Notice of Motion

a)

Notice of Motion One:

Moved by Councillor Turcotte Seconded by That Council direct staff to prepare and submit a formal letter of objection to the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, expressing our profound concern that the “Strong Mayor” model, the proposed consolidation of Conservation Authorities, and the municipal planning implications of Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, represent a systematic erosion of municipal democratic agency and local environmental oversight, and further, that this letter be shared with the Association

Page 3 of 157

of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), our local Conservation Authorities and all neighbouring municipalities. b)

Notice of Motion Two:

Moved by Councillor Ruttan Seconded by Whereas the Conservation Authorities Act (1946) established Conservation Authorities (CAs) as local, watershed-based bodies to manage natural resources in partnership with municipalities; Whereas Conservation Authorities are governed by Boards of Directors comprised of municipally elected officials or appointees, ensuring direct accountability to the local tax base; Whereas the current funding model relies heavily on municipal levies and selfgenerated revenue, with the Province of Ontario contributing approximately 5% or less to operating budgets (e.g., Cataraqui Conservation receives ~48% from municipalities and only ~5% from the Province); Whereas the Province of Ontario has introduced Schedule 3 of Bill 68 and Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) posting 025-1257, which proposes to amalgamate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into seven (7) centralized regional entities governed by a new “Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency”; Whereas this forced amalgamation threatens to dilute local decision-making, sever the critical link between local property taxes and local service delivery, and ignore the unique hydrological and environmental differences between our distinct watersheds; Therefore be it Resolved That the Council of South Frontenac Township formally opposes the proposed amalgamation of Conservation Authorities as outlined in ERO 025-1257; And Further That Council calls upon the Province of Ontario to:

  1. Pause the implementation of Bill 68, Schedule 3;
  2. Maintain the current watershed-based governance model that ensures local accountability; and
  3. Engage in meaningful consultation with municipalities to address specific concerns regarding efficiency without dismantling local governance; And Further That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, our local MPP John Jordan, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and all Conservation Authorities within our region. c)

Notice of Motion Three:

Moved by Councillor Leonard Seconded by That Council request the Bank of Montreal to reconsider the proposed closure of the Verona BMO Branch due to the anticipated growth to occur in Verona in the near future (Verona Housing Project, McMullen Manor); and That a copy of the resolution be provided to MPP John Jordan and the Bank of Montreal. 19.

Subject:

Public Meeting for Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-20250101, Scott (The Boulevard Group), 4413 Road 38

Report Number:

2025-163

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2025-0101 for the property municipally known as 4413 Road 38. If approved, the zoning on a portion of the subject property would be changed from Rural (RU) to a Rural special exception zone (RU-XX) that would allow a residential land use less than 300 metres from a licensed quarry. Consistent with Council’s Procedural By-law, Council will receive comments from the public on the application through the public meeting. Staff will bring a more detailed report considering applicable policy and public comments, as well as providing a recommendation to Council on this application at a future meeting. Recommendation This report is for information only. Background The subject property is situated beside a licensed quarry. The Zoning By-law does not allow new residential uses (e.g. new lot and/or new house) within 300 metres of a quarry, but they may be allowed on land between 300 metres and 500 metres. The purpose of the proposed by-law is to permit the creation of a new rural residential building lot which is partly within 300 metres of the neighbouring quarry. A future dwelling on the proposed severed lot would be more than 300 metres from the licensed extraction area of the quarry. The Township is in receipt of a consent application for a rural residential building lot. The proposed severed lot would be approximately 3.94 acres in area with 175 metres of frontage on Quinn Road West. The zoning by-law amendment must be considered first because the consent application currently does not comply with the zoning by-law. The draft by-law that was submitted with the application would change the zone in the area of the proposed lot from RU to RU-XX. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning. The subject property is located on the west side of Road 38 and on the north side of Quinn Road West, approximately 750 metres from the Settlement Area of Harrowsmith. It is approximately 109.62 hectares in size. The property consists of parts of Lot 7 and 8 of Concession 3 in the former Township of Portland. The lands located within Lot 7 and 8 maintain separate assessment roll numbers but are merged under a single property identifier number (PIN). Existing development is concentrated to the east side of the subject property and consists of a single dwelling, unoccupied barn and two accessory buildings. The northern third of the subject property is densely vegetated, while the southern portion has multiple cleared areas used for agriculture. A seasonal watercourse enters through the southwestern corner and extends on a diagonal approximately 225m into the interior of the property. The abutting property to the west (3728 Wilton Road) contains an existing quarry, which operates under Aggregate Resources Act License ID 2409. The surrounding area consists of smaller rural residential lots and large rural landholdings. Application and Supporting Documents The application and supporting documents can be accessed through the Township’s CivicWeb Document Centre, https://southfrontenac.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/114028/

Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report A Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (The Boulevard Group, October 2025) was submitted in support of the application. The report assessed the appropriateness of the proposed zoning by-law amendment in the context of the surrounding area as well as its conformity with the applicable policy and regulatory framework. The report reviewed the compatibility of the proposed lot in relation to the existing quarry in the area. The report concluded that the proposed lot would not result in any compatibility issues with the existing quarry that is not already addressed through operational practices and the regulatory framework governing the quarry. Department and Agency Comments Public Services confirmed that the proposed lot would have a safe entrance location. Building Services expressed no immediate concerns regarding the installation of a sewage system on the proposed severed lot. The details and location of a sewage system are typically determined through the building permit process. Cataraqui Conservation had no objection to the proposal. Public Comments No public comments were received before this report was finalized.

Preliminary Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment will need to be assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Planning Statement 2024, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75, as amended. The Provincial Planning Statement (PPS) 2024 indicates that mineral aggregate resources shall be protected for long-term use (section 4.5). It also states that mineral aggregate operations shall be protected from development and activities that would preclude or hinder their expansion or continued use or which would be incompatible for reasons of public health, public safety or environmental impacts. The County of Frontenac Official Plan contains policies that are consistent with the PPS. It requires the Township to identify and protect all existing mineral aggregate operations from incompatible uses (section 2.1.2.2.4) The Township of South Frontenac Official Plan intends to protect, wherever possible and practical, sand and gravel resources and a reasonable amount of bedrock resources for aggregate extraction and ensure that the resources are utilized in accordance with property controls. The existing licensed quarry is designated “Mineral Extraction” and is zoned “Quarry B-2”. The Official Plan prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing quarry as a means of protecting mineral aggregates and existing quarries from incompatible land uses. The Official Plan also intends to prevent incompatible land uses less than 500 metres but more than 300 metres from an existing quarry. The 500 metres is an influence area, which is not meant to be a strict buffer or setback area in which development is prohibited, but rather, it is an area where impacts may occur or may be experienced, and development may occur subject to a form of technical assessment. These policies are implemented through the Zoning By-law. Section 5.34.1 prohibits residential land uses within 300 metres of an existing quarry. Section 5.34.2 of the Zoning By-law specifies that residential land uses may be permitted on lands between 300 metres and 500 metres of an existing quarry provided a minor variance or rezoning application is approved by the Township. The subject property abuts a licensed quarry. The owners proposed to sever a new lot in the southwest corner of the property. A portion of the proposed lot would be within 300 metres of the licensed quarry site to the west. The location of proposed residential development (e.g. dwelling) on the proposed lot would be more than 300 metres from the licensed area of the quarry. The Planning Justification and Land Use Compatibility Report (The Boulevard Group, October 2025) concluded that approval of the new lot will not result in any incompatibility that is not able to be addressed by the operational practices and the regulatory framework governing the quarry. It was noted that as the extractive operations of the quarry continue at a greater depth over time, nuisance-related impacts from noise, dust and vibration will gradually reduce at off-site sensitive receptors. Additionally, the report suggests that the www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2025-163

