Warden’s Inaugural Address
Thank You • Thank you to everyone for being here today… Honour Guard, the Honourable Madam Justice Anne Trousdale, MPs, MPPs, Mayor of Kingston, etc… • Regrets – MPP for Kingston & Islands, Sophie Kiwala; however Ms. Kiwala’s partner Chris Van DerVyer is here on her behalf • Thank you to mover and seconder • Thank you to Council for their confidence 150th • Being Warden, in this our 150th year as an order of government, is an honour and a privilege. I pledge to you that this Council will respect our past as we make decisions over the next year that will affect our citizens for generations to come. • 150th Anniversary – time to look back and a time to look forward… o Looking back: 150th – Historical perspective o Proud heritage – United Empire Loyalists, proud agriculture heritage, logging and tourism o Aboriginal presence – important that we remember we inherited this land from the first inhabitants of Frontenac, including the Algonquin, Mohawk, Iroquois and Huron First Nations people, and the role that aboriginal people have played in our history and the ongoing partnerships we have built. Over this term of council we will continue to be involved in the Treaty Negotiations of the historic Algonquin Territory that lies within the northern half of the County. In the interim, the County will seek opportunities for mutually beneficial engagement with the Algonquins on matters that affect aboriginal history and culture. o In 1865, there were originally 20 townships in the County of Frontenac, and although Kingston has always been a separated city, in 1865, Portsmouth Village actually was in the County, and as we all know until amalgamation in 1998, the former Kingston Township and former Pittsburgh Township were part of the County. The historical connection between the County and the City go beyond geography, to our country’s first prime minister. Sir. John A. Macdonald was a major driver in the development of the City and indirectly, the Frontenacs. MacDonald was heavily involved in land development, buying and selling significant parcels of urban and rural land, and through much of his early political career, he worked hard to promote Kingston-area businesses like road and railway companies, insurance companies, financial institutions, and gas and water companies. Though his riding may

never have included the County, he certainly impacted the way of life in our region. Connection to Wolfe Island Canal He had an interest in the development of the K&P Railway and when he died in 1891, after his body lay in state at Ottawa, it was the K&P that transported his coffin through the County and to Kingston. According to the local publication, In Search of the K&P, “farmers working in their fields stood hat in hand with bowed heads as the train passed them” and crowds gathered at stations all along the railway. o While Mayor Paterson is here – on behalf of Frontenac County and all the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus, I am pleased to confirm a pledge of $3,000 to assist the City of Kingston with the celebration of Sir John A. Proud of Frontenac’s contribution to our first Prime Minister. o Join us for a Homecoming to celebrate the 150th Anniversary – invite friends and family back to celebrate… August 28, 29, 30 at Centennial Park in Harrowsmith for a parade, historical re-enactment, family activities, fireworks, a heritage ball, the Frontenac County Plowing match and more, plus the Canadian Plowing Championships and the Wolfe Island Plowing Match are being held on Wolfe Island during the week leading up to the Anniversary Showcase. It will be a great weekend to come together and bring your friends and family to celebrate the County’s heritage and bright future. High-level themes for next term / first year… • Looking forward: o It has been said that “the measure of a society is how it treats its weakest citizens” • Our role as Council is to set the tone for leadership, stewardship and respect o As colleagues who have been entrusted with making decisions on behalf of all of Frontenac County, we do not have to always agree. o Respectful discourse is a part of a responsible political process. But we should always take each vote as it comes, set aside petty issues and rise to the challenge of improving the lives of all County citizens and support the decisions made by the majority. •
•
Leadership: o Setting the example for responsible governance. o Providing thoughtful direction to staff. o Being leaders in our community. o Listening to citizen concerns. o Representing all County residents when we sit around this table. Stewardship: o Ensuring the highest quality of services, while being mindful of our taxpayers’ abilities to pay o Building a sustainable and resilient community to cope with whatever is thrown at us o Making tough decisions in a compassionate manner

•
Respect: o Respect for taxpayers, o Respect for each other as elected representatives, o Respect for staff who will ultimately be entrusted with carrying out the wishes of Council; and o Respect for other Governments – we need to work with the Townships, City of Kingston L&A, the Province and the Feds… o Finally, respect for the political process by supporting the decisions of the majority of council.
Strategic Priorities (leading into Partnerships) The course for the next four years includes three strategic priorities • Meeting the Aging Tsunami Challenge for Frontenac Seniors. • Meet the emerging “post landfill” Solid Waste Management challenge for Frontenac residents. • Respect for the taxpayer and focused economic development to bring in more non-residential tax revenue.
•
o Rationalize costs through shared services across the Townships and County – this is a theme that emerged during the last term of Council and it will remain a top priority for us. Partnerships will be increasingly important to the vitality of our region as we continue to face tough challenges in the years ahead. We need to make the sharing of services across the County a priority; promoting closer working relationships with the Townships and initiating County-wide programs where they can help us achieve economies of scale. We also need to continue strengthening partnerships with our neighbouring municipalities, especially the City of Kingston. Our delivery of services is interconnected and so too are our constituents – many County residents work in the City and many City residents spend their recreational time in the County. It’s for the benefit of the whole region that this mutually beneficial relationship should flourish. In addition to Townships and City of Kingston, acknowledgement and thanks to our partners: o Library Board o Health Unit o Community Futures Development Corporation, Land O’Lakes Tourist Association, Great Waterway Tourist Region, Frontenac Arch Biosphere. o Northern and Southern Frontenac Community Services o Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus… an important group that allows us to effectively lobby upper levels of government o Volunteer and Citizen appointees to committees
Warden/Deputy Warden Appointments • Keeping our strategic goals in mind, and thinking especially about providing good governance to and respect for the taxpayer, I will suggest at our January meeting that we pass a motion early in 2015 setting out the Warden and Deputy Warden Regular Meeting of Council Minutes December 17, 2014

