NEW BUSINESS CD-2014-04 NiagarrarnlIs March 25, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2014-04 Amendments to the Live Adult Businesses By-law RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the proposed amendments to the Live Adult Businesses By-law (2002-197). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The municipality has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board to administer, inspect, enforce and license adult entertainment parlours, as per the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law (2002-197, as amended). Any licensing fees collected in the administration and licensing of Adult Entertainment Parlours is kept by the Police Services. The Police Services Board is requesting an increase to the fees associated with Adult Entertainment Parlours. To implement the fee increase, City Council would have to amend By-law 2002-197. Some additional house keeping amendments are also contemplated to assist with the administration of the by-law and to streamline the appeal process before the Adult Entertainment Committee. BACKGROUND City By-law 2002-197 (the "By-law"), is a by-law that provides for the licensing, regulating, governing, classifying and inspecting of body-rub parlours and a certain class of adult entertainment parlours (AEP's). The City has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board (PSB) delegating the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. License fees related to the AEP's are maintained by the PSB. The City maintains the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of body rub parlours and retains the associated fees. The PSB is also involved with the licensing of AEP's in Fort Erie, Welland, Niagara-on-the- Lake and Thorold. In the three former municipalities, the PSB received delegated authority to enact a Board by-law related to the licensing of AEP's in those jurisdictions. In Thorold, and Niagara Falls, the PSB enforces the municipal by-law passed by the respective municipal councils; therefore, any changes the PSB wish to see, related to fees associated with AEP's, requires an amendment of our Live Adult Businesses By-law (2002-197). The PSB has requested an increase in fees, which have not been raised for fifteen (15) years. The PSB approved the related fees for the three municipalities who operate under their by- March 25, 2014 - 2 - CD-2014-04 law and are requesting that Niagara Falls and Thorold do likewise. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Fees The attached correspondence and supporting material from the solicitor of the PSB outlines the consultation process, engaged by the Board, associated with the fee increase. The proposed fee changes are as follows: Class Current Fee Proposed Fee Owner of an AEP $2,500.00 $3,750.00 Operator of an AEP $750.00* $1,200.00 Entertainer at an AEP $125.00 $250.00 "It was discovered that the PSB was not charging the Niagara Falls fee forAEP operators, as per 2002-197. They were only charging $125 for an operator's licence. The supporting documentation provides the PSB's rationale for the proposed fee increase: the fees have not been increased in fifteen (15) years, the fees have fallen behind comparable fees in other jurisdictions, the increase in fees will bring the Adult Entertainment industry in line with other industries the PSB licences and the licensing unit of the PSB has been operating at a deficit (i.e., fee revenues have not kept up with expenses). The City's Live Adult Businesses By-law also has fees associated with Body Rub Parlours. To date, there has been parity in the fees for owners and entertainers/body rubbers. The Body Rub Parlour operator's fee is $400, less than the fee contemplated forAEP operators under our By-law, which makes sense because AEP's tend to be bigger operations with numerous entertainers on a shift at a given time. If the Council is to raise the fees associated with AEP's, should the fees also be raised for Body Rub Parlours? At this time, in light of the fact that City staff has done no consultation with the local body rub industry, no comparable fee increase is being proposed for the classes of licences associated with Body Rub Parlours, however, staff will investigate increases after a more thorough analysis. Staff has no issue with regard to the fees proposed by the PSB. As the City does not pay a direct fee to the PSB for the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours, there is no impact on the municipality. Also, it is appropriate that all municipalities in Niagara have the same fees associated with the AEP's, regardless of location. If the municipality is to contemplate amendments to the Live Adult Businesses By-law, at this time, it is prudent to make other "house keeping" amendments. Hearings March 25, 2014 - 3 - CD-2014-04 Any revocation, suspension or refusal of a business licence allows for an appeal process. Under the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law, a committee of Council has the authority to hear appeals and make recommendations to Council. Currently, an applicant who is refused issuance of a licence has to fill out a form to appeal the denial. If an existing licensee is suspended or has their licence revoked by the Issuer of Licences, they are entitled to an automatic hearing. The licensee does not have to formally appeal. As a result, there have been many"no shows" at the committee hearings. Amendments are proposed that would require the licensee to formally appeal their suspension or revocation. The scheduling of a hearing will no longer be automatic. It should be noted that Thorold made similar amendments to their by-law requiring the licensee to appeal. Administration The other changes to the by-law include including the refusal/notice forms as a schedule to the by-law and changing some language related to circulation of applications to make it permissible, as opposed to mandatory. For example, the Clerk will not circulate an entertainer's application to the Medical Officer of Health, unless there are some concerns about risk to health and safety of the public, as per S. 19(2)(g) of the by-law. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As all licensing revenues associated with Adult Entertainment Parlours go directly to the Police Service Board, there is no impact on the City's revenues. Arguably, if the licensing unit of the PSB was to continue to run deficits, they could approach the municipality for a fee for service for the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. Although the Police Services Board has provided notice to the industry stakeholders, staff has additionally provided notice of the proposed changes to the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Sir: Re: Adult Entertainment Licencing - Proposed Increase in Licencing Fees As you are aware, we act as solicitors to the Police Services Board. Background The Police Services Board is involved in the licencing of the adult entertainment industry in Niagara as follows: 1. In the town of Fort Erie, the City of Welland and the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. the Board has received a delegation of the respective municipality's licencing power and in turn. has enacted a Board bylaw to regulate the licencing of adult entertainment in these jurisdictions. 2. In the City of Niagara Falls and the Cite of I borold, the I oard. through an agreement kith the respective municipality, is responsible Ibr the administration and enlilrcement of a bylaw passed by the municipality. A key difference between the above two scenarios is that in Niagara Falls and lhorold. the legislation is made by the municipality and any amendment thereto must be made by Council. On Thursday, January 23, 2014, the Board enacted Bylaws No. 342-2014 and 343-2014, to increase the licencing fees in respect of adult entertainment licencing for Fort Erie, Welland and Niagara-on- the-Lake. The purpose of this letter is to request that the City of Niagara Falls enact a companion amendment to its Adult Entertainment Licencing Bylaw 2002-197 in relation to licencing fees. 10 Owen Street, P O.Box L 1 St Catharine, Orono CR 7 lone 11 88-boaa,Facsimile 005-68iii-551 1 1781 Portage Read,Ntaiiara Falls.(inner) 21: I elephieiri 90A)57-0301),I tcsund 905A87-05a1 noes lliv.w-urahoncv.coin V.i Ni mVon,Q.C.

The first was a recommendation of the Issuer to increase adult entertainment licensing fees. The second was to hear public submissions about the use of biometrics as part of the licencing process. • The matter of biometrics was referred hack to the Issuer and ultimately not pursued. • No further action was taken by the Board on the issue of fees until 2013, at which time the Issuer of Licences provided Recommendation Report t 09-2013 dated May 7. 2013 to the Police Services Board. That report recommended an increase in the adult entertainment licencing fee from $125.00 to $250.00; an increase in the adult entertainment operator/manager licence fee from $125.00 to $1,200.00; and an increase in the adult entertainment owner/business licence from $2,500.00 to $3,750.00. • The Issuer's Recommendation Report dated May 7, 2013 was circulated to the adult entertainment industry. • The Board's Executive Director received submissions from the industry requesting financial and background information relied on by the Issuer of Licence to generate Report 109-2013. • Between June 3, 2013 and November 13, 2013, at the direction of the Board, the Issuer of Licences prepared an additional analysis of licencing fees, including fees relating to the vehicles for hire industry, which resulted in Report 0258/2013. This report recommends the same licencing fee increases as the earlier report relating to adult entertainment, and also recommended an increase in fees relating to that industry. • The Board set a second public meeting date to deal with the issue of fees for adult entertainment and vehicles for hire and that meeting was scheduled and held on November 1, 2013. • At the November 1 a meeting the Board received submissions from the adult entertainment industry suggesting that the licencing regime be replaced with a registration regime where the dancers would be registered directly at the clubs by owners/operators. • On December 2, 2013, the Licensing Committee held a special meeting to hear additional submissions from the adult entertainment industry with respect to their proposal to convert the licencing of entertainers to a registration system. • At the December 5, 2013 Licensing Committee meeting, the Committee recommended that the licencing fee increase move forward. Page 3 • At the December 3. 2013 Licencing Committee meeting, the Committee also requested that the Issuer of Licences prepare a report back to the Committee on the proposal raised by the industry relating to a proposed registration system. • On January 23, 2014, the Board enacted BvIaw 342-2014 and 343-2014. [he licencing lee increase was made after a public process that invited submissions from the industry with respect to the proposed rate increase. Further, the rate increase was made alter a comprehensive review by the Licencing Dept. which showed that it was not operating on a cost recovery basis. As such, the recommendation was made to the Committee and the Board that Ices with respect to all categories of licence be increased. Please note that adult entertaimnent licencing fees have not been increased since the Board became involved with adult entertainment licencing over 15 years ago. The purpose of this letter is to ask the City to increase its licensing Ices as set out above so that the bylaws will remain uniform.

