Request that the province reconsider the current wording in Bill 23 – More Homes Built Faster Act Reinstated language to require Conservation Authorities to review and process applications within a legislated time frame

Motion #: 114-23

Moved By: Seconded By:

Warden Vandewal Councillor Leonard

Whereas Bill 23 – More Homes Built Faster Act under Ontario Regulation 596/22 has removed the ability for Conservation Authorities to provide municipalities with review and commenting services as part of the planning approval process on natural heritage and water-related policies Whereas the County of Frontenac and Council are committed to providing reliable and timely planning application process support for applicants; Whereas the County of Frontenac and Council feels strongly that this current legislation change is not in the best interest of rural municipalities or its residents; Whereas the County of Frontenac and Council feel that these services are best provided by the local conservation authority due to the existing working relationship, historical knowledge of the covered geographic area, and technical expertise provided by Conservation Authority staff on matters related to natural heritage and water-related plan review services; and Whereas the County of Frontenac and Council feel that municipalities benefit from leveraging the expertise of their local conservation authority. The current wording in Bill 23 forces municipalities to contract this work out to the private sector where there is already limited expertise and capacity to take on this expanded role; Therefore Be It Resolved That the Council of the Corporation of the County of Frontenac request that the province reconsider the current wording in Bill 23; and That the ability to provide review and commenting services as part of the planning approval process on natural heritage and water-related policies be reinstated with the addition of language that would require Conservation Authorities to process applications within a legislated time frame; and That the Council of the Corporation of the County of Frontenac direct the Clerk to send this motion to the Premier of Ontario; the Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and the local Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP’s) Carried Giving Notice of Motion

Planning Department Update • Zoning By-Laws – Housekeeping Amendments Planning staff are currently assisting both North Frontenac and Central Frontenac with housekeeping amendments to their zoning by-laws. • Pre-Application Consultation By-Laws Planning staff have been assisting the townships with the development of new pre-application consultation by-laws. These by-laws require applicants to consult with staff prior to submitting a planning application and define expectations around what is a complete application. This is necessary due to provincial Bill 109, which requires the refunding of certain application fees if provincial timelines are not met.

• Natural Heritage Consultant County planning staff have been working with the CAOs and planning staff at each of the townships to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) to obtain the services of a consultant to undertake natural heritage reviews of planning applications and environmental impact studies. This service is a temporary measure to address the fact that Bill 23 prevents the conservation authorities from providing this service.

EOWC Paramedic Study (Refresh – 2023)

Page 46 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Notes

  1. This report is data rich. We will provide a high-level overview but won’t touch on every potential point. Questions welcome.
  2. For today’s purpose we will concentrate on the EOWC view and comparison. For a deeper look at Frontenac Paramedics, please refer to the Appendix document.

Page 47 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Background • The EOWC originally commissioned Apexpro in 2019 to complete a review of paramedic service performance and projected call volume changes

• A copy of the full 2019 report can be found on the Engage Frontenac site at: https://engagefrontenac.ca/frontenac-paramedics

• The pandemic has changed healthcare in many ways and paramedic services were not immune to the challenges and the long-term implications

Page 48 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Coverage Area for the Report • The 12 services serve approximately 1.22M yearround residents, (approx. 1.5M including seasonal residents) • Frontenac, Peterborough and Hastings/Prince Edward serve the three largest populations in the EOWC coverage area.

Page 49 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Dispatch • Frontenac is served the Provincially managed Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC) • Our regional referral hospital is Kingston General • Frontenac response is supported by Tiered Response Agreements with the five muncipalities

Page 50 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Background 1 The purpose of the EOWC Re-fresh report is to:

  1. Perform a new (updated) environmental scan of the EOWC paramedic services, including their community paramedicine programs.
  2. Develop new (updated) five-year predictive forecasts, including a sensitivity analysis to illustrate how the predictive outcomes may be impacted by variations to key input variables.
  3. Identify paramedic priority areas on which the EOWC should focus.

Page 51 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Background 2 • The EOWC report is part one of a two-part program to monitor and invest in paramedic services in the most efficient manner

High-Level: The EOWC report provides a regional view, looks at larger trends and identifies advocacy efforts that will benefit patient care County-Level: The 2019 ORH Study is local, looking at trends, station locations and staffing requirements. Looking at 2024 for a re-fresh

Page 52 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #1 Call volumes are increasing whereas paramedic service performance is declining.

2018-2022 • call volume increased by 18% • responses increased by 21% • 90th percentile response times to Priority 4 calls increased (degraded) by 14% • average call duration increased (worsened) by 21% • time-on-task increased (worsened) by 46% • unit utilization increased (worsened) by 32%.

Page 53 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #2 Declining paramedic service performance is attributed mainly to a rapid increase in Hospital Offload Delay (OLD). • Between 2018 and 2022, OLD events increased (worsened) by 161% and offload delay hours increased (worsened) by 383%. ApexPro estimates that OLD currently costs EOWC paramedic services about $17 million a year (about 9% of the current combined budget). This compared to a combined cost of $4.8 million a year (about 3% of budget) in 2018.

Page 54 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #3a Many services report that paramedic workloads are no longer sustainable.

• Due to appreciable increases in call volume, time-on-task, and hospital offload delay, unscheduled overtime is on the rise and paramedics are oftentimes requested to work extra-long shifts. This, with few if any breaks between calls. • The relatively high workload, over a prolonged period that commenced with the onset of COVID, is taking its toll on paramedics. Fatigue has set in. Frustration, stress, and absenteeism are on the rise. The strain is wearing on paramedic morale. Relatively large numbers of paramedics are off work, mainly for mental health-related reasons, and increasing numbers of paramedics (including seasoned staff) have opted entirely out of health care. • The relatively high workload is also taking a toll on paramedic service costs, which have escalated due to various related factors including increased overtime, WSIB claims, return-to-work costs, and paramedic recruitment efforts.

Page 55 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #3b Many services report that paramedic workloads are no longer sustainable.

• Due to increases in call volume, time-on-task, and hospital offload delay: • unscheduled overtime is on the rise • Longer shifts often required • few if any breaks between calls.

• This is taking a toll on paramedics

• Fatigue has set in. • Frustration, stress, and absenteeism are on the rise. • Decreased paramedic morale.

• Large numbers of paramedics are off work, mainly for mental health-related reasons, • increasing numbers of paramedics (including seasoned staff) have opted entirely out of health care.

• The relatively high workload is also taking a toll on paramedic service costs, which have escalated due to various related factors including increased overtime, WSIB claims, return-to-work costs, and paramedic recruitment efforts.

Page 56 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #4 Several services report inordinate amounts of time out-of-area, this, adversely affecting local area coverage and costs.

