NEW BUSINESS F-2013-11 Niagarraaalls January 22, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-11 Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Funding RECOMMENDATION That Council approve a funding commitment of $125,000 per year for hosting the 2014 FCM convention. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff are requesting approval of a new budget item in the 2013 Operational Budget as well as inclusion in 2014. The expenditure amount of $125,000 is required each year. This report and motion are required to finalize the hosting agreement and planning for the event. BACKGROUND In 2010, the Region of Niagara was awarded the hosting rights for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) convention to be held in Niagara Falls in May 2014. The convention will bring significant numbers of members to the City for the duration of the convention. The Region of Niagara is partnering with the City to host this event with the City of Niagara Falls. The Region has informed staff that the Region's contribution towards hosting has been approved and are seeking the City's confirmation of funding commitment so that the hosting agreement can be signed and that final plans for the event can be completed. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS A provision of $125,000 has been included in the 2013 Budget, with the intention of a similar amount in the 2014 budget for the City's contribution to hosting of this event. Recommended by: Todd Harrison, Director of Finance Respectfully submitted: Ken To , Chief Administrative Officer F-2013-09 Niagarapalls January 22, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-09 2013 Permissive Grants RECOMMENDATION 1 . That Council commit to eliminating all permissive grants, in this term of Council and provide transition funding to the existing groups. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During the 2010 Budget process, Council approved a change in the permissive grant funding. This change differentiated between agencies that receive a fee for service and those agencies receiving grants. The distinction made between funding arrangements is that fee for service agencies are providing services that are considered a "core municipal responsibility" while agencies receiving grants are not considered core services. In previous years, staff have recommended that the permissive grants be eliminated. This report is recommending the same strategy. The justification for this strategy is that the municipality should be funding only core municipal responsibilities. To mitigate the immediate impact, staff are recommending that transitioning funding be provided for 2013 and 2014 to the existing groups. These groups should be directed to search for other sources of funding from other levels of government, the Niagara Community Foundation, Holdco or Sleep Cheap. The recommendation for 2013 is to provide transitional funding of$11 ,893 to the previous years recipients. In addtion,staff recommend that transitional funding be provided for 2014 of $5,948 to the same groups to ensure each group has adequate opportunity to seek alternative funding. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has had a history of providing financial support to its community groups. In 2009, all groups receiving funding assistance were classified as receiving grants, however, during the 2010 budget deliberations, Council approved the separation of funding classification for these groups. The two categories were differentiated as groups that received funding as a grant and those that provided services for a fee. The distinction between the groups was based on the concept that the fees for service agencies provided a core service to the city that is a municipal responsibility, while those groups receiving grants are not providing a service that is a core municipal responsibility. January 22, 2013 -2 - F-2013-09 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE All of the groups previously seeking funding were asked to submit grant applications for the 2013 Budget. All groups listed in the report complied. Staff recognize the importance of these organizations in providing these services, however the services provided are not within the City's core service responsibility. Staff's responsibility in recommending budget expenditures is to ensure that City taxpayers are funding activities that are the responsibility of the Corporation and not those of other levels of government or that should be funded by other sources. In fact this is one of the strategic initiatives adopted by this Council. Council has asked in past budget deliberations, that staff provide a recommendation regarding the current budget expenditure on grants. As has been indicated, the City is facing significant budget challenges and as a result is reviewing all expenditures to ensure that spending priorities are aligned with the City's core responsibilities. Again, while Staff recognizes the achievements that these groups make to the community,these services are not a municipal responsibility. As a result, staff recommends that grants be eliminated and that transitional funding be provided to the existing groups for the remaining term of this Council. The Community Artists Niagara Group has submitted a request for a grant of $30,000. Since staff are recommending that the grant program be eliminated, this grant request is being denied. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff recognize the hardship the elimination of grants will be on groups. As a result, staff recommend that the elimination of funding be implemented over the remaining term of Council. The elimination of the expenditure will result in an additional savings in 2013 of $5,948. The annual impact on each group is shown in Chart 1 . There are other sources of "non-tax" funding that may be available from other organizations or other levels of government such as Niagara Community Foundation, Holdco and Sleep Cheap.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-10 2013 Fee for Service RECOMMENDATION 1 . That Council approve the 2013 funding for the Fee for Service agencies of $2,590,471 . 2. That staff develop formal agreements with each agency before the commencement of the 2014 Budget deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls has engaged agencies to provide direct services on its behalf for residents of the City. The services provided by these agencies have been determined to be within the core responsibility of the municipality and these relationships provide the city with an effective model of service delivery. The agencies included in this category will receive $2,590,471 in 2013 as compared to $2,400,256 in 2012. Two agencies require increases, firstly, the Niagara District Airport Commission has increased from $94,588 to $96,101 . This amount is established by the contractual agreement between the three municipal funding partners, the City of Niagara Falls, the City of St. Catharines and Town of Niagara on the Lake. Secondly, Chair a Van is seeking an increase due to the changes made to patient transportation for the new dialysis centre in the City. In previous years, the cost of transportation was funded by the Region since patients were transported to a surrounding municipality. However, in 2012, a dialysis centre was opened in the City, and as a result, the funding obligation is the City's. City staff have been engaged to develop agreements with each of the service providers. Senior staff members have been assigned to work with each group based on their area of responsibility. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has had a history of providing financial support to its community groups. In 2009, all groups receiving funding assistance were classified as receiving grants, however, during the 2010 budget deliberations, Council approved the separation of funding classification into two groups. These classifications were, agencies that received funding as a grant ( grant agencies) and those that provided services for a fee (fee for service agencies). January 22, 2013 -2 - F-2013-10 In preparation for the 2013 Budget, staff met with each of the groups in the fee for service to discuss their needs for 2013 and to discuss the future requirements of establishment of formal agreements. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The attached charts identify the of year over year funding amounts. The chart has been segmented into subgroups. The first chart shows the agencies that the municipality is obligated to fund due to legislative or contractual agreements. This subgroup includes Niagara Falls Humane Society, Niagara District Airport Commission and Niagara Falls Illumination Board. The second subgroup are agencies that the City is purchasing a service that otherwise would be a municipal service. The inclusion of each agency in this latter group has been previously approved by Council. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Niagara Falls Summer Swim Lessons group has been excluded this year as it is staff's recommendation that the service arrangement be discontinued. A report is being provided later tonight outlining the details of the review leading to this decision. Two groups require year over year increases. The Niagara District Airport Commission approved its budget in December with an increase to all of its municipal funding partners. The City is obligated to fund the request. The Chair A Van agency has asked for an increase of $201 ,527. This is due to change in funding obligation due to opening of a dialysis clinic in the City. In prior years, the service was funded by the Region since patients were transported to surrounding municipalities, but since the clinic has been opened in Niagara Falls, the costs of transportation is the responsibility of Chair A Van. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Financial stability of the Corporation and to ensure resources are focused on Core Programs and Services.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works Department SUBJECT: MW-2013-01 Cemetery Tent Rental Fee RECOMMENDATION That Council's policy regarding the Cemetery Tent Rental Fee be re-affirmed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At its meeting on November 27, 2012, City Council requested staff to report back on the current policy of providing a tent for interments at an additional cost to the public. Council approved a cemetery tent rental fee in 2010, when it adopted the recommendations set out in report PRC-2010-01 (see Attachment #1). The policy was subsequently implemented in March of that year. Prior to this date, the tent was a complimentary service. Although unpopular at the time, the tent fee has been accepted for the most part by the public and grieving families. There are some exceptions and two funeral homes have voiced their objection to the extra fee, as they also receive feedback from grieving families. The purpose of this report is to present the relevant background information for Council's consideration to continue the current policy. BACKGROUND Niagara Falls cemeteries operate, on average, at a $600,000 annual deficit. This shortfall is offset from property tax revenues as the current fees charged for the various services do not cover the annual operating costs. Staff continually network with other municipal cemeteries to compare fee schedules and best practices. Recently a survey was conducted with twelve municipalites. The tent service was one component of the survey. It was found that Niagara Falls was the only municipality that provided a complimentary tent. Other municipalities either charged a fee for a tent set up at the burial site, or did not provide a tent service at all. See attached survey results (Attachment #2). In 2012, staff conducted a comprehensive Cemetery Service Delivery Review which examined the current practices and identified opportunities for revenue generation and cost reductions to make this part of our operation less dependent on funding from the annual tax levy. This Review is currently being peer-reviewed by an external consultant to verify specific assumptions and operational needs. The Fee Schedule will be one component of this analysis. January 22, 2013 - 2 - MW-2013-01 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City historically has provided a tent for all adult interments and was included in the overall price of the interment. The City introduced the tent fee in 2010 and has generated $21 ,100 in revenue in less than three years. Quite often the weather conditions dictate the use of a tent and the cemetery office is contacted in the morning of the interment day requesting the tent service. The tent rental revenue is intended to cover the cost of replacing the tent every two to three years due to wear and tear. The replacement cost of the tent is approximately $12,000. The Cemetery Service Delivery Review will provide a comprehensive analysis of the cemetery fee structure, among other elements of the cemetery operation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The elimination of the tent fee will reduce the revenues generated by the City. This will reduce the revenues generated by the City. This will result in an increase in the operating deficit of the cemetery operations unless offset by increased fees on a different service. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained within this report are consistent with Council's strategic priorities to achieve financial sustainability and to continue to monitor the operation for opportunities to implement efficiencies and improved effectiveness.

Roberts/G.Holman PRC-2010-01 NiagaraFalls January 25, 2010 [A\1I)A REPORT TO: Councillor Carolynn loannoni, Chair and Members of Community Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario The recommendation(s) SUBMITTED BY: Parks, Recreation & Culture contained in this report were adopted in committee and SUBJECT: PRC-2010-01 ratified by City Council Proposed 2010 Cemetery Fee Schedule RECOMMENDATION 1 . That the 2010 Cemetery Fees be approved effective March 1, 2010. 2. That the 2010 Cemetery Fee Schedule be forwarded to the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations, Cemeteries Branch, for review and approval. 3. That staffs continue to review revenue opportunities and operating efficiencies of cemetery services in 2010; and that staff report back to Council on options and potential directions to further reduce the annual operating subsidy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The costs to operate the cemeteries are heavily subsidized by the tax payer annually. A proposed increase of 10% on all fees is recommended to offset the operating budget deficit. The estimated 2010 subsidy, as included in the draft General Purposes Budget is approximately $977,000. BACKGROUND The major source of revenue for the municipal cemeteries is derived from the sale of graves and interments, and the annual interest from the'care and maintenance fund'. The City cemeteries include Fairview (77 acres), Lundy's Lane(16 acres), Stamford Presbyterian (2 acres), Drummond Hill (4 acres) and Stamford Green Columbaria, in addition to sixteen semi-active and abandoned cemeteries (2.65 acres collectively). Overall, the annual cost to operate the cemeteries are heavily subsidized by the tax payer. On December 8, 2009 a meeting was held with a number of Niagara Falls funeral directors to outline and discuss the 2010 financial challenges of cemetery services. In particular the declining revenues achieved each year from the 'care and maintenance fund' due to the significant drop in interest rates, and the impact this has had on annual cemetery revenues was discussed. The recommended 2010 fee schedule includes an approximate increase of 10% on all Lot Sales, Opening and Closings and Surcharges. The proposed fee schedule is estimated, based on approximately 315 burials per year and 270 lot sales per year, to generate an increase in revenue of approximately $54,000 which is currently not included in the 2010 General Purposes Budget. Additionally, staff has also identified approximately $48,000 in additional reductions to the draft 2010 operating budget. January 25, 2010 -2 - PRC-2010-01 Applying both the estimated increased revenue and the reduction in expenses would adjust the estimated draft operating cemetery services budget to $875,000 (from $977,000). Included in the fee schedule is the elimination of the complimentary tent service for each full burial. Consistent with most cemeteries, there would be a fee of$200 for a tent to be provided as part of the burial service. Staff will also be completing a 2010 comparison with other municipal cemeteries including approximately twelve (12) municipal cemeteries within the Niagara Region and a number of municipal cemeteries outside the region including Oakville, Owen Sound and Chatham Kent. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The costs to operate the cemeteries are heavily subsidized by the tax payer annually. A proposed increase of 10% on all fees is estimated to provide additional revenues of about $54,000 and are recommended to offset the operating budget deficit. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT One of the seven (7) strategic priorities, identified in 2007 by Council, was to `identify and evaluate alternative sources of revenue'. Given the fiscal challenges faced in 2010 and what is anticipated in future years, a review of potential new revenue sources for Cemetery services was initiated in conjunction with the 2009 Budget.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2013-02 Summer Swim Lessons RECOMMENDATION That Council approve option two: Recreation & Culture Department to coordinate and implement Summer Swimming Lessons at City outdoor pools. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recreation & Culture staff is committed to provide directly or indirectly cost effective programming to the residents of Niagara Falls. For the past twenty plus years, lessons have been provided by the Niagara Falls Summer Swim Lesson Committee. Each Fall staff reviews the aquatic program and determines recommendations for the next year. There are four options for the provision of lessons at the City outdoor swimming pools: 1. Continue to have the Niagara Falls Summer Swim Lesson (NFSSL) Committee coordinate the summer swim lessons, hire the staff and run the lessons at the pools. 2. Have the City use their existing staff to co-ordinate Red Cross swimming lessons at the City pools. 3. Issue an RFP for outside agencies to implement Red Cross swimming lessons at the City's outdoor pools. 4. Promote and encourage the public to participate in swim lessons at the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club and suspend the provision of summer swim lessons at the City outdoor pool facilities. Staff recommends option two, that Recreation & Culture Department implement summer Red Cross Swimming lessons at the City outdoor pools, as well as the continuation of the Recreation Competitive Swim Team and Leadership Courses. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls, Recreation & Culture Department provides programming opportunities at the Coronation Centre and the Niagara Falls History Museum. The Department also supports non-municipal agencies and volunteers to develop and operate community leisure programming. January 22, 2013 -2 - R&C-2013-02 In the past, Cyanamid pool was the main seasonal pool in the City of Niagara Falls. The Wise Guys Charity group sponsored the Red Cross swimming lesson program implemented by the Niagara Falls Water Safety Instructors. This group ran lessons out of the Cyanamid Pool, the Boys and Girls Club pool, the YMCA on 4th Avenue and out of backyard pools for those who wished lessons for their children, operating under the philosophy that every child in Niagara Falls should have access to swimming lessons. When the Cyanamid Pool closed, the lessons relocated to Valley Way Pool, later to become the F.H. Leslie Pool. As new outdoor pools opened, E.E. Mitchelson Pool, then Prince Charles Pool and finally Lions Club Pool, lessons were implemented at all locations. With time, the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club opted out of the arrangements and ran their own lessons, still using the Red Cross program. The Wise Guys decided the organization could no longer support the program and the group evolved into the Niagara Falls Summer Swim Lessons Committee, asking for support from the City of Niagara Falls to continue to run lessons. The NFSSL Committee has now shrunk so that there are only three people involved in the administration of the lessons at this time. Even with support from the City of Niagara Falls, last year in the amount of$12,825, the lessons at the outdoor pools are among the most expensive in the region. To support the NFSSL Committee, the City has provided an office at the Gale Centre and storage space at City pools for lesson supplies. The City promotes the lessons in the spring/summer leisure guide and on the City's web site. Use of City pools and meeting rooms are provided free of charge for program registration with City staff responsible for pool maintenance. Staff recommends the City to coordinate the lessons as the public perceives the City is running the lessons as the office is located in a City building, and to provide a higher level of year round customer service. The majority of municipal recreation departments provide summer swim lessons at their outdoor pool facilities. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE City staff met with the NFSSL September 26, 2012, to review the past season and to inform the Committee the City was reviewing the fee for service arrangement. To receive funding the organization adheres to the following criteria: • Implement Red Cross learn to swim lessons at various outdoor pool locations throughout the summer months (July and August); • Offer competitive, comparable pricing for learn to swim lessons • Accessibility for all; • Screen all staff and volunteers; • Hire qualified staff; • Appropriate instructor to participant ratio, maximum of 1 :4-6 pre-school classes, 1 :6 30 min swim kids, 1:8-10 school age classes; • Provide end of season report including participant numbers and financials. Recreation & Culture staff recommends the swimming lesson provider remain the Canadian Red Cross Society. They have been providing swimming and water safety programs in Canada since 1946, offering more than 30 million Canadians an opportunity January 22, 2013 -3 - R&C-2013-02 to learn how to swim and safely enjoy water activities. Each year, more than 1 .2 million Canadians enrol in Red Cross Swimming and water safety programs and 17,000 are trained and certified as instructors and instructor trainers. Millions more are reached through public education campaigns that encourage everything from active supervision of children around water and the importance of life jacket use, to backyard pool safety and boating and ice safety. While the learn-to-swim market is competitive, including programs such as the YMCA, Lifesaving Society, "I Can Swim," and individual municipal programs, Red Cross has maintained a 78% share of the learn-to-swim market nationally. In Ontario, there are 376 seasonal Water Safety Training partners and the Ontario market saw a 18% increase in water safety participants in 2011 alone.

