NEW BUSINESS TS-2013-31 Niagarajalls July 9, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-31 Portage Road Speed Control Follow Up Review RECOMMENDATIONS 1) The speed hump nearest to Stamford Green Drive be removed; 2) An all-way stop control be installed at the intersection of Portage Road and Stamford Green Drive, on an interim basis; 3) In addition to the all-way stop, painted white edge lines be applied on Portage Road between Church's Lane and St. Paul Avenue; 4) The all-way stop be monitored for a six-month period; 5) Pending the outcome of the six-month evaluation period, if unsuccessful, the road narrowing and mountable centre median alternative be referred to the 2014 Capital Budget deliberations for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff have been asked to consider the removal of the speed hump nearest to Stamford Green Drive and look at alternative methods to address speeding along Portage Road. An alternative that may be an effective method in reducing traffic speeds would be permanent road narrowing along with a mountable centre median. As an interim step, the installation of an all-way stop control at Stamford Green Drive and Portage Road, along with painted white edge lines between Church's Lane and St. Paul Avenue, be undertaken and monitored for a six-month period to evaluate its effectiveness. If effective, the all-way stop solution be considered permanent, and if ineffective, the road narrowing solution be included in the 2014 budget deliberations. BACKGROUND City Council, at their May 14, 2013 meeting, directed Staff to evaluate two options to replace the speed hump nearest to Stamford Green Drive: narrow the road or install an all- way stop control. No changes were requested to the speed hump nearest to Mayfair Drive. July 9, 2013 -2- TS-2013-31 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Alternative to Speed Humps: Construct Road Narrowing Devices Removing the southern speed hump and replacing it with traffic calming devices that reduce the width of the road was investigated. The evaluation took into account the location of driveways and public utilities so that the recommended plan would not adversely affect access. Further, school bus drivers for the day care stop on Portage Road; a road narrowing would not be suitable directly in front of the day care facility. The most feasible alternative would be replacing the southern speed hump with a mountable centre median and construct curb extensions on both sides of Portage Road between Carman Street and Stamford Green Drive narrowing the road to 6.0 metres. Devices that deflect vehicles horizontally are most effective when used in combination with other devices. Therefore, having only either the mountable median or the road narrowing chicane would not be as effective if placed in isolation. The mountable median island and curb extensions will require northbound drivers to perform a slight slalom manoeuvre before encountering the northern speed hump. Given the existing traffic volumes on Portage Road, the lateral clearance reductions would be an effective method in reducing traffic speeds, though they would not be as effective in controlling driver speeds as if the speed hump was maintained. Vertical deflections, i.e., speed humps have proven to be most effective in reducing speeds. The financial implications for this alternative are approximately $25,000. This was not accounted for in the 2013 budget thus, it is recommended this project be referred to the 2014 Capital Budget for consideration. Interim Alternative: Remove Southern Speed Hump and Install an All-Way Stop at Stamford Green Drive and Paint White Edge Lines on Portage Road to Narrow the Traffic Lanes Removing the southern speed hump without replacing it with another comparable device would not fulfill the desired effect of slowing traffic to/below the speed limit in front of the daycare. Replacing the southern speed hump with an all-way stop at the intersection of Portage Road at Stamford Green Drive would result in motorists reducing their speed as they would be required by law to stop. In addition to the all-way stop, painted white edge lines can be applied on Portage Road between Church's Lane and St. Paul Avenue to narrow the traffic lanes. The lines would be offset 3.25 metres from the existing yellow centre line. This would reduce the wide 4.75 metre lanes (from centre line to edge of the curb) to defined travel lanes. The disadvantage with painted edge lines is that they are a passive form of traffic calming, requiring no specific action to be carried out by the driver other than to stay between the lines. Furthermore, the lines are obscured in the winter months when the road is covered with snow. Thus, it is important to augment the edgelines with the all-way stop. July 9, 2013 -3- TS-2013-31 The cost to remove the southern speed hump is estimated at$1,500. To install the all-way stop is estimated at$4,500. Edgeline painting is estimated at$500. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Removing the southern speed hump and installing the all-way stop and pavement markings is estimated at $6,500. The all-way stop and pavement markings are budgeted for in the 2013 Operating Budget. No funds have been allocated for the removal of the speed hump of$1,500. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, which include developing and implementing a comprehensive Transportation Plan.

Your Traffic Specialists informed us that the median speed on this stretch of road was 78k/hour and made recommendations to Council that were approved and implemented. We assumed that City Staff- who are very professional and efficient by the way - knew that some mitigation measures were required. Council seemed to agree and spent significant monies and the reduction in speeding was quite noticeable. Then,we witnessed the southern hump being removed and lowered - at a cost of $10,000. We were not asked, informed or apprised of the reasons for that expenditure. We assumed that City Staff assessed the results and came up with a better solution to address excess speed. However, in our opinion, speed on has once again increased. When you are considering the methods of controlling this section of Portage Road, we reiterate our concerns: Speed control and safety MUST be the primary focus. Has there really been a significant increase in the noise level - who measured it? Does it exceed City By-Law or any roadway standards in Ontario? Did the noise level increase by a significant amount and can this be proven with facts, not opinions. Speed is the cause of noise on Portage Road, as we have all seen vehicles leave the ground as they speed over the humps. We also live in these neighbourhoods and walk on these streets. Yes, the noise of an unsecured lawnmower bouncing over the humps is annoying. But it is better than the raceway we lived on before.We all chose to live on Portage Road, not a cul-de- sac with no traffic. This is an enforcement issue are well as a speed management one. However, in our unprofessional opinion, a standard radar setup would require a fleet of chase vehicles and a parking lot to stack all the cars that exceed the set limit.We again offer our property to house a photo radar station. We DO NOT want big signs telling people to slow down, we want them to slow down. We DO NOT want a sign telling people how fast they are going. We all want quiet enjoyment of our homes. We all want the speed on Portage controlled. We do not, however want further expenditures of tax dollars to reduce the effectiveness of the original speed control measures. We assumed that the original recommendation of City Staff that produced a substantial decrease in speed was the best solution.We are obviously wrong. If you are going to rethink Staffs recommendations again, we suggest that a 3-way stop be installed at Stamford Green and Portage as a simple, cost effective way of controlling speed.

If at all possible could you please give a copy of this email to Mr. lorfida as I will not be able at this time to attend the City Council meeting on this matter. I feel that if the City is not going to raise the speed bumps further to help slow traffic then I would support the following action. I know that City money is tight and that you only have so much in a budget to spend, so I feel that if you were to only install an all way stop at the intersection of Portage Road and Stamford Green Drive this would slow the traffic considerably and give you the most positive results for your dollar at minimal cost. The bottom line here I feel is the safety of the children and parents that use the Day Care daily in this area, as well as the residents who live on Portage Road where there is a hollow in the street. I know that before the City took any action in this matter the speed of the traffic was out of control, and that it was only a matter of time before there was a serious accident. I thank you for your concern in this matter and look forward to hearing how you choose to resolve this issue so we can lay it to rest. Thank you again for your time.

