Briefing Outline • Aim of Briefing • Background • Current system versus new proposal • Improvement • Summary Page 5 of 146

Aim of the Briefing To urge the council of the Township of South Frontenac (SF) to continue the current user-pay focus for solid waste management

Page 6 of 146

Background • Waste Management Plan Study (Totten Sims Hubicki Associates 2007) • Waste Recycling Strategy (The Emerald Group 2011)

Criteria

Page 7 of 146

• Environmentally Sound • Compliant with Regulations • Feasible and Easy to Implement • Cost Effective and Affordable

Study Recommendations

Page 8 of 146

User Fees 13.1 – The Township of South Frontenac should continue to require bag tags on all garbage bags, the Township should move towards a standard bag tag that can be used by all residents. (done) 13.2 – The Township should consider changes to its bag tag system with the objective to encourage more recycling and diversion. Consideration should be given to full user pay. Funding 14.1 – The Township should consider changes to its funding model to assign a larger portion of costs to users, via user fees. This will help to keep property tax rates down, while at the same time encouraging diversion

Waste management by law 2005-0098

“AND WHEREAS the Council of The Corporation of the Township of South Frontenac deems it desirable to collect revenues for waste management services in an equitable fashion based on use rather than through the imposition of special rates or an increase in municipal taxes;” Page 9 of 146

Current System

Page 10 of 146

• 50 bag tags are allocated per dwelling unit at an annual waste management charge of $120 per residential or seasonal dwelling unit and commercial facility. • if there are 2 separate livable spaces (such as a residence (house) with an apartment over a garage, multi residential, then $240, $360 etc • cross reference the MPAC and SF data bases to query the range of property codes that fit the criteria for dwellings/livable spaces to identify the waste charge per dwelling.

New Proposal • Paying for garbage based on property assessment, not use. • All properties, rather than dwellings, would pay for garbage/recycling collection whether they produce garbage or not–even vacant properties • Directly related to the assessed value of the property, not the garbage that is produced • System is easier to calculate and results in the same (possibly more) total revenue for the township as the current user pay system Page 11 of 146

Advantages of Current System

Page 12 of 146

• Only those that produce garbage pay. • When individuals have to pay directly for their garbage disposal, they will reduce the amount they throw out. • They will recycle more. • The current strategy provides strong encouragement to reduce. • Almost all of the other communities in Ontario follow this strategy. • It is listed as one of the “best practices”. • SF strategy is very good: sophisticated, visible, transparent and equitable. • SF has made significant strides in reduction. It has aided in our goal of diverting 50% of our waste stream from landfill. • It is compliant with the by law.

Food for Thought • $120 waste management charge is a ‘package deal’. Residents try to stay within their 50 tag allotment. • Some municipalities have taken it one step further to encourage residents to reduce even more. • Rather than a package deal, you pay per bag. Some of our residents don’t use all of their tags. One could say they are entitled to a rebate. Or you could say buy the tags you need.

Page 13 of 146

Improvement • confirmation of the accuracy of the $120 waste management charge. • cover both the cost of curb side collection of garbage and recycling • breakdown the net cost (Revenues/Expenses) of the individual garbage/recycling operations Page 14 of 146

Summary • It’s all about reducing our solid waste stream • ‘stay the course’ • principle of user pay is sound and is followed by most municipalities • verify the accuracy of our waste management fee Page 15 of 146

Final Note • The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada defines municipal solid waste as ‘recyclables and compostable materials, as well as garbage from homes, businesses, institutions, and construction and demolition sites’. • Revisit the term “sanitation’ Page 16 of 146

STAFF REPORT PUBLIC MEETING Township of South Frontenac Prepared for Council

Planning Department

Agenda Date: January 17, 2017 Date of Report: January 12, 2017 Subject: Closing of Road Allowance in, Part of Lot 19, Between Concessions V and VI, Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac: Mundell

Summary of the Recommendation: The recommendation is that Council hear public comments on a proposal to close and sell a portion of unopened road allowance to an abutting propertyowner at Sydenham Road in the District of Loughborough.

Purpose of the Report: The purpose of this report is to bring to Council an application for a road closure and transfer of ownership to an abutting property-owner and to hold a public meeting on the proposal as required under the Municipal Act. This report includes a location attachment and maps illustrating the portion of road allowance to be closed and a resulting building envelope.

Background & Discussion: Jack Mundell has requested to know whether Council would agree to the closure and sale of a portion of unopened road allowance that runs north and south beside his lot at Sydenham Road. He explains that the addition of this land to his long and narrow property would give him enough property depth to accommodate a building/dwelling and meet all the required minimum setbacks of the zoning by-law. Attachment #1 shows the location of the owner’s property. Attachment #2 is an air photo showing the owner’s property and the portion of unopened road allowance requested to be closed. The subject portion of road allowance is approximately 420 metres (1,378 ft.) long and is 2.18 acres in size. The land is heavily treed and both the road allowance and the Mundell property are vacant. As indicated by the contour lines on the attachment, the land slopes steeply down towards Sydenham Road. It appears that this is the reason Sydenham Road was forced to the east of the original road allowance where road construction is more easily accommodated. Ultimately, it does not seem reasonable that this portion of road allowance would ever be required by the Township for use as a public road. The request originally came before the Committee of the Whole on November 19, 2015 where concerns were expressed regarding safe access onto Sydenham Road and whether a building envelope really existed considering the steepness and narrowness of the property. Following meetings and site checks by the Public Works Manager and Planning, these concerns have now been addressed. Safe access can be accommodated at the south end of the road allowance and a building envelope of 1.24 acres can be achieved – see Attachment #3. On

Page 18 of 146

August 2, 2016 the Committee gave approval in principle to the closure and sale of the road allowance at a price of $20,023.00.

Conclusion Sydenham Road has been routed around the steep rocky portion of land where the unopened road allowance is aligned. Thus, the Township would have no interest in retaining the former road allowance – the Public Works Manager agrees with this conclusion. For Council’s information, the owner has not yet undertaken a survey to identify the portion of road allowance to be sold and transferred and consequently, no bylaw can be passed at this time. Once the surveyed R-Plan is received the matter will be brought back for Council’s decision.

Recommendation Council should hear anyone who wishes to speak at this public meeting on the closing and transfer of the road allowance. Submitted/Approved by: Lindsay Mills attachments RoadClosureReportMundell4

PLANNING REPORT PUBLIC MEETING Township of South Frontenac Prepared for Council

Planning Department

Agenda Date: January 17, 2017 Date of Report: January 11, 2017

File: RC-16/07

Subject: Closure and Transfer of Ownership of Road Allowance in Part of Lot 25, Concession VII, Loughborough District, Township of South Frontenac: Spencer

Summary of the Recommendation: The recommendation is that Council hear public comments on a proposal to close and transfer ownership of a portion of unopened road allowance to an abutting property-owner in the District of Loughborough.

Purpose of the Report: The purpose of this report is to bring to Council an application for a road closure and transfer of ownership to an abutting property-owner and to hold a public meeting on the proposal as required under the Municipal Act. This report includes a location attachment and a map illustrating the portion of road allowance to be closed.

Background & Discussion: Property-owners James and Keitha Spencer have requested to know whether Council would agree to the closure and transfer of ownership of a portion of unopened road allowance that runs diagonally through their property at Leland Road. Attachment #1 is a copy of their letter requesting the closure and Attachment #2 shows the location of the owners’ property and the portion of road allowance requested to be closed. The request came to the Council on August 2, 2017 where members appeared to have no objection to the closure in principle. Based on this approval, this public meeting was advertised in a local newspaper for at least four weeks prior to the meeting. As described in their letter, in the early 80’s and without consultation, Leland Road was re-routed through their property at 308 Leland Road. Apparently the Spencers were promised compensation for the property taken from them to realign the road, however, this compensation never actually occurred. They are requesting that:

The property now occupied by the travelled road be transferred to the Township
The title to the abandoned road allowance be transferred to them.

Discussion: Attachment #2 indicates how the road allowance effectively cuts the owners’ land into two parts. Their northern section is developed on its east end with a dwelling garage and outbuildings. It is 6.1 hectares (15 ac.) in size but it includes the area

Page 23 of 146

taken up by the travelled road. The southern portion is 0.8 hectares (2 ac.) in size and is vacant. Attachment #3 is an air photo showing the developed area and illustrating how the travelled portion of road was diverted off of the Townshipowned road allowance seemingly to avoid creating a sharp 90 degree turn in the road. Note that remnants of the original road are still visible on the photo. As noted in the owners’ letter, when the Leland Road was re-routed in the early 1980’s, the remnant piece of former road was to be conveyed to the Spencers. Council minutes from March 2, 1981 indicate that the Spencers were in fact involved in discussion relating to the reconstruction of Leland Road but no more specifics are provided. Based on this, the Committee of the Whole agreed on August 2, 2016, that there can be no doubt that the road was diverted off of the road allowance as claimed and that it is reasonable that this former Township land should be transferred to the Spencers especially since the Township has now claimed the Spencers’ land on which the travelled portion of the road now exists. The Committee agreed that the transfer should be approved and at no cost to the Spencers.

Conclusion The attachments indicate that the actual travelled portion of the road is now located off the original road allowance further to the north. Logically, the Township would have no interest in retaining the former road allowance. For Council’s information, the By-law to close and transfer the road allowance cannot be passed at this time because the survey (R-Plan) to identify the subject road allowance has not yet been completed. The surveyor has advised that the plan will be finalized before the end of January. Once it is received by the Township, the matter will be brought back for Council’s decision.

ATTACHMENT #1 Mr. Lindsay Mills

Planner South Frontenac Township

?: Request for transfer of title?of unused road allowance at NE corner of lot 25 conc. 7Loughboro district, South Frontenac twp. to James and Keitha Spencer.

At some time in the late nineteen seventies or early eighties, without consultation with, or notification of the !aridowners, Leland road was rercuted through lot 25 conc.7(property identified as 308 Lelar,d road 13R694) To eliminate a dangerous curve. When we found out about the project, work had already started. We contacted the road supervisor for Loughboro Township Mr.’ Lyle Abrams and were told that in compensation for the property taken up by the reconstructed road we would be given title to the now abandoned portion of road allowance. Since l was in the armed forces at the time and seldom at home l did riot check to see that the title was in fact transferred. In 20161 checked on the title and found that the proi’nised transfer had never taken place. The result is that Loughboro Township and later South Frontenac Township has for approximately forty years used and continues to use property belonging to us as a public roadway.