Committee members supported the new direction as the lessons would be provided at a lower cost to the public and the City would save $10,000. The YMCA and the Boys & Girls Club were approached by staff to inquire if they would be interested in submitting a proposal to coordinate summer swim lessons, option three. January 22, 2013 -4 - R&C-2013-02 The Niagara Falls Summer Swim Lesson Committee met with staff on Wednesday, November 28, 2012, to discuss future options for outdoor summer swim lessons at City outdoor pools. If the City coordinated the summer swim lessons, the NFSSL Committee would be encouraged to volunteer with the City to assist with the coordination and implementation of the lessons. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The City historically has provided fee for service funding in the amount of $12,825 for NFSSL to coordinate lessons at City pools. The NFSSL hires a Lesson coordinator, instructors and purchases lesson supplies with the funds. The majority of the swim lesson instructors are employed by the City as lifeguards. During the season of 2012 NFSSL registered a total of 417 children for swim lessons, total of 601 children participated in swim lessons summer of 2011 . The City currently has two Aquatic Supervisors working 35 hours per week during the summer. In order to accommodate the lessons, their schedules would need to expand to 40 hours per week to cover the hours. Many of the lifeguards, student unionized positions who have been working for the City is also Red Cross Water Safety instructors and could also teach lessons. More staff would have to be hired at the pools, but no lessons would be run unless the labour cost of the staff were covered by registration costs. Municipal Outdoor 2012 Summer Swim Lesson Fees Niagara Municipality 2012 Fee City Proposed 2013 Fee Niagara Falls (NFSSL) $50.00 - 30 min $35.00 - 30 min $55.00 - 45 min $38.00 - 45 min $60.00 - 60 min $41 .00 - 60 min Pelham $50.00 - 30 min $64.00 - 45 min $67.00 - 60 min St. Catharines $40.00 - 30 min $40.00 - 45 min $44.00 - 60 min Thorold (Thorold Activities Group) $45.00 - 30 min $50.00 - 45 min $60.00 - 60 min Welland $35.00 - 30 min $37.00 - 45 min $41.00 - 60 min With 3 -5 participants in the classes respectively, the material costs and staff wages are recovered. The summer outdoor pool lesson fee is competitive to other Niagara municipalities. As the philosophy of the program is to ensure every child in Niagara Falls has access to swimming lessons, lessons at a lower rate will hopefully increase the number of children participating in the learn to swim program. Hiring more staff to work at the January 22, 2013 -5 - R&C-2013-02 pools would also provide more opportunities for students to find summer employment. Additional staff costs would be covered by user fees with no additional costs to the City. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT As per the City's strategic commitment, the City implement community-serving aquatic facilities that offer programs for instruction, leadership, recreation/leisure, fitness, community level training and competition, and therapy.

Diodati And Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-08 Parking Rate Review RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the amended Parking Rate Stabilization Plan outlined below: 1) • That on-street parking rates in the business areas (Main Street/ Downtown) be adjusted by $0.25 cents per hour in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to bring the parking rate in line with the average rate charged in other municipalities in southern Ontario, to $1.50 per hour by 2015 • That on-street parking rates in the Hospital district be adjusted by $0.25 cents per hour in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to bring the parking rate in line with the average rate charged in other municipalities to $1.75 per hour by 2015 • That Chippawa receive an increase of $0.50 per hour in 2013 bringing the cost of parking to $1.00 (in line with the rest of the City of Niagara Falls) and following annual increases of$0.25 in 2014 and 2015 to bring the area in line with the Main Street / Downtown Business areas. • That on-street parking rates in the tourist districts (Clifton Hill / Victoria / Fallsview) receive an annual increase of $.50 per hour in 2013, 2014 and 2015 bringing the parking rate in line with the average rate charged in other municipalities in southern Ontario with tourist areas, to $3.00 per hour by 2015 • That all municipal parking lot rates be adjusted by $0.25 cents per hour in 2013 (with the exception of the Downtown area that will receive a $0.10 increase in 2013) followed by annual rate increases of $0.25 for 2014 and 2015. Maximum daily rates would be the equivalent cost of 5 hours of paid parking for 8 hours of use. • That municipal parking lot rates be implemented in the Main/Ferry area at a rate of$0.50 cents per hour for a 6-month introductory period and brought in line with the downtown rate by the fourth quarter of 2013. Monthly permits will be the same rate as the other business districts. • That monthly parking permit rates increase by $10.00 in 2013 and $10.00 every 2 years thereafter until it is equivalent of the value of an adult transit January 22, 2013 -2- TS-2013-08 pass. • That staff continue to review parking rates in 2015 and every 2 years there after to maintain a comparable rate as surrounding municipalities and continue to meet the needs of the Capital Infrastructure Program. 2) The 10-Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Action Plan be referred to the Parking Budget 3) Undertake a service delivery review of the Parking Control Operation. 4) Evaluate Cash-in-Lieu Policy/Program to determine it's viability. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At it's meeting of January 8, 2013, Council requested that staff provide further information regarding existing parking rates from municipalities outside the Niagara Region as listed in report TS-2013-02 and report back their findings. A survey of thirteen municipalities was conducted with a combination of cities of similar size and/or hosting a tourist designation. The average rate of on-street parking is $1.50 per hour in standard business areas and $3.00 per hour in tourist destinations. Monthly permit rates for municipalities that had municipal parking lots ranged from $47.00 to $120.00 per month based on demand and proximity to business cores. Based on the findings and keeping in consideration of current rates similar in the Niagara Region, staff recommend that on-street hourly parking rates be adjusted to $1.50 per hour in the business districts and $3.00 in the Clifton Hill / Victoria Fallsview tourist areas. To achieve this target within a reasonable application of rate adjustment, staff recommends three annual increases. Annual increases of$0.25 in the business areas and $0.50 in the tourist area to be implemented until 2015. The following chart demonstrate the rate changes per year required to reach the average rate of parking in the Southern Ontario. January 22, 2013 -3- TS-2013-08 On-street Parking Rates Year Main / Clifton Hill / Hospital Area Downtown Victoria / Chippawa* Fallsview (business (Tourist) core) Southern $1.50 $2.00 - $4.00 $1.50 - $2.00 Ontario Average Per hour Per hour Per hour current rate $0.75/ $0.50* $1.50 $1.00 2013 $1.00 $2.00 $1.25 2014 $1.25 $2.50 $1.50 2015 $1.50 $3.00 $1.75 In reviewing monthly municipal parking rates it was found that parking rates are based on parking demand in relation to proximity to municipal cores. A survey of municipalities revealed an average monthly parking rate of$48.00 with a max rate of$110.00 per month for enclosed parking garage structures. It is therefore recommended that monthly municipal permits be increased by$10.00 in 2013 for all monthly permits. Permits will then increase every 2 years at a value of $10.00 per interval to reach a max rate of $80.00 per month by 2022. This will align the cost for parking closer to the value of an adult transit pass and support the recommendations of the Transportation Master Plan. Rates presented would allow for Parking Operations to maintain self sustained funding free of tax support and fund all surface work and/or reconstruction of the parking assets as presented in the City Wide Parking Plan. BACKGROUND During the presentation of report TS-2013-02 City Wide Parking Review on January 8, 2013, staff requested that council approve rate increases in all aspects of parking based on the needs of the parking operation and maintaining the assets associated with parking. The rates presented where calculated according to the needs of the Parking Reserve Fund and the standard parking rate compared to surrounding municipalities. Council requested that staff survey a broader spectrum of parking rates in Southern Ontario to determine if the rates presented were in line with other municipalities. Staff contacted 13 communities in Southern Ontario requesting information on existing rates for on-street parking, municipal lot hourly rates and municipal lot monthly parking rates. The accumulated data resulted in staff determining the average on street parking rate in Southern Ontario is $1.50 per hour and municipal lot hourly rates ranging from $1.00 per hour to $2.00 per hour. Tourist destinations reported an almost double hourly rate in their tourist districts above the standard hourly rate, ranging from $2.00 to $4.00 per hour. Monthly permit rates ranged from $40.00 per month to a high of $110.00 per month January 22, 2013 -4- TS-2013-08 depending on the proximity of parking to business cores and type of parking available (surface lot vs structure) The average monthly parking permit was $48.00 per month. To best apply the comparable rate to the City of Niagara Falls, staff determined that spreading the rate adjustments over the next three years would best suit the needs of the community without affecting the public parking demand. The rates presented would bring the City of Niagara Falls in line with the surrounding communities and those of southern Ontario by 2015 and further review of rates would be conducted biannually as part of the Guiding Principles. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Without adjustments to the current parking rates, municipal parking assets in need of reconstruction/replacement without the supported funds,will lead to further degrading of the asset, as well as, the potential for increased public safety concern and City liability. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Parking rates in the City have not been adjusted since 2001 with the exception of off street rates increasing slightly in the Clifton Hill tourist core area in 2008. This has resulted in the depletion of funds for maintaining the operational needs of the parking system and keep up with inflating costs of resources. The yearly contribution to the reserve parking fund peaked in 2003 at$200,000.00 with a downward trend to its current level of$150,000 in 2010 which was used to offset increases to the tax base. This trend means that the Parking Operation will start to operate in the negative by 2014, require either tax supported money to operate or infrastructure reserves. It is Parking Operations goals to maintain an independent source of revenue to sustain operational needs and provide excess revenue back to the tax stream. Parking Rates in the City range from $0.50/hr to $1.50/hr for short term on street parking generally with a maximum duration of stay for two hours, from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Areas that differ from the above are the tourist areas which incorporate rates of $1.50 per hour, seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Monthly parking rates range from $25.00 to$30.00, excluding taxes. From a transportation demand perspective, it is desirable to have monthly parking rates the same level or higher than monthly transit pass costs (presently$70.00) in order to encourage public transit use. Rehabilitation of existing lots to provide safe and attractive public parking facilities are based on the Asset Management Plan implemented by the City in 2008. The cost to construct a surface parking space ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 per stall, therefore, a long range forecast on cost implications and the ability to continue to provide spaces during reconstruction must be taken into account. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, continue the parking operations user-pay philosophy through the development and implementation of a 10-Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program and Rate Stabilization Plan.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-02 City Wide Parking Review RECOMMENDATIONS 1) Approve the Rate Stabilization Plan as follows: • That all on-street parking rates be adjusted by $0.25 cents per hour in 2013 (with the exception of the Clifton Hill/Fallsview Tourist Districts which will increase by $0.50 cents per hour): • That in 2015 all on-street parking rates be adjusted by $0.10 cents per hour with the exception of the Niagara General Hospital area which will be increased by an additional $0.25 cents per hour; • That all municipal parking lot rates be adjusted by $0.10 cents per hour in 2013 (with the exception of the Clifton Hill Tourist area which will be increased by $0.25 cents per hour); • That municipal parking lot rates be implemented in the Main/Ferry area at a rate of$0.50 cents per hour with a monthly parking permit rate of$20.00 (as introductory rates and will align with the Downtown rates by 2016); • That monthly parking permit rates increase by$5.00 every 2 years beginning in 2013 to a maximum of $55.00 by the year 2022. 2) The 10-Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Action Plan be referred to the Parking Budget 3) Undertake a service delivery review of the Parking Control Operation. 4) Evaluate Cash-in-Lieu Policy/Program to determine it's viability. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the past several months, Staff have undertaken a City Wide Review of the Parking Operation. In 1966, The City of Niagara Falls established the Parking Reserve Fund, which is still in existence today. The Parking Reserve Fund was established as a self- sustaining fund, in which parking related expenditures are offset by revenues generated. The development of a ten-year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program has revealed leaving parking rates at their current levels (do nothing approach), will result in the need to supplement the parking operation with tax supported funds by 2014. Therefore staff reviewed the entire parking operation including current parking rates as compared to January 8, 2013 -2 - TS-2013-02 similar operations in the region. The program being recommended is fiscally responsible and will provide a sustainable solution that will maintain the user pay system. Staff recommends adjusting parking rates in the City of Niagara Falls to maintain parking as a self-sustaining practice, free of tax supported funds. Based on the current requirements to develop municipal assets such as parking lots at safe usability levels, the Parking Reserve Fund will be depleted and require tax supported funding by the year 2014. On October 11, 2012, Staff met with all affected BIA representatives to present the 10-year Parking Plan and provide an open discussion forum regarding the proposed adjustments to existing parking rates. The meeting attendee's were supportive of the proposal. The principles of the user pay philosophy for parking have been in place for more than 45 years. Since then not all costs associated with the parking operation have been captured. This plan captures all operating and capital costs related to the operation. On this basis the establishment of a stand alone parking budget would be best suited for this operation. The budget would then be dealt with separately from the General Purposes budget. Staff will engage in an assessment of all municipal parking lots to determine the viability of each lot in relation to BIA's impact, needs of the area, increase in business development and parking demand changes. The assessment will analyze property values along with revenue generation versus maintenance expenses. This would also include reviews to determine the need for parking lot acquisition to support the new WEGO Visitor Transportation System. With the above recommendations put into place, a parking control service delivery review will be initiated to determine the enforcement needs of the City of Niagara Falls. Changes to parking rates, continuing city development in both commercial and residential areas, impact parking enforcement requirements. The service delivery review will focus on ambassadorship, customer service, corporate values, area parking demands, turnover needs and hours of operation. BACKGROUND In 1966, the City of Niagara Falls established the Parking Reserve Fund, which is still in existence today. The Parking Reserve Fund was established to be a self-sustaining fund, in which expenditures are offset by revenues generated. The system is a true user pay system in which only those who use the parking services pay, meaning the general taxpayer does not contribute to the operational costs or fund in any way. All costs including administrative costs, associated with the daily operations are charged back or are directly attributable to the fund, thereby giving a true cost centre accounting approach to financing. In addition, surpluses or reserves in the fund are dedicated to the maintenance • and rehabilitation of the parking facilities (both on-street and off-street meters/machines and lots). January 8, 2013 -3 - TS-2013-02 Following the Status Quo Staff evaluated it's infrastructure over the next ten year period and without changes to the existing rate structure it would be unable to sustain its infrastructure needs.

Based on review of municipalities on both the surrounding areas as well as those of similar size comparison, staff recommended 10 Year Parking Plan to adjust rates that have been static since 2001 and bring them in line those municipalities of a similar size and nature. The new rates are projected to help continue the self sustaining parking operation and maintain the parking infrastructure that is requiring improvements to municipally owned parking lots as identified in the municipal assets review. The purpose is to maintain the operational needs of the service without increasing the burden to the existing tax base. Currently the cost of hourly parking varies based on the parking supply and demand of each area of the City of Niagara Falls ranging from $0.50 per hour in the Historic Drummondville district to $1.50 per hour in the tourist district. On-street parking rates of the surrounding municipalities range from $1.50 per hour in St. Catharines to $2.00 per hour in the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. St. Catharines increased its rates from $1.25 per hour to $1.50 per hour in January of 2012.

This singular adjustment will contribute considerably to base amounts that will allow the parking operations to meet its operational expenses over the next 10 years. The proposed rate adjustments fall in line with the municipal standards for parking in Southern Ontario and the Niagara Region. In areas that can support a more substantial adjustment such as the Clifton Hill Tourist District a $0.50 cent increase per hour is proposed bringing the rate of parking in this area to $2.00 per hour. The demand for parking in this area is extremely high and provides a high volume of turnover of motor vehicles. In meeting similar existing conditions as Niagara-on-the-Lake, Clifton Hill tourist district maintains a high demand on the limited available parking spaces provided during the peak season. This one time • increase of $0.50 per hour would provide a standard rate of$2.00 per hour for a maximum of two consecutive hours of parking. January 8, 2013 -5- TS-2013-02 Staff recommends that above the base $0.25 per hour increase proposed for 2013 that a secondary adjustment of $0.25 be implemented in the Niagara General Hospital area in 2015 to bring the cost of on street parking to $1.50 per hour with a maximum of two hour parking. This adjustment works toward matching the demand in this area and bringing fees closer line with services offered for off street parking in this location. Currently the Greater Niagara General Hospital offers parking at $3.00 per hour to a maximum of $6.00 for eight hours of parking. Even with this one time adjustment, the cost of service and supplies over the next few years will increase and the parking fund will see a financial concern once again in 2016. It is therefore recommended that a secondary minor adjustment of $0.10 per hour for all on-street meters be introduced to address this. This will bring the average cost of parking on street in the Downtown and Main Street business areas to $1.10 per hour and an average of $2.10 per hour in the Clifton Hill/ Fallsview tourist areas. $3.00 - $2.50 - $2.00 y - $1 .50 - Lrj 4*t�, $1 .00 GEC N p aw F .0 nr t 4IJ$050 'a $0.00 Proposed Adjustment to Metered areas - on-street parking Review of the metered area in the north east section of downtown Niagara Falls has identified that the single space meters are under utilized. Staff resources allocated for the maintenance and collection of meters are currently greater than the revenue generated by this area and observations identify that parking is not in demand by the public. It is recommended that the single space coin only meters be removed and the area be designated as having a two-hour time limit. The time limit would reduce staff time for maintenance including snow clearing and provide the required turnover availability currently in place within the rest of the downtown district. The following streets are proposed for the change to two hour time limit.