Page 30 of 157

quarry license would recognize the existence of four dwellings located in closer proximity to the quarry, and place limitations on blasting and extraction activities from these existing residential lands, such that any future residential development on the proposed severed lot is correspondingly protected. It was determined that an Official Plan Amendment was not required as numbers in the Official Plan are not fixed or rigid, particularly related to mineral aggregate resource influence areas. However, a zoning by-law amendment is required because residential land uses are specifically prohibited within 300 metres of an existing quarry. The draft by-law submitted with the application proposes to permit residential land uses within 215 metres of the neighbouring quarry. It appears that this was determined by measuring the distance between the QB-2 Zone of the quarry and the “buildable area” on the proposed severed lot. Staff note that this distance should be measured from closest proposed property line to the quarry’s licensed area. Staff measurements using Frontenac Maps indicate that the proposed lot would be approximately 248 metres from the licensed area. Staff note that the proposed lot would meet other applicable policies including those related to minimum distance separation from livestock facilities. A detailed policy analysis will be provided in a subsequent report to Council following the public meeting. The report may include a by-law for consideration by Council. The content of a proposed by-law may be refined based on the detailed policy analysis and consideration of comments received at the public meeting.

Subject:

Willowbrook Subdivision Phase 1 - Deeming By-Law and Dedication of 0.3m Reserve

Report Number:

2025-164

Summary This report recommends that Council pass a by-law to deem Block 8 on Plan 13M105 (Willowbrook Subdivision Phase 1) not to be a lot in a plan of subdivision for the purpose of applying 50(3) of the Planning Act. The report also recommends that Council pass a by-law dedicating the 0.3 metre reserve that is Block 12 on Plan 13M105 as a public road. Recommendation That By-law 2025-77, attached to Report Number 2025-77, as Exhibit A, to deem the property described as Block 8, Plan 13M105, District of Storrington, Township of South Frontenac as not being in a plan of subdivision, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2025-78 attached to Report Number 2025-78, as Exhibit B, to dedicate the 0.3 metre reserve that is Block 12 on Plan 13M105, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2025-77and By-law 2025-78 be presented to Council for third reading. Background Willowbrook Subdivision is a residential subdivision in Inverary. The subdivision is being developed in two phases. The developer has requested the Township issue preliminary and final acceptance of the Phase 1 works. There are only a few outstanding items remaining before the Township can accept the works. One of those items requires Council to pass a deeming by-law. There is a large wetland on the west side of the subdivision. The wetland spans four properties. The wetland is known as Block 8 on Plan 13M105 within Phase 1. It was a condition of the draft plan of subdivision approval to have the wetland conveyed to an adjacent property owner. The intent was to keep the wetland intact and to minimize the number of owners. The subdivision agreement (Schedule J, clause 27) required the developer to convey Block 8 to the owner of the adjacent property (PIN: 362920158). The agreement also required a www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2025-164

Page 35 of 157

deeming by-law be passed so that the two parcels would merge on title and not be separately conveyable. There is a 0.3 metre reserve on Summerside Drive between Phase 1 and Phase 2. The purpose of the reserve was to prevent direct access to the Phase 2 lands until certain conditions are met. The effect is to prohibit development. The developer has requested the Township to lift the 0.3 metre reserve on Summerside Drive between Phase 1 and Phase 2. They currently have a licence agreement to legally cross the reserve to prepare the land for development. Discussion Under the Planning Act, whole lots and blocks in a plan of subdivision are always legally able to be sold separately. A deeming by-law must be passed by Council deeming Block 8 on Plan 13M105 not to be in the subdivision so that the parcel can merge with the adjacent property (i.e., so they stick together) and the Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs) can be consolidated through the Land Registry Office. The effect is that the two parcels will become one parcel. Regarding the 0.3 metre reserve, staff have determined that it is now appropriate to dedicate the 0.3 metre reserve as a public highway. The Phase 2 subdivision was registered and the developer and Township entered into a subdivision agreement. The 0.3 metre reserve on Summerside Drive must be lifted to provide legal access to the subdivision lots so that building permits can be issued. The by-law calls for the dedication but not assumption of the reserve. Council will be asked to pass a separate by-law to assume the subdivision roads and the reserve block when the Township is ready to issue final acceptance of all the works in the subdivision. This usually happens after a majority of the lots are developed and road construction is completed. Financial Implications The cost of registration of the required documentation will be paid by the developer.

Notice/Consultation These requests did not require statutory notice and/or circulation. Public Services is coordinating the required review for preliminary and final acceptance of the works associated with Phase 1. They have no concerns with dedicating the 0.3 metre reserve. The Clerk’s Office was consulted on dedicating the 0.3 metre reserve and the licence agreement.

Build Canada Homes Application

Report Number:

2025-171

Summary The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of an application for funding and financing under the new Build Canada Homes program for the Verona Housing project. Recommendation That Council endorse the Build Canada Homes Application in the amount of $21 million, including a capital grant contribution of $6 million and a repayable loan of $15 million. That the CAO be authorized to revise the authorized application amount while discussing proposed terms within 5% of the approved amount. That the final terms of any Build Canada Homes successful conditional approvals be brought back for Council endorsement. Background On November 26, 2025, the Build Canada Homes (BCH) investment policy framework was released. The program is funded by the Government of Canada and replaces programs that were previously available through CMHC. As reference in their announcement from November 2025: “The framework outlines the agency’s priorities, investment principles, and eligibility criteria—setting the foundation for a new, flexible, and outcome-driven approach to housing delivery—that will deliver on affordable housing in communities across the country”. The focus of the program is to prioritize projects that are: -Ready to build: Construction to begin within 12 months -Affordability: affordability that meets local needs and creates capacity for non-profit housing. Build Canada Homes defines affordability as:

Summer Program Registration Model Updates

Report Number:

2025-014

Summary This report seeks approval from the Recreation and Leisure Services Advisory Committee for proposed changes to the summer program registration model. Recommendation That the Recreation and Leisure Services Advisory Committee recommend that Council support the proposed changes to the summer program registration model, as outlined in Recreation and Leisure Services Advisory Committee Report Number 2025-014. Background At the November 2024 Recreation and Leisure Services Advisory Committee meeting, the Committee approved a revised registration format as per 2024-013. Despite these changes, demand for summer programs continues to exceed available capacity. Staff received feedback from parents and guardians expressing frustration that some children were able to attend camp for most of the summer, while others were unable to secure any weeks at all. In response to this feedback, and following a review of practices in comparable municipalities, staff are recommending the implementation of a four-week participation cap per child for the summer program season. Discussion/Analysis As in previous years, summer programs for the 2025 season reached capacity within minutes of registration opening. While parents and community members acknowledged and appreciated efforts to ensure fair access for residents, concerns remained that many children were still missing out on camp opportunities. To address this, staff recommend instituting a four-week cap limit on the number of weeks each camper is eligible to attend. This approach allows participants to enjoy up to half of the summer at camp while more equitably distributed program spaces among children. Staff also note that the Xplore Recreation registration software uses GIS integration for address verification. However, users must enter “South Frontenac” as the municipality in www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

the address field rather than their specific village or hamlet. This requirement contributed to confusion during the 2025 registration period, as most residents naturally identify their community by its local name. This limitation will continue to affect the registration process, and staff will develop and implement a strategic public communication plan to reduce confusion and prevent inadvertent misclassification of residency status. All other changes to the registration model that was approved in November 2024 will remain in place. Financial Implications None.

