September 9, 2025 Jannette Amini Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk 2069 Battersea Road Glenburnie, Ontario K0H 1S0 To Frontenac County Council; On behalf of the Food Policy Council for Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, we wish to thank you for your service to our communities. As you may recall, the FPC is tasked with advancing and implementing the Food Charter, which was endorsed by the County in 2012. Last year, I told you about the grant we received in partnership with Queen’s University. That grant has enabled us to hire a Community Researcher on a very part-time basis to begin developing a regional food strategy. These funds, as well as the contribution from the County, have supported a wide range of activities to date this year: • • • • • •
Built a database with over 300 outreach contacts, including government representatives, community organizations, community gardens, farms, markets and concerned individuals. Hosted a series of informal potluck consultations each month since May, attracting over 120 participants and building connections around food issues Made connections with more regional community representatives in Lennox & Addington, Connected with the FoodCore Leeds Grenville & Lanark organization Researched funding models for food policy councils across Ontario Started a monthly email news bulletin and revived the FPC Facebook page.
This fall, we are planning a series of more formal consultations with identified stakeholders for each of the food strategy pillars. We hope to have a draft outline of the food strategy by the end of the year, and in 2026, the plan is to take this draft on the road to share and request feedback from the public as well as municipal representatives. In addition, we would like to further develop the FPC website to provide easy access to some of the resources we have discovered or created. All of these activities are geared to building a vibrant regional food system, to ensure that we are resilient in the face of trade issues, global supply chain challenges, and so many other uncertainties. This is vital work in the face of drought and so many other challenges. We want our local farmers to thrive and our local citizens to have good food, regardless of what’s happening around the world. We are requesting $2500 this year to assist with expenses for this work, including promotion, graphic and web design, room rental, hospitality and printing costs. The FPC is grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to future opportunities to report on the progress in developing our regional food strategy.

Thank you! The Central Frontenac Railway Society appreciates your consideration of our request! Our Board and Volunteers work hard to maintain and protect our railway history and to create a welcoming park Our park gets rave reviews from visitors from around the country and around the world; we want to make it even better – this is a rare opportunity to grow our museum! Our community can use a “boost”; to achieve this project to celebrate our 150th Anniversary will show local businesses, visitors and residents, that we are proud of our history, our village, our trails and keen to support our area’s economic growth, beautification and revitalization

The Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society needs your help! We are very excited that we have acquired a new display for Railway Heritage Park in Sharbot Lake. This is our newest project, and our most ambitious one in recent years. We are thrilled that the timing of this venture will coincide with the 150th anniversary of the village of Sharbot Lake and the completion of the K&P Railway causeway across the Narrows in 1876. The society has managed to find and procure a vintage 1922, wooden-sided Canadian Pacific caboose. This caboose was originally built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company and has been partially restored by a group of dedicated volunteers in Barry’s Bay, Ontario. As well as being a showpiece on exhibit at Railway Heritage Park, it will create additional space to house historical displays and artifacts. Each year, the park and our displays are visited by local people and tourists from around the world alike. Since our park is on the trail network, it is a popular stopping point for cyclists, hikers, ATVers and snowmobilers. A recent assessment of the most popular attractions in our community put our Railway Heritage Park in second place, only surpassed by the beautiful Sharbot Lake Beach. The Railway Heritage Society is not only committed to respecting and preserving our community’s railway history; we want to keep improving the park, attracting new visitors and ensuring that our village puts its best foot forward for the people who live and work here and the people who visit us and support our community economically. That’s why we need your help! Getting the caboose here from Barry’s Bay will be the biggest expense of the project. We do not have adequate funds to cover the transportation costs. While we will pursue grants to defray the moving costs and any refurbishing needed on the interior, we still need to raise local funds. If you are a regular contributor to our Society, please consider making a special contribution to this project. If you haven’t contributed before, please consider a financial contribution to help make this goal a reality!

If you are a local business, please consider supporting this project which will enhance tourism potential in our community. If you are a part of a local service club, you know the value of community building and we hope your organization might be able to make a financial contribution. We will acknowledge those who make significant contributions. Once the inside of the caboose is finished and ready to open (Summer or Fall, 2026), we will publicly display a list of those whose generosity helped us hit our goal. Our society is a government authorized, non-for-profit organization; we are able to provide a tax-deductible receipt to individuals or businesses that are willing to donate to this project Sponsorship Levels: Individuals / Families:

Proposal for Funding Support: Year-Round Washroom Facility at the Sharbot Lake K&P Trailhead Presented by: Central Frontenac Washroom Committee Date: September 2025 Requested Contribution: $100,000 in the 2026 County Budget
Introduction The Central Frontenac Washroom Committee respectfully requests that Frontenac County allocate $100,000 in its 2026 budget to support the construction of a year-round, universal public washroom facility located along the K&P Trail in Sharbot Lake. This project directly supports trail users, residents, and visitors by improving accessibility, enhancing user safety and comfort, and strengthening Sharbot Lake’s position as a recreational and tourism hub along the Trans Canada Trail.
Project Overview The proposed facility will be built at the trailhead where the K&P Trail and the Trans Canada Trail converge in the village of Sharbot Lake, at the southwest corner of Mathew Street and Medical Center Road. This strategic location is directly connected to the trail network and adjacent to existing community infrastructure. Key Features: • • •
400 square-foot universal washroom facility (20x20 feet) Three washrooms, including one fully accessible unit. Sinks, toilets, and changing facilities in each washroom
Page 23 of 102 Submission by Duncan McGregor, Chair, Central Frontenac Washroom Committ…
• • •

