Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2016-15 Update on Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund RECOMMENDATION 1. Report be received for information of Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Arts, Culture & Museum Committee through Council, established the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund in 2016. In the first year of the program, six individuals and/or organizations were able to create cultural products by and for the residents of the City of Niagara Falls. BACKGROUND On March 22, 2016, Council approved the guidelines and objectives for this first time program. The City of Niagara Falls Arts, Culture and Museum Committee created the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund (NFCDF) with the following objectives: • Allocate funding to new cultural initiatives and innovative programs and projects that engage the local community with cultural and heritage-related ideas and activities; • Build capacity in Niagara Falls' culture sector; • Increase access to culture for residents and visitors in Niagara Falls; • Promote cultural partnerships between public, private and governmental sectors; • Provide support to Niagara Falls culture groups and participants; • Celebrate Niagara Falls' history, people, and identity. The aim is to support interesting, innovative, and high quality cultural programming that is: • Niagara Falls based (i.e., created by, experienced in and celebrates the arts and heritage of Niagara Falls); • Inclusive (i.e. accessible, open to the public); • Collaborative (i.e. features shared costs and enhanced partnerships); • Accountable (i.e. has measurable impact and sustainability). 2 R&C-2016-15 October 25, 2016 The fund opened on April 1, 2016, and closed on June 10, 2016, with recipients announced by mid-July. On 14 June 2016, Council heard a presentation from Rafik Guirguis regarding Livestock Music Festival. He requested that Council match donations to the festival up to $7,500. Livestock was one of the 2016 recipients of this new program. Livestock will be eligible to apply for funding in 2017 under this program, should he meet the required criteria. It is the intention of this Fund to provide assistance towards festivals such as Livestock and others and believes that the application process is the most transparent way for the City of Niagara Falls to do so. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The 2016 recipients of the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund as evaluated by the Arts, Culture & Museum Committee were: Niagara Falls Art Gallery Seniors Teaching Seniors The purpose of this project is to continue to pilot a program of providing in resident seniors art programs. $5,000 Rafik Guirguis Livestock Music Festival Livestock Niagara Music Festival will host 45 bands (4 stages, 13 craft-art vendors, over a 14-hour day. Non-profit. Community event. Free to the public. $5,000 Niagara Falls Military Museum WWI Escape from Niagara Falls Internment Barracks Participants will experience the live scenario of being under military discipline for being drunk and disorderly on duty during WWI at Camp Niagara and will attempt to escape. $4,500 Shelley Glica Porchfest Porchfest Niagara Falls is a celebration of music in the community. Porches in the downtown residential area will host musicians on July 24th from 1-4pm. $500 3 R&C-2016-15 October 25, 2016 Marinko Jareb Niagara Falls Arts Walk A public art project consisting of murals by various artists on accessible outdoor space at 5400 Robinson Street in Niagara Falls with designated signage. $2,500 C.D. Onofrio Perpetual Peace Project's Culture Jam The Culture Jam will be a 1 week long musical exploration of synergy and creativity with a focus on creating a hospitable and welcoming environment for artists and audience to partake in the jam or simply listen and be. $2,500 Only two of the projects are complete at the time of this report, however, we have some good early indicators from the organizations putting on the events. Some of the measurements in place show that this funding has provided support for; 78 Public Performances 1240 Participants 38 Artists residing in Niagara Falls were paid for their work 8 Artists residing outside of Niagara Falls were paid for their work 88 Volunteers assisting in putting on the activities 964 Volunteer hours went into the activities $20,767 In-kind support was leveraged by the organizers to put on this event meaning an in-kind return on investment of $3.78 was leveraged for every $1 of investment by the City of Niagara Falls for these two reporting activities. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS This program received $20,000 for granting purposes in 2016. In total, there were 13 requests for the grant totalling $58,400. The Budgetary request for 2017 is for $50,000. This will allow for expansion of the program towards more festivals and events and innovative projects as set out in the Cultural Plan. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City's Recreation & Culture Department has a commitment to provide optimum leisure service delivery in the City of Niagara Falls which enhances the quality of life, health and well-being of our people, our communities, our environment and our economy. 4 R&C-2016-15 October 25, 2016 Recommended by: Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture 12 Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer MW-2016-43 �-� October 25, 2016 Niagararalls REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2016-43 Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization Project— Phase 2 RECOMMENDATION 1. That staff be authorized to engage the services of CIMA+ and O'Connor Mokrycke Consultants and Moon Matz Ltd. to complete the engineering design and contract documents for Phase 2 of the project; and, 2. That an expenditure amount of $365,000 for the engineering be approved, funded from capital reserves; and, 3. That staff be directed to prepare Phase 2 construction cost estimates for Council's consideration in the 2017 Capital Budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide council with an overall update of the Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization Project, outline the Victoria Centre BIA's request to advance the second phase and to seek council's direction. The Victoria Centre BIA (VCBIA) has requested that City staff work to advance the second phase of the Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization Project which focuses on the section of Victoria Avenue from Centre Street to Clark Avenue. The VCBIA has provided the City with a letter (see attachment #1) outlining their requests and preferences in terms of construction periods, business continuity and completion dates for the implementation of this project. Before the second phase of the streetscape work can be implemented, extensive improvements to the existing underground infrastructure will be required. To ensure that these improvements are completed in an effective and cost efficient manner, the design must be completed prior to approval of construction. BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS The first phase of the Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization project is currently under construction with completion expected by early December 2016, weather permitting. October 25, 2016 - 2 - MW-2016-43 The scope of the work for this project includes the replacement of all sanitary sewer service laterals, new curbs, decorative concrete sidewalks, new street lighting and asphalt paving on Victoria Avenue from the Highway 420 Off-Ramp (Falls Ave) to Centre Street. The limits of the second phase of the project have been identified as Centre Street to Clark Avenue. The streetscape component of the second phase is similar to that of the first, however, the underground portion of the work required in the second phase is significantly more substantial and will involve at a minimum the replacement of the existing watermain and water services as well as sections of the sanitary sewer mainline and sewer services. City staff has contracted with Cima+, O'Connor Mokrycke Consultants and Moon Matz Ltd. to provide engineering design and tender preparation for the first phase of the project. The intent for the next phase would be to continue with the same design team in order to leverage the knowledge and experience of those familiar with the project and its challenges. Estimated costs to complete the engineering assignment are $365,000. City staff would also utilize in-house resources wherever possible and available to obtain background information as well as survey and field data in order to assist in meeting the expected project schedules while also maintaining a level of cost-effectiveness and sustainability. As the engineering progresses, City staff will provide council with an update report that will include key project information and requirements such as expected schedules, construction staging, traffic control measures, road closures, potential business impacts, etc. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS In order to advance the second phase of this project outside of the typical Capital Budget Approval process, pre-approval of future funding will be required. Attached is a capital budget sheet. Staff recommends that the funding for the engineering design for the second phase of this project be funded from the capital reserve. The VCBIA has previously committed to contribute funding up to a combined total of $600,000 for the complete implementation of both the first and second phases of this project in their letter dated January 18, 2015, which was included as an attachment to staff report MW-2016-01. In accordance with this funding arrangement, the VCBIA would contribute up to $300,000 for the second phase of the project. It is anticipated that the funding from the BIA will be provided before phase 1 is completed. October 25, 2016 - 3 - MW-2016-43 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This project meets City Council's strategic priority for Economic Growth and Prosperity by investing in Niagara's global brand.

