and Members of the Municipal Council
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: CAO-2013-06
City of Niagara Falls Position on Regional Reports
RECOMMENDATION
That the position of the City of Niagara Falls on various recent Regional Municipality of
Niagara reports be forwarded to the Region.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the last several months, the Regional Municipality of Niagara has prepared or
commissioned reports concerning the relationship between the City and local municipalities
and the way in which services are delivered.
These reports include:
• Sewage Pumping Stations and Forcemains (July 2010)
• Emergency Dispatch Service Review (October 2012)
• Water and Wastewater Service Delivery Review (March 2013)
• Niagara Nodes and Corridors Study (Draft - June 2013)
• Regional Development Phasing: Issues and Opportunities (August 2013)
• Combined Sewer Overflow Control Policy (October 2013)
• Inter-Municipal Transit Pilot Project - Ongoing
The City of Niagara Falls has a position on each of the above noted reports that may not
have been included or recognized in these reports to a satisfactory level. This report
summarizes the City's position on each.
October 22, 2013 -2 - CAO-2013-06
BACKGROUND
Sewage Pumping Stations and Forcemains
Niagara Region Public Works Department
July 1, 2010
Key Issues
The Niagara Region has jurisdiction and ownership of all new Pumping Stations and has
assumed operation of most facilities except where there are minor technical issues.
Existing Sewage Pumping Stations have been identified through comprehensive studies
like Master Plans or Pollution Control Planning studies. New Pumping Stations required
to accommodate growth are not included in the Region's Development Charge Background
Study/By-law. As a result, development opportunity is limited by the ability of a developer
to afford the front-end capital costs of such an installation.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
The City of Niagara Falls has included the capital cost of constructing new Pumping
Stations and Forcemains in its previous Development Charges By-law(2009) however the
Region's policy questions the legality of collecting funds for an asset it doesn't (and will
never) own. This appears to contradict the Development Charges Act (1997). More
importantly capital investments of this nature generally are more affordable spread over
a wider development base. Capital costs of$3 to $5 million are difficult to fund on a cash
flow basis given the scale and rate of development in the City.
The City's position is that the Region's policy should provide for the inclusion of Pumping
Stations and Forcemains in their Development Charges By-law and permit, if necessary,
arrangements for front-end financing agreements with a developer rather than forcing Area
Municipalities to become interim financing institutions assuming all risks.
Emergency Dispatch Services Review
IBI Group
October 23, 2012
Key Issues
The Region commissioned a study citing inefficiencies in having four emergency dispatch
centres in Niagara. As a result, the Niagara Regional Police Services, Niagara Emergency
Medical Services were directed to participate in a dispatch review. Municipal fire dispatch
centres, in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines were invited to participate as well. A$175,000
study by IBI Group was commissioned and submitted in October of 2012.
The report recommended:
• that the "Client group" secure commitments from their Councils to establish
an operationally integrated Public Safety Communications System for
Niagara
October 22, 2013 -3 - CAO-2013-06
• as an interim governance arrangement, local and regional Councils should
invest the Commissioner of Corporate Services of Niagara Region with the
responsibility to establish and manage the approved system
• the Commissioner of Corporate Services should secure initial financial
resources to retain a Public Safety Communications Director, who would be
responsible for funding and implementing the new Public Safety
Communications System.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
The initial political concern alluded to the four dispatch centres being too many in number
and suggested that there must be operational and financial efficiencies possible if
amalgamated.
The study was directed to focus on options for change but objections were voiced that a
compelling reason for change was needed.
The City of Niagara Falls position was that the initial study should focus on a critique of the
current system and whether it was working or not. This would then lead to a discussion of
next steps. This part of the process was not addressed and the study proceeded on
assumption that the existing system was not working.
All of our emergency services have a good record for dispatching and Niagara Falls was
the first in the province to achieve near simultaneous dispatch for tiered medical response.
Also, the Niagara EMS dispatch was a pilot project within the province that has excelled
at its level of service. The Niagara Regional Police Services have seen considerable
upgrades in infrastructure and data transmission within the past few years. We are not a
stalled inactive dispatch group. However, the goal became finding a roadmap for change
and that was what was focused on.
The cost to the taxpayer for a change from our existing system to a new model as
proposed was not included in the consultant's report but they did suggest an estimated $1
savings per year. To put this in context, it was estimated within the group that the cost of
the proposed change would be in the order of $30 to 50 million, causing the return on
investment to stretch out over decades. The improved level of service to the taxpayers
was unknown and could possibly be minimal.
During the latter part of the study, there were significant changes to Regional
representation on the committee. Throughout this period, the Region requested Niagara
Falls and St. Catharines to bring forward a report outlining proposed directions leading
toward the goals identified in the IBI report, but even after significant modifications to the
initial draft, it was not determined to be something that the Fire Chiefs and CAO's of both
communities wished to bring forward.
The Region tentatively plans to take their report to Regional Council on October 24, 2013.
The City of Niagara Falls position is that staff is satisfied with our current level of service.
Our radio communication system is the most current technology and call volumes are
handled efficiently. The City will review this matter further at such time as the call volumes
October 22, 2013 -4 - CAO-2013-06
require additional staffing or communications infrastructure requires significant capital
investment.
Water and Wastewater Service Delivery Review
Stantec
March 2013
Key Issues
The Niagara Region is one of only three remaining two-tier delivery systems for municipal
water and wastewater services in Ontario. Regional Council, at its meeting of January 13,
2011 directed its staff to pursue a "Municipal/Regional Fiscal Service Review" of the water
and sewer services provided across the Region.
