FIRST MEETING INAUGURAL MEETING Council Chamber, 4th January, 1965. In accordance with the provisions of The Municipal Act and By -law No. 6724 of the City of Niagara Falls, the Council met at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Cham- bers of the City Hall. The Council included His Worship, Mayor Robert F. Keighan, and Aldermen Mrs. Emma Bearss, F. Philip Downie, Clifford Gregory, Vincent Johns, Faho Martin, George E. Martin, -A. A. MacBain, Edward E. Mitchelson, Walter G. Scott and Church G. Swayze.

Following the Invocation, it was ordered on the motion of Alderman George Martin and Alderman Downie that Reverend Matthew J. Clifford, the Officiating Clergyman, be thanked for his service at the meeting. Carried Unanimously His Worship. Mayor )(el an. then delivered his Inaugural Add ss• 1. To All the Citizens of Niagara Fails: I would like to extend to each of you who are present here this afternoon a cordial welcome on behalf of myself, as Mayor, and the Members of the 1965 -66 City Council. I wish to thank personally, Magistrate Roberts for the important part he has taken in this and previous inaugurals. To Father Matthew J. Clifford, Pastor of St. Thomas More Church, of which I an a parishioner, my sincere thanks for invok- ing God's blessings and guidance on the Mayor and Council. We have with us also, Rev. J. M. Brownlie, Head of the Ministerial Association, and representing Rabbi A. Feier, the President of the B'Nai Jacob Congregation, Mr. M. Shanus. We thank you for your presence. I would appeal through Father Clifford, Rev. Brownlie and Rabbi Feier to all of the spiritual advisors in every Church or House of Worship within our City that on next Sunday, January 10th at each service conducted, that they join with their Congregations in a simple community prayer asking God in his infinite wisdom to establish within our Community, among all our people, an atti- tude of optimism, trust and charity, patience and understanding and a firm belief that divine assistance is available to all who so believe. This appeal is extended to include all within our City who, for reasons beyond their control, shall be unable to attend any service next Sunday, that they, wherever they may be, will join with us in this moment of prayer. , To our Federal M.P., Minister of Health and Welfare, the Honourable Miss .Judy LaMarsh, and to our M.P.P., Mr. George Bukator, your presence here indicates a desire on the part of each of you to co- operate in every possible way with your local City representatives. (His Worship stated that it had not been possible for Miss LeMarsh to attend as originally planned). We shall recognize and honour your good intention by calling on you and assisting you in every item that arises on occasion of a Federal or Provincial nature which has a bearing on our City and its people during the next two year period. I would like to thank all of our Officials and Staff, and especially those who actively participated in the preliminary and final arrangements of this Inaug- ural Meeting, the reception and dinner which follows the official part of this Inaugural Meeting. t. 2. Time does not permit individual or group recognition of all who are in attendance here this afternoon, but belie me, in whatever capacity it is that you serve your municipality, either as an individual citizen or a member of a Board, Council, Commission or otherwise, your presence and your efforts are deeply appreciated. To the previous Mayor of Niagara Falls, and my personal friend, Mr. Franklin J. Miller, you have left, for the time being, the Political arena. You have left behind a record for publicizing Niagara Falls that shall be remembered by people all over the world and at home - a record that I feel sure will be dif- ficult for anyone to equal. For this, Niagara Falls and its people should be for- ever grateful. Your cordial and friendly attitude I am sure shall be missed by all of us who know you well. To you and your good wife, Gladys, may you both enjoy the freedom and pleasure which you so rightly deserve which is one of the privileges that accompanies temporary defeat. To each of the other former members of Council, you can all be assured that you have made a good contribution to the City and its development over the years. Only those who have served can fully realize the time and effort that each of you have given to your fellow man. However, be of good cheer, I can honestly say that I learned more through defeat than I would have learned had I won every time There is one who will not be with us this year, not because of the Elec- tion, but because of a siege of illness over a prolonged period of time which kept him from contesting a seat on the 1965 -66 Council. A true friend of all and loved by all who knew him as we cane to know him. We will all miss you, Pete. May you and Mrs. Potter enjoy the health and happiness that each of you so right- fully deserve. To Miss Judy IaMarsh, congratulations on your most recent achievement in being recognized as the Woman of the Year. Our thanks also to you for your efforts in promoting area involved in the Battle of Lundy's Lane as an Historical Site. We know you shall pursue this development and bring it to a successful conclusion. Members of Council, Ladies and Gentlemen, the balance of this Inaugural Address will be given to matters affecting this City and its people. It will not take everything into consideration that must be dealt with in the year aheda. It represents mainly what I believe to be some of the items that are of utmost impor- tance as we go into the second tvo -year phase of the enlarged City's development. In the past two years, we have integrated the various City Departments and Staff. We have not, in my opinion, established an efficient and economical organiza- tion when it comes to administering the affairs of this City. This is not said to point the finger at any individual or group of individuals or anyone else. Maybe we just had too much to do in a short period of time, but even so, the time is here and now to correct this situation. It could be that recommendations contained in this address will at least be thought- provoking enough to create the necessary dio- cuseion and consideration by Council to effect some form of required changes. Changes in the arrangement of the Standing Committees of Council, which should be made official here to night, will reduce the number of Standing Committees to five from the previous number of nine. This will increase the duties of each Committee and, on occasions, when a Committee becomes too busy, necessitate the establishment of Special Committees to deal with important items without delay. The Finances and the recommendations pertaining to the weekly accounts shall now be dealt with by a Committee of four, under the Chairmanship of a veteran in these matters - Alderman E. E. Mitchelson. The weekly accounts shall be scrutin- ized by this Committee prior to the Accounts going before Council on Monday night. In addition, each member of Council shall receive copies of the accounts the week- end prior to the Regular Meeting for perusal rather than receiving them at the regu- lar meeting and voting on their approval in a matter of minutes. I would recommend that a Secretary attend the meetings of all Committees and take minutes of same, write the reports and recommendations of the Committee for perusal of and for the signature of the Chairman prior to these reports going before Council. This action would free the City Manager to perform other duties and place responsibility for the recommendations and reports on the Committee Chairman. I would recommend that at the earliest possible date, that the Finance Can - mittee meet with the City Auditors to determine, as accurately as possible, what our financial position was at December 31st, 1964, and also to determine what items 3. of expenditure already made or committed shall have to be included in the 1965 Budget. At this time, it is impossible to give any indication of what the budget shall contain for the coming year. It is hoped and expected also that the audi- tors can recommend what steps should be taken to offset any lack of adherence to The Municipal Act or any other Provincial Act governing Municipalities so that 1965 will produce no violations. The Committee should feel free to call upon any Department Head or City Official to assist the Committee in its deliberations and also consider the most appropriate method of establishing a suitable reserve fund which is considered to be a good business practice; and also deal with any other matters related to finances which might arise and then report its findings and recommendations back to Council for its consideration. I would recommend that the appropriate Council Committee, at an early date, finalize the individual pensions of our employees of 65 years or age and over under the adopted O.M.E.R.S. Plan, and give consideration also to the most appropriate way of effecting the retirement of those included in this Group in a manner that shall not disrupt our City operations and that shall also provide for the least amount of inconvenience to the to the individual employee. During the same period of time that the individual pensions are being finalized, the appro- priate committee should meet with the individual Department Heads and the City Manager and any other necessary officials to determine the most efficient and most co- ordinated arrangement that can be established to operate each Department in a most economical fashion and report back to Council. There seems to be a need for a definite line of authority to be established from the City Manager on down through our entire service department system and an outline of the duties and responsibil- ities of each Department Head and members of the Supervisory staff. This should also be considered and recommendations made by the same committee. It seems to me that our main hope for effecting a considerable saving to our taxpayers lies in more efficiency being established in our internal operations. These savings can only be effected by a re- organization of Departments and would only accrue and appear toward the end of 1965, providing these recommendations are followed through. The same committee should consider and peruse the private Niagara Falls Act, enacted in 1922, the Amendments thereto, and the 0.M.B. Order effecting the Merger of January 1st, 1963, also By -law No. 3832, passed in 1946, outlining the duties of the City Manager, which seem to be rather numerous when considered along with the extra responsibilities that have been added thereto as a result of the now much larger municipality - area and population wise. The purpose of this study would be to determine whether or not the City Manager -type of administration is the best arrangement for the enlarged City, and whether or not at this time we should consider employing the services of a personnel officer to consolidate and/or organ- ize all City personnel, remembering that at the completion of our job evaluation study, such an officer should be employed to supervise the job evaluation programme, if it is to be effective. His services could also help relieve other Department Reads of the responsibility of becoming so involved in personnel problems. Inefficiency and lack of satisfactory co- ordination also exists in our operations because our City Departments are spread out all over the City, housed mostly in antiquated and inadequate buildings from which to operate. Much of our equipment is old and the maintenance costs are astronomical for buildings and equip- ment. We seem to be overstaffed in some areas and understaffed in others. All of these items combined make for a waste of tax dollars and, in addition to this, our people must travel all over the City to meet their obligations to the City. At the same time, there exists in certain areas of our City, dilapidated and run -down buildings. The City has taken over some of these properties already for tax arrears. Everyone suffers financially when such a condition develops from the resulting low revenue producing and non- productive property. These con- ditions cannot be corrected overnight, but a start can be made and at a minimum cost to our taxpayers. There is reason to believe that within the next few months, the urban renewal report should be finalised to a point where we can qualify for the very generous Provincial and Federal Grants now available to Municipalities, totalling about 75 percent of the cost of acquiring and clearing land for re- development. The required studies to establish qualification of areas for grants 4. will take probably a year from the time we receive the U rban Rene percent. Renewal Report. The cost of these studies is also subsidized by approximately 75 pe In addition to Urban Renewal and re- development grants, we can qualify for a Centennial grant of about $108,000.00. These grants combined can provide the City with substantial funds to start the nucleus of a future one -stop Civic Centre to be added to as the need arises and as finances permit. A Civic Centre is inevitable in my opinion. If we do not start now, the entire cost could be later on put onto our taxpayers. An early meeting must be held to decide on a project in order to qualify for the Centennial grant. A decision must be made not later than March 31st of this year. An enlarged and new Centennial Committee must be established at once as well as an Urban Renewal Committee. Close co- operation with and satisfactory liaison must be established with the Niagara Falls and Subur- ban Area Planning Board because we must use the services provided by the Board in finalizing these projects. An ever - increasing Mill Rate and Debenture Debt make it imperative that all spending bodies within our City practise economy and while we cannot sacrifice any service which must be provided, we must all adopt a favourable