REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of Municipal Council
City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department
SUBJECT: TS-2015-23
Barker Street— Speed Control Review
RECOMMENDATION
That speed control measures are not warranted on Barker Street between Corwin
Avenue and Carlton Avenue and therefore no further action be taken.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At its June 23, 2015 meeting, City Council directed Staff to review the speed of
motorists on Barker Street between Corwin Avenue and Carlton Avenue. This was in
response to concerns that were brought up when a report for parking on this street
segment was discussed (report TS-2015-12). The recent study results indicated that
the operating speed along the subject and neighbouring sections of Barker Street are
below the 50 km/h legal speed limit.
BACKGROUND
In response to residents' concerns expressed at City Council meeting May 26, 2015,
and Councils direction, a review was undertaken to assess the speed of drivers on
Barker Street between Corwin Avenue and Carlton Avenue.
Barker Street between Carlton Avenue and Corwin Avenue is an urban local road with a
6.5 metre pavement width with a grass/gravel boulevards and a concrete sidewalk on
each side. Light standards are present on the north side providing illumination at night.
The legal speed limit of Barker Street is 50 km/h. Barker Street has a straight and level
alignment. The surrounding land use consists exclusively of single family residential
dwellings. All-way stop controls are present at the adjacent intersections of Barker
Street at Corwin Avenue and Barker Street at Carlton Avenue, which are 180 metres
apart.

TS-2015-23
September 29, 2015
Staff carried out various technical studies, including speed and volume studies, and a
collision history review. Speed data was collected through the use of an automated
traffic recorder which is able to record data continuously for the duration of one week.
Speed studies carried out during July and August 2015 on Barker Street identified that
the operating speed is 47 km/h between Corwin Avenue and Carlton Avenue. Given
the 50 km/h speed limit, a speeding problem was not observed. The results are
comparable with speed data collected on the neighbouring segments of Barker Street.
A collision review revealed that there is not a collision problem on Barker Street, nor the
two adjacent intersections for the previous three years. Vehicles were observed to be
legally parked on Barker Street in the study area, which may assist in reducing driver
speeds
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
Based on the technical study finding noted above, Transportation Staff is
recommending that speed control measures not be constructed on Barker Street at the
present time.
ADDITIONAL REPORT INFORMATION - PARKING
Parking is prohibited at all times on the south side of Barker Street between Carlton
Avenue and Corwin Avenue, and on the north side of Barker Street between Corwin
Avenue and a point 75 metres east of Corwin Avenue (encompassing 2 properties).Vir -`1

This restriction on the north side reduces parking by approximately 5 potential spaces.
For safety purposes, a minimum of a 20 metre corner restriction would be required.
Within a close proximity to the subject section of Barker Street, there are numerous on-
street parking spaces available, such as:
3
TS-2015-23
September 29, 2015
• Barker Street, west of Corwin Avenue — approximately 24 spaces;
• Barker Street, east of Carlton Avenue — approximately 24 spaces;
• Corwin Avenue, north and south of Barker Avenue — approximately 44 spaces; and
• Carlton Avenue, north of Barker Street— approximately 16 spaces.
Currently, the only neighbouring section of roadway with a parking restriction is Carlton
Avenue between Barker Street and Culp Street.
The following photo illustrates Barker Street and the remaining width of 3.6 metres that
would be available should parking be provided on both sides. A minimum width of 3.0
metres is required for the passage of one vehicle.

A parking restriction on at least one side of Barker Street between Carlton Avenue and
Corwin Avenue is required to ensure unobstructed through traffic. The 75m corner
restriction eliminates approximately 5 parking spaces, however there is adequate
parking on adjacent streets in the immediate area.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with Staff's recommendation.

Parking Review
RECOMMENDATION
That the "No Parking" zone on the north side of Barker Street between Corwin Avenue
and a point 75 metres east of Corwin Avenue is removed.
That the current parking restrictions remain, as is, and staff conduct a traffic
study related to the possible speeding
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The removal of the parking zone is supported by the majority of residents.
BACKGROUND
Several residents on Barker Street between Carlton Avenue and Corwin Avenue
requested Staff to review the removal of a recently established parking prohibited zone
on the north side of the street. The concern stems from a lack of on-street parking.
A parking review was previously carried out in April 2014. The request was initiated by
a resident who expressed concerns with parked vehicles restricting sight lines, motorists
experiencing difficulty exiting their driveways, and parked vehicles damaging the grass
boulevards. Although a consensus was not established for the entire road segment.
responses obtained from the two homeowners on the north side of Barker Street
immediately to the east of Corwin Avenue revealed a strong desire for a parking
restriction next to their homes.
Barker Street extends in an east/west direction between Carlton Avenue and Corwin
Avenue The road is 7 0 metres in width and consists of a grass boulevard and a
concrete sidewalk on each side. There are no curbs on either side of Barker Street
within this road segment. The area is residential. At the present time, parking is
restricted on the south side of Barker Street between Corwin Avenue and Carlton
Avenue, as well as on the north side between Corwin Avenue and a point 75 metres
east. There are approximately eight (8) parking spaces available on the street.

TS-2015-12
May 26, 2015
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
Questionnaires were distributed to the twelve (12) households in the study area
requesting the homeowner's input and comments on the removal of the parking
restriction on the north side of Barker Street which encompasses two properties —the
side yard of the corner property of a home on Corwin Avenue and the adjacent property
to the east on Barker Street. A response was received from eleven (11) residents.
representing a 92% response rate. Eight (8) residents. or 72% of the respondents,
identified that they prefer the parking restriction on the north side of Barker Street to
be
removed the remaining three (3) residents prefer that it be maintained. The response
rate identifies a clear desire for the removal of the 75-metre long parking restriction on
the north side of Barker Street. The removal of the signs will increase the on-street
parking capacity by another four (4) spaces to a total of twelve (12) parking spaces on
the north side of the street.
Additional comments were received from five (5) residents identifying that the existing
parking restriction along the entire south side of the road segment should also be
removed. thus allowing residents to be able to park in front of their own residence. The
number of responses is below what would be considered a consensus for the street.
This parking restriction predates Parking and Traffic Bylaw 89-2000.
Parking and Traffic Bylaw 89-2000 prohibits drivers from parking or stopping their
vehicle on a boulevard. The vehicle must be entirely on the asphalt surface. If
complaints are received that drivers are parking their vehicle on a boulevard, parking
control staff will be dispatched and vehicles found to be in contravention of the bylaw
will receive a parking infraction.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
The removal of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The
labour and material cost is accounted for in the 2015 General Purposes Budget. The
estimated cost to remove the signs is approximately $100.