There is a steady flow of traffic on this road with a constant thump. thud, and huge crash as you already know. The trucks are getting to be more and more with trailers large and small trailing on the back full of lawn equipment etc. School busses even empty come crashing over these things. A sign in front of the nursery school with a warning of children would have been sufficient. Checanes( if spelled properly) are the only answer to this problem. Please put the cost aside for the sanity of the neighbours here. No one should have the authority to make people's lives miserable. The person who or persons who allowed these speed humps knew the problems with unacceptable noise but cost was the only priority. There is a silent person who is suffering as Ijust found out but won't say anything because he is a renter and doesn't want problems with his landlord. Also his rent is low and he can walk to everything. Bev Hodgson can't say anything because she represents the nursery school. The workers there and the kids don't have to live there and hear all this upsetting racket. This south hump has got to go. You have my invitation to come and sit on the front porch of my house to experience this first hand. Any takers?

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-46 New Draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law For the City of Niagara Falls RECOMMENDATION That Council support the circulation of the new draft Comprehensive Zoning By-law to review agencies and the implementation of a public consultation process in order to obtain comments. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A new Comprehensive Zoning By-law has been in the preparation stage for a number of years. The City currently has four different by-laws that cover the limits of the City. The new Zoning By-law will create one clear, concise and more user friendly by-law for the entire City and includes more modern day standards that will assist new development. It is desirable for the City to obtain agency comments and input from the public. This report includes a number of steps that staff wish to carry out in order to seek public input and staff would appreciate Council's support to move forward with this process. BACKGROUND The City hired Monteith Planning Consultants in 2002 to prepare the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. While work progressed and a draft By-law prepared, staff continued to make refinements and also prepared occasional general amendments to the existing By- law 79-200. A final draft By-law for the entire City is now complete. Various City Department's have provided input into the draft By-law and Information Systems has updated the map schedules. The next step is to circulate the by-law to agencies for comment and obtain public input. Staff is proposing an extensive public consultation process which includes the following: • placing a full page advertisement in the Niagara Falls Review describing the purpose of the zoning by-law and highlighting the major components; • having extra copies of the advertisement available at various City venues; • place the Comprehensive Zoning By-law on the City's Web Site where citizens can view the zoning of their property; and • make presentations and host a series of public open houses in September, 2013. July 9, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-46 ANALYSIS Following the circulation of the By-law to agencies and gathering public input, Planning Staff will provide a summary to Council with recommended revisions. It is expected that the time to receive comments and compile changes, may take an additional six months of processing time. It is hoped that the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law can be brought forward for a public meeting under the Planning Act, and considered for adoption by Council, at the end of this year or early in 2014. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The costs associated with the reproduction, circulation and advertising of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law will be covered within the Planning, Building &Development Department's Operating Budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT It is one of the Strategic Priorities of Council to focus on providing a Well Planned City. The approval of a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law which sets out proper building standards, reduces land use conflicts and promotes well designed and efficient development, will satisfy the strategic priority of Council.

I have often hoped that the countless times I have discussed my roots with students, colleagues,judges and jurors, that the lessons learned and my great affection for Niagara would resonate with my friends "back home". You may be interested to know that the walls of my office display several important Niagara paintings including a recent major work by Stev'nn Hall, a photo of which is attached. I also have a number of Bartlett prints as well as an engraving of Church's "Great Niagara". I truly have strong feelings about my background in the Falls, my three summers as a tour driver and the great kindness and encouragement of a community that provided us with the opportunity to succeed. I have even, on occasion, considered seeking an appointment to the Niagara Parks Commission as an expression of my appreciation for all that Niagara gave to me. Although Eddie is away this week, I was able to reach him to attempt to coordinate a time to join you at a Council meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • In 2012, Council passed three site specific zoning by-laws to allow the development of three high-rise hotels and/or apartment buildings on the subject lands shown on Schedule 1. • Council included Holding (H) provisions in all three by-laws to ensure the completion of a Stage 4 Archaeological Assessment prior to development taking place. The applicant recently completed a Stage 4 Archaeological Assessment to the satisfaction of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. • Council included an additional Holding (H) provision in the by-law(By-law No. 2012- 82) for the southernly building to require the completion of a microclimate study to determine what was required to mitigate pedestrian level wind impacts around the Our Lady of Peace Chapel on the abutting property to the south, with the mitigation measures secured in an agreement. The applicant has satisfactorily completed a microclimate study to address the mitigation of wind impacts and has entered into an agreement to provide the recommended mitigation measures. • The Holding (H) provisions can be lifted from all three by-laws because the requirements of the (H) holding provisions have been met to the satisfaction of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture and the City. July 9, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-49 BACKGROUND Proposal In 2012, Council passed Zoning By-law Nos. 2012-80, 2012-81 and 2012-82 to implement the approval of a development proposal for the former Loretto Academy property. The proposal included the retention and conservation of the former Loretto Academy building and the development of 42 storey, 57 storey and 32 storey hotels and/or apartment buildings. The three by-laws include Holding (H) provisions requiring the completion of a Stage 4 Archaeological Assessment to the satisfaction of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. In addition, By-law No. 2012-82 (affecting the southernmost parcel of the former Loretto land holdings) includes an additional provision requiring the completion of a microclimate study to determine what is required to mitigate pedestrian level wind impacts around the Our Lady of Peace Chapel on the abutting property to the south and to secure these mitigation measures in an agreement. The landowner has addressed the matters covered by the Holding (H) provisions and is requesting them to be lifted to permit the development to proceed. Circulation Comments The Planning Act requires notice of the lifting of an H symbol be given to landowners affected by the H symbol and any members of the public or agencies that have submitted a written request for notice of the lifting of the H symbol. In accordance with these regulations, notice regarding the lifting of the H symbol was circulated the owner of the subject lands. Notice was also sent to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture, the Regional Municipality of Niagara and the owner of the Our Lady of Peace Chapel as a courtesy. No comments have been received to date. ANALYSIS Previous archaeological assessments conducted by the applicant's archaeologist identified two areas of significant of archaeological interest on the lands (loci), to the north and east of the former Loretto Academy building. These assessments recommended that a Stage 4 Archaeological Assessment be undertaken for these two areas. The Stage 4 Archaeological Assessment was completed earlier this year by the applicant's archaeologist. The loci were subject to an extensive salvage excavation which resulted in the recovery of approximately 50,000 artifacts. This Assessment concluded that there was no further heritage interest with thse loci, and that the site could be considered free of archaeological concerns. The Assessment was submitted to the Ministry, who subsequently issued a letter of acceptance. The construction of the most southerly of the three buildings has the potential to create uncomfortable wind conditions around the Our Lady of Peace Chapel. Therefore the applicant's microclimate consultant conducted a further review and concluded that planting trees and the construction of a wood fence to the south-west of the Chapel would mitigate these potential impacts. The owner of the Chapel property, the Catholic Diocese of St. Catharines, agrees to these measures. The applicant has entered into an agreement with the City to provide these mitigation measures in a future site plan agreement. July 9, 2013 -3 - PBD-2013-49 As the requirements of the Holding provisions have been met, they can be lifted from the subject lands. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Removal of the H symbol will allow the development, as approved by Council and permitted by the Official Plan, to proceed.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-21 Niagara Gateway Economic Zone Community Improvement Plan for Niagara Falls RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Niagara Gateway Economic Zone Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City of Niagara Falls and pass the by-law listed on tonight's agenda to adopt the CIP. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Gateway Economic Zone Community Improvement Plan (CIP) was prepared by the Niagara Region as a response to a recommendation made in the Niagara Gateway Economic Zone and Centre Report prepared in December, 2008 which stated the Region will work with area municipalities to create an attractive investment climate for its employment lands". Employment lands are those that are designated for employment uses in local Official Plans and include industrial and non-retail commercial areas. It is anticipated that the Gateway Community Improvement Plan could affect the development of the City's employment lands and the revitalization and strengthening of the local economy through possible financial incentives. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Region prepared the Gateway CIP to help stimulate economic development within five municipalities being Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Thorold and Welland. Section 106 of the Municipal Act allows local municipalities to exercise powers under Section 28 of the Planning Act to add provisions to their Official Plan to prepare and adopt Community Improvement Plans. The Niagara Region cannot adopt their own CIP. Therefore, the Region has requested that each municipality approve the CIP as their own. The text of the CIP was changed to reflect the City of Niagara Falls. The Gateway CIP will affect all employment lands within the City's urban area boundaries with added incentives for employment lands identified as "strategic locations for investment". The strategic locations are shown in Appendix 1 and include the former CN lands south of Buttrey Street and two industrial areas along the QEW corridor being the Kent Avenue area and area south of Lundy's Lane. July 9, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-21 The Gateway CIP provides two financial incentive programs to be applied in areas designated for employment uses. First, is a Tax Increment Based Grant to stimulate new investment by existing and new businesses. The incentive program is designed to phase in the property tax increases which result from redevelopment and reassessment of the property. The duration of the grant payments is up to 10 years in the "strategic locations for investment". The grant will be a 50/50 split between the City and the Region. The second incentive program is a Development Charge Grant for applications that qualify as "exceptional projects". Although Niagara Falls does not apply DC's for industrial development and this program would have no effect in those areas, the City does apply DC's for commercial development and commercial employment uses such as office building will benefit from the program. The administration of the program is to be shared jointly between the local municipality and the Region. The Gateway CIP contains a set of General Program Requirements. The Region is preparing a Program Guide which will more fully describe the types of development and redevelopment to be eligible for funding. The Guide will also include an application form and sample legal agreement. Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Thorold and Welland are in the process of adopting similar Gateway CIP Policies. The proposed Gateway CIP is attached as Appendix 2. If the Gateway CIP is approved, staff will amend the map in the Official Plan for Community Improvement Areas to add three "strategic locations for investment". FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Tax Increment Based Grant will necessitate that Council refer this program to the 2014 budget to initiate the financial incentive program under the Gateway CIP. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Gateway CIP is intended to stimulate economic development within the City by providing financial incentives to those lands within the urban area that are designated for employment use. Under the City's Strategic Priorities for 2011-2014, one of the key areas is Economic Vitality. The approval and implementation of the Gateway CIP is intended to assist in stimulating new employment growth in the City.

