EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government of Canada announced in the Economic Action Plan 2012 the creationof a Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) program to provide $150 millionfor the repair and improvement of community infrastructure facilities across the country.The Program is intended to improve the quality of community facilities while alsoproviding economic benefits, including supporting job creation. On July 5th, 2012, it wasannounced that FedDev Ontario will be delivering this program in Ontario, and that theallocation for Ontario will be $49.6 million over two years.

If this funding were to be distributed solely to municipalities, and allocated on apopulation basis, the City of Hamilton's portion of the funding would be approximately$2 million. However, the CIIF program is application and merit based, and also allowsnot-for-profit groups to make applications, so it is possible that the City itself may notreceive that level of funding.

Recipients may receive a non-repayable contribution (grant) of up to 50 per cent ofeligible costs, however priority may be given to those projects that require a ClIFcontribution of only 33.3 per cent. The maximum contribution from CIIF per project is$1,000,000, and total funding from all federal sources may not exceed 50 per cent oftotal eligible project costs.



The purpose of the CIIF program is for the rehabilitation or improvement, includingexpansion (of less than 50% of existinq gross floor area), of existing infrastructure thatis non-commercial in nature. The following project categories are eligible for fundingunder the CIIF:

° Community Centreso Cultural Centres• Parks, recreational trails such as fitness trails, bike paths, and other types of

trails• Libraries• Recreational facilities including local arenas, gymnasia, swimming pools, sports

fields, tennis, basketball, volleyball, or other sport specific courts, golf courses,ski hills or other types of recreational facilities

• Tourism facilities• Docks• Other existing community infrastructure assets that have a local community

impact, such as local roads, drinking water treatment and distribution systems,connectivity and broadband, local airports, solid waste management andwastewater infrastructure

FedDev Ontario has also outlined the selection criteria they will be using, as well aspriorities they will be focusing on when they go through the process of selectingprojects. The priorities they've noted are as follows:

• Priority will be given to projects that can demonstrate anticipated economicbenefits to their community, including the potential for job creation and the use ofnew technologies and innovation

° Priority may be given to those projects that require a CIIF contribution of only33.3%

The other selection criteria are:

• Project Readiness - required to provide information necessary to determine if theproject is construction-ready and will be substantially completed by March 31,2014

° Incrementality - required to attest that the work to be undertaken is anincremental construction activity that would not otherwise have been constructedby March 31, 2014 were it not for CIIF funding

Extent to which other fundinq is leveraqed - Ability for a project to leverage66.6% of project funding from other sources may be considered during projectselection

Vision: To be the best place in Canada to raise a child, promote innovation, engage citizens and provide diverse economic opportunities,Values: Honesty, Accountability, Innovation, Leadership, Respect, Excellence, Teamwork


Technolo,qy and Innovation - will be assessed on the use of innovativetechnologies, new technologies, processes, or materials used in the project (ex.Energy efficiency, green initiatives, electronic notification systems)

= Partnerships - will be assessed on the extent to which community-basedpartnerships have been formed for the use of the facility

FedDev Ontario requires that rankings be provided in situations where there aremultiple project applications. A cross-section of staff have reviewed the applications forcompleteness, and SMT has provided an initial ranking based on the ability of eachproject to meet each of the criteria of the CIIF program as outlined. Whether or not eachproject meets each of the proposed criteria has been indicated on the project listingincluded as Appendix "A" to Report FCS12061.

It should be noted that project application(s) and supporting documentation must besubmitted or postmarked no later than 5pm EDT on August 24, 2012. Applications to theCIIF program require a Council resolution to endorse the applications, which will beaccomplished by approval of recommendation (a) to Report FCS12061.

Funding of the City's share of projects will depend on the projects approved by FedDevOntario. Some projects may be able to make use of WIP funding or DevelopmentCharges, and other funding may be required from the unallocated capital reserve. Oncethe projects have been selected, staff can report back on the funding strategy.

Request from Robert Land Community Association (Appendix "D" to ReportFCS12061)

In consultation with the City Manager's Office potential projects through theNeighbourhood Development Strategy were explored. A review of the neighbourhoodaction plans currently in development indicated one potential project that met the criteriaof the CIIF at this time. The Eva Rothwell Resource Centre (formerly the Robert Landschool) in the Keith Neighbourhood (Ward 3) is in need of capital investments toimprove accessibility. As this is not a City owned asset nor does the City have a longterm lease agreement at the Centre the application for funding under the CIIF wouldneed to come from the Board of Directors of the Robert Land Community Association.The total cost of the project is $450,000 and in order to assist this application staff are inagreement that a commitment by the City of one-third ($150,000) of the funding for thisproject should be considered. The City's funding would be allocated from theNeighbourhood Strategy Fund. The Eva Rothwell Resource Centre is located in one ofthe City's priority neighbourhoods and it is an identified asset by the residents involvedin developing the Keith Neighbourhood Action Plan. While the final plan is comingbefore Council in September, the CIIF offers an opportunity to leverage investment bythe City towards an identified neighbourhood asset.



