June 9, 2008 CPS 2008 -05 Niagara ails CANADA Councillor Victor Pietrangelo, Chair and Members of the Corporate Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: Re: CPS 2008 -05 2008 -2012 Capital Budget RECOMMENDATION: That the 2008 -2012 Capital Budget be approved as amended. BACKGROUND: On April 7, 2008, an information session on the 2008 -2012 Capital Budget provided an opportunity for Committee members to hear several relevant presentations. Mr. Jim Bruzzese of BMA Consulting presented financial factors that are affecting the City of Niagara Falls. He presented a broad analysis of the Canadian Economic outlook, growth and socio- demographic indicators, and general financial indicators for the City. Staff provided an overview of what the capital budget contained, the City's Debt Management Policy, criteria for the selection of projects and an impact analysis. During the discussion, several key issues were raised by Committee members, including; The use of development charges and Section 37 of the Planning Act. The use of revenues from the sale of property. The inventory of serviced land ready for development. The tax levy impact as a result of new long term debt. The use of internal funding for capital projects on an interim basis. Following the discussion, Committee directed staff to review the capital budget in light of the key issues and to present a prioritized listing of capital projects for the next budget deliberation. On April 28, 2008 under new business, Council directed staff to prepare reports on the legality of the interim borrowing bylaw, and the facts of the financing of the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook sanitary sewer service projects. Update to the 2008 2012 Capital Budget Documents P.O. Box. 1023, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada L2E 6X5 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca An updated package of Capita review. The package in udget documents has been prepared for the Committee's evised project worksheets and revised summaries, Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department June 9, 2008 2 CPS 2008 -05 three new projects, and a new binder entitled "Category 2 Prioritization Exercise (For assistance, staff is available to help update the Committee members' budget documents.) The next budget discussion will reference the updated documents, especially the Prioritization Exercise for the Category 2 projects. Staff has updated the Capital Budget Project Summary which separated the projects into three categories. The categories are as follows: Category 1- includes projects that have received Council approval, are in- progress and may have expenditures in future years. Category 1 projects would be difficult to stop; as a stop may incur additional costs. Category 2 includes projects that begin in 2008 and may have expenditures in future years. The binder, "Category 2 Prioritization Exercise" provides briefing notes and project priorities by colour code. The colour coding is as follows; green represents high priority, yellow represents medium priority, and orange represents low priority. The following criteria were used to prioritize the Category 2 projects: Council's strategic priorities. Health and safety impacts. Economic development impacts. Operational impacts. Quality of life and community support. Availability of external financial support Category 3 includes projects that begin in 2009 or later years. Category 3 projects are future projects, which would be presented to Council for future consideration and approval. Staff encourages Committee to focus on the Category 2 projects for consideration and approval of the 2008 -2012 Capital Budget. Should Committee recommend to change any of the priorities or listing of projects, there may be an impact on the funding. Staff would review the existing fund resources and reallocate the funding to achieve the Committee's recommendations. Staff recommends that the 2008 -2012 Capital Budget be approved as amended.