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
SUBJECT: 2015-37
Monthly Tax Receivables Report — August
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 August 31 , 2015 were $17.1 million compared
to $18.4 million in 2014. During August, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed
decreased slightly from 37.0% in 2014 to 36.2% in 2015. The City's finance staff has
had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2015.
At this stage, 89.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid
in full. There are currently sixteen 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 improved slightly during the month of August. Table 1 shows
that taxes outstanding at August 31, 2015 are $17.1 million. This represents a slight
decrease from $18.4 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 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,
2015, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of
2
F-2015-37
September 29, 2015
these actions after eight months of activity. This table shows 89.2% of the tax accounts
or 347 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment
arrangements. During August, sixteen accounts were paid in full. In addition, the
number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments
increased from 85.1% (July) to 89.2% (August).
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 August, six registered properties were redeemed. The
outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.3% 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
August 31, 2015 is 36.2% which is a slight decrease from 2014's value of 37.0%. The
municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to
offset the higher measure.

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY: Fire Department
SUBJECT: FS-2015-08
Fire Department Purchase of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA)
RECOMMENDATION
1) That Council authorize staff to designate A.J. Stone supplying MSA as the preferred
proponent for the supply of SCBA equipment for the Niagara Falls Fire Department.
2) That staff negotiate with the preferred proponent, as per the Request for Proposal
(RFP), to conclude the terms of a contract for the replacement of the Niagara Falls
Fire Department SCBA at an upset limit of$450,000 in U.S. currency.
3) That Council approve amending the 2015 Capital Budget worksheet for an increase
to $600,000.
4) That, at the conclusion of negotiations, the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to
execute the agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current Niagara Falls Fire Department SCBA has outlasted its life expectancy. A
committee was formed which included Fire Department staff from various divisions
including career and volunteer firefighters, Training, Fire Prevention and in-house
technicians, to review all proposals submitted in response to the RFP. Through a four-
phase process, A.J. Stone supplying MSA was identified as the preferred proponent.
The cost of the required equipment is greater than what was budgeted. Two factors
contributed to the increased cost. Firstly, the equipment is made by suppliers in the United
States and the recent reduction in the Canadian dollar has had a significant impact.
Likewise, the individual cost of the equipment is higher than expected. The additional cost
can be funded from capital reserves.
The RFP document allows negotiation with the proponent which may result in further
efficiencies in the proposal. This will be a two-stage process replacing the SCBA on full
time apparatus in 2015 and the volunteer apparatus in 2016.
2
FS-2015-08
September 29, 2015
BACKGROUND
The current SCBAs have exceeded their life expectancy as they are three NFPA standards
old. Further, we are starting to experience difficulty in obtaining parts in order for our staff
to repair the units. As a result, Council approved the first of a two-year project in the 2015
Capital budget, with the remainder of the replacements scheduled for the 2016 Capital
budget.
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
The City of Niagara Falls called for proposals for new SCBA in the form of an RFP.
Proposals were received from four companies. The RFP called for a two-envelope system
which had a four-phase evaluation process. In order for a proposal to move from each
phase, they had to meet the minimum criteria of 70%.
Through the first three phases, the Committee considered the proposal submitted by A.J.
Stone supplying MSA equipment as the superior one. The evaluation committee reviewed
the submissions by all suppliers. The City's Manager of Supply and Services was involved
with the evaluation committee to ensure that the evaluation criteria and City policy were
complied with. The final process was to tabulate all four phases which indicated A.J.
Stone supplying MSA as the successful vendor.
The replacement of the SCBAs will ensure the firefighters are provided with a safe and
reliable mechanism for emergency operations.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
The costs acquiring the SCBA for the full-time firefighters were approved in the 2015
Capital Budget for $450,000. Since the suppliers of the required equipment are located in
the United States, the cost of the purchase has been impacted by the recent reduction in
the Canadian dollar. It is estimated that the purchase will cost approximately $600,000.
The difference between the purchase price and the approved budget can be funded with
capital reserves. There is an adequate amount in the capital reserves at this time.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
This purchase will provide for continued response capabilities for emergencies, reducing
municipal liability and providing for a safe and healthy community.

Snow Plowing & Salting/Sand and Snow Hauling of Municipal
Parking Lots Contract Award
RECOMMENDATION
That Total Land Care Services be awarded the snow plowing and salting/sanding
contract for the City of Niagara Falls for Areas 1, 2 and 3 as well as snow hauling as low
bidder for all areas for RFT-52-2015
That the City enter into agreements with the successful bidder for the plowing,
salting/sanding and snow hauling of municipal parking for a 3-year term, from 2015-
2018 in accordance with tender RFT52-2015.
That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary agreements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bids were requested by the City of Niagara Falls for the three-year tender of snow
plowing, salting/sanding and snow hauling for municipal lots. RFT52-2015 received five
bids from contractors. Total Land Care Services was the low bidder on all areas of the
tender.
Previously snow plowing tenders were issued separately from sanding tenders to
provide contractors more opportunity to be awarded a contract that would meet their
operational capabilities based on equipment and resources, however, due to issues with
the coordination of sanding and plowing and potential slip and fall claims against the
City of Niagara Falls the tenders have been merged into one tender to provide the best
possible service for the public.
BACKGROUND
Bids were requested by the City of Niagara Falls for the three year tender of snow
plowing, salting/sanding and snow hauling for municipal lots. RFT52-2015 received five
2

September 29, 2015
bids from contractors looking to perform this duty. Total Land Care Services was the
low bidder on all areas of the contract and have previously provided this service for the
City of Niagara Falls for Area 1 with great success.
Previously requested snow plowing tenders were issued separately from sanding
tenders to provide contractors more opportunity to be awarded a contract that would
meet their operational capabilities based on equipment and resources, however, due to
issues with the coordination of sanding and plowing and potential slip and fall claims
against the City of Niagara Falls the tenders have been merged into one tender to
provide the best possible service for the public. It was found that sanding was
inconsistent often showing up before the plowing contractors resulting in the material
being pushed into piles with the snow plowing procedure and requiring a second
application after the plow which lead to delays in sanding as well as expensive and time
consuming clean-up of sand material in the spring.
Companies had the opportunity to bid on individual areas or all depending on resources
and equipment available to them. Following is a list of the five bids submitted for the
tender opening of RFT52-2015 on August 20, 2015.

