA for Fran and Wayne to meet and discuss some of the maintenance issues on the trail.
Fran is going to try and set it up for the first week of October. Update on K & P work:
Gerald reported that the expropriations on the section at Snow Road were now complete and paid for. Before the transaction could be completed a landowner had torn out a bridge and that will need to be replaced but if all
goes well that section of the trail should be open for snowmobiles this winter.
Update on Bathroom Project
Wayne reported that the project had been approved by the Township of Central Frontenac and that construction is scheduled to begin September
20‘T The Committee has prepared a request to the County of Frontenac for the $100,000.00 set aside by the County for Trailhead and Infrastructure improvements for the trail. The request is for it to be in the 2026 County budget. General Discussion:
It is of great concern of the committee that the state of the 45 kms of trails
in the Township needs a different strategy than having an agreement with the EOTA to maintain the trail. It was suggested that a consortium of sorts needs to be establish made up of the Township, the County, the ATV Club, the Snowmobile Club and the EOTA that will work together to raise money and bring the trail up to an acceptable level and put in place a long term maintenance plan.
Gerald suggested that a meeting be pulled together of the various parties after Fran and Wayne meet with Cindy at the EOTA.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38. Sharbot Lake, Ontario REPORT NUMBER: DATE:
172-2025 September 23, 2025
FROM:
Cathy MacMunn, CAO/Clerk, Township of Central Frontenac
PREPARED BY:
Sonya Bolton, Manager of Community Planning, County of Frontenac
RE:
Final Report for the Review of Residential Severances in the Rural Area
RECOMMENDATION THAT the Council for the Township of Central Frontenac direct staff to prepare water supply standards to be used by applicants proposing to create a new lot on private services; and, THAT the draft water supply standards be presented to Council and the public for review and comment prior to being endorsed by Council; and, THAT Council also direct staff to begin the process of amending the Official Plan to propose allowing a third severance in the Rural Area; and, THAT the Official Plan Amendment process run concurrently with the development of the water supply standards. BACKGROUND Details about the background information related to this severance review, including links to previous staff reports, can be found in Attachment 1 to this report. DISCUSSION This severance review was conducted to determine whether it would be appropriate to amend the Official Plan to allow for a third severance (new lot) on properties in the Rural Area of the municipality. As part of this review, staff conducted a vacant land inventory for the Township and a policy review of the existing policies in the Township’s Official Plan. While the results of the vacant land inventory and policy review are discussed here, further details about both can be found in Attachment 1 to this report. There are 2,376 parcels of vacant land in the Township, but following the analysis through the vacant land inventory, 762 parcels, approximately one third of the total were
Page 71 of 187
removed, because they could not be developed or severed because of land ownership, zoning, or lack of road access. The inventory did not include screening for properties that could be partially excluded because of zoning or the presence of natural heritage features or hazards; however, given the number of parcels removed from the vacant land inventory, staff do not see the value of pursuing additional screening criteria work through GIS. The policies in the Official Plan regarding the consent process are clear and provide good direction on what is required of an applicant and what staff and the Committee of Adjustment need to consider as part of their review of an application. Based on the experience that planning staff have processing and reviewing consent applications for the Township, there are two Official Plan policies that are not being adequately implemented: •
Sufficient lot area for a building envelope for both the severed and retained parcels outside of any natural hazards or natural heritage features; and,
•
Confirmation of an adequate and appropriate supply of potable water for new lots.