LICENCING PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY OCTOBER 28,2011 --^^------ PAGE#2 TOPICS OF DISCUSSION Overview: D/Sergeant Craig Labaune, Issuer of Licences Ms. Sara Premi,Solicitor, Sullivan Mahoney Ms. Sara Premi, Board Solicitor, and Detective Sergeant Labaune, welcomed the industry to the Public Meeting, and noted that the purpose of the meeting was to invite industry input on topics outlined below. Discussion focused a proposed increase in fees for adult establishment owners, entertainers and operators and the concept of using a biometric program Ms. Premi acknowledged the presence of Mr.Crossingham and advised that several years ago they had worked jointly to draft the current provisions of the Licensing By-law. She advised that no substantive changes are being proposed other than the fee increases and to introduce the concept of a biometrics program. Detective Sergeant Labaune spoke to the two issues being proposed. (i) Increase in Fees for Owners, Entertainers and Operators A fee increase was proposed for owners,entertainers and operators of adult entertainment establishments. The licencing fees in Niagara are far less than other jurisdictions and have not been increased since the by-laws were put into place in the mid-1990's. The proposed fee increases will keep Niagara in line with Provincial averages. (ii) Biometrics Program The concept of a biometrics program was introduced as a potential enforcement tool that will prevent identity theft, streamline sign-in processes at establishments and combat human trafficking in the Niagara Region. Preliminary discussions have occurred with club owners and operators and the feedback was favourable. The intent of the program will benefit all involved parties, and provide greater efficiency to meet the requirements of the Licencing By-laws. The costs fora biometrics program, if implemented,will be recovered through the increase in licencing fees. GENERAL SUBMISSIONS Acting Committee Chair Stewart called upon any submissions from the floor: Mr.John Crossingham—Crossingham Brady, Barrister and Solicitors Mr. Crossingham expressed concern about the timeliness of the notification provided to the industry. He does not support increasing fees based on provincial averages and stated that cost- recovery should always be the basis for any proposed increases. With respect to biometrics, he raised the issue of privacy. While this type of program can offer some measures of assurance in regards to identity, it is generally done on a volunteer basis as opposed to a demand basis. Mr.Crossingham stressed that this issue needs to be very carefully considered. He also stated that many participants in the adult entertainment industry may not want to publicize that aspect of their careers. It is important that any program of the biometric nature maintain a balance between public and private rights. • LICENCING PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY OCTOBER 28.2011 PAGE U) On behalf of his client,Mr.Simo Rudan of the establishment Crystals, Mr.Crossingham advised that it is thought that there has been little difficulty in terms of enforcement and that the general mood and approach of establishment owners has been one of co-operation. He further advised that the industry is not looking to more regulation through intrusions into the business that are not supported by a substantial purpose. With that being said,Mr.Crossingham advised that industry representatives are skeptical but intransigent in terms of how this matter should be dealt with. He further noted an extreme desire for industry involvement to provide a better understanding and appropriate opportunity for input prior to decisions being made and difficult to reverse. Detective Sergeant Labaune addressed the concerns noted by Mr. Crossingham. In respect to issue of privacy concerns,he advised that this does affect any changes in regulation whatsoever and further confirmed that it would definitely not be made public in any manner. It is basically an enhancement to the process that is already in place. Mr.Crossingham referenced media coverage which supports that as border protection agencies in the United States and Canadian customs and immigration agencies move closer together, there is a greater sharing of data between the two countries. It has been publically reported that people travelling into the United States are finding difficulties when entering because of having been issued a parking ticket. Basically, Mr. Crossingham related that concern to the fact of information sharing being done on an involuntary basis and being performed as a matter of course as opposed to it being performed on a voluntary consensual basis. In addressing Mr.Crossingham's comment,Detective Sergeant Labaune responded that it is the choice of an individual to obtain the applicable licence. He further advised throughout his duties as Issuer of Licences with the Niagara Regional Police Service,he has never been requested to provide information to the Canadian Border Security Agency or any US border security agency. He further noted that there is no free-flow of information from the Licencing Unit to the any bordering agencies and should the issue ever arise, it would have to be dealt with through the proper channels and subject to Freedom of Information legislation. Mr. Crossingham questioned the future direction of the process and Ms. Premi advised that Licencing staff will be submitting a report to the Licencing Committee to discuss to the comments received at the public meeting. The timeframe for implementation of amendments to the by-law has not yet been determined. Acting Committee Chair Stewart clarified the process stating that at the next Licencing Committee meeting, members will decide the next steps, if any,to be taken. Should any future action result from that meeting, the industry will be advised of the Committee's future direction. Mr.Ziged Saskin, Broderick and Partners, Barristers and Solicitors Upon his introduction, Mr. Saskin advised that he is representing Mr. Chris Rudan of the adult entertainment establishment,the Sundowner. He echoed the issues raised by Mr.Crossingham as also being concerns of his client. An additional concern brought forward related to discussions between himself and Mr. Simo Rudan, who has involvement with the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada and concern that the Association did not received any notification of the meeting. He advised that it would be beneficial to have the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada engage in any kind of discussions between the Committee and the Adult Entertainment business owners and entertainers to allow opportunity for members to express their concerns. Ms. Premi responded and advised that notices were mailed to club owners on October 19,2011. She emphasized that there will be no decisions being made at this time and this forum simply allows for feedback. The prospect of holding additional meetings is an option and the Committee is prepared to hear from the industry again if the Board directs the Committee to do so and if that is of something the industry would like to see happen.

The Niagara Regional Police Service has been subsidizing the cost of the Unit with their operating budget.

V D 68 Church Street St. Catharines, Ontario L2R 306 OCT 3 0 2013 Attention: Deb Morton, Executive Director /f✓. f '_ Dear Ms. Morton, Re: Adult Entertainment Licensing Changes We understand that the Police Service Board is considering raising the fees for Adult Entertainment Licences, in particular for entertainers. Our reservations about the enforcement arm being the entity that creates regulatory policy continue unabated. It means that the Commission is the only civilian oversight of the police. It means that the Commissioners can't simply rely on staff and should look to the public and interest groups to assist in the formulation of policy. The proposal that has been circulated is a prime example of the need for the Commission to exercise this public duty. The setting of fees by reference to those charged elsewhere is a fundamentally flawed methodology. In particular, the calculations are erroneous for the following reasons. 1. Four of the fee schedules are from jurisdictions that have structured their bylaws to regulate the use out of existence. Surely not the intent here. Oakville, Richmond Hill, Newmarket and Milton. Why use a fee where never a penny has been collected pursuant to it? Especially when it has probably been set with that precise goal in mind. 2. Four municipalities which have adult uses but do not charge any fees to entertainers are omitted. Windsor, Brampton, Mississauga and London. 3. The municipalities listed that do not charge fees have not been counted in the calculation of the average, Recalculating the numbers using the proper numbers gives the following result: Brantford 215 Burlington 200 CROSSINGHAM, BRADY Ng::2 Cambridge 0 Hatdimand 118 Hamilton 445 Oshawa 250 Ottawa 0 London 0 Windsor 0 Brampton 0 Mississauga 0 Toronto 254 Vaughan 220 Niagara 125 average 130.50 if you eliminate the highest and lowest the average is $115.17 Rather than looking to other jurisdictions to see what the fees are, a much more useful approach would he to see how those jurisdictions regulate the business. Our position is that, in Niagara, this business is over policed to little or no practical effect except to deter dancers from participating in it, The clubs do not have a problem with the licensing of owners and managers, Niagara's licensing of entertainers has created severe difficulties regarding recruitment. The prime area for recruitment is college and university aged women who are using dancing as a means of financing their education. They, obviously, are using stage names for this career and it is not likely to be a line item on their resume. Any objective review of the entertainers working in Niagara will not reveal enforcement problems. No fee is warranted for the licence other than the normal charge for a background check, which is common to anyone working in a sensitive job. We have view with dismay the change in enforcement tactics in recent years. Police and by-law officers descending in a raid on a Friday or Saturday night is not justified and serve no purpose. It is an unnecessary show of force. We seek to establish the essential trust and cooperation required for any effective policing and regulatory administration. We begin with this basic premise: Both the clubs and the police should be on the same page. We don't want trouble and we don't want underage performers or patrons. The threat of the cancellation or suspension CROSSINGHAM, BRADY of a Liquor Licence is a far bigger concern and informs all of the actions of the clubs. We stand ready to work together with the Municipalities and the Police Services Board in creating a fair system that will fit easily with the concept of community based policing. We see several steps that would improve the existing system. i. Set objective standards for what convictions would impact on a licence being issued , renewed, suspended or cancelled. Such a list is contained in the Toronto By-law. 2. Provide that if a background check is current, say within 90 days, from another Canadian police force, that it be accepted in Niagara. 3. Establish an industry - police committee to meet to establish a protocol for inspections. 4. Establish a one year pilot project to test a registration system as is currently used in Windsor, London, Guelph, Brampton, Ottawa and Mississauga. Which brings me to the presentation by Zijad Saskin. All of which is respectfully submit eai. / John A.