• Patient transfers to out-of-area regional health care facilities for medical services that are not available locally (i.e., Peterborough, Kingston, and Ottawa), are on the rise. OLD issues are reported to be more acute at regional centres and as a result, out-of-area transfers can readily consume five or more hours. More if, while out-of-area, CACC assigns the crew to an out-of-area call. • For relatively small EOWC paramedic services (i.e., those managed by the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, Leeds-Grenville, Lennox-Addington, Northumberland, and Prescott-Russell), spending inordinate amounts of time outside their service jurisdiction has become particularly problematic, since time out-of-area adversely affects their ability to maintain local coverage. The problem is exacerbated when the service is concurrently assigned more than one out-of-area patient transfer request.

Page 57 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Report Finding - #5 EOWC community paramedicine programs are also proving beneficial in reducing 911 calls.

• Our finding for the EOWC region, is that community paramedicine programs have helped reduce 911 responses by 10,000 to 12,000 calls a year, this equating to a 4% to 5% reduction in overall 911 call volume. • If EOWC community paramedicine programs did not exist, then response volumes in the EOWC region, would be 4% to 5% higher; and repeat hospital admissions, and associated health care system costs, would also be higher.

Page 58 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Service Priority Recommendations The Priority area recommendations have been adopted as the core of the 2023/24 EOWC advocacy

  1. Hospital offload delay (OLD) needs to be fixed.
  2. Community paramedicine programs require a provincial commitment to permanent and predictable funding.
  3. Dispatch needs to be modernized to ensure the deployment of resources appropriate to 911 response, and to support community paramedicine.
  4. Community college paramedic enrolment needs to be increased.

Page 59 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

All EOWC Services:  Are fully compliant with provincial legislation, regulations, standards, and principles for land ambulance services operating in Ontario.  Are responsive to the needs of their local jurisdictions.  Are integrated into the provincial health care system, providing accessible ambulance services seamlessly across municipal jurisdictions, as directed by provincially managed dispatch centers.  Provide patient transport between health care facilities for medically essential services.  Most provide care at both primary and advanced care life support levels.  have implemented patient focused Response Time Performance Plans (RTPP) specifying ambulance response time targets by Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS).

 operate from either fixed stations or a central fleet centre. All use fluid deployment to maintain emergency coverage.  proactively backfill for one-another, providing seamless cross-border paramedic services, to fill temporary gaps in coverage.  collaborate with one-another, and with peers across the country, to maintain leading edge service design.  have arrangements for fire department medical support.  operate community paramedicine programs  provide an essential public safety role in conjunction with police, fire, and municipal emergency management.

Anatomy of a Call •

Response time is defined as the interval T2-T4, where T2 is the time that a paramedic service crew is notified of a call, and T4 is the time of their arrival on scene

Page 61 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Paramedic Service Trends (2018-22) •

Over the four years, 2018-2022, EOWC paramedic responses increased by almost 21% whereas, both time-on-task and unit utilization respectively increased (worsened) more appreciably, by 46% and 32%.

Page 62 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Offload Delay (2018-22) •

Based on these 2018 statistics, one may readily conclude that across the EOWC region, OLD consumed the equivalent of 4.8 12-hour ambulance shifts each day, at the then current cost of about $4.8 million a year. Since, the then current base cost of EOWC paramedic service operations was $161.6 million, one may also readily conclude that in 2018, OLD consumed 3% of the combined budget for EOWC paramedic services.

• Across the region 90% of staff are front-line paramedics

Page 63 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Staffing Levels (2022)

Page 64 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Facilities & Fleet (2022) • There are a total of 79 ambulance facilities, with a combined 286 vehicles, including 177 ambulances.

Page 65 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Service Coverage (2022)

• Frontenac staggers shift times in order to improve coverage at shift changes

• Frontenac is in line with other services.

Page 68 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

CrossBorder Calls (2022) • Frontenac has crossborder response agreements in place with our neighbours

Page 69 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Community Paramedicine • With the help of community partners, EOWC paramedic services provide health care / wellness support to elderly and vulnerable residents living at home. This includes those living in isolated areas, those who are unable to travel, those without a primary care physician, and those requiring assistance to manage chronic diseases. Health care / wellness support is provided mainly by way of in-person home visits, but also by way of virtual visits and remote patient monitoring. • Several EOWC community paramedicine programs also provide support at Consumption and Treatment Services sites, and public vaccination clinics. • All EOWC paramedic services affirm that community paramedicine programs are also proving beneficial in reducing 911 calls, repeat hospital admissions, and associated health care system costs; albeit their evidence thereto is mainly anecdotal. Note: CP referrals can be made through a family physician, home care provider, Paramedic referral or self-referral

Response Volume Forecast •

•

•

In ApexPro’s opinion, the “trendline low” forecast serves a useful purpose, in providing a low-end estimate of future response volume growth. Whereas the “trendline high” forecast, which is based on reactions (or over-reactions) to the COVID pandemic, is considered highly unreliable. ApexPro considers the “regression” forecast to be the most reliable of the three forecasts. In this forecast, the combined response volume for the EOWC region is projected to increase by 5.2% a year, reaching 308,000+ responses by 2028. Readers are advised that these forecasts are based on an underlying assumption that EOWC paramedic services will continue to deliver community paramedicine services, at roughly current levels of activity.

• Senior population will continue to grow

Page 73 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Population Forecast

Page 74 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Operation Metrics • Time on Task increased by 57.3% and the average call duration increased by 30 minutes • Our Unit Utilization is far exceeding industry target of .35

Page 75 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Offload Delay #1 • Offload delay ”consumed” the equivalent of 2.4 12-hour shifts per day in 2022. Up from 0.4 in 2018

Page 76 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Offload Delay #2 • The regression trendline (i.e., most likely) will see our call volume increase to 38,200 by 2028, up from 28,220 in 2022.

Page 77 of 220 Officer and Chief Gale Chevalier… Mr. Kelly Pender , Chief Administrative

Conclusions • The five priority areas will be the primary advocacy targets for the EOWC • Frontenac Paramedics is experiencing similar challenges to all Eastern Ontario services • Frontenac Paramedics benchmarks favourably to the other large services in the EOWC region. • Frontenac is not meeting our response time standard, or the Unit Utilization target.