June 20,2013 Sent Via Email: diorfada@niagarafalls.ca City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street P.O.Box 1023 Niagara Falls,Ontario L2E 6X5 Attention: Dean Iorfida City Clerk Dear Sir: Re: Marineland of Canada Inc. — Formal Requests re: Portage Road Entrance/Exit As you know, we are the lawyers for Marineland of Canada Inc. Further to the meeting held on June 18, 2013 which was attended by you, Mayor Jim Diodati, John Holer, me and various other parties, I confirm that the discussion at the meeting was focused on safety concerns at the entrance/exit of the Marineland property along Portage Road. Specifically, it appears that pedestrians are getting very close to, and in some instances, touching the vehicles entering into and exiting from Marineland via the Portage Road entrance/exit. This is causing confusion and concern for the drivers of the vehicles, and it creates a dangerous situation for all involved. The proximity of the pedestrians to the vehicular traffic entering and exiting Marineland creates serious safety concerns in relation to (a) the individual pedestrians who are coming into close proximity with the vehicles, (b) the drivers of the vehicles who are being approached by the individuals, and (c) the disruption of the entire line of vehicles in the entranceway and along Portage Road that is caused when some of the vehicles near the front are stopped or slowed down due to the proximity and number of the pedestrians. In order to attempt to address the aforementioned safety concerns, and as discussed at the meeting, Marineland of Canada Inc. hereby makes application for and requests the following from the City of Niagara Falls: 1. The placement of a traffic light/signal at the Marineland Portage Road entrance/exit, which would face south at the intersection of Portage Road and the entrance/exit of Marineland. This traffic light/signal would provide the vehicles exiting Marineland the opportunity to do so safely and without concern for traffic 10 Careen Street PO Box 1360.Sr.Catharines Ontario L20 622 Telephone:9055.686.6655.Facsimile:905.688 5814 4781 Pomage Road,Niagara Falls Ontario 32E 691 Telephone.905.357 0560.Facsimile_905 357 1501 wnwv suIlrvan-mahoney cam F Muratori 1 C.

It is Marineland's belief that such a traffic light will greatly increase safety with respect to both traffic and pedestrians in the area. As discussed at the meeting, Marineland of Canada Inc. would be willing to pay for the reasonable costs of the installation of such a traffic signal. 2. That the small portion of land outlined in the draft surveyor's sketch attached hereto be leased by the City of Niagara Falls to Marineland of Canada Inc. on exactly the same terms and conditions as the lease agreement that has already been entered into between the two parties dated June 12, 2012 (except for the rental rate, which would have to be agreed upon based on the small size of the parcel in question). The intent would be that the lease respecting this small rectangular parcel of property would contain exactly the same terms and conditions as the existing lease dated June 12, 2012, and that the term of the lease for this rectangular parcel would be in lockstep with the existing lease agreement as well. Again, it is Marineland's belief that the granting of such a lease would make that area much safer for both vehicles and pedestrians by providing a "buffer" in that area. Due to the fact that the safety concerns noted above have become a serious issue over the last month especially, Marineland of Canada Inc. requests that the City of Niagara Falls and its council please consider and grant the above requests as quickly as possible. I trust the above is clear, however, if you have any questions or require any further information or documentation,please contact me.

Diodati DATE: July 9, 2013 & Members of Council FROM: Dean lorfida City Clerk Ext. 4271 RE: Vacant Properties Along River Road Attached is a petition from various River Road residents related to the state of a few vacant buildings along River Road. These properties are associated with an approved future development. Property Standards and Fire Prevention have been out in the past and recently re- inspected the properties in question. Applicable staff will continue to monitor the properties to ensure they remain boarded up. At this point, the properties are not structurally unsound to require demolition. We will refer the issue of trespass and break and entry to the Police. Finally, some subsequent recent complaints related to overgrown shrubs along the sidewalks will be dealt with by By-law Services, as per procedures. RECOMMENDATION: For the information of Council. Working Together to Serve Our Community Dean Iorfida From: Alex Herlovitch Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2013 10:12 AM To: Dean Iorfida Cc: Brian Sparks Subject: RE: Abandoned Structures on River Road Dean Brian Sparks. Property Standards Officer, and I had discussed this complaint when it came in. The Property Standards By-law provides that the building be secured which has happened with the boarding-up of windows It is easy to have Brian Sparks continue to do a drive by to ensure the boards are in place. The City would not normally issue orders to demolish unless the buildings were structurally unsound; this is not the case here. Property Standards will continue to work with the Fire Department to monitor the situation. I know the aesthetics of the buildings and the appearance in the neighbourhood are less than desirable, but this is beyond the minimum standards of the by-law.

