Following further discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Martin and Ald.

There is some question as to whether the Hydro would reduce the slopes as pre- viously planned and they were testing the strip immediately north of Lundy's Lane and were awaiting the results. He suggested that the City wait until the full results are available on this test and in the meantime plans will be proceeded with to cross the bridge, at which time the City would be in a position to determine the exact cost between the two schemes; and suggested that this should be left as a separate i~em to be left as a separate item to be called at a later date.

Callender, Chairman, Niagara District Airport Commission, was present at the meeting, along with Mr. Joe. Montgomery, and it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Morton and Ald. Swayze that they be heard. Mr. Callender advised that the five year agreement between the municipalities and the Niagara District Airport Commission is now teI~inated and requested that the agreement be renewed for an additional five year term. He further advised that other Counci]s represented on the Commission have indicated they are going to renew; that one or two are still to be heard from. He pointed out that in the five years just passed the Federal Government have expanded $150,000. on lights, water system and radio making the air- port a 24 hour a day operation and it is now intended to go for runway extension dllring the next five years. Following questions from the Members of Council which were satisfactorily answered by the speaker, it was then ordered en the motion of Ald. Mitchelson and Ald. Cotfield that Mr. Burnett be permitted to speak. ]{e quer- ied the amount of money involved in the City and former To~]ship's participation and was advised by the City Clerk the amount was in the nei~lbourhood cf $21,000. Mr. Burnett advised that locs 1 pilots in the area feel that this expenditure has been thrown away, being of the opinion that the St. Cstharines Flying Club is being sub- sidized and that a small field could have been established which would take care ef all of our requirements, as the heavy transport aircleft are going to Niagara Falls, New York. ~. Montgomery stressed the fact that a five yea/' programme ~s required for an extension of the airport; that many executive aircraft are going back to Lhe smaller aircarft because they have fo~md out that the hi~ priced executive aircraft cannot be landed in many fields avai!ab]e in Canada and the U.S. to-day. He advised that the Niagara District Airport is functioning day in and day out~ not only being used by industries but by commercial enterprises as well. Mr. Montgomery stated that as a member of the Niagara District Airporu he would be absoluteiy against changing the name of the airport. Aid. Keighan spoke in fayour of continuance of the agreement pointing out that the subject was too important and getting more important if new ~ndustries are to be encouraged to locate in this area. Ald. Mitchelson referred to the close proximity of the airport and was of the opinion that the decision made five years ago was a good one and should be renewed. The Alderman referred to the criticism concerning the expenditure of $21,000. and was of the opinion that $4:000. yearly was not too large an amount, when the Fedezal Government expanded $150,000. in the same five year period which is indicative of their feelings that it was worth spending money on. A].d. Martin uho was a representative of Council fox' the first five-year period, felt that Council would be remiss to allow this very valuable location of the airport to slip through their hands and strongly recommended that the whole Council support the renewal of the agreement for another five years, if industrial and tourjam development were to be encouraged in this area.

On being queried by the Chairman, all members of the C~nmittee agreed that the explanation as advanced by the City Manager was acceptable. At this time a c~nmunication fro~ the Greater Niagara United Appeal with reference to grant procedure was read and following consideration it was sug- gested that this matter should be left in abeyance and referred to the 1965 Council for consideration when the 1965 estimates are being prepared.

It was agreed by the Co~mittee that the policy with reference to grants remain the me in the year 1964 as it was in the previous year and that the matter of the Industrial Grant and that of the Visitor and Convention Bureau be left for decision until later in this meeting- At this time, Alderman Mltchelson requested permission to leave the meeting since he had to attend an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing in St. Catharines, and permission being granted, he left at 10:15 a.m. GRANTS: In perusing the grants as recommended in the tentative budget, the follow- ing action was taken: 0n the motion of Alderman Keighanand Alderms.~ Morton it was ordered that: 1.

All members were present with the exception of Alderman Mitchelson. Certain matters having been taken care of prior to luncheon, the Coa~ittee now started their perusal of the~est4m~ted ex- penditures, cc~mencing with page 1. The City Manager explained to the Caittee that there was provision in the tentative estimates of 3~ for certain administrative salaries, and that others were to remain as is, or as covered under the existing two year agreement. Alder- · an McCallurn moved that the percentage be 4~ for A~ninistrative Officials, :but received no seconder. The perusal of the expenditure side of the Burst was continued and when the point was reached where discussion of ~arbege would take place, it ~s a~reed that this subject and that of the Ambulance Grant would be tabled until such t~ae as Alderman Mitchelson was in attendance. When the provisions in the Budget for weifare were under discussion, on the s~estion of Aldersan Morton, a action moved by hissell and seconded by Aldersan Cotfield was passed to the effect that scse consideration be ~iven by Council to the possibility of retaining the services of a trained social worker, whO, it was felt, would be of benefit in keepin~ welfare costs to a mind,aura. ~11e sotion having been passed it was left in the hands or the Mayor to discuss this possible appointsent and that when it is under discussion, Mrs. Y~ou~ of the Chil- d~en's Aid# an~ Welfare Officials should be allowed ~o sit in.

With reference to the dog catching and control it was felt that in view of the mounting criticism as to dogs mine at large that it would be ad- visable to consider the tying up of these animals for the year round and to assist in this consideration, a copy of the ]~y-law of the City of St. Catharines be ob- tained. With reference to huntIng licenses, some discussion was held concern- ing the two groups which are active concerning cons~rvation and re-stocking of pheasants, etc., and in order to arrive at a decision as to what will be done concerning the hunting fees, it was agreed that a C:-.-~ittee of Council should give the matter consideration and meet with the groups concerned so as to bring in a recn,,wendation concerning the allocation of funds. The matter of the grant in lieu of taxes on the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge was discussed and it was pointed out that this grant expired as of the end of 1963 and it will be necessary to enter into negotiations for a renewal and it was agreed that the Mayor and the City Manager would take this matter under con- sideration, with a view to getting a settlement or understanding as soon as pos- sible.

Having finalized the perusal of the items contained in the estimated budget, it was pointed out that the changes authorized would result in altering certain figures so as to put the budget in balance again, and it was agreed that the City ~n-ger would adjust the est~.~tes correspondingly so as to maintain the suggested Mill Rates. At this point, the Chairman, Alderman Martin, pointed out that Alder- man Mitchelson had not returned to the meeting and it was essential that the budget est~tes be arrived at for presentation to Council on Monday evening, and asked that the discussion now take place as to the method of handling the garbage'Situation. A lengthy discussion took place on the merits of the carry out and carry back service, durin=m which estimates prepared by the City Engineer concerning: (a) the carry out, and (b) the carry back service was considered, and as one suggestion to facilitate matters, the City Engineer suggested that the Municipality sponsor a clean-up week which would be of great benefit to the citizens and to the men in the Sanitation Department. Following this lengthy discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Aldermen McCallurn and Morton that the method of handling the ashes and garbage situation in the City of Niagara Falls be continued in 19~ as it was in the year 1963.

Mr. Philip Downie reiterated his re- quest with reference to the possibility of purchasing a piece of cemetery land at the corner of Morrison Street and Stanley Avenue and the reasons why this lo- cation was preferred, pointing out that since it will mean five years less of burial grounds in the City, their request was a reasonable one and requested Coun- cil to reconsider their decision. In answer to the Mayor's query concerning the availability of Cemetery land on the north, the speaker stated that this would be much closer to the land purchased in the old St-m~ord Centre area and this would make the radius that much smaller and there would be the problem of smoke and pollution from adjacent plants. A full discussion ensued, during which Aidemen McKinley, Morton were of the opinion that re-consideration should be given, Ald. McKinley pointing out the absolute inability of the Board to obtain a land assim= ulation in the area required because of prohibitive costs and he was of the opinion that the picture has changed since Amalgamation and Council should shoulder its responsibility as well as the Separate School Board.