2026 Capital Budget Overview Council December 9, 2025 Page 46 of 157

Introduction

The Capital Budget is one component of the overall budget process which focuses on major cost items for each area of the Township’s infrastructure, assets or studies which support the delivery of services to the community or helps support future capital investment decisions.

The Capital Budget is a key tool in the investment required to achieve our strategic priorities

Page 47 of 157

2026 Capital Budget • The draft capital budget represents proposed capital budget items received from department heads, vetted by the Treasurer and CAO. • It incorporates input from the Township’s strategic plan, committees and Council. Many proposed items are driven by established replacement schedules which are funded by defined reserves (e.g. Equipment Reserve). • Staff review the proposed items taking consideration for the impact to the tax levy and available reserve funds. • Funding sources will be shown when the full budget is reviewed. Sources of revenue to pay for the Capital budget include: • Taxation • Reserves • Grants including

• Ontario Community Investment Funding (OCIF) • CCBF from the Province and the County(Formerly Gas Tax)

Page 48 of 157

• Development Charges • Parkland Reserves • Confirmed one-time grants such as HEWSF, CMHC & FCM (Verona Housing) and CSRIF (Centennial Park)

2026 Capital Budget • The capital budget sheets provide details on the description of a project, its rationale, full forecasted project costs, any actuals to date along with its funding breakdown. • Carry forward capital projects that were approved in prior years, but are not yet completed are not listed in the 2026 budget, except for multiyear projects requiring funding in 2026. These projects are identified as pre-approved in the summary project list. • The items presented in the 2026 Capital Budget are in line with the targeted annual capital budget as set out in the Township’s 10 year long range financial plan (LRFP) previously reviewed with Council.

Department: 3300 - Hardtop

Relationship to Strategic Plan: N/A

Description: Asset # 54910

Rationale: The reconstruction of Road 38 has been identified as a priority road project for 2025 within the 5 year plan received by Council on May 2, 2023.

Project will include the detailed design and reconstruction of approximately 5.8km of Road 38 from Kingston Road to Murton Road.

Council accepted the recommendations of the Preliminary Design and provided staff direction to advance the Detailed Design Phase on August 13th, 2024.

Recommended design will include full depth reconstruction of the roadway complete with two lanes and two paved shoulders (11.0m width) and shoulder roundings.

This section of Road 38 was last constructed in 1993. Surface conditions are poor and unplanned maintenance demands continue to be a concern for meeting service levels.

Work on the corridor will be phased over 2025 and 2026. Additional related works at Murvale Creek can be found under project # 25-34.

Current AADT is 9,205 vehicles per year. PCI rating of 60 (Fair) in 2022.

Capital Project Detail Sheet Project Information Project Name: Surface Treatment (LCB) Preservation

Type of Project: Local Roadway

Project Number: 26-35

Basis for Activity: Asset Renewal

Department: 3300 - Hardtop

Relationship to Strategic Plan: N/A

Description: Rehabilitation of over 20 km of surface treated roadways with localized repairs and application of a low class bituminous Single Surface Treatment (chip seal). A priority list has been attached as a project document with additional details on forecasted roadways.

Rationale: The application of a single surface treatment (chip seal) is a key asset management strategy for long term performance of the Township’s road network of low class bituminous (LCB) roadways. Single surface treatments can add 5 to 7 years of added service life at a low cost and help manage unplanned maintenance expenses (potholes, cracking, and edge break-up). The commitment to an annual LCB preservation plan is reflected as a 2026 project in the 5 year plan endorsed by Council on May 2, 2023.

Type of Project: Arterial Roadway

Project Number: 26-40

Basis for Activity: Asset Renewal

Department: 3300 - Hardtop

Relationship to Strategic Plan: N/A

Description: The arterial road culvert replacement program targets the renewal of cross culvert assets on the Township’s major roadways that bear a poor or very poor condition rating. The program was initially created in 2025 and has been developed as part of the continued investments supporting the recommendations and findings from investments in Asset Management Planning.

Rationale: Public Services launched a cross culvert assessment program using internal technical staff in the spring of 2024. Records indicate that there had not been a similar inspection program since 2018. Data collected on arterial culverts in 2024 indicated that 1 in 3 culverts inventoried was poor or very poor condition. The program targets the replacement of approximately 10 crossings per year. This years focus will include continued work on Perth Road (Buck Lake heading South).

Type of Project: Facilities

Project Number: 26-71

Basis for Activity: Other

Department: 3000 - Overhead

Relationship to Strategic Plan: N/A

Description: The Closure Plan development for the Green Bay landfill (Burns Road) has identified that the south slope of the landfill may require a Slope Stability Review pending further discussions with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks.

Rationale: On August 13th, 2024, Township Council directed staff to advance a closure plan for the Green Bay Waste Disposal Site. Cambium and the Township have been working on the closure plan details throughout 2025. The south slope of the waste mound at the Green Bay WDS currently has a steep embankment that extends to an existing watercourse. This side slope at the landfill is unlikely to meet the required 4H:1V slope typically required as part of the end state for closure. Cambium has flagged that a slope stability study may be requested by the MECP and has advised that it should be included in the budget for 2026 as a contingency item.

Department: 1200 - Administrative Facilities

Relationship to Strategic Plan: Priority #1 - Sustainable Long-Term Prosperity

Description: Multi-year site works project for the Bedford Garage.

Rationale: The site is currently supplied water from the Glendower Hall and required a dedicated water source for that property.

Scope includes the installation of a water service and parking lot drainage work in 2025 and planning for asphalt paving in 2026.

The site is low and requires drainage improvements in advance of a new paved parking lot proposed for 2026. The storm water drainage work will be done in conjunction with the installation of a new oil & grit separator (previously approved project 24-52).

Subject:

Bill 60 - Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act

Report Number:

2025-167

Summary This report provides a summary of Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025. Bill 60 amends 18 different Acts. This summary will focus on proposed changes to the Planning Act and Development Charges Act and the enactment of the Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act. Recommendation For information only. Background Bill 60, also known as the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025 received royal assent on November 27, 2025, and results in changes to the Planning Act and Development Charges Act, and enactment of the Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act. Discussion/Analysis The policy changes to the Planning Act and Development Charges Act build on the changes approved under Bill 17, the Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025.

Planning Act Changes: As-of-Right Variations to Zoning By-law Performance Standards

The changes allow the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to establish a regulation that would permit minor variances to a Zoning By-law “as of right” without the need for a Council decision. The exemptions to performance standards such as building height, lot coverage or setbacks would apply to specified lands identified in the regulation. The draft regulation is not yet available for review. Under the proposal the Minister would be able to permit a variation to a Zoning By-law to be “as of right” if a proposal was within a prescribed percentage (e.g. 10%) of the requirement. The reason for the proposal is to avoid lengthy approval processes, fast-track priority housing projects, and lower costs passed on from developers to home purchasers and reduce expenses for homeowners making essential modifications.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2025-167

Page 123 of 157

Staff Comment: The regulation stipulates that the ‘as of right’ variations would only apply to urban residential lands, therefore not applicable to the Township. Furthermore, most minor variance applications request variances that are greater than 10%.