Niagara F aant<^Mal&Fens Region is the only jurisdiction in Ontario where entertainers must physically R.B.BURNS attend at the Police Station for the purpose of obtaining a municipal licence,For this reason, entertainers prefer working in other jurisdictions throughout Ontario Er,LUS IG making it difficult for the Industry in Niagara to secure its workforce. k DIOTROLAMO At present, the by-laws of municipalities in Niagara Region require that every z,SASKIN entertainer at an adult entertainment establishment must be liceneed. The Fluent sloae83 licencing process is carried out at the Niagara Regional Police Services Board asa:maa gP g � by police officers in charge of licencing. D.F.MM1RSNE r t (195-I997) The Industry in the Niagara Region proposes a one-year pilot project where the licencing requirements are replaced by a system of registration carried out by the owner of each establishment that will operate in the following manner: I. Every owner/operator(who is already licenced and approved under the by-law) shall require every adult entertainer to complete a registration fonn prior to performing in the Adult Entertainment Business. -9- 2. The completed registration form shall include the following information pertaining to the Entertainer: (a) legal name; (b) current address; (c) former address if changed within the previous two years; and (d) proof of age of majority as evidenced by production of at least two of the following documents of which one must contain photographic identification of the Entertainer: (i)Birth Certificate; (ii)Baptismal Certificate; (iii) Drivers Licence; (iv)Passport; (v) Social Insurance Card. 3. Every Owner/Operator shall retain with the completed registration form a photocopy of the identification provided by the Entertainer. 4. Every Owner/Operator shall, upon request of an Inspector or the Licence Manager, provide forthwith to that individual the valid, completed registration form for any and all Entertainers, together with photocopies of the identification retained with the registration form, 5. Every Owner/Operator shall retain all completed registration forms and photocopies of identification for a period of three years from the date of completion. 6. A registration form is valid for one (1) year from the date it is completed. 7. Every Owner/Operator shall have the Entertainer complete a registration form at least once a year or where any change in information occurs. 8. Every Owner/Operator shall use an approved I.D. Scanner verification electronic swiping Se u d-machinery_ confirm authenticity and validity of the identification presented ERV LID System). With respect to Police Criminal Background Checks, every Owner/Operator shall retain a copy of same along with the registration form.The manner in which the Owners/Operators obtain the -3- Police Criminal Background Check and the timing of obtaining same relative to registration are matters which the Industry suggests be agreed upon in consultation with the Police/Municipality. Reasons for Request: There are several municipalities in the Province of Ontario that have successfully implemented a similar Registration System, rather than a system of Licencing. Most notably, cities such as Mississauga and Brampton have shifted to a system of registration rather than licensing with great success. The system of registration originally started out as a one-year pilot project in Mississauga and in Brampton. After one year's time, the Peel Police reported back that there were zero recorded incidents of non-compliance by the industry. The regulation requiring an adult entertainer to secure a licence is intended to ensure that only those entertainers that are 18 years of age or older are permitted to work in an adult entertainment establishment. This object can be satisfied by the registration system,which compels owners/operators to collect at least 2 pieces of identification(at least one being photo identification), comparing it with the person seeking registration and verifying same using the computer systems developed by the Industry to ensure compliance.In addition to the computer systems used for registration, the establishments shall use SERVALL ID Scanners to confirm the authenticity and validity of identification presented. 1 also point out that the owners have the most to lose if underage entertainers are found in their establishments, and the most to gain by full compliance with the by-law, The risks associated with liquor licences and owner/operator licences are the greatest driving force in motivating the owners to comply with the provisions of the by-law.Therefore, the owners are in the best position to ensure that no one under the age of 18 provides any services in their establishments. Another objective of the regulation is to provide the identities of individuals who provide services as entertainers in adult entertainment establishments.This object can also be attained by requiring owners/operators to register entertainers and only permit those who meet the necessary qualifications to provide services in those establishments and share the information with the authorities as needed or required. Joint Task Committee: The Industry suggests that the Police Board and the Industry set up a joint committee that will oversee the transition from licencing to registration and the one-year pilot project. The Industry suggests that the joint committee develops a policy regarding Criminal Background Checks, waivers or entertainer declarations upon registration. The Industry suggests that the committee meet quarterly to discuss progress and any potential administrative or system issues and offer suggestions. -4- Logistics of Registration—Computer System: Each Establislunent in the Niagara Region shall setup and maintain the computer system designed to register the entertainers. The features of the computer system will be presented to the Board at our meeting. In addition to the registration components of the computer system, the Industry will answer any and all questions relating to the SERVALL ID technology used to authenticate and verify identification upon registration. It is the hope of the Industry that the Niagara Region will have the most advanced system of registration of any jurisdiction in th e Province of Ontario and set a benchmark for the Industry in general.

INTRODUCTIONS Committee Chair Stewart welcomed attendees from the Adult Entertainment Industry to the 2013 Licencing Public Meeting and introduced the Board Members and staff. He noted the purpose of the meeting was to hear submissions from the industry and to outline proposed amendments to the Board's Licencing By-law, Committee Chair Stewart advised that the Board's Licencing Committee is scheduled to meet on December 5, 2013, at which time it will consider the comments and submissions received. A final recommendation with draft amendments will be made to the full Board at a subsequent meeting. 3. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION—OVERVIEW Detective Sergeant Craig Labaune, Issuer of Licences, NRPS, provided the industry with an overview and highlighted the following items: (i) Proposed Licencing Fee Increase—Owners, Entertainers, Operators Detective Sergeant Labaune proposed that licencing fees be increased as outlined in the Notice provided to the Adult Entertainment Industry. He stated that the recommendation is the result of a comprehensive audit that was recently completed of the Licencing Unit. It was discovered that the licencing fees no longer cover the administration and enforcement costs of the Unit and the proposed fee increases are required to ensure cost-recovery of the operation of the NRPS By-law Enforcement and Licencing Unit. It was further noted that the licencing fees have not been increased in over 15 years. Minutes of the Public Licencing Meeting Adult Entertainment Industry November 1,2013 Page 2 4. SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED FROM THE VEHICLES FOR HIRE INDUSTRY Committee Chair Stewart acknowledged the following verbal and written submissions received and indicated that the Board's Licencing Committee would consider the presentations and related correspondence before any recommendations are made. (i) Mr.Tim Lambrinos, Director, Adult Entertainment Association of Canada Mc Lambrinos addressed a former industry request raised at the last Licensing Public Meeting regarding a partnering arrangement between the Adult Entertainment Industry and the police for trend setting purposes of police-related business partnerships. He referenced a study done in Peel that supported the desire of business owners and police to become more interactive and he advised that the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada has developed an education outreach program. The Association currently holds information meetings for the entertainers and he noted that these meetings would allow an opportunity for police involvement with industry members. (ii) Mr.John Crossingham, Solicitor, Crossingham, Brady Mr. Crossingham spoke to the issues outlined in his written submission and further addressed the comments made by Mr. Lambrinos. He referenced the issue of enforcement officials having the ability to make and enforce industry rules as being a 'bad idea", noting there needs to be much better dialogue on the development of the rules. He also referenced issues relating to police "raids" at dubs during peak times as it brings the operations to a halt. He views this issue as excessive and improper and stated that if fee increases are going to contribute to an increase of enforcement activity then it undermines the credibility of the police service within the business community. Mr. Crossingham advised of the common objective of police and club owners to operate without underage performers and/or underage patrons. He stressed the importance of developing a better regulatory system and advised that critical steps need to be taken in this area by setting objective standards. He advised that a more effective regulatory system can be established by having an elected or appointed representative serve as a member on the Adult Entertainment Industry Committee to ensure that there is public input when developing regulations as opposed to police developed rules and regulations and requested this practice be done on a pilot project basis. (iii) Mr.Zijad Saskin,Solicitor, Broderick & Partners Mr. Saskin stated that he was acting as legal counsel for Niagara Falls club owners Chris Rudan and Carmen Grisafi. He referenced his written submission, which outlines the collective position of the adult entertainment industry in Niagara that the current licencing system should be replaced by a registration system to meet by-law requirements and address concerns of police and industry representatives. The industry is proposing a one-year pilot project where licencing requirements are replaced by a system of registration carried out by the owner of each establishment. He suggested that the Board and the industry set up a Joint Committee to oversee the transition from licensing to registration and the one-year pilot project. Mr. Saskin stated that there are several municipalities that have successfully implemented a similar registration system, such as Mississauga and Brampton. Peel Police have reported that there are zero incidents of non-compliance by the industry. He further advised that Niagara is the only jurisdiction in Ontario where entertainers must physically attend at a police station for the purpose of obtaining a licence. It was also noted that the risks associated with liquor licences and owner/operator licences are the greatest driving force in motivating by-law compliance. Minutes of the Public licencing Meeting Adult Entertainment Industry November 1,2013 Page 3 (iv) Mr.Tom Cousineau—Backlit Resource Group Mr. Cousineau provided a brief overview of the "SERVALL ID Scanner" system used for registration in the adult entertainment industry. He provided details on the technical capabilities of the system, which operates on-line and allows for information sharing between clubs and provides information access method for police purposes. 5. GENERAL SUBMISSIONS There were no submissions from the floor. 6. RESPONDING SUBMISSIONS FROM THE INDUSTRY There were no responding submissions or comments from the floor. In closing, Committee Chair Stewart advised that additional submissions will be accepted by the Board and should be made in writing and filed with the Board office no later than Friday, November 15, 2013. 7.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2014-03 Adult Entertainment Hearing, February 25 RECOMMENDATION That based on the recommendation of the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee, the decision of the Issuer of Licences, in the revocation of a licence, be upheld. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Any revocation, suspension or refusal of a business licence allows for an appeal process. Under the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law, a committee of Council has the authority to hear appeals and make recommendations to Council. An appeal was heard on February 25, 2014 at City Hall. The appeal was as a result of the revocation (Revocation hearing) of a licence of an entertainer who had recently been charged under the Criminal Code. Revocations of licences automatically lead to a hearing before the committee. The hearing followed the provisions of the Live Adult Businesses By-law. Upon conclusion of the evidence, the committee made a decision and their recommendation is contained in the recommendation report for Council's approval. BACKGROUND City By-law 2002-197 (the "By-law"), is a by-law that provides for the licensing, regulating, governing, classifying and inspecting of body-rub parlours and a certain class of adult entertainment parlours. The City has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board delegating the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. The City maintains the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of body rub parlours. Under By-law 2002-197, the Issuer of Licence may revoke a licence if the continuing to hold a licence would infringe the rights or endanger the safety of one or more members of the public, as per section 19(2) of the by-law. An existing licensee, who has their licence revoked, automatically receives a hearing before the committee of Council. Upon conclusion of a hearing before the Committee, a written report shall, as soon as practical, be presented to Council. This report is a result of an appeal heard on February 25, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. in Committee March 25, 2014 - 2 - CD-2014-03 Room #1, City Hall arising out of the revocation of an adult entertainer's license by the Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board. Notice of the hearing was posted on the Committee section of the City's website. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Revocation Hearing The Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board issued a recommendation to revoke the licence of an adult entertainer. The entertainer had been recently charged with a theft under $5000 charge. Although the charge is not a conviction, and relatively minor, the entertainer made inculpatory statements to the Issuer of Licences that would fall under the ambit of S. 19(2)(g) of the By-law related to endangerment of the health and safety of the public: 19(2)(g): the past or present conduct of the applicant or of anyone or more of the persons referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection affords reasonable grounds for belief that the carrying on of the business in respect of which the licence is sought would infringe the rights, or endanger the health or safety, of one or more members of the public; Although provided notification of the hearing date, the Entertainer did not attend to make representations as to why the licence should not be revoked. Based on the testimony heard at the hearing, the Committee recommends that the decision of the Issuer of Licences to revoke the licence be upheld. Based on the Committee's recommendation, Council can uphold the revocation of the licences as per section 15(6)(d) of the By-law. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The hearing and recommendation report are in compliance with the provisions of the City's Live Adult Businesses By-law (2002-197, as amended).