appointments for each year for the remainder of our term. I hope that my fellow Council members will consider this a smart and prudent approach to succession planning and support the motion in order to have well-prepared Heads of Council for the entire 2015-2018 term. Council and staff • Collegial, respectful and professional, looking out for the greater good … by working together and fostering good relations at this table, and with staff, we will be better equipped to efficiently develop creative solutions. • Part of striving for healthy working relationships, includes adopting a “trust but verify” approach. For example, as Fairmount Home’s Board of Directors, we are ultimately responsible for providing oversight of the home. We need to get informed and involved to ensure we remain accountable. I have asked staff to include in their January report on amendments to the procedural by-law the appointment of Council liaisons for each of the four main areas of County operation: Fairmount Home, Corporate Services, Emergency and Transportation Services and Planning & Economic Development. With Council’s support, this new direction will allow us to mindfully become more in-tune with our areas of responsibility. • In addition to embracing accountability, we have a responsibility as a good employer to ensure mental health programs and other supports are in place for staff. We’ve looked internally and recognized through tracking of absenteeism rates that we have a problem. Some initial steps are being taken to address this issue, and we need to prioritize those programs in order to dutifully look after the health of our employees, remain an employer of choice and continue attracting talented staff. o More work is required and staff will be reporting to us in February. • Our previous Council made some very good progress implementing recommendations through the Service Delivery & Organizational Review. We need to continue encouraging staff to streamline processes to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of services (for example through Lean Six Sigma Reviews). o These changes have set us up for success in our term and we will continue to stress continuous improvement and fiscal responsibility. Conclusion • Finally, the test of whether we achieve these objectives together will not be as much at the ballot box in four years, rather if we can look each other in the eyes, shake hands and say that all of Frontenac County is better for our efforts and teamwork. That we made ethical decision while providing strong leadership to our community, proper stewardship of our resources and respect for this 150 year old institution and the people we serve. • Special thanks to Betty and family • Thank you all for coming. Please stay after the meeting to partake in some refreshments, initiate some dialogue and start making connections. • 2015 will be a wonderful year for Frontenac County.

Corporate Services – Storage and Management Agreement with Queen’s University for the Archival Records of Frontenac County
Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Corporate Services – Storage and Management Agreement with Queen’s University for the Archival Records of Frontenac County report; AND FURTHER THAT the Warden and Clerk be authorized to execute a three-year agreement between the Corporation of the County of Frontenac and Queen’s University at Kingston commencing January 1, 2015, for the management and storage of the collection of County of Frontenac archival records located at Queen’s University, attached as Appendix A, to this Report.
Background The County’s archival records are housed at Queen’s University, in Kathleen Ryan Hall, home of Queen’s University Archives. These archival records, formerly located at the Frontenac County Court House, were sent to Queen’s University for archival purposes in 1998 following the amalgamation of the City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac and include County Council minutes and by-laws, correspondence dating from 1837 to 1970, administrative, legal and financial records, engineering reports, census records, Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Storage and Management Agreement with Queen’s University for the Archival Records of Frontenac County January 21, 2015 Page 1 of 3

AgendaItem#10a)
County planning records, taxation records, architectural drawings, maps, photographs and education records dated 1842 to 1975, including those of Sydenham High School.
Comment The County is required under the Municipal Act, 2001, to preserve those records in its custody and under its control which are deemed to have legal, fiscal, evidential, and/or archival value, regardless of their physical form. Individuals making use of the County’s archival records housed at Queen’s University include staff, citizens, both local and out of County, the legal community, academic scholars, students at Queen’s, genealogists, and with the 150th Anniversary of the County of Frontenac this year, use and access of these records is anticipated to increase. The QUA estimates that on average the County’s archival records are accessed two or three times a month that generally involve a discussion with an archivist and can vary from a simple query to an extremely complex research question that can stretch over lengthy periods of time. The County’s current holdings occupy 31.5 square feet of space of the QUA in Kathleen Ryan Hall. An index of current holdings at QUA is attached to this report as Appendix B. The said Agreement will allow County records to occupy up to a maximum of 50 square feet of space as it has been discovered that there are a number of historical documents/records currently housed in the basement of the County Administrative Building which will be transferred to QUA sometime in 2015. This is being done to protect and conserve these documents as the current location does not meet professional archival standards with respect to humidity and temperature control. To consult the County’s records, researchers use the public reading room maintained by the QUA, and are assisted by the archival records staff who work in the adjacent offices. The records holding spaces in Kathleen Ryan Hall adhere to archival standards for environmental controls, security, shelving and disaster plans, and ongoing monitoring is provided. Staff has held meetings with representatives of Queen’s University, and both parties have acknowledged that while the records have been cared for by Queen’s University Archives free of charge, the status quo is no longer feasible nor sustainable. Subsequently, it was agreed that it was both reasonable and necessary to forge a new agreement between the two parties to ensure ongoing care of the County’s records. As part of the agreement, Queen’s University will undertake periodic conservation reviews of the collection. Such assessments will not include conservation treatment of the collection. If conservation treatment of items of the collection is undertaken, the conservation treatment will be with the permission and approval of, and at the expense of, the County and such conservation treatment will be undertaken only by recognized, accredited conservators employed or hired by the County.

AgendaItem#10a)
Sustainability Implications As noted in Directions for our Future, the County celebrates the arts and local history, and demonstrates the value it places on its artifacts and built heritage. This agreement with Queen’s University Kingston will ensure that the County’s archival records are maintained and managed for future generations.
Financial Implications The proposed storage and management agreement for the Queen’s University Archives to store and manage at present 31.5 square feet of archival records up to a maximum of 50 square feet, entails a $1,000 annual fee for three years (2015 to 2017 inclusive) – a total of $3,000 plus applicable taxes over the three-year term of the agreement. This amount has been included in the annual operating budget for Corporate Services. Archival records that will require conservation attention will be identified by the Queen’s University Archives. Funds to undertake any necessary conservation measures will be included in the annual operating budget Corporate Services during the annual budget process which will require Council approval.

Corporate Services – 2015 Tax Ratios and Tax Rate Reductions
Recommendation RESOLVED THAT Council of the County of Frontenac accept this Corporate Services – 2015 Tax Ratios and Tax Rate Reductions report; AND FURTHER THAT Council consider a by-law, introduced later in the meeting, to reconfirm for 2015 the tax ratios and tax rate reductions currently in place.
Background Under the Municipal Act, subsection 308 (2) requires that the County establish tax ratios. Tax ratios are defined in subsection 308 (3) as “the ratios that the tax rate for each property class must be to the tax rate for the residential property class where the residential property class tax ratio is 1”. The County is required under section 308 (5) of the Act to pass a by-law on or before April 30th each year to establish tax ratios for that year for the upper-tier municipality and its lower tiers. The tax ratio for the managed forests property class prescribed under the Assessment Act is 0.25. Recommend Report Corporate Services – 2015 Tax Ratios and Tax Rate Reductions January 21, 2015