The key objective of the Review was to consider the potential for consolidated service
delivery and to compare alternative models relative to the status quo.
The Review further states that savings from changing the governance structure range from
modest to significant, and concludes that the "status quo is clearly not the best strategy."
It concludes that changing the governance structure would better prepare the services
providers to face the future by:
• Increased focus on water issues at the political level would greatly assist
elected officials in advancing the objectives of a sustainable water and
wastewater service
• Improved focus on the challenges — managerial, technical and financial
• Centralized strategic policy and decision-making
• Established measurable, reasonable and easy-to-understand benchmarks
• Tailored administrative processes and streamlined decision making
processes
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
Staff has serious concerns about the assumptions and the conclusions drawn through this
level of analysis. The Review fails to acknowledge the impact on those residents in the
larger municipalities, specifically Niagara Falls who already are overpaying for water
treatment and sewage treatment as part of the current governance model.
While the status quo is not ideal, or perhaps not sustainable for some of the smaller
municipalities, Staff believes that opportunities to achieve cost savings do not necessarily
require a change in governance. Best management practices, bulk purchasing, shared
expertise and equipment are easily coordinated through joint use arrangements and
partnerships where they make operational sense.
Local municipalities have the ability to make timely investment decisions regarding the
replacement, expansion, and extension of their water and wastewater infrastructure. In
addition, their debt capacity is supported by the value of these assets. Transfer of these
October 22, 2013 -5 - CAO-2013-06
assets to a third party would reduce the ability for municipalities to make local decisions
in a strategic manner that would attract development or redevelopment opportunity.
The City's position is that, by adopting the recommendations arrived at in the Water and
Wastewater Service Delivery Review, the municipality' s ability to make strategic decisions
about our water and wastewater infrastructure will be compromised, and Niagara Falls
residents will experience a decrease in the present level of service.
Niagara Nodes and Corridors Study
Dillon Consulting
June 2013 (Draft)
Key Issues
The purpose of the report is to identify and understand the potential issues, opportunities,
and challenges for developing a regional network of nodes and corridors. The document
is intended to serve as a foundation for the Region to further refine and implement a
Niagara Nodes and Corridors Strategy, leading to a comprehensive approach to
transportation and land use planning for the Region.
It is expected that the Strategy would include a Regional Policy Plan Amendment and a
number of other implementation programs and projects.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
Despite that fact that the study states that there are no Regionally Significant Corridors,
staff is of the opinion that the QEW Employment Corridor should be so designated as it is
a major gateway into the Region and has a bearing on the economic health of the Region.
Identification of the employment lands in this corridor would be consistent with the Region's
Nodes and Corridors Study because it takes advantage of existing infrastructure (roads,
sewers and water), prominence, visibility and access to the QEW. This corridor, together
with a node at the QEW Lyon's Creek interchange, should be included as the South
Niagara Hospital, cited as a game changer in the Regional Development Phasing: Issues
and Opportunities Study, is to be located in Niagara Falls which will serve as a catalyst in
the midterm planning period. The City will be embarking on a secondary plan for the
corridor in the near future.
Staff is also of the opinion that the QEW/Sodom Road interchange should be designated
as a Node, given its access and proximity to the QEW. Since this interchange is already
recognized in the Region's Niagara Economic Gateway amendment, it follows that it should
also be recognized in the Nodes and Corridors study.
Staff would like to emphasize the importance of the GO Transit Mobility Hubs and GO
Train stops as Regionally Significant Nodes. These nodes have the potential of creating
a dense mixed use urban area, the impacts of which would be realized beyond the 800-
metre radius of the node.
October 22, 2013 -6 - CAO-2013-06
The study states that Niagara Falls is the only local municipality that designates a system
of nodes and corridors. As part of the background for Official Plan Amendment No. 94, a
thorough analysis of potential nodes and corridors was undertaken in order to identify the
designated areas. As such, these areas are considered a priority for intensification and
redevelopment.
It is also of note that the study shows both the Downtown and the former Cytec Canada
lands as the "Niagara Falls Mobility Hub." We would suggest that there is greater potential
for realizing the mobility hub within the Downtown Node. This is evidenced in OPA No. 94
which recognizes that part of the Downtown, as well as lands to the north, as a Major
Transit Station Area as defined by the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
Staff also believes that the Morrison/Dorchester Node represents a better opportunity as
a node for Regional Transit rather than the Cytec property.
OPA NO.94 does not designate a node within the City's Tourist Core. The Drummondville
Node is to be targeted for intensification of residential and commercial uses, and is an
existing Community Improvement Area and a transit transfer hub (currently and with plans
for expansion of this role).
The Study states that the " . . . Warren Woods area has some potential (for being a node).
although the Official Plan does not currently identify it as a strategic area for mixed use
development." Staff notes that Warren Woods, actually the Garner South Secondary Plan
(OPA No 99, approved in December 2012), is designed to meet 53 people and jobs per
hectare. It has the potential for more than 2,000 jobs, greater than 2,000 square metres
of commercial and mixed use floor space and will house approximately 6,900 people in a
variety of housing types. Moreover, the northeast quadrant of the Plan Area is designated
Residential, High Density, in part, to create a high rise node in proximity to the Niagara
Square Retail District.
The City position is that the criteria used in identifying Regional nodes and corridors is too
narrow to recognize key nodes such as the Lyons Creek interchange and QEW corridor
that are important economic development opportunities for Niagara Falls and the Region
as a whole.
Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policy
Niagara Region Public Works Department
October 2013 (Draft)
Key Issues
The Region has acknowledged its role in assisting the Area Municipalities to reduce the
occurrence of combined sewer overflow discharges into the natural environment. The new
policy proposes cost sharing for studies which is helpful to local municipalities.
The Region has taken the position that source control projects on private property (down
spout disconnection, weeping tile separation and backflow prevention) are not eligible for
funding under the policy. By not considering these options, studies and projects are
October 22, 2013 -7 - CAO-2013-06
skewed to focus on more expensive"end of pipe"solutions which don't eliminate the cause
of combined sewer surcharging.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
The City of Niagara Falls has taken proactive measures to address the primary cause of
combined sewer overflows(CSO's)by implementing an aggressive Weeping Tile Removal
Assistance Program (WRAP). This program provides homeowners with an opportunity to
help flood-proof their homes and disconnect them from contributions to downstream
problems by offering an attractive subsidy of up to $3,900.
The elimination of wet weather flows should be regarded by the Region as an attractive
initiative as they have responsibility for sewage treatment, and could reduce the need for
premature capital investment of Wastewater Treatment facilities.
Using their "end of pipe" approach, wet weather flows can be stored but still have to be
treated.
The individual cost to the homeowner is the biggest obstacle to achieving compliance. The
funding otherwise allocated to storage alternatives could achieve more effective long term
solutions for property owners in the community less expensively.
It is the City's position that the CSO Management Action Plan (MAP) be revised to help
fund the local area municipalities with source control programs that eliminate wet weather
flows from entering the sanitary sewer collection systems.
Regional Development Phasing: Issues and Opportunities
Hemson Consulting Ltd.
Final Report - August 21, 2013
Key Issues
In an effort to satisfy Provincial appeals to the Regional Official Plan and the Growth Plan,
Regional Council determined that the Regional Policy Plan should contain Region-wide
phasing policies to guide future development. As part of a three-phase process, Hemson
Consulting Ltd. is identifying the key issues and opportunities related to phasing in the
Niagara Region, including growth outlook, land supply, servicing or other factors affecting
the Region's competitive position.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
It is of concern that the Region of Niagara entered into Minutes of Settlement with the
Province in regard to conducting a phasing study in 2012, without consulting local
communities until 2013.
The City of Niagara Falls has serviced residential and employment lands that should be
targeted as a development priority in Phase One. These lands include:
October 22, 2013 -8 - CAO-2013-06
• Garner South Secondary Plan
• QEW Employment Corridor
• Chippawa West
• Brownfield Pilot Project Area
Phasing must be based on sustainable criteria. For example, substantial investment has
been made in constructing the Garner and Grassy Brook pumping stations which will
require further development in order recover expenditures.As such,these areas of the City
should be a priority, in advance of areas which will require new or upgraded service.
Infrastructure extensions or upgrades must also be within the financial means of the
Region and the lower tier municipality.
Gateway Employment Lands within the Regional Policy Plan should take advantage of
criteria that maximizes the use, access and exposure to an existing 400-series highway.
Niagara Falls is strategically positioned on the QEW to take advantage of economic
opportunities. Therefore, lands in proximity to the QEW should be included as priority land
development.
Among the factors that phasing must recognize are the realities of the market. While staff
appreciates and understands the "Grow South" strategy of the Regional Policy Plan, the
market does not bear this out. The northern and central municipalities are experiencing
significant growth in housing (despite being within the Greenbelt Plan Area) which
demonstrates consumer preference to locate along the QEW corridor municipalities. While
market demands must be balanced by land use and servicing efficiencies, phasing should
not artificially favour lands where there is little market demand or highway access.
Within the Updated Land Supply Summary, there are notable discrepancies between the
amount of both greenfield residential and employment lands. The City does not calculate
the supply within the built-up area in terms of land area, but in terms of unit supply which
is determined through site-specific zoning.
It was noted from the methodology that all Institutional, Commercial, Industrial (ICI) lands
are considered to be employment lands. The inclusion of commercial lands as
employment lands, if they are Major Retail, would be contrary to the Growth Plan.
There has to be alignment of the Regional Policy Plan (RPP) and the City's Official Plan
(OP). The City's Official Plan already contains a Phasing Strategy (Schedule B to the
Official Plan, as amended by OPA #94). The development community has invested in
lands based on the phasing strategy. Accordingly, these lands have to be accommodated
in the Regional Policy Plan as an earlier phase over those areas yet to be established for
urban development.
The Phasing Strategy will assist the City in its upcoming Development Charges (DC)
Review in the prioritization of DC projects, as well as the determination of an appropriate
DC for the next five-year interval. Phasing can also play a role in encouraging
intensification if done in tandem with DC's. This would allow the City to take advantage of
its intensification opportunities. The allocation of works to be completed under
Development Charges should be commensurate with the Regional Development Charges
collected in that municipality. That is, spend the DC dollars in the municipality where they
are generated.
October 22, 2013 -9 - CAO-2013-06
In order for a Regional Phasing Strategy to be of benefit, phasing must first take advantage
of existing opportunities. Foremost is utilizing the QEW corridor prior to expansion of
highway systems elsewhere in the Region. As well, the Region should be maximizing the
potential of the international bridge crossings within the three easternmost municipalities.
These facilities are critical to the future of the Region.