Exempting Ministerial Decisions from the Requirements of Provincial Policy Statement

Changes in Bill 60 allow the Minister to make decisions on land use outside the Greenbelt Area that do not adhere to the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (PPS). The PPS is issued under section 3 of the Planning Act and sets out provincial land use policy direction related to growth and development that all municipalities must adhere to. From it flows Official Plan policies and implementation tools such as Zoning By-laws. Subsection 3(5) of the Act requires that decisions affecting a planning matter “shall be consistent with” PPS policies. Bill 60 allows Ministerial decisions to be exempt from PPS policies. Staff Comment: This change is in direct opposition of land use planning policies across the province and appears illogical and counterintuitive to the direction of the Planning Act.

Amendments to the Implementation of Community Improvement Plans (CIPs) Changes are proposed to the Planning Act to support flexible implementation of Community Improvement Plans (CIPs), including enabling all upper-tier municipalities to establish regional Community Improvement Plans and allow funding to lower-tier municipalities for their CIPs. A CIP is a tool under section 28 of the Planning Act that permits municipalities to make grants or loans within the community improvement plan project areas to help pay for certain costs despite the general municipal prohibition on bonusing. Currently, only prescribed uppertier municipalities who have official plan policies in place can adopt regional CIPs. Municipalities can only provide funding for the CIP of its respective upper or lower-tier municipality if the municipality has official plan policies in place to do so. The proposed changes would remove barriers to enable the flexible use of CIPs, including allowing all upper-tier municipalities to establish regional CIPs and financially support lower-tiers. South Frontenac’s Official Plan contains policies pertaining to CIPs in the Township. Council can designate certain areas as a Community Improvement Project Area under the policy including the authority to offer incentives to stimulate or leverage private and/or public sector investment. The policies in the Official Plan contain criteria for the designation of a Community Improvement Area and guidance on the preparation of Community Improvement Plans. Frontenac County is not currently a designated as an upper tier municipality, so it does not have the ability to establish regional CIPs. The County now has the authority to introduce CIP policies in its Official Plans. Staff Comment: Staff support the proposed changes to the Planning Act to allow Frontenac County to introduce CIP policies in its Official Plan.

Changes to the Reporting of Minister’s Zoning Orders (MZOs)

Changes to the Planning Act and, as necessary, related legislation, to enable Minister’s zoning orders (MZOs) to be made by non-regulatory orders and published on a Government of Ontario website. MZOs are currently approved by the Minister and filed with the Registrar of Regulations as regulations under the Planning Act. The proposed change would remove the opportunity for public comment and expedite the process, thereby enabling the Minister www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2025-167

Page 124 of 157

to make faster decisions aimed at supporting provincial priorities such as supporting longterm care, transit-oriented communities and housing. Staff Comment: MZOs are generally GTA focused, however, removing the opportunity for public comments reduces accountability and transparency of development projects and does not uphold the public interest.

Changes to the Development Charges Act

Bill 60 has introduced further amendments to the Development Charges Act. Watson and Associates, the Township’s development charge consultants have prepared a commentary on the changes and it is included with this report as Attachment A. The changes include introducing a new class of development, “land acquisition class”, enabling municipalities to collect development charges for the acquisition of property. The land costs for various capital projects would be grouped together for the purpose of the calculation. Currently land costs are included in the required level of service calculations for various services being provided. The proposed amendment restricts the anticipated capital costs for land to 10 years with the exception of hard services, including water, wastewater, highways, police and fire. A separate reserve fund is to be created to fund land costs. Municipalities will be required to provide a copy of the Development Charge Background Study and the Development Charge By-law to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on request by the specified deadline. The current Act requires the Treasurer to provide Council with a financial statement on development changes collected and expended each year on date specified by Council. It is proposed that the Treasurer be required to bring forward their report on or before June 30th of the year. The final proposed amendment to the Act will require municipalities to establish local services policies for each service referred to in the Act and for which the By-law imposes a development charge. Staff Comment: The ability for municipalities to collect development charges for the acquisition of property is a positive change. This allows for improved implementation of municipal long range strategic planning initiatives.

Proposed New Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act

Bill 60 introduces a new Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act to permit the Minister to designate a corporation as a water and wastewater public corporation under the Business Corporations Act to provide water and sewage services on behalf of lower-tier municipalities that are prescribed by the regulations. The Act goes on to describe the purpose of the corporation, how water and wastewater services are to be delivered through the corporation, powers and duties of the corporation, board of direction responsibilities, submission of rate plans to the Minister, authority provided to the Minister to approve rate plans, request corporations to amend their rate plans, or refuse to approve the plan, provision of annual reports, etc. If the rate plan is not approved, provision is provided that the rates will be established in accordance with a provincial regulation pertaining to fees and charges. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number: 2025-167

Page 125 of 157

The rationale used by the Minister in introducing this Act is a view that municipal service corporations are more flexible than a municipality in how it uses debt to finance municipal infrastructure. The Minister stated, “Using a municipal service corporation can amortize those costs (water and sewer infrastructure) out over decades—rather than the first-time homebuyer (paying the cost through development charges) …. and it reduces the price of a home. It will reduce reliance on municipal development charges, allowing further reductions in the cost of new homes. It’s a smarter and faster way to fund infrastructure, saving homebuyers money and accelerating the construction of new housing.” It is not clear how the capital planning undertaken by these corporations for water and wastewater works will relate to the background work that municipalities do in establishing development charges. Staff Comment: Staff are concerned that the rationale of introducing a provincially controlled public corporation for water and wastewater differs from the concept of a Municipal Services Corporation (MSC), which is already in place in South Frontenac. MSCs are municipally owned and governed and enable municipal autonomy over water and wastewater services with the advantages of increased debt financing capability for the Township. Staff will continue to monitor this initiative as further information becomes available. Environmental Registry of Ontario Consultations In addition to the above-noted changes to the Planning Act and Development Charges Act, the Province has posted three consultations on the ERO seeking feedback on proposed changes. ERO 025-1101: Consultation on Enhanced Development Standards – Lot Level (outside of buildings) This consultation requests input on the future use of Enhanced Development Standards (“EDS”) at the lot level outside of a building envelope. Sometimes referred to as “green development standards,” EDS are not limited to environmental features and can encompass a broader range of municipal requirements imposed through zoning by-laws, site plan control and development agreements. EDS may include requirements for features such as bioswales, permeable pavement, vegetative elements, native tree planting, soil volume requirements and bicycle parking, among other matters. The specific consultation on the municipal use of EDS requirements follows the Province’s prior confirmation that municipal authorities are not empowered to impose environmental or “green” building standards that exceed the Ontario Building Code. The Province is now consulting on whether to extend this prohibition to lot-level requirements imposed through the Planning Act approval process, citing concerns that EDS vary widely across jurisdictions. ERO 025-1100: Consultation on Minimum Lot Sizes This consultation focuses on minimum lot size requirements imposed upon urban residential lands and their effects on housing options, affordability and homeownership access. The consultation is specific to minimum lot size requirements imposed on lands that have access to municipal water and wastewater services. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

ERO 025-1099: Consultation on Simplifying and Standardizing Official Plans Based on concerns that official plans have become lengthy, complicated and highly restrictive planning documents that take multiple years to prepare and update, are difficult to understand and comply with and vary widely between municipalities, this consultation requests feedback on how official plans could be simplified and standardized. Financial Implications Proposed changes to the Development Charges Act pertaining to the merging of services for the purpose of applying for DC credits may have financial impact to the municipality depending how many applications the Township receives and what services are included.