AgendaItem#10b)
The tax ratio for the farm property class prescribed under the Assessment Act is 0.25 or such lower tax ratio as the upper-tier municipality or single-tier municipality may establish. Vacant commercial property is assessed at 70% of the commercial rate and vacant industrial property is taxed at 65% of the industrial as prescribed in the Act. In 1998 after consultation with elected representatives of the four Townships, the County deemed it expedient to establish tax ratios that are within the “range of fairness”.
Comment It is necessary to review the tax ratio by-law each year prior to the presentation of a new budget. In 1998 it was agreed that all assessment classes should be taxed equally, excluding those for which special consideration must be given according to legislation. At that time, and it continues, this acceptance of fair taxing practices can be implemented without having significant implications for any one property class. The current tax ratios and tax rate reductions are:
ASSESSMENT CLASS
TAX RATIO
Residential & Farm Residential 1.0000 Multi-Residential 1.0000 Commercial Occupied 1.0000 Industrial Occupied 1.0000 Pipeline 0.7000 Farmland 0.2500 Managed Forests 0.2500
SUBCLASSES Vacant Land, Vacant Units and Excess Land in the Commercial Property Class Vacant Land, Vacant Units and Excess Land Subclasses in the Industrial Property Class First Subclass of Farmland Awaiting Development for all Property Classes Second Subclass of Farmland Awaiting Development for all Property Classes

Corporate Services – Transfer Ownership of Sydenham Library to the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac
Recommendation RESOLVED THAT Council of the County of Frontenac accept this Corporate Services – Transfer of Ownership of Library to the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac report; AND FURTHER THAT Council direct staff to forward the attached Notice of Transfer of Ownership to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA); AND FURTHER THAT Council consider a by-law, introduced later in the meeting, to transfer ownership of the Sydenham Branch Library to the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac effective November 2, 2015.
Background The County of Frontenac was successful in its application to the Province for the Build Canada fund to support the construction of a new Sydenham Branch Library. The final cost of the building was $2,136,000. Funding from the Provincial and Federal governments under the program totaled $1,432,811. The Township of South Frontenac provided the remaining funding to complete the project.

2015-003 Corporate Services
Page 98 of 250
AgendaItem#10c)
The County was required to sign an agreement which specified ownership of the asset was to be maintained for 10 years after the project’s completion.
Comment The funding agreement indicates that unless agreed to by the Government of Canada and Ontario, the County must retain ownership for a minimum ten (10) years or repay a proportionate amount of the Financial Assistance; however the funding agreement also indicates that repayment of the Financial Assistance will be waived if transfer of ownership is to Canada, Ontario, a Local Government or a Crown Corporation of Ontario meeting certain criteria. Given that the County did not contribute financially to the project and is currently not providing for its replacement in its asset management plan, it is appropriate to transfer ownership of the library to the Township of South Frontenac. In the interest of determining the appropriate process, OMAFRA was contacted. The Ministry indicated that Notice of the intent to transfer the asset must be made at least 180 Business Days’ before the transfer is made. The attached Notice includes the information prescribed by the Ministry.
Financial Implications The legal costs related to the transfer of ownership will be covered by the Township. The County currently has the library in its asset management system, but does not provide for its replacement as part of the capital management plan.

The County of Frontenac is transferring the Sydenham Branch Library to the Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac, which, as a local government, falls within the requirements of the Agreement with respect to eligible transferees.

Recommendation RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Corporate Services – 2014 Fairmount Home Accounts Receivable Write-Offs report; AND FURTHER that Council authorize the Treasurer to write off accounts totalling $18,699.94. Background The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care provides funding to Long Term Care Facilities and sets standard rates for resident payments. Residents are billed monthly for their share of the rent and any other miscellaneous expenditures that have occurred in that month. Overdue accounts are assessed regularly and payment notices forwarded to residents and responsible family members. When the overdue amount exceeds $5,000 legal action is taken to recoup funds. Comment Legal action was pursued against the estate in relation to an overdue account of $14,063.93, but was unsuccessful. The other recommended write-off is $4,663.01, as the resident is deceased and there is no family or estate to pursue.

- THAT Schedule B-2, Trails Advisory Committee, Composition of the Committee be amended to delete Three (3) Members of County Council and add Council Liaison to Planning and Economic Development and Two (2) Members of County Council;

Background Section 238 (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 requires that every municipality must pass a procedure by-law for governing the calling, place and proceedings of meetings. The Council of the County of Frontenac, at its regular meeting held May 15, 2013 adopted By-law 2013-0020, being a by-law to govern the proceedings of the Council and its Committees, the Conduct of Members and the Calling of Meetings.
Comment In December 2013, County Council received its final report from KPMG regarding the Service Delivery and Organization Review of the County of Frontenac. As part of the recommendations contained within the report, staff were tasked with continual ongoing review of procedures to find efficiencies by utilizing best practices and looking at alternative ways of doing business. In May of 2014, the County also hired its new Chief Administrative Officer who again was tasked by Council to find more efficient and effective ways for the County to do business. After a comprehensive review by staff of the proceedings of Council and in an effort to streamline and provide for more efficiency within the process, for Council’s consideration, the following is a summary of proposed amendments to the procedural by-law:
- Section 11 – Order of Business • Amend Section 11.1 to add moving into Committee of the Whole following Proclamations and to Rise and Report following Reports from Advisory Committees. In June, 2013, after amendments were made to the Procedural By-law, County Council began utilizing the Committee of the Whole system to permit more open and informal discussions around specific reports that Council felt warranted a more in-depth review. A review of these meetings indicate that very few reports are actually being deliberated at Committee of the Whole meetings. Given the amount of staff time required to meet deadlines and produce a separate agenda, Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Amendments to County of Frontenac Procedural By-law January 21, 2015