Martin, Chairman of Finance, advised that it had been agreed at the meeting of Council called last Friday to consider the Budget Est~m-tes that Council would unanimously adopt the Bud6et even though scme Members were opposed to the garbage collection method. Ald. Morton advised that he was voting for the adoption of the Budget as presented, but with the understanding that a new agreement with the Fliers' Hockey Tee with a view of getting a greater percentage of the 8ate receipts, is studied. His Worship Mayor Miller advised that it was his understandin~ that the Chairman of the Arena C~m~ittee and his C~mm4ttee were going to discuss this at a later meeting. AId. McKinley, Chairman of the Arena Ccemittee, advised that the matter of discussing the ~ate receipts for hockey _e~m-e had already been under consideration and the present a~reement would he considered before ccemencing the 196~-1965 season. AId. Mitchelson congratulated Aid. Martin for the able way in which the Budget had been prepared for the year 196~ and,also the Members of the staff Who worked so diligently to ccexplete its preparation. The Alderman stated that although. he had not been .able to be present durin~ the Whole Friday session When the budget was considered, due to being subpoenaed to appear at an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, that he had Zone over t~e Budget and was satisfied with the exception of one item, naa~ely, the amount of $97,399.90 for haek~ard pick-up of 6arbe~e~ and was of the opinion thnt this wms not necessary as he was convinced the majority of the citizens wou~d prefer not to have this backward pick-up. I~ls Worship Mayor Miller referred to the Friday meeting When all Members of Council present voted for the adoption of the Bud~t and those opposed to expressled their opinion at tha~ time ~o adopt the Budget. }t Aid. Martin advised that there w~s a vote of 7 to e on the garbage issue at the Friday meeting, when Aldermen Keighan and Scott opposed and Aid. Mitchelson was not present when the vote was taken. Ald. McKinley referred to the Grants Section of the Budget, ad- vising that he was of the same opinion as Ald. Morton that the percentage of hockey should be changed and it us indicated that this matter would be explored. The Alderman explained that he was not voting to grant these amounts but to grant all those amounts which were permitted legally and will be unless different legis- lation is passed. AId. McKinley explained that the point was that the Chairman of Ein-nce asked that the Council unanimously adopt the increase in the residen- tial mill rate etc., but that he too has a difference of opinion of the Budget. Ald. Keigh-~ advised that he had voted against the method of gar- bage collection but was going to support the Budget rather than vote for the deletion of the Mount of $97,000. from the Budget in March, 1964. The Alderman continued that the people should have a chance to decide this in December, 196~ and tha~ he was of the opinion that the collection of garbage, ashes and rubbish amounts to approx~,t~tely $410,0OO. which is expensive and that he had evidence from other municipalities that they can save between $100,000. to $150,000. by eon- trncting out such collections and still give the same service that we have now. Ald. Cotfield stated that all agreed to support the Budget but he did not agre with the money spent on the Fire Department and was of the opinion that the Fire Department Budget would not have been as high if the Volunteer Brigades in the former Township had been allowed to continue for five years. Ald. Scott advised that he had voted an amendment to the Budget last year to eliminate the hack yard pick-up and did so this year at the Budget Meeting and that he was opposed to spending this extra money for garbage collec- tion and if he had promised to support the Budget last Friday night, he had made the stipulation that he would support the budget with the exception of the part dealing with the amount for garbage collection but that he had no cbjection to the other parts of the Budget.

EIGHTEENTH MEETING SPECIAL ~A'ING Council Chambers, April 16th, 1964. A Special Meeting of City Council with representatives of the Planning Board was held in the Council Chambers on the afternoon of Thursday, April 16th at 2 p.m. for the purpose of discussing various phases of the proposed new Town Plan. All Members of Council with the exception of Alderman McCallam were pres- ent. The Planning Board representatives consisted of the Chairman, Mr. E. A. Thceas, andMr. E. Weightman, Mr. J. Vundersluys, Mr. G. Allen, Mr. H. Henderson, and Mr. P. Pasquet, with MAr. Dowson, the Planning Director, and Mr. Philip, Sec- His Worship Mayor Miller, in opening the meeting, advised as to ,its pur- pose, namely:- discussion of facets of the new Town Plan and then turned the meeting over to the Chairman of the Planning Board, Mr. E. A. Thomas, who in turn, asked the Planning Director to explain in some detail the amendment to the Town Plan which was adopted by the Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Plnnntng Board on March 18th, 196~. MAr. Dowson proceeded to deal, item by item, with the Official Plan Study as placed before the various members of Council and of the Pl--ningBoerd, explaining the area involved, what had been requested by in- terested par~ies, and the recommendation adopted by the P]nnning Board. His Wor- ship Mayor Miller questioned the provisions as contained in the proposed new Town Planfor green belts and indicated that he had been advised by quite an authentic source, that a municipality might become involved in future transactions in such areas and Mr. Dowson explained that this did not coincide with his views and that he was of the opinion that the possibility of the Municipality being forced to acquire certain properties in green belt areas could always be appealed to the Ontario M,m~cipal Board if necessary. The possible satisfactory definition of an hotelwas discussed at great length and following discussions and the problem involved in establishing such a definition it was agreed that Mr. Dowson, Planning Director, or if he is not available, sce~one else from the Planning Board staff, should, together with the City Solicitor, draft up a definition of. an hotel, and when this is being done, consider separation of hotel and motel uses in areas where this type of erection would be permitted. Discussions also arose in connection with the request of Mr. Orandoni to have his holdings at the north-east corner of Garner and Reavera-m~ Roads 'permitted to r~m-in dee,Snated as Agricultural rather than the suggested resi- dential and following this discussion it was agreed that Alderman Mitchelson should, as he suggested, discuss this matter with Mr. Grandoni, with a view to clearing what is being proposed, in Mr. Grandoni's mind, before the nex~ meeting is held with reference to the Town Plan. Alderman Martin, during discussion on the effect possible rehabilitation would have on certain areas, queried as tow hat Mr. Dowson had been able to obtain in the way of information from Mr. Potwin as to when we misfit expect the Urban Renewal Study and was advised that Mr. Dowson had been in touch with Mr. Potwin who had indicated that he would be able to more or less concentrate on the matter now and that it ml~ht be within a period of 6 months. Alderman Martin queried as to how much had beenpaid out to Mr. Potwin as of now andwas advised that to date some $22,3~.OOhad been paid to Mr. Potwin, that an ite~ of $1,156. was still due him, and that the publication of the booklet when the study is supplied would involve an expenditure of $2,~00.00, or in total, sc~e $26,000.00. Following some further discussion on the Urban Renewal Study it was ordered on the motion of Alderman Martin and AldexsanSwayze that the Cit~Managerand City Solicitor should go over the contract with Mr. Forwin and present a full report to City Council. 'mere betn~ no further dAsouestou with reference to the Town Plan the Chairsan and members of the Board and staff left the Council Chambers. As previously requested by His WorShip Mayor Miller, discussion us then held with reference to Centennial projects and ~hat Council might consider eligible under this progr~ and it ~as indicated that some action should he taken as soon as possible since any request for approval of projects under the Centennial Pro- grantor__ must be filed on or before the first of August. Mention us then made of the several tb4n~s which have been suggested for consideration, namely:. (a) A convocation lecture and concer~ hall for Brock University. (b) Stamford Lions Club's suggestion as to a teena~e recreation building. (c) Alderman McCall~m's euK~estions: 1. A HydroMuseum and financial assistance to such museum. 2. A possible ar~ exhibit or cultural centre in Oak Hall. In discussion that ensued it ~as suggested by Alderman Kel~hNn that consideration could possibly be given to.analysing sources of Krants or ~ubsidies available for things of this nature and poolin~ such resources. His Worship Mayor Miller suedes- ted that some thought should be given to a clearinK or develolment at the end of queen Street adjacent to River Road with the thought in mind of approvinKthis approach. Alderman Scott expressed the view that it might be desirable to re-locate and/or improve our Presentlyo~nedHistoricalMuseumnnd the acquisition of property for future extension. Alderman Martin ~as of the opinion that it might also be desirable to consider the erection of a new library building. Following ~eneral discussion on the vsrious topics that had been suggested it ~s agreed that the suggestion of A1- dermanMartin be followed and that the Centennial Cammittee investigate the possi= bilityof establishing a HistorioalMuseum on Drummond Mill at Lundy's ~-e and it was also a~reed that the su~stion of Alderman Kei~han that the C~am~ttee investi- gate the possibility of establishinKa Centennial Parkwhich would provide all appropriate facilities for ccmplete public usage and enjoyment be approved.

