Falls native wins Emmy for wizard film
Updated 20 days ago
He works for the Disney Channel. He made a movie with Selena Gomez. Over the weekend, he even won an
Emmy.
If Kevin Lafferty keeps it up, his own kids might watch his movies soon.
« Back
"They think it's very interesting, what I do," says the former Niagara Falls resident about his three kids, ages 9, 6
and 3. "But they actually don't watch any of the shows that 1 work on. It's one of those ironic things.
"It's funny, all of my friends' kids go, 'You know Selena Gomez? You know the Jonas Brothers ?' But my own
kids ... maybe they just get tired of hearing me talk about it."
They might have to listen to him some more after Lafferty, now living in Toronto, took home his first Emmy
Award Saturday night. Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, which he executive produced, nabbed the award
for Outstanding C h i l d r e n 's Program during the Creative Arts portion of the awards. The regular Prime Time
awards will be broadcast Sunday on NBC.
The ambitious $8- million movie, filmed in Puerto Rico, is based on the Disney Channel show, which it competed
against for the Emmy. In essence, it was "Wizards versus Wizards," says Laff erty.
He figured the show would trump the movie, and didn't dwell on the awards too much. He was filming a pilot for
the SyFy Channel Saturday when a flurry of text messages started arriving: Wizards won ... and it was the one
he worked on.
"I didn't really have my hopes up, and then when I won it felt very surreal," he says. "I started to get texts from all
my friends ... then one of the cast members sent me a photo which showed all the cast on stage, and you could
see the jumbotron with my name on it. Up to that point, I just felt like, 'It's good to say you were nominated.' But
now it's like, 'I'm actually going to have one of those pointy statues in my house. "'
The former Loretto and Saint Paul High School student didn't set out to produce family films, but once they fell in
his lap he realized it was an under appreciated genre.
Filmmakers weren't content with the kids will watch anything attitude — shows like Wizards of Waverly Place,
Camp Rock and Twitches Too treated them to first -rate production values and stories that didn't insult their
intelligence.
"The Disney Channel people have been putting an enormous amount of thought into what kids want to see, and
what is actually good entertainment for kids," he says. "Not in kind of a plastic, boring way, but what resonates
with kids.
"They're the envy of the industry right now. Nobody else makes TV movies the way they do right now. They don't
get much street credibility because they're considered to be kids movies, but I'd hold up any of the movies I've
made for them against any other TV movies."
Besides the quality, kids movies keep him young. Doing the math, he's surprised to realize he has been in the
business for 22 years already.
"But I still feel like the youngest guy in the room."

RE: Weightman Bridge Rehabilitation Project
Proposed Project Scope Extension - Main St. /Cummington Sq.
The Weightman Bridge Rehabilitation Project is proceeding on schedule and on budget.
Although there has been some inconvenience to local businesses there are no questions that the repairs
to the structure are needed. The project included shutting the bridge to all vehicular traffic for about
four days to allow the new concrete deck on the south side of the structure to set properly earlier this
Summer. A similar closure for the north side will occur later this Fall.
Throughout this project staff have been working with the local businesses to mitigate the
impacts of the dust, noise and vibration associated with the construction where possible. The current
contract for this project is expected to be completed by early December.
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform Council of our intention to extend the scope
of the work to include new water service connections, curb and sidewalk repairs and asphalt paving
from the east side of the Bridge through the intersection at Main Street and Cummington Square. The
rationale for extending the scope of the work is as follows;
This infrastructure has deteriorated significantly and would require consideration for
inclusion in the 2011 Capital Works Budget.
The contractor, Rankin Construction Inc., is already on -site and have the capacity to
complete this work within the schedule approved for the Weightman Bridge Rehabilitation
work.
The business community has expressed concerns about impacts to their operations if they
are faced with more construction in front of their buildings again next year.
The additional works can be funded from unused contingency allowances and cost savings
from the Weightman Bridge Contract and Asphalt Overlay Contracts. The cost estimated
for the additional works is approximately $205,000.
Attached for your reference is a plan showing the area of the additional work and a copy of an email
from local business owner (Bruce Ward) indicating his support for the proposed extension.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact my office at your convenience.

