Page 3: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Committee discussed the SLCEDC presentation that took place during the June 17, 2019 meeting, especially in light of the Township of Leeds & Thousand Islands motion to notify the SLCEDC of their intent to leave the Commission in a years' time. The Mayor noted that he and other representatives present during the SLCEDC AGM held on June 26 were provided a detailed closed session report with respect to business development. Members suggested that Committee/Council may want to consider holding a closed session discussion to receive further details.

Members commented on the recent presentation and lack of detailed information provided at the meeting. Members discussed whether the SLCEDC was a duplication of service considering the UCLG has an Economic Development Department which has assisted in facilitating business growth in the past. There was a brief discussion with respect to the idea of focusing future growth and development along the Highway 416 corridor instead of Highway 401 and St. Lawrence corridor. Members commented on the lack of access to information on the SLCEDC website and social media.

Committee highlighted that the annual $28,000 given to the SLCEDC is a significant portion of the Township economic development budget and noted the Provincial government's comments that municipalities should seek efficiencies. The Mayor suggested that the discussion be deferred until after the planned August 7 SLCEDC closed session meeting. It was noted that the Mayor may report to Committee in closed session following the August 7 meeting to provide an update with respect to SLCEDC structure and business development.

Members noted that at the time of the SLCEDC creation the Township Council understood that the SLCEDC Board would be focusing on long-term results and benefits to the area, not instant business development. There was consensus from Committee to defer the discussion until after the SLCEDC August 7 meeting.

7. Action/Information Items

a) Emergency Management By-law

Committee reviewed the report and asked for clarification with respect to the number of items currently completed on the checklist. It was noted that the "x" indicates the items completed on the checklist of approximately 85 items, compared to what was once only 1 0 items. Committee commented on the burdensome requirements of the annual emergency management reporting and how various municipalities tackle the burden.

Members discussed the possibility of municipalities partnering together to hire a consultant to ensure that the reporting is completed to the satisfaction of the OFMEM. It was noted that this proposed by-law represents additional

Page 4: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

efficiencies as the new by-law encompasses 3 previous by-laws. Committee discussed if the task should be handled at the UCLG level, with a county wide plan to encompass all of the municipalities and take the reporting burden away from the municipalities.

Members discussed how the UCLG and municipalities currently duplicate efforts with respect to the emergency management report and plans. It was noted that the local municipalities must maintain control during local emergency events. Members noted that under the provincial provisions, each municipality must complete the requirements, unless it was a county/region approach, such as Prince Edward County, which does not have municipalities, only the County authority. Committee confirmed that group training sessions and scenarios will be organized to meet the requirements.

Moved by: S. Dillabough seconded by: H. Cameron that Committee recommends that Council adopt the Emergency Plan by-law.

b) znd Quarter Building Report

Carried

Committee reviewed the report and asked for clarification with respect to why the agricultural permits are currently being captured in the industrial category. It was noted that staff are working with the software company to correct the software error.

c) znd Quarter Treasury Report & Reserve Update

Committee reviewed the report and enquired about the outstanding balance for the front end loader lease. It was noted that only a partial payment is left outstanding and would be completed by the end of June. Members confirmed that the balances showing on the reserve and reserve fund report are the post audit amounts.

d) znd Quarter Budget Variance Report

Committee reviewed the report and asked for clarification with respect to the subtotal formatting. Members enquired what is considered as overhead expenses in the Public Works department. It was noted that heating, hydro and salaries are what make up much of the overhead expenses. Members briefly discussed the status of the arena chiller, Galop Canal Rail Bridge, new SNC dock in Cardinal and Walker St rehabilitation. Members made suggestions with respect to the format of the capital projects chart, specifically to replace "recommendation" with "current status".

e) 2019 OCIF Formula Based Grant

Page 5: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Moved by: T. Deschamps seconded by: H. Cameron that Committee recommends that Council directs the Treasurer to set up a reserve fund account for the receipt of OCIF formula based funding to be used on future eligible capital projects that are approved by Council.

Carried

8. Inquiries/Notices of Motion

Mayor Sayeau enquired about the agenda prep document that is prepared by staff, specifically with respect to when certain items currently shown as "TBD" may be ready for Committee review. It was noted that the Senior Management Team reviews and sets priorities for the listed items, however, Council may request specific items to be brought forward on a particular schedule.

9. Mayor's Report

Mayor Sayeau reported on the following: • Provided update with respect to the EORN funding announcement • Discussed the Port of Johnstown rail bridge construction and how it may

affect traffic, specifically if there is an accident on highway 401 • Discussion took place with respect to if the Township and/or Port

should consider hiring contract or volunteer traffic control members when traffic is being redirected along County Road 2. It was noted that the Highway Traffic Act states that only police and construction persons can direct traffic. It was noted that the contractor for the Port rail bridge project should have trained flag people available if required. Members suggested that the Port GM contact the contractor to discuss traffic control measures.