That the Niagara Falls Board of Museums "Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project" be endorsed by the Committee; 2. That the Committee commit, in principle, up to $2 million in the Capital Budget; and 3. That Council send a letter of support for this project in the 2008 -2012 Capital Budget to the Board of Museums. BACKGROUND: On February 25, 2008, the 2008 Capital Budget was presented to the Corporate Services Committee. Due to the budget preparation timing the Board of Museums "Legacy" Project was not included in the 2008 Capital Budget, however; the Board of Museums made a special presentation to the Committee. The project was very well received and the Committee approved a motion to refer the Legacy Project to final Capital Budget deliberations. Attached is the project detail sheet for the addition /renovation portion of the project that was submitted by the Board. The estimated cost of the addition and renovations to the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum is $9.7 million which includes: building construction; an elevator and ramping to make the building fully accessible as mandated by provincial legislation; exhibit construction within the facility; contingency allowances; furnishings; fixtures and equipment; fees, and items such as rebuilding the covered walkway leading to the Sylvia Place Farmers Market, relocation of the Queen Victoria Monument, and reinforcing the floor assembly. The $9.7 million estimated cost assumes a tender date of March 2009. The Board of Museums also advised the Committee that there would be additional costs in relation to hazardous materials' assessment, property acquisition costs, a pedestrian Gateway/Walkway over Lundy's Lane, interpretive trails, and Battle Ground Hotel Museum improvements including the provision of a parking lot on nearby property. All of these items are directly related to the City's 1812 -2012 Task Force plans for the Bicentennial celebration. The additional cost estimate for these items of million would increase the project to a total cost of $11.5 million. 023 Niaga Falls, ON, Canada 1.2E 6X5 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Departmen. Finance Department June 9, 2008 2 CPS 2008 -02 The project has received considerable attention from the community regarding its fund- raising initiatives. The City, through the Clerks Office, has received approximately 100 support letters for the Legacy Project. In addition to private citizens, letters of support have come from a variety of groups including the Lundy's Lane Historical Society, local Business Improvement Areas, university history departments, cultural and church groups, amongst others. A sample of the support letters is attached to the report. Mr. Don Jackson, who is a leading community member in fund raising activities, is the Chair of the Board of Museums fund raising committee. At the February 25, 2008 meeting, Mr. Jackson explained the fund raising initiatives for the Legacy Project. The Committee was asked to consider a City contribution of $2 million toward the $11.5 million cost. This would require a fund raising commitment of $9.5 million from the Board. Some of the funds would come from the Federal and /or Provincial governments and some from private fund raising. In order to secure those funding commitments, the other levels of government would require City Council's support and prioritization of the project for the Bicentennial celebration. The Committee is reminded that the Lundy's Lane Museum is a City -owned building and is in desperate need of significant repairs for its continued use. Considerable dollars are allocated in the Legacy Project costs to restore what currently exists. The construction cost of $9.7 million includes $2.3 million in interior and exterior restorations, provincially mandated accessibility updates and removals of contaminated materials. This cost will be the first expenditure that would occur in any kind of construction project for this building. The Lundy's Lane Board of Museums has expressed these needs over the past several years. With the Bicentennial only a few years away, the Board sees an urgent need that these investments be completed immediately. With each passing year, the condition of the building deteriorates. The opportunity, to not only restore the existing building, as well as expand the facility, is fast becoming an unavoidable action of City Council and the Board of Museums to preserve this historic asset. The Committee is advised that the Legacy Project has been referred to final budget deliberations. Existing fund resources include reserves, reserve funds, capital holding reserves, and debentures. All of these sources of funding would need to be reviewed if the Committee chose to move this project into the 2008 expenditures of the 2008 -2012 Capital Projects Budget. As a suggestion, the Committee could commit its financial support in principle. The commitment would be conditional on the Board of Museums reaching their fund raising target of $9.5 million. As stated earlier, the Federal and /or Provincial governments would want City Council's support and prioritization of the Legacy Project for the Bicentennial celebration.

The Battlefield of Lundy's Lane and the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum are two significant heritage resources in the City of Niagara Falls. The Battle of Lundy's Lane is considered, without reservation, to be the most important battle in all of the War of 1812 -14 and the battlefield, located in the heart of the City, is recognized as a heritage site of local, national and binational importance. The Museum, as the City's memory bank, collects, preserves and portrays the City's rich historical and cultural heritage. The collections relating to the Battle of Lundy's Lane and the War of 1812 are an especially important component of the Museum's holdings and exhibits. Th'Society fully supports the development of the Battlefield of Lundrs Lane as an enhanced interpretation site, for local residents and visitors, particularly with the approaching Bicentennial of the War of 1812. The Society fully supports the renovation and expansion of the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum in order that the Museum can more effectively preserve, display and interpret the record of the City's growth and development, and especially the significance of the Battle of Lundy's Lane as part of our local and Canadian history. The Society applauds and supports the Museum Board's proposal and vision of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project and respectfully requests that the Project be incorporated in the City's 5 -Year Capital Budget forecast.

The Lundy's Lane Battlefield and the City's Lundy's Lane Historical Museum are very significant resources in our community's heritage infrastructure and their development is an important step in welcoming visitors to our community during the Bicentennial of the War of 1 812. Our BL4 Board of .Directors has unanimously voted to support the Museum Board's efforts.

Additionally, given the level of funding required to simply upgrade the existing building to bring it up to standard, it makes economic sense to invest that same amount of capital into a greater more expanded vision. You do the math 2 million to keep what you have or 2 million to add 11.8 million of value to Niagara's infrastructure!

