Recommend Report to Council Office of the CAO – Marine Services Passenger Code of Conduct October 16, 2024

Page 2 of 4

Background The Council of the County of Frontenac, through an Agreement with the Ministry of Transportation, is responsible for the operation of the Howe Islander Ferry, with MTO being the owner of the vessel. As a result, both parties have a mutual interest in the safe and efficient operation of the Howe Islander Ferry. MTO has in place a Passenger Code of Conduct and Conditions of Carriage for the Glenora and Wolfe Island ferries which it both owns and operates. At its September 21, 2022, regular meeting, County Council passed By-law 2022-0032, a by-law to Regulate the Use of the Frontenac-Howe Islander Ferry. The by-law addressed certain issues around the lawful use by a vehicle on the ferry, meant to enforce the County’s fees and fares by-law with respect to carriage of vehicles on the ferry. At the time, the by-law did not address passenger behaviours. Comment In order to bring By-law 2022-0032 in line with those policies of the MTO, staff are recommending an amendment to the by-law to include a passenger Code of Conduct. Adding a passenger Code of Conduct to the by-law, as opposed to making it a policy, allows the County to carry out enforcement of any provisions that are in contravention of the by-law. The Occupational Health and Safety Act, requires an employer to develop policies and processes to protect employees from workplace violence and harassment. While policies and procedures are already in place, this aims to further protect passengers and County employees. The goal of these amendments is to define behaviour that may negatively impact the experience of others or creates unsafe conditions, and how these behaviours will be addressed when it occurs on the Howe Island Ferry, and to promote a safe, healthy, respectful, and positive environment for members of the public and staff. This is meant to address potential inappropriate or harassing behaviours and would fall in line with current County policies as well as with the ferry policies of the MTO. The County’s primary concern is the safety of members of the public, and staff when on the Howe Island Ferry. Staff and members of the public are not expected to put themselves at risk or jeopardize their safety or that of others, when dealing with any perceived or real threatening situation. The proposed addition to section 5 of the by-law – Passenger Code of Conduct is in line with that of MTO’s Code of conduct and conditions of carriage for Glenora and Wolfe Island ferries; however, recognizing that MTO operates much larger vessels with passenger seating areas, some sections of MTO’s policy do not apply to the County operated Howe Island Ferry and as such, have not been included.

Corporate Services – Amendments to Procedural By-law 20220026 to delete Schedule B-5, Procedural By-law Review Committee and to establish a new Schedule B-5, Governance Policies Review Committee

Recommendation Be It Resolved That Procedural By-law 2022-0026, as amended, be further amended to delete Schedule B-5 – Procedural By-law Review Committee; And Further That a new Schedule B-5 – Governance Policies Review Committee be added, attached to this report as Appendix A And Further That the following members of Council be appointed to the Governance Policies Review Committee for the term ending November 15, 2026:

Councillor
Councillor
Councillor
Councillor Background Subsection 238 (2) of The Municipal Act, 2001, provides that every municipality and local board shall pass a procedure by-law for governing the calling, place and proceedings of meetings. There is little prescription in Section 238, leaving it to Council’s discretion of the By-laws contents, providing that any provisions in the by-law does not contravene any sections of the Municipal Act itself. The County’s Procedural By-law, which underwent a comprehensive review in 2021, contains a number of Schedules which establish and mandate the various committees of

46Amendments of 79 2024-104 Corporate Page Services to Procedural By-law 2022-0026 to…

Council. These Committees provide recommendations and advice to Council and County staff on a wide range of topics. Committee mandates focus on a specific area of business and are an important part in the corporate decision-making process by providing a means to receive the views and advice from residents and stakeholders on a variety of matters that contribute to the development of policies, programs and initiatives that enhance the life of County residents and visitors. As opposed to formal Council meetings, Committees provide for a less formal, discussion-oriented meeting prior to being given final approval at a subsequent Council meeting. Comment The Clerk’s Office is in the process of conducting a mid-term review of the County’s governance policies as follows:

