MINUTES ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Wilson, seconded by Alderman Martin that the minutes of the regular meeting held December 29th, 1970, be adopted as printed. DEPUTATIONS Comm. #1 - D.R.McDermid - Re: The Niagara Falls Sightseeing Tour Operators Association. Presenting a brief which reviews the history. of the Association and outlines a proposal to improve and control guided tours. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Bearas, seconded by Alderman Clarke that Mr. McDermid be granted permission to address Council, Mr. McDermid, as Solicitor for the Niagara Falls Sightseeing Tour Operators Association, commented on the various items contained in the brief copies of which had been made available to Council. Be noted that operators from Niagara Falls, N.Y., unlicensed to do business in Ontario, were allowed to conduct tours in the City and were not subject to the sanctions that apply to local business. Ontario operators, on the other hand, were not permitted to conduct tours in Niagara Falls, N.Y. because of a City ordinance which provides that licences be restricted to U.S. citizens or residents. Mr. McDermid pointed out that non -local operators were not qualified to provide informative tours and inadequately guided tours result in poor publicity and loss of revenue. He requested Council to take the necessary steps to apply for a Private Act to authorize the passage of a by -law which would permit the Association to proceed with a proposal whereby passengers on out -of -town buses would be taken on tours by local tour operators in equipment owned by the local operators. Preliminary enquiries have been made regarding a central compound site for out -of -town buses and use of the facilities at Skylon Park has been proposed. In addition, the Association wishes ae prohibit the tour operators from Niagara Falls, N.Y. from conducting tours in the Municipality. The speaker also pointed out that the Niagara Falls Transit Commission is a member of the Association and would benefit financially by the use of transit vehicles for tour purposes. Mayor Miller supported the proposal of the Association but stressed the importance of obtaining the approval and full cooperation of the Niagara Parks Commission. Mr. McDermid stated that informal discussion have been held with representatives of the Niagara Parks Commission and, while they are -not prepared to publicly declare their support at this time, it is his understanding that they will support the proposed by -law. Replying to questions by Alderman Thomson, Mr. McDermid said that buses going directly to motels or hotels by pre - arrangement would hot be affected nor would they be required to stop at' the compound. Be said also that it is not intended to take business away from those motels or hotels which provide their own tour service. Aldermen Eserss enquired about tours • for senior citizens, lodges and school groups and the speaker advised that the proposal would not apply to non- commercial ventures. The Aldermen mentioned the advantages of having trained qualified guides for educational tours. It was moved on the motion of Alderman Puttick, seconded by Aldermen Runt that the City Manager and the City Solicitor be directed to take the 041114, • 2. - 2 - necessary steps to apply for a Private Act • s. seconded The motion was amended on the motion'of Alderman Cla se o ede by Alderman Thomson, that Council app in principle,. the , p P for h Niagara Falls Sightseeing Tour Operators Association and the City Manager the City Solicitor be directedtomeet with R the Tour Operatois Association Association, the Niagara Parks Commission and the Niagara discuss the proposal and report their findings to Council.

An application to amend Restricted Area By-law 5335 to alter the zoning on the Robinson Street propett) - 3 - to permit Tourist Commercial and Multiple Density_ligh Rise Apartments and Condominiums. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman McKinley, seconded by Alderman Mann that Mr. N. A. McKay be granted permission to address Council. The motion Carried with Alderman Hunt voting contrary and all others in favour. Mr. McKay, as spokesman for Niagara International Centres Ltd., said that he could not understand why the matter had been brought to Council so quickly without an opportunity for more deliberations. The construction of a condominium on the escarpment, be said, required the cooperation of all the persons involved, that is, the developer, the City, the Niagara Parks Commission and Niagara International Centres. His clients, he said, are objecting to the development because of the proposed high density, inadquate access to the site end encroachment on the escarpment. Mr. McKay said that he had been instructed to request that the matter be temporarily deferred in order to provide an opportunity for all parties to study the report and to have dis- cussions. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman Clarke that Mr. E. E. Chorozy be granted permission to address Council. Mr.Chorosy, representing Choreba Investments, stated that the solicitors for Niagara International Centres have been aware of the proceedings and in conversations with them it had been indicated that there would be no objections to the proposal other than possible inconvenience if construction was undertaken during the peak summer months. It had been the original intention to establish a shopping area on the ground floor of the building but in respect to the Skylon and for their cooperation, only a "tuck shop" would be prim/clod. Mr.Chrosy referred to a letter written in 1966 which indicates that the Niagara Parks Commission approved the site for a hotel with the same density. Without such approval, he said, the company would not have proceeded nor would an amount of $100,000 been spent for services that have been put in to data. Mr.Chorozy questioned the statement that the proposed building would encroach on the escarpeetn by about 47 feet. There has been no indication, he added, that the development would encroach on any lands. In regard to access to the property, the speaker said that engineers have looked into the possibility of strengthening the Robinson Street Bridge to 20 ton loads. Choreba Investments, he said, are willing to donate money to either strengthen the bridge or build a new one. He suggested that a new_ bridge could be cows strutted with funds provided by all effected parties. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Thomson that the report of the Planning and Development Committee be received and the application of Cboreba Investments Limited be approved. The motion Carried. Note: Alderman Galloway abstained from voting. 10. 3 - Planning and Development Committee - Re: AM -42/70 Redekop Builders Ltd.

Mayor Miller stated that it is expected that the 1970 expenditures will be within the budget allocations and that the City will end the.year with a credit balance. He also commented on various items which will require the consideration of Council during the year 1971. In respect to the former Village of Chippewa, he noted that garbage service has now been extended to the Village. Mayor Miller pledged to continue his efforts to obtain door -to -door mail delivery for the Chippewa area and the question of providing bus transportation to the area, he added, must be investigated. Continuing, the Mayor stressed the necessity of eliminating the excessive borrowing charges that the Municipality incurred in 1970 and considered that the imposition of a pre -levy of taxes prior to the Regional requirements could be instrumental in reducing such charges. He recommended renewed efforts to stimulate development of the Falls Industrial Park and, in regard to the reconstruction of Stanley Avenue from Kitchener Street to Ferry Street, be believed that the Region should be asked to give this project priority. The possible retirement and replacement of City Manager A.C.Huggins, he said, is a major item that must be faced in the new year and suggested that any replacement should be given a minimum of four months in which to acquaint himself with the responsibilities of the position. In concluding his remarks, Mayor Miller said he was grateful for the excellent cooperation of the members of Council and was particularly appreciative of their acceptance of fifty assignments during the year which he himself could not meet because of other commitments.

Carried Unanimously NEW BUSINESS U8R Of COARSE SALT ON QUEEN SHEET Aldermen Wilson questioned the excessive use of coarse salt on Queen Street at a time when the road was not in an icy condition. The City Engineer explained that the incident occurred when a City employee misunderstood instructions to se the salt only in the gutters to melt ice is the.:catchbasins ADDITIONAL ICE SURFACES Aldermen Thomson said that he, as well as other members of Council, receive many enquiries about the possibility of providing additional hockey and skating facilities within the City. Because of the heavy hockey schedules and insufficient ice surfaces, it was necessary for young hockey players to ha practise sessions very early in the morninge. In view of the number of Moments received, the Alderman hod made enquiries and noted that it is not generally known that if a written request for a natural ice rink, signed by 8 or ! individuals, is f fded to tbs'Pacreation Commission, arrangements can he made for the CttF the rimk,beerds and in the imteiml.

The notion to approve the resolution was Carried with Alderman Wilson voting contrary and all others in favour. No. 6 - HUNT - CIARKE - RESOLVED that, in accordance with the provisions con- tained in Section 139 (4) of The Regional Municipality of Niagara Act, 1968 -69, the Council of the Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls hereby requests the Regional Municipality of Niagara to issue debentures in accordance with the terms and amounts set out in a statement and report of the City Manager dated the Ilth day of January, 1971; and, further, that the City of Niagara Falls hereby confirms that it has entered into a contract for, or authorised the commencement of all the works or projects included in the aforemention statemen AND the Seal of the - Corporation be hereto affixed. Carried Jlnanimeuely - 7 be made in other areas on condition that those persons signing the request accept the responsibility for maintenance. He asked that this service be made public in order that residents will be aware that, through the Recreation Commission, it is possible to have natural ice surfaces provided. The Alderman also asked that consideration be given to setting up natural ice surfaces in 3 or 4 major areas of the City which could be completely maintained by the Municipality. Alderman Thomson also noted that two years ago, at the request of former Alderman I. McCallum, a report was presented which indicated that the most economical way of providing an additional arena would be the construction of a "Satellite" type arena at Prince Edward Park adjacent to the Stamford Arena. The cost at that time was estimated to be $60,000. The matter was considered at a budget meeting and the suggestion was defeated by a majority vote because of the cost factor. The Alderman requested that an up -to -date report be prepared and that an item regarding the construction of a satellite arena is the vicinity of Stamford Arena be referred to the 1971 Budget Meeting. Alderman Thomson suggested that if it was not possible to provide this recreational facility during 1971, that a program be implemented whereby funds can be set aside in 1971 and 1972 so that an additional arena will become a reality. Alderman Martin mentioned that a Glenview resident had used a bull- dozer on his property in preparation for an outdoor rink which has been used extensively. Alderman Puttick said that the Stamford Arena Board had con- sidered a satellite rink on Prince Edward Avenue the cost of which was estimated tb be $140,000 excluding change rooms and wash roams. The additional use of the change roams in the Stamford Arena, be said, would increase the already overcrowded condition. Alderman Clarke said that both arena managers have stated that the arenas are grossly overcrowded in respect to the time alloted to young hockey players for practice sessions. He agreed that there was considerable merit in requesting a study as to the feasibility of pro- viding additional facilities. Alderman Clarke considered that the public should be made aware of the provisions which make it possible to provide outdoor ice rinks but that the City would not be prepared to create more than one rink in a particular area. Alderman Galloway, while not in disagreement with the requested report, questioned the advisability of building a third arena inasmuch as the existing arenas were operating at a financial lose. Mayor Miller was in complete agreement with the need for additional artificial ice facilities but considered that the spending of municipal funds for natural ice surfaces was unwarranted in view of the unpredictable climate of the .region. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by AldermanThomeoa that the City Manager and staff investigate the possibility and advisability of providing an additional artificial ice arena in the City and report their findings to Council. The motion Carried with Alderman Puttick voting contrary and all others in favour. - SNOWMOBILES .Mayor Miller said that it is expected that the City Solicitor will be able to prepare a snowmobile by -law in draft form for presentation to Council at the next regular meeting. He expressed the hope that members of Council would seriously consider legislation to govern and control the operation of snowmobiles. Mayor Miller was confident that, if approved, the by -law would gain the support of all Regional area municipalities. It was the opinion of Alderman Schisler that snowmobiles are now established as a recreational vehicle and in many cases are used for business purposes. He enquired if interested groups had been asked to submit their cements. The City Clerk advised that, in accordance with Council's directions, letters had been forwarded to interest groups and numerous phone calls had been received from snowmobile owners who expressed concern that Council was_eonsidering legislation to prohibit snowmobiles altogether. Alderman Hunt will supply the City Manager with information regard- ing the operation of snowmobiles on property to the rear of a Drummond Road apartment building. Complaints have been receivsd.that this practice continues until after midnight. CROWhAND 8OAD CLCBIN'S . Aldermen Schisler asked if'the 8t.tawrence Seaway Authority had •':obtained permission to cross roads that they propose to close sometime in ' -- the - future. he noted that earth -mains equipment was being operated within , S0' of private residences in preparation for the construction of a proposed ,M 8. -8- ovupeas and dirt was being piled 3' high on both sides of the road. Although signs have been erected to indicate the erasing of heavy equipment, Alderman Schislsr pointed out that it was dangerous for persons not familiar with the road. Me asked that the situation be investigated to ascertain if a detour is warranted. The City Manager informed Council that two meetings had been held with representatives of the Seaway Authority and most of the differences brought to Council's attention at a previous meeting, had been resolved. The contents of a letter recently received from the Authority will necessitate another meting. A complete report will be prepared for presentation to Council and a special meting will be requested to consider a by -lay to authorise the proposed road closings.

Requesting a meeting of representatives of the Advisory Committee of the program "Rooftop" and a Committee of Council to discuss a request for financial aid through the Canadian Assistance. The request was approved and Aldermen McKinley and Thomson were appointed as Council's representatives on the Committee. Corm.15 - Members of Council were previously presented with copies of a brief regarding "Operation Rooftop ". The brief outlines the background and purpose of the project and provides information as to eligibility requirements, adminis- tratiod and an explanation of the project's budget. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman McKinley that Mr. E. Lawson be granted permission to address Council. Mt. Lawson, a teacher at Lord Elgin Vocational School, explained that "Project Rooftop" had been started almost two years ago and had been in full operation since September 1970. He considered that Rooftop was a worthy cause and requested that Council support the project and provide whatever assistance is necessary to obtain the money seeded if the program is to continue. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman Martin that Mr. George Bukator be granted permission to address Council. George Bukator, M.L.A., commended the Y.M.C.A. for the excellent manner in which Rooftop is being carried on. When the project was brought to his attention he had made enquiries as to the availability of government grants and bad been advised that there was no vehicle by which the Province could provide financial assistance. Mr.Bukator believed that assistance had been given to other municipalities in parallel cases and could be obtained if the approach was made through Council. He pointed out that when there is a cost - sharing program, the Provincial or Federal Government usually pays 80% and the municipality 20%. He said that the project warrants support and offered to cooperate with Council in an approach to the Provincial Government for a grant. ORDguuD on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Wilson that Miss Bev Wilson be granted permission to address Council. Miss Wilson is the Youth Program Secretary of the Y.M.C.A. and is responsible for the day - to-day operation of the Rooftop program.' She said that the program has msgypreventative aspects through child cars and counselling which perhaps had not been early outlined in the brief. Replying to various questions, she said that the costs ars based on a weekly $23.00 payment to the families who take in the students; if this money is not needed it is used in part for clothing. The additional 85.00 paid to the students is for personal needs . Before being accepted the students are interviewed by Miss Wilson,/ire. McCutcheon of the Big Sisters Association at' others; information is obtained from persale school guidance counsellors and other persons who have had contact with the applicants.

No. 7 - LaMarsh, MacBain, Slovak, Sinclair and Nicolletti - Re: Schoustal Encroachment Agreement. Requesting the deletion of clause four of the agree- ment which requires that the encroachment be removed on six months' notice in writing, in the event that the lands are required by the City. The item was tabled at the meeting of January 11, 1971, in order that Mr. Schoustal'a solicitor could be notified that the matter was to be considered. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Martin, seconded by Alderman Thomson that Mr. William Slovak be granted permission to address Council. Mt. Slovak explained that his clients, Mr. and Mrs. Schoustal, had become aware of the encroachment after they had purchased the building situated at the corner of Bridgewater Street and Cumington Square. According to infor- mation available from the title, the building has been at this location for 60 to 70 years and encroaches on Cummington Square by one foot and on Bridgewater Street by approximately one -half foot. Clause Pour of the agreement, he said, could possibly create a future problem for his clients in that they may be required to remove a valuable building or it could be a factor in a future sale of the property. Mt. Slovak suggested that the terms of encroachment agree- ments should apply to each individual case on its own merits. Because of the concern expressed by his clients, he asked that Clause 4 be deleted from the agreement. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Mann that the communication from LaNarsh, Macneill, Slovak, Sinclair and Nicolletti be received and filed and the Schoustal Encroachment Agreement remain as prepared.