The Phasing Strategy must target the allocation of employment lands for the first
development phase and synchronize this with the residential market. Niagara Falls has
been the generator of jobs through the expansion of the tourism sector to the extent that
employees are imported into the City to fill vacancies.
The Strategy must establish the region's largest urban areas as the priority growth areas.
These municipalities have the infrastructure, including public transit, and community
services that would accommodate population and employment growth.
The Strategy must emphasize the use of the QEW corridor as the major transportation
corridor of the Region. QEW frontage lands should be prioritized, given their access and
exposure throughout the Region, prior to expansion of road corridors yet to be established.
The latter corridors should serve as later phases of the strategy.
The Strategy must address intensification. Utilization of Built-up Areas, especially
brownfields, for employment and residential uses should factor significantly in the phasing
strategy. The strategy should also align with the CIP programs that are currently offered
by both the Region and several lower tier municipalities.
The City's position is that Niagara Falls' phasing should take full advantage of existing
highway access, servicing and market to the Region's strategic advantage. The RPP must
take into consideration the strategy established by the City's Official Plan. Private
investment and land acquisition have been made based on the City's OP, and any changes
will have implications. Phasing should not artificially favour lands where there is little
market demand or highway access — it must first take advantage of existing opportunities.
Inter-Municipal Transit— Pilot Project
One Transit
Ongoing
Key Issues
The Region approved proceeding with a Regional Inter-municipal Transit Pilot Project on
June 23, 2010. The Pilot is to run for a period of three years beginning September 2011.
The City approved entering into an agreement to purchase buses and provide manpower
on behalf of the Region on September 20, 2010.
The Regional Municipality of Niagara's Inter-Municipal Transit - Pilot Project is a triangular
connector service that connects Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland, (with
augmented connector services to Fort Erie and Port Colborne). The service is operated by
the three Transit Operators on behalf of the Region.
October 22, 2013 - 10 - CAO-2013-06
On July 26, 2012, a motion was made to hire a consultant (AECOM) to undertake a study
for the implementation of a Regional One Transit" System. As part of the consultation
process for the study, they are to include meetings with the municipalities currently
operating transit services in their communities.
Key comments made between the municipalities of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and
Welland include:
• The Region of Niagara is unlike any other Region that has One Transit
System and the geography is not conducive to an integrated system with
large areas of open space between our urban centres. Demographics in the
GTHA are different and higher immigration rates and higher densities
support a less car-centric lifestyle that is more conducive for transit.
• There may be an interim step which may include expanding the pilot program
but not until the program is completed and a proper evaluation conducted.
There may be a role for the Region in establishing key hubs and running
express service between those hubs. Also, the WEGO system in Niagara
Falls is currently operating as a separate visitor-based transit system with
some coordination with Niagara Falls Transit. The WEGO system is not to
be considered for amalgamation into a One Transit scenario.
• Reference was made to previous amalgamations where there was little
compensation provided to the local municipalities for facilities which now
serve the Region.
• There is concern that Regional Transit or One Transit would result in a loss
of level of service at a local level and loss of control of routes and
scheduling, potentially resulting in deterioration of service.
• There was a general consensus that the pilot project currently being
operated by the municipalities and funded by the Region should run its full
course and evaluation should wait until the end of the pilot period. It is
possible that further traffic may materialize prior to the end of the pilot. This
evaluation should include ridership, costs, and other performance metrics.
The results should be made transparent.
The City of Niagara Falls' Position
The City of Niagara Falls currently does not support the concept of "One Transit" in the
Region of Niagara, however, we are supportive of an express connector service between
the major hubs —Welland, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls, including connector services
to Fort Erie and Port Colborne with the potential to expand to other municipalities in the
Region. Therefore, the City is supportive of continuing the operating model that has been
developed as part of the current Pilot Project and is supportive of continuing the Pilot
Project for an additional three years in order to better define and finalize the governance,
operating and funding approach.

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati

City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department
SUBJECT: F-2013-56
Monthly Tax Receivables Report
RECOMMENDATION
That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property
tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of September 30, 2013 were $24.6 million
compared to $24.1 million in 2012. During September, tax receivables as a percentage
of taxes billed decreased slightly from 28.0% in 2012 to 27.9% in 2013. The City's finance
staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for
2013. At this stage, 89.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have
paid in full. There are currently thirty-two 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 2013 lags slightly behind the collectition history for 2012. Table 1 shows
that taxes outstanding at September 30, 2013 are $24.6 million. This represents an
increase from $24.1 million in arrears for the same period in 2012. Finance staff continues
to actively pursue property owners in arrears.
Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority
of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that
the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased 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, 2013, 389
properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions
after nine months of activity. This table shows 89.2% of the tax accounts or 347 properties
have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During
September, one account was paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable
payment arrangements including full payments stayed the same from 89.2% (August) to
89.2% (September).
October 22, 2013 -2 - F-2013-56
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 September, one property was registered. The outstanding
taxes for registered properties represents 2.9%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
September 30, 2013 is 27.9% which is a decrease from 2012's value of 28.0%. The
municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset
the higher measure.