Procedural By-law
Sale and Disposition of Land
Delegation of Authority
Accountability and Transparency
Public Notice Some of these policies, specifically, the Sale and Disposition of Land and the Delegation of Authority, will be receiving some significant overhauls and will require some significant discussions at the political table. As such, staff feel that all of these policies would benefit from going to a committee first to allow some in-depth discussion, with final recommendations going to full Council. County Council established a Procedure By-law Review Committee in December 2020 to conduct a comprehensive review of the previous Procedural By-law, to develop simplified and streamlined processes and procedures, easier access to documentation while recognizing legislative requirements, access and transparency. The Committee was established as Council required a document that members of Council can both understand and work with as this is Council’s Procedural By-law that governs its meetings. It was opted by the previous Council to keep this Committee in the Procedural By-law for the purposes of undertaking periodic reviews during each term of Council. Although the Procedural By-law is a by-law that governs Council itself, and as such it should be Council that provides the review and input, Section 270 of the Municipal Act also includes a number of other polices that Council is mandated to maintain, those being:

Its sale and other disposition of land.

Its hiring of employees.

2.1 The relationship between members of council and the officers and employees of the municipality. 3.

Its procurement of goods and services.

Recommendation Whereas County Staff have determined that expropriation of these lands is necessary for the purpose of linking two sections of the Frontenac K&P Trail for the reason of ensuring its continued long-term viability as a public trail within the Frontenac County Trail System; And Whereas the property owner at Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation has withdrawn their request for a hearing of necessity, and that the previously scheduled hearing regarding the planned taking at the property has been cancelled by the Ontario Land Tribunal; Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Approval of the Application to Expropriate Lands for the Purposed of the K&P Trail at Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081; And Further That County Council approve the expropriation of the lands legally described as Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081;

And Further That the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to execute the Certificate of Approval in the prescribed form pursuant to section 8(3) of the Expropriations Act R.S.O 1990. Background 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 may wish 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 to complete the process. At its regular meeting on June 21, 2023, the Council of the County of Frontenac authorized an application to expropriate lands for the purposes of the K&P Trail, specific to four properties located in the Township of North Frontenac. A negotiated deal was reached in one case but the owners of three properties requested Hearings of Necessity with the Ontario Land Tribunal: a. Hearing completed on April 19, 2024: Part of Lots 11 and 12, Concession 10, in the Township of Palmerston (now the Township of North Frontenac), being Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation, being part of PIN 36211-0083. On June 19, 2023, County Council approved the expropriation of a permanent easement over this property. b. Part of Lot 11, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, (now the Township of North Frontenac), being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0087.

Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081. Hearing dates were set for July 22 and subsequently August 15. The hearing request from the property owner was formally withdrawn on August 12, and now County Council can proceed with approval of the expropriation. Comment As the request for a Hearing of Necessity has been withdrawn for the property identified as Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081. County Council may now proceed with approval of the request to expropriate. The purpose of this report is to seek from the Approval Authority (that being County Council) approval to expropriate the lands being legally described as: Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, being Part 1 on the Draft Plan of Expropriation and being part of PIN 36211-0081. Upon approval, staff, in consultation with the County’s solicitors will commence the expropriation process. Staff are satisfied that the process Council followed in order to serve its intention to expropriate meets the requirements of the Act and this property is required in order for the County to continue with Phase 6 of development of the K&P Trail between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. It is the recommendation of this report that Council affirm its decision to certify its approval of the expropriation of these lands. Strategic Priorities Priority 1 1.2

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 land falls within the parameters of negotiation authorized by Council at its March 2016 meeting.

Comment Frontenac Paramedics continues to see increases in call volume, offload delay, and time on task; all of which will continue to pose challenges for meeting response times. The province is rolling out a new 911 call triaging, decision support tool, and dispatching software called Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS). The Kingston Central Ambulance Communication Centre, which dispatches Frontenac Paramedics, is set to go live with MPDS in February 2025. With this anticipated change, it is an appropriate time to update our RTPP to better reflect the changes in target times for lower acuity calls, which in turn, should allow for more availability of paramedic crews to be available for the highest priority calls that are received.