Street St. Clair north of Morrison to Huron Street is predominantly a residential area recommended that the bylaw be amended to "parking by permit only" designation. Permits of this type are provided free of charge to the residents and allow for visitor parking opportunities as well. This would reduce the overhead cost of the metered area while maintaining the accessibility of the residents to park without concern of a business area overflow. Changes to the above streets would not restrict the use of the area from those currently accessing these parking opportunities and provide a parking incentive for future developments of the area. Municipal Parking Lot Rate Adjustment Parking operation staff recommends that off street parking rates on all Municipal parking lots receive a singular adjustment of $0.10 cents an hour in 2013. This is a lower adjustment from the on-street parking as lots are designed to promote longer term parking opportunities. There are 18 Municipal parking lots within the City of Niagara Falls with more than 60% being located in the Downtown district. Municipal lots provide the public with a greater duration of parking as well as permit purchase opportunities in many surface lots. This allows businesses to provide parking opportunities for staff not otherwise provided by property owners. The current rate for off street parking is $0.65 per hour in lots in the downtown area, and $1.50 per hour in the tourist designated areas. An exception to the one time $0.10 adjustment is the Clifton Hill Tourist Area with a $0.25 cent singular adjustment in 2013. The city of Niagara falls maintains one municipal lot in the immediate proximity of Clifton Hill and due to the high demand of parking in this area the adjustment would not impact the usage and turnover of motorists looking for parking availability. Therefore, rates for municipal parking lots would increase to $1.75 per hour with a maximum parking duration of eight hours. Staff would still maintain the maximum day value of parking at $10.00 for eight hours of parking. The public wishing to utilize the municipal parking lot opportunities in a municipal lot would therefore receive a discounted rate of$.50 per hour by paying for the day. Staff recommends the introduction of paid parking to be implemented in the Main Street I Historic Drummondville district as recommended by the Drummondville Parking Study. As the area develops and projects such as the Niagara Falls Market and changes to the new Lundy's Lane Museum come into effect the demand on the parking infrastructure will increase. The newly introduced parking rates are to be established below the City standard but incorporate an accelerated rate adjustment over the 10- year projection to bring rates in line with the rest of Niagara Falls by 2022. The January 8, 2013 -8 - TS-2013-02 introduction of off street paid parking rates proposed at a rate of $0.50 per hour to provide incentives to the public to utilize off street parking as a primary vehicle resource. Adjustments to the rate would be at four year intervals bringing it in line with the Downtown Rates by 2016. Business owners and the Main/Ferry BIA expressed concerns regarding lack of parking in the main street area south of Peer Street. It is Parking Operations goal to track parking usage and demand for this area as development progresses and look for future parking expansion opportunities to address the parking demands in this area_ Municipal Parking Lot Monthly Permits Staff recommend that monthly parking permit rates be increased by $5.00 every two years beginning in 2013 to reach a maximum value of $55.00 by the year 2022. Municipal parking lots provide long term parking options for employees and business owners. Monthly parking permit rates currently range from 25.00 to 30.00 and in theory should fall in line with or above the average cost of a monthly adult transit pass. In doing so it promotes public transit as a viable alternative to parking reducing road congestion and decreases the Niagara Falls carbon footprint. The current rate for a adult transit pass is 70.00 per month. Municipal parking is recommending a soft increase to meet the potential of half the existing rate of a municipal transit pass by 2022 and an accelerated rate increase thereafter to bring the cost of permits in line with transit rates. In order to meet the needs of a successful transit master plan, parking requirements should not exceed 90% of the parking demand. Other municipalities of similar size such as Brantford offer off street monthly parking lot permits at a cost of 65.00 per month. St. Catharines currently offers off street monthly parking at a rate of $42.00 per month to a maximum of $87.00 and rates are in relation to lot demand and proximity to the downtown core areas. Parking Lot Viability Assessment Staff will be assessing all city owned parking lots to determine the viability of each lot. The review of the lots will take into consideration revenue and expenses as well as future factors of development. The review will take into account the following areas of interest: • Impact on the associated Business Improvement Association • needs of the area in relation to off street long term parking • future business development and demand forecast • parking demand changes and turnover needs for on-street • alternate off street private parking options for the public • revenue generation verse expenses to maintain January 8, 2013 -9- TS-2013-02 Initial Lot Viability and Assessment Chart LOT DESIGNATION LOCATION ASSESSMENT LOT #1 Zimmerman Ave & Park Lot fully leased - monthly Street permits.

January 8, 2013 - 11 - TS-2013-02 LOT #17 Morrison Street Permit lot - at full capacity. Recommendation: maintain LOT # 18 Kitchener Street Leased lot - under utilized by public. Recommendation: maintain lot but assess partial purchase of land to provide adequate parking for business support area. LOT # 19 City Hall Lot Heavily utilized. Recommendation: maintain LOT # 11 - Chippawa lot was acquired as an area benefit lot and is the only public parking lot in this district. Though under utilized, further study is recommended to assess the impact on the businesses and surrounding area if lot is removed as a parking asset. Lots #12, 13 and 14 in the Main Street, Hospital district, apply Drummonville Parking study recommendations of pay parking implementation to support area growth and land acquisition for future parking needs. Lot # 15 has a seasonal clientele permit base revenue and under utilized by the public as a pay by duration parking option. Lot requires extensive work to bring up to city standard and therefore may not be feasible to maintain based on overall expenses. It is recommended the lot be reviewed annually for determination if lot should be sold off. Lot assessment will also incorporate the need for long term visitor parking opportunities for the public on high commercial/tourist areas as well as relation to train and bus services. Review will take place to determine the acquisition of parking lots to support the new WEGO Visitor Transportation System. January 8, 2013 - 12 - TS-2013-02 Rate Stabilization Plan and 10 year Capital Infrastructure Program Chart illustrates the impacts of adopting the rate stabilization plan and 10 year Capital Infrastructure Program versus the do nothing approach Impact on Reserve Fund Balance $500,000 -$500,000 2013 201 15 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 -$1,000,000 -$1,500,000 -$2,000,000 -$2,500,000 -$3,000,000 -$3,500,000 - -¢-No Rate Adjustments Proposed Rate Adjustments Guiding Principals A set of guiding principles was established in order to ensure that the parking infrastructure is maintained. The User Pay system is based on the Guiding Principles of Parking Financial Plan • Ensure that the Municipal Parking System operates as a self-sustaining operation with no contributions from the tax base • Promote sustainability and encourage transit ridership, monthly parking rates should be at least the cost of an Adult monthly transit pass • In order to meet the needs of a successful transit master plan, parking requirements should not exceed 90% of the parking demand • A minimum of $300,000 should be maintained in the Parking Reserve Fund.* • Parking rates and parking fines should be reviewed on an annual basis through a rate review process with includes a comparison analysis of previous and current annual revenues and occupancy levels January 8, 2013 - 13 - TS-2013-02 • Contribute all of the annual net funds (after all debt services) to a special purpose reserve to maintain and replace assets • Financial forecasts should be reviewed annually and adjusted to meet the public demand on parking and continue to be in line with rates of surrounding municipalities. • Consider using development charge funds for the establishment of new parking facilities • BIA's requests for free parking requires that lost revenue to be offset by the associated BIA * - A minimum of$300,000.00 is required as a guiding principal to incorporate redevelopment and operational costs as well as provide a suitable buffer of funds to address any economic shifts that maybe be experienced. This amount would enable Parking Operations to maintain the parking structure without needing tax supported funds. Parking Control Demand Study Review Staff will commence a parking control service delivery review to determine the enforcement needs of the City of Niagara Falls. Changes to parking rates, may have an impact on areas as turnover needs increase/decrease or motorists look for alternate parking opportunities that have a direct impact residential neighbourhoods and local businesses. Continuing city developments in both commercial and residential areas such as the new Walmart plaza and Lowes expand enforcement areas in a wider demographic and call for a need to realign enforcement areas to provide the necessary safety coverage. The service delivery review will focus on ambassadorship, customer service, corporate values, area parking demands, turnover needs and hours of operation. Cash-in-Lieu Policy/Program The Cash-in-Lieu policy was established in 1973 and was updated in 1991 and 2001 . The purpose of having a cash-in-lieu policy is to provide an opportunity for relief from the parking requirements of the City's zoning by-laws related to development and re- development There are four areas/districts that are eligible for cash-in-lieu relief being: the Downtown, Chippawa, Clifton HillNictoria/Centre and Main/Ferry. Based on recent decisions the Clifton HillNictoria/Centre would no longer benefit from the cash-in-lieu program. Staff will undertake a review of the policy to determine it's viability for the three remaining districts. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Without the adjustments to the current parking rates, municipal parking assets in need of reconstruction/replacement without the supported funds, will lead to further degrading of the asset, as well as, the potential for increased public safety concern and City liability. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Parking rates in the City have not been adjusted since 2001 with the exception of off street rates increasing slightly in the Clifton Hill tourist core area in 2008. This has January 8, 2013 - 14- TS-2013-02 resulted in the depletion of funds for maintaining the operational needs of the parking system and keep up with inflating costs of resources. The yearly contribution to the reserve parking fund peaked in 2003 at $200,000.00 with a downward trend to its current level of $150,000 in 2010 which was used to offset increases to the tax base. This trend means that the parking operation will start to operate in a negative by 2014, thereby either requiring tax supported money to operate or infrastructure reserves. It is Parking Operations goal to maintain an independent source of revenue to sustain its operational needs and provide excess revenue back to the tax stream. Parking Rates in the City range from $0.50/hr to $1.50/hr for short term on street parking generally with a maximum duration of stay for two hours, from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Areas that differ from the above are the tourist areas which incorporate rates of $1.50 per hour, seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Monthly parking rates range from $25.00 to $30.00 excluding taxes. From a transportation demand perspective, it is desirable to have monthly parking rates the same level or higher than monthly transit pass costs (presently $70.00) in order to encourage public transit use. Renovations to existing lots to provide safe and attractive public parking facilities are based on the Asset Assessment model put into place by the City in 2008. The cost to construct a surface parking space ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 per stall, therefore, a long range forecast on cost implications and the ability to continue to provide spaces during reconstruction must be taken into account. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, continue the parking operations user-pay philosophy through the development and implementation of a 10 Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program and Rate Stabilization Plan.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-04 Municipal Residential Loan Programs (CIP) Update RECOMMENDATION That Council clarify its direction in respect to the Municipal Residential Loan Program (CIP). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the Council meeting held October 23, 2012, Council amended the residential loan program for the Downtown CIP. The amendment established an upper limit of $600,000 for available loans. The upper limit or cap was the approximate value remaining in the Downtown CIP Special Purpose Reserve at the time of consideration. Staff are providing this report to seek Council's guidance on the interpretation of the approved limit. In staff's view there are two ways that the cap can be applied. Firstly, the upper limit establishes the maximum amount of loans available under the program. Alternatively,the upper limit establishes the maximum amount of grants and debt servicing that can funded by the reserve. The implications of each alternative has impacts on the available incentive program. If the first option is Council's intention wherein the loan limit is$600,000, then the opportunity for future incentives both through grants and loans is deferred until the existing loans are repaid. On the other hand, if the intention of the upper limit was to ensure that the grant and debt servicing cost of the loan not exceed the available reserve then the program can continue until the reserve is exhausted. BACKGROUND The Downtown CIP was approved by Council in December, 2004 with the intent of encouraging a healthy viable Downtown. One of the main purposes of the CIP is to stimulate private sector investment and a method to do this involved the preparation of a package of financial incentives. The incentives included a commercial building and facade improvement grants and residential loan for new apartments. The commercial building and facade improvement grants have been quite popular with over 55 grants approved since inception. On the other hand, the loan program has had five residential loan applications over the past seven years. January 22, 2013 -2 - F-2013-04 At present, two loan agreements are being repaid, while the other three have partially advanced as construction is still ongoing. In addition to the loans provided for property in the Downtown area, two loans have been approved for projects in the Main & Ferry CIP area, which to date, these projects have not started. An update on the loans in this area will be subject of a future report. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The financial incentives offered to applicants for both the grant programs and the loan program are funded by the Downtown CIP Special Purpose Reserve initiated at inception of the programs which have been carried forward to this date. As at year end, the approximate value remaining in the reserve is $600,000, pending year end adjustments. The charges against the reserve for each incentive program is different. The cost of an incentive grant is a direct charge against the reserve. A portion of each grant is offset by funding from the Region as they are a partner in these incentives. An example of this impact is in the case of a successful applicant receiving a facade grant of $20,000. The net expense to the reserve would be $15,000 once the Regional contribution of$5,000 is received. The cost of the loan program incentive is recorded differently. There are two benefits to the applicant. Firstly, the CIP loans are interest free, thus the cost to the City is the interest foregone on the loan. Similar to the grant program, the Region will contribute to the funding of the interest cost. In these cases, the Region will split the charge equally with the City. Another benefit to an applicant of the municipal loan program is the favourable repayment terms wherein, loan repayments commence one year after the final advance is provided, wherein the repayment plan is spread over 5 years and finally 25% of the loan amount is deferred to a final balloon payment due at the end of the term. As security to the City, the mortgage is registered against the property as is normally performed by lending institutions. To date the existing loan arrangements are being adhered to as required. As indicated, there are 5 loans outstanding at this time. Two are being repaid and three are still in the construction stage. A summary of the loans is provided in Schedule 1. As this shows the approved loan advances are $919,745 with only $678,134 outstanding at this time. The municipality has been able to use internal financing to advance funds to applicants. When the CIP program was initiated, a cap of the amount of loans outstanding was not made. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS The Council direction of October 23, 2012 was to establish an upper limit for the loans outstanding of $600,000. As is evidenced by the outstanding chart, the approved loan amounts exceed this limit as at December 31 , 2012. As a result, staff are seeking clarification on proceeding moving forward with the incentive program. January 22, 2013 - 3 - F-2013-04 Two options exist: 1. Confirm the upper limit for loans outstanding of $600,000 As indicated this interpretation clearly establishes the limit for outstanding loans at $600,000. This has a practical difficulty since the existing approved loans is $919,745 which exceeds the upper limit. This effectively closes the incentive program,for both loans and grants until such time that the current loans are repaid. Based on the current repayment schedules no further incentives for property owners will be available until 2015. Staff feel this limit has resulted in this unintended consequence which seems to be contrary to the original objectives of the program. 2. The upper limit established the maximum amount of grants and debt servicing that can funded by the reserve As indicated, the reserve fund has a balance of approximately$600,000 at year end. Staff have determined the debt servicing cost of the existing loans against the reserve. The cost of $174,666 is shown in Schedule 2. The cost is split equally between the City and Region. Further, at the January 8, 2013 meeting, CIP grants of net cost of $70,000 were approved. Thus, if this interpretation is accepted, then future grants and loans will be available to applicants based on an unencumbered reserve balance of approximately $443,000. As previously described, the issuance of new loans and/or grants results in different impacts on the expenditure recorded against the reserve. Moving forward, if this interpretation is chosen then every future report related to future applications for either grants and /or loans will include an update of the impact of the reserve.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO-2013-01 Battlefield School Property Update RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council recommend the original proposal presented in Report PD-2012-15, dated February 14, 2012, involving the sale of the former school building to the Stamford Kiwanis Club, a portion along the easterly boundary to a neighbouring commercial property for parking purposes and retaining the balance of the land for park purposes, and furthermore 2) That the City proceed with a public meeting as outlined in Report PD-2012-27 (AM- 2012-002), dated April 24, 2012, to rezone lands to Residential Multiple Family, Open Space and General Commercial. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A public meeting was held on April 24, 2012 to consider rezoning the former Battlefield School lands for multiple family use, a portion of land along the easterly boundary for commercial use and the balance for open space purposes. City Council deferred the matter and passed a motion to provide the Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield six (6) months in which to raise $450,000 to purchase the school. More than nine (9) months has now passed and Mr. Bill Colclough will be making a presentation to Council at tonight's meeting to request that the Friends of Lundy's Lane Battlefield be provided a five (5) year lease of the former school property in order to better position themselves to raise funds to pay for the cost of the demolition of the school which is estimated to be about $250,000 to $350,000. This report provides five (5) options for Council to consider and they are outlined further in this report, however, staff continues to recommend the original proposal which called for a partnership with the Kiwanis Club for the redevelopment of the Battlefield School building into senior residences. BACKGROUND The Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield have been diligently working on their fundraising campaign. They have approached many businesses and applied for various government grant programs. They found that many potential donors have committed funds to other causes and organizations for 2012. While they have gathered a number of partners and supporters, the challenge faced by the group has been the collection and confirmation of funds. The money raised by the group to date is well short of the required $450,000 that Council requested be raised. January 22, 2013 -2 - CAO-2013-01 Concern has been reported by the Niagara Falls Museum Advisory Board that the Friends of Lundy's Lane Battlefield have approached the Lundy's Lane BIA to redirect $150,000 earmarked for the Lundy's Lane Gateway Project. Another concern that has been raised by the Niagara Falls Museums Advisory Board,who continues to fundraise for the Museum expansion, is that they are experiencing difficulty with their fundraising efforts as members of the community are confused over the different funding requests being made for Battlefield projects. The Stamford Kiwanis Club has been advised of the possible request by the Friends of Lundy's Lane Battlefield for the City to lease them the former school property. The Kiwanis Club has responded and informed staff that if the request for a lease is granted, they will abandon their interest in the former school and pursue a housing project in some other location. ANALYSIS & RATIONALE In April 2012, the City acquired the former Battlefield School Property from the Niagara District School Board (DSBN) for the purchase price of $900,000. Even though the senior levels of government were approached to assist financially with the acquisition of these lands, no support was forthcoming and the preservation of these lands in public ownership rested with the City. In Council's deliberation of the matter, the proposal put forth envisioned a partnership with the Kiwanis Club and an abutting property owner which would have limited City's costs of the purchase price to approximately $100,000. On this basis staff recommended proceeding with the purchase from DSBN. The partnership put forth by staff was contingent on the rezoning of the lands from "R2" residential to Open Space (for the parkland portion), R5A (for the seniors' apartment portion) and GC General Commercial (for the parking portion). If the City had not pursued the purchase, the property would have been sold by the DSBN on the open market with development rights over the entire parcel allowing residential development at an "R2" density. In order to assist Council in its decision making process related to this proposal, staff has developed a series of Options for consideration. These Options outline what the financial and tax implications are related to the property: Option 1: Support the original proposal presented in PD-2012-15 dated February 14, 2012 involving the sale of the former school building to the Stamford Kiwanis Club, a portion in the easterly side of the property to a neighbouring commercial property for parking purposes and retain the balance of the land for park purposes. Furthermore, that the City proceed with a public meeting as outlined in Report PD- 2012-27, AM-2012-002, to rezone the lands Residential Multiple Family, Open Space and General Commercial. When staff originally approached the School Board regarding the purchase of the school property, it was to be conditional upon the rezoning of the school for apartment use. There was no intention to increase the size of the school building, but rather utilize the existing structure. Unfortunately, the school board would not accept any offer which included any Conditions. This forced the City into buying the entire property and taking a risk that the building could be rezoned and sold to the Stamford Kiwanis Club. Such a transaction would January 22, 2013 - 3 - CAO-2013-01 enable the City to recoup $450,00 toward the cost of the property. There is also interest from an adjacent commercial operation to acquire a portion of property to expand a parking lot. E.S. Fox has generously donated $250,000 to assist the City in the acquisition of the Battlefield School property. This donation was presented at a time when there was fear that the property could be sold to a private developer. The lands are currently zoned R2 Residential which permits single and semi detached dwellings. It was intended that the balance of the property which is closest to the actual battlefield site would be protected as a public park. The school building is intended to be renovated for apartments and address the community's need for senior's housing. The property is close to many urban services such as doctors' offices, restaurants and municipal transit. In addition, the adaptive reuse of the building fits well with the Region's Smart Growth principles and takes advantage of existing municipal services. Financial Scenario of Option 1 Purchase Price from Public School Board $900,000 Offer from Stamford Kiwanis Club for School Building if Rezoning -$450,000 Approved (1.73 acres) Donation from E.S. Fox -$250,000 Sale of Land for Parking Expansion -$100,000 Final estimated cost of 1.9 acres of parkland $100,000 Property Tax from Seniors' Development (City Portion) Per Year $25,000 / $30,000 The preliminary cost to retrofit the former school building into 30 apartments is $4 million. It is estimated that the City would receive annual taxes of approximately $25,000 - $30,000. The Stamford Kiwanis Club will be required to pay approximately $40,000 in building permit fees; approximately $43,000 in City Development Charges; and approximately $66,000 in Regional Development Charges. The development charges include the percentage waiver for being located within the Historic Drummondville CIP. Option 2: Support the sale of the former school building to the Stamford Kiwanis Club and the balance of the lands be under the ownership of the City and used for park purposes. As part of this option, the City proceed with a public meeting to rezone the school building for Multiple Family use and the balance of the lands for park purposes. Some concern was expressed at the public meeting regarding the proposed sale of lands to an abutting commercial landowner for parking purposes. As a result, Option 2 is being proposed for as a possible alternative. January 22, 2013 -4 - CAO-2013-01 Financial Scenario of Option 2 Purchase Price from Public School Board $900,000 - Offer from Stamford Kiwanis Club for School Building if Rezoning -$450,000 Approved (1.73 acres) Donation from E.S. Fox -$250,000 Final estimated cost of 2.28 acres of parkland $200,000 Property Tax from Seniors' Development (City Portion) Per Year $25,000 / $30,000 Option 3: Support the sale of a portion of the lands along the easterly boundary to a neighbouring commercial property for parking purposes, demolish the school and retain the remainder of the lands for park purposes. The City would proceed with a public meeting to rezone the easterly lands to "GC" (General Commercial) for parking purposes. This option would see the sale of lands along the easterly boundary of the property and the retention and demolition of the building that would then be returned to its natural state. Financial Scenario of Option 3 Purchase Price from Public School Board $900,000 Demolition Costs — School Building $300,000 Donation from E.S. Fox -$250,000 Sale of Land for Parking -$100,000 Final estimated cost of 3.63 acres of parkland $850,000 Option 4: Support the granting of a five (5) year lease of the property to the Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield in order to allow the Friends time to secure grants ($450,000) toward the demolition of the school and property acquisition. The rezoning application AM-2012-002 be withdrawn and the file closed. At the time of the public meeting on the rezoning, the Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield felt that six (6) months was sufficient time to fundraise $450,000 to purchase and demolish the former school. It appears that the group is considerably short of their goal and it is unknown as too how much money can be raised. It is the group's desire to have the school building demolished and this cost is estimated to be $300,000. If the Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield can raise $450,000 and the City pursues the sale of a portion of land to the adjacent commercial landowner and applies the E.S. Fox donation, the cost to the City could be $400,000. January 22, 2013 -5 - CAO-2013-01 Financial Scenario of Option 4 Purchase Price from Public School Board $900,000 Demolition Cost — School Building $300,000 Fundraising from Friends of Lundy's Lane Battlefield -$450,000 Donation from E.S. Fox -$250,000 Sale of Land for Parking Expansion -$100,000 Final estimated cost of 3.63 acres of parkland $400,000 Option 5: Support not selling or leasing any of the property and that the former school building be demolished and the property remain owned by the City in its entirety and be used for park purposes. The rezoning application AM-2012-002 be withdrawn and the file closed. This option would negate having to wait for the proposed lease with the Friends to expire and allow for the demolition of the school building to occur and use of the park by the public. We are seeing some vandalism occurring at the school with broken windows and graffiti. Financial Scenario of Option 5 Purchase Price from Public School Board $900,000 Demolition Cost — School Building $300,000 Donation from E.S. Fox -$250,000 Final estimated cost of 4.01 acres of parkland $950,000 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The City has acquired the Battlefield School property for$900,000. The proposal put forth by staff at the time of the acquisition would see the City's net cost of$100,000 [Option #1]. Other options require a much greater financial commitment from the City. These additional funds would have to be allocated from either the 2013 Capital Budget or Reserves. In addition, there is a lost tax revenue opportunity of $25,000 - $30,000 if the school is demolished and not retrofitted for seniors apartments. Also, under each of the five (5) options, the operating cost of the additional parkland would be approximately $5,000 annually. The current utility costs are $2,000 annually and the monthly monitoring cost is $200 per month. January 22, 2013 -6 - CAO-2013-01 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT It is one of the Council's strategic priorities to attain financial stability and ensure resources are focussed on core programs. The preservation of the Battlefield lands is important and satisfies a strategic priority. The decision for Council rests with which of the five (5) options it wishes to pursue.