Lot Area During a previous Council meeting regarding this issue of changing the number of severances, a question was raised as to whether the minimum required lot area for rural residential lots could be reduced. The current requirement for rural residential lots is a minimum area of 0.8 hectares (2 acres). Planning staff are not in support of changing this requirement. This requirement represents a current best practice, allowing enough land for a building envelope that includes space for a dwelling, a well that can be separated from other structures on the property in accordance with the Ontario Building Code, a septic tank and bed, and a location for a secondary septic bed to allow sufficient space for a future replacement of the system. Section 3.15.1.2 of the Official Plan requires the following: “The lot(s) to be severed and to be retained must meet the requirements of the Zoning By-law. The applicant will be required to demonstrate that there is a sufficient land area suitable for a building envelope on a proposed lot that is outside of natural or human-made hazards, outside of the required 30 metre setback from the water and all yard setbacks and influence areas required, and outside of an easement or any part of a private lane or rightof-way. In determining compliance with the zoning by-law, areas which are not useable on a lot may be excluded for the purposes of calculating the minimum required lot area or a required setback.” Where someone is proposing a new lot that does not meet the minimum requirement of the zoning by-law, they have the option of also applying for a minor variance for the proposed reduction in lot area. However, the onus is on the applicant to prove that the reduced lot size is appropriate, and they can provide a functional building envelope outside of all hazards and natural heritage features. In some applications, it has been
Page 72 of 187
necessary to require an applicant to provide a site survey showing the limits of this functional building envelope. In the April 8, 2025, report to Council, planning staff had illustrated that only 11 of the 163 new lots that had been created between 2020 and 2024 had been issued building permits for new dwellings. Several of the new lots created during this time included lots with very constrained building envelopes, and a number of these lots remain undeveloped at the time of writing this report. It is the recommendation of planning staff that the policy wording in Section 3.15.1.2. of the Official Plan that states “…areas which are not useable on a lot may be excluded…” be modified to read “areas which are not useable on a lot shall be excluded…” Reductions in overall lot area can still be considered on a property by property basis through the minor variance process, but strengthening the policy wording provides greater clarity for staff, property owners, and members of the Committee of Adjustment. Water Supply Section 3.15.5 of the Official Plan states the following: “An adequate quantity of potable water and sewage capacity shall be demonstrated to be available for each new lot. Applicants shall provide sufficient technical information to demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the applicable review agency.” There are similar policies to this in the County Official Plan and the Provincial Planning Statement, because the provision of appropriate water and wastewater services to a property is a cornerstone of safe development. Section 3.15.1.18 of the Official Plan also permits the Township to impose conditions related to the installation of water supply or sewage disposal systems, while Section 3.17.2 includes policies about individual onsite systems for water supply and sewage disposal and states the following: “Lands throughout the Township may be serviced by individual on-site sewage services and individual on-site water services. Individual on-site services are owned, operated and managed by the owner of the property upon which the system(s) are located. Planning applications for new development shall be supported with information satisfactory to addressing relevant parts of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change D-series Guidelines and the Ontario Water Resources Act. Where a lot or lots are serviced with individual on-site water and sewage services site conditions shall be suitable for the long-term provision of such services. This may require a hydrogeological and water supply assessment study designed to assess the potential risk to groundwater. Reference shall be made to Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Guidelines D-5-4 and D-5-5, Technical Guideline for Individual OnSite Sewage Systems: Water Quality Impact Risk Assessment, in
Page 73 of 187
undertaking the appropriate assessment. Approval of new lots may include sufficient off-site reserve sewage system capacity for hauled sewage and the lot shall be accessible by a sewage hauler.” The installation of septic systems for individual residential properties is governed by the provisions of the Ontario Building Code (OBC). The ability of a site to accommodate a septic system is something that is already considered as part of the lot creation process through consultation with staff in the Township’s Building Department. However, a review of an appropriate potable water supply is not something that is currently being done in the Township when new lots are proposed, as there are no standards in the OBC or adopted by the municipality. While septic systems are governed by the OBC, water supply systems are subject to different provincial guidelines, and reviewed by qualified professionals, such as a hydrogeologist, well driller, etc. To guide the review of water supply for new lot creation and/or additional residential units in rural areas, many municipalities have created water supply standards based on provincial guidelines that are endorsed by council and used by staff has part of the review of planning applications. A municipal water supply standard sets the minimum requirements to ensure that the community has access to water that is both safe to use and sufficient in volume. It addresses: •
Quantity – making sure there is a reliable and adequate supply of water to meet daily needs, support growth, and provide fire protection.
•
Quality – ensuring the water meets Ontario’s health and safety regulations for drinking water and other uses.
In short, the standard provides assurance that the proposed water system can consistently deliver enough water, at the right quality, to serve a property, without negatively impacting adjacent wells. Both the Township of South Frontenac and the City of Kingston have these standards, and the County is in the process of assisting the Township of North Frontenac in creating similar standards for additional residential units. Planning staff recommend that the Township develop and endorse a water supply standard to ensure that proposed new lots have an adequate supply of water. The work that the County has already undertaken for North Frontenac can be used as a starting point for the development of a standard for Central Frontenac and should not take very long to develop. It could be done concurrently with the public process for the proposed Official Plan Amendment to increase the number of severances in the Rural Area. Conclusion The outcome of the vacant land inventory and the existing policy framework in the Township Official Plan provides planning staff with a basis to support an amendment to
Page 74 of 187
the Official Plan permitting a third severance in Rural Areas, providing the following conditions are met: •
The date of June 2, 2008, in the Official Plan for the basis of number of lots created remains the same.
•
Greater attention is paid to the creation of lots with building envelopes that meet the minimum lot area requirements of the Zoning By-Law, and the calculation of lot area excludes lands that cannot be developed due to natural hazards or natural heritage features. This should be reflected in a change to the wording of Section 3.15.1.2 that should indicated that areas of land that are not buildable shall be excluded from the lot area calculation.
