AGENDA ITEM #b)
Central Frontenac Housing Corporation 1096-B Clement Rd. Unit 6 Sharbot Lake, Ontario K0A2P0 January 9, 2019. Dear Warden and Council, The Central Frontenac Housing Corporation is seeking assistance to improve accessibility and safety of the Seniors Housing Complex at 1096-B Clement Rd., Sharbot Lake in the Township of Central Frontenac. Background: The Central Frontenac Housing Corporation is a not for profit corporation formed in 2009. The corporation was formed to meet requirements of the Province of Ontario in order to receive funding under a program called DOORS (Delivering Opportunities to Ontario Renters). An agreement with the province was signed by the officers of the corporation of the day. The agreement stipulates the building is to provide affordable housing for seniors (ages 60 +) of low to moderate income. The designation “affordable” housing and the agreement sets rent at or below 80% of market rent for comparable accommodation. The province does not provide ongoing financial support for this housing project. The grant from the province was a one-time infusion of cash. A copy of the agreement is available for review should council or staff require more details. Sharbot Lake Seniors Complex: The funding provided allowed for the construction of a 5 unit, single floor apartment complex suitable for seniors. Each unit has a private entrance, one bedroom, a bathroom, open concept kitchen/living room, and a small private rear yard. The corporation provides each unit with a washer, dryer, refrigerator, and stove. Heat, hydro and water are included with the rent as are services such as grass cutting, snow removal and septic maintenance. In addition to the residential units the building includes office space for administration and a common room which can be used by the seniors and other small groups in order to provide the seniors with more opportunity for social engagement. Financial Challenges: A number of issues had to be addressed before the project could start. Due to the complexity of these issues the project start was delayed for well over a year. Construction costs increased due to the delay. There was also some vandalism which occurred during construction. As a result of the increased cost the DOORS funding fell short to complete the project. The corporation had to secure a mortgage which has increased operating costs.
Ms. Janet Gutowski, Chair, Central Frontenac 18 of 149 Housing CorporationPage will ad…
AGENDA ITEM #b)
The construction of seniors building included utilizing some newer technologies of the day in an effort to achieve a high standard of energy efficiency and a designation of a “green” building. This resulted in the complex being honoured with a number of awards with respect to its building techniques and the efficiencies which it achieved. The corporation is mostly satisfied with the technologies utilized during construction however from time to time we have incurred some unanticipated operating expenses. Here are some examples: The in-floor heating and water treatment systems have been problematic from time to time. Technicians qualified to work on these systems must travel to Sharbot Lake from outside the area. There are usually at least two service calls. The first is usually to diagnose the problem. If parts are required there is a waiting period and a second visit. We have also recently replaced all of the bathroom faucets as we have learned from our tenants that the motion sensor activated taps which were originally installed are not suitable for their needs. The challenges presented over the years has resulted in a capital replacement reserve which is currently underfunded. Although we are slowly rebuilding our reserve we are not in a position to undertake new projects without additional capital. We have annual financial statements available to support our claims and we will be happy to share them with staff and council. That is why we are asking for your help. Proposed Project: Due to the shortfall of funds, when the building was constructed in 2011 the parking area and entrance to the building were not completed at that time. Over the years minor improvements have been made but an assessment of the parking area and building entrances leaves a lot to be desired in terms of accessibility and safety. The project we hope to undertake is outlined below.
- Remove a large rock in the parking area. The rock presents issues with snow clearing, and safety, and limits the parking area available. Its presence restricts access to parking close to the building. This makes it difficult for the seniors to access the sidewalk especially in winter. All of our tenants are seniors, some have mobility issues.
- Increase the size of the parking area. The current parking area serves to provide parking for our 5 tenant units and there are two or three additional spaces .. in summer. These additional spaces are not necessarily there in in winter. Visitors such as family members, guests, health care and support workers, the property manager, tenants from NFNPHC paying rent and/or doing business at the office, contractors and service technicians, board members, visitors to meetings/activities held in the common room struggle to park and access the building safely especially in winter. The laneway from Clement Rd. to the Seniors Complex is narrow an cannot be used safely. Parking further down
Ms. Janet Gutowski, Chair, Central Frontenac 19 of 149 Housing CorporationPage will ad…
AGENDA ITEM #b)
the lane interferes with tenant parking at 1096-A Clement Rd which is a fourplex owned/operated by North Frontenac Non Profit Housing. The poor parking situation has at times has made it difficult for Frontenac Paramedics to transport clients from the building to the ambulance. Increasing the size of the parking area will improve safe access to the building for the seniors and others and allow for increased opportunity to utilize the Seniors Common Room as intended to promote social interaction for the seniors. 3) Construct an additional sidewalk from the parking lot to the building. There is currently one sidewalk providing access from the parking area to the building. This sidewalk directs people to the residential side of the complex which is less than ideal. It impacts on the privacy of the seniors and makes Property Managers office and the Seniors Common room more difficult to access. The Property Managers office is at the back of the building on the east side. North Frontenac Non Profit Housing shares the office space and property manager. This means tenants from the 18 NFNPHC units come to the senior’s complex to pay rent and do business with the Property manager as well as contractors and service technicians from time to time. 4) Add 2 Accessible Door buttons There are currently none in place. Given the common room should senior friendly and accessible to all, and the office is commercial space, there should be power door buttons at the Seniors Common Room and the Property Managers office. Again, I emphasize that some of our tenants have mobility issues. Also, some of the tenants from the NFNPHC who visit the office to do business also have disabilities and/or may have small children with them. In recent months even one of our board members had a health problem which required the use of a wheelchair. The addition of accessible door buttons will allow the seniors and others to access the common room and property manager’s office with greater ease and encourage independence. Why now: Given the complex was built in 2011, there has been time to ensure the Sharbot Lake Seniors Affordable Housing Complex is successfully up and running and we have had time to assess our needs. There is also some new energy on the board with the addition of some new members. We are encouraged by Frontenac County and the townships within the county’s ongoing efforts to become an Age Friendly Community. Having reviewed the Age Friendly Action Plan which was approved by County council in Feb 2018, we are encouraged by the actions listed and we are confident this project is one which meets the intentions and objectives outlined in the plan. We are also striving to be compliant with the AODA (Accessibility Ontario Disability Act) and ensure our built environment is accessible. The Ask: CFHC is in the process of soliciting estimates for all aspects of the work to be undertaken. Initial quotes estimate the value of the total project to be in the range of $20,000 - $25,000 which is well beyond our means. For that reason, we have broken
Ms. Janet Gutowski, Chair, Central Frontenac 20 of 149 Housing CorporationPage will ad…
AGENDA ITEM #b)
the down the project and we plan to proceed as funds becomes available. It is our intention to conduct some fundraising activities work with other partners to reach our goals. We have already investigated grant opportunities from other sources however it appears our project does not fit the criteria of existing federal or CMHC programs at this time. We are in the process of preparing an application to the Ontario Trillium Fund however with such a small number of units in the building and recent cuts announced, we are not very optimistic about our chances for success. For this reason, we are hopeful that the county may consider funding items #3 and #4 the cost of the project, the installation of the accessible door buttons and additional sidewalk. Preliminary estimates for this part of the work are $10,000, with further investigation we hope we can reduce this number. Due to the time of year we do not anticipate starting this work until spring at the earliest. In summary at this time we are asking Frontenac County Council to consider setting aside up to $10,000 in the 2019 budget to assist the Central Frontenac Housing Corporation with improvements for accessibility and safety.