Diodati "IN CAMERA" and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD-2012-15 Purchase of Battlefield School 6015 Barker Street RECOMMENDATION That Council support the purchase of the Battlefield School property for $900,000 with a closing date no earlier than May 31, 2012. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff met with the District School Board of Niagara on February 1, 2012 to present Council's proposed offer to purchase the Battlefield School lands for up to $900,000 subject to a condition that the property containing the former school be rezoned for apartment use. The School Board has advised that they are not prepared to accept an offer with such a condition. BACKGROUND The requested conditional offer was intended to allow the City with time to process a rezoning of the school area because the Stamford Kiwanis wishes to be assured that they are able to redevelop the property for senior apartments. Without this assurance, the Kiwanis Club is not in a position to risk purchasing the land. During the meeting with the School Board, City staff attempted to negotiate a lower price for the school lands but was unsuccessful. City staff did advise the School Board that the City needs to carry out a Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Assessment in order to protect itself and make sure there is no environmental contamination on the site. The Phase 1 Assessment is complete and Phase 2 will be completed in the near future. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Due to this historical significance of the former school lands, it would be disappointing if these lands are not preserved for future public use. Attempts have been made to involve other levels of government to join the City in its attempt to acquire the school property. It has fallen upon the City to come forward to look at innovative ways to acquire and preserve the historic Battlefield property. February 14, 2012 -2 - PD-2012-15 The Stamford Kiwanis Club has agreed to purchase a 2 acre parcel containing the former school for $450,000. Planning staff has held discussions with the Kiwanis Club and their consultant and is prepared to start the rezoning immediately. Staff is confident that with a late closing date, there will be sufficient time to process the rezoning and secure the funds from the Kiwanis Club for the property. At the last "In Camera" meeting, staff noted that Spencer Fox owner of ES Fox has agreed to provide a donation of$250,000 towards the purchase of the Battlefield lands. It is also the intention of staff to seek the sale of a small portion of the easterly part of the lands to Morse and Son Funeral Home for parking. The details have yet to be determined but at the end of the day, this could result in the City paying only a portion of the cost of the Battlefield lands (2 acres). The intent of a late closing date would allow the City to carry out a couple of things. Firstly, staff will complete Phase 2 of the Environmental Assessment. Secondly, staff will process a rezoning which will rezone the school lands as R5A Multiple Family for seniors apartment use, the easterly portion of the land to be sold to Morse and Son Funeral Home as GC - General Commercial for parking use and the balance of the land to be retained by the City as OS - Open Space. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS It is the intent of the Battlefield land acquisition to minimize the risk and cost to the municipality. However, if the school does not become rezoned for apartment use, the Kiwanis will not be in a position to purchase the lands. Accordingly, there is a risk that the City could become the owner of the former school. If Council is not prepared to take this risk, the School Board should be advised that the City will only proceed with the purchase subject to rezoning or that Council withdraw its interest in the acquisition. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT It is a Council priority to promote new Heritage Tourism and the 1812 Bicentennial Celebrations. The acquisition and development of the Battlefield lands would satisfy this priority. However, it is not desirable for the City to retain the school building. For this reason, staff recommends support to proceed with the purchase of land only if the School Board provides the City with an extended closing date to no earlier than May 31, 2012.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario (THIS MATTER DEFERRED BY COUNCIL SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development' SUBJECT: PD-2012-27 AM-2012-002, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6015 Barker Street Applicant: City of Niagara Falls Proposed 30 Unit Apartment Building, Park and GC Zone RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone part of the lands to a site specific Residential Apartment 5A (R5A) zone to permit the existing school building to be used as a 30 unit apartment building, part of the lands to a General Commercial (GC) zone and the remaining portion of the lands to an Open Space (OS) zone, as detailed in this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City has initiated a zoning amendment to permit a 30 unit apartment building, a park and a GC zone. The amendment can be supported because: • the proposed apartment building is located within Historic Drummondville CIP, which encourages residential development; • the existing School building is being reused as a proposed apartment building, which is consistent with Provincial Policy; • there are sufficient services within walking distance of the proposed apartment building; • the density of the proposed apartment building is consistent with the density requirements in the City's Official Plan; • the proposed park will preserve the Battle of Lundy's Lane site and provide an opportunity for public access; and • the proposed General Commercial is an extension of the abutting General Commercial zone. BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By-law amendment is requested to change the zoning of the property from Residential Single Family and Two-Family (R2) to a site specific Residential Apartment 5A Density (R5A) to permit the existing building on the property to be converted into an apartment building containing 30 dwelling units. Site specific amendments are requested to the R5A standards for a reduced rear yard setback, increased lot coverage and a reduction of the required parking. The application also proposes to zone a portion of the lands to an Open Space (OS) as they are intended to be preserved for park purposes (part of the former battlefield) and another portion to be zoned General Commercial (GC), for possible commercial use. April 24, 2012 -2 - PD-2012-27 Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject property is the site of the former Battlefield School, which closed in 2011. The property is 1 .6 hectares (4 acres) in area with frontage on Barker Street. The property abuts residential uses to the south, west (in part) and east (in part). To the north and east (in part) are commercial uses and to the west (in part) is a municipal cemetery. The residential uses along Barker Street are mostly 1 and 2 unit dwellings, however, there are a number of low-rise apartment buildings in proximity to the site. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara - No objections. The Region advises that the area has a high potential for the discovery of archaeological artifacts and, therefore, an archaeological assessment is to be carried out by a licensed archaeologist prior to any grading/soil disturbance. A holding symbol should be applied to these areas. Where there has already been a disturbance, this is not required. The Region also advised that waste collection for the site would have to comply with the Region's requirements if Regional collection is proposed. Otherwise, private waste collection would have to be provided for the site. • City Clerk No objections. • Building Services No objections. • Transportation Services - Notes that there is little buffering around the proposed parking lot for snow storage. Planning staff note that the aisle width of the proposed parking lot to the east of the school building is 0.6 metres(2 feet) larger than the minimum in the Zoning By-law. Therefore, opportunity exists to increase the buffering at the Site Plan Control stage. Transportation services does not support the reduction of parking spaces from 42 to 35 as this represents a deviation of more than 10% of the required standard. • Municipal Works, Parks and Recreation, Legal Services, Fire Services, Niagara Falls Transit No objections. • Surrounding Neighbours - Letters received from neighbours are on tonight's agenda. The letters oppose the proposed apartment building and cite concerns about too many apartments in the area, not enough single detached dwellings, loss of trees for parking along Barker Street and fear of low income tenants. One of the letters also opposed rezoning a portion of the property to GC citing concerns of noise from the commercial uses to the east. None of the letters objected to the proposed OS zone. April 24, 2012 - 3 - PD-2012-27 A petition containing 88 signatures was submitted in opposition to the R5A zoning for a 30 unit apartment building, considering it not to represent good planning. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on March 21, 2012 to explain the proposal and to answer questions. Approximately twelve (12) residents attended and expressed opposition to the proposed apartment building citing similar concerns as noted above. There was also a concern about the loss of a historic site (Battle of Lundy's Lane site) because of development. Members of the Stamford Kiwanis were in attendance and advised that if they successfully purchase the site, they intend to renovate the interior and rent the building only to seniors. It was also noted that the proposed apartment building will utilize the existing school building and there is no proposed expansion of the building footprint. To address the concern about the loss of trees, the parking arrangement in the front yard has been revised to preserve all but three of the trees. A second neighbourhood meeting was held on April 12, 2012 to provide more details on the apartment and park sites. Residents in opposition to the proposed apartment building cited similar concerns to the previous open house (too many apartments on the street, traffic, low income tenants). The residents suggested that the City should demolish the school building and convert the whole property into a park to commemorate the Battle of Lundy's Lane. Two residents suggested that, given enough time, they would be able to raise the necessary funds to purchase the school, demolish it and create a park. ANALYSIS 1 . Provincial Policy Provincial policy encourages residential intensification in order to provide efficient use of servicing. The proposed Zoning By-law amendment is consistent with these directives as it utilizes an existing building for reuse, provides an opportunity for recreational activities to the surrounding neighbourhood, contributes to the City's housing supply and is located in proximity to several bus routes. The proposed apartment building is considered a good adaptive reuse of the existing school building and is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. The proposed park will provide a recreation feature for the neighbourhood and an opportunity to preserve a site of historical significance to the community. The proposed GC zone will provide an opportunity for the City to recoup some of the cost of the school property and help resolve a long standing parking problem associated with the funeral home operations. Residents expressed a concern about the concentration of apartment buildings on the street and the lack of single detached dwellings on the street. Provincial policy encourages a mix of housing options. The predominant form of housing in the City is single detached dwellings, the proposed apartment building contributes to the mix of housing types. The proposal adds to the variety of rental stock in the City and a mix of housing options for the City. This is consistent with Provincial policy. 2. Official Plan The land is designated Residential and Minor Commercial in the Official Plan. The land is also within the Drummondville Node of Council's adopted policies of OPA 94. The policies for the Drummondville Node encourage residential intensification, the provision of public facilities and built form consistency with the surrounding land uses. In addition, April 24, 2012 -4 - PD-2012-27 the general residential policies in the Official Plan support providing innovative housing forms. The proposal is on a collector road, which allows apartments at a density of 100 units per hectare (41 units per acre), and is within the maximum height limit of 4 storeys. The proposed apartment building conforms with the Official Plan policies as follows: - The density of the proposed apartment building is 44 units per hectare which conforms to the density criteria of the Official Plan. - The proposed apartment building will use the existing school in its entirety. There are no plans to expand the building envelope. Since this building has existed for more than 40 years, it is part of the character of the neighbourhood and, therefore, consistent with the built form. - The proposed apartment building represents intensification of the property and contributes to the City's housing supply. - The reuse of the existing school building is an innovative form of redevelopment and an appropriate use for the building. The portion of the subject lands that is proposed to be rezoned to GC is designated Residential. The boundary for the Minor Commercial designation follows the back of the properties to the east. The Official Plan notes that the designation boundaries are considered approximate except where bounded by roads, rail lines, or other clearly defined physical features. Where the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained, minor boundary adjustments are permitted without the need for an Official Plan amendment. Planning staff consider the proposed GC zone to maintain the intent of the Official Plan since it is to be added to commercial lands on Main Street. 3. Community Improvement Plan The subject property is located within the Historic Drummondville Community Improvement Plan (CIP) as adopted by City Council in the fall of 2006. The purpose of a CIP is to help stimulate redevelopment and the Historic Drummondville CIP does this by providing land use directions and financial incentives to promote redevelopment of commercial and residential uses, and provide opportunities for physical improvements such as streetscaping that will help encourage private sector investment. One of the specific projects highlighted in the CIP is the possible acquisition of the Battlefield School should it become available and providing access for pedestrian movement between Main Street and Drummond Hill. The acquisition of the school play area by the City and rezoning to Open Space will allow for the expansion of the publically held Battlefield lands, improve access from the municipal parking lot and pedestrian walkway from Barker Street, and increases the opportunity that a public access may be possible to Main Street. In regards to the school building and the rezoning to a site specific R5A zone, the Historic Drummondville CIP encourages the construction of new residential development and residential intensification. The CIP encourages new residential redevelopment through a Residential Loan Program. The building provides an opportunity for an adaptive reuse project that has successfully occurred in other areas of the City. The future occupants of the building would utilize local services and retail uses that would have a positive impact on the local economy. April 24, 2012 - 5- PD-2012-27 4. Zoning By-law The proposed site specific R5A zone would allow the school to be converted into an apartment building containing 30 dwelling units. The building would be two storeys, however, the second storey would be only where the gymnasium is currently located. Modification to the exterior of the building (e.g. additional windows) will be needed to accommodate the residential use but the overall footprint will remain the same as it is now. The requested site specific amendments include a reduced rear yard setback from 10 metres (32.8 feet) to 8 metres (26.2 feet) and to increase the maximum lot coverage from 30 percent to 36.5 percent. These adjustments are a balance of protecting as much of the former battlefield as possible while maintaining sufficient amenity space at the rear of the building. In order to preserve as many trees as possible in the front yard, it was necessary to reduce the amount of parking on the site. The reduction in parking is from 42 spaces to 35 spaces. This is equivalent to 1.2 parking spaces per unit. This reduction can be supported as there are several bus routes along Main Street and Lundy's Lane to provide public transit options for tenants in the building. The proposed OS zone is intended to be used for parkland that will commemorate the Battle of Lundy's Lane. Although this site has not been listed or designated under the Heritage Act, the community places historic significance on the site. Establishing a City park on the site is a good way to acknowledge the historic significance of the site until such time as the site is officially listed or designated. The OS portion would obtain access to Lundy's Lane by the abutting City owned parking lot at 6002 Lundy's Lane. The Region recommends applying a holding category zone to any portion of the subject property where any new development will result in a soil disturbance. Accordingly, Planning staff recommend that the GC portion of the subject property be placed into a holding category that would be removed at such time as the completion of a archaeological assessment. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The City is in the process of purchasing the subject property. The City is planning to use revenue from the sale of the various portions of the subject property to help offset the burden of the purchase. The apartment rezoning provides an opportunity to partner with the Kiwanis to lessen the impact on taxpayers by sharing the cost of the land acquisition. The conversion of the former school into an apartment building would contribute to the tax base of the corporation. The adaptive reuse of the school is considered to be sustainable development because it maximizes the use of an existing building, capitalizes on existing municipal infrastructure and does not contribute to waste in a landfill site which would occur if the building was to be demolished. It should be noted that any sale of City property is decided by Council in accordance with procedures whereby the land is declared surplus, an appraisal of the fair market value of the land is obtained and offers to purchase considered. Any future sales of part of the subject lands by the City will comply with Council's policy. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City's strategic priorities for 2011-2014 include developing a well planned City and reinvesting in our Community Improvement Areas. The requested Zoning By-law amendment conforms with the City's Official Plan and the Historic Drummondville Community Improvement Plan. April 24, 2012 -6 - PD-2012-27 The proposed apartment building, which is intended to be owned by Kiwanis, is a sustainable reuse of the existing building. This is more financially sustainable to the City than the City retaining the entire property for a park. This is also consistent with the City's strategic priorities for 2011-2014.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 RE: BATTLEFIELD SCHOOL The Kiwanis Club of Stamford held discussions with the City Officials in early 2012 to determine whether they could partner with the City in the purchase of the Battlefield School site with the idea that the building and grounds of the building would be purchased by Stamford Kiwanis and converted into senior citizens' apartments. After several meetings and site visits with the staff the members of Stamford Kiwanis Non Profit Homes felt that this site would be ideal for a senior citizen complex. As a result of our interest the City proceeded to negotiate a purchase with the Niagara District School Board and Stamford Kiwanis provided the City with a letter of intent to pay up to 50% of the purchase price of the site to a maximum of $450,000.00. Through the City's negotiations a price of $900,000.00 was agreed to with the School Board. As the City was then the owner of the property and needed to proceed with a rezoning in order for Stamford Kiwanis to proceed with the purchase the applications were commenced. Stamford Kiwanis was asked to provide all of the site drawings to go with the application. We hired Raimondo & Associates to proceed with the drawings in accordance with the request of the City Officials. Throughout the discussions we felt that our proposal would be a reasonable alternative for a portion of the lands with the larger section of land being retained by the City to add to the historic site adjacent to the Drummond Hill Cemetery. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to ./2 changing the world one child and one community at a time. As a result of public input the City did defer the rezoning for six months to allow a group to raise sufficient funds to meet the purchase price which we were offering. We have been very patient for the six months and now an extension of the six months however we wish to bring this matter to a conclusion at this time. We are prepared to continue with the arrangement that we had originally established with the City; however, if the City does not want to complete these arrangements and wishes to continue with .a group for the historic site then we would ask that our expenses which are currently about $10,000.00, be reimbursed to us as we were acting in good faith with the City throughout this whole purchase and rezoning application. Yours truly, STAMFORD KIWANIS CLUB Brian McKeown, R.C.M., A.C.C.I. /flg Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. 483 Wing Royal Canadian Air Force January 14, 2013 The Armoury, 5049 Victoria Ave., Niagara Falls, Ontario Dean lorfida Clerk, City of Niagara Falls Re: Lundys Lane Battlefield Dear Sir: The 483 Wing Royal Canadian Air Force would like to express its support for the proposal by the Friends of Lundys Lane Battlefield with regard to the need to remove the former Battlefield School building, thereby preserving the last four acres of the key lower part of the historic Lundys Lane battlefield. The other major local battlefields such as Chippawa, Queenston, etc. have by accident or design been largely preserved as they were circa 1812. The Lundys Lane battlefield is unfortunately situated in the middle of our city and it seems that previous generations have made little practical effort to preserve this area of national historic importance. Preservation of the battlefield would provide a number of benefits to the city such as: 1. An adjunct to the exhibits and programs at the newly renovated and re- invigorated Niagara History Museum. For example giving battlefield tours along with a visit to the museum. 2. Be an incentive for historical military sites to cooperate to establish another reason for tourists to visit Niagara i.e. coordinated tours of our battlefields and museums. 3. Add value for individuals and groups who would be touring the other battlefields and museums in Niagara. For example a tour group studying the war of 1812 could start could start at either Fort Erie or Fort George and visit the sites along the Niagara River and at the halfway point in their tour exit from the Parkway visit the 483 Wing Royal Canadian Air Force and the Niagara History Museum and the Lundys Lane Battlefield. After a nice lunch is one of our city's fine restaurants they could continue north or south to conclude their tour. 4. Give tourists a reason to stay longer in our city and area. 5. Add another reason for tourists to look at Niagara as a destination and hopefully, at a minimum an overnight destination. The 483 Wing Royal Canadian Air Force would be pleased to assist in any or all aspects of a project that preserves the Lundys Lane Battlefield. Yours Truly, G.V. Beck President Niagara Military Museum S2I311VIN JNINNV1d /y: NiagaraFalls REPORT TO: SUBMITTED BY: SUBJECT: PBD- 2013 -10 January 22, 2013 Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Planning, Building & Development PBD- 2013 -10 AM- 2012 -018, Zoning By -law Amendment Application 3665, 3769, 3779 & 3807 Macklem Street and 8069 & 8085 Mechanic Street Applicant: H2O Front Development (Jay Mason) Proposed 160 Unit, Four - Storey Apartment Building RECOMMENDATION Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to permit a 160 unit, four - storey apartment building with accessory uses, to be developed on the land. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a zoning amendment to permit the construction of a 160 unit, four - storey apartment building. The zoning of the land is requested to be changed to a Residential Apartment 5C Density (R5C) zone, with site - specific regulations to reduce the minimum lot area per dwelling unit, the minimum rear yard depth, minimum interior side yard depth, minimum exterior side yard depth, the minimum landscaped open space and increase the maximum lot coverage. The application can be supported because: the proposed development involves the development of underutilized land and makes use of existing services in the urban area, which is encouraged by Provincial and Regional policies; the proposed development conforms to the City's Official Plan with respect to compatibility and maximum density; the massing and scale of the proposed development are sensitive to the surrounding lands since the proposed building is at the intersection of three streets and maintains appropriate setbacks; the proposed development has adequate parking and will not generate a significant amount of traffic; the proposed development contributes to the City's supply and mix of housing types; the use of Site Plan Control and /or a Plan of Condominium is an acceptable method to limit the first phase of development to 110 units until there is sufficient sanitary sewage capacity and ensure a Record of Site Condition is obtained prior to development; and • specific details regarding landscaping, drainage and parking layout can be appropriately addressed through Site Plan Control. January 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD- 2013 -10 BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant proposes to construct a 160 unit, four - storey apartment building on the subject lands. The apartment building is proposed to include various amenities such as concierge service, a fitness centre, lap pool, theatre, library, lounge and terrace, for the exclusive use of the residents. Future applications for Site Plan Control and Plan of Condominium would follow should this application be approved. The subject lands are 1.44 hectares (3.55 acres) and comprised of 6 individual properties: 3665, 3769, 3779 & 3807 Macklem Street and 8069 & 8085 Mechanic Street. Current uses on the subject lands include a motel, 3 single detached dwellings, several derelict residential buildings and a bar /restaurant (the Boat House). The subject lands are currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC), in part, and Deferred Tourist Commercial (DTC), in part, by Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. The zoning of the lands is requested to be changed to Residential Apartment 5C Density (R5C), with site - specific regulations to reduce the minimum lot area per dwelling unit, the minimum rear yard depth, minium interior side yard depth, minimum exterior side yard depth, the minimum landscaped open space and increase the maximum lot coverage. Surrounding Land Uses One of the properties within the subject lands contains the Boat House restaurant. The Boat House building was originally the Baltimore House and is recognized by the Village of Chippawa Citizen's Committee, through a plaque on the property, as having historical significance. The building, however, is not listed on the Municipal Register nor is the building or any part of it designated as having cultural heritage value or interest under the Ontario Heritage Act. The surrounding lands to the north feature the City's Water Treatment Plan (WTP). To the east is the Welland River /Chippawa Creek. To the west and south are commercial uses, with additional residential use to the west. Circulation Comments • Municipal Works Department No objection to the application, however, it is noted that there are sanitary servicing restrictions in Chippawa Village. A site servicing study was submitted by the applicant and based on the information contained therein, Municipal Works can only support 110 units until sanitary servicing constraints in the area are resolved. The City is working to eliminate the sewage constraints in Chippawa and anticipates there being sufficient sanitary service capacity by the end of 2014. The applicant's solicitor has provided a letter which states the applicant's agreement to not exceed 110 units prior to 2015. The City's Landscape Architect requests that the applicant use "parkway" landscaping and that the building facade be conducive to Chippawa Village. These and other issues such as site drainage and grading can be addressed at the time of Site Plan Control. January 22, 2013 - 3 - PBD- 2013 -10 • Transportation Services Department • • Transportation Services has no objections to the application. A 3.05 metre (10 foot) road widening is required along Portage Road as well as daylighting triangles at the intersections of Portage Road /Macklem Street (7 metres by 7 metres; 22.9 feet by 22.9 feet) and Macklem Street/Mechanic Street (5 metres by 5 metres; 16.4 feet by 16.4 feet). These will be addressed through Site Plan Control. Building Services No objections. Fire Department No objections to the application. A detailed review of the development will be undertaken at the time of Site Plan Control. Planning staff note that site - design details such as turning radii and maneuvering on -site would be confirmed at the time of Site Plan Control. Any deficiencies may necessitate adjusting the position of the building. • Municipal Heritage Committee The Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC) conducted an inspection of the Boat House building on October 23, 2012. The MHC evaluated the building as "good ". - The MHC recommended that the Boat House building be placed on the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties. • Region of Niagara The Region advise that they have no objection to the application but recommend a holding provision (H) until a Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) has been completed and a Record of Site Condition (RSC) has been filed. The Region notes that the applicant's Land use Compatibility Study - Feasibility Assessment is acceptable from an air quality perspective and does not recommend any mitigative measures. The applicant submitted an Environmental Noise Impact Study which concludes that there are no noise impacts from the water treatment facility, however, noise mitigation measures from Portage Road (construction materials /warning clauses) are needed. These measures can be appropriately implemented at the time of Site Plan Control. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house held on December 19, 2012 was attended by the applicant and several area residents. No objections to the application were expressed at the open house. January 22, 2013 - 4 - PBD- 2013 -10 A resident asked about the possibility of a stop sign being erected at the end of Keller Street/Mechanic Street. Planning staff checked with the Transportation Services Department and they advise that a stop sign is likely not warranted since this is not an intersection, however, a checkerboard and /or curve sign may be warranted. Another question was asked about restricting construction traffic from using Keller and Mechanic Streets. Planning staff advised that this can be done in the site plan agreement. The applicant does not object to this. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The application conforms to the Growth Plan and is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statements as follows: • The proposed development involves the development of underutilized parcels of land within the urban boundary. • The proposed development utilizes existing infrastructure and municipal services. 2. Official Plan The site is designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan. While commercial uses are intended to be the predominant use under this designation, zoning amendments for residential development may be considered where commercially designated lands are in excess of demand; provided certain criteria are satisfied. The proposal to develop the site for residential purposes satisfies the following: The development will not have a detrimental impact on commercial development in the surrounding area since the subject lands are currently underutilized and there is sufficient commercially designated lands available in the area. The height and density of the proposed development is four storeys and 111 units per hectare, which are appropriate as the site has frontage on an arterial road, is located on a public transit route and is in proximity to a minor commercial district. The four storey height is a small increase from the two to three storey heights of buildings on abutting properties to the west. • The proposed building is not overwhelming with respect to scale and mass. Approximately 38% of the site is proposed to be landscaped. The property fronts onto three streets and faces the Welland River and maintains adequate setbacks from buildings on the abutting properties to the west. The proposed development is expected to generate about 63 vehicle trips per hour for the PM peak hour (48 for the AM peak hour), which will not significantly affect the level of service for traffic. January 22, 2013 • - 5 - PBD- 2013 -10 The Official Plan contemplates the use of a holding (H) provision in Zoning By -laws to phase development in accordance with available servicing and to ensure a site is environmentally suitable for development. Sufficient sewage capacity is available to support 110 units at this time. As an alternative to the holding provision, this issue can be addressed at the time of Site Plan Control and /or Plan of Condominium. The applicant's consulting engineer advises in his Phase One ESA that a Phase Two ESA is required for this site and, therefore, a RSC is required to be filed with the MOE before a Building Permit can be issued. Rather than a holding provision, this issue can be addressed at the time of Site Plan Control and /or Plan of Condominium. The proposed development would contribute to the City's long term supply of residential land and contribute 1.7 years to the City's short term supply of lands zoned to facilitate residential intensification. • The proposed development contributes to the variety and mix of housing in the City. 3. Zoning By -law Amendment The subject lands are currently zoned Deferred Tourist Commercial (DTC), in part, and Tourist Commercial (TC), in part. The zoning of the lands is requested to be changed to a Residential Apartment 5C (R5C) Density zone. The applicant has requested several site - specific amendments as noted below: Zone Provision Required Requested Minimum Lot Area 100 square metres for each dwelling unit 89 square metres for each dwelling unit Minimum Rear Yard Depth 10 metres 6 metres Minimum Interior Side Yard Width 7.62 metres 7.5 metres Minimum Exterior Side Yard Width 7.5 metres 5 metres Minimum Landscaped Open Space 40% of the lot area 38.02 % Maximum Lot Coverage 30% 41.15% The requested lot area reduction is considered minor as the site maintains an appropriate level of open space, accommodates all the required parking and the site conforms with the intent of the Official Plan with respect to density. January 22, 2013 - 6 - PBD- 2013 -10 The reduced setbacks and increased lot coverage can be supported since the building maintains an adequate setback from the abutting uses to the west and the building mass is compatible with the village character. • A 2% decrease in minimum landscaped open space will be undetectable. The site is proposed to be generously landscaped. • In accordance with the City's Landscape Architect's comments, Planning staff recommend that the By -law require the front, exterior side, and rear yards be maintained as landscape strips. To ensure privacy along the interior side lot line, Planning staff recommend that a 1.8 metre (6 foot) high wood privacy fence be constructed along the interior side yard as a requirement of Site Plan Control. Based on the above, Planning staff considers the proposed amendments to be appropriate and supports the application. 4. Parkland The applicant's solicitor has submitted a request to exempt the proposed development from having to provide cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication. By- law no. 78 -56 allows the City to require a cash payment in lieu of parkland dedication (5% of the value of the raw land the day before draft approval of a Plan of Condominium or Subdivision is given) at the time of the Plan of Condominium. This payment was not collected under any previous development. If Council were to exempt this development from this requirement, it would burden tax payers with the cost of providing the development's share of park and recreational facilities. Accordingly, Planning staff do not support the request to exempt the proposed development from having to provide cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication. 5. Heritage MHC recommended that the Boathouse property be listed in the Register of Heritage Properties. As can be seen in Attachments 1 and 2, the present building has few, if any, of the architectural features from 1910, which would have made the building architecturally distinct and significant. As a Listed property, the applicant would have to provide Council with 60 days notice before the demolition of the building could take place. This gives time for the municipality to work with the applicant to investigate ways to incorporate features /elements of the Boat House building into the design or methods to commemorate the building's contributions. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development would generate development charge contributions and tax revenue for the City. January 22, 2013 - 7 - PBD- 2013 -10 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The applications conform to the City's Official Plan policies which encourage intensification and efficient use of land.