Alignment with County Trailhead Criteria Primary Criteria: • • • • •
Settlement Area Location: The facility is situated in the village of Sharbot Lake, directly adjacent to the K&P Trail. Parking Access: The site is adjacent to existing parking areas and roadway infrastructure, ensuring ease of access for trail users. Accessibility: Fully compliant with AODA standards, including an accessible washroom, ramped entry, and transfer space. Trail Access: Located at the K&P Trailhead with direct pedestrian connectivity. Signage: Plans include trail maps, wayfinding, and facility identification signage.
Secondary Criteria Supported: • • •
Year-round, safe, and sanitary toilet facilities Opportunities for benches, picnic use, and waste management nearby Lighting and other site enhancements considered in future planning
Benefits to Trail Users and the Community • • •
• •
Enhanced User Experience: Provides essential amenities for hikers, cyclists, snowmobilers, skiers, and families using the K&P Trail year-round. Safety and Accessibility: Offers a safe, clean, and universally accessible facility, ensuring inclusivity for all users, including those with mobility challenges. Tourism and Economic Growth: The K&P Trail and Trans Canada Trail attract regional, national, and international visitors. Improved amenities encourage longer stays, increase visitor spending, and support local businesses in Sharbot Lake and surrounding communities. Community Use: Serves trail users as well as community sports programs and local events. Regional Connectivity: Strengthens the trail network as Sharbot Lake sits at the crossroads of the K&P Trail, Tay-Havelock Trail, and Cataraqui Trail, reinforcing Central Frontenac as a key destination on the Trans Canada Trail route through Frontenac County.
Funding Request The total project will be financed through a combination of municipal investment, grant opportunities, and community fundraising. The Central Frontenac Washroom Committee respectfully requests $100,000 in County partnership funding to enable this vital piece of infrastructure to be completed.

Conclusion By investing in this washroom facility, County Council will significantly improve the experience of trail users, meet established trailhead criteria, and strengthen Sharbot Lake’s role as a recreational hub. This project will deliver long-lasting community, tourism, and economic benefits that align with the County’s vision for the K&P Trail.

ATTACHMENT 2: FRONT ATV LETTER OF SUPPORT
4934 Wallace Rd., Harrowsmith, Ontario. K0H 1V0 Date: September 7, 2025
Duncan McGregor Township of Central Frontenac
Re: Support for proposed Heated Washroom Facilities in Sharbot Lake Dear Mr. McGregor, On behalf of the Frontenac ATV Club, we are pleased to express our strong support for the proposed construction of a heated Washroom Facility in Sharbot Lake.
The Frontenac ATV Club is an active partner in maintaining the K&P trail. Along with a dedicated team of trail maintenance workers, our volunteers regularly patrol the K&P to help ensure the safety and security of all trail users. In addition, we host several group rides each year, often involving 50–100 participants, that travel this route north to the town of Calabogie and other municipalities. These events not only showcase the trail experience but also support local businesses, as participants visit food and beverage establishments along the way. Our members and non-members have long valued the K&P Trail as a safe and accessible route for ATV riders and other users, connecting communities and offering outstanding recreational opportunities. As a halfway point in our territory of Verona to Wilbur, the proposed heated washroom facilities will be a very welcome improvement to the K&P Trail experience.
To demonstrate our commitment, the Frontenac ATV Club sends this letter of support along with a promise that we will contribute $5,000 on completion of this project.
We are proud to work in partnership with Central Frontenac, neighbouring municipalities, and other organizations to strengthen the trail network and ensure its continued benefit to residents, visitors, and the local economy.
Sincerely, Jim Knapp- Director District 1W Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicles President Frontenac ATV Club

Re:
Fairmount Home – Authorization to Use the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds to Replace the Wastewater Treatment System
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac provide authorization to use the Capital Replacement Reserve funds to replace the wastewater treatment system. Background The current wastewater treatment system was installed in 2003, making it 23 years old. The Rotating Bio-disk underwent major component repairs in 2011. During the construction phase of the County Administration building and Paramedic Station on Battersea Road, an amended Environmental Condition Assessment (E.C.A) had to be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (M.E.C.P). The M.E.C.P issued the amended E.C.A with nine (9) conditions as seen on page 4 in the amended E.C.A attached as appendix A. Comments Due to the nine conditions imposed by the amended E.C.A, the age and condition of the existing wastewater system, along with the recommendations and regulatory direction from the M.E.C.P, it is clear the County must proceed with the replacement of the wastewater treatment system. A Request for Proposal (R.F.P) for the replacement of the wastewater treatment system was issued on October 7, 2024. Following evaluation of submissions, Groundworks Engineering was awarded the contract as the successful vender. Groundworks
of 102 for the Use of Capital Replacement… 2025-071 FairmountPage Home 50 Authorization
conducted a feasibility study to evaluate replacement options for the wastewater treatment system. The Groundworks Engineering report is attached as appendix B. The full feasibility study attached as appendix C provided five (5) potential options for consideration. After a thorough review of the feasibility study, the Newterra wastewater system was identified as the preferred solution. A number of factors were considered including the experience/reputation within the wastewater industry, size of design team/field support staff, close proximity of Newterra’s Canadian headquarters building and the ability for field staff to respond quickly should any issues arise. Most importantly, the Newterra system offers the highest degree of flexibility to easily expand in the future if required. Financial Implications The replacement of the wastewater treatment system will be implemented in a phased approach with a predicted completion in fall 2027. The detailed project timeline and estimated costs are attached as appendix D with an estimated cost of $104,830 in 2025, $1,013,100 in 2026 and $563,310 in 2027 for a total projected cost of $1,681,240 with the County portion being $537,996. This capital expense would be subject to the cost sharing agreement with the City of Kingston, whereby the City of Kingston would assume 68% of the cost and the County of Frontenac would assume 32%. Strategic Priorities Implications 3. Strengthen Quality of Life through Enhanced Service Delivery • Focus on Fairmount Home o Improve the quality of care and services provided to residents. o Expand the capacity to accommodate more residents.

