NEW BUSINESS F-2014-26 Niagarafalls May 27, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2014-26 2014 Development Charges Study RECOMMENDATION For information of Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to introduce the Development Charges Study material, and to provide an outline of additional actions required to ensure that the DC by-law is in place prior to the expiration of the current bylaw. The Municipality is required to develop a Development Charges By-law. The current By- law expires on July 19, 2014. As a result, the City must approve a by-law prior to this date in order to continue to collect Development Charges. The Study has been available on the City's website since May 12, 2014. Today's meeting is the required public meeting, as legislated by the Development Charges Act. A subsequent public workshop will be held on June 12, 2014 for additional public input on the document. Final approval of the by-law is scheduled to take place at the July 8, 2014 Council Meeting. Council will have the opportunity to provide direction to Staff on policies within the by-law. BACKGROUND All municipalities that collect Development charges are required to approve a Development Charges By-law. Hemson Consulting was engaged to prepare the Background Study for the 2014 Development Charges By-law. The existing By-law will expire on July 19, 2014. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The analysis for the By-law is in-depth and can be found within the Study. The attached Executive Summary from Hemson provides an overview for Council. As indicated, tonight's meeting and presentation will provide further insight into the background study process, provide details of the City's expected growth and growth - related capital projects, as well as outlining the calculations used to determine initial rates for the upcoming by-law period. In addition, there are a few issues that staff wishes to engage Council, before finalization of the by-law. These include the treatment of Development Charges policy items: May 27, 2014 - 2 - F-2014-26 i) exemptions from Development Charges both statutory and non statutory ii) rate impacts for changes in use of property Hi) rate impacts of commercial expansions iv) rate impacts of residential infill v) determine whether to continue with exemptions for Community Improvement Plan areas. Tonight's meeting, along with the input from the Development Charges Workshop, will provide for the direction to staff, along with the technical analysis performed in the Study. These inputs will be used to provide a final report and by-law for the July 8, 2014 Council meeting. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Development Charges Study process requires that staff from all of the City's departments work with the consultant to identify expected growth-related capital projects, as well as to estimate development activity anticipated in the by-law time period. The intention of Development Charges By-law is to ensure that the established Development Charges are collected to adequately fund all growth-related infrastructure. The adoption of the policies that provide exemptions will result in a reduction of revenues collected which may impact the ability of funding projects. The Proposed Rates are identified below: Development Type Calculated Current $ Change % Change Charge Charge Other Residential $11,300 $10,509 $791 8% Outside CTA $37.96 $50.11 ($12.15) (24%) LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1. Development Charges Background Study Executive Summary — Hemson Consulting May 27, 2014 -3 - F-2014-26 Recommended by: � �� Todd Todd,:rlison, Dir c or of Finance Respectfully submitted: Mil f — i% Ken Todd, Chi ` Administrative Officer J EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hemson Consulting Ltd. was retained by the City of Niagara Falls to complete a Development Charges (DC) Background Study. This Background Study provides the basis and background required to update the City's development charges to accurately reflect the future servicing needs of new development. STUDY CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT CHARGES LEGISLATION • This study calculates development charges for the City of Niagara Falls in compliance with the provisions of the Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA) and its associated regulation O. Reg. 82/98. • The City's current Development Charges By-Law 2009-120, expires on July 19, 2014. Council must pass a new bylaw in order to continue to levy development charges. • The Ciry must continue implementing development charges to help fund capital projects related to development throughout Niagara Falls so that development continues to be serviced in a fiscally responsible manner. The calculated changes to the development charges rates are required in order to reflect the revised costs associated with new infrastructure requirements. • The DCA and O. Reg. 82/98 require that a development charges background study be prepared in which development charges are determined with reference to: • A forecast of the amount, type and location of residential and non- residential development anticipated in the City; • The average capital service levels provided in the City over the ten year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study; HEMSON 2 • A review of future capital projects, including an analysis of gross expenditures, funding sources, and net expenditures incurred or to be incurred by the City to provide for the expected development, including the determination of the DC eligible and non-DC-eligible components of the capital projects; and • An examination of the long-term capital and operating costs for the capital infrastructure required for each service to which the development charges by-law would relate. • This report identifies the capital costs attributable to the development that is forecast to occur in the City. The costs are apportioned to types of development (residential, non-residential) in a manner that reflects the increase in the need for each service. ALL SERVICES WITH DEVELOPMENT-RELATED COSTS INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS • The following services have been included in the development charge analysis: • General Government • Library • Fire Protection • Parks and Recreation • Public Works and Fleet • Transit Services • Roads and Related • Sidewalks • Water • Sanitary Sewerage, and • Storni Water Management HEMSON 3 • The development charges discussed in this report are calculated on a City- wide uniform basis. A non-residential area-specific charge is calculated for development occurring within the Core Tourist Area and Outside of the Core Tourist Area. DEVELOPMENT FORECAST • In collaboration with City staff, a development forecast has been created for the purposes of this DC Background Study. The growth projections are primarily based upon the Region of Niagara Sustainable Community Policies: Amendment 2-2009 to the Official Plan for the Niagara Planning Area, as amended November 2012. • The City is forecast to add approximately 3,250 new households in the 10- year planning period from 2014-2023. This translates into a population of roughly 9,243 in the newly constructed units. In the same ten-year time frame, it is anticipated that the City will see an increase of 3,090 new employees that will be accommodated in 194,750 square metres of new non- residential building space. • The following is a summary of the projected growth for the City: Development Forecast DC Study Planning Horizon Residential Forecast 2013 2014-2023 Estimate Growth Total at 2023 Residential Total Occupied Dwellings 33,973 3,250 37,223 Total Population Census 84,127 6,355 90,482 Population In New Dwellings 9,243 Non-Residential Employment 41,658 3,090 44,748 Core Tourist Area 1,853 Outside Core Tourist Area 1,238 Non-Residential Building Space(sq.m.) 194,750 Core Tourist Area 101,888 Outside Core Tourist Area 92,863 • HEMSON 4 THE CITY HAS AN EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED CAPITAL PROGRAM FOR THE PROVISION OF ELIGIBLE SERVICES General Services • City staff, in collaboration with Hemson Consulting, has developed a development-related capital program identifying projects that are required to service anticipated development. The development-related capital programs for general services are based on a ten-year planning period from 2014 to 2023. • The gross cost of the City's development-related capital program for general services amounts to $22.97 million and provides for a wide range of infrastructure additions. Of the $22.97 million, approximately $10.14 million has been identified as eligible for recovery through development charges over the 2014-2023 planning period. • The DCA requires that development-related net capital costs for general services be reduced by 10 per cent when calculating the applicable development charges for these services. The 10 per cent share of development-related net capital costs not included in the development charges calculations must be funded from non-development charges sources. In total, $1.10 million is identified as the required 10 per cent reduction. • Non-development charges funding for replacement portions of the capital program and for portions of development-related capital projects that benefit existing development have been identified. Replacement or benefit to existing shares amount to $151 million. • A share of the capital program is deducted for portions of projects that relate to development in the post-2023 period, which will be considered for recovery in future development charges studies subject to service level considerations. In total, S5.I9 million falls within this definition. • Available DC reserve funds have been identified in each capital program to fund development-related infrastructure and amount to $5.02 million. • The following is a summary of the development-related capital program for general services: HEMSON 5 Summary of Capital Forecast for General Services DC Eligible Cost Service Gross Cost For Recovery ($000) ($000) Library $932.0 $341.5 Fire Protection $4,845.0 51,387.6 Parks and Recreation $8,859.8 $7,002.9 Public Works and Fleet $446.0 $166.6 ` Transit $7,114.5 $1,111.8 General Government $770.0 $133.5 Total $22,967.3 $10,143.9 • Details regarding the capital programs for each individual service are provided in Appendix B of this report. Engineered Services • The development-related capital program for roads, sidewalks, water, sanitary sewer, and storm water management is also based on a ten-year planning period, 2014.2023. • The City-wide capital program for engineered services amounts to $62.22 million, of which $28.29 million is recoverable through development charges. Full details regarding the engineered services can be found in Appendix C. DEVELOPMENT CHARGES ARE CALCULATED WITH REFERENCE TO THE DCA • Development charge rates have been established under the parameters and limitations of the DCA. This study provides the rationale and basis for the calculated rates. • The calculated charges are the maximum charges the City may adopt. Lower charges can he approved; however, this will require a reduction in the capital plan and reduced service levels or financing from other sources, most likely property taxes. HEMSON 6 • The fully calculated residential charges are recommended to vary by unit type, reflecting the difference in occupancy patterns expected in various unit types and the associated differences in demand that would be placed on City services. • The following is a summary of the fully calculated development charges: Calculated Residential Development Charges Residential Charge By Unit Type (1) Adjusted Service Charge Per Singles& Rows&Other Capita Semis Multiples Apartments General Go..ernment $11.41 $37 520 518 Library $37.14 $122 $65 $60 Fire Protection $124.28 $407 $216 $200 Parks And Recreation $764.37 52,506 S1,331 $1,230 Public Works & Fleet $14.08 $46 S25 $23 Transit Services $105.86 $347 $184 $170 Roads And Related $771.85 $2,531 $1,344 $1,242 Subtotal Municipal Wide Services $1,828.99 $5,996 $3,185 $2,943 Sidewalks $74.66 $245 $130 $120 Water $107.73 $353 $188 $173 Sanitary Sewer $913.84 $2,996 $1,591 $1.470 Storm Water Management S521.50 $1,710 $908 $839 Subtotal Urban Area Services $1,617.73 $5,304 $2,817 $2,602 TOTAL CHARGE PER UNIT $3,446.72 $11,300 $6,002 $5,545 (1)Based on Persons Per Unit Of: 3.28 1.74 1.61 HEMSON 7 Calculated Non-Residential Development Charges Outside Core Tourist Area Non-Residential Charge Per Square Metre Service Outside Core Tourist Area Unadjusted Adjusted Charge Charge General Go.emment $0.17 $0.19 Library $0.00 $0.00 Fire Protection $1.79 $1.98 Parks And Recreation $0.00 $0.00 Public Works 8 Fleet $0.21 $0.23 Transit Seruces $1.43 $1.69 Roads And Related $13.36 $12.27 Subtotal Municipal Wide Services $16.96 $16.36 Sidewalks $0.98 $1.00 Water $1.62 $1.44 Sanitary Sewer $12.27 $12.20 Storm Water Management $7.04 $6.96 Subtotal Urban Area Services $21.91 $21.60 TOTAL CHARGE PER SQUARE METRE $38.87 $37.96 HEMSON 8 Calculated Non-Residential Development Charges Inside Core Tourist Area Non-Residential Charge Per Square Metre Service Core Tourist Area Unadjusted Adjusted Charge Charge General Govemment $0.17 $0.19 Library $0.00 $0.00 Fire Protection $1.79 $1.98 Parks And Recreation $0.00 $0.00 Public Works & Fleet $0.21 $0.23 Transit Seances $1.43 $1.69 Roads And Related $13.36 $12.27 Subtotal Municipal Wide Services $16.96 $16.36 Sidewalks $1.40 $1.36 Water $2.83 $3.00 Sanitary Sewer $0.69 $0.67 Storm Water Management $1.77 $1.91 Subtotal Urban Area Services $6.69 $6.94 TOTAL CHARGE PER SQUARE METRE $23.65 $23.30 HEMSON 9 NEWLY CALCULATED RATES COMPARED WITH CURRENT RATES • The fully calculated residential charge for a single or semi-detached unit in Niagara Falls is $11,300, which represents an eight per cent increase from the City's current charge of$10,509. • The calculated non-residential charge outside the Core Tourist Area in Niagara Falls of$37.96 per square metre of gross floor area represents a 24 per cent decrease from the City's current non-residential charge of $50.11 per square metre. • The calculated charge per square metre of new non-residential development inside the Core Tourist Area of Niagara Falls is $23.30, which represents a 13 per cent increase for the City's current charge of$20.59 per square metre. DEVELOPMENT CHARGES BY-LAW PRACTICES AND COLLECTION POLICIES • As required under the DCA, the City should codify any rules regarding application of the by-laws and any exemptions within the development charges by-law proposed for adoption. • The proposed draft by-law sets out the rules to determine development charges applicable in any particular case. Rules for exemptions are also outlined in the proposed draft by-law. • It is recommended that Council adopt the development-related capital program included in this background study, subject to annual review through the City's normal capital budget process. HEMSON L-2014-11 Niagaraflalls May 27, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2014-11 Derelict Properties in Tourist Commercial Zone Our File No. 2012-127 RECOMMENDATION That Staff meet with interested landowners to discuss with them the possibility of employing a Conditional Zoning to address the assessment anomalies which have led to urban blight in the vicinity of the tourist core and report back as to the outcome of that meeting. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council have asked Staff to devise a plan whereby the owners of dwellings that are zoned Tourist Commercial can demolish those dwellings without having to pay taxes calculated upon a Commercial assessment of the resulting vacant lot. This Report discusses a series of possible options and suggests that the least problematic of the options is the use of a Conditional Zoning by-law. The next step would be for Staff to meet with the affected owners and discuss the merits of proceeding with Conditional Zoning. ANALYSIS The Problem: A number of small lots in the vicinity of the tourist core are zoned Tourist Commercial. These lots have single detached dwellings erected upon them. Some of the single detached dwellings are occupied (although none appear to be owner occupied); others are vacant. All of them are in a poor state of repair. The owners of the dwellings do not wish to be in the residential tenancy business. They are awaiting the opportunity to sell their land for a profit. They have been waiting a long time to achieve this end. No sales of any part of the subject lands is known to be imminent. Because these properties are on the fringe of, and in some examples, on the route to, the tourist core of the City, the City would like to induce the owners of these single detached dwellings to maintain them to a higher standard so that their appearance does not detract from the appearance of, and impression of, the tourist core. As indicated above, the owners of the properties have indicated to the Mayor and Members May 27, 2014 -2 - L-2014-11 of Council that they do not wish to be in the residential tenancy business in the first place. They would be just as happy to remove these dwellings rather than spend any further funds upon them. The impediment to their doing so lies in the interrelation between the tax assessment process and the City's land use controls. The subject properties are all zoned Tourist Commercial; a zoning which permits a virtually unlimited number of commercial uses. However, they were being used as residential dwellings at the time By-law No. 79-200 was passed and continue to be used in this way. This means that they have legal nonconforming status and can continue to be legally used as residential dwellings. The Assessment Act requires that properties should be assessed according to the use that is being made of the property at the time the assessment is made. Thus, these properties are assessed as residential properties so long as a dwelling remains upon them. However, when the dwelling is removed, the properties are assessed as Vacant Tourist Commercial land. Note that MPAC appears to exercise its discretion in favor of the landowner such that, even when there is no occupier of the dwelling, so long as the dwelling remains, they continue to assess the land as Residential land. The policy of the Assessment Act requiring assessment according to current use, appears to be aimed at enabling persons who reside in owner occupied dwellings that are located in Commercial zones to enjoy a Residential assessment of their home. However, the policy is somewhat problematic in the circumstance faced by the City of Niagara Falls where the properties are owned by persons who have purchased the property with a view to either developing the properties, or reselling them at a profit. The Example: An illustration of the problem was provided by an Assessment Appeal decided in 2012 concerning 4926 Walnut Street. That property had a dwelling upon it; the dwelling was removed (it may or may not have been used as a parking lot); the property, a 66 x 101 square foot lot was assessed at a value of $220,000.00. The owner appealed the assessment, arguing that the assessment should more properly be based upon a Vacant Residential land use, which would result in an assessed value of$65,000.00. The Appeal was dismissed, although the assessment was reduced to $194,000.00. The property was subsequently sold for $120,000.00. Possible Solutions: Property Standards The conventional way for a municipality to respond to a situation such as this, is to enforce its Property Standards By-law and cause the owners of the properties to bring the properties up to an acceptable standard of maintenance. A conventional municipality would move ahead with this program, irrespective of the effect upon the assessment of the property owners. It is Staff's understanding that Council does not want to proceed in this way. Appealing an Assessment Given the example of 4926 Walnut, the owners of the subject lands could appeal the reassessments of their lands that will result from the removal of the buildings. They could May 27, 2014 -3 - L-2014-11 use 4926 as a precedent to demonstrate that vacant commercial lands in the area are not so valuable as MPAC thought them to be. There is a risk that the appeal would not succeed. Community Improvement Area Staff of the Ontario Ministry of Finance indicated to the City that the solution to this problem would be to create a Community Improvement Area around the subject lands. Staff believe this proposal is misguided. A Community Improvement Area Plan implements a scheme whereby a municipality provides incentives to landowners to improve their properties. The goal is to raise the assessments in the area in which the Plan is in place. Here, the goal is to lower the assessments of the properties. The improvements the City wants, namely the removal of the dwellings, will result in higher assessments. The one time incentives provided within a Community Improvement Plan are not suited to this situation. It is submitted that a reasonable landowner will want more than a one time grant to remove a given dwelling and thus, receive an increased assessment. What that owner would want would be an annual grant in the amount of the difference in the taxes imposed on the lot by the removal of the dwelling, until such time as the owner sold the property or built something upon it. Presumably, a purchaser from the current owner would want the same grant to continue until such time as the property was no longer vacant. The Community Improvement Plan sections of the Planning Act cannot be stretched to accommodate a municipality imposing upon itself such unending and indeterminate liability. A one time grant could be proposed, but Staff do not think such a program would be sufficiently attractive to induce the landowners to remove the subject dwellings. Tourist Commercial Zoning Another possibility would be for the City to agree with the owners to initiate Re-zoning applications for the subject lands to alter the zoning of the lands to Deferred Tourist Commercial. The rezonings would be commenced once the owner of a particular parcel had removed the offending building. The down side to this approach is that the building will have to be rezoned again to restore the commercial uses. Such a rezoning application would appear to have a great chance of success given the underlying commercial Official Plan designation. MPAC seems to consider vacant Deferred Commercial land as vacant residential Conditional Zoning The most promising solution that Staff have been able to come up with involves the use of what is known as Conditional Zoning. In a Conditional Zoning By-law, the uses permitted under the by-law change when a particular change in circumstances occurs. For example, a property could be zoned Residential on condition that municipal services reach the road in front of the property. While the property is zoned Residential from the time the by-law was passed, the Residential use cannot occur until the condition, the establishment of the services, is achieved. Note that no further rezoning is required for the use to be implemented and that this form of by-law differs from a Holding By-law in that there is no need for the owner of the land to attend the Council to establish that the May 27, 2014 -4 - L-2014-11 condition has been met. The owner would demonstrate to Staff that the services are in place and the Residential land use could then be implemented. In the immediate case, a property from which the dwelling was removed could be zoned a conditional form of Vacant Residential. Provided the dwelling was removed, the uses of the lot would be restricted to one use; Vacant Residential. However, if a further condition was met; that condition being the submission of a complete Application for a Building Permit for a Tourist Commercial use, the uses available to the owner would then become the entire gambit of Tourist Commercial uses. The roots of this idea lie in the 1967 Official Plan which designated the subject lands and those around them Tourist Commercial. At the time, the expectation was that the Tourist Commercial core would expand at a far greater rate than has actually proven to be the case. It was not anticipated in 1967 that in 2014 the City would be confronted with so many residential dwellings situated on lands designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan. (The Tourist Commercial designation of these lands was continued into the 1993 Official Plan.) It would appear that during the preparation of By-law No. 79-200, at least some landowners were concerned about the problems they faced with having residential properties on lands designated Tourist Commercial by the Official Plan. The Tourist Commercial Official Plan designation does not permit Residential land uses. It follows that the zoning of the dwellings situated on the lands designated by the Official Plan to be Tourist Commercial, and Residential uses become legal nonconforming land uses. Some owners of single detached dwellings did not want the disadvantages of nonconforming status. The solution, at the time, was the creation of the Deferred Tourist Commercial zone. This zone is, in fact, a Residential zone. The only thing permitted in the zone is a Residential land use. Calling the zoning Deferred Commercial seems to be a mechanism to circumvent the effect of the underlying Official Plan designation. The proposed Conditional Zoning solution has similar characteristics to the solution adapted in 1979, however, it takes advantage of the recent amendments to the Planning Act concerning Conditional Zoning, to enable the landowner to proceed with Commercial use of its lands without having to seek a rezoning. The owner of Deferred Commercial lands will have to apply for a rezoning before Commercial uses could be undertaken. (Albeit, it would be difficult to argue against the rezoning, as the underlying Official Plan designation is Tourist Commercial.) While the total financial impact upon the City of this procedure is difficult, if not impossible, to gauge, loss of revenue will reflect the difference between the assessed value of these properties with an occupied residence upon them, and their assessment as a Vacant Residential land. The by-law will be structured such that, in order to take advantage of the Conditional Zoning, the landowner will have to demolish the dwelling and make its lot vacant within two years of the passage of the by-law. Landowners that elected not to participate will be subject to Property Standards enforcement. Staff would like the opportunity to present the proposed Conditional Zoning solution to the affected landowners, to gauge their enthusiasm for the proposal. May 27, 2014 -5 - L-2014-11 The Risks Within the program itself, the most significant risk is that MPAC will not recognize the zoning as governing the use being made of the land. However, the permitted use will be Vacant Residential and Staff are prepared to argue with considerable vigor, that the possibility of transforming the permitted uses from Vacant Residential to Tourist Commercial by submitting a completed Building Permit Application, should not be relevant to determining the applicable use of the land for assessment purposes. External to the program, there is considerable risk that this sort of initiative will attract others who feel they have similar complaints and to seek similar relief. It will undermine the ability of staff to enforce the taxation and property standards regimes. A lot of staff and council time will likely be consumed trying to explain the difference between this situation and the situation of the taxpayer who is seeking the explanation. However, the situation that is being addressed by this solution is unique. The solution cannot be regarded as a precedent for solving other assessment and/or tax relief schemes. Its purpose is to address the anomaly that was created when the Tourist Commercial land designations in the Niagara Falls Official Plan established in 1967 have proven, over time, to cover a much broader area than the actual expansion of Tourist Commercial uses has proven to be. The resulting blight is what Council wishes to address with this scheme. Council is looking for a solution to address the problem of urban blight. It has instructed Staff to come up with this program, in the public interest. The benefits to the affected property owners are ancillary to the public interest goal of improving the appearance of the tourist core itself, and the route to that tourist core. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed meeting and possible solution is in keeping with Council's commitment to the creation of a well planned City.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2014-23 Request for Extension to an Approved Revitalization Grant RGP-01/2006, 4480 Bridge Street Applicant: Joedy Burdett RECOMMENDATION That Council reaffirm the date of June 25, 2014 for Mr. Burdett to complete the redevelopment of his property and be eligible for a Revitalization Grant and that a further extension not be supported. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Mr. Burdett has been constructing a 4 storey commercial/residential building on his property for more than 6 years. • The signed Revitalization Grant Program Loan agreement is dated for completion by June 25, 2014. • Mr. Burdett has recently advised that he requires a further 3 years to complete his development and would like an extension to the agreement. • Mr. Burdett is advised to take a more proactive approach and complete the project within the time period provided for Revitalization Grants. BACKGROUND Mr. Burdett submitted the City's first application for a Revitalization Grant within the Downtown CIP area in 2006. The original proposal was to construct a four storey addition to an existing building being used for an automobile tinting operation. Staff acknowledges that sometimes there are delays in completing construction projects due to financial issues, lack of a particular product availability or contractor delays. The additional storeys are intended to be used for residential purposes and the top storey as a mechanical penthouse. The Committee of Adjustment granted approval for an increase in building height and floor area in 2007. The Building Division has been working with Mr. Burdett over the past several years with various inspections. There have been issues in the past such as the placement of scaffolding around the building for an extended period of time which is not very attractive. The Revitalization Grant is projected to be approximately $11,500. This amount was estimated at the time the application was reviewed. The exact amount of grant will be determined following the completion of the project and the reassessment of the property May 27, 2014 -2 - PBD-2014-23 by MPAC. The reassessment information is provided to Finance who then determines the final amount of the grant. The grant is to be the equivalent to 80% of the increase in municipal property taxes in years 1 to 5, 60% in years 6 to 7, 40% in year 8 and 20% in years 9 and 10. ANALYSIS City staff has worked together with many applicants in the past who have received approval of financial incentive grants under the Downtown CIP. A number of extensions have been granted for facade and building improvements, but these are cases where the completion times are much shorter. In this situation, Mr. Burdett acts as the sole contractor. He also carries on his automobile tinting operation most of the year and closes his operation during the winter months. A report for an extension was deferred in early 2013 to allow for the completion of an assessment review of the property. The minutes of settlement for this review is dated September 20, 2013. Mr. Burdett's request for an extension was re-submitted in January 2014 and requested that the wait for the assessment review be considered. According to Mr. Burdett, the final development will consist of Niagara Tinting on the ground floor, a single dwelling unit on the upper floors with a possible conversion of the second floor into a hotel/boarding area (this would require a zoning amendment). In effect, the program would be dealing with the revitalization of one commercial and one residential unit. It is the view of Planning Staff, in consultation with other Divisions, that the time period of seven years to complete the project in this case is sufficient and a further extension should not be supported. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Funds within the Downtown CIP Reserve are currently dedicated to cover the Revitalization Grant for this property. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT It is one of Council's strategic priorities to reinvest in Community Improvement Plan areas. The approval of the Revitalization Grant for this project satisfies Council's strategic commitment. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS • Appendix 1 - Photo of existing development along Bridge Street.

The season began in November and the challenge for the team coaches was to have this group learn both some fundamental basketball skills as well as develop team chemistry. Both tasks proved to be easier than expected as the boys showed tremendous enthusiasm for learning the game and gelling quickly as a team. At the end of the regular season, the team was ranked eighth in their age group division for the provincial championships (known as the OBAs)which were played in the York region. The team played their best basketball of the season and dominated play during the round robin portion of the competition. This gave the team an automatic birth in the gold medal game. During the championship game, Niagara Falls took control early in the second half with tough team defense and timely scoring. The boys were rewarded for their long, hardworking season with a gold medal. The coaches are extremely proud of all of the boys, as this was truly a "team" victory.

The fact that 11 out of 12 players returned from the year before made the transition to Major Atom a little easier. The main focus of the group was player development. They enjoyed some early success but also had some disappointments throughout the year. By the end of the season, the boys were focused on their Ontario Championships. Going into the championships, they ranked fifth in their division. After an undefeated round robin, they won their semi-final by one point. In the finals against Stoney Creek, the team played their best game of the year, winning by twelve points. The coaching staff couldn't be happier for the boys and thank all the parents for their dedication through a very long and cold winter.

I have reviewed the letter which was forward from Dean. The letter is essentially a sales pitch from the concrete association looking for municipal support to fight their battle with the Ministry. Currently the Ministry is doing an extensive review of the potential of allowing wood construction to be utilized on larger buildings. This is primarily at the request of the wood association within Canada. The new edition of the building code does not yet permit such buildings but the change is being contemplated. In my opinion this is a decision to be made at the provincial level by those engineers and lawyers drafting the code language. They would be privy to all of the testing and supporting documentation necessary to make such an important decision. The Concrete association has sent this letter in hopes that the municipalities will show support to their cause out of fear generated from the items in their letter thus giving further merit to their argument. As stated. I believe we should respectfully allow those posed to make such decisions to do so without our interference There is no need to involve any more political interference then is necessary. Respectfully. Jeff Menard, Chief Building Official Extension. 4257 Cement Association Association Canadienne (Le of Canada du Cement Ottawa, April 25, 2014 Councillor Victor Pietrangelo City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen St., Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Councillor Pietrangelo, On behalf of the Cement Association of Canada (CAC), I would like to draw your attention to an urgent issue that could negatively impact the integrity of the Ontario Building Code and jeopardize the safety of the people in your municipality. On March 20, 2014, the Ontario government announced proposed changes to the Ontario Building Code to permit the construction of six-storey wood frame buildings. The province is holding a public consultation on the proposed changes until May 4, 2014. The provincial government's announcement reflects the interests of the wood products industry and its recent lobbying efforts. Those who promote taller wood frame construction believe that a four storey limit on residential and commercial wood buildings is no longer necessary, and have been actively pressing provincial governments to politically amend building codes to permit six storey wood frame structures outside the tried and true longstanding building code review process. Federally, the wood products industry is also pushing for changes to allow for the construction of six-storey wood buildings in the 2015 edition of the National Building Code of Canada. As an elected representative of your municipality, I know that you want to protect and strengthen your municipality, as well as ensure that your housing market meets or exceeds the codes and standards that the residents of your community deserve. Unfortunately, the proposal put forth by the Ontario government, as currently drafted, could place Ontarians' lives at risk. Currently, there are no provisions in place to protect those who are engaged in the construction of these buildings or the fire fighters who respond to emergencies or potentially fatal fires in these buildings. It is considered outside the mandate of the building code to include safety clauses for people who work on the site and those who respond to emergencies at the site. We believe that the lives of fire fighters should be protected in the Ontario Building Code. An interesting point to note is that Ontario has 19,000 voluntary fire fighters and only 11,000 professional fire fighters. Further, if the regulation is approved, taller wood frame buildings may be constructed in areas of your municipality that may not have adequate firefighting coverage, including those currently being protected by voluntary firefighters. Many local fire departments across the province do not have the equipment to fight a massive blaze in a six storey building. To adequately fight such a fire, fire fighters need 100-foot ladder trucks that cost as much as $1.0 million each and require specially trained crews. This is very costly, particularly at a time when municipal tax dollars are being stretched to the limit and when we see some Ontario municipalities, including the city of Toronto, cutting their budgets for fire services. 350 Sparks, #502, Ottawa ON K1R 758 Telephone 613-236-9471 Fax 613-563-4498 Cement Association Accnciation Canadienne IlL .a of Canada du Ciment Owners of residential and commercial buildings constructed with wood may also face higher insurance premiums. I know that your government wants to ensure that housing remains affordable in your municipality. The proposed changes to the Ontario Building Code will undoubtedly increase building and insurance costs - and, most importantly, compromise the safety of the people in your community. Those who are often the most vulnerable - the very young, seniors and physically disabled citizens - are those who would be at greatest risk in the unfortunate scenario where a fire breaks out. The massive fires that have recently destroyed multi-storey wood buildings in Kingston, Ontario, Richmond, British Columbia, Edmonton, Alberta, and Houston, Texas, demonstrate how dangerous these buildings can be, and how many lives will be put at risk as a result. We do appreciate that the Ontario government has included some fire safety provisions in the draft proposal, such as the inclusion of non-combustible stairwells. However, the omission of important fire safety features - such as non-combustible elevator shafts and firewalls - demonstrate that this proposal does not go far enough to protect the people and communities of Ontario. Recently we saw how a concrete masonry firewall prevented a raging fire in L'Isle-Verte, Quebec from destroying an entire retirement complex. This tragedy should serve as a reminder that we need more fire safety features implemented in our building codes to fully protect the safety of Ontario communities. The minimum standard of a building code is just not enough to protect the residents of your community. The proposal that has been put forward by the Ontario government, which boosts an industry at the expense of citizens' safety, is a cause of great concern. We are currently urging each and every politician in Ontario to call on the provincial government to defer any proposed mid-rise wood frame changes to the Ontario Building Code until after the 2015 National Building Code of Canada is debated and the fire safety issues are adequately addressed. This will allow time for proper assessment and coordination with the National Building Code of Canada, which is the standard code development process traditionally used in Ontario. It is crucial that any building code changes go through proper channels and ensure that all fire safety implications are addressed. We need a full public policy debate about what risks Ontarians are willing to take when it comes to the construction standards set for the buildings that we live and work in. Please write to your MPP and to the Honourable Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs to raise your concern that the Province of Ontario shouldn't be moving so quickly and out of step with the National Building Code Process. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about the CAC's position on mid-rise wood frame construction and fire safety. We know you understand that the health and safety of Ontario communities must come first.