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2014-10 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 February 28, 2014 were $18.8 million compared to $18.9 million in 2013. During February, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased slightly from 23.4% in 2013 to 23.1% in 2014. The City's finance staff has begun the tax collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2014. There are currently thirty-seven 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 2014 improved slightly during the month of February. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at February 28, 2014 are$18.8 million. This represents a decrease from $18.9 million in arrears for the same period in 2013. 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, 2014, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after two months of activity. This table shows 58.7% of the tax accounts or 228 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During February, twenty accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 43.7% (January) to 58.7% (February). March 25, 2014 - 2 - F-2014-10 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 February, five registered properties were redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 2.7% 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 February 28, 2014 is 23.1% which is a slight decrease from 2013's value of 23.4%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

MW-2014-11 Niagara,Falls March 25, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2014-11 Drinking Water System Summary Report RECOMMENDATION That this report be received and filed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, each municipal Council having jurisdiction over its water distribution system is required to receive and publish an Annual Summary Report prior to March 31 in each calendar year. This report provides technical data regarding the system's performance. Additionally, attached is the DWQMS Management Review which is to be provided to the system Owner annually. The Management Review evaluates the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the quality management system. This year's report confirms that the City is operating in accordance with all current legislation and is taking appropriate measures to guarantee the safety of the drinking water quality to all of its consumers. BACKGROUND Each year the Annual Summary report is presented to Council to illustrate the effectiveness and performance of the drinking water system. The attached Annual Summary report provides detailed quantitative and qualitative information regarding the performance of the drinking water system. Also, attached is the DWQMS Management review. The purpose of the Management review is to evaluate quality management system on an annual basis. As previously reported to Council in reports MW-2012-12 and MW-2013-05, Section 19, of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 came into force on December 31, 2012. Section 19, entitled Standard of Care, Municipal Drinking Water System states that the Owner and/or each person on behalf of the Municipality that oversees the operating authority or exercises decision making authority over the system must exercise the level of care, diligence and skill in respect of a municipal drinking water system that a reasonable prudent person would be expected to exercise in a similar situation. Section 19, in its entirety, has been attached for your reference. March 25, 2014 -2 - MW-2014-011 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, The Annual Summary Report must be received by the drinking water system owner by a date of no later then March 31 of the following year. Failure to submit this would contravene the Safe Drinking Water Act. The drinking water quality management standard requires that the results of the Management Review be provided to the Owner on an annual basis. Failure to provide the results would initiate a non-conformance with the standard. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This report and the attached water distribution system annual summary report are consistent with Council's strategic commitment to continually monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of the City's operations.

