AGENDA ITEM #b)
Comment The Finance unit annually sets a budget schedule early in the year for the following years budget. This schedule sets out both staff meeting dates and timelines with respect to departmental budget submissions as well as meeting dates for presentation to Council Liaisons and Council. Once this schedule has been developed, it is shared with the Council Liaisons for input and ultimately shared with County Council early in the spring. The budget process schedule begins in September of the year prior to the budget year with a public meeting to solicit public input followed in October by presentations to Liaisons and Council on departmental KPIs and the following years Business Plans & Project Proposals. The full budget deliberations are then done at a Committee of the Whole meeting in November, with the passage of the budget taking place at either the November or December Council meeting. With respect to the 2019 budget deliberations, Section 289(1.1) states: Exception (1.1) Despite subsection (1), a budget for a year immediately following a year in which a regular election is held, may only be adopted in the year to which the budget applies. 2006, c. 32, Sched. A, s. 119 (2). Given that 2018 will be an election year for Ontario municipalities, the budget cannot be considered during the previous year and as such, a separate timeline needs to be established. Although staff recognize that this Council cannot commit the next term of Council to specific dates, staff would like to have the proposed budget dates supported by this Council and provided to the Townships so that these dates can be included in any orientation packages being provided so that these dates can be put into new councilors calendars. This recommendation aligns with the County of Frontenac budget policy which is attached to this report as Appendix A.

Policy Statement The development of a budget is the financial expression of the priorities of the organization . As a public entity the County of Frontenac has also recognized that " respect for the taxpayer" is of paramount importance. In order to provide Council with the tools to make informed financial decisions, the County of Frontenac has adopted a Long Ra nge Financial Planning (LRFP) framework. The LRFP builds upon recommendations received as part of our service delivery review, municipal best practice and the advice of our auditor. Objective: The intent of this budget policy is to : • Enhance the quality of decisions by promoting consistency; •
Establish a timeline for the budget process;
•
Ensure that Council has adequate information to exercise its due dil igence in assessing the budget; and
•
Integrate with other long term planning, financial and management objectives of the County
Princi ples It is recommended that the County of Frontenac budget process be developed based upon the following principles:
•
Transparency: Business plans, budget planning and budget s will be discussed and approved in open meetings of County Council except as permitted by the Municipal Act .
•
Fiduciary Responsibility: It is the fiduciary responsibility of Council and st aff to develop and approve budgets that balance both the short term and long term needs of the County and our cit izens. This difficult balance requires that we use best estimates, likely scenarios, and evaluate risk. Where a risk is known to staff, that risk will be identified to Council in a factual manner for
l
Council consideration. In this regard, staff will use the following t erminology in communicating to Council and taxpayers:

Operational Surplus/ Deficit s: It is recognized that in Ontari o municipalit ies are required to have a balanced budget. As such, County staff will make every effort to manage budget s within th e Council approved allocations. However, within a multi-million dollar budget it is inevitable that unforeseen circumstances will arise, or that decision s made by others (e.g., City or MPAC) will affect the bottom line. Best practice would suggest th at planning for budget surpluses/ deficits is a prudent fiscal management. For the purpose of budget pol icy it is important t o distinguish between budget lines w ithin our control and those beyond our control. In all instances varian ces will be reported at the earliest opportunity to Council. Wh ere an opera tional deficit occurs that is less than 1% (+/ -) of the tota l operat ional budget, staff w ill recom mend th e follow ing in order:

Where an operational surplus/deficit occurs above the 1%+/- tolerance level a full report will be provided to Council with an evaluation of the above options presented and a recommendation provided. Carried Over Projects: While it is the intention of the County to complete projects within the year they are budgeted, in some circumstances it may be necessary to carry over a project to a future year.
- Where levy dollars are being used for a capital project, unexpended capital levy dollars will be temporarily transferred to the capital replacement reserve for use in the subsequent year. This will avoid levying the taxpayer again for an approved project.
- Where reserve dollars are being used for the capital project, dollars will be transferred from the reserve that were not expended in the calendar year.
- Where levy dollars are being used for an incomplete operating project, unexpended levy dollars will be temporarily transferred to the working fund reserve for use in the subsequent year. This will avoid levying the taxpayer again for an approved expense.
CapitalSustainability: The capital sustainability of the assetsof the County is integral to maintaining our commitment to taxpayers as well as a requirement of public sector accounting. Capital sustainability must be viewed in the context of proper capital asset planning, levy planning, as well as our debt and reserve policies. Council established a target of an additional 0.65% tax for the 10 year period from 2015 to 2024. This amount will be reviewed annually and presented to Council at the time of budget . The County will not be a slave to replacement schedules, rather will maintain accurate maintenance logs and condition assessment to ensure that replacement decisions are made at the most appropriate time.

As such, it is not liable for contracting with, employing or terminating a contract with or the employment of any HSP’s Personnel and Volunteers required to carry out this Agreement, nor for the withholding, collection or payment of any taxes, premiums, contributions or any other remittances due to government for the HSP’s Personnel and Volunteers required by the HSP to carry out this Agreement.

Any terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule have the same meaning attributed to them in the main body of this Agreement. The following terms have the following meanings: “Approved Funding” means the allowable subsidy for the Term determined by reconciling the Estimated Provincial Subsidy (as defined below) in accordance with Applicable Law and Applicable Policy “Construction Funding Subsidy” or “CFS” means the funding that the MOHLTC agreed to provide, or to ensure the provision of, to the HSP, in an agreement for the construction, development, redevelopment, retrofitting or upgrading of beds (a “Development Agreement”). “CFS Commitments” means (a) commitments of the HSP related to a Development Agreement, identified in Schedule A of the service agreement in respect of the Home, in effect between the HSP and the LHIN on June 30, 2010, and (b) commitments of the HSP identified in a Development Agreement in respect of beds that were developed or redeveloped and opened for occupancy after June 30, 2010, (including, without limitation, any commitments set out in the HSP’s Application as defined in the Development Agreement, and any conditions agreed to in the Development Agreement in respect of any permitted variances from standard design standards.) “Envelope” is a portion of the Estimated Provincial Subsidy that is designated for a specific use.

The amount of the Estimated Provincial Subsidy shall be calculated on both a monthly basis and an annual basis and will be allocated among the Envelopes and other funding streams applicable to the HSP, including the CFS. 3.2 The Estimated Provincial Subsidy shall be provided to the HSP on a monthly basis in accordance with the monthly calculation described in 3.1 and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Payments will be made to the HSP on or about the twentysecond (22nd) day of each month of the Term. 3.3 CFS will be provided as part of the Estimated Provincial Subsidy and in accordance with the terms of the Development Agreement and Applicable Policy.