Adding Provincial Offences Act (POA) Fines to the Tax Roll
RECOMMENDATION
That Council approve the agreement with the Niagara Region, and related execution by-
law, to add defaulted Provincial Offences Act (POA) fines to the City's tax roll.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Region of Niagara has requested that the City of Niagara Falls enter into an
agreement with the Region that will improve the collection of Provincial Offences Act(POA)
fines. This action is beneficial to all twelve area municipalities, like Niagara Falls and the
Region since all of the municipalities share in the revenue derived from POA fines. The
agreement provides the City with the ability to collect the POA on behalf of the Region
through the property tax system. Most of the municipalities in Niagara have already
approved the agreement, while the others will be seeking Council approval of the
agreement later this year. The collection steps outlined in the agreement is authorized
under Section 441.1 of the Municipal Act Municipal Act, 2001 . The impact on municipal
staff will be similar to the process for collection of other bylaw infractions permissible under
legislation and will have minimal impact on city resources. Finally, it should be noted that
this process will only be utilized once all other collection processes are followed by regional
staff.
BACKGROUND
In January 2001, the Province of Ontario, as part of it strategy to realign provincial and
municipal roles in the delivery of public services, transferred the responsibility for the
administration and prosecution of Provincial Offences to the Niagara Region.
The Niagara Region, acting as agent on behalf of the twelve area municipalities, has
established its own administration and courtrooms to deal with charges laid under the
Provincial Offences Act . Net revenues generated from the collections of POA fines are
shared 50/50 between the Region and area municipalities. Assessment is used to further
allocate funds to the lower tier. The City of Niagara Falls receives approximately$325,000
annually from POA fines and the funds are included in other revenue within the annual
General Purposes Budget.
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
The POA Collections Department uses many methods to enforce the payment of
outstanding fines. Suspending driver's licences, sending collection notices, pursuing civil
October 22, 2013 - 2 - F-2013-57
enforcement, and the use of collection agencies, yet despite these collection efforts the
number of delinquent fines continues to grow. The Region has recently approached the
Area Treasurers in an effort to utilize another collections tool: adding POA fines to the
City's tax roll. It is staff's understanding that the collection tool requested by the Region
and included in this report will only be the used after all other collection actions by the
Region have been exhausted and the fines remain unpaid.
Section 441.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001 grants treasurers the authority to add defaulted
POA fines to the tax roll for any property where the owners of the property are responsible
for paying the fine and then collect the fine in the same manner as municipal taxes. If the
property is owned jointly, the fine can not be added.
Once all collection efforts have been exhausted, the POA Collections Department will
provide the necessary documentation to add the fine to the owner's property tax roll. The
funds will be forwarded to the POA Collections Department once collected. As part of the
agreement the City shall, within 30 days of adding the defaulted fine to the tax roll, provide
a written notice to the deafulted property owner. This method of collecting delinquent fines
has been adopted by several municipalities across Ontario.
Staff of the Region provided a presentation earlier in the year to one of the local Area
Treasurer's Meetings and this presentation has been included for Council's reference.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications from adding defaulted fines to the tax roll. Once the
defaulted fine is added to the property roll, the amount becomes like taxes and is subject
to the City's penalty bylaw. As a result, the City will charge penalty which may provide
additional incentive for the payment of the fines. The collection of defaulted fines may
increase revenues for POA and in turn increase the amount of funds allocated to area
municipalities.

Niagaraaalls October 22, 2013
REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of the Municipal Council
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development
SUBJECT: PBD-2013-65
PLC-2013-008, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control
Block 87, Registered Plan 59M-395
Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision
Applicant: Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. (George
Pietracci)
RECOMMENDATION
1. That Council approve the request and pass the by-law included in tonight's agenda
to designate Block 87 on Registered Plan 59M-395, as exempt from Part Lot
Control for a period of two years; and
2. That the developer be required to notify the City when the new deeds for the parcels
have been registered.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. has requested that Council pass a by-law to exempt
the lands from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership for the
6 on-street townhouse units. The request can be supported based on the following:
• the use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent
because the block is located within a registered subdivision;
• By-law No. 2006-205 permits the proposed parcel sizes; and
• the by-law will permit deeds to be created for the new parcels and permit them to
be sold.
BACKGROUND
Proposal
Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control
removed from Block 87(north side of Chemonda Street) in the Chippawa West Phase 2
plan of subdivision. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1. The removal of Part
Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to lots
and to divide blocks within registered plans of subdivision. In this case the removal of Part
Lot Control is requested to allow the creation of separate parcels for each of the 6 on-street
townhouse dwelling units being built on the block. Refer to Schedule 2 for further detail.
October 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD-2013-65
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
The subject lands are located within the Chippawa West Phase 2 plan of subdivision (59M-
395) which was registered in 2012. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for single-
detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings and blocks of land for on-street townhouses
and group townhouse dwellings. A Building Permit was issued on October 26, 2012 to
permit the on-street townhouse dwelling to be constructed on the subject lands. The
dwelling and proposed parcel configurations are shown on the attached registered
reference plan (Schedule 2).
The subject lands are zoned Residential Mixed (R3-760) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as
amended by By-law No. 2006-205. The proposed parcels comply with the zoning
regulations.
Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a
registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever.
Municipalities have the ability to exempt lots and blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot
lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent.
Approval of a Part Lot Control by-law is requested so that each townhouse dwelling unit
can be sold with its own parcel of land. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted
for two years to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider
market absorption of the units. This time period is acceptable given the amount of new

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
And Members of the Municipal Council
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department
SUBJECT: TS-2013-41
Lemon Road and Miller Road
Removal of Bridge Weight Restriction
RECOMMENDATION
That the maximum 14 tonne weight limit for the bridge on Lemon Road, east of Montrose
Road and the 2.5 tonne weight limit for the bridge on Miller Road, east of Sodom Road be
removed.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Engineering Staff has noted that upon completion of the Lemon Road and Miller Road
bridges, there will no longer be a requirement for weight signs. Construction is anticipated
to be completed by late October.
