Dear
City of Niagara Falls By-law No. 99-164, as amended, is "a By-law to provide for the licensing,
regulating and inspection of body-mb parlours, owners and operators nfbody-mb parlours and body
robbers at body-mb parlours." This By-law prohibits any person from operating, managing,
supervising, mnnin~ or controlling a body-mb parlo,~r or performing, offering or soliciting a body-
mb in a body-mb parlour anywhere ii1 the City wi~bu( first having obtained a licence from the
Municipality to do so.
The By-law defines "body-mb" to include the robbing, massaging, touching or stimulating of a
person's body. This is not the same as medical or therapeutic treatment given by a duly qualified
professional. A copy of the By-law may be obtained fi:om the Office of the City Clerk by attending

investigations by the Niagara Regional Police Service, providing reasonable grounds to believe that
body-mbs are being performed in the course of business at this location.
Please be advised that pursuant to the By-law the owner of the property may be charged with an
offence under the By-law. Upon conviction for such an offence, the ~0urt may impose a fine of up

period of up to two years.
You are requested to contact the undersigned by telephone or tn writing to advise of your position
and intentions with respect to this matter by Friday, August 17, 2001 at 4:30 p.m.

The 2000 Levy includes the final levy for Residential Classes whereas in 2001 we did not bill the
final Residential taxes until July 2000 due to the standardization of the tax bill as set out in
Ontario Regulations. The Commercial, Industrial, and Multi Residential Classes have not been
levied for the final tax bill for year 2001, due to capping provisions. In the year 2000 we
experienced a similar delay in billing due to Bill 79.

Re: F-2001-53 - 2001 Financial Update,
January 1 to June 30, 2001
F-2001-53
Ken Burden
Director of Finance
RECOMMENDATION:
For the information of the Corporate Services Committee.
BACKGROUND:
The 2001 Budget was prepared based on several assumptions. The assumptions were developed into
forecasts for revenues and expenses. The forecasts have been compared to actual results for the
period January 1 to June 30, 2001. Staff has prepared summaries for revenues and expenses which
show the comparison between the 2001 Budget, as proposed, and the 2001 and 2000 actual revenues
and expenditures for the six-month period. The comparison statements also show the percentage of
2001 budget and the pementage/dollar variance to the 2000 actual.
REVENUES
TAXATION: The Final levy for the uncapped classes was not issued in June 2001 as it was last
year. Staff previously reported that the new tax billing format caused the delay. The delay has
stalled the City's tax inflows and has increased the borrowing from the bank. City Council passed
a resolution to request the provincial government provide funding for the interest costs caused by
the borrowing. The 2000 Final levy for the uncapped classes is reported in comparison to the 2001
Interim levy; the difference in revenues shows the magnitude caused by this year's delay.
PENALTIES AND INTEREST ON TAXES: The increased income for 2001, versus 2000, was
caused by a reduction ($286,000) in 2000 from tax/penalty write-offs. This year's income is slightly
ahead of the 2001 budget projection of penalty and interest revenues.