Thanks, Phil From: Brian Dickson Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 3:49 PM To: Phil Ross Cc: Ben Trendle Subject: RE: Abandoned Structures on River Road Hi Phil, I appreciate you forwarding this concern to me. In terms of what I have planned? Well I can say that as of today all three subject properties are vacant, the utilities are shut-off to the properties, and all three are secured. Thus as single 1 family homes, or vacant buildings they comply with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code, as of today June 26th, 2013. I can sympathizes with the area residents that the three buildings are eyesores, but that is a property standards issue. Weed, uncut grass and such, that they (property standards should be enforcing). We did have a fire in the one building 5491 River Road, before the fire it was checked by us and secure. And it is secure again. I hope this helps, they are on our vacant building list and are checked often.

Lnf;uis General Manager Niagara Parks Commission Re: Abandoned Structures at 5491, 5471 and 5507 River Road (between John and Philip Streets), Niagara Falls 'A c, the undersigned residents, write to express our concern, frustration and dissatisfaction regarding the above noted abandoned structures on the blOCk of River Road between John and Philip Streets. These structures have remained abandoned for approximately ten years. Over the past decade, two separate developments have been proposed for the block of properties. The last proposal for a seven storey apartment complex (by Niagara Falls Pointe Development Limited) was listed in the Residential Developments section of the Annual Niagara Falls Business Development Reports for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Subsequently, no further mention was made of proposed construction on the land in question and it has become apparent that the proposed construction will not achieve fruition. We are unaware of any change in ownership for the properties in question and assume the developer is the current owner of the lands. Over the years, the abandoned houses have deteriorated to the point of having become an extreme eyesore, not only for residents of the area, but for the multitude of tourists who travel that stretch of River Road or their way to the Falls. Considering this block of River Road is adjacent to the tourist district (as well as the proposed twin towers site), we feel council should be taking an active interest in ameliorating the sad condition of these properties It goes without saying that neighbourhood residents are concerned their property values have been negatively impacted as the result of these deteriorating structures. Of even greater conncern for residents. however. are certain events corrected to these structures, including incidents of individuals having entered these abandoned homes to engage in illicit activities, which resu lted in the structures being boarded pup. Despite having been boarded up, problems persist with these abandoned homes.

That Council endorse, and that the municipality participates, in the illegal dumping initiative. 2. That the Council consider a pilot summer anti-dumping crew in the 2014 budget. 3. That the Region's awareness campaign includes more information on waste disposal opportunities. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An Illegal Dumping Working Group from the various municipalities was initiated by the Region. A number of initiatives, emanating from the group, have been approved by Regional Council. The Region is seeking approval of these initiatives by the lower-tier municipalities. City staff has participated in the Illegal Dumping Working Group. Staff is supportive of the initiatives but stress that they are one additional tool in dealing with the issue of illegal dumping. The City of Niagara Falls should also investigate other strategies that get at the source of the problem. BACKGROUND Illegal dumping is a continual challenge for the municipalities in the Niagara Region. Dumping differs from general litter in that the items associated with dumping are not always easily picked up by a pick or hands. Often illegal dumping will require substantial resources for clean up, such as a front end loader. These illegal dump sites often include everything from household waste, contractor material, refrigerators and tires. Not surprisingly, these dump sites tend to be in areas where there is less visibility- rural areas, isolated parks, wooded areas and other remote sites. Besides the cost of cleanup, which is often difficult to estimate as the costs are often a part of general roads' maintenance and not necessarily separated out, illegal dumping poses a threat to both the environment and public health and safety. Illegally, dumped hazardous material can seep into the ground and eventually into water sources or can go directly into streams and rivers. Dumping sites can become breeding grounds for insects and rodents and, they diminish the beauty of life near these areas. July 9, 2013 - 2 - CD-2013-04 The problem of illegal dumping is not isolated to our municipality, although levels of dumping are comparable year by year. Other municipalities in the Region struggle with the same issues. As a result, an Illegal Dumping Working Group (the Group) was set up through the Region with participation of most the municipalities in the Region. The Group is composed of various municipal streets employees and by-law enforcement personnel. The Group has proposed a series of illegal dumping initiatives and a "consistent approach across the Region." ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Regional Initiative The Group is proposing a series of initiatives to deal with the illegal dumping problem. The initiatives are as follows: ✓ an illegal dumping awareness campaign, utilizing municipal websites and social media. ✓ in conjunction with the awareness campaign, anti-dumping signage which will ideally be used by all municipalities in the Region. ✓ identification of illegal dumping "hot spots". ✓ an on-line reporting tool of "hot spots" and of witnessed offences. The Region will deal with offences on Regional roads and forward occurrences on municipal roads or property. ✓ increased fines to $500 and that all lower-tier municipalities follow suit regarding the fine amount. ✓ the implementation of a reward system of$200 for information from a witness that leads to a conviction, compliance or clean-up. The initiative will start with Regional roads with the hope that all lower-tier municipalities will adjust or implement similar by-laws, practices and procedures, so that there is a common approach throughout Niagara. Municipal Strategies Currently, our municipality does not have a specific anti-dumping by-law,though provisions of the City's Encumbrance By-law prohibit dumping on municipal roads. Enforcement of dumping is difficult. Rarely will someone be witnessed or caught in the act of dumping largely due to the remote location where the offence occurs. Also, even a witness of a vehicle licence plate does not necessarily lead to a conviction. Nonetheless, staff has engaged in a number of strategies that have had success. Municipal staff has gone literally gone through garbage bags identifying correspondences with addresses. After finding such information, staff has contacted the alleged offender(s) or sent a letter advising that dumped materials have been found bearing their name. Often there will be denial by the alleged offender or an excuse that they hired someone to take their additional garbage to the dump. Although in these scenarios there is not enough "hard" evidence to lay charges, let alone get a conviction, the message does get out that the municipality is watching. In another scenario, a witness provided a licence plate of someone who dumped grass clippings along the side of the road. The vehicle owner was contacted and admitted the July 9, 2013 - 3 - CD-2013-04 dumping. The individual's rationale was that in light of the Region's contractor no longer picking up clippings, they did not want to have to haul their clippings to the dump. The individual returned to the scene and cleaned up what they had dumped. Other strategies the City has used have included getting barriers installed in areas of chronic dumping. Earlier this year a licence agreement was approved that allowed the gating of an unopened road allowance. Also, By-law staff worked with Hydro One maintenance personnel in the erection of cement barriers at the end of Hamilton and Sixth Street where there had been chronic dumping along the hydro corridor. Council is aware of efforts to curb dumping and other acts of vandalism at City parks. A security firm patrols parks during the summer months. The greater presence of individuals at parks makes dumping less likely. In addition, adopt-a-street and adopt-a-park programs, although aimed more at litter, make dumping in areas of community stewardship less likely. Other Solutions Municipal staff is supportive and recommending the Regional anti-dumping initiative, however, we view it as one additional tool in our tool box for dealing with illegal dumping. Enforcement by-laws are helpful in, hopefully, changing behaviour and acting as a deterrent but it is important to get to the root of why dumping occurs. The type of dumping the city witness is often construction material, household appliances and other items not regularly allowed during the weekly residential garbage pick-up. There seems to be a public perception that trips to the dump are too time consuming and costly. The Region may want to look at incentives and public education to encourage use of the Regional dumps. By-law staff is often involved in landlord-tenant scenarios where outgoing tenants leave their discarded furniture and other items on the stoop, so to speak, but neglect to contact the Region for a bulk item pickup. There is still a belief in the community that bulk item pickup is limited to a couple of times a year when, in actuality, as long as one calls a couple of days in advance of their regular pickup, a bulk item pickup can be arranged year- round. In addition, to the awareness campaign on anti-dumping, the Region needs to publicize the ease of bulk item pickup. The observation of municipal staff is that dumping breeds additional dumping. If one is going to go to the extreme of dumping, they are more likely to dump in an area where dumping regularly occurs. Dumping is less likely to occur in areas where there is regular activity and "eyes on" an area. Also, dumping is less likely to occur on pristine, well- maintained areas of land; therefore, it behoves the municipality to deal with dumping "hot spots", as quickly as possible. Currently, roads' crews do go out to regular spots on a weekly basis, however, the Council may want to consider budgeting for a dedicated anti- dumping crew for the summer months. The expenditure would have to be considered as part of the 2014 budget deliberations. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS To comply with the uniform approached proposed by the Group, the municipality may have to pass a dumping by-law. Staff will bring forward such a by-law in the future. July 9, 2013 -4- CD-2013-04 Any rewards under the initiative will likely not occur until 2014. By-law staff will budget, accordingly. Municipal Works staff would have to budget for an anti-dumping crew that could commence in spring 2014.. Staff currently part of the working group have identified "hot spots" and should arrange appropriate signage through the Regional Group. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Healthy and safe community, a well-planned City and improved By-law enforcement.

