Items of Business a)

Mr. Joe Gallivan, Manager of Sustainability Planning provided the Seniors Housing Task Force with general Planning advice and direction. He provided the Task Force both background from a Planning perspective as well as what he and Mr. Young would be able to assist the Task Force with. It was noted that County Council endorsed the Municipal Housing Strategy which was done collaboratively through County and the City of Kingston; however at that time, the focus of the County was on seniors housing and as a result, the County went forward on a Seniors Housing Study with models that would benefit each township.

Planning staff are able to provide advice and the tools required to build the types of housing the Task Force would like to see and can assist with funding opportunities. Moving forward, Mr. Gallivan will be involved with Joint Management between the County and the City regarding planning and the Task Force may also look to the Housing and Homelessness Advisory Committee for support. Further to this, there is an outstanding motion yet to be dealt with by County Council around the use of reserve funds for seniors housing. The Task Force also discussed bringing the issue of seniors housing to local MP’s and MPP’s as the provincial government is supportive of programs that assist people in staying in their homes and communities. b)

Marysville Seniors Home Working Group Mr. Walter Knott addressed the Task Force regarding small groups that came together several years ago to see if there would be interest in pursuing a form of seniors housing and discovered that there are records back to 1981 regarding such a project. He noted a questionnaire was sent out with approximately 120 replies. He also provided the results of those surveys which indicate a strong community belief that more housing will be required on the Island. He confirmed that for this to move forward, a business plan needs to be prepared which the working group has attempted to solicit funds for and was able to collect $5000; however this amount was insufficient and the project stalled. There needs to be a specific business plan that each Township could use and this will be a major focus of this committee. The Task Force discussed approaching the City of Kingston regarding this matter as it is the service provider for the County and the County could provide the funding. The Committee also discussed the facility in Sharbot Lake that was done by the North Frontenac Not for Profit Housing Corporation, which is now Central Frontenac Not for Profit Housing Corporation which would already have a business plan place, where the major funding came through the City of Kingston as the service manager. After much discussion, the Task Force felt it more appropriate that it have a site visit of the Sharbot Lake facility and that all Task Force members and alternates be invited to attend. It was also pointed out that another source of funding could be through the CIP which is FGT funded. Ms. Kathy Horton addressed the Seniors Housing Task Force on her thoughts around seniors housing, noting that when we look at seniors housing there tends to be a tendency to be very kind to seniors with the assumption they are unable to live independently; however most seniors want to live independently and if there is common space within that independent living, they form a community. The question becomes how to you create a common yet independent living space without creating a junior

nursing home. She pointed the Task Force to the housing facility in Sharbot Lake which could help drive the vision; however it was noted that Wolfe Island is more interested in a senior’s residence. Staff pointed out to the Task Force that approvals may be required at the site location, specifically with the Health Unit around water and the Ministry of the Environment regarding waste water. Staff also offered solutions through the planning process (hydro geological study) but there is a liability around maintaining a well and the Township may need to take on some of the liability. Land owners within the community were also noted that have access to major water supplies. Septic beds will also need to be addressed. There are a variety of different systems out there and options to be considered. The Task Force discussed next steps and moving forward including setting milestones and having a project shovel ready should funding become available. Councillor Purdon will liaise with Jane Drew of the Central Frontenac Not for Profit Housing Corporation to organize a site visit for the Task Force during the week of April 28th. Once the date is confirmed, an invitation will be sent to all Alternate members. It was suggested that members forward any questions they may have for Ms. Drew to Ms. Amini in advance of the site visit. Ms. Plumley will bring back information to the Task Force on the system run by the County of Lennox and Addington where the County runs the system and the cost is levied back to the Townships. It was also noted that the Kingston Frontenac Housing Corporation, at its presentation to County Council, advised that it would not build any additional housing in the County but would be willing to manage a facility. Mr. Gallivan will investigate types of funding during his meeting with the City of Kingston Service Manager; however it was felt that there is more funding available for private developers who develop types of social housing and this too could be investigated. Ms. Kathy Horton addressed the Task Force regarding a group that she and Ms. Claire Lovatt are part of that are looking at a type of co-housing that would be multi generational. This type of housing has similar elements which includes a shared common space and amenities. She is hoping to have a public meeting on April 8th to see if there is an interest for this type of housing on Wolfe Island. Mayor Doyle thanked Ms. Horton for this information but expressed that this type of housing was not part of the business of this Task Force. 8.