• •
as well as the delay in Council authorization, which on a number of occasions required the calling of a Special Council meeting, staff are recommending that Council move into Committee of the Whole at each regular Council meeting for the majority of its business and then rise and revert back into Council. This will permit more relaxed discussions being sought by Council while at the same time expediting the process and the required Council authorization. Staff will continue to reserve the first Wednesday of each month should a separate Committee of the Whole meeting be required. Amend Section 11.1 to add the Report of Council Liaison appointees; (Please note bullet 4.) Amend Section 11.1 to delete Accounts The Accounts is a listing of all cheques issued and payroll incurred for the month. The cheques are for expenditures made within the approved budget for which the Treasurer has delegated authority to pay. As noted by the County Auditor, this is an administrative function that is not typically found on a municipal Council Agenda. The listing comes out with the name of the payee on the cheque and for confidential reasons, individual names should not be made public on a public agenda. This has caused issues in the past where confidential information was inadvertently listed on the agenda and as such, the Corporation incurred a cost because of it. The Treasurer does provide to Council quarterly variance reports that identify the status of the budget and any issues or concerns would be identified in these reports.
- Add a new Section 13 Duties of Deputy Warden In order to ensure continuity in the absence of the Warden as well as provide training to the Deputy Warden, it is being recommended that a new section be added that identifies the Duties of the Deputy Warden, which includes regular briefing sessions with the Warden and attendance at meetings of a political nature at the request of the Warden. This will ensure that the Deputy Warden becomes familiar with the executive requirements of the County. It is also being recommended that the Deputy Warden be appointed as the Chair of the Committee of the Whole which would provide preliminary training prior to assuming the role of Warden.
- Delete Section 6.5 – Election of Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee of the Whole This has now been added to the Duties of the Deputy Warden.
- Add a new Schedule D – Council Liaisons Through discussions with the Warden, and in an attempt to enhance Council/staff relations, it is being recommended that Council Liaison’s be appointed for each of the County’s four (4) departments, those being Emergency and Transportation Services; Fairmount Home; Corporate Services; and Planning and Economic Development. The purpose of the Council Liaison will be to act as a conduit between County Council and the Senior Leadership Team and will be the primary spokesperson at Council for issues related to the operation of the department.
- Amend Schedule B1 – B3 Advisory Committees to County Council Because the Council Liaisons will be greatly involved with their respective Departments, staff are further recommending that the Council Liaisons also be Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Amendments to County of Frontenac Procedural By-law January 21, 2015

appointed to the County Advisory Committees that fall under the jurisdiction of those Departments. As such, staff are recommending that the Composition of the Committee be amended to reduce the Member of Council appointees by one (1) and replace that reduced Member with the Council Liaison for the respective Department. Given that the 150th Anniversary Planning Advisory Committees Mandate has been fulfilled and that the celebrations and the planning thereof are well underway, it is not being recommended that this Committees Composition be amended. A copy of County of Frontenac Procedural By-law 2013-0020, as amended, is attached to this report as Appendix A for Councils reference.
Sustainability Implications Good governance is critical to the sustainability of a community. A Procedure By-law that provides the necessary framework to guide members of Council fairly and courteously through meetings of Council and Committees aids good decision-making.
Financial Implications There are no financial implications directly associated with this report; however implementation of the proposed staff recommendations will streamline processes and result in a savings of staff time.

Corporate Services – Investing in Ontario Redirection
Recommendation RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive this Corporate Services – Investing in Ontario Redirection report; AND FURTHER that Council pass a bylaw later in the meeting to redirect the remaining Investing in Ontario funds to the K&P Trail. Background In May 2008, the government passed the Investing in Ontario Act. The Act allows the government to use a portion of any unanticipated year-end surplus to address priority public needs as well as reduce the province’s accumulated deficit. Prior to the passage of the Act, all year-end surpluses went towards the reduction of the province’s accumulated deficit. Through regulation, the government designated municipalities as the eligible recipients of payments resulting from the 2007-08 surplus. Ontario municipalities received $1.1 billion in additional funding to support infrastructure investments while the province’s accumulated deficit was reduced by $600 million The municipal allocation was shared among all municipalities, primarily on a per capita basis, based on their 2006 census population. Where two levels of municipal government (e.g. upper tier municipalities such as regions and counties and lower Recommend Report to Council 2015 Corporate Services – Investing in Ontario redirection January 21, 2015

tier cities, towns and townships) exists, the per capita allocation was shared between the upper-tier and lower tier municipalities. The County was notified that it would receive $1,281,033 in Investing in Ontario funding and before the end of 2008 was required to pass a resolution and the following allocations were made: Broadband funding $500,000 Green initiatives $250,000 K&P Trail $250,000 Fairmount Capital projects $200,000 Land Ambulance $ 80,000 In 2010 Council adopted a revised bylaw for distribution of the Investing in Ontario funds as follows. Land Ambulance Fairmount Capital projects K&P Trail Green initiatives Broadband funding
0 $200,000 $300,000 $416,000 $365,000
Comment To date all amounts allocated have been spent other than $248,477 of the amount allocated to Green initiatives. The County has undertaken three microfit solar projects, Palace Road Ambulance Station – roof mounted, Fairmount Home – roof mounted and Sydenham Ambulance Base – ground mounted all of which were funded from the Investing in Ontario reserve. The process to apply and receive approval for projects and subsequently release projects for competitive tender is long and there is no guarantee that projects will be approved. Given that the Investing in Ontario can be used for any capital projects, and given that the K&P trail is an ongoing County project, it would be beneficial to apply the remaining $248,477 to the trail project to utilize the Investing in Ontario fund in a more timely manner. Financial Implications Utilizing the Investing in Ontario reserve for the Trail will leave capacity within the Federal Gas Tax fund for future trail requirements.

Corporate Services – Submission of Application to the AgeFriendly Community Planning Grant Program
Recommendation BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Corporate Services – Submission of Application to the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program report; AND FURTHER THAT Council authorize staff to take the necessary steps to complete and submit an application to the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program by the January 30, 2015 deadline for the development of an Age-Friendly Action Plan for the County of Frontenac.
Background Ontario is accepting applications to help communities address the needs of an aging population through the new Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program. Part of Ontario’s Action Plan for Seniors, the program provides municipalities with funding to plan services and programs that help seniors live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and participate more fully in their communities. Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Submission of Application to the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program January 21, 2015 Page 1 of 3