• Frontenac will need to continue to invest in additional resources in order meet the demand of a growing and aging population • The ORH study refresh in 2024 will be critical to determining the growth trajectory and improving our response times and unit utilization

Report 2023-072 Council Recommend Report To:

From:

Kelly Pender, Chief Administrative Officer

Prepared by:

Susan Brant, Administrator, Fairmount Home

Re:

Fairmount Home – Purchase of Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System

Recommendation Be It Resolved That Council authorize the purchase of the Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System to assist with the provision of laundry services for Fairmount Home; And Further That Council authorize the use of the Strategic Project Reserve for the County share of $5,232 from the Energy Conservation and Demand Management envelope; And Further That Council authorize staff to single source the purchase of the Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System with respect to the time sensitive nature of the incentive on offer from Enbridge Gas. Background Fairmount Home’s laundry system currently cycles 3,000 pounds of laundry per day. The current compliment of laundry machines consists of two 80-pound capacity washers, one 65-pound capacity washer and one 25-pound capacity washer. On average, the washers cycle 12 loads per day, and operate for 9 consecutive hours for 7 days per week. Enbridge Gas is currently offering a $12,250 incentive to commercial and industrial customers who purchase the Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System between April 17, 2023,

of 220of Ecotex Oxidation and Sanitation syst… 2023-072 FairmountPage Home 78 Purchase

and September 30, 2023, and have the equipment installed and operational by October 31, 2023. Comment The Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System converts air into 90% pure oxygen which is then electrically charged to split the oxygen atoms. By injecting ozone continuously throughout the wash cycle, harmful bacteria, viruses, and superbugs including MRSA, C-Difficile and other viruses are eliminated. These atoms reassemble to form oxygen once the wash cycle is complete. Hot water and natural gas consumption would be reduced with an ozone laundry system. Once added to a new or existing commercial washing machine, the system generates ozone (O3), a naturally occurring molecule, which helps clean and disinfect fabrics without using hot water.

Strategic Priority Implications Priority 2: Explore new funding sources and invest wisely in critical infrastructure ➢ 2.1: To meet the needs of future capital projects, explore new sources of funding support (current and future programs), cost-sharing options and other potential economies. Priority 3: Champion and coordinate collaborative efforts ➢ 3.3: Continue to pursue collaborative opportunities to achieve service and costs efficiencies and other economies through cost-sharing and shared services.

Financial Implications The cost of purchase and installation of the Eco3Tex® Ozone Laundry System is $28,600 with an expected life of 10 years. The incentive to purchase is $12,250. An annual service contract would be required for $2,200 per year for the new system. The cost of rental would be $595 per month with a $15,000 one-time incentive. An analysis of both options comparing estimated payback period, sensitivity on manufacturer’s estimates, and considering purchasing versus renting can be found below. The preferred option would be to purchase the Laundry System outright. With savings at 60% of the Manufacturer’s Estimate, the estimated payback for the system would be 2.92 years.

Re:

Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Draft Frontenac County Strategic Plan 2023-2026

Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive for information the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Draft Frontenac County Strategic Plan 20232026 report; And Further That the Council of the County of Frontenac approve the Draft Frontenac County Strategic Plan 2023-2026 attached to this report as Appendix A. Background At its December 21, 2022, regular meeting, County Council approved an agreement with Explorer Solutions to lead the 2023-2026 Council Strategic Plan. Comment The process that Explorer Solutions took in the development of a draft Strategic Plan involved extensive consultation with online input from more than 700 residents across the Frontenacs in addition to local consultations in public sessions with each member Township Council. At a special Committee of the Whole meeting held March 15, 2023, Mr. Kipfer provided a presentation to Council followed by questions posed to Council for input, including:

  1. What Elements Should be Considered in Frontenac County’s Updated Mission and Vision Statements?
  2. What should be Frontenac County’s areas of strategic focus?
  3. What new areas of programming/services should be considered by Frontenac County?

Page of 220 2023-073 Office of the Chief81 Administrative Officer Draft Frontenac Coun…

4. How can/should the County’s Strategic Plan help each of the Townships deliver upon their goals? 5. How can Frontenac County services be delivered more efficiently, effectively and economically? 6. How can Frontenac County advance community engagement in order to improve service to citizens? 7. What partnerships and/or collaborative opportunities can/should Frontenac County develop/strengthen? 8. Additional thoughts, comments, or suggestions for consideration in the development of Frontenac County’s Strategic Plan? In addition, nine (9) one on one meetings were held with County, Township, and City of Kingston staff. Online consultation information was hosted on the Frontenac 2023 Strategic Plan Consultation EngageFrontenac.ca project page. The survey data collection was conducted directly by the consultant, Mr. Kipfer, and his associate at Explorer Solutions. County promotional work linked to Explorer Solutions’ survey hosted on their Qualtrics account. County staff has no direct access to raw survey data. The consultation was promoted via a campaign of direct email and on County websites and social media channels. County social media posts were amplified by Township social media channels. Councillors were encouraged to amplify via their personal and professional networks. The 18–24-year-old demographic was not sufficiently represented in initial organic responses, so students at Granite Ridge Education Centre and Sydenham High School were directly encouraged by respective school staff to complete the survey. Explorer Solutions hosted two open-house public engagement sessions: April 12 at Storrington Centre, Sunbury; and April 13 at Soldiers Memorial Hall, Sharbot Lake. These events were promoted on the EngageFrontenac.ca project page, via social media, direct email, and with print advertising in Frontenac News and Kingston Whig Standard. Feedback received through all these consultation processes, which is attached to this report as Appendix B, has been processed by the consultants and highlights have been summarized, with the Draft Frontenac County Strategic Plan 2013-2026, attached to this report as Appendix A. A Strategic Plan brochure, which can be used for public distribution as a more highlight pamphlet type document on the Strategic Plan is attached as Appendix C. Sustainability Implications Approving a strategic plan that is supported by a public consultation process will help ensure that community priorities are established and that scarce resources are allocated to those priorities.

Frontenac County Strategic Plan (2023 – 2026)

Introduction Over the current term of council, the Strategic Plan (the plan) will inform and guide the decision-making efforts of County Council necessary to achieve the strategic priorities laid out in the plan. With a population of 29,295 residents plus seasonal visitors, Frontenac County is comprised of four townships and covers approximately 4,000-square-kilometres of rural land nestled around a city of more than 132,000 residents. While the County operates within a larger provincial, national and international context, much of the County remains embedded within the City of Kingston’s economy which provides an array of employment opportunities and access to additional healthcare, social service and educational supports and services. The development of the strategic priorities and objectives were informed by the results of a comprehensive engagement process with input received from township and county councils, local residents, youth and young professionals. The recommendations further considered the county’s composition, demographics, geography and local context for relevancy and suitability.

Executive Summary: Frontenac County Strategic Plan (2023 – 2026) The Guiding Vision for Frontenac County To be a thriving and sustainable County that balances economic growth, environmental preservation, and individual lifestyles, ensuring a vibrant and inclusive community for current and future generations in Frontenac.

The County of Frontenac Mission (Statement of Purpose) Our mission is committed to proactively promote and support managed growth in Frontenac County, leveraging its economic potential, while preserving the County’s distinct natural environment and respecting the diverse lifestyle choices of our residents.

Extensive consultation attracted online input from 703 residents (including 109 seasonal residents and 76 youth and young professionals). Local consultations were conducted with each of the four townships and county councils in public session. Individual meetings were held with nine senior staff members from the four townships and county administration. For the services which Frontenac County and the City of Kingston collaborate on and financially support together, they were discussed with two senior members of the city’s senior leadership team.