• Provided an update with respect to the International Joint Commission (IJC) addressing of high water levels.

• Discussed IJC Plan 2014 with respect to high-water levels • Met with the Assistant Deputy Minister on July 2 in Toronto to discuss the

5. Delegations and Presentations

a) Queryfox- Joe Baptista

Mr. Baptista, Co-founder of Queryfox presented Committee with an overview of a new complaint management software, Queryfox. Mr. Baptista outlined the key drivers, including tracking the number of requests, trending, response time, service level, communication level, additional resources, and if the public complainant was satisfied with the resolution. Mr. Baptista outlined Queryfox's solution approach that has been developed and geared towards municipal service requests and complaints.

Mr. Baptista highlighted various modules to enhance communication, track trending, zone mapping of complaint area, and analyze public satisfaction rate. Mr. Baptista provided an overview of the dashboard module, noting that both staff and Council can access the dashboard. Mr. Baptista noted that Queryfox intends to develop additional modules focused on finance and asset management

Committee enquired about similar software, access to the dashboard, and the cost of the software. Mr. Baptista noted that there is similar software available, however Queryfox has been developed specifically to handle municipal issues. He advised that both staff and council could access the dashboard, and while the cost is not yet fully calculated, Queryfox estimates that it may be the equivalent to one full time employee. Mr. Baptista noted that Queryfox proposes to start a Beta program with other municipalities within the UCLG to test the program for a number of months before fees are charged to the municipalities.

There was a brief discussion with respect to process mapping. Mr. Baptista noted that the process is intended to eliminate duplication of staff efforts and provides continuous updates on the issue to the person that submitted the complaint

Committee thanked Mr. Baptista for the presentation.

b) Request for Road Closure & Conveyance - Bill Holzman

Mr. Holzman noted that he is here to represent the Dobbie family and answer questions with respect to item 7a.

Page 9: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

a) Request for Road Closure & Conveyance - Ventnor

Staff provided an overview of the report and noted the required by-laws to convey the land to the applicant and also to deem the land to be no longer part of a Registered Plan of Subdivision. Mr. Holzman noted that the applicant is willing to merge the parcels of land together to clean up existing issues with respect to the location of the septic system. Committee reviewed the report and confirmed the location of the septic systems and that the closure of conveyance of the unopened road allowance would not affect any other neighbours.

Members noted their concern with respect to possibly land locking the triangular parcel of lands that houses a barn behind the unopened road allowance. It was noted that the applicant and owner of the land intends to merge the triangular piece of land with the farm land north of the barn so it would not be land locked as a result of the closure of the unopened road allowance.

Moved by: P. Sayeau seconded by: J. Hunter that Committee recommends that Council agree to close that portion of Catherine Street between Lots 7 and 8 Plan 15 and convey it to the owners of 1530 and 1526 Ventnor Road. This closure and conveyance is conditional upon: 1. The ownership of Lots 5, 6, and 7 being vested in the same name; and 2. Adoption of a deeming by-law by the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal to

merge the parcels within Plan 15; and 3. The owner merging the triangular parcel identified as PIN 68139-0571 (L T)

with the rest of the farm identified as PIN 68139-0327. Carried

b) 2nd Quarter Fire Report

Committee reviewed the report and discussed the crude oil by rail training, specifically with respect to how a crude oil by rail accident may be handled in the area. Members reviewed burn permit mapping and confirmed that the colours represent where more burns have taken place in the 2nd quarter.

Committee highlighted the annual firefighter games, noting that the ECFD finished 4th overall. Committee briefly discussed the current number of firefighters available for calls during daytime work hours.

c) 2nd Quarter Facility Maintenance Report

Committee reviewed the report and noted that Members have received compliments with respect to the steps at the Cardinal pool. Members enquired if staff has inspected the erosion along Legion Way. It was noted that staff have reviewed and identified areas where work will need to be done.

Page 3 of 8 Committee of the Whole- PW/ES/F July 15, 2019

Page 10: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Committee discussed the continuing high-water levels and how it is impacting the installation of the new SNC dock and other municipal docks. Members enquired if the docks can be installed even though the water level is too high for the floating docks to be level with the other permanent docks. It was noted that staff will be consulting with SNC to determine next steps and see if modifications can be made in order for the docks to be safely installed. It was noted that if the docks are installed in their current state, it would result in safety and liability issues for the Township. Members noted that more "no wake" signage should be installed as a result of boats speeding in the Galop Canal.

d) 2nd Quarter Recreation/Facility Stats Report

Committee reviewed the report and asked for clarification with respect to the lack of use at the Cardinal ball diamonds. It was noted that many children now attend the Johnstown ball program, while others are participating in different sports. It was noted that there are very few bantam and midget baseball teams in the area. Members confirmed that the ball diamonds in Cardinal are still being maintained. Members discussed if one of the Cardinal diamonds would be big enough for a soccer field.

e) 2nd Quarter Operations Report

Committee reviewed the report and enquired how long the Towns hip has been using magnesium chloride as a dust suppressant. It was noted that magnesium chloride has been used for the past 5 years. Members asked for clarification with respect to the number of hours the grader is in operation. It was noted that 130km of grading would be the equivalent of approximately 2.5 weeks.