Frontenac Paramedics – Replacement of Cardiac Monitors and Defibrillators (ZOLL One Program)

Recommendation Be it Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the report Frontenac Paramedics – Replacement of Cardiac Monitors and Defibrillators (ZOLL One Program); And That Council authorize staff to enter into a Lease agreement with ZOLL; And Further That a one-time transfer of 50% of the lease value be taken from the Frontenac Paramedics Joint Capital Reserve. Background The current cardiac monitors and defibrillators (Lifepak-15) have been in use with Frontenac Paramedics since 2018 and are at the end of their service life and require replacement. Frontenac Paramedics are now in a position to switch to a new cardiac monitor and defibrillator (ZOLL) that offers increased clinical benefits to patients, better integrations with Patient Care Records, improved quality monitoring and feedback capabilities. Comment The current Lifepak-15 cardiac monitor and defibrillator is at the end of its service life and will be replaced by the Lifepak-35 cardiac monitor and defibrillator as a new product released by Stryker. The Lifepak-35 is a new device on the market and Stryker has not provided pricing information for this device and it has not been tested on the road with paramedics.

2024-107 Frontenac Paramedics Replacement of Cardiac Monitors and Defibr…Page 57 of 79

Moving to the ZOLL cardiac monitor and defibrillator and the ZOLL One financing program provides increased benefits as noted above as well as a 10-year operating lease option and provides a one-time upgrade to new equipment at or before the fiveyear mark and a worry-free warranty that includes: accidental damage coverage; battery replacement; ECG cable replacement; and onsite preventative maintenance. Other benefits of the ZOLL One financing program include capital budget relief and set payments for the life of the agreement. Strategic Priorities Implications • •

Strengthen quality of life through enhanced service delivery Ensure efficient and responsible financial management of County resources

Financial Implications The Lifepak-15 defibrillators were due for replacement in 2025 and were anticipated to be replaced in 2025 as a capital purchase. However, with the bundled leasing, service contract, and equipment replacement at the 5-year mark under the 10-year Zoll One program, opportunities to reduce the total cost of ownership can be realized by moving the defibrillators to an operating expense.

Years 1-10: $304,906/year each year of 10-year term

Purchase: • • • •

For 2025 implications, moving the lease expense to the operating budget, while removing the service contract, would represent an addition of $222,039, or a $22,528 levy increase on an ongoing basis. As part of the transition, staff are recommending a one-time transfer of 50% of the lease value from the Frontenac Paramedics Joint Capital Reserve of $152,453 in 2025 as the Provincial portion of the lease would only be picked up in the 2026 budget based on our funding agreement for the Land Ambulance Service Grant. Furthermore, moving the expense to operating would allow Council to forgo a proposed 25% increase in contribution to the Frontenac Paramedics Joint Equipment Reserve of $76,224, resulting in a decrease of $15,467 on the County Levy in 2025.

Office of the CAO – Joint Application for Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program

Recommendation Whereas the Township of South Frontenac is applying for funding through the Housing Enabling Core Services stream of the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program; And Whereas the Township of South Frontenac has requested the County be named as a Joint Applicant to support their Road 38 reconstruction project; Therefore, Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac authorize the County to be named as a Joint Applicant on the Housing Enabling Core Services application to the Province; And Further That the County’s financial contribution would come from the transfer of Canada Community Building Fund (CCBF) already allocated to the Township of South Frontenac. Background On August 20th, 2024, the Province of Ontario announced the launch of the new $400 million Housing-Enabling Core Services stream of the $1 billion Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program. The Housing-Enabling Core Servicing stream helps municipalities build, maintain and repair municipal roads, bridges, and culverts. These projects unlock new housing opportunities and ensure communities have safe and reliable roadways and transit infrastructure.