That Niagara Region pilot a Reward System for the reporting of illegal dumping to be approved for implementation in 2013, specifically for incidences along Regional roads. 4. That this report be circulated to Area Municipalities for information and staff discussions on approaches and partnerships be held, prior to seeking approval by their respective Councils. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to outline the Illegal Dumping Working Group's (the Group) progress to date and recommendations of the Group, as well as to introduce an Illegal Dumping Awareness Campaign and Reward System. 1 PW 48-2013 May 21 , 2013 BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS In the event that there is an increase in the reported cases of illegal dumping which result in offence notices issued, the following costs may be incurred by the Waste Management Division: • Staff time for monitoring, investigation, issuing notices and follow up; all of which can be managed with existing resources. • The Provincial Offenses Administration (POA) Office will charge the Division a fee at $75/hour for prosecuting illegal dumping Offence Notices in court. • It is estimated that it would cost $212 to prosecute illegal dumping offenders who wish to contest their charge in court. This cost estimate is based on 2-3 hours of a prosecutor's time, plus a $25 case opening fee. It should be noted that all monies collected from paid fines are recognized as part of POA revenue and are first used to cover POA expenses. Any net amounts remaining are allocated evenly between the Region (50%) and all Area Municipalities (50%). As such, any revenue resulting from fines related to illegal dumping offences will not be reflected in the Waste Management Division's budget or reporting. The fine for illegal dumping under the Solid Waste By-Law No. 04-2012 is $500 with a $110 victim surcharge, for a total payable amount of $610.00. The victim surcharge is remitted to the Province. Niagara Region's Waste Management Division included $2,000 in the 2013 operating budget for the cost of a Reward System. In addition, the Region budgeted $20,000 in the 2013 operations budget for the Illegal Dumping Campaign, including the design and creation of the roadside signs. REPORT In 2007, to ensure a uniform and consistent approach in dealing with illegal dumping within Niagara, the Illegal Dumping Working Group (Group) was re-established. The Group, comprised of Niagara Region's Waste Management, Transportation and Corporate Communications staff and representatives from local Area Municipalities, was formed to create a common approach to deal with illegal dumping, identify illegal dumping "hot spots", discuss and apply techniques to discourage illegal dumping, increase awareness on the subject, and help develop future initiatives to mitigate illegal dumping. The Group met on October 1 2012, January 21 2013 and February 26 2013. Participation in the meetings varied from four to seven Area Municipalities in attendance, as well as Niagara Region Waste Management, Transportation and Communication staff. To date, the following progress has been made: • Approval of Terms of Reference for the Group (Appendix 1). • Group agreed that there are benefits to having a consistent fine amount and fine amounts should be changed to $500, which aligns with the Region's current fine. 2 PW 48-2013 May 21 , 2013 • Identification and resulting clean-up of Illegal Dumping "Hotspots" region-wide. • Development of a proposed template to be used to track illegal dumping occurrences, costs and associated information about the offense, including the name of the offender. The template will be populated by Regional and Municipal staff. This information will be accessed only by Regional and Municipal Bylaw officers and cannot be made public. • Development of a proposed Online Reporting Tool for the public to report illegal dumping activity (Appendix 2). • Development of consistent signage to be placed in hotspots and other locations (proposed concept attached as Appendix 3). The Group agreed that one phone number on the sign for reporting illegal dumping should be used to streamline the process. The Region would receive the initial illegal dumping report through the telephone or online tool, investigate and coordinate efforts with the Municipal staff as required. • Development of a secure shared site, where the Group's members can access information on initiatives, resources and information on illegal dumping activity. • Development of a Public Engagement Survey to obtain input from residents regarding illegal dumping in their Municipality (Appendix 4). • Development of a proposed region-wide Illegal Dumping Campaign geared towards increasing awareness. (Appendix 5). • Development of a proposed Reward System to permit residents who witnessed an illegal dumping act to be awarded financially for reporting an incident which leads to a fine (Appendix 6 — proposed draft Reward System). Based on the amount of evidence, staff would proceed with either charges, issuance of a warning letter or no action. The material would also be cleaned up by Regional/Municipal staff to limit potential future dumping. In October 2012, Niagara Region requested Area Municipalities to budget funds for a Reward System. However, given that Area Municipalities have not budgeted funds for a 2013 implementation, staff are recommending that a Reward System be implemented in 2013 as a Niagara Region pilot. The focus of the pilot will award residents if their report of illegal dumping, along roads under Niagara Region's jurisdiction only, leads to a fine. The Reward System would be managed by the Region for the remainder of 2013. It is anticipated that the Reward System would be expanded across the region, pending support from the Area Municipalities. Given partial representation of the Area Municipalities on the Group and limited response, staff is recommending that an awareness campaign be implemented and further consultation take place with Area Municipalities on the Group's proposed initiatives. Statistics show that illegal dumping activity in Niagara is an ongoing concern (Appendix 7) and warrants a consistent approach across the region. The next meeting for the Group is scheduled for June 2013, with the Group continuing to meet quarterly thereafter. The Illegal Dumping Awareness Campaign launch is anticipated for also June 2013. 3 PW 48-2013 May 21 , 2013 Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC) Input Region staff met with the WMAC on March 26, 2013 to obtain their input on this report's proposed recommendations. WMAC supported the recommendations and provided feedback on the communication plan/tools. Waste Management Public Steering and Planning (WMPSC) Committee At their April 15th meeting, WMPSC directed staff to follow up on the possibility of publicizing conviction details including the name of defendants. Staff will report back on this matter as well as staffs consultation with Area Municipalities as noted in the Recommendation section of this report.