Office of the C.A.O – Designation of County of Frontenac Representative for the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry and repealing of By-law 2023-010
Recommendation Resolved That Council pass a by-law later in the meeting to designate the Manager of Marine Services and the Chief Administrative Officer as Representatives for the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry; And Further That By-law 2023-010 be hereby rescinded. Background The County of Frontenac operates the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry (the “Vessel”) which is owned by the Ministry of Transportation (Ontario) and regulated by the Federal government under the authority of Transport Canada. Both the Ministry of Transportation (Ontario) and Transport Canada require a contact person to be on record as the Operator’s Representative for the Vessel. Although the County of Frontenac is the Operator of the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry, the County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Township of Frontenac Islands for the Day-to-Day Management of the Frontenac Howe Island County Ferry. The mutually agreed upon Memorandum of Understanding satisfied the conditions laid out by M.T.O, with the day-to-day management of the Ferry operations. In early January 2023, the County’s ferry manager left the position. After an internal and external competition, Mr. Dillabough filled the position on a full-time basis effective February 6, 2023. Given that the day-to-day management of the Ferry operations falls to the Manager of Marine Services staff recommended to have that position as the contact person to be on

record as the Operator’s Representative for the Vessel, along with the Chief Administrative Officer to ensure communications when the Manager is unavailable. This position does report to the County C.A.O on matters regarding the Howe Island Ferry and any communications from either M.T.O or Transport Canada would be communicated to the C.A.O should issues of concern arise. As a result, at its meeting held February 15, 2023, County Council passed the following resolution, being Recommend Reports from the Chief Administrative Officer, clause a): a)

Dillabough and Kelly J. Pender as the Operator’s Representative for the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry. Carried By-law 2023-010, being a By-law to designate Mr. Robert W. Dillabough and Kelly J. Pender as County of Frontenac’s (the Operator) Representatives for the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry subsequently received all three readings and passed later in the meeting. Comment By-law 2023-010, being a By-law to designate Mr. Robert W. Dillabough and Kelly J. Pender as County of Frontenac’s (the Operator) Representatives for the Frontenac Howe Island Ferry appoints specific persons and not positions. Given Mr. Pender’s resignation in early 2024, the role of designative representative does not automatically fall to his successor, Mr. Kevin Farrell. Staff are recommending that By-law 2023-010 be rescinded, and a new by-law be passed that designates positions rather than specific persons.

Corporate Services – Application to the Municipal Ice Storm Assistance (M.I.S.A) Program
Recommendation Whereas the municipality of the County of Frontenac has eligible costs directly linked to the March 2025 ice storm; Therefore Be It Resolved That the Council of the Corporation of the County of Frontenac hereby requests assistance under the Municipal Ice Storm Assistance program; And Further That the Acting Treasurer, is given delegated authority to verify and attest to the accuracy of the application package. Background The County of Frontenac endured a significant weather event that began on March 28, 2025 and continued through March 31st, as Environment Canada issued a freezing rain warning for the area with prolonged periods of freezing rain. The freezing rain resulted in thick layers of ice, downing branches and power lines, and left thousands of residents, including the County Administration Building and Fairmount Home without electricity. The Municipal Ice Storm Assistance (M.I.S.A) program is an application-based program that provides one-time support to eligible municipalities for incremental costs arising from the ice storm that started on March 28, 2025. To be considered for the program, a municipality must:
59Application of 102 to the Municipal Ice Storm Assis… 2025-069 Corporate Page Services
• • • •
have incremental costs directly linked to the 2025 ice storm (over and above regular budgets) pass a council resolution requesting assistance submit the Expression of Interest survey by July 28, 2025 submit a completed application package by October 31, 2025
Only municipal expenses that are directly linked to the 2025 ice storm and are incremental to the municipality’s regular budget will be considered under the program. These may include: •
operating costs that go above regular budgets and are needed to protect public health, safety or access to essential services
•
capital costs to repair public infrastructure or property.
Costs are not eligible if: •
insurance covers them, or,
•
they would have been incurred anyway
Municipalities are required to submit evidence that the costs claimed are directly related to the 2025 ice storm. This could include a report to council detailing the municipality’s response to the ice storm, municipal news releases, website content, staff reports, media coverage, or similar supporting documentation. Comments The County of Frontenac faced several issues during the March ice storm which resulted in an extended power outage. During the power outage and once the generator fuel went down to 30% the generator lost prime and stopped working. The elevator help button stopped working due to a lack of power, with one employee trapped inside. Staff were unable to hear calls for help. K Elevator (Canada) Limited were called on site to respond to the elevator entrapment. The parking lots and lane ways were blocked due to tree damage and required Timber Tree Service to respond. Trees were also downed on portions of the K&P Trail. Kennebec Tree and Lawn were retained to restore safe use of the trail. Incremental costs directly linked to the 2025 ice storm incurred by the County were for the clean up and removal of heavy tree damage and to resolve the elevator entrapment. Total costs being submitted for assistance are $15,909. As a required step in the process, the County’s Community Emergency Management Coordinator (C.E.M.C) completed and submitted the Expression of Interest survey on July 21, 2025. As part of the required supporting documentation, a link to the C.A.O Briefing for the April 16th, 2025 County Council meeting, where Council was updated on the impacts to the County of the March ice storm, was included. Additional documentation and evidence for the County of Frontenac in regard to its Expression of Interest and intent to apply for M.I.S.A was provided to M.I.S.A via email.

Financial Implications The total estimated cost of $15,909 was included in the expression of interest survey submitted to the Municipal Ice Storm Assistance (M.I.S.A) program. This is an estimated cost that will be refined for the final claim submission on October 31st, 2025. Applications will be reviewed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and are subject to final funding approval by the Minister. If approved, the province and municipality will enter into a transfer payment agreement. All payments under the agreement will be based on the eligible costs incurred by the municipality because of the 2025 ice storm. The program uses a sliding scale cost-sharing model: •
for eligible costs up to 3% of your municipality’s own-purpose taxation (as reported in S.L.C 10 0299 01 of the municipality’s latest Financial Information Return), the province will reimburse 75% and the municipality will cover 25%.
•
for eligible costs above 3% of your municipality’s own-purpose taxation, the province will reimburse 95% and the municipality will cover 5%.
The County received a total of 4 invoices related to the tree removal at Fairmount & the K&P Trail due to the ice storm, totaling $14,882 in cleanup costs. The County also received 1 invoice related to the elevator failure and employee entrapment totaling $1,027. These incremental costs were not included as part of the 2025 budget based on actual costs.