Sincerely, Frances Berry, Chair Lundy's Lane BIA Mayor Salci, Members of Niagara Falls City Council and Board of Muse City Hall 4310 Queen St. Niagara Falls Keep up the good work. Jim Hill 6206 Pine Grove Avenue Niagara Falls As a citizen of Niagara Falls, I was thrilled to hear the city is supporting efforts to modernize the existing Lundy's Lane Museum building. The 1870's Stamford Town Hall is a great old building and should be preserved but the city's main museum really needs a serious boost. I think revitalizing the Lundy's Lane Museum is important on so many levels. I live in historic Drummondville and improving the museum will go a long way in improving the overall appearance and focus in the area. As shops and cafes open in the area, or re -open in the case of the venerable Regal, an improved museum will enhance the market, the streets and the entire neighbourhood. The museum facelift will be an important cultural addition to the recreational facilities being developed in other parts of the city. i don't know of another community in Canada that has a more colourful and exciting past. The Falls, dramatic battles, daredevils, the birth place of hydro, hosting royalty, celebrity visits, honeymoon capital of the world, tourism capital of North America, and the stories of all the people who have lived in or visited this community. That is why we need a modern museum more than any other place in Ontario. This will add depth to our tourism products and remind people that you haven't lived until you visit Niagara Falls need proof visit the Lundy's Lane Museum and add your name to the list of famous people who had to see this important place. In addition, this is a quality of life issue for the community. Communities with vibrant cultural and heritage resources draw visitors, new citizens and investment. Museums are an indication of what we think of the place where we live and how we plan on moving into the future. In the long term, this is a small investment from the city's capital budget that will have a positive effect for generations of Niagara Falls citizens. Man R Siener, PhD.

It is also a crucial component of the critical mass of War of 1812 sites on both sides of the river that will bring the world to our doorstep from 2012 through 2014. This project is a way for the community to show pride in its heritage and to welcome visitors to take part in our unique story. By serving those visitors, the project will quickly repay the public investment. Protecting and preserving our community's history and heritage is important. The expansion and renovation of the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum, will allow me to proudly show off Niagara Falls' internationally significant site and artifact collection to both my family and friends during the Bicentennial and for years afterward.

Sayers, FCA 556 King St., Unit 16, SS1 Niagara -on- the -Lake, ON Canada LOS 1J0 905 -468 -3014 Re: Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project I am writing this letter in support of the proposed Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project as presented to a Council meeting in late February. As a Chartered Accountant who believes that our past has shaped our present and will continue to impact on our future, I am dismayed that there is the possibility that the project may not be included in your Capital Budget for the coming 5 years. Yes, roads and sewers and other capital projects are important capital infrastructure. However, the city's historical heritage is what can save it from being seen in the eyes of prospective visitors as a bunch of casinos and hotels blocking the rest of the city from the Falls. It's an infrastructure component that cannot be rebuilt if its components are allowed to wither away, and the proposed Project appears to be able to save this heritage and project Canada's most important battle of the era fully onto the national scene. It's important to be able to remind residents and visitors that although Niagara Falls was a small settlement of pioneers two hundred years ago, it was a vital national guardian. Today it's much larger. Tomorrow...? Only history can help to contextualize the future. You will note that I am a non resident of Niagara Falls. When my wife and I relocated from Toronto some seven years ago, I had the good fortune to come across the Lundy's Lane Museum, a forgotten gem in a neighbourhood desperately in need of revitalization. Since that time my wife and I have regularly contributed financially and as volunteers to the Lundy's Lane Museum, much more so than to the Niagara -on- the -Lake Museum which is just down the street from us. "Why you may ask. Hopefully you recognize that you have a wealth of cultural material, including First Nations and Black Canadian artifacts. You have a vibrant, professional staff capable of revitalizing the museum, and afterward the immediate neighbourhood, to a level to which any Mayor or Council would be proud. Yours truly, 2 This major leap forward needs funding, on an occasion when the two higher levels of government are highly likely to be receptive to adding their own financial support. The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 is a major national event, and the project proposed by the Museum's Board makes sense under all criteria financial, historical, cultural, and the overall promotion of your City. We have donated significantly from our own income, and we hope that the City will also recognize the value of one of its defining events and one of its greatest treasures. Please support the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project by including it in your forthcoming Capital Budget. All Canadians will thank you.

Box 1023 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Re: Lundy's Lane Battlefield Legacy Project To Whom It May Concern, I would like to provide the following letter to offer my support for the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Project that has been proposed by the Board of Museums. It's my understanding that Lundy's Lane Museum would like to raise funds to expand the museum and refurbish their building in time for the 200 Anniversary of The War of 1812 and The Battle of Lundy's Lane. I support their efforts and hope you will do the same by including their project in your Five Year Capital Budget forecast for the City of Niagara Falls. The museum and battlefield areas are major parts of Canada's and our city's heritage and it's important to provide them with the finances they need to accommodate visitors on this landmark anniversary and well into the future. Like my late great- grandfather, F.H. Leslie, I'm a proud supporter of the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum and the Niagara Falls heritage sector. I've also noticed that the City of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Falls Review and the Fairview Cemetery have all reached their 100 and 125 anniversaries in recent years and celebrated these historic milestones with several high profile projects and events. As the 1 1 th city established in Ontario, Niagara Falls clearly has a long history and a wealth of fascinating stories worth promoting to the local and worldwide tourism market. It would be a shame to see the museum and the stories of our families and citizens neglected rather than properly promoted as a source of income, excitement and more importantly, civic pride.