attitude toward economic measures. Each year the Council, which must raise the money for most of the other spending groups outside of Council's jurisdiction, finds that it must pare its budget and cut back its services and use every available surplus and scheme to try to present a reasonable budget to our people. It is hoped for and_expected that the other Boards and Commissions and spending groups will take cognizance of this fact and assist and co- operate with Council to avoid this difficulty which we exper- ience annually. There are two other Commissions operating within the City, under Provincial Government control, which must assume and recognize their responsibility to the City. The people of this City have been denied their just dues for too long a period of time and this situation is costing our taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually and in view of the estimated expenditures involved in the Traffic Report of approximately $19,000,000.00 to be spent over a period of time, and in view of the need for parking, which it is becoming quite evident the Municipality is being expected to provide for our visitors at tremendous cost, and in view of the need for wider bridges and more new bridges crossing the open cut Hydro canal, and because some suggestion has already been made that the City should provide and maintain these bridges, we have reached a point where we can no longer be denied. Sub- missions to the appropriate Hydro and Park authorities have been made on many occas- ions with very little success and/or recognition. We have always recognized the fact that Hydro has and is creating jobs for our people, and so is the Park system, but Ladies and Gentlemen, because Ontario Hydro does not pay educational taxes on the same basis that other industries do, you and I must make up this tremendous amount on our tax bills. It has been suggested that if Hydro paid its fair share, that our Hydro rates would increase. I submit to you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the tremendous benefits to this area which would accrue to each of us, if we received our fair share, by comparison it would render any increase in Hydro rates to a mere pit- tance because these increased rates would be spread across the entire Province. We receive no special consideration in our rates now and in some situations, electrical power is cheaper in other Municipalities. In addition to, tax loss here, some of our most valuable property is taken out of circulation. Too many of our people are too hasty in excusing the Parks Commission from shouldering its full responsibility to the City because we all agree that we have the most beautiful park in the world, thanks to the Commission. At the same time, we must remember the tremendous revenues that are being produced from the concessions operating in the Park System plus the tremendous revenues paid to the Commission for water rental rights and the large net profits which are still realized after all expenses for operating the Park system are paid. These profits are:.now being sent out of the area in which they are earned and a good example of where some of these profits are being spent is seen on the Queen Elizabeth Way near St. Catharines in the Park on Lake Ontario. This, at a time when the millions of tourists coming here are frustrated and confused when they try to find a parking place so that they can view this wonder of the world. Why should the City be expected to pay the tremendous cost of the recommended traffic changes and also be expected to pay for off -street parking under these circumstances? The Commission has withheld participation in the Functional Traffic Study and have indicated that traffic is a City problem. How much more of this kind of treatment can we put up with? Parking could be provided by the Commission outside of the Park and the visitors transported by other suitable type vehicles to the Park area. In our present situation, we have experienced set -backs through loss of three major industries in recent years and I feel obliged to recommend that a complete review of our present industrial programme be undertaken to determine whether or not it is the best programme possible for the City. This should be undertaken at the earliest possible date. In the meantime, ve should carry on with the present programme with a word of caution to be given to the Industrial Committee not to incur any vast expenditures during the time required to conduct a review in view of the possibility that some changes could be recommended and adopted. 5. We must present our case more forcefully in these two situations and, if we are denied again, I am prepared to initiate petitions, with Council's appro- val, to be circulated to places of business, to residences and to all areas of the City for signatures of our people to be affixed thereto and maybe then our problem will be recognized and dealt with favourably. I must commend our Local M.P.P., Mr. Bukator, who has without a doubt left no stone unturned in the present- ing of our case on more than one occasion to the Government. We regret, as you do, George, that your efforts have also resulted in very limited success. I suggest, Ladies and Gentlemen, that if we were receiving our fair share of revenue from these two sources that a proposed room tax would not have been necessary to promote. It could become a factor in discouraging tourists and conventions from coming here. I hesitate to think of the resulting chaos that could develop if we ever have a poor year in the Tourist industry. New sources of revenue are absolutely necessary, however, and for this reason, we must do all in our power, should Council agree, to try to get this room tax proposal before the Provincial Legis- lature for a favourable decision and to assist in this, Council should meet with our local M.P.P., Mr. Bukator, to determine how this can be accomplished at an early date. If we received what we should from the two Commissions mentioned, our industries and new industries would be encouraged to stay here and locate here be- cause a reduced Mill Rate and the resulting reduction in taxes would be a good selling point in our industrial promotion programme. At the same time, it would seem desirable to review the tourist promotion programme to which the City has been giving financial support to determine whether or not this support should be continued or whether the funds should be diverted to an all -out industrial promotion programme. There seems to be a tremendous amount of duplication in tourist promotion and tourist establishments in the City doing the same. We do not support other industries financially. These two matters must be resolved before the budget 1s brought in within the next few months. We must also make it known that Niagara Falls is not only a tourist City, but an in- dustrial City as well. Some consideration to determine how this can be accomplished . should be entered into also. As briefly as possible, I submit a few other items which should be men- tioned for consideration of Council. 1. A uniform parking policy for the entire City, or at least a policy that will overcome the many varied situations that exist in our present arrangement. We lack any kind of a set policy. Consideration should include a discussion of a method for easing parking requirements where Municipal parking lots' are located nearby. At the present time, some areas are metered. Some are not. Some businesses provide and pay for their own parking. Some areas have little or no parking. 2. A Convention attendance policy. The entire Council and several officials make up too large a troup to send to Conventions. We need a definite policy here. Possibly one or two officials and the Chairman of the appropriate Committee should attend. The O.M.A. Convention should be given special consideration because of resolutions which we may submit that require all the support we can give. The savings realized could be put to a better use, possibly by estab- lishing a scholarship or two for a gel& City student to further his education. X 6. 3. Caution must be exercised in the building of any new bridge which might be recommended over the N.Y.C. Tracks at Robinson Street. If such a recommen - tion as a result f would profi itfromcsuch a the cost should be ud levied bridge. We should levied d on ge the des l developmopmlonp, mnts that but not at the expense of the individual property owner encourage development, when it can be avoided. 4. We must deal with the new Zoning By -law at an early date and make a decision on the proposed "Freeze" in the newly approved Tourist - Commercial Area. There is much concern already over this recommendation. It must be carefully and thoroughly discussed before definite action is taken. 5. We should continue to participate in any Regional Development n die srus because it seems to be a form of Government which is fast becomin tsg this directi need to be up to date and aware of what is taking place We must exercise much caution before approving and constructing water mains and do so only when there is established a definite need for new mains. A large portion of these costs are now put on the individual water bill d an over - installation could result in increased water rates, affecting our indi- vidual ratepayers and our local industries. 7. The crossing guard question in the vicinity of schools should be resolved at once. We cannot run the risk of maiming or harming any of our children. A tri -level meeting should be arranged at the earliest possible date as recom- mended by the Police Commission. 8. We must consider a grant to Brock University and while this would be spread over a five year period, the initial contribution would be made this year. 9. We are required to prepare for the Ontario Municipal Board a five year capital works programme outlining the estimated expenditures that we must make during the next five year period. For this reason, no mention has been made of possible works to be constructed in the next two year period since these works will have to be outlined in this report. There are many, many more important items which have a direct effect on all of our citizens. It is impossible to mention them all. There are many items no doubt, which we have not even heard of as yet, that will Appear at the Council table before 1965 is very old. Members of Council will appreciate the need for getting along with the solving of many of our present problems immediately in order that the many urgent items shall not be put off or eventually buried or not dealt with at all. For this reason, we shall be back here this evening at 7:30 to start the first regular Coun- cil meeting. I trust that the new Members of Council shall not be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the work they have been elected to do. I welcome each of you to City Council, as Mayor of the City, and would hope that you, along with the other members of Council, will support all progressive and needy proposals that come before us and that each of you contribute to the discussion your comments and ideas, and vote on every issue or item according to the dictates of your conscience and your reasoning after weighing all the facts available at the time decisions are made. The Mayor is a member of all Committees, plus several Boards and Comtism' eions. The magnitude of his duties, if he is to participate to the degree that he should in direct City business and put City business first on his Agenda, does not permit over - participation in secondary social functions to the degree that City business is put off or neglected. I must state here and now that if the programme that I feel as Mayor is necessary if we are to maintain this City in a sound and progressive position is undertaken, it is going to be impossible for me to attend all of the functions to which the Mayor is invited. I will do what I can and attend those functions that would seem to be beneficial to the City as a whole and to our people generally. 1 I '4 Should anyone feel that this is a move toward shirking what many might consider to be a responsibility which accompanies the Office of Mayor, all I can say is this - I am prepared, willing, and determined to go all out to see that this City is run the way it should be - to your benefit and mine - and I would point out that I do not agree with the precedent that has been established over the years that participation in every function is a pre- requisite that anyone should be required to accept to be Mayor of this City and to accept such a requirement would be to accept and respond to a suggestion that I should participate in social activities to a degree that would be detrimental to the people I represent. I would hope that in all worthy causes that would benefit the City and the people as a whole, that I shall be able to participate. It would also be appreciated and welcomed if members of Council should see fit to participate periodically in rep- resenting the office of Mayor at some of the social functions. This would assure representation of the Office at as many worthy functions as possible. It has de- veloped that every scheme or gimmick which someone decides to put on, that the Mayor's Office should be represented, resulting, in my opinion, in a misuse of this high Office and what it is supposed to represent. In closing, may I quote this little quotation passed along to me by the Mover of my nomination, Mr. A. MacAdorey, for which I thank him most sincerely because it is so appropriate for this occasion and sums up completely my wish at this time, quote - "That God grant me the serenity to accept the things that can- not be changed, the courage to change the things that can be changed, and the wis- dom to know the difference ". May 1965 be to all our citizens a Year of progress, joy, happiness and a full realization of all the hopes and expectations which each of you desires.