•
The Township adopt water supply standards for the creation of new residential lots to ensure that all lots can maintain an adequate supply of water without negatively impacting surrounding properties. These standards should be in place prior to any approval of the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) to increase the number of severances and can be developed concurrently with the OPA process.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The only costs to date have been associated with staff time. At the time of writing this report, County planning staff have spent approximately 58 hours on this project, which works out to approximately $7,540. The cost of that work will be billed to the Township in accordance with the service agreement between the Township and the County, along with any future costs associated with processing the actual Official Plan Amendment application. The number of hours noted above does not include hours worked on the project by GIS staff, which is billed under a separate agreement, the County student interns, or Township staff. The development of the water supply standards would be based on work already undertaken by County staff. Any additional costs to the Township would be minimal, such as the payment of costs for the County’s hydrogeologist on contract to review the draft document and having them appear before Township Council to answer questions.

- Background Information and Vacant Land Inventory
Page 75 of 187
Attachment 1: Background Information and Vacant Land Inventory Background Information At the October 10, 2023, Township Council meeting, the following resolution was passed: “That Council direct staff to prepare a report to amend the Official Plan to allow for an increase of lots to be severed from two to three or four or as many as allowed per the Planning Act.” On October 22, 2024, Planning staff presented a report to Township Council outlining the policy framework that severances are reviewed under and the next steps and staff hours/costs that would be associated with this review. A copy of that staff report is available at the following link: October 22, 2024 Council Report. On April 8, 2025, Planning staff presented an update report to Township Council outlining the results of the first phase of the review, showing the data regarding the number of vacant lots currently in the Township (2,376 in total), recent severance activity, and recent building permit activity for new homes. A copy of that staff report is available at the following link: April 8, 2025 Council Agenda and Report. On August 12, 2025, Planning staff presented an update report to Township Council outlining the results of the road access analysis. When vacant lots without any road access are removed from the inventory, the total number of vacant lots drops from 2,376 parcels to 1,846 parcels, a decrease of 530 parcels or 22.3 percent. A copy of that staff report is available at the following link: August 12, 2025 Council Report. At the August 12 meeting, Council endorsed planning staff’s recommendation to complete the vacant land inventory. Vacant Land Inventory At the meeting on April 8, 2025, staff presented the preliminary data showing that were 2,376 parcels of vacant land (33%) out of the total of 7,170 parcels that are in the Township (refer to Figure 1). Feedback from some members of Council was that many of the existing vacant parcels are not accessible and therefore would not be eligible for a building permit to construct a home.
Page 76 of 187
Figure 1: A map of the Township of Central Frontenac showing the total number of vacant lots in the municipality. Planning staff recognize that Council is intent on proceeding with the severance review. Considering this, planning staff received direction from the Township CAO/Clerk on July 22, 2025, to proceed with the rest of the work to complete the vacant land inventory for the severance review. Receiving permission to proceed with the review prior to the August 12 Council meeting allowed the County to use the assistance of the interns that had been hired for the summer, including in GIS, without additional cost to the Township.
Page 77 of 187
The remainder of the vacant land inventory was completed by the end of August, and it included removing additional vacant parcels based on the following additional screening criteria: • • • • • • • • • •
All Crown land parcels; All vacant parcels of land owned by the Province of Ontario or one of its ministries; All vacant parcels of land owned by the County of Frontenac; All vacant parcels of land owned by the Township of Central Frontenac; All vacant parcels of land owned by one of the conservation authorities; All vacant parcels of land owned by a land conservancy group; All vacant parcels of land adjacent to an at-capacity lake; All vacant parcels of land completely covered by a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW); All vacant parcels of land completely zoned as Environmental Protection Zone – Parks, Conservation Areas and Crown Land (EP-C); and, All vacant parcels of land completely zoned as Environmental Protection Zone – Provincially Significant Wetland (EP-PSW).
With the above criteria applied, an additional 489 vacant lots were removed from the inventory. When combined with the road access data, the total number of vacant lots remaining in the inventory is 1,614, which is only 32% of the overall total of 2,376. (refer to the map in Figure 2 and corresponding legend in Figure 3). It should be noted that the screening criteria did not include parcels partially covered by wetlands or other natural heritage features, or within the influence area of pit, quarries, or waste disposal sites. Planning staff anticipate that there are additional parcels that would not be appropriate for development but see no value at this time in pursuing further screening criteria work through GIS.