Crawford Street at Glenayr Avenue — Intersection Control Review
RECOMMENDATION
That a stop sign is installed facing northbound motorists on Glenayr Avenue at Crawford
Street.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A stop sign is warranted at the intersection of Crawford Street at Glenayr Avenue to
properly assign the right-of-way amongst motorists at this intersection.
BACKGROUND
City Staff has been requested to investigate the feasibility of installing a stop sign at the
intersection of Crawford Street at Glenayr Avenue. A concern was raised due to the
lack of traffic control at the intersection.
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
Study results indicate that a stop control is warranted facing northbound motorists on
Glenayr Avenue at Crawford Street. The visibility triangle requirement for an
uncontrolled intersection is not met, thus warranting additional traffic control. This is
common in developed residential areas when vegetation, fences and dwellings are
present within the visibility clear zone. A collision review revealed that no collisions
have been reported at this intersection in the previous three years. The installation of a
stop sign facing northbound motorists on Glenayr Avenue will ensure motorists on that
roadway stop and yield the right-of-way to motorists on Crawford Street.
2
TS-2015-25
September 29, 2015
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
The installation of the stop sign 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 sign is
approximately $100.
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.

Contract No. 2015-09
2015 Crack Sealing
RECOMMENDATION
1. The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder 788893 Ontario Limited operating as
Niagara Crack Sealing with authorization to spend up to the approved budgeted
amount.
2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract
documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The crack sealing contract consists of various local, collector and arterial streets and
other City facilities that require rehabilitation of longitudinal, diagonal or block cracks
caused through service time.
Budget for the Crack Sealing Contract was approved in the 2015 General Purposes
Budget under Paved Surface Maintenance.
Construction is proposed to begin no later than late September, 2015 and is expected to
take twenty (20) working days.
BACKGROUND
The intent of the crack sealing program is to provide regular repair of pavement cracks, as
failure to repair cracks in a timely fashion can lead to accelerated deterioration of the
pavement in the form of crack growth, spalls, secondary cracks and potholes.
ANALYSIS/RATIONALE
The project tender documents were picked-up by two (2) construction firms. Only one
(1) bid was submitted.
The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the Manager of Clerks Services, Bill
Matson, and the Acting Supervisor of Construction Services, Nick Golia, opened tenders
on Tuesday, September 8th, 2015.
September 29, 2015 - 2 - MW-2015-32
The following is a summary of the totalled tender prices (excluding HST) from the
contractor submissions:
Contractor City Tender Price Corrected Bid
Niagara Crack Sealing Port Colborne $ 67,900.00 N/A
The tender price received from Niagara Crack Sealing in the amount of $67,900.00.
Niagara Crack Sealing has successfully completed many projects of this scale for the City
of Niagara Falls and other municipalities; they are capable of undertaking and completing
this project.
This project is scheduled to commence as soon as possible and take an estimated twenty
(20) working days to complete.
A provision in contract was included for the option to continue the contract into 2016 and
2017 subject to budgetary approvals and provided both the City and Contractor agree.
The contractor will hold all unit prices for each year the contract is extended. Should
either party not wish to extend the contract, the contract will expire and a new contract will
be created and tendered.
FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
Funding for the Crack Sealing Contract was approved in the 2015 General Purposes
Budget under Paved Surface Maintenance in the amount of $75,000.
Crack Sealing will be completed up to the full budgeted amount utilizing the unit prices in
the contract.
There is sufficient funding available for the proposed tender award.

Implementation of this Capital Works project meets the intent of Council's Strategic
Priority to establish infrastructure sustainability.

The Niagara Falls Senior Minor Rookie Ball team sponsored by Niagara Orthopaedic Institiute had a very successful
competitive season in the Niagara District loop playing against the older and more experienced Major teams. In late
May, the team competed in their first tournament of the year in Cambridge and went undefeated in three round robin
games and winning the quarter finals before bowing out in the semi-finals.
In June the team competed in the Burlington Tournament and went undefeated in the round robin games and were
winning by a large margin in the semi-finals before rain forced the cancellation of the tournament.
In late July the team competed in the Brantford Tournament again going undefeated in the round robin games and
winning the semi-final game before losing a very close game in the finals to a very strong "AAA" team.
The season culminated with the Ontario Baseball Association "A" Championship Tournament held in Windsor on Labour
Day Weekend. The team got off to a slow offensive start in the first two games, but strong defence allowed them to
earn victories over Aurora and West London. The offence came alive with the team earning a victory over Halton
Hills. This led to a show down with arch rival Vaughn with the Falcons prevailing in a very close ball game. A subsequent
bye and a coin toss lead to a rematch with Vaughn, however the Falcons played a strong game and won the game
handily in five innings as a result of the mercy rule. The Falcons then met the home team Walker Homesites in the
Provincial Championship finals. The feisty home team put up a very strong fight however the offence and defence of the
Falcons was too much for the home team to overcome leading to a 15-6 victory for the Falcons and crowning them
Provincial "A" Champions.

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE
Prior to this past Monday's Senior Major Rookie ball championship game
versus the Clarington Orioles, the Niagara Falls Falcons had already learned that the
Falcons' minor mosquito team won their OBA championship. During the game, the
coaches received word the senior minor rookie ball team had won their OBA
championship less than 30 minutes away. It was now up to this gritty team to
complete the trifecta of sorts and, my goodness, they did not disappoint. With the
game scoreless through the first four innings the Falcons blew the game wide open
in the top of sixth scoring six runs and, consequently, defeating the Orioles by a
score of 8-0! Leading the charge in the game were Thomas Somerville who
recorded three hits and two RBI's as well as Brady Pearce and Jonah Cukierski who
each recorded two hits and one RBI.
The road to the championship for this already highly successful team was
anything but easy though. With a 6-4 loss in the opening round versus Sarnia, the
Falcons had to run the table and win six straight games in this 18-team mega-
tournament. And that is exactly what they did. In their only game on Saturday the
Falcons put forth a solid effort and beat Stouffville 9-4. The real challenge would
come on Sunday where, if they hoped to advance to Monday's semi-final and
championship rounds, the Falcons would have to win three straight games in 95
degree temperatures. And that is exactly what they did! None of those three
Saturday games, moreover, were even close as each game was ended in a mercy.
The Falcons disposed of Whitby 10-0, host Tecumseh 8-0 and, finally, Sarnia 19-7.
This was the same Sarnia team squeaked out a win in the opening round.
This brought the Falcons to a 9:00 a. m. semi-final showdown versus
Vaughan. Not an ideal time for the bats to go silent, the Falcons faced a 2-1 deficit
going into the bottom of the sixth. With key hits by Marcus Harrington, C. J. Bain and
Tanner Horth the Falcons scored three runs and entered the top of the seventh with
a 4-2 lead. That is how the game would end as the Falcons played, as they did
throughout the season, shutdown defense!
In looking back on this season there were a number of highlights. Winning
this OBA senior major rookie ball championship is paramount or the proverbial
icing on the cake; however there were several moments throughout the season were
the team's success was demonstrated. It needs to be stated that the coaching staff,
led by David Neal, never had lofty expectations for this team but that soon changed
with a third place finish in their June tournament in Hamilton. The team continued
to climb the mountain with back-to-back tournament wins in Brantford and Niagara
Falls. A few losses against Welland in league play in August put the Falcons in a
position where they knew they needed victories, especially in league playoffs,
heading into OBA championship weekend. They, like every time before, did not
disappoint and managed to turn the ship around very quickly. They went 3-0 in
round robin playoff action and won a deciding game three versus Welland 7-4,
winning the league championship.
From the top of the order to the bottom this Falcon's team was inspiring and
fun to watch. With timely hitting and absolutely stellar defense this team deserved
the numerous successes that they achieved over the course of the season. The
coaches, in their final address to the team, told the boys that seasons like this do not
happen that often if ever. Think about it: they are only nine-years old and have
already experienced a level of success not equaled or surpassed by most teams
across the region and province. We, as a community of baseball purists in Niagara
Falls, can only hope that this team will continue to be a force to reckoned with as
they transition into the mosquito division next year.
Lastly, it is just and right that we list the players and coaches of this
championship team. Players: Marcus Harrington(OF), Brady Pearce (3B), Jonah
Cukierski (SS), C. J. Bain (1B), Tanner Horth (2B), Lukas Cuthbert (OF), Sawyer Neal
(P), Thomas Somerville (OF), Nicholas Bonadie (OF), Nicholas Duquette (C), Johnny
"two-step" Gignac (OF) and Ethan Smith (OF). Coaches: Michael Bain, Jim Horth,
Jason Cukierski and, last but not least, David Neal.