Potter - Carried Unanimously. Ald. Martin, one of the members of the delegation, who artended the public hearing held by the International Joint Cosmission in Buffalo, to-day, at which all interested persons were given the opportunity to present their views regerding the proposed construction of an ice boom on Lake Erie Just upstream frum t~e entrance to the Niagara Falls, presented a verbel report. Aid. Martin advised that the purpose of the boca, as stated in the application, was to prevent the ice in the i~iver from ccain~ downstream in the winter time. He advised that very few municipalities, espeolall~ froa the American side had too such protest regard- ing the placing of this boca and that most of the morning and a large part of the afternoon was used for discussion on the safety of the boom and ~hether the I logs could be held in position, but that shortly after B o'clock the City's delega- tion were permitted to present their case and it was brought to the attention of the International Joint Commission by the delegation that one of our large indus- tries in this area is the tourist industries and that thousands of dollars have been spent by the Chamber of Commerce and the municipality advertising the fact that one of the natural beauties we have here in the wintertime is the ice bridge which ' forms below the Horseshoe Falls. Alderm~n Martin expressed the belief that the City's case was accepted in the manner in which it had been given, but that not too much information had been secured when he queried whether the Ontario Hydro in their investigation had ascertained whether the boom, if placed, would stop the ice bridge formation; he advised that the Hydro Engineer explained there would be enough ice come down the river to lodge at the foot of the falls and form as it always had; However, Ald. Martin indicated that he left the inpres~ion at the ~ear- ing that if the City of Niagara Falls ware not going to have the ice formation that this municipality would go on record protesting the installation of the proposed boom. Alderman Martin expressed doubt that the boom would not interfere with the formation of an ice bridge, and therefore predicted that in 196J+ or 1965 when the ~oce is installed, this municipality would be without the attraction of an ice bridge at the foot of the Falls. ~'ne Aldenman advised that he was accompanied by Alderman McCallurn, the City Manager, City Engineer and City Solicitor. He expressed the hope that the instructions carried out by the delegation would bear weight. Aid. Morton moved that the Federal Government be approached to take steps to stop the proposed construction of a boom, being of the opinion that such con- struction would ruin the Falls and be detrimental to the surrounding area. There was no secunder. Alderman Martin stated that the attendants at the Public Hearing had re- ceived a fair hearing and he wae confident that a fair Judgement would result and we should wait to hear the decision of the C~v~tttee who are conducting the hearing and investigation on this matter. His Worship Mayor Miller referred to the resolution which had been forwar- ded to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth re-affirming o~ loyalty on the occasion of the Clty's observance of our golden anniversary, and suggested that a similar resolution should be forwarded, upon the Clty's observance of its Diamond Jubilee. SEE Resolution No. 57 The following Resolution was passed: No. 57 - MCKINLEY - COI~ - R~SOLVED that on this the occasion of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee o£ the City of Niagara Falls, His Worship the Mayor and Mem- bers of the City Council wish to re-affirm their loyalty to Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, invoking for her, Divine Blessing and .~uidance through- out her reign; and the Seal of the Corporation be hereto affixed. Carried Unanimously His Worship Mayor Miller at this time, advised that he had been requested to make a statement concerning the recent announcement of the Kinberly-Clerk about removing their Plant from this City to Rexdale, Ontario; and the Council's attendance at a meeting with the Plant Officials at the Niagara Falls Club on April 28th at which time the reasons were outlined for their moving from this City. Mayor Miller advised that there had been no reflection on City Council, ~anagement, or the Industrial Goesslates, nor any other similar local group for the removal of the Kimberly-Clark plant. The Compan~'s Officials had assured Council that the welfare or their employees has been given thoughtful consideration whether they chose to move with the Company or not; the two major factors of the move were obsolescence of their present premises an4 transportation. The Mayor stated that Company Officials have assured City Council of co-operetioh in disposing of t~ present buildin~ and co-operetion with the Industrial Committee who might have some plant interested in the premises and that every courtesy will be offered in allowing them to go through the Plant while they are still in the manufacturing process. Mayor MiLler once again strongly advocated the Provincial Government passing permissive legislation for any municipality to impose a Room Tax, which revenue, if applied properly against our tax structure, would not only benefit the residential and cammercial taxpayer but also allow us to reduce the indus- trial taxation which should be some incentive for industry to remain here and also an incentive for new industry to locate here. He proposed to attend the Ontario Mayors and Reeves Association Convention in Sudbury in June for one pur- pose and that is to speak on our resolution on the floor of the Convention and he will also do the same in August in London at the Ontario Municipal Association Convention. Mayor Miller also referred to the part which Ontario could play in retaining industries here, by levying a cheaper rate for power than p~aces where power has to be transported m any miles from the location of the Niagara Falls Generating ~tations. Co~mcil adjourned to the Finance Meeting on the motion of AId. McKinley and Ald. Swayze. READ ANDAEOFI'~D, llth May, 196~. Mayor Council Chamber, 4th May, 196~.

Chairman TWENTY-NINTH ~;~'PING SFECIAL MEETING Council Chamber, 17th June, 1964. A special meeting of the City Council was held in the Council Chamber on the afternoon of June 17th, 1964 at 2 p.m. for the purpose of discussing with the Niagara Falls District Board of Education the matter of the Board's proposed new Administration building. Present were all members of the Council with the exception of Aldermen Potter and Corfield, and for the Board of Education, the Chairman and nine members; and Mr. C. G. Dowson, Planning Director of the Niagara ~a]ls & Suburoan Area Planning Board. His Worship, Mayor Miller, in calling toe meeting to order, advised of its purpose and asked Mr. Muggins, Assistant to the City Mgr. ,Admin., to read the two reports which had been submitted to Council under dates of June 8th and June 15th respectively, informing Council as to pro- cedure and requirements concerning urban renewal and allied matters and grants for financial assistance which would be forthcoming in such cases. At the request of His Worship, Mr. Dowson then explained his view of the items involved in urban renewal, indicating that under present legislation it is not quite as involved as it first appears to be, but that an economic analysis is a must. His Worship Mayor Miller then quoted a number of reasons why, in his opinion, it would be desirable for the District Board to locate their proposed administration building in the cen- tral business district and asked the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Rutland, as to his opinion of the suggestion to locate in the central business district. Mr. Rutland expressed the view that location of their proposed administration building in the central business district area ~ld be far from satisfactory for the purposes of the Board and that they would prefer a location somewhat nearer the Queen Elizabeth Way or on an artery which would permit easy ingress and egress to the several schools under toe Board's Jurisdiction, indicating that the Board was also thinking in terms of establishing a stores department in addition to the administration phase. Mr. McLeod, a member of the District Board, queried as to whether it would be feasible for the Board to chose a site now which would fit into the civic centre when later established, and the Mayor advised that it was his understanding that this would be feasible. Following further discussion, the Chairman, Mr. Rutland, queried as to how long after receipt of the Urban Renewal report would it be before Council would be in a position to suggest a site which would qualify for grants and stated that in his opinion a meeting should be held as soon as possible after receipt of the Urban Renewal Report. His Worship, in summing up the disqussions which had taken place, asked for agreement which was received from both the Council and the Niagara Falls District Board of Education to the effect that both parties were prepared to take no further action until the Urban Renewal Report has been received, and His Worship assured the Chairman of the Board that this would be called Just as soon as possible following the receipt of the said report. At this point, the members of the Board of Education retired. His Worship Mayor Miller referred to the recent Press report concerning the matter of designated areas and deplored the use of the term "depressed' indicat- ing that it was his thought that wn~n our delegation goes to Ottawa it would go for the purpose only of trying to receive some of the concessions which are made avail- able to designated area, but not requesting a classification as such. His Worship then advised Council of recent conversation with Judge Fuller concerning the proposed recognition of the appointment of Magistrate J. L. Roberts to his ~gherposition and following his advice, the Committee which had been appointed by the Mayor to proceed along the lines that ware suggested. His Worship also advised Council of comments made by the Magistrate at a recent Police Co~,,ission meeting concerning complaints of blowing paper which seemed to be coming from the Greenspan Yard on Beavene~ms Road and it was agreed after some discussion that the resolution~ which Council intended to get a ~egis- latinn amendment authorizing mandator~ coverage by tarpaulins of vehicles engaged in this business, be re-introduced to Council for its action on this coming Monday. There being no further business Council adjourned on the motion of Aid.Martin and Ald. McCallum. READ AND ADOPTED, 22rid June, 1964.