We the owners of the above property request that:

The property now occupied by the road be transferred to the township.
The tit!e to the abandoned roadway be transferred to us. anl

Delegations

Adam Rayner, re: Gun Range on Buck Bay Rd Mr. Rayner expressed his concern about a neighbouring property having a gun range on the property that is about 40 feet from his property line. The gun range is approved by the Chief Firearms Officer and they claim that the range is in compliance with the Firearms Act and Regulations and the safety requirements and that there is not a process in place for Mr. Rayner to challenge a decision made under this Act. He is concerned about the proximity of the range to his property and the safety of his own property and family. Since the gun range is not for commercial use, there is nothing in the Township’s Zoning By-law to regulate the use. Council directed staff to look into obtaining further information from the Chief Firearms Officer about setbacks from lot lines etc.

Beverly Green, re: Concerns with taxation and sanitation charge Mrs. Green was unable to attend the meeting.

Curtis Tighe, Economic Development & Business Coordinator Municipal of Highlands East re: First Impressions Community Exchange Presentation

Page 28 of 146 Committee of the Whole December 13, 2016 Katie Nolan from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing introduced the criteria for the “First Impressions” exchange and how it helps to reinforce and validate existing ideas that may already be in place. Curtis Tighe, Economic Development Business Coordinator for the Municipality of Highlands East, reviewed with Council the first impressions of the hamlets of Harrowsmith, Sydenham and Verona that included signage, services, schools, heath, social and emergency services, culture and heritage, tourism and environmental sustainability. He outlined the five biggest challenges facing South Frontenac which included the proximity and dependence on Kingston, lack of accommodators, lack of industry, unity of township to support other towns and attracting youth and young families. Council expressed their appreciation for the time and effort put into the process and the presentation that outlined concerns that the township is in the middle of addressing. 7.

Reports Requiring Action

Wayne Orr, Chief Administrative Officer, re: Selection of Council members for Committee Appointments It was suggested that this matter be deferred until the possibility of Councillor vacancy is addressed. Council did agree to the composition of the Committee of Adjustment for 2017 as being Councillor Revill, Councillor Sutherland, Councillor McDougall and Councillor Sleeth.

Louise Fragnito, Treasurer, re: Asset Management Plan Louise Fragnito and David Holliday reviewed their report on the updates to the Asset Management Plan and compared the first AMP developed in 2013 with the 2016 version. They outlined the challenges and differences between the two noting that the next version will better match the processes currently being used by fully incorporating the data and processes within Cartegraph as well as using the long range financial plan as the driver to present a financing strategy.

Agenda Date:

January 17, 2017

SUBJECT: Letter of Support for North Frontenac Community Services RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council direct the CAO to send a letter to North Frontenac Community Services in support of their Great Canadian Sports grant application. BACKGROUND: North Frontenac Community Services is applying for a grant through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund. The Great Canadian Sports grant will focus the next two years on traditional and rural sports, playing them both the way they originated and the current style of play. The activities will be occurring at Prince Charles Public School in Verona and at some of our existing special events and our Township summer camps. As part of the grant application NFCS is looking for a letter of support from South Frontenac indicating that we are a partner and that this program is important in engaging and supporting our rural youth in physical activities.

Detailed description People choose to live in rural communities for different reasons. It is a lifestyle choice that has many benefits, especially the enjoyment that the rural environment provides. However, the rural environment is a disadvantage for our youth who want to access organized sports to stay physically active. With a large geographic area (3,150 km sq) families live in isolation from the amenities that a city offers through sport leagues and youth recreation programs. The commute to the city can be more than an hour’s drive, even if the family actually owns a vehicle. Few job opportunities in this area creates economic challenges so that even if the youth were able to travel to the city, few could afford the sports activities. The Great Canadian Sports Project is a 24 month sports based program that will operate from April 2017 - March 31 2018. It will reach 250 rural youth ages 6 to 13 years of age. The area we cover is geographically vast and economically poor. There are barriers of transportation and ability to pay for sports programs so the project will be facilitated in the different communities where the youth live. There are five weekly afterschool sites that are already located in North, Central and South Townships in the County of Frontenac. The following existing sites will be enhanced with this funding to receive the programming: Clarendon Central Public School; Land o Lakes Public School; St. James Major Catholic School; Prince Charles Public School; The Child Centre. This project will allow the addition of a full time Youth Sports Programmer who will plan and attend each site weekly to facilitate the skill based games and sports and evaluate the program. Each weekly sport session will be 1.5 hr. The curriculum will be divided into seasonal themes and the activities will be decided with the youth at focus groups prior to the program. The youth will be exposed to new physical activities that reflect both our rural environment and cultural interests. A main source of ideas will be used from the guide Shooting Hoops and Skating Loops: Great Inventions in Sports by A. Hegedus and K. Rainey. Ms. Rainey lived and worked for years in the Sharbot Lake area and the sports ideas were created with considerable influence of both traditional, cultural and community interests of the rural youth. The youth will experience participating in the sport as it was played originally and through the evolution of the sport as it is played in modern times. In addition, there will be a total of 16 special community events in partnership with the Townships of North, Central and South Frontenac including 4 community events with Shabot-Obaadjwan First Nation. These events will allow for a broader reach of youth beyond those who attend the afterschool programs. They will also be family themed events so the sport activities can be enjoyed by the whole family and there can be role modelling by parents to be physically active. During the months of July and August of each year of the grant, when the afterschool programs are closed, the Youth Sports Programmer will enhance local summer day camps with seasonal sporting activities. A lifeguard will be hired for this portion of the project. The project will require purchasing sporting equipment. We currently own lacrosse sticks and snow shoes already but will need additional equipment once the youth have narrowed down their preferred activities. The Youth Sports Programmer will also be tasked to create safety protocols for each individual sport in addition to our concussion policy which is currently posted on our web site. At the end of the project, the equipment that we have purchased will be added to our snow shoe lending library to ensure that there is continued impact on the youth in our community.

Project Objectives Objective One Youth in North, Central and South Frontenac have had increased opportunities to access and participate in physical activities using different sports inventions at 5 community sites facilitated by a Youth Sports Programmer.

Page 39 of 146

Objective Two Youth and their families from North, Central and South Frontenac have experienced new experiences to be physically active together through 16 community events in North, Central and South Frontenac Townships. Objective Three The youth participants have gained the knowledge and confidence to safely play new sports activities in their rural environment. Need All children in Ontario need more daily physical activity. Rural youth are at an even greater risk. Youth are bused to/from school. They go home with no ability to participate with their peers in activities. Many families cannot afford to maintain a vehicle. There are no buses or taxis. To mitigate these issues, we need to operate our weekly outreach sites in each community. We also have volunteer drivers ensure the youth have rides home when needed. We have recently completed a youth indigenous sports program grant. Our evaluation measures suggest that the youth are eager to participate in further organized sports activities, especially outdoors. We are part of the Northern Rural Youth Partnership, a committee of rural youth agencies We coordinate so there is no duplication in service delivery. They identify this need as well as our local band, Shabot-Obaadijwan who want to see their youth be active in their own community. This need is identified by three local townships. None of us have the resources alone to adequately provide the activities, but together, we can make a difference.

STAFF REPORT TREASURY DEPARTMENT Prepared for Council:

January 12, 2017

Agenda Date:

January 17, 2017

SUBJECT: 2017 Budget RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve Budget Option #____ as the Capital and Operating budget for 2017 and direct staff to implement such budgets. BACKGROUND: At the December 20th, Council meeting, the 2017 budget recommendation was defeated. During the debate, two handouts were provided and have been included as attachments to this report. Attachment #1 provides the distribution of residential properties based on assessment ranges. 70% of residential properties are within the $0 to $300,000 assessment value. Attachment #2 compared three options: removing the Solid Waste charge, keeping the Solid Waste charge of $120 and increasing the Solid Waste charge to $140. The summary provides the impact on the budget including the amount to be raised by taxation but also incorporates the taxpayer impact under each scenario. • •

•

No Solid Waste charge: This is the current version used in the budget Keep Solid Waste charge: Re-incorporating the Solid Waste Charge generates 1.285 million in revenue. However, in order to keep the taxpayer impact to 2.2%, expense reductions of $186,139 would be required and the investment in the AIR would be reduced by $14,714. This is driven from the impact of the fixed rate solid waste charge compared to the taxpayer’s overall tax bill. Increase Solid Waste charge: Increasing the Solid Waste charge to $140 would generate 1.499 million in revenue. However, in order to keep the taxpayer impact to 2.2%, expense reductions of $216,832 would be required and the investment in the AIR would be reduced by $17,163. This is driven from the impact of the fixed rate solid waste charge compared to the taxpayer’s overall tax bill.

New information is displayed in Attachment #3 and it compares the tax impact within various assessments having the fixed rate solid waste charge on the tax bill versus its removal. The bar graph portion represents property taxes plus the fixed $120 solid waste charge. The line graph depicts the proposed taxation without the solid waste charge. Under the various assessments, the variance of the scenarios is presented. For example, for someone with $100,000 in assessment, their tax bill would be $72 lower using the scenario with no solid waste charge. At the average phase-in assessment of 251,402, there is no difference between the two scenarios. On a property assessed at $500,000 the tax bill would be $119 higher. Only 6% of properties will see a tax bill greater than $119 References have been made to a by-law which controls the solid waste charge. Although by-law 2005-98 does provide the system for the distribution of bag tags

STAFF REPORT TREASURY DEPARTMENT and solid waste collection, it does not set the solid waste charge. This has been done as part of the budget approval. Options: In considering the input from Council’s prior discussions, four options are being presented. Option 1 – Reduce taxpayer impact to 2% To bring the taxpayer impact to 2%, an adjustment of $37,822 would be required to the budget. This could be adjusted from the transfer to Working Funds reducing it from $47,042 to $9,220. The solid waste charge would continue to be rolled into the levy. This option would represent a 2% or $29.37 taxpayer impact based on the average phased-in residential property. This option represents $27,955,880 in reserve transfers, operating and capital expenditures and results in a total amount to be raised from taxation of $18,586,507. Option 2 – Inclusion of other project Other projects could be included in the current budget such as sign reflectivity. Funds could be adjusted from the transfer to Working funds up to an amount of $47,042 and allocated to the project. The solid waste charge would continue to be rolled into the levy. This option would represent a 2.20% or $32.41 impact on the average phased-in residential property. This option represents $27,994,080 in reserve transfers, operating and capital expenditures and results in a total amount to be raised from taxation of $18,624,708. Option 3 – Reinstate the Solid Waste Charge The current budget version removes the fixed solid waste charge of $120 and converts it to a rate based charge. Reinstating the fixed rate solid waste charge of $120, requires expense reductions of $186,139 (to be found from tax supported budget lines and confirmed by Council) and results in the investment in the AIR being reduced by $14,714. This option would keep 2.20% or $32.41 impact on the average phased-in residential property. This option represents $27,793,227 in reserve transfers, operating and capital expenditures and results in a total amount to be raised from taxation of $17,138,534. Option 4 – Bring back the budget as presented on December 20th The budget presented on December 20th included an allocation of $47,042 to the Working Fund reserve which represents the remaining balance on the unallocated budget figure to align with Council’s direction. The solid waste charge would continue to be rolled into the levy. This option would keep 2.20% or $32.41 impact on the average phased-in residential property.

