- AMO, July 9, 2013 - Correspondence from Judy Dezell, Manager, Canada’s Gas Tax Fund Implementation Re: Gas Tax Indexing. The Government of Canada announced that starting in 2014, the Gas Tax Fund would be indexed at 2% per year in $100 million increments. Since their last update, the Government has passed a formula to do so, and has revealed the national allocation and Ontario’s share. The indexing formula increases the national allocation by 2% per year, but has a ‘rounding’ provision which increases the actual payment only when the calculation passes the next $100 million threshold. This threshold will be met in 2016 and then again in 2018. AMO is working closely with Infrastructure Canada on moving towards a permanency framework and they continue to stress the importance of letting the municipalities know in advance of 2014 allocations for budget purposes. As soon as they know the allocations for 2014 they will inform us. AMO Member Communications:

APPENDIX A The online petition titled “County of Frontenac: STOP the ambulance cuts!”is still active on change.org. As of July 11, 2013 there have been 510 signatures collected. The default message received upon signature of the petition reads: Dear Paul Charbonneau (Chief of Paramedic Services, County of Frontenac), I just signed OPSEU Local 462’s petition “County of Frontenac: STOP the ambulance cuts!” on Change.org. It is our understanding that you want to reduce our ambulance service by 4380 hours per year, despite the fact, that emergency calls INCREASE every year. An emergency is a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action: It is something you can’t reduce by spending less. As residents of this community, we urge you NOT TO REDUCE OUR AMBULANCE SERVICE. It could cost me, or my loved ones, their life. Upon signing the petition, petitioners had the choice to send an email titled “Why I Signed”. In total, 136 “Why I Signed” messages were received. The following two messages have been added since the last meeting:
- “because I had to wait l hour June 21, 2013 laying like a dog on boulevard Old Colony Rd waiting for an ambulance when I fell off my bike Sylvia Barkman
- This is disgusting behaviour from our local government. How dare you put kingston residents in danger by taking away service, when we all know kingston is growing. Reinstate current service and look to add more service as we grow. Joshua Witteveen No new emails were received by staff in correlation to the FPS cutbacks.

County Trivia: Did you know? The Village [of Plevna] bore the name Buckshot until 1 November 1877. The Post Office Department accepted the name Buckshot on a temporary basis. Residents came up with various names and could not agree on any of them. Buckshot was in a state of bloodless civil war when the Post Office Department, in 1877, issued the ultimatum – a new name or the department would name it. Sam Barton Sr suggested the name Plevna (now Pleven) in Bulgaria The name was neutral and could be accepted by all without losing face. -from County of a Thousand Lakes: The History of the County of Frontenac, 1673 - 1973

Administrative Services – Request for Emerald Ash Borer Protection from Federal and Provincial Governments
Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Administrative Services – Request for Emerald Ash Borer Protection from Federal and Provincial Governments report; AND FURTHER THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac endorse the attached Proclamation prepared in part by the Ontario Urban Forest Council that requests financial support to protect some of the ash trees in the region; AND FINALLY THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac authorize the Deputy Clerk to send the County Council resolution to the appropriate federal and provincial authorities.
Background The County received correspondence dated June 24, 2013 from the Ontario Urban Forest Council regarding a recent decision by the Canadian Food and Inspection Agency (CFIA) that they were moving the emerald ash borer (EAB) regulated zones out of southern and eastern Ontario and up to the French River (letter attached as Appendix A). Administrative Report Administrative Services – Request for Emerald Ash Borer Protection from Federal and Provincial Governments July 17, 2013 Page 1 of 4
2013-126 Administrative Services –
Page 78 of 231
AgendaItem#10a)
The emerald ash borer is an insect pest that was introduced from Asia that feeds on and kills ash trees. These insects cut off the flow of water and nutrients within the trees by feeding underneath the bark. All species and sizes of ash trees are susceptible, except for the mountain ash which is not a true ash. If a tree has become infested with EAB, mortality will result, usually within two to three years. The Emerald Ash Borer is a small green insect that feeds on ash trees during its development. By doing so they cause destruction of the majority of these host trees. The damage is usually irreparable before they are noticed on the bark of a tree as the larvae are developed inside the tree. In North America, the beetle was initially discovered in Michigan and southwest Ontario in 2002 and has been spreading eastward, mostly as a result of the movement of firewood. The insect has spread as far east as the City of Ottawa and parts of Quebec. In August, 2012, the CFIA announced that the EAB had been found in Frontenac County at a campground in the Mountain Grove area and established regulations for the movement of ash materials including logs, branches, and wood chips. There are now twenty-seven Counties in Ontario that are under regulation for the movement of ash tree material. At a County Council meeting held on September 19, 2012, a delegation was received from a member of the CFIA to outline the regulations that were put in place in Frontenac County as a result of the discovery of the EAB. Since that time CFIA has determined that because of the wide spread of the EAB they are unable to control it any further through regulation and are withdrawing from southern Ontario. Without any preservation plans in place, it is predicted that the ash tree will be wiped out in southern Ontario from EAB destruction in the next fifteen to twenty years.
Comment The letter and the proposed proclamation received from the Ontario Urban Forest Council are requesting that both the federal and provincial government play a role in preserving the ash tree in the urban areas. The proposed resolution for consideration by County Council as attached in Appendix B has been revised to include rural areas as well, considering that ash trees are also found in villages and hamlets across the Frontenacs, and that rural municipalities cannot afford the cost of preservation programs that are being applied in cities such as Ottawa, Peterborough, and Kingston. The attached resolution requests that both upper levels of government establish programs, including funding assistance to municipalities, for the control and management of the emerald ash borer. The resolution also requests that consideration be given to the creation of funding of programs designed to support the on-going management of forests within rural municipalities and in particular the tree stock that forms part of the character of many villages and hamlets. Currently the only method available to protect healthy ash trees is through the injection of an insecticide known at TreeAzin near the base of the tree.

cost of an injection into a mature ash tree (3 feet diameter) is $200. The cost for removal of a tree from a private property is estimated to cost a minimum of $600 if not done by the homeowner. This indicates that there is a potential cost savings to protect the tree rather than to allow it to become infested.
Sustainability Implications Protection of natural areas is one of the focus areas in Directions for Our Future. It recognizes the County’s rich natural environment and the commitment to stewardship. The ash tree has a significant presence in parts of our landscape and is part of our heritage.