The following members of Council ~ere present: His Worship ~ayor F. J. Miller, Aldermen Keighan, McKinley, Scott and S~ayze. His Worship Mayor Miller explained that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of having the D~,mmond Hill areaa~ kmd~'s lane developed as a . National Historic Park in a manner similar to the United States National Park at Cettysburg. Mr. J. D. Nerber~, Chief, Historic Site Division of the National Farks Branch of the DePartment of Northern Affairs and National Resources was present and introduced to the members of Council. ~r. Herbert advised that he had been delegated to attend the meeting and su~mlt a report to his DePartment in respect to the Possibilities of developing the Drummond Hill area for park purposes. He advised that there are several ~ays to undertake the establishment of land for historical or Park purposes. One approach is for the Federal Authorities to de- clare the area as a National Historic park and after development it would be op- erated by the Historic Sites Division of the Federal Government. A second approach would be similar to the arrangement made in connection with the Stoney Creek Battle area, where an agreement was made between the Federal Government and the Niagara Parks Ce~m[ssion for the development of the land. The agreement provided that certain grants would be made to the Cosmission for carying out the work. ~4ayor Miller defined the area as being between Main Street on the East, D~,mmond Road on the West, Summer S~reet on the North, and Barker Street on the South. Mr. Herbert expressed the view that it might be desirable to set up definite boundaries and indicated that the land might be expensive to acquire and con- sequently if the Government became interested, the purchase of the property might be extended over a period of years. He indicated that the zoning of the area would be important to freeze values. Ee also mentioned that the National Historic park at Quebec City was of historical comparison and that at Quebec the property was owned, administered, and maintained by the Federal Government. Mr. Herbert advised that he would like to visit the area and make a careful study of it. His Worship Mayor Miller requested Alderman Scott and Alderman 8wayze, along with the Assistant City lianaget, to acccsrpany Mr. Herbert on the inspection, and visit the Planning Board Office to discuss the proposed plan with the Bcard's Officials. ~he ~roup were also to visit the IAmdy's Xa~e Historical Museam.

Although the second reading was carried by a ma.lor~tv vote. the percentage was insufficient to pass the by-law under' the t~rms ~f the' Urban Service Area legislation, Previous to action on the above-noted by-law Aid. Mitehe]son expressed his views of the proposed by-law, stating that to b~ consistent he would be opposing it and referred to the conditions as they existed ]n 19~2 when the subdivision was approved, and indicated that if the main installation is proceeded with that this would result in a division of the present 2-acre and larger lots into smaller parcels. Me also stated that he felt that the expenditure involved in this particular instance, if proceeded vdth, could, in his opinion, be better spent on other areas. Aid. Scott advised Council that because of the points which had been brought mlt by Ald. Mitchelson, of which he was net previously aware, he was changing his attitude and would be voting against the by-law. Aid. Keighan was of the opinion that the subdivision is an actua]ity and therefore the use of one of the prime services of the municipality should not be denied. AId. Martin stated his disagreement with some of the statements made by Aid. Miteholson and detailed the history of the estimated capital cost of ;.work in ,u.stion. pointing out that up until the preeent time thera had no dissenting votes with reference to the proposed capital expenditure and stated that he was of the opinion that the consent applications necessary would deter ar~ ill-advised subdivisions of property. Ald. Cotfield stated that, in his opinion, there was no question but that the water requested by the citizens in the Garner Road area should be made available, with which Ald. Morton concurred.' His Worship Mayor Miller enquired as to whether the acceptance of the tender for the proposed work created any Iegal liability and the Clty Engineer stated that the tender form is quite specific to the effect that the work will not be proceeded with unless the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board is obtained.

Present were the following: Aldermen Sweyze, ~artin, Kei~han, McKinley and Corfield: Messrs. D. ~lrie, W. ~. Sootheran and J. Montgomery of the Chamber of Commerce: Messrs. Bongard, and Paker of the C.M.A.: Messrs. ~urley & Henderson, Downtown Businessments Assco.: W.S. Orr, City Fngineer and C. Eidt, City Engineer. His Worship, Mayor F. J. Miller presided. Mayor Miller stated that several of the industries in this area seem to be moving out and that this meeting, was called to analyse the situation and find out what, if anything, is wrong ~dth Niagara Falls, and how to ~emedy these nroblems and also how Niagara Falls can attract more new industry. He stated that the City Council has been criticized for not doing anything about this. The Mayor then asked for a~v suggestions that might help ease this situation. He then asked Mr. Baker, that if his business was movin~ out of Niagara Falls, what could the City do that would possibly change their plans. Mr. ~aker replied that a company re-locates for reasons such as high cost of raw material and transportation, high cost of local power and being too far away from market. If a~y industry found a place that would ease these problems, there would be nothing the City could offer to change his mind. He stated that as far as he could see, these were things that the City had no control over. He stated that if any of the above factors affected ~ran~s profits, then it must make a few changes or ~o broke. He stated that another reason for moving are high salaries sometimes promoted by labour unions, etc. ?~ey Miller then questioned why an industry such as Dominion Chain would leave Niagara Falls to re-locate ~n the City of qtratford. He stated that their raw material comes from Ham~]ton, and. then during the summer is shipped here via the Welland Ship Canal. Th~s would make them ve~~ close to their source of supply. Mr. Baker then stated that Niagara Falls is not a barbour on the Welland Ship Canal. The barbour facilities are in Hamilton and Toronto The Mayor then questioned whether qtratford wnuld be any ~re close to the harbour facilities than Niagara Falls, and further explained that this was one of the reasons that the meeting was called, to see if this matter could be straightened out. Mr. ~aker then explained that perhaps Stratford was closer to th~ sales market for Dominion Chain. Some d~scusa~on then ensued as t~ the reasons why Dominion Chain left Niagara Falls to go to Stratford. Mr. Montgomery. explained that ~n his discussions with Dominion Chain, he was told that they hired a consultant firm ~rom New York, who studied their business as of to-day, 10 and 2C years hence. They picked the part of the country that they thought best and then this was nanrowed down to a commpnity. The Chain did not know where they would go or even if they would be going at all. When they were given the report, that profits would increase in a new area, they decided to move. Mayor Miller than stated thst. h~ e~]t. that position, should come to the City an~ discuss thai- c~ndin~s. the courtesy of trying to better conditions For them. Mr. ~rie exnlain~d hnw the chamh~ d~c~ed ~ b,~,~ .... t~v would try, to attract to the area. The Chamhor ~ec~v~s a s+ot~t ~r~m th Government. A business in this area has its b~st mar[~t in %~e~t~-~ '=m~ v~r~.. The Chamber then selects businesses that can F~t f.h~ir raw mate~ia]~ crom close by, and who are on the route to thojr markets and th~n t. ri~? to them to come to Niagara. He stated that h~ tbink~ that th~ day ~ industries in Niagara is a thinq of th~ Past. Wi~h th~ cnst of qaF and so high, he feels that we will attract mostlF small businesses with a sta'rf of 10-25. ~ut he feels that they will Crow, as d~d Cyanamid a~d w~Fb~rly- Clark. He feels also that the Hydrn discourages b~F busi~q~s. mh~y rather sell to small concerns at a r-tail bas~. Ifa larF~ ~mnanv wanted to move in here, they would not say no, but the large CnmDany cannc~ ~et a very satisfactory rate. Alderman Martin then stated that h~ dir! not fee] that this was t,h~ reason for Dominion Chaints move, He said that with the high va]u~ o~ tour~?t property in Niagara Falls, a company could not r~a]]~ onerate on land w~th such a high tourist value, If they had been in a more industrial area :perhaps a move may not have been necessary. Mr. Nurie pointed out that if an average indust~, had a municinal problem then they would come to Council and try to get it straightened out~ Mr. Montgomery then mentionod a few industries in tho area and stated what a few of their complaints were and why they would leave the area. these were summarized below: C_~vanamid: The high cost of gas an~ electricity. C~rbers: They are not making a profit at th- present location. There is no room for exransion of present facilities. Kerrio-Germano: Are ang~, with Council for stating in on- o~ their meetings that they use scab labour and inferior materials. Nabisco: They are not close enough to source of supnly for wheat and Grains. There ~11 be no further expansion in Miagara. Thoy will not move, however, because of the prestige that Niagara adds to their company. Wire Weaving: They are in much the sam~ position as Dominion chain. They are in a tourist area and their property w~ll become too valuable. _Oneida: They will be moving. It will more than likely be in the area somewhere, ~zt not in Niagara Falls and no one knows when. Strategic Udy: They are in preduotion again now. but only employ a few men and their only customers are in South America. mh~ir formula was stolen and is being produced in Austria. No royalties are being received from this. ~entleF Sporting Goods: They are angry. with C~ty for cuttln~ weeds and not notifying them first. They were charged $10.OO H. O. Acres: They need air transportation for their staff. They have even bought a plane Just to fly personnel to Montreal and Toronto. Mr. Montgomery explained that firms come here because we can offer water in large quantities. This is good for cooling and processing. The Chamber also trys to attract Industries that will sell firm customer items. Items that will not have a higher cost ratio than 5~. They also try to attract tourist trade industry. He feels that this is the gateway to Ontario and he would like to get firms that could operate out of Ontario or Niagara Falls, New York and sews both markets. He also stated that 60~ of all business coming into Ontario goes to Toronto. We th'n have to vie for th~ other Mr. Montgome~3, added that since there are no docking facilities, no new unloading equipment or modern facilities, it is hard to get raw materials here via the canal. Mr. Rongard then stated that he feels the most successful approach to the canal would be to try to develop it down river. He also feels that to encourage industry to stay, the Municipality must distribute taxes equitably between manufacturing indus my, and tourist industry. He feels that one of the most important factors is also the high cost of power. When we have the power facilities here, some other cities have cheaper rates. The Mayor stated that nothing about manufacturing industry ever comes to Council. There are numerous items on Tourist business, but never any- thing on industry. A discussion then ensued comparing the hydro and P.U.C. rates in Hamilton and Niagara Falls. Alderman Keighan then posed the question - that sims, we are developing trememdously in the tourist industry - should we discourage tourism and encourage manufacturing industry. He feels that by ignoring the tourists, wow ill not helpmanufacturing at all. Mr. Murie then stated that tourist development is a cycle. We have almost reached ou~ peak. He feels that the high value of land had nothing to do with the Chain*s move. Mr. Murie stated that at one time a local attraction was the cheapness of HFdro, but those days are gone. Mr. Sootheran said that he feels a small conference, with a small committee meeting w~ith an industry that is planning on'leaving the area is necessary to find all the reasons that they are leaving for. He feels that in a small group discussion, they will open up and give their reasons. Mr. Baker stated that one factor that can nmke a company move from any area are labour unions, too high wages and too many fringe benefits, that will cut profits. Mr. Keighan then stated that the Committee should find out w~V hydPo rates are higher here than in some other places. A discussion then ensued on the cost of Hydro at Cyanamid and other cities in Ontario. Mr. Keighan complained that although the Industrial Committee meets once a month, nothing ever seems to be settled. He feels when a motion is finally made, there is seldom an~ action on it. He then asked Mr. Montgomery where he got the informa- tion on the companies that he had mentioned. Mr. Montgomery replied that he received information in this light at the C.M.S. meetings and through personal contact with these companies. Mr. Henderson stated that to attract manufacturers, we should have factories for them to work in. He noticed that there are very few vacant premises that can be rented or leased as factories. He feels that if we would get investors to invest in buildings suitable for factories instead of the fast mcney-making tourist industry , we would be better off. A discussion then ensued on our Municipal taxation. Mr. Huggins reviewed the history of the area with regard to Nydro, pointing out that at one time this was an ideal area for industry because of the low cost of Mydro. He stated that the City is of the opinion that Hydro should pay taxes in line with other industrieS. He feels that it is unfortunate that our "birthright" of low hydro cost, should have been taken away. A discussion was held re barbour facilities on the Welland Canal and facilities for factories along the canal. Mr. Orr stated that the old International Silver building is available for rental. Mr. Sootheran stated that there was a prospect to rent this building but the rent was so high, that the party involved couldaft rent it. Mr..~urley questioned th~ matter of ret:lrninc to th~ federal government and having Niagara Falls claimed as a depressed area. ~he ~'ayer stated that the word "depressed" mizht have an adverse affect on the touri~ industry. People might think that this is a poor place to come and not want to come here at all. Alderman ~rtin stated that he was disturbed by the fact that most industries Mr. Montgomery. had named were not satisfied w~th rJiagara Falls. Ire thinks that meetings should be set UD w~th these companies to see ~f there i-~Rything that can be done for them~ ond if nothinK else, w~ll cre~,te Kood- will. Mr. Sootheran stated that the Industrial ~oF~ittee should be in chafes of this action. Mr. hurley added that the complaints to do with the city e.g. cutting the weeds at Bentley*s should be explained and cleared ur. Mr. Eidt stated that his staff is trained in public relations and each complaint that is received is always carefully explained. Hi~ office tries to clear up all the complaints. Mr. Orr added that not all complaints are made to City Hall. The Mayor then asked for a~v concrete actions that might be listed and taken. The following were given: 1. It was suggested that the Industrial Committee make a visit to all the industries in the Municipality and t~, to find out if they have any complaints that we can help them with. 2. It was suggested that the city contact and set un meetings ~ith the Ontario Hydro re their rates. ' 3. A suggestion was made that an enquiry be made to the Cas Co. to see why rates are higher here than in other communities. ~. It was suggested that the ~hamber of ~ommerce find out about any public docking facilities in this area. The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m. READ AND ADOPTED, 14th September, 1964. Yayor.