As Council is likely aware, the area in the vicinity of Mountain Road has long been an area for dirt bike enthusiasts. As development has increased in the area, it is not surprising that there would be the possibility of conflict between the activity and nearby residential development. In 2013, the City did receive a related noise complaint. Private property owners were advised of the activity on their lands. Due to the nature of the complaint , the matter was forwarded to the Niagara Regional Police, who received written permission from land owners to act as agents for the purpose of Trespass Orders. Staff appreciates the petition, however, as Councillor Wing outlined in an email, the City has no control over permission related to private property. With regard to "long term" locations for the activity, if Council wishes to pursue this, the matter should be referred to staff. I Working Together to Serve Our Community May 10 2014 To: Mayor Diodati &City Council members Re: Sand Pits My name is Neal Hillesheim, I was born and raised in Niagara Falls and I have been an avid dirt biker for more than 34 years.One of my wife and I's first dates were spending an afternoon at the sand pits teaching her how to ride. We now have 3 girls,Angela 10, Lilly 6 and Kate 18 mths. For many years now we have spent a lot of our weekends at the sand pits teaching Angela and Lilly to ride, providing great family time together. Until now!! The sand pits have provided a local place for people and families to ride for over 50 years. It has been a great place to ride with a wide variety of terrain. There are open flat areas for children to learn, a numbers of motocross tracks and a variety of hills to climb. We are now unable to ride at this location for what we understand are complaints from neighbors of noise and littering and also a proposed development. My wife and I decided to start a Facebook page called "Help save the Sand Pits" to see how much support we could generate in defense of the closure of the sand pits. In just over a week we have almost 900 supporters of the page. We encourage all members of council to take a few minutes and browse through Facebook page and read the comments from the many members young and old.The one comment from an 11 year old boy was heart wrenching, it tells a story of him finding a sport he can enjoy with his family and him getting a paper route to pay for his riding gear and now being told he no longer can ride there. This sport has supported local businesses for decades and provided many jobs for local tax payers.They are now at great risk of substantial losses. This issue of tax payers complaining about so called nuisances reminds me of years ago when the problem of skateboarders riding in areas that were irritating to people.The solution was to build designated central locations for them ride. We are asking to be involved in discussions for a similar solution to this issue. Possible short term solutions • Relax the Police presence immediately at the current location • Enforce mandatory noise limits and hours of operation • We will provide clean up at our cost and posting of signage • Our members will be responsible to remind riders to be respectful of neighbors and not to litter Possible lone term solutions • The purchase of the discussed property for designated off road vehicles • The purchase of other property for designated off road use • The involvement of off road enthusiasts in the purchase of a new location • Yearly or daily memberships for the maintenance of the proposed property Thank you for taking the time to address our concerns. We look forward to your reply and further discussion.

With Niagara Falls' unique response f 3 area, we are faced with requiring multiple challenges irin different skills to P g 4 g AC cover the risks. Although one specialty response may not represent a unique situation, the various response types found in our city create a fire department that is uniquely Niagara Falls. Some of the challenges we face include; density issues created routinely by myriads of tourists and traffic — more particularly in the peak tourist season, three 400 series highways, international bridges and their associated traffic patterns, high-angle topography within the gorge, a high-rise city core area second only to Toronto, Falls rescues, high-angle canal issues with fast flowing waterways, highly urban and rural landscapes, etc. All of these factors present significant demands for the department, making it challenging for this organization, along with the significant responsibility to the residents, visitors and those employed by our city. The Fire Department's response is currently being fulfilled by 22 on- duty full-time firefighters and 65 volunteer firefighters, augmented by staff in our Communications, Training, Fire Prevention and Administration divisions. The following is a synopsis of the Niagara Falls Fire Department in 2013. We look forward to continuous improvement and a continued high level of service to our community. 4 Lee Smith Fire Chief NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT ➢ Mission: "?he Niagara Falls fire Department is committed to safely protecting Cife,property and the environment through education,prevention and emergency response." ➢ Vision: "Eliminate Coss of life andproperty, injuries, and environmental damage from fire." ➢ Values: Leadership "Everyone takes the Cead' 'teamwork "One for aCC' Accountability "Do the right thing" Respect "Give and you shall receive" NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Fire Administration r Fire Administration consists of Fire Chief, Deputy Chief of Administration, Deputy Chief of Operations, Executive Secretary, Secretary 1 and Chaplain positions, operating out of the Stan Thomson Fire Administration Building on Morrison Street.

Operating budget - $17,540,082 Capital budget - $1,009,500 The Fire Department worked throughout the year from a 2010 Agreement with the Niagara Falls Professional Fire Fighters Association. Buildings The Niagara Falls Fire Department operates from six (6) fire stations and one administration building. The City owns five of the six fire stations, with a portion of Fire Station 5 on Sodom Road being leased to the City by the Willoughby Volunteer Fire Department. A fire station location study was conducted by MMM Group that reflected similar information provided in three previous studies. NFPA standards for response coverage, OFM Planning Guidelines were used to establish benchmark criteria for emergency response. The study was presented in 2012 and Council approved the capital project in 2013 to purchase land in the southwest section of the city for Fire Station 7. Vinga ra}nlh -_ mt NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Staffing ➢ There are 132 full-time employees operating from four divisions; Suppression, Fire Prevention, Training and Communications, and an approved complement of 104 volunteer firefighters. Three full-time stations are based in the north end of the city and three volunteer stations are located in the south end of the city. Full-time staffing is 29 staff on each of four shifts. If staffing is below 22 full- time firefighters on any shift, firefighters are hired to fill the positions. There were five (5) retirements in 2013. A full-time recruit class of seven (7) and a volunteer recruit class of 14 were conducted. The approved complement of 104 volunteer firefighters is divided between the three volunteer stations. Volunteer staffing numbers at the end of 2013 are reflective of recruitment and retention issues plaguing municipalities across the province.

For example, if a structure fire occurs in the Station 5 district, Station 6 and Pumper 2 are dispatched as well. Although this provides alternative supply of staffing, there is a reduction of timely initial full response to the district as a result. NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Fleet The main apparatus includes 9 pumpers, 2 aerials, 2 heavy rescues, 3 light rescues, 1 tanker and one pumper/tanker. Two replacement pumper trucks were purchased and placed in service at Station 4 (Chippawa) and Station 6 (Crow-land). at Wit •f ir 4 All vehicles are serviced by mechanics from Municipal Works who work with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure they are appropriately serviced and maintained.