Good Morning Council, staff and distinguished guests. Today marks the end of our last four-year term and the beginning of our next four-year term of Frontenac County Council. I would like to thank the last term of Council for working together effectively, Inaugural Meeting of Council Minutes December 19, 2018

AGENDA ITEM #b)
efficiently and collaboratively to accomplish our many successes over the last four years. I would like to welcome to Council the three returning Mayors to County Council, Mayor Smith, Mayor Doyle and Mayor Vandewal and I congratulate you on your acclamations and your successful campaigns. I also want to congratulate and welcome our new County of Frontenac Council members, Councillor MacDonald from Central, Councillor Higgs from the Islands, Councillor Revill from South and Councillor Martin from North. The County The County of Frontenac was established in 1865 and has over 150 years of history providing high quality services to the residents of Frontenac County. The County is focused on continuous improvement and is consistently seeking better ways of conducting business and sharing services to ensure value to the ratepayer. Under the guidance of Kevin Farrell, our Manager of Continuous Improvement, the County utilizes the LEAN Six Sigma methodology to accomplish this. LEAN is used to assess and improve organizational processes and to identify efficiencies and reduce costs in support of our corporate priority projects. We currently have 20 employees on our Lean Implementation Frontenac Team (LIFT). Of that we have 2 that are close to achieving their black belt, we have 8 green belts and 10 yellow belts with 82 employees taking part in at least one LEAN project. Through these efforts we have realized significant time and operational cost savings of which we expect to see the numbers early in the New Year. The County of Frontenac is also a member of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) which is a group of Wardens from eleven Eastern Ontario Counties and two single-tier Municipalities who work diligently with our Provincial and Federal Governments in addressing pressing issues and promoting our region. The Caucus works to improve the wellbeing of the Eastern Ontario Region by engaging with our local politicians and residents and fostering cooperation at all levels of government. The EOWC is a highly respected Caucus by both the Federal and Provincial Governments. The services Frontenac County provide include:
Fairmount Home, an accredited 128 bed long term care facility; Frontenac Paramedic Services providing land ambulance service to over 150,000 residents within the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston; Marine Services provides a County run ferry service from the mainland to Howe Island and runs 24/7/365; Planning Services, responsible for leading and encouraging land use planning that benefits the entire County and maintains our pristine environment; Economic development services to assist with responsible and sustainable economic development and promotion in areas such as Trails, Recreation, Agriculture, Food and Beverage;

