Business a) Season Wrap Up – Report from Sarah Winney: 2025 was a fantastic season with 1 or more Community Partners in attendance each week. The Food Bank was a welcome addition. NFLT returned this year on a weekly basis and saw good results, and brought good energy on Saturday mornings. David Yerxa attended promoting his swimathon, and the Girl Guides were also present at several Markets. Opening Day with Sharbot Lake Chiropractic and Wellness was a good kick off for the 2025 Market season. The Corn Roast, support of the Food Bank, donations from Cardinal and Belong, as well as Heidi from Tiny Honey presenting during Open Farms weekend were all highlights this past summer. Everyone was in agreement that the Gift Basket Draws were a great addition this year, and it was nice to see that our regular customers were the winners. Everyone in attendance agreed that the highlights in 2025 were seeing regular customers each week, the community spirit that the market has fostered, the social atmosphere that has been created on Saturdays at the Beach, the Flash Mob with NFLT, and becoming a destination for cottagers. 2025 Season saw 2744 people in attendance approximately 188/weekThese numbers indicate that attendance is back to pre-covid numbers. Sarah commended Vendors who had committed to the 14 weeks creating a solid vendor base for the Market. b) Market Finances $4065.96 currently in the bank account- more vendors this year and more 1- or 2-time vendors meant more revenue. BBQs brought in a small amount of money- but everyone agreed that they are a positive experience for market goers and promoting community. Christmas Market – December 6, 2025- Fees are $25/ table. These fees will go toward the 2026 season. The Gift Certificates that each Vendor awarded to customers was great marketing- creating repeat customers.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38 Sharbot Lake, Ontario

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:

2-2026 January 13, 2026 Andy Dillon, Chief Building Official Andy Dillon, Chief Building Official Annual adjustment to Schedule “C” building permit fees under By-law 2014-27 (as amended), effective February 1, 2026

RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS By-law 2014-27 requires that the fees set out in Schedule “C” shall be adjusted annually and effective the 1st of February based upon the 3rd quarter Bank of Canada Total CPI (https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/price-indexes/cip/). NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve a 2.0% increase to building permit fees effective February 1, 2026, in accordance with Section 7.4 of Bylaw 2014-27 (as amended) which links annual fee updates to the Bank of Canada Total CPI (Q3); AND THAT the Chief Building Official be directed to update Schedule “C” accordingly. BACKGROUND Section 7.4 of By-law 2014-27 (as amended by 2022-22) provides for annual adjustments to building permit fees. Increases are required to maintain cost recovery for the delivery of building services, including wage growth, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and the administration of the Septic Re‑Inspection Program. Over the past three years, more than 500 permits were issued, with nearly 350 still open, many being homeowner-led projects that span multiple years. A dedicated reserve is needed to cover future inspections and to buffer against economic downturns. A minimum reserve target of three years of operating costs is recommended before fees are frozen. In 2025, the Building Department is estimated to have run a $15,000 deficit, with the reserve projected at $175,000 (down 7.5% from 2024). Permit fee revenue in 2025 was approximately $230,000, the lowest since before the COVID‑19 pandemic. Ancillary

Page 33 of 103

corporate costs (e.g., space rental, heat, hydro, IT) are not precisely allocated to the department. DISCUSSION A modest 2.0% fee increase aligns with the by-law’s CPI-based methodology and helps ensure growth pays for growth rather than shifting costs onto existing taxpayers. While the department generated small surpluses in previous years, the 2025 deficit underscores the need to maintain cost recovery and service continuity. The additional full-time employee budgeted for 2026 will support delivery and enforcement of the sewage system maintenance inspection program, which imposes significant administrative demands. If permit volumes in 2026 remain at 2025 levels, the increase would add roughly $4,600 (2% of $230,000) in revenue—helpful but not sufficient alone to offset a larger deficit; ongoing monitoring of volumes and cost drivers will be required. While Central Frontenac’s building permit fees are on the higher end compared to neighbouring municipalities, it is important to note that operating costs vary significantly by region, influencing overall fee structures. STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY Sustainable Core Services