Planning and Economic Development – K&P Trail – Replacement of Antoine Creek Bridge
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the C.A.O and Clerk be authorized to enter into an agreement with the Snow Road Snowmobile Club for the replacement of the Antoine Creek Bridge on the K&P Trail in Snow Road Station And That Council authorize the use of up to $67,030 from the County’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (O.C.I.F) allocation to fund the installation of this new bridge over Antoine Creek And Further That Crain’s Construction be contracted directly to supply and install the existing 20-tonne capacity bridge stored in Crain’s yard, as recommended by Keystone Bridge Management Inc., to ensure the project is completed prior to the 2025–2026 snowmobile season. Background This report is to provide Council with background information regarding the replacement of the Antoine Creek Bridge on the Frontenac K&P Trail and the County’s partnership with the Snow Road Snowmobile Club in support of funding through the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs. Over the past 15 years, the County has invested in acquiring and improving the K&P Trail corridor to create a year-round, multi-use recreational experience.
Page 62 of 102 2025-072 Planning and Economic Development K&P Trail – Replacement of An…
In 2022, the Snow Road Snowmobile Club lost access to a two-kilometre section of the corridor in Snow Road Station, which had previously formed part of the O.F.S.C “E” Trunk Trail. The current detour along Road 509 includes several road crossings and presents challenging grooming conditions. On June 1, 2025, the County completed the acquisition of the former railway lands in Snow Road Station. The County is prepared to return access to the Snow Road Snowmobile Club through a Land Use Agreement beginning with the 2025–2026 snowmobile season, coinciding with the Club’s 50th anniversary year. A new bridge crossing over Antoine Creek is required to reopen this section of trail. Comment Engineering Review and Bridge Selection On August 25, 2025, Keystone Bridge Management Inc. completed an engineering assessment of the Antoine Creek site, confirming that the existing concrete abutments are in fair condition and suitable for reuse with appropriate repairs. Keystone reviewed multiple contractor proposals and recommended the existing 20-tonne capacity bridge stored in Crain’s yard as the preferred solution. This bridge offers higher load capacity and durability compared to other options, immediate availability for installation, and longterm value in supporting future trail rehabilitation projects. Crain’s Construction has the bridge already in its yard and ready for installation. Their quote of $68,890 for supply and installation represents exceptional value, with costs lower than or comparable to other proposals that included only bridge manufacture and delivery. The review and opinion from Keystone Bridge Management is attached as an appendix to this report. Partnership Approach As part of this project, the Snow Road Snowmobile Club has applied for funding from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs for the purchase of a bridge structure. The funding proposal contemplates the purchase of a bridge structure for use in this location, amounting to a project contribution of $34,380. In addition to the above contribution, the Snowmobile Club has offered to complete the brushing of this section, valued at $4,800. The Frontenac A.T.V Club has also offered an additional $5,000 towards the project. The Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance has been contacted with a request for support, however a contribution has not yet been confirmed. The County will then coordinate and fund the balance of costs for installation of the bridge using a portion of it’s Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (O.C.I.F) allocation. O.C.I.F is a provincial program that provides stable, predictable, formula-based funding to help municipalities invest in core infrastructure. Eligible projects include roads, bridges, water, and wastewater. As the County does not own any roads, water or

Page 2 of 5
wastewater infrastructure, the County’s O.C.I.F allocation is an ideal resource to fund bridge projects on the K&P Trail, such as the Antoine Creek Bridge installation. In 2025, the County has $100,000 of O.C.I.F funds available for use. Assuming the Snowmobile Club is successful in their application to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, the balance of project costs, including project management, permitting and engineering is estimated to be $37,650. This collaborative model ensures the project is fully funded, leverages contributions from partners, and reflects the shared value of the K&P Trail to the region. In the event that the Snow Road Snowmobile Club is not successful in their funding request, the club would still be able to provide a contribution of $5,000 towards the project. In this case, along with the contribution from the Frontenac A.T.V Club, the County’s contribution would be $67,030. Procurement Considerations The replacement of the Antoine Creek Bridge is proposed as a single source procurement with Crain’s Construction. Keystone Bridge Management Inc. has recommended the existing 20-tonne capacity bridge stored in Crain’s yard as the preferred option, citing its immediate availability, suitability for the site, and long-term durability. Crain’s Construction is on the County’s Vendor of Record list and has extensive experience purchasing used bridge structures at auction for reuse in projects involving service roads, private lanes, trails, and other applications where existing structures can be safely repurposed with positive results. For this project, Crain’s will provide the County with engineer-sealed drawings of the bridge, certifying its suitability for use at the Antoine Creek site and ensuring compliance with professional standards. In accordance with Section 5.13 of the County’s Procurement Policy, single source procurement may be justified where specialized experience and knowledge are required, or where market conditions make competitive procurement impractical. Several factors apply here: •
Bridge manufacturers provided multiple quotes, but uncertainty in the steel market limits their pricing guarantees to 1–2 weeks, creating uncertainty in cost and delivery.
•
Crain’s option provides an existing, readily available structure already in their yard, enabling timely installation before the 2025–2026 snowmobile season.
•
Crain’s will combine supply and installation of a 20-tonne rated bridge into one contract at a total cost of $68,890, which mirrors the cost of just purchasing 10 to 12-tonne rated new structure from other manufacturers.
Council Recommend Report K&P Trail – Replacement of Antoine Creek Bridge September 17, 2025
Page 64 of 102 2025-072 Planning and Economic Development K&P Trail – Replacement of An…
Page 3 of 5
•
Specialized expertise is required to source and adapt a used structure, and Crain’s experience provides confidence in both procurement and installation.
On this basis, the engagement of Crain’s Construction under a single source arrangement is consistent with the County’s Procurement Policy and represents the most efficient, cost-effective, and technically sound approach to delivering the Antoine Creek Bridge replacement. Regional Significance With the Antoine Creek Bridge in place, the K&P Trail will again serve as a safe, direct route for snowmobilers and other recreational users, eliminating the current detour along Road 509. This section forms part of several significant regional trail products, including: •
Snow Country’s Rails & Trails Ontario East Snowmobile Loop;
•
The 360 km Eastern Ontario Rail Trail Cycling Loop; and
•
The proposed Quad Counties Loop, identified by the Ontario Federation of A.T.V Clubs.
These loops are promoted by local clubs, communities, and destination marketing organizations, attracting visitors and contributing to regional tourism and economic development. In addition, with this route in place, multiple snowmobile crossings of Road 509 in the Township of North Frontenac will be eliminated. In previous discussions at County Council regarding the K&P Trail in North Frontenac, concerns about damage to roads from trail crossings has been highlighted as an issue of concern. Financial Implications The total project budget, including permitting, engineering, bridge purchase and installation is $77,030. Contributions to the project are as follows: •
Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs: $29,380
•
Snow Road Snowmobile Club: $5,000
•
Frontenac A.T.V Club: $5,000
•
County of Frontenac: $37,650 (O.C.I.F allocation)
If the Snow Road Snowmobile Club is not successful in their funding request, the County’s contribution would be increased to $67,030, funded through the O.C.I.F program.