AGENDA ITEM #b)
The County liaises with the City of Kingston who is the Consolidated Service Manager for Social Services, Child Care, Social Housing and Homelessness to ensure that County residents have equal and fair access to these services. We also liaise with Kingston for the Kingston Frontenac Public Library (KFPL) of which we have 11 library branches in Frontenac.
County Staff: Our staffing includes the Frontenac Paramedic Services, Long Term Care, Financial, Information Services including IT and GIS, Human Resources, Legislative Services and Administrative. Our staff provides excellent delivery of services on behalf of the County and provides support to the Townships as requested and within the County mandate. Accomplishments Some key accomplishments to hi-lite from the last four years include:
- Fairmount Home marked its 50th anniversary this year;
- Fairmount Home also worked together with staff, volunteers and residents in developing a new brand which was launched this fall;
- The County Official Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in January 2016 which also granted the County to be the approval authority for Township Official Plans;
- Implemented a Planning Advisory Committee to assist the County and Townships with solid planning processes and methodologies;
- Accessibility Services program in place; a. Providing accessible customer service to persons with disabilities; b. Removing barriers for people with disabilities; c. Ensuring that no new barriers are created.
- We have in place a Sustainability Action Plan, called Directions for Our Future. It includes four pillars of sustainability and are the focus throughout the planning process. The four pillars include social, cultural, economic and environmental.
- We completed a Private Roads Study in 2016 which conducted a County-wide assessment of the existing private lanes system to; a. Recommend a planning framework that can be used to best manage these lanes; b. Promote private lane improvements; c. Provide planning policies for township Official Plans to act as a guide for future development on private lanes.
- Developed a Frontenac County Trails Master Plan and nearing completion of the K&P trail from Kingston to Sharbot Lake;
- Developed an Economic Development Charter for the Frontenac’s which saw us: a. Implement the very successful Brand Ambassador Program to stimulate economic development; b. Develop a new County brand; c. Organize many highly attended events aimed at promoting the Frontenac’s;
- Between Kingston and the County, we have a 10-Year Municipal Housing & Homelessness Plan in place;

AGENDA ITEM #b)
- We have an Age-Friendly Community Action Plan in place;
- Developed a highly successful social media program;
- Currently implementing a senior’s housing program across all four Townships with the Islands recently completing theirs, Challenges We are in the process of completing a strategic planning exercise to identify our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats which will help us identify our key goals for our upcoming term of office. From my own personal view, I see the following challenges and a need to continue the following projects. a. Through the EOWC we need to finalize the very important cell gap and broadband project which is shovel ready and we would love to start this project in 2019. This is the one key item that will address most of our economic and safety concerns in Eastern Ontario and especially in the remote sections of Renfrew, Addington, Hastings, Lanark and Frontenac counties; b. In the spring we will complete the last short stretches of the K&P trail from Kingston to Sharbot Lake; c. We will need to develop a plan to provide the last link in the K&P trail from Sharbot Lake through North Frontenac to Calabogie the final link to the Trans-Canada trails system; d. Over the next term we hope to complete the senior’s housing project for the four Townships; e. Continue to identify a solution for a new administration building; f. We need to somehow address the high rate of absenteeism for FPS, Fairmont and Marine Services unionized workers. There have been some small gains here, but this one issue alone is costing the County close to ¾ of a million dollars over budget year over year and prevents us from keeping our costs at or below the annual rate of inflation. As of our last Council meeting in November, for FPS and Fairmont Home we have incurred an absenteeism cost of ~$544K over budget as of the end of August this year. Possible Issues I have identified several items that may or may not be an issue over the next four years, but they are ones we need to be cognizant of when we work on our strategic directions for the next four years: a. As I said in my North Frontenac Mayor’s inaugural address, the recent restructuring of Toronto Council is an item that I personally believe will expand to all municipalities across the Province and if it happens it would need to be in place before the next provincial election. Nothing has been communicated to me that this may happen, but to me it is obvious that the last amalgamation is not working the way it was intended and does not reflect the needs of some municipalities today. I believe we should be thinking about this challenge now to ensure we are proactive and ready in the event the Province mandates a restructuring;