Obligation Name: System Patient Flow Type: OBLIGATION (Qualitative & Reportable)
Category: Sector- Long Term Care Reporting Frequency: Semi-Annual
OBLIGATION DETAILS To ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place, all providers are to collaborate to optimize patient flow internal to their organizatin and system wide. Long Term Care Homes (LTCH) will optimize patient flow by: i) reducing the number of low acuity Hospital Emergency Department visits of their residents that can be managed by community resources such as Behaviour Supports Ontario, Nurse Practitioner Nurse Led Outreach Teams, Palliative Pain and Symptom Management Consultants, and other services. ii)decreasing the number of LTCH application refusals, specifically the refusals where the reason given is a lack of nursing and staff expertise in the home to meet the applicant’s needs.
OBLIGATION INTENT For both of the above obligations, the LHIN already has the data to monitor the refusal rates and the Hospital Emergency Room utilization by CTAS level. We are not asking Homes to do this data collection.What we are asking for is that the homes indicate what they are doing to reduce the number of people sent to EMERG for low acuity issues (CTAS 4s and 5s), as well as to reduce the refusals that they have. I expect that we will look at our own data, and then ensure that the activities reported by the home reflect the amount of improvement required in that home.
OBLIGATION MEASURES No data is required. Narrative is required.
OBLIGATION REPORTING DETAILS / GUIDELINES Through the SE Data centre Performance Indicator Initiative (PII) process
DATA SOURCES FOR REPORTING The LHIN Lead will be consolidating the information from H&CC - refusal rates and with DSU for Emerg visits

Re:
Fairmount Home – Strategic Plan 2018-2022
Recommendation Whereas the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007 requires a mission statement for each of the licensee’s long-term care homes that sets out the principles, purpose and philosophy of care of the home and that the mission statement is put into practice in the day-to-day operation of the long-term care home; Resolved That Council of the County of Frontenac accept the Fairmount Home Strategic Plan 2018-2022; And Further That Council direct staff to implement the Fairmount Home Strategic Plan 2018-2022 in the day-to-day operations of the long-term care home. Background According to the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007 (LTCHA), at least once every five years after a mission statement is developed, the licensee shall consult with the Residents’ Council and the Family Council, if any, as to whether revisions are required, and shall invite the staff of the long-term care home and volunteers to participate. Accreditation Canada’s standard for governance includes developing a clear direction for the organization that includes defining the organization’s mission and long-term vision, including broad organizational goals and values. Fairmount Home was accredited by Accreditation Canada in 2015 for a four year period.

AGENDA ITEM #f)
Comment As Fairmount Home’s current strategic plan expired in 2017, the vision, mission and values as well as goals and actions are needed to guide Fairmount during the next five years. J Consulting Group was contracted to lead the strategic planning, which included an environmental scan, engaging with stakeholders, creating the strategic plan update and developing a plan to provide a foundation for future action. Stakeholder engagement was critical to informing the planning process and in setting the overall direction of the plan. Stakeholder engagement included interviews, focus groups, survey and workshop. Over 50 individuals including residents, staff, volunteers, family members, County staff and Council and community partners participated in the development of the plan. The attached document, Fairmount Home Strategic Plan 2018-2022 - Executive Summary, shares our vision, mission, values, goals and key action items. Sustainability Implications An updated mission is required to meet the requirements of the LTCHA. Furthermore, a strategic plan is needed to maintain accreditation status with Accreditation Canada as well as for effective management of the home and its limited resources. Financial Implications Ongoing funding is contingent on meeting the requirements of the LTCHA. Furthermore, accreditation by a ministry approved accreditation body is needed to be eligible for ongoing premium funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As described by staff, residents, volunteers, family members and community partners, Fairmount is home, it is resident-centered care, it is friendly, it is professional, it is caring, it is quality care, and it is family. Built in 1968 on 100 acres in the community of Glenburnie Ontario, Fairmount Home is a 128-bed longterm care home providing 24-hour nursing care. Support services provided at Fairmount include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, restorative therapy, social work, recreational activities, dietary, housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services. Fairmount is funded through the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), resident accommodation fees, the City of Kingston, the County of Frontenac and donations from the community. Fairmount is guided by the Gentlecare® philosophy; a resident-focused care which empowers residents to make as many choices as possible. This philosophy of care ensures everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Staff and volunteers show a strong commitment and passion for this philosophy, embracing it as a culture and attitude. It is a way of life at Fairmount. As the current Strategic Plan for Fairmount has come to an end, it is time to renew Fairmount Home’s vision, mission and values as well as establish goals and actions that will guide Fairmount over the next five years. This Plan sets out this direction. Building on Fairmount’s passion for the Gentlecare® philosophy and strong reputation for quality care, residents, staff, volunteers, family members, County staff, and community partners have come together to set a renewed path for Fairmount Home.

Re:
Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail
Recommendation Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail report; And Further That the Clerk be directed to introduce a by-law later in the meeting to authorize an Application to Approve the Expropriation of Lands for the purposes of the K&P Trail. Background In the fall of 2013, County Council approved the Frontenac Trail K&P Trail Implementation Plan from Tichborne to Sharbot Lake. In March of 2016, recognizing that a negotiation process was necessary with current landowners of the abandoned rail bed between Tichborne and Sharbot Lake Council directed staff to initiate the procurement process based upon the cost estimate/appraisal values provided for the 31 properties required to move the trail forward. Council has been updated on a number of occasions on the progress of land negotiations and have authorize, by by-law, a majority of the purchases required; however three properties have been identified as difficult and require expropriation. Section 6(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that the power of a municipality to acquire land includes the power to expropriate in accordance with the Expropriations Act.

AGENDA ITEM #g)
Comment The County’s efforts to purchase three sections of privately owned lands at market value for the purpose of connecting the Frontenac K&P Trail have been unsuccessful and staff have determined that it is now necessary and in the public interest to apply for approval to expropriate these private lands. The purpose of acquiring these three parcels of land is to link two sections of the Frontenac K&P Trail and thereby ensure its continued longterm viability as a public trail within the Frontenac County Trail System in accordance with the County of Frontenac Trails Master Plan. Before an expropriation can occur, the Expropriating Authority must make an application to the Approval Authority for approval to expropriate land. In some cases, as is the case with the County of Frontenac, the Expropriating Authority and the Approval Authority are the same entity. Section 5(1) of the Expropriation Act states that: Approving authority 5 (1) Subject to subsections (4), (5) and (6), the approving authority in respect of an expropriation shall be the Minister responsible for the administration of the Act in which the power to expropriate is granted, except that, (a) where a municipality or a local board thereof, other than an elected school board, expropriates lands for municipal purposes, the approving authority shall be the council of the municipality. Pursuant to Section 6(1) of the Expropriations Act, upon applying for approval, a Notice of Intention for approval to expropriate must be served on each registered owner. The Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate must also be published in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. Once the landowner receives a Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate they have 30 days in which to exercise the option of requesting a Hearing of Necessity. A Notice of Possession indicating the date on which the expropriating authority requires possession of the lands, and a Notice of Election, which permits the owner to select one of three dates upon which compensation for the lands expropriated will be based are also required. The purpose of this report is to seek from the Approval Authority (that being County Council) approval to expropriate three (3) parcels of land being legally described as: a. Part of Lot 9, Concession 11, Olden, being part of PIN 36225-0340; b. Part of Lot 3, Concession 1, Bedford, being part of PIN 36238-0293; c. Part of Lot 3, Concession 1, Oso, being part of Part 2, 13R-2410 Except OA154 MRO; S/T FR550114, OD2735, being part of PIN 36327-0158; Upon approval, staff, in consultation with the County’s solicitors will commence the expropriation process.

AGENDA ITEM #g)
Sustainability Implications The completion of the K&P trail to Sharbot Lake is a key economic objective for the County and included in the Directions for our Future, the Economic Development Charter and has been the subject of four studies since 2009. Financial Implications There is the presumption of full compensation for all losses caused by an expropriation. The Expropriations Act provides for the following with respect to costs afforded the landowner: Compensation 13 (1) Where land is expropriated, the expropriating authority shall pay the owner such compensation as is determined in accordance with this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 13 (1). Idem (2) Where the land of an owner is expropriated, the compensation payable to the owner shall be based upon, (a) the market value of the land; (b) the damages attributable to disturbance; (c) damages for injurious affection; and (d) any special difficulties in relocation, but, where the market value is based upon a use of the land other than the existing use, no compensation shall be paid under clause (b) for damages attributable to disturbance that would have been incurred by the owner in using the land for such other use. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 13 (2). Market value 14 (1) The market value of land expropriated is the amount that the land might be expected to realize if sold in the open market by a willing seller to a willing buyer. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26, s. 14 (1).
Based on survey and appraisal reports performed on behalf of the County to date, the market value of the lands falls within the parameters of negotiation authorized by Council at its March 2016 meeting. Appraisal and expropriation plan fees for the properties are estimated to total $7,500.

Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Rural Urban Liaison Advisory Committee (RULAC) Meetings

In 2015 the CAOs of the City of Kingston and Frontenac County mutually agreed that meetings of the Joint Management Group (comprised of the CAOs and staff of the City and County) were no longer required. Since December 2015, only one RULAC meeting has been held due to a lack of business for the Committee. As a result, the CAOs have mutually agreed to present a report to their respective Councils recommending that future meetings of RULAC only be held at the request of either party, if required, to address a matter of mutual concern or for dispute resolution purposes. Recognizing the dispute resolution role of RULAC as established in the Amalgamation Order and the Local Services Realignment Agreement, it is also being recommended that the County’s Procedural By-Law Schedule C, which automatically appoints members to RULAC be amended to reflect the new meeting requirements of RULAC. Comment As an advisory committee, RULAC does not have any decision making authority and is mandated to provide advice only to the respective municipal councils. The Committee has only met once in the past two years and based on a review of the Meeting Notes, the meetings appear to have been primarily for information sharing purposes with regular reporting by the City and County on such matters as Fairmount Home, Provincial Recommend Report to Council Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Suspension of Rural Urban Liaison Advisory Committee (RULAC) Meetings February 21, 2018 Page 3 of 5

AGENDA ITEM #h)
Offences, Housing, Land Ambulance and Social Programs. Up until 2015, the RULAC meetings were generally preceded by a Joint Management Group meeting. Very few action items resulted from the RULAC meetings and from 2009 to the present there were no motions or reports from RULAC to County Council. Although all meeting notes could not be located, based on a review of meeting notes found (13 meetings) there were a few action items identified at some meetings requiring that staff from either the City or County report back to RULAC at a future meeting. There were no RULAC motions to the respective Councils of either the City or County and any reporting of RULAC at County Council is a verbal update under Reports from External Boards and Committees. Discussions with the City of Kingston found that based on a review of City Council minutes from 2009 to present, there were no reports received from RULAC. Next Steps Based on the information above, there no longer appears to be the need for regular RULAC meetings (Amalgamation Order required RULAC to meet quarterly) and the Local Services Realignment (LSR) is essentially complete and is subject to the LSR Agreement, which Agreement is still in full force and effect. Based on the LSR Agreement, RULAC’s role is primarily one of dispute resolution where issues cannot be resolved by the respective CAOs. The City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac have a well-established working relationship based on trust and a mutual respect for their respective ratepayers. Both City and County staff make themselves available to answer concerns, work with their respective counterparts and attend council meetings when requested to ensure both municipalities are well informed and kept apprised of local issues and concerns that affect residents or impact future budgets. The CAOs for the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac have met to discuss the future of RULAC and it was recognized that based on the provisions of the LSR Agreement, RULAC’s role is primarily one of dispute resolution where an issue of joint concern cannot be resolved by the CAOs. Based on a demonstrated lack of business for RULAC, it was therefore agreed that the CAOs would present a report to their respective Councils recommending that future meetings of RULAC only be held at the request of either the City or the County, if needed, to address a matter of mutual concern or a matter that is in dispute with respect to the delivery of joint services. This would necessitate that the respective Councils continue to appoint members to RULAC on an annual basis so as to avoid any delays should a meeting of RULAC be required; however it should be noted that the County’s Procedural By-law, Schedule C automatically appoints the Warden, Deputy Warden and the County Councillor appointed to the City of Kingston’s Housing and Homelessness Advisory Committee as the County representatives to RULAC. It is noted that Kingston City Council will receive a similar report/recommendation at its meeting on February 20th, 2018. Sustainability Implications Good governance is critical to the sustainability of a community.

Corporate Services – 2018 User Fees and Charges By-law – Schedule C Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning Review
Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Corporate Services – 2018 User Fees and Charges for Services By-law Schedule C Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning review report; And Further That By-law 2013-0010, being a By-law to Impose User Fees and Charges for Services, as amended be further amended by deleting Schedule C in its entirety and replacing with Schedule C attached as Appendix A. Background The Tariff of Fees for land use planning applications was approved in 2000 through Council resolution. In 2015, the rates were adjusted based on a review of the workload associated with applications, comparable fees in other municipalities, and costs to the municipality. The rates have not been adjusted since 2015. Section 69(1) Tariff of fees of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 as amended, states that the council of a municipality, by by-law, and a planning board, by resolution, may establish a tariff of fees for the processing of applications made in respect of planning matters, which tariff shall be designed to meet only the anticipated cost to the municipality or to a committee of adjustment or land division committee constituted by the council of the municipality of to the planning board in respect of the processing of each type of application provided for in the tariff. Section 69(2) Reduction of waiver of fees of the Planning Act, states that despite a tariff of fees established under subsection (1), the council of a municipality, a planning board,

a committee of adjustment or a land division committee in processing an application may reduce the amount of or waive the requirements for the payment of a fee in respect of the application where the council, planning board or committee is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to require payment in accordance with the tariff. A resolution was passed at the January 17th, 2018, Council meeting directing staff to bring forward a report with regard to Schedule C of the User Fees and Charges Bylaw. The resolution read as follows: b)
2018-001 Corporate Services 2018 User Fees and Charges By-law Motion #: 5-18 Moved By: Councillor Inglis Seconded By: Councillor Vandewal Resolved That County Council receive the Corporate Services – 2018 User Fees and Charges for Services By-law report; And Further That By-law 2013-0010, being a By-law to Impose User Fees and Charges for Services, as amended be further amended by deleting Schedules A, B and D through F in their entirety and replacing them with Schedules A, B and D through F attached to this report; And Further That staff be directed to bring forward a report to the February Council meeting outlining planning fees charged by comparator municipalities. Carried As Amended Fee Schedule Review As part of the review process of the current fees, planning staff created a comparative table of the County’s current Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning Services with similar rural development services (attached). Comparative counties considered in the review include: Lanark County, Renfrew County, United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, County of Lennox and Addington, Elgin County, Norfolk County, Haliburton County and Peterborough County. The most recent information obtained from each County’s website is summarized in tabular format (see attached). The review concluded that the County of Frontenac’s Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning Services was comparable, if not slightly higher, than other upper-tier municipalities in the region. The intent of the fee structure is to recover the processing costs while maintaining consistency with neighbouring upper-tier municipalities. County staff recommend a modest increase in the fee structure to reflect rising costs and increasing work associated with planning application processing and review. The fee structure has not been updated in the last three years to reflect these costs. It is also being recommended that the County retain a deposit for any additional costs (e.g. recirculation, legal fees) beyond the price of the application fee and make this standard (as opposed to the current where it may be requested). Further, it is recommended that Recommend Report – Corporate Services – 2018 User Fees and Charges for Services By-law Schedule C Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning Services Review February 21, 2018 Page 2 of 4

AGENDA ITEM #i)
County Council increase the fees for re-circulation to accommodate holding an additional meeting. It is proposed that the fees be adjusted as follows:
Subdivision/condominium application for less than 21 lots: Increase from $3,000 to $3,250
Subdivision/condominium application for 21-50 lots: Increase from $4,500 to $4,750
Subdivision/condominium application for more than 50 lots: Increase from $6,000 to $6,250
Major plan revision: Increase from $1,250 to $1,500
Deposit for subdivision/condominium applications: New $5,000 deposit
Requirement for an additional public meeting (excluding major plan revision): New fee of $750
County Official Plan Amendment (Site or Area Specific): New $1,750
Planning staff are of the opinion that a comprehensive review of land use planning fees (including review of comparator municipalities) should be completed every two years. This will ensure that the fee meets only the anticipated costs of processing the application and that the County remains competitive with neighbouring municipalities. Setting a timeline for review of the fees will create a transparent process where the applicant is aware of when changes may occur. A set schedule for increases in fees is consistent with other agencies associated with planning applications (e.g. public health, conservation authorities). Comment User fees collected for land use planning are to recover the processing costs associated with each application. As such, user fees do not consider the costs of development sales (such as housing costs) or profit. It is advised that planning fees are consistent with comparative municipalities to not deter future development in the County; the proposed fees are slightly higher but consistent with comparative upper-tier municipalities. County planning fees are primarily collected for Plans of Subdivision and Condominium, services for these types of applications are a County responsibility and as such, these costs/fees are not passed along to the Township. However, the Township is responsible for setting fees for lower-tier planning applications such as severances, minor variances, and zoning by-law amendments. Sustainability Implications Governance – Financial planning must be linked to the goals of the County’s Directions for Our Future, and must also be utilized to appropriately allocate resources in line with Council’s strategic priorities.