BACKGROUND: Questions Raised by Council on April 28, 2008 Under new business, at the April 28, 2008 Council meeting, questions were raised by Councillors regarding the two development projects located in the Garner south area. The questions focused on staff's use of interim funding, development charge funding and the possible use of debenture funding for the projects. Council directed staff to bring back a report on the facts of the financing of the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas projects. History of Reports to Council Niag ara ails CANADA Staff has prepared a chart of the reports relating to the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas projects (attached). These reports show the date, report number, title, recommendation, contract amount and cumulative total for each project. All of the reports state that the funding for the projects would be received through Development Charges. 0 Queen Street, P.O. Box 1023, Niagara Falis, ON, Canada 1.2E 6X5 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department June 9, 2008 2 CPS 2008 -06 Explanation of Process for Interim Funding of Capital Projects The decision making authority of the Treasurer for the payment of accounts is found in the Municipal Act under Section 286. This section explains the main duties of the Treasurer. The Treasurer manages the cash flow of the municipality and makes the best possible use of the available sources of cash for the payment of accounts, including capital projects. The Treasurer has the responsibility to report to Council on the financial payments of the Municipality. In addition, the Treasurer provides annual reports on Capital Projects, Reserve Funds, Financial Leases, and Long Term Debentures. For a general description of the City's cash flows, please see the diagram (attached) entitled Cash Flow. This diagram shows the inflows of cash, the availability of cash in the City's bank account or from short term borrowing, and the out flows of cash. It is important to note that the use of short term borrowing only occurs, as needed. Each year the Treasurer brings forward the annual Borrowing By -law. This By -law provides for a source of short term borrowing, from the City's financial institution, if there were insufficient cash for operating expenditures, i.e., if the budget has not been approved or taxes have not been received. The Borrowing By -law authority is found in Section 407 of the Municipal Act. Section 405 of the Municipal Act allows the municipality to borrow in the short term for specific Capital Works. Capital Works, referred to in this section, are large capital projects, whose required funding will be in the form of long term debt. This section requires Regional approval of the required long term debt before approving an S.405 Short Term Borrowing By -law. For example, the Region has approved the $29.5 million in long term debenture funding for the Bob Gale Complex. This project has already expended $4.8 million which the Treasurer has paid by using internal sources of cash. The Treasurer has presented an S.405 Short Term Borrowing By -law for specific capital works, namely the construction of the four -pad arena complex. The By -law will provide sufficient short term borrowing, from the City's financial institution, for this specific capital project. Legality of the Interim Borrowing By -law Council directed staff to prepare a report on the legality of the Interim Borrowing By -law and that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing be contacted. The City Solicitor is preparing this report (L- 2008 -15). Explanation of the Projects Inclusion in the 2004 Development Charges Background Study The Development Charges Background Study was prepared in 2003/2004. At that time, the Manager of Development was asked to prepare a list of development projects that may be constructed within the subsequent 2004 -2014 ten -year planning period to accommodate growth. Considerable interest had been received from the Grand Niagara Resort developers in the Grassy Brook west area. There was a desire to extend sewers to facilitate their project which included the golf course, hotel and conference centre, timescale and condominium units. The extension of sewers would require a pumping station and other June 9, 2008 3 CPS 2008 -06 related infrastructure. Relying on knowledge of the Northwest Sanitary Sewer Service Area, the cost was estimated at $1.5 million for each of the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook service areas, for a total of $3 million. We now know these costs have escalated to $15.9 million. When the 2004 Development Charges Study estimates were determined, it was based on the best information available at the time about the Garner South Service Area. The City contracted Philip's Engineering Ltd., in August 2004, to complete a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and to determine how best to service this area. The consultant advised that the deep sewer construction in tight clay soils would add significant costs. Other issues that were not known previously included impacts from a high water table, having to directionally drill across a water course and the Welland River, and that the Region had implemented a new design criteria for pumping stations. The consultants work (Associated Engineering (Ont.) Ltd. Garner Southwest; Philips Engineering Limited Grassy Brook) addressed significant issues due to the expansion of the sewer services. the Ministry of the Environment's order to Grand Niagara Resort permitting a temporary holding tank, the substandard private sewage system at E.S. Fox, the expansion of Minacs that was limited by the Regional Health Unit the unavailable services for the Montrose Business Park, and a holding zone to be placed on the Heartland Forest Project. Funding Plan for the Projects The reports for the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas projects state that the funding would come from Development Charges. These projects have already expended $11.2 million which the Treasurer has paid by using the City's reserve funds, as an interim source of funds. Also, the Treasurer is using Development Charge revenues to payback the interim use of the reserve funds. To -date, $1.1 million has been paid back. No debenturing has been used for these projects. Staff did not become aware of the fact that the Development Charges fund would be insufficient to fund all Development Charge eligible projects upon completion, until the Fall of 2007. At that time, debenturing was considered, as an option, and referenced in the Capital Budget detail sheets for the most expensive projects, as opposed to a number of smaller projects. Explanation for including the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas Projects in the 2009 Development Charges Background Study Staff has started the process of gathering the information for the 2009 Development Charges Background Study. Since the two sanitary sewer projects were near completion, and since the areas would be developed in the future, staff requested Cam Watson, Watson and Associates Economists Ltd., to comment on the inclusion of these two projects in the 2009 Background Study. Mr. Watson confirmed that these projects would qualify for inclusion in the 2009 Development Charges Background Study. Mr. Watson stated that the projects would open those areas to future development and thus qualify in determining future Development Charge rates. The future Development Charge rates would also include any interim financing costs while the Development Charge revenues are collected to fund the projects. June 9, 2008 4 CPS- 2008 -06 Mr. Watson stressed the importance of explaining the large cost variance between the estimated project cost ($3 million) and the current cost ($15.9 million). The explanation must address the reasons for the increase, particularly in terms of the size, scope, and the benefitting area. Conclusion The Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas projects were included in the 2004 Development Charges Background Study at an estimated cost of $3 million. Due to significant issues that impacted the servicing of the areas, the actual cost is $15.9 million. The projects are eligible for inclusion in the 2009 Development Charges Background Study. Future Development Charges revenues will be used to pay for these projects. Staff is already reviewing a number of administrative issues based on the concerns raised, including cash flow /management plans for each capital project, a front -end agreement policy and a development charge credit policy. Council also directed the preparation of an inventory of developed and serviced land which is forthcoming. Finally, the Treasurer is responsible for the payment of accounts, managing the cash flows, and the short term use of borrowing. The Treasurer has undertaken these responsibilities in accordance with applicable legislation and past practices. Staff recommends that the interim funding of the Garner Southwest and Grassy Brook Sanitary Service Areas projects continue from Reserve Funds until Development Charge revenues have been received for these projects. The status of completion is as follows: Grassy Brook Project is fully operational and was commissioned on May 14, 2008. Garner South Project (Brown Road) is nearing the completion of the wet well and yard piping and is awaiting installation of pumps, electronics and mechanical system. Commission is expected in July /August 2008.