Figure 3: The legend for Figure 2 Policy Review In addition to the vacant land inventory, planning staff have reviewed the Township’s Official Plan, specifically as it relates to the division of land and servicing for water and wastewater. A copy of the Official Plan can be found online at this link: Central Frontenac Official Plan. The policies related to the division of land are in Section 3.15 of the Official Plan. Large scale development must be done through a plan of subdivision, but small-scale development, where only a couple of lots are proposed to be severed, are done through the consent process. The Township’s Committee of Adjustment is the approval authority for consents. Section 3.15.1.3 of the Official Plan provides the following direction regarding the number of consents:
Page 80 of 187
“The consent process is intended to be used for lot line adjustments, easements and similar administrative purposes, or for the creation of limited new lots as follows: •
A maximum of two (2) new lots (2 new lots, plus a retained lot) may be created by consent from a land holding as it existed on June 2, 2008 in the Rural Area and Waterfront Area.
•
A maximum of three (3) new lots (3 new lots, plus a retained lot) may be created by consent from a land holding as it existed on June 2, 2008 in the Settlement Area.”
It is standard practice in land use planning to use the date of a previous Official Plan as the point in time that the number of severances is calculated from, and to maintain that date moving forward.

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:
172-2025 September 23, 2025 Chris McDonough, Manager of Emergency Services Fire Chief Chris McDonough, Manager of Emergency Services Fire Chief Donna Longmire, Fire Services Coordinator Central Frontenac Fire Rescue (CFFR) Activity Report
RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive the Central Frontenac Fire Rescue (CFFR) Activity Report prepared by the Manager of Emergency Services/Fire Chief dated September 23, 2025 BACKGROUND Fire Prevention/Public Education In August, social media safety campaigns highlighted children’s fire safety, hiking safety, on-campus and off-campus student living, Labour Day messaging, Voyent Alert, and burn ban status updates. To further support community engagement and education, fire department staff participated in events including Cottage Association AGMs, senior group meetings, and the local fair. Meeting/Training Sessions Throughout the reporting period, staff attended several key meetings, including sessions with Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Ontario Fire Chiefs Administrative Assistants Association, the Ontario Fire Marshal regarding the Fire Protection Grant, the Canadian Red Cross on Fire and Life Safety, and the District Chiefs’ Meeting. These sessions provided important opportunities for information sharing, coordination, and updates that strengthen fire safety initiatives and emergency preparedness. Recruit firefighter training has progressed, with classroom sessions for Firefighter 1 completed. Five recruits successfully passed the written exam and efforts are underway to schedule the live fire training component. Due to lack of resources and time constraints, staff are exploring third-party resources for compliance with mandatory firefighter certification requirements going forward. Fire and Emergency Operations Page 82 of 187
The replacement apparatus for P441 is currently being retrofitted in the United States for Canadian operations. Delivery is now expected between late September/early October, with additional work to be completed in Canada upon arrival. The annual emergency measurers exercise has been submitted to Emergency Management Ontario, and staff have updated all contact information with the Ontario Fire Marshal Training Portal, Red Cross, and other partnership organizations. CFFRS is also reviewing the structure of its Health and Safety Committee and has begun preparations for the 2026 budget.

176-2025 September 23, 2025 J. Michael McGovern, Treasurer J. Michael McGovern, Treasurer Draft Capital Policy Report
RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive the Draft Tangible Capital Asset (TCA) Policy for information AND FURTHER THAT Council provide the Treasurer with recommendations. BACKGROUND The current capital asset policy that we have been operating under was passed in 2009 when municipalities were initially required to record tangible capital asset purchases and amortize the cost over the life of the asset. Asset Management has improved substantially since inception; therefore, the draft policy has been refreshed with updated definitions and represents current practices. DISCUSSION Going forward, I would recommend that the TCA policy be reviewed during each term of council, so it is the Treasurers intention to bring the TCA Policy back to council with any suggested revisions in the middle of each term. STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY

Sustainable Core Services are at the heart of our commitment. We will ensure that essential services remain efficient and accessible, enabling our community’s sustainable growth. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Applicable costs for asset purchases and maintenance have been budgeted.

Definitions Accumulated Amortization – represents the total to date of the annual amortization expense relating to the Tangible Capital Asset since it was placed in use. Acquisition Cost – the amount of consideration given up to: acquire, construct, develop or better a Tangible Capital Asset. This includes but is not limited to installation costs, delivery and duty costs, and staffing costs. Amortization – process of annually expensing the cost of the Tangible Capital Asset, less any Residual Value, over the Tangible Capital Asset’s Estimated Useful Life. Betterment – costs incurred to enhance the service potential of a Tangible Capital Asset. One of the following criteria must exist in order to capitalize these costs:
Significant reduction in operating cost Estimated Useful Life is extended Quality of the output is improved
Disposals – this occurs when the Township releases ownership of the Tangible Capital Asset. This can happen through sale, destruction, loss or abandonment. Estimated Useful Life – estimate of the period over which a Tangible Capital Asset is expected to be used. This can be in years or units (hours or kilometers). This period is the amount of time or units that the Tangible Capital Asset will be amortized over. Fair Market Value - amount of consideration given for a Tangible Capital Asset between two unrelated parties in an arms-length transaction where all parties are knowledgeable and willing. Gain on Disposal – the amount of proceeds that exceed the Net Book Value of the Tangible Capital Asset when the Tangible Capital Asset is disposed of. Gains will be allocated to the department that was responsible for the Tangible Capital Asset and transferred to reserves as part of the year end process.