Proposed Changes to the Development Charge Framework

1.1

Proposed Changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997

The proposed changes to the D.C.A. are presented in Schedule 3 of Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025. The following is a list of the proposed changes, which are discussed in further detail below:

  1. Addition of Class of Service for land acquisition;
  2. Required timelines for the Annual Treasurer’s Statement;
  3. Addition of requirements for Local Service Policies; and
  4. Requirement to provide documents to the Minister. 1.1.1

Addition of Class of Service for Land Acquisition

Background Context In preparing the D.C. calculations as part of a D.C. background study, most services[1] require a Level of Service calculation to be undertaken, as the D.C.A. requires that the increase in need for service must not exceed the historical Level of Service when determining the charge. This requirement is set out in subsection 5 (1) 4 of the D.C.A. and section 4 of Ontario Regulation 82/98. The regulation requires that the Level of Service be calculated by identifying quantity and quality measures of service. These measures have generally been interpreted to reflect the quantity of capital assets used to provide the service and the current replacement value (i.e., quality) of the capital assets. The combination of the measures results in the per capita historical replacement value, which, when applied to the forecast population, provides the total D.C.-eligible amount that can be included in the D.C. calculations for recovery. In determining the replacement value (i.e., quality) of the assets, the scope of capital costs is consistent with the definition in subsection 5 (3) of the D.C.A. The Act defines capital costs to include “costs to acquire land or an interest in land, including a leasehold interest.” Compliance with the D.C.A. requires that the scope of capital costs included in the increase, the need for service, and the historical Level of Service be the same. As such, the historical Level of Service calculations commonly include the value of land. Over the past few years, the development community has raised concerns [1]

All D.C.-eligible services, except water, wastewater, stormwater, and transit services.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

Page 129 of 157

regarding the inclusion of land in the required Level of Service calculations when no future land costs are identified. The increase in the value of land and all other infrastructure has led to an increase in the D.C.-eligible amount that can be included in D.C. calculations. Proposed Changes The legislative proposal is to include land acquisition as a separate class of service.[1] Under this proposal, anticipated land acquisition capital needs would be grouped together for the purposes of the D.C. calculations. Land acquisition capital needs would also be excluded from the historical Level of Service restrictions. In identifying the land acquisition needs by service, the proposal restricts the anticipated capital costs for land to 10 years for all services except for the following: • • • • • • • •

Water; Wastewater; Stormwater; Services related to a highway; Electrical; Transit; Police; and Fire.

As land acquisition will be established as a class of service, municipalities will be required to establish a separate reserve fund for these capital costs. As such, funds would be segregated for this purpose, only to be used for land costs. Similar to other reserve funds, monies in this reserve fund can be borrowed and repaid, with interest. With respect to credits, municipalities will need to ensure that credits for land are accounted for separately from credits for other applicable services. Section 35 of the D.C.A. is amended to add an exception to the use of monies in established reserve funds. This section states that monies in a reserve fund can be used for land acquisition; however, they cannot be used for land acquisition if those costs are to be paid for with the reserve fund established for land acquisition.

Section 7 of the D.C.A. states that a class of service may be established for the purposes of a D.C. by-law that is a combination of D.C.-eligible services or a subset of a D.C.-eligible service. Note, land acquisition related to the Toronto-York and Yonge North Subway Extensions is not required to be a class of service.

Potential Impacts The removal of land from the Level of Service calculations would have varying impacts across municipalities. Where land values are significant, the removal of these amounts from the Level of Service calculations will result in a decrease in the D.C.-eligible amount that may restrict D.C. funding for future capital projects. For example, the removal of land values from the replacement costs of recreation facilities would have the effect of reducing the Level of Service cap on D.C. funding for recreation services. While this may be impactful, this change enables the Level of Service calculations to be more accurately compared to the anticipated increase in need for service and allows land needs to be included without the Level of Service restriction. The restriction on the forecast period for certain services appears to be inconsistent with previous changes to the D.C.A., which removed the 10-year forecast period restriction for all services except Transit.[1] As land purchases are commonly undertaken years before the construction of a facility, there may be some requirements to include a postperiod benefit deduction if the land is required for a facility that will benefit growth outside the 10-year forecast period. Municipalities may consider having different land acquisition calculations for the various forecast periods. For example, one calculation may be undertaken for the 10-year restricted services, whereas one or more calculations may be undertaken for those services with unrestricted forecast periods. With respect to establishing a reserve fund for the land acquisition class of service, there may be some transitional matters to consider when preparing the D.C. background study calculations. For example, where land acquisition has been included in previous D.C. background studies, and reserve fund monies have been allocated and/or committed to land acquisition projects, reserve fund adjustments may be required. As the changes to the D.C.A. state that a class of service for land shall be established (i.e., required to recover land as a separate service), a separate reserve fund is required. Once a municipality undertakes a new D.C. by-law, the capital costs included in the class of service for land acquisition must be funded from the land acquisition reserve fund.

[1]

In 2019, the Province passed Bill 108, which removed the requirement to forecast capital needs over a 10-year period for all services other than water, wastewater, stormwater, services related to a highway, electrical power services, police, fire, and the Toronto-York subway extension, as these services were previously not restricted to a 10-year forecast.

Required timelines for the Annual Treasurer’s Statement

Proposed Changes Currently, the Annual Treasurer’s Statement must be prepared each year by a date determined by Council. Subsection 43 (1) of the Act is amended to require the Treasurer’s Statements to be completed by June 30 of each year. Currently, the Annual Treasurer’s Statement is required to be provided to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing upon request. Subsection 43 (3) of the Act is amended to require a copy of the Treasurer’s Statement to be submitted to the Minister by July 15 of each year. Potential Impacts Municipalities will need to ensure the Annual Treasurer’s Statements are completed by June 30 and submitted to the Minister by July 15. 1.1.3

Addition of Requirements for Local Service Policies

Proposed Changes Currently, subsection 2 (5) of the D.C.A. precludes a D.C. by-law from imposing charges with respect to local services described in section 59 of the D.C.A. Section 59 of the D.C.A. provides a link to the Planning Act, such that, as a condition of subdivision or consent agreement, a municipality may require local services to be installed or paid for by the owner. Local services are considered when preparing a D.C. background study to ensure compliance with the legislative requirements. As such, a Local Service Policy is generally included in our D.C. background studies for transparency to stakeholders and for municipal staff administration. New subsections 59 (2.2) through 59 (2.11) are proposed, which generally set out the following: • •

A Local Service Policy is required for all D.C.-eligible services to which a D.C. bylaw imposes a charge and where some part of the service will be provided as a local service. A Local Service Policy is required to impose a condition of local services on development, and only to the extent it has been identified in the Local Service Policy. That is, a municipality could not require a work or classes of work to be provided as a local service if it is not identified as such in the Local Service Policy. o This does not apply where a municipality does not impose a D.C. for that service.

• •

• •

o This applies the day a municipality establishes the Local Service Policy or 18 months after Bill 60 receives Royal Assent. Required content for a Local Service Policy includes: o Works or classes of works related to development that are intended to be required as a Local Service. Optional content for a Local Service Policy includes: o Works or classes of works that are not intended to be required as a Local Service. o Works or classes of works that are partially required as a Local Service. The municipality shall give a copy of the Local Service Policy to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing upon request, by the date requested. The Local Service Policy must be reviewed, requiring a resolution of Council declaring if a revision is needed. The resolution shall be passed at the time of passing any D.C. by-law or when a revision to the policy is required.

