Carried

Comments Construction is set to begin on July 18th, as County of Frontenac Administration Staff abatement of building took place on July 15th. In terms of a Lease Agreement with the CRCA, the driving factor for lease payments was dependent upon the square footage occupied by each party, and the execution of the lease agreement was to be completed once the detailed designs were finalized.

In addition, shared facilities reduce the overall environmental footprint required to occupy two separate facilities. Depending upon outcomes/options in terms of a shared facility, the overall greenhouse gas footprint of the County could be reduced because of this project, thereby assisting in meeting our GHG emission requirements as noted in the County’s Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan. Financial Implications Based on the schedule provided from the contractor, occupancy for Cataraqui Conservation would begin January 1, 2023, with full completion of the building on January 1, 2024. The amount of the lease payments will be finalized after construction is complete and subject to the total cost of construction and the interest rate at the time of borrowing. The lease payments by Cataraqui Conservation would begin after substantial completion for a term of 20 years. The current estimated lease payment by Cataraqui Conservation would be $120,761 per year, based on the total cost of the building and a 31.8% allocation of costs determined by its share of dedicated space. This indicative lease payment is based off the cost of borrowing for an estimated construction cost of $4,640,000 and an interest rate of 4.66% over a 20-year term. Under the lease agreement, the cost of utilities would be excluded from the lease payment. Cataraqui Conservation and the County would be responsible for their own costs for internet and telephone service. Joint costs, such as hydro, natural gas, snow clearing, janitorial services, common area maintenance, technology and capital replacement, and alarm and security costs would be shared in accordance with the 68.2%/31.8% allocation in relation to square footage as “Additional Rent” in the agreement.

(c)

the Tenant makes an assignment or sublease without the approval of the Landlord;

(d)

the Tenant abandons or attempts to abandon the Premises, or the Premises become vacant or substantially unoccupied for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or more without the consent of the Landlord;

(e)

the Tenant moves or commences, attempts or threatens to move its trade fixtures, chattels and equipment out of the Premises; or

(f)

any insurance policy covering any part of the Premises is, or is threatened to be, cancelled or adversely changed (including a substantial premium increase) as a result of any action or omission by the Tenant or any person for whom it is legally responsible.

11.2 Landlord Remedies: If and whenever an Event of Default occurs, then, without prejudice to any other rights which it has pursuant to this Lease or at law, in accordance with the Commercial Tenancies Act, the Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, which are cumulative and not alternative: (a)

to terminate this Lease by notice to the Tenant or to re-enter the Premises and repossess them and, in either case, enjoy them as of its former estate, and to remove all persons and property from the Premises and store such property at the expense and risk of the Tenant or sell or dispose of such property in such manner as the Landlord sees fit without notice to the Tenant. If the Landlord enters the Premises without notice to the Tenant as to whether it is terminating this Lease under this Section 11.2(a) or proceeding under Section 11.2(b) or any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord shall be deemed to be proceeding under Section 11.2(b), and the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall there be any surrender by operation of law, but the Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the Landlord notifies the Tenant that it has elected to terminate this Lease. No entry by the Landlord during the Term shall have the effect of terminating this Lease without notice to that effect to the Tenant;

(b)

to enter the Premises as agent of the Tenant to do any or all of the following: (i) relet the Premises for whatever length and on such terms as the Landlord, in its discretion, may determine, and to receive the rent therefor; (ii) take possession of any property of the Tenant on the Premises, store such property at the expense and risk of the Tenant, or sell or otherwise dispose of such property in such manner as the Landlord sees fit, without notice to the Tenant; (iii) make alterations to the Premises to facilitate their reletting; and (iv) apply the proceeds of any such sale or reletting first, to the payment of any expenses incurred by the Landlord with respect to any such reletting or sale, second, to the payment of any indebtedness of the Tenant to the Landlord other than rent, and third, to the payment of rent in

00759861.DOCX:

Page 16 of 37

arrears, with the residue to be held by the Landlord and applied to payment of future rent as it becomes due and payable, provided that the Tenant shall remain liable for any deficiency to the Landlord; (c)

to remedy or attempt to remedy any default of the Tenant under this Lease for the account of the Tenant and to enter upon the Premises for such purposes. No notice of the Landlord’s intention to remedy or attempt to remedy such default need be given to the Tenant unless expressly required by this Lease, and the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant for any loss, injury or damages caused by acts of the Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection therewith;

(d)

to recover from the Tenant all damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord as a result of any default by the Tenant including, if the Landlord terminates this Lease, any deficiency between those amounts which would have been payable by the Tenant for the portion of the Term following such termination and the net amounts actually received by the Landlord during such period of time with respect to the Premises; and

(e)

to recover from the Tenant the full amount of the current month’s rent together with the next six (6) months’ installments of rent, less any month’s installments of rent that rent was paid and proper notice was provided to the Landlord, if applicable, all of which shall immediately become due and payable as accelerated rent.