where he acknowledged that the city has identified the poor existing conditions on the roadway and sidewalks in and around the
Square. He explained the scope of the work and the time -line to have it completed concurrently with the rebuilting of the
Weightman bridge.lt is certainly needed and will be much appreciated by the businesses in the Square and all the citizens of
Chippawa that use this roadway every day.I realize this will interrupt our lives a bit more but it will be great to get this done ASAP
and before the winter and bad weather sets in.On behalf of my 2 companies in the Square we look forward to the completion of
the work and the coperation of the city and it's staff to make travelling in Chippawa a little better for it's citizens.Again thanks

RE: Relief from the Noise by -law
The City's Noise By -law contains various Time & Activity Prohibitions. The playing of music and
the use of electronic devices incorporating amplification are restricted from between 9:00 p.m. and
9:00 a.m.
St. Michael's High School's Student Council is organizing an outdoor dance at the school on
September 23r The event is sanctioned by the school principal.
The dance will run until 10:00 p.m, one hour past the time restriction.
Staff feels that the activities will be enough of a distance away from residential homes that there
should be little to no impact.
Of course, if noise complaints occur, staff would recommend against future exemptions.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the request of the St. Michael's Student
Council to allow an exemption to the Noise By -law to permit their outdoor dance until 10:00
p.m. on September 23, 2010.

Subject: Re: STM Outdoor Dance
Hi Aaron:
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
You are correct that the City's noise by -law restricts noise after 9:00 p.m.
An exemption through Council is possible for events of this kind. Your e -mail should suffice and I will
bring this forward for Council's consideration.
Council's next meeting is September 20th. Nonetheless, I think based on the distance from nearby
residences, noise impacts should be minimal.
I will let you know of Council's decision after the 20th.
Thanks
Dean

Hello Mr. Iorfida.
The student council at Saint Michael is planning on hosting an outdoor dance on September 23rd in our
school's football field.
The event would run from around 6:00 until 10:OOPM.
As far as I know, there is a City by -law restricting noise after 9:OOPM.
For an event like this, as it would be noisy in nature, would we have to arrange to acquire a permit of
some sort?
If so, how would I be able to go about getting the process started and are there any fees involved?

RE: Free Bus Ride to the Polls Initiative
City election staff are proposing an initiative where riders on Niagara Transit who show their Voter
Notification Card (VNC) will get a free ride to the polls.
How it Would Work
Voter Notification Cards (VNCs) are issued for each elector on the Voters' List. It is anticipated that the
elector would be allowed to ride the bus to the polls simply by displaying the VNC. The VNC would be
turned over to Election Day staff at the poll (to minimize the potential for abuse, and monitor the volume of
use); and the elector would be issued a "pass" for the return ride from the poll.
Benefits
It is anticipated that this initiative will:
i) Encourages voter - turnout;
ii) Raise awareness of the election through publicity and advertising;
iii) Raise awareness of public transit; and expose residents that would not normally ride City buses
to the quality and extent of transit service;
iv) Reinforce the City's commitment to accessibility, as the majority of our buses and all of our voting
places are accessible;
v) Be seen to be a good, "Green," contribution, as it spares the air;
vi) vi) Enhances our role of civic responsibility, as it ensures that every voter has an opportunity to
reach the polls.
The General Manager of Transit, David Stuart, and Karl Dren, the Director of Transportation Services, are
supportive of the program. It should be noted, that Niagara Transit is already offering residents free use of
City buses on Friday, October 15, to commemorate their 50` Anniversary (which is one of the Advance Poll
dates), so there would be no additional cost to the Municipality on this day.
While it is difficult to forecast the extent of use, we see this as a valuable, pro- active initiative with little
downside.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the offer free bus rides to the polls, for the Advance
Polls (October 13 -16), and on Election Day (October 25), with the presentation of a Voter
Notification card.

To City Council,
This Thanksgiving weekend Community Artists Niagara (CAn), a local
Non - Profit Organization will be hosting the Niagara falls into Queen -
Harvest Market. We will be holding the affair on the front lawn of the
Niagara Falls City Hall. The event will bring together the local community
to celebrate and give thanks.
The weekend will be filled with busking street performances, locally crafted
treasures, fresh local foods, creative family activities and community
outreach. We will be hosting a food and clothing drive on site raising
awareness and receiving contributions to assist those less fortunate in our
community. The Harvest Market runs from Saturday October 9th until Monday
October 11th, each day between 11am and 5pm.
We at CAn are working very hard to make this event a great success by
bringing loads of patrons to the Queen St. core promoting our downtown. We
are a volunteer based organization with a modest budget and are requesting
that City Council waive the $325 fee payable to the City of Niagara Falls
for the space we will use to host the event. By receiving this assistance
in our first year, we will be able to dedicate more funds to expenses
associated with making this first event a big hit, a benefit that can carry
forward for years to come.
It is anticipated that our Harvest Market will bring in a crowd of not only
locals but also tourists coming to Niagara this fall. Once people
experience all that Queen St. Niagara Falls has to offer, they will wonder
why they did not visit sooner. We see this weekend as an opportunity to
promote the local arts, local businesses and a chance to support local
community based organizations such as Project Share while offering a fun and
artistic event to everyone that comes out.
Thank you kindly for your consideration,

