L2H - 2X1 (905) 708-7224 ATTN: Mayor of Niagara Falls and Members of Council Mayor Jim Diodati & Members of Council: Re: Arif Merani Recognition Last year, Niagara Falls City Council graciously entertained a deputation from myself and other members of Arif's Army,the fundraising initiative in the memory of my late son. The deputation provided valuable exposure and publicity for our fundraising endeavours. As a reminder, my son was a 22-year old Carleton student, when he tragically passed helping changing a tire on the side road on route home for Thanksgiving. He was an active volunteer in Niagara Falls, including a member of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee, and later at university. Arif focussed much of his volunteers efforts toward the plight of abused women and the conditions of the aboriginal people. We continue to support charities such as Gillian's Place in his memory. My request today is for Council to honour Arif Merani by considering naming a street or park in his honour. I appreciate that his name could remain on the list for many years, however, I would like to ensure that he gets on the appropriate lists for future consideration.

Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 51, Niagara Falls, Ontario February 19, 2015 City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen St, PO Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON, L2E 6X5 To Mayor Diodati and City Council: This is a letter requesting that any and all fees & charges associated with the road closure and City assistance for our upcoming 78th annual 40&8 Pilgrimage held on May 16, 2015 be waived. As you know, the Royal Canadian Legion is a non-profit organization committed to assisting war veterans, educating youth and contributing to the many communities in Canada. In particular, Branch 51 which has been a Legion since 1926 here in Niagara Falls has contributed several hundred thousands of dollars (if not more) and just as many volunteer hours over the past nine decades to many different and diverse causes in the city including veterans, seniors, schools, hospitals, youth organizations, youth sports and many more noble endeavours. As well, this Pilgrimage, a joint Canadian &American war veterans memorial service, has been held annually every May since 1937. This service is conducted by Canadian and American war veterans each and every year at the Cenotaph on Clifton Hill here in Niagara Falls. We utilize the immediate Parks area at the Cenotaph as well as the small portion of the city street where our stationary parade forms up and the service is conducted. We respectfully request the City of Niagara Falls waive any and all charges &fees, in lieu of the past, current and future community-oriented contributions to the many charitable and non-profit concerns in our fine city that Branch 51 is involved in. As our membership declines due to normal attrition, our Legion is unable to support any costs associated with this event. I am at your service if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. I can be reached at 905-358-5205 and/or ronpotter(c sympatico.ca .

Permission is requested for a motorcade to proceed from the Canadian end of the Rainbow Bridge, River Road to Cenotaph for service at approximately 11.30 am. then to Clifton Hill (NR 30)Falls Ave. The service will then commence. Following the service(12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.), the motorcade will go Falls Avenue to Newman Hill, QEW (420), Stanley Ave (NR 102) to 5610 Fraser Street,Branch 51 Clubhouse. We are also requesting that Clifton Hill, between Falls Avenue and River Road be closed off to outside traffic,with the City providing barricades on-site to be used in co-ordination with traffic control provided by the NRP and Niagara Parks Police. As per our agreement last year, we can operate with the 3 lanes closed nearest the Cenotaph, providing the outside 4th lane near the Oak Gardens for WEGO bus use, again providing that the WEGO buses do not idle, thereby creating a significant health hazard.