The report advises that consideration has been given to various ways of equalizing water rates throughout the Region and includes statistical information regarding five alternative methods. Mayor Killer welcomed Regional Councillor E. T. Weightman, Director of Engineering C. H. Ride and Mr. H. Brownbill, General Manager, Rydro Electric Commission of Niagara Falls. Mayor Miller suggested that Council direct their enquiries to the Regional representatives. Considerable discussion took place regarding a possible reserve rate to be added to the eater rates and, particularly, if the reserve accumulated would be used in improving within the Municipality or spread over the entire Region. It was pointed out that the reserve funds would be used strictly for capital expenditures and it had not been determined whether the accumulated funds from a particular area would be used for future development in that area. Alderman Thomson questioned the proposal that established a uniform water rate. Such action, he said, Would result in the subsidisation of those areas having Halted facilities. As an example he cited the present water treatment facilities in the City of Niagara Palls. Should a uniform rate be established, he said, the greater part of the expenditures would be in those areas having inadequate facilities. Councillor Weigbtman replied that the statement would be correct if a municipality had a "perfect" system requiting no further development. He stated that by 1975, the City of Niagara Falls may have a four million dollar deficit as far as service facilities are concerned. Aldermen Thomson agreed that while the City will require expansion of facilities in the future, the problems experienced by other municipalities would, in many cases, surpass this City's needs. Alderman Clarke commented that it is very unlikely that all area municipalities will approve the same method of equalising water rates and the final decision would be made by Regional authorities. Ns suggested that Council should have a report from city officials before making a decision. Aldeaaan Puttick questioned the basis upon which the figures contained in the report wars prepared. He noted that the City had been asked to approve tbs expenditure of $25,000 for a study of existing local facilities. He questioned the projection of figures in the report to the year 1975 without the assistance- of the study. Councillor Weigbtman advised that the Park- Niagara study was authorized by the Region and had been used in preparing the statistics Mr. Eidt also confirmed that the figures in the report are based on 1970 costs and any increase in costs, such as labour or additional capital works, would be above the figures contained in the report.. If a reserve rate is established, be said, it will apply to all water arses in the Region Alderman Puttick questioned the reference suds tot four million dollar expenditure required by the City to improve the waterworks service. While not confirming the actual amount, the City Engineer said that an expenditure vas included in the Park - Niagara study for the improvement of trunk facilities and the establishment of an underground reservoir in the Montrose Road • N.8.6 T. area to supply water in that general area. He pointed out that the report was a Regional for Regional expenditures. Alderman Puttick noted that the City bad only now been notified of this proposed expenditure. Mr. Eidt diets! lasted of a report regarding the Park - Niagara study. Councillor Weigbtman expressed the opinion that if a surcharge is imposed and extended over a period of years, there must be same relationship to the sinner in which water rates to area municipalities would be equalised over the sass term. All area municipalities, he said, should enjoy similar service at similar cats and the sharing of the cost could result in a slight reduction of the gates la Niagara Palls. Replying to a question by Alderman Rearms, be said that ha and the Director of Engineering wore present by the invitation of Mayer Miller end it was not the intention to visit all-area munici palities unless requested to do so. lhr.Weiehtamn said that the Public Works Committee was not prepared to submit a recommendation regarding the various alternatives submitted. The Regional Council had directed a report be prepared and the report wee subssqusntiy•forwardad to all eras mmsnisipelities 'for caeideratiat. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schiller, seconded by .Alderman Thomson that the report - prepared by the Regional Director of Finance end the Regional Director of Engineering bs ratsiwdamd refestod to tbeiEnglnsering Department for further comments. 5 Comm. 27 - The Regional Municipality of Niagara - Requesting comments on the report entitled "Uniform Policy and Procedures Relating to Traffic Matters "; submitting a memorandum from the Regional Solicitor regarding installation of street lighting and parking meters on Regional roads; requesting comments on a Regional report regarding "Policy on Roadway Lighting ". Report No. 38 - Policy on Roadway Lighting - The report includes a report by 1. Mayor F: J. Miller - Advising that at a special meeting of the Regional Council, discussions were held regarding street lighting on Regional roads and matters concerning the Regional Police Department; advising that, with the exception of the City of St. Catharines, practically all the area municipalities would prefer to have the roadway lighting remain under the control of the municipality; advising further that the Regional Police were to be asked, in writing, to enforce all by -laws and also that Superintendent Wilson be instructed to produce all information regarding taxi and sightseeing applications. The report also notes that the Region has authority to prohibit parking on Regional roads and comments on the subsequent problems in the City of Niagara Falls; suggesting that if parking is to be prohibited on certain streets that the City receive one year's notice. Alderman Bearss noted that the report suggested one year's notice and suggested that, in view of the length of time required to establish parking lots in areas of benefit, one year's notice would not be sufficient. The Alderman said that inasmuch as parking meter revenue contributes to the establish- ment and upkeep of parking lots, the City should enter into a very detailed agreement in respect to the revenue collected from parking meters and the method of controlling parking on City streets. Replying to questions by Alderman McKinley, the City Manager said that it was still not known if the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires would come under the jurisdiction of the Regional Municipality. The present contract expires at the end of February. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman Martin that a letter be forwarded to the Niagara Regional Board of Police Commissioners requesting that the Regional Police Force enforce all municipal bylaws. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Thomson that a letter: be forwarded to the Niagara Regional Board of Police Commissioners requesting that Superintendent Wilson be instructed to continue to procure all information on Taxi and Sightseeing applications including fingerprinting, driver records and testing. 2. The Regional Municipality of Niagara • (Comm. 425, 1970, presented to Council on December 21, 1970 and referred to the Niagara Palls Hydro) re: Policy on Roadway Lighting. 3. Niagara Falls Rydro - A communication re: Street lighting for Regional Roads. Advising that the Region's proposed policy on roadway lighting has been examined and pointing out various problems that may occur. 4. The Regional MMnicipality of Niagara - A report prepared by the Regional Solicitor re: Installation of Street Lighting and Parking Meters on Regional Roads. Summarising various sections of the Regional Municipality of Niagara Act and The Municipal Act regarding regional roads and concluding that (1) the Regional Corporation has full control over the installation of lighting on Regional roads but has no obligation to provide this service; expressing the opinion that, under the provisions of The Municipal Act, area municipalities could erect and miintain street lighting with the approval of the Regional Council. (2) that the installation and maintenance of parking meters are under the jurisdiction of the Regional Council and that the area municipalities apparently have authority to install parking meters. on Regional roads with the approval of the Regional Council. 5. City Solicitor • A memorandum to the City Manager rot Regional Roads, dated November 20, 1970. Expressing the opinion that although the Regional Corporation are obligated, according to the provisions of the Regional Act, to maintain Regional roads, the Region is not obliged to pay for street lighting which is not an integral part of the road; suggesting that the Regional Corporation would be entitled to erect and operate parking meters on Regional roads it it wished to do tog commenting on the moaner in which street lighting and parking meters are dealt with in Metropolitan Toronto and suggesting that the system . appears to be a ressenable approach to the problem. 6. REOIOML TRAPIIC OBPA*flCN? WU r, - 6 - Replying to various questions posed by members of Council, Mr. Brownhill said that the present lighting on Thorold Stone Road was installed on wooden poles and, in some cases, terry 13000 volt lines which are placed very close to the luminaires. He pointed out that if the Region was to be responsible for servicing these installations it would be necessary for them to hire trained personnel, whereas in each area municipality the hydro depart- ment already had employees fully trained for such work. Mr. Brownhill said, that as far as Regional roads:are concerned, it appears that there may be some changes made in the present system whereby requests for street lighting are processed through the City Council. Be pointed out that hydro was not part of the Region and he believed the Commission would hesitate about financing street light installations for the Region. Be felt that it would be preferred if requests for lighting and the financial arrange- ments continued to be handled through the City Council. After further discussion, it appeared to be the concernee of opinion that the City should retain responsibility for all street lighting within the Municipality, excluding lighting on roads which may be declared as expressways. It is also understood that she location of poles and lights would have to comply with regulations established by Regional authorities. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Puttick, seconded by Alderman Thomson that the Regional Municipality of Niagara be advised that the City of Niagara Falls wishes to continue to provide street lighting fixtures and maintain street lights on all Regional roads except expressways and, further, that the City wishes to retain the revenue from parking meters on Regional roads and that an appropriate agreement be prepared in respect to these matters. Report 39 - Policy and Procedures - Traffic Matters 1. The Regional Municipality of Niagara - Submitting a draft re: Uniform Policy and Procedures Relating to Traffic Matters. 2. Traffic E !neer - Commenting on the Region's general policy and procedures and suggest ng that the proposals should be generally satisfactory to the City' suggesting further that area municipalities be given an opportunity to resolve certain problem areas. The Traffic Engineer advised that, during 1970, the parking revenue fund received fine money from the payment of $1.00 fines when paid within 48 hours and the City's share of the money which is returned by the Province through the Provincial court system. The parking meter fund also took in revenue and fines from the enforcement of traffic regulations by the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires during 1970. Aldermen Galloway noted that under the system used in Metropolitan Toronto and described in the City Solicitor's memorandum, these monies would be earmarked for the Region. The Traffic Engineer suggested that if the Regional Police Force do the patrolling, such ebonies should go t'o the Region. On the other hand, if the patrolling is done by Commissionaires hired by the City, the revenue should go to the City. Until this year, he said, the Commissionaires were paid under the Police Commission's parking meter budget. The City still has a contract with the Commissionaires and is obligated to pay them until such time as the matter is resolved. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarks, seconded by Alderman Martin that the reports be received and referred to City staff and the staff of the Regional Government. Alderman Puttick asked the Regional Director of Engineering for clarification of a news report that the Region proposes to hire 32 inflamer'. +MT. Sidt said that the story vas incorrect and the personnel required by the Region included persons to service traffic lights, maintain white traffic lines, - erect and paint signs, take traffic counts, desk clerks etc. Ds confjx+asd that It wee not the intention of the Region to engage a traffic engineer at this time. It is expected !Rest the staff still to be hired will be available from area municipalities where employees ire doing similar work. To avoid duplica- tion in the Traffic Department, thus employees will be given an opportunity to transfer to the Region. 7 . 7 REPORTS ON MUNICIPAL MATTERS No. 40 -- City Manager - Re: St.Lawrence Seaway Authority and Road Closings in Former Township of Crowland.

A citisen had criticised the Humane Society for not responding to a call about a cat wbieb bad apparently been _unable to get down from the roof of a house. The Aldermen had received'a phone call explaining that the cat mess made of porcelain and had been on the roof for many years.

I t 8 INCREASED RATES AT INTERNATIONAL BRIDGES Alderman Hunt advised that he was still receiving complaints about the increase in bridge fares.

SOCCER COACH CLINIC Alderman Thomson requested a report as to the reasons why the School Board had cancelled a Soccer Coach Clinic scheduled to be held at Princess Elisabeth School. He expressed concern that such a worthwhile undertaking shout be refused the use of school facilities. Alderman said that he too had been informed of the last minute cancellation of the clinic. It was his understanding that the School Board had cancelled the arrangements because a soccer group had been responsible for damages in the gym of another school. The City Manager will contact Mr. R. A. McLeod, Director of Education and the Recreation Director for an explanation. COMPLAINTS RE: ITINERANT PHOTOGRAPHERS Alderman Thomson suggested that a standard policy be established to control the granting of Hawker & Pedlar licences in the Municipality. Complaints regarding inferior and unsatisfactory pictures had been received and because an order form had been signed, the customer was obligated to pay the costs. Prospective customers were offered one free picture and were shown the proofs on small slides. Local residents were signing order forms for additional prints without noticing the small print at the bottom which stated that there would be no refunds or retouching. The Alderman pointed out that there were established photographers in the Municipality who paid business tax and who deserved protection from such unfair competition. Alderman Thomson will provide the City Clerk with additional details. The City Clerk advised that the licensing by -law was being re- drafted and it was expected that it could be put into effect this year. Alderman Clarke enquired if the photographic firm which takes pictures in the schools is licensed and if the operation is sanctioned by the School Boards. He believed that the returns from the aale. of etudeats pictures would amount to considerable money. The City Clerk advised that the firm referred to are licensed. Re said that before such licences are issued confirmation is received that the firm has the approval of the School Boards. AGREEMENT WITH NIAGAIW MONORAIL Alderman Puttick referred to various provisions in the agreement between the City and Niagara Monorail, pointing out that the agreement did not give the Monorail company the exclusive right to construct or operate a monorail system. The Aldermen asked the City Manager to contact Miss LsMarsh, solicitor for the company, to confirm whether the company intends to proceed with the proposal. If they are unable to do so, he said, the City could consider re- selling the rights to other interested parties. Under the terms of the agreement, the monorail must be completed within three years. Mayor Miller said it was his understanding that the company had purchased the air rights from Penn Central at considerable cost and he had been led to believe that the necessary financing was available. Mayor Miller also told about receiving an early morning phone call from California which indicated that the legal representative of a well known actor was interested in the present status of the proposed monorail. In further conversation with Mt. Goodell, Mayor Miller bad been advised that when the monorail was built consideration would be given to selling stock. MAIM, COLIECT1ON or NEWSPAPER Alderman Puttick commented on an existing by-lew in England which, In an effort to control pollution and littering, prohibits newsprint being included with garbage. He suggested that local residents, for a trial period new of one year, could voluntarily keep sprint separate for collection by a private contractor who would pay tie City for the collection rights. ifs. Alderman suggested also that money realised from the project could he set aside for s/cb improvements as an additional stew. -g- Alderman Wilson agreed with Alderman Puttick and suggested that perhaps Council could encourage clubs and organizations to conduct weekly paper drives. He mentioned that a company in the Town of Thorold had perfected a process whereby paper was repossessed. He also suggested that glass bottles should not be included with regular household garbage. NIAGARA DISTRICT AIRPORT Alderman Wilson asked that consideration be given to taking whatever steps are necessary to correct the excessive flooding conditions at the Niagara District Airport. Mayor Miller commented on the amount of ice which had formed in front of the two buildings that house the airport's firetrucks. He said that the condition had existed for several days and, in the case of an emergency, the firetrucks would not have been available. KIMBERW.CIARK PROPERTY Mayor Miller said he was pleased to announce'that the ownership of the Kimberly -Clark property on Victoria Avenue had been transferred to Choreba Investments Ltd., St.Catharines. The company, which holds a five year lease for 125,000 sq. ft. of space, will continue manufacturing at the site. All employees were advised that production would continue before the news was made. public. Mr.Eugene Chorozy, President of Choreba Investments,said that en agree- ment has been reachsdvdth one manufacturer presently in Etobicoke to transfer operations to the Victoria Avenue property and it is expected that the move will provide employment for 35 persons in Niagara Falls.