Ontario Multifaith Council
The Ontario Multifaith Council on Spiritual and Religious Care (OMC) is a registered non - profit
charitable organization representing a wide -range of Faith groups in the province of Ontario. The
structure of our organization is 30 Faith groups with 185 Regional Multifaith Committee members
throughout Ontario which give support to our Vision and Mandate.
OMC is dedicated to working with the Ontario Government to promote and facilitate equal access to
adequate and appropriate Spiritual Care and Religious rights for persons in government operated/funded
institutions and organizations, in context with the Ontario Human Rights Code.
OMC initiates and organize an annual celebration of Spiritual and Religious Care Awareness Week
(SRCAW) which provides an opportunity to recognize the value of Spiritual and Religious service
providers of all Faiths who work in specialized settings such as, hospitals, long -term care facilities,
mental health centre and correctional facilities.
Although we are a provincially registered organization, SRCAW is celebrated throughout other provinces
such as New Brunswick where a declaration of support was made by Health Minister, Mary Schryer in
2009.
We are asking that consideration be given for SRCAW to be proclaimed throughout the mosaic of
Canada during the week of October 17 -23 this year. Spiritual and Religious care is supported through the
Human Rights Code in this beautiful and diverse country of ours and is accessible and observed
throughout Canada regardless of age, social standing or political affiliation.
It is our hope that your response to our request will be positive. If further information is required, we will
be most pleased to respond.

We thank you for taking part in our Ontario wide initiative last year in declaring English as a Second Language
Week during the week in which our annual conference took place. I am writing on behalf of TESL Ontario
(Teachers of English as a Second Language) to invite you to again take part in our Ontario wide initiative and
declare the week of October 24th to 30th, 2010 as "English as a Second Language Week ". Given the ever
growing diversity of the population of Ontario, we hope you will once more support our efforts and grant us this
request. in 2009, twenty -nine municipalities declared English as a Second Language Week and we hope that
this number will continue to grow, offering Ontario's ESL community recognition and an opportunity to celebrate
and expand its development.
For 37 years, TESL Ontario has held its Annual Conference to provide professional development for educators,
administrators, students and volunteers who work with immigrants, refugees, citizens, and visitors. This year, our
conference 'TWO SOLITUDES - Research and Teaching: A Collaborative Process" will be held October 28th to
30th, 2010 and we will be honoured if representatives of your council can participate.
Last year's TESL Ontario conference attracted 1600 registrants. Our members travel from across the province
and beyond to attend workshops, research symposia, our technology fair and publishers' displays. For many of
us, this annual journey to Toronto marks a time when we can share our experiences, expand our skills, and
reaffirm the positive contribution that our province makes to diversity.
Having established a set of criteria to ensure measurable quaiifications among ESL professionals, TESL Ontario,
a non - profit organization, ensures that training institutions offering teacher training meet the highest standards.
As we demand the best qualifications of our members, and the best in training from our teaching programs, we
offer the best in second language education to our students, who in turn, contribute a wealth of knowledge and

SUGGESTED WORDING OF PROCLAMATION
Ontario has been the destination of choice for many immigrants who have added to the
diversity of the province by bringing their culture, customs and language, even as they
endeavour to acquire the ability to communicate in English.
The community of English as a Second Language learners are represented in all aspects of
society. They are students in elementary and secondary schools, universities, colleges,
public and private schools, adult education students pursuing literacy and basic skills,
participants in workplace- training programs, researchers and subjects, volunteers and
workers, employees and business owners, labourers and professionals, neighbours and
friends.
The professional organisation Teachers of English as a Second Language (TESL) Ontario
hosts a conference in Toronto each year consisting of workshops, research symposia and a
technology fair to maintain and expand the skills and abilities of its members.
NOW THEREFORE, I, on behalf of of Council, do
hereby proclaim October 24th to 30th, 2010 as "English as a Second Language Week" in the
of
Office of the Mayor