• Maintain sufficient reserves to manage unanticipated downloads or other needs Healthy Community Development
• Strengthen and support the enforcement of bylaws Resilient Natural Environment
• Continue the septic system re-inspection program FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The 2026 operating budget for Building Code Act enforcement, including one additional full-time employee, is projected to increase by about $65,000 to $300,000. 2025 permit fee revenue was approximately $230,000. If 2026 volumes are similar, a 2.0% fee increase would yield an estimated $4,600 in additional revenue. Without an increase in permit volumes or other efficiencies, the department could face a larger deficit in 2026; therefore, maintaining CPI-linked adjustments and monitoring reserve adequacy are recommended.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38 Sharbot Lake, Ontario

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:

3-2026 January 13, 2026 Steve Gould, Public Works Manager Amanda Fellows, Public Works Technical Assistant, Lance Cowdy, Public Works Supervisor Public Works Activity Report

RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receive the Public Works Activity Report as presented by the Public Works Manager for information. BACKGROUND The Public Works Manager provides a monthly report to Council summarizing the key activities and operational highlights undertaken by the Public Works Department throughout the Township. DISCUSSION Brushing activities were completed on Oak Flats Road prior to the holiday season to improve sightlines, enhance roadway safety, and support effective winter maintenance operations. Throughout the month of December, Township Road crews responded extensively to winter weather conditions, plowing and sanding roads on 19 of the 31 days. Toward the end of the month, the Township experienced a significant ice storm. Both road crews were fully prepared and responded immediately, allowing ice to be cleared and road conditions to be restored in a timely and efficient manner. Council and residents are reminded that road maintenance activities in Ontario are governed by provincially regulated Minimum Maintenance Standards. These standards establish the legally required timelines for municipalities to identify and address road hazards such as potholes, snow accumulation, and ice buildup. The standards are based on road classifications ranging from Class 1 (most heavily travelled) to Class 5 (least travelled). Most of the roads within the Township are classified as Class 4 or Class 5. Under these standards, response times for certain hazards on these road classes may range from 30 to 60 days, and road patrols may only be required once every 30 days. Despite these allowances, Central Frontenac consistently exceeds the

Page 40 of 103

minimum service levels prescribed by legislation. The Township takes pride in its response times and service delivery, and staff remain committed to maintaining the high standard of service residents expect. During extreme weather conditions, the Township may declare a Significant Weather Event. Such a declaration occurs when conditions, including heavy snowfall, freezing rain, or ice accumulation, make roads and sidewalks particularly hazardous. When a Significant Weather Event is declared, normal maintenance timelines are temporarily suspended to allow crews to prioritize critical routes and operate safely. The declaration also serves as a public safety notice, advising residents to exercise extreme caution or avoid travel when possible. Standard maintenance operations resume once the event has concluded. Residents are also reminded that plowing, shoveling, or otherwise depositing snow onto or across a roadway is prohibited. Section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act makes it illegal to deposit snow or ice onto a roadway without written permission from the road authority. Depositing snow onto roadways creates significant safety risks by increasing the likelihood of icy conditions, reducing visibility, interfering with snow removal operations, and potentially forming frozen snowbanks. These frozen accumulations pose a serious hazard to motorists and equipment operators. If a municipal plow encounters an unexpected frozen snowbank, it may result in equipment damage, loss of vehicle control, or the plow being forced into the ditch, placing motorists, pedestrians, and operators at risk of serious injury or death. Repeated violations may result in enforcement action and fines. Residents are encouraged to remain calm during storm events, monitor weather forecasts, and prepare in advance for anticipated conditions. Allowing extra travel time and exercising caution helps reduce risks during winter weather. The Township also asks for patience and cooperation while road crews work safely to clear snow, ice, and fallen trees. These operations require time and must be completed in a manner that ensures the safety of both workers and the community. Township road crews remain dedicated to maintaining safe and passable roads and to supporting the safety of Central Frontenac residents throughout the winter season.

These responses are intended to inform Council and the public by providing accurate context on how Public Works operations are managed. DISCUSSION

1. Do the Supervisor or Manager inspect the work crews do? Yes. The supervisor actively inspects and oversees the work completed by all crews and is directly responsible for daily operations in the field. The Manager’s role is broader in scope and focuses on strategic and administrative responsibilities suchn as asset management, staffing, budgeting, policy development, and overall departmental oversight. Together, these roles are clearly defined and complementary, ensuring effective supervision, operational accountability, and appropriate management of Public Works activities.
2. Would a shift rotation be a better idea to get work done? No, a shift rotation model is not feasible given current financial, staffing, and operational conditions. Implementing shift-based operations would require a

