Essential Workers Day - March 17 Moved by: Deputy Warden Vandewal Seconded by: Warden Smith Whereas the Province of Ontario enacted a Declaration of Emergency on March 17th, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Worldwide Pandemic; and Whereas during the state of emergency certain services have been deemed essential services by the Government of Ontario; and Whereas citizens are asked to isolate at home to reduce the spread of COVID-19 as essential workers continue to work and provide an essential service to their community; and Whereas essential workers across the country are risking their lives; and Whereas some essential workers have been stricken with illness, suffered trauma or injury, or lost their lives as a result of providing an essential service; and Whereas without this dedicated workforce, essential services, including but not limited to, healthcare, police, fire, paramedics, long term care, military, social services, community services, food distribution, agriculture, postal and delivery services, education, security, transit, financial services, hospitality, commerce, manufacturing, construction, maintenance and repair, waste management, sanitation services, government, and administrative services would fail to function; and Whereas our community owes a profound debt of gratitude to every single essential worker who ensured our community could continue to operate;
Now Therefore, the Council of The Corporation of the County of Frontenac Hereby supports the resolution by the City of Brantford and hereby resolves as follows:
- That March 17 Be Proclaimed by the Council for The Corporation of the County of Frontenac to be Essential Workers Day in the County of Frontenac; and
- That the Clerk Be Directed to provide a copy of this resolution, to MPP Ian Arthur, Kingston and the Islands, MPP Randy Hillier, Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, and MP Mark Gerretsen, Kingston and the Islands, and MP Scott Reid, Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston to respectfully request that the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada formally declare March 17 to be Essential Workers Day to honour all of the essential workers who sacrificed so much during the COVID-19 pandemic; and Page 5 of 3. 18 That, and that a copy of this resolution be provided to the City of Brantford, AMO, LUMCO, FCM, and ROMA for that purpose.

AGENDA ITEM #a)
And Further That the Communal Service Governance/Operations Model Review Committee report back to Council through the Planning Advisory on the best approach to creating a communal service operation, with different options and approaches considered. Background Last June County Council formally endorsed the Frontenac Communal Services Study. As part of that endorsement, County Council also directed staff to “investigate financial models and utility models that can be used to significantly reduce the municipal financial risk of approving development on communal services and entering into a Municipal Responsibility Agreement (MRA) and report back to Council.” A Request for Proposals (RFP) was released in March for the preparation of a ‘Communal Services Financial Implementation Plan’. The Frontenac County Communal Services Financial Implementation Plan RFP had two main goals:
To establish a financial model(s) that will reduce/eliminate the fiscal risk of the County and/or Townships to support new development on communal services. To recommend a governance/management structure and set out implementation to develop a system that has potential to have a collective utility fee/maintenance program, rather than individual systems by subdivision.
Two consulting firms provided responses and were interviewed by a review team consisting of: Chief Administrative Officer; Director of Planning and Economic Development; Manager of Community Planning; and the Director of Development Services for South Frontenac Township. Following the interviews there was a determination that both submissions did not meet the goals of the RFP. Staff will re-issue the RFP to clarify that there is a need to prioritize governance/oversight over operations (i.e., utilities and maintenance). The creation of a clear strategy on how to oversee the development of communal services across the region needs to be determined before getting into the details of setting up a utility for operations and maintenance. Proposed Communal Governance Sub-Committee Staff are recommending the creation of the governance sub-committee so that the four Mayors can be directly involved in the project from the outset and make decisions with the assistance of experts from the community with a background in finance, communal service engineering, and land development. Applications received from members of the public who exhibit the specific areas of expertise being sought will be brought forward for Councils consideration at the July Council meeting. Staff are recommending that the number of citizen appointees identified in Appendix A be left open at this time in order to allow Council the freedom to review the submission of applications in July and best determine, without restrictions, the best qualified to sit on this Committee.

AGENDA ITEM #a)
determines who it best feels should sit on the Committee, it can amend Schedule B-7 with respect to the Committee Composition. It is also recommended that staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks be invited to assist with any questions with respect to the Municipal Act, the Planning Act, and the Water Resources Act. It is expected that the consultant will report directly to the sub-committee and also make presentations to Township Councils to explain the project and answer questions. Recommendations from the sub-committee will go the Planning Advisory Committee and then to County Council, or joint Councils, for endorsement. The following is a list of issues that should be considered during this work and will be expanded on in the Request for Proposal:
Review best practice models currently in place in Ontario (e.g., Lakeland Power, Township of Oro-Medonte) o What is their governance model? Board composition What is their reporting relationship to Council/community? o What should be the scope of services for this operation? o How does the financial model work (community investment/re-investment, dividends, community grants)? Risk mitigation strategies Community Investment Policy o Analysis of operations of utilities – recommendations for next steps. Review financial model that was completed by WSP consultants in the 2019 Communal Services Study. What is the best way to establish this operation? Is it through the creation of Municipal Service Corporation (MSC) that is permitted under the Municipal Act? Does the MSC need to be under the jurisdiction of the regional government for it to operate across the County? Are there other ways of setting this up without the upper tier involvement? Is the MSC stronger (and have lower financial risk) if the County is a partner? Is there ‘seed funding’ required at the outset, i.e., a reserve fund to support the first few communal developments in the short term?
Comment The main purpose of the 2019 Communal Servicing Study was to demonstrate that the perceived obstacles – engineering, financial, risk management, planning - are just that, and to equip Frontenac with the tools necessary to enable redevelopment and new development on the basis of communal services. This Study has been reviewed and supported by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks, and the Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association. Communal water and wastewater servicing offers the potential to allow for new development and infill across the County, including on village and hamlet mainstreets, Recommend Report to Council Planning and Economic Development – Communal Services Update and Next Steps June 17, 2020

AGENDA ITEM #a)
addressing some of the challenges associated with centralized municipal services and with private on-site services. Most importantly, communal servicing has the potential to support more compact, land-efficient development than is possible with private servicing, at a lower cost than is possible with centralized municipal services, and enable revitalization of the Frontenac’s communities. No other regional jurisdiction in Ontario has attempted to create a governance model to develop a singular approach to supporting new development on communal services. There have been a few communal service developments built in Eastern Ontario (e.g., Greater Madawaska Township [Calabogie], Rideau Lakes Township, Mississippi Mills Township [Almonte] and Augusta Township [Maitland]), due in part that there has been no municipal strategies developed to provide consistent support for community building using communal services. If Frontenac County is successful in creating a governance model through the work of this subcommittee then the next step – establishing or contracting utility operations – will be a relatively straightforward exercise. Financial Implications Project budget of $50,000 has been allocated through monies from the Municipal Modernization Fund (Council authorization July, 2019). The cost associated with Committee meetings is approximately $500 per meeting which covers mileage costs for committee members. This cost may be slightly higher depending on the number of citizens Council opts to appoint as well as the distance members are required to travel. Although currently Committees and Council are meeting virtually due to the declared emergency and the restrictions around social distancing and public gatherings, once the Province and the County have ceased their declarations of emergency, the ability to meet virtually will no longer be an option. Both Committee and Council budgets for 2020 with respect to meeting expenses are under budget due to all meetings being held virtually since March of this year. Through May 2020, the budget line for Other Boards has incurred $1,274 less in expenses than what was projected.