DeLuca, 3035 Ann Street Mr. DeLuca was granted permission to address Council on the motion of Ald. Swayze and Ald. F. Martin. He referred to a previous communication he had submitted to Council concerning the location of a Hydro pole in his driveway and was of the opinion that the City should remove the pole since he felt that certain changes in set -back requirements in previous years had affected the location of his house on his property. It was indicated to Mr. DeLuca that the charge of $700.00 to move the pole was because it was a transformer pole and was also located on a corner. The City Manager suggested that it must have been obvious that the pole was in the centre of the breezeway when the house was constructed, and stated that if Mr. DeLuca was going to erect a garage it should not be built where the carport was located, and that the $700.00, instead of being used to remove the pole, could be applied by Mr. DeLuca instead, to the cost of constructing a garage.

Dewey, representing the Niagara Fells Curling Club, concerning the application to have the ~acdonald Brier played off in Niagara Falls early in M~rch, 1967. It was moved by Alderman Mitchelson and secon- ded by Alderman Seo~c that the matter be referred to the Recreation & Protection to Persons & Property Cc~m~ittee, and that the Cc~ttee met at ~ p.m. on Monday, Feb- ruary 22nd in order to report to Council at the evening meeting of that date. On the motion of Alderman G. Martin and Alderman Johas the C~.mittee moved into Committee of the Whole with Alderman MacBain in the Chair. I~EAD A!fD ADOFA'I~D, 22nd February, 196~. Deputy-Clerk C0e$ffT~EE OF Tns WHOLE Council Chamber, February 18th, 1965. All Members of Council ware present at the Committee of the ~hole, on Thurs- day, February 18th, 1965, with Alderman MecBain in the Chair. Mr. Alan Smart of Win. M. Mercer Limited, was Present. Mr. Smart advised the Council that in July of 1963 a report had been Presented by his Firm recommending that all employees of the City of Niagara Falls aoin the O.M.E.R.8. Fension Plan and that a report be Prepared with regard to Imst service benefits for the' employees working directly under the Council of the City of Niagara Fells. The first racoemendation was adopted by Council, and subsequently, employees of the Niagara Transit Ccemission and the Niagara Fells & Suburban Area Plannimg Board Joined as members of the City O.M.E. B.S. Plan. Mercers ware instructed to proceed with the PreParation of a report On the past service benefits and the first report was Presented to Council in March of 196~. Bodevet, after study by the Ccemittee it was found that the report as presented includ- ed the overtfi~e earnings of employees during the Fear 1963 and Mercers were asked to revise the report so that no overtime would be included in the wages of employees on which benefits ware cc~puted. A revised repor~ was Presented in M~, 1~ which was studied by the Managesent Ccemittee of City Council and recommended to the Council for adoption. Council agreed with this recce~endatton but action was not taken before the end of 1~. The raporS has been o0nsidered by the Finance Cceaittee at two meetings 3 · and Mr. Smart was requested to appear at the Special Meeting of Council on the evening of Thursday, February 18th to explain the r~con~endations in the report. Mr. Smart advised that the report was prepared on the basis that all contributions that had been made for employees for past service would be used in computing the past service benefits. His Company recommended that past service be based on 1~ of the 1963 salary for the number of years of employment with the Corporation, less one year. The difference between the amount to the credit of the individual employee and the 1% benefit would be a supplement paid by the Corporation of the City of Niagara Fells. It was est~-~ted that the cost of the pest service benefits would be approximately $50,O00.00 per year amortized over a period of 25 years, but experience had shown that the amortization period would more propably be 19 years. Mr..c~.rt also advised that the pension scheme now in force whereby retired employees are paid a pension after 20 years of service ~uuld have to be funded and the monies paid into a trust account from which the annual payments could be wade to the employees. These pensions amount to approximately $30,000.00 at the present time. It is therefore expected that in the year 1965 the pension payments , would amount to approximately $80,000.00. In addition, there are on semi-retirement scme employees who are paid at the rate of $5.00 per month for every year of service provided that they can report for work and appear on the time sheets· ~nis amounts to a total expenditure of about $5,000.00 per year· Therefore, the total expendi- ture for pensions in 1965 is estimated at $8%000.00. Mr. ~m-rt's attention was drawn to the pension plan adopted by the Niagara Fells District Board of Education and he advised that that plan was more generous than the plan suggested for Civic employees. It was moved by Alderman Mitchelson and seconded by Alderman O. Martin that the C~ittee of the Whole accept the reconwnendation in the Mercer Report re: past service benefits for employees of the City of Niagara F~lls. The motion was carried with Aldermen Gregory, Johns and Beetea opposed. An amendment by Aideman Johns and Alderman Bearss that the motion be tabled until the next meeting of Council was defeated with Aldermen Johns, Bearss and Gregory supporting the amendment. It was moved by Alderman O. Martin and seconded by Alderman Mitchelson that Wm. M. Mercer Limited ha instructed to up-date the report, as the figures compiled were to apply to January 1st, 1963; and that the Underwriters of the former pension plans be instructed to allocate the surpluses to employee accounts in the propor- that each employee's past service supplement is to the past service supplements of all employees in the same group. The surpluses amount in total to approximately $S , o0.oo. It was moved by Alderman O. Merlin and seconded by Alderman Mitchelson that the Cemmittee arise and report to Council and present the report of the Cc~u~ittee of the Whole. EEAD AND ADOPTED, ~nd February, 1~.