Overview of Strategy Development Process: Project initiation commenced in January 2023, followed by an in-depth review of relevant background documents, reports and studies, necessary to increase the understanding and situational context of the contracted Project Team. Throughout February and March, each Township and County Council received a project briefing and participated in a discussion, facilitated and led by the Project Team, during each council’s scheduled monthly session. During each discussion, council members were asked to comment on a series of questions designed to garner insights capable of helping guide the actions of County council forward over this term of council and how those strategies could provide reciprocal value back to the townships. Throughout April and early May, a comprehensive online survey was promoted to residents of each township, where the thoughts, opinions and ideas were captured from 703 residents, including 109 who identified as seasonal residents (compared to the 210 and 71 collected respectfully in 2019). A special outreach strategy was deployed to ensure the voice of youth and young professionals was also captured, which resulted in 109 individuals under the age of 35 having participated. Of the responses captured by those currently residing in Frontenac County, North Frontenac represented 16%, Central Frontenac 14%, South Frontenac 21% and Frontenac Islands 49%. Additionally, two open houses were offered to residents (one in each South Frontenac and North Frontenac) and nine individual meetings were held with senior staff members from the county, townships including one meeting the City of Kingston (regarding services that are jointly supported by both Frontenac County and the City of Kingston). All input was compiled and presented, including the draft strategic plan to the County’s senior leadership team on May 29 and County Council on June 21. A revised draft was presented to County Council on July 17, 2023 for approval.

1. Develop a Regional Approach to Overcome Infrastructure Issues and Maximize Infrastructure Development Opportunities This priority leverages the county’s regional reach to further strengthen its support role with each individual township to meet their infrastructure needs. While a number of infrastructure-related needs were identified for improvement throughout the consultation and engagement process, the prevailing focus for this term of this council in this strategic priority is tied to transportation. Objectives in support of this strategy: • • •

Enhance collaboration with the Township of Frontenac Islands and the Province of Ontario on ferry services. Support member municipalities in their efforts to maintain and improve roads and bridges. Develop strategies to improve regional transportation connectivity and accessibility.

Direction for Development of Operational Plans: •

•

•

In supporting ferry service to the islands, it is understood that the ferry asset is owned by Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation, is governed by Transport Canada and its daily operations and collection of fees are handled by Frontenac County. The County can continue supporting the Township of Frontenac Islands to ensure they have a platform by which their priorities and funding requests are openly conveyed to the appropriate provincial and federal government agencies. To ensure that county-wide roads and bridges maintain their current level of service, the County should explore opportunities for partnership with the townships to unlock provincial and federal infrastructure funding. The County will ensure that residents are empowered to share their thoughts, opinions and ideas to better regional transportation connectivity and accessibility. The County will also strengthen coordination and communication between transportation service providers and local governments.

In order to visualize the survey responses for the County of Frontenac’s strategic priorities, a methodology was employed that took into account the rankings provided by the respondents. Since the answers were numeric, with 1 representing the top priority and higher numbers indicating lower priorities, the total number of vote placements for each option was initially counted. Next, a scoring system was implemented wherein the numeric value of each ranking was converted into points based on the total number of options provided. For instance, if there were 8 options, a ranking of 1 would receive 8 points, a ranking of 3 would receive 6 points, while a ranking of 8 would receive 1 point. By calculating the sum of scores for each option, the overall rank of each priority was determined.

K&P Trail – Elbow Creek Bridge Replacement Update

Recommendation Be It Resolved That Council authorize the Warden and Clerk to enter into a contribution agreement with Trans Canada Trail for $60,000 to be used for the replacement of the Elbow Creek Bridge. And Further That Council authorize the Warden and Clerk to execute any agreements associated with a grant from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, should the County be successful in its application. Background The Elbow Creek Bridge was constructed in 2015 along with the Fish Creek Bridge by the Guardian Bridge Rapid Construction Company using a proprietary system of prefabricated bridge construction, consisting of fibreglass and wood. In 2017 it was discovered that the Fish Creek Bridge was failing as the material sealing the bridge deck was permitting water inside the structure, causing the wood to expand and push against the construction. After significant effort by staff to contact Guardian Bridge to remedy the situation, the deck was replaced in August of 2018. During the spring of 2021, it was discovered that a similar structural failure was taking place on the Elbow Creek Bridge. Subsequent investigations revealed that the bridge can support significant static loads but is in a deteriorating condition. In response, the County has had the bridge monitored by professional engineers and limited the size of vehicles using the bridge.

Page Creek 152 ofBridge 220 Replacement Update 2023-068 K&P Trail Elbow

After evaluating several recommendations for replacing the bridge (as outlined in report 2022-081), it was determined that the purchase and placement of a prefabricated structure with a load limit of 12 tonnes would be the most cost-effective solution. At its regular meeting on July 20, 2022 County Council received Report 2022-081 and authorized the use of the capital reserve to replace the deteriorating structure. Comment Earlier this year, the County awarded Algonquin Bridge Company the contract for fabrication and delivery of a pre-built structure for $67,425. The structure is to be delivered in late October for placement on the trail. As Algonquin Bridge will only fabricate and deliver the structure, a contractor will be hired to remove the existing bridge, prepare the site, and place the new bridge. This is estimated to cost an additional $150,000 and the work will be tendered over the summer. The work of replacing the bridge is expected to take 6-8 weeks, and will require a complete closure of the trail at Elbow Creek. As such, the work and trail closure has been scheduled during late fall, a very slow time for trail traffic. This schedule also permits space for additional weeks of work, if necessary, in late November prior to freeze-up or snowmobile season. Oclean Lane The Township of Central Frontenac is replacing the bridge at Oclean Lane on a similar schedule. The Oclean Lane bridge is located near the Elbow Creek Bridge, and in order to realize any possible efficiencies, staff from Central Frontenac and the County plan to jointly tender the site works at both locations. The tender will take place over the summer. Funding Support & Partnership In April of 2023 an application for capital funding was submitted to the Trans Canada Trail organization for $60,000 to support the bridge replacement. On May 17, 2023 the County was informed of its success. The K&P Trail between Harrowsmith and Sharbot Lake plays a key link in the Trans Canada Trail network as it passes through Eastern Ontario. The Upper Canada Snowmobile Region (UCSR) and L&A Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club (LARR SC) have also applied, in partnership with the County, to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) for $67,000 in funding for this project to cover the cost of the bridge purchase, however, notice of award for this application will not be delivered until July or August. UCSR is confident this funding will be approved. Although the K&P Trail falls under the mandate of the Planning and Economic Development Advisory Committee where reports are typically vetted there first, due to the time sensitivity of the funding applications to the Trans Canada Trail organization, this report is coming directly to council

Financial Implications At its regular meeting on July 19, 2022 County Council authorized use of up to $300,000 from the Capital Replacement Reserve to replace the Elbow Creek Bridge and based on the potential contributions from Trans Canada Trail and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, staff have budgeted $100,000 towards this project in 2023. County staff are seeking authorization to complete a contribution agreement with Trans Canada Trail for $60,000. Staff are also seeking authorization to complete a contribution agreement with Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs if the funding application for approximately $67,425 is successful. UCSR and LARR Snowmobile Club may be able to secure additional funding once details of the installation costs and contracting are finalized. The Verona District ATV Club has committed $6,000.00 towards the project.

Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Consideration of Decision by the Ontario Land Tribunal for the Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail

Recommendation Whereas both the Ontario Land Tribunal and County Staff have recommended that expropriation of these lands is necessary for the for the purpose of linking two sections of the Frontenac K&P Trail for the reason of ensuring its continued long-term viability as a public trail within the Frontenac County Trail System. Be It Resolved That the Council of the County of Frontenac receive the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer – Consideration of the two Decisions by the Ontario Land Tribunal for the Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail report; And Further That County Council affirm its decision to certify its approval of the expropriation of the lands legally described as Part of Lots 2 and 3, Concession 8, Geographic Township of Palmerston, now the Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0002(LT) and PIN 36209-0011(LT); more particularly Part 2 on the draft Expropriation Plan labelled “Project No. 2021-0733-5” and Part 1 on the draft Expropriation Plan labelled “Project No. 2021-0733-4” as set out in County Council’s decision on Motion No. 42-22 at its meeting on March 16, 2022.

Page of 220 Officer Consideration of Dec… 2023-069 Office of the Chief156 Administrative

And Further That the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to execute the Certificate of Approval (Form 5) under the Expropriations Act R.S.O 1990, Regulation 363. Background In 2020, Phase 5 of the Frontenac K&P Trail was completed from Sharbot Lake to Clarendon Station, and as s per County Council direction the County is now in the process of acquiring land for Phase 6 of development between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. Most of this development will take place within the Township of North Frontenac. Council has been updated on a number of occasions on the progress of land negotiations and have authorized, by by-law, a majority of the purchases required. 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. The County’s efforts to purchase two sections of privately owned lands at market value for the purpose of connecting the Frontenac K&P Trail were unsuccessful and at its meeting held March 16, 2022, Council stated its intention to expropriate these properties through the following resolution pursuant to Section 6(1) of the Municipal Act, being Recommend Reports from the Chief Administrative Officer, clause a): a)

The following report was postponed from the February 16, 2022, meeting to the March 16, 2022, meeting. 2022-016 Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Expropriation of Lands for the Purposes of the K&P Trail

Councillor Martin Councillor Vandewal

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 Council of the County of Frontenac 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. Carried The Clerk received notices of request for Hearings of Necessity in these matters, citing that the Trail Master plan indicates that the width should be more in line with those recommended for the particular purposes, although he did not specify an overall width.

The Hearings of Necessity were heard on November 29, 2022, and December 1, 2022, respectively. These informal inquiries are held to determine whether the proposed taking by the expropriating authority of an owner’s land is “fair, sound and reasonably necessary in the achievement of the objectives of the expropriating authority” as the Act states. The courts have interpreted this test to be whether the proposed taking is “reasonably defensible”. Comment The Clerk has received the following two decisions:

  1. OLT-22-004142 Decision and Order was delivered by D.S. Colbourne and issued on April 27, 2023. An amended version of the Decision was issued on June 7, 2023, to correct a technical or typographical error, a copy of which is attached to this report as Appendix A. The decision references Part of Lots 2 and 3, Concession 8, Geographic Township of Palmerston, now the Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0002(LT) and PIN 36209-0011(LT). In his decision, Mr. Colbourne was satisfied that as outlined by Mr. Allen, Manager of Economic Development, the taking width is reasonable in view of the overall scope of activities, and the width of the railbed itself and reiterated that the owner (the County) wishes continuing access between its two parcels created by the expropriation. For these reasons, the Tribunal finds that the taking of a fee simple interest in the land is reasonably defensible in the achievement of the County’s objectives of completing the four-season, multi-use public trail system called the Frontenac K&P Trail, part of the broader K&P Trail.
  2. OLT-22-004140 Decision and Order was delivered by D.S. Colbourne and issued June 8, 2023, a copy of which is attached to this report as Appendix B. The decision references Part of Lot 3, Concession 8, geographic Township of Palmerston, now the Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being part of PIN 36209-0010(LT). In his decision, Mr. Colbourne was satisfied that as outlined by Mr. Allen, Manager of Economic Development, the taking width is reasonable in view of the overall scope of activities, and the width of the railbed itself. For these reasons, the Tribunal finds that the taking of a fee simple interest in the land is reasonably defensible in the achievement of the County’s objectives of completing the fourseason, multi-use public trail system called the Frontenac K&P Trail, part of the broader K&P Trail. The Act requires that County Council consider and make a decision on an objection within 90 days from the end of the objection period. Staff are satisfied that the process Council followed in order to serve its intention to expropriate meets the requirements of the Act.

The properties are required in order for the County to continue with Phase 6 of development of the K&P Trail between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. Sustainability Implications Priority 2.1: To meet the needs of future capital projects, explore new sources of funding support (current and future programs), cost-sharing options and other potential economies. Priority 3.1: Work with the townships, other municipalities and levels of government on broad infrastructure issues — ranging from environmental concerns to regional transportation strategies for residential, social and economic purposes, and access to funding. 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).

DECISION DELIVERED BY D.S. COLBOURNE AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL [1]

This is a report of a Hearing of Necessity held under s. 7 of the Expropriations

Act, RSO. 1990, Chapter E. 26, as amended (the “Act”). Informal inquiries are held to determine whether the proposed taking by the expropriating authority of an owner’s land is “fair, sound and reasonably necessary in the achievement of the objectives of the expropriating authority” as the Act states. The courts have interpreted this test to be whether the proposed taking is “reasonably defensible”. [2]

The County of Frontenac (“County”) intends to take a portion of the owners’ lands

over which the railbed of the former Kingston and Pembroke Railway travels. The subject lands are south of the Robertsville Road, and east of Road 509. In total the

Page of 220 Officer Consideration of Dec… 2023-069 Office of the Chief162 Administrative

3

OLT-22-004143

taking is 1.87 acres. It is composed of Parts 1 and 2 on the draft plan of survey, Tab 9, Exhibit 2. [3]

The County is in the process of completing a four-season, multi-use public trail

system called the Frontenac K&P Trail, which is one segment of the broader Frontenac K&P Trail which traverses 180 kilometers north-south across multiple municipalities largely following the railbed of the Former Kingston and Pembroke Railway. [4]