Dear Mayor Salci,
October is "Toastmasters Month "and is acknowledged as such in many parts of the
world.
I am writing to request that the City of Niagara Falls proclaim October 2010, as
"Toastmasters Month" and that the proclamation be announced at a City Council
meeting and promoted on the City website.
Toastmasters International is a non - profit organization, which has been'teaching
valuable communication and leadership skills to people around the globe for over 85
years. There are currently over 250,000 members in 12,500 clubs in 106 countries.
There are two clubs in Niagara Falls, Honeymoon City and HatchMasters. Honeymoon
City Toastmasters has been an active member of the community for over eight years
and the home club of the inaugural District 86 Governor. Hatch International, an
important business in Niagara, has a specialized corporate club that serves its
employees in growing their communication skills.
Also, Niagara Falls will be the host city for the District 86 Toastmasters Fall Conference
that will take place November 19th to the 21S It will be the 3rd District Conference held
here in the last decade.
When council considers this proclamation would it be possible for someone from the two
local clubs to speak to its merits?
Thank you for your consideration and for your dedication to our community.
Sincerely,

Monthly Tax Receivables Report
RECOMMENDATION
That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property
tax receivables. During August the outstanding taxes decreased slightly compared to
2009. During August, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed have decreased from
38.9% in 2009 to 38.6% in 2010. Outstanding taxes as of August 30, 2010 were $20.1
million. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving 84% of properties
that are subject to registration for 2010. There are currently nineteen properties scheduled
for tax sale in the next two years.
BACKGROUND
This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff.
It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement.
ANALYSIS /RATIONALE
Tax collection for 2010 improved during the month of August. Table 1 shows that taxes
outstanding at August 30, 2010 are $20.1 million. This represents a slight decrease from
$20.5 million in arrears for the same period in 2009. Finance staff continues to actively
pursue property owners in arrears.
Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority
of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that
the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased slightly from a year
ago.
Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration.
These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1, 2010, 405
properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions
after eight months of activity. This table shows 84.5% of the tax accounts or 342
properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements.
During August, twelve accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with
suitable arrangements including full payments increased from 82.5% (July) to 84.5%
(August).
September 20, 2010 - 2 - F- 2010 -53
Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the
registration process and the associated costs related to that process.
Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the
future. During the month of August, six registered properties were redeemed and one
property was registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represent 2.6%
of the total outstanding taxes at month end.
FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that
stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to
its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to
municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at
August 30, 2010 is 38.6% which is a slight decrease from 2009's value of 38.9 %. The
municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset
the higher measure.

RECOMMENDATION
ANALYSIS /RATIONALE
Working Together to Serve Our Community
HK -ZU1 U -1 U
September 20, 2010
1. That the City of Niagara Falls award the Request for Proposal for the Consultant for
Customer Service Training to Seneca College.
2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Corporation is committed to providing the best possible service to the residents of the
City of Niagara Falls. In 2009, as part of the budget process, residents were surveyed and
provided input on the various City services. Also in November, 2009, the Corporation
conducted an employee satisfaction survey, in which approximately 70% of staff believed
that the City performed good and /or satisfactory service. While this result was a positive
result and relative strength in the survey, compared to other benchmarked municipalities,
the customer service measure was analyzed as an area for improvement.
In the past month, Human Resources has also been conducting employee focus groups
on organizational values where establishing and implementing a customer service culture
has been discussed.
Based on these findings and feedback, as well as the need for continuous improvement
and corporate training in Customer Service, Human Resources conducted an RFP for a
vender to provide customer service training.
In 2000, the City coordinated corporate training on Customer Service to all city staff.
However, during the last ten (10) years, there have been significant changes in the
workplace such as , technology, diversity, cultural, and demographic changes. Considering
these changes, the City recognizes the need for making continuous improvements around
customer service to ensure the delivery of services remain efficient and customer - friendly.
Corporate Services Departme
Human Resources
septemoer w, zu iv - -
The goal of the training is to establish a culture of servicing the public in a more efficient,
consistent, customer - friendly manner. Customer Service training would be delivered
through in class training sessions developed by Seneca College. The delivery of the
training would be done by both Seneca College and Human Resources.
In total, five (5) companies submitted proposals for the Customer Service RFP. From the
five (5), three (3) companies were short listed for interviews. The three (3) companies
interviewed included the following:
1. Seneca College $35,000.00 to $55,000.00
2. Contact Strategies $42,000.00 to $67,000.00
3. DDI Inc. $200,000.00 to $300,000.00
During the interview process, pricing was the not the sole determining factor for selecting
Seneca College. The Project Lead from Seneca College has done extensive work with
municipalities in Ontario. Most recently, having done work with the City of Toronto, the
Town of Richmond Hill, the Town of Whitby as well as the Government of Ontario.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
Customer service training is aligned with Council's strategic priority to monitor and improve
the efficiency, service and excellence within the organization.
FINANCIAL / STAFFING IMPLICATIONS
The cost of up to $55,000 has been accounted for in the Human Resources corporate
training budget. This training will be provided to all staff and facilitated by external /internal
trainers. It is anticipated that the corporate training will be scheduled in phases for all
departments and conducted over a period of up to six months starting in October, 2010 into
the spring of 2011.
SUMMARY CONCLUSION
The proposed vendor has submitted a reasonable financial proposal and has the
necessary experience /qualifications to facilitate the corporate training, which will help to
assist the City in improving the customer service culture within the Corporation.