Council assembled in Conference following the Special Meeting of March 16th, 1965. AllMembers were present. (Alderman Mitchelson arrived at 9:40 p.m.) AtdermanA. A. MacBain presided as Chairman. The meeting had been called for the purpose of meeting with representetives of the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce~ the Visitor & Convention Bureau, and the Industrial Committee. The following per- sons were present: Mr. D. Murie, Manager, Chamber of Commerce, Mr. R. Kenzie, ~na- ger, Visitor & Convention Bureau, Mr. J- Montgomery~ Manager, Industrial DEpartment, Mr. C. W. Hendershott, Cheinnan~ industrial Committee, Mr. G. Airridge, Chairman: Visitor & Convention Bureau, Mr. W. R. Sootheron, Past President of the Chamber of Cc~nneree, and Mr. John Yeo, Pest Chairman of the Visitor & Convention Bureau and Vice-President of the Chamber. Alderman MaeBain reviewed the proceedings heeding up to the meeting, and ex- plained that following a recommendation of His Worship Mayor Keighsn, the Finenee ~omnittee had been empowered to study the present set-up of the Chamber of Commerce and the reletionship to the City operation in respect to the Visitor & Convention Bureau and the Industriel Committee. The Finance Conmlttee had held a meeting with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the two bodies, but the matter had not been deelt with to conclusion, and the Finance Cormuittee were not in a position to make any reconnnendations to Council as to whether or not there should be any changes in respect to these bodies. At the suggestion of Mr. Young of the Chamber, it had been arranged to hold this meeting with the whole Council. Corm. 267 - Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce At this time, a comprehensive brief outlini~g the functions and set-up of the Chamber of Co~unerce and the Industrial DEpartment, and Visitor & Convention Bureau, was presented, and read, by Mr. Yeo. Following the reading of the Report, Members of Council were given an opportunity of expressing their views on the matter, and some of the points raised and explana- tions given were as follows: Mayor Kei&han advised that he was in agreement that the Industrial Committee should be located in the Chamber of Commerce but questioned whether Mr. Montgomery should be hired and paid by the City rather than by the Chamber, and because the City assumes the full cost for Industrial promotion, he wondered if the C~ission should be responsible directly to the Council. Mayor Keighan made it clear that he was not suggesting that the two bodies be removed from the Chamber, and would not support such a move. Mayor Keighan felt that a duplication of advertising existed, because large firms in the area spent a great deal of money in advertising each year promoting Niagara Falls, and questioned whether the City should be involved in tourist promo- tion. Mr. Kenzie advised that the Niagara Farks Commissinn and other firms who ad- vertise, do so only for their own lmr~icular attraction while the Bureau was con- earned with all of Niagara Falls. Ald. Johns felt that the Brief should be amended to provide that the Visitor & Convention Bureau need not apologize for the work they are doing. He also stated thet manytourist industries and places of business were not contributing to the support of the Bureau and they should be requested to provide for their fair share. Ald. Johns asked if the Industrial promotion progrannne was as large as it could be, or whether an additional Mount of money would bring an increase in results. Mr. Montgomery advised that the essential parts of the pro~ramme were being carried 'ou~ ~ow, and additional 'funds ~ould allow for expansion 0nly." AId. 6rngory requested information on other alternate methods of industrial promotion, as carried out by surrounding mumicil~lities. Mr. Montgomery stated that the set-ups throughout the Province were widel~ varied, and stated that no cumlmr- ison could~e made between the City set-up as opposed to other operations. 134. Mr. Montgomery assured Council that he could not be more responsible to Council end the residents of the City than he is now, whether he remains as Mana- ger of the Industrial Dept. in the present set-up, or whether 8 change was made. Ald. G. Mar~in stated that Council were getting good value for the money teid and felt that there should be no change in the operation of either of the two bodies. Ald. Downie referred to several statements in the brief, dealing with the setting of salaries, employment figures, comparison of budget costs. He also spoke on the matter of costs involved necessitated by changing the ~ourist information folder, and the fact that "canned' information was presented at meetings he had artended. The Chamber members advised that the figures presented included many part- time employees. They also advised that the FOlder is not changed until the entire stock is used, and then it is up-dated. The matter of salaries was set by an Exec- utive Cceunittee of the Chamber to keep the schedule in balance. Aid. MacBain asked if Council would be able to make use of the physical facilities of the Chamber if they did decide to have the Industrial Department and/ or the Visitor & Convention Bureau separate from the Chamber set-up. Mr. Sootheran replied that it was his personal opinion that some arrangement could be worked out in this connection. Mr. Yeo stated that the Chamber of Cc~merce was dedicated to the progress of the con~unity, and while not necessarily agreeing that a change of up wou]d be progressive~. that, ~ Council decided to make these changes, they would have the whole-hearted support of the Chamber of Commerce. Ald. Bearss was of the opinion that the members who served on the two bodies were very dedicated, and that both the Bureau and the Industrial Department were ereted in an efficient manner. Ald. Swayze was of the opinion that since the City were lmying the cost of the Industrial Department, that the operation should be under their control. Ald. Sco~t stated that Council could not improve on the situation and set-uu that now exists. Me did feel that not enough money was spent On Industrial promotion and also, that more advertising could be do~e. Ald. F. Martin stated that there would be more expense to the City if the two bodies were changed from their present set-up. At the conclusion of the remarks, Mayor Keighan stated that arrangements might be made for the Manager of the Industrial Dept. to be present at a Council Meet- ing when his reports are presented, to answer any questions Council might have, and this proposal might provide a solution to the problem. He was also of the opinion that more money should be provided to the Industrial Department if it would mean in- creased results. Mayor Meighan also ,stated that tourists, while brInging man~ hensfits to the City ware also the cause of considerable expense, such as increased garbage col- lection and costly traffic surveys which ware necessitated. His Worship concurred with the Chamber's suggestion, that the allocation of funds to the two bodies need not necessarily be called grants. In connection with C~mmunication 267, His Worship asked if the Press would like to use this material at the present trine, but M~r. Fredo advised that he wished to wait m~til the whole matter had been ftnalized, in order to present the full story. In bringing the meeting to a close, Alderman MacBain thanked the Chamber of C-.merce representatives for attending, and Mr. Yeo, in turn, expressed appreciation to Council for arranging the meeting.

RFAD AND ADOPtED, 12th April, 1965- Deputy-Clerk C0~ITM~.~ OF THE WHOLE Council Chamber, 5th April, 1965. Council re-convened as a Ccmmittee of the Whole, following the regular meeting on Monday, April 5th, 1965, for the purpose of considering an interim contro] by-law for proposed Tourist Ceumercial Area and area adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Way. A draft form of the by-law was distributed for member of Council~s perusal. All Members of Council were present, and His Worship Mayor Keighan invited Alderman Mltchelson to chair the meeting. Alderman Mitchelson referred to the discussions held with Mr. G. K. Bain, Supervisor, Official Plans Group of the Community planning Branch, while representa- tives of Council and representatives from the Niagara Della and Suburban Area Planning Beard were present in London on March 25th at a meeting sponsored by the Department of Municipal Affairs in connection with transfer of consent granting authority to Coenittees of Adjustment. (Co%mciles representatives had been authorized to take this opportunity to meet with Members of the p].nning Branch to obtain their views on the proposed interim control by-law. ) Alderman G. Martin advised that Mr, Bain had been concerned about the timin~ and that this should be specifically spelled out in Clause 2 of the By-law, otherwise approval would not be granted by the Del~rtment. Alderman G. Martin queried as to the effect on applications which are now pending, and ~hether the by-law if given only two readings and then forwarded to Toronto for approval would be in effect. The Assistant City Manager, Mr. Huggins, suggested that the by-law be given three readings before forwarding to the Ontario Municilal BeeN. The City 8olicitor advised that the by-law would not be effective unless given three readings and the only provision in the Planning Act would be if the plans had been submitted to the Building Inspector before the by-law was passed; in that case, if plans had been submitted for approval by the Building Inspector then it would come under the exemption given in the Act. He then proceeded to cluote frcm the planni~ Act - Section 3, Subsection 7. Mr. Greaves, Planning Director, advised Council that the matter of time limit and also method of dealin~ with _~_.me_~_~e_~t applications could be checked with the Department of Municipal Affairs Plannin~ Branch the next da~ in order to make i65. In answer to a query from Aid. Mitchelson as to whether the proposed by- law if passed by Council would require an O.M.B. Hearing, Mr. Huggins advised that proposed interim control by-law would have to be processed the same as any other by-law; that the 0.M.B. would direct that notices be forwarded to all owners in the area and within 300 feet of the area outlined in red on the plan. If there were objections then these would be forwarded to the Board and it would advise of a date for hearing, if necessary. In connection with the possibility of hearings for applications for amend- ments to the proposed by-law~ Ald. Johns queried as to who paid for the expenses involved and was advised by Mr. Huggins that the municipality has been assuming this expenditure, which involves the payment of $10.00 for hearing, plus the cost of sending out notices and copies of the by-law to property owners, etc. Although, some municipalities charge applicants. Mr. Greaves stated that he thought the representatives in London apprec- iated his efforts to question Mr. Bain in two or three directions to get flexibility. The City Solicitor was of the opinion that there should not be any objection in having a time limit in the By-law providing the City can apply for an extension· Aid. MacBain stated that he preferred that the drafting of the by-law be not left up to the Solicitor ~f the O.M.B. but that we draft the by-law and then forward the same to the Board for perusal. Following further discussion it was agreed that the proposed interim con- trol by-law would be re-drafted in terms of the thinking that had been expressed during the meeting end then forwarded to the Planning Board. Cc~nittee of the Whole arose without reporting to Counci4 on the motion of Ald. George Martin and Ald. FahoMartin. READ ANDADOPTED, 12th April, 1965.