WESA—A consulting firm performing internal audits for the City Page 3 of 9 2013 DWQMS Management Review Introduction Element 18 of the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard states that a Management Review must be completed once every 12 months. This review is to be completed with the person(s) deemed Top Management in the Drinking Water System. The purpose of the Management Review is to document the actions and effectiveness of the Quality Management System. The outcome of the Management Review must be reported to the Owner of the Drinking Water System. The information reported to the Owner can be relayed at the same time as the Annual Drinking Water System Report, scheduled to be given to Council in February. 1. Incidents of regulatory non-compliance In September, the Ministry of the Environment completed an onsite inspection. One incidents of regulatory non-compliance were indicated in the November 4, 2013 inspection report. The City received a compliance rating of 99.01%. Below is the incident of non-compliance, the text in red details the actions taken to rectify and prevent future none compliances. 1 —When reviewing watermain mapping, it was found that the Spring Street watermain replacement had not been incorporated into the mapping. In order to prevent this from occurring again, a meeting was held with stakeholders from Engineering, Environmental Services and Infrastructure to determine a work flow. This work flow was established and provided to the MOE in order to close the non-compliance. 2. Incidents of adverse drinking-water tests As of December 17, 2012 there have been 2 drinking water samples that resulted in an adverse test result. i) February 2 2013 — Lead — Hydrant located at 5309 Victoria Ave ii) August 22 2013 — Lead — Hydrant located at 3381 Front St In each case, Staff followed SOP "MW-ES-DWS-SOP-012-001 — Adverse Water Quality Incident Reporting". Each incident was resolved by re-sampling. A copy of MW-ES-DWS-SOP-012-001 can be found in Appendix A of this document. Page 4 of 9 It was determined the source of the lead was contamination from other hydrants. When staff applies grease to the hydrant ports the grease gun comes in contact with the port. When travelling from older hydrants to new hydrants, leaded brass particles from older hydrants can be placed on the newer hydrant ports creating a false positive. 3. Deviations from critical control point limits and response actions There were no deviations from critical control points in this report period. 4. Efficacy of the risk assessment process The current Risk Assessment has gone through a full review in 2013. Backflow and unauthorized consumption of water are the two biggest risks to the distribution system. During the internal audit, the auditor identified certain risks as "uncontrollable". The majority of these risks are related to processes that take place at the treatment plant. However, backflow or unauthorized consumption are also "uncontrollable" risks. The auditor advised that these risks should be identified as such in the risk assessment. As the City can have reactionary procedures to these events, however there are not procedures available that are proactive to prevent an issue from occurring. During the 2014Risk Assessment, the aforementioned items will be addressed and reviewed. A copy of the 2013 Risk Assessment can be found in Appendix B of this report. 5. Third-party and Internal audit reports Third Party Audit In October NSF International performed a surveillance (off site) audit of the City's DWQMS documentation. Zero incidents of non-conformance were found during the audit and only suggestions to improve the QMS were provided. Page 5 of 9 Internal Audit An internal audit was completed by WESA took place on December 13 2013. 4 non-conformances were found during this audit, a brief description is as follows, response to correct the non-conformance is in red: - A flow chart for the water process has been created but not incorporated into the operational plan. The flow chart will be included in the next submission for endorsement to Council prior to the re-submission to the MOE in March 2014. - Items have been listed in the Risk Assessment as having a Critical Control Limit that technically cannot be controlled by the City, for example Backflow cannot be controlled and should only be considered an emergency response action. During the 2014 Risk Assessment focus will be put on each critical control point and if it can actually control the risk or if the procedure is emergency response based. - Staff were not given DWQMS training in 2013 The DWQMS Coordinator has been working on a brief training session to address this issue. - No action items were recorded from the 2012 Management Review If no action items from the 2013 Management Review are produced the DWQMS Coordinator will make not in the minutes that no action items were produced. A copy of the draft internal audit report can be found in Appendix C of this report. 6. Results of emergency response testing On November 26 2013, Environmental Services Staff participated in an Emergency Response desktop training exercise. The scenario detailed a Regional watermain break near the Kent Ave reservoir where no service was lost to residents. However, in order to flush the repaired watermain break the Region needed to flush via City mains and hydrants. The scenario also detailed the current Region practice of slug chlorination of watermain when cuts are made into the watermain. Page 6 of 9 Portions of this exercise were taken from the slug chlorination issues that occurred when the Region slug chlorinated a newly installed watermain on Livingstone St. A copy of the exercise and associated information can be found in Appendix D of this report. 7. Operational performance In 2013 Environmental Services responded to 73 watermain breaks. The QMS Coordinator is now tracking breaks and comparing the date with temperature day of the break, average temperature of the 7 days prior to the break and precipitation 7 days prior to the break to determine if there is a strong correlation between weather and break activity. This may aid in future operational planning and staffing going forward. 8. Raw water supply and drinking-water quality trends The Region of Niagara is responsible for all sampling and testing of raw water. Through the hydrant maintenance program, Staff has found areas of the drinking water system were weekly or bi-weekly flushing can improve water quality, these areas are tracked via a flushing report form, this practice has continued through into 2013. Source water temperature changes in late spring and fall result in resident inquires about chlorine levels. The majority of these calls originate from the south end of the City, the area closets to the water treatment plant. Weekly, chlorine residual results are received from the Region of Niagara, these results indicate no significant fluctuation in chlorine levels leaving the treatment plant. This remains unchanged in 2013. In 2014 the DWQMS Coordinator will be working with counterparts at the Region to track the formation of THM's in the system. THM's have been on the rise over the last 3 years, and although not reaching half of maximum acceptable concentration, it is agreed that further testing and understand can prevent reaching half MAC. 9. Follow-up on action items from previous management reviews The 2012 Management review resulted in no action items. Page 7 of 9 10. Status of management action items identified between management reviews The 2012 Management review resulted in no action items. 11. Changes that could affect the Quality Management System June 2014 is the anticipated release date of an amended DWQMS, the proposed amendments have yet to be placed on the EBR. 12. Consumer feedback (i.e., internal & external communications) No consumer feedback regarding the QMS was received. 13. Resources needed to maintain the Quality Management System In both 2012 and 2013, the internal audit was performed by a Consultant. In each year, extremely valuable information was received by from the Consultant. Going forward, the QMS Rep is of the opinion that a Consultant should continue to perform the internal audit. A different Consultant was chosen in each of the past two years, this provided a different perspective each time. Based on availability, the QMS Rep will secure the Consultant from 2012 for the 2014 audit, to maintain fresh eyes but also keep continuity and familiarity of the City's system. 14. Results of DWQMS Infrastructure Review The DWQMS Infrastructure Review, is one of many inputs aiding in the decision making process when determining Capital Works. The QMS Rep and Manager, Assets and Infrastructure have worked together on prioritizing the proposal of capital work for design. Suggestions given by Environmental Services staff based on previous experience, these were taken into consideration along with other factors such as sewer separate. Page 8 of 9 15. Operational Plan currency, content & updates Multiple changes to the operational plan and associated documentation will be made based on the suggestions of both the auditor from NSF International and WESA. These changes will be brought forward to City Council for approval prior to submission to the Ministry of the Environment for licence renewal. 16. Staff suggestions To date, no Staff suggestions have been made to improve the QMS. Page 9 of 9 MW-2014-11 Attachment #3 Standard of care, municipal drinking water system 19.

NiagaraJalls City of Niagara Falls Water Distribution System Annual Summary Report Period: January 1 , 2013 to December 31 , 2013 Waterworks Number: 260002304 Created February 2014 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Waterworks Description 1 Compliance 2 Municipal Drinking Water Licensing Program 2 Safe Drinking Water Act 3 Niagara Falls Water Quality Test Results 4 Adverse Water Quality Incidents and Actions 4 Operational Activities 5 Flow Rates 6 Definitions 7 City of Niagara Falls Water Distribution Annual Summary Report Introduction In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act this report provides members of Niagara Falls Municipal Council, the legal Owners of the water distribution system with an annual summary report of actions that took place from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. In accordance with the Act, this report must list any time the City failed to meet the conditions and requirements of the Acts, Regulations, Approvals, Drinking Water Works Permits, Municipal Drinking Water Licences and Orders issued by the Ministry of the Environment. For each requirement not met, the report must specify the duration of the failure and the measures taken to correct the failure. Additionally, the report must list the summary of the quantities and flows of the water supplied. Waterworks Description The City of Niagara Falls is a class 2 water distribution system, which receives all treated water from the Regional Municipality of Niagara via the Niagara Falls Water Treatment Plant. The raw water source is surface water supplied from the Niagara River, via the Welland River. The distribution system consists of approximately 500 km of watermain, 2,806 fire hydrants and 4,340 valves owned and operated by the City of Niagara Falls. Additionally, there is 45 km of watermain owned and operated by the Regional Municipality of Niagara. The size of watermains owned by the City of Niagara Falls range from 25mm to 450 mm in size. Additional information regarding the Niagara Falls Water Treatment Plant can be found on the Regional Municipality of Niagara website. Website http://www.niagararegion.ca/home.aspx Water Distribution Summary Report 1 Niagarafulls Compliance Municipal Drinking Water Licensing Program As part of a recommendation made by Justice 0' Connor during the Walkerton Inquiry, the Ministry of the Environment has introduced a new program, the Municipal Drinking Water Licensing Program. This program requires the Drinking Water System Owner (City of Niagara Falls) to obtain a licence to operate their drinking water system. There are four components to each licence; the Drinking Water Works Permit, Implementation of a Drinking Water Quality Management System, Accreditation of the Quality Management System and preparation of a Financial Plan. • Drinking Water Work Permit allows the Municipality to alter, add, replace, modify and extend the drinking water based on a series of predefined conditions. • Drinking Water Quality Management System (DWQMS) is a series of 21 elements that address all aspects of a water system. The overall goal of the DWQMS is continuous improvement with respect to planning, operating and reviewing the drinking water system. Through the creation of an operational plan the drinking water system Owner demonstrates the ability to operate a safe and effective drinking water system, while continuously monitoring performance and compliance via internal and external audits. • Accreditation of the Quality Management System is achieved through internal and external audits, the goal of these audits are to ensure that the Owner is following the processes and procedures laid out in the operational plan. The Ministry of the Environment has engaged in an agreement with the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) to act as the Quality Management System accreditation body. • Ontario Regulation 453/07, Safe Drinking Water Act requires that each Owner prepare a Financial Plan for the drinking water system. The City has retained a consultant to aid in the preparation of the Financial Plan. In 2013, the City's Drinking Water Quality Management System was audited by NSF-ISR. Zero non-conformances were found during this audit, allowing the City to receive accreditation meeting the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002. rWater Distribution Summary Report 2 Niagaralalls Safe Drinking Water Act To remain compliant with the Safe Drinking Water Act, the City performs a minimum of 88 microbiological samples a month. Each of these samples is taken from a different location, providing a diverse profile of the water distribution system. Disinfection levels showing a free chlorine residual are also taken at the time of each sample; ensuring proper disinfection levels are maintained. The City takes additional free chlorine residuals throughout the week, again to ensure proper disinfection levels are maintained. The City also takes water samples testing for elevated levels of trihalomethanes (TFIM), a chlorine disinfection by-product. The City takes these water samples from areas where the formation of THM would most likely occur. The Ministry of the Environment has also provincially mandated a Community Lead Testing Program. The City has been granted permission, by the Ministry of the Environment to reduce the number of lead samples taken per sampling window due to the ratio of results that meet the Provincial Water Quality Objectives, compare to the samples that do not. The sample numbers have been reduced to 40 resident samples and 4 non-residential samples. This must be done once between December 15 and April 15 and again June 15 to October 15th, on an on going cycle. All of the aforementioned samples, in accordance with the Act must be taken by an individual with a Water Operators licence or a Water Quality Analyst licence. These licences are distributed by the Ontario Water Wastewater Certification Office, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 128/04, Safe Drinking Water Act. Samples are then taken to a Ministry of the Environment approved laboratory. Laboratories must meet quality standards determined by the Ministry of the Environment and are audited by the Canadian Association for Laboratories Accreditation. In the event an incident occurs where water samples do not meet Provincial water quality standards, this is deemed an Adverse Water Quality Incident (AWQI). This is detailed further in the chart following entitled Adverse Water Quality Incidents and Actions An Annual Drinking Water Report has been completed and is available free of charge to the public through the City website and at the Municipal Service Centre. Members of the public may also view water sample results at the Municipal Service Centre. On December 31 , 2012 section 19 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002. Section 19 entitled, Standard of Care came into force. This section requires the Owner of the Drinking Water System and each person with decision making authority to exercise the level of care, diligence and skill in respect of a municipal drinking water system that a reasonably prudent person would be expected to exercise in a similar situation and to act honestly, competently and with integrity with a view ensuring the protection and safety of the users of the drinking water system. Section 19 has been listed as an attachment to the accompanying Council Report. /cp, Water Distribution Summary Report 3 N iagar a fails Niagara Falls Water Quality Test Results Parameter MAC Number of Samples Range Comments Microbiological Analysis Escherichia Coli 0 1335 0 Indicates presence of fecal (E.