Antoine Creek Bridge on the Frontenac K&P Trail Engineering Assessment
Dear Mr. Allen & Mr. Crain, Frontenac County (County) and the Snow Road Snowmobile Club are currently planning to install a new bridge structure on the Frontenac K&P Trail over Antoine Creek to restore safe and sustainable access to a section of the K&P Trail near Snow Road Station, Ontario. The County has solicited quotations from various contractors for the construction of a new bridge to be installed on the existing concrete abutments at the site with the goal of completing construction this year in time for the Snowmobile Club s 50th anniversary year. Frontenac County has engaged Keystone Bridge Management Inc. (Keystone) to review the condition of the existing bridge abutments, review the Contractor quotations and provide an opinion on the preferred path forward for the project. This letter documents the details of our review and provides our recommendations for the project.
Location Antoine Creek Bridge is located on the K&P Trail approximately 820 m north of Station Road (44.955585, -76.686118). A map showing the location of the structure is shown in Appendix A.
Site Visit and Assessment of Existing Abutments Keystone visited the site on August 25, 2025, with County and Club representatives to review the condition of the existing concrete abutments for reuse with a new bridge structure. During the site visit, Keystone took detailed measurements of the existing abutments, hammer sounded exposed concrete surfaces and noted observed deterioration on the ballast walls, wingwalls, abutment seat and abutment face. Photos from our site visit can be found in Appendix B and a sketch of the dimensions of the existing abutments can be found in Appendix C. The existing abutments are unreinforced concrete and are generally in fair condition. The abutments have areas of concrete disintegration, delaminations and efflorescence staining concentrated at the corners of the abutments. The abutments shown no sign of settlement or movement and there is no 1

scour/erosion under the front face of the footings. With concrete repairs to the abutments, Keystone believes that the existing abutments are suitable for reuse for a new trail bridge structure with a capacity of 20 tonnes.
Review of New Bridge Superstructure Options The County solicited quotations from bridge suppliers and contractors to develop budgetary estimates for the work. The following table provides a review of the quotes provided. Table 1 New Superstructure Option Review No.

The Crains Construction and Ebert Welding quotes are very close in price, however, the products that are being received are different. The Ebert Welding bridge is a two-girder system with a 12 tonne capacity. The Crains Construction bridge is an 8 girder system with a 20 tonne capacity. The Crains Construction bridge is also stored nearby the site and is available for installation immediately, whereas all other products will require a fabrication lead time.
Recommendations Based on our site investigation, Keystone believes that the existing concrete abutments are suitable for reuse with a new superstructure provided that appropriate concrete repairs are carried out. Concrete repairs should be determined onsite during construction by the Contract Administrator once the details of the work are further developed. After a review of the quotations provided by Suppliers and Contractors, Keystone recommends that the County and the Snowmobile Club proceed with Option 1 the bridge supplied and installed by Crains Construction. This option provides a durable superstructure with higher capacity than other options for a very small premium. This additional durability and capacity will serve the Snowmobile Club and other 2

trail users well into the future by providing a long-lasting solution for the Antoine Creek crossing on the K&P trail.
Limitations The opinions expressed in the letter as based on the information received from Frontenac County and a limited site review. Rigorous foundation investigations have not been commissioned by the owner and the suitability of the abutments for reuse assumes that the founding soils remain competent for the proposed 20 tonne loading.
Closure We trust that the contents of this letter meet with your approval. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact the undersigned. Regards,

Planning and Economic Development – K&P Trail – Phase 6 Development: Snow Road Station to Wilbur and Rural Ontario Development Program Application
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac authorize staff to apply to the Rural Ontario Development Program, Strategic Economic Infrastructure stream, for the rehabilitation of the K&P Trail in the Township of North Frontenac between Snow Road Station and Wilbur. And That Council authorize staff to draw from the Canada Community Building Fund reserve in 2026 to cover the County’s portion of the project. And Further That if the application is successful, that the Warden and Clerk be authorized to enter into an agreement with the province of Ontario for the purpose of this funding program, should the application be successful. Background The K&P Trail has been a strategic economic development project in Frontenac County for more than 15 years. To date, 78 kilometres of the former rail corridor have been rehabilitated into a high-quality, multi-use recreational trail. The County has been successful in past funding applications to the Rural Economic Development (R.E.D) Program in 2020 and 2024, both supporting trail rehabilitation projects from Sharbot Lake to the Mississippi River. These projects rehabilitated a total 22 kilometers of the trail, with strong local and regional support. The most recent funding program was featured as part of an official announcement and ribbon cutting in the