Gregory and that he would also like to invite one other member of Council. He queried whether Council would agree to the attendance of Alderman Mitchelson due to his knowledge, previous experience, and papers he had given pertain- ing to this subject. Ald. Johns referred to the Tour of Inspection held on April 3rd and the dangerous situation existing at the site where an old house was demolished. The City Manager indicated that this would be taken under advisement and the owner con- tacted. Aid. Johns referred to the number of parks throughout the City, which have been named after prominent citizens, and was of the opinion that the Municipal Park on Valley Way in the vicinity of the Swimming Pool should be named after Mr. F. H. Eeslie, who had donated some of the land in that particular area. It was agreed that the Recreation and Protection to Persons and Property C~,~mtttee should consider this suggestion. At this point, His Worship the Mayor, requested Council to present their views on the recent Tour of Inspection. AId. George Martin, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, advised that under the Public Works Program a lot of buildings have been checked and a report will be presented to Council including a proposed site for a Municipal Works Department.

Aid. ~eorge Martin su~ested that market valuation appraisals should be obtained on City- owned property. Ald. MaeB~in suggested that the Property Committee be requested to inspect the Kimberly-Clark building on the west side of Victoria Avenue, north of Brid~e Steer, and to secure the approximate cost, etc. of the same. After further discussion in respect to public buildings, the Officials were directed tombs arrangements for Council to visit ccmI~rable municipalities for the purpose of inspecting their City Halls, to assist our thinking in re~rd to accom- modation. It was aSreed that ~ay 15%h would be the most sa~isfaetol7 date for such inspecbion, Ald. ~aeBain requested confirmation as to authority for his ~csmittee to en~a~e Mr. M. R.

Mrs. Fordham explained the problem experienced by the Downtown Merchants and citizens, which was created by gangs of youths who congregated on the streets and passed obscene remarks to pedes- trinns as they passed. She advised that the Police co-operation was very good, but they ware apparently hampered by the fact that no ruling existed which would , allow them to pick up the offenders. She requested that Council take some action as soon as possible on the matter. The City Solicitor advised that a City By-law passed in 1~O~ was in existence, but the Police Department had not attempted to act under the By-law.

SPECIAL A Special ~eeting of Council was held on Thursday, April 15th, 1965 at 4:15 p.m. for the purpose of meeting with the Honourable Arthur Laing, Minister of NorthernAffairs and NationalResources, the Honourable Miss J. V. LaMatab, Minister of public Health and Welfare, and Mr. J. D. Herbert of the National Historic Sites andMomnnents Board of Canada, in respect to the proposed development of a Historic Site On Lundy's Tane. AllMembers of Council were present with the exception of Aid. G. Nattin and Aid. Johns. His Worship ~hyor Keighan presided, and officially welcomed the Officials present and expressed appreciation to them for meeting with Council on this matter. Miss La~rsh, ~ho introduced Mr. Laing, stated that the Minister had indi- cated he was in favour of the development of a National Historic Site in the L~ndy's Lane area, and explained that the purpose of their visit was to answer questions and discuss the action which the Council, pl'.nning Board andFederel Government would have to take together. Mr. laing stated that the Historic Sites and Monument Board had attached more than ordinary significance to the area to commemorate the Battle of hmdy's lane, and warn of the opinion that the Federal Government should set aside the area in a very consequential way, to take in a considerable area of the actual battle- ground involved. Mr. laing stressed that Council would have to decide whether it would be to the benefit of the City to set aside the open space as a per~-nent mem- orial in Canada for the benefit of Canadians, as a tourist attraction, or whether it would be better to forget about history and industrialize the property in various ways. After such a decision had been made by Council the Federal Government would co-operate in setting aside either the whole area recommended by the Board or a por- tion of the area. He advised that it was of distinct advantage to Cities to set aside such open areas. Mr. laing was of the opinion that Canadians would be apprec- iative to the City whether a large or a small area was set aside for the historic site, and noted that according to a map prcauced by Mr. Herbert, 10 or 12 acres out of the total of 28 acres involved, could be considered as being clear of improvements. Mr. imin~ stated that there was no definite policy established on who would pay for any project, and stated that because of the size of the proposal submitted by the Boor& it vould cost a very great sum of money for the development. Mr. Laing advised that it would, however, be easier to acquire funds for such a purpose in view of the fact that the CenteanlalYear~as approaching. Mr. Herbert then outlined the history of the actual battle which had taken place, and advised that the area the Historic Sites Boord was recmending ~as bounded byMain Street, Dnmnnond Road, S,n~.erStreet andBarker Street, including frontages on Main Street and Barker Street, ~ith an alternate site of the s-.-- area, but excluding frontages on Nain Street and Barker Street, and stated that the Board feR Justified in making such a reco.w~ndetion due to the significance of the .Battle. He stated that the Boar& does not take into consideration the practical problems in- volved of acquitinS property, but makes rec~mmendetions to the Federal Government on the basis of history only. He advised that never before in the history of the DEpart- ment had they encountered a situation where so much valuable historical property was involved. Mr. Herbert advised that the policy established in previous cases ~as that the Federal Government would set aside a certain property as a National Site, which property had been deeded to it in fee simply by the Province. He cited an example of a recent undertaking, being the Fortress of Loutsburg deeded by the Province of Nova Scotia to the Federal Government, where the Province had expropriated the land frcex the Nunicilmality. He added that there had been no cases where a Historic Site. had been acquired over a periodofyeara. Niss LsMarsh, in summin~ up the action to be taken, stated that the first ~hin~ to be datereined is whether or not the City Council was interested in having the proposed historic site development. If Council ~as interested, then they should consult with the PbanninSBcardanddecide~hat amount of perk they are preptred to recoessend, and it would then be necessary for the Plannin~ Bo~r&to obtain the approval of the Ontario Muniotl~lBoar&tohavea by-law en~ctedwh~ehwould freeze the land as a~reanbeltarea. After Council's decision is made it would be up to the Federal Government to consult with the Provincial Government and the two Governments together would be involved in the matter of acquiring the land. She stated that it would not cost the City anythinS to acquire the land, but costs would be between the Provincial and Federal Governnmnts, and the Clty's main role would be to have the land frozen, and they would not be called upon to purchase any land. In answer to a question, Miss I~rsh stated that the act of freezing the land would remove the possibility of loss to anyone who had acquired property in the area, and for those who owned property around the area, it would increase the value of their lands to be adjacent to the green belt area. She stated that people would not be able to develop in the area, 'but they would ~et hack an~ rodhey they had invested, and there ~as other land in the c~mmunity which could be used for development. Hies IaHarsh stated that Council might wish to hake reC~endations pertainin~ to certain of the lands, possibl~ that the property on which the United Church st~mde might be excluded. She advised that in the programs, sce~ of the property might be preserved in the form of a battle field, or possibl~ scme of the early structures might be re-built. His Worehip Nayor Kei~han requested that the information ~tr· Herbert had presented ccnceroing the battle~rousd area, etc. be made available to Council during their etud~ on the matter, and Hr. laing stated that copies of this material, lnclud- tn_e mapS, wOUld be produced for Council. In concludin~ his r~m~rks on the matter, Mr. lair~ s~ated that whatever de- cision Council m~kes, whether they feel they can make a contribution to the extent of either of the t~o reco~mendetions of the Historic Sites Board, or even a much smaller area, that an endearour should be made to have the project developed in as few years as possible rather than hayinS it spread over a great number of years. He stressed that Council should decide what they would like done, and then ask for the co-operation of the Federal and Provincial Governments. At the cc~pletiun of the meeting, His Worship Hayor KeiS~a thanked Nlss I~rsh, Hr. laing and Hr. Herbert for attendin~ the meetin6 a~d Hr. Iain~, in turn, expressed appreciation to Council.