Page 42 of 146

STAFF REPORT TREASURY DEPARTMENT This option represents $27,994,080 in reserve transfers, operating and capital expenditures and results in a total amount to be raised from taxation of $18,624,708. To proceed with Option 4, a Notice of Motion would need to be served, by a member of Council on the prevailing side of the vote, to bring the decision back for reconsideration. A 2/3 majority would be required to support reconsideration before the matter could be voted upon. Council has the discretion to waive the Procedural Bylaw to expedite this process.

SUBJECT: Tax Sale Services RFP RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the CAO to enter into an agreement with Realtax Inc. for a three year contract, with up to two, one year extensions for Municipal Tax Sale Services. BACKGROUND: Part XI of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, as amended (Municipal Act) sets out the framework of the “Sale of Land for Tax Arrears”. The Municipal Act gives municipalities the authority to sell properties if they are three or more years in arrears of their property taxes. The tax sale function requires an in-depth knowledge of Section XI of the Municipal Act. It is critical that all procedures are done correctly and that timelines are met. All expenses and costs relating to the tax sale provisions of the Municipal Act under Part XI –Sale of Land for Tax Arrears are eligible to be added to the tax roll for a property that is subject to the tax sale provisions. ANALYSIS: An RFP was issued on December 1st to solicit interest from organizations providing Tax Sale services. The RFP closed on December 20th and 2 proposals were received. The proposals were reviewed and evaluated by the Treasurer and Deputy-Treasurer. Company Realtax Inc. Tax Team

Out of 90 89 68

Part of the evaluation and scoring included pricing. Pricing was compared on various existing tax sale files going through the entire process and Realtax fees were lower consistently. The Township has been using Realtax for the last 6 years and has been very satisfied with their services and professionalism. It is recommended that the submission from Realtax Inc. be selected.

SUBJECT: Filling of Vacant Office RECOMMENDATION: That Council consider appointing an individual to the role of Councillor by passing By law # 2017-01 a bylaw to appoint an Councillor. BACKGROUND: On December 20, 2016 Council declared the seat held by Councillor Robinson vacant. In accordance with the Municipal Act, within 60 days of declaring a seat to be vacant a municipality shall either appoint a person to fill the vacancy in accordance with section 263(5)1.i. or pass a by law requiring a by–election in accordance with section 263(5)1.ii. If Council chooses to appoint a person by By-law, the individual must consent to accept the office and must meet the eligibility requirements under the Municipal Elections Act and the Municipal Act (i.e. they must reside in the Township or own land or be a tenant or the spouse of such, be 18 years of age, a Canadian Citizen, not an employee, not a judge, MPP, MP or Senator, not in jail, not an executor or trustee or acting for a voter and only hold one office). There are no other guidelines on the appointment process under the Act. Council may choose any method of selecting an appointee including: • A candidate who ran in the previous election but was not elected • A former politician or prominent citizen • An individual nominated by a Councillor, citizen or community group • A random selection of consenting individuals with the name pulled from a hat • Someone recruited by advertisement and screened by Council or • any other method selected by Council Alternatively Council could choose to pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy. A by-election would be carried out under the rules of the Municipal Elections Act and would take upwards of 17 weeks to conduct and incur costs to run such an election. Such unbudgeted costs could be covered by the election reserve, however this would result in a greater contribution needed in subsequent years. In 2013 Council declared a seat vacant as a result of a resignation. The Council of the day choose to appoint the next candidate from the ward with the most votes from the last election. This decision does not bind the current Council in the method to be selected now. From numerous individual conversations it appears that Council is leaning towards appointing an individual. Should this be the will of Council then an Appointment Bylaw will need to be passed. Alternatively Council can provide alternant direction to staff. Submitted by: Wayne Orr, CAO

SUBJECT: 2018 Municipal Elections RECOMMENDATION: Whereas Council is supportive of proceeding with the exclusive use of internet and telephone voting for the 2018, Therefore staff are directed to initiate an RFP for telephone and internet voting service providers for the 2018 municipal elections. BACKGROUND: The Elections Act allows a municipality to conduct an election by an alternate method. • In 2003, the Township conducted the election exclusively by mail, with a turn out rate of 54.8%. • In 2006 the Township switched exclusively to internet and telephone voting and participation was 43.2%. • In 2010 the Township continued with internet and telephone voting. Participation was at 44.1% • In 2014 the Township continued with internet and telephone voting. Participation was at 37.1% however it is worth noting that four Council seats were acclaimed For the past three elections it was generally found that voters in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s had participation rates at a level beyond our average participation rate, while voters in the following groups, 18-19, 20s, 30s and 90s had the lower participation rates. Of those voting in 2014, 74.1% voted on the web. Telephone voting was the preferred only by those in their 90s. The choice of voting method is not the only factor that contributes to voter turnout. Other factors that influence the participation level are the issues, the number of candidates acclaimed, the intensity of the race between candidates, the effectiveness of campaigning and media coverage. The same service provider was used for both the 2006 and 2010 elections. For the 2014 election an RFP was issued and Council awarded the contract to Intelivote Services the firm with which the Township has used the previous two elections. Subsequent to the RFP further savings were achieved by pooling our contracts with the other three Frontenac Municipalities. At this time, the three other municipalities have expressed interest in participating in a joint tender for election services. Only if Council is supportive of continuing with internet and telephone voting then is it wise for staff to invest the time in developing the joint RFP for this service. A final decision on telephone and internet voting will need to be made by Council by Bylaw by May 1, 2017. Submitted/approved by: Wayne Orr, CAO

Road Closing Fee In discussing this topic the Committee expressed many views and perspectives: Is it the distance from the water or do we consider the issue when it is addition to a waterfront lot? Overarching policy should be we won’t sell public land, only in rare circumstances. Does cleaning up a situation warrant more flexibility? If they ask to purchase then they want it for some reason, there is a perceived value. Why should there be flexibility when there is value in it? The set value should apply when someone wants it. The only decision for Council should be, is it in the public interest to sell? The price should be the price. Even not for profit groups know there is value for them. B.

INFORMATION REPORT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR COUNCIL:

January 4, 2017

AGENDA DATE:

January 17, 2017

SUBJECT: Signage Retro-Reflectivity ORIGIN: Public Services Committee ANALYSIS: The issue of signage retro-reflectivity has been raised at the Public Services Committee. Staff have indicated that we have been on a program of replacing signage on certain roads since 2013. The signs that have been replaced meet the current standards for retro-reflectivity. Roads completed so far include Opinicon, Road 38, Sydenham, Bedford, Desert Lake, Moreland-Dixon, Perth and Battersea. It is proposed that Bellrock, Harrowsmith, Westport, Wilton and Yarker Roads will be completed in 2017. The Public Works Managers of Frontenac County will be meeting again in January 2017. One of the topics on the agenda is the concept of a County wide Traffic Signage Retro-Reflectivity Inspection and Management System. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS: The budget for replacement signage has been increased incrementally from $40,000 in 2012 to $62,000 in 2016.

Submitted/approved by: Mark Segsworth, P. Eng. Public Works Manager

January 5, 2017

AGENDA DATE:

January 17, 2017

SUBJECT: Winter Control ANALYSIS: Township staff and contractors have continued to be busy over the holidays engaged in the ironically named activity known as “Winter Control”. Attached to this report are the monthly weather records so far this winter. We have had too many freeze/thaw cycles. Not only will this take a toll on our roads but we have had to use an inordinate amount of material to maintain traction. These are the types of winters where there is not much to show for everyone’s efforts. Some interesting facts so far:

32 sand/plow events so far this winter out of the Bedford Patrol Yard (40 events in all for the winter of 2015/2016)
2 cycles of snow removal in December
Approximately 50% of total sand supply used so far
10 rain events
approximately $100,000 in salt deliveries over the last 3 weeks ATTACHMENT: Weather Reports Submitted/approved by: Mark Segsworth, P. Eng. Public Works Manager

STAFF REPORT CLERKS DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR COUNCIL:

January 4, 2017

AGENDA DATE:

January 17, 2017

SUBJECT: Parking Tickets RECOMMENDATION: For information only. BACKGROUND Council passed By-law 2016-18, a by-law to create “no parking” and “parking restrictions” in the village of Sydenham in March, 2016. The by-law did not come into force and take effect until the Public Works Department posted the appropriate markings and signage. Once the signage was installed a “grace” period was provided with a warning issued. Council requested an update on parking tickets in South Frontenac. The tables below provide an update on the past four years. Year

The parking violation fee is $27.00 if paid within 7 days; otherwise the set fee is $40.00. It should be noted that we do have an agreement with the Ministry of Transportation to trace ownership of vehicles by their license plates and move forward with pursuing the collection of parking fees through the courts. This program has not been utilized due to the staff time involved and the costs versus what actually gets collected through the courts. Submitted by:

SOUTHFRONTENAC

Dear Municipal Colleague: I’m excited to share AMO’s 2017-18 Strategic Objectives. It’s an ambitious plan that will

help usto promote municipal interests overthe next 16 months, headinginto the2018 provincial election. Thisyearthe province introduced 12 piecesof legislation that affected us, along with many regulations. We expect 2017 to be even busier. There’s been an incredible amount of provincial and federal consultation. Some of our members have remarked that if it weren’tfor AMO, they could not be ‘in the know/ let alone have assurance that municipal viewswere beingpresented to government in a timely way. Our work keeps municipal interests front and centre at Queens Park, by offering solutions, and by working hard to try to get the responses we need. We’ve had success in preventing some harmful policies from finding their way into legislation. We’ve also been successful in advancing particular needs - the most recent is seeing every municipal government receive formula basedfundingfrom the Can-On Phase 1 Clear Water and WasteWater Fund. This did not happen anywhere else in the country. AMD has 43 Board members from municipal governments across the province and our

work benefits from the wide input. The Directors you elect every two years come from communities of all sizes,from very small rural and northern to urban centres and upper tiers. Those Directors, along with the chairs of NOMA, FONOM, ROMA, OSUM, MARCO,

LUMCO,and the two Wardens Group help pull the municipal community together, creating valuable linkages and depth. Our shared success counts on your financial support and your voice. I hope that we can count on you for both. I also want to share information about two other AMO corporations that serve Ontario’s municipal community. First, Local Authority Services, or LAS, provides leading edge services that save you money and create opportunity. For example, it offers an LEDstreetlight program that cuts electricity consumption. The program has been used by many, reducing their energy consumption by 40 to 70%. It was recently recognized by the World Bank and it won the 2016 Lightsavers Canada Award. LASfollowed up that success with a recreational facility LED lighting program. It pays to invest in LED. .. 11

It also pays to invest in LAS’s One Investment Program, which provides Ontario municipalities with stronger investment returns by combining municipal resources.