County of Frontenac
June 24, 2013 Dear Ms. Savill, You may be aware that Ontario,. along with many other jurisdictions, is being hit hard by the imported pest Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus plannipennis. It has already killed tens of thousands of ash trees. The Municipal Arborists and Urban Foresters, a Committee of the International Society of Arboriculture and the Ontario Urban Forest Council are working to raise awareness about EAB and the environmental and economic fallout. Public property owners, homeowners, businesses, institutions, and utilities will have to deal with thousands of ash trees before they become a liability and bear the cost of implementing programs to deal with this terrible loss to our urban forest. Effective EAB programs involve the following: • Identifying ash trees, size and locations (an inventory) • Monitoring the distribution of the pest within local areas •
Identifying and treating trees worthy of preservation
•
Tree removal on public and private lands, and disposal of wood waste
•
Replanting replacement trees.
Currently, neither the Federal nor Provincial Governments are providing sufficient financial/management support to municipalities for implementation of any part of an EAB program. With the CFIA recently announcing they were moving the EAB regulated zones up to the French River area by early next year. Therefore, we have prepared the attached proclamation calling for A FEDERAL and PROVINCIAL ROLE IN URBAN FORESTRY. Attached is a proclamation we are sending to Clerks across Ontario. We are seeking your Council’s endorsement of this proclamation and would ask that you present this to your respective Council for consideration. Thank you for your assistance in bringing this to your Council’s attention. If you have any questions, please contact me at 519-362-9469

Comment County Planning staff has completed a comprehensive report for draft plan approval of the subdivision (see attached Exhibit A) and is satisfied that this development as submitted: (i) is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement; (ii) meets the tests of the Planning Act; and (iii) complies with policies of the Township of South Frontenac’s Official Plan.
Financial Implications The required fees to process draft approval of the plan of subdivision and for processing the revised plan have been paid to the County by the proponent and all funds owed have been paid to the Township. The zoning has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. Should the subdivision be approved by Council and appealed, funding could be drawn from the Ontario Municipal Board reserve to cover the cost of legal fees.
Sustainability Implications One of the key focus areas of Directions for Our Future, the County’s Sustainability Plan, is Land Use Planning and Management. From a sustainability perspective, this involves an approach that ensures a clean and healthy environment, a strong economy, and long term viability. Draft approval of the plan of subdivision will promote a strong economy and long term viability by promoting development within a settlement area.

Re:
Application for Draft Plan of Subdivision – 2292 Sands Road Township of South Frontenac – County File #10T-2011/002
Recommendations and Conditions: It is recommended that County Council give draft approval to the plan of subdivision application for 2292 Sands Road, Battersea based on the attached conditions of approval detailed in Appendix B. The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2005). It conforms to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, has been submitted along with an appropriate implementing Zoning By-law, and has had regard for the criteria of Section 51 (24) of the Planning Act. Background: An application was submitted by FoTenn Consultants Inc on behalf of Roger and Roberta Ouellette for draft approval of a plan of subdivision at 2292 Sands Road in the hamlet of Battersea in the Township of South Frontenac. Site Location: The subject property is 23 hectares (56.8 acres) in size and is located the Township of South Frontenac on Sands Road, in the southern portion of the hamlet of Battersea. The lands are currently occupied with an existing single detached dwelling. A large wooded ridge dominates the northern and western portions of the property, with the lands generally rural in character sloping toward nearby wetlands. The surrounding area Exhibit A to Administrative Report 2013-136 Planning Report – County File #10T-2011/002 July 17, 2013
2013-136 Sustainability – 2292 Sands

contains mostly rural single detached lots, wooded areas and farmland, and a wetland is located just north of the property. It is legally described as Parts 9 & 10, Concession 9, Geographic Township of Pittsburgh, Township of South Frontenac, County of Frontenac. Maps of the subject site are attached as Appendix A. Overview of Proposal and Background: The application is for the creation of a residential subdivision consisting of 15 single detached lots, two stormwater blocks, a public roadway, a road allowance that would allow a possible future connection to the existing hamlet of Battersea, and a block for the existing home. The plan was originally submitted in 2011; this is the third version of the plan that the applicant has prepared in response to comments from agencies, South Frontenac Township Council and the public. Discussion and Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 The Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 (PPS) is a planning document that provides direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development, such as growth and settlement, servicing, and significant natural features. Section 1.1.3.of the PPS states that Settlement Area shall be the focus of growth, and that land use patterns in settlement areas should efficiently use land and resources and that development should avoid the need for unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion of public service facilities and infrastructure. The level of density proposed is appropriate for a settlement area without public and water sewer services and will use the existing Township roads. While concerns have been expressed about an increased maintenance burden from having two stormwater management facilities, this is necessary due to the topography of the land and has been endorsed by the Township. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan The subject property is currently designated as Settlement Areas in the Township Official Plan. The Plan directs the majority of new growth to the settlement areas. Development within settlement areas is subject to a number of policies under Section 5.6 in the Township’s Official Plan. The proposed development for single detached dwellings is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the area, and the proposed lots are larger than many of the surrounding properties. The proposed lots have been supported by studies that have justified private water and septic systems in accordance with Section 6.10.2 of the Plan. Zoning By-law The current zoning in effect for the subject property is Urban Residential – First Density Zone (UR-1). The property is proposed to be zoned as Community Facility Zone (CF), Environmental Protection Zone (EP), Residential Zone (R), Special Residential Zone (R-27) and Special Residential Holding Zone (R-27-H). The proposed rezoning was passed by Township Council on June 4, 2013, but the zoning has now been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. This zoning by-law implements the plan of subdivision Exhibit A to Administrative Report 2013-136 Planning Report – County File #10T-2011/002 July 17, 2013

and the site-specific zones are appropriate for the development as they recognize the configuration of the lots and the holding zone protects the heritage feature. Servicing The applicant is proposing private wells and septic systems to support the development. The supporting studies have been reviewed by the County’s peer reviewer Malroz Engineering and the Health Unit. Draft conditions have been included to ensure their recommendations will be implemented. Stormwater A stormwater management report was submitted in support of the application. There are two stormwater management ponds proposed as part of this application, due to the slope of the lands. The preliminary stormwater plan has been reviewed by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and Township and conditions of draft approval will ensure the proper implementation of the detailed design. Environment An environmental impact statement was submitted in support of the application and was reviewed by the CRCA. The wetland in the southeast corner of the property, although not provincially or locally significant, will be protected from development. A woodland preservation plan will be prepared to help maintain the ecological integrity of the wooded area in the northwest portion of the property. The conditions of draft approval will ensure that major environmental features of the property will be preserved. Archaeology, Culture, and Heritage The applicant provided Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessments of the subject property, which evaluated the lots and found a lime kiln on the property. Correspondence from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport recommended a 20 metre buffer zone around the site, which has been included in the proposed zoning. Development would only be possible following a Stage 4 excavation of the site and a concurrence letter issued by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for the associated report. The rest of the property was found to have no significant archaeological resources and is considered to have been cleared of all archaeological concerns. A number of standard conditions relating to discovery of previously unknown or unassessed archaeological resources during construction have also been included as conditions of draft approval. Transportation Residents will have access to Sands Road through a public road to be created through the plan of subdivision. Visual screening is contemplated for existing homes adjacent to the new road. Land has been reserved in the subdivision for a potential future connection to Mill Street in Battersea. A sidewalk will be constructed within the development. Parkland The applicant is required to dedicate parkland or provide up to 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland as part of the subdivision process in the Township of South Frontenac, which has been included as a condition of draft approval.

