Updates from partners on due diligence work & future intentions Since the last milestone meeting, each partner exploring the joint project has taken time to compare the costs and benefits for the shared option against their own stand-alone options, which vary from partner to partner. Each partner will be asked to report on the results of their due diligence work and whether they intend to proceed further with project development, or not. ▪ Township of South Frontenac update ▪ CRCA update ▪ County of Frontenac update

Wrap-up/Next Steps & Takeaways

The purpose of the working group to this point has been to investigate, consider options and make final recommendations on whether or not the CRCA and County of Frontenac (and potentially South Frontenac) should pursue a joint partnership arrangement and co-location at a site close to the 401. The most recent milestone was commissioning architectural services to validate initial assessments of the costs and options. This work was undertaken to enable the partners to make a decision on whether or not to pursue the next stage of a shared development project.

Background Information for Reference: Shortlist of specific partners / sharing options to be explored further: •

Three-way sharing (CRCA, Frontenac County and South Frontenac)

Frontentac County and CRCA (South Frontenac on its own)

Frontenac County with South Frontenac (CRCA on its own)

All three potential partners go on their own.

Timelines/Milestone Dates: •

Commitment decisions on whether to proceed together or not will likely be required sooner than later (e.g. June 2019).

Proposed timelines if a shared project were to proceed: — 2019: sort out the governance and financing arrangements/budget issues — 2020: complete the design work — 2021: start the construction build, for completion perhaps in 2022

Any delays in moving forward will probably mean increased construction costs.

Parameters for potential location of a shared site: The question of how many and which partners are willing to pursue a shared option must be resolved before more specific criteria for a site search can be determined. Location preferences, site size, building size and service requirements, brand implications and other strategic considerations will all depend on the priorities of the particular partners involved. Area of potential search: In past discussions with all parties, the boundaries of a potential area of search had been narrowed to:

North of 401, south of Rutledge Road, east of Hwy 38 and west of Hwy10

South Frontenac (e.g. Harrowsmith, Inverary, Sydenham)

North part of Kingston close to the 401

Proximity to natural or other assets, services and infrastructure will no doubt be factors in selection of any final site.
