Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW -2016-10 LED Street Light Retrofit Post Project Update MW -2016-10 May 10, 2016 RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council receive this report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2014 the City was approved for approximately $1 million in incentives through Ontario Power Authority's SaveONenergy program to replace existing street Tight fixtures with new energy efficient Light -Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption. The actual incentive received was to be adjusted to reflect the number and type of LED fixtures installed before the end of 2015. To aid City staff with the challenging timeline, Council approved the retention of RealTerm Energy (RTE). The Association for Municipalities in Ontario (AMO), through their not-for-profit subsidiary Local Authority Services (LAS), partnered with RealTerm Energy (RTE) to offer assistance to municipalities undergoing challenging LED street light retrofit projects. RTE completed a City wide audit of all cobra -head style street lights included in the retrofit program. Post audit results estimated a gross project cost of approximately $3.65 million and an estimated incentive payout of approximately $0.8 million, as well as an energy reduction of 2.5 million kWh annually, which is a 57% reduction in energy consumption. RTE engaged a local contractor, Ground Aerial Maintenance Services (GAMS), to complete the installations. GAMS staff faced many installation challenges including delayed and sporadic delivery of fixtures resulting in a decreased installation period. In response to the reduced timeline, GAMS increased their work force with local labour. GAMS installed 8,370 new LED fixtures by December 31, 2015, allowing the City to maximize incentive savings. The final gross project cost was $3,519,108 and the confirmed total incentive is $890,831 (excluding HST); for a net project cost of $2,628,277. The final incentive payout, including HST, will total $1,006,639.03. The project is expected to have a return period of approximately four (4) years through anticipated operational savings and efficiencies. The incentive funding provided over 25% of the total cost of replacement. 2 BACKGROUND MW -2016-10 May 10, 2016 In 2014, City staff, through the City's local energy provider Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI), submitted an application to Ontario Power Authority's SaveONenergy program. The program encouraged the replacement of existing street light fixtures with new energy efficient alternatives such as Light -Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption. The City was approved for approximately one million dollars through two (2) incentives provided that all qualified street lights were purchased and installed in 2015. The Association for Municipalities in Ontario (AMO), through their not-for-profit subsidiary Local Authority Services (LAS), partnered with RealTerm Energy (RTE) to offer assistance to municipalities undergoing challenging LED street light retrofit projects. In 2015, Council approved the retention of RTE to complete the retrofit project in the City of Niagara Falls within the 2015 timeframe, maximizing the amount of incentive available to the City. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In the first phase of the retrofit project, RTE completed a City wide audit of all cobra -head style street lights included in the retrofit program. Post audit results estimated the total eligible street lights at 8,394 with a gross project cost of approximately $3.65 million and an estimated incentive payout of approximately $0.8 million. Post installation, the audit indicated that the new LED street lights would result in an energy reduction of 2.5 million kWh annually, which is a 57% decrease in consumption and an approximate annual cost savings of $300,000. The anticipated reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions exceeds the objectives and expectations defined in the City's Energy Management Plan (EMP). The audit results were utilised to prepare full photometric designs for all City streets and intersections. Wherever possible, RTE designers attempted to achieve the standards as defined in the Roadway Lighting Standards (IES RP -8-14) guidelines. Wherever this standard was not achievable, a level of service was provided that was equal to or better than the current condition. In the second phase of the project, the Niagara Falls company Ground Aerial Maintenance Services (GAMS) was retained as a sub -contractor to RTE to complete the installation of the new LED fixtures. GAMS coordinated their operation out of the City's former Transit Facility; warehousing the new fixtures for efficient distribution while creating an onsite recycling centre for the old fixtures. GAMS staff faced many installation challenges including delayed and sporadic delivery of fixtures resulting in a decreased installation period. In response to the reduced timeline, GAMS retained a local, dedicated project manager and additional, local tradespersons to supplement their existing work force. At peak production GAMS was installing over $1,000 fixtures per week. 3 MW -2016-10 May 10, 2016 The retrofit project took over 7,865 man hours to complete and included the installation of 8,370 new LED fixtures. GAMS completed all installations by December 31, 2015, thus allowing the City to maximize incentive savings. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Through the two (2) street Tight incentives approved in 2014, the City will receive $863,905 and $26,926, for a total incentive of $890,831.00 (excluding HST). The final incentive payout, including HST, will total $1,006,639.03. The final street light retrofit project costs (excluding HST) have been summarized below: Gross Project Cost $ 3,519,108 Total Incentive $ 890,831 Net Project Cost $ 2,628,277 The net project cost, post incentive is $2.63 million. The project is expected to have a return period of approximately four (4) years through anticipated operational savings and efficiencies. The incentive funding provided over 25% of the total cost of replacement. The new LED fixtures have a one (1) year labour and a ten (10) year material manufacturer's warranty. The typical life expectancy of the fixtures is greater than twenty (20) years. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project met the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities to establish sustainable infrastructure, to promote economic growth and prosperity within the City, and to provide financial stability. This project also complies with the City's Energy Management Plan reduction targets.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council Fire Department FS -2016-04 Emergency Radio System for Fire FS -2016-04 May 10, 2016 RECOMMENDATION That the option of integrating with the Niagara Regional Police Services radio system be endorsed by Council and the Capital funding of $875,000 plus taxes be referred to the 2017 Capital Budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Motorola is the current Niagara Falls Fire Department (NFFD) radio system provider. We have received notice from Motorola that critical components of the radio system will no longer be supported from the manufacturer and replacement parts will no longer be guaranteed. It is therefore prudent that we look at options to secure a robust and reliable solution to this situation. A number of options were considered and the preferred solution utilizes the Niagara Regional Police radio system infrastructure with a proposed migration in 2017. BACKGROUND The Niagara Falls Fire Department operates using a two-way radio system to communicate during emergency and non -emergency operations. It is the backbone of information transfer on emergency scenes and the fire department cannot operate without this critical tool. The engineer and designer of our current system is Mr. Dan Perlstein, P.Eng. He has also been engaged by the St. Catharines Fire Services to identify migration options for their radio system and also designed the new Niagara Regional Police radio system. His intimate knowledge and understanding of these systems provides him with the ability and skills to guide us to an optimal solution. In the late 1990s, the Niagara Voice Radio Project was created to investigate the possibility of providing one radio system for all emergency services in Niagara. Significant investment took place to make the project work but difficulties in satisfying all agency needs as well as inflated costs cause the project to be terminated. More recently, there have been initiatives from Regional Council to investigate possibilities of merging emergency dispatch centres across the region. IBI provided a report to the communications steering committee and a subsequent report to Regional Council was provided. The Council report indicated that dispatching agencies should work together to look for improvements that could reduce costs and improve interoperability. Since that time, significant work has been conducted by dispatch agencies who continue to be engaged. Although none of the agency leaders agreed that dispatch services are best 2 FS -2016-04 May 10, 2016 provided by cross -trained dispatchers, one step towards improved interoperability and cost efficiency is having less diverse radio infrastructure. ANALYSIS The Niagara Falls Fire Department requires public safety grade radio communications that are reliable and provide the highest level of safety. In 2009, Council approved the purchase of the current radio system. Recently, we have been informed that Motorola will no longer provide support for certain components of the infrastructure and user equipment. Without this support, fire operations are placed in a precarious situation with the existing system where any breakdown of specified components will either rely on scavenging used parts where possible for repair or an instantaneous replacement of the system. The preferred option is to replace the existing radio system with a new system. The Niagara Regional Police are currently implementing a new, Project 25 compliant, digital, trunked radio system that will have coverage throughout the Niagara Region. The infrastructure was designed to have capacity to accommodate additional partners, in particular, other emergency services in Niagara. This opens up a very attractive option for the NFFD and is recommended by the Fire Chief. Through discussions with NRPS Deputy Chief Matthews, the 2017 Capital budget process will provide an acceptable timeline in accordance with their new system implementation schedule. NFFD staff has been asked to participate as observers for the NRPS acceptance testing of the new radio system. This will provide a required operational confidence in the new system from a fire department perspective prior to committing to any transition. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The project is being referred to the 2017 Capital Budget process. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This project will ensure continuity of safety in fire emergency communications and provide for improved efficiencies between emergency agencies. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Eng. 1•. inrq�ul The present radio system faces a number of challenges due to the end-of-life/end-of- support status as announced by the system's manufacturer, Motorola Inc. The following is a summary of Motorola Inc. announcements: • the dispatch equipment will reach end -of -support status in 2018. This means that any dispatch equipment failure may not be repaired either due to unavailability of spare parts or due to software incompatibilities. • the subscriber equipment (mobile and portable radios as well as vehicular repeaters) will reach end -of -support status in 2019. • the infrastructure (the radio sites equipment) will reach end -of -support status in 2020. Based on these announcements and the expiration date of the service contract NFFD needs to complete the upgrade or replacement of its radio system by Q3, 2018. 05/03/2016 2 B. Perlstein Computer Services Public Safely & Public'I raauzil Wheless \yzlcmz 1�IIw�w- Dan Perlstein P. Eng. PriuciPul ALSO TO BE CONSIDERED - OBLIGATIONS & LIABILITIES Additional considerations in this endeavor are recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in its NFPA 70 document as well as the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) Report titled "Defining Public Safety Grade Systems and Facilities". These documents are critical not only in terms of the definition of general radio system requirements but also from a liability perspective as they are the reference documents when incidents become subject to inquests. "The term 'Public Safety Grade' refers to the expectation of emergency response providers and practitioners that their equipment and systems will remain operational during and immediately following a major natural or manmade disaster on a local, regional and nationwide basis." "PSG communications systems are systems that are used by public -safety responders and that have been evaluated by public -safety officials to provide reliant and resilient operations in the event of natural or man-made disasters or events." 05/03/2016 3 B.

