Reports Development of a South Frontenac Seniors Housing Business Plan
Mr. Foulds reviewed the scope of work/activities as part of the business plan development and what the consultants will be looking for from the Task Force. Mr. Orr provided an overview of his discussions with Southern Frontenac Community Services (SFCS), as well as those with a private developer who are both looking for a small 5 unit development. SFCS is not bound by any strategic direction of Rent Geared to Income (RGI) so these units can be market driven which is also the intent of the private developer. Once the Task Force has a model that will work, the Township will issue an RFI. Mr. Foulds questioned if there is any upside to more than 5 units, noting that the business plan for Frontenac Islands was for 5 units with the possibility to add pods of 5 units in the future. The consultants were advised of the 2 potential properties, one being owned by SFCS and the other owned by the private developer and were comfortable with the consultants contacting these parties. The business plan will provide proof of concept and how this is procured would be up to the Township. The Task Force was advised of the new CMHC funding which was recently announced some of which by-passes the municipal service manager and the consultants will try to determine if this model fits within that funding; however it is uncertain how quickly this funding will come.

AGENDA ITEM #a)
With respect to amenities, the business plan should support independent living with the potential for a family or common area. It was noted that it would be more financially viable to have a shared laundry area than each unit having its own separate laundry and a common laundry area has the potential to earn revenues which are typically split with the owner of the building. It was noted that the land available by the Grace Centre already has a common area; however the land available at the private location has a more level terrain, making it a more accessible location. The Task Force’s discussions included survey’s regarding community needs, donation of land as well as potential incentives from the Township such as fee waivers; however it was noted that at this time, there is no policy in place to waive municipal fees. It was noted that the new federal funding could provide up to $150,000 per unit. Any funding through CMHC would require that equity be committed and this could be where the funding from the County is used. Once a decision is made, an Expression of Interest would need to be issued. The consultants suggested that an open house be held and looked to the Committee regarding expectations on how to relate this to the public. It was suggested that it be held November 16 and that the consultants would speak to both the developer and the SFCS as well as provide multiple options for those unable to attend the meeting. The consultants overviewed a general project schedule and will work on a timeline, including identifying milestones and coming up with potential dates although it was expressed that this should be completed during this council term. Next steps The consultants will be formalizing the project scope/terms of engagement and will finalize a work plan for distribution to the Task Force. They will move forward with an Open House, tentatively set for November 16th in the evening and contact existing stakeholders. 7.