Committee enquired why the roadside mowing is late. It was noted that the delay is due to the work being completed for the Pittston Road project. Staff confirmed that the initial pass will be completed within the next 2 weeks.

f) Operational Efficiencies - Fire Department

Staff provided an overview of the report, noting that by switching to a single phone line and internet package for the Cardinal fire station and public works garage will result in an annual savings of $1,283.52.

g) Cost Saving Measures -Arena Telephone

Staff provided an overview of the report, noting that negotiating with Falcon Security to allow the main telephone line to house their information will enable the Township to cancel the second line, resulting in an annual savings of approximately $1 ,200.00.

Page 11: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

h) 5 Year Energy Plan Update

Staff provided an overview of the report, noting that the Township submits an annual report outlining energy savings. It was noted that the plan must be updated every 5 years. It was noted that the Township was able to reduce the overall energy consumption by 5% over the life of the last 5-year plan, which is also the goal for the new 5-year plan.

Committee reviewed the report and discussed the proposed projects for 2019-2023 to help reduce consumption. Members suggested that staff provide another annual report to be used as a consumption and cost savings comparator. Staff outlined the reporting requirements and noted that due to the report timing the 2016 report could be provided as a comparator to the 2017 report.

i) Industrial Park Water Sample Result

Staff provided an overview of the adverse water sample. It was noted that samples are currently collected at the Greenfield Ethanol Plant, in the washroom. Staff has requested that future samples be taken from the kitchen at the Greenfield Plant. It was noted that the sample may have been contaminated at the sample site or during lab testing which may have resulted in a false positive for coliforms.

Members confirmed that the sample was very unlikely to have been a source water issue. Staff confirmed that that Health Unit and Prescott Water Treatment Plant was contacted and additional samples were taken at Prysmian and new Wexford, then transported directly to the lab in Ottawa for testing, which confirmed that the water was clear of any contaminates. Members enquired about responsibility for the cost of any required flushing. It was noted that the Township would be responsible for the additional cost in most cases.

j) Memorandum of Understanding with SNC

Moved by: M. Packwood seconded by: P. Sayeau that Committee recommends that Council authorize a partnership agreement with South Nation Conservation (SNC) to complete flood mitigation measures at the Cardinal Water Treatment Plant through the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP).

Carried

k) Ontario Power Generation Licence Agreement

Members highlighted the positive effects of reducing the number of cormorants in the area.

Moved by: S. Dillabough seconded by: T. Deschamps that Committee recommends that Council pass a by-law to authorize a licence agreement with

Page 5 of 8 Committee of the Whole- PW/ES/F July 15, 2019

Page 12: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Ontario Power Generation for the purposes of cormorant control on lands owned by OPG.

Carried

I) Disposal of Surplus Goods- Pick-Up Truck

Staff provided an overview of the recommendation which envisions disposition through sealed bids. Committee reviewed the truck information and debated if the trucks should be taken to auctions. It was noted that the trucks may not be valuable enough to justify transporting the vehicles to various auctions in order to possibly receive only a small increase in final bid amounts. Members confirmed that the Township only accepts cash, debit and cheque as payment methods.

Moved by: P. Sayeau seconded by: T. Deschamps that Committee recommends that Council declare the items as surplus to the needs of the Township and authorize staff to dispose of the items in the most effective manner.

Carried

m) Grader Report Follow-Up

Committee reviewed the report and discussed the amount of gravel to surface treatment completed in the past few years. It was noted that if the Township determines that two graders are needed until 85% of the road network is paved, then an additional 35km needs to be completed. It was noted that 24-26km of gravel roads are able to be maintained by a single grader.

Committee briefly discussed the age of the graders and the possibility of the Township needing to invest funds for repairs and/or financing for a new grader in the future.

Moved by: J. Hunter seconded by: M. Packwood that Committee recommends that Council maintain (2) two motorized graders in the municipal fleet until at least 85% of the municipal road network is paved.

