Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail
Recommendation Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail report; And Further That the Clerk be directed to introduce a by-law later in the meeting to authorize an application to Approve the Expropriation of Lands for the purposes of the K&P Trail. Background In 2020, Phase 5 of the Frontenac K&P Trail was completed from Sharbot Lake to Clarendon Station, reaching a total of approximately 70 kilometres of developed trail in Frontenac County. As per County Council direction earlier this year, staff are now in the process of acquiring land for Phase 6 of development between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. Most of this development will take place within the Township of North Frontenac. Council has been updated on a number of occasions on the progress of land negotiations and have authorized, by by-law, a majority of the purchases required; however three (3) properties have been identified as difficult and require expropriation. Section 6(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that the power of a municipality to acquire land includes the power to expropriate in accordance with the Expropriations Act.

AGENDA ITEM #a)
Comment The County’s efforts to purchase three sections of privately owned lands at market value for the purpose of connecting the Frontenac K&P Trail have been unsuccessful and staff have determined that it is now necessary and in the public interest to apply for approval to expropriate these private lands. The purpose of acquiring these three parcels of land is to link two sections of the Frontenac K&P Trail and thereby ensure its continued longterm viability as a public trail within the Frontenac County Trail System in accordance with the County of Frontenac Trails Master Plan. Before an expropriation can occur, the Expropriating Authority must make an application to the Approval Authority for approval to expropriate land. In some cases, as is the case with the County of Frontenac, the Expropriating Authority and the Approval Authority are the same entity. Section 5(1) of the Expropriation Act states that: Approving authority 5 (1) Subject to subsections (4), (5) and (6), the approving authority in respect of an expropriation shall be the Minister responsible for the administration of the Act in which the power to expropriate is granted, except that, (a) where a municipality or a local board thereof, other than an elected school board, expropriates lands for municipal purposes, the approving authority shall be the council of the municipality. Pursuant to Section 6(1) of the Expropriations Act, upon applying for approval, a Notice of Intention for approval to expropriate must be served on each registered owner. The Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate must also be published in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. Once the landowner receives a Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate they have 30 days in which to exercise the option of requesting a Hearing of Necessity. A Notice of Possession indicating the date on which the expropriating authority requires possession of the lands, and a Notice of Election, which permits the owner to select one of three dates upon which compensation for the lands expropriated will be based are also required. The purpose of this report is to seek from the Approval Authority (that being County Council) approval to expropriate three (3) parcels of land being legally described as: a. Part of Lots 2 and Lot 3, Concession 8, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0002 and PIN 36209-0011 b. Part of Lot 3, Concession 8, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0010 c. Part of Lots 4 and 5, Concession 9, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0020 SRO (LT) Upon approval, staff, in consultation with the County’s solicitors will commence the expropriation process.

AGENDA ITEM #a)
Sustainability Implications Priority 2.1: To meet the needs of future capital projects, explore new sources of funding support (current and future programs), cost-sharing options and other potential economies. Priority 3.1: Work with the townships, other municipalities and levels of government on broad infrastructure issues — ranging from environmental concerns to regional transportation strategies for residential, social and economic purposes, and access to funding. Financial Implications There is the presumption of full compensation for all losses caused by an expropriation. The Expropriations Act provides for the following with respect to costs afforded the landowner: Compensation 13 (1) Where land is expropriated, the expropriating authority shall pay the owner such compensation as is determined in accordance with this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 13 (1). Idem (2) Where the land of an owner is expropriated, the compensation payable to the owner shall be based upon, (a) the market value of the land; (b) the damages attributable to disturbance; (c) damages for injurious affection; and (d) any special difficulties in relocation, but, where the market value is based upon a use of the land other than the existing use, no compensation shall be paid under clause (b) for damages attributable to disturbance that would have been incurred by the owner in using the land for such other use. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 13 (2). Market value 14 (1) The market value of land expropriated is the amount that the land might be expected to realize if sold in the open market by a willing seller to a willing buyer. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 14 (1).
Based on survey and appraisal reports performed on behalf of the County to date, the market value of the lands falls within the parameters of negotiation authorized by Council at its March 2016 meeting. Appraisal and expropriation plan fees for the properties are estimated to total $7,500.