Together, weare bigger, and stronger. Thesame approach creates a better high-interest savingsaccountfor Ontario’s municipalities - and it offers you better pricingthrough pooled and hedged electricity, natural gas and fuel procurement programs. ‘These arejust a few ofthe LAS programs that stretch precious taxpayer dollars further for municipalities small and large. Check them out at http://www. las. on. ca/About/What-is-LAS

If you are an OMERS employer, the Municipal Employers Pension Centre of Ontario, or MEPCO, unites 410 of the 1, 000 or so employers within that pension plan. MEPCOwas

created in 2006 because individual municipal governments would have virtually no say in Plan design even though a small change in contribution rates can have a big impact on municipal budgets. Your ongoing support for MEPCO creates a much stronger position for us all. It enables usto tap pension and actuarial experts who help us as employer representative to advance ideasthat make the Plan more sustainable and effective. In a

joint empioyee/employer pension governance system, Plan design and benefit decisions are critical to municipal governments’ bottom line, given other financial pressures in the delivery of municipal services. MEPCO’s 2016 record and 2017 activities are also attached.

It shows how your contribution to MEPCO is bringing municipal employer interests to the table.

The invoices for both AMD and MEPCO have been forwarded under separate cover to your finance department. I hope you agreethat the work of AMO and MEPCOis valuable and that we can count on your membership in 2017. 1 also hope that you will learn about and take advantage of the LAS programs.

When we go to Queen’s Park or to Parliament Hill, being able to saythat we represent all municipal governments in Ontario is very important. Speaking with that common voice

improves their listening! On behalfofthe AMO Board, thankyou for your support. Season’s Greetings! Yours sincerely,

Lynn Dollin AMO President

2016 Assessment Update Municipal Summary Report

The return of 2016 assessment rolls to Ontario municipalities marks a key milestone in the organization’s delivery of the province-wide 2016 Assessment Update. 2016 was a year of many firsts for MPAC’s delivery of updated assessments. We made a number of changes to our operations and the products and services we deliver to property owners and stakeholders. Our goal was to undertake an Assessment Update that demonstrated a greater focus on roll stability, transparency and collaboration. We have developed the enclosed report for municipal administration and elected officials to provide an Executive Summary of the work performed by MPAC in support of the 2016 Assessment Update, which includes municipal level snapshots of the property class changes unique to your area. A copy of this report has been provided to the Chief Administrative Officers, Finance Officers, Treasurers and Tax Collectors. I would like to request your assistance to share the attached report with municipal councils. Please contact your Regional Manager or Account Manager Municipal and Stakeholder Relations if you have any questions about the report. Yours truly,

Delivering the 2016 Assessment Update About This Report The following report has been developed to provide municipal administration and elected officials with an executive summary of the work undertaken by Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) in delivering assessed values for the 2016 Assessment Update.

MPAC is committed to providing property owners, municipalities and all its stakeholders with the best possible service. Our goal is a stable assessment base through greater transparency, shared understanding and accuracy in property values.

Introduction In Ontario, property assessments are updated every four years. The 2016 Assessment Update reflects a legislated valuation date of January 1, 2016, for the 2017-2020 property tax years. MPAC’s work to deliver the 2016 Assessment Update began in 2015—nearly two years earlier than previous Assessment Updates. As part of our efforts, we introduced some of the most significant reforms to Ontario’s property assessment system since 1998, and recognized early engagement and openness as keys to our success. The following report summarizes the initiatives that MPAC has undertaken to: • Deliver on our commitment to engage with and provide greater access to information for property owners, municipalities and stakeholders • Improve our valuation analysis, methods and models • Increase our assessment quality through stringent data cleansing, quality checks and testing our work through third parties

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report

Page 92 of 146

Our 2013-2016 Strategic Plan MPAC provided property owners, municipalities and stakeholders with the best possible service through transparency, predictability and accuracy—and works with municipalities and property owners and industry associations to identify potential opportunities to further refine Ontario’s property tax system.

Disclosure MPAC has launched disclosure initiatives to inform property owners and municipalities about how accurate property values are established. MPAC’s approach to disclosure varies by property type. The disclosure initiatives include ongoing consultations with property owners and municipalities to determine appropriate valuation methodology and valuation parameters.

3 L E V E L S

Three levels of Disclosure documentation were established:

1 Methodology Guides Methodology Guide

33 guides that explain assessment methodology, and reflect appraisal industry standards and best practices.

2 Market Valuation Reports (MVR) Market Valuation Report

161 reports that explain how assessment methodology is applied to value properties, at the sector level, including reports for each of MPAC’s 128 residential market areas.

3 Property Specific Valuation Information Property Specific Valuation Information

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report

Detailed information is also provided for over 5 million properties in Ontario, including 600,000+ farm and business properties, available through secure access (aboutmyproperty.ca) to property taxpayers, their representatives and municipalities. MPAC has published 33 additional supporting documents, including our Information and Data Sharing Policy, Economic Obsolescence Reports, and Cost Analytics.

Page 93 of 146

2016 Assessment Update Rollout Residential Properties Notices for residential property owners were mailed over a 21-week period starting on April 4, 2016. The staggered approach was intended for MPAC to: • Resolve any property owner concerns before final Assessment Rolls are returned to municipalities • Allow for more localized targeted outreach • Manage the influx of calls to our call centre to better respond to enquiries

Residential Market Trends Launched April 2016, Residential Market Trends is a new, user-friendly online tool on aboutmyproperty.ca designed to inform property taxpayers about key market shifts happening in their neighbourhood and across Ontario. Through interactive maps, property owners can understand how property assessments have changed in any specified neighbourhood. The maps display information on the average assessment increase in an area, including the value of a typical home, condominium and waterfront property value from 2016 to 2017. Provincially, residential property values have increased on average by 4.5% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average residential property will increase by 18%. Key Improvement Areas Improved Sales/Data Validation MPAC completed more sales investigations and data quality checks in preparation for this year’s assessment update than past reassessments. MPAC staff investigated more than 200,000 sales since 2012, which is more than double the sales reviewed for the 2012 Assessment Update. MPAC also reviewed and updated more than 2.8 million data elements. Redesigned Property Assessment Notice MPAC redesigned the Property Assessment Notice as part of its commitment to enhance the residential taxpayer experience and educate property taxpayers on the valuation process.

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report

Page 94 of 146

MPAC conducted quantitative and qualitative research through a third party to receive feedback from residential taxpayers from across Ontario. Enhancements were made based on this feedback and through consultation with the Ministry of Finance. Changes include: • An Issue Date and specific Request for Reconsideration (RfR) deadline for each of the applicable tax years • A clear explanation of phase-in • A simple explanation of the Ontario Property Assessment System • Information on the valuation process and the five key factors that affect residential property value Improved Understanding In advance of the residential Notice mailing, a variety of resources were provided to property owners, including: • Brochures About MPAC Understanding Your 2016 Property Assessment Notice Resolving Assessment Concerns/Requests for Reconsideration (RfR) Residential Properties Newly Built Homes Waterfront Properties • Videos AboutMyProperty™ Overview How MPAC Assesses Properties The Request for Reconsideration process Property Assessment and Taxation • Residential Market Trends

Property Assessment Notices were delivered starting October 11, 2016, with an average annual increase of 16% since 2012. Over the next four years, the average farm property will increase by 64%.

Farm Market Trends Farm Market Trends were created for 48 different geographic regions, and the Current Value Assessment change shows the percentage increase for year one of the phase-in (2017). The maps also show a rate per acre of Class 1 farmland, which is often how farmers speak when referencing the value of their farm property.

Upward trends continue Farmland property sales indicate that farm values have continued to increase provincially.

Interest rates are low Historic low interest rates have allowed farmers to expand farming operations.

Demand outweighs supply Over the last several years, the demand for farmland has significantly outweighed the supply, creating competition.

Not all buyers are farmers Non-agricultural buyers in Ontario continue to purchase farmland.

More land is needed Many sectors, including large intensive livestock enterprises, need land for nutrient management and cropping requirements.

Soil type is a factor The availability of soil types that support high-value crops is driving up demand.

Farmland sales expand east Producers continue to expand by purchasing land in Eastern Ontario and in neighbouring communities.

Lower priced land available in northeast Buyers from Southern Ontario who are in search of lower priced land are finding it in the Northern and Eastern regions of Ontario.

Average annual assessment changes reflect the median value for farm properties, regardless of the property class. This includes vacant farmland, farms with residences and outbuildings. The farm market trends map for 48 different geographic regions are available on aboutmyproperty.ca. Key Improvement Areas Data Integrity/Accuracy For the 2016 Update, MPAC implemented a number of changes that have resulted in a better approach to farm valuations. • Improved farm sale verification process. MPAC undertook significant analysis and only used sales of farmland sold to farmers to determine farmland rates. Farm verifications included a standard letter and questionnaire sent to new farm owners, and a mandatory review of vacant farm land sales that are 10 acres or greater. • Comprehensive review of vacant farm land sales back to January 2008. A longer sales period increased the number of farm sales in MPAC’s analysis by approximately 40% over past reassessments (sales are time-adjusted to reflect market changes over time). • Reduction in the number of farm neighbourhoods. Farm neighbourhoods have been combined, resulting in a reduction from 228 to 167 neighbourhoods. This has enabled MPAC to use more sales transactions in its determination of the farm land rates. MPAC staff also reviewed the values for farms in bordering neighbourhoods to ensure equity in the valuations. • New Agricultural Cost Guide. MPAC is now relying on a new, up-to-date agricultural cost guide to determine the value of farm structures.