The City is then required as per Ministry of the Environment regulations to verbal notify the Regional Public Health Unit and the Ministry of the Environment Spills Action Centre. Additionally, the City has chosen to contact our local Ministry of the Environment Inspector to share this information. These individuals are then faxed the same information that was shared verbally. To ensure water safety, the City immediately sends a member of staff to flush the nearest fire hydrant, and take additional water samples at the source of the AWQI, as well as upstream and downstream of the AWQI. This occurs for two consecutive days at minimum until the City receives verbal notification from the laboratory that the water samples are all clear. �j%�/ Water Distribution Summary Report 4 Niagaraf'nlls In the above table, the column "Date of Resolution" indicates the date in which the City has received copies of the laboratory results and submits the "Notice of Resolution" to the Ministry of the Environment and Public Health Unit. It should be noted that an Adverse Water Quality Incident does not indicate that the drinking water is unsafe; rather it indicates that with respect to that specific sample, the Provincial water quality objective was exceeded. In the event a lead result exceeds the Provincial standard, this result does not indicate system wide lead levels, rather the sample is site specific. Possible sources of lead include; lead solder, leaded brass fixtures and lead service lines. Prior to 1955 it was common to use lead water service lines as opposed to copper due to the malleability of lead. Properties that have lead results that exceed the Provincial standard are given an information package on ways to best reduce lead in their drinking water. Operational Activities In 2013, the City of Niagara Falls experienced 73 water main breaks, compared to 69 in the previous year. Staff is reviewing weather and precipitation data in an effort to find a correlation between weather, precipitation patterns and watermain breaks. With all watermain breaks, the City follows a standard operating procedure, detailing the steps taken to repair the water main, while ensure water quality. Following the water main break, microbiological samples are taken upstream and downstream of the break; ensuring the break was repaired in such a way that water quality levels were not affected. /,�,�,f Water Distribution Summary Report 5 Niagaraj�utls Flow Rates 2013 Monthly Water Flow Rates (Mega Litres) Month Quantity (ML) January 1268.436 February 1135.014 March 1290.683 April 1246.725 May 1660.373 June 1517.542 July l 1710.281 August 1739.622 September 1476.984 October 1390.843 November 1358.345 December 1263.231 Total 17,058.079 Monthly Average 1,421.50 Daily Average 46.68 1 Mega Litre = 1,000,000 Litres l/,/,.ice Water Distribution Summary Report 6 Niagarapall.s Definitions MAC - Maximum Acceptable Concentration This is a health-related standard established for parameters which when present above a certain concentration, have known or suspected adverse health effects.

Microbiological analysis is the most important aspect of drinking water quality due to its association with dangerous waterborne diseases. (Paraphrased from Ontario Drinking Water Standards. Ministry of the Environment.) Total Coliform - the group of bacteria most commonly used as an indicator of water quality. The presence of these bacteria in a water sample indicates inadequate filtration and / or disinfection. (Ontario Drinking Water Standards. Ministry of the Environment.) Escherichia coli (E. coli) - a sub-group of coliform bacteria. It is most frequently associated with recent fecal pollution. The presence of E. coli or fecal coliforms in drinking water is an indications of sewage contamination. (Ontario Drinking Water Standards. Ministry of the Environment) Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) - an estimate of the number of background bacteria present in the distribution system. It is not an indicator of fecal contamination, but more a general indicator of disinfection effectiveness and distribution system status with respect to biofilm presence and the influence of bacterial re-growth in the distribution system. r, -- Water Distribution Summary Report 7 Yiagararnlls Trihalomethanes (THM's) - The maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for Trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water is 0.10 mg/L based on a four quarter moving annual average of test results. Trihalomethanes are the most widely occurring synthetic organics found in chlorinated drinking water. The four most commonly detected Trihalomethanes in drinking water are chloroform, bromodichloromethane, chiorodibromomethane and bromoform. The principal source of Trihalomethanes in drinking water is the action of chlorine with naturally occurring organics (precursors) left in the water after filtration. Lead - Metals, for the most part, are naturally present in source water, or are the result of industrial activity. Some, such as Lead, may enter the drinking water from plumbing in the distribution system. Lead can occur in the source water as a result of erosion of natural deposits. The most common source of lead is corrosion of the household plumbing. The MAC for lead levels is 0.010 mg/L. r,/, t Water Distribution Summary Report 8 N is°a ra/'a;IN /ty:X741, PBD-2014-16 NiagarappUs March 25, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M.

BACKGROUND The City has received three (3) applications for funding assistance under the Residential Loan Program for properties within the Downtown CIP Area. Council recently approved Commercial Building and Facade Improvement Grant applications for each of these properties. March 25, 2014 - 2 - PBD-2014-16 Appendix 1 illustrates the location of the applications and Appendix 2 summarizes the grant and improvement estimates and the amount of money eligible for each application under both the City and Regional Programs. Residential Loan Programs The three residential loan program applications propose the renovations of a total of eight (8) residential units for the Downtown. The applicant has estimated a cost of eligible works under Residential Loan Program of $143,550 for the eight (8) Residential units. Under the Residential Loan Program, the applicant is eligible for an interest free loan. The loan is calculated based on $20 per square foot of habitable floor space per unit up to a fixed limit. The owner is entitled to 60% of the loan once 60% of the renovations are complete. Likewise, when 80% and 100% of the works are complete, the applicant is entitled to that amount of the loan. The repayment of the loan begins one year following completion of the project and is repaid over a 5-year period. The loan will be secured by way of a mortgage registered on title.Approximately$107,600 is being provided by the City in this case for the no-interest loan. It is a requirement of the Community Improvement Program that properties have been brought up to code (building/fire) for the intended use and that there are no outstanding taxes owed on the lands. The City's Property Standards Division has conducted a site visit of each of the properties noting areas that need work to be brought up to code. A second visit will confirm that the required works have been done prior to any loan payments. It has been noted by the Finance Department that several of the properties do have outstanding taxes. As a condition of the applications and the corresponding agreements, any outstanding taxes must be paid prior to the issuance of loan money by the City. A property search will be required on the property and the loan value must be less than the assessed value to ensure it does not result in the existing debts exceeding the value of the property. ANALYSIS This property is zoned CBD - Central Business District in the City's Zoning By-law 79-200 which encourages residential development above the first floor of commercial uses. A total of eight (8) apartment units will be renovated. The proposed construction meets with the intent of the City's Residential Loan Incentive Program by promoting the redevelopment of vacant underutilized space and encouraging the revitalization of the Downtown area. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The cost to the municipality of the residential loan program is the foregone interest as the monies advanced. The interest cost is shared equally by the City and the Region. The estimate cost to the City of the three loan applications is approximately $6,800. This will be funded from the CIA reserve. The balance in the reserve unemcumbered is approximately $275,000. March 25, 2014 -3 - PBD-2014-16 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The application for funding assistance will help stimulate revitalization within the Downtown area. The cost to the City for the loan will occur once the first portion of the loan is provided to the applicant which is expected to be in spring of 2015.