Note, there appears to be an error in the newly proposed subsection 59 (2.5). This subsection refers to subsection 2.8; however, that subsection refers to sending a copy of the Local Service Policy to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It appears the appropriate reference should be subsection 2.7. Potential Impacts At Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson), it is our current practice to include Local Service Policies as part of D.C. background studies. This provides transparency to stakeholders and the municipality by delineating between local service capital costs and D.C.-eligible capital costs. The proposed changes regarding the required and optional content appear to be generally in line with Watson’s current practice. Some municipalities, however, currently include wording in their Local Service Policies that provides flexibility for the municipality’s interpretation of what costs can be deemed local service. The proposed changes aim to provide clarity on which costs would be deemed local service; therefore, municipalities may consider updating their current Local Service Policies to ensure removal of the “flexible” language. Furthermore, municipalities may require more frequent updates to their Local Service Policies as items are raised through the development approvals process that may not be appropriately captured in the Local Service Policy. The proposed subsection 59 (2.2) requires that a Local Service Policy cover the services set out in subsection 2 (4) of the D.C.A. that are included in a D.C. by-law. Land acquisition is a service as defined in this section, as it is proposed to be a subservice of capital costs for eligible services. As such, it would appear that land is required to be addressed in the Local Service Policy. Proposed subsection 59 (2.6) appears to clarify that if a municipality does not impose a D.C. for a particular service, there is no requirement to have that service set out in the

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

PAGE 6

Page 133 of 157

Local Service Policy. This would also appear to apply to municipalities without D.C. bylaws. Municipalities will need to ensure that all D.C. background study processes include a Local Service Policy and that the policy be expressly approved in the resolution of Council when the D.C. background study and by-law are adopted. This would appear to apply to all D.C. background study processes, including those prepared for by-law amendments and streamlined amendments to by-laws that do not require a background study under subsection 19 (1.1). Given there is a transitional deadline of 18 months after this legislation takes effect, municipalities with existing D.C. by-laws that do not have Local Service Policies should consider reviewing and approving a Local Service Policy. Note, if a municipality determines that there is no service in their D.C. by-law for which they will impose local service requirements, it does not appear that the municipality would be required to prepare a Local Service Policy. 1.1.4

Requirement to Provide Documents to the Minister

Proposed Changes Currently, there is no requirement to provide the D.C. background study or by-law to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The proposed changes to section 10 and section 13 of the D.C.A. would require municipalities to provide copies of the documents to the Minister upon request, by the date requested. In addition, there is currently no requirement to provide the Local Service Policy to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. A proposed new subsection 59 (2.8) will require a copy of the Local Service Policy to be provided to the Minister upon request, by the date requested. Potential Impacts There does not appear to be any impact to municipalities, as the D.C. background study is already required to be posted on the municipality’s website, and copies of the by-law and Local Service Policy are typically included within the D.C. background studies. 1.2

Proposed Changes to Ontario Regulation 82/98

In addition to the proposed changes to the D.C.A., the Province has proposed regulatory changes to Ontario Regulation 82/98. These changes are with respect to the following matters:

  1. Merging of credits for water supply services and wastewater services;

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

PAGE 7

Page 134 of 157

  1. Making Benefit to Existing allocations more transparent in D.C. background studies;
  2. Detailing land acquisition costs in D.C. background studies; and
  3. Making information in financial statements relating to D.C.s more transparent and easily accessible. These changes are discussed in more detail below. Note that the draft regulation has not yet been released. Our preliminary comments are based on the summary of the proposed changes provided on the Provincial Regulatory Registry website. 1.2.1

Merging of Credits

Watson has previously provided commentary on the merging of credits.[1] Our commentary included the following potential impacts: Removal of municipal discretion Currently, municipalities have the ability to agree to apply credits to other services within a D.C. by-law. In many cases, the municipality will undertake a cashflow analysis of their D.C. reserve funds to determine if this is feasible. This proposed change appears to remove a municipality’s discretion to combine services by agreement in certain instances. Cashflow implications for municipalities Combining services for the purposes of credits would have cashflow implications for municipalities, where funds held in a D.C. reserve fund for a service not included under the section 38 agreement would be reduced. This could delay the timing of capital projects for these impacted services and/or increase financing costs, as municipalities tend to confine funding for projects to the reserve funds available for that service and not borrow between reserve funds/services. Proposed Changes This proposed change aims to merge water supply services and wastewater services for the purposes of credits. As provided in subsection 2 (4) of the D.C.A., the D.C.-eligible services of water supply and wastewater include distribution and treatment, and sewers and treatment, respectively.

Page 135 of 157

Potential Impacts The proposal is of concern as some municipalities have invested significant amounts into their water and wastewater systems. To elaborate on why this is a concern, in certain circumstances, municipalities have separated their water and wastewater D.C.s into the following categories: • • • •

Water supply and storage; Water distribution; Wastewater treatment; and Wastewater collection.

Where significant investments in water supply and storage or wastewater treatment have been made, separating the D.C.s into the categories above may assist in ensuring D.C. cashflows are available to pay existing debt payments. The proposal to combine water supply and wastewater services would entitle a developer to receive D.C. credits against both services if D.C.-eligible capital costs/works have been provided directly for either service. This would negatively impact cashflows for the service not directly provided by the developer. 1.2.2

Transparency of Benefit to Existing Calculations

Proposed Changes The proposed regulatory changes would require municipalities to provide greater details with respect to how capital costs are determined and how the growth-related and nongrowth-related shares of the costs are determined. The proposed wording appears to require this for each service, rather than on a project-by-project basis. Potential Impacts It is positive that the Province has not established a required methodology, as there is no standardized approach across all municipalities (although there are best practices that are generally followed). Providing further details in the background study will enhance transparency for stakeholders. While this will require additional effort in the preparation of the D.C background study, it should reduce the effort required by municipal staff to address stakeholder questions related to the determination of capital and benefit to existing deductions once the background study is released. Although the proposal suggests that the D.C. background study will require the methodology to be provided by service, there may be situations where a project-by-project determination is required.

1.2.3

Details of Land Acquisition

Proposed Changes It is proposed that land acquisition capital needs shall be treated as a class of service. As such, section 8 of Ontario Regulation 82/98 will be amended to require land acquisition costs to be included in the D.C. background presentation of: • • • • •

The total of the estimated capital costs relating to the service; The allocation of the total of the estimated costs between costs that would benefit new development and costs that would benefit existing development; The total of the estimated capital costs relating to the service that will be incurred during the term of the proposed D.C. by-law; The allocation of the costs incurred during the term of the proposed by-law between costs that would benefit new development and costs that would benefit existing development; and The estimated and actual value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the service.

Potential Impacts See the comments above with respect to the inclusion of land acquisition as a class of service. 1.2.4

Information Accessibility

Proposed Changes The proposed changes increase reporting requirements for the Annual Treasurer’s Statements to include: • • •

The amount from each reserve fund that was committed to a project, but had not been spent, as of the end of the year; The amount of debt that had been issued for a project as of the end of the year; and The location in the D.C. background study where the project’s capital costs were estimated.