The Council having received and read the minutes of the Special Meet- ings of April 30thandMay2nd, and the Re~,]ArMeeting of May 3rd, 1965, adopted these on the motion of AId. Scott and Ald. F. Martin. Construction of new Fire Hall, Dorchester Road N. His Worship Mayor R. F. Keighan advised Members of Council of the problem concerning the construction of the new Fire Hall, and stated that under the Contract with the Contractore, D~ninion Construction Company, the work was scheduled for com- pletion by Mey 31st, but to date only the footings and foundation walls had been cc~= pieted. It was indicated that with the progress made to date, the building would not be completed until July. Mr. M. Johnston, Assistant Building Inspector, advised that the delay in construction was partly caused by weather conditions, and partly by the sub-contractor, Barrett Pro-Cast Concrete Ltd., who had not delivered the pre- cast concrete columns and beams, and it was explained that the reason for their de- laywas due to the fact that they were engaged in a major ccfitraet for the Niagara Skyion Tower, and other work had been set aside. Mr. A. C. Huggins, Assistant City Manager, outlined the background details of the project, and explained that the City had expected to recover $7,~O0.00 under the Winter Works lmrogr~--we if the work had been completed by April 30th. It was explained that an extension of the Progreece of one month's tia~ to)lay 31st was possible in cases where construction work was actually under way for a period of 5 months, but in the City's case no extension could be granted, since the application had only been submitted in January, and this fact had been confirmed by the Municipal Subsidies Officer in Toronto by telephone on May 10th. The City Solicitor reported on the Clty's legal position under the terns of the Contract with the Contractor, and stated that the City could not recover any damages because of the fact that the work was not ocexpleted by May 31st. After s(~ne discussion on the matter it was indicated that the Recreation & Protection to Persons & Property Committee should meet with the Contractor, with the Solicitor also present, and try and get i~aediate action on this matter, and if it is found that the sub- contractor has not started work on the materials required, that possibl~ another contractor be hired in this respect.

All Members of Council were present. The Council having received and read the minutes of the previous meet- ing, adopted these on the motion of Ald. Gregory and Ald. ~a~ze. His Worship Mayor Keighan, welcomed Mr. J. L. Collinson, recently appointed as the Deputy City Clerk, to the meeting, pointing out that this was his first meeting in his official capacity. EEP~TATIONS Mr. George Geibel who was present at the meeting, along with a delegation, was permitted to address Council, on the motion of Ald. Swayze and Ald. Scott. Mr. Seihel proceeded to speak on the recent decision of the Ontario Municipal _~o~_rd in connection with the proposed purchase of land to be used for a Centennial Park and referred to the fact that the only objection by the O.M.B. was the appraised value was less than the offer of the City of Ni~ra Palls. He requested Council to give considerration to the possibility of providing an opportunity for citizens to raise funds publicly as a great number wished to participate in the project. He pointed out that the sum pledged at this time amounts to $878.00. In answer to queries as to the reaction of the Ontario Municipal Board to such a proposal, the City 8olicitor, Mr. McBurney, advised that it would be entirely up to the O.M.B. as we would be asking them to reverse their decision and give them the reason for such a request. The O.M.B. turned dram the proposed Genteunial Park Project on the grounds that the appraisal did not come up to the price that was offered for the property, and that the City could not proceed any further until the lk~ gave scae indication they would reverse their decision. Following further discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Gregory and Ald. Scott that the suggestion of Mr. Seibel be endorsed and that the City of Niagara Palls re-apply to the Ontario Hunieipal Board for the Centennial Project that this Council has previously approved under the terms as outlined to Council, or any other conditions as set by the O.M.B. and that the $12,000. ~e obtained by public subscrip- tion without putting a time limit on the amount to be raised.

Gregory, Chairman of the Centennial Committee, referred to the first actions of his Committee when proposed projects were considered by the Co~nittee, and that his C~ittee came up with the idea of a centennial square. The reasons out- lined in the first report submitted by the C~,mittee were still ulid except the Urban Renewel Report was in the hands of the printers. The Camittee then arranged a meet- ing with Professor Potpin and Mr. Greaves, who reviewed the situation to find out if it was possible to advocate a civic square or centennial square to Council as a cen- tennial project. Aid. Gregory advised that the pros and cons of the situation were reviewed on Sunday, June 27th, lmrticularl~v as to where'a civic complex could be placed in the City of NiaS~tra Falls and it has been established by Council that it would have to be in the central business district and three sites could be selected. After very serious consideration, the Ccgmittee of the Whole reccmmended that a civic complex be situated in the area bounded by Q~een Street, Ontario Avenue, Morrison Street, Eliza- beth Place and Erie Avenue· He advised that it was important to state one of the main reasons is to maintain direction that Queen Street has ~s a business con~unity at this time and to put new vigor into this central business district.

Mr. Alex Greaves, Planning Director, then proceeded to outline the reasons put forth by Professor Potpin for placing the civic canplea in the proposed area. A full discussion ensued during which Ald. Do~nie expressed the opinion it would require a lot more study than five weeks and that under Urban Renewal ~e might be able to acquire the ~4s and still obtain the $110,000. for another centennial project · Aid. gregory'advised that his Ccamittee had requested the Ms~or to convene a Ccemittee of the Whole and that a majority of the Ccmmittee~s support was indicated, for the proposal of · centennial square. Several other projects were considered but this one had the ma~ority~s support. The Alde..an stressed this because members of the Ccmsittee who originally ~ere not in fayour of a centennSal square or centennial complex at this time should be able to voice their opinion. Aid. Nitchelson was of the opinion that a meetin~ should be arranged between ~he Plannim6 Board, Council and H. G.

Pursuant to adjournment, Council met at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, July 12th,1965 for the purpose of considering general business and finance. All Members of Council were present. The Council, having received and read the minutes of the previous meet- ing, adopted these on the motion of'Ald. Scott and Ald. MacBain. DEPbTATIONS H. G. Acres & Comtany presentation re: Proposed Centennial Square Messrs. L. O. ~ertler, Peter vanEss and B. Meredith of the Firm of H. O. Acres & Company were present at the meeting to submit a presentation to Council in respect to their concept for a proposed Centennial Square, for the area west of the present City Hall and south of Queen Street, and measuring approximately 100 feet by 200 feet. The proposal would necessitate the removal of the present Fire Hall, the comfort station and garage immediately to the rear of the Firm Hall, and also the removal of the Market Square. Mr. Gertler advised Council that two principles had guided their work on the project; - to take great care that the project ~Duld fit into the structure of the City as it will be spermanent fixture, and: - to design the project so that it would serve as a focus for a future civic complex, and tie in with and enhance the develol~ent of the downtown area. Mr. vanEss outlined some of the basic assumptions that were accep- ted by Acres in determining a suitable project. The proposal submitted included the possibility of Queen Street becoming a Mall with traffic being routed on one-way streets bisecting Queen Street. The report indicated that the civic complex should be integ- rated and conform to future plans for urban renewal in the central business district. Mr. Meredith presented artistic sketches showing the proposed Centennial Square and the functions it should fulfil. He stated that the Square would provide an excellent and suitable meeting place for open air gatherings and ceremonies, and two raised plat- forms had been included for such purposes. The square would also be equipped with plantinge, benches, and a shallow pool which would have sc~e type of sculpture in the centre. Mr. Meredith advised that.the total estimated cost.of the-square including planrings, pool, sculpture, etc. would be $98,000.00, with the surrounding landscaping and parking area to cost $25,000.00. It was pointed out that the Centennial Grant would not apply to the $25,000.00 figure. Included in the estimated costs was a 5% escala- tion of cost item, and a 10~ contingency item. Mr. Meredith also stated that the $98,000.00 figure did not include funds for the demolition of buildings, or the acq- uisition of properties, but that at the present time the properties involved were all City owned. It was also suggested that the square could be used as an outdoor skating rink in the winter, and also that rest rooms might be placed under the raised portion at the southerly end of the Square. Following the presentation, it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Gregory and Ald. Rearms that Council adopt the Centennial Square in prin. -iple as outlined by the representatives of H. G. Acres & Ccmpan~-, and forthwith, appli. cation be made to the Ontario Centennial Cc~,nissiouand the Federal centennial C~is- sion for approval of the project, ,and the Centennial Committee of Council be granted power to act in connection with the preparation of detailed plans and tenders in con- Junction with H. ~. Acres and Company. This motionwas carried with Ald. Downie vot- ing contrary. (Ald. Downie indicated that he was not opposed to the proposal, but as he had indicated previously, felt that the project should be carried out under the Urban Renewal scheme. ) SEE Resolution No. 110 Goes. ~89 - .Charles A.