Catharines Office Mr. David Deluce, Planner City of Niagara Falls City Hall 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Mr. Deluce: Re: H2O Front Developments: Chippawa Condominium Project Our File: 95913 We act as solicitors for H2O Front Developments with respect to the redevelopment of land in Chippawa. We have been asked to respond to you with respect to several matters in order to permit you to complete your recommendation report. 1. Sanitary Sewage Flows Mr. Doug Peters of the Quartek Group has been in communication with Mr. Rick Volpini of the Public Works Department. With regard to the issue of sanitary sewage flows, we understand that the sewage works that require to be completed in order for the City Engineering Department to lift related restrictions on occupancy are expected to be complete prior to the summer of 2014. Our client, H2O Front Developments, has instructed us to confirm hereby on their behalf that occupancy of their proposed Chippewa condominium development will not exceed 110 units prior to 2015. We understand that, based on this assertion, the City Engineering Department will not request or impose any restrictions on the development with respect to servicing constraints. 2. Record of Site Condition and Requirement for a Holding Provision it is our understanding that the City Planning Department is considering the imposition of a holding provision with respect to the provision of an ESA — Phase 2. Our respectfiul request is that the holding provision not be imposed for this reason. A holding provision unfairly penalizes the proposed development with an additional cost and time burden to remove the holding provision at the municipal level for a condition that has to be satisfied at the provincial Ministry of the Environment level to achieve a Record of Site Condition. We understand that the Site Plan Agreement will require a Record of Site Condition. The Record of Site Condition, in trn, cannot be achieved without the ESA — Phase 2 and approval by the Ministry of the Environment. In these circumstances, the holding provision is simply an additional requirement that is already satisfied by the requirement to be contained in the Site Plan Agreement that a Record of Site Condition must be obtained. 40 Queen Street, P.