General Capital Assets are assets that are movable, are not part of the infrastructure system, and could be used to support multiple systems. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – generally referred to as GAAP. This is a combination of authoritative standards and the commonly accepted ways of recording and reporting accounting information.
Infrastructure is the set of facilities and systems that serve a country, city, or other area, and encompasses the services and facilities necessary for its economy, households and firms to function.[2] Infrastructure is composed of public and private physical structures such as roads, railways, bridges, airports, public transit systems, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, and telecommunications (including Internet connectivity and Tangible Capital Assets – Accounting Guidelines P a g e | 3
FN 2025-01
Page 119 of 187
broadband access). In general, infrastructure has been defined as “the physical components of interrelated systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or enhance societal living conditions” and maintain the surrounding environment. Loss on Disposal – the amount that the Net Book Value exceeds the proceeds realized when the Tangible Capital Asset is disposed. The loss will be allocated to the department that was responsible for the Tangible Capital Asset. This is a non-cash transaction. Net Book Value – difference between the Tangible Capital Asset Acquisition Cost and the Accumulated Amortization. Public Sector Accounting Board – generally referred to as PSAB, this board was created to serve the public interest by establishing accounting standards for the public sector in addition to providing guidance for financial and other performance information. Repairs and Maintenance – costs incurred to keep the Tangible Capital Asset in working condition. These costs are expensed annually and shown on the Township’s Statement of Operations. Residual Value – the estimated net realizable value of a Tangible Capital Asset at the end of the Tangible Capital Asset’s useful life. The Township generally assumes a Residual Value of $0. Straight-line amortization – allocates the cost less estimated residual value of a capital asset equally over each year of its estimated useful life. It is assumed that the economic usefulness is the same each year and therefore the amortization charge is the same for each year of its useful life. Tangible Capital Asset – non-financial Tangible Capital Assets having physical substance that include all of the following criteria:
Are held for use and intended to be used on a continuous basis by the Township in the delivery of the goods and services provided to the citizens, businesses and visitors of the Township Have useful life greater than one year Are not intended for sale The ownership and control clearly rest with the Township

Procedures Tangible Capital Assets PSAB 3150
This accounting standard outlines that all Tangible Capital Assets be held at historical cost and shown on the Township’s Statement of Financial Position. In addition, the Township has a Tangible Capital Asset Note to the Financial Statement, which includes the following information:
The Tangible Capital Assets recorded at cost The Net Book Value of all Tangible Capital Assets The Accumulated Amortization The annual Amortization that is expensed on the Statement of Operations The Disposals and any adjustments that occurred in the given year
This note allows the reader of the Financial Statements the ability to see what changed during the year in the Tangible Capital Assets owned by the Township. Capital Lease
The Township may enter into an agreement with a third party to lease a Tangible Capital Asset. The lease is deemed a capital lease and will be treated as all other Tangible Capital Assets, if the Township receives substantially all the benefits and risks associated with the Tangible Capital Asset. At least one of the following criteria must exist for a lease to be capitalized: There is a reasonable chance that the Township will assume ownership of the Tangible Capital Asset at the end of the lease. This can be achieved if there is bargain purchasing (75% of the Fair Market Value of the Tangible Capital Asset) option for the Township. The lease term is for more than 75% of the Estimated Useful Life of the Tangible Capital Asset. The present value of the minimum lease payments is equal to 90% or more of the Fair Market Value of the Tangible Capital Asset at the inception of the lease. If one of the thresholds are met, then a Tangible Capital Asset will be recorded with an offsetting capital lease liability for the present value of the minimum lease payment.

For the purpose of reporting, Tangible Capital Assets need to be categorized. Tangible Capital Assets will be categorized in the following groups for the notes to the Financial Statements, which follows the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Financial Information Return:
General Government Protection Services Transportation Services Environmental Services Health Services Recreation and Cultural Services Planning and Development
Tangible Capital Asset Classification
For the purpose of reporting, Tangible Capital Assets need to be classified. Tangible Capital Assets will be classified in the following groups for the Financial Statements:
Land Landfill and land Improvements Buildings and building improvements Machinery, Equipment and Furniture Vehicles Computer Software Roads and road infrastructure Bridges and bridge infrastructure Storm sewer system Frontenac Community Arena Assets under Construction
In addition, each Tangible Capital Asset will be assigned to the department to which is responsible for the Tangible Capital Asset. This will allow annual amortization to be expensed to the correct department as well as tying the Tangible Capital Assets into the annual Financial Information Return.