Consultation and Engagement In consultation with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), municipalities and industry representatives, MPAC worked closely with the farming community to provide additional transparency regarding farmland valuations. Redesigned Property Assessment Notice MPAC engaged property owners and industry groups through focus groups to discuss potential enhancements to the Property Assessment Notice. As a result of feedback received, MPAC customized the Farm Notice to clearly indicate whether the property is classified in the residential or farm tax property class and include acreage as part of the property description. Improved Understanding In addition to outreach and consultation, MPAC created a suite of communication materials to help farm property owners understand the changes being introduced for farm properties as part of this year’s province-wide Assessment Update. The materials include: • A new Farm brochure • How MPAC Assesses Farm Properties video • An Infographic that explains how MPAC values farm properties • Understanding your Farm Property Assessment Notice Brochure • Access to all three levels of disclosure for their farm property through aboutmyproperty.ca • Farm Market Trends

Business Properties Business property owners received their 2016 Notices starting on October 18, 2016. Values reflect the local real estate market and MPAC’s analysis of the market indicates that most categories of business property have increased in value over the last four years. MPAC has made considerable efforts to analyze local markets, review the data on file and talk to property owners in advance of the update.

Multi-Residential MPAC has changed the way multi-residential properties are assessed and used the Direct Capitalization Approach for the 2016 Assessment Update. These changes were implemented as a result of feedback received during consultations with the Federation of Rental-Housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO), the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada (Ontario Region Office) and the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association. Provincially, multiresidential property values have increased on average by 7% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average multi-residential property will increase by 28%.

Upward trends continue

Interest rates are low

Multi-residential property sales indicate that values have continued to increase provincially.

Historic low interest rates have fueled an active sales market for multi-residential properties.

Demand outweighs supply

REITs and large portfolio holders invest

Competition for apartment investment properties in large urban centres has resulted in premium pricing.

Real estate investment trusts and large institutional investors continue to invest in this stable asset class.

Rent vs. buy

Province-wide effects

Many young professionals are choosing to rent instead of buy due to strong home prices.

Sale prices have continued to climb across the province. Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, Barrie, Hamilton, Windsor and the Greater Toronto Area all show strengthening apartment markets.

Commercial Commercial properties have a broad range of uses including small retail, food service, shopping centres or big box centres, office buildings or other general commercial uses. MPAC conducted pre-roll discussions and/or information sessions with Ontario Business Improvement Area Associations, large office and large retail property owners, major tenants (i.e., national chains) to review preliminary valuation parameters for the various sectors. In preparation for this year’s Assessment Update, MPAC reviewed Fair Market Rents against market data submitted by property owners and reviewed three years of sales data to establish accurate values. Provincially, commercial property values have increased on average by 3.1% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average commercial property will increase by 12.4%.

Retail development in an expanding housing market Retail development remains strong in areas with growing residential communities to support the demand for retail services from new residents.

Capitalization rates and office buildings Capitalization rates continue to compress in most parts of Ontario. New supply continues to be added in several major markets, including Toronto, Richmond Hill, Mississauga and Oakville.

Ottawa faces decline in office building values Ottawa continues to see a decline in rents and an increase in vacancy as the federal government continues to relinquish office space back to the market.

Big box vs. standard retail properties Province-wide, big box properties are experiencing marginally lower increases in assessment when compared to standard retail properties due to the limited utility beyond their existing use and limited market demand within this sector.

Commercial in the Northwest The main urban centres of Thunder Bay, Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances are experiencing the most consistent assessment increases in the region. Affordable housing market conditions along with stability in the mining and forestry sector have contributed to steady market conditions in the commercial sector.

Commercial in Northeastern Ontario Northeastern Ontario is seeing the lowest average change in commercial properties in the region. Increases to small retail properties are tempered in part due to the continued development of big box centres in these communities which have drawn consumers from traditional retail markets. Office buildings and large shopping centre values have outperformed small retail as sectors and investors outside of Northern Ontario see value in investing in the North due to low interest rates.

Industrial MPAC conducted pre-roll consultations and/or information sessions with the Ontario Business Improvement Areas (BIA) Association and member BIAs from across Ontario, ONroute Service Centres, the Gravel Pit Industry, municipalities, the Ministry of Finance and Infrastructure Ontario to get an improved understanding of how assessment changes will impact various groups in this sector. Provincially, industrial property values have increased on average by 3% annually since 2012. Over the next four years, the average industrial property will increase by 12%.

Upward trends continue Standard industrial property sales indicate the industrial market remains strong in the Greater Toronto Area.

Rebounding market in Southwestern Ontario The market in Southwestern Ontario remains stable with industrial sales rebounding in Windsor/Chatham.

Logistics a key driver for this segment Access to main transportation routes along the 400 series highways and large distribution centres continues to stimulate industrial markets.

Large and Special Purpose Business Properties Large and special purpose business properties are generally characterized as properties that have a unique design, layout, size, construction materials and/or building services that facilitate one or a limited number of uses. • They have limited market possibilities, except as a going concern business • They typically have specialized building services • They tend to serve large market areas that are more regional, national or international in scope • They generally contain machines and machine fittings that are designed to facilitate one purpose • Adaptation to other uses is typically challenging, requiring significant alterations and rarely finding economically viable uses for all of the improvements As part of MPAC’s delivery of the 2016 Assessment Update and the implementation of the recommendations under the Ministry of Finance’s Special Purpose Business Property Assessment Review (SPBPAR) Report, MPAC established an Advance Disclosure Protocol for Large and Special Purpose Business Properties. The protocol provided municipalities and property taxpayers with the opportunity to review and comment on MPAC’s market analytics and preliminary assessed values for large and special purpose business properties in advance of roll return. Under the Ministry of Finance’s Section 10 directive, MPAC was required to develop Methodology Guides for the following large and special purpose business property types: • Pulp and Paper Mills • Saw Mills • Value-Added Wood Products Manufacturing Plants • Steel Manufacturing Plants • Automotive Assembly Plants • Automobile Parts Manufacturing Plants

2016 Assessment Update: Municipal Summary Report

Page 105 of 146

Recognizing the complexities surrounding other property sectors, MPAC followed the same procedure for the following additional large and special purpose business property types: • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing • Chemical Manufacturing • Oil Refineries • Mining • Food Processing • Aerospace

Consultation Engagement and collaboration has provided municipalities and property owners with an opportunity to review and comment on MPAC’s sector level analytics and preliminary assessed values for large and special purpose business property types. Preliminary valuation summaries were shared with property owners and municipalities in May of 2016 encouraging property owners and municipalities to review the information and provide feedback, and to share alternate data, evidence and analysis with MPAC. This feedback was reflected in the updated preliminary values distributed by MPAC on October 4, 2016, which allowed property owners and municipalities a final opportunity to review their revised preliminary summary and offer input prior to Property Assessment Notice delivery on November 28, 2016.

Our Approach to Value The Municipal Experience A redesigned Municipal Connect™ allows for better understanding and management of the assessment base and assessment at risk, and offers municipalities a modern and flexible way to access assessment information. To better support the management of municipal services and provide further insight into the 2016 Assessment Update, Municipal Connect™ provided municipalities with access to preliminary values allowing for early consultation/discussion with the goal of greater roll stability and predictability. Many enhancements were made in the development of Municipal Connect 2.0. Key changes include: • Access to preliminary values through the Pre-Roll Consultation File for the 2016 Current Value Assessment (2017 to 2020 tax years) • Weighted assessments based on a municipality’s specific ratios • New and enhanced mapping and satellite photo capabilities, including property type and assessment parcel overlays • Access to Commercial/Industrial preliminary values • Access to Assessment Review Board appeal and Request for Reconsideration information MPAC staff continue to work to provide additional enhancements to meet municipalities’ unique needs. Throughout 2017, we will continue to transition functionality from the classic version of Municipal Connect, offer municipalities improved flexibility to build on-demand reports, as well as continue to improve the ability to search, sort, and monitor properties.

Conclusion Throughout the 2016 Assessment Update, we have placed careful and deliberate focus on increased transparency and a shared understanding of property assessments. Careful consideration was given to property sectors where there was a change in methodology, and we have worked collaboratively to engage municipalities, stakeholders and property owners to deliver fair and accurate property assessments. Significant improvements were introduced this year including the early mailing of Notices, revamped aboutmyproperty.ca site, redesigned Property Assessment Notices, work on advance disclosure, early engagement and pre-roll discussions. These changes share a common goal that is rooted in MPAC’s commitment to bring stability and predictability to municipalities’ tax base. As final rolls are delivered, and we enter the first year of Ontario’s next four-year cycle, we remain focused on continuing to support all our stakeholders with regard to 2016 base year assessments. We are also committed to continuously improving our service to stakeholders and encourage you to share your feedback with us on the delivery of the 2016 Assessment Update. Looking forward, we are excited to foster continuous improvements in service delivery through greater collaboration between MPAC and municipalities. Your local Municipal and Stakeholder Relations team is available to support you throughout the Assessment Update and beyond. Please contact your Regional Manager, Account Manager or Account Support Coordinator if you have questions or would like more information about this report.

Dear Mr.Mills, We, the undersigned, are residents of the area of Opinicon Lake that falls under the jurisdiction of the Township of South Frontenac, along with a few people living just over the border in the Township of Rideau Lakes. We would like to express our serious concerns about the major expansion of trailer and cave camping being proposed for the area around Skycroft Campground, particularly the proposed re-zoning of an adjoining parcel of land for the purpose of developing a new trailer and cave campground including 175 sites. In addition to going against the tide of public sentiment, we believe that this site redevelopment would violate several aspects of the Ontario Provincial Policy Statement of 2014 (OPPS).

Historical Background (1958-2016) Skycroft campground has existed on its current site since 1958, and has always been responsible for the majority of the boat and car traffic on this otherwise quiet end of the lake. The previous owners of the campground had always been very sensitive to this fact and retained a commitment to maintaining a small-scale operation in order to keep good relations with their neighbours and preserve the nature and character of the area. Approximately 5 years ago, Skycroft came under new ownership. While it was already a profitable business, the new owner has nonetheless proposed a significant re-development of an adjacent property (which has already been expanded onto without all of the required municipal permissions). If approved, this re-development would dramatically increase the size of the operation, more than tripling the number of seasonal occupants in the part of the lake that falls within the Township of South Frontenac. It would result in approximately 250 combined sites between the two campgrounds, which is five times the maximum of 50 sites that the Township permits for waterfront campgrounds. While it is true that the newer site would not technically border the lakefront, the site plan clearly shows that the two sites would operate as one campground in practice, with both having access to the waterfront, thus creating a resort-type beach front development. Residents believe that a development even a fraction of the size of what is being proposed would have many negative consequences.