ANALYSIS /RATIONALE
MW- 2010 -59
September 20, 2010
After reviewing all tender specifications, it was found that the lowest bid from Metro
Freightliner did not meet tender specifications due to the engine being under powered and
the location of the front axle required for proper weight distribution.
The second lowest bid from St. Catharines Truck and Trailer did not meet the
specifications because of the front axle position and gear differential rating.
The third lowest bid from Archer Truck Service met all the tender specifications and is
being recommended for acceptance as it is the lowest qualified bid.
September 20, 2010
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The funding for this purchase has been approved in the 2010 Capital Budget - Vehicle
Replacement Program.

September 20, 2010
1. That the City of Niagara Falls award the Request for Proposal for the Claims
Adjustment Services to Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. The proposal request
is for a four year period.
2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreement.
In July 2010, the City issued a Request for Proposal for Claims Adjustment Services. The
City is seeking a firm to act as the City's agent in investigating, negotiating, settling and
advising the City with respect to claims made both against the City and claims by the City
against third parties.
Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. currently provides the City's claim adjusting services.
Their contract will expire September 30. 2010.
After consideration of four proposals, the staff risk management team are of the opinion
that Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. is capable of successfully undertaking this project
and recommend that the four year contract be awarded to their firm.
The claims adjustment services is the second of three services we are examining as
part of the comprehensive review of our insurance coverage.
At it's meeting on July 19, 2010 Council authorized the engagement of a consultant to
help conduct a risk assessment of our operations.
Since January 2000, the City has been receiving claims adjusting services in accordance
with the provisions of an agreement with Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. That
agreement will expire on September 30, 2010.
Staff prepared a Request for Proposal (P44 -2010) which closed on August 20, 2010. Four
companies responded to the RFP which was evaluated on the quality of the submission,
September 20, 2010 - 2 - MW -2010 -060
qualifications, experience, references and proposed fee structure.
The City received the following four proposals (listed alphabetically):
• Claimspro
► Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc.
► Cunningham & Lindsey
• McLarens Canada
ANALYSIS /RATIONALE
Each of the four respondents presented a professional and functional range of
adjusting services at comparable costs. Each also demonstrated satisfactory years of
experience and satisfactory links to specialized adjusting services. The cost factors
included the following:
.
all in hourly rate including all operating expenses;
adjusting telephone flat rate fee; and
consulting services with City Staff on an "as required" basis on a hourly rate.
The Review Committee comprised of Ken Beaman, Tom Mussari, Janet McQuay and
Geoff Holman identified Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. as the best submission as it
complied with all of the necessary requirements, had competitive rates and represented
the best value for the Corporation.
FINANCIAL /STAFFING IMPLICATIONS
The City of Niagara Falls has spent $87,028.66 (2007), $58,007.36 (2008) and $77,173.36
(2009) over the past three years. Since the proposed rates are comparable to the rates
we are currently paying it is expected that there will be a minimal impact on future budgets
assuring a similar number of claims each year.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
A claims adjusting services firm will continue to improve the effectiveness and efficiency
of the City's insurance program.