Carried

n) Fuel Management Report

Staff provided an overview of the report and noted that the fuel consumption is in line with the activities performed by the public works department and the expected fuel mileage for gasoline pickup trucks. Members commented on the report and the possible need for a more fulsome fuel management system. Staff noted that they are working to refine the current tracking mechanisms to capture additional details and monitor trends.

Modernization Fund Ideas

Background: On March 20, 2019, the provincial government announced that the Township would receive funds to "support small and rural municipalities' efforts to become more efficient and reduce expenditure growth in the longer term." The Township has since received funding in the amount of $584,335 which has been placed in a special reserve fund in accordance with Council direction.

Township Council met as Committee of the Whole on June 10 to discuss ideas of how these funds might be used. A recommendation from the GAO/Clerk was approved to issue an RFP for an internal service delivery review to be paid for out of the fund as a first step. The request for proposals closed on August 6 and four responses were received. Staff has analyzed the responses against the requirements of the RFP and a recommendation for award is on tonight's agenda.

Staff was requested to bring forward their ideas for how efficiencies and cost savings might be achieved.

Administration and Council:

Agenda Preparation and Distribution - an electronic agenda system will make preparation, distribution and use of the package simpler for staff, council and the public. This will save staff time, photocopying costs and mileage charges in preparing and delivering meeting materials. The agenda can be viewed by the public on the screens in the Council chambers, and Council members will be better able to follow the agenda on their devices which some are using now. The Deputy Clerk has researched and prepared a recommendation regarding this; it will be brought forward in September.

Subscriptions- there are a number of publications currently being subscribed to that can be received electronically at low or no cost. The Community Development Coordinator is reviewing this item.

Page 1 of 3

Page 16: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Fee Schedules -fees should be reviewed regularly to ensure that costs are being recovered. We have recently reviewed costs for 9-1-1 signs and entranceways and determined that the current fees are adequate. Recreation fees are reviewed annually. Building permit fees were recently changed and should be reviewed annually in future. Planning fees have not changed for some time and should be increased this year.

Municipal Accounting Software - municipal accounting software is very specialized. The current software system has been in place for many years and is restrictive in many ways, especially in regard to report production. Additionally, the software provider often requires us to wait to upgrade operating systems on the office computers, resulting in IT security concerns. There are products available that will allow far better integration of items like facility bookings, license and permit fee collection, receivable billings and payroll which will result in greater efficiency and less likelihood of errors or oversights which can result from having to manually transfer data from one system to another. The Treasurer is further researching the options available and a recommendation will be forthcoming.

Tax Billing -the current accounting software (Munisoft) has an e-billing module available for purchase which would permit tax bills to be sent by email, saving postage, printing, paper costs and staff time. The cost to purchase the module would be recovered reasonably quickly. This option will be further explored if the decision is made to stay with the current accounting software program.

Upgrades to Computers and Operating Systems -the report received from OnServe in May 2019 identified several upgrade needs within the organization for computers (hardware) and operating systems. Council suggested that those upgrades could be paid for from the modernization fund. Staff is developing a program and strategy for replacements and upgrades across the corporation to be sure we have a sustainable plan for the future.

Building and Bylaw

Filing -documents are scanned into Filehold in house, but large size drawings must be sent out to a contractor. This should be done annually to save storage space.

Public Complaint Portal- an online public complaint portal could see staff time saved, as the complainant would be doing most of the data entry. CityWide software should continue to be streamlined and potentially a module could be purchased to allow for a mobile app to get public input to the service request system.

Operations

Hardware/software upgrade at WWTP (SCADA) - replacement of three existing Rockwell SLC5 programable logic controls (PLC's) which are obsolete, and migrate PLC to existing Foxboro DCS system. This will provide state-of-the-art enhancements for increased functionality, improved performance and control, and will allow for pre­planned upgrades and increased maintainability.

Network and computer upgrades at Fire Stations -will allow Deputy Chiefs and Officers to enter training and incident data directly into CriSys. This will streamline the data entry process and ensure that up-to-date information is available, as well as reduce the possibility of data entry error.

Mobile data terminals for fire service - a tablet installed in a front-line apparatus can provide the following information directly to on-scene responders: building site plans, emergency response plans, mapping and routing, hydrant locations, building occupant information, standard operating guidelines, reference materials, real time weather data and weather alerts. Reports and equipment checks can be completed and updated instantly.

Sharing of resources (human and equipment) between neighboring municipalities where practicable.

Conclusions

Many of the staff suggestions relate to improvements in software and IT solutions. All of those come with an implementation cost and varying returns on investment. Staff will be preparing reports and recommendations in the coming months for each suggestion and Council will have an opportunity to review and decide upon each suggestion.

The internal service delivery review may reveal opportunities for improvement that will require some investment as well, and those outcomes will need to fit in to Council's priority setting.