Public Consultation, October 4, 2016 At the October 4, 2016 meeting of the South Frontenac Municipal Council to discuss the proposed expansion, the suggestion that the new campground could be kept separate from the existing campground and not be granted access to the waterfront was deemed to be unbelievable by all councillors present. Several councillors pointed out that the network of trails connecting the existing site and the proposed expansion site showed that full integration with waterfront facilities was the true intention. Some noted that they believed that the plan, as presented, was a clear attempt to circumvent the existing restrictions on campsite density for lakefront properties. All of the occupants of Split Rail Lane who attended the meeting expressed their opposition to the proposed development. The concerns of these individuals are shared by many other area 2

Page 113 of 146 January 9, 2017

residents who also stand to be significantly impacted due to their close proximity to Skycroft Campground and the proposed expansion site, but were not notified individually about the proposed re-development or the public meeting to discuss it. Despite the strong opposition expressed at the meeting, Council left an opening for the proponent to reapply. We have subsequently heard that the rezoning and subsequent development may yet be approved, in spite of both Council’s own publicly stated concerns and local residents’ clear and unambiguous objection to the development. We believe that this would be a fundamental mistake and would make a mockery of the public consultation process. Our concerns about this proposal are outlined below:

Concerns about Natural Heritage Impact on Wildlife and Habitat/Species at Risk As the shallowest part of Opinicon Lake and an area with a comparatively low level of boat traffic, the southwestern end of the lake provides vital habitat for many species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, migratory and resident birds, insects, fungi, trees and other plants. This includes many species listed under the Federal Species at Risk Act. This area is also part of a well-recognized mammal and bird migration corridor between the Adirondack Mountains and the Canadian Shield and, accordingly, is recognized internationally as part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The density of wildlife in this area is astounding, even by the standards of the region and many of these species stand to be negatively impacted by the significant increase in car, boat, jet ski, canoe, kayak, and foot traffic that would inevitably be generated by this development. It is also likely to contribute to increased shoreline disturbance, erosion, and runoff, particularly in the ecologically sensitive Telephone Bay area that is adjacent to the Skycroft waterfront. Section 2.1.5d of the OPPS states that development and site alteration shall not be permitted in: b) significant woodlands in Ecoregion 6E; or d) significant wildlife habitat; unless it has been “demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions” Before any consideration of rezoning takes place, the ecological importance of woodlands found within and adjacent to the subject property should be evaluated to determine whether significant woodlands exist within or adjacent to the property. Once it has been determined whether significant woodlands exist, an assessment of potential impacts the proposed development might have on these features should be completed.

Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) within the Township of South Frontenac can be defined by the guidelines outlined in the Significant Wildlife Habitat Criteria Schedules for Ecoregion 6E (MNRF, 2015). As far as we know, specific mapping of this habitat has not been completed by the municipality. However, based on the location of the subject property and potentially available habitat within and adjacent to the site, candidate Significant Wildlife Habitat would include: • • • •

•

• • • • •

•

Raptor Wintering Areas (The Bald Eagle is known to overwinter in the Opinicon Lake area); Bat Hibernacula (The potential occurrence of bat hibernacula within the property should be investigated and potential impacts to bat hibernacula assessed). Bat Maternity Colonies (The forested portions of the property are likely to serve as maternity colony habitat for endangered bats). Turtle Wintering Areas (Populations of the Blanding’s Turtle (Threatened), Northern Map Turtle (Special Concern), Snapping Turtle (Special Concern) and others exist in this area); Turtle Nesting Areas. Opinicon Lake (including Telephone Bay) has one of the larger populations of the Northern Map Turtle known in Eastern Ontario and research has shown that older reproductive females can often suffer grave damage resulting from motor boat traffic, sufficiently so as to drive the population to extinction (http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/gblouin/articles/047_2010_nmt_propeller.pdf). Reptile Hibernaculum (All snake and lizard species listed in Table 1.1 of the SWH schedule are known to occur within the general vicinity of the property); Deer Winter Congregation Areas (MNRF, Peterborough District should be contacted to confirm winter use of area by white-tailed deer and the significance of such use); Seeps and Springs; Amphibian Breeding Habitat (woodland breeding pools); Area-sensitive Bird Breeding Habitat (several interior forest bird species including the Threatened Cerulean Warbler are known to occur within the immediate vicinity of the property); and Special Concern and Rare Wildlife Species.

As several types of Significant Wildlife Habitat may be found on or directly adjacent to the property, inventories to confirm the presence of SWH should be undertaken and an assessment of impacts to SWH should be completed before any consideration is given to rezoning this property or approving a future site plan. In conjunction with the Provincial Endangered Species Act and the Federal Species at Risk Act and their regulations, Section 2.1.7 of the OPPS states that: “Development and site alteration shall not be permitted in habitat of endangered species and threatened species, except in accordance with provincial and federal requirements.” Several federally or provincially Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern species are known to occur within the immediate vicinity of the property in question, including but not limited to:

Page 115 of 146 January 9, 2017

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

Gray Ratsnake (Threatened); Eastern Ribbon Snake (Special Concern); Blanding’s Turtle (Threatened); Northern Map Turtle (Special Concern); Snapping Turtle (Special Concern); Eastern Whip-poor-will (Threatened); Eastern Wood-Peewee (Special Concern); Cerulean Warbler (Threatened); Golden Winged Warbler (Special Concern); Bald Eagle (Special Concern); Wood Thrush (Special Concern); Little Brown Myotis (Endangered) (maternity colony habitat and hibernacula); and Butternut (Endangered).

Other species listed under the Species at Risk Act that are known to be found in the Opinicon area and may also be present at or around the site include: Eastern Musk Turtle (Special Concern), Canada Warbler (Special Concern), Golden Eagle (Endangered), Peregrine Falcon (Special Concern), Barn Owl (Endangered), Barn Swallow (Threatened), Bank Swallow (Threatened), Eastern Meadowlark (Threatened), Louisiana Waterthrush (Special Concern), and Loggerhead Shrike (Endangered). Based on local community knowledge of regular sightings, the Skycroft Campground and the adjacent property slated for development are both located within the regulated habitat area of the Gray Ratsnake (Fronteanac Arch Population) as prescribed by Section 27.2 of Ontario Regulation 242/08. Provincial legislation mandates the protection of habitat features including snake hibernacula, egg laying sites, shedding and basking sites, thermoregulation sites and any site within 1km of an occurrence which a Gray Ratsnake directly depends on to carry out its life processes (e.g. forests, rock barrens, hedge rows, shorelines, old field, wetland or similar habitat). In addition to the potential for habitat disturbance, increased RV and other vehicle traffic can be expected have a significant impact on road mortality, which represents a significant threat to the health of the local rat snake population as well as that of many other resident species (http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/gblouin/articles/032_2007_brs_road.pdf). Impacts to the Gray Ratsnake and its habitat should be addressed prior to any consideration of rezoning or altering the site and targeted hibernacula surveys should be conducted during the appropriate time period and an impact assessment should be completed. As many threatened and endangered species are likely to occur within and directly adjacent to the subject property, targeted surveys should be completed to determine the presence and extent of habitat found within the subject lands and an impact assessment be conducted and appropriate provincial approvals obtained. It is also important to note that Section 2.1.8 of the OPPS states: “Development and site alteration shall not be permitted on adjacent lands to the natural heritage features and areas” identified in the OPPS “unless the ecological function of the adjacent lands has been evaluated 5

Page 116 of 146 January 9, 2017

and it has been demonstrated that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or on their ecological functions.” Impact on Conservation and Protected Areas Section 2.1.5 e of the OPPS 2014 states that: “Development and site alteration shall not be permitted” in “significant areas of natural and scientific interest.” Opinicon Lake is home to the Queen’s University Biological Station (QUBS) which owns and manages several large tracts of land on this end of the lake. These areas are actively used for research on the genetics and behaviour of numerous species, including several of those mentioned above. Many local residents have, furthermore, allowed for biological research to be done on their private lands over time and most of the lands currently owned by Queen’s were either donated by local residents or sold below market value in order to ensure that the area would not be developed further. The part of the lake that falls under South Frontenac jurisdiction also houses a large Provincial fish sanctuary that has been in existence since the 1930s. These protected areas and scientific research sites are largely unsupervised and could be negatively impacted by the increased traffic that would be brought about by this proposed development. Impact on Fish and Fish Habitat Section 2.1.6 of the OPPS states: “Development and site alteration shall not be permitted in fish habitat except in accordance with provincial and federal requirements.” Opinicon Lake directly supports a variety of sports fish and baitfish species (e.g. CRA fisheries as defined under the Federal Fisheries Act). The Fisheries Act requires that projects avoid causing serious harm to fish or their habitat. This also applies to work being conducted in and adjacent to waterbodies that support fish (CRA fishery). Lake Opinicon provides important and exceptional habitat to fish including: • • •

Habitat identified by DFO for populations of a federally listed aquatic species of special concern: the Bridle Shiner; Shallow water spawning and nursery habitat for sports fish and baitfish populations; The aforementioned 80 year old fish sanctuary in the area.

As re-zoning and future development of the site will likely require updates to or construction of new infrastructure within and adjacent to Opinicon Lake, an assessment of potential impacts such development may have to CRA fisheries and fish habitat should be undertaken as prior to any rezoning and any future site plan approvals. Neighbours have observed that the marina at Skycroft has expanded significantly in recent years, we presume with the consent of the appropriate authorities, and any increase in the number of camp sites could lead to requests for further expansion. Even if no expansion to the marina is permitted, many Skycroft patrons bring their own boats and the camp enables them to launch them from the site. Considering that fishing is among the main activities marketed to Skycroft patrons, it stands to reason that an increase in the number of boats could significantly increase pressure on local fish populations and could impact the capacity of existing residents to have continued access to recreational fishing at current levels. 6

Cumulative Impacts Finally, it is noteworthy that this proposal is coming on the heels of the major redevelopment of the Opinicon Hotel at Chaffey’s Lock which has already brought many new visitors to the lake and will bring many more once it is fully operational next year. Recent years have also seen the construction of many new cottages on the lake. These developments promise to increase car, foot, and watercraft traffic in our area as well. We believe that the impact of what Skycroft is proposing cannot be adequately assessed without consideration of the cumulative impacts of these developments. Given the above mentioned constraints associated with the general vicinity of this property and the potential for proposed development activities to seriously impact these features it is strongly recommended by the local community that further studies be undertaken to document existing conditions of the property and a complete assessment of impacts to Natural Heritage value be completed before any further discussion of rezoning or site plan approval takes place. We would furthermore ask that documentation accompanying any subsequent site plan applications be peer-reviewed. It is also important that all appropriate provincial and federal approvals be obtained prior to any future site alterations to ensure impacts on resident species and their habitats are meaningfully considered.