village of Mississippi Station, North Frontenac on December 16, 2024. The program has since been renewed and strengthened under the new Rural Ontario Development Program (R.O.D.P). The Rural Ontario Development Program supports projects that address barriers to economic development, enhance workforce capacity, and attract, retain, and expand businesses. It encourages the transformation of local and regional assets—such as trails, community facilities, and infrastructure—into drivers of economic growth, tourism, and investment. A key emphasis of the program is fostering collaboration through regional partnerships, with the goal of creating sustainable, long-term benefits including job creation, business development, and increased community resiliency. Comment County staff are seeking to apply to the Strategic Economic Infrastructure stream of the Rural Ontario Development Program for the rehabilitation of 6.8 kilometres of trail between Snow Road Station and Wilbur in the Township of North Frontenac. This project, if completed, would represent the substantial completion of the Frontenac K&P Trail across South, Central and North Frontenac. This section of the K&P Trail was identified as a critical improvement in the Market Readiness Assessment for the Eastern Ontario Rail Trail Loop and represents one of the primary infrastructure barriers to promoting the loop to cyclists in international markets. The Planning & Economic Development Committee was briefed on the Loop and its assessment in Report 2025-037 and the appendix containing the Frontenac County Market Readiness Assessment Report prepared by Terminus Consulting. Scope of Project The project will revitalize and improve trail conditions from Snow Road Station toward Wilbur. While the last 2–3 kilometres through Wilbur will not be upgraded at this time, this project will substantially complete trail improvements to the former K&P Trail corridor within Frontenac County. Work will include: •
Brushing and mowing the trail corridor
•
Clearing and preparation of lands
•
Drainage improvements
•
Placement of aggregates
•
Grading, compaction, and finishing
•
Installation of edge protection

Installation of wayfinding signs and kilometre markers
The outcome will be a safe, accessible, and durable trail surface suitable for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, A.T.V’s, and snowmobiles. Funding and Partnerships The budget for this project is $500,000. The Township of North Frontenac will support the County as a partner on this project by making a $10,000 contribution. The Frontenac A.T.V Club has committed $5,000 towards the project and the Snow Road Snowmobile Club will support construction by brushing the project area, an in-kind value of $10,000. Staff will continue to seek additional support and partnerships on this project, including from the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, prior to the submission deadline. Funding Source

Tourism and Economic Benefits The K&P Trail is a central component of regional tourism initiatives that increase visitation, support businesses, and strengthen the County’s profile as a trail destination. The rehabilitated section forms part of: •
Eastern Ontario Rail Trail Loop – 360 km cycling route, targeted for international marketing by 2030.
•
Rails & Trails Ontario East Loop – 267 km snowmobile loop already promoted across the Province of Ontario.
•
Quad Counties A.T.V Loop – 323 km regional A.T.V circuit currently in development.
By completing the Snow Road to Wilbur section of the K&P, the County will enhance trail connectivity, improve user safety, and support business growth in food, lodging, fuel, and services. This project also represents the substantial completion of the project to rehabilitate the entire Kingston & Pembroke Railway Corridor in Frontenac County, comprised of 90 Council Recommend Report K&P Trail – Phase 6 Development: Snow Road Station to Wilbur and Rural Ontario Development Program Application September 17, 2025 Page 3 of 5

Antoine Creek Bridge Replacement A critical barrier to trail rehabilitation in the project area is the need to replace a bridge at Antoine Creek. The County is also working with the Snow Road Snowmobile Club to secure funding for the emergency replacement of the Antoine Creek bridge, described in Report 2025-072. Completion of the bridge project would restore the “E” Trail Snowmobile route through Snow Road Station and ensure this section is prepared for rehabilitation.

Re:
Planning and Economic Development – K&P Trail – Declaration of Surplus Lands for the purpose of transferring excess portions of the K&P Trail to 11628 Road 38
Recommendation Be It Resolved That staff be directed to negotiate the terms of a land sale with the adjacent landowner at 11628 Road 38 for part of the County owned property located in Tichborne near Fream Street; legally described as CON 1 PT LOTS 18 TO 20 CON 2 PT LOTS 16 20 AND 21 in the former township of Hinchinbrooke; subject to the following conditions:
- That all costs associated with surveying, legal fees, and the preparation and registration of all necessary documents be borne entirely by the purchaser;
- That the surveyed boundary of the lot addition be established no closer than 10 metres (33 feet) from the centreline of the traveled portion of the trail, with the exact location to be confirmed through the survey process.
- That the purchaser ensures that the subject lands are rezoned to meet the proposed use with the Township of Central Frontenac prior to completion of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale;
- The purchaser agrees to provide space for public art on the subject property, the details of which—including location, size, and form—shall be determined through a separate agreement with the County once site plan is confirmed.
- That the purchase price for the 0.19 acre parcel is $5,600 plus any applicable taxes. And Further That in accordance with By-law 2025-013 the Council of the County of Frontenac pass a by-law later in the meeting to declare the subject lands surplus for the purpose of transferring portions of the former K&P to 11628 Road 28 for the purpose of a lot addition to a commercial property.