Eng_ • the servicing of the system equipment subject to end -of -support status will have to be performed on an ad hoc basis as no Motorola licensed service provider would be able to provide a maintenance contract. • the time required to restore service, where possible, would vary according with the time required to obtain replacement parts, on a secondary market such as eBay) and it will adversely impact both the NFFD operations as well as the safety of the firefighters • the costs associated with this option cannot be quantified as they will vary both in terms of replacement parts costs as well as the time required to restore service in such conditions. The cost of the technical expertise should also be considered as technical knowledge of obsolete systems disappears quickly. • this option may expose the NFFD and the City to serious liabilities is case of major injury and damage to property due to the lack of infrastructure and dispatch backup options. This option is not realistic. 05/03/2016 4 C"mel _ex,* Lli B. Perlstein Computer Services Public Safely dE Public Travail Wirelers Syslenrn Dan Perlstein P. Eng. Principal WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS? (cont.) Options 2: Upgrade the Present System This option entails both the replacement of the infrastructure and the subscriber equipment. The end result would be a system very much like the one in operation today, including radio coverage and frequency band, but using new equipment. The service and support would be available, on a contract basis, albeit at a projected higher cost due to the need to upgrade more frequently the new infrastructure because of its IT dependent components and software. To summarize the characteristics of this option: • maintains the status quo • fully supported by Glentel or similar service provider • 15 years lifecycle This option presents one major disadvantage: it is not fully consistent with the requirements of a Public Safety Grade radio communications system in that is does not provide sufficient technical and/or operational backup as recommended in the NFPA 70 and the NPSTC Report mentioned above. This may raise some liability issues in case of an incident inquest. 05/03/2016 5 B. Perlstein Computer Services �,.r.:.y s ,amu ,.rte --I'. ,...,F. «...-,.•., ti, 11N4M»w+ Dan Perlstein P. k= ng. P.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2016-06 Millennium Recreation Trail Section Six RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the design and construction capital costs, approximately $545,000 for section six of the Millennium Recreation Trail, Lundy's Lane to Royal Manor to be designed and built in 2016. 2. The Council approve in principle and refer to the 2017 capital budget the design cost for section five Millennium Recreation Trail, Dorchester to Drummond. And that staff work with the residents opposed to Section Six to look at mitigating measures EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the Tuesday, February 23, 2016, Council meeting, R&C-2016-02 report was approved to authorize staff to initiate the public engagement process to discuss the design of Millennium Recreation Trail, section six. The public meeting took place Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at the Gale Centre with approximately 175 people in attendance. Residents who back onto and live across the street from all Millennium Trail sections were notified of the meeting. The meeting was advertised in the Niagara Falls Review, City of Niagara Falls website, social media and signage along City trails. The public engagement process also included a short survey posted on the City's website and provided at the public meeting, survey summary is attached. Majority of individuals who completed the survey were in favour of completing sections six and five. Out of 170 surveys, 121 (71%) support building section five, 49 against and 122 (73%) support building section six and 46 against. Comments supporting the trail include; health benefits, linked trail system, encourage people to get outside and active transportation. Comments against the trail include; waste of money, focus on repairing roads and infrastructure, garbage and vandalism, wildlife destruction, privacy concerns for residents, safety and decrease in property values. Staff, Park in the City and the Recreation Committee support advancing the design and construction of section six, Lundy's Lane to Royal Manor of the Millennium Recreation Trail. 2 BACKGROUND R&C-2016-06 May 10, 2016 The Millennium Recreation Trail was first established in 2000 with the construction of Section 1, located between Oakwood Drive and Lundy's Lane. The trail utilizes the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Hydro canal corridor which runs north/south through the City. Two other sections have been built in the last 15 years, the Paisley Janvary- Pool section runs between Morrison to Thorold Stone Road, 1.4 km in length opened in 2012. In 2015 the second new section the Niagara Falls Lions Legacy Trail a 1.2 km was developed. This last section runs from Thorold Stone Road at Stanley and travels north to Whirlpool Road. The completion of trail sections six and five are essential to connect the current sections of the trail. The public expressed the need to connect the sections to provide a functional active transportation corridor to link the south end to the north end of the City. Trail connectivity is important to encourage active transportation. Providing a series of connected trails is vital to create a safe route for cyclists and recreational walkers and runners. According to Statistics Canada the number one leisure -time activity is walking, followed by gardening, home exercise, jogging or running, swimming and cycling. Walking can relieve stress, tension, refreshes the mind and increases energy. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City's Official Plan, Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, Strategic Plan for Provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture and the Transportation Master Plan all recommend and support the development of trails and the importance of a connected trail system. In 2013, Niagara Falls had 16 km of trails, approximately 0.193 km per 1000 population. However, when compared to Welland at 0.593, St Catharines at 0.685, NOTL at 1.558, Niagara Falls is significantly lower. In the Niagara Region only West Lincoln and Wainfleet had lower trail km per 1000 population numbers. As trails provide many benefits such as health, environmental, economic and transportation to the users and the community, it is important that Niagara Falls continues to expand and connect its trail system. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Due to the positive response from the public engagement process, staff recommends advancing the design and construction costs for section six from Lundy's Lane to Royal Manor. The Design of section six of the Millennium Recreation Trail is listed as a priority one, unfunded 2016 capital budget project. Recommend funding the trail project from the proceeds of the OLG Municipality Contribution Agreement Reserve. 3 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT R&C-2016-06 May 10, 2016 City Council Priorities (20015-18) Infrastructure Sustainability states the goal of "Developing a plan for the completion of the City Trail System".