(Robert O'Dell - Managing Partner) Agent: Upper Canada Consulting (Jennifer Vida) RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the inclusion of the condition in the attached Appendix A to the conditions of draft plan approval for the Warren Woods Estates Phase 3 Plan of Subdivision being Appendix A of Report No. PBD-2014-12. 2. That Council determine that the change of conditions warrants notice in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On February 11, 2014, 2124487 Ontario Ltd. received draft plan approval to subdivide the lands known as 7913 Kalar Road into 225 lots for single detached dwellings, four blocks for on-street townhouse dwellings (20 units), one block for a future apartment building (50 units) and a block for a walkway. Cytec Canada Inc. (Cytec) has appealed Council's decision on the grounds that it was not circulated notice of the application and required the inclusion of a notice clause about its operations in the conditions of draft plan approval. Cytec has indicated that it will withdraw its appeal upon the inclusion of such a condition. The notice clause would be included in the subdivision agreement and advise purchasers of Cytec's operations. Planning staff supports including this condition, as it is consistent with the condition included in Phase 1 and 2 of the Warren Wood Subdivision and is good practice to notify home owners of nearby heavy industrial operations. BACKGROUND Proposal The Warren Woods Estates Phase 3 plan of subdivision was draft approved on February 11, 2014. The plan which includes 225 lots for single detached dwellings, four blocks for March 25, 2014 - 2 - PBD-2014-17 on-street townhouse dwellings (20 units), one block for a future apartment building (50 units) and a block for a walkway. Schedule one shows the location of the subject lands and Schedule 2 shows the design of the plan of subdivision. Cytec appealed Council's decision on March 4, 2014 since it was not circulated notice of the application, as required in the Garner South Secondary Plan. Cytec has advised the City and applicant that it would withdraw its appeal if a condition to require a notice clause is added in the conditions of draft approval. The proposed condition is worded as follows: The following notice clause shall be included in the Subdivision Agreement and in any Condominium Agreement and in any Site Plan Agreement and in all Agreements of Purchase and Sale for the subdivision lots and blocks, and in any leases: "Cytec Canada Inc. ("Cytec') owns lands located north of the Welland River and west of Garner Road. Cytec's lands are designated Industrial and zoned for heavy industrial uses. Cytec operates chemical manufacturing and industrial facilities on its lands and may in the future expand its operations by expanding or adding to its existing buildings or constructing new buildings and/or intensifying its operations. Cytec may also erect and/or construct and operate facilities for any of the uses permitted in the City's Zoning By-law. Cytec's use of its lands may generate odour and air emissions and create noise, together with other industrial effects. Cytec is a member of the Canadian Chemical Producer's Association and has been verified under the Responsible Care Codes of Practice. This notice clause includes any successors and/or assigns in title to Cytec." ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Conditions of Approval The proposed condition is a warning clause that would be included in the subdivision agreement, and ultimately in offers of purchase and sale, to advise home owners of the proximity of Cytec's operations. The applicant has no objection to the addition of the proposed condition. Planning staff support inclusion of the proposed condition since it is good practice to notify home owners of nearby heavy industrial operations. Also, the inclusion of this condition will avoid the need to proceed with an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, which will save time and money for all parties involved. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed condition poses no financial implications if approved. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed condition is in keeping with the intent of the Garner South Secondary Plan.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2014-18 Regional Development Charge Collection RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council endorses the Service Level Agreement for the collection and remittance of Regional Development Charges. 2. That Council approve the related by-law authorizing the execution of the Service Level Agreement between the City of Niagara Falls and the Regional Municipality of the Niagara. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In light of a recent Lean review of the process for calculation and collection of Regional Development Charges, Regional Staff have drafted a new Service Level Agreement to formalize the relationship between the Regional Municipality of Niagara and the Building Departments of the twelve municipalities within the Region. The Region has requested execution of the Service Level Agreement by each of the municipalities. The proposed Service Level Agreement has been reviewed by both Legal and Building Staff and recommendation is made to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND For years the City of Niagara Falls has participated, as have most municipalities in the Niagara Region, in calculating and collecting the Regional Development Charges owed at time of building permit issuance. These fees are collected by the municipality as a component of the building permit submission process, deposited and tracked internally by the City and ultimately remitted to the Region throughout the year on a quarterly basis. The Lean process review was initiated by the Region and included several of the Chief Building Officials from Niagara municipalities as part of the consultation group. A Lean review is a methodology for process review to examine process and to determine whether each step in the process adds or detracts value from the overall process. The result of the review is intended to eliminate unnecessary steps in process and to find efficiencies for necessary steps to increase their value to the overall process. March 25, 2014 - 2 - PBD-2014-18 result of the review is intended to eliminate unnecessary steps in process and to find efficiencies for necessary steps to increase their value to the overall process. The purpose of this particular Lean process review was to map out the calculation and collection of Regional Development Charges process to identify areas of concern and to find efficiencies for various components of the process. Through the review, several key concerns were raised and opportunities for efficiencies discussed with the resulting recommendations being captured in the terms of reference provided in the proposed Service Level Agreement (attached). ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Staff have had an opportunity to carefully review the proposed Service Level Agreement and have met with representatives from the Region to address key concerns and to ensure that the City's interests were respected in the Service Level Agreement as well as those of the Region. City Staff were adamant that while a role is served by Building Services Staff in the collection of the fees, Building Services Staff shall not be responsible for the interpretation and calculation of any Regional Development Charge. It was agreed that City Staff could utilize the applicable table of RDC fees for residential developments and that all larger scale projects will have their fees calculated by Regional Staff through the submission of necessary information by Building Services. Subsequently, once the Region has interpreted their by-law and relayed the appropriate amount of fees applicable to each permit, other than low density residential, Building Services Staff will collect the required fee prior to issuance of the Building Permit. The remittance of the fees to the Region was another area which was discussed between City and Regional Staff to make improvements to the process. Historically, Building Services Staff would collect the fee and submit it to Finance for deposit. The collected RDC fees were then required to be tracked internally and reconciled on a quarterly basis to verify the corresponding values were collected. To improve the overall process, this task was simplified greatly. The agreed upon revised process will see Building Services Staff continue to collect the applicable RDCs prior to permit issuance, however instead of depositing the monies internally, Building Services will forward each cheque to the Region for their deposit and processing. This change is significant as it results in a far more streamlined process internally eliminating the need for constant tracking, auditing, reconciliation and co-ordination of remittance. These process improvements reflected in the Service Level Agreement being proposed for execution by Council present significant benefit for the City of Niagara Falls on two fronts. Through altering participation in the collection and calculation process as defined in the new terms of reference the City is able: 1. to shed the responsibility for calculation of the fees owing to the Region by obtaining the required calculations from the Region thus reducing liability for incorrect fee calculations; and March 25, 2014 3 - PBD-2014-18 2. to eliminate the labour and time involved my municipal staff to track, audit, reconcile and co-ordinate the remittance of Regional Development Charge fees on a quarterly basis The initiation of this new process is intended to commence at the start of the second quarter of the year, April 1, 2014. This will allow for the current process to end at the completion of a quarter thus creating a clean transition to the new process. CONCLUSION: The new Service Level Agreement offers the City of Niagara Falls an improved level of protection in areas where they may have been exposed in the previous arrangement. The agreement also improves process and creates efficiencies to allow for a more separate and defined payment to the Region rather than having it confused with other collected fees owed to the City as part of the Building Permit process. Ultimately the new Service Level Agreement allows for the City to continue its collection service of RDC fees to provide convenience to the public while offering a higher level of protection and efficiency throughout. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT: This initiative is in compliance with the City's strategic priorities as it encourages positive customer service through coordinated and cooperative efforts with the Region of Niagara.