Page 44 of 103

significant increase in equipment to allows multiple crews to operate concurrently without interruption, which is not financially sustainable. In addition, the Township does not currently have sufficient staffing levels, including mechanics and operators, to support and maintain a continuous shift rotation model. As a result, introducing shift rotations would not improve service delivery and would place undue strain on existing resources while increasing operational risk. 3. Is grading on a rotation not an option? Yes. Grading is performed using a rotational approach; however, the rotation is operationally flexible and may be adjusted in response to emergency situations, weather conditions, or other priority maintenance needs. The Township owns four graders and operates two crews, divided between the North and South areas of the Township. During grading operations, one grader begins at the southernmost point and progresses inward, while a second grader begins at the northernmost point and progresses inward. The remaining two graders are deployed from central locations and work outward toward the advancing graders. Once coverage is completed, the rotations recommence. This method ensures systematic roadway coverage while maintaining the ability to reassign resources when urgent conditions arise. 4. Can Wilkinson Road get tar and chip? At this time, the Township is relying on an outdated traffic count for Wilkinson Road. A new traffic count is scheduled to be conducted during the upcoming summer season, when traffic volumes are typically at their highest, to ensure the data accurately reflects current roadway usage. Once updated traffic data is available, the roadway will be reassessed in the fall to determine whether a tar and chip treatment is justified. As a general guideline, a roadway must experience a minimum average daily traffic volume of approximately 200 vehicles before consideration is given to transitioning from gravel to a tar and chip surface. 5. Do the trucks have chains? Yes. All Township trucks are equipped with tire chains. Chains are installed and used during periods of severe icy or slippery conditions when required to maintain safe and effective operations. 6. Are Public Works staff properly trained? Yes. All Public Works staff receive training appropriate to their roles and responsibilities and in accordance with applicable legislation, regulatory requirements and operation standards. Training is delivered through a combination of in-house instruction and external programs offered by recognized organizations specializing in municipal operations, including Good Roads training and road schools, which many staff members have attended. Ongoing training is provided to

Page 45 of 103

ensure staff remain qualified, compliant, and capable of performing their duties safely and effectively. Conclusion Public Works operations are carried out in accordance with established procedures that prioritize public safety, service reliability, fiscal responsibility, and regulatory compliance. While operational challenges and emergency situations may occasionally affect scheduled work, systems are in place to ensure appropriate oversight, accountability, and continuity of service. The information provided above reflects current practices and clarifies the rationale behind operational decisions.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38. Sharbot Lake, Ontario

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:

6-2026 January 13, 2026 Steve Gould, Public Works Manager Jody Legue, Deputy Clerk Final Parking Bylaw

RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS the Township has reviewed and updated its Parking By-law to modernize regulations and improve clarity; AND WHEREAS the updated Parking By-law includes provisions for an Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) in accordance with applicable legislation; AND WHEREAS public consultation has been completed and feedback has been considered as part of the update; AND WHEREAS the proposed Parking By-law has undergone a legal review to ensure compliance with provincial requirements; AND WHEREAS it is necessary to amend Schedule C of By-law 2024-43 (Administrative Monetary Penalty System) by adding Table 3 to reflect updated parkingrelated penalties; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council hereby receives the updated Parking By-law as presented; AND FURTHER THAT Schedule C of By-law 2024-43 be amended by adding Table 3, as attached; AND FURTHER THAT the Parking By-law be brought forward for adoption later in this meeting.

Page 47 of 103

BACKGROUND The Township is updating its parking regulations to consolidate, modernize, and replace By-Laws 2004-156 and 2012-34. The new Parking By-Law establishes clear, enforceable parking rules for Township highways and municipal properties and aligns enforcement with the Township’s Administrative Monetary Penalty (AMP) framework under By-Law 2024-43. Ontario Regulation 333/07 authorizes municipalities to impose administrative penalties for parking, stopping, and standing offences, as an alternative to the Provincial Offences Act. This approach provides for more efficient enforcement, timely resolution, and reduced court involvement. DISCUSSION On September 9, 2025, staff presented a draft Parking By-law to Council for initial consideration. At that time, Council directed staff to seek public input, which was obtained through a survey posted on the Township website. The feedback received was reported back to Council, and Council provided direction to staff on revisions to the draft by-law. The revised draft Parking By-law was brought back to Council on October 14, 2025. Council indicated satisfaction with the updates and requested that the by-law undergo a legal review prior to adoption. The legal review has since been completed. As a result, the following refinements were made to the by-law: the addition of appropriate definitions; rewording for clarity and consistency without altering the intent of the provisions; the inclusion of Section 4(d) addressing School Zones; the addition of Section 4(f) to include Township-owned parking lots; and the removal of all references to the Provincial Offences Act (POA), as enforcement will be carried out through the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS). The proposed Set Penalty Schedule was developed through a comparison of penalty amounts used by other small municipalities. For accessible parking spaces, the provincially established penalty amount has been applied. To support implementation and public education, the Planning Coordinator, A. McKinnon, prepared maps illustrating parking restrictions throughout the Township. The Public Works Manager has reviewed the updated Parking By-law and is satisfied that it meets all legislative requirements and operational needs of the Township. Staff