Comm. 27 • Niagara Falls Snowmobile Association - Offering various suggestions and recommendations regarding a proposed by -law to govern the use of snow machines in the City; submitting the names of more than 1000 residents who participate in the sport and wish to continue to do so. Representatives of the Association were present at the meeting to answer questions in respect to the communication. Replying to questions by Alderman Clarke, Mr. A. Frets said that the members of the Association did not feel that the hours of operation should be restricted. The average age of snowmobile operators, he said, is 40 years and as a mature person, should not have to limit their recreational activities to certain hours. He said also that the Federal Government has recommended to the snowmobile manufacturers that the noise level be reduced on the new models. Included in the Association's recommendations was a provision to allow the snowmobile operators to traverse roads used by automobile traffic to travel between parking areas and the recreation areas.. Alderman Clarke suggested that this item should be clarified in that the parking areas should be reasonably adjacent to the recreation area. Mr. Frets said that if ploughed parking areas are not provided, snowmobile operators will be required to park in nearby areas and drive to the recreation area. Alderman Ssarss asked about education for those operators who were not members of the Association and Mr.Frets replied that the Provincial Police have shown their snowmobile safety film and any interested persons could attend the meetings which will stress education and safety. He said that when an operator applies for a licence, he is provided with a copy of the Provincial Snowmobile Act and should be familiar with the rules and regulations. The publication and enforcement of a by -law passed by Council would also assist in educating all snowmobile operators. Alderman McKinley did not consider that the operation of snowmobiles could be prohibited during night hours pointing out that new legislation which will coma into effect about April, provides that all vehicles must be equipped with lights. He also referred to the recommendation that snowmobiles be allowed at John Allan Park, the proposed Stamford Park and Baden - Powell Park and suggested that consideration be given to the exclusive use of than parks by snowmobile operators. In the interest of safety, he said, skaters end skiers should not be permitted in these areas. Alderman Martin advised that the matter had been considered by the Recreation Commission and it is expected that the Commission will recommend two of the parks mentioned in the brief. Alderman Puttick commented on the recent success of the Winter Carnival in Jordan and suggested that the Snowmobile Association submit ideas to such organisations as the Niagara Promotion Association end the Niagara Region Resorts and Tourist Association in order to promote similar events in the City. He suggested that the Niagara Park lands could be made available for winter activities and the park roads closed to traffic. Aldermen Thomson commended the Association for their preparation of the brief noting that the previous remarks of Council regarding use of city streets and the noise factor, had been taken into consideration. He also noted that the local ambulance service had no record of calls necessitated by snowmobile accidents. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson seconded by Alderman Mann that the communication from the Niagara Falls Snowmobile Association be received and that topic ei a previsue letter written by representatives of the Association be mede. available to members of Council; that the comments end recommendations of the Association be taken into ce sidsrstion during the preparation of the draft by -law and, further, that the Wagers falls Snowmobile Association be gives an opportunity to comment on the draft byelaw before it is presented for final approval. • 2. ffi Sports - No. 30 S hichthemmehers of the Niaga Falls Fire performed o their duties is during a recent fire.

Mitchinson had requested permission to address Council in regard to the proposed re- location of Highway 20 north of the Town of Pelham. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman McKinley, seconded by Alderman Clarke that Mr. Mitchinson be granted permission to address Council. Mr. Mitchinson, President of the Committee of 1000, said that although it was the original intent of the Department of Highways of Ontario to re- locate Highway 20 to a location south of the former Village of !anthill (Pelham) and between the Village and the City of Welland, the newest recomendation was in direct contradiction to the earlier report and it is now proposed to locate the highway north of Pelham between St.Catharines and the village. He described the resulting damage to the ecology noting that the roadway would now go through a greenbelt area. Mr. Mitchinson raised the question of whether the Department of Highways and the Town of Pelham had made the change without the consent of the residents of the Town or the Regional Planning Department. He considered that the changes in the proposed by -pass were serious enough to demand a public enquiry. As spokesman for the Committee of 1000, Mr. Mitchinson asked that (1) the City contact the Department of Highways and demand that all work be halted until Council and the general public are fully informed; (2) that the City of Niagara Falls contact the Pelham Town Council regarding the minutes of the July 1970 meetings at which time approval of the new location was granted. (3) advise the Department of Highways and the Regional Municipality of Niagara that the City •2s opposed to the re- routing of Highway 20. Mr. Mitchinson pointed out that, in view of the Department's plans for the reconstruction of Highway 20 in Niagara Palls, the proposed change would affect not only the City but the entire Niagara Region. Several members of Council expressed concern that the decision to change the routing was done without fully informing all affected areas; whether the decision was made after a meeting of Council with representatives of the Department of Highways; whether there is a conflict of interests; the affect on the provincial park and recreation lake proposed for the area north of the new routing and the resulting commercial development. Mayor Miller suggested that it would bs advisable to inform the Regional Municipality of this City's concern and that Mr. Mitchinson should present his brief to the Regional Coundil. ORDERED on the motion of Aldermen Clarke, seconded by AldermanThoseon that the Council of the City of Niagara Falls approve the submission of the Committee of 1000 as presented by Mr. Mitchinson and the Regional Municipality of Niagara be so advised; further, that Mr. Mitchinson be asked to apply to the Region for permission to appear before the Regional Council to present the brief.

The City Manager said that consideration has been given to the possibility of converting such buildings and facilities for dual use such as outdoor discussed at the Manager's scheduled meeting with will be the Community Centres Board of the Department of Municipal Affairs. Alderman Puttick suggested that the possibility of enclosing the ewiaming pool to provide year -round swimming be investigated. When questioned by Alderman Puttick about the possibility of re- locating the change house to the south side of the pool to provide additional picnic and play areas, the City Engineer advised that this would not be feasible inasmuch as it is not intended to make any changes sw installation oolapipn of which presently drains to the existing pumping facilities. skimmers to remove the surface film off the water is required under the Public Health Act and necessitates additional new outlet piping to the pumps.

Cerrlad Unanimauly $*UC WIW RSGIONAL P.W.C.COMMITIER Alderman Sableler referred to Council's earlier decision to request the Public Utilities Committee to sat en alternate date for the joint mating with Council. He suggested that amusements be lads to lent with the City's 5. Engineering staff in order to become better informed as to those matters to be discussed with the Regional officials and to prepare an agenda for the meeting. Mayor Miller suggested that it might be possible to hold such a meeting follow- ing the next regular meeting of Council. MUNICIPAL BUDGET Alderman Runt commented on recent statistics which indicated that 7000 area residents were receiving welfare and that in the City of Niagara Falls 2800 people were on welfare. He expressed the opinion that in view of the number of unemployed and the percentage of residents who were not able to live within their incomes, that Council should try to "hold the line" on City expenditures. Mayor Miller agreed with the Alderman's remarks and suggested that during the budget discussions every effort should be made to reduce spending. RAILROAD CROSSINGS Alderman Wilson said that the continued blocking of traffic at Pen Central railway crossings is still cause for concern and complaints. He stated that after midnight the trains travelled at greater speeds and diesel engines were "boosted" in order to pull as owes 100 train units. SHOW REMOVAL Alderson Wilson reported the lack of snow ploughing in the Huron St. - Eris Avenue area where Erie Avenue had been closed at the Pen Central tracks. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FUNDS Alderman Wilson commented on Alderman Hunt's remarks regarding unemployment in the City and suggested that this matter should be discussed with the Honourable J. J. Greene when he meets with Council at the next meeting. He reiterated his earlier suggestion that the Federal Government be asked to release funds for a winter works programme. REGIONAL GOVERNMENT .5 Alderman Puttick expressed the opinion that the City of Niagara Palls will not benefit from the implementation of Regional Government and will continue to pay large amounts for consultants, water, pollution control and public works. The Alderman said that at the end of the five-year transitional period, the area will pay heavily, and cited as an example, the need to provide additional money to establish a Regional Police Force because the Government grant was not sufficient. Alderman Puttick interpreted recent remarks by the Honourable D. McReough regarding "local government" as meaning "regional govern- ment" and could foresee the elimination of the municipal level of government. He believes that City Councils, as presently known, will cease to exist in 5 to 6 years. The centralisation of goverment, he said, should be cause for concern and the powers exercised by Regional officials are far too great. Continuing, he said that the previous non urban areas control major monetary decisions and actions urban areas paying the costs. Regional Council said Council, it was time to ob of the incurred by the prof de ssuufficientiofunds toScompensa Government failure the City for the additional expense. Aldermen Slhisler agreed with Aldermen Puttick's remarks but in regard to the statement•..that urban areas will pay more, he pointed out that the former Township of Crowland pays a higher general rate than any portion of the City of Niagara Palls. The Alderman said be will continue to object to the equalisation factor established by the Assessment Department. Alderman Clarke mentioned the recent announcement that the Council of the City of St. Catharines wishes to withdraw from the regional government concept and said that the Provincial Goverment would not allow this action. He noted that while the City of Niagara Falls pays lass than St. Catharines, this City represents 19% of the regional population, 212 of the assessment and of�Nisgrat he said, cost Regiona t amp creation tr ans sit ionsliajuust- MAO o which $323,000 was pad by the City of Niagara Palls. The Aldermen • Said that the Provincial Government must be wade aware of the problems created by the implementation of Regional Government. Although this area, the Ottawa. Carlton region and Meader Ray have expressed dissatisfaction, it is understood that an saaonaawot will be made is April regarding the establishment of ewe regional areas in the Province. 6. i TRANSIENT PHOrOGRAPHSRS - ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Puttick, seconded by Alderman Hunt that the Council of the City of Niagara Palls initiate immediate proceedings to obtain Increased financial assistance from the Province of Ontario to help meet increased expenditures incurred by the Municipality as the result of the implementation of Regional Government. The action Carried with the following vote: ATE• Aldermen Clarke, Hunt, Mann, Martin, McKinley, Puttick, Sebieler, Scots, Common, Wilson, NAYS :Aldermen Galloway and Bearss. Alderman Thomson reported that local photographers were concerned about the newspaper heading regarding his remarks at the last Council meeting. It was felt that the heading could be interpreted as an accusation that residents were being "bilked" by local photogrpahers. The newspaper story, when read in its entirely, made it clear that the complaints were about door -to- door photographers, but the headline could be misleading. . • CIVIC MONTH ORDERED on the action of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman Clarke that the month of May, 1971, be designated as "Civic Month" and that a committee of Council be appointed as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to solicit the cooperation of local residents and to prepare an agenda for the month's activities. PROVINCIAL TAX REBATE Alderman Thomson suggested that the Provincial Government be asked to re- examine the basis on which the residential property tax reduction was established. He said that initially the purpose of the grant was to ease the burden of municipal and school taxes. It was his opinion that the rebate of $50.00 to $60.00 did not have the some effect on property owners having higher incomes. He suggested that parsons with lower incense or do a fixed income category were more in need of such a grant. He suggested also that the goverment should devise a new basis upon which to base the grant with the hope of providing *. more realistic assistance to those in need. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Aldermen Wilson that the City Clerk prepare a draft resolution requesting the Provincial Govsrraoent to re- examine "The Residential Property Tax Reduction Act" in order to determine a more equitable method of allocating the grants on the basis of need. The motion Carried with Alderman Galloway voting contrary and alt.otbers in favour.

See Page 8 ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schisler, seconded by Aldsrman Martin that Mr. Thome Williams be granted permission to address Council. Mr.Williams' property is located on Lyons Creek Road close to a proposed turnaround and is severed by Lyons' Creek. His main concern was the inconvenience in having to travel considerable distance in order to work the loser portion of his farm. He advised that representatives of the Seaway Authority had assured his that a suitable bridge would be built across Lyons' Creek to joln both portions of his property and that he was satisfied with this arrangement. Mr.Williaas thanked Council for their interest in the problems of the property owners and for the manner In which tha matter had been handled. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schisler, seconded by Alderman Wilson that Mr. 8. Gill be granted permission to address Council. Mr.Gill, who leases land on the west side of Morris Road, expressed concern about the new route school buses would have to take, pointing out that the routs requires a total of tan additional miles. He said that at present there are no homes on Morris Road and McKenney Road, between Ontario and Netherby, but once these roads were stoned it will be necessary to maintain them and have them remain open throughout the winter months.

Morris,lOho livss:.im ediately north of Lyons' Creek Road and imediately east of the proposed railway line, spoke about the inconveniences that will be caused to he+ and his fmaily. Mr. Morris maintained that his property will depreciate in value and pointed out that the railway track will be located 200 ft. from his property. He had received no assurance, he said, as to whether such services as mil delivery, garbage collection and snow ploughing would be provided. He also mentioned that it would no longer be convenient for him to arrange transportation to his place of employment and would necessitate the purchase of an additional car. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schistos seconded by Aldermen Martin that Mr. G. J. labiate be granted permission to adddress Council. Mr. Lsbonte, Legat Advisor, for the St.iawrents Seaway Authority, replied to the comments of the property owners.

In regard to the property of Mr. Morris, Mr. Leona said that the Authority's appraisers had determined that there will be no element of • depreciation. If, however, " Mr. Morris or a qualified appraiser can satisfy the Authority that there le a reduction is the value of the property, com- peasetios would be recommended.

Alderman Galloway offered the Opening Prayer. It was ORDERED on the motion of Alderman McKinley, seconded by Alderman Martin that the minutes of the regular meeting held January 25, 1971, be adopted as printed. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Puttick, seconded by Alderman Wilson that By -law Number 70 -209 be brought forward for consideration at this time.

ORDERED on the motion of Alderman McKinley, seconded by Alderman Hunt that Alderman Martin be granted the privilege of introducing the By -law and the By -law be given the first reading. Carried Unanimously Alderman Puttick queried the City Solicitor as to whether there was any way by which a provision could be inserted in the by -law whereby. Mr. Morrie would be compensated without the necessity of spending a considerable amount of money to prove to the St.Lawrence Seaway Authority that the value of his land had depreciated. The City Solicitor expressed the opinion that such a provision should not be included in the By -law. He pointed out that only road closings were being discussed at this time and that The Municipal Act provides that if property is injured by the closing of a road, and a claim is made within one year, the property owner is entitled to compensation. He suggested that the possible compensation would be determined by arbitration rather than by court proceedings: Mr. Morris' problem, he said, resulted not from the road closing but rather from what is being built by the railway company. Re stated that the passing of the by -law does not deprive Mr. Morris of the right to compensa- tion. Replying to questions by Alderman Hearse, the City Engineer explained that the Authority will construct roads on McKenney from Lyons' Creek Road to Yefvrio; McKenney from Netherby to Ontario Road and Morris Road from Netherby to Ontario as well as cul-de -sacs required at the various road closings. The City, he said, would be responsible for the maintenance of the roads in the future. The arrangement, he said, is comparable to a subdivision development whereby the subdivider pays for the initial structure and the municipality is responsible for maintenance.