Other Issues/Agency Comments Other commenting agencies such as Bell Canada, Hydro One, and the school boards provided either no concerns/comments or included a list of standard conditions. Public Consultation: A formal public meeting for the development was held on December 4, 2012. Several members of the public spoke against the proposal. A representative from the applicant also presented an overview of the proposed development. Some of the concerns noted at the meeting were the possible negative impact on the environment, the potential for development in hazardous lands, the impact on the lifestyle of nearby residents, stormwater and flooding of basements, and development on the ridge. A number of written comments against the proposed development were received by the Sands Road Residents Association. The submissions received have been attached as Schedule C to this document. The following is a summary of the concerns raised in the submissions and the staff response: Comments
- The land and area chosen for this Subdivision cannot sustain a 16 lot development without serious and permanent impact on the existing residences, the surrounding environment and groundwater.
Staff Response
The subdivision is located in an area designated for development. The studies submitted with the development have supported the proposed number of lots. The number of lots has been reduced by one (1) to ensure the configuration was appropriate from both a planning and health and safety perspective. The proposed lots are larger than many of the surrounding residential lots.
This development is in a rural setting and the use of building setbacks and road frontages normally associated for a hamlet would be improper and inappropriate for this Subdivision.
The development is within the settlement area and the lot sizes and depths are appropriate. The Township’s Official Plan directs development to settlement areas and provides for reduced setbacks and frontages in order to create a more village-like setting.
While lots could appear to be of sufficient sizes, many are limited in their developable area.
The applicant has demonstrated the ability to fit a home, well, and septic on each lot while maintaining compliance with the proposed zoning by-law. Should the detailed engineering studies completed after draft approval determine some lots need to be reconfigured, this could be done as a normal part of

the draft approvals process. 4) The wetlands should be separate ownership rather than part of the single detached lots.
The proposed plantings, development agreements, and zoning by-law are planning tools that will ensure protection of the wetland, which is not provincially significant.
Concerns were expressed about development on the ridge
An access road that was proposed for the ridge has been removed and a woodland preservation plan will be implemented to maintain the ecological integrity of the woodlands on the high-ground in the northwest portion of the property
Concerns were expressed regarding the lack of a secondary plan for Battersea to guide development
A 15 lot subdivision would not typically not trigger a secondary plan in the absence of other development pressures, and a secondary plan was not requested for this development by the Township.
The Township should use the environmentally sensitive woodlands for parkland
The Township has the ability to request a 5% parkland dedication either in the form of land or cashin-lieu. This is a Township decision that may depend on long term plans for the Battersea area, the desire for larger park areas, maintenance requirements, road access and other considerations. This will be determined through the draft approvals process.
Other concerns identified have been addressed through technical reports and agency review. Summary The draft subdivision now proposed for the site has undergone significant revisions as a result of concerns raised by members of the public and South Frontenac Township Council. The revisions result in more woodland being preserved and reduced development on the ridge. A right of way has been provided for future connections to the village as the settlement area expands. Commenting agencies have reviewed the subdivision extensively and provided conditions of draft approval, and the plan has been endorsed by South Frontenac Township Council. Overall, the proposal is of a size and scale that is appropriate for the lands and the Battersea settlement area.

Re:
Fairmount Home – Service Elevator Repairs
Recommendation RESOLVED THAT Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Fairmount Home – Service Elevator Repairs report: AND FURTHER THAT Council authorize the Clerk to execute an agreement with ThyssenKrupp for the necessary repairs to the service elevator.
Background There are three elevators at Fairmount – a public elevator, a service elevator and the County elevator. The public elevator is located in the main lobby of Fairmount and is used by visitors and residents to move between the first and second floors. There is no access to the lower level via this elevator. The service elevator is located in the hallway that connects the north and south sides of the building and is used by staff to move food and clean laundry. It is located in a restricted area and is off-limits to residents and visitors. The County elevator is located between the County’s administrative offices and Fairmount, next to the stairwell and is off-limits to residents.
Comment The service elevator has been in and out of service in the past several months and our elevator maintenance contractor has advised us that the control system or “brains” of the elevator is no longer working and requires replacement. When the control system is replaced, the car and hall fixtures, wiring and fire service also need to be replaced. Fairmount Home – Service Elevator Repairs July 17, 2013
2013-139 Fairmount Home – Service
Page 1 of 2
Page 133 of 231
AgendaItem#10e)
The control system for our elevator cannot be sourced but must be manufactured as the original installer of the elevator and original fabricator of the control system are both no longer in business. There will be a waiting period related to the manufacturing of the control system and time is also needed for approval of engineered drawings and installation. Consideration was given to replacing the entire elevator but this was not recommended by the elevator contractor as the rest of the elevator is in good condition; it would be a more significant cost and the elevator would be out of service for a longer period of time. While the elevator is undergoing repairs, food and clean laundry will have to be transported using the County elevator.
Sustainability Implications None.
Financial Implications The estimate for repairs provided by the elevator contractor is $59,312.

Administrative Services – OEMC and OPPI Conferences
Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Administrative Services – OEMC and OPPI Conferences report; AND FURTHER THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac authorize the Manager of Sustainability Planning and the Manager of Economic Sustainability to attend the annual Ontario East Municipal Conference (OEMC) in Kingston, Ontario from September 11 to September 13, 2013; AND FINALLY THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac authorize the Community Planner to attend the biennial Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) Conference in London, Ontario from September 18 to September 19, 2013.
Background OEMC: The Ontario East Municipal Conference is considered the largest annual regional conference east of Toronto and is usually well attended by members of the four Township Councils. Each year, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ontario East Economic Development Commission hosts this three-day conference.