Marazzo I~cal A528 Mr. A. Ironside Local A886 His Worship Mayor Miller opened the meeting and explained that the purpose of the various unions in the city meeting, was to consider the ].o~ of indust~F and determine what is wrong with Niagara Falls, if anything. the event that there is anything wrong, what steps can be taken to correct tb~ situation. His Worship explained that he had no previous knowledge that the Dominion Chain Co. had contemplated moving from the city until the day of the announcement in the press. He expressed his regret that the City was losing this Company and others since the loss would affect the economy of the Municipality, Me fu~bher stated that he would welcome any suggest]one from the union members to correct the situation. He then invited those in attendance to speak. P. ~il],s~ local 9!0, ~po~ an~ ~a~,at~4 H~af b .... %nn~lv was ~. a~ to reasons why indust~. was mov~n~ o~+ ~ +~ oit7- an': }'~ ~n~d +~at suggested that the tourist ]n4ust~., ai! nnf ~nA as ~ucb D"~motinn the Chamber of Co~erco ~hould r~no~ntrat~ ~n r~tain]-c ~h~ ox~stiDg and securing new indust~, rot th~ ejtv ue advecat~-~ ~,hat n~'v in'~u~r~e~ should not be required to nay tax~s For a c-~rt~jn number o~ v-are. mentioned that StratCnrd mi~h~ have nrf~r~a ~om~ coneesqinn to ~omjnien ~hain. He also su~sted that living co=t~ add ,,.,a~o~ ~bou!~ b~ lov~ll~a ~f. Tn reply Mayor Miller explained that mun~cina~it~ ~ann0t nr~vi~ tax exomptions be in the centre of their d}stricution area. ~x- also thought that freight rates were a factor. j. Mc~innon, Ideal 133, monf.}on~d that it was hSs undorstandin~ that uydro had invited industries to locat~ in th~ City in 1900. Pe s~:~Fest~d that existin~ industries be approached an~ ask~d'wher~ they would !i~ to r~-locat~ '- in Niagara Falls. He thought that if the City could nrov~de land at no cost, it might be some incentive. , ?- Collucgi~ Loca~ 1A5, m~ntion~d that he could not a~r~e that som~ munici- palities are not offer]nw concessions to industry to locat~ in thojr ar~as. Me stated that he had heard that ~lorentjno and qons had be~n offered certain inducements from another municipality to r~]ocato. W. Ha=gut Loc~l?la~ mentioned that when an industry moved From the city and took some of their employees, ]t creates a hardship in'movin~ and unrootin~ families from the City. He suggested that in some cases it would mean that the employe~s in industry will have to go on welfare. He thought somethin~ could be worked out by having meetings w~ th industry, and advised that he bad heard rumours that other City industries might move out. H~ was of th~ opinion that all industries in the area ar~ makin~ money, At th~s point Aldlerman ~e]~han explained how industry. selects a sit- for location. He advised that the usual custom is to hire a consultant e×Derienced in locating industry and that consultant considers all aspects of the industries operation and economy before recommending a location. ~'-F-'--SPjd-e~,_._II°c~ 3/~53 suggested that we should enmdre From other ~nicipalit~es some distance from Niagara ~alls as to the reasons why industry is attracted to their district. He was of the o,~nion that some incentive be offered to new industries to locate at a~v ar~a. ~. R. Soothera~ Chamber of Commerc% advised that the Industrial Commi tree of~ '~h~er ~'b~rce 'is ~om~ised of A members of council, h members of industry and one representative of labour. He stated that representatives of the committee would shortly visit all j ndustr~es ~, the area for Purpose of discussing' their problems, if any, and to determine ~f either the Chamber or the City could be of any help. [!e mentioned that the Chamber had no previous knowledge that the Dominion Chain was goinE to move from the city. He thought that it would be a good idea to have publicity on the fact that Municipalities were prevented from offering an incentive to industry to locate within their confines. ~ Patte_ rg0n,_ Local 19__O_9, suggested some of the Municipalities have lower tax rates and hydro rates than Niagara Falls and asked if it was possible to reduce tax and Hydro rates, or if some other concession could be made for industry. F. Mil_~als~ Local 910 advised that a Review reporter had informed him that there was a possibility that two more industries were to move from the city. It is suggested that an appropriate petition be submitted to the Provincial Government to curb industries from moving from one municipality to another. Mayor Miller suggested the Federal Government might make some changes in regulations concerning depressed areas some time this fall, when regulations are to be revised. ~ld~rm~n Keighan asked if the Unions would support the Council by contacting the Federal authorities in assisting to secure some of the advantages granted to depressed areas. He mentioned that one industry which had secured land within the city was giving some thought to taking their operation to the City of Brantford. L~ ~a.c~bur~ L°ca~_~.!~, suggested representative members from the local unions attend the labour conference scheduled to be held shortly and exert pressure on the Ontario Federation of Labour to assist the City in securing permissive legislation in respect to the levy of room tax. At the same time Council could tak~ the matter up through the appropriate government departments. ~,yQ~M~!~e~, suggested that unions might support three points advanced by the City representatives when they attended in Ottawa recently to endearour to get some of the advantages of a depressed area. ~. HagU~,_Lo__cal 713m advocated that firms intending to move from one municipality to another should give 12 months notice. He stated that industry has a moral obligation to their employees and the City suggested Council pass a resolution requesting that legislation be enacted which would provide that industries must give 12 months notice if they propose to move out of a Municipality. Support of such a resolution could be obtained from other municipalities. ~. McKinno~ Loca!_~lB_, expressed the thought that federal and provincial governments control freight rates. The Mayor indicated that the control of freight rates comes under the Board of Transport. On this point he also explained that at the time Kimberly Clark decided to move from Niagara Falls there were only two men in the company who had knowledge of it. The local manager of the company did not know that the company would move until the announcement was made. B.~._PaigS__Local 846,_ requested information in respect to comments made at the meeting held this afternoon with the Industrial and commercial group. The Mayor advised that the information would be provided at another meeting. ~.~. ~oqthqr~n~_h_amber of Commerce. reiterated that representatives on the Industrial Committee would meet with Management of all local industries to determine if the Chamber o~ the City could be of any assistance in solving Any problems they might be experiencing. Thgre was some question at this point as to a labour representation on the industrial committee and F. Mills sta~ed that Mr. Cooper is labour representative on the Industrial Committee. P_z.~a~_~,_ Lo_~al 713, asked whatresult might be expected when industry shows no expression of good faith with the Chamber and the Council. J. Beattie, Local 133~ stated that he had heard the Boyardee had thought of moving because of the cost of water rates. Alderman Mitchelson explained that prior to merger there was a differential in water rates in the township and City, but after merger, became equalized. l,._R~!, Local A151, expressed the thought that local industrial companies were mostly subsidiary plants to American Companies and in consequence local management are not in too good a position to express good faith. He advocated that legislation be passed making it difficult for industry to move from one municipality to another. At this point Alderman ~tchelson explained that considerable discussion had taken place at the recent O.M.A. regarding compulsory arbitration and section 89 of the Labour Relations Act. He stated that he was opposed to compulsory arbitration of any kind. 8. Au_ld_ALocal A151, asked what the Chamber can offer industries to come to Niagara Falls. Mr. Sootheran advised that they could offer the name of Niagara Falls, that the City is a friendly place to live and that the city government is in good hands. He expressed the thought that any industry that is looking for concessions might not be the most desireable type to encourage. i Mayor Miller stated thst indnstr~l pr~mnfiq~ ~he'~'hamber or Council. He thought that ev~,on~ sbn,,]4 ~a~ a~4 boost Niagara Falls more. " _L_._ Bl.a~kbllrn~ Local ].~. suC~tod l~irqat;on .to curb ffn~u~,tr~e~ from mc,.,~- from one municimlity to anothe,.