Financial Implications The user fees and charges for services rates have been reflected in the 2018 Budget to the extent these could be estimated. Planning fees are not subject to applicable taxes. Developers may express concern with the increases of the Tariff of Fees for Land Use Planning Services. The increases proposed are modest and reflect rising costs of processing applications.

Re:
Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Long Term Care Bed Capacity
Recommendation Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Long Term Care Bed Capacity report; And Further That the Administrator, Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Corporate Services/Treasurer further investigate proceeding with an application for increased Long-Term Care Bed Capacity in response to the recent call for submissions from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care; And Further That if feasible, submit an application for consideration by the Ministry prior to the March 2, 2018 dead line. And Further That is understood that the application does not commit the County to further expenditures without further reporting from staff and direction from Council. Background Last November, the Government of Ontario launched Aging with Confidence: Ontario’s Action Plan for Seniors (Aging with Confidence) that outlines the government’s vision to help seniors remain independent, healthy, active, safe and socially connected. Aging with Confidence includes commitments related to increased LTC capacity, quality and staffing as part of the care continuum. Specifically, the strategy commits to having 5,000 new LTC beds open by 2022 with a total of 30,000 new beds in the next decade. New LTC bed capacity will prioritize those with the highest need as well as those within hospitals who are ready to be discharged and require a LTC home. New LTC bed capacity will also prioritize culturally specific needs, francophone, and Indigenous populations. The deadline for submission was announced on February 13, 2018 with a deadline for consideration by the Ministry is March 2, 2018.

AGENDA ITEM #j)
The Long-Term Care Home Act, S.O. 2007, Section 119 requires every single tier Southern Ontario municipality to maintain a municipal long-term care home. Comment Recognizing the growing demand for LTC beds in Frontenac and Kingston and the high demand for placement at Fairmount, staff believe that there may be an opportunity to begin the process of entering into discussions with the LHIN, the City and the community, with a view towards an expansion in the early to mid-2020’s. This effort would support Council’s goal with respect to seniors, in particular providing more opportunity to age in the community. Fairmount Home was substantially re-developed and expanded in 2002. The debenture for this project will be expiring in 2022. While applying for bed expansion has not been discussed with Council, the opportunity to participate now presents itself. It is also recognized that this is likely a multi-round exercise. For example, in the lead up to the 2002 reconstruction, the County was successful in their third submission. Staking our position early and working with MOHLTC and the LHIN will be helpful in the long run. In speaking with CAO’s from other Counties and other Long-Term Care facilities, it is anticipated that the process, from funding approval to construction will likely be 3-5 years and as long as 5-7 years for the completion of construction. Clearly this is a long-range project. Preparation for making the submission would include discussions with the LHIN and with engineering resources. But it is not a certainty that staff could meet the deadline. Our interest at this point is to seek direction from Council on whether or not to pursue the opportunity. Should the direction be provided to investigate, staff will ensure that if the submission is made, that it can be completed as an expression of interest, rather than a commitment to proceed. An expansion of 32 or 64 beds would make the most economical/efficient use of resources and fixed costs. Sustainability Implications Ensuring care for our vulnerable seniors’ population will help ensure that our citizens have viable options for their long-term care needs. Financial Implications The engineering support required to complete the application is anticipated to be $2,000 – $3,000.

Planning and Economic Development – Authorization to enter into an agreement with Minister of Transportation for the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program for the 2017-2018 year
Recommendation Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Planning and Economic Development – Authorization to enter into an agreement with the Minister of Transportation for the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program for the 2017-2018 year report; And Further That the Council of the County of Frontenac pass a by-law authorizing the Warden and Clerk to enter into an agreement with the Minister of Transportation for the Province of Ontario for funding under the dedicated Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program (OMCC) for the 2017-2018 funding year. Background The Council of the County of Frontenac at its regular meeting held September 20, 2017, received Report 2017-116, Planning and Economic Development – Participation in Ontario Commuter Cycling Program (OMCCP), which advised Council of an active transportation funding opportunity through the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program. This allocation based funding program provides dedicated annual support for the implementation of commuter cycling infrastructure in order to encourage more people to get out of their cars for daily commuting or other frequent trips, such as regular visits to friends, family, or to local retailers such as grocers, the pharmacy, etc.

AGENDA ITEM #k)
At that same meeting, the following resolution was passed: Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Planning and Economic Development – Participation in Ontario Commuter Cycling Program (OMCCP) report for information; And Further That the Warden and Clerk be authorized to sign a declaration of interest to participate in the Ontario Municipal Commuter Cycling Program for 2017; And Further That Council direct staff to develop terms of reference and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Active Transportation Master Plan and Trails Master Plan Update; And Further That Council direct County staff to consult with Township Public Works staff on a coordinated approach to implementation and commuter cycling infrastructure project management. Staff have been advised via email that, based on the updated funding amount available, the 2017 OMCC allocation for the County of Frontenac is $120,177.19. This funding can be used to cover up to 80% of the eligible costs of the projects on the list that the County submitted with its application. The OMCC program provides only capital funding and does not provide funding for maintenance, operational costs or planning (other than the development of cycling plans). Prior to investment in commuter cycling infrastructure projects, a cycling or active transportation plan must be in process, or in place. The province will provide 50% funding for an Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) from the amount allocated above. The remaining dollars may roll over to future years and combined with future applications to address infrastructure projects identified in the ATMP and on the MTO approved a list of commuter cycling projects. An RFP for the Active Transportation Master Plan was issued on February 12, 2018. In order to receive the funding, the execution of a Transfer Payment Agreement (TPA) is required as the final step in the approval process and will confirm the conditions under which funding would be provided. If a TPA is not signed, the province will not reimburse any costs incurred in relation to the projects identified in the County’s application. In addition, a by-law authorizing the TPA will need to be passed by Council prior to receipt of the funding. A copy of the by-law must be provided to OMCC program staff before funding flows. Comment Council granted the Warden and Clerk authorization to complete this agreement through bylaw at its meeting on December 20, 2017, however MTO has since communicated that

additional provisions must be included in the authorizing bylaw, as drafted in Appendix A, which must be submitted to MTO by March 15th, 2018. Sustainability Implications By investing in safe cycling infrastructure, on and off road, the County encourages healthy habits in our community members in addition to promoting the reduction of GHG gases emitted through the reduction of trips made by motor vehicle. Safe recreational cycling routes can increase and sustain active lifestyle tourism, attracting new visitors and residents to our region who seek a recreational, rural lifestyle. Financial Implications As noted in the report, the OMCC allocation for the County of Frontenac is $120,177.19. The County will use these funds for an Active Transportation Master Plan and funding for a segment of the K&P Trail.