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development
SUBJECT: PBD-2015-45
AM-2015-008, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Southwest Corner of McLeod Road and Kalar Road
Applicant: Giuliana Procopio
Proposal: Proposed Plaza
RECOMMENDATION
That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone the land to
General Commercial (GC) in order to permit a commercial plaza, subject to the provision
of a 3 metre wide landscaping strip after widening and daylighting triangle around the
perimeter of the property, and a holding (H) provision to ensure the completion of
archaeological studies to the satisfaction of the Province.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Giuliana Procopio has submitted an application to amend Zoning By-law No. 79-200 for
lands on the southwest corner of McLeod Road and Kalar Road. The applicant is
requesting the land be rezoned from Development Holding (DH) to General Commercial
(GC) to permit the development of a commercial plaza. The amendment is
recommended for the following reasons:
The proposed plaza complies with the Mixed Use designation of the land in the
Garner South Secondary Plan which is Part 5 of the City's Official Plan.
The plaza will be a compatible development at the corner of two arterial roads that
will provide commercial services for residents of the Garner South community.
Placing the land under a holding (H) provision until archeological studies are
completed to the satisfaction of the Region and the Province will ensure the
development proceeds in accordance with Provincial regulations.
BACKGROUND
Proposal
Giuliana Procopio has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for lands at the southwest
corner of McLeod Road and Kalar Road. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the 0.35 ha (0.9
ac) site. The applicant is proposing to develop a commercial plaza. Schedule 2 shows
details of the proposal.
2
PBD-2015-45
September 29, 2015
The lands are zoned Development Holding (DH) in accordance with Zoning By-law No.
79-200. The applicant is requesting the land be rezoned to General Commercial (GC) to
permit the proposed plaza.
Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses
The land is vacant and flat. The property to the south and west is similarly flat and
vacant and appears to have been used for crop farming. This land is designated for
residential purposes. Two small plazas exist to the north and west of the subject
property.
Circulation Comments
Information regarding the proposed Zoning By-law amendment was circulated to City
divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes
the comments received to date:
• Regional Municipality of Niagara
No objection to the rezoning from a Provincial or Regional perspective.
The site may have archaeological resources given its proximity to a
registered archaeological site. A hold zone is recommended until an
archaeological assessment has been completed to the satisfaction of the
Province and Region.
• Transportation Services
- No objections. At the site plan stage a 3 metre wide road widening along
the Kalar Road frontage of the property, and a 7 x 7 metre daylight triangle
at the corner of McLeod Road and Kalar Road, will need to be dedicated to
the City.
• Municipal Works
- No objections. At the site plan stage the applicant will be required to either
construct sidewalks along the street frontages or provide the City with the
funds to do so.
• Parks Design, Fire Services, Building Services
- No objections to the rezoning. Further review will be undertaken at the site
plan stage.
• Legal Services, Transit Services
- No objections.

PBD-2015-45
September 29, 2015
Neighbourhood Open House
A neighbourhood open house was held on August 24, 2015. The applicant and one
neighbouring resident were in attendance. The neighbour did not object to the proposed
use, but questioned if additional setbacks on his land would need to be provided from the
subject land if his land were developed for residential uses. The neighbour also noted
that the survey monuments between his property and the subject lands could not be
found. City staff noted that there would be no additional setbacks for dwellings that abut
a commercial use; however a wooden privacy fence would be required along the lot lines
as part of the commercial development to buffer future adjacent dwellings. The applicant
indicated that they would be able to mark property boundaries with stakes. This is
typically done prior to development.
ANALYSIS
1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan
The development is in keeping with the intent of the Provincial policies. Provincial
policies encourage the development of complete communities, containing a mix of
land uses and high quality urban spaces. As the site is located in a greenfield
area it is expected to contribute to the achievement of 53 jobs and persons per
hectare. The proposed development will contribute to a complete community by
providing commercial services that support the residents in the rapidly developing
Garner South community to the south. By providing appropriate landscaping
along the street and a building orientation that engages the street the proposed
development will also contribute to a high quality urban space. The commercial
employment will contribute to the employment densities required by Provincial
policy.
2. Official Plan
The land is designated Mixed Use in the Garner South Secondary Plan, Part 5 of
the City's Official Plan. Mixed Use lands are intended to be developed with stand-
alone commercial or residential buildings or in combination. The requested
amendment complies with the Official Plan as follows:
- The proposed plaza will provide commercial services for the surrounding
community and is appropriately located at the intersection of 2 arterial roads
for access and visibility.
- The design of the proposed plaza, providing a single row of parking along the
street frontages, buffered by a landscape strip, with additional parking and
loading at the back, complies with the design policies of the Garner South
Secondary Plan and will contribute to the streetscape.
4
PBD-2015-45
September 29, 2015
- The requested General Commercial zoning allows for mixed use buildings with
ground floor commercial uses and upper floor residential units. This zoning
provides the opportunity to develop a mixed use building in conformity with the
Garner South Secondary Plan.
3. Zoning By-law
The current DH zoning of the property limits the use of the lands to a use that
lawfully existed when the by-law was passed, a one family detached dwelling, a
home occupation and agricultural uses. The requested GC zone will permit the
proposed plaza and a range of commercial uses including retail stores,
restaurants, banks and personal service shops. The proposed plaza shown on
the site plan (Schedule 2) complies with the regulations of the GC zone.
To ensure a compatible streetscape is provided, abutting future residential uses
are buffered and land is provided for snow storage. It is recommended that the
amending by-law require 3 metre wide landscape strips, as shown on the site
plan, along all lot lines after road widening and daylighting triangle are dedicated.
Comments received from the Region report that the site is in proximity to a
registered archaeological site. It is recommended that the amending by-law
include a holding (H) provision requiring the completion of archaeological studies
to the satisfaction of the Province and Region prior to development taking place.
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
The application does not affect any of the City's strategic commitments.

REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati
and Members of Municipal Council
SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development
SUBJECT: PBD-2015-46
AM-2015-007, Zoning By-law Amendment Application
4750 Huron Street
Applicant: Drew Toth, 2451513 Ontario Inc. (Leap Properties)
Agent: Jennifer Vida, Upper Canada
Proposal: 3 Storey, 9 Unit Apartment Building
RECOMMENDATION
1. That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone the
lands to a site specific General Commercial (GC) zone to permit the construction of
a 3 storey, 9 unit apartment building as outlined in this report.
2. That the zone contain a holding (H) provision prohibiting development on the land
until the soil remediation process is completed and a Record of Site Condition is
filed with the Ministry of the Environment.
3. That the passage of the amending Zoning By-law be conditional on the execution
of a Section 37 agreement to ensure the housing provided by the project is
affordable.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2451513 Ontario Inc. has requested a Zoning By-law amendment to rezone the lands
known as 4750 Huron Street to a site specific General Commercial (GC) zone which
would permit the construction of a 3 storey, 9 unit apartment building. The amendment
can be supported because:
• it will assist the City in achieving intensification targets established by the Province
for the City's built-up area;
• it will make a more efficient use of urban land and existing infrastructure;
• the proposal to develop a 3 storey, 9 unit apartment building on the land is within
the intent and purpose of the City's Official Plan;
• the development will assist in providing additional and affordable housing choices
in the neighbourhood;
2
PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
• the apartment building is of the same height as apartment buildings already
existing in the neighbourhood and will be compatible with surrounding land uses;
and
• the project is transit supportive.
The proposed development lies within the Downtown Intensification Node identified in the
City's Official Plan, which allows a density of 50-100 units per hectare. The applicant is
proposing a density of 129 units per hectare. A Section 37 agreement should be used to
secure the provision of affordable housing in exchange for the higher density.
The amending by-law would include Holding (H) provisions prohibiting the development of
the land until the Soil Remediation Process is completed and a Record of Site Condition
is filed with the Ministry of Environment.
BACKGROUND
Proposal
The applicant has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for the 0.069 hectare (0.17
acre) parcel known as 4750 Huron Street. The amendment is requested to permit the
construction of the proposed 3 storey, 9 unit apartment building with reduced parking.
Schedules 2 and 3 show details of the proposal.
The land is currently zoned General Commercial (GC) in accordance with Zoning By-law
No. 79-200. The zoning of the land is requested to be changed to a site specific General
Commercial (GC) zone with site specific side and rear yards, lot coverage, landscaped
open space, storeys, number of dwelling units and parking requirements.
Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses
The property is currently vacant and was formerly being used as a parking lot.
A mixed use commercial and residential building is located to the south. A detached
dwelling is located to the north and east and a commercial building is located to the west.
Circulation Comments
Information regarding the proposed Zoning By-law amendment was circulated to City
divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes
the comments received to date:
• Regional Municipality of Niagara
No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. The proposal will
help the City achieve intensification targets for new development within the
City's built-up area and will provide additional housing choices in the
neighbourhood.
3
PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
The project will make a more efficient use of urban land and existing
infrastructure and provide a choice of housing in the area.
A Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment completed by the applicant has
concluded that the soil does not meet the site conditions standards and that
a Soil Remediation Program is required prior to the filing of a Record of Site
Condition (RSC). In accordance with O.Reg 153/04 and 511/09, a RSC
must be filed on the Ministry of Environment's Brownfields Environment Site
Registry prior to the establishment of a more sensitive use (i.e. commercial
to residential). As there is further environmental work to be completed
before a RSC can be filed, the Region recommends a Holding provision (H)
to ensure the fulfillment of a RSC requirement.
As the lands are located on a brownfield and are within a Downtown CIP
Area, the development will be eligible to receive an exemption of 75% of the
applicable Regional Development charges through the Development
Charges Reduction Program. The development is also eligible for a refund
of the remaining 25% under this program, if the site design complies with
Smart Growth Design Criteria.
• Transportation Services
- No objections to the rezoning and is supportive of the recommended 0.25
parking space per unit rate, conditional upon Gateway Niagara Residential
Community Support Services becoming the future owner of the property as
the Parking Demand Study is based on their operation. It is staff's
understanding that Gateway Niagara Residential Community Support
Services will acquire the ownership of the property once the construction of
the apartment building is completed. The site is serviced by weekday and
weekend transit service.
• Municipal Works and Parks Design
- No objections to the rezoning. A servicing/grading plan, detailing how
stormwater will be dealt with and a landscape plan will be required at the
site plan stage.
• Fire Services, Legal Services, Niagara Falls Transit, Building Services
No objections to the rezoning.
Neighbourhood Open House
A neighbourhood open house was held on August 13, 2015. No area property owners
attended the open house. One letter of objection was received for the proposed
development. The objection letter expresses concern regarding the reduction in parking
rate. A letter of support has also been received.

PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
ANALYSIS
1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan
Provincial policies require 40% of all residential development to occur through
intensification within the City's built-up area by the year 2015. To meet this target,
further development of multiple unit housing within established areas of the City is
necessary. Approval of the requested zoning will assist the City in meeting its
intensification targets and make more efficient use of urban land and existing
infrastructure.
2. Official Plan
The subject property is designated Minor Commercial in the City's Official Plan and
located within the Downtown Intensification Node. The Official Plan allows
commercially designated lands which are in excess of demand to be used for
residential intensification. New housing units (intensification) are to be designed to
blend into the existing lot fabric, streetscape and built form of a neighbourhood. A
harmonious mix of housing is encouraged so that at any one time a variety of
housing types will be available. Apartment buildings up to 4 storeys in height and
50-100 units per hectare shall be permitted, as this respects the existing built form
and allows for a degree of intensification. The proposed development shall be
designed with a street presence that is in character with the surrounding
neighbourhood.
The proposed development complies with the Official Plan as follows:
- The development makes use of an underutilized parcel of land and will
broaden the range and supply of housing in the neighbourhood.
- The building is 3 storeys in height which is in keeping with the height regime
for Downtown. However, the 9 dwelling units provide a density of 129 units
per hectare which is above the recommended 50-100 units per hectare. As
the proposal exceeds the density range stipulated in the Official Plan,
Council could require the applicant enter into a bonusing agreement under
Section 37 of the Planning Act in exchange for facilities, services or matters
if the development proposal is consistent with the objectives of the Plan.
The Official Plan specifically promotes affordable housing developments
and encourages the City's participation in government programs. Affordable
is defined in the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 as "a unit for which the
rent does not exceed 30% of gross annual household income for low and
moderate income households" or "a unit for which the rent is at or below the
average market rent of a unit in the regional market area". The proposed
development has received a commitment from Niagara Regional Housing to
construct the 9 apartment units. This program is aimed at low income
households. Further, given the location of the development within the CIP
area which is targeted for revitalization and redevelopment and where a
5
PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
project can qualify for grants from the City and other levels of government, a
bonusing contribution is not recommended. The applicant should however
enter into a Section 37 agreement to ensure that the proposed apartment is
used for affordable housing.
The project is designed to maintain the current streetscape character.
3. Zoning By-law
The current zoning of the property is General Commercial (GC) which does not
permit an apartment building. The zoning of the lands is requested to be changed
to General Commercial (GC) with site specific regulations to accommodate the
proposed apartment dwelling.
The following chart compares the current standards of the GC zone with the
proposed regulations:
Standards Proposed
Minimum Lot Area None 0.069 hectares
Minimum Lot Frontage 6 m 15.24 m
Maximum Number of N/A 9
Units
Minimum Interior Side 3 m 1.2 m on east and 6.24m
Yard Setback on west
Minimum Rear Yard 10 m 22.04 m
Setback
Maximum Lot Coverage 70% 23%
Maximum Building Height 12 m 3 storeys and 10.5 m
Minimum Landscaped None 27%
Open Space
Minimum Parking 12.6 4
The current GC zoning of the subject lands would permit the development of a
commercial or a mixed use building up to 4 storeys in height and as close as 10
metres to the rear lot line and 3 metres to side lot lines. The General Commercial
zone does not permit an apartment building. The applicant is proposing to include
an apartment building as a permitted use. The requested site specific regulations
are supportable as the proposed standards would establish building setbacks
significantly larger than those currently permitted.
The proposed reduced sideyard setback of 1.2 metres along the easterly
property line can be supported as a 1.8 metre close board fence will be
provided to screen the abutting residential dwelling.
The greater setback of 6.24 metres along the westerly lot line will
accommodate the driveway.
6
PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
The rear yard setback of 22.04 metres provides an opportunity for a greater
amenity area for the residents.
The proposed lot coverage is significantly less than the current standards.
The reduced parking standard can be supported. Staff reviewed the parking
allocation for two other sites operated by Gateway Niagara Residential
Community Support Services in St. Catharines and Welland. The St.
Catharines' site has 9 units similar to the proposed development and none
of the occupants own a vehicle. The Welland site has 31 units, and only 3
occupants own a vehicle.
4. Section 37 Agreement
Section 37 Agreements are permitted under the Planning Act to secure facilities,
services or matters, in return for increased height and density. The recommended
density in the Downtown Intensification Node area is 50-100 units per hectare.
The proposed residential development with 9 units will provide a density of 129
units. The applicant should enter into a Section 37 agreement to ensure that the
proposed apartment is used for affordable housing as the contribution being made
is for the provision of affordable housing.
5. Site Plan Control/Condominium Approval
Prior to obtaining a Building Permit, the developer will be required to obtain site
plan approval. The following issues will be addressed through the site plan
process.
- The submission of a stormwater management plan to demonstrate
surrounding properties will not be adversely impacted by storm drainage.
- The submission of lighting details to ensure that floodlighting does not
project onto surrounding properties.
- The submission of a tree preservation/landscape plan. This plan would
detail the planting of species which will adequately buffer surrounding
properties.
Details of the waste disposal enclosure.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The proposed development is eligible for the City's Brownfield Environment Grant
Program. The proposal is also eligible for the Regional Development Charge Reduction
Program.
7
PBD-2015-46
September 29, 2015
CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT
The proposal is supported by the Well Planned City strategic priority in that it provides for
infill development that occurs in an orderly and efficient manner to take advantage of
existing infrastructure.

To Whom it May Concern:
Re: Construction at 4750 Huron St., Niagara Falls
I am in receipt of a letter dated July 30, 2015, from your department regarding the
construction of a 3 storey, 9 unit apartment building at 4750 E-Iuron St.
Unfortunately, I am out of town this week and won't be available to attend the open
house, therefore, I am writing this letter.
I am currently the owner of the 12 unit apartment building located at 4753 Buckley
Ave. and am opposing the change of zoning bylaw they have applied for.
When I applied to the city of Niagara Falls to renovate and add a bachelor apartment in
my building, I was informed that I needed to provide a parking space for each of the
apartments.
If this new building does not have 9 parking spaces for the 9 apartments, I am sure
people will unlawfully use any open parking spaces in my private lot.
There should be provisions onsite for at least 9 parking spaces if there are going to be
9 apartments in the new building.
If there are any questions or concerns regarding this opposition, please do not hesitate
to contact myself.
Yours truly,
/

Re: Dysautonomia Awareness Month
Proclamation Request
To Whom It May Concern.
I am seeking your assistance in raising awareness of an important public health matter.
October is "Dysautonomia Awareness Month" around the world. We're asking the City of
Toronto to help us raise awareness by issuing a Proclamation declaring October to be
Dysautonomia Awareness Month in Niagara Falls. At this moment, we have planned that
Niagara Falls is lighting up in our colour, turquoise, on October 1St, 2015.
Dysautonomia (pronounced "dis —oughta—know' — me — uh") is an umbrella term used
to describe several different neurological conditions caused by a malfunction of the
autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls all of the
involuntary bodily functions that we normally take for granted — regulation of our blood
pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, digestion, kidney function, temperature control,
pupil constriction and dilation, etc. When the autonomic nerves are damaged. it can
cause very serious problems in one or more of these systems.
This year, I was diagnosed with a form of dysautonomia known as Postural Orthostatic
Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). At 22, I never though I would have to leave school and
work because of something so debilitating; my life was flipped upside-down. I was
suffering to the point I was suicidal. No doctor was taking me seriously and I did not
know what to do. It took me months of being practically bedridden, and years of
progressive symptoms to become diagnosed. While many people have never heard of it.
POTS is not rare. Mayo Clinic researchers estimate that POTS impacts 1 out of 100
teens, and a total of 1-3 million Americans including adult onset patients, and millions
more around the globe, making POTS more common than well-known conditions like
multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. The majority of people living with POTS are
young women between ages 12 and 40, although older adults and males can be impacted
too. POTS symptoms include tachycardia upon standing, blood pooling in the
extremities, blood pressure dysregulation, fainting, dilated pupils which cause a
sensitivity to light and frequent migraines, chest pains, shortness of breath,
gastrointestinal motility problems. peripheral neuropathy. and many other symptoms.
Autonomic disorders cause so many symptoms, because the autonomic nervous system
controls so many different bodily functions. Experts compare the disability seen in POTS
to what is seen in COPD and congestive heart failure. 25% of people living with POTS
cannot work or attend school, resulting in a substantial economic and social impact to
families and our country as a whole.
Raising awareness about dysautonomia will help other patients get diagnosed in a more
timely manner, as many dysautonomia patients suffer undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for
many years due to a lack of public and physician awareness about dysautonomia. With
your help, we can change that in Niagara!
I have attached a sample proclamation and some information about dysautonomia for
your consideration. The proclamation was drafted by Dysautonomia International, a
501(c)(3) non-profit that is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals living with
dysautonomia through research, education. advocacy and awareness. If you are
interested, you can learn more about POTS and other forms of dysautonomia on their
website, www.dysautonomiainternational.org.
Please let me know if your office is able to help us raise awareness of dysautonomia by
issuing the attached proclamation declaring October to be Dysautonomia Awareness
Month in Smithfield County. Ideally, we would like to obtain the proclamation in early
October so that we can obtain some press coverage about Dysautonomia Awareness
Month after the proclamation is issued.
If there is any other information you need, or if you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me.