AlJl~ stated that buman b~n~s should be rncoEn~ze indust~ and also stated that the criteria lo~l]y s~ems to b~ tn Dramote tourist indust~. He feels that this type of promotion tended to cans~ industrial plants to move out. '~='.. Uj_lsOn,_I~De~l 16_~ asked if it would be possibl~ to curb construction for the motels and hotels.

Some of the plants are new obsolet~ and because off th~ tourist development, land on which the plant is located has increased in value.

D, Patterson~_.%,oca___l~l~p9 advised that plants mov~n~ From the city are ~ayfng liveable wages compared to wa~es be~nf paid ~ the tourist industry. Mayor Miller expressed his appreciation for the attendance of the representatives of the various unions and indicated that thei- s,,~est~on~ would be taken into consideration an~ that another meeting or m~etYnFs m~ght be held. Mr. Hague thanked the Mayor and Council for their invitation extended to the unions to attend the meeting and express their opinions. READ AND ADOFrED, 14th 8eptember, 1964.

Carried Unanimously. See remarks under "Miscellaneous" in respect to this matter. MISCELLANEOUS On the motion of Ald. Keighan and Ald. Swayze it was ordered that Mr. E. Toomath be granted permission to address Council. Mr. Toomath referred to the fact that he had received a copy of a letter written by the City Engineer to Mr. Bignucolo of the Modern-Aire Motel, 2663 Stanley Avenue, and referred to the contents of the letter pertaining to the removal of a fence on the Rignucolo property and the removal of the hedge on his property, and to the use of calcium chloride on the B .gnucolo laneway to alleviate dust conditions on the property, which he stated; had been his original complaint. Mr. Toomath stated that he would be prepared to remove his hedge if certain conditions on the Bignucolo property were taken care of. An explanation of the letter was then given by the City Engineer. During the discussion on the matter it was stated that a check should be made to see that the fence on ~he Bignucolo property was taken down as directed. Ald. Swayze referred to the need for curbs on the east side of Stanley Avenue near the Cyanamid Pool. The City Engineer replied that a report on this matter would be brought in to Council next year with the hope that provision could be.made to have something done in this matter. At this point in the meeting Alderman McOallum referred to By-law No. 6636 which was scheduled for third reading, and which is the by-law to alter the boundaries of the Urban Service Area of the City, to provide for the extension of water services in the Garner Road - Thorold Road area. Alderman McCallum stated that he wished to introduce a Resolution pertaining to this matter, and if such resolution ware passed, that he would vote for the passage of the By-law. Ald. McCallum stated that such a resolution would indicate Council*s desire to discourage other and further development in this area, and would be for the guidance of the body dealing with Consent Applications. Alderman Mitchelson indicated that he would support the resolution and if it was passed, would then vote in favour of the By-law. Ald. Mitchelson also corrected certain statements he had made previously on the matter, dealing with the permitted square foot area of lots in this area, and the fact that this area came within the scope of By-law 2350 instead of By-law 2530. In reference to the possibility of legal implications arising as a result of the difference between the resolution and the By-law, Mr. McBurney replied that appeals could be made from decisions in respect to Consent Applications, and the resolution was not actually a hard and fast rule. Resolution No. 102 was then submitted and Carried unanimously.