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Municipal Works MW -2016-15 Oakes Park Fieldhouse Utilization and Improvements RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council authorize staff to enter into a Licence Agreement with Niagara Regional Athletics for the utilization of interior storage and office space in the existing Oakes Park Fieldhouse Building. 2. That staff be authorized to proceed with tendering and construction for Phase 1 of the Oakes Park Fieldhouse Building Improvements Project, funded by Niagara Regional Athletics. 3. That the 2016 Capital Budget be amended. 4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute a Licence Agreement with Niagara Regional Athletics for use of the Oakes Park Fieldhouse EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff receive requests from Oakes Park user groups to temporarily store equipment and supplies at the park beneath the grandstand an inside the Oakes Park Fieldhouse. These facilities have been underutilized until more recently. The Greater Niagara Baseball Association (GNBA) and the Senior Soccer League currently use the change rooms and showers. The Ladies Auxiliary operates the concession booth. Public washrooms are also located within the fieldhouse. Late last year Municipal Works staff was approached Niagara Regional Athletics (NRA) to consider construction of a new storage building on the site. City staff has been working with NRA to investigate options including the use of under-utilized space within the Fieldhouse. This would result in cost savings for both NRA and the City. May 10, 2016 - 2 - MW -2016-15 Niagara Regional Athletics is the oldest track and field club in the Niagara Region, established in 1974. The Club operates at Oakes Park where they foster the ; at�' P�e�: -` s various track competitions and events through the season with competitors from across the region and the southern Ontario. The Club also provides valuable assistance with the various schools, lending their equipment for school track and field days. BACKGROUND Early in the project, Niagara Regional Athletics was investigating the option of constructing a new building at Oakes Park. This option would require installation of new services and require modifications to the parking area on the west side. Utilization of the existing fieldhouse achieves the storage and office space needs for the Club's activities and equipment for less cost. The Oakes Park Fieldhouse Building is identified as one of several park buildings that staff are evaluating with respect to capital needs, accessibility standards and user group licensing. The existing site plan is shown in attachment 1. ANALYSIS Phase 1 involves minor renovations to the existing Fieldhouse Building to establish a designated storage area for Niagara Regional Athletics (see attachment 2). Proposed work involves the removal of existing interior walls and doors, construction of new walls and doors, and various building upgrades. The estimate cost for this work is $50,000 to which Niagara Regional Athletics has agreed to fund in full (see attachment 3). Phase 2, would involve more extensive renovations to the entire building including accessible washrooms and shower rooms; renovated changerooms; updates to the concession room; brick replacement and repair; electrical and mechanical system upgrades. Phase 2 is estimated to cost approximately $300,000 and will be submitted for consideration in the 2017 Capital Budget. NRA has been actively fundraising for this project and have raised approximately $50,000 to date. The membership is supportive of contributing these funds toward Phase 1 of this project, to achieve the renovations to the fieldhouse building for their storage and office area needs. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The 2016 Capital Budget will need to be amended to include the expenditures and funding arrangement. Funding for Phase 2 improvements will be referred to 2017 Capital Budget deliberations. May 10, 2016 - 3 - MW -2016-15 A Licence Agreement between the City and Niagara Regional Athletics will be prepared outlining conditions such as; terms of use, building maintenance, and access based on the seasonal closure of the building (during winter months). CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations contained within this report are consistent with the Council's Strategic Priorities to promote economic vitality, financial stability and customer service.

MW -2016-15 Attachment #3 Dear Mayor of Niagara Falls and city councillors. I'm here tonight speaking on behalf of Niagara Regional Athletics, the oldest operating track and field club in the Niagara region, established in 1974. Oakes Park has been our home for over 42 years. We presently have over 30 volunteers who are fundamental in helping us to run this club, and therefore, make it possible for us to be able to maintain a membership of over 130 active members. Our athletes range from young tots, being initiated into the world of track and field, to elementary and high school students training for various track events, to older adults who continue to have a passion for this sport. We are proud to be able to coach all of them, in particular, our para athletes, who train under the guidance of coaches trained in special needs. Niagara Regional Athletics' principle mandate is to encourage and foster the development of athletes in the Niagara Region and to provide an organized environment from which to direct these athletes in the sport of track and field. Our goal is to be able to educate them, in a safe and fun environment, in the various genres of this sport. Athletes are guided into events best suited to fit their individual needs/talents and to promote maximum growth in their designated event. These events include sprints, middle distance running, throws, and all the jump disciplines. For the younger athletes, our emphasis is on fun, fitness, skill development and learning the basics of fair competition. As the athlete matures, the emphasis moves towards specialization in one or more events. This approach takes into account the development of the athlete from childhood to adolescence. Through the training that our club provides, many of our athletes achieve much success in school events at the elementary and high school levels and several of these athletes have gone on to earn track and field scholarships to universities here in Canada and in the United States. We are proud to boast that some have represented Canada on the world stage of athletics. Most recently, one of our para athletes won a gold and silver medal at the 2015 Para -Pan Am Games in Toronto in the 100m and 200m sprints. Beyond the training that we provide to local athletes, Niagara Regional Athletics also supplies over 30 schools in the Niagara Falls area with equipment for all their track and field practices and meets. Our original plan in working with the Niagara Falls Parks and Recreation personnel was to fundraise for a new building at Oakes Park that would accommodate the needs associated with a growing track and field club. After several productive meetings, we agreed that it was a better option to make better use of the existing building that is currently on site. This would be a far less costly option for us. The present storage shed which houses our equipment is in dire need of repairs as there is a water leakage problem, as well as a rodent problem, which has resulted in the damage of several of our expensive high jump mats. Not only does this affect Niagara Regional Athletics, but also about 30 Niagara Falls schools and hundreds of Niagara Falls children who make use of our equipment for their track and field meets. Moreover, commencing in 2017, Niagara Regional Athletics, in association with Athletics Ontario, would like to begin organizing track and field meets at Oakes Park. These meets would bring hundreds of athletes, parents and coaches from all across Ontario into our region to compete in track and field events. Presently, all meets are being held in St. Catharines at West Park. In fact, this year, every high school track and field championship, Zone, SOSSA and Regionals are being hosted at that facility. OFSAA will be in Windsor. Oakes Park is the cream of the crop of NF city parks and we know that if meets are held there it will increase this city's exposure to athletics, not to mention a further increase in tourism dollars. In order to make this possible, we require office space for registrations and meetings, as well as a facility where track meets can adequately operate from. We presently have over $50,000 to use towards this project and we can confidently say that we will be able to cover 100% of the cost of refurbishing our portion of the field house, based on estimates from the city of Niagara Falls staff. We also have met with the other user groups of the facility and we are very happy and appreciative of their full support for the project. Our request is that the city of Niagara Falls support and approve our proposal, so that work can get started as soon as possible, and we can get ready for an exciting 2017 track and field season.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW -2016-20 Chippawa Lions Park Improvements Project Information Update and Capital Budget MW -2016-20 May 10, 2016 RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council receive this report for information. 