That the attached Service Level Agreement (Appendix 1) with the local area municipalities for administration of Regional development charges BE APPROVED; 2. That a copy of this report BE CIRCULATED to all local area municipalities for approval of the Service Level Agreement; and 3. That staff BE DIRECTED to develop implementation plans in cooperation with the local building departments, related to process improvements required to ensure the effective and efficient administration of Regional development charges. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to present the Service Level Agreement for the administration of Regional development charges (RDC) for endorsement by local area municipalities. The Service Level Agreement was collaboratively developed earlier this year during the RDC 'Lean' process review undertaken by Regional staff and local municipal Chief Building Officials. The report outlines the process leading to the preparation of this document, which is supported by the local Chief Building Officials (CBOs) and discusses the next steps in the process. BUSINESS IMPLICATIONS The strengthening of the RDC process including the enhancement of the data collected will minimize the risk of errors in the revenue collection process and increase the quality of the data available for future budget and planning decisions. 1 PW 83-2013 October 1, 2013 REPORT The Development Charges Act and Regional By-Law 62-2012 govern RDC administration in Niagara. In April 2013, an RDC Lean review was undertaken, involving local CBOs and staff from Regional Economic Development, Corporate Services and Development Services. Aiming to improve the process, the group addressed ways to reduce tasks, eliminate steps and minimize hand-offs. With agreement-in-principle by both Regional and local area municipal participants, an action plan was developed comprised of two main components: • A Service Level Agreement for RDC administration; and • Improved RDC data collaboration and calculation. Comments raised during the Lean review are addressed in Appendix 2. The RDC Service Level Agreement for joint Regional and local area municipal administration reflects best management practices and clarifies respective roles and responsibilities developed by the RDC Lean process group. The desired measures of success for RDC administration are: • 100% RDC accuracy at building permit issuance; • Timely receipt of payments to the Region; and • 100°; accuracy in RDC information/documentation submitted for all ibuilr„ling permits issued. A sound working partnership and commitment to process improvements between the Region and local area municipalities are paramount to the success of RDC administration in Niagara. Next Steps This report and Service Level Agreement will be circulated to local area municipalities for endorsement. Regional staff will continue to work on improving the RDC data collaboration and calculation process and meet with the local area municipal staff to determine their specific requirements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The existing "No Stopping Tour Bus Loading Zone " restriction was implemented at the request of the Downtown BIA to support bus tours to Rossi Glass establishment. As this business is no longer open, the bus loading is no longer required. The Downtown BIA has requested reinstatement of the paid parking spaces. BACKGROUND Rossi Glass, a glass blowing and merchandise business located on Queen Street near Valley Way, requested that a tour bus loading zone be established to support their clientele arriving by bus for glass blowing demonstrations and shopping. The BIA supported this request and the meters were removed. Recently, Rossi Glass has vacated the area and the tour bus loading zone is no longer required. The Downtown BIA has requested that the city reinstate the paid parking area to maximize available parking for the other local businesses. Staff supports the removal of the tour bus loading zone and change to paid parking. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Reinstating paid parking will provide greater parking opportunities for the local businesses surrounding this area. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Increased revenue from paid parking, previous lost with the implementation of tour bus loading zone. March 25, 2014 -2- TS-2014-13 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities — continue the parking operations user-pay philosophy through the development and implementation of a 10-Year Parking Capital Infrastructure Program and Rate Stabilization Plan.

CZ TS-2014-05 Niagarajails March 25, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2014-05 Bus Terminal Lease Agreements RECOMMENDATION 1) That the current lease with Coach Canada for the sale of out of town bus tickets within the Bus Terminal be extended for an additional two years, with an option for the third year. 2) That a sub lease between Coach Canada and Greyhound be approved. 3) That a lease between Metrolinx and the City be approved allowing GO Transit buses to utilize bus terminal platform one. 4) That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The sale of bus tickets within the city owned Bus Terminal is performed by Coach Canada staff on behalf of Coach Canada, Greyhound Canada, GO Transit/Metrolinx, and Niagara Falls Transit. Coach Canada has been providing these services within the Bus Terminal since January 1, 2012 and has expressed an interest in continuing with this arrangement for another term. Of late, dialogue with GO Transit/Metrolinx staff has been productive and effective December 1, 2013 they will be routing their daily buses through the Bus Terminal utilizing Platform one and thus, will not be servicing their patrons from the sidewalk next to the Train Station. A Sub Lease Agreement between Coach Canada and Greyhound Canada has been requested by staff to ensure the best interests of the City are maintained amongst these two competitive inter municipal bus providers. In the event of an issue between these two carriers, this Agreement would outline the appropriate procedures which have to be maintained and the protocols to be followed for any dispute resolution. BACKGROUND The sale of bus tickets within the Bus Terminal is performed by Coach Canada staff on behalf of the out of town carriers, as well as Niagara Falls Transit services. It is certainly a gateway to our community and as such, needs to provide professional, knowledgeable, and courteous service to the thousands of residents and visitors, which utilize this Terminal March 25, 2014 - 2 - TS-2014-05 annually. The Downtown Community Improvement Plan and our Transit Revitalization Plan recognize this centre as an important transportation hub, which has become increasingly integral with the introduction of the VTS and GO Transit/Metrolinx services. Staff have been working with Coach Canada, Greyhound Canada, and GO Transit/Metrolinx staff to bring all the out of town service providers into the Bus Terminal for the benefit of our residents and visitors. Staff is working toward securing Agreements for each provider for two years with an option for a third year. This term will provide staff with an opportunity to review the overall Niagara Falls Transit site, in conjunction with the Train Station and Bus Terminal properties for possible enhancements to parking, safety, and customer amenities. Securing a Sub Lease Agreement with Coach Canada the primary lease holder, and Greyhound Canada will ensure professional services are maintained at all times by the agents on behalf of both private carriers. This single agent format, representing the interests of multiple transportation providers is not unique and is commonplace within other municipalities. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Lease Agreement with Coach Canada provides a financial remuneration of approximately$25,000.00 per year. There are no revenues associated with the Sub Lease Agreement with Greyhound Canada. There are no revenues associated with the Lease with GO Transit/Metrolinx, however there is a commitment to provide capital for accessibility improvements to the Bus Terminal based on a 50% subsidy with an upset limit of $50,000. There are no Staffing Implications associated with these Agreements. The Legal Implications are captured within the Agreements should a party be in breach of the language.

As you know, the Royal Canadian Legion is a non-profit organization committed to assisting war veterans, educating youth and contributing to the many communities in Canada. In particular, Branch 51 which has been a Legion since 1926 herein Niagara Falls has contributed several hundred thousands of dollars (if not more) and just as many volunteer hours over the past nine decades to many different and diverse causes in the city including veterans, seniors, schools, hospitals, youth organizations,youth sports and many more noble endeavours. As well, this Pilgrimage, a joint Canadian & American war veterans memorial service, has been held annually every May since 1937. This service is conducted by Canadian and American war veterans each and every year at the Cenotaph on Clifton Hill here in Niagara Falls. We utilize the immediate Parks area at the Cenotaph as well as the small portion of the city street where our stationary parade forms up and the service is conducted. We respectfully request the City of Niagara Falls waive any and all charges &fees, in lieu of the past, current and future community-oriented contributions to the many charitable and non-profit concerns in our fine city that Branch 51 is involved in. As our membership declines due to normal attrition, our Legion is unable to support any costs associated with this event. I am at your service if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

Theses boxcars, that had a capacity of either 40 men or 8 horses, became the trademark of the organization. Originally a branch within the American Legion, the 40&8 Society has become its own entity promoting veterans causes and raising funds for such noble endeavors as national disaster relief, nurses training scholarships and child health welfare. This pilgrimage is the only one of its kind where American veterans pay their respects to Canadian war dead. The humble beginnings of the pilgrimage attest to the comradeship of all service veterans. In 1937 two Great War veterans from the U.S. were fishing in the Niagara River and the catching being slow, they talked about a recent visit to Branch 51 of the Royal Canadian Legion. As they reminisced, an idea about placing a wreath and having a short prayer was formed. This idea also included a visit to Branch 51 prior to and after the wreath was laid. Shortly after this, these two veterans who also happened to be 40 & 8'ers visited Branch 51, and along with two Canadian comrades from the branch went to the Cenotaph, placed a wreath, saluted, said a prayer and returned to the branch. At the Grande Promenade (state convention) of the 40 & 8, they told of their little memorial service and the Grande Chef de Gare du New York (State Commander), who happened to live in Buffalo, N.Y., liked their action so much that he proposed that this be an annual event. Thus began the pilgrimage. Each year a different U.S. state provides the honour guard. This year's service, the 77th Annual Pilgrimage, is being held on Saturday May 17, 2014 commencing at 12:00 noon. The honour guard for the 77th Pilgrimage will be from the state of Massachusetts and there will be hundreds Canadian and American veterans from all over North America in attendance.

As the attached indicates, the residents at 6100 Montrose are planning a wedding and reception in their backyard. At the request of the Clerk, the applicants sent letters to their immediate neighbours outlining their intentions. The event will end at midnight. One neighbour contacted me for clarification but was satisfied with the response and indicated they had no objections. No other neighbours contacted me. Therefore, staff is recommending relief to the by-law for the event. RECOMMENDATION: For the approval of Council.

I appreciate that you want to finalize your arrangements well in advance, while here at the City, August seems a long time from now! Firstly, I appreciate you making the request. Most citizens probably do not realize that the Noise By-law exists or that an exemption should be sought for events such as backyard weddings, parties etc. I have had a discussion with my Manager of By-law services and we feel that some pre-notification should be given to the neighbouring properties, prior to us bringing the request to Council. Attached please find a map and I suggest that the four properties marked be notified. We can handle the notification by either you sending them a note with your plans and if they have any concerns they can contact me directly or I can send the letter to the homeowners and indicate that an application has been made and we will be bringing forward at our next Council meeting. Rest assured, staff is supportive, we just want to ensure all due diligence has been done. Let me know which approach works for you (letter from me or letter from you).