(1) At any time during a fiscal year, a municipality may authorize temporary borrowing, until the taxes are collected and other revenues are received, of the amount council considers necessary to meet the current expenditures of the municipality for the year, including amounts required in the year for, (a) sinking and retirement funds; (b) principal and interest due on any debt of the municipality; (c) school purposes; (d) other purposes the municipality is required by law to provide for; and (e) the amount of principal and interest payable by a person or municipality primarily liable for a debt, if the municipality has guaranteed the debt and the debt is in default. 2001, c. 25, s. 407 (1). Limit j Except with the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board, the total amount borrowed at any one time plus any outstanding amounts of principal borrowed and accrued interest shall not exceed, (a) from January 1 to September 30 in the year, 50 per cent of the total estimated revenues of the municipality as set out in the budget adopted for the year; and (b) from October 1 to December 31 in the year, 25 per cent of the total estimated revenues of the municipality as set out in the budget adopted for the year. 2001, c. 25, s. 407 (2). Pending adoption of budget al Until the budget is adopted in a year, the limits upon borrowing under subsection (2) shall temporarily be calculated using the estimated revenues of the municipality set out in the budget adopted for the previous year. 2001, c. 25, s. 407 (3). Exclusion ai In subsections (2) and (3), estimated revenues do not include revenues derivable or derived from, (a) any borrowing, including through any issue of debentures; (b) a surplus, including arrears of taxes, fees or charges; or (c) a transfer from the capital fund, reserve funds or reserves. 2001, c. 25, s. 407 (4). June 9, 2008 3 L- 2008 -15 Lender not responsible al The lender is not responsible for establishing the necessity of temporary borrowing under this section or the manner in which the borrowing is used. 2001, c. 25, s. 407 (5). (6) Repealed: 2006, c. 32, Sched. A, s. 175. In the fall of 2007, the Finance Department conducted a review of the Development Charges account. This review was part of a new approach to cash flow management initiated by the Director of Finance. Finance concluded from that review that the Development Charges account did not contain sufficient funds and was not anticipated to receive sufficient funds, to pay for all of the projects approved by Council that were intended to be funded by Development Charges in a timely manner, as accounts fell due. It was resolved that the solution to the problem would be to recommend to Council that the long term financing of the subject projects be debentured. Entries in the draft capital budget were revised to reflect this intention. In the meantime, the projects continued to be financed as described above. Upon initial review of the draft capital budget, Council indicated to Staff that it does not want the subject projects to be debentured. Other means of financing them will be employed, as outlined in Report CPS 2008 -06. The City Solicitor has contacted the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, made inquires with other in -house municipal counsel and conducted legal research, and reports as follows. The Issue: On these facts, did Staff have the authority to borrow funds to pay the bills arising from the Grassy Brook West Area Sanitary Sewer and the Garner West Pumping Station and Force Main. Legal Opinion: Leaving aside the question on whether borrowing actually took place, the authority for borrowing funds to pay bills associated with the subject projects is By -law No. 2008 -14. A Section 407 by -law is intended to pay the current expenditures of the municipality for the year. Those expenditures would include capital expenditures. This interpretation is consistent with the stated purposes of the reforms of the law that culminated with the enactment of the Act, which purposes include the simplification of municipal finance and the recognition of greater autonomy for municipalities. It is also supported by Section 8 of the Act which requires that municipal powers be given the broadest possible interpretation. Concern has been expressed that a by -law passed pursuant to Section 405 of the Act would be required on the facts of this situation, however, in the opinion of the City Solicitor, a Section 405 by -law would not be required until Council had made a determination that the subject projects were going to be financed using debentures. June 9, 2008 4 L- 2008 -15 Section 405 of the Act relates to "temporary borrowing to meet expenditures made in connection with a work to be financed in whole or in part by the issue of debentures As the issuing of debentures was never approved by Council, By -law No. 2007 -268 was sound authority for paying the bills in question if any borrowing was required to do so.