2. That funding to implement the Chippawa Lions Park Masterplan Improvements identified in this report be referred to the 2017 Capital Budget for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff have been working with the Chippawa Lions Club to address a number of existing park amenities that are designated for removal and improvement; the wading pool, tennis courts, and ash tree removal. Through this process staff has worked with the Lions Club and community stakeholders to develop a new Park Masterplan which recommends redevelopment of park areas to achieve better accessibility standards. Council approved Report R&C-2015-16 in November 2015 which recommended that the Buck Hinsperger small wading pool be decommissioned, and that staff engage stakeholders to develop a new park masterplan for Chippawa Lions Park. The Masterplan proposes park improvements including a new accessible splash pad to replace the wading pool, new tennis courts, a new accessible playground, an additional parking area for the park and pool, and other park improvements. Council approved $63,000 in 2015 Capital Budget and $100,000 in the 2016 Capital Budget. BACKGROUND Chippawa Lions Park is a 13 acre Community Park serving the Chippawa Community Planning District of the City. It currently provides a number of recreational features to the community such as the Buck Hinsperger swimming pool, playground area, tennis courts, basketball, skatepark, baseball diamonds, and exercise pathway. The park 2 MW -2016-20 May 10, 2016 holds a number of community events such as the Chippawa Lions Carnival which the Chippawa Lions Club organizes annually. The Chippawa Lions Club, established in 1941, are custodians of the park. The Club provides valuable service to the park and community helping families in need, supporting organizations such as Project Share and the Boys & Girls Club (see attachment 1 for location map). Further to Council's direction, staff have been working with the Lions Club to develop a Park Masterplan to replace the tennis courts and wading pool, as well as improve the accessibility standards for the park's recreational amenities. The Chippawa Lions Park Masterplan (attachment 2) recommends the following improvements to the park: • Remove the current closed tennis courts and reconstruct new tennis courts • Remove the wading pool and replace with a new accessible splash pad • Remove the current playground and renovate to an accessible playground area • Provide a safe basketball play area • Provide additional parking area for the pool and park • Renovations to the senior baseball field for safety and improvements to drainage conditions • Provide a new park picnic shade shelter • Implement a tree replacement program for the removal of the ash trees • Resurface the exercise pathway throughout the park The implementation of the Chippawa Lions Park Masterplan may be developed in phases: Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Removal of the wading pool and tennis courts Development of accessible splash pad, playground, tennis courts and amenity areas. Tree replacement program. Senior Baseball Diamond re -development improvements Additional parking area development ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In June 2015, staff completed a geotechnical investigation of the tennis courts to ascertain the subsurface conditions for reconstruction. The results of the geotechnical confirmed that the underground issues for the tennis courts included lack of granular support base, lack of any subdrainage system, and heavy clay base which contributed to the detioration of the courts. The tennis courts have been closed since 2014 because of their unplayable condition (refer to attachment 3 photos). Staff worked with the park stakeholders to develop a park Masterplan which would address the removal of the existing wading pool and tennis courts, but also looking at the larger scope of improving the park features and accessibility. 3 MW -2016-20 May 10, 2016 A Public Open House was held on April 18, 2016 at the Chippawa Lions Park to present the proposed Park Masterplan and discuss the removal of the wading pool and tennis courts. Approximately 20 people attended along with Lions Club members and City staff. The results of the Public Consultation process were supportive of the Chippawa Lions Park Masterplan. The comments included; concerns for the timing for replacement of the park amenities such as the new splash pad, tennis courts and children's playspace area, and the on -street parking issues. The Lions Club also expressed their support for the plans but acknowledged they also would prefer the City expedite the implementation of the Masterplan improvements for the park (attachment 4 is a Letter from the Chippawa Lions Club). FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Council currently has approved $60,000 in the 2015 Capital Budget, and $100,000 in the 2016 Capital Budget towards the Chippawa Lions Park project. This funding would cover the cost of Phase 1; Removals — tennis courts and wading pool. The following cost estimates relate to implement of the proposed improvements to the park as identified in the Chippawa Lions Park Masterplan: Phase 2 Development of: New accessible splash pad Tennis courts with new fencing and subdrainage New accessible playspace area Basketball playcourt General park servicing and improvements Tree Planting Replacement Program $ 220,000 $ 150,000 $ 110,000 $ 50,000 $ 80,000 $ 15,000 Phase 3 Senior Baseball Diamond redevelopment & services $ 250,000 Phase 4 Additional parking area and services $ 190,000 Staff are proposing to refer Phases 2, 3, and 4 to the 2017 Capital Budget deliberations. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by implementing the City's Strategic Plan for the provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture; and to promote awareness and opportunities for active living by providing accessible recreational facilities. 4 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Part of this ongoing contribution has been partnering with city staff in the development and care of the park which bears our name. We oversee the care of 2 baseball diamonds for use by the GNBA and visiting teams in annual ball tournaments. The park also provides a children's play area as well as swimming and wading pools, tennis courts and a skate pad, basketball hoops and an exercise path around and through the park. In short, it offers the public a wide area of usage. But with the passage of time the tennis courts and the wading pool have deteriorated to the point where they can no longer be used safely. As well, upgrades to the children's play area are in order. We have addressed council a year ago regarding the urgent need for action to resurface the tennis courts. Initial cost estimates proved inadequate for the necessary work on the courts. The wading pool, which has been in use since the 1960's has structural flaws that won't permit its continued use. Staff have determined that a splash pad would service the children better, for longer time and would be more cost effective. In order to inform our public and to get feedback from them staff and the Uons held a public meeting on April 18, 2016. This public open house was successful in getting positive comments from our neighbours. However, there is a pronounced desire to get these replacements and upgrades in effect sooner, not later. The public feel the priority items, like the splash pad, tennis courts, playground basketball, etc. need to be constructed now. They have been waiting for years to see action on the tennis courts and they fear this delay will extend to the entire masterplan. The Chippawa Lions support the masterplan for improvements to the park. We are happy to work with city staff in this regard. We strongly urge council to act now on the necessary funding for all phases of this program. Sincerely, GSL (%.I -ems.✓ Lion Garth Hutcheon April 25, 2016 Dean Iorfida From: Garth Hutcheon <ghutcheonl@cogeco.ca> Sent: _ Tuesday.

The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder, Scott Construction at the total tendered price of $442,960. 2. That the Capital Budget be amended to include additional funding in the amount of $62,000. 3. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This contract proposes to implement the multi -faceted renovation of the Administrative and Operations building at Fairview Cemetery. This contract includes: 1. Extensive renovations to the administrative offices, including accessibility improvements to the front entrance, customer service desk and public washrooms; 2. Renovations to the existing lunch room including the addition of a separate locker room, improved men's washroom and a FADS compliant unisex washroom; and 3. The replacement of the existing roof over the administrative offices as well as the addition of a peaked roof over the operations wing of the building. The purpose of this report is to request additional budget of $62,000 using funding from the 2016 OLG allocation to cover the shortfall; and seek Council's authorization to award the contract to the lowest bidder in order to complete the proposed renovation/construction work this year. 2 MW -2016-19 May 10, 2016 BACKGROUND In 2012/2013, renovations to the Fairview Administrative and Operations Building were identified in the Cemetery Service Delivery Review and structural inspections. The existing building was originally built in 1968 and has seen very few renovations or upgrades. As such, the administrative and operations facilities require significant renovations in order to meet legislated changes, improve accessibility and improve working environment and operational efficiency. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tender RFT2-2016 was issued for the renovation of the Fairview Cemetery Administration and Operations building, including improvements to accessibility and customer service in the administrative area, accessibility and operations to the washroom and lunchroom facilities as well as the repair and replacement of the existing roof. Thirteen (13) companies picked up the tender documents and six (6) bids were submitted. The Tender submissions were opened in the presence of City Clerk Mr. Dean lorfida and the Manager of Clerks, Mr. Bill Matson on Thursday March 24, 2016. Listed below is a summary of the total tender prices. Company Name I Tender Price Scott Construction $ 442,960.00 Golden Gate Constructing $ 464,362.00 Serianni Construction $ 480,024.00 T.A.T. Construction $ 512,813.21 T.R. Hinan Contractors $ 529,970.00 Niacon Limited $ 601,501.00 The approved Capital Budget included funding in the amount of $426,000. Additional engineering was required to finalize building designs, in order meet the recently approved Facility Accessibility Design Standards. As a result, there is a budget shortfall of $62,000 (i.e. an additional $47,000 in construction and $15,000 in engineering). 3 MW -2016-19 May 10, 2016 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Renovation of the Fairview Cemetery Administration and Operations building has been a multi-year project, in that, designs and plans have changed over three years with the implementation of the FADS Policy. Subsequent to the approval of the capital budget, the scope of the project was enhanced to meet the FADS standards where possible. As a result, the tender being approved is over the originally approved capital budget. As such, a revised capital budget sheet is attached which presents the required additional capital budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this Capital Works project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priority to establish infrastructure sustainability within the City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW -2016-23 Firemen's Park — Clubhouse and Lecture Hall External Site Servicing Funding MW -2016-23 May 10, 2016 RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve funding the external site works of the Firemen's Park Clubhouse and Lecture Hall from the OLG Contribution Agreement Reserve, and; 2. That Council direct Staff to administer the construction of the external site works of the Firemen's Park Clubhouse and Lecture Hall in accordance with the City's Standards, Specifications and Procurement Policies. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Firemen's Park has been an integral part of the community, playing a significant role in the provision of recreational opportunities. The City has been a key partner on both the Firemen's Park Youth Activity Complex and the Leash -Free Dog Park. Through a Commitment Agreement dated February 25th, 2014 the City purchased Firemen's Park to lease it back to the Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemen's Association (SCVFA) for a term of ninety nine years. An important condition of this Agreement is that the SCVFA is to maintain Firemen's Park to the same high standard it has to date as well as complete and occupy the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall for use as their headquarters from which to continue to carry out their program of community service. The purpose of this report is to identify funding for site works approved as part of the Firemen's Park Clubhouse and Lecture Hall site plan. The work generally involves concrete curb and sidewalk, construction of parking areas including the supply and placement of hot mix asphalt as well as site grading and landscaping. These site works not only service the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall but also service the remaining parkland, Youth Activity Complex and the Leash Free Dog Park. SCVFA have requested the City's assistance in funding these works. Staff recommend Council's consideration to include funding of the approved Clubhouse and Lecture Hall Site Plan works from proceeds of the OLG Contribution Agreement Reserve. As well, administer the construction of these works in accordance with the City's Standards, Specifications and Procurement Policies. 2 MW -2016-023 May 10, 2016 BACKGROUND Firemen's Park is approximately 43.7ha. (108 acres) in size and is situated on the north side of Mountain Road between Dorchester Road and the Mountain Road Landfill site. The lands are located within the Niagara Escarpment and are subject to the land use regulations permitted by the Niagara Escarpment Commission. Residents of the City of Niagara Falls have enjoyed the recreational use of Firemen's Park for many years. These lands were previously privately -owned by the SCVFA until such time as the City through a new Commitment Agreement dated February 25th, 2014 purchased the property and leased it back to the SCVFA for a term of ninety nine years. As part of this Agreement the SCVFA will continue to maintain Firemen's Park to the same high standards. This Agreement allowed the continued public use of Firemen's Park as well as allows for the SCVFA to host many community events such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Twightlight Tuesdays, Blues in the Park and the Annual Fall Fair. Firemen's Park Clubhouse and Lecture Hall The Commitment Agreement requires the SCVFA is to complete and occupy the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall to serve as the base of operations for the SCVFA. A 2014 site plan approval was issued by the City to allow for work to continue on the Firemen's Park Clubhouse and Lecture Hall. Following completion of the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall the SCVFA have requested that the City provide the funding for all the external site works approved as part of the 2014 site plan. These site works not only service the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall but also service the remaining parkland, Youth Activity Complex and the Leash Free Dog Park. Once completed the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall is to be maintained and operated by the SCVFA and will assist in expanding community programs. Firemen's Park Youth Activity Complex and Leash -Free Dog Park As part of the Commitment Agreement the Firemen's Park Youth Activity Complex and Leash -Free Dog Park are to be maintained pursuant to terms of a lease dated April 1, 2012. The terms in this lease apply only to those lands within the Park designated for the Firemen's Park Youth Activity Complex and the Leash -Free Dog Park. Under the terms of this lease the City maintains the playground equipment, grass cutting, trimming and edging, application of dust suppressant to the gravel roadway and parking areas, maintenance of services and waste collection. Most recently, additional works to assist with winter maintenance on the dog park were completed in the fall of 2015. These works would allow for the dog park to be open year round. 3 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE MW -2016-023 May 10, 2016 Staff has estimated costs associated with the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall approved Siteplan works. In addition to these works the SCVFA wish to have additional works performed that will assist with maintenance and functionality for the community. The work generally involves concrete curb and sidewalk, construction of parking areas including the supply and placement of hot mix asphalt as well as site grading and landscaping. These site works not only service the Clubhouse and Lecture Hall but also service the Youth Activity complex and the Leash Free Dog Park. The estimated costs are as follows: Approved Siteplan Works $219,150.00 Additional Siteworks $43,000.00 Landscaping $35,000.00 $297,150.00 Subject to funding approval, staff will administer the construction of these works in accordance with the City's Standards, Specifications and Procurement Policies. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Funding of the approved Clubhouse and Lecture Hall Site Plan works to be considered from proceeds of the OLG Contribution Agreement Reserve. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by providing opportunities for active living and promoting a healthy and safe community.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2016-20 OLG Reserve Fund Update F-2016-20 May 10, 2016 RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council amend the 2016 Capital Budget to include the additional projects totaling $2,939,000 identified in this report and use to fund the projects the OLG Municipality Contribution Agreement Reserve. 2) That Council approve the transfer of $356,242 to the Future Hospital Reserve Fund and the transfer to municipal reserves of $1,019,894. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the City of Niagara Falls approved the new Municipal Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This agreement significantly increased the City's hosting fees from the previous agreement. The City has recently received the reconciliation of annual revenue for the third year of the agreement ending March 31, 2016. The total amount the City received was $23,749,476 ($21,468,273 in 2015 and $21,263,695 in 2014), Since the inception of the agreement, staff has updated Council regularly on the commitments and use of the funds received. This report provides a summary of the third year's results. During the 2016 budget deliberations, Council had committed $16,495,239 of the funds received to operational and capital needs. An additional $1,235,000 of the funds received has been committed subsequent to both the budgets approval in February. Staff recommended and Council agreed to wait until the annual reconciliation was received from OLG before committing the balance of funds. Consistent with the objectives of financial stability, staff are recommending that two transfers to reserves be approved. These transfers are the annual allocation to the future hospital fund ($356,242)and to the capital/operating reserve ($1,019,894). The spending allocations for this year is consistent with direction staff received. Specifically levy reduction (25%), capital reinvestment (46%), regional policing (17.7%), 2 F-2016-20 May 10, 2016 transfer to municipal reserves (5.8%) and economic development initiatives (5.4%). This is summarized in Chart 4. BACKGROUND In September 2013, Council approved the Municipal Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This Agreement increased the hosting fee to the municipality for the two casinos located in Niagara Falls. The funding period is based on the Province's fiscal year, specifically April 1st to March 31st. Payments, based on a percentage of gaming revenues, are received by the City each quarter. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City received a total of $23,749,476 during the third year ending March 31, 2016. During the year and during budget deliberations, Council approved $16,495,239. In addition, Council has previously approved transfers to reserve funds. In the previous two years, Council has allocated funding to the future hospital reserve. In this period, staff recommend transferring an additional amount of 4.3% to capital/operating special purpose reserves. The summary of revenues and commitments is provided in Chart 1. As is shown in this chart, prior to funding additional capital projects there is approximately $4.641M available. Staff have recommended using the funds in two ways. Firstly, Staff recommend that $1.702M remain unallocated and available for Federal Capital infrastructure announcements. The other recommendation is to allocate funding of $2.939M towards additional capital projects. To facilitate the decision making regarding capital projects to select, Staff were asked to prioritize for their department. Only those projects that are ready to proceed at this time and meet critical Operating or Capital needs are being advanced. The summary of projects Staff are recommending is shown in Chart 3. For Council's reference, Chart 2 is also included, which summarizes the Priority 1 capital projects that were unfunded in the original Capital Budget known as Tab 10. It should be noted that some projects have been recommended for advancement that were not part of the original capital budget. These are being advanced because of risk management directives or because of previous agreements. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS This report is the culmination of the third fiscal year under the new agreement. At the inception of the OLG contribution agreement, Council provided direction to staff on the use of the funds received. As a result, Council adopted six key areas of expenditures that funds should be used for. These include 1) property tax relief 2) future Niagara Falls hospital 3) Capital Asset Investments 4) Economic Development Initiatives 5) Debt 3 F-2016-20 May 10, 2016 retirement and financial stability 6) NRPS funding. The funds allocated to these directives is shown in Chart 4 are consistent with previous years.