Diodati & Members of Council From: Dean lorfida, City Clerk Date: March 24, 2014 Re: Sam DiCarlo Letter re: Monroe Plaza Staff has been dealing with a number of complaints related to Monroe Plaza. Meetings go as far back as November 2013 with some minor resolution of matters (Lighting issues, repair of fence). Some changes to the plaza, since approval of the original site plan, and the institution of an additional parking area on hydro corridor lands have necessitated a zoning by-law amendment. Planning staff received the application from the plaza owners in late February and subject to a complete application and neighbourhood meeting, could be before Council in early spring. When Bylaw and Planning staff met with Mr. DiCarlo late last year, we advised him that our practice is to not take enforcement action on a zoning by-law infraction(s) if there is an effort by the property owner/lessee to bring the parcel into compliance. The parking lot in question was originally gravel. It was paved in November 2014. The plaza owner, whose property has been quite successful, has used the lot for staff parking only, though for much of the winter, the lot has only been used for snow storage purposes. If By-law staff feels the process is at a standstill, we have no issue laying charges, subject to consultation with the Regional prosecutor.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Dear Mayor Diodati and Members of City Council: Re: Parking on Hydro Lands and Outstanding Site Plan Issues,and use of laneway Munroe Plaza My wife (Mary DiCarlo) and I own and reside at McKinless Crescent, Niagara Falls, located next to Munroe Plaza. For quite some time, I have been requesting that the owner of the Munroe Plaza(Mr. Angelo Marino) correct the outstanding site plan matters and laneway pertaining to Munroe Plaza. Despite my concerns, these matters have not been addressed. However, most importantly, for many months, I have asked City Staff to stop the use of the parking lot that has been built by Mr. Marino,without zoning amendment and site plan approvals or permits. This parking lot (leased from Ontario Hydro) is located next to the plaza and beside my home and fronts on Thorold Stone Road. It is not appropriate for Mr. Marino to beg City Council for forgiveness instead of asking for permission. This parking lot should be shut down. I am attaching copy of letter from Mr. Alex Herlovitch, dated February 4, 2015 indicating that a zoning amendment application is imminent. However, in the meantime, why hasn't the City stopped the use of this parking lot? Yours truly, Sa , DiCarlo Niagara, alts February 4, 2015 Mr. Sam DiCarlo 4058 Mclness Crescent Niagara Falls, ON L2E 7A6 Dear Mr. DiCarlo: Re: Parking on Hydro Lands Munroe Plaza This letter responds to your telephone inquiry about the status of the application to rezone the hydro corridor lands for the benefit of the Munroe Plaza. Following our on-site meeting, at which you were present, Mr. Marino and his agent, Michael Allen, attended a pre-consultation meeting on December 18, 2014 at City Hall to discuss the submission requirements to allow parking for the plaza on the hydro corridor. This office corresponded with Mr. Allen on January 28, 2015. Mr. Allen assures us that a zoning amendment application is imminent. As you can see, this office continues to seek compliance with the City's by-laws. As an abutting land owner, you will be notified of the Open House and Public meeting associated with such an application, once filed and scheduled. Please be reassured that your complaint and concerns are receiving the attention of the City. A copy of this letter is being sent to your solicitor.

Diodati & Members of Council From: Dean lorfida, City Clerk Date: March 24, 2014 Re: Gary Wilkins — 6043 Kister Road, Request for relief Mr. Wilkins resided at the address above. Similar to a handful of properties on Kister, his property had a legal non-conforming residence in an Industrial zone. Unfortunately, a fire destroyed the house last fall. Mr. Wilkins wishes to rebuild his residence on the property. The Zoning By-law allows the land owner to build to the same footprint of the building as before the fire. Since the owner intends to build beyond the footprint of the previous building, he needs to obtain a variance, through the Committee of Adjustment, to that provision. Staff would be supportive of the application and will process the application expeditiously; however, with the variance is an application fee of$2100. Mr. Wilkins is requesting relief to the fee in light of the hardship circumstances. RECOMMENDATION: For the Consideration of Council A Great City ... For Generations To Come .

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2015-11 Monthly Tax Receivables Report— February RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of February 28, 2015 were $20.9 million compared to $18.9 million in 2014. During February, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed increased from 23.1% in 2014 to 25.1% in 2015. The City's finance staff has begun the tax collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2015. There are currently twenty-five 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 2015 lags slightly behind the collection history for 2014. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at February 28, 2015 are $20.9 million. This represents an increase from $18.9 million in arrears for the same period in 2014. 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 both the commercial and residential property classes have decreased slightly from a year ago. 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, 2015, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of 2 F-2015-11 March 24, 2015 these actions after two months of activity. This table shows 61.2% of the tax accounts or 238 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During February, nine accounts were paid in full. Finance staff. continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. During the month of February, five registered properties were redeemed and five properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 2.7% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at February 28, 2015 is 25.1% which is an increase from 2014's value of 23.1%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2015-13 Niagara Falls Tourism Request RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the funding request. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the City's contribution agreement with Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) was revised to provide additional funding to the host municipality. At the time that the municipality received this funding, staff recommended a number of uses for the funds. While the bulk of the expenditure commitments were for infrastructure reinvestments, tax levy subsidy and contract for policing, Council agreed that investment into economic development initiatives were important. In 2014, Council approved a funding commitment towards a Destination Marketing Campaign conducted by Niagara Falls Tourism. In 2014, the City contributed $250,000 towards the program in partnership with Niagara Falls Tourism and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership. The request for the City is $300,000 this year. Staff believe this is an investment consistent with staff's original recommendation for economic development initiatives regarding use of the OLG reserve fund. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has a request from Niagara Falls Tourism for funding support. This request relates to a partnership opportunity for a destination marketing campaign. Attached is a letter from Niagara Falls Tourism requesting the 2015 funding amount an outlining the 2014 program results. In spring 2013, the City entered into a Revised Contribution Agreement with Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) for hosting the City's two casinos. As Council is aware, the City has received $21.3 million during the first year of the new agreement. After nine months into the second year of the agreement, the City is slightly ahead of last year's figure. Staff have advised that it would be prudent to utilize some of the OLG funds for economic development opportunities. The justification for these investments is based on 2 F-2015-13 March 24, 2015 the fact that the City's annual revenue from the Contribution Agreement is determined by revenues generated in the casinos. This funding partnership is an opportunity to invest in a program designed to attract more visitors to the City in general which will have a positive impact on casino visits. As a result, staff believe the City should participate in promotional activities that will attract additional visitors to the municipality in the hopes of increasing revenues at the casino. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The 2014 program as identified in the letter from Niagara Fails Tourism was successful. The partnership is the same as 2014, with the City, Niagara Falls Tourism and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership all participating this year. The required funding for the City has increased from $250,000 to $300,000 while the funding by Niagara Falls Tourism increased to $400,000 and the province is contributing $100,000. The City is proposing to use the OLG contribution agreement for its share as part of the economic development initiatives. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Contribution Agreement with OLG has provided funding opportunities for a variety of municipal initiatives. This request is consistent with the Economic Development Initiatives section. Since the requests appear to meet these requirements and result in matching funds from industry partners and other levels of government, staff recommend that the request be considered.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current tenant of the Centre Court Café, 1624609 Ontario Inc., seeks to sell its business to Bassam Faraj and Nadine Azzo. The City's consent is required to assign the Lease of the Centre Court Café premises. The Lease is essential to the operation of the business.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2015-12 DOW-2015-001 Facade Improvement Grant 4407 Queen Street Owner: Antonio Barranca RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Applications for 4407 Queen Street (Antonio Barranca) subject to the owner satisfying the program requirements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application can be supported because: • the existing use is in conformity with the City's Official Plan and Zoning By law; • the renovation and improvements comply with the City's grant program; and • the building improvement would total $2,800 with the City contributing one half of the $1,400 grant and the Region of Niagara contributing the other half. The funding is provided in the 2015 Operating Budget. BACKGROUND The subject building contains a Beauty Salon (Hair Lover's Place) on the main floor and a residential apartment on the upper floor. The Owner intends to address air leakage issues with the replacement of storefront windows with thermo units within the existing frames. The large front window is to be divided into two units (see Appendix 2, Window Replacement Sketch). ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The window replacement requested under this application is eligible under the Façade Improvement Program for the Downtown Area. Other than the tubing dividing the front store window into two parts, there will be no impact on the design of the commercial storefront. 2 PBD-2015-12 March 24, 2015 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The funding for this request will come from the Downtown CIP Special Purposes Reserve. This reserve has been established to provide funding for the City's expenses related to non-interest loans and for qualified grants. There are sufficient funds available for the subject application. If approved, the recommended grant, of which the City's portion would equal $700, will result in an unencumbered balance of $266,991. Property Taxes are up to date on this property. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The approval of the application will satisfy Council's strategic priority by implementing the financial incentive programs within the Downtown CIP and will assist in the ongoing revitalization of the area by assisting the property owner with storefront improvements.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2015-13 DOW-2015-002, Facade Improvement Grant 4411 Queen Street Owner: Mary Barranca RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Commercial Building Improvement Grant Applications for 4411 Queen Street (Mary Barranca) subject to the owner satisfying the program requirements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application can be supported because: • the existing use is in conformity with the City's Official Plan and Zoning By law; • the renovation and improvements comply with the City's grant program; and • the building improvement would total $6,845 with the City contributing one half of the $3,422.50 grant and the Region of Niagara contributing the other half. The funding is provided in the 2015 Operating Budget. BACKGROUND The subject building contains two commercial units: Hook me Up Clothing at what is identified as 4413 Queen Street and Freedom Riderzz Motorcycle Apparel at 4411 Queen Street (see Appendix 1 — Location map and Streetview). The Owner intends to replace and repair the store front window for the 4411 Queen Street unit to improve appearance and to eliminate window fogging from air leakage. The new windows would be located closer to the front property line, allowing sufficient space for the door opening within the property, and will be framed to match the existing windows at 4407 Queen Street (see Appendix 2, Window Replacement Sketch). ANALYSIS The window replacement requested under this application is eligible under the Façade Improvement Program for the Downtown Area. The redesigned windows are in accordance with the City's (draft) Urban Design Guidelines which recognizes that this 'push out' of the storefront 'increases window display and interior floor space without compromising the integrity of the original building' and can therefore be supported. 