Burger requested Council to sanction a City of Niagara Falls lottery the proceeds from which would be used to provide in additional artificial ice surface end a swimming arse within the city. Hs ecementsd on the urgent need for the facilities in the area and suggested that a City lottery would make it possible to provide them without additional Bost to the taxpayer: Hs advised oleo that one or two service clubs are considering projects of this • nature. Mr. ?larger suggested that a Citisens' Steering Committee be appointed; the committee to consist of rspressatativss from the various service clubs and swebsre of the City Council. OSDMtirss the motion of Aldermen Puttick, seconded by Aldermen Wilson that the request he referred to the City Solicitor for • report. 4; ip road closings, legal proceedings are instituted either against the municipality or the Authority and such claims are recognised under the terse of reference of the Municipal Act, the Authority would be obliged to see that the City is indemnified against any such claims. Alderman Schisler did not agree with the statement that Mr. M property would not depreciate and, in addition, the railway would be located 200 ft. from his residence. Alderman Puttick someented on the expense that would be incurred by Nr. Morris if he was required to obtain the services of an appraiser and the cost of possible court proceedings. He enquired if it would be possible at this time to assure Mr. Morris that be would receive some type of compensation. Mr. Iabonte pointed out that it had not been necessary for the Authority to expropriate any part of Mr. Morris' holdings and, consequently, the Authority's hands were tied. Hs said that if it was a Satter of a token amount, the Seaway Authority could be approached, but in this instance it was not a question of a token amount. Alderman Beares mentioned drainage and water supply problems that may not became evident until construction is completed. Mr. Iabonte replied that the Authority would be required to restore the drainage to whatever standards existed prior to construction. In regard to wells and water levels, all legal claims will be entertained following construction. In replying to queries by Alderman Wilson, Mt. Iabonte said it was not possible to locate the 7000' strip farther to the south. A double track facility must be clear of grade and 7000' is required in order to handle lengthy train assemblies without splitting the trains. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Martin, seconded by Aldermen Mann that Mr. Keith Oglesby, Project Engineer, be granted permission to address Council. Alderman Martin noted that the Separate School Board .4s concerned about the proximity of the railway tracks to the school grounds on Brookfield Road, the tracks will be 500' from the school. The Alderman suggested that the estimated movement of 25 trains per day would affect the school. Mt. Oglesby replied that this matter has been under consideration for some time. Consideration has been given to fencing. He pointed out that the actual railway right- of.way would be fenced also and it was felt that the fence would not - result in greater protection for the school children. He advised that a latter regarding this problem has been forwarded to the School Board. Kayor Miller adjourned the special meeting to reconvene in regular session.

Similar studies are being undertaken in the Cities of St.Catharines and Welland. Mr.Weightman noted that the City had filed an objection to the expenditure of $25,000 for the proposed appraisal. Mr.Eidt reviewed the Acres Study which included recommendations regarding the extension of a number of trunk mains and the establishment of a new reservoir. He stated that the Acres report has been followed but in view of the unpredicted development in the City of Niagara Falls, the annexation of the former Village of Chippewa and the Townships of Crowland and Willoughby, as well as the inclusion of Chippewa in the urban service area, it is necessary that the report be updated. The proposed study will provide guidance respecting size and location of trunk mains, low pressure areas and additional storage facilities. When questioned as to whether Regional or City staffs could not undertake the study themselves, Mr. Eidt said it would be possible if there was sufficient staff and time. In addition, the study entails a computer program which neither staff could do. It was pointed out that the City's water system also provides some service to the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake, although the full cost of the study will be borne by the City of Niagara Falls. It was suggested that it might be more equitable to have the cost of the study levied against the consumers rather than the City. The Director of Engineering replied that although the City does presently supply some water to the Town of Niagara -on- the -Lake, the Parc Niagara study indicates that it would be more feasible for that area to be serviced by the DeCew Falls Plant. In addition, it appears that a Well Recharge Program will supply sufficient water to Nlegara -oa- the -lake for some time to come. It is also considered more economical for the City of Welland to.aupply water to Port Robinson rather than being serviced by Niagara Falls. The matter of supplying water to the Niagara Parkway was also discussed and it was suggested that the study should include the feasibility of providing the service to that area. It was also noted that the cost of the proposed study is estimated to be $20,000; the additional $5,000 is for information which might be required by the City for its own purposes. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Bearss, seconded by Alderman Hunt that the City of Niagara Falls withdraw its objection to the Niagara Fells Water Study as proposed by the Reg tonal Municipality of Niagara. The motion Carried with the following vote: Am Aldermen Bearas, Clarke, Calloway, Hunt, Mann, Martin, McKinley, Thomson. Mi t =Aldermen Scott, Schieler, Wilson, Puttick. Mr. Holenski advised that Stanley Avenue is included in a group of 'streets which were recently passed on to the Public Works Committee with the approval of the Regional Council. Approval of the Department of Highways is being sought for subsidies at 75% connecting link rate. Attempts will also be made to obtain D.H.O. approval as to the amount of stttnicipatanginsaringahich vaultbp eligible for subsidy purposss;tbie itm gobs included in an enginserime al rsement. the Region is attempting. to acquire five properties still reuired 2. 4 TENDERS FOR MATERIALS - 2 - for the Stanley Avenue reconstruction. If unsuccessful, expropriation proceedings will be initiated. Mr. golenski pointed out that one .of .the .:. ; problems is utility :eelocatioa.which cannot be proceeded with until all the necessary property has been acquired. if at all possible, road construction during the tourist season will be.ev0ided. Mr.Weigbtman commented on the recent purchase of.salt by.the Region vhich.enabled area municipalities to purchase the item at a lower price. Re considered that this action bad contributed toward the breaking up of a cartel which had existed in the salt industry. When queried about the economical features of establishing a Regional inspection department, Regional representatives advised that the Region does conduct some tests on materials and consideration has been given to acquiring a laboratory in Port Dalhousie. It was suggested that perhaps such testing would not be sufficiently independent and the Region has recently received letters from testing associations objecting to the Region doing their own testing of materials. A report regarding the supply of materials, which was submitted to the City Council on February let, did not recommend the purchase of various items through a central purchasing agency, but did suggest that the Regional Corporation be requested to insert a clause in their material specifications which would permit the area municipalities to take advantage of their prices, if deemed necessary. The Regional Engineer expressed doubt about the advisa- bility of such a clause pointing out that an item with no quantities is ineffective. it was suggested that information regarding Regional tenders could be made available if prices are received prior to the area municipalities calling for tenders on similar items. The Public Works Committee will consider sanding a form letter to all area municipalities asking if they would be interested in a procedure whereby the Region would be advised at the beginning of the year of the equip- ment requirements of each municipality. It vould then be possible for the Region to call tenders on larger quantities and securing better prices. cC twi aTICIm it was noted that the area municipalities within the Region follow different procedures in handling correspondence from the Region. In the City of Niagara Falls, a procedure is followed whereby all matters pertaining to finances and accounts are forwarded to the City Treasurer with a copy to the City Manager; items of concern to Council are referred to the City Clerk with a copy to the City Manager; items relating to various engineering departments go directly to that department with copies for the City Engineer and the City Manager. it was suggested that Regional authorities specify which items are to be referred to Council for comment or action. It vas indicated that it is the intention of the Public Works Committee to request the opinion of each area municipality as to the best method of communication between the ausici- palities and the legion and that one policy will be established. It was suggested that the procedure presently being followed in the City of Niagara Falls be continued. MQIONAL RODS STUDY Mr. Holman advised that the WeedSStudy has been completed and each area 'municipality has been asked to comment on matters which may have been overlooked. Regarding the Sodom Road - Williok Road intersection, Mr. Rolenski advised that more dayligbting le required; one property has been acquired and the Region is awaiting information from another property owner. It is intended to re- locate the ditch back from the travelled part of the roadway. In respect to the City's request that the responsibility for Queen Street revert to the Municipality, W. Ride suggested that the City indicate an alternate street to replace Queen Street. Is said Huron Street mould ba aonsidersd as a replacement. thsae was some discmmsioa regarding the possibility of the Region movies the perking from Queen Street. The basis of Council's concern wee that parking meter funds ars used to establish off street parkins and the *Sorel of the meters would affect the assts of benefit. to correct deficiencies. the Satinet Suede Heeds Study recommends a policy of weaving parking, chars it is•imprasttssl/ts widen the toed, to correct such deficiencies. 3. - Discussions have been held at the Regional level in respect to the transferring of Queen Street and consideration is also being given to giving municipalities one year's notice of any proposals to remove parking from Regional roads. * * * ** ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Wilson that the meeting adjourn to Committee of the Whole.

He stated that several industries in the City had been lost due to complaints from residents of housing developments which were allowed "on their door step ", and that while the Labour Council were in favour of this type of hous- ing, they felt the proposed development in the subject area would jeopardize the Provincial Crane Company fres future expansion, and would be the source of com- plaints from the residents in future years about noise pollution, eta.

Investments Ltd., be considered at this time. Report 123 - Plannin• & Development Committee - AM -2/71, Choreba Investments Ltd., Pt. Twp. Lot 114, west of Drummond Road on the south side of Valley Way extension. and recommending to Council approval of the application through a Plan of Subdiv- ision, subject to the Engineer's recommendations, to permit a townhousing develop- ment at a density of about 14 units per acre. Mr. Wm. Damato of 1226 Timothy Crescent appeared before Council on behalf of resi- dents in the Balmoral- Timothy Crescent- Bellevue Street area who were in opposi- tion to the proposed re- zoning. He read a prepared submission and introduced photographs and plans for Council's consideration. Mr. P. Van Belle, Planning Administrator, outlined the application on a plan of the area. Mr. Demato referred to a meeting held in 1965 concerning a Consent Application for permission to sever a parcel of land immediately west of the extension of Valley Way, and stated at that time the residents were guaranteed there would be no more apartments built in the single family residential zoned area, and there would be no multi- family residential development west of the demarcation line shown on the plan of the subject application dated November, 1965. Mr. Van Belle reviewed the 1965 Committee of Adjustment application and stated that after the construction of an apartment building had begun it vas found that the side yard was insufficient, resulting in an application for land severance of 40 feet which was granted by the Committee of Adjustment. The Planning Director at that time, Mr. A. Craves, had indicated to the Committee that even though the Committee approved of the land severance this did not mean the Planning Board would commit itself to re-zone the property. The Committee of Adjustment, as a result of objections, said they would allow the severance with the condition that only 5 feet be re- zoned, to allow the apartment to continue. Mr. Damato referred to an application made in April, 1970, for re to permit the construction of a 14 storey apartment building. At that time, 75 hone owners were in objection, and the Planning Board had recommended the application be denied. Mr. Van Belle clarified that the apartment project in 1970 was turned down because of density and height factors. At the time it was indicated that multi- family . housing would not be permitted because it would require extension of Valley Way. Re stated, however, that since that time the Department of Highways had indicated they would extend Valley Way. Mr. Damato mentioned that an error was contained in the notification dated Jan- uary 28th, 1971, of the present application. In explanation, Mr. Van Belle stated that initially it had been proposed by the applicants for 66 unite of multi - family housing based on overall density of 14 units per acre. At the time of application, notices were sent to abutting owners, 'following which the proposal was checked by the Planning Staff, and at this time it vas found that the acreage calculation by the applicant was wrong and the den - sity would came up to 18 units per acre, the applicant had reduced the density to 15 units, but the Planning Committee had recommended approval at 14 units per wore. 'Additional points included in Mr. tomato's presentation were: Lower real estate value; aesthetic value - Mr. Donato tabled a photograph show- ing the existing condition of the Camelot Towers Apartment building; increased traffic; overcrowding of schools. questioned the outcome of a traffic survey on Valley Way and Dram* aakod abet consideration had been made for park area] questioesd if the peopoesl•oonformed to the "town plan be suggested that the subject property could be used for single family purposes and submitted a draft subdivision layout showing 19 lots, noting that the applic- ant had said eely 7 or 8 lots could be treated. -4- Mr. Damsto questioned the curve of the Valley Way alignment. He suggested the proposed extension of Valley Way was apparently changed for each proposal sub- mitted. He stated that the proposed multi- family housing project would result in a den- sity of 11.1 families per acre or almost double to that of the nearby "Prociuk" subdivision. In comparison also, he cited the LaScala Subdivision With 101.fam- flies, and Village North Town Housing with 11 -3/4 families per acre. The City Engineer, Mr. R. W. Rodman, provided an explanation on the plan the areas where fill would be required to permit the extension of a sanitary sewer from. Valley Way. During the discussion on the matter several questions were presented by Members of Council. Included in the questions were the following matters: A discussion took place in respect to the designation of Valley Way as a possible collector street, following a question of Alderman Puttick. Mr. Van Belle had stated that since Bellevue Street would be closed Valley Way would provide access and therefore it was his opinion that it would be a collec- tor street. Mr. Rodman indicated a collector street was defined by the use made of the street. He stated that in order for him to give an accurate defini- tion he would have to analyse existing and proposed development. Alderman Thomson questioned the designation of the subject property in the flit draft zoning by -law. Mr. Van Belle provided an explanation of the existing lands in the area designated for park purposes and the lands to be acquired. It was Moved by Alderman. Scott, seconded by Alderman Schisler that the matter be deferred for one week for further information. This motion was Defeated with the following vote: Aye: Aldermen Scott,end Schisler. le Aldermen Clarke, Hunt, Mann, Martin, McKinley, Puttick, Thomson, Wilson.

The Region approved of a similar nursing home for the City of St. Catharines which is presently being constructed at a cost of two million dollars and will employ 50 - 60 people. The home is scheduled to open in June of 1971 or shortly thereafter.

The City Manager explained that very often ponding conditions arise as a result of the development of a subdivision. In this particular case, it was not possible to determine if adequate surface drainage actually did exist prior to the development. Residents of the neighbourhood had, by petition, expressed their concern about the situation and the safety of children. Although Mr. Kern, the owner of the property on which the ponding occurs, desires to rectify the condition he does not feel that he should pay the entire cost. Other residents of the area, while concerned about the problem, are apparently not disposed to assuming a portion of the remedial costa. Alderman Galloway questioned the feasibility of distributing the coats among those property owners who may be responsible for the condition but felt that Council must take some action. He suggested that possibly the mailing of registered directives to the owners of property which could be contributing to the situation may result in some action on their part to jointly resolve the matter. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Galloway, seconded by Alderman Puttick that a notice, by prepaid registered post, be sent to Mr. R. E. Kern, 6776 Dunn Street, directing that the property owned by him be adequately drained as required by the provisions of By -law 6318, 1963; further, that a deposit in the amount of $200.00 given to the City by Mr. Kern to assist with the remedial action, be returned to him.

ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Wilson, seconded by Alderman Schisler that Mt. David Glen be granted permission to address Council. Mt. Glen, Chairman of the Development Committee, introduced Mr. Hugh Savigny, Treasurer and Mr. Ted Taylor, Manager. He reviewed the development of the airport over the past six years and commented on the financial assistance provided by the Federal Government to build a runway suitable for modern aircraft, the terminal and a traffic control tower. The Government, he said, also deemed it necessary to establish a meteorological station for the benefit of fruit growers and agriculturists and the terminal was extended to accommodate the station. Mt. Glen said that the 100 per capita contributed by the participating municipalities has become totally inadequate to keep machinery in good working condition. Included in the benefits to the area was the fact that the airport is being used by a great many industrial jets and the use of the facilities on a regular basis by local companies. The airport, he said, could be put to greater use in the future if the runway could be extended to handle aircraft from all over the world. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Scott, seconded by Alderman Schisler that Mr. Hugh Savigny be granted permission to address Council. Mt. Savigny advised that the Federal Government has contributed two million dollars to the airport and is maintaining the traffic control tower which is staffed by five operators; the meteorological station has two operators. The annual budget for the operation of the tower, he said, greatly exceeds the amount budgeted for the remainder of the airport operations and the requested increase amounts to 3% of the total investment. The additional income will be used for the remodeling of the runway, equipping airport vehicles with radios, lowering the pump house, to construct new drains and to repair and resurface runways damaged by the excessive flooding experienced during the winter. Continuing, Mr. Savigny confirmed that all participating municipalities have been asked for similar increases. The Regional Municipality did not approve a request for a grant or financial assistance in operating the runway. Mt. Savigny said that of 76000 movements out of the airport, 5500 a year or better than 100 per week are itinerant aircraft, that is aircraft coming from the United States or other parts of Canada. H. G. Acres are vary much interested in the airport and have operated their own aircraft; local Federal representatives use the airport facilities. Replying to questions by Alderman Galloway, the speaker advised that the City of •St.Catharines contributes approximately $26,378; the Town of Niagara -on- the -lake $3,115; the Town of Thorold $3,829 and the City of Niagara Falls $16,067; the total budget being approximately $49,390. Under the present agreement, which is in effect until 1975, the participating municipalities contribute .150 /capita for capital costs, .100 /capita for the operation budget; in 1970 the Commission requested, and was granted, an additional .100 /capita; the request this year is for another .150 - a total of .400 per capita. ORDERED on the motion of Aldermen Clarke, seconded by Alderman Hunt that the communications from the Megan District Airport Commission be received and referred to the 1971 Budget. Comm. 83 • Niagara District Airport Commission - Advising that, in accordance with the agreement under which the Commission was established, the members have approved the appointment of Mr. Jack Merritt end Mt. Joe Montgomery; requesting that Council appoint these persons to the Commission for the year 1971. Aldermen Clarke raised the question of why the Commission had not accepted all the name. submitted by Council to act as business representatives. The City Clark explained that, according to the provisions of the agreement, the business representatives were to be named by the Commission and appointed by City Council. In the past, the Commission has been notified of Council's wishes in regard to the business appointees and Council had proposed three names for the year 1971. Aldermen Puttick enquired why the Commission was requesting the appointment of only two persons whereas the City le entitled to three representa- tives and why Mr. Simpson's name had not been mentioned. The City Clerk replied that originally the Council had submitted the names of Mr. J. Merrett, Mr. C. Ferrell and Mr. C. N. Simpson. The Clerk had been advised that Mr. Simpson, because of his residency in St. Davide, could not sit on the Commission as a Niagara Falls representative.. W was also advised that Mr. A. A. Mackin had been *eked by the Commission to become a member but the appointment had not been con- firmed at the time the letter was written. 6 It -6- ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schisler, seconded by Alderman Wilson that Mr. T.Taylor be granted permission to address Council. Mr. Taylor stated that the appointment of Mr. MacBain of Niagara Falls had dust recently been confirmed. There was one appointment to be confirmed from the Town of Thorold and three more members would be named at the next meeting of the Commission. In the agreement, he said, the Commission is given authority to name the business appointees. In some instances, he said, the names suggested to the Commission may not be accepted because the individual is not known to the members or the Commission may prefer another person who they feel will be able to contribute more. Mr. Taylor stated that both Mr. Merrett and Mr. Montgomery were invited to remain on the Commission and to continue in their present capacity. Alderman Puttick asked why the Commission had not appointed Mr. Farrell, as proposed by Council. Alderman McKinley suggested that the Commission be asked to provide the answer to the question in writing. Alderman Clarke suggested that Council also be supplied with an up to date list of all members of the Commission.

NEW BUSINESS GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TO COMBAT UNEMPLOYMENT Alderman Thomson expressed his concern about the indication that the Regional Government would have the first opportunity to take advantage of both the Provincial - Municipal Employment Incentive Program and the Federal - Provincial Special Development Loans Program. He pointed out that should the Region decide to participate in the programs, it was possible that they would use all the available funds and the area municipalities would receive no particular benefits. He suggested that the Regional authorities be advised that the City would be interested in participating in the programa at the local level. ORDERED on the motion of AldermanThomson, seconded by Alderman Clarke that the Regional Municipality of Niagara be notified that the City of Niagara Falls is interested in taking advantage, at the local level, of the subsidies available under the Provincial- Municipal Employment Incentive Program knd the Federal - Provincial Special Development Loans Program; further, that the area municipali- ties be advised of Council's decision and requested to take similar action. 7EIBPHONE TOLL CHARGES Alderman McKinley reported that at the recent public meeting with Prime Minister William Davis, he had had an opportunity to speak with the Honourable D. Bales, Minster of Municipal Affairs and discussed the long distance toll charges that local residents must pay to make telephone calls within the municipality. For example, a resident of that portion of Crowland Township, now part of the City of Niagara Falls, must pay the long distance rate to phone a party residing in the former City. The Minister indicated that he would write to Ball Canada to enquire as to what action can be taken and what is proposed for the future and the information will be forwarded to the City Hall. It is realised, Alderman McKinley said, that it is difficult to resolve the problem until the City of Welland agrees to the toll free system established by Bell•Canada and now in operation in the City of Niagara Falls and the City of St.Cetherines. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - SEASONAL LABOUR It was moved on the motion of Alderman Puttick, seconded by Alderman Hunt that the City Manager be directed to contact the Mayor of the City of Toronto end enquire as to the background of Toronto's decision to request the Federal Government to extend the Mey 15th termination date of seasonal Unemployment Insurance benefits{ further, that consideration be given to the City of Niagara Falls taking similar action.

DEPUTATIONS Como. 96 - yons Creek Home and School Association - Requesting that a delegation be granted permission to address Council in respect to the proposed closing of Lyons Creek School. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Clarke, seconded by Alderman Scott that Mrs. D. H. Taylor be granted permission to address Council. Mrs. Taylor, President of the Lyons Creek Rome and School, said that the Association has asked the Niagara South Board of Education to carefully reconsider the decision to close the school. A recent demographic study, she aaid,•projette a population growoh the Willoughby- Chippewa area and that it would be economically sound and in the best interests of the students to have the school remain open. She advised that developers have indicated their intention to build town housing in the area within two years and, for this reason, the Association is attempting to prove to the Board of Education that it would be uneconomical to close the school. Mrs.Taylor asked that City Council confirm, in writing that (1) building permits are already issued, or may be issued, with the existing facilities inChippawa, to contractors listed in a study of the develop- ment in Chippewa; (2) that the sewage disposal system in Chippewa io being improved during 1971 by diverting store water from the existing disposal plant to allow a greater capacity for the present plant and (3) that the plan for enlarging the present sewage disposal system is being negotiated at the present time and definite plans are in effect which would indicate that it will be in operation within two years. The City Engineer replied to the first item pertaining to the number of building permits issued and provided the following information: In 1968,32 building permits were issued for single family, two - family and multi - family dwellings - a total of 43 units. In 1969,24 permits were issued involving 55 units which included 12 units for an apartment buil:leg that was not proceeded with. In 1970, 19 permits were issued involving 19 single family units. In 1971, 6 permits have been issued for six units. The second item requested confirmation that the sewage disposal syotem in Chippewa would be improved during 1971. The City Manager stated that the City does not propose' to undertake any substantial changes in the sower system in 1971. • In answering the third item which suggested that the enlargement of the present sewage disposal system is being negotiated, the City Manager stated that there are no negotiations being carried out to extend the urban service area to the former Willoughby Township. Hs indicated that the system has been designed to permit an expansion at aces future date. When requested by Mayor Miller to comment on the pumping stations, the City Engineer stated that a large pumping Itation will permit the existing prefabricated sewage treatment -plant to go out of operation since the sewage will be directed into the large pumping station which will be located on the north side of the Welland River. This installation will allow expansion to the south of the former Village of Chippewa. A planning proposal to expand to the general area of Willick Road cannot be proceeded with Until the pumping station system is installed. At the end of lest year, the Region had O.M.B. approval for the outlet pumping station to the north of the erne, west of the Hydro Canal. The approval of O.M.B. for the remaining expenditure has not yet been obtained but the item will probably be included in the Region's 1971 Budget. Mr. Rodman said that he, personally, estimated that Stage 2 of the system would not be started until next year and that it would be the end of 1972 before it could be put into operation. Aldose Puttick asked for information regarding a deadline given by the O.V.R.C. for the closing of the present system in Chippewa and the imple- mentation of new.puaping facilities. The City Engineer stated that in 1967 or 1968 the O.W.R.C. had put considerable pressure on the City to clean up pollution problems at the south end of the Old City and a schema was developed. The schema 2. Council met in Committee of the Whole following the regular meeting held on March 15, 1971. All Members of Council were present. Alderman Puttick presided as Chairman.

Council Chamber, March 15, 1971. Mayor -2 • was enlarged to permit extension south of the river when it was discovered that there were sewage problems at the existing Chippewa plant. A resolution of Council indicated that the former City sewage works would be implemented around the middle of August, 1971. The City had obtained O.M.B. approval for the engineering of the first part of the total scheme in 1969 and this had been proceeded with. The Region was then required to re -apply for 0.M.B. approval again. Mr. Rodman said that he believed that the total matter would be given high priority but he did not believe it would be built until the latter part of 1972. The treatment facilities, he said, would allow expansion to the south; the urban service area'has not been extended to that area but this could be done when services are installed. The City Engineer said that he was unable to confirm that development would take place, he could only say that it "could" take place. Alderman Clarke expressed the opinion that,et the present time, the City would have no grounds for refusing permits to develop serviced lots and applica- tions for the development of unserviced lots. He enquired if the 0.W.R.C. had issued an ultimatum regarding the capabilities of the present disposal plant.The Engineer said that he could only state that there had been no ultimatum by the 0.W.R.C. although the Commission might take a close look at any new sewer installations.

No. 98 - Alderman N. J. Puttick - Re: Resignation from Niagara District Airport. In commenting on his reasons for submitting the resignation, Alderman Puttick expressed dissatisfaction with the method used by the Commission in appointing business representatives; the Commission's disregard of Council's wishes in respect to business appointees and that the business appointees had been submitted by the Nominating Committee of which Mr. J. Montgomery is Chairman. Alderman Puttick al_e reported that he was unable to obtain satis- factory answers to questions regarding a substantial increase in the coat of a building addition at the Airport. It was the opinion of Alderman Thomson that the continuing conflict between Alderman Puttick and Mr. Montgomery was purely of a peraonal nature and several members of Council agreed with him that every Alderman must accept the responsibility of serving on various committees, boards and commissions. It was moved on the motion of Alderman Bearas, seconded by Alderman McKinley that the communication be received and tabled until information is received from the Airport Commission ae to why the Commission did not accept all the business representatives suggested by Council.

The City Engineer replied to several questions by Alderman Scott and indicated that the main problem with the proposal would be the interpretation of the word "service" since adequate service to one contractor might not be adequate service to another. Mr. Rodman said that the interpretation of "service" would have to be left to the contractor ultimately since the service was an integral part of his contract. Alderman Scott expressed the opinion that the supplier should be responsible for making his own contacts with the contractor to obtain contract orders on material. He suggested that this responsibility should not rest with the contractor. Alderman Bearse expressed concern that acceptance of the proposal would eliminate competitive bidding. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Schisler, seconded by Alderman Thomson that .the communication be received and the complete clause suggested by Mr.Weightmaa be included in the preparation of tender documents.

Carried Unanimously NEW Alderman Thomson referred to a recent presentation to Council regard- ing a proposal to establish a private nursing home in the City. He stated that Mr. Rapelje and Dr. Sturgeon agree with Mr. Carruthers, Hospital Administrator, that the proposal could create serious complications in the future. The Alderman's investigations and enquiries had revealed that construction to provide 600 to 800 nursing home beds in the Region is presently underway or will be started in the near future. It is estimated by Mr. Rapelje that there is a waiting list of 253 for the Home for the Aged at the present time and, at the present rate of construction, it is feared that there will be a considerable number of surplus nursing home beds. Alderman Thomson noted that Mr.Carruthers, in a recent presentation to Council, had referred to the Gordon,Wood study and the necessity to co- ordinate all health facilities in the community. The Aldermen said that there appeared to be a rush by private. developers. to take 6. - 6 - advantage of recently circulated rumours that the Government plans to subsidize nursing home beds. While it might appear that the developers will pay far the nursing homes, if the Government plan becomes available, Ontario taxpayers will actually be paying the coats. Private homes, he said, do not have to comply with regulations which require Government homes to provide a recreational director and facilities, occupational therapy, arts and crafts, etc. The Alderman suggested that the Ontario Government be advised of the existing situation, the number of nursing homes presently under construction or about to be built and the recent submission to Council by the Hospital Administrator. Alderman Thomson also suggested that if private nursing home development was permitted to continue, existing legislation should be amended requiring developers to provide proper recreational facilities and programmes. The Aldermen requested that his comments be confirmed by Mr. Carruthers, Mr. Rapelje and Dr. Sturgeon and consideration be given to the preparation of an appropriate resolution to make the Government aware of the problems that have been created and to determine what steps can be taken to offset the increased number of nursing home beds. ORDERED en the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman McKinley that the comments regarding private nursing homes be referred to the City Manager for a report.

Kern had requested permission to address Council in regard . to the ponding condition on his property at 6776 Dunn Street. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman McKinley, seconded by Alderman Thomson that Mr. Kern be granted permission to address Council. Mr. Kern explained the difficulties he had encountered in attempting to rectify the ponding condition which exists at the rear of his property as well as other properties on Dunn Street. Owners of adjacent properties, he said, are not willing to contribute toward the construction of a required catchbasin.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Report 23 (1970) - City Manager - Re: Landlord and Tenant Advisory Bureau. Recommending that the formation of a Landlord and Tenant Advisory Bureau be deferred at the present time and (a) the Social Planning Council be asked to suggest a program to determine the need, if any, of such a Bureau; (b) obtain additional information from appropriate Provincial Departments regarding the authority to be given to the bureaux and (c) contact those municipalities who have taken advantage of the new legislation to obtain their comments. Comm. 113 - Social Planning Council - Submitting a report of the Landlord and Tenant Advisory Bureau Study Committee. The report recommends thatmaaL ldvo a Tenant Advisory Bureau be established at the appropriate that the Bureau staff provide a telephone information service; that, if warranted, a full time, paid employee be hired; that an eight member advisory bureau be established and meet on a regular basis to review the function of the Bureau; suggesting services to be provided by the Bureau and staff; that the program be implemented at the earliest possible date and, at the end of the first year of operation, the operation be assessed by Council or another appropriate body before continuation of the service. Alderman Thomson commended the Social Planning Committee for the excellent report and expressed appreciation for the assitance given by Mies Read and Mr. Falkenhagen. Re said that there is a great need for the service in the Municipality and pointed out that the Bureau will have no legal authority to impose restrictions on either a landlord or a tenant, but would act in an advisory capacity and assist in clarifying the various sections of the Landlord and Tenant Act. He noted that while it would be preferable for the Bureau to be operated at the local level, • there is sons question as to whether a municipality within a Region would be permitted to implement the service. Alderman Clarke agreed with Alderman Thomson's remarks and suggested that if it is not possible to proceed at the local level, Regional authorities should be strongly urged to approve the brief and adopt the recommendations of the Social Planning Council. The City Manager advised that the City Solicitor has reviewed the brief prepared by the Social Planning Council and has indicated that the authority to establish a Landlord end Tenant Bureau is vested in the Regional Municipality of Niagara.