The campaign and campaign materials will be designed so that they can easily be expanded if the pilot is expanded to include the local area municipalities. Objectives 1. Highlight the efforts that Niagara Region is taking to prevent or curb illegal dumping 2. Highlight the effects of illegal dumping in Niagara. The costs to the taxpayer, environment, etc. Explain that many items can be disposed of through already established waste management services 3. Explain the role and responsibility of property owners related to illegal dumping on their property 4. Promote and encourage residents to report instances of illegal dumping Strategy & Tactics Online An online reporting tool will be created that will allow individuals to report illegal Reporting Tool dumping activities from their smartphone or from their computer. The tool will allow users to upload an image of the illegal dumping site as well as to provide a description of the location. Media Relations A media relations campaign will be undertaken to promote a better understanding of the steps,the Region takes to investigate illegally dumped materials and the alternative waste disposal options available in Niagara.

Social Media The Region will use Facebook, Twitter and Google to promote the illegal dumping campaign. 1 Appendix 5 Communications Plan Illegal Dumping Campaign - Overview Signage New signs will be developed to be placed in known illegal dumping "hot spots" along with existing anti-dumping and no littering signs that are currently in place on Regional property. Existing road signs focus on the fine for illegal dumping. The new signs, while providing information on the fines for illegal dumping, will instead focus on the need to report illegal dumping activities. Public The short survey will ask for opinions on the use of an online reporting tool and will Engagement- seek information on the reasons behind'illegal dumping and will ask survey participants to identify illegal dumping hotspots Advertising Advertising for this campaign will be limited and focused on introducing the online reporting tool and the possibility:;,of incentives for reporting illegal dumping activities. • A limited print advertising campaign will be conducted to introduce the new online reporting tool and encourage individuals to report instances of illegal dumping when they see it • A limited radio ad series can be developed to support the launch of the campaign in the spring.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-43 2012 Development Charges RECOMMENDATION That Council receive and file the attached financial summaries regarding Development Charges for the 2012 fiscal year. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Finance staff provides Council with annual reports on financial transactions during a fiscal period that complement the annual Financial Statements. This report is a requirement of the Development Charges Act. The report provides a statement outlining the receipts and uses of all development charges collected under the authority of Part II of the Development Charges Act, 1997. During 2012, the City had a net decrease of approximately$534,000. It is important to note the funds are collected for expenditures identified in the development charge by-law which was approved in 2009. As Council is aware, staff are working with Hemson Consulting to update the City's Development Charges by-law later this year. BACKGROUND The City is required by the Development Charges Act to provide Council an annual summary of activity. The required content for this financial reporting is as follows: Balance as of January 1 • The development charges reserve fund balances as reported on the audited financial statements for the preceding year. Development Charges Received or Receivable • These development charges are to be allocated to the specific service to which they are to be applied. Development Charges Refunded • The total of all refunds of development charges, including the interest on the refund calculated on the basis of the provisions of section 13 of Ontario Regulation 725/89. July 9, 2013 -2 - F-2013-43 • The total refunded amount is to be credited to the specific service to which the original charges had been applied. Accrued Interest • The total interest earned on all reserve fund investments will be shown, as well as the apportionment of such interest earnings among the various services. Transfers to Capital Fund • The total of all amounts transferred to the capital fund including all interest earned on such funds as at the date the amounts are transferred. • The total of the amounts transferred are to be credited to the specific service to which the original charges had been applied. Amounts Allocated to Other Services • Indicate the amounts which Council has determined are to be transferred from the service originally allocated to another service. Balance at Year's End • The development charge reserve fund balance or balances as reported on the audited financial statements of the current year. Historical Trend of Development Charges The amount in the reserve funds at a point in time is a product of amounts collected, amounts used to fund capital projects and interest earned in the reserves. Ultimately, the purpose of development charges by-law is to collect adequate amounts that can be used to fund growth related projects. The chart below summarizes the historical year end balances. History of Development Charge Reserve Funds Development Disbursements Interest Year End Charge Revenue Earned Balance 2006 $17,884,395 2007 $1 ,776,969 (8,381 ,671) $675,731 $11 ,955,424 2008 $2,931 ,001 (4,496,182) $661,515 $11 ,051 ,758 2009 $1 ,629,288 (4,328,877) $368,114 $ 8,720,284 2010 $4,704,720 (3,362,456) $205,093 $10,267,642 2011 $3,265,343 (1 ,227,617) $271,608 $12,576,976 2012 $3,352,232 (4,081,593) $194,899 $12,042,513 July 9, 2013 -3 - F-2013-43 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As this shows, development charges received in 2012 were higher than the previous year. The amounts used for the funding of DC eligible projects during 2012 was more than previous year because at the end of 2012, there were 16 DC eligible projects. However, not all of these were funded since DC funding is made to capital projects upon completion. This allows the funds to remain in the reserve fund to maximize interest earning. It also allows for all expenses and revenues to be recorded in the capital project so the correct allocation of DC's can be calculated. Interest income was slightly less than the previous year. It is important to recall that while development charges reserves in aggregate totaled $12,042,513 as at December 31, 2012, individual reserves are held for specific expenditures, such as fire, roads, water, sewers, etc. in the future. The year end balance of $12,042,513 can be broken down as shown in the attached Development Charges Financial Statement. The attached summary illustrates the available amounts for each service area. It should be noted that these reserves are designated to be used in the areas that these pertain to and have been collected based on the current Development Charges Study. A summary of the financial statement follows: Balance as at January 1 , 2012 $12,576,976 Received Development Charges 3,352,232 Refunded Development Charges (37,718) Interest Earned 194,899 Transfer to Capital Projects (2,909,147) Transfer to Operating (1,134,728) Balance as at December 31 , 2012 $ 12,042,513 As required by the development charges legislation, capital projects that receive funding from development charges are required to report the other sources of funding. A summary of the sources for this total funding is as follows: New Development Charges By-law $2,909,147 Ontario Grant 5,352,916 Operating /Utility Revenue Fund 3,326,507 Reserve Funds 67,616 Gas Tax Reserve Fund 202,871 Capital Reserve Accounts 941 ,675 Debenture 511,478 Outside Billings 1 ,510,306 Interest Revenue 13,646 Special Purpose Reserves 61 ,730 Total Funding $14,897,892 It should be noted that the 2009 Development Charges by-law identifies uses for the monies held in the various reserves. Thus, the future projects are dependent upon the continued collection of development charges to ensure funding for committed projects and to maintain adequate balances. At present, a review is being conducted of the City's development charges collection policies and procedures for Council's consideration.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-30 Arad Street Watermain Replacement Pope Avenue to Brant Avenue Tender Award - Contract 2013-286-12 RECOMMENDATION 1 . The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Provincial Construction at the lowest price of $344,599.62. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hallex Engineering Ltd completed the design and contract documents for the Arad Street watermain replacement. This watermain was identified by our Infrastructure Group as needing replacement. Also included in this contract is the installation of the cleanouts on all of the active sanitary laterals. This is being done so that the sanitary sewer and laterals can be rehabilitated with a structural liner under a future contract. Tenders for this contract were opened on Tuesday June 25, 2013 and the lowest bid of $344,599.62 was received from Provincial Construction and is being recommended for acceptance. BACKGROUND The City's Infrastructure Group identified the watermain on Arad Street as being in poor condition and needing replacement. There have been breaks on this watermain in the past, which cause unplanned shut downs and service interruption for the residents. Videos of the sanitary sewer have been reviewed and overall the sewer is in good shape. This makes relining the sewer an ideal option for rehabilitation. It is for these reasons that the watermain has been selected for replacement and cleanouts are being installed on all active laterals. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the City Clerk, Dean lorfida, and the Project Manager, Chris Anders, opened tenders on June 25, 2013. July 9, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-30 Tender documents were picked up by eleven (11) Contractors and nine (9) bids were received. Listed below is a summary of the totalled tender prices excluding HST, received from the Contractors. The tenders were checked and corrected bids are shown below. Contractor City Tender Price Corrected Bid 1. Provincial Construction Niagara Falls $344,599.62 2. Peter's Excavating Stevensville $361,339.00 3. Vic Vatrt Contracting Welland $373,747.60 4.