This is Consul Mu Jianfeng writing from Chinese Consulate General in Toronto. Hope this email finds you well.
Today I am writing to raise a kind request from the Consulate General on the China National Flag Raising
Ceremony we hope could be held in Niagara Falls.
October 1 is the birthday and national day of the People's Republic of China. This year will be the 66th
anniversary of the founding the People's Republic of China.ln the past, we once held China Flag Raising
Ceremony in other cities such as Toronto, to celebrate the national day of China and friendship between China

I am writing to you as a representative of Canadian Doctors for Medicare (CDM) and Dr.
Danyaal Raza. You may be aware that CDM is currently engaged in policy and
advocacy work on universal public coverage of prescription medications, also known as
pharmacare. Along with allies across the country, CDM is continuously working towards
making national pharmacare an election issue. We would like to request a meeting with
you to discuss possible opportunities for collaboration.
Drug access in Canada has become increasingly difficult for doctors and patients as
Canadians rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for their medicines. This
patchwork system is expensive and has left many Canadians with little or no coverage.
Currently, 3 million Canadians do not fill their prescriptions because they cannot afford
their medications.
Canada is the only developed country in the world with a universal public health care
system that does not include coverage of prescription medications. We pay the second
highest cost for medications in the world after the United States. A recent study in the
Canadian Medical Association Journal has shown that a universal public drug plan is
economically feasible and taxpayers could save $7.3 billion per year.
We believe that municipal governments have a critical role to play in the fight for
national pharmacare. Local governments currently spend as much as $500 million per
year of municipal budgets on private insurance coverage for their employees Cities
could upload their prescription drug costs to provincial and federal governments and
considerable savings could be realized.
Mobilizing support from municipalities is an important way to demonstrate the
groundswell of support for pharmacare that is growing from coast to coast. Pro-
pharmacare motions have been passed in many cities across the country including
Vancouver, B.C., Burnaby, B.C., Nelson, B.C., Hamilton, ON., Cambridge, ON.,
Marathon, ON., Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association, Inverness County, N.S.,
and Victoria County, N.S. We believe that this articulation of support for pharmacare will
help demonstrate to federal parties the support and need for publicly administered,
national drug coverage.
CDM has developed a kit to assist supporters in preparing and presenting municipal
resolutions. The package can be accessed on the CDM website (please see below).
http:iiwww.canadiandoctorsformedicare.ca/Commentary/get-your-municipality-to-pass-
a-pro-pharmacare-motion.html
We hope that you will join us in this nationwide push to improve our health care system
by presenting a motion to your municipal council. Together, we can build a health care
system that is more accessible, equitable, and sustainable. If you do decide to pass a
pro-pharmacare motion, could you kindly let us know as we need to update our list of
supporters.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Presentation to [insert city] Municipal Council
Re: Resolution Regarding Call for National Pharmacare Strategy
Introduction:
Universal health coverage is first and foremost about providing appropriate care to patients
on the basis of need, not ability to pay. Currently, Canada's system assures medical and
hospital care but not medication coverage.
Every other developed country with a universal health care system also has universal
coverage of prescription drugs. Those countries include the United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. It does NOT include Canada.
The push for a national pharmacare program dates back to 1964, when it was
recommended by the Royal Commission on Health Services. It has been recommended by
almost every national study and Royal commission since then including the more recent
Romanow commission.
The argument against a National Pharmacare plan has always been the cost. This past
week, in an article in the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) a well researched
economic model was published (see copy attached) which looked at best case, worst case
and "most likely" case scenarios for the cost of a National Pharmacare plan. Of note,
the estimates in this paper likely underestimate the cost savings as they do not take into
account the decrease in other health care service utilization that would result if people are
better able to care for their illnesses.
What are the numbers:
Patients who cannot afford their medications: 1 in 10 (or 3 million Canadians)
Costs of medication would be estimated to decrease by 3Q% overall because of the impact
of greater purchasing power.
A National Pharmacare plan could reduce total spending on prescription drugs by Canadians
of 7.3 billion dollars.
What is our experience locally:
ADAPT POINT TO FIT LOCAL CONTEXT
Example of local context: As a doctor here in [CITY] I and many of my colleagues are
seeing more and more patients — either underemployed, unemployed or employed in low
wage or contract jobs without benefits who have not been able to continue their prescribed
medications because of an inability to afford them For many, the choices have been
choices like: pay the rent or buy the medications; pay for hydro or pay for medications, pay
for food or pay for medications. They have not been able to do both,
And the medications people cannot afford are necessary for long term health. People in
our community have stopped tneir insulin and stopped checking their sugar, stopped their
blood pressure and heart medications, and stopped their asthma or COPD puffers to name
a few of the necessary medications. They have been unable to fully participate in their 0011
lives because they feel too unwell to do so, and some have had to be admitted to hospital
for urgent symptom and disease management.
The issue from a municipal standpoint:
Municipal government costs are mostly staff costs, and drug benefit plans are a big part of
that cost. Pharmacare would take an enormous cost off the municipal tax base and enable
our community to commit those funds to the services we need most.
ADAPT TO SUIT LOCAL CONTEXT
Example of local context: The Community of Marathon relies on the lumber and mining
industries and on precarious workers in retail. Lumber and mining gains considerable from
Pharmacare as their costs are reduced. In the tough international lumber and minerals
markets those cost savings translate into a competitive advantage that really matters.
Retail workers benefit from reliable drug plans rather than the slim or non-existent plans
precarious work provides.
What would a National Pharmacare plan cost?
The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) study attached shows that, in a best-case
scenario, universal public drug coverage would actually save money for Canadians. The most
realistic outcome — the base-case scenario — would see an annual cost to taxpayers of $i
billion, before your count in the over Si billion in tax subsidies to private plans that would
become unnecessary.
The study also shows an $8 billion saving for businesses, which would no longer need
to purchase expensive private drug plans. The study did not take into account additional
savings to the health system that would be achieved when those who cannot afford to fill
prescriptions start taking medications. Nor did it take into account savings that would be
derived through the more appropriate prescribing that a national system would be expected
to promote. So the savings to government would be even higher.
A pharmacare program would also support private-sector business, according to the study.
In a most likely scenario, the private sector would see annual savings of $8.2 billion. This
savings can make small business, and large ones, like mining and forestry more competitive
on an international scale and may support provincial and local economic development.
Summary:
The moral imperative for a National Pharmacare plan has always been clear. The most
recent study in the CMAJ helps to address what has been seen as the most significant
barrier to a National Pharmacare plan — the cost.
We are calling on the [INSERT NAME OF CITY] to add its voice to the call for a National
Pharmacare plan that would serve the community by supporting local citizens to optimize
their health.
Resolution attached.
Draft resolution
•
Resolution Regarding National Pharmacare Strategy
Presented to the [insert name of city] Municipal Council
[insert date]
[insert name of presented]
"Whereas [insert city] has recognized and has demonstrated over the past years, its
commitment to the importance of healthy citizens as the foundation of a healthy, engaged
and economically vibrant community; and
Whereas over 3 million Canadians, including many in our local communities, don't take
medicines prescribed by their doctors because they can't afford them; and,
Whereas Canada is currently the ONLY country with a national medicare program that does
not have a national pharmacare program; and,
Whereas the risk of having no insurance for medicines is high among lower income
Canadians which includes the service industry, precarious working and seasonal workers,
like many in [insert name of City]; and,
Whereas studies show that adding a national pharmacare program to our national health
care system would lower costs to businesses by over $8 billion per years, providing
Canadian companies competitive advantages in international trade; and
Whereas recent research confirms that these gains can be achieved with little or no increase
in public investment;
Whereas municipal government expenses for employee benefits would be significantly
reduced by a national pharmacare program; and,
Whereas a national prescription drug formulary would suJport better quality prescribing,
including reducing dangerous and inappropriate prescribing to Canadian seniors;
Whereas a National Pharmacare plan is sound policy, both economically and socially."
"[insert city] express its support for the creation of a National Pharmacare program as an
extension of Canadian Medicare, since health and economic studies now show that such as
policy vvould improve health in municipalities, give local businesses a competitive advantage
in the global marketplace and lower costs for municipal government on taxpayers; and,
[insert city] call on the [insert name of provincial association] to urge the Province of
[insert name of province] to work with other Provinces and the Federal Government to
develop and implement a National Pharmacare program; and,
That the [insert name of city] and [insert name of provincial association] also urge the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities to adopt a similar resolution respecting the Federal
government; and,
That the [insert name of city] convey the decision of Council on this resolution to the local
MPP, The [insert name of province] Minister of Health, the Premier of [insert name of
Province], the Federal Minister of Health and the Prime Minister."