Since 2009 the County has undertaken to expand and connect the Frontenac

K&P Trail by acquiring those portions of the Railbed that remain under private ownership and to develop the Frontenac K&P Trail along them, in accordance with the County’s Trails Master Plan (2009) and Frontenac K&P Trail Management Plan (2021). [5]

The County has considered other options for achieving this objective and

determined that the acquisition of the subject lands represents the best solution. [6]

The issue in this matter appeared to be but the width of the taking, as the

property owners already have agreements on some of their property with trail associations. [7]

The agent for the owners points to the Trail Master plan to indicate that the width

should be more in line with those recommended for the particular purposes, although he did not specify an overall width. [8]

The witness for the authority, Richard Allen, Manager of Economic Development,

for the County advises that the width of 21 metres has been acquired consistently, certainly involving lands with the old rail bed, and that the width is necessary for the combination of purposes, multi-seasonal activities, clearance, as well as for continued maintenance. [9]

The Trails Master Plan, Tab 17 Exhibit 2, – pg. 15 contains individual dimensions

for each of the trail activities, widths for Walking/Hiking, Cycling, Horseback Riding,

OLT-22-004143

Cross-Country Skiing, Snowmobiling and ATVing, including tread width and clearance for vegetation control. [10]

I am satisfied that as outlined by Mr. Allen, the taking width is reasonable in view

of the overall scope of activities, and the width of the railbed itself. [11]

The owner wishes continuing access between his two parcels created by the

expropriation. There are in the Management Plan, Tab 17, Exhibit 2, owners access arrangements. [12]

subject lands are north of the Robertsville Road, and east of Road 509. In total the taking is 2.04 acres. It is composed of Part 1 on the draft plan of survey, Tab 3, Exhibit 2. [3]

The County is in the process of completing a four-season, multi-use public trail

system called the Frontenac K&P Trail, which is one segment of the broader Frontenac K&P Trail which traverses 180 kilometers north-south across multiple municipalities largely following the railbed of the Former Kingston and Pembroke Railway. [4]

The County has considered other options for achieving this objective and

determined that the acquisition of the subject lands represents the best solution. [6]

The property does currently contain several structures, both west of the Trail

taking and also to the east, all with access to Robertsville Road. Further east of the easterly structures and to the rear of those structures is a Class C licenced gravel pit. North of the pit and travelling east and west is a creek which also bisects the property. Access to the property portion lying north of the creek and east of the Trail is an issue for the owner, with the trail taking. [7]

The main issue in this matter appears to be the width of the taking.

[8]

The agent for the owners points to the plan to indicate that the width should be

more in line with those recommended for the particular purposes, although he did not specify a total width. [9]

The property owners already have agreements on some of their property with

trail associations.

I am satisfied that as outlined by Mr. Allen, the taking width is reasonable in view

For the reasons given above, the Tribunal finds that the taking of a fee simple

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 by-laws later in the meeting to authorize an application to Approve the Expropriation of Lands for the purpose of the K&P Trail. Background In 2020, Phase 5 of the Frontenac K&P Trail was completed from Sharbot Lake to Clarendon Station, reaching a total of approximately 70 kilometres of developed trail in Frontenac County. As per County Council direction, staff are now in the process of acquiring land for Phase 6 of development between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. Most of this development will take place within the Township of North Frontenac. The previous phase of development, Phase 4: Tichborne to Sharbot Lake took place from 2016-2019 and involved over 30 parcels of land, each with a different owner. In many of these locations, the rail corridor was long out of use and had to be reconstituted, recovered from encroaching swamplands, or in some rare cases, constructed off-rail bed to avoid dwellings or other obstructions. However, only 3 of these transactions resulted in the County pursuing expropriation. This corridor now sees

Page of 220 Officer Expropriation of Lan… 2023-074 Office of the Chief169 Administrative

an average of 45 users per day, with weekend traffic reaching up to 150-200 users when weather conditions are ideal. As per County Council direction, staff are now in the process of acquiring land for Phase 6 of development between Clarendon Station and the boundary with Lanark County. Most of this development will take place within the Township of North Frontenac and involves lands owned by the Township of North Frontenac (5.3 km), the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (8 km) and approximately 11 private landowners (5.5 km). In June 2022, Council provided staff with direction to commence the expropriation process where negotiations break down with private landowners. Council has been updated on several occasions on the progress of land negotiations and have authorized, by by-law, some of the purchases required; however, four (4) properties have been identified as difficult negotiations and require initiation of the expropriation process. 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. Comment The County’s efforts to purchase four (4) 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 four (4) parcels of land is to link two sections of the Frontenac K&P Trail and thereby ensure its continued long-term viability as a public trail within the Frontenac County Trail System in accordance with the County of Frontenac Trails Master Plan. The sections of interest are comprised primarily of 66-foot corridors to accommodate the trail, drainage and a reasonable buffer between the trail and adjacent lands. This is a width consistent with previous acquisitions for the K&P Trail. In one case, a narrower width has been proposed as the trail travels through a narrow rock cut in this location. In other cases, additional lands are recommended to accommodate parking or existing parcels of irregular shape and composition. 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,

Page 2 of 5

(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 four (4) parcels of land being legally described as: a. PART 1 on the draft expropriation plan prepared by Hopkins Chitty Land Surveyors Inc., Project No. 2023-0115, dated June 9, 2023 – being Part of Lot 11, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being a portion of PIN 36211-0087 and comprising a measured area of 0.08 Ha. The extent of the lands was set 2.5 metres from the centreline of the existing bed of the former Kingston and Pembroke Railway. The 2.5 metres was utilized since that was the approximate distance from the said centreline to face of the rock outcrop on either side of PART 1 near the south end of said PART 1. b. PART 1,2,3 and 4 on the draft expropriation plan prepared by Hopkins Chitty Land Surveyors Inc., Project No. 2023-0116, dated June 9, 2023 – being Part of Lots 11 and 12, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being a portion of PIN 36211-0083 and comprising a measured area of 1.89 Ha. Note that PART 3 and 4 are subject to right of way as per Instrument No. FR684301. c. PART 1 on the draft expropriation plan prepared by Hopkins Chitty Land Surveyors Inc., Project No. 2023-0117, dated June 1, 2023 – being Part of Lots 13 and 14, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being a portion of PIN 36211-0081 and comprising a measured area of 2.69 Ha. d. PART 1 and 2 on the draft expropriation plan prepared by Hopkins Chitty Land Surveyors Inc., Project No. 2023-0118, dated June 9, 2023 – being Part of Lot 15, Concession 10, Geographic Township of Palmerston, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac, being a portion of PIN 36209-0219 and comprising a measured area of 0.595 Ha. Note that PART 2 is subject to easement in favour of Hydro One Networks Inc. as per Instrument No. FC106473. Upon approval, staff, in consultation with the County’s solicitors will commence the expropriation process. It is important to note, that a negotiated settlement may still be reached, even after the expropriation process has commenced.