AgendaItem#10g)
Comment An age-friendly community is a one where policies, services and structures related to the physical and social environments are designed to support and enable older people to live in a secure environment, enjoy good health and continue to participate fully in their communities. Age-friendly planning helps communities assess their needs and can eventually lead to local improvements such as installing automatic doors, adding benches in parks and roadways, increasing accessibility of businesses. Municipalities across the province have been developing these plans in recent years, including the County of Haliburton and the City of Kingston, and other communities worldwide are also looking at this issue through a World Health Organization initiative. The County’s population projections anticipate that from 2011 to 2036, the percentage of the County population aged 55+ will increase from 30% to 36% of the total population. This will be driven by a 44.7% population increase for the 75+ age group. The new Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant will offer a total of up to $1.5 million over two years for short and longer-term projects that take place between June 15, 2015 and March 31, 2017. Funding will support local governments and community organizations to undertake strategic planning with a focus on seniors as outlined in the Age-Friendly Community Planning Guide and lead to the development of local aging plans that will eventually be implemented, evaluated and improved upon. Projects that result in planning, implementation and evaluation of activities that contribute to the creation and ongoing development of age-friendly communities. It should be noted that capital projects are not eligible for grant funding. Grants will be available for amounts up to: $25,000 for small communities (populations under 20,000 residents) $35,000 for medium-sized communities (between 20,000 to 99,999 residents) $50,000 for larger communities (more than 100,000 residents).
• • •
Priority will be given to projects that target small municipalities and communities with diverse populations, and those in rural and remote areas of Ontario. Priority will also be given to communities that have not yet begun age-friendly community planning work or do not have a local age-friendly action plan. One way of building age-friendly communities is to develop an action plan that considers the physical and social environments of seniors. Action plans that take the needs of seniors into consideration translate into the development of policies, programs and services that benefit everyone in a community. An age-friendly plan would also support Council’s strategic direction of addressing transportation and affordable housing for seniors. Future grant programs could also be based on implementing age-friendly plans, similar to other initiatives such as the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) and asset management plans. Staff are recommending that a grant application be completed prior to the January 30, 2015 deadline in order to determine if provincial funding would be available to complete this plan. Should the grant application be successful, a consultant would be retained to Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Submission of Application to the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program January 21, 2015 Page 2 of 3

complete the plan. The consultant would potentially consult with social service agencies, municipal staff, seniors’ groups, and other service providers to develop the plan. As part of the eligibility requirements for this grant program, it was indicated that municipalities should consider working together with their accessibility advisory committee (AAC) if one has been established as these committees make a real difference for people with disabilities in their communities. A report was taken to the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee at its meeting held December 8, 2014 outlining this grant program. As a result, the following resolution was passed by the Committee: Moved By: Seconded By:
Ms. Arsenault Mr. Allen
THAT Committee support the submission of an application to the Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program for the development of an Age-Friendly Community Plan for the County of Frontenac. CARRIED Sustainability Implications Directions for our Future supports the provision services for all ages, and the needs of seniors are particularly emphasized. Seniors’ needs were identified as a priority in the most recent version of Sustainable Actions under the Social Pillar, including the need to increase seniors housing and to reach out to seniors’ community groups. Financial Implications The maximum grant available is $35,000. Should the grant application be successful, it is proposed that a consultant would be hired to complete the project using funding from this grant.

Comment The pilot project protocol has run from June 1, 2014 and has proven to reduce the disruptions to ferry service when paramedics are responding to ambulance calls on Wolfe Island. The protocol is: •
•
For all land ambulance response calls, on Wolfe Island, where the Wolfe Islander III is enroute to Kingston and has passed the Point Fredrick Buoy (KH2), the vessel will continue its voyage, disembark cars and passengers in Kingston; load cars and passengers and return to the Marysville dock. When a request for ambulance response is made, the FPS supervisor is to be notified by dispatch and the supervisor will initiate direct contact with the Captain of the Wolfe Islander III to ascertain and coordinate ferry movements.
During the period of June 1st to November 30th, 2014 paramedics responded to sixtytwo (62) requests for service on Wolfe Island that resulted in forty-five (45) ambulance transports off the island. Of the forty-five (45) transports, 60% of those met the protocol parameters; this resulted in twenty-seven (27) ferry trips not being interrupted and service being continued to the public. MTO has reported that the Captains of the Wolfe Islander III support the program as a permanent solution.

Previous Council Direction The County Planning and Economic Development Department is currently providing land use planning services to three Townships: • • •
Frontenac Islands since October, 2011; Central Frontenac since January, 2014; and North Frontenac since May, 2014.
The idea of the County providing land use planning services to the Townships was first raised by Frontenac County Council during the 2011 budget discussions. Subsequently, staff provided two reports to Council that reviewed planning services provided by other Counties in Eastern Ontario and a proposal to use a cost recovery approach to review all privately initiated applications. Frontenac Islands subsequently was the first Township to enter into a contract with the County at the end of 2011. Four staff reports were presented to County Council during the last term that dealt with the County providing land use planning services to the Townships. All four reports can be read at this web link: http://goo.gl/UbSqwS .
Current Planning Services Model 2011-2014 The County has been using a ‘community benefit model’ in providing planning services to the Townships. This model is used by other County planning departments in Eastern Ontario and based on the premise that a regional government has the ability to overcome disparities based on geography and/or tax base and tax assessment in order to provide equitable services. This is particularly relevant to Frontenac County which has a large physical area with limited fiscal and human resources in local government. Using this model, planning services and billing has been as follows: •
Day to Day Planning Work - no charge to the Townships, citizens, and developers on day-to-day planning issues, including Township meeting attendance, consultation, and telephone inquiries.
•
Planning Applications - All privately-initiated applications (e.g., minor variance, severance, rezoning) are charged for the time involved in the preparation of planning reports and any additional peer review work that may to be completed.
•
Land Use Policy - no charge for policy planning work for the Township such as Official Plan and Zoning By-law updates and major planning studies (e.g., growth management, agricultural assessment, municipal capital facilities by-law). These projects are considered to be in the public interest and benefit the community as a whole. As an example, planning staff are working with Frontenac Islands to completely revise the existing Zoning By-law – a project which began last year and will continue through 2015.

Shared Planning Services – Delivery Options Staff has prepared a chart that provides a list of options for providing planning services to the Townships. Seven different scenarios have been provided:
- No Shared Services - all municipalities do their own land use planning, with no County planning assistance. This is essentially the type of planning service that was in place before County Council approved planning staff to work for three Townships.
- Incremental Cost Model - existing level of service where only private planning applications are billed for service.
- Flat Fee Model - same as (2) however the Townships receiving County planning services would pay an annual ‘retainer’ to the County to cover general costs such as responding to planning inquiries, travel, meeting attendance, etc.
- Shared Staff Model - one planner would be assigned to each municipality and costs associated – all or in part – would be paid by that municipality.
- Partial Cost Recovery Model - planning staff would be employed by the County but would be assigned to work certain days in each municipality based on workload.
- Planning Board - A regional planning board would be established to govern land use planning with members from each municipality. Under this scenario the cost of all planning services would be aggregated and shared.
- Full Contract - all planning services would be contracted out to a consulting firm for the entire County. These scenarios are explained in more detail on the planning services chart, with examples of their use in other jurisdictions in Ontario. There are both qualitative and quantitative differences for each service model. Planning Service Contract Renewal Dates Each contract with the three Townships is renewed on an annual basis. The renewal dates are as follows: • • •
Central Frontenac – January 1st North Frontenac – May 1st Frontenac Islands – October 1st
There is a termination clause in each agreement that either party may at any time, on not less than six months written notice to the other party, terminate the contract without cause.