August 13, 2001 - 2 - F-2001-53
PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXATION: Provincial regulations govern the weighted sharing of
payments in lieu of taxes paid to municipalities for tax exempt properties. The 2001 receipts are
significantly less than the 2000 comparison; the timing of the receipts are dependent upon the
discretion of the P.I.L. property owners. However, the provincial govermnent has issued new
regulations for electricity generating stations and right-of-way properties. These changes will delay
these revenues.
GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES: City Council approved the reporting requirements to obtain the
balance of the Community Reinvestment Fund for 2001. Staff will be submitting the required
reports and schedules as per provincial government's guideline.
LICENCES, PERMITS AND FEES: These revenues have decreased by $492,000 which reflects
the loss of Landfill Tipping fees and reduced Building/Conditional Permit income. The new Waste
Management Fee was included in this year's final tax billing, but due to the delayed billing, the new
revenue has also been delayed.
USER RENTALS and FEES: These revenues have increased slightly over 2000 as a result of the
increase in rates.
OTHERREVENUE: Some of the expected land and equipment saleshavebeenrealized. The2001
Budget included the use of Reserve Funds and Reserves. To date, $211,000 has been transferred
to fund Current Operating Expenditures. The Casino Niagara Compensatory payments have been
regularly received since their December/00 initiation. The Provincial Offences Act net revenues will
be received when the audit of the 2000 year-end is completed.
REVENUE SUMMARY: The revenue for the six-month period January 1 to June 30 is
approximately $25.6 million less for 2001 when compared to the revenues received in the same
period for 2000. This is true for user fee based revenues, but the greatest revenue decrease is due
to the delay in the billing of taxes and the receipt of payment-in-lieu revenues.
August 13, 2001 -3- F-2001-$3
EXPENSES
COMMUNITY SERVICES: Expenditures for 2001 are more than 2000 by approximately
$1,961,000. This difference resulted from the significant increases in Waste Management costs and
the expected inflationary and contractual adjustments.
CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR'S OFFICE, AGENCIES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS:
Expenditures for 2001 are more than 2000 by approximately $263,000. This difference resulted
from the planned increases in contributions for 2001.
CAO AND CORPORATE SERVICES: Expenses for 2001 are slightly more than 2000 by
approximately $87,000. This difference resulted from the expected inflationary and contractual
adjustments in administration and employee benefits expenses for 2001.
SALARIES, WAGES AND BENEFITS: For the first six months, total salaries and wages
mounted to $9,724,000 for 2001 compared to $ 9,988,000 for 2000. Benefit expenditures have
increased by $109,000 as was forecast in the 2001 Budget. The total budget for 2001 is $23.8
million, of which approximately 49 % has been spent for the six-month period.
DEBENTURE DEBT REPAYMENT: Principal and Interest Payments for 2001 to date total
$936,000 compared to $1,216,000 in 2000. New long-term financing, $2,422,000 was approved by
City Council on June 11,2001. The proceeds from the new debenture will be received in September
2001 and will be applied to approved Capital projects. The annual payments ($340,000) for the new
long- term financing should begin in the fall of this year.
EXPENSE SUMMARY: Total Expenditures compare favourably to the 2001 Budget for the period
January 1 to June 30, 2001. Changes in expenditures are attributable to the expected inflationary and
contractual adjustments and exceed the 2000 comparison by $2.3 million.

Re: F-2001-56 - Municipal Performance Measurement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
For the information of the Corporate Services Committee and that the information be posted to the
City's intemet site no later than September 30, 2001.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in the reporting year of 2000, all municipalities are required to provide the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing with information on the efficiency and effectiveness of service
delivery in the following nine core municipal service areas: garbage, water, sewage, transportation,
fire, police, local government, land use planning, and social services. The Municipal Performance
Measurement Program (MPMP) consists of 35 broad-level efficiency and effectiveness performance
measures. Municipalities submit their year 2000 performance measurement data through the
Ministry's Financial Information Return.
In addition, in response to concems raised by many municipalities regarding the actual measures
being proposed under the MPMP, on June 18, 2001 the Minister announced a reduction in the
number of performance measures that must be reported to the public from 35 to only 16 measures.
The public reporting deadline was also delayed to September 30th. Municipalities were pleased with
the reduction in measures to be reported to the public since the measures which are no longer
required to be reported publicly were believed to be inappropriate and potentially misleading.