BACKGROUND
A maximum load limit of 14 tonnes for the Lemon Road bridge and 2.5 tonnes for the Miller
Road bridge was put into force in 2011 following a structural inspection of bridges.
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
Construction to replace both bridges is anticipated to be completed in late October. The
bridges will be able to accommodate loads as prescribed by the Highway Traffic Act.
Therefore, a weight limit for these two bridges will no longer be necessary.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
The removal of the signs is carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour cost
is accounted for in the approved 2013 General Purposes Budget. Cost studies estimate
that the cost to remove the signs is approximately $400.
October 22, 2013 -2- TS-2013-41
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, which include ensuring that
environmental, health, and social benefits direct transportation planning and design
decisions related to walking, cycling, and public transit.

ROMA CAPITA LE
Rome July 24`h, 2013
Dear Mayor,
We are organizing the 12th Edition of the International Day "Cities for Life", Cities against the
Death Penalty that will take place on November the 30th this year too. This is the memorial day of the
first abolition of the capital punishment in the Granducato di Toscana, on November 30th 1786. 2012
edition has been particularly dense with initiatives, participants and significance; it showed the
abolitionist movement's vitality, recently expressed also during the World Congress on death penalty
held in Madrid (June 2013).
The debate on the death penalty is still necessary both to encourage abolitionist initiatives in the
retentionist countries and to keep alive opposition to violence, State violence included, as a solution to
problems related to justice and public order.
We would like to involve your administration in the framework of various mobilizing initiatives to
sensitize public opinion. All initiatives are promoted and organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio
and the World Coalition against the Death Penalty,in Italy and many Others countries.
Therefore I ask you, as soon as possible, to inform us on the initiatives that your city is going to
undertake.You will find herewith attached the documents on the initiative and the ways to join it.
Looking forward to receiving your kind reply,we express our deepest esteem.
Prof. Marco Impagliazzo

World Day of"Cities for Life",
Cities for Life - Cities against death penalty
Since 2002, the Community of Sant'Egidio has launched the first International Day of Cities for Life -
Cities against the Death Penalty on the 30th of November. The date was chosen in memory of the first
abolition of the death penalty: it happened in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany on the 30`h of November
1786. Approximately 80 cities got involved for the first edition in 2002. Today more than 1600 cities
joined the initiative - including 70 capitals in five continents, which are taking part on this Day by
raising public awareness, by promoting educational initiatives and by organising events held in
monuments and symbol-squares.
The International Day "Cities for Life" -
tCities against the Death Penalty,is the largest
international mobilization of the abolitionist
movement. Its objective is to establish a
"4.4 dialogue within the civil society on the topic
V4); = j and to involve local administrators. This to
ensure the abolition of death penalty and the
waiver of violence become the true identity of the city and its citizens.
The Colosseum in Rome, when illuminated by a
unique light, has become the universal place and
symbol of the abolitionist battle. The Colosseum is
If. I r f - lightened up whenever an important milestone on
����� t the road to abolition and lasting moratorium is
►1� r F
T• w r reached in the world.
OF j` I To make your city to take part to this movement of
' : $ 2 � - Cities Against the Death Penalty, please contact the
coordination secretariat (abolition4sante2idio.org).
Through this channel all the materials are made available on request (like videos, significant
international witnesses statements and invitations) and the many worldwide initiatives are
communicated.

How to join the Global Campaign
"Cities for Life — Cities against the Death Penalty"
Examples of pro-active initiatives to be taken by each city who wants to join the Campaign:
• To give consent to advertise your city as a member of the cities for life — cities against the death
penalty, without any burden, if not a moral obligation to agree with the contents and intention of
the campaign.
• To designate a special monument,identifiable with the "soul" and identity of the city, as the living
logo of the campaign, deciding a special way to light it up: by switching from the usual light style
to a new one, expressing the positive choice for human rights of your city, or projecting on it
special symbols and nessages, on nov 30th each year and approaching that date.
• Following This, And As Additional Actions, Some Among The Following And Others Can Be
Taken, In Collaboration With The Community Of Sant'egidio And The International Ngos —
Mostly Members Of The Wcadp - That Promote In Your City The Campaign:
• Designate a person, an office, that will become the contact of the Community of Sant'Egidio and
the promoters for all initiatives relating to the Global Campaign.
• Join, with a resolution of the city council and by means of the individual signatures of the
representatives the Appeal for a universal moratorium.
• The monument, building or place of major significance in your city, chosen for the purpose of
illumination or decoration from 28 to 30 November 2013, will become significant also on other
occasions connected to the defeat of the death penalty (e.g.: a state that abolishes the death
penalty, or establishes a moratorium on executions or even commutes massive numbers of death
penalty sentences...).
• Every city has the authority to declare November 30 as "Day for life/against the death penalty",
and, if it so wishes, can place the phrase" "City member of "Cities for Life/Cities against the
Death Penalty" beneath the name of the city or its symbols and on its website and on any
statement or stationery or means it may choose (a communication of the decision is to be shared
with the promoters of the Campaign so as to advertise it in proper way as "good news").
• Every city can link the home page of its website by means of a link to the website of the
Community of Sant'Egidio (wwy x.santegidio.org) which links up directly with the page of the
Global campaign against the Death Penalty, www.santegidio.org/pdm/logo cities.htm. A link will
also be with www.worklcoalition.or; .