AgendaItem#10f)
conference is being held at the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston starting the morning of September 11 and wrapping up at noon on September 13, 2013. The OEMC provides numerous worthwhile sessions dealing with a variety of municipal issues including land use planning, economic development, new Provincial initiatives, and general best practices. OPPI: Ontario Professional Planners Institute represents about 3,500 professional planners and 500 planning students across the province. OPPI has the mandate to grant the Registered Professional Planner designation; govern the rights and responsibilities of its members; set academic, experience and examination requirements for membership; and uphold the Professional Code of Practice and Standards of Practice. Members work for government, private industry, community agencies and academic institutions in a variety of specialties across the province. OPPI is the Ontario affiliate of the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP). Every two years, OPPI hosts a conference, with symposiums taking place in between these years. This year the conference is being held at the London Convention Centre on September 18 and 19. The conference is important for both education and professional development. OPPI members are now required to complete a mandatory continuous professional learning program each year beginning in 2013.
Comment The Annual OEMC Conference will be offering 34 different concurrent sessions as well as two keynote sessions. It is expected that many of the sessions will be valuable including: a presentation of new regional governance models; Eastern Ontario transportation needs study; the Building Code and municipal liability; and an update on the draft Provincial Policy Statement. The OPPI conference offers two full days of concurrent sessions discussing current planning trends, key professional issues such as ethics and public consultation, and case studies from other Ontario municipalities. Some of the sessions this year include “Making Community Improvement Plans Work for Small and Medium-Sized Communities,” “Empowering Private Sector in Rural Ontario Community Revitalization,” “The Art of Mediation,” and “Tiptoeing Through the Mine Field: Testimony at the OMB.” The Manager of Sustainability Planning and the Manager of Economic Sustainability have attended the OEMC Annual Conferences regularly. Frontenac County staff has not previously attended the OPPI conference, although the planners have been involved with local OPPI events. This year, the Community Planner would like to attend to ensure that the County is kept up to date on various planning initiatives across the Province and for professional learning opportunities that will help in future work done for the County. With Council’s direction at its January 16th meeting, only Managers are now able to attend a conference, and special permission is required from Council for the Community Planner to attend the OPPI conference this year.

Re:
Administrative Services – 2,4,5,T Herbicide
Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac accept this Administrative Services – 2,4,5,T Herbicide report for information.
Background From the late 1940s until the 1970s the herbicide 2,4,5,-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) was utilized widely for brush control in Ontario. The product was also likely to contain the contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD). The herbicide was used primarily by MTO, MNR and Ontario Hydro, however it is possible that some municipalities utilized it as well. In response to public concern about possible long-term health effects following 2,4,5 T and TCDD exposure, the Government of Ontario formed an independent panel to review the use of this herbicide in the province and to evaluate possible health effects. The panel found that although some occupational exposures exceeded the safe thresholds for exposure, there were sufficient margins built into those thresholds that adverse health effects might not occur. The report identified that the group most at risk of exposure was the workers who directly applied the product either by hand or air or those who mixed the product and loaded the tankers or the planes.

AgendaItem#11a)
The panel concluded that the risk of developing a disease from bystander exposure was extremely low. The report is available on the website ontario.ca/245T The records of use by MTO, MNR and Ontario Hydro as well as their archived records identifying geographic areas which were sprayed are also available on the website.
Comment The records of use available on the website were reviewed for areas within the County of Frontenac including main settlements in all four townships. No records of use by MTO, MNR or Ontario Hydro were found. It is possible that the townships or individual homeowners may have utilized the product to clear brush however these records are not accessible on this website. If any individuals are concerned about a possible exposure, they should be directed to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board website which has information to address these concerns at: www.wsib.on.ca
Sustainability Implications A principle under the social pillar of sustainability in Directions For Our Future is a reminder to apply best practices for good stewardship; it states: The quality of life of our current generations does not prevent future generations from enjoying a similar quality of life.
Financial Implications None.

Administrative Services – AMCTO Annual Conference
Recommendation That Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Administrative Services – AMCTO Annual Conference report for information.
Background The Deputy Clerk attended the Association of Municipal Managers Clerk’s and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) annual conference in Blue Mountain from June 9 to 12, 2013 as authorized by County Council at its April 17, 2013 meeting.
Comment The AMCTO Annual Conference provides municipal Clerks and Treasurers with the opportunity to stay on top of emerging issues in the municipal sector, experience energizing and motivating keynote speakers as well as network with colleagues and share information and best practices. Keynote speakers at the Conference included Stuart Ellis-Myers who lives with Tourettes Syndrome and spoke about how to overcome obstacles as well as David Usher who took the audience through a journey of making a vision become reality and how in order to achieve success, one must follow through on their visions.

During the 3 day conference, attendees had the opportunity to attend a number of workshop presentations which were very informative and provided an opportunity for open discussions and networking with other municipal experts. Five educational workshops were attended by the Deputy Clerk which included: ¾ Creating a Code of Conduct for Your Council This workshop focused on key aspects that are required in a Code of Conduct as well as encouraging ethical behaviour based on the values and vision of the municipality. Key aspects learned in this session were that along with any Code of Conduct for a municipality, it must be accompanied by policies and training programs which reinforce and encourage ethical behaviour that is expected of both municipal politicians and administrators. ¾ Economics of Accessibility: Benefits to Municipalities of Implementing Accessibility Standards This was an excellent session that not only focused on the economical financial gain with respect to the spending power of those with disabilities, but also focused on the economical cost of the unacceptable unemployment rate of those living with disabilities. Stephen O’Brien of Richmond Hill was a keynote speaker with this workshop and provided an overview of the new IASR policy and reporting requirements in 2013 including what effective policies should include as well as networking with other municipalities who already have these policies in place in order to avoid “reinventing the wheel”. ¾ Creating an Ethics Program for Your Municipality: The Foundations of Accountability and Public Values This workshop looked at Codes of Conduct for municipal employees and how to measure the success of such Codes. It also looked at different sections that should be included in a Code of Conduct and that many municipalities are now moving towards Codes of Ethics which are less constrictive and value based that stress decision-making principles that support values and integrity that the public has come to expect of municipal employees. ¾ Open Meeting Requirements: An Update and Open Discussion This workshop focused on the requirements under the Municipal Act of when a municipal Council may move into closed session. It also reviewed various reports from the Ontario Ombudsman regarding complaints around closed meetings. ¾ Fraud and White Collar Crime: How They Are Infiltrating the Public Sector This workshop focused on the rise in the incidence of fraudulent business interactions and how to recognize potentially fraudulent requests and interactions as well as how to protect your municipality. During the 75th Birthday Gala, attendees had the privilege of hearing guest speaker, The Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, who reinforced the importance of municipal government in the lives of Ontarians and spoke to his family’s long standing involvement in both municipal government as well as the AMCTO.