Carri.ed~ with Ald. Dre~ox7 centtexT. ~S~_~W-law No. 6888 Previous to the above action, Mr. Paul Brtnsconhe was granted permission to address Council, on the motion of Ai~. Gregory and Ald. Jobns. Mr. Branscomhe asked the Press to ignore his remarks at this time, stating this would be helpful to the project in its timing or seeplotion as there was ton much publicity at this time. ~e proceeded to explain in detail the concept o~' to~n housinK and its advantages to the municipality. He stated that the entiFe pro~ect would be on private property. Questions put to Mr. BranseCabe wer~ answered satiS~aetori)~ with reference to the design function, and he 3~o. indicated that a lot more would be put into this development than the City puts in a subdivision. Provision will be made for playgrounds, recreational and. perking facilities. ~'ne speaker indicated that he failed to see ho~ this town housing plan ccees under a subdivision policy. A full discussion then followed durin~ which Aid. Downie queried the methods of assessment, being of the opinion that Council should delay any action until a further study had been made regarding such town housing pro- Jects in other municipalities. He indicated his desire to ascertain how much money. the City will receive and he therefore would. be voting contrary at this time. Ald. Greg- ory was of the opinion that there should. be a set policy for to~n housing develolmnents and that Council should not take any action until a policy has been established. Alderman Johns concurred with Alderman Oregory, being of the opinion that Council should wait to establish a policy based on lessons leareed during the actual period of development. However, the Alderman felt that an amending by-law was in order. City Manager presented an expl-n__~tion on the By-law to amend the Zoning By-law which was to ch~,~me the zoning from Ccsercial to Apartment Use and that Apartment use in- cludes any type of multiple family housing. However, in this particular case it does not comply with the By-law because each unit dons not front on a public street and the By-law No. 6888 to amend By-law No. 6827 (which was an a~endsent to Zoning By-law 2930) is to make an exception~of each unit not having access to a public street. 7he City M~n~ger explained that y-law Number 6888 will allow (1) building of residential units '- which do not front on a~public street. (2) ~vne building of more than one building '~ ,3 on Cue lot to approve this project in relation to the site plan agreement which us designed in Beeember, 1~ whereby 8tamford Green Investments tie themselves down to meet the various requirements of the City. Alder~n D~Nnie referred to Amending By-law ~8~7 which fezcried the property iron Com- mercial to Apartment Use and that nothing was done with respect to building manes on this site and now there was an ~_ndment before Coonci~ for t~wn housing. He queried Just exactly what ccemitments had been made. In answer to the Aldex~an's queries, M~. Branscc~e advised that Sta~ord Green Investments Ltd. are already finan- cinll~ c~,~itteed, to its own staff and thm,~ architectual fees; that the project had been delayed by various technicalities at the local and provincial level. Branscombe reiterated his request that the zonin~ changes allow buildings to face on streets other than public thoroughfares and the construction of more than one building per lot. ~he City Manager, at the request of Council, then telephoned Mr. Oreayes, the Plaming Director, for s~m~ guidance and clarification as to whether the By-law covered the latter point. Followin~ ~ontact with Mr. Greavas, it was decided that if the word- ing in the By-law did not at present cover ,the point, the City ~hna~er could make the necessary changas. ~'ne City Manager advised Council that the area proposed as the ,site for the develop- sent was re--oned from Cce~srcial to Alar~ment Use and under present soning, town housin~ is covered.

Gregory at a previous meeting is fully covered in the site plan agreement along with the suggestions of the Public Works Omittee carried out by the applicant and his associates, the City should not have any problems with the proposed development.

Martin in respe.ct to recreational facilities, he was quite prepared to sunport the project this time, although there was no set policy, the report of the PUblic Works Coannittee covers it very well. Ald. Johns was of the opinion that it ~ms extremely awkward and impos- s[b].e to develop a policy to cover all situations and that developments of this type would have to be treeted on individual basis, but that the Corporation is well pro- tected by the site plan agreement and the items to be included ~s contained in the PUblic Works Report. In answer to a query by Ald. Mitchelson with reference to Clause 2 of the Report, Ald. G. Martin stated that inspections will be made as to whether the work is being carried out according to Municipal Spocificatlons.

McKeown and Officers of the Comgx~gation of the l)r~mond Hill Presbyterian Church were present at the Council Meeting in respect to the presenta- tion of a Petition headed by thai r Church, dealing with the Church's position in connection with the proposed development of the site of the Battle of Lundy's Lane as a national shrine. In addition to signatures from the members of the Congregation of the Dpm~Ond Mill Presbyterian Church, the Petition includ~.d signatures from the Congregations of thirteen area Churches, and from p~rsons residing in Municipalities adjacent to' the City of Niagara Palls. It w~s indicated thah to date, a total of i,81~ persons had signed the Petition. His Worship Mayor Keighan advised that Rev. McKeown had visited the Mayor's Office to advise of the church's feelings in the miter, and had indicated his pleasure at the fact that other Churches in the area, regardless of den(~nisation, had rallied to support the Drummond Hill ~resbyterian Church On its stand. It was then ordered on the motion of Ald. Scott, seconded by Ald. ~earss that REv. McKeown be granted permission to address Council. Rev. McKeown advised that his Congregation had been expecting that the Church would be allowed to stay, but that (bvernment Authorities would re-design the Church so that it would fit in with the Site. REv. McKeown then explained that for some time he had been worried about the apathetic state that existed throughout the Country, and therefore, had been very grateful for the support extended from the other Churches in the cc. unusity, which meant a stirring up of interest of the whole of the Christian Community and which pointed o~ that people are looking for certainties ~n a world of confusion, and ateted that he was concerned not only with the building, but also that the com- Plete spirittml life of the ~hole coa~nunity could be affected. Rev. McKeown stated that his Church did not wish to re-build-as it would mean selling a birthright that had its beginnings in 1802, and asked that Cotmcil not forget that while the Historic Site had a meaning to Canada, it meant a great deal more to his Wet ,a~pping Congrega- tion. At the conclusion of'REv. Mcieown's submission, His Worship Mayor Keighan ad- vAsed that the Department of Northern Affairs in their recotmmendation to Cormoil had lei~ Council with a difficult decision, in that they had recommended the exclusion of the Presbyterian Church property, hut at the same time. had stated that such exclusion of the Church site would leave out a very focal point of the Battle, and also that any area apprOVed at this time could not be increased at a later date. Mayor Keighan also advised that the motion of Council was passed on the usderstsnding that t~e de- tails of the matter would be worked out with the officers of the Department of Northern A~faira, and';that a meeting had been asked for. He stated that it was his hope that the Church could be represented at such a meeting to present their views, and to pes- siblyachieve a solution to the satisfaction of all. Mayor Keighan explained that it ~13o had been the intention of the Historical 8its Cosunities that nothing would be done until a meetinS had been arranged with all persons concerned. Alderm~n Johns, Chairman, of the Committee, stated that in the Report presented to Council there had been no mention of bbliterating the Church, but it had al~sys been the intention to preserve this site the uy it was ~n 1814, and that there would be a Church there after the Park was established, but all the details of the Church would have to be worked out. Alderman johns also emphasized that as soOn as his C~mittee kne~ the details it ~s their intention to hold a public meetin. g t~o i. nform those who were con- cerned ~ith the development. At this time_, Members of Council also expressed their opinions on the matter. It us then ordered on the motion Of Alderman 6. Martin and Aid. Oregory that no final decision will be acted upon until. the people concerned are heard at a p~blic meeting, called by the C.-;-..ittee. This motion ~as carried animously.