The province encourages joint projects between multiple eligible applicants, where each co-applicant contributes financially to the project. As part of the assessment process, the province gives additional consideration to joint projects that optimize housing outcomes. Each single municipality is allowed to submit one application. If a municipality chooses to submit a joint application with another municipality, the submission would be counted as their single application. Multiple projects that support the same housing development area must be submitted as a joint application. To be eligible for funding, projects must: • • • • • • • •

enable housing development be stand-alone or a component of a larger project include a capital component and may also include pre-construction planning and design work be new construction, rehabilitation/repair, reconstruction or replacement have a clear start and end date be in the process of, or completed, the design and planning phase have not started construction meet all relevant provincial regulatory requirements

Roads and bridges assets (bridges include culverts with a span greater than three metres) are eligible for funding, including: • •

eligible road and bridge projects include any road and bridge asset that is physically connected to a housing development site servicing costs related to the asset(s) funded by the project, including utility relocation

The deadline for applications is October 18, 2024. Comment On September 26, 2024, the CAO of the Township of South Frontenac met with the County CAO and Director of Corporate Services/Treasurer to discuss the merits of a joint application. Given that the County does not have a housing-enabling road or bridge project which is eligible on its own, the request was made that the County consider being named as a joint applicant in support of the Township. The Township of South Frontenac’s plan to undertake road and culvert (OSIM structure) work planned for Road 38 in 2025 aligns well with the requirements of the Housing Enabling Core Servicing program. Road 38 is a main connector from the City of Kingston all the way north to Sharbot Lake.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2024-180

Staff are currently recommending that Council endorse the Road 38 Reconstruction project as the candidate project for the Housing Enabling Core Servicing (HECS) grant program. The project planning is in an advance state of readiness and the project is expected to be shovel ready well ahead of the September 30th, 2025, deadline. The CAO has been in communications with the County CAO in requesting that the County consider being a joint applicant in our application. Having the County as a joint applicant would further strengthen our application and would allow the use of County wide housing and population figures when filling in the application. A component of the application looks at the per household cost as well as future housing potential on a cost per household compared to the grant request. A joint applicant does need to provide a financial incentive. Staff’s request was that the County consider their annual Canada Community-Building Fund transfer to the township as their contribution the project, approximately $517,000, which will ensure there is no financial impact to the County in becoming a joint applicant. A report is being brought forward to County Council on October 16th. Financial Implications The total eligible cost of the project (pre contingency) is $6,327,904.55. Once the grant application factors in the mandatory 25% contingency adjustment the total eligible project will be $7,909,880.69. If the Township is successful under the HECS grant application, the province will fund a maximum of 50% of the eligible project expenses to a maximum of $3,954,940.35. The remaining 50% of the eligible expenses would be funded by the municipality. By the end of 2024, the Township will have dedicated Road 38 funds in reserves totalling $5.4 million.

Planning & Economic Development – County Support for New Floodplain Mapping

Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the report Planning & Economic Development – County Support for New Floodplain Mapping; And That the Council of the County of Frontenac support the request from the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to be part of a partnership to support an update of floodplain mapping, and that the County invest $12,099 as a share of the total project cost; And Further That Council authorize the use of the Sustainability Reserve to offset the County’s portion of the cost of the new floodplain mapping. Background Frontenac County, along with the City of Kingston and the Township of South Frontenac, have been approached by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) to support a project to update flood risk mapping for Collins Creek and Glenvale Creek. Both creeks are located in part in South Frontenac Township. This partnership request is being directed by the launch of the Flood Hazard Mapping and Identification Program (FHMIP), a program coordinated by the federal government (Natural Resources Canada) and the Provincial government (Ministry of Natural Resources).

Comment The funding for this work will be required in 2025. CRCA will lead this project and will hold partner meetings on an ongoing basis to keep the County, South Frontenac, and City of Kingston staff up to date. Work is expected to begin in January 2025 and completed by June 2026. This mapping project will update floodplain maps that are more than forty years old and be more accurate using current technology and recent aerial and LIDAR mapping. The floodplain mapping will help in land use planning decisions by helping reduce risks to people and to property, directing development away from flood prone areas, and provide certainty for developers and property owners.