Carried Unanimously NEW BUSINESS MOTOR BIKES IN CITY PARKS The City Manager will investigate complaints regarding the operation of motor bikes in Mitchinson Park which had caused considerable damage to the lawns. In reporting the matter, Alderman Bearsa said that motor bike operators also used the park during the summer months and young children using the wading pool are endangered. Residents of the area had reported the matter to the Police Department but had been advised that there was no legislation which prohibited motor bikes in City parks. URBAN RENEWAL COMMITTEE Alderman Puttick asked if any plans were pending regarding a meeting of the Urban Renewal Committee. In reply, the City'Mmiager gave a brief summation of the City's urban renewal program to date and pointed out that the City's project is confined to that area south of the City Hall on which a new police building was proposed. Unfortunately, he said, the Department of Public Works had sham some reluctance to proceed with a new building and the Council of the Regional Municipality had expressed a desire to have the Provincial Government finance the building rather than for the Regional Government to issue debentures. Alderman Puttick pointed out that the second phase of urban renewal was, generally, in the Centre area of the City. He suggested that a renewal project in this area could provide both a stimulus for the tourist industry and a method of combating unemployment. The Alderman suggested that the residents and business proprietors of the Centre area initiate a self improvement program Including the removal Of some of the signs and improving the appearance of existing buildings. In connection with the revitalisation of the Centre area, Alderman Puttick suggested that the City may wish to take advantage of the accommodation provided by the Niagara Falls Arens. Be cemented on the .possibility of renovations and an addition to the existing arena, the removal of Kitchener Street School and the closing of certain streets in the area. The City Nenager indicated that consideration will be given to Aldermen Pattick'e suggestions and desire to reconvene the Urban Renewal Committee. yaAF/IC 14ONT0 - HIGHLAND AVENUE - LUNDY'S LANE Aldermen Gallons! enquired If any progress had been made in the arrangements to instal traffic lights at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Lundy's lane. The City Manager stated that he had mentioned the matter to tegienal representatives and it was his understanding that the delay was due to insufficient regional Traffic Department staff. Nr. Tugging suggested that the ,matter be discussed et the scheduled resting with the Regional Public Works Cssmntttee on April 20th. S. i NIAGARA DISTRICT AIRPORT COlMISSION In view of the confusion that occurred during Council's consideration of the appointment of business representatives to the Niagara District Airport Commission, Alderman Galloway suggested that, at the end of the year, the City Clerk take steps to assure that members of Council are fully aware of the pro- cedure to be followed in making the appointments. The Alderman noted that more time had been spent on the appointment issue than on the Commission's request for an increased per capita grant. The letter to Council from Mr. J. Clement, he said, gave a certain amount of substance to the Commission's increased budget.

Council N were present presided . Also in attendance were W.D.Goodinge, M11V nkayala and G. Cook of Proctor &.Redfern Limited; representatives of the staff of the Regional Municipality of Niagara and members of the City's Engineering Staff. Mayor Miller explained that the purpose of the meeting was to hear Drummond Road - Portage r Road t -t Proctor Morrison AeaRoaddNetworkn regarding the Study. Comments of Mr. Vankavala Identification of Problems: 1. The existing Drummond Road Bridge has 20' between curbs; the Portage Road Bridge has 30' which affects traffic capacity; surfaces are generally uneven. 2. The intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Drummond Road is operating close to capcity; ay 3. The railway f separation isl create in poor condition; approaches are steep and narrow. 4. Twenty -eight traino a day are presently using the C.N.R. level crossing at Drummond Road and a grade separation is warranted. Existing Road System: The existing road system and the Kegioual.roade system were:ill Rho use uutcata4 of alidds:and.the remarks of Mr, Vanka•;ala. Spacing of Major Streets: Arterial roads are required at spacings of 1.25 miles; the spacing between Lundy's lane and Thorold Stone Road is 1.75 miles and 1.25 miles between Lundy's Lane and McLeod Road based on the criteria developed by the Department of Highways. As an interim measure, the Burdette Drive - Drummond Road route was established as a Regional road. Future Traffic: To estab ish future traffic volumes all previous studies were reviewed. thhere be heavy heavy t density d on Drummond t Road, s Portage c Road t increase; and Stanley; a heavy continuation of traffic,et the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and turning problems exist. To 'slLanehaspwell problems facility Thorold Thorold Stone Road and Lundy's rovements to existing structure; of Thorold ld Stone Road and Drummond Road; imp grade separation at Drummond Road and the C.N.R. and, because of the anticipated traffic, relief will be required on Bridge Street. Road Concept No.1: Morrison Street to be extended west from Portage Road to the Q.E.W. with a new structure over the Canal. The traffic analysis of this concept indicates that the Morrison Street artery provides relief to Thorold Stone Road and Bridge St. This concept does not resolve the problems at the. intersection of Drummond Road and Thorold Stone Road. Road Concept No.2: SL Street, south of the Drive the H.E P.C.Caml, is oneway eastb problems at the intersections of Morrison Street and Portage Read and Drummond Road and Sudatte Drive and this concept is not recommended. 'toed Concept No. 3: • tetrinaa scat extended with Road aacca s maintained to Bu dette Portage Road Drive, The advantage of Concept No. 3 is that two structures need not be replaced and the intersection at Tborold Stone Road and Drummond Road is simplified.

Members of Council asked numerous questions and the following information vas supplied by the Consultants and Staff Officials: 1. Morrison Street, south of the H.E.P.C.Cenal, will be re- named. 2. There will be a connection from Morrison Street to Burdette Drive on the section of Burdette east of Drummond Road and on the section of Burdette 3. Stage 6 (construction of a grade separation of Morrison Street Extension at west of Drummond Road. the C.N.R. tracks) is 'a very expensive undertaking due to the small angle of intersection which requires a longer span on the bridge. 4. Pettit Avenue, west of the C.N.R. tracks, will be "looped" beneath the structure to connect with Morrison Street on the south side. A walkway is anticipated to Morrison from Pettit with appropriate ramps and steps for . pedestrian use between the areas north and south of Morrison Street; the walkway will be et the same grade as the railroad. 4. 2 - Road Concept No. 4: Morrison Street is extended via Portage Road and Burdette Drive and a new right - of-way established west of Drummond Road; Portage Road is classified as a collector road; a new roadway would be proposed from Burdette to Portage to Stanley parallel to the canal to provide access to the area bounded by the Canal, Thorold the area and toOeimprove Road to However, development in indicates that Morrison Street will not provide the relief required and additional improve- ments to the scheme ate required. Road Concept.No.4A: Only Portage Road is terminated at the Canal; a new arterial is proposed from areronly Street structures other schemes. hemes. Concept No.4A does not provide the relief required to the overall system. Rnad Concept No.4B: in this concept a one -way system was considered to see if it was possible to maintain existing system without too much road widening; Drummond Road is one- way southbound; Portage Road northbound; Morrison Street eastbound and Burdette Drive westbound; Because of the one -way street system, turning movements and volume conflicts were observed at the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Drummond Road and could not be handled by a signalized intersection. The one- way concept is not recommended. Road Cone! 4C: Morrison Street is extended as a continuing facility and the one -way system on Drummond Road is maintained. Similar problems as in 4B were observed especially at the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Drummond Road.. Road Concept 4D: Portage Road is realigned west of the hydro canal; the overall collector system is improved; the future traffic analysis indicates that traffic volumes are manageable except at the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Drummond Road and the concept was not recommended. Road Concept 4E: brags Road is realigned; traffic volumes are manageable through this concept except that access is not provided to the area bounded by the hydro canal, Thorold Stone Road, the C.N.R. tracks and Portage Road. The scheme is not recommended. + Road Concept 4F: A new roadway is proposed from Portage Road to Thorold Stone Road commencing at Stanley Street to provide access; Portage Road is made a collector road and realigned to'Drummond Road and the number of structuresover the canal is reduced to two. The costs of Concepts 1 to 4F were compared and the cost Of Concept 4F is the lesser of the two by almost $900,000. Concept 4F is recommended for detailed study. Comments of Mr. G. Cook Stags 1: Construction of the Morrison Street crossing of the Canal and continuation to the west to connect to Portage Road and Drummond Road. The structure will be of an arch type. The four -lane section between the existing Portage Road and Drummond Avenue will be cul0sesaced11access will provided to Burdett Portage Pettit Drive. S 2: eoastruction of the Portage Road overhead is required because of the poor structural condition of the bridge and approaches. The bridge and approaches will be two lanes,in width with retaining walls. construction of the astatine Drummond Road bridge over the H.B.P.C. to a : four -lane width. It is anticipated that Drummond Reed will be widened to four lanes south of the bride ca ac with ith. the ng o f the Q.R.N. Lass property existing norrieem Street and Drummond Road will have to raisin open and it is possible that traffic will have to be detoured through a residential subdivision. 3. - 4 - 5. Portage Road will be terminated prior to its present intersection with Thorold Stone Road so that access will be provided for the businesses on Portage Road between Elisabeth St. and Thorold Stone Road. Through traffic to Thorold Stone Road would use Elizabeth Street and Carroll Avenue. 6. Stage 2 (grade separation of Portage Road over C.N.R.) and Stage 5 (re- alignment of Portage Road) will be municipal roadways - all others are Regional roads. 7. Capping of the Canal would be more expensive than the proposed new structures. 8. Bridge Street, a Regional Road, is considered to be an extension of Thorold Stone Road. Thorold Stone Road traffic uses Bridge St. and it provides relief to Morrison Street. 9. A considerable amount of property acquisition is indicated on Drummond Road on both sides of the railway tracks; property acquisition on the north side could possibly be reduced. 10. Morrison St. west of Stanley is a Regional Road; it is possible to direct traffic on Morrison Street eastbound, northerly along Stanley to Bridge St.; eventually this would cause Bridge Street to become congested and would necessitate improvements to Morrison Street east from Stanley Avenue. 11. Morrison Street, east of Stanley, is outside the terms of reference of the study. Because traffic studies indicate a desire to travel that route, it would appear that a study of the feasibility of a one -way system would be warranted. The spokesman for Proctor and Redfern indicated that they were not aware of the representations that had been made to Council regarding the concern of Morrison Street residents about the possibility of the street becoming a major route and the removal of some houses. It was suggested that recorded motions in similar situations should be brought to the attention of the consultants. 12. The proposed Niagara Freeway will terminate on Stanley Avenue south of Morrison Street. Although the Freeway is designed mainly for traffic bound for the Queen Victoria Park, it is expected that it will be used by local Stanley Avenue traffic. The Q.E.W. and the Freeway will provide relief to the north -south corridor for tourists as well as for local traffic. It was suggested that if the Freeway terminates at a City street, Government subsidies should be increased. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman Mann that Mr. J. Hennessey be granted permission to address Council. Mr. Hennessey, who resides at 4785 Drummond Road, questioned whether a destination survey of the roads affected by the Morrlpon Street Extension had been undertaken. Me also referred to Road Concept 4F wherein a new facility is proposed along the west side of the H.E.P.C. Canal connecting Portage Road to Thorold Stone Road and queried if traffic would, in fact, use this route. In replying to Mr. Hennessey's questions, Mr. Cook advised that the original studies were updated and traffic counts taken in different locations end on the arterial road system and collector system including local roads. These were compared with the projections made in earlier studios to determine if they could be used for planning purposes. Table 3 indicates the 1981 summer average daily traffic and shows origins end destinations by traffic :ones. Computer: were used, he said, to tabulate the various paths or routes and the minimum travel time of each trip. The origin - destination data from the 1963 Traffic Study was also computerized and the volumes on each "link" were accumulated to obtain the final traffic volumes for each road concept. Continuing, Mr. Cook stated that the function of the new roadway proposed from Portage Rd. to Thorold Stone Rd. parallel to the Canal, is to provide a route to Stanley Avenue for the residents of the area west of Drummond Road. The roadway will also provide access to the industrial area bounded by the Canal, Thorold.Stone Road, the C.N.R, tracks and Portage Road. ORDERED on the motion of Alderman Mann, seconded by Aldermen Wilson that Mr. R. Sewery.be granted permission to address Council, Mr. Bowery questioned the necessity of widening Morrison Street with the vaulting loss of private property. He requested that the wishes of the residents of Morrison Street be taken into consideration and that Council re- consider the proposed widening from Stanley Avenue to Victoria Avenue. It was pointed out by Mayor Hiller that the ores presently under discussion involves Morrison Street west from Stanley Avenue. 5. . Comm. 126 - Regional Municipality of Niagara - Advising that Regional Officials would be unable to attend the meeting to consider the Proctor and Redfern Report and requesting that the Consultants meet with the Regional Public Works and Utilities Committee on April 8th to make a presentation of the report.

Meuser be granted permission to address Council, Nr. Neuser spoke about the recent Provincial Government ban on the use of studded tires. He expressed the opinion that e review of the ban is essential because of the sa£ety benefits and the latest development in tire-. stud designs. A study of the Department of Highways Repert entitled '~tudy of Studded-Tire DameKe ann Performance in Ontario" reveals that, elthouKh the use of tire studs increased road damage, it also made drivin8 safer on rneds fully or partially covered with ice or snow-pecked roads.

The HiShwey DeparUment esttnmted that road repair costs would increase sub- slanttally over a ten year period if studded tires were permitted, however Heuser pointed out that the anntml cost per taxpayer amounts to less then one dollar. Because the analysis undertaken by the DaparUnent of Highways was .limited, Mr, Meuser questioned the statement that the study failed to indicate that studded tires contributed siKnificantly to the reduction of the severity of accidents, He provided further information which resulted iron tests obtained by the Canada Safety Council.tu~ludin8 decreased stopping distances and increased skid resistance, Mr. Heuser also mentioned that stud designs have been improved ann will Sreatly reduce the undesirable side effects on other then ice and herd packed snow-covered roods, In favourinS the nee of studded tires, Mr, 14euser cited the ham to local businesses because persons fron the United States visiting the area for n few hours would not be willing to removed studded tires in order to travel in Ontario, 14r, Heuser muSSested that the report of the Daparunent of HiShwe~s is worthy of betas studied in ..detail by n11 who are islet.sated in road safety, COt~NNICATIONS No, 138 - )fr, & t4r~.,.~ar Stanley - Objecting to the proposed construction of a ~ine-storey apcrUnent buildinS at the north-veSt corner of Portage Road and Thorold Stone Road, OiHIRED on the motion of Alderman Schisler, seconded by Alderman Wilson thee cite communication be received and .referred to Item One under reports, .- · No, 139 - Lyeno Creek HaM and School Association - Re:Closin8 of Lyons Creek School, Expressin8 appreciation to City 0fiiciels for the informlion prepared and mode available to t.tm Associationand for the ussiotanee 8iven by Alderman Hunt, ORliRBDenthemotion of Alderamn Hnet,.oeconnedby Alderman Clarke that the · nmmmiaation be received and filed, '!1o, 1~0 - MisSare Fells 14ogleinns* Assorts.Clan - RequestinS approval of n ,schedule for ten concerts. darius the 1971 season, allURED so the motion of Alderran Milson, seconded by Aldenran Herein list ~the ammmni~atimm be -roestud. and referred to the aQd.