That Council pass the by-law to deem Lots 1 and 4 and Part of Lot 2, Plan 102 to no longer be within the registered plan of subdivision to permit them to merge in title and become one parcel. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY John McCullough (John McCullough Dentistry) has submitted an application to amend Zoning By-law No. 79-200 for the lands known as 3690 Portage Road and 6174 Keith Street. The property known as 3690 Portage Road is zoned General Commercial and 6174 Keith Street is zoned Residential Single Family 1C (R1 C). The applicant is requesting an amendment to place both properties under a site specific General Commercial (GC) zone which would continue to allow 3690 Portage Road to be used for commercial purposes and would permit additional parking to be provided on 6174 Keith Street. The requested amendment would also allow 6174 Keith Street to be further developed for commercial purpose in the future. Further, the applicant is also requesting a Deeming By-law to be passed which would allow the lands to merge and become one parcel and developed comprehensively. The amendment is recommended for the following reasons: The lands are located within the Stamford Retail District. The district functions as a principal shopping area providing a full range of retail uses to meet weekly shopping requirements of residents. Local serving commercial uses are expected along Portage Road; 2 PBD -2016-23 May 10, 2016 The lands are designated Major Commercial, in part, and Residential, in part, in the City's Official Plan. The policies in the Official Pan allow the minor rounding out of commercial areas or boundaries which enhance economic viability and improve internal traffic circulation and landscaping; The amendment would allow the lands to be developed comprehensively and would legalize the use of 6174 Keith Street for parking associated with the dental office; The proposal would have minimal traffic impact on residences on Keith Street; The proposal provides sufficient landscaping along the easterly property line which abuts the residential zone. This landscaping will buffer the adjacent property from the parking lot; The proposal will enable additional parking to be provided for the existing dental office; and The existing infrastructure can support the proposal. To ensure the lands are developed in an efficient manner and the issues related to landscaping, buffering, site drainage and lighting are addressed, it is recommended the project be subject to a holding (H) symbol until the applicant has completed the site plan approval process and a Site Plan Agreement is registered over the lands. BACKGROUND Proposal John McCullough Dentistry has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for 1456.6 square metres (0.35 ac) of land known as 3690 Portage Road and 6174 Keith Street. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the site. The zoning amendment is requested to allow the lands to be developed comprehensively and legalize the existing parking on 6174 Keith Street. Schedule 2 shows details of the site. The property known as 3690 Portage Road is zoned General Commercial (GC) and the property known as 6174 Keith Street is zoned Residential Single Family 1C (RIC) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting a new GC zone with site specific regulations to legalize the existing parking area on 6174 Keith Street and to allow the lands to be developed for a variety of commercial uses. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The lands known as 3690 Portage Road are developed with a dental office. A single detached dwelling was removed from 6174 Keith Street and replaced with a surface parking area. Surrounding properties to the north, west and south contain a variety of commercial uses. Single detached dwellings are located to the east. 3 Circulation Comments PBD -2016-23 May 10, 2016 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 and Regional perspective. • Building Services, Transportation Services, Park Design, Fire Services and Municipal Works No objections to the rezoning. The driveway on Keith Street must be 6 m in width to allow bi-directional traffic. The property is served by numerous transit routes. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on April 6, 2016 to obtain feedback from area residents. The meeting was attended by three residents who were supportive of the proposal. The owner of the abutting property to the east had concerns regarding the site drainage. He expressed concerns that, due to the slope of the land, the water from the subject property flows onto his property. He wanted to know how the applicant will address the site drainage. Further, he also wanted to ensure that there would be sufficient screening provided along the common lot line to address the Toss of privacy. The applicant and their agent noted that the site servicing issues will be addressed through the site plan process. To address the privacy concerns they agreed to provide a close board fence along the common lot line. The applicant's agent noted that the proposed landscaping buffer along the east property line will provide additional screening. ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The lands are designated Major Commercial, in part, and Residential, in part, in the City's Official Plan. The Official Plan allows for minor boundary adjustments where the general intent of the Official Plan is maintained. The subject lands are located within the Stamford Retail District which contains a mix of commercial and high density uses. The proposal complies with the Official Plan as follows: - The policies in the Official Plan allow the minor rounding out of commercial areas or boundaries which enhance economic viability and improve internal traffic circulation and landscaping. 4 PBD -2016-23 May 10, 2016 The proposal achieves compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood by maintaining landscaping along the Keith Street frontage and providing a landscape strip along the east property line. The traffic generated is not expected to be significant, therefore impacts on existing traffic patterns are not expected. Zoning By-law The subject lands are currently zoned General Commercial (GC), in part, and Residential Single Family R1C (R1C), in part. The applicant requests the lands be rezoned to a site specific GC zone to legalize the use of 6174 Keith Street for parking. The following chart compares the standard regulation of the GC zone with those proposed. Provision Current Requirements Lot Frontage 6m Front Yard Depth None Interior Side Yard Depth None Proposed Standards 15 m along Keith Street 17m along Portage Road 6m along Keith Street Landscaping None 2m along the easterly lot line 6m strip along Keith Street 2m strip along the easterly lot line The requested regulations can be supported for the following reasons: • The applicant is proposing to merge the two properties (3690 Portage Road and 6174 Keith Street) in title and develop them together. This allows for an efficient site design by providing additional parking on-site and a landscaping strip along the east property line which will help buffer the adjacent dwelling from the commercial use. • A 6m landscaping setback along Keith Street will assist in blending the proposed development with the residential neighbourhood to the east. 3. Site Plan Control The conversion of 6174 Keith Street into a commercial parking lot in association with a commercial use on 3690 Portage Road should be made subject to Site Plan Control. Site Plan Control is a tool which allows the City to ensure that the land is developed in a safe, functional and orderly manner. It is also used to ensure that the development standards approved by the City and other agencies are implemented and maintained. 5 PBD -2016-23 May 10, 2016 Issues regarding landscaping, fencing and site drainage were raised during the neighbourhood meeting by the neighbouring property owner. To ensure these matters are address in a timely manner, it is recommended that the applicant be required to submit a site plan application within 60 days of Council's decision. It is further recommended the project be subject to a holding (H) symbol until the applicant has completed the site plan approval process and entered into an agreement with the City to ensure the drainage and buffering concerns of the neighbour are addressed. 4. Deeming By-law The subject lands are comprised of 2 whole Tots and 1 part lot (Lots 1 and 4, and Part of Lot 2, Plan 102) in a plan of subdivision. The whole lots were intended to be developed separately; however, the applicant is proposing to develop the lands as one parcel. To enable the lands to merge, the applicant is requesting the City to pass a "deeming by-law". A deeming by-law removes the special status granted to whole lots within registered plans of subdivision for the purpose of subdivision control under the Planning Act. The registration of such a by-law would merge the subject properties together and allow them to be developed as one parcel. The deeming by- law is included in Council's agenda. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The application does not affect any of the City's strategic commitments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9469699 Canada Corp. proposes to develop a 34 unit townhouse project on the lands known as 6158, 6174 and 6180 Main Street as a Common Element Condominium. To facilitate its development the applicant has applied to subdivide the 0.69 hectare site into 5 blocks for townhouse dwelling units and a 6tn block for common elements (providing the driveway, visitor parking and landscaping). The applicant has also applied for a Common Element Condominium to allow common ownership of the 6th block by the townhouse dwelling unit owners. Planning staff recommends the applications, for the following reasons: 2 PBD -2016-21 May 10, 2016 • the proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies with respect to utilizing brownfield lands and providing for intensification; • the proposal complies with the Official Plan with respect to residential development in the Drummondville Node and complies with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended and varied; and • the proposed subdivision will subdivide the lands into blocks for the future development of townhouse dwellings, while the common elements condominium will permit the common ownership of the access driveway, visitor parking and landscaped amenity areas by the townhouse dwelling unit owners. The conditions of draft plan approval, which address servicing, parkland dedication, fencing, utility installation, and all other matters related to the development of the subdivision and condominium, are listed in Appendices A and B. BACKGROUND Proposal 9469699 Canada Corp. proposes to develop a 34 unit townhouse project on the lands known as 6158, 6174 and 6180 Main Street as a Common Element Condominium. To facilitate its development the applicant has applied to subdivide the 0.69 hectare site into 5 blocks for townhouse dwelling units and a 6th block for common elements. The 34 future townhouse dwelling unit owners would have common ownership over the 6th block, which would contain the access driveway, visitor parking and certain landscaped areas. The division of the townhouse blocks into units is to be accomplished later through an application to lift part lot control. Refer to Schedule 2 for the proposed plan of subdivision and Schedule 3 for the preliminary layout of the townhouse units. The lands are zoned Residential Low Density Grouped Multiple Dwelling (R4(H)-916) and the lot area regulations were varied (Minor Variance application A-2015-042) which will permit the proposed townhouses upon the lifting of a holding (H) symbol. The holding (H) symbol requires the completion of environmental site assessments and the filing of a Record of Site Condition to certify the land is suitable for residential use. Surrounding Land Uses The lands, originally occupied by the Coca Cola Bottling Plant, are now vacant and slope down eastward, away from Main Street. The property is surrounded by mainly low and medium density residential to the west, south and north east, by a park to the east and by commercial uses and vacant land to the north. Circulation Comments • Regional Municipality of Niagara (the Region) 3 PBD -2016-21 May 10, 2016 No objections. The Region provided several conditions to address standard development requirements. These conditions have been incorporated into Appendix A. • Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) No objections. Requested conditions included in Appendix A. • Municipal Works, Transportation Services, Parks Design, Fire Services, Enbridge Gas, Bell Canada, and Canada Post No objections. Requested conditions included in Appendix A. • Information Systems No Objections. As access to the site will come from Robinson Street a Robinson Street address should be provided. Units to be numbered in accordance with 911 protocol. ANALYSIS 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. These policies direct municipalities to facilitate residential intensification and promotes the redevelopment of brownfield areas, such as the subject site, to help meet intensification targets. The proposed townhouse development is a form of residential intensification promoted by the Province. 