With the assistance of OPG we are able to practice these skills on a regular basis. Instructors were sent on a course in November to enhance their skills. Rope Rescue Training The Rope Rescue Training is covered by the Instructors during quarterly reviews. All firefighters are required to be trained to Level i which is completing all evolutions on the sign off sheet but do not rappel . Each shift was required to have at least 12 firefighters trained to Level 2 which includes all evolutions, including rappels. All new recruits are trained to Level 2 and it is anticipated that all firefighters will reach this level as firefighters retire. We had the opportunity to have Scott Wilkinson and Brandon Fife represent our department on the Rope Committee through the OFC. This committee is developing the first Ontario rope program meeting the NFPA 1006 standard. This year we were able to add seven more instructors to this committee to help maintain our level of competence. Haz-Mat Technicians Captain of Training D. Collee, Training Officer Hicks, Captain Vail, and firefighter Mater are Associate Instructors in Hazardous Material Technician and Operations level by the Ontario Fire College. 2013 has brought uncertainty regarding the Regional hazmat program. This situation was discussed with administration and training and the focus for 2014 will be Hazmat training. ➢ Firefighter Survival With the assistance of the instructors in firefighter survival, the program was focused on this year. Working together, both full-time and volunteer firefighters completed the program in 2013. International Association of Professional Drivers Our instructors continued to train, certify and recertify our staff in the IAPD program. This ensures that we are driving in a safe manner. Air Management (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Our two SCBA Techs are required by ISI to recertify every two years. We also have three personnel certified to conduct visual inspections on our air cylinders. SCBA Fit Testing; Three (3) personnel at each volunteer hall were trained as well as three (3) per shift thus allowing fit testing of several masks: N95, ISI SCBA face piece, C4 mask for Hazmat. Emergency Patient Care In 2013, Training Officer Hicks, firefighters Goodman and Murphy became qualified as an EPC Instructors through the Ontario Fire College. With the help of our medical committee, we have been able to move forward with this very valuable program. This training will make our medical response that much more efficient for the patients we are treated. ➢ Training Ground This year a deck was added to the Tanker Truck thus making it more realistic and challenging to train in confined space. The training ground was also secured with a fence in order to eliminate any possible safety risks to the public. ➢ Ontario Fire College Instructors The Niagara Falls Fire Department has 14 personnel certified as Associate Instructors with the Ontario Fire College. This endeavour has proven invaluable to our department and helps to contain costs. In order for these individual to maintain their certification they are required to teach each class at least once per year. This is their means of staying current as well as maintaining their certification. Promotions and Classification Examinations NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT This consumed a significant portion of our training year. The following is a list of exams that took place and the number of people who took part: - 3rd Class Exam written test was on January 3o &31 and the practical exams took place during the months of February. (9 firefighters) 1st Class Exam, written test was on March 19 & 21 the practical ran through March and April. (8 firefighters) ➢ Full-Time Recruit Class 2013 Seven (7) new recruits were hired October 14, 2013 and will graduate January 17, 2014. During recruit class they completed Component 1,2,3,4 and the OFC testing. ➢ Volunteer Recruit Class 2013 There were 15 recruits hired in 2013. The class will run from December 2013 to June 2014. When the recruits complete this program they will: - be signed off in the Firefighters Curriculum (Component 1). - have written the Provincial exam for Component 1 Certification. This will be the third class to be trained using the E-Learning developed by Captain Collee. This program will allow for the volunteers to complete the necessary theory on line at their own pace. This will ensure that all training nights are completely practical in nature. NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Emergency Management The Fire Chief is the Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) for the City of Niagara Falls. The CEMC is responsible for providing the forum for training, exercising and assembling the Emergency Management Team together in times of crisis. The training and exercise requirements were conducted and a snowstorm scenario turned out to be quite fitting in preparation for this past winter. On February 18, 2014, the Mayor's office received the 2013 compliance letter from the Chief of Emergency Management of Ontario, indicating that the City of Niagara Falls complied with all of the 15 annual requirements, as set out in the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. Two events in 2013 that required action from the Emergency Management Team were the wind/rain storms in July and December. Both events were forecasted, allowing the City to make preparations to minimize the impact and ensure staffing/equipment was ready to deploy. NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT What was new in 2013? The Training Division worked with the Niagara Parks on the installation of the Davit Arm in the Niagara Glen. It provides mechanical advantage to remove injured persons from the Niagara Gorge at the Glen steel stairs. The training was completed and this equipment should be of great use for removing injured hikers from the Niagara Glen. Niagara Parks Police have been given the ability to use the NFFD Radio Communications Tactical Channel 2 for certain rescue situations. Forcible Entry training was started and is a great enhancement of our skill level. Rescue 1 was outfitted as a Fast Attack Pumper increasing our response capability. Dash Camera was installed on Car 4 to capture relevant response footage. An automated Call-Back System was started and is still in the process of being fine-tuned. Fire truck engine regenerations are now done by the City Mechanic and it seems to have improved the truck reliability. Station 6 has become the first `call back-up' in the City. Station 4 now has Pumper 2 respond to all Priority 1 calls, 24hours a day. New dispatch zones were created in Fallsview and Lundy's Lane areas to increase response efficiencies. Paramedics were trained throughout the summer on our Gorge Rescue evolutions using Aerial 1. m m v 0 A —1 co CD-2014-08 Niagarafalls May 27, 2014 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2014-08 Adult Entertainment Hearing, May 13 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 May 13, 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. 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. May 27, 2014 -2 - CD-2014-08 This report is a result of an appeal heard on May 13, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. in Committee 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 drug trafficking offences. Although the charge is not a conviction at this time, there is a concern about drug activity occurring in Adult Entertainment establishments. Although provided notification of the hearing date, the Entertainer did not attend to make representations as to why the licence should not be revoked. The licensee had indicated to the Issuer of Licences that they had only used the licence on one occasion and had no interest in re-applying. It should be noted that recent amendments to the City's Live Adult Business By-law will mean that licence revocations will not automatically lead to a hearing. The appellant will have to give indication in writing that they wish to appeal the Issuer of Licences' decision. 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). / Recommended by: ,-.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The municipality must have the annual tax rates approved prior to providing rate payers with final tax bills. The 2014 General Purposes Budget was approved on February 11 , 2014. The annual general levy of $55,982,935 was approved at this time. The City's tax rates included in this report reflect the approved general levy. The regional, school and waste management rates have been provided by the responsible level of government and are also included in the schedule. BACKGROUND The Regional Municipality of Niagara has approved the 2014 tax ratios and tax rates. In addition, the Province of Ontario has established educational tax rates for 2014. The City is now in the position to establish its tax rates and to proceed with the Final 2014 Billing for the non-capped property classes. This report provides for Council,the City's 2014 property tax rates. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The 2014 tax levy is $55,982,935 ($54,615,431 for 2013). The General taxation portion of this total levy is $48,579,401 ($47,392,649 for 2013); the Urban Service Area taxation portion is $7,403,534 ($7,222,782 for 2013). Corresponding tax rates based on these levies are provided in Table 1. The effective tax rates are 1.01% lower than the rates approved for 2013. The Region of Niagara provides waste management services for the residents of Niagara Falls. The Region has provided the costs of this service for 2014 to the City. The annual cost used to determine the rates for 2014 is $6,661,588 ($6,585,237 for 2013). To fund this expense, the City collects the taxes from the residents using a separate tax rate. Table 2 provides a comparison of the waste management tax rates used in 2013 to the recommended rates for 2014. May 27, 2014 -2 - F-2014-20 The Appropriations and Levying By-law is prepared for Council's adoption, should Council approve the recommendation.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2014-21 Final Tax Notice Due Dates for Residential, Pipeline Farmland and Managed Forest Assessment Classes RECOMMENDATION That June 30 and September 30 be approved as the 2014 Final Due Dates for the Residential, Pipeline, Farmland and Managed Forest Assessment Classes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The due dates for final tax billing must be approved by Council pursuant to the Municipal Act. The City has established that due dates for the non-capped property classes be June 30 and September 30. The due dates for the capped classes are August 29 and October 31 due to the additional calculations required for these billings. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls is responsible for billing and collecting property taxes on all assessable properties within the municipality. These annual billings include the annual taxes for the City, for the Region of Niagara and for the appropriate local school boards. Due dates for property taxes are set to coincide with the quarterly levy payments made to the Region and the school boards. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Due to the additional calculations required to prepare the 2014 Final Tax Notices for the Commercial, Industrial and Multi-residential property classes, all assessment classes cannot be billed at the same time. Staff is therefore recommending that the Final Tax Notice Due Dates for the Residential, Pipeline, Farmland and Managed Forest Assessment Classes be set as June 30 and September 30. Once the additional calculations for the remaining classes have been determined then final tax notice due dates for the Commercial, Industrial, and Multi-residential property classes will be presented for Council's consideration.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2014-22 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 April 30, 2014 were $28.3 million compared to $28.5 million in 2013. During April, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased slightly from 35.1% in 2013 to 34.7% in 2014. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2014. At this stage, 73.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirty-six 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 April. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at April 30, 2014 are $28.3 million. This represents a decrease from $28.5 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 four months of activity. This table shows 73.2% of the tax accounts or 285 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During April, fifteen accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 70.2% (March) to 73.2% (April). May 27, 2014 - 2 - F-2014-22 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 April, one registered property was redeemed and four properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 5.9% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at April 30, 2014 is 34.7% which is a slight decrease from 2013's value of 35.1%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-25 General Insurance Report RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2014-2015 Comprehensive Insurance Program from Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City requires a renewal of the Municipal Insurance program as the current coverages expire on June 30, 2014. Staff has reviewed the existing program for adequacy of coverages and recommends that the City renew, for a one-year term from July 1 , 2014 to June 30, 2015 with Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. The annual premium of $1,959,087 is an increase from the previous annualized program of $1,867,059. The year-over-year increase is $92,028 or 4.93%. The premium increase is related to two factors. Firstly, the primary increase in the premiums is related to an increase in liability premiums for the municipality due to an increase in loss reserves for a claim from 2005. The other main cause for the premium increase is the increases in auto liability premiums as it relates to both municipal and transit fleets. In the latter cases, the municipal sector continues to have increased liability due to increased accidents in the industry. These increases have been offset by reductions in the premiums for property insurance despite the fact that the value of municipal buildings has increased in the year. The City implemented an enhanced risk management program as a result of the insurance reviews conducted in 2011. These efforts have had positive results, as the number of non storm related claims have been reduced marginally from the previous year, the true impact on insurance cost is a long term endeavour. BACKGROUND The City requires an insurance program to mitigate potential liabilities incurred during the performance of its many services and responsibilities. On an annual basis, staff performs a review of the rates charged and the coverages provided for adequacy and completeness. The City has performed these reviews during this process. The City issued an RFP in 2011 for the municipal insurance program and underwent a significant external review of its risk management program. Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. was renewed as the insurance provider, as a result of the RFP. The City anticipates going to the market for an RFP in 2015. May 27, 2014 -2 - F-2013-25 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The insurance program is reviewed annually to ensure that the coverages are sufficient and that the municipal assets are properly valued in the program. The insurance program covers from July 1, 2014 to June 2015. The summary of the 2014-2015 Insurance program is provided in Exhibit 1. The cost of the City's insurance program has increased from $1 ,867,059 to $1,959,087 for 2014 -2015. The year-over-year increase is $92,028 or 4.93% (4.13% in 2013). The premium increase is related to an increase in liability rates. The proposed insurance costs are within the budget provision for 2014. In polling other municipalities for comparative annual premium increases, staff have identified that the annual increase is below the average rate increases. It should be noted that rate increases are dependant on the risks associated with each individual municipality. In general, the municipal sector continues to be a challenge for the insurance issuers as the sector continues to experience significant losses. Some of these losses have been driven by landmark cases. In addition, claims have dramatically increased in frequency and severity. Likewise, the municipal sector has additional complexity compared to other sectors due to the wide range of services provided. Lastly, the impact of increased accidents in the transit sector has had impact on premium costs. This is a trend that is happening in all municipalities and is not unique to Niagara Falls Factors specific to Niagara Falls impact the City's annual premium. Specifically, the significant number of visitors to the City in a year increases our municipal exposure compared to centres of equivalent populations. As stated, staff has increased efforts in risk management initiatives to mitigate our exposures, however, since much of the costs are driven by past experience, these initiatives will have a longer term impact. In fact, the municipality saw positive results as non storm related claims were down marginally year over year. In addition, the increase in a reserve of a personal injury claim from 2005 has impacted the premium for this year. On a positive note, the premiums for property liability insurance were reduced in the year despite the fact that valuations of City properties increased.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2014-22 McLeod Road Reconstruction Pin Oak Drive to Kalar Road Tender Award — Contract#2014-256-11 RECOMMENDATION 1. The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Rankin Construction Inc. at the lowest price of$1,324,621.00. 2. That the Mayor and City clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. AND that staff review the estimate process for tenders. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY McLeod Road has been experiencing increased traffic due to local residential and commercial development which has led to intermittent congestion conditions. Both the McLeod Road intersections at Pin Oak Drive and Kalar Road have been constructed to ultimate conditions and it is now necessary to improve the road section between these two intersections from the current two lane section to four lanes along with bicycle lanes. BACKGROUND This road has experienced increased traffic demands due to nearby residential and commercial development. Public meetings have been held that resulted in a preferred design involving a four lane road section with bicycle lanes on each side. These road improvements will remove the current bottle-neck between Kalar Road and Pin Oak Drive and allow for the free flow of traffic in this growth area. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the Manager of Clerks Services, Bill Matson, the Manager of Supply and Services, Dave Butyniec and the Project Manager, Rick Volpini, opened tenders on May 20, 2014. May 27, 2014 - 2 - MW-2014-20 Tender documents were picked up by eight (8) Contractors and two (2) bids were received. Listed below is a summary of the totalled tender prices excluding HST, received from the Contractors. The tenders were checked and corrected bids are shown below. Contractor City Tender Price Rankin Construction St. Catharines $1,324,621 Peters Excavating Stevensville $1,461,000 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The lowest tender was received from Rankin Construction in the amount of $1,324,621.00. This contractor has performed similar type projects for the City. We are of the opinion that this contractor is capable of successfully undertaking this project. The Engineer's estimate for this project was $1,066,175. The project is scheduled to be completed within 70 days of construction start. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The construction portion of the project was approved in the City's 2014 Capital Budget. There are sufficient funds approved in the project to fund the proposed tender award. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of the Capital Project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities to establish infrastructure investment priorities, and to strengthen and promote economic development within the City.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2014-23 Ontario One Call - Registration and Service Provision RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Clerk and Mayor be authorized to execute an agreement and related addendum with Ontario One Call for the provision of call centre services; and 2. That PVS Contractors Inc. be selected as the contractor based on the tender results. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On November 12, 2013 Council authorized staff to complete the application to register with Ontario One Call and to investigate and implement practices for the provision of infrastructure location services. Staff is currently working with Ontario One Call's mapping agent to provide mapping and infrastructure information to Ontario One Call. Additionally staff has reviewed the legal and financial impacts due to the increased demand on municipal resources, costs and liability issues. Staff are recommending that locating services be contracted out to meet legislative requirements, reduce costs and mitigate liability. Staff has met with CUPE Local 133 on this matter. There will be no staffing impact due to this recommendation as the employee engaged in this activity will be redeployed. The City's locate service provider will respond to requests directly from Ontario One Call. The City will receive regular reports on types of calls, volume and billing based on each request processed, and any other individual reports the City may require. The City of Niagara Falls will no longer provide water locating services to the public, but may still perform this service for their own purposes (i.e. capital projects, water main breaks, etc.). May 27, 2014 - 2 - MW-2014-23 The City may now proceed to make application to Ontario One Call by signing the agreement with addendum, and providing information on the City's service provider. BACKGROUND The City has eight types of infrastructure that can potentially be damaged by excavators: • water mains • water services • water valves • water shut off boxes/stops • street light electrical sources • sewer laterals • sewer mains • storm mains • traffic signals Currently City staff provide call centre services and field locates for the above, excluding sewer laterals as they must be traced from inside homes, and street lights, which is performed by the City's current contractor for street lighting services. The Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act 2012 Recently (June 2012) the Ontario Legislature passed the Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act, 2012 to ensure that a comprehensive system will be in place. The requirements detailed in the Act specify: All infrastructure owners are to register by a specific time a. Municipalities have until June 18 2014 to register b. Non-municipal infrastructure owners had until June 2013 to register ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: Upon joining Ontario One Call, there will be an increased demand on municipal resources to provide locates for the following reasons: Increased Service Levels upon Participation with Ontario One Call: • The increase is anticipated as currently, most customers when calling for locates only call Ontario One Call. They are not aware they must contact the municipality as an independent locator for water services. Now that water, sewer will be included in Ontario One Calls system, all requests for locates that are received will be requiring locating services. May 27, 2014 - 3 - MW-2014-23 • Increase in Volume: based on updated statistics from Ontario One Call and other local municipalities, the City now anticipates a 400% increase to requests. This is based on 1600 utility locate requests received in 2012 by the City of Niagara Falls compared to the over 7,000 requests for other utilities in Niagara Falls as provided by Ontario One Call (see attachments 2 and 3). • Mandatory Response Time: Legislation dictates that requests for locates must be provided within 5 working days. Based on current responses, the City must increase response time by 45% to ensure compliance. • Mandatory Provision of Schematics: Legislation dictates a schematic drawing must be provided to the requester at the time of the field locate. Currently no diagrams are provided. To estimate projected impacts, staff reviewed current operating practices and attendant costs. To accurately compare various options, staff issued RFP 2014-19 which closed May 1, 2014 to obtain costs from local service providers. Staff contacted other local municipalities, and researched processes. St. Catharines currently contracts locate provision and in 2013 spent approximately $220,000 to process 11 ,800 requests (see attachments 2 and 3). FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff reviewed current costs, and researched various options to provide this service. Current Operating Costs (based on current call volume): $191,400.00 Options to manage increased volume, response time and schematic provision are as follows (see schedule 1 for details): I. Increase staff levels, equipment, vehicles & existing practices $561,400.00 II. Maintain existing staff, software & work overflow to contractor $289,679.00 III. Increase staff levels, equipment & vehicles & software $449,478.00 IV. Contract full service, mitigate liability, existing staff in new role $239,458.00 Based on reviewed options to ensure regulatory requirements are met and to mitigate liability to the City, staff is recommending that this service be outsourced to a third party service provider. May 27, 2014 - 4 - MW-2014-23 Award of Tender 2014-19 Request for Tender 2014-19 for the provision of underground utility locating closed May 1, 2014. Three contractors bid on this service in various formats, to provide locates for an estimated 7,500 requests. Staff analysed the bids, and estimated usage based on the types of calls by percentage of requests that St. Catharines currently receives. The following is a summary from attached Schedule 4. PVS Contractors Inc., St. Catharines $ 100,980.72 Olameter Inc., Aurora $ 184,811.00 Acuren Group Inc., Oakville $1,225,624.65 Staff recommend that PVS Contractors be awarded the contract for a one year period and a one year extension if necessary, for the provision of locate services. This will allow staff to monitor the work load, and ensure that contracted services is the best option for the Corporation. PVS Contractors Inc. currently provides service to the City of St. Catharines. Staff has reviewed their references and have determined their suitability. In anticipation of this demand on the municipality, staff budgeted $220,000.00 in the 2014 utility budget for contracted service provision. It is anticipated that only $50,000.00 will be required from July to December. The affected staff position is already approved in the operational budget. No new staff resources are required. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations in this report ensure adherence to Provincial Legislation and is consistent with the Council's strategic commitment to continually monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of the City's operations in doing so.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2014-07 Niagara Falls Dog Park Rules and Regulations RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve related signage at the Dog Park. 2. That staff work with the Humane Society and the Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemen's Association (SCVFA) regarding a possible on-site location for Humane Society personnel. And that the rule forbidding pronged collars be removed EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Dog Park is regulated by Park Regulations, By-law No.71-57 and Licensing and Regulations for the keeping of dogs, Bylaw No. 75-253. Rules specific to the park are also posted at the facility. The compliance and enforcement of the By-laws and rules are essential to avoid confrontations and misuse of the facility. The Humane Society has agreed to step up monitoring and enforcement at the Dog Park. An increased presence will be beneficial to ensure that all dogs using the premises are licensed. The Humane Society benefits from all dog licensing revenue, therefore, it is beneficial that they are on-site. BACKGROUND The Niagara Falls Dog Park, located at Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemen's Park opened in the Spring of 2012. An off-leash Dog Park was identified as a priority in the City's Parks, Recreation & Culture Masterplan. One of the main goals of the Niagara Falls Dog Park is to provide a safe and inviting park setting for dogs to run free within a controlled environment, while eliminating off-leash incidents throughout the City. In order to provide this controlled environment, rules and regulations were put in place to avoid misuse and conflict. Since the opening of the park, there has been a tendency for owners to allow dogs "off leash" prior to entrance to the cordoned off dog park areas. Also, there have been confrontations at the park between users when owners have not followed the rules of the park (see attachment#1). May 27, 2014 - 2 - R&C-2014-07 A Friends of the Niagara Falls Dog Parks Volunteer Committee was established to act as ambassadors of the park, educating the public about the rules and providing dog park etiquette. Although the volunteer committee has been valuable in helping with these goals, there is a feeling that a more strict enforcement of the park rules and related City By-laws (Parks By-law 71-57, as amended, and By-law 75-253, as amended, the by-law licensing and regulating the keeping of dogs) is needed. Currently, the Niagara Falls Humane Society provides enforcement at periodic visits and on a complaint basis. One rule not being enforced is the requirement that all dogs using the park have a municipal dog licence. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City has a Fee for Service with the Niagara Falls Humane Society for providing a municipal pound and for animal control, most notably dogs at large. Also, the Niagara Falls Humane Society collects all revenues from municipal dog licensing; however, like most municipalities, the amount of compliance with the licensing requirement is relatively low. At a meeting between Staff and the Humane Society, the organization agreed to increase the level of enforcement at the Dog Park. This new enforcement campaign will be launched on June 14, 2014, at an awareness event hosted at the Dog Park. In addition, local dog-related businesses/organizations will attend to bring value to the event. To buttress the increased presence of the Humane Society, additional signage is being proposed. Two additional signs outlining the Dog Park rules will be affixed to the fencing. Also, staff has been working with Coyote Watch Canada on signage related to the City's Coyote awareness program, which emphasizes the need to keep dogs on-leash. Fireman's Park has been identified as a prime location for the "coyote" signage. Obviously, the key to rule adherence, will be a greater presence by the Humane Society on-site. Discussions between staff, the SCVFA and the Humane Society have occurred regarding a possible permanent location for Humane Society staff. The SCVFA building may be able to accommodate Humane Society personnel. A suggestion that an on-site office will be explored further by the groups. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Niagara Falls Humane Society will take the lead to enhance enforcement of the rules at the Dog Park. No new rules or By-law amendments are being contemplated. The Niagara Falls Humane Society will spearhead the June 14, 2014, dog park event with the assistance of the Friends of Niagara Falls Dog Park Volunteer Committee and the City Staff liaison. The licensing revenues go directly to the Humane Society. Nonetheless, the hope is that the event will lead to greater dog licensing compliance and, ultimately, more revenue to the Humane Society. The sign costs will be nominal at approximately $50 each and will be covered under the Municipal Works budget. May 27, 2014 -3 - R&C-2014-07 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City of Niagara Falls is committed to providing a safe and clean environment throughout its facilities. Enhancing the enforcement of dog park rules will elevate both aspects at the dog park. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Municipal Dog Park Rules and Regulations 2.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2014-15 Administrative Monetary Penalties Parking By-law Enforcement RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approves the Administrative Monetary Penalty System ("AMPS"), including renegotiation of agreements with the Ministry of Transportation ("MTO") and the Ministry of the Attorney General ("MAO"). 2. That Council approve staff proceed with acquiring the services of a Hearing Officer for the purpose of the AMPS process. 3. That Council approve the AMPS bylaw along with the Policies and Procedure to implement the AMPS system in the City of Niagara Falls. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As of July 1, 2014, the Provincial Offences Act("POA") Court system will no longer provide Court time for Part II parking matters. In order to continue to be able to enforce parking regulations effectively, Ontario municipalities are implementing the AMPS system. Staff are seeking approval of the bylaw and policies relating to the establishment of an AMPS system for parking By-law enforcement. BACKGROUND Recent amendments to the Municipal Act allow municipalities to establish a system of administrative penalties for the enforcement of parking and licensing By-law. The changes also permit a municipal council to delegate its quasi-judicial and administrative functions to individuals appointed by the municipal council, such as an officer, employee, or agent of the municipality. An administrative monetary penalty is an alternative to the traditional enforcement of the parking By-law. Under the AMPS, a By-law Enforcement Officer would issue a Penalty Notice on a vehicle in contravention of a parking By-law. If the individual wanted to dispute the Penalty Notice, they would have a right to appeal to a Hearing Officer, who would have authority to affirm, vary or rescind the Penalty Notice. The Hearing Officer would be an May 27, 2014 -2 - TS-2014-15 individual appointed by Council. Subject to the regulations passed under the Municipal Act, 2001, the City has discretion to determine the amount of the administrative monetary penalty; who can be appointed as the Hearing Officer; and to develop its own procedures for the imposition and collection of the administrative monetary penalty, as well as the procedures to be followed during the appeal process. Report In April 2011, the City was given preliminary notice by the Regional Senior Justice of the Peace, Central West Region, that the POA Court was considering removing Part II parking matters from the Niagara Master Court Plan, in order to address a serious backlog of POA matters before the Court. It was recently confirmed that the proposed changes mean the POA Court will no longer provide Court time for parking matters. Current System In order to enforce the City's parking By-law infractions, the City's By-law Enforcement Officer lays charges under the Provincial Offences Act, Part II, Parking, which initiates proceedings in the POA Court. Proceedings are commenced by way of a Parking Infraction Notice, where the offender can either pay the set fine, or request a trial in POA Court. The City is allocated only two Court days per month in POA Court, totalling three hours, to hear all disputed matters. Presently, the City's Opt-In Agreement with MAG already places the responsibility of all trial dockets and all notifications up to and including conviction and/or the resolution of a trial, on the Municipality. Enforcement Officers issue approximately 22,000 parking tickets annually to the licence plate owner of vehicles parked in contravention of the City's parking By-laws. The majority of parking tickets are paid or resolved without the need of a trial. In 2013, the City booked 20 trials. Unfortunately, even with the majority of tickets being settled, there is a backlog in trials. Currently, trials are being booked eight months in advance. Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS) An administrative monetary penalty is a penalty imposed directly by the regulatory authority, in this case the City, upon an alleged offender within the context of an administrative process, rather than a judicial process. Under AMPS, an Officer will issue a Penalty Notice to an alleged offender, which becomes a debt owed to the City. The recipient of the Penalty Notice may request a review of the Penalty Notice by a Screening Officer and, if unsatisfied with the outcome, may request a review of the decision by a Hearing Officer. The Screening and Hearing Officers are appointed by Council for a predetermined term. POA Court is not an available option and the decision of the Hearing Officer is final. Regulation 333/07 under Section 102.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001, outlines the administrative fees permitted to be charged, procedural requirements, enforcement powers, and general conditions under which the system can operate. The regulation also requires that a municipality "designate" the parking By-law or the part of it to which the administrative penalty will apply. As the POA does not apply to the contravention of a "designated By-law,"an AMPS for parking would become the only means of enforcing the May 27, 2014 -3 - TS-2014-15 "designated" parking By-law or the "designed" part of the parking By-law. There is no regulation that specifically deals with a licensing administration penalty process, therefore, the option to alternate between an AMPS and the current POA system would remain for licensing matters. Staff will work toward keeping the administrative penalty for the violations of the parking By-law at the current fine levels, subject to the final review of the associated costs and other systems that have been implemented in other municipalities. It should be noted that the Municipal Act does not permit a municipality to impose an administrative penalty system for an accessible parking offence. Offences related to accessible parking must continue to be prosecuted by way of Part II tickets under the POA, due to the provincially mandated minimum fine amount of $300.00. All fees associated with direct costing to the City be implemented as indicated in the bylaw as fees onto the defendant of the Penalty Notice. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The number of municipalities implementing AMPS is growing. Vaughan, Oshawa, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, London and Burlington have implemented administrative penalty systems for parking matters. St. Catharines, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener, Waterloo Guelph, Thorold, Niagara-on-the-lake, Port Colborne and Grimsby are currently looking into establishing AMPS regimes. The Toronto Ombudsman's recent investigation into Toronto's parking ticket dispute system has strongly suggested that it explore opportunities to implement an administrative penalty system for Toronto. A growing number of municipalities and professional bodies (Ontario Law Commission, Association of Provincial Offences Court Managers) are calling for the Province to allow municipalities to implement AMPS for all parking offences, including those with fines greater than $100.00 and relating to accessibility matters. AMPS has been demonstrated to be a more streamlined and efficient offence dispute resolution process. Greater control over the process and scheduling will assist in achieving greater compliance and cost recovery, by reducing delays. The City will have a greater ability to enforce collection of outstanding penalties using AMPS as the solution to the loss of POA Court scheduling. There are some concerns with AMPS that will need to be addressed in the final implementation. It will be most important to maintain the fairness and impartiality of the system currently provided by the POA Court. This can easily be addressed in the process and the selection criteria for the Hearing Officer. Currently Welland, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Wainfleet, Grimsby, West Lincoln, Niagara-on-the-lake and Niagara Falls are looking to cost share a Hearing officer. The City of St. Catharines, Pelham and Thorold are moving to hire their own Hearing Officer at an anticipated rate of$300.00 per hearing session. Effective enforcement of the City's parking regulations is important to ensuring compliance with the City's parking By-laws and the associated collection of parking revenue. In order to ensure uninterrupted enforcement ability, it is necessary to establish an AMPS system May 27, 2014 -4 - TS-2014-15 to replace that currently available through the POA Court. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As a result of the new process that will be required, there will be one time cost associated with program development, computer software modification of $20,000.00. Changes to enforcement patrol routes and off season coverage will result in a reduction of enforcement staff requirements to help offset the initial start up cost of the AMPS process. It is anticipated that a Hearing officer providing reviews for parking infraction disputes will result in an annual operating cost of $2500. Administrative fees will be established to recover costs associated with the conviction process. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The AMPS will work in conjunction with the City's goal of providing improved customer service as it will allow more timely resolution of parking matters, while at the same time providing greater control over the cost recovery for parking infractions.

Once you receive a Penalty Notice, you have 15 days from the date on the Notice to dispute the Penalty Notice by appearing before a Screening Officer at City Hall. The Screening Officer is available Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am —4:00 pm in Parking Services at MacBain Community Centre (7150 Montrose Road, Niagara Falls, ON L2H 3M3). Appointments are not necessary. If you cannot attend one of the drop-in days, then call the City at 905-905 356-7521 ext. 4960 and request an extension of time to meet with a Screening Officer. You have 45 days to request an extension of time from the Penalty Notice date. 2. The Screening Officer may extend the time to request a review of the Administrative Penalty under extenuating circumstances. 3. You may have someone attend the Screening Meeting as your agent; HOWEVER, a written and signed letter from you must be provided to the Screening Officer indicating that you are allowing that particular individual to appear as your agent in this matter. 4. You may have someone attend the Screening Meeting as your interpreter. 5. You may bring any documents relating to your Penalty Notice to the Screening Meeting. 6. The Meeting will be informal and is essentially an opportunity to explain to the Screening Officer why he or she should reduce or cancel the ticket. You may also request an extension of time to pay the ticket. If you are making arguments that the ticket will cause you undue hardship, you should have some documentation proving your financial situation. In the alternative, you will need to explain to the Screening Officer why the ticket will cause you undue hardship and the Screening Officer will have to make a determination as to your credibility. Therefore it is recommended that you bring some documentation to support your position. 7. On a review of the Administrative Penalty, the Screening Officer may affirm the Administrative Penalty, or cancel, reduce or extend the time for payment of the Administrative Penalty, including any late payment administrative fees, on the following grounds: a) where the person establishes, on a balance of probabilities that the motor vehicle was not parked, standing or stopped as described in the Penalty Notice; or b) the cancellation, reduction or extension of the time for payment of the Administrative Penalty, including any late payment administrative fees, is necessary to reduce hardship. 8. You may request a review of the Screening Decision by filing a Notice of Intention to Appear at a Hearing Meeting form with Parking Services within 15 days after the Screening Meeting. Parking Services will mail you a Notice of Hearing Meeting with the date, time and place of that meeting, along with any documents the City might have that you might need for the Hearing (for example, officer notes, copy of Penalty Notice and Screening Decision).