FALLS CLERKS '09 0521 12 5 May 21, 2008 Mayor Ted S City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada L2E 8X5 Your Worship: i am writing to you to ask you and your Council to waive the $492.23 building perrnit fee associated with an application at 13952 Morris Road in Cooks Mills. Perry and Mytene Shields are planning to build an addition on their home in order to keep their son Ryan in home care. Ryan has a rare degenerative disorder called Leukodystrophy. This is a disease where the brain slowly atrophies resulting in a gradual loss of speech, motor skills and muscular tone. The goal is to build an extension on the main floor of the house and that will allow them to care for Ryan on one floor with a fully accessible bedroom, washroom and support facilities. This will remove the hazard of taking Ryan up and down stairs as it is likely in the very near future that he will require a wheelchair and other assistive devices to get around and receive care from his family and support workers. A considerable fundraising and publicity campaign has been under way to raise money for this family. Because this disease is so rare there isn't a foundation or organized campaign like many of the other main diseases. Furthermore, because Ryan is not a child anymore and is one of the oldest people with the disease he has fallen through the cracks of available health programs with the Ontario Government We have held concerts, auctions and I even raised $3000 last year in being shaved bald for donatians to this cause. The biggest concrem is that Penny has had to quit his job as an electrician to stay at home and care for Ryan full -time. I feel it would be a great gesture for your Council on behalf of the people of Niagara Falls to participate by waiving the building permit fees as many have cxorne to the aid of this family. We would much rather see money spent on building the addition instead of administrative fees. We would also welcome any other ideas or offers to help raise funds or offer in -fund supplies or services for the build, People can make a paypal donation to the cause at Ryan's web site as well as volunteer in aid of this Family.

His family have chosen to continue to care for him at home, In order for him to stay in this loving, supportive environment, they need to renovate his living space. Government funding for such renovations is not available to them, so family and friends are working together to help raise some of what is needed. Ryan is at a difficult stage in his Iife where his body functions are quickly degenerating. He does not see or hear very well and walking is difficult, While he can still giggle when something strikes his funny bone, he has been unable to speak for a few years. Soon he will be confined to a wheelchair and will need special devices to help provide for all of his needs. Ryan's dad stays home with him full time and ensures that Ryan has activities to keep him happy and healthy. Over the years Ryan has seen many specialists and for a tong time was misdiagnosed. This is because he seems to have a rare form of a very rare disease. Many children with Leukodystrophy don't live as long as he has so in that regard he is lucky. It is just in the last 2 years that they have confirmed that Ryan has Leukodystrophy. What Is Leukodystrophy Leukodystrophies are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the central nervous system by disrupting the growth or maintenance of the myelin sheath that insulates nerve cells. These disorders are progressive, meaning that they tend to get worse throughout a persons life. The two main components of the nervous system: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) interact to carry and receive signals that are responsible for nearly everything we do, including involuntary functions such as our heartbeat, and voluntary functions such as walking. Myelin is the protective coat surrounding the neurons and is responsible for ensuring signals between the CNS and PNS transmit properly, When the myelin is damaged signals get lost in transmission and the nervous system can no longer function properly. There is no known cure for t_euklodystrophy and as the brain matter disintegrates the body function decreases to the point where the body dies. This is the long term prognosis for this disease. How you can help It is with this prognosis in mind that we are trying to raise funds to build a bedroom, therapy room and washroom on the main floor for Ryan, Because there are no agencies that can offer financial assistance for an addition to our house your donation will help to ensure that Ryan can continue .to live an enriched and resourceful Iife at home. Our friends are planning a fund raising event for April 19, 2008. The band Roadshow will be performing a benefit concert in conjunction with a local choir, The concert will be held at Notre Dame High School Auditorium at 64 Smith Street, Welland, ON, Tickets are $20 per person or $60 per family. For tickets and information please contact Sandy at 905 938 9110 or by email at knightsandyyahoo.ca Your support will make a world of difference to his life.