2. Official Plan The subject lands are designated Minor Commercial in the Official Plan and are located within the Drummondville Node. They are permitted to be developed with residential uses in a form that respects the surrounding built form. Developments that provide a street presence with parking located behind the buildings are encouraged. The proposed development of townhouses will be consistent with the surrounding 2 — 3 storey buildings in terms of height. The townhouses will provide a landscaped frontage on and dwelling orientation towards Main Street to engage the streetscape, with parking behind. The proposal is in keeping with the relevant policies for this area. 3. Zoning By-law Amendment The subject lands are currently zoned R4(H)-916 in accordance with Zoning By- law No. 79-200 as amended by By-law No. 2010-131. This zoning, as varied by Minor Variance Application A-2015-042, permits the 34 townhouse dwelling units. As the land was formerly used for industrial purposes and is now being 4 PBD -2016-21 May 10, 2016 redeveloped fora more sensitive land use, a holding (H) symbol exists on the land to secure the necessary environmental site assessments and a Record of Site Condition, in accordance with Provincial regulations, that will demonstrate that they are suitable for residential use. 4. Subdivision/Condominium Design and Conditions of Approval The development will consist of 34 townhouse dwelling units in 5 blocks to be accessed from a private driveway coming off Robinson Street. The units along Main Street will have landscaped privacy yards next to the public sidewalk. Each unit will have a garage accessed from the private common road in the interior of the project. Through conditions of approval landscaping and decorative fencing should be secured along Main Street. A Common Element Condominium is similar to a Vacant Land Condominium with the exception that common ownership is placed over a limited portion of the lands needed for such things as common access and visitor parking. The units are considered Parcels of Tied Lots, where owners would have freehold ownership over the unit areas and would be responsible for unit maintenance. The lots would be tied to the common area to provide private access to Robinson Street. This type of condominium is popular in other jurisdictions due to the freehold ownership and lower maintenance costs associated with a more limited common area. The plan of subdivision is necessary to create the blocks (5) for the townhouse dwellings and the one block for common elements. This will allow the townhouse blocks to be divided into the individual units through future Part Lot Control Applications. Conditions of approval for the subdivision are listed in Appendix "A" while the conditions of approval for the Common Element Condominium are listed in Appendix "B". Although a Common Element Condominium is unique in the City, conditions are similar to those for a Vacant Land Condominium, and will address the construction of a private driveway and services, provision of fencing and landscaping, fire access and protection, and the provision of the necessary utilities. Most of these conditions will be addressed under the Common Element Condominium approval. Despite this, the final approvals of the subdivision and condominium will need to occur concurrently and it should be demonstrated that the future units will be legally tied to a public street through the private driveway. The conditions secure this. Parkland dedication will be taken for this development as cash -in -lieu in accordance with the Planning Act. Appropriate conditions have been included to address this matter. 5 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS PBD -2016-21 May 10, 2016 The proposed development will generate cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication and property tax revenue for the City. Under the terms of the Historic Drummondville Community Improvement Plan, the developer is entitled to a 75% development charge reduction. There are no other financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed development complies with the City's Official Plan.

Language on the Millennium Trail in the TMP is abundant, strong, and consistently mentioned to be a "priority" for implementation. Most trail proposals (& political decisions) aren't without some controversy, as you all understand. There will always be someone who speaks out against it, and if we always voted with them...we wouldn't have some of the great trails and community assets that exist today. The Millennium trail is also a great opportunity for people to use a route for practical commuting purposes across NF. If Council votes in opposition, all that will happen is the prolonged implementation of a key piece of infrastructure. Inevitably, completion will occur, whether it be during this term of Council, or one of its successors 2/3 terms from now when we arrive at the same re -consideration. In all honesty from what I have heard from other residents in neighbouring cities, OPG and other municipalities think we're literally crazy to not take advantage of such an asset. Where else in the City can residents travel from one extreme corner to the other corner of the City with almost no external interruption with several connection points along the way? The Trail also doesn't even bother our public road infrastructure, and belongs to the Power Authority who fully supports the Trail's implementation. To think of this trail as purely something for recreational and tourism purposes is acute and very limited in scope. It meets broader transportation objectives that will reconnect the City. Niagara Falls is so utterly fragmented when it comes to active transportation facilities because of the sheer number of physical barriers; 2 expressways, a hydro canal, railway corridors, and hydro fields. It can be very difficult to get from one end of the City to the other, particularly when our roads have little to no adequate bicycle infrastructure and we require a car to get anywhere practical. I hope and urge you all to make the right decision. Please think of the future trail users, and not just the elder cohort relentlessly known to complain. It bothers me to know that, some of our decision makers are paying far too much attention to the couple dozen abutting property owners who are illusioned into thinking that crime will run rampant in their neighbourhoods, dog poop will litter their atmosphere and their property values will somehow decrease in any way, shape or form. 4 (I can say with confidence that should that trail have existed decades ago and they bought their house from the land developer, that those abutting lots would have been declared "premium" and sold as such. Ignore this rhetoric as they have no empirical evidence that similar notions have occurred in other case precedents. The world is not "out to get them". Lastly, please remember that a vote against the Millennium Trail's proposal is principally a vote against the City's Official Plan. Best regards, Curtis Thompson, B.URPI Niagararall5 City of Niagara Falls Office of the Mayor Proclamation Whereas, public works services provided in our community are an integral part of our citizen's everyday lives; and Whereas, the support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, sidewalks, roads, bridges, parks, cemeteries, public buildings, and solid waste collection; and Whereas, the health, safety and comfort of this community greatly depends on these facilities and services; and Whereas, the quality and effectiveness of these facilities, as well as their planning, design, and construction, is vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials; and Whereas, the efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who staff public works departments is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding of the importance of the work they perform.

Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Members: Celebrate Old Downtown Community Corp. (COD) is a not -profit organization with a mandate to promote the downtown core through events. The COD is planning a number of street events throughout the 2016 -year in co-operation with other event organizers. In conjunction with Niagara Falls Beer Festival Ltd., we are requesting that the City of Niagara Falls declare the Niagara Falls Beer Festival on Saturday, August 13th and Sunday, August 14th a Community Festival. We would like to request the relief of cost associated with the following: Street Closing We would kindly request permission to close Queen Street from St. Lawrence Avenue to Zimmerman Avenue commencing Friday, August 12 at 5 pm for set-up of the event. We will also require all side streets leading onto Queen Street to be closed to ensure Queen Street becomes a pedestrian only area. The closure will commence Friday, August 12 at 5pm through Monday, August 15 at 8 am, thereby allowing enough time for set-up and teardown of the event. We respectfully request that Council waive the costs of these street closures. A complete layout of the event will be submitted to Parking Operations and Transportations Services in the near future. As part of the street closure, Niagara Falls Beer Festival Ltd. has been approved a Special Occasions Permit by the AGCO in a fenced area from Ontario Avenue to Zimmerman Avenue (along Queen Street) as well as along Erie Avenue to Park Street. Stages We would like to place the main stage on the old Rosberg property, and have received approval in writing from Keefer Developments to utilize this property during the time of said requested street closure. The main stage will act as the entertainment (music) stage, and will be operating from 12:OOpm — 11:00 pm on Saturday, August 13, and 12 pm to 5 pm Sunday, August 14th, providing that permission has been granted (as well as a noise -bylaw extension approval by the City for the Saturday — see below request). To accommodate the main stage, we are using a generator. We're also requesting noise by-law be extended for the main stage from 9 pm to 11:00 pm for Saturday night. We would like to utilize a second (smaller) stage that will be placed at centennial square in front of City Hall. This stage will be used only for smaller scale Q&A panels and seminars.. This area will be operational during a similar time as the main stage on the Rosbergs property. We'd like to request the use of the hydro hook-ups near City Hall to power the stage. Cleaning Celebrate Old Downtown and the Niagara Falls Beer Festival would like to request that the City assist us with a sweeping of the street late at night on the Saturday and Sunday nights. Furthermore, Niagara Falls Beer Festival Ltd. will utilize additional volunteers to keep the area clean throughout the event, with ongoing garbage container changes. We also request space to place a garbage bin beside the two City bins 4333 Queen Street throughout the weekend. Water Hook-ups We would like to request the use of the fire hydrant located at Park Street and Erie Avenue and to supply the food vendors with fresh running water to their booths. This year we would like to again request the use of the hydrant and a second location on the corner of Queen Street and St. Clair Avenue with the City installing a multi -line water hook-up on each hydrant. Washrooms There will be a total of 20 portable washrooms on-site (within the fenced area), including four of the units equipped for handicap/childcare accessible, plus two hand washing stations. There will be four located in the City Hall courtyard and the remaining ten units will be spread out throughout the gated area at event venue. There will be a contractor with a pumping truck on site throughout the event to maintain units. Parking_ Permits During the event, vendors and event goers will be occupying all parking spaces on Queen Street and the organizers respectfully request that the city waive any costs for metered parking spaces for the duration of the event. Health Regulations There will be numerous food vendors at this event as it is a food festival. All food vendors will have to submit a completed Niagara Regional Public Health form with their Vendor Application upon being approved to participate in our event. Insurance Niagara Falls Beer Festival Ltd. will have event insurance in place, as required under the City Special Events Policy. Food Vendor Licensing Fees Celebrate Old Downtown and Niagara Falls Beer Festival would like to also request reduced food vendor fees since this is an event to promote the Downtown core and as a not for profit organization we will be using the raised monies for the ongoing revitalization of the area. Fire Safety Celebrate Old Downtown and Niagara Falls Beer Festival will meet with the Fire Department to discuss any of their concerns about the event, such as cooking, laneways, electrical and water lines. We look forward to your feedback and hope to work together to create an annual Festival that draws locals from around the Region, and tourists from across the globe.