facade, improved signage and lighting. The rear of the building abuts the Sylvia Place
Market and the owner will improve the appearance of this area with a new loading dock
and facade. The improvement to the rear of the building will allow the owner to take
advantage of an additional $5,000 grant that is available under the current incentive
programs. The estimated costs of the front and rear facade improvement is $40,000 and
the owner is eligible for $15,000 of which the Region will provide $5,000. The net cost of
the facade improvements to the City will be $10,000.
September 20, 2010 - 2 - PD- 2010 -80
The eligible structural changes being proposed include a major upgrade of the electrical
system and indoor lighting, new drywall and plastering of the walls and ceiling. The total
cost of the structural items is estimated to be $26,750 and the owner would be eligible for
a maximum $10,000 grant.
As part of the grant approval process, the owners will be required to enter into an
agreement with the City.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The funding for the facade and building improvement application can come from the
existing Historic Drummondville CIP reserve. There is approximately $38,500 remaining
in the CIP reserve. It is staffs recommendation that sufficient reserve exists for programs
which can accommodate this application.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
The approval of the application complies with the City's strategic commitment in
implementing the financial incentive programs within the Historic Drummondville CIP and
will assist in the ongoing revitalization of the area.

City of Niagara Falls, Ontario

Residential Loan Program Application
RPL- 2010 -001, 4321 -4337 Queen Street
2030688 Ontario Ltd. (Historic Niagara)
RECOMMENDATION
2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the loan agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
PD- 2010 -77
1. That Council approve the Residential Loan Application by 2030688 Ontario Ltd.
(Historic Niagara) subject to satisfying the program requirements including the
entering into an agreement with the City and obtaining any required permits.
The residential loan that is being requested in this case is intended to rehabilitate older
residential apartments in the Downtown that have deteriorated and become unlivable. The
loans will assist in the renovation of the apartments for occupancy and encourage more
people to live in the Downtown area.
The City has received an application for funding assistance under the Residential Loan
Program for a property located along the north side of Queen Street. The apartment units
are located above the Mide Bistro Restaurant and the Community Artist Niagara Building.
This property is zoned CBD - Central Business District in the City's Zoning By -law 79 -200
which encourages residential development above the first floor of commercial uses. There
are a total of 20 apartment units and 19 units will be extensively renovated. The proposed
construction meets with the intent of the City's Residential Loan Incentive Program by
promoting the redevelopment of vacant underutilized space and encouraging the
revitalization of the Downtown area.
Under the Residential Loan Program, the applicant is eligible for an interest free loan. The
loan is calculated based on $20 per square foot of habitable floor space per unit up to a
fixed limit. The owner is entitled to 60% of the loan once 60% of the renovations are
complete. Likewise, when 80% and 100% of the works are complete, the applicant is
September 20, 2010 - 2 - PD- 2010 -77
entitled to that amount of the loan. The repayment of the loan begins one year following
completion of the project and is repaid over a 5 year period. The loan will be secured by
way of a mortgage registered on title. The amount of the no- interest loan being provided
in this case by the City is approximately $212,000.
All alterations or improvements made to the apartments will require building permits in
accordance with the Ontario Building Code. The approval of the residential loan and
issuance of building permits will allow the repair of a number of residential apartments that
are in desperate need of repair. There is extensive damage to many of the walls, ceilings
and windows. Upon inspection of the property, there was evidence of black mold and water
damage to many of the units.
A property search will be required on the property and the loan value must be Tess than the
assessed value to ensure it does not result in the existing debts exceeding the value of the
property.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
The application for funding assistance will help stimulate revitalization within the Downtown
area. The cost to the City for the loan will occur once the first portion of the loan is
provided to the applicant which is expected to be in late fall of 2010.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
As part of the residential loan program requirements, the property owner will be required
to demonstrate 25% equity in the property. The cost to the municipality will be the interest
foregone on the loan. It is estimated that this cost may be approximately $15,000. The
funding for this expense will be taken from the Downtown CIP Reserve. At present there
is a reserve of approximately $743,000 remaining with $235,000 available for interest
expense on CIP loans.