Vic's Group Inc Scarborough Informal Tender The bid received from Vic's Group Inc was not opened as tender envelope No. 1 containing the bonding and tender deposit was not attached to the outside of tender envelope No. 2. Under the Niagara Peninsula Standard Contract Documents, Special Instructions for Bidders, section 6. Informal Tenders, 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, overwritting or strikeouts not initialled In this case, point b) would apply as the correct envelopes were not used, making it informal. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The lowest tender was received from Provincial Construction in the amount of $344,599.62. 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/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The project was included in the approved Municipal Works Capital Budget for 2013 with a budgeted expenditure of $653,700.00. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of the Capital Project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities to establish infrastructure investment priorities.

BACKGROUND The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the Manager of Clerks Services, Bill Matson, and the Acting Manager of Roadways Marianne Tikky opened tenders on June 18, 2013. Tender documents were picked up by five (5) Contractors and two (2) bids were received. July 9, 2013 -2 - MW-2013-37 Listed below is a summary of the totalled tendered prices excluding HST, received from the two (2) bidders; 1 . Ground Aerial Maintenance Service Ltd. Niagara Falls, ON $297,892.06 2. Trans Test Chesterville, ON $464,350.00 On December 12, 2011, report MW-2011-60 Street Light Maintenance Contract Extension was approved by Council. The extension was requested as G.A.M.S. informed the City that meters from Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc., used in the LED Pilot Study, were only capable of holding data for 60 days. G.A.M.S. had assumed the memory of the data was for a great period of time and therefore did not collect the HPS (original light) data. The one year extension provided G.A.M.S. sufficient time to collect this HPS data for a conclusion study. On October 23, 2012, report MW-2012-52 was approved by Council. This six month extension provided GAMS sufficient time to properly prepare the LED Pilot Study report. A separate staff report will outline the results of the LED Pilot Study with recommendations. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The lowest tender was received by Ground Aerial Maintenance Service Ltd. in the amount of$297,892.06. It should be noted that the price is a per year and is adjusted on a yearly basis using the Consumer Price Index.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2013-38 Asphalt Overlay Phase 1 Tender Award - Contract 2013-03 RECOMMENDATION 1. The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Rankin Construction at the lowest price of $378,314.00. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Asphalt Overlay Program is derived from the City's pavement management system which evaluates each road section based on its structural condition (shape), ride condition (smoothness) and surface distress (cracking and potholes). The condition rating is helpful in determining which sections should be resurfaced and which require reconstruction. Annual asphalt overlay contracts are called to provide timely maintenance to prolong the life of the roadway and postpone the higher cost of reconstruction. Phase 1 of the Overlay Program consist of all of the streets that require top asphalt. These are roads that were part of a capital project that have passed the one year maintenance period and can now be completed. For Phase 1 the lowest tender was received from Rankin Construction in the amount of $378,314.00. This contractor has previously performed similar type projects for the City. We are of the opinion that this contractor is capable of successfully undertaking this project. The contract value is below the approved budget allocation for this project.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-45 Matters Arising from Municipal Heritage Committee Request to Demolish 5031 River Road • RECOMMENDATION That Council direct staff to remove the property at 5031 River Road, Niagara Falls from the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties and authorize the processing of a demolition permit application. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The property at 5031 River Road is listed on the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties. The owner requested a demolition permit for the property and due to its inclusion on the Municipal Register are required to give the City 60 days notice of the request for a demolition permit. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In 2006, Council approved the Municipal Register of Heritage Properties which included both Designated and Listed properties. Those properties that are listed are there due to them having some historical significance to the City. The property at 5031 River Road was included in the Register as it appears in a booklet prepared in 1970 for the Lundy's Lane Historical Society, Stamford Township, Our Old Buildings. The Municipal Heritage Committee has reviewed the property using the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act which is used for determining the Cultural Heritage Value or interest of a property prior to designation. The Ontario Heritage Act considers a property appropriate for designation if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Has design value or physical value because it is rare or unique; • Has historical value or associative value, being a direct association with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; • Has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining, or supporting the character of an area, is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings or is a landmark. July 9, 2013 -2 - PBD-2013-45 The house built c. 1856 can be described as a vernacular blend of the Classic Revival and Gothic Revival styles although smaller in scale and lacking some of the detail normally associated with the typical elements of these styles. Recognizable elements include medium pitched roof with the front gable plan, front porch, decorative barge board trim and full length window openings in the front porch. The original siding has been covered with pebbledash finish. The house does not exhibit rare or unique design. The Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that the property at 5031 River Road has limited associative value for its connection with the names of people associated with other lots in the area such as Crysler and its eventual sale to Vandersluys. According to the title search of the property, Part of Lot 20, Plan 276 is known to have been owned along with a number of lots by Hermanus Crysler beginning in 1840 and eventually sold to Joseph Vandersluys in 1897. In 1913, Joseph A Vandersluys sold the lot to Charles H Vandersluys. Eve E. Vandersluys sold the property in 1951 to William Strader. Strader's held the property until its most recent owner, Mr. Landeraap purchased it in 1992. The property is of minimal contextual value given that it is a relatively simple, small house along a road that has predominantly large homes. It is located on the west side of River Road. The Municipal Heritage Committee recommends to Council that the building be removed from the Municipal Register and staff be directed to process a Demolition Permit application for 5031 River Road due to its limited Cultural Heritage Value and Interest to the City of Niagara Falls.

Public Art Advisory Task Force Role The role of the Public Art Advisory Task Force will be to consult with staff, review materials and make recommendations, regarding potential acquisitions and the disposition of works from the collection. They will also advise in the development of public art projects and any matters related to the development, promotion and use of the art collection.

