Fort Erie • Grimsby • Lincoln • Niagara Falls • Niagara-on-the-Lake • Pelham Port Colborne • St. Catharines • Thorold • Wainfleet • Welland • West Lincoln • ---- OACP 2 Background: The Niagara Regional Police Service's By-Law Enforcement and Licensing Unit licences, regulates and governs certain businesses and persons carrying on or engaged in business wholly or partly carried on within the Niagara Region. The fees established by the Police Service Board should be related to the costs of administration and enforcement. The PSB Licencing Committee requested "a review of all licencing fees for potential increases be performed and reported back". The first part of that review was completed in May, 2013 and concerned the Adult Entertainment industry. This review concluded with report 109/2013 which was also provided to the Adult Entertainment industry in May of 2013. Shortly after this report was provided to the Adult Entertainment industry, the Police Services Board received a letter from Zijad Saskin of Broderick and Partners LLP on June 3rd, 2013. In that letter Mr. Saskin explained that he represented Mr. Chris Rudan and Mr. Simo Rudan who own and operate several adult entertainment clubs in the Niagara Region. Mr. Saskin requested the financial information used to generate the report recommending the fee increases for the adult entertainment industry. The letter also wished clarification as to whether or not fee increases were to occur "across the board of all areas currently licenced including but not limited to taxi and tow truck businesses." The proposal was always to share the cost recovery between the adult entertainment industry and the vehicle for hire industry. This report is an addendum to the previous report in response to the directive from the Police Services Board Licencing Committee requesting a review of all licencing fees. This report is a comprehensive analysis of all licence categories and the proposed fee increases required for cost recovery for the By-Law Enforcement & Licencing Unit. Report: Financial Results The Finance Unit recently completed a comprehensive audit of the By-Law Enforcement and Licencing Unit and discovered that the Service's fees no longer cover the administration and enforcement costs. The Niagara Regional Police Service has been subsidizing the cost of the Unit with their operating budget. A further analysis of the normalized revenue and expenditures illustrates that the results are a combination of increasing salary and benefit costs, legal fees and variable revenues from application and transfer fees. 2009 2010 2011 2012 Normalized Net Expenditures $(1,038) $(10,476) $(122,009) $(165,674) 3 The Finance Unit further estimated that the deficit in 2013 will reach approximately $175,000 due to the recent salary arbitration award. Staff from the By-Law Enforcement & Licencing Unit considered the responsibilities and time allocated to the two areas of licencees and decided it was reasonable to allocate fifty percent (50%) towards each industry meaning fifty percent (50%) of the Unit's time is spent on each industry therefore the cost recovery should be shared equally by each industry. The Finance Unit has since completed a more comprehensive financial snapshot of the Unit and has discovered some other operating costs not previously considered. Annual expenses for training, vehicles and facility allocations were added which brings the 2013 expected deficit to reach approximately $224,655. Fee increases for both the adult entertainment industry and the vehicle for hire industry are being recommended in order to recover the operating costs of the Unit. Several factors were considered when deciding upon the fee increases. One important note is to mention that fees for the adult entertainment industry have never been increased and fees for the vehicle for hire industry have not been increased in well over fifteen (15) years. First, the issue of cost recovery was paramount. The By-Law Enforcement & Licencing Unit is entitled to recover all operating costs for the administration and enforcement of the various by-laws under its purview. This is upheld by both case law and convention. Second, average industry fees across the province were considered in order to bring us more in line with the rest of the province when recovering our fees. Consideration of the current fee schedules elsewhere in the province is a good gauge for where we should be and lends a certain commonality across the board. Third, impact on the various industries was also a consideration. The overall potential impact on each industry was considered using both the provincial fee averages and the fact that none of the industries under consideration have had to deal with fee increases in many years if at all. I have broken down the two areas of licencees and made recommendations based on the most recent numbers available. Adult Entertainment Industry: Proposed Fees Increase A comparison of the Service's By-Law and Licencing fees with other services displays that Niagara is well below the provincial averages for all three types of fees. A reasonable increase in fees is appropriate in order to offset the increasing costs of administration and enforcement and the growing annual deficit. 