Re: F-2001-57 - Property Assessment and Tax Impact
RECOMMENDATION:
For the information of the Corporate Services Committee.
BACKGROUND:
Prior to 1969, the property assessment function was the responsibility of municipalities. The
Provincial Government then decided to centralize the assessment function and to implement
assessment reform. When the Province examined the effect that a Market Value Assessment System
would have on municipal taxation, the decision was made to implement Market Value Assessment
only at the request of a municipality. The City of Niagara Falls requested that Market Value
Assessment be implemented in 1984. In 1996, Market Value Assessment was implemented in the
RegionofNiagara. In 1998,theProvinceofOntarioimplementedtheCurrentValueMarketSystem
for all of Ontario.
Prior to 1998, legislation set residential mill rates at 85% of commercial mill rates. The Assessment
system also maintained the tax burden within the commercial and residential assessment classes.
When an assessment update was prepared, the update only redistributed the tax burden within the
class according to the assessment assigned to each individual property.
With the implementation of Current Value Assessment in 1998, provisions were made for regional
governments to transfer the tax burden between classes. The Province provided the Region of
Niagara with Transition Ratios that maintained the existing tax burden. A second set oftheoretical
tax ratios was also provided, called the Range of Fairness Tax Ratios. These ratios were a guide to
change the tax burdens. In Niagara, there was insufficient time to determine the effect of moving
from the1998 Transition Ratios towards the Range of Fairness Tax Ratios. The Transition Ratios
were adopted for calculating taxes. The Province froze tax ratios in 1998 in order to implement the
10-5-5 program which provided relief to taxpayers that experienced large tax increases.

August 13,2001 - 2 - F-2001-57
The Region of Niagara has prepared the attached booklet called "Understanding Regional Tax
Policies 1998-2001". This booklet provides a review of property assessment and tax issues including
recently enacted legislation that affects property assessment and taxation. Section V provides a
summary of legislation that detennines taxation for 2001 and sets out the Regional Property Tax Plan
for the years 2001 to 2004.
Staff has prepared graphs that compare the taxable assessment and tax levy by assessment class for
the years 2000 and 2001. Members of the Committee will note the following:
1) ResidentialAssessmentdecreasedby2.1%(69.7%to67.6%);thecorrespondingtax levy
decreased by .7%( 47.0% to 46.3%)
2) Multi-residential Assessment decreased by .2% ( 3.2% to 3.0% ); the corresponding tax
levy decreased by .7% ( 4.5% to 3.8% )
3)
Commercial Assessment increased by 3.1% ( 23.7% to 26.8% ); the corresponding levy
increased by 4.6% ( 39.0% to 43.6%) ( based on the 2000 tax to assessment ratio the tax
increase would have been 5.1%)
4) Industrial Assessment decreased by .7% ( 2.0% to 1.3% ); thc corresponding levy
decreased by 2.7% ( 6.5% to 3.8% )
5) Large Industrial Assessment decreased by .1% ( .6% to .5% ); the corresponding levy
decreased by .6% ( 2.2% to 1.6% )
The tax impacts shown above reflect the Region's Property Tax Plan. If the "Range of Fairness"
Tax Ratios as determined by the Province had been implemented for 2001 taxation, Residential Tax
Rates would have experienced an increase of approximately 20% over the 2001 actual rates.

Dear Dean:
The Fourth Annual Club Italia Elimination Draw and Dinner will be held on the evening of
Wednesday, October 3,2001 at Club Italia with proceeds to benefit the United Way.
The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls has generously provided its support in past years by
purchasing 10 tickets at the price of $50 per ticket and we are asking once again that you consider
promoting this very worthy event.
Last year we raised almost $15,000 for the United Way, which was approximately a twenty percent
increase over the amount raised the year before and this is directly as a result of community-minded
groups like yours who are able to come out and enjoy an evening ofeamaraderie.
Please let me know at your earliest opportunity what the decision is at the City as far as attendance
and we will reserve tickets for you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly,