Re:
Emergency and Transportation Services – High Value Asset Management and Tracking
Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background It has recently been determined that two (2) high value assets within Frontenac Paramedic Services (FPS) have been lost/stolen. The items are one (1) LP15 Monitor/Defibrillator (value ~$33,000) and one (1) Panasonic CF19 tablet (value ~$4500). The losses have been reported to police and insurance claims submitted. Comment The management and tracking of high value assets has been on the priority list at FPS each budget year for some time. However, due to competing priorities, it has not made the list to proceed to a budget proposal at Council. FPS is now exploring options for tracking of high value assets through radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. Sustainability Implications Regular review of replacement schedules ensures the County is managing its capital assets by controlling both capital investments and maintenance expenses. Financial Implications A new Panasonic CF19 tablet and LP15 Monitor/Defibrillator will have to be replaced and purchased at an estimated cost of $4,500 and $33,000 respectively. It is our expectation that these costs will be covered through the insurance claim.

Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background The following information is an update regarding the activities/challenges at Fairmount Home from October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 as well as significant updates in January 2018. Comment Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care During the fourth quarter, there were no complaints logged with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). In January 2018, the MOHLTC conducted its annual resident quality inspection (RQI), which resulted in three (3) Written Notifications (WNs) and two (2) Voluntary Plan of Correction (VPC). The WNs were regarding plans of care, administration of drugs and medication incidents. The VPCs were for plans of care and administration of drugs. Management has acted or will be acting on the findings of non-compliance. The ministry inspectors also inspected two (2) outstanding critical incident logs. Thank you to the management and staff who worked professionally and cooperatively with the ministry inspectors. The public versions of the reports were posted at Fairmount Home and provided to the Residents’ Council president and Family Council chairperson. The inspection report is also posted on the Long-Term Care Homes.net website.

Outbreaks On December 27, 2017, a respiratory outbreak (Influenza A) was declared, which ended on January 13, 2018. There were 22 residents affected and one (1) staff member. Unfortunately, on January 15, 2018 another respiratory outbreak (Influenza B) was declared, which ended on January 25, 2018. Seven (7) residents were affected but no staff were affected. As these outbreaks were confirmed to be influenza, the staff immunization policy was initiated. Thank you to the management and staff who were diligent in managing the outbreak. The legislated reporting was completed to the required Ministries including the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), Ministry of Labour (MOL) as well as Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) Public Health. Fire Drill Scenario – Vulnerable Occupancy In accordance with the Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07), long-term care homes are required to conduct a fire drill at least once every year to determine the adequacy of staffing levels for a scenario that has been approved by the Chief Fire Official. This drill is in addition to other required fire drills. On December 5, 2017, the annual fire drill was held that was attended by the Fire Service. The fire drill was successful in both the time to respond to the room of the fire origin and the time to evacuate the residents from the zone or floor area to the point of safety. Congratulations to the management and staff who prepared for and participated in the fire drill scenario. Resident Family Satisfaction Survey According to the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007 (s. 85), long-term care homes shall ensure that, at least once in every year, a survey is taken of the residents and their families to measure their satisfaction with the home and the care, services, programs and goods provided at the home. Fairmount was one of eight (8) LTC homes that worked together to develop a common satisfaction survey that meets the homes’ requirements as well as accreditation standards. There were separate survey questions for residents and POA/family members/friends of residents. The questions remained unchanged from the previous year’s satisfaction survey. For 2017, the participating homes developed a common scoring system for questions that allows for comparison among the homes. Respondents were able to complete the survey using SurveyMonkey or a paper copy. There were 603 survey responses (residents – 364; POA/family member/friend – 239) for among the eight (8) LTC homes, which is a response rate of 0.60 per bed. The overall average score was 90 percent. At Fairmount, there were 61 survey responses, which is a response rate of 0.48 per bed. Although the response rate is less than the homes’ overall average, it increased by 79 percent when compared to 2016 (34 responses; 0.27 response rate). Overall, the satisfaction survey results at 88% were consistent with the previous year at 90%. The Information Report to Council Fairmount Home – Quarterly Update Report February 21, 2018

Resident / Family Annual Satisfaction Survey - 2017 Responses - Comments
Responses - Comments Section - POA/Family/Friend Satisfaction Survey Q11. Do you have any additional comments you would like to add? Resident X is so content here . I am really happy to see this. Thank you. We appreciate the experience of the Fairmount team and openness to answer all of our questions and concerns. We also appreciate the generally positive cheerful attitude of staff and the many activities arranged for the family participation. We appreciate the full time nurse practitioner and access to an experienced physician. I’m very pleased with my mother’s care The PSW’s need more supervision. Their mistakes are rarely corrected. RN’s should regularly observe care and provide feedback to PSW’s. My individual’s room is not kept tidy i.e. clean briefs, gloves, dirty clothes left strewn about the bedroom this does not respect that the room is my individual’s home. Fairmount is a wonderful home with wonderful staff. We are so lucky to have found this home. They try very hard to communicate and provide information. There is also some responsibility on the part of the family to get to know the staff and fill in the occasional gaps in communication. If there is ever a problem I have most often been told that the worker must have been a part-timer.

More funding for more recreational programs that are intimate and inclusive-with trained professionals that know how to engage a small group of residents with a variety of disabilities. Programs tend to be designed to help just those that are higher functioning-when really everyone can be a welcomed participant-not necessarily active-just included! Second floor does not have enough support to ensure all residents have access to fresh air- most can’t negotiate the open and close door systemsthey need to be upgraded Volunteers need to be given the coaching on how to work with individuals that have limited mobility and communication challenges so they feel more comfortable working with those who are often isolated. Technology can help-better communication systems for nurses, better quality and size television-smart tv’s at nurses stations with wireless headsets…tv screens in Physio rooms can help with demonstrations of exercises freeing the physio up to assist those participating in lunchrooms a large high definition tv with rotating programs-outdoors, seasons, travel, cooking, nature etc. would make the space more enjoyable…residents arrive or are moved there earlier and leave later for practical and social reasons….. be with others …the television could be helpful. Overall- Fairmont is doing its best, needs more recreation funding, always more PSW support….and an upgrade in access and support to get to the outdoors, fresh air and technology can help alleviate loneliness and being alone. Decisions that are made are sometimes difficult to reverse when the situation changes. In regard to question #6 we are always promptly informed about changes in medication but not always promptly informed when there is a deterioration in the physical condition of our family member. It seems that sometimes issues requiring medical attention go unnoticed. Overall we are very pleased with the care being received.

Responses - Comments Section - POA/Family/Friend Satisfaction Survey For the most part staff have been very kind to my mother. The biggest issue I see is the lack of communication between staff individuals. It doesn’t appear that there is any cross over or discussion about how each shift went. there has been numerous times when I would mention something that the staff did not seem to be aware of. The other concern I have encountered is frequent clothing missing from my mothers room either via laundry or it seems someone has come in and taken things that have been hanging on her hook. Lastly I am very surprised that staff don’t have more knowledge about Alzheimers patients. On a positive note there are many wonderful staff that do care and want to be employed. I know it can be a very difficult job at times. Everything at the Fairmount home is excellent. I appreciate how clean it is and that it doesn’t smell of urine like so many other homes.