4 At this time the Service is recommending an increase in annual Adult Entertainment Fees, These fees have not been increased since the inception of licencing for this industry in 1997 and the Service's fees are well below the provincial comparators. Increases are required to cover the current deficit. The recommended fee increases are tabled below. Appendix A shows the most current published fee schedules for municipalities across the province of Ontario. The following table shows the proposed fee increases for this industry. Current ; Proposed Adult Entertainer Annual Licence $125 $250 IOperator/Manager Annual Licence $125 $1200 Owner/Business Annual Licence $2500 $3750 The most current numbers indicate that 370 adult entertainers were licenced between Jan 1 — June 30, 2013. This will bring the estimated total for the year to 740 entertainers. The current number of licenced operators is eighteen (18) but is expected to drop sharply and the current number of licenced establishments is seven (7) in total with five (5) in operation. The breakdown is as follows: The recommended fee increases will result in an approximate revenue increase of $92,500 (740 entertainers), $5375-$19,350 (5-18 operators) and $8750 (7 parlours) for a total of approximately $106,625 — $120,600. This will assist in the recovery of the increasing costs of administration and enforcement and is in line with approximately fifty (50%) of the current deficit. This is the best estimate based on the most current data available. Vehicle For Hire & Other Business Licences: The current proposal concentrates on fees relating to the vehicle for hire industry and other business licences not related to the adult entertainment industry. Approximately 50% of the cost recovery should come from these categories of licences. The table provided in Appendix B shows the breakdown of each category including fee increase proposals and provincial averages. Appendix C shows the estimated revenue increase breakdown. The most current numbers of initial and renewal licences for 2013 were used to generate the total cost recovery estimate. The proposed fee increases will recover approximately $114,750.00 in revenue. This will assist in the recovery of the increasing costs of administration and enforcement and is in line with approximately fifty (50%) of the current deficit. This is the best estimate based on the most current data available. 5 The Service has provided this financial information to assist the Police Service Board's Administration and Licensing Committee in their decisions regarding the fee adjustments. Additional Information: This report was presented to the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board Administration and Licencing Committee on September 121h, 2013. As a result of that meeting some additional information was requested by the Committee. The following information is presented at the direction of the Committee. 1. The question was raised regarding the current breakdown of revenue received by the By-Law Enforcement & Licencing Unit with respect to the adult entertainment industry and the vehicle for hire industry (including salvage and second hand businesses). The current estimated breakdown from 2010-2012 shows revenue from the adult entertainment industry accounts for approximately 25% of the total with the vehicle for hire industry and other businesses account for the remaining 75%. I must emphasize annual fluctuations on the revenue side due to variations in the number of annual licencees as well as the expense side based on things such as the cost of enforcement. The numbers presented above are best estimates based on historical revenue and current numbers but this is not an exact science (see Appendix D). The legal opinion obtained from Sullivan Mahoney indicates that "Licencing Unit fees and expenses can be considered as a whole for the purposes of determining cost recovery, and need not be considered on an exact industry by industry basis." 2. The question was raised regarding creating a "Contingency Fund". This fund would be used to deposit any extra revenues accrued over the year and would carry over year to year. The fund would be accessed if revenues decreased or if special enforcement projects were required. This fund would assist in the year to year fluctuation of revenues versus expenses. The Finance Unit agreed that this was an excellent idea and would be instituted into the 2014 Licencing Unit budget starting January 1st, 2014. 3. The question was raised regarding a system to allow for charging back the use of Service resources to the Licencing Unit (ie. using uniform members for enforcement initiatives during their regular tour of duty). The Finance Unit was consulted and advised that currently there is no system in place that allows for such a charge back but they will have something in place by January 1st, 2014. 4. The question was raised about having an annual fee increase related to the cost of inflation to account for rising annual expenses. The Finance Unit was consulted and indicated they would take on this responsibility. The Director of Finance stated that they would be required to do research on this, see what other municipalities are doing across the province, and get a legal opinion. This issue will now be turned over to the Finance Unit. 6 Cost of Recommendations: By-Law Enforcement & Licencing Unit operating costs recovered through licencing fee increases.