This page contains the complete fist of all the cities that have joined the campaign. Besides, it is
appropriate that every city that joins this campaign should endeavour to advertise its support of
the campaign in the local press.
Pictures or short videos of the events around the logo-monument of the campaign will be
provided by the city to the home-website of the campaign, starting from Nov 29th each year, in
order to create a "catalogue" of the world campaign available by Nov. 30`k each year and for the
whole year.
• Every city can invite citizens to sign the Appeal for the General Moratorium on executions with a
view to the final abolition of the death penalty, by means of a communication campaign and a
choice of several places, such as public buildings and museums, where it will be possible to sign a
copy of the appeal. The text of the Appeal is provided by the Community of Sant'Egidio and it is
also available for signatures online.
• Every city is encouraged to undertake cultural, public initiatives to raise public awareness (that
could be supported and organised in conjunction with the Community of Sant'Egidio, its
associates, and co-promoters from the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty,worldwide.
• Every city can "adopt" someone who has been condemned to death , through schools, the youth,
taking all the actions needed to get up to a more just trial in case of lack of defence, and in any
case to save the life of the person sentenced to death (publicity if it is appropriate for the case,
correspondence,visits,legal defence,moral and practical support, public demonstrations...).
• Every city that so wishes can participate in the International Fund for the legal defence of those
condemned to death, already created by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The entrance fee is 10
euros, 12 usd, 9 bp. Every city has the possibility to approve every year—but it is not bound to do
it—any additional amount to increase and refill the International Fund.
• Every city can advertise and encourage citizens to click on line for a 2 euros/ US dollars/British
pounds contribution to the same Fund. The online link for credit card/Paypal donations is
provided by the promoters of the campaign.
• Bigger events, concerts, that may included fund raising, advertising, sms/mobile phone donations
to support the international movement against the death penalty are, of course, among the
possibilities and strongly encouraged.
• Special initiatives that link "art cities" (such as Rome, Paris, Venice, Barcelona, but also smaller
ones from Salzburg to Siena) can involve special communication on the Campaign on the tickets
and advertising of exhibitions during the last week of November each year, and propose a "gift-
matching" with the international tourists who would agree about participating with a one euro
offer for the human rights campaign.
• Cities are not bound to deposit funds in order to join the campaign,exception for the 10 euros.
• Donations are used to guarantee the right to defence also for the most disadvantaged: it is a tool
for a higher standard of international justice. Many of the capitals and cities of Europe have
contributed, so far, to this fund. Donations are to be sent to:

RE: Tourist Exemption - Wal Mart, 7481 Oakwood Drive
Whether a business is allowed to open on a statutory holiday is determined by The Retail Business
Holidays Act.
The Act does not allow holiday openings except for certain exemptions, which are outlined in the
Act.
There is a process to apply for a tourist exemption. The exemption is done through Region not the
City. There is a fee and the Region will hold a public meeting before granting the exemption. The
Region asks the lower tier municipality to sign off on the application first.
The regulations of the legislation state that a retail establishment has to be located within 2 km of
a tourist attraction and relies on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday. Most
applications for such an exemption in Niagara Falls have been approved.
Niagara Falls City Council has gone on record in the past asking that the Province to give the City
the authority to determine statutory holiday openings. As a tourist community, where many
businesses are already legally open on statutory holidays, there seems to be less of a desire to
maintain the former"pause"days under the legislation. In fact,the applicant, Wal mart,has likely
opened on Statutory Holidays in the past, likely unaware that there was an approval process
necessary.
Council has supported other similar requests of this nature,most recently,for the Target department
store.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council support the request.

Subject: Possible spot to do a brief Presentation to Council
Hi Dean,
I know its last minute but we were hoping to do a brief presentation (10 minutes) for Council in conjunction with Public
Library Week - sharing with you some of the other things library staff are involved with and do in the community.
We recently held a meeting inviting community partners to join us in developing a WW1 (100th Anniversary next year)
portal to be hosted on our library website.
We want to engage the community to gather as much information as possible and thought it would be good to show
Council and generate some interest now during Public Library Month and Remembrance Day etc.
Andrew Porteus, Head of Adult Reference and Information has polished up a power point (featuring a former WW1 vet
who went on to become Mayor) to be presented by our Board Chair Dr Louis Visentin.
Would either October 22 or November 12 be possible?
Thanks for your consideration

Niagara Falls Falcons Minor Peewee Baseball Team - OBA Champions
The Greater Niagara Baseball Association Niagara Falls Falcon Minor Peewee Baseball Team
began practicing indoors in February, with their eyes clearly focused on the Ontario Baseball
'AA' Championships. This core group of players and coaches have been together since 2010
when they won their first Provincial Championship in Senior Rookie ball. They have won three
consecutive Provincial Championships. This year, they add a fourth provincial championship.
On Labour Day weekend, the Falcons traveled to Windsor to compete in the OBA
Championships. In their first game on the Friday afternoon, they faced Sarnia and won 22-1 .
The Falcons then went on to face Waterloo, Peterborough and London on Saturday. Niagara
defeated these teams with a balance of strong defensive play, solid pitching and an explosive
offence. On Sunday, the Falcon's next opponent was Barrie and the Falcon's bats once again
came to life sending Barrie packing.