Staff are great but more are needed. I would like them to wear visible name tags. the frontline staff seem unfailingly kind to the residents but THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM! The staffing levels really need to be improved. I would like my parent to be encouraged more to use their walker instead of transporting them to meals in a wheelchair. Concerned about their mobility decreasing. thankful my mom is at Fairmount My Mom is on 1 South and everyone from dietary, housekeeping, maintenance and nursing of course are all respectful and caring individuals!! It can vary from employee to employee. Blind residents should have more individual assistance your staff is doing amazing job We have been very happy with the care that has been provided to our family member! Section - respecting client values, expressed needs and preferences Q17. Additional Comments: I don’t feel like I belong because when addressing me they don’t talk to me like I hear them talk to others like “how are you today”. everything is ok. I don’t have any complaints except instead of the curtain I’d like a door. At night the light shines through on my bed. Bathroom door often left open when toileting Please learn how to communicate with me. Speak slower, more clearly, look at me face-to-face. I don’t think you understand me.

Responses - Comments Section - POA/Family/Friend Satisfaction Survey Section - enhancing quality of life in the care environment and in activities of daily living Q42. Comments would be helpful, especially if you have responded with “sometimes” or “never”: Food often served cold. Meat size too small. Variety not nice at noon. Sandwiches only buttered on one side!! Why? Bake potato served one half. Never heard of that. Are we downsizing? weekends are really boring I got one woman who comes into my room and I like my privacy. I pay for my room. I have a wife who doesn’t live here and she wouldn’t like to hear of a woman coming into my room. Sometimes I get cold vegetables. For programming, they never have anything planned for the weekend. I would like a bigger portion of food please. I don’t go to the night time programs. The French fries are always cold. Resident X is very shy and does not generally like to participate in something with which she’s unfamiliar There could offered more movies on weekends, perhaps making decorations Little/ no programming in evenings, weekends, or holidays. Most programs are better enjoyed by residents who are able bodied and who can communicate without difficulty. Section - end of survey Q51. Additional comments. If you complain at Residents council - Nothing happens. the church services don’t often represent my religion. Last week is was . I don’t attend church. The main drawback is it’s out of the city and there are no buildings around. We are isolated up here from Kingston for services. The only way we can get things is to have someone by them and bring them into me. In Prescott they had a tuck shop.

Pastor Lewis is fantastic. Some days he just makes the days. Resident’s Council is when I get my nails done. The staff are very pleasant. And I enjoyed the Gardens this summer and the place is very clean and I enjoy the music and entertainment. This is a great place to live. I am happy at Fairmount The only complaint is there are not enough PSWs at times because the government is not giving us enough money for what is needed. I am independent, I speak my mind.

Planning and Economic Development – Needs Assessment for Senior’s Housing in the Township of North Frontenac
Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background At the June 18, 2014 County Council meeting, Council authorized the following resolution: c)
2014-102 Senior’s Housing Task Force (Wolfe Island) – Request for Proposals and Preliminary Pro Forma Cash Flow Motion #: 149-14
Moved By: Seconded By:
Councillor Purdon Councillor Gutowski
Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive report 2014103 - Senior’s Housing Task Force (Wolfe Island) – Request for Proposals and Preliminary Pro-Forma Cash Flow; And Further That staff be directed to issue a Request for Proposals for a Business Plan for the Frontenac Islands Senior’s Housing Business Plan, (to a maximum upset of $25,000) plus costing for second and subsequent iterations and that the Warden and Clerk be authorized to sign a contract with the successful consultant; And Further That funding for the business plan be taken from monies allocated by County Council for Senior’s projects based upon the formula noted in the report;

AGENDA ITEM #c)
And Finally That the successful Consultant report back to County Council on the project by October 15, 2014. CARRIED SHS Consulting was the successful proponent of the RFP and within its submission identified that, as per the terms of reference of the RFP, would be prepared to undertake subsequent business plans for each of the Townships at a maximum upset rate of $5,000. Comment The Seniors Housing Task Force – North Frontenac had its first meeting on January 9th, 2018 with Ken Foulds of Re/fact consulting in order to best determine what is required in North Frontenac as well as how to best determine what the needs are in the community. Warden Higgins noted at the meeting that the Township of North Frontenac is in the process of currently updating its Strategic Plan, which includes seniors housing as a priority item for 2018. He noted that public input would indicate a portion of seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes and a portion would prefer the development of a senior’s complex so the Township would like to look at a study to determine what the want and need is in the community. The questions being considered by North Frontenac at this time are: Should the Township consider in-home care, the funding provided by the County will run out over time. A physical building will require a mortgage and the Township already has one existing mortgage as a result of the recent construction/addition of its Township offices and it is questionable if the Township can afford another mortgage. The Township is also looking at the possibility of the community wellness centre that could provide in home care. The Township would like to have a formal study to find out what its residents prefer and then take a strategic approach based on that input. Residents in North Frontenac are unique as many live on a minimal fixed income so if seniors housing units are based on market value it would be unaffordable. To add to this, North Frontenac does not have amenities or a tax base to support subsidizing a project. The Council of the Township of North Frontenac received an update report on the project scope from both the Chief Administrative Officer of the Township of North Frontenac as well as Task Force members Warden Higgins and Mr. Vernon Hermer, North Frontenac Council representative and supports the direction of the Task Force and at its meeting held January 26, 2018 passed the following resolution, which is attached to this report as Appendix A: Be It Resolved That Council receives Mayors Higgins, Councillor Hermer and the Chief Administrative Officer’s Administrative Report entitled “Seniors Housing” for information purposes;

AGENDA ITEM #c)
And That Council have identified affordable Seniors Housing as a priority for 2018 and Council supports moving forward with the development of a Needs Assessment (study/analysis) to identify our local needs and affordability, prior to a Business Plan; And That Council request the County to fund the Needs Assessment for North Frontenac Township from the County funds earmarked for senior’s projects. Carried SHS has advised staff that following the discussion at the January 9th meeting of the North Frontenac Task Force, that it was evident that North Frontenac is not 100% clear on the needs and eventual solution it may need, and as such, the content of the business plan may not just be a replication of the Frontenac Islands 5 pod approach and may even consider a non-brick and mortar approach. Since it is unknown what the needs will reflect and the direction that North Frontenac will set for a concept, the consultants have suggested that the County work on the $5K business plan assumption and proceed to execute the needs survey. Based on what this reveals and what the Township decides it wants to do housing-wise, will determine if a scope adjustment will be required in terms of completing the business plan. If the business plan is markedly departing from the 5 pod concept and results in additional work for the consultants, an upward adjustment would be warranted and they would need to go through a scope/budget adjustment process with the Township and County at that time. Should this occur, a report will need to come back to Council for approval and a letter of engagement would be required from the consultants. Sustainability Implications As noted in Directions for our Future, Housing Vision Statement, the County of Frontenac has a diversity of housing types, tenures, and price ranges to meet the needs of permanent residents at different income levels. Seniors, youth, rural poor and others have options to stay in their communities if they choose, perhaps living in their homes with support services, or in long-term care or transition/assisted living facilities. Financial Implications As noted, the senior’s objective of the strategic plan, including financial implications was approved by Council during the 2014 budget deliberations. The preliminary amount assigned to this objective was $1.5M, with $100k dedicated to transportation related objectives, and the remaining $1.4M to be split evenly between each municipality for senior’s housing after the cost of each feasibility study. The following expenses have been dispensed by the County of Frontenac as of January 31, 2018: Construction Costs - Amount Incurred by Township Opening Balance
1,400,000.00

Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background At its February 15th, 2017 meeting County Council received a report and briefing regarding the Kingston and Region Interoperability Safety and Security (KISS) Project. The KISS project is focused on establishing a central information hub between Dispatch Centres and regional first responders, in order to allow for key incident data to be shared in real time, in order to optimize response times and capabilities during an emergency situation.