On behalf of the Victoria Centre BIA stakeholders we would like to express our appreciation of the investment into phase one of our streetscaping project. The project started late May of this year, completing the end of November. The updating to our sewer systems, roadways and lighting was a crucial step in providing up-to- date services for existing businesses, along with well lit areas and safe walkways for locals and tourists alike. The Victoria Centre BIA is proud to be the first BIA to invest along with the City to make these necessary changes, but we're not done yet. We have subsequent phases to complete as we make our way down Victoria Avenue toward Stanley. Many businesses anxiously await their turn for upgrades. Simultaneously,the VCBIA General Board has approved the investment for Phase Two of the streetscaping project. This investment is effective immediately out of the current and future budgets to show their financial commitment to see this project through to completion. We've been in many discussions with City staff regarding our next steps. It is anticipated that there will be substantial work needed on the sewer laterals and perhaps a full replacement of the watermain and existing sewers. In order to be pro-active we gave our immediate permission for business inspections this fall. These inspections are necessary in order to determine the underground scope of work and the subsequent procurement of Engineering drawings to build quotes for phase two of the VCBIA streetscaping implementation. On October 25th, City staff will be bringing forward a request to fund the Engineering drawing for phase two of our streetscaping project. We would like to go on record to: 1) Support the request from City Staff to secure the Engineering drawings necessary to acquire proper project quotes for phase two of the Streetscaping Project 2) To ensure that Phase Two of the Streetscaping project for the Victoria Centre BIA gets approved into the 2017 budget as early as possible. The streetscaping project has injected safety, accessibility and neighborhood identity into our area, but we're only%way completed. The project needs to reach its inevitable conclusion to create a consistent cohesive look. ilifton Hili T DISTRICT---- F: Victoria-Centre BIA TopofCliftonHill.com What we've learned! Due to the late approval of the streetscaping project in 2016 we experienced several challenges. The project didn't start until late May which required construction to continue to the end of June. Tourism in Niagara Falls experience a resurgence in visitation that it hadn't seen in decades, resulting in severe traffic congestion along Victoria Avenue along with a dramatic downturn in business for those within the phase one parameters. We all know that the public will take whatever measures to avoid construction and such was the experience for many of the businesses who were cut off from pedestrian traffic during our'high season'. Moving forward we know that approval of Phase Two of the streetscaping project is imperative in order to start construction as soon as possible. We continue to work with City Staff to ensure that take a more pro-active approach for phase two. A staged approach has been developed to reduce impact on business during peak tourism season, and to align with the City's budgetary plans. The plan would be to complete the underground work starting in March and completing in May of 2017, with the subsequent stage, streetscaping,to occur from September to December of 2017. Within the parameters of this staging plan the Victoria Centre BIA is requesting the advancement of the design funding for the underground portion with the intent of requesting the streetscaping funding during your budget deliberations in January 2017. We appreciate your continued support and as always we remain a committed supporter and financial contributor to the project conclusion. Sincerely, Frank LaPenna Chair, Victoria Centre MW-2016-01 January 26, 2016 Niagaraaalls REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council The recommendation(s)wereid� ptedaised p in this report adopted as City of Niagara Falls, Ontario amended by City Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2016-01 Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization Project RECOMMENDATION 1. That the funding for the construction of the Victoria Centre Streetscape Revitalization Project (Phase 1) be referred to the 2016 Capital Budget Review process. 2. That staff include a prequalification process to select a roster of bidders upon receipt of budget approval; and that the financial contribution proposed by the Victoria Centre B.I.A. be accepted as their contribution EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On July 28, 2015, Municipal Works staff provided information to Council outlining the scope and funding requirements for implementing each phase of the proposed Victoria Centre Streetscape Master Plan. At that time the executive of the Victoria Centre BIA (VCBIA) committed to a funding contribution that was consistent with the cost sharing arrangements on other City-initiated streetscape projects. City Council requested more details on the funding and phasing options. The scope of the works identified in the Master Plan requires phasing into five distinct Capital projects (see attachment#1 for Phasing Plan). The VCBIA is requesting that the City commence the construction of Phases 1 and 2 over the next two years (see attachment#2 for Sub-Phasing Plan). The total estimated construction cost for these two phases (including engineering and material testing) is $7.04 million. A cost breakdown was prepared distinguishing those features that would normally be part of a typical infrastructure renewal project (sidewalks, asphalt paving, curbs, etc.) from those features that are more aesthetic in nature (decorative lighting, furniture, finishes, etc.). The VCBIA's share using this analysis works out to approximately $1.24 million or 18% of the project cost for phases 1 and 2. This translates to a contribution of approximately $620,000 per phase. The VCBIA, at their meeting January 6th, 2016, approved a 50% contribution towards its calculated share up to a maximum of$600,000 for phase 1 and 2, conditional on a Spring January 26, 2016 - 2 - MW-2016-01 2016 start. The contract will include specific provisions to complete the work outside the peak tourist season (June 27th to September 12th). The commencement of the project is critical to completing as much as possible once the winter season breaks. Municipal Works staff is sensitive to the request from the VCBIA that the selected contractor have proven experience on projects of this nature and recommend a pre-qualification process be conducted prior to tendering the contract. This project has significant financial implications and for this reason staff is recommending that it be considered in the context of the other investment priorities for the Corporation during the annual Capital Budget deliberations. The purpose of this report is to seek Council's direction and to provide additional details requested at the July 28th Council meeting. BACKGROUND The VCBIA and Municipal Works staff developed a Streetscape Master Plan in 2014 that outlined improvements to their BIA study area. These improvements included; • Accessible decorative sidewalks with minimum clear walking space • Street furniture (benches, waste receptacles, bike racks & planters) • Decorative lighting for roadway and sidewalks • Street trees and landscaping • Gateway features and wayfinding • Attraction and performance space on the Victoria Promenade • Resurfaced roadways with curb and gutter • Public washroom facilities Due to the scope of the improvements being proposed, a phased implementation plan was developed. The phasing plan takes into consideration; priorities of the Victoria Centre BIA, the ability to construct around the peak tourist season, and the functional order of construction. Stakeholder consultation has been an important part of the streetscape master planning process. Council approved funding in the 2015 Capital Budget to advance the engineering design for the proposed phase 1 construction. City staff has contracted with Cima+, O'Connor Mokrycke Consultants and Moon Matz Ltd to provide engineering design and tender preparation. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The VCBIA is a major component area of the City of Niagara Falls' core tourist area. The membership overwhelmingly want construction to occur outside of the high tourist season (Victoria Day to Labour Day annually). This is problematic because this period of time is January 26, 2016 - 3 - MW-2016-01 the prime construction season. This limits construction to approximately 5 months of the year when weather conditions are generally less reliable. Determining phasing limits for work within the Victoria Centre BIA must take into consideration the available construction time. Phases should be sized to be achievable within a spring or fall construction seasons. A contract carry-over of incomplete works through the high tourist season is not desirable. Furthermore consideration must be made for pre-ordering long delivery time elements. Given the tight timeline for construction additional consideration is needed to engage a qualified and experienced general contractor to run this project. The general contractor needs to have a record of success in similar projects. It is recommended that prior to tendering the project a prequalification process for general contractors be implemented. Only those contractors who have prequalified would be allowed to submit a bid as a general contractor. Previous streetscape enhancement projects were dependent on funding from other levels of government to lessen the demand on municipal funds. Funding from other levels of government is not currently available for this project. City staff is recommending that the funding formula for this cost sharing arrangement between the City of Niagara Falls and the Victoria Centre BIA be considered. This agreement covers the added costs incurred by the City for streetscape and public realm improvements beyond the municipal standards. This cost sharing format can be used as a template for all other future cost sharing arrangements with local BIAs for similar projects. The VCBIA has provided justification and rationale for an alternate cost sharing formula in their letter of January 18t , 2016 (see attachment#3). The proposed streetscape improvements will not impact the level of service for Transit Operators. The number of traffic lanes for the corridor will remain the same and the traffic control at each intersection will be unchanged. Staff will monitor the traffic at the future driveway to the HOCO entertainment complex and, if safety or operational issues occur (such as traffic queues extending to the Clifton Hill intersection and/or causing buses to fall behind schedule), staff will recommend that certain movements be prohibited via signage and/or physical barriers. The proposed streetscape project removes the parking lane on the east side of Victoria Avenue alongside the strip plaza as the sidewalk will be widened. Removal of the parking lane could result in a potential loss of revenue to the Parking Fund. Parking revenue from this area currently contributes between 25-30% of the gross revenue from on-street parking. To offset this loss, it is recommended that parking be reinstated in the curb lane outside of the tourist season as one northbound traffic lane would be adequate as well as on-street metered parking side of Walnut Street between Victoria Avenue and Ellen Avenue to help compensate for lost revenues. Parking adjustments to existing on-street January 26, 2016 - 4 - MW-2016-01 parking along Ellen Avenue, Magdalen Street and McGrail Avenue to maximize parking availability would also help in the recovery of revenue. For safety of pedestrians and traffic staff recommends that the parking be removed from Centre Street which is only in place during off season to allow for the safe flow of traffic year round. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The scope of this project represents a significant investment in the City's infrastructure. This investment does not however reduce the infrastructure funding deficit identified in the City's Asset Management Plan. Notwithstanding this fact, this type of project does fit closely with Council's intentions to advance projects that stimulate economic growth through the proceeds of its Contribution Agreement with OLG and by leveraging private investment. At this time, it is premature to commit funding from this or any source without understanding the impacts on the overall Capital Budget. Accordingly, it is recommended that this project should be referred to the Capital Budget Review process so that it can be prioritized with other important investment decisions. It should be noted that the request from the VCBIA includes Council's commitment for multi-year funding. Municipal Works staff is proposing that only funding for Phase 1 be advanced for consideration during the budget deliberations in 2016.