Minister to notify council of appointment (4) The Minister shall notify the council of the appointment in writing and the treasurer of the municipality shall pay the remuneration or other compensation so fixed to the area weed inspector. In May of 1998, the County of Frontenac appointed Ken Gilpin as the County’s Weed Inspector and entered into an Agreement with Mr. Gilpin for the provision of those services. Mr. Gilpin held this position until his retirement earlier this year. Upon his retirement, Mr. Gilpin turned his Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement (FMLE) Business over to Lianne Ruttan. Staff reached out to Ms. Ruttan regarding the contract that the County held with Mr. Gilpin to solicit her interest in continuing on as the County’s weed inspector, however she had informed staff that currently FMLE has no one on staff that has the training to carry out weed inspections and unfortunately during the pandemic has not been able to do so.

Corporate Services – Change in Funding Model for Rent Assistance Program
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Corporate Services – Consideration of Providing a Rent Assistance Program report; And Further That the unbudgeted amount of $7,092 as part of the year end reconciliation in 2022 for a separate rent supplement program be funded from the Social Housing Out of Scope Reserve; And Further That staff be directed to bring forward to the 2023 budget deliberations, the potential for the County of Frontenac to support 2 additional rent assistance subsidies in the County of Frontenac. Background The City of Kingston is the Consolidated Municipal Service Manager (CMSM) for housing and homelessness programs for the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac and allocates funding to a variety of programs, including: ➢ Rent Supplement Program ➢ Kingston Frontenac Renovates Program ➢ Capital funding towards the construction of new affordable housing units ➢ Homeownership Program (down-payment assistance) In terms of the Rent Supplement Program, there are currently 3 programs available to residents, both in the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac, those being: Portable Housing Benefits – These are portable subsidies offered to individuals off the centralized waiting list through the City’s Registry office. Applicants can take the subsidy

and apply it to any rental within the City of Kingston or the County of Frontenac as it is part of the City’s mandated 2,003 units as the Service Manager. There are currently 6 within the County and the program is administered by Kingston Frontenac Housing Corporation (KFHC). Regular Rent Supplement Program – These are subsidies tied to a unit and are part of the City’s mandated 2,003 Rent Geared to Income (RGI) units. There are currently 3 in the County and the program is administered by the Kingston Frontenac Housing Corporation (KFHC). Rent Assistance – This is another rent supplement program offered as part of the City’s Housing First programming and there are currently 2 subsidies in the County within the program that were originally funded by provincial dollars. The City of Kingston, through the Housing and Social Services Department, has a Service Standard for the Rent Assistance Programs that outlines the requirements that must be met in the delivery of programs and services under the Kingston/Frontenac Housing and Homelessness Services System. It serves as a reference when developing in-house policies and procedures to ensure that compliance is achieved, with a rationale that Creative strategies to offset rental costs are required to assist client households in the Housing First/Rapid Re-housing Program (HF/RRH) experiencing the deepest and most chronic need to secure and maintain permanent housing. To this end, the Service Manager has created the Rent Assistance Program to provide a contribution towards rent to eligible client households in the HF/RRH Program. The rental contribution aims to reduce financial barriers for client households who have been unsuccessful in their housing search. The Rent Assistance Program has a transparent and rigorous protocol ensuring those most in need and prioritized locally have access to the limited funds in the Rent Assistance Program. Comment The Rent Assistance program has now changed. Originally funded by the province for the past 7 years, the program switched to municipal funding on April 1, 2021, with 2 subsidies located in the County. While the City absorbed all program costs for 2021 when the subsidy program changed, they have informed the County that they will be passing along its proportion of the costs beginning in 2022. The program was originally part of the provincial Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) funding which is geared more towards a permanent subsidy to secure affordable housing. Under the Local Services Realignment agreement, program costs are apportioned based on the actual net cost based on geographic area. Staff received confirmation that the City will be charging back to the County, $7,092 as part of the year end reconciliation in 2022 for this separate rent supplement program. This charge will be an ongoing cost so long as the clients remain in the County. Staff are recommending that this unbudgeted amount of $7,092 be funded in 2022 from the Social Housing out of Scope Reserve. This amount will be included in annual budgets moving forward. In terms of the program itself, moving forward, new applications to the Rent Assistance subsidy criteria have changed and the subsidy is only approved for 1 year, depending Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Appointment of a Weed Inspector for the County of Frontenac March 16, 2022