Recording and Valuing Tangible Capital Assets

Page 122 of 187
When recording Tangible Capital Assets, the Township has two approaches that are both accepted under GAAP, Whole Tangible Capital Asset and component. Whole Tangible Capital Asset – this approach would see the entire Tangible Capital Assets and all components recorded and amortized as one Tangible Capital Asset. An example would be a snowplow truck. Component Approach – under this approach, major components of a Tangible Capital Asset are recorded and amortized as separate pieces. An example of this would be a building that would be recorded as structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. The Component approach is more appropriate for large scale Tangible Capital Assets that can easily be broken down into smaller Tangible Capital Assets, which can have different values and estimated useful lives. Additional factors to consider when choosing an approach:
Significance of the amounts Quantity of individual Tangible Capital Assets Availability/reliability of the information with respect to the specific components Information needs to make future decisions
Segments
Linear Tangible Capital Assets (roads, and stormwater pipes) will be broken down into logical segments as determined by the department responsible for the Tangible Capital Asset in cooperation with the finance department. Pooled Tangible Capital Assets
In certain situations, the Township makes a large purchase of several smaller items. For example, books or computers. In this situation, the individual Tangible Capital Asset is below the threshold; however the combined total is well over the threshold. If this is the case, effort will be made to capitalize individually if determined feasible by the Treasurer, and if not, then the Tangible Capital Assets will be capitalized as a pooled Tangible Capital Asset and recorded; and amortized over the useful life. Recording a Tangible Capital Asset
A Tangible Capital Asset should be recorded and recognized on the Financial Statements when both of the following criteria exist: It is probable that a future benefit to the Township will be obtained from the Tangible Capital Asset There is a reliable/appropriate base of measurement The acquisition date of the Tangible Capital Asset is the earlier of:
Tangible Capital Assets – Accounting Guidelines P a g e | 7
FN 2025-01
Page 123 of 187
The date that the legal ownership of the Tangible Capital Asset is transferred to the Township The date that the construction of the Tangible Capital Asset is completed and ready for use Determining when a Tangible Capital Asset is complete and ready for use requires situation specific considerations. These considerations will be made with the department responsible in conjunction with the Finance Department. Capitalization Threshold
The threshold represents the minimum cost that an individual (or pooled) Tangible Capital Asset must have before being capitalized and shown on the Statement of Financial Position. Costs must meet the criteria to be considered a Tangible Capital Asset and meet or exceeds the following capitalization threshold. Tangible Capital Asset Land Land Improvements Buildings Vehicles, Machinery and Equipment Pooled Tangible Capital Assets Linear (Roads, Storm Sewer system)
Threshold All Land purchases are capitalized $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000
Betterment versus Maintenance
Costs of Betterment are considered to be part of the Tangible Capital Asset and therefore capitalized whereas maintenance costs are expensed annually on the Statement of Operations. Major Betterments should be included in the annual Capital Budgets whereas repairs and maintenance should be included in the annual Operating Budgets of the respective department. To be considered a Betterment, the cost must be equal to or greater than 20% of the historical cost for both individual and pooled Tangible Capital Assets. In addition to criterion, one of the following must also exist:
The Estimated Useful Life is extended by 25% The costs result in an increased capacity of at least 25% The efficiency of the Tangible Capital Asset is increased by 15% The operational costs decreased by 15%
When a cost cannot be differentiated between a Betterment and maintenance, the cost will be considered an expense and shown in the annual Statement of Operations. Valuing Tangible Capital Assets
Tangible Capital Assets – Accounting Guidelines P a g e | 8
FN 2025-01
Page 124 of 187
Tangible Capital Assets are considered non-financial Tangible Capital Assets and are included in the Statement of Financial Position. In accordance with GAAP, the historical cost of the Tangible Capital Asset must be used when capitalizing the expenditures. Costs can include:
Purchase price of the Tangible Capital Asset Direct construction costs including labour (external) and materials Installation costs Design and engineering fees Legal and surveying fees Site preparation Freight and duty costs Insurance costs related to the transportation of the Tangible Capital Asset
For projects that result in multiple Tangible Capital Assets, for example a building, the general costs will be distributed based on the percentage of the individual Tangible Capital Assets. Township staffing costs (salaries and benefits) can be allocated to the capital project, however the staff member’s time must be clearly attributable to the project and not include hours working on other items. Whether staffing costs can be capitalized is at the sole discretion of the Treasurer. Interest costs related to the financing of a Tangible Capital Asset will not be capitalized, rather expensed through the annual Statement of Operations. Contributed or Donated Tangible Capital Assets
The Township can have Tangible Capital Assets either donated or contributed to the delivery of the services provided by the Township. A donated Tangible Capital Asset could be a piece of land given for the purposes of a park and a contributed Tangible Capital Asset could be linear works received during the assumption of a subdivision. These Tangible Capital Assets need to be capitalized at the Fair Market Value on the date of contribution and included on the Statement of Financial Position. For donated Tangible Capital Assets, the department receiving the Tangible Capital Asset should obtain an independent valuation from a third-party, such as an appraisal or engineering professional opinion. This third-party valuation will be the Fair Market Value assigned to the donated Tangible Capital Asset. For contributed Tangible Capital Assets, the department receiving the Tangible Capital Assets will obtain the Fair Market Value of the Tangible Capital Assets through the development contract or agreement.