The BIA also generates in excess of 5.2 million dollars in yearly property tax contributions to the City, Region and School boards. Our Board works very aggressively to keep our area essential to tourism by contributing yearly to New Year's Eve,The Winter Festival of Lights,The Scotiabank Convention Centre, Niagara Parks and Niagara Falls Tourism. We started the streetscape improvement process in 2009, hiring the firm of Todhunter&Associates to conduct a complete SWOT analysis of our area and to develop a master plan document to be used as a basis moving forward,We then began working diligently with city staff to get us to this stage and hope we can keep the process moving to the point of getting the shovel in the ground in spring of this year. To date the BIA has invested close to$100,000 in both consulting costs and our contributions to the engineering process. Recently, the Victoria Centre BIA held a meeting on January 6th regarding additional investment towards our street beautification project and we're are happy to confirm the following: VCBIA will pay 50%of the BIA approved premium upgrades to a total combined cap of$600,000 for phases 1 & 2 conditional on a Spring 2016 start. HOCO will also contribute an additional$400,000 to its frontage on Victoria Avenue. Our combined private stakeholder contributions, including costs to dat3 of almost$1,100,000 is unprecedented. The original street improvements to Victoria Ave were done in the early 80's and Ellen Avenue has been virtually untouched. If you've walked our streets recently I'm sure you would agree we are due for some serious upgrades. The original installation using a combination of brick pavers and poured concrete has really been a challenge in maintaining a safe level walkway for our pedestrians.Barriers don't meet minimum standards for wheelchair and other accessibility compliance issues; major cracks,grinding down tripping hazards,and patching repairs done to water, sewer and gas lines over the years has resulted in very unsightly and even dangerous walkways throughout the BIA. Our current hydro cannot support our contributions to the Winter Festival of Lights illuminations. Clifton Hill T. - DISTRICT -- F. Victoria-Centre BIA TopOfCliftonHill.com As a World class destination it is embarrassing that our streets are in this current state. Property standards are so lax that many properties and buildings are in a severe state of disrepair.This project could be the catalyst for some of these property/business owners who are falling behind to step up and embrace the positive change that is needed to breath new life into our area of the tourism district.We feel there is a serious sense of urgency to approve this project as soon as possible in order to meet pre-construction analysis,tendering and other aggressive milestones involved with a project of this scale. On behalf of our members I would ask that you please help us keep our area vital by giving your support to this very important project, and help us do our part to create a streetscape that would exceed the visitor's expectations of a world class destination. We respectfully request that a decision be made no later than the February 9th, 2016 planned budget meeting.

While we don't have a final report or recommendations just yet, the working group felt it would be helpful to provide an update to our local City Councils and to Regional Council on the work that's been done to date and present some of the recommendations that are being considered and further evaluated. There won't be a report or recommendations for approval or consideration on Tuesday, but this presentation will provide information and a look at next steps including public consultation coming up this Fall. At this time the consultants and working group will be seeking feedback from our local Councils (St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland) as well as Regional Council as we evaluate and further develop options and next steps. The slides attached will be presented on Tuesday evening. They are being shared with Council in advance as a courtesy and to help coordinate the distribution of information with other municipal councils which will also be receiving the presentation next week or shortly thereafter. The working group will also be sharing this with local media at a media briefing tomorrow in order to prepare the media with the presentation schedule and update them on how this will roll out to all four councils.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: 2016-38 Monthly Tax Receivables Report— September 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 September 30, 2016 were $22.9 million compared to $24.7 million in 2015. During September, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 27.0% in 2015 to 26.0% in 2016. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2016. At this stage, 89.9% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently eighteen 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 2016 improved during the month of September. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at September 30, 2016 are $22.9 million. This represents a decrease from $24.7 million in arrears for the same period in 2015. 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. 2 F-2016-38 October 25, 2016 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, 2016, 399 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after nine months of activity. This table shows 89.9% of the tax accounts or 359 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During September, nine accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 87.0% (Aug) to 89.9% (Sep). 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 September, five properties were registered and two registered properties were redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 0.90% 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 September 30, 2016 is 26.0% which is a decrease from 2015's value of 27.0%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2016-39 Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of Taxes Under Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes on the various accounts per the attached summary and granted to the property owners listed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Property owners are able to seek remedy from property assessments that are not accurate due to errors in preparation of the Assessment Roll or due to changes in specific circumstances. These remedies are available by virtue of s.357 and s.358 of The Municipal Act, 2001. This report is provided to Council periodically during the fiscal year to attain Council approval of the changes afforded under these sections. This is the second report for 2016. Adjustments totalling $467,994 are being recommended in this report with allocations to be made to City, Regional and School Board revenue. In the 2016 General Purposes Budget, an allowance has been established for these expenditures. At this time the allowance provided in the General Purposes Budget is adequate to account for the City's proportionate share of approximately $163,798. BACKGROUND This report is the second report this year in relation to s.357 and s.358 reductions. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Section 357 and 358 of The Municipal Act, 2001 provides for the cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes for persons who were overcharged by reason of any gross or manifest error in the preparation of the Assessment Roll. Appeals have been received and the applicants have been notified that the respective matters will be considered by City Council this evening. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation has confirmed that the subject properties were assessed incorrectly in that these properties; had structures that had been demolished or 2 F-2016-39 October 25, 2016 removed, were damaged or razed by fire, have ceased to be liable at the rate it was taxed, became exempt, or a transposition, typographical, or clerical error was made. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The 2016 General Purposes Budget provides an allowance for tax write-offs due to assessment appeals and tax write offs. Table 1 is a listing of all the properties that staff is recommending receive adjustments due to successful appeals. An amount of $467,994 in adjustments is listed. The City's approximate portion is $163,798 and has been accounted for in the 2016 General Purposes Budget. The balance of approximately $304,196 represents adjustments for the School Boards and the Region of Niagara. These adjustments will be made as part of the year end reconciliations.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2016-42 2016 & 2017 Cemetery Services Project Information Update and Capital Budget RECOMMENDATION 1 . That Council receives this report for information. 