And Further That the Clerk be directed to give public notice of Council’s intention in accordance with By-law No. 2025-013. Background Since 2009, The County of Frontenac has developed approximately 78 km of the former Kingston and Pembroke rail corridor to a multi-use trail stretching from the City of Kingston to the community of Snow Road Station in the Township of North Frontenac. The subject property was acquired by the County as part of a larger 18.01 km purchase at a cost of $59,047.59, which has since been developed into a multi-use recreational trail known as the Frontenac K&P Trail. The vision for the K&P Trail is that it will form a connecting spine that supports regional connections for Frontenac communities and encourages tourism and economic activity across the region. Comment Earlier this year, the County was approached by the new owners of 11628 Road 38, a former gas bar and general store in the hamlet of Tichborne, located in the Township of Central Frontenac. The new owners are proposing to redevelop the property into a small self-storage facility and inquired about the potential acquisition of adjacent lands on the Frontenac K&P Trail. The subject parcel of land is underutilized, situated between the former general store structure and the trail corridor. In this location, the lands occupied by the K&P Trail exceed the standard trail corridor width of 20 meters (66 feet) established by the Frontenac K&P Trail Management Plan. This was the configuration when the parcel was acquired from Bell Canada in 2008, and the additional width is likely due to the location’s former use as a rail yard. Staff are proposing the disposition of the excess lands located between what would be the standard K&P Trail corridor width and the abutting property at 11628 Road 38, constituting approximately 0.19 acres. A site map of the lands is attached to this report as Appendix A. The subject lands are currently zoned “Open Space” and prior to the condition of the sale, the purchaser will seek to have the lands rezoned to an appropriate commercial zone with the Township of Central Frontenac. Based on information provided/available, the existing structure/building encroaches over the lot lines into the Township owned road allowances for both Road 38 and Fream Street. The redevelopment proposed will remove this structure and rectify the existing encroachment issue by constructing new buildings entirely within the lot lines of the property. The existing lot area is approximately 0.26 acres in size, the proposed 0.19acre lot addition parcel would significantly enlarge the size of this lot, increasing the ability of the property to be redeveloped in conformity with the Township zoning by-law provisions. This larger lot would be better able to accommodate the proposed development. Pursuant to Section 3.1 of By-law 2025-013, being a Sale, Disposition and Land Use ByLaw: Council Recommend Report K&P Trail – Declaration of Surplus Lands for the purpose of transferring excess portions of the K&P Trail to 11628 Road 38 September 17, 2025 Page 2 of 4

Prior to the sale or other disposition of land by the Corporation other than land described in Section 5.1 of this Policy, land must be declared surplus to the needs of the Corporation by Council. Such declaration of surplus shall be made by Council by by-law or by resolution passed at a meeting open to the public. Section 3.3 (c), of By-law 2025-013 removes the requirement of obtaining an appraisal of the fair market value of the land prior to its sale if it is “land that does not have direct access to a highway if sold to the owner of land abutting the land”. Parcel Value The subject parcel is approximately 0.19 acres. Based on the full property’s municipal assessment of $162,000 for the entire 132.69 acres, the proportional assessed value is about $171.00. A more reliable benchmark of market value is a recent County appraisal of similar lands conducted in 2021, which valued 0.12 acres at $4,800. Using this rationale, staff propose a sale price to be set at $5,600. Staff recommend using this rationale as a transparent and reasonable basis for establishing the sale price of the parcel. Should Council wish to confirm the value through a formal appraisal, staff can engage a certified appraiser at an estimated cost of $2,500–$5,000. The purchaser also has agreed to provide space for public art on the subject property, the details of which—including location, size, and form—shall be determined through a separate agreement with the County once site plan is confirmed. Staff recommend that the Agreement of Purchase and Sale include a condition making the transaction subject to the lands being successfully rezoned to a classification that permits the purchaser’s intended use. The purchaser would be responsible for all applications, meeting attendance and costs associated with the rezoning process and would be required to diligently pursue the necessary approvals. Staff are also recommending that third reading of the By-law be given at a future meeting pending the passing of the Zoning By-law Amendment for the lands passed by Township Council. This condition protects both parties by ensuring the lands are suitable for the proposed development before the sale is finalized, as well as the lands not being declared surplus and remaining in the County’s possession. Strategic Priorities Implications Priority 2: Contribute to the Progress of Sustainable Economic Growth and Prosperity Throughout the County Financial Implications All costs associated with the property transaction, including surveying and legal fees, will be borne by the abutting landowner at 11628 Road 38.

Emergency and Transportation Services – Information Report on Mental Health Resources and Ministry of the Solicitor General Application
Recommendation This report is for information purposes only.
Page 86 of 102 Services Information Report on Men… 2025-070 Emergency and Transportation
Background The Ministry of the Solicitor General has received an application from Frontenac Paramedics to receive one time funding for up to $25,000 from the Mental Health Supports for Public Safety Personnel grant. The aim of this grant is to help Public Safety Personnel (P.S.P) and Public Safety Organizations (P.S.O) access programs and courses that focus on mental health promotion, resilience-building, and early intervention supports specifically tailored to P.S.P/P.S.O through the newly established Warrior Health Consortium. The Warrior Health Consortium brings together experts to deliver mental health services to P.S.P and their families. Warrior Health consists of the following partners: Wounded Warriors Canada; Homewood Health; Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (C.A.M.H); Trillium Health Partners; and Boots on the Ground. All of these organizations have extensive experience and expertise in the delivery of mental health programing and supports that provide unique and culturally specific needs to P.S.P. The range of evidence-based programs offered by Warrior Health include: General Wellness Programs; Peer Support Training; Leadership Training; Mindfulness Programs; Supports to reduce mental health stigma; and pre-employment mental health screening and recruitment tools. Comment The average person may experience 1 to 3 potentially psychologically traumatic experiences in their lifetime that may contribute to the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D). Comparatively, a Paramedic is exposed to approximately 100 potentially psychologically traumatic experiences per year that may lead to the development of P.T.S.D. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (W.S.I.B) costs for Frontenac Paramedics continue to rise, and mental health claims make up the majority of those claims. As you can see in the chart below, our W.S.I.B. costs have climbed steadily since 2021. In 2024, the total actual cost of W.S.I.B claims accounted for over 4.5 million dollars. This is approximately 10% of Frontenac Paramedics operating budget. Without meaningful investments in preventative measures, it is likely that these costs will continue to rise.