AGENDA ITEM #c)
on the budget. Rent assistance is meant to be temporary and the Housing-Based Case Manager works with clients to increase income and/or secure housing that can be sustained over the long term. Under the Rent Assistance Program, a funding commitment is provided to the client household for a specified duration at a specified address. If changes occur to the number of household members or household income of a client household while living at this address, eligibility for Rent Assistance and/or the amount of Rent Assistance provided could be affected. The principles guiding the Rent Assistance Program recognize that many clients will secure housing without Rent Assistance, and this should always be the first strategy applied, as funds are finite and must be used strategically to assist as many HF/RRH client households as possible in securing and maintain housing. Access to and the amount of Rent Assistance provided varies based on the level of need and local priorities and the Rent Assistance amount provided is a contribution towards rent and may not fully bridge the gap between the market rent for the unit and the client household’s portion of rent. The Rent Assistance Program uses the Occupancy Standards that apply to rent geared to income (RGI) housing to determine the size and type of unit for which a household receiving Rent Assistance is eligible. This determines the maximum market rent applicable for the client household which is then applied to determine the maximum amount of subsidy available for that client household. In all situations, Rent Assistance funding is subject to regular reviews to determine on-going eligibility and/or level of funding for that household In its 2022 budget deliberations, the City of Kingston approved an additional 10 subsidies this year, but of course given these are now municipally funded, these subsidies would only be available to City residents. The City has reached out to the County to ask if it would also wish to offer subsidies in the County to County residents. Since the program has been running (albeit through Provincial funding) for a few years now, there has only been two individuals in the County so it is likely that there would not be a big uptake, but it does offer County residents the choice and the County would only be billed once a subsidy is accepted. Should the County opt to support this program, it would be County residents that would receive the subsidy to allow them to continue to reside in the County. The County of Frontenac would be directly paying for the costs of the subsidies used within the County. The County also has the ability to cap the number of rent subsidies it supports per year. To provide Council with an estimate on potential dollar amounts, the amount of the subsidy is calculated based on the person’s income and cost of rent. The subsidy can range anywhere from $76/month to $1500/month for a family. An average subsidy would be around $450/month, or $5,400/year. The location of the subsidy can also be identified with the option for the County to charge the subsidy back to the Township where the tenant resides. The County would be liable for its portion of the subsidy whether it was granted to County citizens at the low or high end of the range.

Office of the Chief Administrative Officer - Report to Frontenac Townships on Family Physician Recruitment
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer - Report to Frontenac Townships on Family Physician Recruitment report for information; And Further That Council authorize the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer to investigate options and bring the matter to the attention of the Province of Ontario and the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. Background The recent and ongoing pandemic have put incredible strain on all aspects of our health care system exposing its pre-existing weaknesses. During this time, it has become clear the important role that primary care plays in both maintaining the health of the population, treating illness, and caring for people at home to keep them out of our overburdened ER’s, hospitals and Long-Term Care homes. There are local concerns regarding access to comprehensive primary care within the larger Frontenac Lennox and Addington Ontario Health Team (FLA OHT) region and locally within Frontenac townships. Comment On March 2, 2022, the Warden and Councillor Smith attended a meeting with the Rural Kingston Family Health Organization (RKFHO) on the Recruitment discussion with Frontenac Townships, with a focus on aspects specific to South, Central and North Frontenac.
Page of 61 2022-029 Office of the Chief44 Administrative Officer Report to Frontenac …
AGENDA ITEM #d)
The RKFHO includes five rural clinics, some within Frontenac and some in Stone Mills. A FHO is a family physician funding model where physicians are paid primarily on a capitation basis for each rostered patient, with most patients rostered. Each physician may have a smaller number (about 5-10% roughly) who are not rostered, and the physician is paid a fee for service for these patients. These numbers are derived from searches in the RKFHO’s electronic medical record based on rostered patients. It is fastest to search on postal code, so they do not align exactly with township or municipal boundaries but provide a rough geographic distribution of patient location by clinic. A search was performed a few years ago and again recently and it was noticed that the number of Kingston patients in our rural practices have increased over that time. Some key statistics from a 2020 report prepared by the City of Kingston indicate a dire family physician shortage. This is highly relevant as almost 20,000 patients from Frontenac townships receive their care outside the townships, many in Kingston. • •
• •
Kingston has almost 29,000 unattached patients Out of 295 family physicians listed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Kingston, only 139 are actively practicing comprehensive family medicine. The others are teaching, doing research, sub-specialties, or other activities. Approximately 26% of patients cared for by family physicians in Kingston live outside of Kingston. Twenty-one family physicians in Kingston (with average patient rosters of 1230 patients) plan to retire within the next 3-5 years. If these physicians are not replaced, they would orphan a total of 25,830 patients, with 26% or 6,725 patients living outside of Kingston. It is likely that many of these are from Frontenac, and we may face 1000’s of extra patients requiring care in the next few years.
In summary, within the Rural Kingston FHO, there are 6 available FHO spots that could be filled if physicians could be recruited. There is a current shortage of family physicians within the region which is expected to become worse with impending retirements. There are two clinics within our region with only one physician with rostered patients which is a highly unstable and unsustainable situation, as a car accident, severe illness, burnout, or retirement could easily lead to these clinics closing. Access to local primary care is important for communities to stay healthy and vibrant. These clinics are also important sources of local employment and provide referrals to support other local businesses including pharmacies and physiotherapy. The Frontenac region is a wonderful place to live and work with much to promote to prospective physicians as it is surrounded by areas which are providing support to physicians in terms of human resource planning, recruitment assistance, and financial incentives. The RKFHO has good relationships with the physicians in all of the surrounding areas and recognize that a physician recruited to any part of the OHT geography is beneficial. The RKFHO does not wish to enter into competitions but does feel that it needs to be doing its part to assist recruitment to the whole OHT and Frontenac townships in particular. It needs to be able to offer similar supports in order to attract physicians. The local family physicians look forward to discussing with the local municipalities how we can partner together and with other local stakeholders to promote our wonderful Recommend Report to Council Office of the Chief Administrative Officer - Report to Frontenac Townships on Family Physician Recruitment March 16, 2022 Page 2 of 3