2 PBD-2015-13 March 24, 2015 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The funding for this request will come from the Downtown CIP Special Purposes Reserve. This reserve has been established to provide funding for the City's expenses related to non-interest loans and for qualified grants. There are sufficient funds available for the subject application. If approved, the recommended grant, of which the City's portion would equal $1,711.25 will result in an unencumbered balance of $265,280. Property Taxes are up to date on this property. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The approval of the application will satisfy Council's strategic priority by implementing the financial incentive programs within the Downtown CIP and will assist in the ongoing revitalization of the area by assisting the property owner with storefront improvements.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2015-02 Healthy Kids Community Challenge RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) developed a community program called the Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) to help communities address obesity among youth. The program will support communities at the local level with funding, training, guidance and social marketing tools to help promote healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices for children and youth. Niagara Region Public Health Department, Niagara's Mayors of the Niagara Region municipalities and cross regional community partners agreed to come together in a unified way to submit a multi-municipal funding application requesting $1.5 million dollars over 4 years. The newly formed Niagara HKCC Committee will be able to engage partners to help deliver local programs and activities that will support children and youth to be more active and healthy. Communities will receive resources from the province including dollars, training, guidance and social marketing tools to help promote healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices. The Business Education Council of Niagara (BEC) was selected as the Niagara HKCC Project Manager. The new Steering Committee for the Niagara HKCC Committee derived a budget value to finance an administration position through the BEC for the term of the program. The costing will reflect proportionate population sizes for each Niagara municipality. Niagara Falls' portion will amount to an annual cost of $4,000 for 4 years ($16,000 in total). BACKGROUND The Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) funding will support community-led programs, partners from different sectors (e.g., public health, education, recreation and local businesses) will work together to implement activities to promote healthy weights for children and youth. Under the leadership of municipalities, selected communities will receive funding and support from the MOHLTC and will be asked to implement local activities based on one specific theme related to healthy eating, physical activity and adequate sleep every 9 months. Themes selected will address the risk or 2 R&C-2015-02 March 24, 2015 protective factors that are known to lead to or prevent childhood overweight and obesity (e.g. eat a healthy breakfast). The Challenge combines a community-led approach with centralized provincial coordination to help communities develop and implement evidence-based policies, programs and environmental supports (e.g. posters promoting eating a healthy breakfast) that encourage healthy weights. At the community level, the Project Manager will be responsible for leading the partnership development, planning, implementation, and reporting for the selected community. This role is essential to the success of the HKCC. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Obese youth continues to be an issue across all communities. Obesity also threatens the sustainability of our health care system. In 2009, obesity cost Ontario $4.5 billion (Katzmarzyk PT. (2011). The economic costs associated with physical inactivity and obesity in Ontario, The Health and Fitness Journal of Canada, Vol. 4, No. 4.). About 30 per cent of our children and youth — almost one in every three children — are now an unhealthy weight. The problem is serious for everyone. To attest the importance of reversing the trend of being overweight and obesity among our youth, all Niagara municipalities have quickly recognized the value in combining efforts to initiate a movement towards promoting and educating the public through the HKCC. The HKCC is providing selected communities with funding, training and other resources over four years to implement community programs and activities. Local programs will focus on healthy eating, physical activity and appropriate sleep for children and youth. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The costing will reflect proportionate population sizes for each Niagara municipality. Niagara Falls' portion will amount to an annual cost of $4,000 for 4 years ($16,000 in total). One Recreation and Culture Staff will sit on the Steering Committee for the Niagara HKCC Committee and will also provide input to the program's Project Manager when needed. Monies contributed are to pay for a Project Manager (through the BEC). The main functions of the Project Manager include administration duties, planning and coordinating local assets and resources to carry out the work plan to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Niagara HKCC Committee, implementing launch events and forums, developing and implementing a communication plan, evaluating the impact of the HKCC program in Niagara. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Healthy Kids Community Challenge program is in line with the City's strategic priorities of its commitment of supporting a high quality of life and contributing to the well-being of residents and visitors by ensuring a healthy, safe and secure community. 3 R&C-2015-02 March 24, 2015 LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Attachment #1 — MOHTLC Healthy Kids Challenge website page Attachment #2 — BEC correspondence of breakdown of activity Attachment #3 — BEC letter to Mayor Jim Diodati Attachment #4 — Niagara HKCC Committee Terms of Reference Recommended by: Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Healthy Kids - Public Information - MOHLTC Page 1 of 2 Attachment 1 Ontario ro '-^Nrvr.orta; "r HEALTH AND LONG-TERM CARE • ./f.