The Centre is a hub of the neighbourhood and is heavily used by the community.Programs and services operating from the Centre include recreation programs forchildren and youth, nutrition programs, educational support programs, a clothing andfurniture bank and a summer camp program. In 2010-2011 over 35,000 visits weremade to the Centre. The City of Hamilton worked with the Board and staff of the Centreto commission a building condition assessment to determine the capital needs of thisfacility. Since the completion of that report in October, 2011 a number of capitalimprovements have occurred in the facility. Accessibility remains a key component ofthe capital plan. Applying to the CIIF provides an opportunity to start this work earlier.

Alternatives for Consideration - Not Applicable

FINANCIAL / STAFFING / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS (for Recommendation(s) only) l

Financial: Any projects that receive funding under the CIIF program which were alreadyincluded in the tax capital forecast will mean that they may occur earlier, and either thefunding may be required earlier, or, other projects may have to be shifted, in order tofund the City's share. Receipt of funding under the CIIF program for any projects whichhave been included in the tax capital forecast will allow the existing funding envelope tobe stretched further.

For any project that receives funding under the CIIF program which does not appear inthe City's tax capital forecast and requires a contribution from the City represents anincremental cost to the City. As a result, the City will require additional funding to befound, or other projects to be shifted within or outside of the 10-year capital forecast inorder to make available the necessary funding.

Subject to the timing of the announcement of approved projects, the financing ofapproved projects will be included within the 2013 Capital Budget. Otherwise, staff willreport back separately regarding the funding strategy for the City's share of approvedprojects.

During the 2011 Capital Budget deliberations, Council chose to park project7101058703 - Hamilton Culture and Protocol Centre at Auchmar and place the fundingin the unallocated capital reserve (108020) until further review of the project wascompleted and reported back to Council. Should the Auchmar Exterior Stabilizationproject receive approval under the CIIF program, this parked funding would cover mostof the City's share of the project.

The Neighbourhood Strategy Fund (2051255204) was developed for the purpose ofprojects such as the rehabilitation of the Eva Rothwell Resource Centre, and hassufficient budget available to cover this cost. Staff have recommended funding for this

Vision: To be the best place in Canada to raise a child, promote innovation, engage citizens and provide diverse economic opportunities.Values: Honesty, Accountability, Innovation, Leadership, Respect, Excellence, Teamwork


project to be considered at this time as it provides an opportunity to leverage investmentby the City towards an identified neighbourhood asset.

Staffing: Any additional project management or administrative tasks required forprojects approved will be absorbed within the existing staff complement. Unlike pastfunding program, there is a limited ability to recover some staffing costs under the CIIFprogram (as outlined on page 7).

Legal: Funding agreements will be required for projects approved for funding under theCIIF program. The terms and conditions will require any project that is approved to besubstantially completed and eligible costs spent by March 31, 2014. Any project thatdoes not meet the substantial completion deadline may have its funding in whole or inpart by Canada, and Canada shall have the right to be repaid any funding that has beenadvanced, in whole or in part.

Additionally, FedDev Ontario requires that a resolution from Council endorsing theproject applications be submitted at the time of application.

I HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (Chronology of events) 1The Government of Canada announced in the Economic Action Plan 2012 the creationof a Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) program to provide $150 millionfor the repair and improvement of community infrastructure facilities across the country.The program is intended to improve the quality of community facilities while alsoproviding economic benefits, including supporting job creation. On July 5th, 2012, it wasannounced that FedDev Ontario will be delivering this program in Ontario, and that theallocation for Ontario will be $49.6 million over two years.

The most similar program to this to be offered recently was the Recreation InfrastructureCanada (RInC) program. Both programs allowed for not-for-profits to also apply forfunding. Under the RInC program, the City received funding for projects worth $10.25million while other eligible recipients under that program within the borders of Hamiltonreceived funding for projectsworth $9.4 million; so it should be expected that ourapplications will compete with those from other eligible recipients for funding.

The eligible and ineligible costs remain similar to what they have been under pastfunding programs such as the RInC and Infrastructure Stimulus Fund programs.