Tangible Capital Assets – Accounting Guidelines P a g e | 9
FN 2025-01
Page 125 of 187
If a Fair Market Value cannot be determined by the process outlined above, then a nominal value will be used and a note to disclose this information will be included with the Statement of Financial Position. Amortization
Amortization reflects the annual cost to the Township of the Tangible Capital Assets. As the Tangible Capital Asset is consumed (through the Estimated Useful Life) a portion is allocated as an operating expense through amortization. The Township will utilize the straight-line method of amortization which includes the Half Year Rule. This rule states that only 50% of the annual amortization will be booked in year one. Land is the only category of Tangible Capital Assets that will not be amortized. As per section PSAB 3150.29, the amortization method of Estimated Useful Life of a Tangible Capital Asset should be adjusted if one of the following events occurs: A change in how the Tangible Capital Asset is used Removal of the Tangible Capital Asset out of service for an extended period of time (one year) Physical damage to the Tangible Capital Asset Significant technological advancements Change in the demand for the service (that the Tangible Capital Asset provides) Change in legislation affecting the period of time over which a Tangible Capital Asset can be used. Amortization is reviewed on an annual basis through the completion of the Financial Statements. Estimated Useful Life
The estimated useful life (included in Appendix A) is the shorter of either the physical, technological, commercial or legal life. Using professional judgement, staff have assigned an estimated useful life for the various Tangible Capital Assets that are owned and operated by the Township. Although the physical life of the Tangible Capital Asset may differ, the intent is to try and make these two useful lives the same. Factors that go into setting the estimated useful life include: Experience with similar Tangible Capital Assets Third party knowledge of the Tangible Capital Assets Expected usage of the Tangible Capital Asset in conjunction with the maintenance program

Page 126 of 187
Impairment of a Tangible Capital Asset
When a Tangible Capital Asset is no longer able to provide the good and or service that it was purchased to perform, the Net Book Value of that Tangible Capital Asset needs to be reduced to reflect the new Fair Market Value of the Tangible Capital Asset to the Township. Any impairments will be expensed to the department responsible and will be shown on the annual Statement of Operations. Indications of impairment include:
A change in how the Tangible Capital Asset is used A change in the manner to which a Tangible Capital Asset is used Physical damage to the Tangible Capital Asset Significant technological advancements Change in the demand of the service (that the Tangible Capital Asset provides) A decision to halt construction before the Tangible Capital Asset is in a useable condition
Disposals
On disposal, the historical cost and accumulated amortization is removed from the Statement of Financial Position. As per PSAB 3150, the difference between the net proceeds on disposal and the Net Book Value of the Tangible Capital Asset is accounted for as either revenue (Gain on Disposal) or expense (Loss on Disposal) through the Statement of Operations. Disposals of a Tangible Capital Asset may occur by sale, trade-in, destruction, loss or abandonment. Tangible Capital Assets under Construction (Work in Progress)
During construction or the ordering process of a Tangible Capital Asset the costs will be recorded to the Work in Progress inventory account. Once the Tangible Capital Asset is completed and ready to be transferred into use, the Tangible Capital Asset is then transferred to the correct Tangible Capital Asset classification. Tangible Capital Assets included in the Work in Progress account are not amortized until they are considered in service. All costs included in Work in Progress must be written off if construction of the Tangible Capital Asset is terminated or deferred indefinitely or have been in Work In Progress for five years, whichever is earlier.