There has been no new information from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) since the announcement of the 45 funded sites in mid-September however we are looking forward to an update soon. To summarize: • In the Niagara proposal, Public Health requested $1.5M in funding over 4 years.The funding level has not yet been confirmed. • The next step will involve receipt of the Transfer Payment Agreement which will indicate the funding amount and which will be signed by Niagara Region, as they will receive the funding. • Communication products in the form of a 'toolkit'are expected to follow shortly thereafter. • As the Niagara HKCC proposal needed to identify a Host Organization, a group of municipal partners developed a process to receive and rate submissions from area agencies for this role.The Business Education Council of Niagara (BEC)was selected as the successful Host Organization. • As the Host Organization requires a Project Manager, Renee Gaucher will be the project lead with Michelle Knapman and Zach Dadson taking on the project support.This will cumulatively account for one FTE for the initiative. • Each municipality has also committed staff time (0.05 -0.2 FTE) per year to assist the Project Manager in local program implementation. • In order to establish the governance model, the BEC hosted an initial meeting of the Niagara HKCC Steering Group with three municipal representatives (St Catharines, Niagara Falls and Fort Erie) and several community partners in late June 2014. The main purpose of this meeting was to develop a Terms of Reference for the group. The Steering Group has not met since but will resume meetings once further information from the MOHLTC is received. • Regional Chair Gary Burroughs received a letter from the MOHLTC on September 11, 2014 formally notifying as to Niagara's selection for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge • The BEC will be sending communication to Niagara mayors shortly in order to reconfirm municipal commitments, re-engage returning mayors and engage a number of new mayors. • On Nov 21, 2014, Russ Wilson (Fort Erie), Anne Louise Heron (Lincoln) and Ellen Wodchis(Niagara Region) provided a brief update on the HKCC to an area CAO meeting. The CAOs continue to be positive about the initiative. • The first HKCC theme was slated for announcement in Fall 2014.Once announced, a (Niagara) community needs assessment will be required. More information will follow as it is received from the MOHLTC. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Twelve Niagara municipal Mayors agreed to support this application. Ten of the 12 municipalities were represented by municipal staff at the meeting along with many community partners including school boards, Niagara Region Public Health,and several key community NGOs,not-for profit partners and community organizations. This memorandum serves to inform municipal councils, school boards, public health and community partners about the decisions made at the meeting by consensus through facilitated discussions. The agreed upon decisions outlined below help fulfill several of the HKCC application requirements and clearly reflect the expectations of the municipalities and their key community partners for the application process going forward. They are: Defined community: • Niagara's community of focus will be priority neighbourhoods that have the highest needs from across all municipalities as determined by health indicator data obtained by Niagara Region Public Health from community partners and statistical reports Host applicant: • The Regional Municipality of Niagara will submit an application on behalf of all Niagara municipalities that have agreed to participate. Memorandum of understanding: • A memorandum of understanding(MOU) between all municipalities, based on input from each of the municipalities will be signed by all municipalities to indicate their agreement to work together on the multi-municipal HKCC application 1 1Page • All municipalities, school boards, public health,and community partners that attended or were invited to the community meeting will be asked to submit a letter of support for the HKCC application Community Champions: • The Mayors of each municipality have been identified as the Niagara team of local Community Champions for the program • Mayors will be asked to agree to serve as their local HKCC Community Champion and a recent photograph of each of them from Niagara Region's Corporate Communications will be embedded into a group shot in a fun way to depict their support of the application.The final group shot will be sent out to them for approval. • If Niagara is one of the selected communities to receive HKCC funding and support, additional local community champions representing the HKCC themes of physical activity, healthy eating, and adequate sleep may be identified within each municipality to create a larger team of HKCC champions Project Manager(PM)host organization: • Niagara will identify a Niagara-wide PM only once we have received confirmation of being a selected HKCC community from the MOHLTC. However,we need to identify a host organization for the PM and a recruitment process. Four municipal staff volunteered to assist in the selection of a host organization using the following process: o Create criteria of key skills,abilities and competencies and for host organization selection c Send invitation to apply for host organization role to community meeting attendees and invitees o Volunteer committee will use