Paramedic Services (FPS) participation through the Kingston Central Ambulance Communication Centre (KCACC). CARRIED Comment A meeting was held, after several postponements and cancellations, on Thursday November 9th, 2017 with MPP Sophie Kiwala. In attendance were Warden Ron Vandewal, Councillor Natalie Nossal and Chief Paul Charbonneau. The County briefed Ms. Kiwala regarding our frustration of having received conflicting answers and no approval, from the government, regarding our participation in the KISS project. It was discussed that cost was not a factor for the government as the project is supported by $1.5 million in funding from the Canadian Safety and Security Program of Defence Research and Development Canada in partnership with Public Safety Canada. MPP Kiwala committed to speaking with the Minister of Health on behalf of the County of Frontenac. The project information and copies of all correspondence between Chief Charbonneau and Director Donna Piasentini of the Emergency Health Program Management and Delivery Branch were shared with Ms. Kiwala’s office on November 11th, 2017. As of this date, no formal response has been received from MPP Kiwala’s office nor Emergency Health Program Management and Delivery Branch.

Policy:
The Event Incentive Pilot program will be used to help event promoters and organizers reach new markets and attract visitors to the Frontenac region to participate in new and expanding events. The incentive program will also encourage the development of new events #InFrontenac, especially those that take place in winter, spring, and fall.
Objective:
The program will:
Effective Date: February 21, 2018
Establish a clear process for the County to provide financial support to Frontenac events and maximize the economic impact of the County’s investment.
Enable better year-over-year tracking of visitors to Frontenac. Visitor is defined as an individual who has travelled 40 km or more to experience a destination.
Encourage new and existing events to reach for new visitor markets, increasing exposure of the region to new audiences.
Encourage new and existing events to enhance programming in an effort to appeal to a more visitor-oriented audience.
Provide support to third party event organizers, relieving pressure from municipal staff to facilitate new events.
Procedure: The incentive will be granted as follows: $10 per tourist attracted to Frontenac
- “Tourist” is defined as anyone who does not live in Frontenac or Kingston and who has to travel 40km or further to participate in the event.

- Event attendees travelling from within Frontenac or the City of Kingston but over 40km can be considered for the incentive but at a lower value because they are less likely to stay in local accommodations or visit restaurants, retailers or other merchants in the area as a part of their event attendance. The value of the lower incentive will be determined based on other event priorities such as season, type of event, and whether it is an existing event or not.
- Additional considerations to support a request for incentive funding include:
The event is in its first year
The event takes place in an off-peak season (Sept – June)
- Event organizers will be required to provide the County with anonymous visitor data including: a. Number of attendees b. Geographic distribution of attendees c. Known spending of attendees (such as ticket sales) d. Marketing efforts and audience metrics (social media, website visits) e. Other relevant visitor data (event-dependent)
- Successful applicants will receive a letter of understanding (LOI) from Frontenac County outlining the terms of the incentive agreement.
- The incentive agreement will be in place prior to the execution of the event, however funds will not be distributed until after the event, when the organizer submits the event report demonstrating the target defined in the agreement has been reached. Events that do not reach their defined target will still receive a portion of incentive funding, based on a sliding scale. This requirement is to ensure the incentive dollars are used to meet the target attraction level and not used for regular operations of an event.
- County staff will accept applications for incentive funding on an ongoing, first come, first served basis. Information about the program

Deputations and/or Presentations a)
Mr. Jonas Bonnetta addressed the Community Development Advisory Committee regarding his proposal for the County of Frontenac to create a Frontenac Arts Fund to help boost arts and culture in the Frontenacs, a copy of which was attached to the agenda. He noted numerous examples of artists that have visited his studio who have also had interactions with the community at large through local restaurants and how this contributes to the local economy. He noted funding that he has received over the years from upper levels of government that has allowed him the time to create and write and how other municipalities such as Peterborough are starting to offer micro grants at the municipal level. He is suggesting that the grant have an intake of twice per year, during the spring and the fall and that successful artists could sit as jurists for future grants. A recipient would be required to report on the benefit of the grant and how that money was used, such as the number of songs written, or the number of hours of studio time that led to a successful recording. Mr. Bonnetta stated that he is planning on starting a Frontenac Arts Council and is hoping that the County will partner with this as this is a necessity in starting an arts hub in the County. Ms. Hunter noted the arts studios in North Frontenac and the various artists in the County. She cautioned that we not duplicate what is already being offered through the CFDC. Regarding questions on how this would be phased in and submissions prioritized, Mr. Bonnetta visualizes a single intake form that would include the amount being requested, an overview of the proposal, and where the grant funding would be spent. He is suggesting a jury of a few artists, possibly a few CDAC members, with a one month intake time followed by an approval period. Artists would be given 6 months to a year to complete their final

AGENDA ITEM #a)
report and any material publicized would be required to have the Frontenac logo on it, as this material has the potential to go around the world. Councillor McDougall cautioned that as presented, this appears to be less encompassing and lacks a creative energy from the community. Mr. Bonnetta noted that an arts council needs to happen and an arts fund pulls people out of the woodwork. In addition, an arts council is able to apply for other funding and would stand a higher chance of receiving it than if he alone were to apply on behalf of the County. He noted arts councils in other municipalities that not only receive grants but also received discounts at local businesses. Mr. Allen noted that this is a Community Development Advisory Committee and this is part of that larger community. The structure and function is what we are trying to figure out. He wants to ensure that what staff come up with is in line with the discussions taking place today. Staff will continue to work on the motion passed by council. b)
Mr. Wayne Conway, The Verona Community Association addressed the Community Development Advisory Committee to present a statement regarding the development of the Verona Trail Head. He provided an overview of his submission which was distributed at the meeting, a copy of which is attached to the record in the Clerk’s Office. He noted that his priority is the kiosk as he committed to the car dealership where it is currently located that the kiosk would be removed. Councillor McDougall reminded Mr. Conway about the accessibility requirements of any features being placed on the site and it was questioned if there is any coordination taking place as it appears the VCA is acting on its own to add enhancements to the site. Mr. Allen noted that most enhancements have been suggested during the public meeting and the report later in the meeting recommends formalizing the coordination with the VCA.

2018-011 Community Development Advisory Committee Verona Trailhead Design Concept Moved By: Warden Higgins Seconded By: Ms. Vanderburgt That staff proceed with detailed design work for the Verona Trailhead concept, incorporating feedback from the committee; And Further That staff be directed to seek an agreement with the Verona Community Association to add amenities purchased by the VCA to the Verona Trailhead site and to assist with site maintenance; And Further That staff be directed to further investigate a public art installation and community engagement process; And Further That staff be directed to review options for permitted parking uses on the Verona Trailhead property; And Further That any costs associated with the implement of the Verona Trail Head as noted in this report will be brought back to Council for approval prior to any development. Carried as Amended (See motion to Amend below which was Carried) Motion to Amend Moved By: Seconded By:
Ms. Hunter Warden Higgins
That the third clause be amended to delete the words “with Stefan Duerst, sculpture artist” Carried Mr. Allen provided an overview of the report and presented a draft drawing of the proposed parking lot. Mr. Pender noted that these are just preliminary drawings and discussion as this will be required to go to the Accessibility Advisory Committee and any designs will need to comply with the AODA. On a larger scale, this is the first of four trail heads, with the plan to have one in each township so what is set here is setting the groundwork for future sites. Through the public consultation process, staff have heard loud and clear that there needs to be flexible parking for trucks and trailers. Preliminary discussions with the Township of South Frontenac Public Works also requires that sightlines need to be maintained and unobstructed. The design will be finalized over the next few weeks but changes will likely be required as the initial drawings were done based on the ground currently being snow covered. The recommended concept will be subject to review Community Development Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes February 8, 2018