Advistn8 that as s result of the trial o~ the action brought in the Supreme Court of Ontario by Onhswn Wholesale Limited and Niagara Dorchester Holdings Limited aSslust Canedin Niagara Falls Limited, the Building Inspector and the City, the Plaintiffs have been awarded cuscs aSainsC the City end Canedis; recoumendin8 that the City not appeal the decision. When naked if Canedie could Cake actinn agelast Cha City because of failure Co obtain O.M.B. approval of the pertinent by-laws, the issuance of e building permit and the expense incurred in demolishinS the "Canadians' attraction. the City Solicitor expressed the opinion CheC C~nadi~ ~ould have no legal claim against the City. By-law 7995 was passed im'AugusC 1969 and restricted the use of C~nadis lands and would nat permit the use of these lands for any type of shoppln~ centre. Because of the presentations made by the developers, the 1969 Council amended By-law 7995 in December to exempt the Canadia lands from thi~ provision. The 1969 Conucil, ha said, was in favour of the Canedie propweal although 8mm members of s~aff were not. The actions of tim City in 1969 and 1970were intended Co permit the Canadia development. By-law 7995 was intended to take camercial uses out of industrial zones, but because of the objections of CanadLa, Brighess Winery and H.C.Acres Ltd., the Byelawwas amended to exempt these properties. Following this action , obJectious were received from various merchants asssalaCious and the solicitor for the Towers c~a~lex. Since Council had already exempted three properties- it vat considered advisable to repeal By-law 7995 end the ~me_ndmenCs thereto, and this was done inAptSis 1970. The properties then reverted to the nam use as under the Stamford By-la~ No. 2350 which allowed coanercial development in industrial zones. The Towers shopping centre was established in a former residential ,sue and in not governed by the same by-law. Mr. Young did not recomnend that the City appeal the decision of the Supreme Court.

H.~s Worship Hayor F. J. l~iller esked the City Engineer, R.W.Rodman, to outline the hackSround relating to the report prepared by the firm of PrncCor & Redfern, In his explaueCion Mr. Rudmn pointed out that previous reports had rec0mended both Dressed and Porta~e Roads es arterial ruedways as ~11 as ~lorrison Street and its extension x. Mst to the Queen Elitebath ~ey. Following the preparation of reports bY the fits of M.C.Acres, the Council had considered it advisable to obtain · f~ther 'report ouClinin~ the possibility of · reduced number of bridges required in the PorteSo Rood-Dreamed Ruedol4orrison area. In the submitted report requested of l~octor & Redeem in 1970 end dated Harch,l~71, it wee reememnded that the Morrison Street orsgain8 of the H.E.P.C.Csnsl be constructed ·s · first stage end that the concept recounended by them would reduce Poreage Rued to the status of a collector street, The ~:uuuond Road oressinS was also suggested but it ~.!t proposed to phase out the Portage Road crossing ~hen the existing bridge ~me no longer ussble. In a report to Council dated J~ne 2C, 1971, iC was indicated thac Drummond Rd. and Morrison St. would be developed to four lane seaud·rd.~hl~e ~OreaSe Rd, .~oold remain nea collesSor sexsots or& t~o lmk standard, It wes else suggested that es · compromise, Port·go Road should resin open at its intersection with Thorold Stone Road. The usa of PerUSe Rd, ·s a collector street would suheeantislly reduce ~he cot of the eoostruction of · bridge over the C.N,R. gabash line, It would sloe reduce the out of lend ecquisition thee ~.7ould be required if Portage Reed wore made a four lane artery. Portage ~. in now under she City*s Jurisdiction end the soyinto wOold b· to the City. Aidemen McKinley pointed out that at · usetins held with RoBSemi officials on August 3ist, · discussiam ~es held on this mater and it was his impresslos thee ReSions.l authorities would be prepared to accept · design ~hioh would provide that Foresee Road would remain open at Tsarold Stone Road, In reply, the City En8ius·r elated thee the portiere of Poreage Rd,lyin8 between Sailinget Street end l~orold 8to~s Road was under the Jurisdiction of the boise, ~e further st·ted that it ~s nosesgary for the R·gionel authorities to be aware of the tityes plan as e~y decision will relate direcCly to chat sectSam of readmy trader lbalonel Jurisdiction, Mr, Rodsan also elated that eny dealsion of Counoil will dire~t ·feast tbs pleas of the l~2ion if it affected Dressed Reed, For ·maple, he ·aid, the dealtMaSon of Portego Road ee · four-lane artery would hove the eftsot of Shiftedge trellis floes, Aidemen HaKiuley was of the opinias thet the ILtlioutl Diroetor of Bngineering~ C,MeUidt~ hed lndioeged the Region could live with whatever decision was reached by the local munici- pality. l~r. Rodman replied that it tms his impression that the Region would consider any suggestions of theCity, but that no definite ccunitment had been made, Considerable discussion followed durin~ x~hich His ~orship Hayor Nillet indicated that his understanding of the Re,~ion's position was that if it was the decision of Council to leave Portage Road open as at present, with some ~m.nrove- manes, it xTould be necessary for the Region to purchase property at Cha corner of Portage Rd. and Thorold Scone IM. for the improvement of the intersection. Alderman Puttick neCed that Thorold SCone Road is a straight east-west arterial road and questioned the necessity o~ acquiring the bank building at the inter- section. He also suggested that traffic lights would be necessary et the intersection of Dru~aond Rd. and BurdeCCa Drive as well as at the intersection o~ ~iorrison Street and he questioned the ult~ce aim of the proposal. The City Engineer agreed that the ultimate aim was co '~ove traffic., and pointed traffic lights were the only means of resolvim~ intersection problems without the necessity of an overpass. Traffic lights, ha said, ~ould undoubtedly be required on Dr,m~Ld Road st the n~.~ Herrisen Street alignment in the future, The purpose of the alternate scheme reconnended by the Engineerin~ intended to acc.~.~da~e an existin~ situation, Co satisfy the concern established businesses in the area and co overcome n serious traffic problem. l~r.Rodman indicated thst this could be accanplimhed by the construction bridges rather than three structures as initially proposed. Portage Rued between Thorold drone Road and 14orrison Street x~ould be designed as a collector road to accamodate the existing traffic velum of approximately 8000 vehicles per day, whereas the Proctor & Redfern recoanendation reduced the volume to per' day. The original Acres reconnendation had Portage Road un an arterial roadway ~Tlth approximately 16,000 vehicles per day. Replyin~ to several questions by Alderman Galloway, the City Engineer advised the~ the Region has asked for submissions from consultants Co design a four lane bridge over the R.E.P.C. Canal at Drummond Road. Alderman Bearss noted that the crnesimg o~ the canal ac 14errneon Street would be a road authority responsibility whereas the Portage Rd. end Dr,m~nd Rd. crossings are covered ltd. and there is a coot-sharing agreement in respect to these two structures. Alderman Puttick commented that if Portage Road remains open, the existing agree- mant will provide for the replacement of the bridge at dmt point, He suggested that the Re~ion would probably attempt to shift the agreement iron the Portage Rd. bridge to the l~orrison gt. structure. Hr. Rodman replied that if the Portage Rd. bridge is not required for replacement in the future· it would be logical co use ,the monies for another scheme. ro~d and that the traffic flox.~ remain as is aC 8000 vehicles per day with a possible improvement in the future to 16,000 vehicles per dey. Re noted that Stage I of the Proctor & Redfern recconendation ~,~uld be the construction a new bridge aC Herrisen Street end expressed the opinion that the cusc oE the structure ~.;ould be considerably more than the estimated cost. I,~'. ~rnderick suggested thac Road Concept 2, PlaCe ~ would be mere econ~mical an~ ~ould eliminate the cost of a nex~ bridge ac Herrisen St. and the cost of an arterial roadway rtmnin~ north end south along the Canal. IC would also provide e north- west eesC-;;~s C traffic flow, and one ~ey traffic on either side of the canal, The future x.7ldening of Portage Road to a £our lane artery, he said, ~.7ould encourage development in the area. In respect to the C.N.R. brides over the railway trsc~s, l~r.Broderick suggested that the ideal method x.7ould be to l~er the tracks and maintained that something better could be designed other than the plan indicated on l~late 17 of the P~'octor & Redfern report. i.~. D~oderick asked that Council go on record as opposing any proposal which involves the ultimate closing of the Portage Road bridge. ORIX~RXD on the marion of Alderuse ~rtin, seconded by Alderman Harm tlmt AoA.l~scBain be granted permission to address Council. Hr. l.~gcBain said that his clients, the Stamford Credit Union, have t~o properties in the subject area and he supported the submission made by l~r. Bredstick. He said that Niagara Falls is · smell City and perhaps could not afford the type of traffic fl~ enviss~ed in the Proctor end Redfern report. If there has been ~n increase in total neC population, he said, it has been ~"et~nifimnnt and suggested that increased traffic flm~s ~ill not he rapid: Hr.

Report 483 o City McnsSer - Re: Redevelopmeat of the V.L.A,"Pitton' Subdivision, RscmndinS preliminary approval of the proposal subject to six conditions enumerated in the report, The report was presented to Couneil at the meetinS held August 9th, 1971 and referred to the special meetleg, Report ~84 - City ~fnnaaer - Re: Amendment to ZooinS By-ls~.; 2590, Pitton Subdivision. Recor~np-adin6 approval o~ the required amendment end that Council ~ertify that the tenonlag will conform to the Official Plan when dmmdment 43 has been epproved by the ~inister of Hunicipal Affairs. e The City Engineer, Hr. R. ~. RoOman, reviewed the contents of Report No. 483 end on · tabled map indicated the existing Registered Plan 223 and the proposed plan of subdivision, He pointed out the roadway system of the new plan~tsich is similar to R.P. 223 with the exception of one additional road. 14r. ~_oOman elaborated on the conditions contained in the report: the ultimate widening elKslat Road will require a 110 ft. width and built upon properties on the east side of Kalar Road ~ill be required to dedicate 22 ft. for this purpose, The undeveloped lots will not be affected. Alderman Echisler considered that the 22 it, should be secured from all lots ~acin~ on Kslsr Road inasmuch as the City, in the future, will have to expropriate the additional frontage. Replying to a question by Alderman McKinley, the City Solicitor confirmed that a property owner who is not interested in subdividin~, cannot be compelled to Siva the lends to the municipality. Should Council take the stand that land for road widening purposes is required from all lots whether built upon or not, this then would be a condition of Councilss approval, The owner of a particular lot could not ~eforced to dedicate the lands consequently the plan would not be developed in accordance with Council*s wishes and the City would take no ~urther action at that time, Chorea Holdices, he said, by signinS the a~reement, have indicated that they ere prepared to enter into an agreement ~ith the municipality to provide all the items required by the City, which includes road wideninS. CentluciuS him remarks, the City Engineer said that it is proposed to round all street corners to the normal radius of 15 feet, Each road will require storm end sanitary sewers, curbs and ~utters, sidewalks, etc, A pumping station is required to service the new subdivision and a temporary prefabriceted underKronnd facility would be Ionsted, possibly, in the south°east ares of the plan. It is not expected that · trunk facility will be constructed in the umer. future lad therefore the temporary peeping station would remain in service for sme time. The property to the east of the plan o~med by when developed, will be serviced by the proposed p.~pinS station and the developer will be expected to contribute toward the initial cost of construction. It will also be necessary for the subdividere of the Pitton properties to deed lands to the municipality to eccmzmoOate the p,e.~ins station requirements. Rodman commuted on the problem experienced in the sobdivision due to the lack of sanitary emsmrs and it was hie contention that even without the redevelop* maut of the Pitton leads, sanitary facilities would hays to be provided ms the Department of Health had indicated that no forther building or development Mould be paxmitted until such services ere installed. The re-registration o~ the plan of subdivision wilt provide an econmnieel solution to the sewsSt problem im .tim ares inasmuch as the standard subdivialo~ services will be con- strutted at tim developers, aspen,o, The City will absorb the cat of the pumping elation end forcesin.

The indoor-outdoor type of pool, he said, provide the most economical operation based upon the hours of service available. The reduced requir~mnnts of '~elk-to' type pools was also explained. Hr.

He confirmed that initially the YeH,C.A, did not envisage an indoor-outdoor facility. Mr, Paul Lows said that it is the desire of the'Optimist Club to establish recreational facilities at property on He~chester Road. The plans include rin~s end football fields, If a swieming pool is to be constructed at this site a permanent type of facility would be preferable and the ~lub would require fiusncinl assistance.

Alderman Bearas requested that the Recreation Director c~o~u~_at on the need of swinming facilities, location, priority of such an expenditure and the relationship of the proposal to the overall recreational needs. Nr. Snees advised that a report was being prepared on long-range recreational needs. The report will deal with the requirements from five to ten years and will be available shortly. The portion of the report relating to swimming facilities has been considered by staff members. The ~ecreation C~iasion, he said, has not had an opportunity to consider this specific pro- pneal, Alderman Hartin provided information as to the cost of operating pools in other municipalities.

Report 623 - City MOnster - Re: Bridge over the Welland River at Stanley Avenue. Submitting a copy of the Region's response to the Cityts request re~arding the construction of a bridge over the Welland River; noting that the Region has indicated that decisions concernin~ the long-term roadway plans in the vicinity are necessary before proceeding with bridge construction; rec~,m~edinS that the Chairman of the Regional Public WorEus C~nmittee and the Regional Director of Engineering be invited to attend the Council meetin~ on October l~th to explain the proposals. On behalf of Council. His Worship Mayor Miller welcomed Councillor W. Andres. ~. Scott, E.* Mitchelson and C.H~Eidt,Otrector of Engineering. Mr. Etdt addressed Council in respect to the Ct~y's request that the Region construct a bridge across the Welland River at the end of Stanley Avenue to provide a connection from the north side of the Welland River to Lyona Creek Road and to assume Stanley Avenue from MeLted Road to Lyons Creek Road as s Regional facility. Mr. Bide explained that the Region is bound by the criteria of the Roads Needs Study in establishing Regie~al road systems and making -. ,. decisions ~sith respect to nmJor expenditures. Re ssid that prior to the manration of ReSionnl Gavefoment the consulting firm of Proctor & Redfern had been ensaged to carry out a study of the possibility of constructing a bridge across the ~Felland River and the Public Works Cmxmittee agrees that the proposal sulnnieted by the consulting firm is warranted. The study ~as sane to the Depart- sent of Hlghx.my who ruled that the proposal did not meet the Road Needs Study and consequently the Region was unable to proceed..The Public Works Cmmittee · feels that it in vital to the City of Niagara Falls to have another connection across the Welland River and turned to a planninS procedure and suggested that consideration be ~tven to a "transportation corridor,, from the Reinhew Bridge and Toronto via various routes across the Welland River. Subc~,~.!ttee ~ 4, established to consider this .particular problem. did not consider that another study would be ~arranted in view of the studies already available and the cost involved. The four !x. revinas studies have been reviewed and a cos~oaite plan prepared ~hich cocld provide a workable solution, The Director of anSinearing consented on eha various methods of providing a north-south treespotation corridor around Queen Victorin Park but pointed out that sane proposals would not service the tourist coumrcial area in the vicinity of the Park, Clifton Hill and the Falls View area which are presently serviced by 8fanlay Ave. end Buchanan Ave. Likevise, the termination of the corridor at River Road and Dufferin Islands would not service the existi~8 built-up areas. The more desirable approach appears to be the extension of · service corridor across the Wellend River. Mr. Side suBBasted that it would he nany years before the proposed Niagara Freeway would be fully built but, in the meantime, some sections my be required to relieve traffic flows. Before proceeding with · brides design it is required that the City Council indicate that they generally aSree with the norehesouth traffic earrider coneapt and the proposed extension of the NitSera Fromy south of Mclaod Road. Carfield 8treat ~.muld be utilised as · road silowanes and improvements to the street would encourage traffic to use FaLood Rd, and 8eeuley Ave. thus relicvine the congestion at the inter- seeCi~ of Pareses Rd. and !eicod Reed. If the City opprores the propreal, the Region will be in · pnsitiou to epprouch the Deparemene of transporation end Cemunieations, The bSioeel l~blic Works Ceemittee has recommended to the seeease Regional Council that the item be placed in the 1972 budget end construction of the bridge could commence upon receiving the approval of the Departmat. Hayor l~iller thanked l~r. Etdt for his presentation and indicated that the proposal will be disousaed further by Council.