Page 48 of 103

therefore recommend that Council pass the Parking By-law later in this meeting and amend the AMPS By-law to designate the Parking By-law as an enforceable by-law under the AMPS program. Upon implementation, the Township will commence an education and awareness campaign through its website and social media platforms, advising the public of the changes to the Parking By-law and identifying the locations of no-parking areas. STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITY Healthy community development, strengthen and support the enforcement of bylaws. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The implementation of the Parking By-law is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the Township and can be accommodated within existing resources.

STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Township of Central Frontenac 14216 Road 38. Sharbot Lake, Ontario

REPORT NUMBER: DATE: FROM: PREPARED BY: RE:

7-2026 January 13,2026 Cathy MacMunn, Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk Jody Legue, Deputy Clerk Public Survey Results- Draft Sewage System Standards By-Law

RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS Council, by resolution at its November 25, 2025, Regular Meeting, directed staff to release a public survey to gather comments on the Preliminary Draft Sewage System Standards By-law, with a closing date of December 31, 2025; AND WHEREAS the results of the public survey have been compiled and submitted to Council; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council hereby receives the public survey results regarding the Preliminary Draft Sewage System Standards By-law for information BACKGROUND As part of the outcomes of the Septic Reinspection Program, the Septic Reinspection Advisory Committee recommended that Council consider the adoption of a Sewage System Standards By-law as a means of addressing failed or non-compliant sewage systems identified through the program. Failing or malfunctioning sewage systems pose risks to public health and have the potential to negatively impact surface water, groundwater, and the broader natural environment. Without the Administrative Monetary Penalties System (AMPS), enforcement of failed or non-compliant septic systems is carried out through traditional means, including orders to comply issued by the Chief Building Official, Provincial Offences Act charges, or legal action. These approaches can be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and may not

Page 73 of 103

result in timely compliance. The proposed Sewage System Standards By-law, supported by an AMPS framework, provides the Township with a more effective, proportionate, and timely compliance tool to address deficiencies identified through the reinspection program. The adoption of a Sewage System Standards By-law directly supports the Township’s Strategic Priorities. Specifically, it aligns with Healthy Community Development by strengthening and supporting the enforcement of municipal by-laws, and with a Resilient Natural Environment by supporting the continuation and effectiveness of the Septic Reinspection Program. Together, these measures enhance the Township’s ability to proactively address sewage system failures, protect the environment, and promote long-term community well-being. DISCUSSION Public feedback on the draft Sewage System Standards By-law was received from a total of 62 respondents across the Township of Central Frontenac. With respect to clarity and ease of understanding, responses were mixed, with a minority indicating the by-law was clear, while the majority felt it was only somewhat clear or not clear. Several respondents noted that the by-law follows a standard municipal by-law format; however, others raised concerns about specific provisions, suggesting that certain language— such as requirements related to odours—may be overly broad and would benefit from greater specificity to better distinguish normal system operation from non-compliant conditions. Feedback regarding the proposed standards and requirements was generally more critical. A significant portion of respondents felt the standards were not reasonable or appropriate, particularly in the context of a rural municipality. Key concerns included the potential financial impact on property owners, cumulative tax pressures, rising costs of living, and the expense of required sewage system upgrades or replacements. Several respondents expressed concern about the use of Administrative Monetary Penalties, emphasizing that enforcement should be proportionate and used as a last resort. While some respondents acknowledged the importance of maintaining safe and functional sewage systems to protect public health and the natural environment, there was a recurring theme that Council should consider flexibility, timing, and alternative compliance approaches in light of current economic conditions.