Sustainability Implications The proposal for the Frontenac County planners to provide professional planning services to the three of the Townships can result in cost savings and efficiencies for the municipal planning application process. It also supports the economic and environmental pillars of Directions for Our Future, and will more closely align economic development with land use planning across the region. It will also promote collaboration between the Townships and the County.
Financial Implications Planning services revenue in 2014 was $4,294.05.

Risks
Increased costs for participating municipalities. County staff will need to be re-structured.
•
Hiring of own staff provides most control. Hiring of a consultant may provide less control, but service can be terminated by providing notice. Potential loss of ‘solutionsoriented’ planning approach and ties with County economic development programs.
•
Each municipality approves a 2 year planning workplan to ensure priorities are addressed.
•
•
South Frontenac Township not part of the integrated County-wide planning program.
•
Status quo
•
•
•
•
One planner would be specifically assigned to deal with all Township Planning applications and available for meetings.
•
Work plans could be approved by all Townships to ensure local control.
Flat fee is inelastic and hours of general planning work in each municipality will differ.
•
If one or municipality pulls out, costs to others will increase or staff termination costs may be incurred. Service delivery to other municipalities may be jeopardized. Workload will likely vary by Township or by quarter and will reduce flexibility to respond across the County.
•
Workload will likely vary annually and this model may not have the flexibility to adjust to variations.
• •
Either status quo or flat fee options could apply (i.e., options B or C).
• •
Increased costs for participating municipalities. X% of costs attributed to local planning matters, balance paid by County.
•
A cost model would need to be developed by County Council and endorsed by all Townships. Potential reduction in overall administration costs.
•
Highest cost option
•
Local representation on the planning board but overall less local control (i.e., each municipality on its own will have a minority of votes).
•
Contracted planners would have limited availability for on-site meetings, preconsultation, etc. compared to current model.
•
Planning decisions will be made by a majority of the planning board that does not represent the local Township.
•
Cost control may be difficult depending on the planning workload. Planners may not be familiar with the rural issues affecting the Frontenacs.

CARRIED
Comment The County was successful in its application and received funding in the amount of $156,800. A portion of that funding was allocated to: The goal of the proposed Community Paramedicine Project by the County of Frontenac is to establish a solid framework for future core Community Paramedicine Programs within the geographical areas of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston. Of critical importance is the development of a comprehensive communication plan, within the framework, between Paramedics and other healthcare providers. The County released a Request for Proposal (RFP) on November 17th, 2014. The County received no applications to that RFP. Subsequent to the closing date the County was approached by Queen’s University, Centre for Studies in Primary Care to ascertain what services they may be able to provide in meeting the goal of the project. Queen’s has provided a proposal (Attachment A) that meets the needs of the RFP and is within the budget allocation received from the Province of Ontario. The deliverables listed in the proposal will provide the basis of the report “for future core Community Paramedicine Programs within the geographical areas of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston”.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST/RESEARCH QUESTION The goal of the Community Paramedicine Project of the County of Frontenac is to establish a solid framework for future core Community Paramedicine Programs within the geographical areas of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston, aimed at healthy aging in the home. Of critical importance is the development of a comprehensive communication and collaboration plan within the framework, between Paramedics and other healthcare providers in the region. This will ensure that all healthcare workers involved in the care of patients within the community are informed so that patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, in a fiscally responsible manner with no duplication of services. There are four primary components of this project:
Paramedic referrals. A process, and policies and procedures must be developed to initiate a Paramedic Referral (e.g. CREMS/PERIL) Program.
Development of communication links between Paramedics and other healthcare providers involved with the patient.
Home visits by Paramedics. Processes, policies and procedures will be developed to identify appropriate patients and to set guidelines for Community Paramedic Home Visits.
Wellness Clinics. The opportunities to provide Wellness Clinics in appropriate locations will be investigated.
The Community Paramedicine project will be set up in a way that meets the requirements of the local partners and ensures effective communication. To this end the Centre for Studies in Primary Care collaborating with County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to:
- Undertake an environmental scan to document current community paramedicine programs across Canada and in particular Ontario, USA, Australia, and the UK to learn about enablers and barriers to implementing a program in the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
- Support County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to investigate the needs and opportunities for the initiation of a Wellness Clinics in the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
- Support the County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to identify community healthcare providers that can collaborate in the implementation of a paramedicine community wellness program in the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.

- Support the development of a communication plan with healthcare partners, and recommend a primary care referral pathway.
- Develop a logic model to support the roll out and evaluation of a demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at healthy aging in the home across the geographical area of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY PROPOSAL Objectives The objectives our proposal will address include:
- To examine research evidence to inform the development of a demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at healthy aging in the home across the geographical area of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
- Support County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to identify the needs and opportunities for the initiation of wellness clinics in the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
- To identify healthcare partners and facilitate the development of a framework for engaging community healthcare providers to collaborate in the development of a demonstration paramedicine wellness program in the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston.
- Develop a logic model to support the roll out and evaluation of a demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at healthy aging in the home across the geographical area of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston. Method Objective 1& 2: A systemic review of research literature and grey literature published within the last 10 years (2004-2014) will be conducted using the following search engines; PubMed, Medline; and EMBASE. Search terms may include; healthcare, paramedicine, case management, community care coordination, homecare, wellness clinics. Additionally, we will be searching the World Wide Web, to review grey literature that is publicly available. These may include policy and service documents available on national and international government and private organization websites. We will also use Government of Ontario documents and policy papers as starting point for building the literature review.