26CD -11- 2007 -04, Extension to Draft Plan Approval
Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium
2700 Mewburn Road
Applicant: Klein Building Company Limited (Kurt Klein)
That Council grant an extension to draft plan approval for the Plan of Vacant Land
Condominium on 2700 Mewburn Road until September 20, 2011.
The Plan of Vacant Land Condominium for 26 townhouse dwelling units was draft
approved on October 18, 2007. Draft approval expires on October 18, 2010. The
applicant has requested a one year extension to draft plan approval. The extension can
be supported to provide the developer additional time to market the units and to consider
any necessary design changes should a decision be made to build the Regional Police
Headquarters on the west side of Mewburn Road.
On October 18, 2007, the City approved a Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium for
2700 Mewburn Road (see Schedule 1). The plan proposes the division of the 0.98 hectare
parcel of land into vacant units for the future construction of 26 townhouse dwelling units.
The plan layout is illustrated on Schedule 2.
Draft approval for subdivision and condominium applications is typically given for three
years. Approval lapses after three years unless an extension is granted by Council as
permitted under the Planning Act.
The applicant has submitted a request for an extension to draft plan approval (see
attached letter). The extension has been requested for the following reasons:
Condominium market conditions do not currently indicate a strong demand for
additional units. The applicant hopes market conditions will continue to improve in
2011.
September 20, 2010 - 2 - PD- 2010 -82
•
A final decision on the location of the new Police Services Headquarters is pending.
A parcel on the west side of Mewburn Road across from the subject site has been
identified as a potential location for the Police Services Headquarters. The
applicant has noted that, if that parcel is selected, design modifications to the draft
plan may be required.
Staff have no objections to the extension. The design of the plan and the conditions of
draft approval that were imposed in 2007 still conform to City regulations. The extension
will provide the applicant with an additional opportunity to market the units. It will also
provide an opportunity for the applicant to consider design changes should the Police
Services Headquarters locate on the west side of Mewburn Road. If the design changes
are necessary, the applicant will need to apply to modify the draft approved Plan. The
extension will provide an opportunity to pursue a modification should it be necessary.

Dear Andrew,
Re: Draft Plan of Vacant Land Condominium
2700 Mewburn Road
City File: 26CD -11- 2007 -04
Owner: Klein Building Company Limited
August 13, 2010
Further to your letter dated July 12, 2010, this is to formally request a one year extension to the
above noted draft plan approval, pertaining to development of our site at 2700 Mewburn Road in
Niagara Fails.
As recently discussed, with the Planning Department, we are requesting this extension for the
following reasons:
1. Condominium market conditions do not currently indicate a strong demand for additional units.
Weakened demand brought about by the most recent recession resulted in postponement of
our plans to proceed with construction of condominium townhome units in 2008 and 2009.
Although the economy is now in a recovery mode, demand for new condominium units remains
soft. We are hopeful that market conditions will continue to Improve into 2011.
2. We are awaiting a final decision on the location of the Police Services Headouarters as it may
have a significant impact on our Plans.
We are aware that the lands immediately to the west of our property (on Mewburn Road) have
been identified as a potential location for the new Police Services Headquarters. if this site is
selected, it may be necessary for us to consider design modifications prior to commencement
of construction. We anticipate that a final decision regarding the location for the new
headquarters, which is expected sometime this year, will help to solidify our plans.
Enclosed are cheques to the City of Niagara Falls for $750.00 and to the Region for $500.00,
covering designated review fees.
Sincerely,
Kurt Klein
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Regional Development Services staff has reviewed the request for Extension of Draft Plan
Approval for the above noted draft plan of vacant land condominium which is currently set to
lapse on October 18, 2010. Regional staff offer the following Provincial and Regional comments
to assist the City in considering the proposed extension.
The plan was originally draft approved in 2007 to develop 26 townhouse units on a 0 979
hectare (2.42 acre) parcel of land on the east side of Mewbum Road. Based on the information
provided by the proponent a one -year extension is being requested in anticipation of market
condition Improvements and the potential need for a future modification to the draft plan should
the adjacent lands be redeveloped. At this time, there are no changes to the plan or conditions
of draft approval proposed
The plan continues to meet the intent of Provincial and Regional policy, which speak to new
residential development taking place in designated growth areas, efficiently using urban land,
infrastructure and public service facilities and providing for an appropriate range of housing
types and densities, including affordable housing, to meet the needs of current and future
residents,
Regional Development Services Technical Staff have reviewed the request for draft plan
extension and do not object to the extension. They advise that Condition 13 remains applicable
and that as previously noted in Regional comments dated August 29, 2007 Units 14 to 18 and 19
to 21, inclusive, are not able to receive Regional curbside waste collection unless the developer
provides proper collection pads or makes alternate private arrangements.
In conclusion, Regional Development Services staff has no objections to a one -year extension
of draft approval to its next scheduled anniversary date of October 16, 2011.