BROCK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' UNION, INC.
Hereinafter referred as to "BUSU"
OF THE SECOND PART.
WHEREAS BUSU has requested that the City provide ridership privileges on all regular Niagara
Falls Transit routes to its students attending Brock University at a reduced rate;
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the mutual
covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

with providing this service from Niagara Falls to the Brock Campus during the school
year, there will be a U Pass Levy charged for each trip (not including transfers) the
students take on Niagara Falls Transit. This U Pass Levy will be calculated by
multiplying all the trips the Brock University students take within Niagara Falls from
September 2015 through April 2016 by a thirty-five cent per ride fare. This amount will
be invoiced to the Brock University Students' Union in May, 2016 for payment.
3.4 All arrears of fees shall bear interest from their respective due dates until the actual
dates of payment at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or eighteen

5. Student Identification and Brock University Photo Identification Card

with the school year validity period of the card identified via a sticker. Thus, the validity
period associated with this agreement shall be September, 2015 to April, 2016.

responsible for Service disruptions due to weather, traffic accidents, traffic congestion,
detours, road closures, mechanical breakdowns, or other unforeseen circumstances.

exceeding four consecutive days, the City shall reimburse BUSU on the basis of a daily
rate calculated by dividing the fee payable for the Fall and Winter Semesters of the
School Year by the total amount of operating days during the Fall and Winter Semesters
of the School Year and multiplying same by the amount of days without Service. The
reimbursement will be paid by the City to BUSU within 30 days of the resumption of the
Service.
In the event of a sustained period of closure or significant interruption of the business of
Brock University for at least 14 consecutive days, as a result of strike, lockout, disaster,
attack, etc., during which the Service in whole or in part is not required, BUSU may
request a reduction in the Service from the City and the parties hereto agree to negotiate
any reimbursement to BUSU from the City as a result of the actual reduction of Service.

Schedule 'B'
Fuel Escalation Clause
Qualifications to Request Additional Funding
Pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Agreement, in order to request additional funding, diesel
fuel prices must have been at a level in which the Average Fuel Price per litre (A) is
greater than the Base Price per litre (B) in the School Year referenced by this Agreement.
The Base Price per litre shall be mutually agreed upon in September 2015 to be the diesel
fuel price per litre plus ten (10) percent for the given school year. The Average Fuel
Price shall be calculated by taking the sum of each month's average diesel price per litre
(September through April inclusive in the year represented by this Agreement) then
dividing by eight.
Qualification Formula
If A>B = Qualification Formula is true and Request for Additional Funding is applicable.
The Fuel Surcharge amount Niagara Falls Transit can request shall be calculated by
taking the volume (V) of diesel purchased in the School Year, multiplied by the
difference from the Average Fuel Price per litre and the Base Price. Thus, the following
formula would apply;
Fuel Surcharge =V (litres) x (A - B)
Eg. Approximate Volume (V) litres of Diesel= 20,000 per School Year
If the Average (A) for the School Year is $1.36/litre
If the Base (B) in September is $1.20/litre plus ten percent= $1.32/litre
The Fuel Surcharge Request to BUSU would become;
Fuel Surcharge = 20,000 X ($1.36 - $1.32)
Fuel Surcharge = $800.00

Average Rate for the School Year $1.36/liter
Base Rate
$1.32/Iiter20,000 x ($1.36 - $1.32) = $800 (Fuel Surcharge Fee)