This year's theme for Seniors' Month is 'Discover the Possibilities Our goal is to encourage older adults to live life to the fullest and to continue to make their enormous contributions to their families, communities and province. In the past, municipalities have reached out to older Ontarians by organizing local information fairs, celebrating seniors' achievements and by encouraging seniors to remain active and engaged. Seniors' Month is a good opportunity to put the spotlight on the local services and programs available in your community that help frail seniors live with dignity and as independently as possible. For your convenience, a sample proclamation is enclosed for your consideration. Kindly advise us if you will be honouring seniors in your community this June.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls ON L2E 6X5 Dear Mr. Dean Iorfida, Re: Main and Ferry BIA Budget The Main Ferry Business Improvement Association convened their annual general meeting on Thurs. May 29, 2008. The members approved the 2008 -2009 annual budget of the Main Ferry BIA, the budget is attached to this letter as well as a copy of the concept plan for the Main Ferry Streetscape Plan. The members of the Main Ferry BIA are comprised primarily of small business operators and for the past several years have confirmed their commitment to the redevelopment of the "Uptown" business district in Niagara Falls. This year's budget is reflective of their commitment by placing the majority of the levy collected to add into the BIA reserve fund which will go towards the district's streetscape master plan in 2009 -2010 in conjunction with our redevelopment partners the City and the Region. The members would like to thank City Council and Staff for their support in the redevelopment of the Historic Drummondville district.

In late summer 2005, the Winter Festival of Lights upon completing a strategic review of the festival decided to refocus its resources toward improving and enhancing its lighting display program. With this redirection the festival announced they were no longer able to support the NYE event. Upon receiving the news Council requested staff to meet with tourism stakeholders to determine the interest and financial commitments the industry would make toward the national televised event. Tourism stakeholders felt that the event, due to the television exposure provided for the destination, was still a valuable event for Niagara Falls. The Niagara Parks Commission (NPC), Fallsview BIA, Victoria Centre BIA, Fallsview Casino Resort and the Clifton Hill BIA confirmed their financial commitment for a 3 -year period. With this support from the stakeholders, Council budgeted $100,000 per year of the OPG funds for a 3 -year period (2005 -2007) to support the New Year's event. The NPC agreed, along with support from City staff, to coordinate the event in Queen Victoria Park. At a recent meeting with the funding partners, the group was reminded that the City's $100,000 annual contribution had come to an end. Upon discussing the future of the event, it was determined that the New Year's Eve Broadcast provided positive exposure and was an asset for the destination. Tourism stakeholders increased their financial support by $50,000 per year, but this still leaves a shortfall of $50,000 /year. The total minimum budget required for the event is approximately $400,000. ()Queen P0.

Staff was able to secure enough sponsorship funds to cover all the costs associated with the Live Broadcast without having to utilize the $150,000. The funds are available to support another major media broadcast event. However; as the industry feels the NYE broadcast is important for the destination, staff recommends the $150,000 be reallocated to support the NYE event. The funds could be provided in yearly allotments of $50,000 in 2008, 2009 and 2010. As in the past, the event will be reviewed annually with all funding partners.

BACKGROUND: Nice ara cells CANADA On March 31, 2008 Council passed a motion to cancel its agreement with Local Authority Services Ltd. (LAS) for Closed Meeting investigator services. As a result, any Closed Meeting complaints would be processed by the de facto investigator under the legislation, the Ombudsman's Office. Since that time, three complaints regarding local meetings have been received by the Ombudsman's Office. The Frequently Asked Questions from the Ombudsman's website states the following: Will the Ombudsman notify the municipality or local board when a complaint is received? The Ombudsman's usual process is to document and confirm the details of a complaint, and then to contact the municipality or local board to advise them of the complaint and obtain information. If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, a formal investigation may be commenced. In the case of a formal investigation, the head of the municipality or local board will be notified. The writer was made aware by the investigator from the Ombudsman's Office that the files on all three complaints have been closed and formal investigations will not be launched. The Ombudsman's office does not issue details, in writing, to the municipality when a complaint file has been closed or informally resolved. The original complainant, whose identity is not divulged to the municipality, may receive a written response regarding the closing of the file. 4310 Queen Street, P.O.