AGENDA ITEM #b)
b. Recruitment and retention of staff may be an issue that could have a negative impact on sustainability. In a recent draft report by the Eastern Ontario Leadership Council it states that in Eastern Ontario, excluding cities, for every worker that entered the workforce 135 have left. From the Provincial aspect for every worker who entered the workforce, 1.5 have left. The point being the workforce is being depleted and it is only going to get worse as the retirement of baby boomers kicks into high gear which is starting now, or we get into an economic boom which will further put demand on a shrinking workforce. To acquire skilled staff going forward is going to be a costly venture if we get skilled staff at all. To avoid additional costs, and a gap in skilled resources, we need to ensure we have a strong succession plan in place to be able to continue to invest in our current staff and increase their skill level, to ensure employee retention and to ensure smooth succession as our employees leave. To me this is the best option to ensure ongoing sustainability, provide a positive work environment for staff and to provide ongoing high-quality service delivery to our community. Other key items this Council will need to consider include;
The rationalization of Paramedic stations with a view towards optimizing service delivery and physical foot print; Looking at the future of long-term care in the County: o Expansion at current site; o Facilities in the north portions of the County; o Or do nothing; Continue the focus on the future of the Economic Development Charter: o Increasing tourism services; o Trails management; o Active transportation; Continue to identify shared service opportunities; Develop a robust transportation services solution for seniors and those in need; Include Green Energy policies for future planning; Strengthen our Regional Community Improvement Plan(s); Put a renewed focus on rural healthcare.
Thank You As I mentioned in my opening comments I wish to express a very sincere thank you to the past Council. The last Council worked hard over the last four years and have implemented solid long-term plans which this Council can build from. A very special thanks to all staff who have worked hard at providing services to the public, shared services to the Townships and worked hard at implementing the policy directions of Council. For me personally I would like to give special thanks to our CAO Kelly Pender who works tirelessly to find solutions, develop innovative ways to work together and misses many a night’s sleep working on major issues as they arise. Kelly always provides Council with detailed analysis, factual data and options for Council to consider. His

AGENDA ITEM #b)
attention to detail provides our Council with the information we need in order to make an informed and educated decision. I also want to give special thanks to our Clerk Jannette Amini who has provided myself and other Council members with expert guidance and support which allows us to focus on our role at the Council table. Jannette recently asked me if there is anything that could be done to improve the Council proceedings heading into this term. I had to think long and hard on that one and had to resort to the fact that her processes are perfect the way they are. Apparently, from what I hear Jannette has been trying to tell Kelly that for several years now. Deputy Warden Doyle, I want to thank you for supporting me in my role as Warden when I could not attend some functions over the last year and for always offering your support where you could. And thank you to all Managers and your staff for providing great services to our community, for the great reports at our meetings and for gathering information as requested by Council. We have many volunteers in the County and I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and thanks for the huge commitment our volunteers make to our community at large. For members of the Public we all thank you all for your input and hope to continue forging strong and collaborative relationships going forward. And for all our Stakeholders we work with we appreciate your collaboration and look forward to a continued effective working relationship. Some key stakeholders include our Provincial and Federal governments, City of Kingston, Community Services, Community Futures Development Corporation, members of the EOWC, our Four Townships, and Conservation Authorities. I would also like to thank the families of the members of Council. Many times, we have had to attend a meeting or function that may impact our family obligations at night or on weekends. We thank you for taking calls and messages when we are not there. Without your understanding and support we would not be able to perform our jobs as effectively, and for this we say thanks. With that, I want to say thanks again to everyone for the last four years and thank Council for electing me to the position of Warden this year. I will continue to work hard at making our County a destination of choice community, and one that we can continue to be proud of to work, to live and to play in. Greetings from the Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing MPP Randy Hillier read a messaged from the Honourable Steve Clark who was unable to attend the meeting given the emergency recall of the Legislative Assembly this week.