boundary with Lanark County. Most of this development will take place within the Township of North Frontenac. County Council has been updated regularly on the details associated with land acquisition moving north and have provided direction to staff in terms of negotiations with private landowners and the process of negotiation is complete, or close to complete for most properties. Comment Of the twelve total properties, a final agreement of purchase and sale has been reached with one property owner and staff are in the process of negotiating a final agreement of purchase and sale with a second property. Negotiations have begun regarding another seven properties, with meetings scheduled during the month of April. A separate report is being considered by Council regarding authorization for an application to Approve the Expropriation of Lands for an additional three properties with whom negotiations have not been successful. Strategic Priority Implications Priority 2.1: To meet the needs of future capital projects, explore new sources of funding support (current and future programs), cost-sharing options and other potential economies. Priority 3.1: Work with the townships, other municipalities, and levels of government on broad infrastructure issues — ranging from environmental concerns to regional transportation strategies for residential, social, and economic purposes, and access to funding. Financial Implications The cost of this purchase agreement is consistent with the appraised value of the property. The cost for the acquisition of all twelve properties is expected to remain within the established budget envelope for this project.

Most residents have received their 4th dose of the COVID-19 vaccine while some residents are not due until March 2022. As of April 2022, all residents who have provided consent will have received their 4th dose. Eight rooms on the Lilac Terrace home area have been designated as a temporary isolation area, that will provide a private isolation space for residents as opposed to the auditorium. The Ministry of Long-Term Care (MLTC) has confirmed these isolation rooms will not impact the occupancy rate used in the calculation of the home’s provincial fund subsidy. Eight rooms have been designated for isolation since April 2020 as communicated to the MLTC and the LHIN in a letter issued by the County. We are pleased to welcome our Assistant Director of Care for Infection Prevention & Control, Breanne Marshall started on February 7,2022. Staff are working diligently on the implementation plans for the replacement of the nursing electronic health record system to Point Click Care. The project team continues to build the system, transfer resident data and train the staff. Additional music therapy has been implemented using auxiliary funds for 2022 as approved by donor, Kathy Rodgers. Social absences have resumed for residents that have received 3 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine Temporary wall and double doors were installed on Lilac Terrace for new isolation area. Awaiting a quote for installation of permanent fire doors on the north side of the building. Investigating options for no touch dispensers for paper towel and soap, as well as motion censored lighting as an infection prevention measure. The water treatment service has been awarded to MK Services and Consulting with the change resulting in an annual savings of $1,400 for the same service level.