2. That funding to implement the proposed projects identified in this report be referred to the 2017 Capital Budget for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls administers, operates and maintains nineteen cemeteries and one indoor columbarium within its boundaries. Each year, City of Niagara Falls Cemetery Services conducts more than 500 interments at its active, semi active and assorted columbaria (indoor & outdoor). In 2013, Cemetery staff completed the Cemetery Services Delivery Review to assist in the short and long term planning of municipal cemeteries including: revenue generation; customer service; operational efficiencies; and cemetery development. To date, Cemetery staff have implemented, developed and built upon many of the recommendations presented in the Cemetery Service Delivery Review. This report provides a synopsis of the work Cemetery Services staff accomplished in 2016, as well as the proposed 2017 improvements of operations, public safety, and the continued development to increase availability of burial options for residents of Niagara Falls and Region alike. BACKGROUND 2016 Cemetery Projects (Capital & Operating Budgets): A. Fairview Cemetery Renovations (Capital Budget): Over the course of the summer 2016, the Fairview Cemetery Administration/Operations facility, originally built in 1966, has undergone significant renovations. Once complete, the administrative 2 MW-2016-42 October 25, 2016 office spaces will be completely accessible, and where possible, FADS compliant. The operations components of the facility have also been updated to include separate locker and lunch room facilities. It is anticipated that construction, clean up and move in will wrap up by mid to late October. A grand re-opening for Council, staff, cemetery users, and representatives of our local funeral homes and bereavement industry is tentatively being scheduled for Monday, October 31, 2016. B. Lundy's Lane Cemetery Expansion (Capital Budget): With great anticipation, the expansion of Lundy's Lane Cemetery is nearing completion. Sale of lots/plots in the first third of Section H (formerly the Nagy property) will be available by the end of October. Section H is being surveyed and designed to maintain the style and layout of the existing Lundy's Lane Cemetery Sections. In addition to the expansion of cemetery, Cemetery staff were also able to develop an additional 103 lots and 22 cremation lots through redevelopment of an entrance after closing the southern gate entrance on Montrose Road. Since Lundy's Lane has long been in great demand the addition of Section H (approximately 1000 lots) as well as the 125 lots in Section G will be a boon to lots sales in 2016 and 2017. See Attachment 1. C. Fairview Cemetery Section P (Operating Budget): In September 2016, Cemetery Services staff opened Section P which is located in the Northeast corner of Fairview Cemetery. This is the last section available adjacent to Stanley Avenue and has been in demand for some time. Now available are 538 single lots (located at the west end), 807 double plots and 14 triple plots. Additional space has been reserved at the "front" of the section for future columbarium gateway development. Within days of making Section P available to the public, Cemetery staff conducted two burials and had sold eleven lots. See Attachment 2. D. By-Law 2016-24 Approval and Enforcement (Operating Budget): As per the Cemetery Services Delivery Review, and in conjunction with the recently revised provincial legislation, Cemetery staff developed By-Law 2016-24 which was vetted and approved by the newly formed Bereavement Authority of Ontario (January 2016). Revisions to the Cemetery By-Laws focused on recommendations of the BAO through updated Provincial Legislation (i.e. Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act). Further reviews and recommendations were also identified internally, through the Cemetery Services Delivery Review, as well as consideration of previously approved by-laws of other municipal cemeteries by-laws. As per the BAO, notice of the pending By-Laws was posted at the entrance of Lundy's Lane, Fairview and Stamford Presbyterian Cemeteries for a month. In addition, notice was posted in the Niagara Falls Review and City's web page leading. In an effort to educate cemetery users, and to keep them informed of infractions and/or by-law enforcement, Cemetery staff post reminders/notices in the Niagara Falls Review each spring and fall, as well as on the City's web page. In an effort to maintain Cemetery By-Laws, Cemetery staff routinely conduct clean ups of sections throughout 3 MW-2016-42 October 25, 2016 the spring, summer and fall. Beginning in 2016, two weeks prior to conducting a clean- up, Cemetery staff also posted notices/signs around the Section. E. Development of the Ching Ming Festival Area at Fairview Cemetery (Capital & Operating Budget): In co-operation with the Chinese Community, Cemetery Services staff has been working toward the eventual development of an area adjacent to lands designated for the Celebration of the Ching Ming Festival. This area will serve as a remarkable opportunity for the Chinese Community, as approximately 200 lots will be developed directly adjacent to the location of the annual Ching Ming Festival. This development will be completed in house within the operating budget (i.e. cost of corner markers and gateway feature). See Attachment 3. F. Fence Replacement Program (Capital Budget—Year One): In 2016, lengths of fence identified as dangerous and/or unstable at Fairview Cemetery were replaced with black decorative fencing. Cemetery Services also implemented a new standard for fencing at pioneer cemeteries. Many pioneer cemeteries have been left unfenced or surrounded by rotting post and wire fence. Over the course of the summer, contractors installed heavy gauge black vinyl fencing around Weaver and Willick Cemeteries. This was the first year of a proposed five year fencing program which will see the overall security, safety and aesthetic improvement of all municipally owned, operated and managed cemeteries. Anticipated 2017 Cemetery Projects (Capital & Operating): A. Development of a Green Burial Section at Fairview Cemetery (Capital & Operating Budget): Green burials, the "original traditional" burial practice, which has been consistently used in Europe, is once again a growing burial practice in North America. Canada's first green burial section, "Woodend" was developed at Royal Oak Cemetery in Victoria B.C. in 2008. This year, it opened the second phase of the green burial section to accommodate the growing demand. As per the Cemetery Services Delivery Review, Cemetery staff investigated multiple opportunities to develop the City and Region's first green burial cemetery and/or section and it was determined that following the Royal Oak Cemetery model (e.g. opening a green burial section in an existing cemetery) was an ideal starting point. An area once used as the Fairview Cemetery dirt and leaf storage area, has recently been graded and efforts are underway to complete a collaborative large scale tree planting program, combined with the development of a Green Burial Section. In October 2016, after a motion was moved by the Park in the City Committee to use existing Memorial Funds to support the development of a Green Burial Section at Fairview Cemetery, Cemetery Services and Recreation and Culture staff, submitted a grant proposal to Communities in Bloom for approval in 2017, which would fund the initial development of a green burial section including the creation of a memorial entrance way garden, the purchase and installation of communal memorial stone and the planting of approximately 300 large caliper trees. This green burial section would immediately serve as the City and Region's first green 4 MW-2016-42 October 25, 2016 burial area, but would also continue the efforts to increase tree canopy in our green spaces and beautify cemetery grounds. See Attachment 4. B. Visitor & Staff Parking (Capital Budget): In 2017, in an effort to improve safety, security and operational efficiency, Cemetery staff are hoping to complete the major changes to visitor/staff parking at Fairview Cemetery. Staff and the public currently share the limited parking spaces available. Modifying the flow of traffic and public/staff parking available will serve several important purposes in making Fairview more accessible, safer for visitors and staff alike, and more efficient. Limiting, if not eliminating, public (i.e. pedestrian and vehicular) access along the east side of the operations facility, will eliminate safety concerns related to hazards of cemetery machinery/vehicles entering and exiting the garage bays. At present, the area is signed; however walkers and cars often travel through this area as staff is working as there is not an alternative. By separating public and staff parking, as well as opening up the roadway on the west side of the operations facility, we will be able to redirect pedestrian traffic. See Attachment 5. C. Fairview Cemetery Fields of Honour (Capital Budget): On a number of occasions, Cemetery staff have received complaints and comments regarding the condition of the two Veterans Sections (Fields of Honour) at Fairview Cemetery. Veterans and War Dead monuments are to be installed perfectly level at 39 inches. Over time, veteran and war dead monuments have heaved and are no longer level, leaving the area looking uncared for. Each year, Cemetery Services hosts two events to mark and remember the lives of our Veterans and War Dead: the Parade for the Unknown Soldier and Remembrance Day. Each event takes place in the Fields of Honour. As November 11, 2018 marks the 100th Anniversary of World War I, it is the goal of Cemetery Services to demonstrate our respect for those who served and gave their lives for our freedom. A large scale restoration project is proposed for each of the Fields of Honour, to raise, make level and restore each of the monuments. The work would involve removing approximately 200 monuments, pouring a channel foundation and reinstalling the monuments. Ground restoration and the development of an improved memorial garden would also be completed. See Attachment 6. D. Continued Development of Maple Grove Columbarium Garden: With the continued trend toward cremation, and related demand for alternatives, Cemetery Services continues to develop the Maple Grove Columbarium Garden. As per the Cemetery Services delivery review, "the addition of several columbaria at Maple Grove over a ten year period will create an attractive show piece for this increasingly popular interment trend, and allow for greater selection opportunities, thereby increasing pre- need and at-need sales." Given the expansion of Lundy's Lane Cemetery, and the demand for flexibility of options at our active cemeteries, it is also proposed that a selection of Columbarium be installed over an equal period of time, beginning in 2017. 5 MW-2016-42 October 25, 2016 E. Fence Replacement Program (Capital Budget— Year Two): In 2017, the fence replacement program will complete the replacement of old deteriorating wrought iron fencing at Fairview Cemetery. In addition, Dell Pioneer Cemetery will be re-fenced using the new standard (i.e. 4' black vinyl, 6 gauge chain link fence) as established in 2016. Dell Cemetery is currently fenced with rusty and dilapidated post and wire fence. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The following cost estimates relate to the implementation of the proposed 2017 Cemetery Capital Projects: Fairview Cemetery Green Burial Section $ 10,000 Road & Sewer Replacement Program (5 Year Program) $ 250,000/year Fairview Cemetery Fields of Honour Restoration $ 175,000 Visitor & Staff Parking Improvements $ 100,000 Continued Installment of Columbarium $ 150,000 Fence Replacement Program (Year 2 of 5) $ 60,000 Fuel Pump Replacement & Improvement $ 50,000 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of the above noted projects meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by implementing the City's Strategic Plan to provide exceptional Customer Service, Organizational Efficiencies and Effectiveness and Financial Stability.