This would not apply in circumstances where a municipality uses a unique identifier in both background studies and Treasurer’s Statements to identify each project. Potential Impacts The proposed changes increase transparency for the public and can help demonstrate that D.C. funds are being used as required and to the extent allowable under the D.C.A.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

PAGE 10

Page 137 of 157

These additional requirements will increase administrative effort by municipal staff. Municipalities may wish to provide unique project identifiers as part of the preparation of their next D.C. background study for ease of aligning projects in the D.C. background study with the projects identified in the Annual Treasurer’s Statement.

Concluding Remarks

The proposed changes to the D.C.A. and Ontario Regulation 82/98 are generally positive as they provide additional transparency of the D.C. calculations and how D.C.s are used by municipalities. The changes with respect to including land acquisition as a class of service appear to have a minor impact on municipalities where land values are minimal, with a greater impact on the Level of Service calculations for larger urban municipalities. The requirement for a Local Service Policy and its contents are generally in line with Watson’s current approach; however, updates may be required to existing Local Service Policies to provide more detail on which costs would be local service and which costs would be recovered through D.C.s. Watson continues to have concerns regarding the merging of services for the purposes of credits, as this may impact municipalities that have invested in water supply and/or wastewater treatment costs. We will continue to monitor any changes and inform you of the potential impacts on municipalities.

Bill 68 - Plan to Protect Ontario Act, 2025

Report Number:

2025-168

Summary This report provides a summary of Bill 68, the Plan to Protect Ontario Act, 2025, and its implications to Conservation Authorities with jurisdiction within the Township. Recommendation For information only. Background Bill 68, also know as the Plan to Protect Ontario Act, 2025 received royal assent on November 27, 2025. Part of the bill includes changes to the Conservation Authorities Act, which would merge 36 conservation authorities to 7 regional conservation authorities, and would create a new Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency. Discussion/Analysis On October 31, 2025, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) announced the Province’s intention to create the Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency through forthcoming legislation. The Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency is proposed to be a provincial board-governed agency with the stated purpose of providing centralized leadership, efficient governance, and strategic direction. As part of this announcement, the MECP also indicated that the Province plans to consolidate the existing 36 conservation authorities into 7 regional conservation authorities, which would receive oversight and governance from the single Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency. Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency The objectives of the agency include: • • •

Oversee the governance of authorities and other aspects of authorities such as their operations, including the programs and services they provide. Oversee the transition to a regional watershed-based framework for authorities in Ontario. Promote consistent policies, standards, and fees for programs and services provided by authorities. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Assess and report on the effectiveness of authorities. Oversee and evaluate the financial performance of authorities. Guide and evaluate the strategic planning by authorities to ensure it aligns with provincial objectives. Support the development and implementation of a standardized and centralized system for processing applications for permits issued by authorities. Lead the development and implementation of digital strategies and shared services. Support strategic investment in programs and services provided by authorities. Advise the Government of Ontario in respect of the programs and services authorities provide.

The Minister can issue directions to the Agency. The Agency can issue directions to one or more regional conservation authorities, which authorities must comply with, including but not limited to: • • • • • • • •

Key performance indicators (KPIs), key results and service delivery targets. Service standards. Information Technology. Procurement. Training of members and employees. Budgeting. Asset Management Planning. Strategic Planning (to align with Provincial Interests not local).

Environmental Registry of Ontario On November 7, 2025, Proposal 025-1257 was posted to the Environmental Registry of Ontario and provides further details on the proposed Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency and regional authorities consolidation. The Proposal seeks feedback on the boundaries and criteria for the proposed regional consolidation and is open for public comment until December 22, 2025. The Province published its current draft boundaries and explains in the post that it seeks to maintain and align natural hydrological boundaries; maintain existing relationships between conservation authorities and municipalities; balance expertise and capacity of conservation authorities; and provide service continuity. Conservation Authority Consolidation The province has provided the following reasons why they are proposing to consolidate Conservation Authorities and create a new provincial oversight agency: Patchwork of standards, service delivery: Each Conservation Authority has different policies, customer service standards, fees, processes and staffing and technical capacity leading to unpredictable and inconsistent turnaround times for approvals across all Conservation Authorities. This can result in uncertainty and delays for builders, landowners, and farmers seeking permits. Outdated and fragmented systems: Discrepancies in the tools and technology that Conservation Authorities use have led to varying types and quality of technology and data www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

management. This can compromise effective province-wide flood risk management and evidence-based decision making. Administrative duplication: Under the current framework, municipalities are forced to fund duplicate corporate functions, diverting costs away from frontline conservation and service delivery. Need for more accountability and transparency: Lack of transparent performance monitoring and reporting, and inconsistent customer service standards. Continue to focus on managing natural hazards and watershed health: Proposed changes are intended to strengthen the capacity, influence and impact of Conservation Authorities in providing vital watershed management, in safeguarding people and property from flooding, and in being transparent and accountable in the delivery of permitting, programs, and services to Ontario’s communities. Deliver faster services to municipalities: With better tools and resources, and central enablement and support, CAs can operate with greater consistency and transparency, and deliver improved services to municipalities and permit applicants aligned with provincial priorities on housing, the economy, and resilient infrastructure. St. Lawrence & Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Conservation Authorities The Township of South Frontenac is situated within the headwaters of the jurisdictions of three Conservation Authorities – Cataraqui, Quinte, and Rideau Valley. Cataraqui and Rideau Valley are to be consolidated with 3 other Conservation Authorities to form the St. Lawrence Regional Conservation Authority. The current Conservation Authorities that would make up the proposed St. Lawrence Regional Conservation Authority include: • Cataraqui • Mississippi • South Nation • Raisin • Rideau Valley Quinte Conservation is to be consolidated with 6 other Conservation Authorities to become the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Conservation Authority. The current Conservation Authorities that would make up the proposed Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Conservation Authority include: • Central Lake Ontario • Kawartha Region • Otonobee Region • Ganaraska Region • Lower Trent Region • Crowe Valley • Quinte Region

Figure 1 below illustrates the 7 consolidated regional Conservation Authorities.

Conservation Authority Boards & Local Governance Currently, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has 18 member municipalities, all of whom have at least one seat on its Board of Directors. The proposed St. Lawrence Regional Conservation Authority would have 46 municipalities. It is anticipated that not all municipalities could have a seat on the new Board. Under the current model, seats are allocated based on population which would favour larger urban centres like Ottawa and Kingston while marginalizing the large number of small rural municipalities in Eastern Ontario. Despite their size or how seats are allocated on the new Board, each municipality’s influence would be diluted within a regional Conservation Authority. Regional Boards would also not be responsive to local watershed issues and community concerns. Conservation Authorities provide services on behalf of municipalities and deliver programs to address local watershed needs. These programs and services are at the discretion of the Board Municipalities. The appointed members of the Board of Directors govern Conservation Authorities including budgeting, programs, staffing, policies and strategic planning.

Financials It is unclear at this time how budgets would be developed within regional Conservation Authorities as the levy capacity of municipalities varies from watershed to watershed. Programs vary between Conservation Authorities based on the needs and tax base of each local watershed. Larger municipalities would likely not support levy dollars being spent on programs or capital projects outside the watershed they benefit from or are impacted by. It is the opinion of Conservation Authority staff that it is important that the new regional Conservation Authorities remain independent corporations to ensure that all assets remain under Conservation Authority control and ownership including land holdings, buildings and financial reserves. The province has stipulated that Conservation Authority ownership of land would not change and that no assets would be transferred to the Agency or province as part of the proposed changes.