The Deputy Clerk also attended the AMCTO Annual General Meeting that highlighted the activities of the Association over the past year including receiving reports from the AMCTO Board Chair, along with various standing committee reports. As well, the Deputy Clerk also attended an AMCTO Zone 6 meeting of the Board of Directors of which she is a Director at Large. A complete copy of all presentations made at the conference is available on the AMCTO website and available to all members.
Sustainability Implications It is important that staff at the County keep up to date on issues and emerging trends related to municipal government.
Financial Implications The cost of this conference was approved by Council resolution at its April 17, 2013 meeting at a registration cost of $706 and hotel accommodations being approximately $550; however the Deputy Clerk was offered by past colleagues to share accommodations which represented a cost savings to the County of close to $400.

Dietary Workflow The home’s dietary workflow team consists of the Administrator, Manager of Food Services, Manager of Environmental Services, two dietary aides and one cook. It has been hard at work in response to recommendations made by LTS Consulting, the firm that conducted the LEAN workflow review of the dietary department last fall. The team has met several times this year and, in consultation with the dietary staff, developed the following vision statement for the dietary department: In the Dietary department we know what is expected of us, have the tools, knowledge, skills and support to do our job, have developed processes for respectful, free-flowing communication and provide the residents with fresh, high quality food all of which leads to our job satisfaction. To measure whether or not the department has achieved this vision the following overarching AIM statement was developed: By May 1, 2014, 75% of the dietary staff shifts will be rated as a “good day” or “great day” The workflow team has been working on quite a few quality initiatives including looking at garbage bag use, making toast at point of service, how dish carts are loaded, the food order process and how work areas are organized. QI Training As recommended in the LTS report, the dietary workflow team received training in the use of quality improvement tools such as LEAN, process mapping, 5S, 5Whys and PDSA. These tools are being utilized as the team moves forward with the workflow project. General Staff Meeting I met with staff to discuss staff sick time at the home. Meeting with Store Volunteers I attended a meeting with the volunteers who give their time in the general store. Overall volunteers were very satisfied with the general store procedures. Volunteer Appreciation I attended the annual volunteer appreciation dinner at Fairmount and gave an overview of some of the activities that occurred in 2012 and those planned for 2013. Nurses Week All staff were celebrated during Nurses’ Week with the most popular event being the staff barbeque. Residents and family members were given an opportunity to record their thoughts about Fairmount staff and those will be incorporated into a wall hanging for the home. Incontinence RFP An RFP for incontinence products was released and a trial is underway with the successful proponent. Pending resident and staff satisfaction a contract will be formally signed. Auditorium Renovation Project Manager RFP An RFP for a project manager for the auditorium renovation project was released and a separate report from the Treasurer has been prepared for Council advising of the outcome.

Auditorium Renovation Project A meeting was held with the architect and project manager. It is anticipated that we will be starting construction by mid-October. The Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care has been advised of the project and we are waiting to see what level of involvement it will require. Fire Suppression Tank RFP An RFP for the supply and installation of a new fire suppression tank water supply line was released. This work is required by the Fire Department and was part of the 2013 budget. Well Project The well project is complete. Benjamin Moore Grant We have been advised that we were successful in obtaining a grant from the Benjamin Moore Community Restoration Program. The grant is in the amount of $4,250 with $3,600 of that to be used to erect a sunshade in the Pathways and repair benches and the balance to go towards paint. Physiotherapy RFP The Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care is changing the funding model for physiotherapy in long-term care homes. Currently physiotherapy providers bill OHIP directly. Effective August 1, 2013, homes will receive $750 per bed for physiotherapy services plus an increase to the programming envelope to allow for exercise classes. As per the County’s procurement policy, an RFP was released for physiotherapy services. Mandatory Annual Training The Long-Term Care Homes Act requires annual training on several topics such as infection prevention and control, restraint use and abuse. We also incorporate health and safety and ethics training into this day which helps us to meet the training requirements under the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Accreditation Canada standards. The first mandatory training day was held in June. OANHSS Region VI I attended a meeting of the OANHSS Region VI Executive. I am Secretary for the Region. Ontario Volunteer Services Awards I attended the Ontario Volunteer Services Awards at the Ambassador Hotel where the following volunteers received awards for their volunteerism at Fairmount: Wendy Deslaurier – 5 years Glenda Corcoran – 10 years Merle Keeler – 5 years Bill McCormick – 5 years Claudette Raby – 5 years Carol Pellerin – 5 years Heather Jones – youth volunteer Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) The Electrical Safety Authority works with facility owners, owner’s agents or operators to ensure an electrically safe facility, assist with compliance requirements, ensure electrical equipment is in safe and proper working condition, and educate employees about electrical safety, Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements, and safe work practices.

Recommendation RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Sustainability – Frontenac K&P Trail – Hardwood Creek Bridge report for information.
Background The unopened portion of the K&P rail bed, acquired by the County of Frontenac in 2008, runs through the Township of South Frontenac and part of the Township of Central Frontenac. The County’s acquisition of the land was undertaken as part of its economic stimulation efforts. The development of this multi-use trail offers an alternative transportation network for our residents and visitors, links us into the Trans Canada Trail system, connects our communities, and provides healthy lifestyle and recreational opportunities. County Council adopted the implementation of the Frontenac K&P Trail at its October 2009 regular meeting.
Comment A Request for Proposals was issued to design, deliver and install a new trail bridge over Hardwood Creek on the Frontenac K&P Trail. Five submissions were received as follows:

Sustainability – Support for Sustainability Initiatives Update
Smaller
Scale
Community
Recommendation RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Sustainability – Support for Smaller Scale Community Sustainability Initiatives Update for information.
Background Support for Smaller Scale Community Sustainability Initiatives (SSS CSI) is an approved project in the County’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) that supports building community capacity and covers all four pillars of sustainability: social, cultural, economic and environmental. It is recognized that a number of community projects contribute towards sustainability. Each year new projects emerge which build community capacity and could benefit from funding. Small contributions, under the County’s SSS CSI program, are offered to support those important projects that further the community’s sustainable goals.
Comment Several projects approved in through the 2012 budget remained uncompleted at yearend. The status of these final few projects approved in 2012 is as follows: Lake Management Plan - The Canonto Lake Property Owners’ Association (CLPOA) applied for funding to help cover the printing costs in producing copies of a lake Administrative Report Sustainability – Support for Smaller Scale Community Sustainability Initiatives Update July 17, 2013