Box 307 St. Catharines, Ontario- 1.28 6V2 Tele: 905-641-1621 Fax 905-685-1461 J.A. CROSSINGHAM, B.A., LL.B. R.N. BRADY, B.A.Sc., LL.B. March 24, 2014 Niagara Falls City Hall Niagara Falls, Ontario Attention: The Clerk Dear Dean, Re: Adult Entertainment Licensing Charges We understand that the Police Service Board has requested that the city consider raising the fees for Adult Entertainment Licences, in particular for entertainers. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment for the time set by the Council and am, therefore, writing to you. I want to discuss 4 points: 1. Why the City should care about this issue. 2. What's wrong with the request. 3. How the situation can be improved for everyone's benefit. 4. Why our proposal will work. 1 Why you should care about this issue. I was dismayed to read the Clerk's report which seems to shrug off the issue because it does the City doesn't get the money. This ignores 3 key issues. 1. The industry forms a key part of the Vegas-style draw created by the Casinos. 2. While you may not get the money, we, especially our entertainers, PAY the fees. 3. You are the only democratically elected body that we can talk to about this. Let's be clear about one thing at the beginning. The clubs have no problem with the licensing of owners and managers. However, 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. We are grateful that the City has maintained control over its bylaw. We have strong CROSSINCHAM, BRADY Pag< reservations about the enforcement arm being the entity that creates regulatory policy. (Think, fox; hen house) We have been frustrated because our pleas and arguments are ignored by the Police Services Board who simply rely on staff and don't listen carefully to the public and interest groups to assist in the formulation of policy. Read on. What we say makes sense. 2. What's wrong with the request. The proposal that has been circulated is a prime example of the need for you 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. 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 Cambridge 0 Haldimand 118 Hamilton 445 Oshawa 250 Ottawa 0 London 0 Windsor 0 Brampton 0 Mississauga 0 Toronto 254 Vaughan 220 CROSSINGHAM, BRADY Niagara 125 Average 130.50 Eliminate the highest and lowest; Average is $115.17 3. How the situation can be improved for everyone's benefit. Rather than looking to other jurisdictions to see what the fees are, a much more useful approach would be 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. ( fox; hen house) The deficit they allege would be better addressed by using a collaborative approach to Community Policing and not confrontational raids that are prohibition era throwbacks (and a huge waste of, what they now want to be, our money). We are aghast at 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. 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 seek to establish the essential trust and cooperation required for any effective policing and regulatory administration. 4. Why our proposal will work. We begin with the basic premise. that 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 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. 1 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 us to the presentation by Zijad Saskin.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2014-14 2014 Capital Projects Budget RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2014 Capital Projects Budget EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The annual Capital Budget provides staff with Council's direction for annual expenditures required to improve, enhance and replace the municipality's infrastructure. The Capital Budget shows all of the projects with planned expenditures for 2014. Available funding sources for capital projects include government grants, transfers from operating or utility budgets, reserves and development charges. The total expenditures are $27,960,511 and are fully funded from available sources. In addition to the standard source of funding, the City is utilizing funding available from completed projects and cancelled projects. This funding will be used for additional projects in 2014. BACKGROUND The Capital Budget is prepared annually to provide Council of the planned expenditures for the year. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE At the end of December 2012, the City had $596 million (net book value) in capital assets. These asset classes cover infrastructure assets like roads, water, sewer, bridges and sidewalks. Similarly, additional assets include buildings, rolling stock including fleet and busses as well as equipment. Accounting regulations require that the municipal Financial Statements identify the full asset values. The Capital Budget has been prepared based on available funding sources and without the use of new debt. For 2014, staff have reviewed all previously approved projects to determine the status of each project. This initiative has resulted in identifying available funding for capital investments. These projects are identified in the attachment. March 25, 2014 -2 - F-2014-14 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff are proposing expenditures of$27,960,511 for 2014. These expenditures are funded from annual transfers from the General Purpose budget, the Municipal Utility budget, Federal and Provincial gas tax, external contributions, dedicated special purpose capital reserves and development charges. This year's budget does not include the use of additional debt. This level of contribution is required to perform the projects listed in the budget booklet. The Capital budget was prepared based on available funding for projects. The initial requests from all departments exceeded available funding and as a result further prioritization was required. As Council is aware, the first year of the OLG Compensation Agreement will end March 31 , 2014. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is required to provide an update reconciliation with its last quarterly payment. Once this information is received, staff will report to Council on future uses. These uses may include some additional capital projects that are not approved at this time.