(Nova) Development Group) Removal of Holding (H) Regulations RECOMMENDATION That Council pass the by-law appearing on tonight's agenda to lift the holding (H) regulation from the subject lands which are currently zoned R4(H)-916, effective on the date of the receipt by the City of the acknowledgement of the filing of the Record of Site Condition (RSC) for the lands from the Provincial Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On August 30, 2010, Council passed a zoning by-law that allows the lands known as 6158, 6174 and 6180 Main Street (see Schedule 1) to be used for a block townhouse development. The applicant has received draft plan approval for a Plan of Subdivision and a Plan of Common Element Condominium to develop the land with 34 townhouse dwelling units. • Council included a holding (H) regulation in the by-law to address any potential contamination of the site before the lands were developed. • The applicant has completed environmental site assessments and filed a Record of Site Condition (RSC), which conclude the site is sufficiently free from contamination for a residential use. • The City is awaiting acknowledgement of the filing of this RSC from the Provincial Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), which is the final step in assessing the property for contamination. • The holding (H) regulation can be lifted from the by-law on the date of the receipt of the above noted acknowledgement because the applicant has satisfactorily completed the necessary studies in accordance with Provincial regulations. 2 PBD-2016-54 October 25, 2016 BACKGROUND Proposal The subject lands were formerly occupied by an industrial use (a Coca Cola bottling plant). In 2016 Council passed Zoning By-law No. 2010-131 to zone the lands General Commercial (R4(H)-916). As the change in use to residential is considered a sensitive use under Provincial regulations, a holding (H) regulation was included in the by-law to require a study be undertaken to demonstrate the land was sufficiently free from contamination. The developer has completed Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Site Assessments and a Record of Site Condition and has requested the holding (H) regulation to be lifted to permit development to proceed. Circulation Comments The Planning Act requires notice of the lifting of a holding regulation to be given to landowners affected by it and any members of the public or agencies that have submitted a written request for notice. In accordance with these regulations, notice regarding the lifting of the holding regulation was circulated to the applicant and the Regional Municipality of Niagara. Regional comments are expected when the MOECC acknowledges receipt of the RSC. ANALYSIS The applicant submitted Phase 1 and 2 Environmental Assessments and filed a RSC with the MOECC. These studies indicate potential levels of contamination are within Provincial standards and state the lands are acceptable for residential use. No further measures are recommended. The City is awaiting acknowledgement of the filing of the RSC from the MOECC. To avoid delaying consideration of the amending by-law to the next Council meeting, the amending by-law has been drafted to come into force on the day the RSC review process is completed (the above noted acknowledgement letter is received by the City). This process will then automatically lift the holding (H) regulation to facilitate the final approval of the related subdivision and the issuance of building permits. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Removal of the holding regulation will allow the development to proceed, as permitted by the Official Plan and approved by Council. 3 PBD-2016-54 October 25, 2016 LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Schedule 1 — Location Map Recommended by: /;/:`` �' `M1 Alex Herlovitch, Director of Planning, Building & Development Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer A.Bryce:mb Attach.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2016-56 PLC-2016-006, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control Lots 20, 39, 40, 47 and 48 and Blocks 58-61 (Inclusive), 63 and 66 Registered Plan 59M-426 Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision Applicant: Mountainview Homes. RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the request and pass the by-law included in tonight's agenda to designate Lots 20, 39, 40, 47 and 48 and Blocks 58-61 (Inclusive), 63 and 66 Registered Plan 59M-426, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of two years. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mountainview Homes has requested that Council pass a by-law to exempt the lands from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership of future semi-detached and on-street townhouse dwellings units. The request can be supported based on the following: • The use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the lots and blocks are located within a registered subdivision; • The zoning permits the proposed parcels sizes; and • The by-law will permit a deed to be created for each parcel containing a dwelling unit and permit each property to be sold. BACKGROUND Mountainview Homes has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from Lots 20, 39, 40, 47 and 48 and Blocks 58-61 (Inclusive), 63 and 66 in Registered Plan 59M-426 known as the Chippawa West Phase 2 - Stage 3 plan of subdivision. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1 . The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to lots and blocks within registered plans of subdivision. In this case, the removal of Part Lot Control is requested to allow the creation of a total of 10 semi- detached dwelling units (Lots 20, 39, 40 47 and 48) and twenty-seven (27) on-street separate parcels for six blocks (Block 58-61 (Inclusive), 63 and 66). Refer to Schedule 2 for further details. 2 PBD-2016-56 October 25, 2016 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The subject lands are located within the Chippawa West Phase 2 plan of subdivision (59M-426) which was registered on July 14, 2016. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for single family detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings and blocks of land for on- street townhouses dwellings. The subject lands are zoned Residential Mixed (R3-760) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2006-205. The proposed parcels comply with the zoning regulations. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt lots and blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control by-law is requested so that each unit in the on-street townhouse dwelling and semi-detached dwelling can be sold with its own parcel of land. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted for two years to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period should be sufficient time to allow units to be absorbed by the market. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As the development charges have already been collected, there are no financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2016-57 DOW-2016-004, Facade Improvement Grant 4663 & 4671 Queen Street Applicant: Zoran Trifkovic RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Facade Improvement Grant Application for 4663 & 4671 Queen Street, subject to the owner satisfying the program requirements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application can be supported because: • the facade improvements will improve the appearance of this building and had previously been supported by Council in 2011; • the facade improvements comply with the City's grant programs; • the façade improvement grant would total $15,000 with the City contributing one half and the Region contributing one half. The funding is available in the Downtown Reserve BACKGROUND The subject building is located on the north side of Queen Street west of St. Lawrence Avenue (See Appendix 1). The building currently houses a restaurant (Café Nautica) and flower shop (Unique Florist). The applicant has applied for a facade improvement grant under the Commercial Building and the Façade Improvement Incentive Program. Facade Improvement Grant The owner wishes to replace the current building face with a stucco finish. In addition roll up doors would be added to the restaurant with a stone veneer finish along the bottom. The improvement would also include a fabricated stucco profile along the roof, a new door to the restaurant and goose neck lamps for both entrances. (See Appendix 2 — Facade Improvement Details). The estimated cost of the outlined works is $34,013. The Facade Improvement Grant provides a total of 50% of the estimates up to $10,000 plus an additional $5,000 grant since the property has a highly visible frontage along Queen Street. If supported, the Façade Improvement Grant would be 50% of the lowest cost estimate. The maximum grant totals $15,000. The City will seek the Region's contribution toward this grant equal to $7,500. 