Working Together to Serve Our Community PD- 2008 -54 1. That the Plan of Vacant Land Condominium be draft approved subject to the conditions in the attached Appendix. 2. That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as "approved" 20 days after notice of Council's decision has been given as required by the Planning Act, provided no appeals of the decision have been lodged. 3. That draft approval be given for three years, after which approval will lapse unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council. 4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the condominium agreement and any required documents to allow for the future registration of the condominium when all matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. The applicant proposes to register a Vacant Land Condominium over the 12.35 hectare (30.52 acre) site to create vacant units (ie. lots) for the future construction of 85 single detached dwellings, 35 townhouse dwelling units and an apartment building containing 150 units. The property is located on the east side of Drummond Road, south of McLeod Road and the Hydro One transmission corridor (see Schedule 1). The proposed plan layout is illustrated on Schedule 2. The development is integrated with the existing Thundering Waters Golf Course. The plan of condominium subdivision will permit the individual ownership of each unit of L nd ;in` the development with the private roadways and some landscaped /open spa s shared by the condominium corporation. P.O. Box 1023, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada L2.E 6X5 905- 356 7521 wwwniagarafalls.ca Community Services Department Planning Development June 9, 2008 2 PD- 2008 -54 Planning Process This development has proceeded through previous planning approvals and consultation with the public. A neighbourhood meeting was held by the developer in August 2007 to inform area property owners about the proposal. A public meeting under the Planning Act was conducted before Council in September 2007 for requested changes to the City's Official Plan and Zoning By -law. Council adopted Official Plan Amendment No. 77 and passed Zoning By -law No. 2007 -236 on November 12, 2007 to implement the land use regulations for this proposal. Notice was circulated to area residents, interested individuals and agencies no appeals were filed. The Official Plan designates the subject land Residential Special Policy Area "53" which includes policies for tree protection and industrial compatibility. Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended by site specific By -law No. 2007 -236, zones the various portions of the land Residential Single Family 1 D Density (R1 D(H) -804), Residential Mixed (R3(H) -805), Residential Apartment 5F Density (R5F(H) -806) and Environmental Protection Area (EPA 807). This zoning provides the development standards for the use of the land and the protection of trees. The Holding (H) symbol that applies to the land requires the owner to submit a further assessment of industrial operations in the vicinity and a noise and vibration analysis. These reports are to be approved by the Region and City with mitigation measures implemented through the condominium and /or site plan agreement. Public hearings before the City's Committee of Adjustment were held in December 2007 for consent and variance applications. Approval was granted to separate the residential land from the golf course and establish roadway and servicing access easements as well as certain minor variances to the golf course zoning. There were no objections received from area residents. The vacant land condominium process divides property into "units" of land which are sold much like Tots or blocks in a typical plan of subdivision and Building Permits can then be issued. This process eliminates the need for site plan approval. However, the future apartment will require approval of a site plan and a further standard condominium application to create the individual apartment units for sale. This application was submitted to the City prior to new Planning Act regulations (effective January 2007), therefore, there is no requirement for a public meeting for the vacant land condominium. Conditions of Approval There are site specific issues to be addressed through the condominium application. Approval of plans for servicing, grading /drainage, the private roadways and another bridge crossing of the municipal drainage channel are required. Landscaping /fencing plans as well as a tree saving plan are to be approved. Conservation easements for the additional protection of treed areas in rear yards of the units at the north boundary and along Drummond Road are to be created. The approval of the roadway dimensions and designation of a fire access route through the development are needed (parking restrictions are possible in some locations). A sidewalk is required along Drummond Road abutting the site. The future construction of the dwelling units must satisfy zoning regulations. A condition of approval for cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication is requested to be included in the condominium agreement. June 9, 2008 3 PD- 2008 -54 The Region requests a condition for the implementation of mitigation measures related to industrial compatibility requirements specified in the Official Plan policies and Zoning By- law. Servicing and stormwater management issues must be addressed. A tree saving plan is also needed. Regional waste collection requirements must be satisfied or private waste collection will be provided for the development. Hydro One has requested standard conditions as the development abuts their transmission corridor. Canada Post and Bell Canada have requested typical conditions of approval. CONCLUSION: The proposed Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium will allow the separate ownership of the land units for the construction of dwellings in the future. The conditions of approval are listed in the Appendix.