AGENDA ITEM #a)
from Public Works in South Frontenac and by the Accessibility Advisory Committee. Either option will provide the same number of parking spaces. Ms. Hunter cautioned that the picnic area have one accessible picnic table, and feels that the format would need to be paved or parking will be all over the place. After discussion of both options, Option 1 appeared to be the preferred option for the parking lot. With respect to costs and where such costs will be allocated, Mr. Allen advised that staff have not yet allocated implementation dollars for this project but suspects a budget project submission will be included in the 2019 budget. That being said, the County does have a capital budget line and a trails maintenance budget line and any capital dollars will not come from the maintenance budget. It was suggested that there could be a potential partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources as they could have wildlife regulations posted on the kiosk. Mr. Allen provided an overviewed of the public art installation discussions, noting that this attempts to link this trail head with Mr. Duerst’s sculpture park. It was noted that there is no recognition of the uniqueness of Verona, and that the art should reflect the heritage of Verona. It was questioned if there are other artisans in the area that might want to contribute. Staff will need to ensure that any procurement of art falls within the County’s Procurement Policy but staff could pursue conversations with other artists. c)
2018-012 Community Development Advisory Committee Event Incentive Pilot Program Implementation Moved By: Ms. Kenny Seconded By: Mr. Gilbert THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac approve the Event Incentive Pilot Program implementation Plan attached to this report as Appendix A. Carried Mr. Allen provided an overview of the report. It was questioned how it will be determined who will be considered a tourist as many who reside outside of the community such as in Ottawa, own seasonal cottages in the Frontenacs and the Committee would want to ensure that these individuals are not counted when determining the number of those attracted to the event. Warden Higgins exited the meeting at 12:30

Draft Conditions Request from South Frontenac. He noted with respect to access to the Cataraqui Trail, the CRCA does not provide public access to abutting properties.. To provide all lots access to the trail an easement is required across lots 1-3; this easement would need to be located in the protected setback of the rear wetland. From a practical point of view this does not make sense. He noted that this is not Council’s jurisdiction, this is a private matter and there is no public interest. The only practical place to put the easement is in the setback of the water bodies (wetland). He stated that this is setting a precedence as the County will be going against the intent of the Township of South Frontenac. He is asking that this condition be deleted. 7.

Resolution Moved by: Warden Higgins Seconded by: Councillor McDougall At the February 2018 Council meeting Warden Higgins provided a notice of motion regarding election of Warden and Deputy Warden, Council Liaisons and External Boards and Committees. Overview The following represents the current procedural bylaw process for election of the Warden and Deputy Warden, Council Liaisons and External Boards and Committees. I would like to have a Council discussion and possible amendments to ensure the next Council has an updated procedural bylaw related to these items. The intent is not to discontinue or amend any current items for the remaining term of this Council 5. Election of Warden and Deputy Warden The items highlighted in yellow are the items I would like have a Council discussion and possible procedural amendment. This term we identified each Warden for each year right after the municipal elections and then went through the formality of elections each year. As a new Councillor at that time I did not understand the process, the Warden responsibilities and commitments that well and went along with the suggestion at that time. Term of Office

The election of the Warden shall be conducted by the Clerk. Nominations shall be received until Council by Motion closes the nominations.

presentation to Council, not to exceed five minutes in duration. The election of the Warden shall be by secret ballot under the authority and the direction of the Clerk. Pursuant to Section 233 of the Municipal Act, 2001 and amendments thereto, for the purposes of election of Warden, each Member of County Council shall have one vote. If no candidate for Warden receives a majority of the votes cast, the candidate receiving the fewest votes shall be eliminated from the next secret ballot. In the case of a tie for the fewest votes, there will be a second vote of the candidates that tied to determine which candidate will be eliminated from the ballot. In the case of an equality of votes for Warden, the successful
For 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 above I would like to propose that we change this to reflect my thoughts below. That we elect a Warden for either a 2 year or a 4 year term of office versus a one year to allow for improved consistency for staff, residents, businesses and the EOWC alike. That we elect a Deputy Warden on an annual basis to give everyone an opportunity to experience this role and share the responsibility. Change 5.3 to allow any member from Council to be the Deputy Warden (not just the Mayors). Schedule D – Council Liaisons I would like to suggest that these appointments be eliminated. My rationale is that I the input from the Liaisons are duplication of admin reports and I personally find myself not paying attention to the reports for the most part due to the repetition and/or information that I do not find of value. There has also been some confusion about what are the parameters of a Council Liaison. From my perspective it would avoid utilizing staff time with a Councillor in this role and allow them to focus more on their jobs at hand. Another option is that we could keep the Liaison position in place (redefined) and utilize that Council position to address issues as needed through the term. This would allow us to have Council Liaison in place if the need should arise. The Committees from our procedural bylaw are listed below and I would like to have a discussion on each one and determine if they should continue or not. Schedule C – External Boards And Committees With County Council Appointees

The Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Public Health, Board of Health – one member of County Council, appointed for the term of County Council. This body provides advice and makes recommendations to KFLA Public Health on the programs and services to be offered, sets the annual budget and oversees expenditures. 3. The Rural/Urban Liaison Advisory Committee (RULAC) – The Warden, Deputy Warden and the County Councillor appointed to the City of Kingston Housing and Homelessness Advisory Committee for the term of Council, three members of Kingston City Council, the Mayor and two members of Council. The Rural/Urban Liaison Advisory Committee was established by the order of the Minister of Municipal Affairs under Section 25.2(4) of the Municipal Act. The Committee shall meet at least quarterly with the Chief Administrative Officer of the City and the Frontenac Management Board for the purposes of discussing issues arising from joint agreements and recommending solutions to matters of common concern (effective December 1, 2014). To my knowledge this committee needs to be in place as per the Ministry. However I do not believe this is a functioning committee as defined above (Amended by By-law 2014-0019 passed April 16, 2014) 4. The Algonquin Land Claim Municipal Advisory Committee – one member of County Council, appointed for the term of Council. This Committee represents local, County and district governments across and adjacent to the land claim area. The Committee consists of heads of Council, or their designates, for each of the member municipalities. It provides advice to the Ontario negotiation team regarding the municipal implications of the potential transfer of crown lands to Algonquin ownership and the nature of future relationships facing the Algonquins and local municipal governments. The committee consists of Councilor Inglis only and we appear to be non compliant with the committee makeup. It is also a non functioning committee in that during this term of Council in that no advice is now required due to the agreement in principal. Councillor Inglis is the member at the Township level and can provide updates to County as needed. 5. The Frontenac County Youth Justice Advisory Committee – one member of County Council appointed for the term of Council. The purpose of the Youth Justice Advisory Committee is to support the objectives of ensuring there is effective communication and collaboration among key partners working within Youth Justice Services, both informally and at regular meetings held quarterly; sharing youth justice information regarding programs and services, trends and issues with intent to provide creative solutions to address service system gaps; developing Youth Justice protocols, practices and guidelines to ensure optimal navigation through the system, and to promote the provision of effective services for young persons in conflict with the law;

This is an Advisory Committee of the City of Kingston who acts as the Local Service Realignment body for the County of Frontenac. This Committee works to ensure that there is a comprehensive understanding of housing, affordable housing and homelessness issues, initiatives and developments, with a mandate to provide advice to Kingston City Council on housing, publicly assisted affordable housing and homelessness policies, provide advice regarding the implementation of the Municipal Housing Strategy, Homelessness Plan and other municipal housing strategies, policies and directives, provide information and input on housing matters as related to poverty reduction through the appointment of one member of the Housing and Homelessness Advisory Committee to the Poverty Reduction Group, for a term of two years and two members of Housing and Homelessness Advisory Committee to the Poverty Reduction Housing Sub Working Group for a term of two years and to maintain close linkages with other City of Kingston Committees and working groups to ensure co-ordination of housing, affordable housing and homelessness initiatives. Do not see the value in keeping this one?