2 PBD-2016-57 October 25, 2016 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The applicant had previously applied under the Commercial Building and Façade Improvement Incentive Program for grants of $11,500 for façade improvements and $9,750 for a roof replacement. In 2011, the applicant completed the roof replacement and received the grant. However the façade improvements, despite two extensions, were never done. The owner has now reapplied for a façade improvement grant. The façade improvements proposed are eligible items under the program. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The funding for this request will come from the Downtown CIP Special Purpose Reserve. The reserve has been established to provide funding for the City's expenses related to non-interest loans and for qualified grants. There are sufficient funds available for the subject application. If approved, the recommended grant, of which the City's portion would equal $7,500, will result in an unencumbered balance of $234,448. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The approval of the applications will satisfy Council's strategic priority by implementing the financial incentive programs within the Downtown CIP and will assist in the ongoing revitalization of the Downtown by assisting the property owner with facade rehabilitation.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2016-13 • Athletic Fields Update RECOMMENDATION 1. To authorize City staff to enter into negotiations with both DSBN and NCDSB to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to build an artificial turf field at AN Myer School and at St. Paul/EE Mitchelson Park. Terms of the MOU to be outlined in a future Council report. 2. And to present a future report to consider the removal of the two multi- purpose fields, installation of two ball diamonds and gravel parking area at Patrick Cummings Memorial Sports Complex/Chippawa Arena. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY January 8, 2013, City Council approved the Parks, Recreation, Arts & Culture Strategic Plan Update, report R&C-2013-01. The five-year plan recommended various athletic field capital projects based on user needs and utilization trends. Recommendations included tennis and basketball court improvements, new play structures at 18 parks, trail development, artificial turf field in the north end of the city and to consider new diamonds and gravel parking lot at Patrick Cummings Memorial Sport Complex. City staff members and community partners are in the process of considering recommendations related to the north end artificial turf field and the recommended improvements to Patrick Cummings Memorial Sport Complex. At the July 12, 2016, City Council meeting, council directed staff to meet with the DSBN and the NCDSB to discuss artificial turf field projects. With the proposed installation of two artificial turf fields the required number of natural fields needs to be evaluated. The two underutilized multi-purpose fields at Patrick Cummings complex can be removed as the needs of the field sport organizations will be accommodated at the new artificial turf fields. User groups support removing the multi-purpose natural fields at Patrick Cummings Sports Complex and to add two new ball diamonds to accommodate Niagara Falls Girls Softball and Slo-Pitch National (SPN). Prior to moving forward with the above projects, staff will coordinate public meetings. 2 R&C-2016-13 October 25, 2016 BACKGROUND With the addition of new athletic facilities and the loss of other community facilities, the City's athletic field inventory has significantly changed over the last ten years. The field sport organizations permit the Kalar Sports Park artificial turf field pre- season and post season. The field's utilization rate Monday to Friday during prime time is approximately 75% during the spring, March to May and 60 % in the fall, October 1 — November 30th. Due to the success of the first field, Niagara United has requested a second turf field be built at Kalar Sports Park. However, the Parks, Recreation, Arts & Culture Strategic Plan Update (2013) recommended a second artificial turf field be built in the north end of the City. Due to the loss of ball diamonds at Optimist Park the ball organizations have requested additional diamonds for regular season and tournaments. Patrick Cummings Memorial Sport Complex is the new tournament headquarters for Slo-Pitch National's six tournament weekends.

If approved, the next step of the public consultation process will be to coordinate public meetings. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE During the Strategic Plan Update process, staff developed site location criteria for future artificial turf field projects. When recommending future sites the following criteria is be utilized: • North end location • Potential partnerships • Availability of funding • Support from stakeholders, community • Proximity to schools to encourage daytime utilization • Range of field sports that can be accommodated • Accessibility to general population, access to transit, area of growth • Existing supporting infrastructure, washrooms/change rooms, seating • Availability of parking, traffic issues • Available lighting, impact of field lighting if required • Geographic distribution of similar artificial turf projects • Geo-technical condition of site, build ready • Size of available site • Land ownership The two proposed artificial turf field projects meet the above site location criteria as both projects are located in the north end, potential partnerships, availability of funding, support from stakeholders and are located at secondary school sites. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The estimated cost to build an artificial turf field is approximately 1 to 1.5 million dollars dependent upon the required amenities. Potential partnerships with both school boards could provide 50% of the required capital budget funding. Approximate cost to remove two multi-purpose fields and to install two baseball diamonds at Patrick Cummings Memorial sport Complex is $1,066,000. 4 R&C-2016-13 October 25, 2016 CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Strategic Priority, A Vibrant and Well planned City, Key Action: Continue to implement the recommendations from the 2007 Strategic Plan for the provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts & Culture.

NUSC has always delivered on its commitments and shared its ' vision with the City of Niagara Falls. We have had a long term plan for Kalar Sports Park and always communicated this with present and previous Senior Staff and Park & Recreation staff. Our Phase One saw the negotiation and purchase of the lands by NUSC with the Roman Catholic Diocese of St Catharines and later transferring our purchase to the city at no cost to form a new city park today known as Kalar Sports Park. Phase Two saw the development of approximately 9 grass soccer fields. Phase Three saw the development of Southern Ontario's first outdoor turf field at Kalar Sports park in which NUSC contributed $500,000.00 which represented half the total cost. Phase Four saw the development of a new Clubhouse in which NUSC was instrumental in setting up a Triple P partnership between the Municipality, Federal and Provincial governments. Phase Five included the installation of a video street sign and a state of the art scoreboard and stadium video screen. Phase Six is the installation of a second turf field which NUSC has presented and met with city staff over approximately the last six years. City staff had indicated that funds were not available and the timing to present to city council was not right. We have recently been made aware that council is considering turf fields in Niagara Falls. So at this time please accept this letter as NUSC continued request for the city of Niagara Falls to put in a second turf field at the city owned Kalar Sports Park.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2016-14 John McCall MacBain Naming Request RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the request to recognize John MacBain and to name the first section of the Millennium Trail, "The John McCall MacBain Pathway". EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the July 12, 2016, City Council meeting, Council composed a motion to recognize John McCall MacBain. To acknowledge his significant financial donations of the McCall MacBain Foundation to the MacBain Community Centre, Family & Children's Services Niagara and millions granted to health, education and environment projects in Canada, Europe and Africa, City staff recommend the naming of the first section of the Millennium Trail (McLeod Road to Lundy's Lane) the "John McCall MacBain Pathway". BACKGROUND John McCall MacBain was born in Niagara Falls in 1958. He was the son of the late Vi and Al MacBain. John attended A.N. Myer High School where he was very involved with sports and the student council. John is a Rhodes Scholar and received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, an M.A. in Law from Oxford University and an Honours BA in Economics from McGill University.