Report 2023-075 Council Recommend Report To:

Warden and Council

From:

Kelly Pender, Chief Administrative Officer

Prepared by:

Richard Allen, Manager of Economic Development Kevin Farrell, Manager of Continuous Improvement/GIS

Date of meeting:

June 21, 2023

Re:

K&P Trail – Land Conveyance and Transactions with North Frontenac

Recommendation Be It Resolved That the Warden and Clerk be authorized to enter into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with the Township of North Frontenac for lands in PIN 36209-0012, PIN 36209-0030, and PIN 36209-0231 for One Dollar ($1.00); And Further That the County Clerk is hereby further authorized to execute all closing documents as may be required in order to complete the subject transaction, and to do all other things as may be reasonably be required to close and complete the foregoing transaction; And Further That staff work with the Township of North Frontenac to establish an Agreement with use of identified road allowances outlining the responsibilities of each party for the trail and road management when the two uses intersect. Background Frontenac County has begun the process of acquiring the former K&P rail corridor in North Frontenac to rehabilitate the former railway into a multi-use recreational trail. The Township of North Frontenac represents the last significant area for development, consisting of approximately 20 kilometres of the total 180 km spanning from Kingston to Renfrew. The Township of North Frontenac has already voiced its support for the development of the K&P Trail within its jurisdiction and in response to my initial outreach and

PageConveyance 178 of 220and Transactions with North Frontenac 2023-075 K&P Trail Land

presentation on this matter, The Council of the Township of North Frontenac passed resolution #177-21 at their meeting held on April 16, 2021: Moved by Councillor Hermer, Seconded by Councillor Inglis Be It Resolved That Council receives for information the presentation from Richard Allen, Manager of Economic Development, County of Frontenac – K&P Trail Development and thanks him for his time spent today; And That Council supports County’s development of the Frontenac K&P Trail through the Township and requests Township staff work with County staff to prepare Agreements for use of Township property for the trail. The County has identified 3000 m of former rail corridor properties that are under the control of the township and 2335 m of roadways that are necessary for use as part of the K&P Trail. In response to correspondence from the County, at its regular meeting on June 9, 2023, the Council of the Township of North Frontenac affirmed it’s support for the development of the Frontenac K&P Trail and provided direction to Township staff to prepare agreements to sell the three (3) relevant properties for a nominal sum to Frontenac County and to develop a partnership agreement with respect to road crossings and use of roads as part of the K&P Trail. Comment Parcels of Interest There are three parcels of land that the Township of North Frontenac is willing to convey to the County of Frontenac for a nominal sum: PIN 362090012 – Located at the boundary with Central Frontenac. PIN 362090030 – Adjacent to shiner road in Mississippi station and contains two bridges. 3. PIN 362090231 – East of 509 just south of the Mississippi river 1. 2.

These parcels each contain a portion of the former K&P rail corridor, and are shown in the maps included as Appendix A and B. Use of Road Allowance There are five locations where it is not practical or possible to separate the planned route of the K&P Trail from an existing roadway, generally because the railway infrastructure is located within a road allowance, or the existing roadway has been built upon the former rail corridor. Locations of interest are as follows and can be seen in the maps included in Appendix A and B: •

Location 1 Between 509 and Shiner Road along Black Creek (approx. 325 m) – The former

rail corridor, and established trail currently in use travels along this narrow spit of land between Black Creek and Road 509. •

Location 2 Between Shiner Road and PIN 362090231 (approx. 1250 m) – The trail follows the shoulder of the road in this location for a short distance through Mississippi Station, then rejoins separate infrastructure located east of Road 509 but within the road allowance.

•

Location 3 Between PIN 262090231 across the Mississippi and up to PIN 362110105 (approx. 780 m) – The County has explored a number of options for trail development in this location, however the most cost-effective approach will be to work with the township to widen the shoulder(s) of the road to support trail traffic.

•

Location 4 Use of the forced road north/west of 509 as you enter Snow Road from the South. This road has been used as part of the Snowmobile trails for many years.

•

Location 5 Use of Road 509 for 750 m to connect Snow Road portion of trail to northward sections towards Lanark County.

In these cases, it is important for the Township and County to outline an agreement detailing responsibilities for relevant infrastructure and to ensure cooperation when the opportunities to improve these roads and trails arise. This report seeks direction from County Council to purchase PIN 36209-0012; PIN 36209-0030, and PIN 36209-0231 from The Township of North Frontenac, for a nominal sum, in order to clearly establish responsibility for the management of the K&P Trail at these locations. In addition, staff are seeking direction to establish an agreement with the Township of North Frontenac to outline responsibilities for trail and roads management when the two uses intersect at the 5 locations listed above. Financial Implications The identified lands will be purchase from the Township of North Frontenac for a nominal sum.

Corporate Services – Finance – 2022 Reserve and Reserve Funds

Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background Council adopted a Reserve and Reserve Fund Policy in May 2015, which aligned the requirements and long-term direction of Council. Reserve and Reserve funds are defined in six categories:

  1. Operating Reserves
  2. Capital Reserves
  3. Levy Stabilization Reserves
  4. Strategic Project Reserves
  5. External Agency Reserves
  6. Restricted Reserves Comment Council maintained its commitment to the Reserve and Reserve Fund Policy during its 2022 budget deliberations. Operating Reserves: The operating reserves are built up to fund ongoing operations and planned expenditures which may vary from year to year (such as Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) or severance costs), or which may occur on a cycle of

183 of 220 2023-067 Corporate Page Services 2022 Reserve and Reserve Funds

every few years. These reserves provide funding for County activities, such as asset condition assessments, compensation reviews, actuarial assessments, etc. which occur on an intermittent basis. •

The Safe Restart Reserve is comprised of funds received during 2020 and 2021 from the Ontario government to support COVID-19 operating costs and measures. These funds are to be used in 2023 and beyond to offset additional COVID-19 expenses.

•

The balance on WSIB reserves continued to increase for all three business units as the budgeted premiums for WSIB exceeded the costs incurred to manage claims. However, the costs to service claims related to Paramedic Services have increased in each of the past five years. Reserve balances are sufficient for 2022, though contribution rates will need to be rebalanced as costs continue to increase and the expense relating to future liabilities increase. Opening Balance

Capital Asset Management Reserves: The capital asset management reserves are used to fund the replacement of long-lived equipment, vehicles, and buildings. Risk: The Capital Asset Management Reserves are below the amount recommended by Public Sector Digest in their 2014 Asset Management Review. However, the current plan of a .65% increase per year (2022 was year eight of ten) had not included the addition of any new assets from 2014 to now, or the significant cost increases for building replacement. Building costs represent the largest dollar amount component in our capital replacement. The table below illustrates the increase in the Non-Residential Building Consumer Price Index (BCPI) since 2014 for the Ottawa-Gatineau region. OttawaGatineau is the closest comparable for Eastern Ontario; data is unavailable for the City of Kingston, and for reference, the City of Toronto has a similar increase over the reference period.