All of the literature retrieved form the above search engines will be first examined by a research associate and a bibliography will be compiled using Ref Manager. Screening inclusion and exclusion criteria will be developed in consultation with a representative of the County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to ensure inclusion of relevant material. The full bibliography will then be screened by the investigators based on the title and abstract using the inclusion and exclusion criteria developed. The screening process will result in the formation of a short list of most relevant articles for more rigorous review. This short list of literature will then be critically appraised by the research associate and investigators to produce a summary report that will include discussion and recommendations for developing a suitable demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at addressing the needs of the community and to support healthy aging in the home across the geographical area of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston. Objective 3: During our environmental scan and working with the CSPC network of healthcare providers and care provider agencies in the SE LHIN region, we will identify and provide a list of potential key healthcare partners. In consultation with a representative of the County of Frontenac Paramedic Services we will finalize this list and we will participate in discussion with these partners to support the development of communication and referral pathway framework for a demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at addressing the needs of the community, and to support healthy aging in the home across the geographical area of the County of Frontenac and the City of Kingston. Objective 4: Our team will work in consultation with the County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to establish a demonstration program steering committee. We will engage in discussions with this committee and the programs healthcare partners to develop a program logic model. The logic model will document; the over all goal and expected outcomes, the resources required to implement the program, activities that need to be undertaken and the outputs for each activity documented. This logic model will also support the future evaluation of the demonstration program implemented in the region. Research Impact The findings of our systematic review will allow County of Frontenac Paramedic Services to develop an informed demonstration home visit/wellness program aimed at addressing the needs of the community, and

He specifically noted that only planning aspects are eligible for this grant funding and that it does not apply to capital projects. There is a handbook on how to create age friendly communities which he will forward to the committee and paid tribute to the County of Halliburton which has created a falls prevention program and expanded this to address street fixtures such as benches. He noted this could include evaluation of municipal facilities and business, gaps in services such as transportation, housing social services, or it could focus on businesses through Community Improvement Plans (CIP’s) and advise businesses of grants available through the Provincial and Federal governments.

Based on population, the County is eligible to apply for grant up to a maximum of $35,000 which would cover the cost of a consultant. It could also look at other counties such as Stratford and Haliburton who have already done this. The Grant Program identifies implementation and evaluation and the creation of action plans which could identify awareness programs and programs that are lacking in the community. Unfortunately the Program does not include the actions but more the Plan and setting things up for the long term. It was noted that an Action Plan would prove beneficial in the future when grants become available as projects would already be identified. Mr. Young added that future grants may now be tied to municipalities who have Age Friendly plans. Moved By: Seconded By:

The committee recommended Don Cochrane in Kingston who hires a bunch of studio guys… could be a low cost option. Mr. Davison provided an update on South Frontenac Township’s work at Centennial Park. Mr. Davison suggests that $3,000 - $4,000 will need to be allocated in the budget for further improvements and ground maintenance at the park. Nick Gilmour at Gilmours Meats has agreed to supply free of charge the 150 feet of sausage for the South Frontenac Family Day, which usually draws about 1,500 people and will act as the Launch Event for the 150th Anniversary. This will be a great promotion to get people talking about the 150th. County staff will look at promoting this event and invite the Warden and rest of County Council to participate. Warden Doyle mentioned some celebrity presence might help beef up the event and suggested Mr. Davison could talk to Dan Akroyd about attending. The Committee asked Morey & Bell to provide a detailed event plan at the next meeting.

Plowers will come in on Sunday, August 23 with plowing taking place Thursday – Saturday (Aug 27 - 29). The Wolfe Island Plowmen’s Association (WIPA) will hold its match on Wednesday, August 26). The CPO and the WIPA believe this will complement the 150th Anniversary celebrations. Mr. Vanden Hoek suggested that this is a great opportunity for partnership – the partners of the plowmen might like to attend the 150th Showcase on the Saturday… and perhaps people from the mainland Townships would like to attend the Wolfe Island match on the Wednesday. He suggested that we could provide transportation to the ferry dock on Wednesday and from the ferry dock to Harrowsmith on Saturday. Ms. Anne Marie Young will follow-up on this. If there is a 150th promotional publication produced, the CPO would like the CPC highlighted. Staff should connect with Mr. Keyes on this. Mr. Keyes would also like to present to County Council in January to ask for sponsorship. Moved By: Seconded By:

Mr. Pender led a high-level discussion regarding the nature of Directions for Our Future and Sustainable Actions. He reported that Council has directed that Sustainable Actions needs to be more Community / Committee / Council driven than it has been in the past, it needs to be a bottom-up, not top-down process, and it needs to be more focused. Though the content of Sustainable Actions is community-driven, the SAC has a duty to recommend priorities to Council that reflect the Committee’s priorities. The Committee needs to look at viable next steps, to ensure it is recommending priorities for which the County has capacity to influence, and remember that accountability is a big piece of this committee’s role. The committee discussed the need to start transitioning over the next few years away from using the word sustainability, toward resiliency. The notion of restoration was also mentioned. A holistic and forward-thinking approach could fit into how the Frontenacs are branded as well… environmentally conscious planning will speak for itself. The committee discussed the need to brand Frontenac County and Ms. Young provided a verbal outline of the March 4 & 5 Frontenac Economic Development Days. Ms. John suggested that establishing small working groups comprised of two or three members each could achieve progress on particular priorities. The committee supported this idea and suggested that the groups could potentially be based on the pillars, and incorporate some of the very passionate community members who have been long involved in the ICSP process. Committee members agreed that the members of those working groups could not be expected to take on administrative responsibilities, and the SAC meetings would become the formal reporting mechanism. The committee reviewed Sustainable Actions 2014/15 and indicated opportunities to be recommended as priority to County Council. The committee directed staff to further group opportunities into an implementation plan for Council’s consideration, with the longer version becoming and appendix. Moved By: Seconded By:

Re:
Sustainability Advisory Committee – Report to Council
The Sustainability Advisory Committee at its meeting held December 1, 2014 passed the following motion: THAT staff consolidate the draft Sustainable Actions 2014/2015 report in a manner that reflects committee input. As part of the discussion, staff were asked to circulate the revised report to the committee by email and unless the committee felt the need to discuss the revised report as a group, it would go directly to County Council. As a result, the following recommendation is being presented for Council’s consideration: Recommendation: WHEREAS a group of community members came together on September 18, 2014 with the goal of establishing short-term priorities for sustainability in the Frontenacs and were successful in identifying 23 opportunities for priority action, AND WHEREAS, the Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC) is responsible for providing input and recommendations regarding the implementation of Directions for Our Future, in particular to help meet the “Commitment Towards a Sustainable Future” and the “Community Input” elements, AND WHEREAS, some of the County-led differences made through the ICSP process over the past five years include: 9 Community Improvement Plans are underway in every Township. 9 31kms of the Frontenac K&P Trail have been developed. An additional 8kms are currently being developed. The ultimate goal is for the K&P to reach Sharbot Lake by 2017.