John currently devotes a significant amount of his time to a wide variety of philanthropic activities. He currently lives in Geneva, Switzerland with his wife Marcy. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The purpose of the City of Niagara Falls, Naming and Renaming of Parks Policy is to outline a procedure for the commemorative naming or renaming of parks/open spaces, and component features as part of the acquisition and/or management of these spaces by the City of Niagara Falls. Commemorative Naming refers to the naming of a property in honour of outstanding achievement, distinctive service, or significant community contribution, generally without financial consideration. At the September 26, 2016, Recreation Committee meeting the committee discussed John McCall MacBain's significant achievements and contributions. The committee supported the following motion "To Name the first section of the Millennium Trail, The John McCall MacBain Pathway". The members recommended naming the first section of the Millennium Trail, McLeod Road to Lundy's Lane due to the close proximity to the MacBain Community Centre and the Niagara Falls Family and Children's Services building. As stated in the policy; Council shall approve all names in honour of individuals or groups. Names for consideration shall be those of distinguished persons, organizations, corporations, foundations or families. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS A Recognition Event and sign unveiling will take place on Friday, November 18, 2016, at the MacBain Community Centre. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT A Vibrant and Well Planned City: committed to building and promoting a vibrant, sustainable City that supports an active, connected and creative community. Recommended by: 7/U1-W / Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Respectfully submitted: jiALyti4Lj P Y Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer TS-2016-01 Nia araFalis October 25, 2016 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2016-01 Railway Grade Crossing Regulations RECOMMENDATION For the information of City Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Transport Canada, late 2014, enacted new railway grade crossing regulations, which identifies the responsibilities at road-rail crossings for railway companies and road authorities, such as the City of Niagara Falls. The Grade Crossings Regulations is intended to increase safety at Canada's federally regulated grade crossings and replaces previous federal standards that were voluntary. The regulations and standards are to ensure that railway companies, road authorities and private land owners oversee and manage the safety of their crossings in accordance with prescribed engineering standards. The regulations prescribe that: 1) A road authority and a rail company must exchange certain information within two (2) years of the Regulations coming into force. The timeframe for sharing information must be prior to December 2016. 2) A road authority is responsible to ensure that road geometrics, site lines, signs at each crossing comply with applicable standards within seven (7) years of the Regulations coming into force. The timeframe for carrying out this work must be prior to December 2021. City Staff has completed the first phase for information exchange with both Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP) rail companies. This data primarily consisted of an inventory of the physical characteristics of the road at the crossing i.e., approach grade, travel lanes, pedestrian access, road surface, vehicle speed, vehicle volume, and property line definement. The next phase requires an assessment of each crossing based on the information shared between road and rail authorities and determine what physical improvements on the road must be carried out to comply with the guidelines. Given the scope of the 2 TS-2016-01 October 25, 2016 next phase it is anticipated that a consultant will be engaged to identify the physical works required with an implementation plan and associated cost. The improvements must then be completed by 2021. BACKGROUND The Canadian Government has amended the Railway Safety Act (RSA) by enacting a new regulation entitled Grade Crossing Regulations (GCR) which came into force on November 28, 2014. The primary objective of the GCR is to increase safety at Canada's federally regulated grade crossings and to reduce the incidence of deaths, injuries, property damage and environmental damage. Under the authority of the RSA, the GCR is expected to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents at federally regulated grade crossings. In particular, the GCR is expected to improve safety by: • providing comprehensive and enforceable safety standards for grade crossings; • clarifying the roles and responsibilities of railway companies and road authorities; and, • ensuring that information is shared between railway companies and road authorities. Implementation of previous federal guidelines and rules were voluntary in nature, and had a limited scope regarding the safety measures, operations and best engineering practices required in specific circumstances at grade crossings. There are twenty-one (21) rail crossings that intersect with a municipal road at-grade. They are listed in the attachment. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The municipality is required to comply with the requirements of the Regulations respecting: (i) the design, construction and maintenance of a road approach ie. Approach grade, angle of road etc. (ii) traffic control devices (i.e., signs, signals and road markings), except for the maintenance of a stop sign that is installed on the same post as a railway crossing sign, (iii) the design of a crossing surface, and, (iv) sight lines within the road right-of-way and over land in the vicinity of the grade crossing, including the removal of trees and brush that obstruct sight lines. The Regulations identify specific requirements that must be occur within two (2) years of the Regulations coming into force, as well as seven (7) years of the Regulations coming into force. They are as follows: 3 TS-2016-01 October 25, 2016 Requirements by November 28, 2016 (Two Years from Regulations Coming into Force) A key component of the Regulations is information exchange between the municipality and the rail company that must be occur within two years of the Regulations coming into force. A road authority must provide a railway company, in writing, with the following information in respect of a public grade crossing: (a) the precise location of the grade crossing; (b) the number of traffic lanes that cross the crossing surface; (c) the average annual daily traffic; (d) the road crossing design speed; (e) the specifications to which the road approach corresponds; (f) the width of each traffic lane and shoulder on the road approach; (g) the design vehicle; (h) the stopping sight distance; (i) the average gradient of the road approach; (j) the crossing angle; (k) the applicable departure time for a driver, pedestrian, cyclist or person using an assisted device to completely pass through the clearance distance; (I) the activation time for a Prepare to Stop at Railway Crossing sign; (m) the time used in the interconnection of traffic signals with a warning system; and, (n) an indication of whether the grade crossing includes a sidewalk, path or trail, and if so, whether the sidewalk, path or trail has been designated for persons using assistive devices. A railway company must provide a road authority, in writing, with the following information in respect of a public grade crossing: (a) the precise location of the grade crossing; (b) the number of tracks that cross the grade crossing; (c) the average annual daily railway movements; (d) the railway design speed; (e) the warning system in place at the grade crossing; (f) an indication of whether a Stop sign is installed on the same post as the Railway Crossing sign; and (g) an indication of whether or not whistling is required when railway equipment is approaching the grade crossing. City Staff has completed the required information exchange with both Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP) rail companies. 