The Falcons made it to the final round and then faced the same London team they had defeated
the last two years at the `A' Provincial Championships. The game did not start well as London
came out strong and Niagara was quickly down by a score of 11-2. The `never say die' Falcons
continued to fight and play hard and eventually were down only one run going into the final
inning. The Falcons scored three runs in their half of the seventh to go up by one run. The
Falcons held their lead in the bottom of the 7th and in the end, they were crowned the 2013 `AA'
Provincial Baseball Champions.
Members of the Provincial Champions are listed below:
Andy Berti Leif Burciul Owen Diodati
James Egan Kyle Fortuna Noah Fortuna
Willy Jackman Lucas Lafortune Dennis Lescombe
Mason McRae Anthony Stranges Andrew Waters
Mike McRae, Head Coach Ryan Diodati and Ty Burciul, Assistant Coaches

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of the Municipal Council
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development
SUBJECT: PBD-2013-64
Official Plan Amendment No. 113
Proposal to Lift the Deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node
RECOMMENDATION
That Council receive comments regarding Official Plan Amendment No. 113, which
proposes to lift the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node and that staff work to resolve
any concerns raised.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On January 31, 2012, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 94, an
amendment to bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe. Staff recommended, at the time, that the Morrison/Dorchester Node
be deferred in response to Council's concerns regarding:
• the Optimist plan of subdivision;
• the re-tenanting of the former WalMart building; and
• the proposed redevelopment of the Canadian Home Products site.
These matters have now been addressed and the public meeting is being held to receive
comments. Staff are currently working to address the comments received to date.
BACKGROUND
On January 31, 2012, Council adopted OPA No. 94, an amendment to bring the Official
Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. OPA No. 94
was appealed to the OMB. The only outstanding appeal is that by Paletta International
regarding the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node.
OPA No. 94 designated areas for intensification (nodes and corridors) within the built
boundary area. The Morrison/Dorchester Node provided an overlay for residential
development to strengthen the commercial viability of the district. Staff recommended
deferral in order to provide additional time to investigate and resolve some outstanding
matters that may have had impacts on the policies for this Node. These were:
October 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD-2013-64
• the re-tenanting of the former WalMart building;
• the appeal of the application to convert the former Canada Home Products
site to residential development; and
• to deal with the subdivision application on the Optimist Park lands.
Since the adoption of OPA No. 94, the above matters have been resolved insofar as:
• the former Walmart building has been occupied by Target;
• the appeal of the former Canada Home Products application has been
upheld by the Board, thereby approving the proposed residential
redevelopment; and
• the Optimist plan of subdivision is registered and now being serviced.
Circulation Comments
• MHBC Planning - clients (RioCan, Home Depot) are not opposed to the
amendment but have concerns regarding the absence of a policy protecting
existing non-residential uses from future residential development. Staff are
negotiating a mutually agreeable policy to be included in the amendment.
• Mark Sirtzinger, Pettit Avenue - would like to see a height limitation to 2
storeys and increased landscaping provisions. Amendment No. 113 is
permissive so as to provide policies to introduce of residential uses within the
node. It does not impact remove policies or regulations which would allow
the node to develop at greater than 2 storeys under current commercial
zoning. Should a developer apply to change the zoning of a parcel of land
to permit residential uses, the policies of OPA #113 would prevail.
Planning Analysis
The Morrison/Dorchester Node was identified because of the extent of commercial land,
employment uses and the development potential of the former Canada Home Products
site, the former Acres site as well as Optimist Park. The Node serves as a municipal and
regional transit hub. Arterial roads provide the opportunity to accommodate traffic.
The node policies provide for a height and density regime that respects existing
neighbourhoods by directing the taller buildings and higher densities to lands south of
Morrison Street and west of Dorchester Road. There are also urban design policies that
promote street frontage buildings, pedestrian accessibility, consolidation of parking
(including consideration of parking reductions and shared parking) and the provision of
amenity space.
The former Canada Home Products site was removed from the node by Council and is
subject to Official Plan Amendment No. 111. These policies would remain in place.
CONCLUSION
The policies provide for compatible intensification of the node. The previous concerns
regarding the redevelopment of properties within and adjacent to the node have been
resolved. Staff are continuing to work towards a resolution of the concerns received.
October 22, 2013 - 3 - PBD-2013-64
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications associated with the proposed amendment.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
Adoption of OPA No. 113 contributes to the City's Strategic Commitment for a Well
Planned City.

Dear Mr.Barnsley:
RE: OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO 113
7190 MORRISON ROAD
OUR FILE 9316BC
We represent Home Depot Holdings Inc. ("Home Depot"),owner and operator of the Home Depot store
municipally addressed at 7190 Morrison Road in the City of Niagara Falls. We have reviewed the
proposed Morrison-Dorchester Node Policies comprising Official Plan Amendment No. 113 and are
concerned with implications for the current and ongoing operation of this Home Depot store.
Our client is not opposed to the proposed permissions for residential development in the Morrison-
Dorchester Node. However, our client is concerned by the absence of a policy protecting existing non-
residential development from future residential development. Home Depot undertakes loading and
unloading operations throughout the day, including night time deliveries. Our client does not want
these operations to be disrupted and as such requests a policy be drafted requiring the submission to
the City and peer review of noise studies by future applicants.We wish to be able to review and confirm
mitigation measures proposed to be implemented, including but not limited to noise warning clauses,
upgraded windows,and mandatory air conditioning.
Further,we respectfully request notice of any future public meetings regarding Official Plan Amendment
No. 113,as well as notice of its adoption.
We would be pleased to meet with City staff to discuss our concerns.
Thank you,
MHBC