FIFTY-FIRST MEETING Council Chamber 24th September, SPECIAL MEETING Pursuant to adjournment, Council met in special session on Thursday, September 24th, 1964, at 1:45 p.m. to consider with the Chairman and Planning Director of the Niagara Falls and Suburban Area Planning Board, some sixteen or more objections which had been received by the Planning Board and the action of the Board thereupon, in connection with the proposed Official Town Plan. All Members of Council were present, with the exception of Alderman McCallum, Morton and Potter. Mr. E. A. Thomas, Chairman, Mr. Convoy Dowson, Planning Director of the Planning Board were present. Mayor Miller welcomed the interested public and also the Chairman and Planning Director to the meeting and asked Mr. Dowson, Planning Director, to go over the sixteen amendments for the information of Council and the spectators in the audience, following which an opportunity would be given to those in attendance to present their queries. Mr. Dowson then proceeded to go over the items referred to above and following this consideration, interested parties present were premitted to address Council. Mr. Matthews appearing on behalf of the Biamonte B~others referred to the property owned by these gentlemen in the vicinity of Dufferin Islands and elaborated on his clientst intentions with reference to the property if allowed so to do. Following discussion and extensive consideration, it was ordered on the motion of Alderman Mitchelson and Ald. Corfield that the recon~nendation of the Planning Board in this connection be approved and the "Open Space" designation be retained. Carried Unanimously. M~. Grandoni, one of the sons, of the owner of the acreage adjacent to the north-east corner of Garner Road and Beaverdams Road, was permitted to speak on the motion of Ald. Scott and Ald, Swayze and he stated that the desire of his fanLily was to have the lands in question retained in the agricultural category rather than residential and explanation was given to the gentleman that although the classification might be changed in the Plan, implementation by zoning by-law does not necessarily follow. On the motion of Aid. Keighan and Ald. Swayze, Mr. George Ellis and Mrs. Milinkovich were permitted to address Council. Their queries were in connection with their lands which lie adjacent to the northerly end of Stanley Avenue and Highway 405 and they requested that their holdings be not considered for the classification of Transportation and Utilities (TU), which would have a ~endency to reduce the number of permitted uses. Mr. Ellis and Mrs. Milincovich were assured that although the Plan classifications would be (TU), nevertheless it would seem to provide sufficient diversifications of use and was not confined strictly to the transportational aspect. Mrs. Milincovich was advised that when the action which she suggested concerning a motel or something of this nature materialized, this would be dealt with in light of the situation of that time. In connection with the property at the end of Stanley Avenue, Aid. Keighan suggested a broader category of uses and he also suggested that reverting to the matter of "Open Space" in the Lundyts Lane, Drununond Road area that some indication be given as to elapsed time for this to come into being. Aid.

MISCELLANEOUS His Worship Mayor Miller referred to the erroneous opinions which have spread due to the stories going around that the City Council did not have the best interests of the City in mind when Warren Avenue land was leased for 99 years at a rental fee of $500. a year. He requested Council to clarify the action that had been taken. The Mayor pointed out that Warren Avenue is a right-of-way that started nowhere and didn't go anywhere; that the land is 66 foot right-of-way, 976.50 feet in length, which consists of 1.~8 acres and not 2 and ~ acres. That Warren Ave. was of no value to anyone other than the abutting owners, ~he International Centre and the New York Central Railway. That it had no access either to Murray St. or Robinson St. That the City of Niagara Falls had closed other streets in the interests of industries and that in this case, a new industry, a 6 million dollar project: and described Council~s actions as a good investment for the City. Ald. Keighan referred to the fact that the taxes in addition to the annual leasing fee, will be a considerable asset to the municipality. The Alderman also referred to criticism concerning the construction of a new bridge over the C.N.R. tracks and was of the opinion that it should be.~mde clear that until a year is up and the functional study is completed, no one knows what will be done about a bridge or how much it will cost: and Mayor Miller stated that any costs involved in the construction of a bridge, will be divided among the International Centre, the Railway Company, the Department of Highways.

All Members of Cou~c~l were present, with the exception of Aldermen Martin, McCalltun, Mitchelson and Potter. His Worship, Mayor Miller, presided. His Worship the Mayor advised the Members of Council oF the Gist of the contents of letters he had received or which had been referred to him, concerning possible Centennial Projects. After the Mayor bad brought Members of Council up to date on suggestions ~dlich had been made, he queried as to whether the Clerk had received or w~e in possession of a~v additional coYenunications and was advised that the-. only one that could be thought of ~-as the request of the Brock University to be considered in any projected program of this nature and be permitted participate in such expenditures if feasible. His Worship the Mayor made reference to the fact that in a~v project that may be looked upon with favour, the amount of monies which would be available approximates $150,0OO. to $160,OOO. Discussion followed as to possibly the most advantageous project that could be advanced by the municipality and during this discussion, Aidennan Keighan suggested that he would like to have the benefit of the Planning Director~s thinking and maps which have been prepared in order to consider possible Centennial Project Sites, having particular reference to a civic centre which might include a school administration building a~d things of .this type. Mr. B. L. Dotlot who was present in the audience and whose Club (Steford Lions), have advanced a suggestion for a project, at the request of His Worship the Mayor indicated the area of land which would be required and the type of building which would be required in the event the project for recreational activities for senior citizens, was proceeded with and later, at the request of the Mayor undertook to acquire information from the City of Kitchener as to how the project in that municipality which is utilized for this purpose .was financed. At this time, Mr. Conroy O. Dowson, Planning Director, who had been asked to appear, arrived and when requested, proceeded to give information as to possible locations for civic centre which had been given some thought by the Planning Board and also, when requested, explained the Boardis reasons for thinking in terms of the Civic Business District being located at the northerly end of the municipality. At one point in discussions, His Worship queried as to =procedure in the event a satisfactory location was obtained and it was pointed out that in the regulations which have been issued concerning applications for approval of Centennial projects, this involved a by-law to authorize and such by-law would have to receive the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board before the project could be finalized and it was also suggested that a query be made to the Department as to the possibility of being able to file an open or general application that could be dealt with later. Th~s suF~estion was to be implemented by the City Manager and/or the Assistant City Manager. Some further discussion was held but since four Members of Council were absent and there was not much possibility of reaching a satisfactory agreement, His Worship suggested that an additional meeting would be essential very shortly, but that in the meantime the matter would have to lay in abeyance. It was then ordered on the motion of Ald. Keighan and Ald. Morton that Council adjourn. READ AND ADOPTED, 19 October, l~.

Swayze that the communication be received and tabled and that the Board give further considera- tion to the possible Administration building site and that officials of the Municipality make all information in their possession available to the Board of Education representatives as soon as possible. Prior to the above action, considerable discussion was held on the matter during which Mr. R. A. McLeod outlined in some detail the various possible sites which have been considered and analysed, namely Jepson Street, Stmcoe Street, and the St. lawrence-Park Street area. His Worship Mayor Miller deplored the sugges- tion that the George Allen property was being considered on Drummond Road, referring to wh~t' could be its pronounced effect on plans for development of a Civic Centre. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Rutland, stated that he and his Board were not opposed to being part of the Civic Centre but that since time is of the essence, they felt that none of the sites suggested would be feasible, and the use of such other locations could conceivable involve an additional expense to the Board. Alderman Martin queried as towbother the Board would conalderman addition to the Barker Street school and the using of present #6 School on the lane for an Administration building, and was advised by the Chairman of the Board that this was simply not feasible. Alderman Keighan queried why the Board*s representative at meetings held previously concerning the proposed new Plan, had not registered opposition so that the matter would not necessarily have been carried to its present point without being aware of the Board's objection. Alderman Cotfield queried as to the acreage held by the Board on the Valley Way site and was advised that some 9 acres were presently owned at this point, but that additional purchases would be necessary to provide ingress and egress from Valley Way. Alderman Cotfield then suggested that the Board might consider again building on Valley Way. At this point, His Worship queried the several members of Council as to their opinions and these were unanimously in fayour of any such project being located in the Central Business District, His Worship, the Mayor, als~ being in accord with this thought. At this point, the Chairman and Members of the Board and their Administrative Officials left the Chamber. 2. F~xpropriation - Lundy?s lane. Alderman Martin queried as to what progress has been made or will be made with reference to the settlement of expropriation monies where lands have been taken along Highway No. 20 for widening and re-surfacing, and was advised that this was now well in hand but had been previously delayed because of assessment appeals ~hich had necessitated the services of an Appraisal expert. Alderman Martin also referred to the fact that it had come to his attention that the Assessment Department were not making any allowtncee for reduction in assess- ment where these parcels have been expropriated, and the City Manager stated that he would enquire into this matter and advise as to what is being done or comtemplated. 3, Ge._n. te__~ial Projects, At this point, Hie Worship the Mayor suggested that Council might utilize the time at its disposal for further consideration of a possible Centen- nial project and called uponMr. Dowsonwho presented a report on possibilities.

McCalltun that Mr. MacBain, representing the Queen Street Restorat] on Committee, be permitted to address Council. In his remarks, he referred to the proposed park-like entrance to Queen Street from River Road and enlarged to some degree on this project, indicating that it was felt to be sufficiently important For the serious consideration of Council. Mr. MacBa]n also stated for public advice that costs of the necessary parking in this case, if proceeded ~dth, would be met by the merchants and not by the ratepayers. It was then ordered on the motion of Ald. Corfie]d and Ald. Morton that Mr. A1 Dotlot he permitted to address Council and he advised of letters that~e had received expressing support of the project for Senior Citizens as conceived by the Stamford Lions Club (at least moral support), and the idea was advanced during his remarks that it might be conceivable to call on those interested other organizations for a pooling of resources in this type of nroJect, and a query with reference to the amount the Club was prepared to pay ~owards the project was answered in the affirma6ive, indicating that the Club was quite prepared to advance at least $10,0OO. Mr. Dotlot then called upon Mr. Nick Thompson to enlarge on the outdoor activities which would be considered for a senior citizens project and Mr. Thompson indicated that this was certainly feasible and would require from 3 to 3 and 1/2acres of land. At this point, Ald. Martin queried as to whether there was a list of projects which had been suggested and if there was also any information as to the cost of such projects, in order that Council would be in a position to act on the suggestions, and was advised that there was no list as such and certainly no worked up 'figuses as to costs. At this point, for the infommat~on of the Members of Council, His Worship the Mayor read the several comanunications which he had received, as follows: Dourtown Restoration Con~nittee - implementing the Nor~ch Plan.