Requirement for a "Deeming Provision" with respect to the Merger of Lands Comprising this Development The subject lands are described municipally as 3665, 3769, 3779 and 3807 Macklem Street, and 8069 and 8085 Mechanic Street. These parcels are shown on Plan 251 of the Village of Chippawa. The question has arisen whether these parcels will require a by -law to deem the lots not to be a plan of subdivision pursuant to the provisions of the Plamzing Act. Plan 251 is entitled "Plan of the Village of Chippawa" and bears the notation " *compiled from original plans, deeds and actual survey ". On the basis of this notation, and our review of the provisions of the Registration of Titles (Ontario) Act of 1868, under the authority of which this plan was prepared, we have concluded that Plan 251 is not a plan of subdivision and therefore does not require a "deeming by -law ". 4. Payment in Lieu of Parkland Dedication On behalf of our client, we are respectfully requesting that the requirement to pay five (5 %) percent of the value of the land in lieu of parkland dedication he waived. The following are our reasons for so request. First, the lands have been the subject of development and occupancy for a substantial period of time. We acknowledge that the density of development of these lands will increase, however, the infill represented by this development is in a compact form called for through Smart Growth principles. That in turn reduces servicing costs during building and maintenance fees over the long term to the municipality, Secondly, this development will provide a far higher tax return on the subject lands than what is currently being generated by the property. Thirdly, the development will provide significant development fees. Fourthly, the redevelopment of these lands will see separation of storm and sanitary sewage water to the benefit of the City and surrounding properties, Fifthly, the assembly and redevelopment of lands previously developed is more expensive to achieve. At the same time, the redevelopment in the proposed form will assist the City in satisfying the requirements of the Places to Grow Act and Plan.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development PBD- 2013 -12 January 22, 2013 SUBJECT: PBD- 2013 -12 AM- 2012 -015, Zoning By -law Amendment Application Oakwood Drive South of McLeod Road Applicant: Oakwood Place Shopping Centre Inc. Development of Second Phase With Mid -sized Retail Stores RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to revise the site specific zoning regulations of the Oakwood Place Shopping Centre to permit 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) of mid -sized retail stores on the south side of Oakwood Drive as Phase 2, with a minimum gross leasable floor area of 1,390 square metres (14,962 square feet) per unit, and to permit parking aisle widths of 6.1 metres (20 feet). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to permit Phase 2 of the Oakwood Place Shopping Centre, on the south side of Oakwood Drive (Parcel 2 on Schedule 1), south of McLeod Road, to be developed primarily with mid -sized retail stores. The amendment can be supported because: policies in the Official Plan allow an additional 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) within the 40,000 square metre (430,570 square foot) shopping centre to be developed for general retail purposes, with a minimum individual retail store size of 1,390 square metres (14,962 square feet), after January 1, 2011, if supported by a market study; • market studies are no longer required as per Council's direction. The policy requiring a market study for the shopping centre is being removed by OPA No. 94; • the requested parking aisle width is acceptable; and the addition of mid -sized stores to the shopping centre should assist in reinforcing Niagara Square Retail District's role as a regional shopping district and will assist in the completion of the District. BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested for the Oakwood Place Shopping Centre which is located on Oakwood Drive, south of Mcleod Road (Parcels 1 and 2 as shown on Schedule 1). Phase 1 of the development is located on Parcel 1 which is 8.5 hectares (21 January 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD- 2013 -12 acres) and is anchored by Walmart. Parcel 2 is 5.5 hectares (13.7 acres) in area and is currently undeveloped. The application is to permit 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) of gross leasable floor area to be developed with mid -sized stores. Schedule 2 shows how Parcel 2 is proposed to be developed. Parcels 1 and 2 are zoned Planned Shopping Centre Commercial (SC -832 and SC -833) by Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended by site specific By -law Nos. 2008 -107 and 2008 -108. The zoning permits a 40,000 square metre (430,570 square foot) commercial development and limits the aggregate floor area of retail stores, other than a department store or a home improvement store, to 7,000 square metres (75,350 square feet). The applicant is requesting an additional 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) of floor area to be developed for retail stores with a minimum floor area of 1,393 square metres (14,962 square feet) on Parcel 2. In addition, the applicant is requesting parking aisle widths to be reduced from 6.9 metres (22.6 feet) to 6.1 metres (20 feet). Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands are Parcel 2, which are undeveloped. Parcel 1, to the north, has been substantially developed with a Walmart store and 3 multi- tenant commercial buildings containing small retail stores and services. The hydro canal is located to the east of the subject lands and the QEW is located to the west. A car dealership and a mix of industrial and residential uses are located to the south. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara - No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. • Transportation Services, Niagara Falls Transit No objections. A transit supported design, including on -site bus bays, should be implemented at the site plan stage for Parcel 2. Alternatively, additional bus bays will be required on the south side of Oakwood Drive. Parks and Recreation No objections. A landscape plan emphasizing streetscape and entrance landscaping, shade tree planting and pedestrian linkages between buildings and parking is to be reviewed at the site plan stage. Municipal Works, Building Services, Fire Services, Legal Services - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on December 6, 2012. No neighbours attended the open house to hear about the proposal or to ask questions. January 22, 2013 ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan - 3 - PBD- 2013 -12 The lands are designated Major Commercial and form part of the Niagara Square Retail District which is to serve as a regional shopping district. Special policies apply to the lands that allow for a 40,000 square metre (430,570 square foot) shopping centre at the southeast intersection of McLeod Road and the QEW and limit the aggregate floor area of smaller retail stores. Official Plan policies support the requested zone change as follows: The shopping centre is comprised of two parcels of land. Each parcel is to be anchored by a large retail outlet or a grouping of medium sized retail outlets. The proposal is to allow for the establishment of mid -sized retail stores that would provide the anticipated anchor on Parcel 2. The proposal is consistent with the policies, which allow a second phase having an additional 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) within the 40,000 square metre (430,570 square foot) shopping centre to be developed for general retail purposes, with a minimum individual retail store size of 1,390 square metres (14,962 square feet), after January 1, 2011, if supported by a market study. Market studies are no longer required as per Council's direction. The policy requiring a market study for Phase 2 is being removed through Official Plan Amendment No. 94 previously adopted by Council. 2. Zoning By -law The applicant has requested the site specific zoning to permit 8,400 square metres (90,420 square feet) of mid -sized retail stores (minimum size of 1,393 square metres (14,962 square feet)) to be developed. In addition, the applicant has requested the required parking aisle widths to be reduced from 6.9 to 6.1 metres. The requested zoning amendments are appropriate for the following reasons: The floor area of 40,000 square metres (430,570 square feet) is not being exceeded. ■ Mid -sized stores will provide an alternative anchor on Parcel 2 in lieu of a large home improvement store that was initially anticipated when the shopping centre was approved. A parking aisle width of 6.1 metres (20 feet) was approved for Parcel 1 which is functional. There are no objections from a traffic or parking perspective to the use of this standard on Parcel 2. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The requested zoning by -law is supported by the Economic Vitality Priority in that it provides opportunity for new commercial development that will support the Niagara Square Retail District.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Planning, Building & Development PBD- 2013 -09 AM- 2012 -017, Zoning By -law Amendment Application 4943 and 4945 Clifton Hill Applicant: C.I. Burland Properties and Niagara Clifton Motor Inn Limited Amusement Establishments RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to add an Amusement Establishment to the list of uses permitted on the lands and to exempt the use from parking requirements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to permit Amusement Establishments (including amusement game machines, billiard and pool tables and /or bowling lanes) on the lands and to exempt the use from parking requirements. The amendment can be supported because: • the Official Plan intends that tourist serving uses be established in the Clifton Hill Subdistrict that contribute to a festival type atmosphere; • the Official Plan intends most non - accommodation uses in the tourist core to be exempt from having to provide parking; and • Amusement Establishments are compatible with a variety of tourist serving uses. BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested for 4943 Clifton Hill (0.69 hectare (1.7 acres)) and 4945 Clifton Hill (0.62 hectare (1.5 acres)) located on the north side of Clifton Hill between Falls Avenue and Victoria Avenue (see Schedule 1). The amendment is requested to permit Amusement Establishments on the properties and to exempt the use from parking requirements. Schedules 2 and 3 show how the properties are currently developed. January 22, 2013 - 2 - PD- 2013 -09 Both properties are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) in accordance with Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. The applicant is requesting the TC zoning of the properties to be site specifically amended to add an Amusement Establishment to the list of permitted uses. In addition, the applicant is requesting an Amusement Establishment to be exempt from parking requirements. An Amusement Establishment includes amusement game machines, billiard and pool tables and /or bowling lanes. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The two properties have been used for tourist commercial purposes for many years and are currently developed with restaurants, retail stores and attractions primarily along the street, and accommodations and parking facilities towards the rear. The surrounding land uses are developed with a similar range of uses including accommodations, restaurants, retail stores, attractions and Casino Niagara. Several Amusement Establishments have already been allowed in the area by site specific amendment. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By -law amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara No objections. The proposal is consistent with Regional policies that support and encourage continued expansion and development of tourism opportunities within the urban area. • Transportation Services No objections to the proposed use. However, the applicable parking rate for Amusement Establishments, as recently established by Council, should be applied. • Building Services No objections. All required Building Permits are to be obtained prior to commencement of any construction or renovation for the proposed use. • Fire Services No objections. Fire safety concerns will be addressed through the Building Permit process. Municipal Works, Parks and Recreation, Legal Services, Niagara Falls Transit No objections.