6.02%

Staff will be recommending an increase to the annual capital levy contribution during the 2024 budget so that the reserve balances are sufficient to meet future capital requirements. In 2022, the incurred capital expenditures were less that what was contributed to the capital reserve. However, significant outflows from the reserve are expected with a planned Administration Building redesign.

Stabilization Reserve: Expenses offset by the Stabilization Reserve in 2022 included: •

$10,808 for County share of oxygen tank holders on paramedic stretchers

•

$5,000 to Red Cross for support of Ukraine

•

$32,000 for rural transportation initiatives

•

$97,437 contribution to the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) for Cell Gap project

No contributions to the stabilization reserve are budgeted, with the year-end surplus making up the contributions to the reserve in years where an unallocated surplus occurs. In 2022, the unallocated deficit of $251,676.86, was taken from the Stabilization Reserve. Note: As of 2020, the Stabilization Reserve is below the amount recommended by the 2013 KPMG Service Delivery and Organization review1 (recommendation #21, pg. 11 and 102). KPMG’s recommendation was for a stabilization reserve equivalent to 10% of the budgets for Frontenac Paramedics and Fairmount Home, or approximately $3.5M for 2021. Subsequently the reserve level was reduced by County Council to recognize the fiscal realities of meeting that goal and the addition of the dedicated 0.65% annual increase for capital replacement. The County’s reserve policy in 2015 adopted a more conservative target for its stabilization reserve of 15% of the municipal levy, or approximately $1.72M for 2022.

*31% of the total reserve balance is held jointly with the City of Kingston for Land Ambulance and Fairmount Home. From a policy perspective, most of the County’s operating reserves are meeting current requirements. •

WSIB Reserves: Changes to annual contributions will be adjusted as a percentage of direct salaries in line with the estimated future liabilities following actuarial assessments. The next actuarial assessment is scheduled to cover 2024 through 2026.

•

Stabilization Reserve: No action recommended at this time, though caution is advised if planning to use the stabilization reserve to offset the costs of one-off requests. The long-range trend has been small, annual increases in the stabilization reserve relating to unallocated surpluses. Staff will continue to monitor the balance in the stabilization reserve and may recommend a different course of action should the balance continue to decrease.

•

Capital Replacement Reserves: Reserve contributions in the form of a dedicated capital levy will need to continue for some time, and likely increase going forward. Staff will bring forward an updated Long Range Financial Plan prior to budget with a long-term recommendation on how to proceed to build up the capital replacement reserve.

Corporate Services – 2023 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA) Compliance Audit

Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background As a broader public sector organization with one or more employees, the County of Frontenac was legally required to file a 2021 accessibility compliance report by December 31, 2021. The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario recommends and the minister decides what must be in the report and how to present the information. These reports tell how the person or organization is complying with the standard. The report is a series of Yes or No questions, and organizations can provide additional information regarding their compliance status in a text field below each question. As per Part III, section 15(1) of the Act, someone who is in an official position of authority in the organization must “certify” that the report is accurate. The Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk completed the County’s Compliance report on December 17, 2021. The Compliance Report determines if organizations are compliant under the AODA and its 5 Standards, those being:

  1. Customer Service Standard;
  2. Information and Communication Standard;

191 of Accessibility 220 2023-070 Corporate Page Services 2023 for Ontarians with Disabi…

3. Employment Standard; 4. Transportation Standard; and, 5. Design of Public Spaces Standard The report filed by the County Clerk indicated that the County was in compliance with all 5 Standards under the AODA. At its regular meeting held January 19, 2022, an Information Report 2022-002 Corporate Services – 2021 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA) Compliance Report. Most notably in the report were the requirements under the Information and Communication standard that asked as of January 1, 2021, do all your organization’s internet websites conform to World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA (except for live captions and pre-recorded audio descriptions)? Please indicate in the comment box provided the complete names and addresses of your publicly available web content, including websites, social media pages, and apps. The County was able to respond yes to these questions. The question also asked what Publicly available web content and comments the organization had for question 14 and the following websites were listed: ➢ County website - www.frontenaccounty.ca ➢ County Civic Web Portal - https://frontenac.civicweb.net/Portal/ ➢ County Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCslBvMTIKEITQHORDNEsNbg ➢ County Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/FrontenacCounty As can be seen, all websites and social media channels fall under this category. This resulted back in 2020 of the County of Frontenac removing all inaccessible pdfs from the County’s website as well as placing a notice on the County’s civic web portal stating: As of January 1, 2021, the County of Frontenac will have removed all documents from its civic web portal dated 2019 and prior. This move is necessary for the County to be in compliance with Section 14 of the Integrated Accessibility Standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. We regret that this will create an unintended barrier to accessing these documents. These documents will remain available to the public upon request and will be provided in an accessible format upon request. Can’t find something you are looking for? Please visit www.frontenaccounty.ca or contact the Clerk at 613 548-9400 ext. 302 or by email.

Comment The Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility conducts desk audits on selected organizations to confirm they are in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and its accessibility standards. The ministry follows a modern regulatory approach to help obligated organizations succeed, while protecting the public interest. They also work with organization if they do not readily have these documents available or have questions on the requirements, to provide compliance support and a structured plan to enable organizations to meet the requirements. On May 16, the Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk was notified by AODA Compliance Ontario that the County of Frontenac had been selected for an AODA desk audit. The County had until June 6, 2023, to provide the requested documentation as per the provided checklist that outlined the documentation that the County must submit for review. On May 17th, the Clerk submitted the Checklist Notice along with the following documents in response to the Desk Audits – Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) - P2 -867959249 for the County of Frontenac: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16)

iv. The average and maximum running slope and cross slope. v. The location of amenities, where provided. This resulted in the maps at Frontenac K&P Trail - County of Frontenac (frontenaccounty.ca) needing to be updated to include the images that had been sent to AODA Compliance Ontario as part of the County’s May 16th submission. Both the Manager of Economic Development and the Manager of Continuous Improvement updated the site. On June 7th, the Manager of Legislative Services/Clerk received a letter from AODA Compliance that it had concluded its desk audit of the County of Frontenac and thanked the County for providing the information requested in its previous correspondence dated May 16, 2023. AODA compliance has completed the desk audit and will not be requesting any further information at this time and thanked the County of Frontenac for helping to make Ontario accessible. Strategic Priorities Priority 1: Get behind plans that build community vitality and resilience in times of growth and change. This priority responds to high interest as well as concern shared broadly across the County that communities in the Frontenacs be well supported with infrastructure and services essential to vitality and sustainability in today’s world. Financial Implications There are no financial implications associated with this report.