Page 87 of 102 Services Information Report on Men… 2025-070 Emergency and Transportation
What is harder to quantify are the other human factors that are negatively affected by mental health disorders and P.T.S.D. What we do know, is that Paramedics are more likely to experience all mental health disorders, except Alcohol Use Disorder, when compared to their municipal police and firefighter counterparts (Carleton et al, 2018). Beyond what can be tracked and recorded on a spreadsheet are the personal tolls that P.T.S.D can take on an individual and their friends and family. P.T.S.D has a significant financial cost to the County; however, it also has devastating effects in lost human potential and productivity for individuals experiencing P.T.S.D.
Below is a graphic from the E.O.W.C Advocacy Briefing Package for A.M.O Conference 2025, showing the W.S.I.B costs for E.O.W.C municipalities.

Page 88 of 102 Services Information Report on Men… 2025-070 Emergency and Transportation
Prevention programs for Mental Health Disorders and P.T.S.D are one way of helping Paramedics remain healthy and productive members within the workplace and community. Recommendations Continue to support prevention and mitigation strategies to increase mental wellbeing and support for Paramedics. Financial Implications There are no financial implications associated with this report. Grant decisions have not yet been made by the Ministry of the Solicitor General and a date for such decisions has not been communicated. We are hopeful to find out shortly as services and programs need to be purchased by December 31, 2025, and completed or delivered by March 31, 2026.

Corporate Services – 2025 Second Quarter Financial Summary and Outlook
Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background The County of Frontenac financial summary for the second quarter of 2025 is attached. Comment Variances to budget are generally related to timing differences through the first six months. The commentary below highlights the status of specific, more significant revenue or expense categories, or when a trend has been identified that may impact the remainder of the year’s financial performance relative to budget. Revenue The Year-to-Date operating revenue for the second quarter is $21,372 above budgeted totals. •
User Charges: Revenue from Fairmount residents is $100,861 below what was budgeted through the first two quarters of the year. Through programs that were initiated in response to COVID-19, some residents have private accommodations while paying basic rates, which will be topped-up by the Ministry later. However, based on projections, it is likely that resident revenue will be less than what was budgeted for in 2025 based on the mix of rooms allocated and higher rate reductions. Additionally, revenue for Howe Island ticket and pass revenue is $52,414 less than budget. This is primarily due to residents purchasing through the

township office, which allows more flexible payment options, than the County office. In 2024, Fairmount was successful with a grant application from the Local Priorities Fund for which final payment of $44,155 was received in 2025. Additionally, Fairmount Home received $35,511 for Comprehensive Minor Capital Program from the Ministry, which was unbudgeted. There has also been increased four hours of care funding, which has exceeded budgeted expectations by $392,084 through June. Frontenac Paramedics revenue for the Land Ambulance Service Grant for the province is $357,966 underbudget through June. Ministry funding runs from January to December, and the funding announcements typically occur midway through the year. Ministry revenue should be in line with what was budgeted. Frontenac Paramedics have also received $89,112 in 2025 due to cost recoveries for the Street Health Clinic. Frontenac Paramedics have contracts to provide staffing for this facility and the revenue received covers the expenses incurred to run this program. Investment Income recorded is $25,408 below what was budgeted year-to-date through June. Most of the revenue from the bond portfolio will be received later in the year since the budgeted investment income for 2025 was based on conservative estimates using the best available information at the time the budget was prepared, we believe that we will exceed the amount budgeted. Through the first six months, operating costs for the Community Paramedicine program are $1,109,386. The County receives sufficient funding to offset these expenses and there is no impact on the levy.
Expenses County expenses for 2025 are $108,040 over budget through the first six months of the year. We have seen increased costs for Salaries & Benefits, Materials & Contracted Services. Decreased external transfers (primarily Canada Community Building Fund distributed to area municipalities), which are recorded at year end partially offset these over expenditures. Further context is provided below: Salaries and Benefits •
•
•
Regular Earnings, which measures the wages worked & paid at regular time, are under budget by $1,363,253. However, several other expense lines, that are primarily absence driven, are overbudget such as Overtime (+$564,425), Modified work (+$233,387) and sick leave (+$246,625). Fairmount wage costs are under budget by $381,291, as staffing shortages are pushing budgeted hours from Salaries and Benefits to Contracted Services. Agency staffing costs of $369,940 through June are included within the Contracted Services category. Frontenac Paramedics have seen W.S.I.B-related salary costs of $581,505 through the first two quarters of the year. These costs will be offset through a reserve transfer at year end.

•
Materials are largely tracking on budget from a unit and cost perspective. Differences in relation to the budget can mostly be attributed to timing differences. Fuel costs are under budget by $30,311 through the first six months of the year due to the reduction in gas prices. Given that fuel prices remain low, we are hopeful that we’ll stay within budgeted totals by year end; however, significant variance is always possible given the volatile nature of fuel prices. Frontenac Paramedics are over budget by $63,024 for Medical supplies and $32,867 for Minor Equipment Replacement. These overages are driven by a new supplier of our cardiac monitors/defibrillators and the need to restock inventory levels with compatible supplies. We anticipate that these items will remain over budget this year as a result.
Contracted Services •
• •
As noted above, Fairmount Home incurred $369,940 in agency labour costs through the first six months of the year. The ongoing agency costs are needed to cover staffing shortages and to provide increased care as the County maintains staffing levels at its targeted four hours of care. Frontenac Paramedics are monitoring the vehicle maintenance expenses, as they are over budget by $79,630 through June. The remainder of the variance is attributable to timing differences. Pricing and usage of contracted services are largely tracking towards budget.
Net Capital Expense County capital expense remains in line with projected costs and fluctuations are mainly due to the timing of the transactions. Strategic Plan Implications The mission of Frontenac County is to ensure “the effective, efficient and sustainable delivery of services to citizens”. By publishing the quarterly financial report, the County ensures that Council and the public are aware of the costs incurred by the County in relation to the budget throughout the year. This ensures that the County is accountable to the ratepayer for its revenues and expenditures for the services it provides.