criteria to score applications and select the one that best demonstrated the ability to meet the criteria • Note:Any conflicts of interest will be declared first and that applicant will not be assessed by any person with a conflict of interest. Applicants for the host organization cannot be part of the selection committee. Project Manager(PM)funding/community Investment: • Municipalities agreed to identify and secure community resources(funding dollars and staff resources that collectively,would add up to at least half the value of the Niagara PM wages for the portion of the time they dedicate to the HKCC • Investments secured will be a commitment of cash and in-kind. It was agreed that portion contributions by municipalities would be related to population size.Therefore,calculations were based on a sliding scale according to population. o Cash toward the Niagara PM will range from$500-$5500. o Each municipality will also be expected to contribute from 0.05 to 0.2 FTE to assist in delivering the HKCC in their municipality. Also,the FTE commitment would be over the course of the year, i.e.it would be completely flexible from week to week as fits the municipalities' needs. • Please note that dollars could come from private sector partners in the municipality,or NGOs and other community organizations Leveraging existing community resources and local businesses: • Municipal contacts agreed to submit a list of existing local resources that can be leveraged to support your local community's participation in the Challenge including: o Funding, in-kind-support, existing partnerships,and existing programs o Local and cross-regional community partners who are willing to collaborate and sign the application o Local businesses who are willing to collaborate and sign the application and subsequently,sign a partnership agreement Niagara Region The application process: • Applications are due by March 14,2014 • Niagara Region Public Health will continue to support Niagara's community grant application to the best of our ability with the support and cooperation of the municipalities and key community partners who have agreed to meet the expectations outlined above and the supporting actions resulting from the HKCC community meeting Tne HKCC background and guidelines document available at Ontario.ca/healthykids provides complete information about the application requirements and specific expectations from municipalities(page 5) as listed below: • Commit to the principles,approach and methodology of The Challenge • Appoint(a) local Project Manager(s) (or identify a recruitment process for the Project Manager role)to provide ongoing leadership in the development of community partnerships,plan and implement Theme- Based Action Plans and monitor and report on the outcomes.The responsibilities of the Project Manager can be divided among a number of different positions, but one person must be identified as the community contact. o Niagara will identify the host organization,and recruitment process that will occur for a Niagara- wide PM, if Niagara is selected • Identify and secure community investments of at least half the value of the local Project Manager's wages for the portion of the time they dedicate to The Challenge o This will be covered as noted in the asks of each municipality in terms of dollars and FTE • Identify a local community leader(e.g., Mayor,Councillor)to be the Community Champion of the program o Niagara will have all Mayors serve as local community champions,and will further identify champion(s) if selected • Establish and maintain a multi-sectoral community partnership to undertake action to address childhood overweight and obesity • Assess ongoing community needs and challenges{leverage information from relevant community reports e.g.existing community profiles,health status reports) • Identify existing community resources to leverage to support The Challenge and contribute to successful delivery • Undertake a Community Needs Assessment and prepare and implement Theme-Based Action Plans every nine months for each new provincial theme • Include in each Theme-Based Action Plan the policies(e.g. healthy breakfasts in school cafeterias), programs(e.g. before-school cooking club)and environmental supports(e.g. posters promoting eating a healthy breakfast)that support the provincial theme • Participate in local monitoring,data collection and regular reporting according to the methodology for measurement as developed by MOHLTC • Demonstrate how community activities will be sustained after the funding period concludes • Promote The Challenge within the community o Niagara's community will consist of priority areas across all municipalities 3 ( Page Niagara 1 Region BACKGROUNDER , _ Healthy Kids Community Challenge Funding Opportunity for Municipalities What: The Health Promotion Division of the Ministry of Health and Long- Term Care (MOHLTC) recently made a funding announcement about a community program called The Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) to help communities address the climbing rates of overweight and obesity in Ontario.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2015-08 ': Cambridge'Street— Intersection Control Reviews RECOMMENDATIONS That a stop sign is installed on the following intersection approaches: 1 . Facing westbound motorists on Cambridge Street at Wiltshire Boulevard; 2. Facing northbound motorists on Potter Heights at Cambridge Street; and, 3. Facing southbound motorists on McColl Drive at Cambridge Street. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Stop signs are warranted along Cambridge Street at the intersections of Wiltshire Boulevard, Potter Heights and McColl Drive. In each case drivers will be required to stop before entering the intersection. BACKGROUND City Staff has been requested to investigate the feasibility of installing stop signs along Cambridge Street at the intersections of Wiltshire Boulevard, Potter Heights and McColl Drive. Currently, there is a yield sign at each intersection. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Study results indicate that stop controls are warranted along Cambridge Street at the intersections of Wiltshire Boulevard, Potter Heights and McCoII Drive. The visibility triangle requirement for intersections with yield control is not met, thus warranting additional controls. This is common in developed residential areas with buildings and fencing normally constructed within the visibility clear zone. A collision review revealed that no collisions have been reported at this intersection in the previous three-year period. 2 TS-2015-08 March 24, 2015 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the stop signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2015 General Purposes Budget. Cost studies estimate that the cost to install the signs is approximately $300. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative is supported by Council's Strategic Priorities, which include ensuring that environmental, health, and social benefits direct transportation planning and design decisions related to walking, cycling, and public transit.

TS-2015-10 Niagaraalls March 24, 2015 (A\]L,\ REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services SUBJECT: TS-2015-10 Niagara College Summer Transit Service Extension RECOMMENDATION 1. That Niagara Falls Transit services are provided to Niagara College students residing within the City of Niagara Falls from May 1, 2015 through August 31, 2015 in return for twenty-five cents per ride, which will be paid by the Niagara College Student Administrative Council. 2. That the Mayor and Clerk are authorized to execute the necessary agreements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Niagara Falls Transit and the Niagara College Student Administrative Council initiated a Summer Service for the benefit of their students residing within our city in the Spring of 2009. The program has proven to be mutually beneficial to the parties and they have asked to extend their Agreement with the City to provide service for the Summer of 2015. As the students have smart stickers applied to their Student I.D. cards, every time they board the buses the trip would be captured when they tap their cards to the farebox. After Labour Day, the number of student trips is retrieved from our fare collection system and Niagara College Student Administrative Council is invoiced for the total number of trips at twenty-five cents per ride. This initiative will further provide an opportunity to promote our services to younger customers within our community in the hope they will continue to patronize the service beyond their post-secondary school years'. There will be no additional costs incurred by Transit staff as the students are riding on the Niagara Falls Transit services already in place. TS-2015-10 March 24, 2015 BACKGROUND Niagara Falls Transit has been providing a discounted summer fare service to Niagara College students residing in Niagara Falls throughout the months of May through August since 2009. New for the summer of 2015 will be the application of the smart sticker, which allows the city to capture every ride taken by these students. At the present time, Transit staff do not know how many trips this group will take, but at twenty-five cents per ride the revenue is estimated to exceed last summers' Niagara College payment of $15,000. Further, with the increased utilization of the Niagara College Campus on Dunn Street, this facility will generate a great number of rides as there are 4 Niagara Falls Transit routes travelling past or near this centre. In addition, many of the students residing in Niagara Falls will have to ride our municipal services to make connections with buses at Target Plaza to continue their trips to the Welland and NOTL Campuses and thus, additional revenues will be derived from these rides. The Niagara College Student Administrative Council purchases this service to allow their students who are registered for summer courses to utilize Niagara Falls Transit to access all three of their Campuses. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The provision of a reduced fare for the Niagara College students residing in Niagara Falls provides a revenue stream for the city while encouraging students to live, work, and enjoy our community. Further, it is hoped their acceptance of our municipal transit service will lead to further patronage of the service beyond their post-secondary education years'. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS This program will provide revenue and will not create any additional expenses. There are no staffing or legal implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The provision of the Niagara College Student Transit Service Extension supports the City's 2015 - 2018 Strategic Priorities, which includes a commitment to employing a safe, accessible, convenient, integrated, environmentally and fiscally responsible transportation system that provides a City that is truly accessible to locals and visitors.