Dean Iorfida From: Robin Lakeit <Robin.Lakeit@dsbn.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 5:53 PM To: Deal Icifi_ia Subject: Permit for Food Trucks Hello Dean, I was told that you would be the contact person to inquire about an event we're looking to organize for Friday, May 27th. Can you please inform me what would be involved in applying for a permit to allow food trucks onto the property at A.N. Myer Secondary School over the lunch time ? This would be a one -day event meant to contribute to overall school spirit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The municipality must have the annual tax rates approved prior to providing rate payers with final tax bills. The 2016 General Purposes Budget was approved on February 23, 2016. The annual general levy of $63,626,583 was approved at this time. The City's tax rates included in this report reflect the approved general levy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The due dates for final tax billing must be approved by Council pursuant to the Municipal Act. The City has established that due dates for the non -capped property classes be June 30 and September 30. The due dates for the capped classes are August 31 and October 31 due to the additional calculations required for these billings. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls is responsible for billing and collecting property taxes on all assessable properties within the municipality. These annual billings include the annual taxes for the City, for the Region of Niagara and the appropriate local school boards. Due dates for property taxes are set to coincide with the quarterly levy payments made to the Region and the school boards. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Due to the additional calculations required to prepare the 2016 Final Tax Notices for the Commercial, Industrial and Multi -residential property classes, all assessment classes cannot be billed at the same time. Staff is therefore recommending that the Final Tax Notice Due Dates for the Residential, Pipeline, Farmland and Managed Forest Assessment Classes be set as June 30 and September 30. And that the Final Tax Notice Due Dates for the Commercial, Industrial and Multi -residential Assessment Classes be set as August 31 and October 31 to accommodate the additional calculations required for these property classes.

That Council approve the alterations and grant to the Coach House associated with the Doran Marshall Burke House, specifically the restoration of a single casement window and carriage doors, as it will assist in the overall preservation of the Coach House. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the April 27, 2016 meeting of the Municipal Heritage Committee the following two motions were adopted: With respect to the Egerton Morton House, 6145 Corwin Ave: "That the Committee has determined that the proposed work will not alter the reasons for designation and supports the application for one half the costs to a maximum of $2, 373.00 for the restoration of the storm windows on the Egerton Morton House as it will assist in the preservation of the existing windows and complete the project that was started in 2013." And further, With respect to the Doran Marshall Burke House, 4851 River Rd: "That the Committee accept the proposed design for the carriage doors and the single casement window and therefore support the application for the two projects for a grant. The Committee would like further investigation to be done for the third project, the window above the carriage doors, to determine if the proposed design is eligible for funding under the grant guidelines." 2 PBD -2016-25 May 10, 2016 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 6145 Corwin Crescent, Egerton Morton House c. 1876 An application was received for the restoration of eight storm windows. The proposed work is completion of a project that was started in 2013 where eight other storm windows were restored on the house. The project is necessary to prevent the further deterioration of the existing windows. The grant guidelines state that one half of the eligible estimated costs of a project to a maximum of $5,000 will be paid to the owner. The maximum estimated cost of this project is $6,102.00. Grant guidelines would cap the amount of eligible costs at $3,051.00. 4851 River Road, Doran Marshall Burke House, c. 1886 An application was received for a three part project, the restoration of a single casement window on the east and a double casement window above the carriage doors and the carriage doors on the Coach House. The Committee supports the restoration of the single casement window on the east side of the Coach House as well as the restoration of the carriage doors. The proposed work contributes to the overall preservation and conservation of the Coach House, which is a designated feature of the property. But the Committee has requested further investigation be carried out to determine if the window proposed above the carriage doors is appropriate before recommending support for the project. Therefore, the recommendation is that the grant for the single casement window and carriage doors be approved as submitted, but the approval for the double casement window above the carriage doors be deferred until such time as it is can be determined if the proposed window is appropriate. The grant guidelines state that one half of the eligible estimated costs of a project to a maximum of $5,000 will be paid to the owner.

Sports Wall of Fame Constitution Recommended by: Respectfully submitted. Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Attachment #1 Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame Constitution OBJECTIVE To honour and perpetuate the names and deeds of those individuals and teams whose athletic abilities have brought fame to themselves and Niagara Falls, and of those individuals whose knowledge, interest in, and work for sport has resulted in a climate which benefited athletes and athletics. CATEGORIES Induction into the Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame is restricted to Niagara Falls athletes and builders of sport. Athletes, Teams, Builders and Sponsors must be nominated in order to be considered for induction. a) Athletes - Open Category Athletes to be considered for admission to the Sports Wall of Fame must have been outstanding in their athletic field of endeavour, or must have achieved better than average proficiency in a number of sports, even if not reaching the absolute top level in any one, in competition against peer athletes. This involves those competing on a strictly local level and those going on to district, provincial, national and international events, as well as those who enter professional sports. Any athlete nominated to the Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame must have been retired from active participation in the sport(s) for which he/she is nominated for a period of not less than three years (dating from the end of the season of the sports(s) for which he/she has been nominated). An active athlete may be eligible for nomination if she/he has reached the age of fifty years. In the case of automatic nominees, these restrictions do not apply, as determined by the constitution. b) Teams "Teams" shall be eligible for recognition and shall be judged on merit and residency by the Era Committee. Recommendation shall be made by various Era Committees as per each nomination. A "team" for Wall of Fame purposes is defined as "any group of two or more athletes engaged in the same sport who work together as a unit in that sport". The team may be made up of members of the same sex or the sexes may be intermixed, providing the majority of the team were Niagara Falls residents and have reached the age of 14 years, at the time of their accomplishment. Any high school team must have won a minimum Ontario Federation of School Athletics Association (O.F.S.A.A.) championship to 2 be considered and the accomplishment must be of significance for the school. Significance is defined as having extreme importance for the school. A figure skating pair, tennis doubles, culling tram, nrross Entry running team, etc. are defined as teams for our purposes. A boxer and his manager do not constitute a team. c) Builders Builders are defined as officials (referees, umpires), individual sponsors, executive members, trainers, coaches, etc., whose work for sport over an extended period of time has been outstanding, whether it be in the organization of leagues and facilities, achieving a high degree of success in coaching teams and/or individuals, keeping a league or team active, providing services at a consistently high level over an extended period of time, etc. However, just because an individual has worked many years for a sport as a builder does not necessarily mean eligibility for the Sports Wall of Fame. His/her work over that period of time, or over most of it, must have been of a consistently high level with regard to services provided or results achieved. d) Sponsors The Sponsor Award is presented to a business, corporation or group in recognition of a minimum of five years significant contribution to sports in the City of Niagara Falls. Nominees are judged on merit by each era committee with no automatic induction.

Athletes and teams must be nominated to be considered. VALIDATION: a) The Niagara Falls athlete, team or builder must have been a resident of this City at the time of his/her feat to be considered qualified for "Automatic Selection". 4 An athlete who performs his/her feat while temporarily outside of Niagara Falls is considered to still be a resident of Niagara Falls, providing his/her "home" residence is still this City. b) Provided the above and other restrictions are met, the Sports Wall of Fame Committee shall vote as to whether the credentials, research, etc., presented are factual proof of the feat. Approval must be made by at least 3/4 or 75% of the quorum of the Committee.