11.3 Distress: Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any provision of any applicable legislation, none of the goods and chattels of the Tenant on the Premises at any time during the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for rent in arrears, and the Tenant waives any such exemption. If the Landlord makes any claim against the goods and chattels of the Tenant by way of distress, this provision may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action brought to test the right of the Landlord to levy such distress. 11.5 Remedies Cumulative: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord may from time to time resort to any or all of the rights and remedies available to it in the event of any default hereunder by the Tenant, either by any provision of this Lease, by statute, or common law, all of which rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative and not alternative. The express provisions contained in this Lease as to certain rights and remedies are not to be interpreted as excluding any other or additional rights and remedies available to the Landlord by statute or common law. 12. Miscellaneous 12.1 Notices: Any notice, delivery, payment or tender of money or document(s) to the parties hereunder may be delivered personally or sent by prepaid registered or certified mail or prepaid courier to the following addresses:

CATARAQUI REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

and any such notice, delivery or payment so delivered or sent shall be deemed to have been given or made and received upon delivery of same or on the third (3rd) business day following the mailing of same, as the case may be. Each party may, by notice in writing to the others from time to time, designate an alternative address in Canada to which notices given more than ten (10) days thereafter shall be addressed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice, delivery, payment or tender of money or document(s) to be given or made to any party hereunder during any disruption in the service of the Canada Post Office shall be deemed to have been received only if delivered personally or sent by prepaid courier. 12.2 Force Majeure: Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, in the event that either the Landlord or the Tenant should be delayed, hindered or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of any unavoidable delay, including strikes, lockouts, unavailability of materials, inclement weather, acts of God or any other cause beyond its reasonable care and control, but not including insolvency or lack of funds, then performance of such act shall be postponed for a period of time equivalent to the time lost by reason of such delay. The provisions of this Section shall not under any circumstances operate to excuse the Tenant from prompt payment of rent and/or any other charges payable under this Lease. 12.3 Waiver: No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by any other party of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease shall be or be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or the breach of any other covenants, agreements or obligations, nor shall any forbearance by any party hereto to seek a remedy for any breach by any other party be a waiver by the party so forbearing of its rights and remedies with respect to such breach or any subsequent breach. The subsequent acceptance of rent by the Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by the Tenant of any term, covenant or condition regardless of the Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent. All rent and other charges payable by the Tenant to the Landlord hereunder shall be paid without any deduction, set off or abatement whatsoever, and the Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any statutory or other right in respect of abatement or set off in its favour at the time hereof or at any future time. 12.4 Registration: Neither the Tenant nor anyone on the Tenant’s behalf or claiming under the Tenant (including any Transferee) shall register this Lease or any Transfer against the Premises. The Tenant may register a notice or caveat of this Lease provided that: (a) a copy of the Lease is not attached; (b) no financial terms are disclosed; and (c) the Tenant pays the Landlord’s reasonable costs on account of the matter. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Tenant shall immediately discharge or otherwise vacate any such notice or caveat.

12.5 Interpretation: Words importing the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa, words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and words importing persons shall include firms and corporations and vice versa. The division of this Lease into Sections and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Lease. If any Section or part or parts of a Section in this Lease are or become illegal or unenforceable, it or they shall be considered separate and severable from the Lease and the remaining provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the Landlord and the Tenant as though such Section or part or parts thereof had never been included in this Lease. It is an express condition of this Lease that the subdivision control provisions of the applicable provincial legislation be complied with, if necessary. If such compliance is necessary, the Tenant covenants and agrees to diligently proceed, at its own expense, to obtain the required consent, and the Landlord agrees to co-operate with the Tenant in bringing such application. 12.6 Overholding: If, at the expiration of the Term or any subsequent renewal or extension thereof, the Tenant shall continue to occupy the Premises without further written agreement, there shall be no tacit renewal of this Lease, and the tenancy of the Tenant thereafter shall be from month to month only, and may be terminated by either party on one (1) month’s notice. Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each month equal to the sum of one hundred and fifteen percent (115%) of the monthly installment of rent payable during the last year of the Term, and all terms and conditions of this Lease shall, so far as applicable, apply to such monthly tenancy. 12.7 Entire Agreement: There are no covenants, representations, warranties, agreements or other conditions, express or implied, collateral or otherwise, forming part of or in any way affecting or relating to this Lease, save as expressly set out or incorporated by reference herein, and this Lease constitutes the entire agreement duly executed by the parties hereto, and no amendment, variation or change to this Lease shall be binding unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 12.8 Successors and Assigns: The rights and liabilities of the parties shall enure to the benefit of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, subject to any requirement for consent by the Landlord hereunder. 12.9 Personal Information: Any Tenant that is an individual person consents to the collection and use of their personal information, as provided directly or collected from third parties, for the purposes of the Landlord considering the Tenant’s offer in respect of this Lease and determining the suitability of the Tenant, as applicable (both initially and on an on-going basis), including the disclosure of such information to existing and potential lenders, investors and purchasers. 13.0 Counterparts and Transmission: This lease agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

calculation of costs that are incremental to the operation of the County
Information System Department as of the 2019 approved County budget.

decline over a five-year (60 months) period to a base of $90,000 (2019
dollars) or 80.4% of the position costs in any given year.