Second Quarter, 2019- Building Permit Activity (revised)

The attached spreadsheet shows construction value and permit fees for issued permits to the end of the second quarter of 2019 while also showing the same information for 2018.

The attached spreadsheet has been revised from the previous report dated July 08, 2019 due to corrections made to the software by the software provided. The corrected spreadsheet shows Project Value and Permit Fee for Agricultural Projects that were incorrectly included in the Industrial category. Specifically, for the month of May a permit issued for an agricultural building with a Project Value of $100,000 and a Permit Fee of $1,280 has been removed from the Industrial category and now correctly included in the Agricultural category. Also updated is the Industrial Project Value for February due to a permit having been cancelled. A new permit application has been received for the project and is currently going through the permit approval process.

Although the total construction value and total permit fees to the end of the second quarter is less than 2018 totals for the same period, the number of permit applications remains consistent with 2018. The total number of permit applications received to the end of the second quarter for the years 2019, 2018 and 2017 is 55, 56 and 63 respectively.

2019 2nd Quarter By-law Information Item

/b

In the spring months, the focus has shifted to Clean Yards with a total of 35 requests for service in this area. This includes both received concerns and the By-Law Officer making observations during routine patrols. In the area of parking infractions, a total of 24 tickets were issued during this quarter. There were 17 concerns reported regarding animals.

A significant amount of all concerns and contact with property owners has been resolved with full compliance achieved. There are however, a few files that are being difficult to achieve compliance and several Provincial Offenses Notice have been issued.

The By-Law department will continue to be proactive to situations as routine patrols are conducted in our township and the emails and phone message continue to be received.

In regards to providing supporting statistical reports, we are currently working on enhancing our CityWide Service Request Management software to accurately report on by-law enforcement activity and improve the ease of use. We are also working on establishing a format for a statistical report that can be easily extracted from our Service Request Management software. With improvements in our Service Request Management software it is expected that staff will be able to efficiently record, track and update all complaints and requests for service that are received.

8.4 Pursuant to section 8.1 of this policy; once a Complaint has been filed, other than acknowledgement of receipt of the Complaint, no follow up, involvement, information or correspondence regarding the Complaint shall be provided to the complainant as the process is protected by the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

9.1 Once a signed complaint has been received on the appropriate form, it is entered into the Township's Service Request Management software, and given a file number for reference. The Officer will refer to the By-law in question to familiarize himself/herself before he/she conducts a site investigation.

The term "site investigation" is the general term that refers to any investigation that is conducted. Some occurrences may involve people rather than property and the investigation should be focused accordingly. The Officer will conduct an inspection and observe the state of the property as it relates to the complaint in question, recording as much detail as possible, and taking pictures when possible. The Officer must identify themselves and explain the purpose of their visit. When dealing with the occupant, the Officer is required to be firm, fair and polite.

The By-Law Enforcement Officer does not get involved in a neighborhood dispute or Civil matters.

If during the investigation the Officer is threatened in anyway, he or she will withdraw from the situation and contact the OPP immediately.

9.2 Once an Officer has completed their site investigation, their findings are recorded in the Township's Service Request Management software. Further investigation may be required to determine whether or not a contravention has taken place, including consulting with other Township managers. If at the end of the investigation, the Officer has found that no by-law contravention has been made, he or she will contact the complainant to inform them of the findings. The Township's Service Request Management software and other records will be updated to indicate that the file has been closed.

9.3 If an Officer has found that a by-law is being contravened, in addition to updating the Township's Service Request Management software and other records, he/she will provide an initial warning to the person by any of the following four (4) methods:

a. In person (if not at home will leave a written notification); b. By telephone (if phone number is available); c. Email (if email address is available); or d. Prepare and deliver a Notice of Violation by mail.

Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal By-Law Enforcement Policy- August 6, 2019 Page 8 of 10

Page 30: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Section 10. Notice of Violation {NOV}

10.1 The Notice of Violation is a letter that is sent by mail to the registered owner of the property involved with the contravention. The owner may not actually live at the property, but is legally responsible for it.

The NOV letter will include the roll number and physical address of the property, the name of all registered property owners, the by-law and section of the by-law under which the contravention has occurred, the nature of the offense being committed, the required action to be taken to comply with the by-law and a date of required compliance.

If no response is received within the time period specified in the Notice, the Officer will follow up to attempt to confirm delivery and to speak with the owner regarding the infraction and corrective measures. When deemed appropriate, the Officer may conduct a site visit with the owner or his/her agent to discuss remedial actions and timelines.

Section 11. Order to Comply {OTC}

11.1 The Township makes every effort to gain voluntary compliance. When this is not accomplished, an Order to Comply is issued to the owner and a final deadline is issued. The format used is similar to the NOV. If compliance is not gained within the time frame given in the OTC, the Officer may initiate court proceedings under Part I or Part Ill of the Provincial Offences Act. If the situation warrants, for example a threat to public health or safety, the Township may remove or resolve a non compliance at the property owner's expense.