stewardship plan for Canonto Lake. The application speaks to an integrated approach and has successfully demonstrated that the project supports all four pillars of sustainability. The focus areas of Protection of Natural Resources, Water, and Recreation and Leisure as well as Capacity Building are supported. The project is complete. A copy of the plan has been received. Final claim and final report have been received. The value of this project is 11.33 times the amount of County investment and includes 200 days of volunteer in-kind contribution. Awareness and Education for Local Food Project - Sharbot Lake Farmer’s Market - This is a Capacity Building project that supports local food which is a focus in the County’s ICSP and Council strategic direction. It also fulfills one of the recommendations of the Regional Local Food Local Food BR+E. The County’s support is toward the promotion and the facilitation of the workshops. The project is in progress. Lake Management Plan - Sharbot Lake Land Owners Association (SLPOA) - The association took an integrated approach and successfully demonstrated that the project supported all four pillars of sustainability. The focus areas of Protection of Natural Resources, Water, and Recreation and Leisure as well as Capacity Building are also supported. The SLPOA applied for funding to help cover the printing costs in producing copies of a lake plan for Sharbot Lake. A draft of the plan is ready to present first to SLPOA. Revitalization Project for Arden - Friends of Arden - This is a Capacity Building project that: supports the 5 year plan for the revitalization of the hamlet of Arden; enhances community involvement; and, supports the retention of volunteers and businesses in the Arden area. The County’s support will cover different aspects of the project including signage and landscaping. A recent unveiling of the new signage supported also by the local businesses was held at the end of June. The County was represented by the Warden and the Manager of Economic Sustainability. The County was thanked for its contribution and the partnership agreement was proudly displayed. The project is near completion and a final claim and report are pending. Steps toward a Stewardship Plan for Frontenac County – This is a regional capacity building project that promotes environmental stewardship. To be effective, such a County-wide Stewardship Plan would need buy-in by County residents and municipal representatives. A first step toward this end is increasing the pride that residents feel toward their County and this has been enabled through The Naturally Rich Frontenacs (the County’s first SSS SCI in 2009/10). This next step consists of holding a workshop to provide generous discussions for exchange of information among differing viewpoints and follow-up material. The County’s support is toward meeting facilities, speakers and follow-up documents. The workshop has taken place and final documentation is being compiled and final claim and report are pending. The SL Farmers Market Venue Revitalization - Sharbot Lake Farmers Market - This project supports local food systems, community revitalization and community capacity building; all of which are contained in Sustainable Actions 2011 as priority opportunities. The facilities are located in a park near Sharbot Lake and the land is owned by the Township of Central Frontenac. The County’s support is toward the project’s main focus and that is to refurbish the washroom facility, which is a major issue that has been identified at public meetings for the CIP and the Trail Head staging projects.

components of the project include work on the pavilion base and other concrete bases needed for safety purposes. The project is underway. SSS SCI 2013 The SSS CSI program was taken to the Sustainability Advisory Committee to review the selection, criteria, evaluation and approval process. The Committee’s recommendations to County Council reflected that the process should remain as previous years and to include more reports to Council of when projects are approved and when completed. Notification has been sent to the CAOs of the Townships, Frontenac Community Futures Development Corporation and community associations. It was also noted that most SSS CSI projects will fall under the FGT eligible project category: Capacity Building Project (projects and activities that strengthen the ability of municipalities to develop and implement integrated community sustainability plans). Applications can be found on the County Corporate web site as well as www.directionsforourfuture.ca, One completed application has been received to date and is being evaluated.
Sustainability Implications This program supports a number of focus areas adopted in Directions for Our Future and is directly identified under the Economic Pillar of Sustainability in Sustainable Actions 2012 as recommended project contributing to strengthening community capacity.
Financial Implications The budget for SSS CSI for 2013 is $50,000.

The image below speaks to the fact that 97.82% of our responses during the 2nd quarter of 2013 were deemed emergency ambulance responses compared to 66% in 2000. Non-urgent transfers have become a very small percentage (1.69%) of our workload compared to 33% in 2000. This was our goal when we established Minimum Emergency Coverage (MEC) in the early 2000s. The untitled 0.44% represents data errors in the eACR program where two or more ACRs have been started for the same response.

Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Administrative Services – Minister Delegation Request at AMO Conference report for information.
Background The annual Association of Ontario Municipalities (AMO) conference will take place in Ottawa from August 18 to 21, 2013. As part of the conference, municipalities have the opportunity to request a delegation with a Minister. The purpose of this report is to inform Council that a request has been made for the County to meet as a delegation with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding the draft County Official Plan. The request was filed on July 10th to meet the Provincial deadline of July 12th. There is no certainty that a delegation will be granted.

Comment The main purpose of the delegation is twofold: first, to explain to the Minister the type of regional plan that the County is preparing (i.e., high level, County-wide focus) and that it is not a ‘cookie cutter’ approach that is seen in many Official Plans; and second, to ask the Ministry to commit to a review of the Council-adopted plan - which is expected to take place in early 2014 - within a relatively short period in order to ensure that the Official Plan process is completed during the term of this Council. At this time the delegation request lists the Warden and the Chief Administrative Officer as representing the County. However other Councillors would also be welcome to attend should the request be accepted.
Sustainability Implications The draft County Official Plan is one of the cornerstones of Directions for our Future and supports all four pillars of the sustainability plan.
Financial Implications Not applicable.

Legislative Framework Frontenac Paramedic Services is primarily governed by the Ambulance Act R.S.O. 1990 Chapter A.19 (http://www.elaws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90a19_e.htm) The Ambulance Services Collective Bargaining Act, 2001 (http://www.elaws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_01a10_e.htm) It is important to note that under these Acts, the County is deemed to be the “Designated Delivery Agent (DDA)” of the land ambulance service, and is responsible for its compliance with the Act. The service’s compliance with the legislation is audited by the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care, Emergency Health Services Branch through an inspection process every three years. Other legislation and standards that affects the operations of Frontenac Paramedic Services include: Occupational Health & Safety Act www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/ Pay Equity Act http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90p07_e.htm Labour Relations Act http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_95l01_e.htm Employment Standards Act http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_00e41_e.htm Ambulance Services Collective Bargaining Act http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_01a10_e.htm Ambulance Service Documentation Standards http://www.ambulancetransition.com/pdf_documents/standards_amb_service_documentation.pdf Ambulance Service Patient Care and Transportation Standards Ambulance Service Patient Care & Transportation Standards - Oct 2007 (pdf 60KB)