The Alderman reported that residents of the area ere concerned that the firehall was not properly staffed.

The City Clerk noted that the cocdi- tions at the Dorchester Firehall had been mentioned at an earlier meeting end a report on the matter was bein$ prepared. TENDERS Alderman Tnce~on said that durinS the past few menthe he had studied the arechad of tenderin$ in the City of Niagara Falls as veil as in ocher area municipalities within the Region and sugSested that other municipalities are receiving lo~er ~enders and paying less for products required by all areas. He said that there were many products that could be purchased on a bulk basin which vocld not affect local businesses and volume purchasing by the Region could keep cases within reason.

The City Engineer, i.W.Xodmn, indicated CheC the intent of the die- cussion was to make a decision ·s Co the desirability of · north-south traffic corridor, the first phased '~hich would be the development of S~anley Avenue. In considering a north-south Craffis corridor, he said, it Is desirable'.- to connect fran CIte north limit of the City Co the south limit from Highway ~05 to the Q.!~.W, and ultiumcely co the City of Welland and this connection must be 81yen omasidermtion. The original study prepared by lMLeue Cather indicated · north- south freeway which ran from McLend Road and east across Stanley Avenue with an exit onto a perking area in the general Ires o~ Dufferin Islands. This aches did not provide · connection Co Stanley Avenue and consideration of this item by Sobcoemittee ~/~ indicated the desirability o~ a con·action end · north-south corridor' to Stanley Ave. end ultimately the ereseine. of the Welland liver. This basic scheme led Co the conclusion that · more desirable location of · roadway camnetting Stanley Co Is·rests wuld be in the ·ran of Cotfield Road with an nitirate intersection In the general ares of Stanley end Corfield, The second possibility was traffic bsin6 Sonsrated eovCh of Cotfield by the north-south corridor, The Region has rsquesCnd CountSite approval of this eew lc~ation.

Traffic flow to the east wuld be handled by s of the freeway along the approximate route of Cotfield Road. Hayor t4iller asked if there had been any assurance from the Depart* sent of Tronspnration and Cowmunications regarding the providing of an entrance to the Q.E.W. from Buchanan Avenue. Traffic north of Ferry wuld connect back to Stanley Ave. and there Mould then be a flyover of the Q.g.W.extenelon where COen~Ction would be possible for vest bound traffic; east bound traffic would nee an exit to the Q.g.W. located south of the Q.E.M. extension.

Ward Roa.m~, presented a brief resum of the backSround and events leadens to the retention cf the firm of P=octor &Redfern to study the need for three bridSes in the area bounded by PortaSs Road, Drummond Road and Morrison Street. K. Smith, Chief anSinear, Transportation Section, Proctor &Redfern, explained thee the purpose of the study was to consider the eras of Drummond, Portage and Morrison St. and attempt to develop a scheme to minimize proposals for the liydro canal and the railroad line. The consultants studied trsf£ic conditions, future requirements and as a resul~ o£ these studies ~ere able to develop various road concepts. Other factors considered included Dr~me~nd R~. visibility problema, structure deficiencies, width of bridSes, arterial read spatinS, major road spacing, the bridge system and the cost ticfor. In reviewins the Acres report of 1963, the consultants determined that the 20- year projections, based on traffic counts at key locations, ~ere less then 3 per cent of those actually found inthe field and were sufficiently accurate for planttinS purposes. Mr, Smith then reviewed the various concepts and indicated the affected reeds, canal crossings and railroad crossinBs on projected maps. Concept 1 - The ~roposel contained in the Acres report of 1963. Concept 2 Morrison St. and Burdette Drive, east. of Dr,--~ond Rd, become · "one-way pair'* to minimize number o£ cronsinSs; Portage Rd.remains as It present, Problem: ~urnin8 may*smears could not be hendied at the intersec- tions of Norrison end Pottap end Druns~nd P,d, at Sundette Drive. Concept 3 -~orrieou St, is interme&ted at D~umaond IM, at riSht anSle to minimize turnin~ problems at the one-way configuration. PrOblem -Morrino~ end lh----ond unmanaSeable from traffic standpoint, Concept 6 - Bu~detta Dr. is utilized east o£ Druemond. PortaSe R~ad is widened acres canal to 6 lanes, D~ummond Road is extended north and aouth at ~resent alignment. Problem= HiShturning ~ovements at intersections.. Concept ~, - Involves remmml of PortaSs Rd. structure, down~radinS PortaM ltd. to local setvies between canal end Thorold Stone Reed, Problem: Traffic ~n M~rrisee tmsnsBnabla frou traffic standpoint. Concept AB One-way pair system on M~rriesn 'and Burdates and prowlsira eatenteal road on de east side Of PortaM alone ida the canal for development purposes. Drwseon4 Xd. v~uXd be one way southbound end tortaSs would be one way northbound, L~oblem: Teo ore-way pairs ton far apart to operate efficiently, Concept 4C - Sistier tn that portage Rd. is developed as a major artery and is one-way northbound; Drummond Is one-way southbound. Problem: Streets too far apart to afford one-way operation. Concept ~D - Portage north of canal remains in the system end this concepC envisages crossin~ of i4orrison directly vest from present limit at Portage Rd. with a connection to portage on the north side nf the canal. Thorold Stone Road Is confined to what it is today, Concept was feund fairly acceptable. Problem: Operational problems at Thorold StOne Road - ~urther rnfineo mant required. Concept ~E - Portage Reed is terminated at the north limit before ic reaches Thorold Stone Road to provide a better operational configuration at Thorold Scone Road proper. Concept ~F - Recommended. 14orrison is extended ~est past the school with a connection midway along the existing PortaSe Rd; Portage continues present slitanent and remains an arterIal roadway. The portage Road structure would not be replaced when it becc~es uneerviceable, estimated to be in approximately 10 years. The scheme involves a new structure over the canal at Drtnwnnnd Road sad also a new structure at Herr·son St. grade separation on Drummond at railway line. The total coat is estimated to be slightly less than one million dollars chea~er than the schem originally any·eaSed. The recommended concept maintains a Seed traffic pattern, there Is one last creasing of the canal and a lesser structure at the railway line. The City Engineer elaborated on the events leading to the decision of Comxcil to adopt Road Concept ~D, Place 11, as modified. He pointed oat that the main objections to Concept/,F, as rec--i-.~ded by the consultants, was the removal of the bridSe over the canal at Portent Road, the anticipated reduction of traffic on this section end removal of the connection to Thorold Scone Road on Portage. The .proposal reduces the present traffic vol,~e' from 8000 vehicles per day to ~000 vehicles per day which would be a hardship on certain c~'~cIsl enterprises on Portage north of 14err·son St. After investigation, the City*s maninter·uS deparment recc*--uded Concept 4D, described as a c~mPromise aches. In this plan Mort·non St. remains an arterIal roadway, Dramwend Rd. Is arterial' with a connection to Portage which is a collector road. The one way system, south on Dr,-mond and north on Portage to Thorold Stone Rd. would remaIn; traffIc voltme on Portage would r_m~in at 8000 vehicles per day. At · meeting held Sept_-eher 20,1971, Council adopted Concept ~D, Plpte 11, with · rider that no decision would be made on the ultimate replacement of the Portage Rd. bridge over the Hydro carnal until such time as the bridge ves in need of replacement. The intent of the resolution, he said, was for the City to retain the agreement wi.Ch Ontario Hydro regard·aS bridge replacement until a decision was ~ade in respect to the percent IM. structure, 14~'. J. Rennessey said that at tiaras there Is · great deal of talk about "grand schemes that never materIslIsn or are only partly done". He said that if Neff·son St, in extended end developed as an arterIal roadway to the City Rell and north past the Q.E.W. to Join up ~ith industrial lands, it will b· a Regional responsibility ned not the respoesibility of the City. He expressed concern that the proposal would.be done in *~its and pieces" and would cans· a "lot of BrIef and econmnical Ions to certain individuals, Nro Henriessty referred to the Regional Roads Nendd' Study which covers the road needs for the nex~ 10 years the estimated cost of which is. 80 million .dollars and questioned the availability of such an mmmt if the provincial and federal Severnants did not contribute, -Mr,!tsur4_ee Edmards .read from · prepared brief copIes of which wore dis- tributad to members of Council, He reiterated hie request that the City retain the ~ortmtm Roa. d bridge and repair or replace it ~ben deemed maccanary, Aa an · alternate scheme to develop an east-welt artery ha suifmmted the utilismtion of Thorold 8teem Road rather than Norrison Street. Nr, adwsrds cited emny reasons why Concept 4D. uso not an steeptable plan,. coot, enpro~rIstion of property, the extension of 14err·see St, ·ely as far as Dornhestar ibl. near To~ers ~lssm, tIM nee·emit7 of an·that railsoy -or·as·q, dsm2n to oxIstiq businesses and has if ~oetsgm Ud~ is oloosd,-:increas·d traffic an ~ortsp Id, between 14sin St. sad : Ho~isea end the ~hreat of omWsq~egtiat deeSpa sad injurious arrest·on court '3 14r. J. Broderick said thac the main concern of his client, Cale*s Gas Bars, is the adverse effect on existing business on Portage Rd. north of Norrison St~ if the Portage Rd. bridSe is eliminated. He said there was no conflict with residents of Portage Rd. south of Norrison St.; if the bridge ~and roadway remain as they are, everyone will be satIsfied. 14r. B~oderick questioned the statement that the construction of a new east-west crossing at ~orrieon would cost less than maintaining the present Portage Rd. bridge. The speaker urged members of Council to maintain ParCaSe Rd. insmat suitable manner satis- factory to all parties. Hr. A. A. ~XacBain acting on behalf of the Stemford Credit Union, said because his client has two offices on Portage Rd. they are vitally interested in cmmercisl development of the area. He said he was not asking for/~-lana bridges anross the canal and railway tucks but merely ~anted Council to retain the Portage Rd. bridge and, when necessary, replace it with · similar structure. t4r. Macgain expressed concern about the lack of a Sunrantee that the funds to be provided by OntarioH~drounder the existinS aSceement, would be retaIned until · decision is made concerning a new creasing of the canal at Portage Road. He also suetested there ~as no real evidence that the 8ro~th poCencial of the area. vatranted en east-west arterIal roadway to the ~forrison St. extension. " Dr. H. Pohran addressed the meCIsg on behalf of 100 haneo~mers residing on Portage Road who have personal and business interests in the area of Mort·son St. to the hospital. He said that Portage Rd. is a collector and its winding pattern does not lend itself to widen·aS. The widenins of PortaSs Rd. to make it an arterial roadway, ha said, would be a fomidable fiosncIsl undertaking that must be rejected. Dr. Pohran suggested that the north-south traffic problem could be resolved by the widening of Dr,~ud Road and allowing Purta~e Rd. to remain a two-lane collector road. He agreed the Mort·son St. extension in a solution to the problem of heavy traffic flou in an east-~mst direction. l~r. Ceorge Burley spoke about the concern of the Do~.mCoun Business Assnc, about the future of the Queen St. business area and the widening of Morrison St. to a four-lane roadway extending to Dorchester Road. He referred to urban renewal discussion which proposed that Morrison St. would become an east-vest arterial roadway to the downtown area. Re sueSanted if Mort·son St. is extended westerly it would provide direct access to Towers Plaza and another proposed plaza 'for the area south of the Towers property. The Dosmtmm Business Assoc., he said, feels that these developers should not Set preferred treemeat, that ell business areas should be treated equally and have an equal chance of survival. During the question period ~hich followed Hr. C. H. Eidt, ReSional Director of Engineering replied to several questions by Alderman Putt·ok and made the fotlowin~ remmrks: Dr'wm~Ond Road and 14err·non St. are Regional roads - Portage Rd. is not. Under the original 1966 agreements Ontario llydro would pay that part of the cost of four bridges not subsidized by the Depart3aent'of Higtmsye - Thorold Stone Road, NcLeod Rd., D~mmond Rd. and Portage Rd. Xf the Portage Rd. bridge is rebuilt the subsidy will apply to the new st~uctnre - if it is eliminated it is assumed the funds Meuld apply to another bridge. Alderman Putt·ok referred to Council*s resolution to retain the $360,000 est4mted to be the ·nount payable by Hydro and enquirnd if the Region is prepared to negotiate with Hydro in re~ard to the NorrIson St. crossing of the canal. t~r, Eidt indicated the Region will be naB·tint·aS with Cuterie Hydro in respect to the Mort·son St. bridge, Continuing, Me. E~dt said the Rsgimml Public Works Ccunitteehes reviewed ths prop·rain for the Dxummond l~d, bridge submitted by Acres, reedon Asson·else and Proctor & Redfen. The Proctor & Redfern proposal has been selected by the ComaiOtas, 'The approval of the Hydro Comissionand the Depart- ment of Transportation sad Communications has been secured sad if the approval of the Regional Council is also obtained, the Con·tame will proceed with designs. Xf possible, tenders will be called in Nsrch 1972. The cotetruce·on period for the four-leo· structure will be approximately aloe m oaths. Based oo past reports, basically th· Acres report, the Region propnets to acquire property for the extenSion of tierrises St, from Drmmnoud Rd, to Dorehest·r IM.

He s~ated that any further discessions or .ac~ionb by council musk be conducted in the Council Ch_~m~ers.

PROPOSED SE~EI~IN CONST~UCTI~t~ - FR0~T establishcent o~ a north-south traffic corridor parallel to Stanley Ave. The Alderman suSSeseed that in order to provide direction for municipal s~nff, it was necessary to approve a desiBestion plan; without confirmation of the Council*s acceptance of such a corridor, staf~ did not have proper Suidence with respect to future traffic and planninS matters, He etated he was prepared to Sive notice that at she next regular metinS of Council he will propose a motion that con- firmarion be provided to the ReSioncl }iunicipality of Niagara that the City of NiPSare Fells has no objections to the filing of a designation plan; that the entire matter of providing a north-south traffic corridor and its effects upon the tourist areas be referred to the Traffic Advisory Coumitcee and an invitation be extended to 811 interested citizens to participate. Alderman Thc~on replied that while the Region were apparently familiar with the proposal, full information and opportunity for discussion had not been provided to the members of ~he City Council. He voiced his particular concern about the adverse effect of the Fre~sy upon l~ain St., Falls Vie~.7, Clifton Hill and other business and tourist areas. Alderman Thomson indicoced he was not prepared to agree to the motion proposed by Alderman Chessman until everyone concerned had an opportunity to thoroughly study the proposal. A thorou8h study now, he said, would eliminate the possibility of revereinS a decision at a ls.ter date, Alderman 14artin said in 1966 the City adopted a report un traffic pro- poeale prepared by DeLeu~-Cather and money had been allocated for the purchase of property required for the proposed Freeway. It was rather late, ha said, to adopt an entirely different procedure. It was the opinion o~ AldeTmn Chessmen that the term edesiSnstion plane did not 4m.~ose a riSid pattern which must be followed. Approval of the desiSna- tion plan, ha said, would mean the C~ty would be automatically informed of proposed development aloes the riSht-of-way of the traffic corridor. Alderman dallo~ay pointed out that the matter was unfinished business rather then new business and all that was required was for the matter to be aSsin placed on a Council aSenda and a final resolution made.