Concerns about Cultural Heritage and First Nations Opinicon Lake falls under multiple levels of national and international heritage protection, forming part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a National Historic Site, and a National Heritage River. It is also an Ontario Cultural Heritage Landscape as defined in the OPPS 2014. The OPPS states that planning authorities should not permit site alteration without demonstrating that the heritage attributes will be considered, which would also include: fish habitat, wildlife habitat, and preservation of its potential for uncovering indigenous archeological sites (2.6.3). Our immediate area still has many heritage resources that have not been properly excavated, catalogued, or studied. These include: 19th Century Material Remains The Rideau Canal has provided a commercial corridor into this area since the early 1830s. The southwestern end of the lake was the site of the once thriving, but now largely abandoned logging, mining, and farming town of Lake Opinicon, which boomed from the 1850s through the early 1900s. Skycroft itself sits upon the site of a major milling operation owned by the industrialist Charles Gildersleeve, a former mayor of Kingston. Remnants of this earlier period are still very much apparent throughout the landscape and we have serious concerns about the impact that additional foot and boat traffic could have in disturbing these heritage resources.

Page 118 of 146 January 9, 2017

Evidence of Use by Indigenous Peoples This area was continuously used by Indigenous Peoples (Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and probably others) prior to the 19th century and includes unceded territory that falls within the boundaries of the Algonquin land claim. While the flooding of the area nearly 200 years ago has made archaeological research more difficult, material remains from about 1000 years ago have been discovered in neighbouring Sand Lake and Lower Rock Lakes and it seems probable that further research could reveal similar findings in this part of Opinicon Lake as well. The Government of Ontario has committed to work toward reconciliation with First Nations, and we believe that taking this commitment seriously demands that the Council consult with Indigenous Peoples with historic and contemporary ties to this area before authorizing a site redevelopment of this scale which has the potential to transform the landscape in a significant way. No matter how careful Skycroft and its patrons may try to be, the fact is that such a large increase in the number of seasonal visitors to an area this small will significantly increase the risk of these historically and culturally significant sites being disturbed.

Concerns about Property Owner/Taxpayer Rights Reduced Property Values and Noise Pollution As residents of an area that falls under multiple levels of heritage and environmental protection, we accept that we are subject to highly restrictive building and planning codes, which undoubtedly have a negative impact on the resale value of our properties and on our capacity to develop them as we see fit for our own use. We also accept that we pay high municipal taxes, collectively far exceeding the amount paid by Skycroft. Furthermore, many of us pay a considerable amount more each year to maintain private roads through rough terrain to ensure access and those of us who do not live there year round also employ local people to help care for our properties. These are sacrifices and investments we are willing to make in exchange for the peace and tranquility we experience as a result of living in this rare, peaceful, and beautiful place. As mentioned, this section of the lake is very shallow and narrow, consisting largely of lands that were drowned in the creation of the Rideau Canal. It is separated from the main part of Opinicon Lake by a narrow channel, which makes the water extremely calm. As a result, noise travels across the water very easily, to the point that conversations from passing boats are often quite audible to residents on both sides of the lake. We are very concerned that that this proposed development would make the area much busier and noisier which would further reduce both our property values and our enjoyment of those properties. Residents who rely on Split Rail Lane for access to their properties also have serious concerns about the capacity of the lane to accommodate such a large increase in vehicular traffic. With so many more transient people in the area, the potential for break-ins, theft, and vandalism can also be expected to increase.

Page 119 of 146 January 9, 2017

Increased Air Pollution and Risk of Fire Those of us living closest to the site have concerns about the significant increase in air pollution from the smoke that would be produced by the large number of fire pits and barbecues in use. Nearby residents are already bothered by smoke emanating from Skycroft when the wind is blowing in their direction and this situation can be expected to worsen considerably with so many more sites. There is also concern about the increased risk of fire that this development would bring, as well as the fact that it would increase the vulnerability of many dwellings in the event that a major fire did occur in the area. In the spring of 2015 there was a major fire on the Skycroft property which destroyed one large building. With 146 new sites (to accompany the 29 sites already on the expansion property), one can expect a proportional increase in the risk of a wild fire. In the event of a fire, the evacuation of so many people via narrow Split Rail Lane would be extremely difficult, and the evacuation process itself could impede access to the property by emergency vehicles. If one takes the round number of 250 sites in total, and conservatively estimates an average of 4 campers per site (the maximum allowed is actually 9), emergency workers would have to evacuate at least 1000 campers and their vehicles along with all of the existing residents along one narrow road. Furthermore, with the heavy tree cover in the area and the many branches, dry leaves and other debris on the ground, a major fire could easily spread over a large area and could also put residences on other lanes at risk, some of which are in quite rough areas that are challenging for emergency vehicles to reach. Thus, not only would bringing in so many more campers proportionally increase the risk of a fire starting, it would also significantly increase the vulnerability to fire of most existing residents, by impeding the speed with which emergency vehicles can reach all impacted areas. We do not know whether the densely forested area around Skycroft has been designated a hazardous forest area under the OPPS 2014 definition or not, given that the re-development proposal does not address the issue of fire. Increased Land and Water Pollution There are also serious questions about the impact of increased sewage and garbage production at the site. The additional sewage discharge that the proposed Skycroft development would generate is considerable, far exceeding what residents of Split Rail Lane and Guthrie Lane believe that the area can accommodate. At least one residence on Guthrie Lane (located just south of the leach field for Skycroft’s relatively new Wolf Rock development on the land which is slated for a major expansion in the number of camp sites) had a well drilled 18 months ago and, in spite of multiple disinfections of the plumbing, water testing has shown extremely high levels of fecal contamination. While we cannot know the source of this contamination, the possibility that increased sewage production at the new site could impact the drinking water of neighbouring properties or the surrounding environment is a serious concern. It would also result in an increased coliform count in the lake (which will happen regardless of what septic bed arrangements are put in place) and this could have an impact on local wildlife and on swimming in the area. It is also noteworthy that some seasonal property owners in the immediate area of Skycroft Campground rely exclusively on boiled lake water and would be seriously impacted by any further increase in pollution or algae in the lake. 9

What is at Stake? It must be remembered that Skycroft is already a profitable business with ample room to increase seasonal rates, add service charges, or offer new products and services to existing patrons in order to increase its revenues without having to worsen the quality of life of its neighbours or increase its environmental footprint, both inevitable effects of this proposal. While most of the lake falls under the jurisdiction of the Township of Rideau Lakes, the Township of South Frontenac has been entrusted with the care of this one small and very special part of the Rideau Canal waterway. In the interests of those of us who make our homes here and the many animals who also live here, we hope that the Council will listen to the clearly expressed and widely shared objections of the overwhelming majority of residents and will deny any rezoning that could lead to further expansion at this site. The potential benefits to be gained from this development are minimal, other than increased income for the proponent, while the potential negative impacts are immeasurable. We feel compelled to make it clear to you how upset we all are by this situation and how committed we are to doing everything in our power to protect this area which means so much to us. Thank you very much for taking our concerns seriously. Sincerely,

Concerned Residents of Southwestern Opinicon opiniconresidents@gmail.com

Page 132 of 146 For the record and please acknowledge receipt: We are concerned and puzzled to learn that the Township of South Frontenac is trying to eliminate the current bag tag system, also known as pay as you throw (PAYT), and lump the waste disposal fee into property taxes. PAYT is based on two guiding principles: 1- the polluter pays, and 2- the shared responsibility concept. In general, PAYT allows some or all of the cost of waste management to be removed from property tax bills. Waste management services can then be treated like other utilities such as water or electricity. It is accepted that you pay according to your level of consumption. The more you use, the more you pay. There is incentive to reduce consumption. With PAYT, the incentive is to create less garbage, and coincidentally, to recycle more. According to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, PAYT is becoming more common across Canada as municipalities strive to achieve higher waste diversion rates. It provides an economic incentive to reduce waste. The Canadian average for waste diversion in 2006 was 22%. Many communities are aiming for 50% diversion from landfills. Some have achieved it. South Frontenac seems to want to buck that trend. The Municipality of Trent Lakes, on the other hand, is going to a PAYT model as of April 1 this year. Studies have shown that, as a rule, lower income families tend to produce less garbage, and higher income families tend to produce more. The PAYT approach is fairer than simply increasing property taxes for everybody. The PAYT approach also means that people who own undeveloped property would not be paying tax for garbage they don’t create. There are many reasons to stay with the PAYT model. There are economic, environmental and social benefits. We don’t need more landfill sites, we need fewer. Creating new landfill sites is expensive, as is transportation to ever more distant landfills. Recycling and composting create jobs. They are also better for the environment. Reduced landfill usage improves the quality of life in nearby communities, and encourages environmentally sustainable behaviour. Other models of PAYT exist. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If the system needs tweaking, then tweak it. Fine tune it. Don’t abandon it. There are plenty of reasons that other municipalities, not just in Canada but worldwide, are adopting PAYT. Hanne and Dennis Saunders 4034 Boyce Road Hartington

Norah Brien November-23-16 11:19 AM Susan Beckel Addressing Council

Dear Ms. Beckel I would like to address the Napanee Town Council regarding the Long Term Accommodation Plan provided to them from the Limestone District School Board. I would like to ask the Council to formally reject the LTAP and to help the Selby community by sending letters to the Limestone District School Board Trustees, the Director of Education as well as Premier Wynne and Director of Education Mitzie Hunter, stating their objections. Selby School is not only on the list for closure, but a boundary change that will see over half the school’s current population bussed into Prince Charles. Out of all five local schools recommended for closure, Selby has the highest enrollment, has had major repairs done over the last two years and is utilizing every

classroom, requirements that do not meet the standard for closure or boundary redefinition set by the Ministry of Education. If Selby School closes, we will see the loss of a great school and community. This will leave Greater Napanee with only two schools, as the proposal is to build the new school in Stone Mills Township. The LTAP recommendations are not serving the best interests of our children, despite what the Limestone Board says. I am asking Council to please help us save Selby School from closure. Please,