During 2013 the VCBIA, as well as the City, have contributed funds to hire O'Connor Consultants. They are working with the VCBIA to finalize a design package for the area. They will complete their concept drawings and cost estimates by the end of August 2014. We are very interested and motivated in moving this project forward as quickly as possible to ensure viability and success of our stakeholders within our VCBIA. In order to facilitate this project we would like to request the City include monies in the 2014 Capital budget of$150,000 for Phase 1 detail design funding for Victoria Centre. Please consider this a formal request and advise if you require further information.

I find the speed hump very annoying as we try to enjoy the back yard. Even sitting inside we can hear constant distressing sounds coming from the many types of vehicles that travel down this road.

Dear Council members: We are writing to you to confirm everything the neighbours on Portage Road have said regarding the thumping and crashing noises arising from the speed hump in front of 3262 Portage Road. It is distressing enough for us when we only visit for a short while as we are constantly looking out the window to see what the noise is. It has to be explained that it is coming from the speed hump. We would be unable to tollerate this in our daily life.

My residence is located in this area just south of the northerly speed hump and I have no problem with hearing the occasional thump created by a vehicle hauling a trailer, possibly from excessive speed. There are seven residences located between the southerly and northerly speed humps and I have not heard my adjoining neighbours complain, in fact we are all very glad that the speed humps have been effective in reducing the speed that cars had been travelling prior to the speed humps being installed. The survey that determined the best possible method of reducing the speed of vehicles was carried out by your staff of competent people who were knowledgeable in such matters To go against their recommendations and spend $30,000 to solve a problem that has already been solved would be a waste of the tax payers money. In my opinion this money could be put to use to improve conditions in other parts of the city.

Needless to say, this is devastating news for the Lundy's Lane BIA and its' membership. As the long-time forgotten district in the redevelopment of the tourism infrastructure in Niagara, the Gateway Project was seen as the main catalyst and corner stone of a much needed Landscape Master Plan for Lundy's Lane. Understanding the importance of the Battlefield Gateway, not only to Lundy's Lane but to the community as a whole,the LLBIA enthusiastically entered into an agreement with the City of Niagara Falls several years ago as the lone private sector contributor to the project. The Gateway needs to be looked at not only as a very worthwhile Legacy Project to honour those that gave their lives to preserve our country, but as the centre of a much needed Cultural and Heritage Plan for Niagara. Along with the Niagara History Museum, the Gateway is one of the main components of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Park Master Plan. Collectively, we now have the opportunity to redevelop the Drummondville Area as the centre point of Heritage Tourism for the Niagara Region as a whole. With Experiential Tourism demand growing at a rate of 15 percent a year, the Municipality must also view this project as an investment that will stimulate the development of this burgeoning market. As a major contributor to the Gateway Project, the LLBIA urges Council to look at the long term potential and ROI of this project. The Lundy's Lane BIA has been actively involved with the IBI Group,the Heritage Committee and City Staff in crafting an outstanding opportunity that will benefit the community for many years to come. Promotion of the Gateway is well under way with advertising and editorial already placed in a number of the major tourism publications, many of which have already gone to print. The completion of this project prior to the 200`h Anniversary of the Battle of Lundy's Lane on July 25, 2014 is very important to the LLBIA, the Main & Ferry BIA, historians and event organizers. The LLBIA is more than happy to address Council, or the Mayor and advisory staff, on the need to keep this project on track. Please feel free to contact me at any time to set up a meeting to discuss the importance of the Lundy's Lane Battlefield Gateway Arch and the Battlefield Park Master Plan.