Section 12. Issuance of Provincial Offence Fine

12.1 Part I {Set Fine)

Where set fine approval has been received for a by-law, the officer may issue a Provincial Offence Notice to the defendant. This is a ticket that is issued usually for a first time offence of a minor matter.

12.2 Part Ill {Information)

Part Ill information is used for more serious offences and for bylaws that do not have set fine approval (e.g. Zoning By-law). This proceeding starts with an information and summons package which is sworn before a Justice of the Peace and alleges an offence. The Justice of the Peace has the discretion to sign the information and summons. It is important to ensure court dates available with the Court office, Township's prosecutor, officers and any witnesses. All Part Ill documentation should be verified by the Township Prosecutor prior to being sworn before a Justice of the Peace.

Cyber Liability Insurance Coverage

Purpose: To obtain approval from Council to add Cyber Liability to the municipality's insurance package.

le

Background: There have been several reports in the media recently with respect to municipalities being targeted by "ransomware" or cyber extortion. Additionally, there are occasional reports of privacy breaches from entities that maintain people's personal information.

The municipality's insurance broker has provided a quote for cyber insurance specifically designed for the municipal sector. The Township takes many precautions, including a robust security package from our IT consultant, and staff training, to mitigate risks. The IT service provider has been consulted and advised that several of their clients have already purchased such insurance and that it is their opinion that the extra layer of security is warranted.

In addition to the insurance coverage, this policy provides access to expertise in responding to any incidents.

Policy Implications: None.

Financial Implications: This expenditure is unbudgeted for 2019 and while the impact is relatively small this year, it is anticipated that this expenditure will be added to the annual insurance cost in years to come.

The quote received for one year's coverage is $7,156.00 +PST ($7,728.48). This would be pro-rated over the remainder of the term (March 1, 2020) and result in an additional cost of $644.04 per month. Assuming an effective date of September 1, the 2019 impact is $2,576.16.

Page 36: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Purchase of Property from lngredion

Purpose: To obtain authorization to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with lngredion for vacant property on James Street in Cardinal.

Background: lngredion purchased the former Benson School Property in April of 2019. Included in that purchase was a vacant lot on the north side of James Street that had been used by the staff at the school for parking.

lngredion had inquired about fencing the entire School Board property, including the vacant lot. At that point, the municipality expressed interest in purchasing the vacant lot, rather than have it fenced off with industrial style fencing. The intent was that the property would remain as a parking lot, as off-street parking is somewhat limited in the village.

Policy Implications: The parcel is zoned MCR (Main Street Commercial Residential) and a parking area is a permitted use. The property is 38 x 91 (3,458 sq. ft.). It is undersized for either a commercial or residential use

Financial Implications: At the request of lngredion, and based on a recent appraisal done for the vacant lot on Dundas Street, an informal offer of $2.42 per square foot was forwarded to the plant manager. The total purchase price would be $8,382, which was deemed acceptable. There would be some additional costs for HST and legal fees. It is not anticipated that a survey will be necessary.

If the municipality proceeds with this purchase and proposed use, there will be minor annual costs for clearing snow and general maintenance.

The cost of the purchase could be drawn from the Cardinal Hydro Reserve Fund. The balance in the fund at June 30, 2019 was $113,928.56.

Page 1 of 2

Page 46: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Recommendation: That Committee recommends to Council that: 1. The Township enter into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with lngredion for

property described as Lot 245, Plan 25 in the Village of Cardinal. 2. The Mayor and CAO/Cierk be authorized to execute the required documents. 3. The total cost of the purchase be funded from the Cardinal Hydro Reserve Fund.

Background: In an effort to reduce the cost of communications and increase reliability, ES has terminated Bell cellular service and migrated to TELUS, who is the cellular supplier for all other Township services. Environmental Services had been with Bell because that was the only reliable cell service available in the area of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

On June 4th, staff installed a Weboost cellular phone signal amplifier in the Cardinal WWTP. The unit was tested and found to increase cell phone reception significantly. The effort was undertaken to provide for the reduction of the Bell cellular service and call-out pager associated operational costs by allowing migration to TELUS with a text­based call-out system.

Savings on base charges by switching to TELUS- $15.82/month/phone ($949.20/yr.).

TOWNSHIP OF EDWARDSBURGH CARDINAL INFORMATION ITEM

Committee: Administration & Finance

Date: August 12th, 2019

Department: Environmental Services

Topic: Cardinal Water Pollution Control Plant MECP Inspection Report

Background: On January 7th, 2019, an announced inspection of the Cardinal Water Pollution Control Plant was undertaken by Mr. Daniel White, Provincial Officer/Inspector for the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

The inspection examined compliance with various applicable Federal and Provincial Acts, Regulations, Permits, Training and Certification requirements. Plant effluent and V2 samples were collected by the Inspector to be analyzed at the MECP Laboratory.