What is this guide?
Where did it start?
You now hold in your hands the condensed version of Sustainable Actions 2014/2015, which includes two parts: (1) the list of community-generated opportunities for sustainability in the Frontenacs, identified as priority and nonpriority, and (2) the Community Partnership Agreement, representing the community involvement that is crucial to the realization of a sustainable Frontenacs, 50 years into the future.
In 2009, after two years of extensive community consultation, the Council of the County of Frontenac adopted the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP), Directions for Our Future, as its 50 year vision for a sustainable future in the Frontenacs. Every year since then, Council’s Sustainability Advisory Committee has developed an implementation plan, Sustainable Actions, based on community input to guide short-term actions toward long-term sustainability.
Who is responsible? We all are. Over the past five years, significant, tangible differences have been made through the ICSP process. Continued positive momentum relies on:
County Council’s ongoing support for the process The County’s Sustainability Advisory Committee’s community liaison and engagement efforts and facilitation and encouragement of community priorities Citizens’ innovative leadership of priority opportunities and involvement in the process to ensure sustainability efforts continue to reflect current community interests
What’s next? After careful consideration of the 23 community-identified priorities, the Sustainability Advisory Committee recommended County Council endorsement for the following six priority goals for consideration during the 2015 budget process and implementation in 2015:
- Develop low-impact tourism to attract a new generation of tourists
- Restore farming in a way suitable to the varied environments in the County
- Implement County Council’s Strategic Goals (developed in 2014)
- Continue / Expand Support for Small Scale Community Sustainability Initiatives Funding
- Support Local Improvement Charges to permit citizen house retrofits for energy conservation
- Support the protection, maintenance and improvement of lake quality and water table

Reports/Topics for Discussion 2014-176 Trails Advisory Committee – 2014 Work Plan Update
Ms. Young explained that since the last Committee meeting, significant work has been completed related to producing the Partnership Agreement with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) and releasing the Bridge RFP. Work on the trail has begun and has been moving along quickly. Ms. Young stated that Fish Creek Bridge should have been completed prior to Elbow Creek Bridge in order to gain access to this detached part of the trail, therefore a solution to the access issue was included as an addendum to the RFP. The funding received for the development of the Trail applies to the section of the trail from the White Lake Road access to the southernmost point of Oclean Lane, and therefore does not cover the north section that would surpass the Fish Creek Bridge. It will be determined at a later date how this section of the trail will be developed. The trucking and materials are under the EOTA’s role in trail construction, and the bridge(s) is/are the County’s responsibility. Currently the contractor has completed the trail to Elbow Creek. The Geotechnical Investigation report determined that there is 12 feet of gravel at the base of the Creek, and the 6 existing wooden pylons are in fair to good condition and extend 13.5 meters downward to the bedrock. The beaver damn at the site has been removed to prepare for the awarded contractor to construct the Elbow Creek Bridge. Mr. Eberhardt informed the Committee that the L&A Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club has opened all of the gates along the Trail from Harrowsmith to the south access at Craig Road as per the protocol that went to Council. The gates have been unlocked and relocked open so they cannot be closed by the public. Committee members mentioned that trees and debris have been falling onto the trail, however it seems the user have been removing the brush as they come upon it.

Regarding a County Trails meeting she had attended, Ms. Young suggested that potential partnerships with Lanark County and Renfrew County could be established once the trail is completed to connect to their existing trail networks. Central Frontenac staff will be a good resource for future development of the K&P Trail for their local representation, for approaching adjacent landowners and for suggesting alternatives routes where needed. Mr. Eberhardt suggested that a barrier be put in place once the construction of the bridge commences to prevent snowmobiles and ATVs from using this unopened section of the trail and disturbing the construction process during the winter. Ms. Young addressed an adjacent landowner’s concern about ATV’s using the section of the trail along Duncan Lake south of Fish Creek Road which is an environmental sensitive area. An alternative route was suggested to detour ATV’s onto Township roads Oclean Lane and Fish Creek Road then westward back onto the Trail. Mr. McPhail began discussion on who would maintain Oclean Lane if the County were to divert ATV’s to these Township roads. He suggested that a formal agreement with the Township of Central Frontenac be established to delegate maintenance responsibilities and costs, and liabilities. The County should set precedence for the off-trail rerouting that will be encountered in the future development. Warden Doyle expressed the benefits of Kingston completing its portion of the K&P south to connect to the Waterfront Trail, in order to have a corridor from Lake Ontario to Sharbot Lake and beyond in the future. Moved By: Seconded By:
Mr. Eberhardt Mrs. Hollywood
THAT the Trails Advisory Committee receive this 2014 Work Plan Update report for information. AND FURTHER THAT County Council approve the diversion of ATV traffic from the K&P Trail between where it conjuncts with Oclean Lane and the access north of Fish Creek Bridge, with diverted traffic using Oclean Lane and Fish Creek Road; subject to confirmation of ownership of Oclean Lane and a formal maintenance agreement with Central Frontenac for the right-of-way. CARRIED 7.
Communications i.
Correspondence from Bill Murnighan regarding specific usages of the K&P Trail
Ms. Young explained that she would respond to Mr. Murnighan once she had informed the Committee and gathered their input. Mr. Eberhardt stated that the snowmobile club Trails Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes December 4, 2014
December 4, 2014 Trails Advisory Committee
Page 3 of 4
Page 217 of 250
AgendaItem#14f)
has Snowmobile Trail Officer Patrol (STOP) Officers and Trail Patrollers that will enforce proper trail use, along with Ontario Provincial Police officers.
Other business
Ms. Young acknowledged the need for regulations and standards for placing signage on the trail. Committee members recognized the importance of local businesses promoting their amenities and location; however sign pollution should be avoided. Mr. Eberhardt also mentioned that the snowmobile club places information and kilometer signs along the trail indicating upcoming destination points. Mr. Eberhardt approached the committee regarding the Snowmobile Club’s interest in constructing a “comfort station” on the north end of the trail (approximately one kilometer south of White Lake Road) to provide a rest stop for trail users. The groomer operators will maintain the small building during winter months; however it will continue to be available for use year-round. It could be explored that EOTA assume responsibility during the summer, or eventually a “Friends of the K&P” group. The Committee agreed the project is beneficial to the trail users and Mr. Eberhardt informed that the club will install it within the coming weeks. 9.
Next meeting date
The next meeting date will be determined when County Council reappoints the Committee. 10.