Aid. Mitchelson cointed out that under th~ terms of the legislation, it requires that tho munjcinality retain ownership of Cho Dro.q~ct and carry out its maintenance practically in perpetuity and h~ also se~ested that of the numerous proDositions submitted, that this could be utilized as a yard stick to eliminate those that did not come under the classification of municipal ownership. His worship the Mayor suggested that what should be don- i~ that these various projects be boiled down to approximately two or three so that a decision could be made. Aid. Morton was of the on5 nion that the property which, of course will be necessary should be acquired in a~v case, and following some further general discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Martin and Ald. Morton that a general apnlication be made to the Department for the use of all funds which may be available for the City of Niagara Falls in this matter and details of the project as decided upon be forwarded later. Carried Unanimously. It was understood that Mr. Huggins would make contact with the Department as to Vhether this was acceptable. Aid. Martin queried Mr. Detlor as to whether it would not be feasible for the Lions Club, together with other organizations, locating their project on one property providing such a property was larks enough, suggestin~ that of course the various projects could be in separate buildings. Mr. DotloP advised, that, in his opinion, this was quite feasible. Aid. Mttchelson called att6ntion to the fact that it had been frequently said that nothing is now being done for senAor citizens anti to refute this statement, he referred to the programs of Sunset Haven, and in fact, ~entide Home. He was of the opinion it is not correct to say that nothing is being done. 45o ri Z: Mr. Huggins having completed the phone call to the Depart- ment, returned to the Chamber and advised to the reply he had received verbally, to the effect that they were of the opinion that a blanket applica- tion would not be looked upon with too much favour but it was agreed that, in accordance with the motion previously passed, that the application be carried out. The City Manager was requested. as suggested by Ald. Keighan to check on the availability of the Kimberly-Clark building. There being no further action possible, it was ordered on the motion of lld.

SIXTIETH ME~TING SPECIAL MEgrING Council Chamber, 29th October, 1964. Pursuant to adjournment, Council met at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 29th, 196~, for the purpose of discussing with representatives of the Ontario Department of Economics and Development and certain others, the Niagara Falls industrial situation. All Members of Council were present with the exception of Aldermen Martin, Mitchelson and Potter. The following were present: Department of Economics and Develo~xnent and Ontario_Hydro: P. A. York, Trade and Industry Branch, Dept. Economics and Development Alan Etchen, Director, Ontario Development Agency, H. J. B. Nevitt, Mgr., Research & Surveys Branch, D. B. Ireland, Director of Consumer Services, Ontario Hydro, W. S. Taylor, Consumer Services Department, Ontario Hydro J. R. Delaney, Trade & Industry Branch, Dept. Economics & Development ' Donald E. Holland, Trade & Industry Branch, Dept. Economics & Development Gordon New, Trade & Industry Branch, Dept. Economics & Development, Orville M. Schnick, Director, Special Research & Surveys Branch. On behalf of the Chsmber of Commerce: D. Murie, Manager, Wm. Cooper, H. A. Logan, J. Montgomery. On behalf of the Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board: Alex Oreayes, Assistant Planner, Conroy 6. Doveon, Planning Director. His Worship Mayor Miller opened the meeting, explaining briefly its purpose and turned it over toM r. York. Mr. York: Brought greetings from the Minister and indicated that he had brought several experts prepsred to give Council as complete a picture of the industrial situation and prospects in the Niagara Falls Area. Re indicated that he had no inttmnte knowledge of what had been discussed with the Minister by the MaYor add His Worship Mayor Miller then proceeded to give a resume of his conversa- tion. Alderman KetEbsn: Reviewed the unsatisfactory situation which has developed in the M~nicipality due to firms moving and highlighted the points of a meeting held with industry and labour concerning this matter. ~. York: 8bated that it must be realized that to attempt to tell indus- try as to whether it can move or not is a rather difficult thing and expressed the view that the men fact that three industries have moved did not paint the picture toO dark and advocated the develollnent of more new business to replace those which have left. Mr. Holland: Stated that he was of the opinion that the moves which had been made did not indicate a trend and pointed to the fact that a number of industries have expanded in our Municipality and that within a period of ten to fifteen years, approximately nineteen to twenty new companies had moved in. Nr. Bannin~ Stated byway of explanation as to apparently high transpor- tation costs that armas are blocked out and resulting rates are then established, so that distance could have a very substantial effect on ccemodity rates, but with regular, substantial shil~aents could bring about a reduction in such rates. Re also pointed out that international shipping could be more expansive due to Ousteros and export-import duties. _~. Logan Was of the opinion that new industries which had been acquired Were toO small to replace the larger ones which have left or are leaving and su6~ested the Depax~mant consider a survey for Industrial C~,mittee useage. Mr. New: Admitted that austensiblY labour rates in the Municipality are high, in scme cases, 35 to 75~ par hour higher than Toronto, but that this is not necessarily a bad thing if value is received where the money is expended. Mr. Ireland Gave a clear explanation as to the two types of Hydro rates, ~ointing out that in effect, rates in Niagara Falls are less than ~ per kilowet hour, which is lower than other industrial rates in the Niagara peninsula. Mr. Schnick Referred to industrial land values in Niagara Falls, being of the opinion that taxation locally is at a reasonable rate and that the Debenture debt of the MunicipalitY, although province wide had risen, the local debt had de- scended · Mr. Delane[ Referred to the several favourable services we can offer, such as three airports, water and sewer services, definite zoning by-laws and the fact that we have a favourable tax position. Mr. Cooper Queried the Department officials as to what could be done to stop any additional industries from moving and was advised by Mr. New that employment in this area at the time is excellent. Alderman Keighan Enquired as to whether the Department of Economics and Develop- ment might be able to get some of the advantages of a Depressed Area and was ad- vised by Mr. York that although there is close liaison between the provincial and Federal Governments, the Federal Government was the only body ~th the power to do this. His Worship Mayor Miller reported on results obtained from Ottawa in this ra~ard, stating particularly that they were after 3 year Corporation Tax exemption. Mr. Nevitt Gave a complete outline of the services his Department offers for industry that is in financial or managerial difficulties, providing it meets the Department' s requirements, and indicated that the Ontario Development Agency would provide a team for as long as required, to help straighten out a business in diffi- culty and also take some action as to capit~l for the continuance of business and offered the services of his Department to any industrY in the Municipality of Niagara Falls. Council adjourned for lunch at 12:30 p.m. and re-convened at 2:30 p.m. Mr. Murie Expressed his pleasure at hearing t~e Department confirm most of %he information that the Chamber of C~emerce had given as to why industries would leave and stated that with the exception of transportation and labour costs, the overall situation locally is favourable. Mr. Marie and Mr. MontgomerY deplored the excessive rubours bred in this area. Mr. Dewson Gave his views on the economic situation and felt that there should be a grouping to preserve local autoncmy and that such grouping would place the Municipality or Municipalities in better har~aining situation with Hydro and other departments, referring at different times to Metro Toronto. Mr. Hu~gias: Referred to the availability of industrial lands in the Munici- pality which, although at present are not serviced, would prohahly be serviced by the City if required and Mr. Delaney then listed all the things that new industry looks for in a City when it proposes to locate ~nd was of the opinion that figures of the past and present in Niagara Fells are good. Mr. Eidt: Explained the reason why employment was presently high and what could de*elop when these projects presently operating, cease. At this point, Mr. York advised the Department of Icontales and Development does not have the staff or funds with which to eke a survey for Niagara Falls, but that they would make available all their information to be utilized by a consultant which the City migh~'wish to hire, The Mayor thanked the Department officials for spending their time and efforts here at this meeting and it was then ordered on the motion of Aldermen Keighan and McCallumthat the meeting be adjourned.