Summary—Insights A primary goal of brand building and communication efforts should be shifting the current perception of “ambulance driver” to “paramedic”. This shift in perception would educate the public in terms of using paramedic services more appropriately and build affinity. The strategic plan mission/vision and the brand idea should be patient-focused. Currently it is too focused on quantifiable measures like “meets and exceeds objective and measurable standards”. This language perpetuates the limited perception of paramedics’ role. The factor that distinguishes paramedics from all other first responders is they only respond to calls involving people.

Re:
Emergency and Transportation Services – Frontenac Paramedic Services – Brand Identity
Recommendation Whereas the County of Frontenac brand identity was approved in 2016 and Frontenac Paramedic Services requires a branding strategy to establish its own unique identity; Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac accept the Emergency and Transportation Services, Frontenac Paramedic Services Brand Identity report; And Further That Council direct staff to implement the Frontenac Paramedic Services brand identity and design in the operations of the paramedic service. Background The County of Frontenac’s brand identity was established in 2016. It was determined that Fairmount Home (Fairmount) and Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS) both require a rebranding strategy to establish their own unique identities in order to maximize recognition, recall and trust. A request for proposals (RFP) for brand identity was issued on August 21, 2017. Jon Allison Design and Avenue Strategy were the successful consultants for the rebranding of both Fairmount and FPS. Comment In April and May 2018, Avenue Strategy (Kathleen Vollebregt) and Jon Allison Design (Jon Allison) presented the brand idea to paramedic staff during Continuing Medical

Re:
Emergency and Transportation Services – Frontenac Paramedic Services – Station Locations in the West end of Kingston
Recommendation Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac accept the Emergency and Transportation Services – Frontenac Paramedic Services – Station Locations in the West of Kingston report for information; And Further That the Council of the County of Frontenac directs staff to negotiate with the City of Kingston for a lease agreement at the location of the Woodbine Road Fire Station at 905 Woodbine Road, Kingston, ON And Further That the Council of the County of Frontenac directs staff to work with local commercial real estate agents to identify options for development of a new station in the designated area. Background On October 9, 2018 we received notification from the new owner and landlord Kingston Progress & Innovation Inc. of the building we currently lease at 666 Justus Drive, “This letter is to formally confirm that your lease will not be renewed, and we expect you to vacate the Unit #2 of 666 Justus Drive, Kingston by December 31 st 2019.” In September 2006 the IBI study “Strategic Review of Ambulance Station Options in the City of Kingston” recommended the following:
Page 130 of 149 Services Future Paramedic Station … 2019-003 Emergency and Transportation
AGENDA ITEM #c)
“In addition, based on the residential development information shown, the provision of additional ambulance coverage for the following area is likely to warrant consideration within about 5+ years: area between Princess Street (Highway 2) and Highway 401, from Sydenham Road to Collins Creek. In this regard it is recommended that FPS should annually review the future growth in ambulance call volumes originating within this area.” “Additional station (2,700 sq. ft.) to be constructed to serve the area bounded by Princess Street (Highway 2), Highway 401, Sydenham Road and Collins Creek”. Comment Prior to the notification to vacate 666 Justus Drive, County staff was working with City of Kingston Fire & Rescue Services staff for a possible co-location project at the fire hall located at Woodbine Avenue and Bayridge Drive as part of implementation of the 2006 IBI Study recommendations. To ensure we are optimizing the best station locations, we have engaged Operational Research in Health Limited (ORH) to do computer aided response mapping. ORH has done similar work for the County of Peterborough, County of Middlesex, County of Wellington and the Region of York. The purpose of this research was to confirm the best geographic locations for stations within the west end of Kingston based upon historical response data. The recommendation for two stations in the west end is based on several factors:
Increase in coverage area due to new residential construction
Airport expansion and anticipated commercial development
Increase in seniors housing in
Increased call volumes in the west end

AGENDA ITEM #c)
County staff is now exploring the following options:
- County to purchase land and owner build;
- County to purchase and have design build;
- Enter into a 3PPP proposal with a long term lease.
Sustainability Implications Goal #3 of the County’s Strategic Plan is respect for the taxpayer. Recognizing that there is only one ratepayer that bears the burden of property taxes and further that ongoing spending control is a priority, Council will develop a long term paramedic station plan that is sustainable and to support continued efforts to rationalize costs across the Townships, City of Kingston and the County.