No neighbours attended the open house to hear about the proposal or to ask questions. ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The subject properties are located in the Clifton Hill Subdistrict of the Central Tourist District which is designated for tourist commercial development. The addition of an Amusement Establishment use and its exemption from parking requirements complies with the Official Plan as follows: - The Clifton Hill Subdistrict is to function as the commercial- entertainment centre of the City's tourist area with a wide range of tourist serving uses that contribute to a festival atmosphere. The addition of Amusement Establishments will contribute to the range of tourist serving uses and will be compatible with the festival atmosphere of Clifton Hill. Policies allow for the exemption of parking requirements for non - accommodation uses in the Clifton Hill area through zoning amendments as it is expected that most visitors will either walk or take other means of transportation to tourist serving uses from their accommodations. Exempting Amusement Establishments from parking requirements comply with these policies. 2. Zoning By -law The subject lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) by Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. Pinball or electronic game machine establishments and billiard or pool rooms are not allowed as -of -right in any zone in the City. But it should be noted that less than 3 pinball or other mechanical or electronic game machines are permitted in commercial establishments and a maximum of 10 pinball or electronic game machines are permitted in restaurants (with more than 30 seats), hotels, motels, places of entertainment and places of exhibition. By -law No. 2010 -67 which applies to 4955 -4957 Clifton Hill (Dave and Busters) permits an Amusement Establishment. The by -law defines an Amusement Establishment as "a building or part thereof within which more than three amusement game machines and /or billiard /pool tables and /or bowling lanes are available to the public." The same definition is proposed to be used for the subject properties. The requested zoning amendment to add an Amusement Establishment to the list of permitted uses is appropriate for the following reasons: Amusement Establishments are already permitted on other properties on Clifton Hill. The addition of another business on this street with 3 or more electronic game machines would be compatible with the established uses on this street; January 22, 2013 - 4 - PD- 2013 -09 restaurants and hotels /motels are already allowed to have up to 10 electronic game machines (the subject properties include restaurants and hotels /motels); and electronic games have become common place with the propensity of computers and hand -held devices that they no longer carry the stigma they once did. Current zoning regulations exempt most of the permitted uses on the properties, including the restaurants, retail stores and attractions, from parking requirements. The request to allow Amusement Establishments without parking requirements can be supported for the following reasons: Most of the permitted uses on the land (other than accommodations) are exempt from parking requirements by the zoning regulations passed by Council in 2012. An Amusement Establishment is not exempt from parking because it is not currently a permitted use in the TC zone. Exempting Amusement Establishment(s) from parking requirements would be in keeping with Council's latest intent respecting parking for non - accommodation uses in the tourist core. The proposed Amusement Establishment(s) would replace existing uses on the site that are already exempt from parking requirements. There is a surplus of parking available on the properties. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal is supported by the Economic Vitality Priority in that it provides an opportunity for new commercial development in the Central Tourist District.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Planning, Building & Development PBD- 2013 -11 AM- 2012 -016, Zoning By -law Amendment Application 5090 McRae Street Applicant: Alberto Ruiz Migoya Proposed Tourist Home (Bed and Breakfast) RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to add a tourist home (bed and breakfast) to the list of uses permitted in an owner - occupied dwelling, subject to a maximum of three bedrooms being made available to tourists, and to allow the required parking spaces for the tourist home to be provided in tandem with the required parking space for the dwelling; further 2. That staff be directed to process a general amendment to Zoning By -law No. 79- 200 to introduce a defintion of a tourist home. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to permit the existing single detached dwelling on the property to be used as a tourist home (bed and breakfast), with up to three bedrooms for tourists. The applicant has also requested relief from the by -law to allow required parking to be provided in tandem. The amendment can be supported because: • the Official Plan permits tourist homes in residential areas where they are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood; no changes are necessary to the parking area, the yard and the exterior of the dwelling. As such, the tourist home will maintain the character of the neighbourhood and be compatible with it; the property is located on a collector road and within walking distance of the Central Tourist District and its varied attractions and services. As such, no traffic impacts are expected on surrounding properties; and a tandem parking arrangement is acceptable given that only one parking space is so arranged and that it is the space for the owners vehicle. Tourist homes (bed and breakfasts) are not currently defined in the Zoning By -law. It would be appropriate to define a Tourist Home in the by -law as part of the review of Cottage Rental Dwellings so that one use is not established under the guise of the other. January 22, 2013 - 2 - PD- 2013 -11 BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested for 5090 McRae Street which is located opposite the southern terminus of Fourth Avenue (see Schedule 1). A detached dwelling exists on the 892 square metre (9,600 square foot) property. The amendment is requested to permit the existing dwelling to be used as a Tourist Home (bed and breakfast) with up to 3 bedrooms for tourists. Schedule 2 shows details of the property. The current Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zoning of the property does not permit a Tourist Home. The applicant is requesting the R2 zoning of the property to be site specifically amended to add a Tourist Home to the list of permitted uses. In addition, the applicant is requesting permission to enable the required parking space (one) for the dwelling to be provided in tandem (in the garage). Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The 2 1/2 storey, single detached dwelling on the property contains 5 bedrooms on the second and third storeys. The basement is finished and provides additional bedrooms that are used by the owner's parents. The dwelling includes a two car garage that is attached on the east side of the dwelling. A parking area exists in front of the garage that has sufficient width to accommodate 3 vehicles. The surrounding land uses consist primarily of single detached dwellings interspersed with some multiple unit dwellings. A place of worship exists on the northwest corner of McRae Street and Fourth Avenue and an office at the northeast corner. The Eventide Retirement Home exists further to the north, between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: Regional Municipality of Niagara - No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. City Clerk A license to operate the tourist home will be required. Transportation Services No objections. However, Transportation Services Staff do not support the requested tandem parking scheme as it may result in parking conflicts between guests at the tourist home. January 22, 2013 Building Services - 3 - PD- 2013 -11 A Change of Use Building Permit will be required to convert the dwelling to a tourist home. The living area in the basement will have to be reviewed for compliance with exiting and fire separation requirements (Ontario Building Code). Fire Services - No objections. Fire safety concerns will be addressed through the Building Permit process. Municipal Works, Parks and Recreation, Legal Services, Niagara Falls Transit - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on December 10, 2012 to explain the proposal and to answer questions. The applicant and 2 residents were in attendance. The residents expressed no objections to the application. One resident received clarification that each tourist bedroom would generally be occupied with up to two people, and that the existing swimming pool in the backyard would not be available to guests of the tourist home. ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. While dwellings are intended to be the predominant use under this designation, a variety of ancillary uses, including owner - occupied bed and breakfast establishments (tourist homes) may also be permitted by zoning amendment where they are considered compatible with the residential character. The proposed tourist home complies with the Official Plan as follows: No changes are necessary to the parking area, the yard and the exterior of the dwelling. As such, the tourist home will maintain the character of the neighbourhood and be compatible with it; and the property is located on a collector road within walking distance of the Central Tourist District and its varied attractions and services. As such, no traffic impacts are expected on surrounding properties. 2. Zoning By -law The R2 zone only permits single detached, semi - detached and duplex dwellings. The requested amendment is to add a tourist home to the list of permitted uses on the property. The proposed use should be regulated as follows: The Tourist Home use should be limited to 3 bedrooms for tourists to ensure it remains at a scale that is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood; January 22, 2013 - 4 - PD- 2013 -11 The Official Plan requires that tourist homes should only be allowed in owner - occupied dwellings. As such, regulations should be included in the amending by -law to require this; and To ensure on- street parking does not become an issue, only the parking space required for the dwelling itself should be allowed to be provided in tandem with one being in the garage (one space behind another) and the other in the driveway. Tourist Homes are not currently defined in the Zoning By -law, but are considered bed and breakfast establishments in the Official Plan. It would be appropriate to define Tourist Homes to reflect the Official Plan and distinguish them from Cottage Rental Dwellings. This could be accomplished by including a housekeeping amendment in the original study of Cottage Rental Dwellings which will be brought before Council at a future date. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal is supported by the City's Official Plan in terms of locating small scale tourist accommodations in residential areas where compatible.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD- 2013 -01 E -Bingo Gaming Initiative CD- 2013 -01 January 22, 2013 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the e- gaming model proposed by the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) and related agreement under the by -law section of the agenda. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Government of Ontario launched an initiative to modernize the charitable gaming industry. E -bingo gaming has successfully been introduced in six pilot municipalities. The OLG has approached the local bingo industry stakeholders (Delta Monte Carlo bingo hall, the sponsor association and municipality) to see if there's an interest to introduce the initiative in Niagara Falls. Municipal staff has analyzed the proposal and are of the opinion that charitable revenues will likely increase and municipal revenues would be neutral, at the worst, but also likely to increase. In order to participate, the municipality will have to execute the standard agreement required by the OLG. BACKGROUND In 2010, the Government of Ontario gave the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) direction to modernize charitable gaming in Ontario by, amongst other goals, allowing bingo halls to deliver electronic games. The charitable gaming industry has been dwindling with other gaming and entertainment options available in Ontario. In Niagara Falls, for example, we have seen four bingo halls reduced to one in our community since 2003. By "modernizing" the gaming options and providing more of an "exciting entertainment experience" at the bingo halls, the OLG feels that the charitable gaming industry can be preserved, maintained and, possibly, grown, especially in the year of introduction of modernized gaming options. The OLG proposes, going forward, that the gaming industry will be more strategic in its approach by monitoring trends and continually improving the product available to the consumer. The gaming industry, through the Ontario Charitable Gaming Association (OCGA) and the Commercial Gaming Association of Ontario (CGAO) reached an agreement with the OLG on the elements of a new e-Bingo Gaming initiative. A half a dozen e- gaming sites have been in operation under the OLG's pilot project. The OLG wishes to expand the initiative in other municipalities and has approached the Niagara Falls stakeholders (bingo hall, local charitable association, municipal gaming staff). Niagara Falls would be the first e- gaming site in the Region, if approved. January 22, 2013 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE - 2 - CD- 2013 -01 The bingo market has decreased over the last two decades. In Niagara Falls, there is only one bingo hall in operation from four in the 1980's. Part of the decrease can be attributed to other gaming options, most notably commercial gaming (casinos), however, the bingo hall experience has remained largely unchanged over time with paper products, old facilities and minimal promotion. The OLG's modernization of the charitable gaming industry will see traditional paper games supplemented with electronic delivery methods for games. Touch screens and video display terminals will allow for more entertaining visuals and the opportunity to play against the computer. The responsibilities under the new e-bingo model will be, as follows: OLG ✓ will fulfill its "conduct & manage" responsibility through service contracts with commercial operators, charities and municipalities. Municipality ✓ maintain certain responsibilities in exchange for a share of the revenue. ✓ continue to determine eligibility of charities. ✓ continue to determine amount event allocation to eligible charities. ✓ continue to approve use of proceeds through the yearly budget approval process. ✓ issue permits, instead of licences, to eligible charities. ✓ receive and validate monthly distribution report of funds to charities. ✓ review individual charity bank statements to ensure the depositing and spending of bingo revenue in accordance with the approved budget. ✓ assist with ensuring volunteers are bona fide members. Bingo Hall Operator ✓ manage all day -to -day operations, providing facilities and renovation investment, staffing, site advertising, promotion, and customer care management. ✓ commercial operators must agree to invest in upgrading their facilities, staff training, and implementation of the OLG's Responsible Gambling Program. Charities ✓ In exchange for a share of the proceeds, charities will have a support role in the charitable gaming centre and will promote public awareness of how funds raised benefit local charities and the community. ✓ the responsibilities for charities and their volunteer members will become far more manageable. ✓ charities will no longer be responsible for any cash management for bingo events. ✓ charities will require fewer members to attend their allotted bingo time slot. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The new model requires a transition in the legal framework from 207(1)(b) of the Criminal Code of Canada (a lottery scheme conducted by a religious or charitable group) to 207(1)(a) of the Code (a lottery scheme conducted by the Provincial government) to January 22, 2013 - 3 - CD- 2013 -01 accommodate the offering of traditional paper and, now, electronic charitable games. In order for e-bingo to occur, there must be an agreement of all of the pertinent stakeholders (the OLG, the bingo hall, the local charitable association and the municipality). There is no opportunity to vary the terms of the standard contract presented by the OLG; however, with the hall and association in favour of the changes, municipal staff recommend the execution of the standard agreement. Failing to modernize could see a further decrease to gaming revenues for local charitable organizations, which, in turn, could see such groups disbanding or seeking funding from the municipality. The municipality has averaged $153,000 in bingo licensing revenues over the last few years. Using the new OLG Charitable Gaming Model, even if there was a zero percent (0 %) net revenue increase in the first year of e- bingo, municipal licence /permit fee revenues would only decrease nominally ($3,000). In 2010, local charities realized approximately $1 million in bingo revenues. The amount has declined in the subsequent two years, however, with a zero percent net revenue increase in the first year of e- bingo, the charities would see an increase of $250,000. Obviously, the initiative is premised on the assumption that modernization will lead to increase attendance and revenues and that the more additional revenues, the more proceeds that will be realized by the charities and municipality. In some municipalities, the OLG has seen a twenty percent (20 %) increase in the first year of e- bingo. If such an increase is attained in Niagara Falls, the municipality would realize an additional $12 thousand dollars in revenues, while charities could realize an additional half a million dollars. It should be noted upon municipal approval, there will be time needed for the hall to make the physical renovations necessary to accommodate e- bingo. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal will provide economic stability and continued financial viability to the local bingo industry. In turn, charitable organizations will continue to be able to raise monies through bingo.

Given the challenges facing charities with the current bingo market, we are willing to participate in whatever changes are necessary, in order to continue to be able to raise funds through bingo events. As well, the change in roles & responsibilities will also be a benefit to our charity groups, as less volunteers will be required and those that do volunteer, will not have to have so much involvement in the event administration. Sincerely, Delta Monte Carlo Bingo Sponsors Association 4 i'ohn Szoke President Delta Monte Carlo Bingo November 20, 2012 Angela Duerksen Lottery Licencing Officer City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Re: E- Gaming Modernization Dear Angela, Please accept this letter as confirmation that Delta Bingo Inc. (o /a Delta Monte Carlo Bingo), is in agreement with the intention to convert Delta Monte Carlo Bingo, over to the E- gaming model. Given the challenges faced by the hall and the charities, in regards to the current bingo market in this municipality, we would definitely support being given consideration for this conversion to be done in the early part of 2013. We are confident that moving to the new model will allow us to continue to be a viable source of income, for the 90+ charities that depend on us for their fundraising initiatives. As always, we will continue to work with the City of Niagara Falls and our charities, to ensure that the conversion will be done with the least amount of impact on our charities and customers.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls Finance Department F- 2013 -02 2012 Capital Projects Update F- 2013 -02 January 22, 2013 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the closing of projects identified as completed and receive the information on the ongoing projects. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In a continuing effort to improve financial accountability, staff have initiated a number of changes regarding the process of reporting on capital projects. This report is new and is being provided as an update to Council on the status of all approved projects. The 2012 Capital Budget was approved in May 2012. The projects that have been completed as of November 30, 2012 have been identified and will be included in the City's capital assets as part of the year end process. Projects that are not completed will be included in the work in progress account at year end. The final cost summaries of projects identify that some of the completed projects are overspent, while others are underspent. Comments have been provided for all projects. The overspent projects with balances remaining will be funded by capital reserves while projects with surpluses will see these transfer to capital reserves for future projects. BACKGROUND As a continued exercise to improve fiscal reporting staff are providing this report to identify the status of capital projects as at November 30, 2012. The intention is to provide these reports annually. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The projects listed are either completed, have construction in progress, or are in the planning stages. The financial position of each project has been identified for Council. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS This report provides an update on all approved capital projects.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Finance Department F- 2013 -07 Monthly Tax Receivables Report F- 2013 -07 January 22, 2013 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. Outstanding taxes as of December 31, 2012 were $15.9 million compared to $18.1 million in 2011. During December, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 10.7% in 2011 to 9.3% in 2012. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2012. At this stage, 88.1 % of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently twelve 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 2012 improved during the month of December. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at December 31, 2012 are $15.9 million. This represents a decrease from $18.1 million in arrears for the same period in 2011. 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 have decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. 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, 2012, 403 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after twelve months of activity. This table shows 88.1% of the tax accounts or 355 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During December, eleven accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 86.6% (November) to 88.1% (December). January 22, 2013 - 2 - F- 2013 -07 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 December, five properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 7.9% 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 December 31, 2012 is 9.3% which is a decrease from 2011's value of 10.7 %. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Finance F- 2013 -08 2013 Interim Tax Levy F- 2013 -08 January 22, 2013 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2013 Interim Tax Levy calculation and by -law providing for the 2013 Interim Tax Levy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls requires an 2013 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The interim levy is calculated so that property owners will be billed amounts not exceeding one half of the previous years annual taxes. The installment dates for the Interim Levy are February 28th and April 30th BACKGROUND The Municipal Act 2001 provides the City of Niagara Falls with the authority to issue an interim tax levy. Traditionally the interim levy has been made in February with two installment dates. The City of Niagara Falls requires a 2013 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The authority to collect this interim tax levy is prescribed in section 317 of the Municipal Act. The interim tax levy is subject to the following rules: 1. The amount levied on a property shall not exceed the prescribed percentage, or 50 percent if no percentage is prescribed, of the total amount of taxes for municipal and school purposes levied on the property for the previous year. 2. The percentage used in the levy may be different for different classes but must be the same for all properties in a property class. January 22, 2013 - 2 - F- 2013 -08 3. Allows the municipality to use an entire years taxes for a property in the calculation of the interim tax levy in the situation that a full year was not charged in the previous year. Staff has developed the interim tax levy based on these rules and has determined that the amount due for the interim levy for each property will not exceed 50% of the annualized assessment used in determining the 2012 tax levy. The due dates for this interim tax levy are in accordance with the new Municipal Act. The interim bill will be due on two dates. As per the regulations outlined in the new Municipal Act, property owners must be provided 21 days notice before payment. The due dates are consistent with the regulation and will be February 28, 2013 and April 30, 2013. In 2012, these dates were February 29, 2012 and April 30, 2012. An interim levying by -law is required to establish the amount of the interim levy. This has been prepared and appears on this evening's Council Agenda for passage. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The internal need for cashflow and the external statutory obligation necessitate the interim tax levy. Failure to provide an interim tax levy could lead to increased short term borrowing by the Corporation and could result in unplanned interest expenses. An interim tax levy is required to ensure the provision of the required funds to minimize borrowing costs. Recommended by: Todd Harrison, irector o Finance Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer A. Felicetti Niagara,Falls REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works Department SUBJECT: MW- 2013 -02 Consultant Selection Policy MW- 2013 -02 January 22, 2013 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve an amendment to the Consulting Selection Policy to increase the amount for direct appointments of consultants on a corporate -wide basis from $60,000 to $100,000. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of the Consultant Selection Policy is to establish a consistent, expedient and transparent process for the engagement of external professional services. Staff are proposing a more streamlined approach to facilitate the engagement of qualified firms with industry best practices. Direct appointment for assignments up to $100,000 will enable staff to improve Capital project delivery by reducing the time currently spent in the procurement process. The amendment to the policy includes a post - project performance evaluation which will be used to identify opportunities for improvement and subsequent eligibility to remain on the City's Pre - Qualification Roster. BACKGROUND Occasionally it is necessary to engage the professional services of qualified firms to provide technical advice and resources where the capacity or expertise is not immediately available from within the Corporation. In these cases, it is important to follow a consistent procedure that allows qualified firms to compete for the assignment based on an established selection process. The process must be stream -lined to allow staff both the flexibility and authority to select the best qualified firm with due regard for transparency, risk and accountability within the scope of the Corporate Purchasing policy. The engagement of professional services is not the same as the purchase of goods and therefore the selection process should not be contingent solely on price. The Niagara area is well - served by local consulting firms that provide a wide range of expertise. Since 2005 City staff have been directly appointing consultants for projects where it is anticipated that the consulting fees will total $60,000 or less. This practice has proceeded January 22, 2013 - 2 - MW- 2013 -02 without controversy during that time. Over time, the effects of inflation and the increase in the hourly billing rates of the consultants has significantly reduced the amount of actual consultants work that can be obtained for $60,000. Accordingly, staff are requesting an update to the purchasing policy to allow for direct appointment of consultants for amounts up to $100,000. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE This increase in the permitted ceiling for direct appointments will greatly increase the efficiency of the construction process and any other process requires consulting fees of at or below this limit. Projects can be delayed as much as four months while a formal procurement process is conducted. The four month delay can mean the difference as to whether a particular project can be competed during that calendar year's construction season. As has been the practice under the existing $60,000 limit, costs will be kept in check by staff soliciting competing consultants when it appears that the initial consultant contracted is quoting fees that appear to be excessive. To further ensure that the City is obtaining value for money for its consultant services, staff recommend implementing an evaluation system. Using the attached documentation, it is proposed that the valuation of the consultant's performance be included at the completion of every project for which a consultant is retained. The evaluations will be reviewed by staff on a regular basis and used to make determinations of whether or not it is appropriate to retain a particular consultant for the particular project. The current consultant retention process causes further delays in the procurement process because of the time required to prepare a formal contract. In order to reduce the time required to enter into a contract with the consultant, staff have developed the attached purchase order. The purchase order is intended to be attached to a detailed proposal prepared by the consultant. This form of record of contract has been used by the city in the purchase of goods for many years. Some of the transactions involves goods such as fire engines and transit buses. Over time, the purchase order form of contract appears to have been adequate for that purpose, staff believe that the purchase order form of contract could prove itself equally adequate for consulting contracts under $100,000 in value. Some consulting contracts have been awarded using the City's existing purchase order (which is designed for the purchase of goods). Those contracts have been performed without incident. The new form is specifically designed to address the retention of a consultant. To ensure that the assignments are fairly distributed the policy includes provisions that limit the award of consulting services assignments using a direct appointment process to a maximum of $100,000 at any given time. That is, at any given time during the calendar year no consultant will receive direct appointments for projects totalling $100,000 or greater. January 22, 2013 - 3 - MW- 2013 -02 Each Director is responsible for maintaining a roster (list) of firms that have the necessary qualifications and resources to complete assignments and have a proven track record of performance. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS This policy is applicable to those projects that have been approved by Council in a Capital Budget. The Purchasing Policy with respect to approval levels for expenditures remains unchanged. Council is required to approve any expenditures over $100,000. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The engagement of an external firm is a contractual arrangement that is legally binding on both parties. The Consulting Agreement Purchase Order contains standard terms that clarify the responsibility of each party. Under the terms of this policy the Chief Administrative Officer has the authority to sign this document on behalf of the Corporation. The standard Consulting Services Agreement requires Council approval due the amount of the expenditure (over $100,000) and the need to pass a by -law. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with Council's Strategic priorities by focussing on continuous improvement, providing valued services and excellent customer service.