Response Time Standard (RTS) In 2006, in conjunction with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the provincial government established a Land Ambulance Committee (LAC) to review ambulance response time standards. On July 31, 2008 changes were made to the Ambulance Act, Ontario Regulation 267/08, amending O. Reg. 257/00 through the addition of the heading “Section 22: Part VIII, Response Time Performance Plans, Sections 22 and 23”. These changes were to be phased in over three years and were originally planned to be in full effect in 2011 with reporting requirements starting in October 2010. However, implementation was delayed until January 1, 2013. The County is required to submit its Response Time Plan (Section 23 (5) including performance targets for sudden cardiac arrest, CTAS 1, CTAS 2, 3, 4 and 5) to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), no later than October 1 of each year. On March 31, of the following year the same table with the actual times achieved is reported to the MOHLTC. “CTAS” or Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale, is a priority setting scale to describe the severity of a patient’s condition. In this scale, “CTAS 1” is the most serious, and CTAS 5 the least. The previous emergency response time standard was based on 1996 performance that differed for each upper tier. Since then, the ambulance system and associated demands have changed. The new regulation provides flexibility for each municipality to establish its own percentage of instances that it expects to meet target times with consideration of local resources. In some categories municipalities can establish their own targets in both time and percentage. With the new standard, the response time will be measured based on the severity of the call, which is determined by the responding paramedic (vs. the dispatcher which was the case in the past). This is similar to the way medical evaluations are conducted, in hospitals. It is intended to propel the stakeholders to continue to pursue system

improvements, to more accurately identify patients in the greatest need, through the ambulance dispatch call interrogation process. It is suggested that the Response Time Plan should reflect current performance elements, so that a year over year benchmarking of response times can be evaluated. The County of Frontenac’s 90th percentile response time measurement in 1996 was 14 minutes 52 seconds, meaning that 90 out of every 100, calls were responded to in 14 minutes 52 seconds or less. The new reporting process simply restates this performance in relation to a set time, as a percentage of calls. Specifically:
- Sudden Cardiac Arrest calls: a target percentage of the calls will have a Defibrillator on scene within 6 minutes;
- Sudden Cardiac Arrest and CTAS* 1 calls: a target percentage of the calls will have a paramedic resource on scene within 8 minutes;
- CTAS 2, 3, 4, and 5: a target percentage of the calls will have a paramedic resource on scene in a determined timeframe. *CTAS – The Canadian Triage Acuity Scale is utilized by hospitals to measures the severity of the patient condition and establishes prescribed timeframes to be triaged by the nurse or seen by a doctor. Under both the old and the new process, the times identified to the Province are applicable to the entire service area of Frontenac Paramedic Services. There are no provisions in the regulations to provide for variations in population or call volume density. It is important to note that response time performance is improved in densely populated areas. The response time performance reported is an amalgam of calls throughout the service area, and expectations should be tempered as such. Under this regulation, municipalities will be credited when any defibrillator is used to assist a victim of sudden cardiac arrest, including a public access defibrillator or a tiered response agency. In addition, Emergency Response Vehicles with one paramedic will continue to be included in the response time calculations. It was recommended to, and approved by County Council, that the County of Frontenac set the following criteria under Regulation 257/00, as amended, for its response time targets for 2013: For the calendar year of 2013, from January 1 to December 31, i. Designated Delivery Agent (DDA) - SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST 48% percent of the time, within 6 minutes from the time ambulance dispatch conveys the call information to the paramedic, the County of Frontenac will endeavour to have a responder equipped and ready to use an AED at the location of a patient determined to be in sudden cardiac arrest. ii.

68% percent of the time, within 8 minutes from the time ambulance dispatch conveys the call information to the paramedic, the County of Frontenac will endeavour to have a PARAMEDIC as defined by the Ambulance Act and duly equipped at the location of a patient determined to be CTAS 1. iii. EMS Designated Delivery Agent - CTAS 2, 3, 4, 5 The County of Frontenac will endeavour to have a PARAMEDIC as defined by the Ambulance Act and duly equipped at the location of a patient determined to be CTAS 2, 3, 4, 5 within a period of time determined appropriate by the DDA and noted below in Table 1, or as resources permit (level of effort):

Service Levels: Past, Present and Anticipated for the Future The call volume and the vehicle complement stationed in the City of Kingston has evolved over the last almost 10 years. This section will provide information on both call volume and vehicles and offer some insights. Finally, future anticipated call volumes and resource requirements will be considered.
Call Volume
From January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2012, the cumulative call volume increased by 26.8%. For the period of January 01, 2013 to June 30, 2013 compared to the period of January 01, 2012 to June 30, 2012 call data indicates a 6.2% reduction in call volume.

Vehicle Complement During the period of January 01, 2004 to May 20, 2012 the land ambulance service realized 20,360 of enhanced hours of paramedic staffing to meet increased demands. At the time of transition from the contract operator model to an in-house land ambulance service, the County operated at the following service levels, in the City of Kingston: January 1, 2004 Station 01 (Palace Road)
One (1) 24 hrs/7 days a week/365 days a year One (1) 12 hrs/7 days a week/365 days a year

It is important to comment on the seamless nature of ambulance service in the province of Ontario. At the time of restructururing, the model was and continues to be, no matter what municipal crest is on the door of an ambulance, the ambulance in closest proximity to the emergency call is dispatched. . Kingston is advantaged by this model by the fact that, as a tertiary hospital centre, many outside land ambulance services are in our city at any given time and are available to respond to calls. Another factor positively influencing service delivery, in the City of Kingston, was the addition of an ambulance to be based in Sydenham in June, 2010. Until that station opened, all calls to the northern portion of the City of Kingston and the southern portion of the Township of South Frontenac, were responded to by ambulances from city Land Ambulance Services Report - DRAFT July 5, 2013

stations. The addition of this resource reduced call volume by 59% and allowed for the city units to be more available for city responses. Additionally, in September 2012, the County of Lennox and Addington opened an ambulance station in Loyalist Township. Prior to this resource being operational, ambulances from the west end city station responded to calls in that area. The addition of this resource allowed for west end city units to be more available for city responses. Current statistics show a reduction of some 500 call per annum. An industry standard for consideration of adding an ambulance resource is 1000 to 1200 calls; this new station equates to an increase of close to a half an ambulance resource to the city area. Also, a Paramedic Response Unit (PRU) serves the downtown core (an area bordered by Princess Street, Sir John A. MacDonald Boulevard and Lake Ontario) for 18 hours each day and for the balance of its 24-hour period, it is stationed out of Station 02. The PRU roams constantly and is able to reach patients faster than an ambulance, initiating critical on-site care as soon as possible.
Impact of Call Volume and Vehicle Complement Changes As noted in the first chart in this section, the cumulative increase in call volume from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2012 was 26.8%. Also noted below that chart is the unanticipated recorded decrease in volume between Janaury 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013 of 6.2%. When this is considered in conjunction with the net increase in vehicle resources from January 1, 2004 to May 20, 2013 of 41.59% and the addition of a 12hour vehicle introduced by the County of Lennox and Addington on the western boundary of the City, the coverage within the City has improved significantly between 2004 and 2013.
Anticipated for the Future Tools utilized to analyze service levels include the following:
- Ambulance Dispatch Reporting System (ADRS) – call volume data
- iMedic EMS Analytics – RTS Compliance
- Unit Hour Utilization (UHU) Measurement: The Unit Hour Utilization (UHU) ratio is an indicator and measurement of productivity for an ambulance service. UHU is calculated by dividing the number of unit hours (fully equipped ambulance for one hour) for a given period of time by the total calls occurring during that time period. Typically, paramedic organizations strive for the highest utilization rates possible, while maintaining the best response times possible. Generally speaking, industry standards state, an overall utilization rate of 0.15 to 0.25 is considered below average utilization, 0.25 to 0.35 is considered average utilization, and 0.35 to 0.45 is above average utilization.