3rd Quarter 2025 – Building Services Report

Report Number:

2025-165

Summary This report documents the delivery of Building Services within the Development Services Department between July 1st, 2025, to September 30th, 2025. Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background Building Services provides the following as an update report to Council on performance indicators, updated processes, and the quantity of building applications received and processed by the Township. Quarterly construction values from 2022 to 2025 are provided, as well as the amount of building permits issued and files closed. Discussion/Analysis Building Services Q3 was quite busy for Building Services, with July and September standing out as two of the busier months for the department in 2025. Staff have continued to promote pre-consultation meetings for building applications, and these sessions are becoming increasingly popular among applicants. By having our Permit Intake Coordinator and a Building Inspector participate in these meetings, we work to answer questions and to ensure applicants are fully informed about next steps. When necessary, we also include Planning staff to provide all the pertinent information to the applicant for their project. This collaborative approach often leads to a more streamlined process, ultimately saving time for both the applicant and Development Services staff. Given that Q3 is a busier time for staff, the team focused on in-house training with quick check-ins and consistent regular meetings to maintain open dialogue and discussion regarding current projects, ensuring consistency and support for staff. Looking ahead, staff will continue to engage in courses and workshops focused on Ministry qualifications and technical training starting again in Q4. At the end of Q3, staff prepared for the move back to the George Street Office, and they did a great job packing up our temporary office while continuing to assist the public with their applications and permits. South Frontenac Building Permits Issued & Other Approved Files The following two tables show the breakdown of permits issued by permit type for the 3rd quarter of 2025. They also provide comparisons with the same quarters from previous years. Additionally, the tables include a breakdown of other Part 8 Services and other files approved by Building Services. It’s important to note that the review process of Part 8(sewage systems) for planning applications have been redefined to focus more on complexed applications. This includes planning applications such as very small lots, congested lots with multiple structures, multi-residential/commercial/industrial sites under 10,000 L/day, plans of condo/subdivision. These changes allow our Inspectors to focus on essential applications and streamline reviews, enabling staff to prioritize other tasks. The changes are seen in the table below.

Building Application Intake In Q3, Building Services received a total of 198 files, both in person and via email. Initially, 108 of these files were deemed incomplete because the required documentation was either missing or insufficient at the time of submission. Of those 108 incomplete files, 75% progressed to the next step of the process within Q3 after the Permit Intake Coordinator received the necessary documentation, allowing the files to be considered adequate for zoning and building review. To note, all building application packages include a checklist to assist the applicant with the required documentation that is to be submitted. Building Code Review Once permit applications have all the required documentation, the file is moved to Planning Services for review and approval for zoning compliance. When approved, the Planning Coordinator gives the application to the assigned Inspector to start their Building Code review. In Q3, 228 building and sewage applications were reviewed and commented on, and 27% were re-reviewed. Often when staff are reviewing building applications, the required documentation provided lacks the necessary information to complete a full Building Code review. This triggers the request for additional information or clarification for our Building Inspectors to be able to complete their review. Once the building code review is complete, the permit is ready for issuance. After the associated fees are paid, the permit is then issued. Due to the number of re-reviews that are required for the building and sewage applications, difficult applications may be pending until all necessary documentation is received. It is important to note that when examining the numbers in the table above, the number of files received may not correspond directly to the files issued within each quarter. Issued permits can include applications from previous periods, often due to delays in receiving the necessary documentation for approval, which determines when a file is deemed ready for issuance. Inspections & Site Visits Our inspectors have been quite active with inspections and site visits during the 3rd quarter. These tasks constitute a significant part of their daily schedule. In Q3, 17% of inspections were not compliant and required re-inspection. In the 3rd quarter, we completed 35 inspections on permits issued before 2022 and 114 inspections on permits issued in 2022 and 2023. These inspections make up about 20% of all inspections completed during this time. Closed Building Files Closing both recent building permit files and historical files remains a priority within our department. We receive numerous requests from homeowners who are in the process of selling properties with open historical permits. Inspections on these older files have continued throughout the third quarter. These inspections significantly increase the workload for inspectors, as they often have to review files that may lack essential documentation, navigate older regulations, and inspect items that have been in use for several years.

In Q3, our team successfully closed 130 permits, with 30% of those being permits that were issued prior to 2024. Building Without Permits & Complaints Staff have adopted a more hands-on approach to managing and following up on building without permit (BWP) files. In Q3, staff opened 15 BWP files, with 11 of them resolved by permits being issued. The team works with applicants to ensure that building applications are received with the relevant information to review under the Ontario Building Code and the Zoning By-law. We provide options for the applicants to have a pre-consultation meeting with both Building and Planning to achieve compliance in a quick and efficient manner. BWP Investigation files and complaints come from various sources, including mail, email, or illegal constructions identified by inspectors or planners during site visits and inspections. The public can submit complaints through an online form on our website, and written complaints are also accepted; however, complainants must provide their name and contact information for legitimacy. That said, all complainants remain anonymous. Financial Implications Building Fees and Part 8 Fees In Q3, the total revenue collected from all issued building permits in South Frontenac was $247,240 of which $40,098 was attributed to Part 8 services revenue.

Notice of Motion

a)

Moved by Councillor Turcotte Seconded by That Council direct staff to prepare and submit a formal letter of objection to the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, expressing our profound concern that the “Strong Mayor” model, the proposed

Page 2 of 4

Page 155 of 157 Minutes of Council December, 2, 2025 consolidation of Conservation Authorities, and the municipal planning implications of Bill 60, the Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, represent a systematic erosion of municipal democratic agency and local environmental oversight, and further, that this letter be shared with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), our local Conservation Authorities and all neighbouring municipalities. b)

Moved by Councillor Ruttan Seconded by Whereas the Conservation Authorities Act (1946) established Conservation Authorities (CAs) as local, watershed-based bodies to manage natural resources in partnership with municipalities; Whereas Conservation Authorities are governed by Boards of Directors comprised of municipally elected officials or appointees, ensuring direct accountability to the local tax base; Whereas the current funding model relies heavily on municipal levies and selfgenerated revenue, with the Province of Ontario contributing approximately 5% or less to operating budgets (e.g., Cataraqui Conservation receives ~48% from municipalities and only ~5% from the Province); Whereas the Province of Ontario has introduced Schedule 3 of Bill 68 and Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) posting 025-1257, which proposes to amalgamate Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into seven (7) centralized regional entities governed by a new “Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency”; Whereas this forced amalgamation threatens to dilute local decision-making, sever the critical link between local property taxes and local service delivery, and ignore the unique hydrological and environmental differences between our distinct watersheds; Therefore be it resolved that the Council of South Frontenac Township formally opposes the proposed amalgamation of Conservation Authorities as outlined in ERO 025-1257; And further that Council calls upon the Province of Ontario to:

  1. Pause the implementation of Bill 68, Schedule 3;
  2. Maintain the current watershed-based governance model that ensures local accountability; and
  3. Engage in meaningful consultation with municipalities to address specific concerns regarding efficiency without dismantling local governance; And further that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, our local MPP John Jordan, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and all Conservation Authorities within our region.

c)

Moved by Councillor Leonard Seconded by That Council request the Bank of Montreal to reconsider the proposed closure of the Verona BMO Branch due to the anticipated growth to occur in Verona in the near future (Verona Housing Project, McMullen Manor); and