R&C-2013-13 Niagarafalls July 9, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2013-13 - Gale Centre Seat Sale Initiative RECOMMENDATION 1. That the revised Gale Centre seat sale campaign be approved. 2. That $50.00 from each seat sale be allocated to the Niagara Falls not-for-profit organization responsible for the seat sale donation. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The seat sales at the Gale Centre have been declining since 2011. The majority of seats were sold leading up to the facility opening and during the first year of operation. Staff is confident that the updated campaign that permits organizations to access $50.00 from every seat sold will increase overall seat sales. BACKGROUND The capital campaign for the Gale Centre includes a seat sale. Seats are offered for$200, VIP for$500 and 'In the Pink' at$250 with $50 of every pink seat purchased being donated to GNGH for cancer related care. Names are engraved on the seat back and are to remain for the lifetime of the facility. Tax receipts are issued for the donation of seats. The Recreation Committee discussed the seat sale initiative at their May 21, 2013 meeting. Members support the revised campaign as this will provide a spark to the campaign, providing community organizations with an opportunity to raise funds to support their programs. The seats sold in each year are as follows: • 2007 - 39 total seats • 2008 - 148 total seats • 2009 - 116 total seats • 2010 - 231 total seats • 2011 - 27 total seats • 2012 - 10 total seats • 2013 - 4 total seats July 9, 2013 -2 - R&C-2013-13 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The seat sales have declined over the past few years. Only 41 seats have been sold since 2011 . This revised seat sale campaign and brochure will increase exposure to the seat sale with organizations working to promote it for their own benefit. Hockey, ringette and figure skating are expensive activities and the user groups are always seeking fundraising opportunities to support their initiatives. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The total revenue that can be achieved from the 2000 seats available with the 'Great Seat Sale' is $485,500. The amount raised to date is $148,850. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Financial Strategic Priority,to ensure resources are focussed on maximizing revenues at the City arenas. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1 .

Diodati And Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-32 Portage Road Re-alignment- Fallsview Blvd. to Marineland Pwy. Request for Proposal RECOMMENDATION 1) Delcan Corporation be hired to complete the Class C Environmental Assessment in response to Request for Proposal RFP06-2013 2) That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreements EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This approval is necessary to execute an agreement with Delcan Corporation to undertake Portage Road Realignment - Municipal Class C Environmental Assessment. The consulting service will evaluate alternatives and opportunities to address technical, cultural, natural environment, archeological and built heritage components for the Portage Road Realignment. The process will include public outreach via stakeholder, technical agency meetings and Public Information Sessions as well as a council presentation. The project is scheduled to be completed in February 2014. Delcan's proposal at $144,955 was not the lowest, however provided the most comprehensive proposal and is within the $150,000 budget allocated for the project. BACKGROUND: The 2011 Sustainable Transportation Master Plan identified a need for infrastructure improvements to address erosion issues on the steep embankment where the existing Portage Road alignment is located between Marineland Parkway and Fallsview Boulevard. In addition to the erosion, the existing Portage Road 'road geometrics' are not desirable given the grade, curve, lane widths and the lack of adequate pedestrian and active transportation facilities. To address the above a Request for Proposal was issued for a consultant to complete a Municipal Class C Environmental Assessment to investigate alternative solutions and opportunities. In response to the Portage Road Realignment Request for Proposal RFP06- 2013 six (6) consultants submitted proposals. July 9, 2013 -2- TS-2013-32 A summary of the proposal costs are as follows: Consultant Cost (exc.tax) McCormick Rankin Mississauga $ 116,000 Associated Engineering St. Catharines 125,573 Delcan Corporation Niagara Falls 144,955 AMEC Burlington 159,531 CIMA Burlington 187,378 AECOM St. Catharines 227,088 The proposals were evaluated by a committee consisting of Municipal Works and Transportation staff. The proposals were based on the following criteria: • Technical Expertise and Resources 10% • Team Strength and Leadership 15% • Similar Project Experience 10% • Past Performance Record 10% • Project Understanding 10% • Methodology - Work Plan 20% • Local Expertise Factor 5% • Quality Assurance Program 5% • Cost Factor 15% Delcan's submitted cost as shown is not low bid. However, by deducting the costs for the specialized experts, a necessary component to the success of the project, their bid would represent the median bid. The expense for the additional expertise as provided by Delcan is also reflected in additional person-hours expended by the project team. Thus,taking this information into account, Delcan is financially competitive. Delcan has previously completed Environmental Assessments and complex Transportation Planning projects within Niagara Falls, the Niagara Region and throughout Ontario. They have a broad knowledge of overlapping issues within the municipality that is considered to be valuable. Thus, the rating committee is of the opinion that Delcan is fully capable of undertaking this project. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE It is necessary to complete a Municipal Class C Environmental Assessment to obtain the preferred future alignment for Portage Road between Fallsview Boulevard and Marineland Parkway taking into account physical constraints and stakeholder input. The preferred plan will address future needs based on vehicle volumes, pedestrian and active transportation, topography, CP rail requirements, nearby property owners and connectivity to the tourist area. July 9, 2013 -3- TS-2013-32 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Funding for the project, termed Livingston Connection EA, was approved in the 2012 Capital Budget at an expenditure of $150,000. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is consistent with Council's Strategic Priorities to improve infrastructure sustainability and to create a healthy and safe community, in addition to providing convenient, accessible and sustainable transportation within the community.

DIODATI CITY CLERK MAYOR Dean Iorfida From: Marzenna Carrick Sent: Friday, June 28, 2013 3:05 PM To: Karl Dren Cc: Serge Felicetti; Ken Beaman; Dean Iorfida Subject: Gran Fondo Attachments: image001.gif; MTO request.pdf; GranFondo route.JPG Karl I attended a Gran Fondo event meeting this morning. The MTO was present and has requested that each municipality provide either a council resolution, or letter signed by the Mayor indicating that the city is supportive of the event. In particular the MTO has requested that text similar to that provided on the attached be included in the resolution/letter. (the MTO drafted this up quickly and mentioned that the wording can be changed slightly if needed, but the intent needs to remain) In summary the MTO want to ensure that each municipality is aware of the pending traffic disruptions that will or may occur within the cities/towns as a result of planned and/or potential highway closures related to the event so that they will not incur any liability from businesses/residents etc. nor that they will be criticized at a later date by the municipalities that the interchanges/roads were closed. The MTO have requested this from all municipalities affected ie. St. Catharines, NOTL, Thorold, Pelham (even though Pelham was not present at the meeting) Overview of Event The event starts at 6 am in the morning Saturday September 14 and the majority of cyclists will be finished by 1- 2pm. Gran Fondo is expecting 3000-5000 cyclists. The route is approximately 140 km and travels throughout the Niagara Region impacting numerous municipalities. The cycling event starts in Niagara Falls, travels through NOTL, Thorold, Pelham and then returns through Thorold , NOTL and back to Niagara Falls. The start and finish area is on the NPC property near Queen Victoria Park. Synopsis of Route The event starts on River Road near Murray Hill and proceeds northbound to Niagara on the Lake, from there it travels through NOTL and makes its way through the west end of Niagara Falls Taylor Road to Thorold Stone Road and through the tunnel westbound and then on to Thorold and Pelham. The return trip to Niagara Falls will be from Thorold through the tunnel eastbound to Taylor Road northbound to Mountain Road eastbound, to St. Paul Avenue northbound to Portage Road and then River Road where it will proceed southbound to Queen Victoria Park. An map overview is attached and an interactive map is provided at : Proposed Route (no password required: Proposed Route GFN 13 Gran Fondo's consultant is still preparing the traffic management plan. From the information I have to date I foresee the following traffic disruptions due to MTO closures. 1.Thorold Tunnel - both directions thus detouring on to QEW 2. Mountain Road —interchange ramps to/from QEW closed thus detouring on to Thorold Stone Road 3. MTO also mentioned that if the traffic is queued on the QEW at Glendale they would have to close that interchange which would force traffic to stay on the QEW Road closures or partial road closures will also occur on city/regional/NPC roads as follows: 1. River Road 1 2. Mountain Road 3. Taylor Road 4. St. Paul Avenue I await your response as to action pending. Marzenna Carrick, C.E.I.