Eligible costs under the CIIF program are as follows:

,, Costs that are incurred between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2014



• Costs to rehabilitate or improve fixed capital assets of community infrastructure,including expansions

• Fees paid to professionals, technical personnel, consultants and contractorsspecifically engaged for the purpose of the rehabilitation or expansion project

• Costs of environmental assessments, monitoring and follow-up programs asrequired by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) or equivalentlegislation

• Costs of any public announcement and official ceremony or of any temporary orpermanent signage that includes the cost of creation and posting of signage

• Other costs that are considered to be direct and necessary for the successfulimplementation of the project and that are approved in advance

• Employee and other incremental costs - the incremental costs of the recipient'semployees or its direct costs may be included in the eligible costs under thefollowing conditions:

• The recipient is a local government• The recipient confirms and substantiates that it is not economically

feasible to tender a contract• Employees or equipment are employed directly in respect of the work

that would have been the subject of the contract• The costs were approved in advance and are included in the contribution

agreement

Ineligible costs under the CIIF program include the following:

• Project costs incurred before April 1, 2012 or after March 31, 2014• Moveable equipment, including motorized vehicles, furniture and sports

equipment• Services or work that is normally provided by the recipient or a related party• Salaries and other employment benefits of any employees of the recipient except

as indicated under Employee and other incremental costs above• A recipient's overhead costs, its direct or indirect operating or administrative

costs, and more specifically its costs related to planning, engingeering,architecture, supervision, management and other activities normally carried outby the recipient's staff

• The cost of feasibility and planning studies• Taxes, such as GST and HST, for which the recipient is eligible for a tax rebate

and all other costs eligible for rebates• The cost of land or any interest therein, and related costs• Cost of leasing of equipment by the recipient except for as indicated in eligible

costs above• Legal fees• Routine maintenance costs



• Project administration costs that involve the salaries and benefits of existing staffand general administration costs unrelated to project implementation

City Manager's OfficeCommunity ServicesCorporate ServicesPlanning & Economic DevelopmentPublic Works

ANALYSIS / RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION(include Performance Measurement/Benchmarking Data, if applicable)

There is only a very short timeline from the announcement of this program, to whenprojects are required to be submitted along with a council resolution endorsing theirapplication. Staff have had only a short time to review projects already submitted to thecapital budget and new incremental projects submitted for consideration under the CIIFprogram. The program was announced on July 5th, 2012, and the Council resolution isrequired on August 16th in order to allow applications to be submitted prior to the August24th deadline.

In order to come up with an initial project ranking, staff used the priorities and criteriaoutlined by FedDev Ontario to suggest what would be most likely to receive funding,and also considered the impacts of the projects on both the operating and capitalbudgets, and linkages to City priorities. The impacts on the Capital Budget have beenindicated in Appendix "A" to Report FCS12061, and the impact on the Operating Budgetcan be found in Appendix "B" to Report FCS12061.

Staff have received indications of funding commitments from Community groups for twoprojects. The Ancaster Senior Achievement Centre (ASAC) Advisory Board hasprovided a letter, included in Appendix "C" to Report FCS12061, to commit to funding



$500,000 towards the project at the ASAC. Commitments to the J.L. Grightmire ArenaRenovations project have been discussed with the Dundas Hockeyville LegacyCommittee, indicating a contribution of $600,000, but at the time of writing this report,no commitment had been made in writing.

With respect to the request from the Robert Land Community Association for theirproject to rehabilitate the Eva Rothwell Resource Centre, the Centre is a hub of theneighbourhood and is heavily used by the community. Programs and servicesoperating from the Centre include recreation programs for children and youth, nutritionprograms, educational support programs, a clothing and furniture bank and a summercamp program. In 2010-2011 over 35,000 visits were made to the Centre. The City ofHamilton worked with the Board and staff of the Centre to commission a buildingcondition assessment to determine the capital needs of this facility. Since thecompletion of that report in October, 2011 a number of capital improvements haveoccurred in the facility. Accessibility remains a key component of the capital plan.Applying to the CIIF provides an opportunity to start this work earlier.

The Centre is in need of capital investments to improve accessibility. As this is not aCity owned asset nor does the City have a long term lease agreement at the Centre theapplication for funding under the CIIF would need to come from the Board ofDirectors of the Robert Land Community Association. The total cost of the project is$450,000 and in order to assist this application staff are in agreement that acommitment by the City of one-third ($150,000) of the funding for this project should beconsidered. The City's funding would be allocated from the Neighbourhood StrategyFund. The Eva Rothwell Resource Centre is located in one of the City's priorityneighbourhoods and it is an identified asset by the residents involved in developing theKeith Neighbourhood Action Plan. While the final plan is coming before Council inSeptember, the CIIF offers an opportunity to leverage investment by the City towards anidentified neighbourhood asset.

Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) Project Information Project Title: Hamilton Children's Museum Expansion Project Category: Cultural Centres Project Description (limit to 100 words): The Hamilton Children's Museum operates in a converted farmhouse in a large city park. This project would add additional public program space and related services. Previous studies have confirmed that area adjacent to the existing facility will support an additional structure. All of the increased space will publicly accessible and programmed space. The total increased area is less than 50% of the existing facility and is, therefore, within the eligibility requirements of the grant. Describe problems or objectives this project will address (limit to 100 words): The museums's current public space is three small rooms and a converted school portable. Nevertheless, 25-30,000 people visit every year. At peak times, demand exceeds the fire code occupancy for the site and visitors are turned away. A significantly larger facility was included in the Gage Park Master Plan, estimated at $7M dollars. Pending approval of that level of funding, this expansion provides an alternative or interim solution to meet the demonstrated public need. Describe economic benefits project will provide to community (limit to 100 words): The museum is already a very heavily used public facility. The upgrade will increase public space and generate a net revenue to the City. It will improve the site's financial sustainability, functionality and accessibility as a public institution. Improved functionality will increase visitation and programming. Expanding the facility increases community services in a high needs neighbourhood will improve the quality of life and make Hamilton a more attractive city to live and play. Describe project elements that address technology and Innovation (limit to 100 words): Children's museums have a history of being at the forefront of non-formal and early childhood learning. Unlike other learning institutions, they are not limited by collections or curricula and have the freedom to innovate. New approaches in family-oriented and early years learning are developed and tested at children's museums and then applied in more traditional settings. The Hamilton Children's Museum has long been an incubator of programming now in place at all City of Hamilton museums. Describe extent to which partnerships will be formed (limit to 100 words): The site is strongly supported by local community and adjacent high needs neighourhood. Many families use the site on a weekly, even daily basis. No formal partnership with the Friends of Gage Park exists but the organization has been consistently supportive of museum expansion within park.

Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) Project Information Project Title: Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum Expansion Project Category: Cultural Centres Project Description (limit to 100 words): The project will expand the existing permanent and temporary exhibit galleries at the museum and create a separate small multi-purpose space for school programs and other events. The project will also upgrade the public services and make the entire facility wheelchair accessible. The original house will be retained but internal spaces will be modified. New accessible spaces will be added. Describe problems or objectives this project will address (limit to 100 words): Fieldcote is housed in a small post-war cottage. Artifacts are crammed into the attic, there is no separate permanent exhibit and most of the site is inaccessible to those with mobility issues. Yet, Fieldcote is widely used by the community for programs, research and events. In the extreme instance, public meetings are held in an exhibit room during open hours because no other accessible space exists. This expansion will greatly enhance the effectiveness of Ancaster's community museum. Describe economic benefits project will provide to community (limit to 100 words): Fieldcote, both the buildings and park are important and sought after amenities within the Ancaster community. The project will enhance the financial sustainability of the site by increasing visitation and revenue through expanded programming and accessibility. A more sustainable cultural institution improves the quality of life and attractiveness of Hamilton and Ancaster as places to live and work. Describe project elements that address technology and Innovation (limit to 100 words): Increasing accessibility within heritage sites, especially in retrofitted structures requires highly creative design. Conventional design either uses too much space, is technically impractical or becomes poorly integrated into the overall site design. Often, heritage and accessibility seem incompatible. However, creative solutions are possible and retrofit projects like this showcase how heritage and accessibility can co-exist and make use of high efficiency building materials. Describe extent to which partnerships will be formed (limit to 100 words): Fieldcote is strongly supported by the community. Staff and an architect have developed the concept design over the last two years in consultation with community stakeholder group starting with a needs development process that came from the group. Fieldcote has benefited from a long standing fundraising support from Ancaster organizations, including the Ancaster Historical Society , Ancaster Rotary Club and the Horiticultural Society.

Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) Project Information Project Title: Dundurn National Historic Site Coach House Upgrade Project Category: Cultural Centres Project Description (limit to 100 words): The project will upgrade the existing event reception space at Coach House to improve its food serving capability and, through the re-organization of other internal spaces, create additional rental space for revenue generation. Existing services (such as washrooms which no longer meet accessibility standards) will be upgraded. This is the second phase of a building conversion begun 3 years ago. Concepts are in place and the project can be mobilized very quickly. Describe problems or objectives this project will address (limit to 100 words): One of the goals of the Coach House at Dundurn is to maximize revenue generation for the site through room rentals, wedding ceremonies and related functions. The current facility is not optimally designed for this purpose. By creating a second floor serving kitchen, the upstairs spaces become more attractive and by re-arranging administrative space, an additional meeting room can be created, allowing the site to operate two functions simultaneously and increase visitation and revenue. Describe economic benefits project will provide to community (limit to 100 words): The upgrade will increase the available revenue generating space in the building and will generate a net revenue to the City. It will improve the site's financial sustainability and its functionality and accessibility as a public institution. Improved functionality will increase visitation, programming and revenue. Strengthening Dundurn as an iconic heritage institution in Hamilton, improves the quality of life in the City and increases Hamilton's attractiveness as a place to live and work. Describe project elements that address technology and Innovation (limit to 100 words): An important element of the project will be the replacement of existing heating and air condition units with newer higher efficiency equipment. In addition, existing washrooms will be upgraded to meeting new AODA standards. Achieving both within a heritage structure will require creative and innovative design. Describe extent to which partnerships will be formed (limit to 100 words): No direct partnerships are identified for this project.

Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) Project Information Project Title: Dundurn National Historic Site Exteror Shutter Restoration Project Category: Cultural Centres Project Description (limit to 100 words): The project will restore the original shutters which existed on the Castle until WWI. The design of the shutters is well known and enough of the original hardware survives that an accurate restoration is very feasible. Returning the shutters will have a dramatic effect on the appearance of the house and, more than any other planned restoration project, return the Castle to its appearance during the MacNab family era. Describe problems or objectives this project will address (limit to 100 words): The mandate of Dundurn is to preserve and interpret the national historic site. In practice, this means preserving and, sometimes, re-creating the site as it existed when the MacNab family lived there. The shutters were not only functional (retaining heat in the winter and shutting the sun out in the summer); they were a key architectural element. Restoring the shutters will greatly improve our ability to preserve and interpret Dundurn as the architect designed it and as the MacNabs knew it. Describe economic benefits project will provide to community (limit to 100 words): Heritage conservation is at the core of sustainable development in general and sustainable economic development in particular. For many Hamiltonians, Dundurn is an icon. It is part of the identity of the city. It is a site in which Hamiltonians take considerable pride. Strengthening and enhancing Dundurn as an iconic heritage institution in Hamilton, improves the quality of life in the City and increases Hamilton's attractiveness as a place to live and work. Describe project elements that address technology and Innovation (limit to 100 words): The project will return some improvements in building efficiency since the shutters will be fully functional. Describe extent to which partnerships will be formed (limit to 100 words): The project does not anticipate any direct partnerships.

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:

In reference to report FCS 12061 which will be discussed at the General Issues Committeeon August 13, 2012, the Robert Land Community Association would like to request yoursupport and partnership for our application to the Community Infi'astructure ImprovementFund (CIIF). Specifically we would request that you endorse our project and thi'ough yourNeighbourhood Development Strategy commit $150,000 in partnership funding. Thisfunding will be matched by $150,000 from the Robert Land Community Association and arequest through the CIIF for an additional $150,000.

The $450,000 investment will be used to help the Eva Rothwell Resource Centre (ERRC)at 460 Wentworth Street North to become more accessible to the community. The EvaRothwell Resource Centre is located in the former Robert Land School. This heavily usedcommunity centre has limited accessibility which is hampering our ability to meet theneeds of the neighbourhood. In fact, much needed health services have been unable tolocate at the ERRC due to the accessibility issues.

This investment will allow us to install an elevator to allow access to all four levels of thefacility. In addition we will create an accessible parking and entrance area from the rearand construct barrier free washroom facilities. Finally, we will re-orient the main entranceto the facility mad create a lobby area that is inviting and accessible to all.

Staff from the ERRC have been pleased to participate in the Neighbourhood ActionPlanning process led by the residents of Keith Neighbourhood and facilitated by the Cityof Hamilton. We have enjoyed working more closely with the neighbours, City staff andCouncillor Morelli to develop a Neighbourhood Action Plan. We are committed to doingour palÿ to make the Keith Neighbourhood a strong community. When the Robert Landschool closed ha 2004 the neighbours rallied to save the building so that it could remain ahub of the neighbourhood. The variety of programs and services provided in the ERRCtoday is a testament to how much the neighbourhood values this facility.

While the full plan for the Keith Neighbourhood will be launched in September, we havean opportunity to begin investing now in the Keith Neighbourhood through our applicationto the CIIF. Better yet, this application is a leveraging opportunity where each of thepartners can multiply their investment. We understand this to be a key objective of theNeighbourhood Development Strategy.

We thank you for your consideration of this request. Your pm'tnership will strengthen ourapplication and further the legacy of this important facility in the Keith Neighbourhood.

Sincerely, /] (ÿ ,ÿ