Occasionally it is necessary to engage the professional services of qualified firms to provide technical advice and resources where the capacity or expertise is not immediately available from within the Corporation. In these cases, it is necessary to follow a consistent procedure that provides qualified firms to compete for the assignment based on an established selection process. The process must be stream -lined to allow staff the authority to select the best qualified firm with due regard for transparency, risk and accountability within the scope of the Corporate Purchasing policy. The engagement of professional services is not the same as the purchase of goods and therefore the selection process is not contingent solely on price. Finally, the engagement of an external firm is a contractual arrangement that is legally binding on both parties. As such, it is necessary to include formal documentation that fairly shares the risk and responsibility tailored to the scope and scale of the project assignment. For this reason the procedures for consultant selection and engagement vary dependent on the complexity and estimated value of the service provided. Procedure Process — Selection of Firm A. Direct Assignments For assignments where the fees are expected to be below $100,000 staff shall use a Qualification Based Selection (QBS) process and have the discretion to assign a project to the firm who has experience, knowledge, capacity and whose past performance is consistent with the City's Corporate values. The procedure for direct assignments involves the following steps: 1. Introductory meeting with the Project Manager to discuss the scope, schedule, budget and expected deliverables of the assignment.

Issuance of a Purchase Order (See Attachment C). 4. The Director and Project Manager will conduct an interview with the consultant upon completion of the assignment to review opportunities for improvement and continued eligibility to participate in the Direct Assignment process and remain on the Pre - Qualification roster. B. Request for Proposals For assignments where the fees are expected to exceed $100,000, staff shall use a Value Based Selection (VBS) process which involves the selection of a competing firm on the basis of its experience and not just the prices of its services. In order to make this process objective and transparent the City's Project Manager will provide: 1. Notification posted on the City's web site inviting firms to submit proposals. 2. Background information providing an overview of the project. 3. Terms of Reference clarifying the expectations and required deliverables needed to successfully complete the assignment. 4. List of supporting documentation available. Three (3) copies of the proposals are to be submitted. The proposal shall include items listed hereunder but also include other considerations based on the consultants understanding of the project. The consultant is requested to submit a work plan in a sealed envelope marked "Proposal" which should include: • A brief proposal, maximum fifteen (15) pages not including the covering letter, resumes and company credentials.

The consultant shall note that the City of Niagara Falls will consider the estimated total engineering services fees for this project as an upset limit based on the proposed work plan and schedule and will not consider extra fees unless prior written approval is received from the City of Niagara Falls. Extra items will only be considered if they are outside of the original scope of work. Late or misdirected proposals will not be considered and will be returned unopened to the proponent. Submissions by facsimile will not be accepted. Eligible proposals will be evaluated on the basis of ten (10) qualification criteria. The weighted score is calculated for each submission. The summary of the analysis is completed on the Evaluation Sheet (see Attachment B). Those submissions that cannot be successful based on the weighted score of items one to nine will have their respective Cost Estimate envelope returned unopened.

Requests for Proposals The formal contract between the City and the consultant through the proposal process will be formalized through the standard Consulting Agreement (see Attachment D). Process — Expressions of Interest In situations where consulting services require an element of creativity or where the anticipated outcomes or deliverables cannot be clearly defined a two -stage process of pre - qualification will be used to short -list the number of qualified firms. The first stage involves the advertisement of project and the City's intent to receive an Expression of Interest. Those firms deemed to have satisfied the initial eligibility criteria will be selected to submit a more detailed proposal (Le. second stage). The selection criteria are identical to the Value Based Selection process with the exception that the cost factor is considered regardless of the weighted score. This policy is intended to be read in addition to the City's Corporate Supply and Services Policy (2004). C. Consultant Performance Evaluation Staff will complete the Consultant Performance Evaluation (see Attachment E).

Revised: January 8, 2013 MW-2013-03 Niagara,Falls January 22, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works Department SUBJECT: MW-2013-03 Bridgewater Street Extension Construction Development Agreement - George and Valerie Rowe RECOMMENDATION 1. That the City enter into a Development Agreement with the adjacent landowner, George and Valerie Rowe that would provide for the construction of a road extension and turnaround to City standards. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary Development Agreement. And that the City construct the turn around at the City's expense. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owners of vacant land on the east side of Bridgewater Street, south of Sophia Avenue wish to apply for a building permit to construct a new single family home. The portion of the Bridgewater Street road allowance that fronts this lot is not improved to an acceptable City standard. The City's Zoning By-law requires 12 m of lot frontage on an improved street. In these situations the property owner is required to enter into a Development Agreement with the City to improve the roadway at the owners expense (estimated to cost $25,000). Municipal Works staff have identified a need to construct a proper turning facility at this location and have prepared engineering designs and cost estimates. The cost of constructing these works is approximately $37,100 which staff are proposing to share equally with the proponents. The proponents have indicated their willingness to proceed but have asked that this project be considered for inclusion in the upcoming Development Charges By-law review. The purpose of this report is to seek Council's direction to prepare and execute a Development Agreement that sets out the terms and conditions for payment by George and Valerie Rowe for the extension of Bridgewater Street in Chippawa. BACKGROUND The landowners initially filed an application for the severance of their lots described as lot 80 and Part lot 82 Registered Plan 251 in the Village of Chippawa. This application has been allowed to lapse but the landowners intend to construct a house across the two lots. The existing lot does not meet the zoning regulation requiring a minimum lot frontage of January 22, 2013 - 2 - MW- 2013 -03 The existing lot does not meet the zoning regulation requiring a minimum lot frontage of 12.2 meters (40 feet) adjacent to an improved road. As well the existing road terminus does not meet the current City standard to allow for vehicular turnaround movements within the road allowance. There are currently six Tots that are located south -west of Sophia Avenue which would benefit by construction of a proper turnaround as there is single access via Bridgewater Street to these lots. In addition waste collection, winter maintenance and emergency vehicles would be able to access this area without reversing for long distances or risk turning in private driveways. Staff have meet with Mr. and Mrs. Rowe on a number of occasions. Their request is summarized in the attached letter (see Attachment #1). ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Municipal Works staff have finalized the turnaround design and are recommending that this project be incorporated into the Capital Budget as a City- initiated project. The proposed cost - sharing arrangement will split the actual cost of construction on an equal basis (i.e. $18,850 each). This proposal reduces the opportunity cost that the Rowe's would have otherwise had to spend and helps to address an existing sub - standard situation in this area of the community. The proponent's request to include this project in the City's next Development Charges By- law is possible but cannot be guaranteed. While the proponents make an interesting point regarding the benefit this new turnaround facility will be for the community, the recent Peer Review of the Development Charge (DC) By -law has recommended that; • "the definition of a "Local Service" be developed before the next DC Study update • the City consider refining definitions to maximize the recovery through Subdivision Agreements • the City ensure projects that have a DC- recoverable share be included in the DC Background Study; and • Agreements that include provisions for DC credits address the timing of credits, including interest, maximums, etc." To make any commitment beyond a simple "agreement to consider" the inclusion of this project in the next DC review is not advisable as the By -law process allows submissions and scrutiny from the public and other development stakeholders. If Mr. and Mrs. Rowe require certainty on this matter then it is advisable that they wait until the new DC By -law is passed and the appeal period expired. If they wish to proceed now, then staff recommend the proponents enter into a Development Agreement containing the following provisions: 1. Provide a letter of credit in the amount of $18,550 representing their share of the actual costs associated with the proposed construction. 2. Execution of the Development Agreement will allow them to apply for a residential building permit. January 22, 2013 - 3 - MW- 2013 -03 3. The City will include the cost of construction in a future Capital Budget and agree to refund 50% of the actual cost of completing the work. 4. The property owners agree to pay the applicable Development Charge fee at the time of permit issuance. If the turnaround project is subsequently included in the new Development Charge By -law then the City will return the letter of credit upon receipt of payment for any funds equal to the difference between the new and old DC rate. 5. The City makes no guarantees, commitments or assurances that the project will be included in the new DC By -law. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The execution of the Agreement will commit the City to a net expenditure of $18,550 in its 2014 Capital Budget. Given the scope of the work, an expenditure of this scale can be accommodated in the annual Capital Works program. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Development Agreement will contain standard provisions for the payment of security. The City will tender and contract the work as part of the annual Capital Works program. The fully executed agreement will facilitate the issuance of the required Building Permit. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendation is consistent with Council's Strategic Priorities to establish infrastructure investment priorities and to continue to monitor the efficiency of the organization.

In order to obtain a building permit we are required to bring the existing City road & hammerhead up to City Standards. Geoff Holman, Rick Volpini and crew have been very diligent in providing us with possible solutions to assist us in moving forward. As per our meetings and discussions, we wish to enter into an agreement that would enable us to obtain a building permit prior to road improvements which would then be completed after construction of the home. We would like to have the City include the upgrade to the road in the development charges study which is currently under way. We feel that these improvements benefit the rest of the residents on the street as well as ourselves. These improvements are needed to facilitate the safe egress of emergency vehicles at the end of the street. We mutually agreed that the proposed water main loop would be removed and a 2" blow -off value would be installed at the end of the water line at the owner's expense. The said water line would be installed by the owner at commencement of construction of the home. The owner is responsible for installing sanitary sewer & riser to existing man -hole.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW- 2013 -04 Oneida Lane Reconstruction Contract #2012 - 201 -08 - Tender Award MW- 2013 -04 January 22, 2013 RECOMMENDATION 1. The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder, O'Hara Trucking & Excavating, at the tendered price of $497,740.33. 2. That Council increase the approved budget from $397,000 to $575,740 as identified. 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff completed the design and contract documents for the proposed reconstruction of Oneida Lane. The watermain and sanitary sewer were identified by our Infrastructure Group as needing replacement. Tenders for this contract were opened on Thursday January 10, 2013 and the lowest bid of $497,740.33 was received from O'Hara Trucking and Excavating and is being recommended for acceptance. The tendered price has exceeded the original estimated cost. Similarly after consultation with Clifton Hilll BIA, decorative lighting has been included in the scope of work. These additional costs have been funded mostly by contributions from the BIA and an increase of the funding from capital asset reserves. BACKGROUND The watermain on Oneida Lane is in very poor condition. There have been several watermain breaks on this main in the last few years. This disrupts the commercial businesses in the area as service is interrupted and the lane is closed while the repairs are completed. The sanitary sewer on Oneida Lane is also in poor condition and has been identified as needing replacement. January 22, 2013 -2- MW- 2013 -04 The existing road is stamped coloured concrete that has several asphalt patches from the watermain breaks and other infrastructure work that has taken place. This reduces the ride quality of the road and is an on going maintenance issue for our operations staff. The Clifton Hill Business Improvement Area (BIA) would also like to complete some streetscaping work by installing new decorative light poles on the lane. These poles will be the same as poles on the west side of Clifton Hill, creating a consistent streetscape in the area. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the Deputy Clerk, Mr. Bill Matson, the Manager of Supply and Services, Mr. Ray Miller, and the Project Manager Mr. Chris Anders, opened tenders on Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. for the above noted contract. Tender documents were picked up by eleven (11) Contractors and five (5) bids were received. Listed below is a summary of the totalled tendered prices, excluding HST, received from the Contractors. The tenders were checked and the corrected bids are shown in bold. Firm City Tender Price Corrected Bid 1. O'Hara Trucking & Excavating St. Catharines $496,218.29 2. Peters Excavating Stevensville $523,000.00 3. Nexterra Substructures Inc Niagara Falls $610,783.55 4. Alfidome Construction Ltd Niagara Falls Informal Tender 5. Sacco Construction Niagara Falls Informal Tender $497,740.33 The submissions received from Sacco Construction and Alfidome Construction Ltd were deemed to be informal tenders. The tender contained strikeouts that were not initialled and Sacco Construction did not provide a unit price for item B24. Under the Niagara Peninsula Standard Contract Documents (NPSCD) Section 4.0 Instructions for Bidders subsection 6.0, the following constitute an informal tender: A tender shall be rejected as informal for any of the following reasons: a) Late bid b) Incorrect tender form or envelope c) Bids completed in pencil d) Incomplete bids, including failure to include addendum e) Bids with qualifications f) Bids not signed and /or sealed g) Erasures, overwriting or strikeouts not initialled Tender award will be made on the basis of the specified items. Items d) and g) apply to the submissions provided making them informal tenders. This matter was reviewed by the City Solicitor and the City Clerk. January 22, 2013 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE -3- MW- 2013 -04 The lowest tender was received from O'Hara Trucking & Excavating in the amount of $497,740.33. This contractor has performed similar type projects for the City. We are of the opinion that this contractor is capable of successfully undertaking this project. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS This project was approved in the 2012 Capital Budget at $397,000 but was deferred at the request of the business owners to accommodate construction of the "Whoopsie House" and to coordinate the construction around the tourist season and special events in the area. The total project cost sharing including provisions for the electrical work and decorative streetlighting is $575,740.33. Original Revised Estimated Project Cost $397,000 $497,740 Additional Scope: Decorative Lighting $0 $ 78,000 Total $397,000 $575,740 2012 Approved Revised Funding Sources: Capital Asset Reserve $125,250 $154,420 Transfer from Operating $271,750 $271,750 External Contributions (Clifton Hill BIA) $0 $142,712 Cogeco Cable $0 $6,858 Total $397,000 $575,740 Staff recommend the funding shortfall of $36,029 be allocated from the Capital Holding Reserve.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Planning, Building & Development PBD- 2013 -07 Request for Funding under the Niagara Region's Public Domain Incentives Program RECOMMENDATION That Council support, by resolution, an application to the Regional Municipality of Niagara for funding assistance of $100,000 under their Public Domain Incentives Program for the Lundy's Lane Gateway Project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since 2007, the Regional Municipality of Niagara has invited local municipalities to apply for funding under their Public Domain Incentives Program. This program provides up to $100,000 for municipalities carrying out improvements in areas deemed to be within the public domain. Through this report, staff is requesting Council's support, by way of a resolution, for an application that will request funds for the Lundy's Lane Gateway Project. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The City is currently planning a major entrance feature in the Lundy's Lane Battlefield area. The project is located within the public realm and will require funding assistance. The Lundy's Lane Gateway satisfies many of the eligibility criteria of the Region's Public Domain Incentives Fund. For example, the project is located on public lands, it is situated within a Community Improvement Plan Area, involves heritage, and includes public /private partnerships. The project will be situated along Lundy's Lane which is a Regional Road. Therefore, the gateway will be located on Regional property. The Lundy's Lane Gateway is a project that has been discussed for many years. With the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Lundy's Lane in July 2014, the timing is well suited to see this project come to fruition. A major funding contributor to this project is the Lundy's Lane BIA who has donated $100,000 and committed an additional $50,000. In 2012, City Council approved $30,000 for the design work of the gateway. As Council is aware, an Ad Hoc Committee was formed last fall to develop a design of the gateway. The Committee consists of representatives from the Lundy's Lane and Main and Ferry BIA's, Niagara Falls Heritage Committee, Niagara Falls Historic Museum and Friends of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield. The Committee recently assisted staff in preparing a January 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD- 2013 -07 Request For Proposal which invited architectural and design firms to submit an interest in preparing a conceptual design for the gateway. A total of 13 submissions were made and the Committee narrowed the selection to three firms to submit design concepts. The submissions were due on January 11th and are now being evaluated by the Committee. The preferred concept which will include preliminary cost estimates will be presented to Council in the near future. The initial project budget was estimated at $250,000. Through the concept preparation stage, it is believed that the gateway will be substantially more than this figure. An increase of $100,000 would allow for a more prominent gateway that would provide a greater impact in recognizing this national historic site. The request for funding is due to the Region by February 1, 2013. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As noted previously, the Lundy's Lane BIA has provided $100,000 for the project and committed an additional $50,000. As a major donor, endorsement of the final gateway concept will be required from the Lundy's Lane BIA. Council approved $30,000 in 2012 for design work. A requirement of the Regional Funding Program is a matching amount from the participating municipality. If the City receives approval of Regional Funding, and matches the Regional funds, the amount of funding available for the project including the Lundy's Lane BIA contribution will be $350,000. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Lundy's Lane Gateway project satisfies the City's strategic commitment by reinvesting within the Historic Drummondville CIP area. The consideration by Council in supporting a resolution to apply for Regional funding is appreciated.

The annual SNIP budget is used primarily to fund the Region's matching contribution to local community improvement plan programs throughout the year. At year end when funding for the SNIP still remains, initiatives such as public domain improvements are brought forward and considered by Regional Council for funding. Based on a review of the 2012 budget there are available funds to accommodate a call for public domain projects. If your municipality is interested in this funding opportunity please submit an application to the undersigned by February 1, 2013. It is anticipated that the selected projects will be awarded by April 2013. For those applications that are approved by Regional Council the Region will provide a grant on a cost shared basis with the local municipality.