Dear Mayor or Reeve and Council;
July 24, 2001
My name is Texas MacDonald and Iin8 Reeve of Baldwin Township. I have been
on council 17 years in total since 1976. I am also a fisherman and hunter and have been in the
outfitting business since 1972. When they canceled the spring bear hunt in January 1999 it took
away a good part of my livelihood. I asked most of the Municipality's in Ontario for verbal and
moral support and I received a large positive response. It didn't however get the bear hunt
back.
One good thin8 that came about as a result of the bear hunt being canceled, you always have to
try and look on the bright side, was the formation of a new National organization called COHA,
which is trying to unite all the people that FISH, HUNT, and TRAP across the Country.
IMAGINE TELLING your CHILDREN or grandchildren that you can't take them FISHING,
HUNTING or TRAPPING any longer. Misinformed animal fights activists are influencing our
legislators with nonsense and emotionally charged ~tatements that are protesting our fight to
spend time with our families huntin8 fishing and trappin8. We have to stop this insanity before
it spreads. We need to ensure our leaders deal with facts, not propaganda. The best way to do
this is with your commitment, your passion and your financial support. We need to count on
you - now, Hunters, anglers and trappers are the real CONSEVEKATIONISTS and we always
have been. Animal rights activists show very little regard for the repercussions their actions
cause. They aren't concerned at all about naturally controllin8 animal population. They don't
care that their actions circumvent the chain of life of which hunters anglers and trappers are a
natural part of and worst of all, their polices risk creating disasters from which we may never
recover.
As a part of municipal council for many years, I fully realize the cutbacks and the shortages of
money and also how little our voice gets heard where it counts, I also see the devastating effects
of the spring bear hunt cancellation: many towns and cites overrun with bears and the
responsibility and costs passed onto the municipality. I'm very hopeful that after reading this
letter you can find it in your heart to join up with us, as a council and/or as an individual
member, or to make a donation, and also pass it on to people that care about the future of their
children and grandchildren,
Sincerely

Attention: Mr. William Clark, BA, Senior Zoning Administrator &
Mr. Ken Mech, Planner 2, Official Plan & Zoning By-laws
Dear Mr. Clark & Mr. Mech:
I would like to thank you for your assistance in resolving the zoning issue we are facing regarding
the Donald L. Reilly Centre at 3470 Sinnick~ Avenue.
As you know, there is significant need for a children's respite program in this area. Currently, the
only alternative is a similar program located in Grimsby, and this facility has limited capacity. It
is our hope to have the necessary renovations completed, and the program operating in Niagara
Falls by September 2001. Although we recognize the need to ensure that all facilities meet the
necessary zoning bylaws, we trust that you understand our need to bring the zoning issue to a
quick resolution.
We would also like to inquire if the City of Niagara Falls would consider waiving all or part of
the application fee required in processing this amendment. As with the majority of nonprofit
organizations, we operate under a very strict budget. Unfortunately, from past conversations we
had understood that we did not need to undergo this process, and therefore did not include this
expenditure in the program's budget. Your understanding and consideration in this matter would
be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Maintenance coordinator

Dear Sir,
I am presently in the final weeks of training before the FISA Word Masters Rowing
Championships, in Montreal - August 30m to September 2nd, 2001.
This event is taking place on the 1976 Olympic course. There is a large entry
expected, including many former Olympic athletes, who competed 25 years ago on
that very course. The competition will be of a high calibre, and I have prepared
carefully for it. I expect to meet many of my former opponents there, whom !
competed against in the late 1970's and early 1980's when I was a member of the Great
Britain National and Olympic Team. In fact, it is through rowing that ! met my wife,
formerly Monika Draeger, who competed in Montreal herself...that I now find myself
living in Niagara Falls, and actually a City employee.
To date this year, I have already won the Dominion Day Cup (July 1 st, Centre Island,
Toronto); the CORA Championship, the St. Catharines Invitational and the Ontario
Championship, all in the Masters' C Single Event.
The cost of taking time off work, transportation to and from Montreal for myself and
my boat, accommodation for the 5 nights there and miscellaneous other items, I expect
to be over $1000.00. Masters rowing, not being an Olympic event, receives no other
funding.
I am writing you to inquire as to the possibility of receiving some funding from the
City of Niagara Falls, to offset some my expenses. Your attention would be much
appreciated.
Yours truly,
Colin Seymour