F~ANDADOPTED, 22nd, November Council Chamber November 16th, 1965. Council met at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16th, 1965,-with Members and Officials of the Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Flanning Board, and with Professor Oeorges Potvim, for the Purpose of receiving from .the Planning Board and Professor Fotvin the completed Urban ~enewal l~eport. All Members of Council were present with the exception of Alderman F. Martin and Alderman C.Oregory. His Worship Mayor R. F. ](sighan presided. Mr. E. A. Thomas, Chairman of the Planning Board, advised that a resolution had been passed at a meeting of the Planning Board to the effect that the Planning Board, having received the printed and completed Urban Renewal ~eport from Professor Pot fin,. recommended- its. stud~. and- action by the Council. of. the City. of* Niagara. Falls. At this point, Professor Potvln was called upon for his ccements in connection with the Official presentation of the Urban l~enewal Report. He stated that he was very happy to be able tQ present the Hopoft on the Urban Henewal Stu~ to the Council and explained that the * ban Renewal Stud~ was aimed at, firefly, recognizing the Pro~clems which the Ctty"of Niagara Falls face at Present and are likely to face in the near future, with respect to pressures from many sources placed upon the City in order to adopt to changing human considerations, population considerations, and to economic pz~ssures, and to pressures setruing from an increased intensity of activity in Niagara Falls. He stated that many of these pressures ~-em from the Urban enviror~ent of Niagara Falls itself and that Niagara Falls, because of certain characteristics, was almost constantly subjected to pressures stemming from an outside context and this ~s why the problems of Urban Renewal in Nta~are Falls ware parttonlerly difficult to define, and attempts at solving or suggesting solutions to problems ware also difficult to achieve. He advised that the Urban Renewal Stud~ was part and parcel of the over~all planning function, and Urban Renewal was one of the instruments of sound ccemunlty planning. Prof. Potvtn stated that the HYdroElectric Po~er Cc,~aisston of C~terto was one of the agencies which, in Niagara Falls, has had considerable influence, similar to the tnflu~ ence created by tourAcre, explaining that the fact that an important Potential resource was located in the area caused outside Pressures which, while not ~ntque, certainiF ware not colnon to other Canadian communities. He re~arhed that from the beginning of his contacts with the City he had had the *impression that the oceanunity 'of Niagara Falls felt very seriousl~i and was *very much aware of the 'impenhance of the plsnning function, and this orig~.n~Z1 tsprasston had stayed in his mind. He stated that this 'attitude wards the ~nportance of p]ann~,~ awareness within the Cca~nmtty should be maintained and would appiF to short term projects and long term *needs. He explained that in the couA.se of the su~er he had worked quite closeiF with the elected representatives and some of the appointed officials of Nineurn Falls in an effort to define and to ~rrive at a de- cision upou the Centennial project ~ Professor Potvia then stated that it was unfort- ,~n~te-that circ~mmtanoes .which have affected his life and work had Prevented him from .satisfying Cormoil fUllF, and' that ~the Urban l~enewal Hopoft:should have been presented a long tt~e ago. ,'..~ Nis Worship Mayor HeiShan a~vised that he realized that' eirc~astances beyond Mr. Potvin's control had resulted in the d~lay in su~aitting 'the Report, .and stated that Mr. Potvines assistance on the Centennial 'Pro~ect matter, more than made up for the delay, Mayor ][sighan then stated that he xas afraid that people in the ccesunity might be of the opinion that no~ that the Urban Renewal RePort had been finaliF presented, insediate plans for rs-develolaent wuld be started, and he than asked Profeeaor PotvAn to outline the next steps to be taken. * '- . Professor Potvin then explained that the Urban Renewal Stud~ had taken the sunitF as a whela and bed attea~d to define the most salient problems requiring solutions~. -~e 'then 'Presented ~ke 'three t~pes o~ ~xete 'Crea~n~: · 'I~ ~he/ecsaunit~ as a wh · ted the nest i~iate task ~ olewas t~ same an assessment ef ~he Probless. Altho~ the ~epor~ suggests an order of Priority, this is a suggestion made by the Consultant, and the ultimate decision must rest with community officials. Once Council have de- cided upon what they feel is an acceptable order of priority, which represents the first step, the next step will be to engage in more specific, detailed studies or "Schemes". After the Council, with the advice of its Planning Board and Urban Re- newal Ccemittee, has decided on an order of Priority, application is made to the Fadsral and Provincial ~overnments, for financial assistance to carry out detailed sties which will ~nable the Council to carry out the first priority phase. He indicated that the rban Renewal Schemes should not take too long to camplets. It was explained that the Federal Government would Participate to the extent of ~0% of the e: cost, and the Province would share with the MuniciPality, equally, the reminder of the cost. Once the Urban Renewal Scheme or Schemes are canpleted, then Urban Renewal action can be carried out. Depending upon areas of priority, the -~enewal projects will involve in varying degrees, the three phases of Urban Renewal. It will involve conservation, and in sane cases it may involve certain improvements to Zoning Legis- lation. It may involve in developing certain housing and occupancy standards. It my involve in some form of Judicial control over Urban growth. Such action, will also involve, in varying measure, sane form of rehabilitation. In r~habilitation there is the possibility of assistance under certain conditions, fran the higher levels of Government. Such schemes will also involve re-development, and depending upon the form of re-develol~ent, higher level ~overnment assistance should also be avail- able. Professor Potvim emphasized that Urban Renewal action in Niagara Falls should not be exclusiveiF a Public financed programme, and stated that there ware in Niagara Falls, ~reat opportunities for private interests to be interested in renewal action and therefore, Urban P~newal in Niagara Falls was something which should involve both public investment and private investment. in sc~e phases it should involve pri- vate investment exclusiveiF, but in many other phases there should be a possibility of combining private and public effort. Alderma~ Mitchelson referred to Chapter ~ on page 23 with reference to specific renewal objections and Priorities and stated that these were decisions which would be rather difficult to make, and he asked, if Council felt it was nece~-~ sary, if Mr. Potvin would be available for cc~s,Altation in respect to this matter, and. also in respect to the objectives under Chapter ~. Professor Potvim stated that if at any time he could be of help he would make himself available. ~le advised that possib2~. his help might be more needed in the initial stages when the problem facing the City would he to arrive at a determination of an acceptable order of Priorities. Once the order of priorities had been decided upon,. then it will be a matter for the City to hire the sex~ices of a Consultant to prepare schemes, and who would actualiF be able to, in sPecific areas, carry out studies and give useful advice with respect to the desirable detailed treatment or forms of treatment needed in specific areas. Professor Potvim further stated that any Urban Renewal action in the City could be successful only when the cczmunity as a whole was made aware of what was taking place, and what the authorities of the camunity were seeking, and what benefits would be derived from such actions, by the camnunity at large. He stated thatit was very Important that the Public be kept informed at all times. His Worship Mayor Keighan then expressed the sincere appreciation of Coun= oil to the Members and Officials of the Planning Board for their work on this matter, and particu~wiF to the P]an~ing Director, Mr. A. Greaves, for his invaluable assis- - · ~2e~. ~ e~xphasAze~ that. his efforts were great~v. appreciated ........ Mr. Greaves then c~m~_nted briefly on the Report and outlined the iate steps to he taken, and stated it was his wish that the Urban Renewal Cc~mittee be formulated to commence their duties as soon as possible. Mr. Thenms stated that the Sub-ccemittee should ~et together as quickly as possible and that if this ccemittee could get same idea of what particular section or sections should he the first objective, it might help them to suggest certain people for the final Urban Henoval Ccssnittee. His Worship Ma~or Kei~han then advised that the meetin~ of the sub-c~a, Attee would be held on ~ednesday, November 2~th, 196~ at 7 p.m. in the City On behalf of Central Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Mr. John Stacey advised that he and other Officials of the Corporation would he very pleased to Participate in whatever wa~ they could to provide assistance. He stated that an early meeting, even before Council had decided on a specific area for a scheme, wottld be lost desirable. MaFor Meighan expresse~ the appreciation of Council to the Officials of C.~.H.C, for their interest and co-operstion. Hayor Keighan advised that already there had been req~ sts for copies of the Urban Renewal lieport, and pointed out that it was a public document. It was men- ticned that 200 -~optes of the ltepox~c had been printed, and it was Indicated that the City should at least recover the print~n~ costs. It was then ordered on the motion of Alderman Macesin, seconded by Alderman Downie that the City make available at cost (and the City Manager to determine this), on a first.arise, first-serve basis, the balance of the Urban Renewal llepor~s on h~d, after keeping a sufficient number of extra copies for official needs and emergencies that may arise.

Mr. Stacey of C.M.H.C. advised that while the a~ree~ent called for them to receive 150 to 250 copies of the Eepor~, their requirements would be ampl~ met if they were provided with 22 copies. Mr. Oreayes advised that he had obtained copies of Urban Renewal Reports free approximate],W ~0 Cities, and he would like to send copies of the City's Report to these Places. It was &lso decided that the Eeports would be distributed fro~ the City ~a11. Mr. Tb-.-s stated that at one time it was indicated that the Urban Renewal Report might be summarized for public use. Mr. Greaves stated that possibly the s,m~.~r to be carried in the Evenine Review would cover this situation.