AgendaItem#11j)
The impact of increasing UHU ratio is inversely proportional to the ability to maintain response time reliability. The higher the UHU, the more difficult it will be to meet established response time levels. Obviously, the converse of this is that the lower the UHU, the greater the availability to respond. In rural areas, call volumes and UHU ratios are traditionally lower than urban centres. Typically, EMS organizations strive for the highest utilization rates possible, with optimal overall utilization rates being considered in the 0.35 - 0.40 range FPS has modeled future UHU based on an average call increase of 2.5%, and historical call volume trends from 2012 to 2022. Using this model, as the UHU moves up toward 0.39 to 0.40, consideration would be made for additional resources.

Rationale for the Recent Decisions Made by the County on Service Levels County staff, during the preparation of the 2013 budget, predicted a 7.1% increase due to wages, benefits, fuel, and maintenance and associated costs for land ambulance services. Several strategies to reduce that increase were presented to County Council. After deliberation, County Council’s direction was to reduce staff hours, reduce training hours, reduce unallocated staffing hours and change the life cycle of ambulances to realize the budget that was passed on May 5, 2013. The presentation provided to the Council of the City of Kingston on May 21, 2013 provides further detail.

municipality’s operating budget. With respect to the County of Frontenac, its reserves currently sit at 39% which is at the high end of the range in comparison to other municipalities he has researched. He noted that, according to indicators used by the Provincial Government, a Working Funds Reserve should be at 10% in order to be considered low risk. Mr. Allan also advised that it would be premature for County Council to look at its reserves in the absence of any long term Financial Plan, which should include a Debt Rate Policy and a Tax Rate Policy. When asked to respond to statements made by a deputation at the June 19th County Council meeting calling for County Council to conduct a forensic audit of its reserves, Mr. Allan questioned the need for a forensic audit, noting that a forensic audit deals with wrong doing and the misuse of funds. He did suggest that Council could request an analytical review which could be done in-house. Regarding comments made that the County of Frontenac funding is somewhat guaranteed, Mr. Allan noted that in Eastern Ontario, the tax burden for residential properties is much higher than in major metropolitan centres such as Toronto given the absence of a commercial and industrial tax base. 65% of the funding in Frontenac County comes from the Province; however this is always subject to change given the policy direction of the governing party. Regarding the question of whether or not the County could self fund a Working Fund Reserve from the accumulated funds of other reserves, Mr. Allan advised that reserves should be used for the purposes intended. It is mandated under the Municipal Act that short term borrowing is restricted and it is good financial management to have a reserve that is recognized for the operations of the County. Borrowing internally is not prudent financial management for the long term. Committee of the Whole Council recessed at 10:10 a.m. Committee of the Whole Council reconvened at 10:20 a.m. and proceeded to item 7 a). See Page 5 b)

working session, he is also working with Township staff to finalize dates where the draft Official Plan will be presented to individual Township Councils as well as dates for Public Open Houses. Mr. Gallivan provided an overview of the draft Official Plan and received the following comments from members of County Council: Section 1 It was noted that the County also borders on New York State to the south and this should be identified. Mr. Gallivan advised that this Official Plan is an attempt to have a regional government, that being the County, to look at the overall issues facing the area over the next 20 years as well as become a potential funding source for the lower tier townships. Section 2 It was noted that the requirements for forest operators to develop sustainable forestry plans could prove cumbersome. Mr. Gallivan will review this as well as carry out additional dialogue with the forestry community. To questions raised that the word “support” could indicate financial commitment from the County, Mr. Gallivan clarified that this simply means a formal recognition of something that could be of value to the County. Mr. Gallivan advised that Consultants have indicated the 2011 census date contains a lot of errors with respect to the rural areas. He noted that the City of Kingston is also carrying out population projections as they are looking at this same issue. Section 3 3.2.1 – it was questioned if the word “shall” should be changed to “may”. Mr. Gallivan will take this point into consideration. 3.3.3 (3) c. ii – it was suggested to change “density” to “area”. It was noted that the issue of transportation and roads belongs with the townships. Mr. Gallivan clarified that the roads identified and the road system are an essential part of the infrastructure that supports the County and this is an opportunity for the County to obtain additional funding. Section 4 4.1.4 – Trails – it was felt that bicycles should also be mentioned. 4.6 – a typographical error was pointed out regarding the amount of acreage Section 5 No concerns were expressed. Section 6 No concerns were expressed. Committee of the Whole Council Meeting Minutes July 3, 2013

It was felt that the words “will work”, “will investigate”, and “will support” suggests commitment from the County and it was questioned if the County is committing future generations; however Mr. Gallivan advised that there are goals and policies, with the goals being what we want whereas the policies are direction. The word “will” does not hold the County accountable but recognizes that this could be a priority for the County. Mr. Gallivan confirmed that as is required under the Planning Act, the Official Plan will be reviewed every 5 years. This sets a goal for the next 20 years; however that goal will be continually updated. In response to a question regarding the need for each Township to endorse the plan, Mr. Gallivan noted that this is an upper-tier plan and although consultation is important and this will be presented to the township councils in the next few months, this does not require Township approvals. The Committee of the Whole now proceeded to Section 8, Rise and Report. See Page 10 7.

ABSENT: (0) Several questions were raised by Councillor Doyle. In response, Mr. Knott reminded the Committee that the RFP was authorized by Council and set out the evaluation process. Mr. Knott advised that the Interview Team reached its recommendation based on overall points received and commended the Team for a job done well assuring the committee members that the process had been consistently followed through each interview. Warden Gutowski confirmed that KPMG has not been the County’s auditor over the last two audit cycles. Mr. Knott acknowledged the solid reputation of the recommended firm. Ms. VanBruinessen then provided the Committee with a summary of the results of the reference checks that were carried out, noting all comments received were positive. Comments received were that KPMG provided the necessary resources to carry out the review process in the timelines provided, worked well with staff and Council, used the LEAN methodology, and provided user friendly implementation tools. She did advise that one municipality had conducted similar work involving 30 staff in only 2 departments that required 6 months to complete suggesting the timelines provided for in this contract could be tight. Through the interview process, KPMG did reconfirm its ability to meet the County’s timelines set out in the RFP.