The inspection found no areas of non-compliance with regulatory requirements. One (1) best practice issue and recommendation was identified. Staff is working on updating the biosolids contingency plan.

Attached is a copy of the Summery of Recommendations and Best Practice Issues for review. The full report can be made available to committee members upon request.

Ontario8 Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Inspection Report

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICE ISSUES

This section provides a summary of all recommendations and best practice issues identified during the inspection period. Details pertaining to these Items can be found In the body of the Inspection report. In the Interest of continuous improvement In the Interim, it is recommended that owners and operators develop an awareness of the following Issues and consider measures to address them.

1. The owner of the facility did not have written contingency plans or other management methods in place to be used in the event that the facility's sludge storage capacity was not sufficient. The inspector reviewed the contingency plan for the Cardinal WPCP and observed that the plan did not contain a written contingency plan, or other defined management methods to be used in the event the sewage works had insufficient sludge storage capacity, a malfunction of the ATAD occurs, or in the event that inclement weather interfered with the ability to utilize biosolids.

The Cardinal WPCP was designed with:

A 45 m3 waste activated sludge storage tank; A 1 0 m3 thickened waste activated sludge storage tank; Two 18.6 m3 ATAD sludge digesters I reactors; and A 712m3 digested sludge storage tank.

According to information provided in the 2017 and 2018 Annual Reports for the sewage works, the daily digested sludge production volume produced by the sewage works averages approximately is 2.00 m3/d. Taking into account the 712m3 digested sludge storage tank only, the Cardinal WPCP has approximately 356 days of on·site sludge storage.

The ATAD stabilized biosolids produced by the Cardinal WPCP is transported off.site by Terrapure (formerly Third High Farms) to alkaline stabilization plant where it is further stabilized Presently available biosolids storage at the Cardinal WPCP would be only limited by the ability of Terrapure to accept biosolids.

Recommendation:

Post inspection the inspector was advised by ECES a contingency plan was being developed to address a scenario under which Terrapure's ability to accept biosolids may be compromised, including obtaining tentative agreement from the City of Ottawa's Robert 0. Pickard WPCP to accept solids from the Cardinal WPCP on an emergency basis. ECEC also advised once a formal agreement has been obtained from the City of Ottawa's Robert 0. Pickard WPCP, a final contingency plan will be developed.

Johnstown Servicing Survey Results

To review the results of the Johnstown Servicing Survey

Background: At the April Committee meeting , Staff were directed to survey Johnstown property owners to learn whether or not these residents would be interested in completing a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study to determine the feasibility of bringing municipal services to these properties. The cost to complete the study was estimated at $150,000.

A letter was prepared and mailed to 204 property owners in Johnstown on June 24th . The letter clearly states that the cost to complete the study must be borne by the benefitting property owners, and asked the property owners if they would be willing to commit to spending up to $700 per property to complete the study. The letter included a postage paid envelope, addressed to the Township Office. An online survey option was also offered . Every effort was made to remove any barriers that would prevent property owners from providing feedback on the matter before the deadline of July 31 51 , 2019.

Committee had decided that in order for the project to proceed , the Township required 70% of the letters returned , and 85% of the returned letters to indicate a willingness to proceed with the MCEA study.

Results: The response rate from property owners was 53% (1 08 responses/204 mailed). Of the 108 responses , 87 property owners (81 %) indicated that they would not be willing to commit to spending up to $700 to complete the MCEA.

The level of feedback and support did not meet the Committee target required to move forward with the MCEA study.

Page 78: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

Recommendation: That the Township does not proceed with a Municipal Class Environmental Study to determine the feasibility of bringing municipal servicing to the Johnstown area, and that staff contact the residents within the survey area by mail to inform them of the survey results and decision.

Municipal Services in Johnstown - SURVEY

Township Council is seeking your input During the 2018 election door-to-door campaign, the topic of municipal servicing for the Johnstown area was raised by a number of residents. We anticipate that some of the first few questions that come to mind as you read this letter are how much will this cost me? Is it mandatory to connect? and how soon will this happen?

These are all valid questions that we don't have answers for at this time. Fortunately, there is a very detailed process called a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study that the Township can complete that will provide clarity to these questions. However, there is a cost to complete the MCEA and that cost must be borne by the benefitting property owners.

The MCEA is a four-phase process that includes ongoing public and agency consultation throughout the various phases of the study. The estimated time to complete the study is 18 to 24 months at an approximate cost of $150,000.00. The price and timing would be confirmed once a consultant is hired to complete the process.