Sincerely, Norah Brien Selby, ON KOK 2Z0

Good evening, Thank you for allowing me to speak tonight, Mayor Schermerhorn, Deputy Mayor lsbester and council members. lam here as a parent to Selby school students as well as a lifelong resident of the Selby School community and former Selby student, to ask you to put forth a motion to reject the Long Term Accommodation Report that was presented to you earlier this fall from the Limestone District School Board. As well as rejecting the report, lam asking you join me and members of our community, in writing letters to the Minister of Education Mitzie Hunter and Premier Kathleen Wynne requesting a moratorium on school closures until a more acceptable and fair format to assessing the viability of a school is implemented. The long term accommodation plan recommendations, prepared by Ameresco Asset Sustainability Group, suggest opening a Pupil Accommodation Review in the 2017/18 school year which would see the closure of Selby School and the amalgamation of Selby students with the students of Tamworth, Enterprise, Centerville and Newburgh into one new school. However, this amalgamation does not include all Selby School students, nor does it include grade seven and eight students. Grade seven and eight students from all the schools in Stone Mills and Greater Napanee would be sent into NOSS and the majority of current Selby School students would be sent to Prince Charles in Napanee. The way that Long Term Accommodation Review reports are compiled is seriously flawed and it is discriminatory towards our small and rural schools. In their report, Ameresco gives no other alternatives to closing schools and shifting boundaries. Ameresco used outdated and inaccurate information to base their recommendations on. They sourced their information from the government census, which was last done in 2011, they used facility condition indexes from 2012 and enrolment projections based on inflated numbers. The Facility Condition Index is calculated by using the replacement cost of the school divided by the amount of repair the school needs, the higher the FCI percentage, the more prohibitive it is to repair the school. According to the report Selby School has an FCI of 95.3%, but approximately two years ago, Selby School applied for and received, a government grant for school repairs. With this grant the school was able to upgrade their electrical system and have the roof replaced, major repairs not included in this report. The Ministry of Education standard for calculating a school’s On The Ground Capacity (OTG), the maximum numbers of students the school can accommodate, is to take each grade, JK to grade eight, and give each grade the maximum number of students allowed. Rooms that are being used as a resource room, French room or computer room are “assigned” 12 students per room, even though realistically, a classroom cannot go in a library or computer room. Adding up the max class size with the extra ‘students” for the other rooms gives the OTG for a school. Therefore if a school’s OTG is significantly higher than its current enrolment, that school is deemed under capacity. Recently the Ministry of Education revised their capacity rates for schools and now all schools must operate at 100% capacity. Selby school has an on the ground capacity of 285 students. There are two French rooms, a computer room and a library, therefore giving our school an extra 48 student spaces. If 1

Page 138 of 146

we subtract the 48 phantom 5tudents from our capacity of 285, this gives Selby School 237 student spaces, the current enrolment of Selby School is 236 students. Selby School has the highest student enrolment of any rural school in our community and placed second in the EQAO (standardized) testing results for the entire Limestone school board. It is my opinion that Selby School is being considered for closure and boundary redefinition with the sole purpose to boost enrolment in Prince Charles, which according to the LTAP is declining. This is proven if you take a look at the existing boundary for Selby School and the proposed boundary for The Prince Charles, the majority of Selby students would be sent into The Prince Charles. According to the Ameresco report, enrolment 5 declining in Napanee District Secondary School and is expected to fall to 756 students by 2030/31. Their suggestion to make NDSS function at 100% capacity is to send all the grade seven and eight students for our entire area to NDSS. Not only are the Long Term Accommodation reports compiled using flawed information, they are based on guesses. In 2006, the LTAP report completed by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. was the catalyst to the closure ofWestdale, H.H. Langford and Sandhurst Public Schools. In that report, Watson and Associates projected enrolment for Selby Public School to fall to 149 students for 2015/16, as I have mentioned earlier, Selby School has a current enrolment of 236 students. The entire process of deciding the fate of a school has serious faults, from the LTP reports to the Pupil Accommodation Review Committee (PARC) process. In 2009 The PAR Committee for H.H. Langford, Westdale and Sandhurst had their choice of two schools overruled by the Senior Staff of Limestone District School Board. In the PARC report from December 2008, it stated that; “There was strong opposition to the splitting the Sandhurst catchment area and sending students in two different directions. Students in the existing Sandhurst catchment area attend Napanee District Secondary School for high school; students at Bath Public School go to Ernestown Secondary School for high school. The PARC felt it was most desirable for students in the Sandhurst catchment area to be able to attend Napanee District Secondary School for their high school program. The first choice of the PARC was to build two new schools one new school on the existing Westdale Park site for students in the Westdale Park catchment area, and a second new school in a rural area for students in the Langford and Sandhurst catchment areas and closing the three existing schools. The first choice for the senior staff of Limestone was to build one new school for all students on municipal services at the south end of Napanee, and close the three existing schools, sending some Sandhurst students to Bath Public School.” Greater Napanee now has one school in the south end of town, combining Westdale, H.H. Langford and some of Sandhurst students, other students in the former Sandhurst catchment did indeed get sent to Bath PS. —

How can the Ministry of Education and the Limestone Board say that the PARC process if fair, when it is obvious that the suggestions and desires of the PARC, students, families and the community are disregarded and what the Board wants, and has wanted all along, is favoured and is implemented?

Selby Public School is somewhat of a generational school. Former Selby students have grown up, some have left the community, but many have remained or moved back here to raise their children, myself included. Many parents bring their children to daycares here because of the fantastic reputation Selby School has. I am very afraid that without the school, our community will not thrive. Families will not want to move into an area without a school, they will seek housing in Stone Mills or in the town of Napanee. I spoke recently with a real estate agent who told me; “My personal opinion is that schools do influence where families choose to live. We have seen families move into the catchment area for Selby because it’s such a great school, with a great culture and fantastic teachers. Children that don’t do well at other schools thrive at Selby. To lose Selby School will be a huge loss for the community and for our children. Historically property values around a sought after school command a higher price. With the proposed closure of so many of our rural schools, I think this will have a negative impact on our communities and will affect property values. We have seen a steady trend of rising property values but this increase may slow with families moving out of the area to seek housing closer to where their child or children are gaining an education. The amount of time it takes to sell a property may increase if the school, which is oftentimes the heart of the community, is no longer there.” So I am here tonight for myself and on behalf of my children, my neighbours, my friends, the entire community of Selby, the teachers and support staff and most importantly each and every student who attends or will attend Selby Public School; Please, add your voice to ours and let the Limestone District School Board and the Government of Ontario know that you do not support the destruction of our community. If we do nothing, then we are contributing to the problem when we should be part of the solution. Norah Brien 145 Pleasant Drive Selby, ON KOK 2Z0 613-344-1704 norahbrien@gmail.com

10,000 Empty Spaces in Our Schools? Here’s How the Ministry Defines Capacity Until recently, parents and media had to accept the statement from the UCDSB that there are “10,000 empty student spaces” in the school board. But now the school board has explained how the study, using Ministry guidelines, has calculated capacity. And it indicates that many of those empty seats in under-enrolled schools are an illusion. According to the recent EA (page 4), capacity is determined in the following way for elementary schools: • • •

the two Kindergarten classes are each “loaded” at 26 pupils other classrooms are “loaded” at 23 pupils (even though most classroom caps are set at 20) resource rooms are “loaded” at 12 pupils {!) This means resource rooms such as a library, language room, and computer room each add 12 students to capacity. Even though the rooms are clearly meant to function in addition to classrooms, not as classrooms and technically shouldn’t add to capacity at all. Let’s work a real example. Let’s imagine a nice little rural elementary school which has one classroom for each ofiK, SK and grades 1 through 6. There is also a small library and a resource room used for music/French/computers, etc. The Elementary Teachers Union of Ontario has published their own advice for the ideal number of students in each of these classrooms.

So our ideal rural school would have, according to the most knowledgeable professionals, a total capacity of 145 students. But what is the capacity of this school according to the Ministry and therefore UCDSB? Using the formula above, which includes adding 12 extra students for each resource room, plus using the maximum amount of students in Kindergarten allowed by the province (26 pupils), the board and Ministry would calculate that this school’5 capacity is 214 pupils. 214 vs. 145! So this school which the teacher’s union would consider to be at 100% capacity board and Ministry as being at 67% capacity. In other words, at riskfor closure. —

is described by the

If you don’t want to use the teachers’ numbers, you can use the Ministry’s own numbers. Class sizes are generally capped at 26 for kindergarten and 20 for primary grades. So if this school had the maximum number of students, it would still have only 172 students, and it would still be considered at only 84% capacity by the Ministry. So these “10,000 empty student spaces” don’t exist in the real world. But as a bureaucratic device to calculate capacity, these 10000 empty spaces have the very real power to shut down schools.

A letter of support from Lanark County Rural Ontario is facing a critical social and structural concern the closing of rural schools. There’s an alarming trend of local school boards closing low enrollment schools without considering the well-being of those students, their families and communities. Schools are an integral part of the economic and service infrastructure necessary for prosperity in our agricultural and rural communities. —

Lanark County residents, parents, elected officials and the OFA share the concern of school closures a result of cutbacks in operating expenses that’s done at the expense of rural students and communities. Lanark County opposes school closure decisions that are made without the consideration of critical factors that impact the students, rural families and communities. —

Too often important decisions like these are made without critical consideration to transportation, student employment opportunities and parental involvement. Rural school closures mean students are faced with lengthy bus rides to larger schools in urban areas. Hours could be spent each day on a bus, impacting students’ attentiveness, learning potential and ability to participate in extracurricular activities. Longer commutes to school also impact students’ opportunities for after school and part-time jobs. Every community urban and rural relies on part-time student positions to run their businesses. Student jobs are also an integral part of gaining job experience and saving for post-secondary education. Schools increasingly rely on parent volunteers, and those volunteers will be lost if they can’t travel the greater distance to a larger urban school. —

—

Rural schools are also central to the community, acting as hubs for social, service and athletic events and community groups that rely on school buildings. We can’t compromise the welfare and best interests of our next generation and our rural communities with school closures that do not account for all costs. Rural Ontario values its children and their education. Leslie Drynan, CMO County Clerk / Deputy CAO Lanark County