Exclusions There are no exclusions from this policy.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38 Sharbot Lake, Ontario
REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:
177-2025 September 23, 2025 J. Michael McGovern, Treasurer J. Michael McGovern, Treasurer New Website Platform Required
RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive the report for information; AND THAT Council receive for information the Treasurer’s report entitled “New Website Platform Required”; AND THAT Council supports the selection of Sandbox Software Solutions as the successful proponent to create a new website for Central Frontenac Township at a cost of $22,157+ annual hosting of $5,700; AND THAT Council directs the Treasurer to add the cost to the 2026 budget; AND THAT Council authorize the CAO & Mayor to enter a contract for website services with Sandbox Software Solutions to start late in 2025 to avoid last minute issues for our residents. BACKGROUND The Frontenac County along with all lower tiered townships issued a joint RFP (Request for Proposal) to create a new website for Frontenac County & Townships. We had 32 submissions for the RFP. The list was narrowed down to 5 proposals for further review. The reviewed proposal prices for one time fees & annual maintenance ranged in price from $19,100 to $37,350 for Central Frontenac. Sandbox scored the
Page 156 of 187
highest overall with 93.5 out of 100 due to the pricing, support, and overall customer references. The new website will allow Township staff to update parts of the website ourselves making information available to residents quicker, as well as allow for easier support from County I.T. lowering support costs. The implementation for the current software was $15,700 in 2017 and the 2025 annual maintenance was $5,715 after the hst rebate. DISCUSSION The Township’s current website provider (GHD) since 2017 provided notice that the current website hosting product (iCreate) will reach end of life June 30, 2026. With this information the township and partner municipalities decided to go to market and issue an RFP for Website Development and Hosting options. The following recommendation is a result of that shared procurement process. We agreed across the Frontenacs that Sandbox Software Solutions was the best option for all of us due to the value for money, also allowing consistency across the websites for look & support from County I.T. The other prices for one time fee & annual support costs came in at $19,100, $23,894, $25,673, & $37,350. STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY N/A FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The one-time cost of $22,157 and annual hosting of $5,700 will form part of the 2026 budget. Any costs incurred prior to the 2026 budget year will form part of the 2025-year end surplus/deficit. ATTACHMENTS/REFERENCES N/A

August Project Updates Additional Severance Research Project Council has requested continued research into a potential Official Plan amendment to increase the number of severances permitted per property. A report will be presented to Council at the August 12, 2025, meeting to provide an update on the status of this initiative. The project remains in progress but is nearing completion. Property Access Research Project Township staff have received several resident complaints regarding property access issues that impact building permit applications. Staff have implemented a temporary solution and are actively exploring a permanent solution through a potential zoning bylaw amendment. This project is ongoing and continues to be a priority. Mapping of Historic Plans of Subdivision Township staff are working in collaboration with County Planning and GIS staff to map historic plans of subdivision. Raw data has been provided to the County, who are developing a new mapping layer. This initiative aims to improve the quality and accessibility of planning information, enhance staff efficiency during resident inquiries, and support more accurate planning reviews. This project is ongoing. Road Mapping Project In partnership with the Public Works Department, County GIS staff, and both County and Township Planning departments, all required data has been compiled and submitted to the County.

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:
181-2025 September 23, 2025 Cathy MacMunn, CAO/Clerk Sarah Watkins – Clerical Assistant Committee of Council Titles
RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive the “Committee of Council Titles” report for information; AND THAT all Committees of Council be renamed to incorporate the term “Advisory” in their official titles; AND FURTHER THAT Standing Committees be retitled as Standing Advisory Committees, Ad Hoc Committees be retitled as Ad Hoc Advisory Committees, and all other Committees of Council be renamed to reflect their advisory role. BACKGROUND The Committees of Council Policy was approved and enacted on August 12, 2025. The purpose of this policy is to establish a clear framework to ensure a consistent, standardized procedure for all Committees of Council. At the September 9, 2025, Regular Meeting of Council, some confusion arose regarding the function of Committees, specifically with respect to their advisory nature. DISCUSSION As outlined in the Committees of Council Policy and Procedural By-law 2023-53:
Page 168 of 187
“The authority of any Committee is limited to making recommendations to Council. No decision to take any action other than administrative in nature shall be recognized as emanating from any Committee.” This provision establishes that all Committees of Council are advisory in nature. Committees may make recommendations, but any decision beyond administrative matters requires Council approval before it can be acted upon.
For classification purposes: • •
An “Advisory Committee” must be made up of at least 50% council composition pursuant to S. 238 of the Municipal Act Any Committees with less than 50% Council composition have been classified as either “Standing Committees” or “Ad Hoc Committees”, depending on their mandate and duration.
Since Council has directed that the word “Advisory” be incorporated into the names of all committees. Staff are recommending that any committee classified as “Standing” or “Ad Hoc” will be formally titled as: • •
Standing Advisory Committee Ad Hoc Advisory Committee
This change reflects Council’s intent to ensure the advisory role of all committees is consistently identified in their names.