Prior to starting a project of this magnitude, council requires a clear indication that the majority of Johnstown residents support this project and are willing to commit to cover the cost of the MCEA

The Township needs residents to be aware that all costs associated with the initial study, the construction and installation of the system, and all on-going operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of components are solely covered by the residents on the system.

Please mark (X) beside the correct statement that represents your opinion and return to the Township Municipal Office (18 Centre Street, Spencerville, ON KOE 1XO) by no later than July 31, 2019.

Alternatively, residents have the option to provide their response online at www.twpec.ca/johnstown­services. Information provided will be held in strictest confidence by the municipality.

__ (YES) I am willing to commit to spending up to $700.00 per property to complete a municipal class environmental assessment to determine the preferred option and estimated costs to install a municipal system.

__ (NO) I am not willing to commit to spending up to $700.00 per property to complete a municipal class environmental assessment and I am satisfied with private services.

Find What you Need

Township Council is seeking your input. During the 2018 election door-to-door campaign. the topic of municipal

servicing for the johnstown area was raised by a number of residents. We anticipate that some of the first few

questions that come to mind as you read this letter are how much will this cost me? Is it mandatory to connect?

and how soon will this happen?

These are all valid questions that we don't have answers for at this t ime. Fortunately, there is a very detailed

process called a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study that the Township can complete that

will provide clarity to these questions. However, there is a cost to complete the MCEA and that cost must be borne

by the benefitting property owners.

The MCEA is a four-phase process that includes ongoing publ ic and agency consultation throughout the various

phases of the study. The estimated time to complete the study is 18 to 24 months at an approximate cost of

$150,000.00. The price and timing would be confirmed once a consultant is hired to complete the process.

Prior to starting a project of this magnitude, council requires a clear indication that the majority of johnstown

residents support this project and are willing to commit to cover the cost of the MCEA.

The area to be included in the study is shown in the following map:

Water Service to Vacant Lot - Dundas Street

Purpose: To receive direction with respect to a water service for the vacant lot on Dundas Street, Cardinal which was recently offered for sale by public tender.

Background: In June Council directed that the vacant lot on Dundas Street (Part Lot 290, Plan 25) which had been vested to the Township by means of a failed tax sale, be offered for sale by public tender. The minimum tender price of $17,966.88 was established with the expectation that all of the municipality's costs in the matter would be recovered by the sale of the property.

Habitat for Humanity was the successful bidder, with a tendered price of $20,100. The solicitors for the Township and HFH are developing the required Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

lo

We have now determined, with the help of our Environmental Services Department, that the water service to the property was incorrectly attached to that of the neighbouring parcel to the north. This is an opportune time to correct that, prior to a new dwelling being constructed on the lot. However, because of the presence of a high-pressure gas line in that area, the cost to install the new line is estimated at $8,860, which is somewhat higher than normal.

Policy Implications: Typically, the developer is required to cover the cost of providing water service to a building lot.

Financial Implications: The municipality has realized approximately $2,100 over the expected property costs, which can be used to offset a portion of the additional servicing costs. The remaining $6,760 could be assessed against the developer.

However, the developer in this case is a registered charity, and committee may wish to consider absorbing that cost from within the Cardinal Water budget. The amount may

Page 83: COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE · 2019-08-12 · COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE PUBLIC WORKS, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES & FACILITIES MONDAY, AUGUST 12, 2019 COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

be realized through operational savings over the course of the remainder of the year, or if necessary, could be funded through a reduction in the transfer to reserve.

Recommendation: That Committee recommends to Council that the cost to provide water service to Part Lot 290, Plan 25, Dundas Street be funded partly from the sale of the property and the remainder from the Cardinal Water operating budget.

Enbridge Pipelines- Third Party Request to use ROW

Purpose: In May of this year En bridge Pipelines Inc. requested use of the unopen road allowance which runs north from Rooney Road between lots 18 & 19. This request was made by Enbridge so they could access their pipeline in the north quarter of Concession 2, Lot 20 to conduct what they call "investigative digs" and make repairs as required.

Background:

The Public Works Department has finalized an agreement to allow En bridge to use the unopened ROW as access to their pipeline. This agreement was signed by Enbridge on July 25, 2019 (see attached agreement) and provides that Enbridge be responsible for cleaning up the ROW, remove any debris, brush or tree limbs and to notify the Township and the Johnstown ATV club of their activity on the ROW.

Policy Implications:

Under bylaw 2015-52 the following applies ;

No person shall perform any work, or remove any trees, soil or other material or use any unopened road allowance without the specific approval of Council.

Before this agreement can be signed and sent back to Enbridge Pipelines Inc. Council must approve it.