APPOINTMENT OF SCREENING AND HEARING OFFICERS By-law 89-2000, sets out the rules regarding the appointment of Screening and Hearing Officers. Screening Officers are City employees, who work in Parking Services and are appointed by Council. Council Members or their relatives are not permitted to be Screening Officers. Hearing Officers are independent third parties who conduct the hearings in the public interest. City employees, Council members or any of their respective relatives are not permitted to be Hearing Officers. Hearing Officers are also appointed by Council. These rules are consistent with legislation and the rules of other municipalities and are meant to preserve the integrity of the Administrative Monetary Penalty Program. 2. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Screening Officers are employees of the City of Niagara Falls and therefore must abide by the City's Code of Conduct. If Screening Officers are appointed in the future and are not City employees, they shall nonetheless abide by the City's Code of Conduct. Screening Officers must BE and APPEAR TO BE impartial at all times. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for a Screening Officer to review a Penalty Notice for their friends or any relative. A conflict of interest includes an ACTUAL conflict and a POTENTIAL conflict. Hearing Officers are not employees of the City of Niagara Falls, but they have stricter legal obligations to conduct hearings in an impartial manner. Not only are they bound by the Statutory Powers and Procedures Act R.S.O. 1990, c. S.22, but they are bound by general administrative common law principles (i.e. procedural fairness, natural justice, impartial and unbiased decision maker, legitimate expectation, etc.). Hearing Officers must BE and APPEAR TO BE impartial at all times. Depending on the circumstances, it might be inappropriate for a Hearing Officer to review a Screening Decision for an acquaintance. 3. PREVENTING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The key to preventing conflicts of interests are: 1) disclosure and 2) withdrawal from the decision making process. The need for disclosure and withdrawal from a Screening or Hearing decision applies to financial interests and includes any personal benefit, or any benefit to the Officer's family and friends. Screening Officers shall: 1. Follow the process in the City's Code of Conduct and notify the Supervisor of Parking Services if they believe there is, or could be a conflict of interest. 2. Request for another Screening Officer to conduct the review to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest. Hearing Officers shall: 1. Disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest to the Director of Transportation Services and withdraw from the decision making process. 2. Request another appointed Hearing Officer to review the Screening Decision in the event of a conflict. If all appointed Screening or Hearing Officers have a conflict with a particular file, then the Director of Transportation Services, or his/her designate shall retain another Screening or Hearing Officer, with City Council's approval, to handle the conflict in question. Screening Officers and Hearing Officers are not permitted to challenge their own Penalty Notices and are expected to pay the fee for the parking infraction in a timely manner. If there are any further questions or if staff are looking for further guidance, the City Solicitor should be contacted. 4. ADDRESSING CONFLICT IF THEY OCCUR The City's Code of Conduct has a process that deals with the enforcement and ramifications for breaches of the Code. These steps shall be followed in the event a Screening Officer engages in a conflict of interest. If someone suspects that a Hearing Officer handled a file where there was a conflict of interest, that person may make a formal complaint to the Director of Transportation Services, as per the City's Public Complaints Against the Administration of the System document (AMP- 8). The situation regarding the alleged conflict of interest shall be investigated and the Director of Transportation Services shall recommend to Council appropriate disciplinary action. 5. INFLUENCE No person shall attempt, directly or indirectly, to communicate for the purpose of influencing a Screening Officer or a Hearing Officer respecting the determination of an issue respecting a Delegated Power of Decision in a proceeding that is or will be pending before the Screening Officer or Hearing Officer. Exceptions include: 1. a person who is entitled to be heard in the proceeding or the person's lawyer or licensed paralegal; and 2. only by that person or the person's lawyer or licensed paralegal during the hearing of the proceeding in which the issue arises. If someone attempts to influence a Screening or Hearing Officer, contrary to the rules above, the Screening or Hearing Officer shall report the incident to the Director of Transportation Services as soon as possible. No action will be taken against the Screening or Hearing Officer for making any such report in good faith. 6. CHARGES UNDER THE CRIMINAL CODE OR OTHER STATUES OR REGULATIONS Where a Screening or Hearing Officer is charged with an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada or any other federal statute or regulation that is dealt with under the Criminal Code of Canada, such charge shall be disclosed forthwith to the Director of Transportation Services. Where a Screening or Hearing Officer is charged with an offence under other federal or provincial statutes or regulations and where continuing to perform his or her duties may erode public confidence in the administration of justice, the charge shall be disclosed to the Director of Transportation Services. A determination will be made as to whether or not an actual or perceived conflict exists or if public confidence in the administration of justice has been compromised and, if so, the Screening or Hearing Officer may be removed from his or her duties until final disposition of the charge.

PROCESS: Both the Screening Officer and the Hearing Officer have the discretion to extend the time for payment of an Administrative Penalty. In exercising their discretion, the Screening Officer or Hearing Officer may take into consideration such factors such as: • the amount of the Administrative Penalty and Fees; and • whether the person is employed, student, retired, or other circumstances that would render the payment of the penalty and fine an undue hardship. The extension of time by either the Screening Officer or the Hearing Officer should not exceed 120 days from the date of the Penalty Notice. The decision of the Hearing Officer is final. If a person is granted an extension of time to pay, the Screening or Hearing Officer shall notify the Supervisor of Parking Services forthwith so that the City's records can be amended accordingly.

As per the City's AMP By-law - , any person may request that the Screening Officer extend the time to request a review within 45 days after the Penalty Notice Date. Similarly, if a person wishes to contest the Screening Decision, he or she must request a hearing with a Hearing Officer within 15 days from the Screening Decision. Any person may request that the Hearing Officer extend the time to request a review within 45 days after the Screening Decision.

Screening Meetings are available Monday to Friday between 8:30am and 4.00pm, in person at MacBain Community Centre, City of Niagara Falls Service Centre. Appointments are not necessary. If the person misses the 15 day window to meet with a Screening Officer, the City will send a Past Due Notice advising them that they still have time to meet with a Screening Officer. If the person needs more time, then they should call the City and ask to speak to the Screening Officer to request an Extension of Time for that meeting. As per the City's by-law, the person only has 45 days from the Penalty Notice Date to request a review of the administrative penalty by a Screening Officer. Extension of Time The Screening Officer may extend the time to request a review of the Administrative Penalty when the Person requesting the extension demonstrates extenuating circumstances that warrant the extension of time. Normally an Extension of Time should be within 60 days of the date of the Penalty Notice. However, if there are graver extenuating circumstances, a Screening Officer may grant an Extension for a longer period of time, but the Extension of Time may not exceed 180 days. If a Person needs to reschedule a Screening Meeting, the Screening Officer will have the discretion to allow or deny the request based on the Person's extenuating circumstances. Reporting to the Supervisor of Parking Services The Screening Officer shall report all Extensions of Time granted or denied to the Supervisor of Parking Services. This data will be used to properly administer the Administrative Monetary Penalty program. Hearing Meeting Hearings are held every 3 months on a Tuesday between the 9:00am and 12:00pm. A Person who wishes to contest a Screening Decision and appear before a Hearing Officer must complete and submit a Notice of Intension to Appear at a Hearing Meeting (NIA) form to Parking Services within 15 days of the Screening Decision. Extension of Time If a person fails to complete and deliver the NIA form to the City within 15 days, the person must submit a written request within 45 days of the Screening Decision. The written request must explain the extenuating circumstances that warrant an Extension of Time. The Supervisor of Parking Services will forward the request to the Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer may grant or deny the Extension of Time request. If the request is: • not granted, the Hearing Officer will send a notice to the person explaining why the request was denied. • is granted, the Hearing Officer will advise the Supervisor of Parking Services and a Notice of Hearing Meeting will be sent to the person, stipulating the time and date of the Hearing. For further information regarding the rules of procedure for Hearings, please review the City's AMP-1 Document — Rules of Procedure for Screening and Hearing Meetings.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2014-18 Speed Limits on Rural Roads RECOMMENDATION That 60 and 70 km/h speed limits be established on rural roads as outlined in this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A review was carried out to determine appropriate speed limits on rural roads in the area generally north of Schisler Road and west of Montrose Road. The recommended speed limits are based on results obtained from the technical analysis. BACKGROUND Prior to 2002, speed limits on rural roads were defaulted at 80 km/hr. Section 128 of the Highway Traffic Act was amended in 2002 to establish the speed limit on all highways within a municipal boundary at 50 km/hr, unless signed otherwise. This refers to all urban and rural roadways within City limits. Signs are present at entry points to the City to advise motorists that unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is 50 km/h. The first phase of the speed limit signing review was carried out in the summer of 2010 and encompassed the area generally east of the Queen Elizabeth Way and south of the Welland River. The recommendations from that review were approved by Council at its December 13, 2010 meeting. The second phase was carried out in the summer of 2012 and encompassed the area generally south of Schisler Road and southwest of the Queen Elizabeth Way. The recommendations from that review were approved by Council at its May 14, 2013 meeting. This is third and final phase of the rural speed limit review. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Improperly set speed limits is considered unreasonable by the motorist, will be willfully ignored, and will propagate disrespect for speed limits and traffic control devices in general. In North America, the procedure to establish an appropriate speed limit is based on the 85th percentile speed principle. This means that the speed limit will be set as near as May 27, 2014 - 2 - TS-2014-18 practical to the speed at which 85% of vehicles are travelling at or below along that road. Experience has shown that 85% of drivers will operate their vehicle at a speed that is reasonable and prudent. As a general trend, rural roads experience higher travel speeds because they have sparse development and low traffic volumes. The risk of collision is dependent on the driver speed in relation to geometric design, road surface condition, the type and volume of traffic, and the surrounding land use. Data collected within the study boundaries in the summer indicates that typically drivers travel at 70 km/h on asphalt surface road segments, and 60 km/hr on unpaved roadway segments. Additional attributing factors to the operating speed of motorists include roadway width, roadway alignment, sight lines, spacing between intersections, spacing of driveways, and pedestrian and vehicular volumes. Speed limits other than 50 km/h have mandatory requirements in the spacing of speed limit signs. Some warning signs, such as intersection ahead signs and curve warning signs are placed upstream based on the posted speed limit of the road. Proposed speed limits are as follows: • A 60 km/h speed limit is established on: • Beechwood Road between Brown Road and McLeod Road (currently consists of a gravel surface and is signed as an 80-km/h road); • Crowland Avenue between Biggar Road and Carl Road (continuation of the existing 60 km/h zone between Schisler Road and Carl Road); • Misener Road between Schisler Road and Carl Road (currently unsigned); • Upper's Lane between Beechwood Road and Thorold Townline Road (currently signed as an 80-km/h road); and, • Young Road between Montrose Road and Morris Road (currently unsigned). • A 70 km/h speed limit is established on the following unsigned roads: • Carl Road between Montrose Road and the West City Limit; and, Morris Road between Schisler Road and Grassy Brook Road. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation/replacement of the signs is carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material cost has been accounted for in the 2014 General Purposes Budget. The estimated cost to install the signs is approximately $4,500. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, which include ensuring that environmental, health, and social benefits direct transportation planning and design May 27, 2014 - 3 - TS-2014-18 decisions related to walking, cycling, and public transit.