4 TS-2016-01 October 25, 2016 Requirements by November 28, 2021 (Seven Years from Regulations Coming into Force) The road authority is responsible that the road approach, sight lines, signs and warning devices along each road that crosses a railway complies with applicable standards as prescribed in the Grade Crossing Standards Manual within seven (7) years of the Regulations coming into force. The municipality as the road authority is further required to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Regulations respecting sight lines within the land on which the road is situated and over land in the vicinity of the grade crossing, including the removal of trees and brush that obstruct the sightlines. The amount of clearance depends on drivers approaching a rail crossing without a warning system or coming to a full stop at a rail crossing with a warning system. In either case, a driver must be able to see a certain distance along the tracks to be able to ascertain if a train is approaching and to safely complete a stop before reaching the tracks, or to remain in a stopped position. This visibility triangle requirement does not apply to grade crossings with a warning system that includes a gate. General Requirements - Obstruction of Rail Crossings The Regulations prohibits the obstruction of grade crossings. It states that rail companies are prohibited from leaving railway equipment standing on a crossing surface, or for switching operations to be conducted, in a manner that obstructs a public grade crossing for more than five minutes when vehicular or pedestrian traffic is waiting to cross it. In the case where railway equipment is operated in a manner that regularly causes the obstruction of a public grade crossing (i.e., more than five minutes), including by the activation of a warning system, the municipality can declare in a resolution that the obstruction of the grade crossing creates a safety concern. This would require the railway company and the road authority to collaborate to resolve the safety concern. To initiate the collaboration, the municipality must notify the Minister and the railway company in writing that the resolution has been passed and must provide them with the information used in support of the resolution. The railway company and the road authority must attempt to resolve the safety concern, including through the use of mediation, within 90 days after the day on which the road authority notifies the railway company. The road authority must notify the Minister if the railway company and the road authority are not able to resolve the safety concern within the 90- day period. Notwithstanding the above, the Regulations state that if an emergency vehicle requires passage across a grade crossing, a rail company must take all necessary measures to immediately clear the grade crossing. 5 TS-2016-01 October 25, 2016 Next Steps To complete the second phase it is suggested that a consultant undertake a comprehensive assessment of the 21 road-rail crossings and identify deficiencies based on the data compiled by staff and the rail authority. The intent is to determine what deficiencies exist in relation to the published grade crossing design guidelines and prepare a timetable for improvements with estimated costs to meet the December 2021 deadline. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The estimated cost to procure a consultant to undertake a comprehensive assessment is estimated at $60,000 and will be included in 2017 capital budget. The cost for the physical improvements will be included in future budgets based on an implementation plan.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2016-33 Bender Street at Palmer Avenue Removal of Left Turn Restriction RECOMMENDATION That the left turn prohibition facing southbound motorists on Palmer Avenue at Bender Street be removed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current traffic conditions on Bender Street offer numerous opportunities for Palmer Avenue drivers to be able to safely carry out a left turn onto Bender Street. BACKGROUND Observations were carried out to evaluate whether the left turn prohibition facing southbound motorists on Palmer Avenue at Bender Street can be removed. Bender Street is a collector roadway that extends approximately 300 metres between Victoria Avenue and Falls Avenue. The roadway is commercial in nature with access to various tourist oriented developments, including Casino Niagara, the Skyline Hotel and Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. Bender Street consists of one through lane in each direction, with a dual eastbound right turn lane at the casino entrance and a left turn lane eastbound at Palmer Avenue and westbound at Victoria Avenue. Palmer Avenue is a collector roadway extending north from Bender Street into the downtown. At Bender Street, there is a restaurant located on the northwest corner and a municipal parking lot on the northeast corner. Beyond the Falls Avenue overpass, the remainder of Palmer Avenue is primarily residential. Southbound motorists on Palmer Avenue are only allowed to carry out a right turn at Bender Street. The restriction was previously installed due to the proximity of the intersection and the crossing location of the former CP rail tracks. In addition, the high traffic volumes experienced in the vicinity upon the opening of Casino Niagara justified the restriction to ensure queues did not extend through the intersection. 2 TS-2016-33 October 25, 2016 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The former CP rail tracks have since been removed. A traffic count and general observations were carried out at the intersection and results indicate the restriction may be removed given existing traffic patterns. Some drivers are carrying out a left turn from Palmer Avenue onto Bender Street contrary to the posted sign. The peak hour traffic volumes identify that Bender Street carries less than 500 vehicles compared to 57 drivers on Palmer Avenue. Staff also observed that the queue of Bender Street traffic stopped for the red light at Victoria Avenue does not normally extend into the Palmer Avenue intersection. The current traffic conditions on Bender Street offer numerous opportunities for Palmer Avenue drivers to be able to carry out a left turn onto Bender Street. A visibility review was carried out which identified that Palmer Avenue drivers are able to see approaching traffic in both directions on Bender Street to be able to complete a left turn safely. It is recommended that the left turn prohibition facing southbound motorists on Palmer Avenue at Bender Street be removed given the prevailing traffic conditions. If traffic conditions change in the future, it may be necessary to reinstall the restriction. This can potentially occur if sites are developed or redeveloped in the general area which would increase traffic on Bender Street and result in queues at the Victoria Avenue traffic signal extending beyond Palmer Avenue. In addition, the restriction may be required if there is a significant increase in drivers shortcutting through the neighbourhood to make the left turn from Palmer Avenue onto Bender Street. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The removal of the sign and right turn arrow marking is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour costs are accounted for in the 2016 General Purposes Budget. Studies estimate that the cost to remove the sign and pavement marking is approximately $250.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2016-37 Fourth Avenue — Traffic Operations Review RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Heavy vehicles, including buses, be prohibited on Fourth Avenue north of Bridge Street; 2. The heavy vehicle restriction include an "Up to $5,000 Fine" tab; 3. That the existing speed humps on Fourth Avenue and Hamilton Street remain in place; 4. The driveways to the Gale Centre from Fourth Avenue remain open at this time; 5. Recreation Staff embark on an awareness campaign to notify all arena users and permit holders to use Thorold Stone Road; 6. Transportation Staff monitor the traffic operations for the upcoming season; and, 7. The Gale Centre Access/Multi-Purpose Trail Municipal Class EA be completed taking into account the recommendations in this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The use of the Thorold Stone Road driveway to the Gale Centre has been increasing since it has been open to the public. Recreation Staff will continue to advise arena users that Thorold Stone Road is open and it should be used as the primary driveway. Fourth Avenue residents and stakeholders were provided the opportunity to comment on the traffic operations on their street following the opening of the Thorold Stone Road extension. The public consultation phase garnered a response from 35% of the properties on Fourth Avenue. BACKGROUND Transportation Staff carried out a neighbourhood traffic operations review of Fourth Avenue from Bridge Street to the Gale Centre. Fourth Avenue is a two-lane, two-way local road north of Bridge Street and terminates at the Gale Centre. The road contains a mix residential, service businesses and recreational uses. Traffic signals are present at the intersection of Bridge Street and Fourth Avenue while an all-way stop controls traffic movements at the intersection of Hamilton Street and Fourth Avenue. Fourth Avenue contains four speed humps — one 2 TS-2016-37 October 25, 2016 speed hump between Bridge Street and Fourth Avenue and three humps between Hamilton Street and the Gale Centre. In addition, there is one speed hump on Hamilton Street, west of Fourth Avenue and one speed hump on Hamilton Street, east of Fourth Avenue. Parking is prohibited on the west side of Fourth Avenue between Bridge Street and Hamilton Street as well as on the west side of Fourth Avenue for a 32-metre section north of Hamilton Street. The Thorold Stone Road extension opened to the public on November 30, 2015. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The traffic volumes and percentage of arena users driving on Fourth Avenue have been steadily declining since Thorold Stone Road was available for public use. The table below summarizes the traffic volume before and after Thorold Stone Road was open: Date Fourth Avenue, North of Thorold Stone Road, east of Hamilton Street Stanley Avenue September 2013 2,533 (100%) n/a (0%) December 2015 1,711 (45%) 2,110 (55%) March 2016 1,348 (38%) 2,178 (62%) The percentage of drivers using Thorold Stone Road as opposed to Fourth Avenue has been increasing. Fourth Avenue operates at an acceptable level of service throughout the day. Before the Gale Centre was open in 2009, the traffic volumes on Fourth Avenue north of Hamilton Street were approximately 200 vehicles. Measures are continually being implemented to further reduce the number of vehicles on Fourth Avenue. More recently the advance green at Bridge Street has been removed, larger and additional wayfinding signs have been installed on Thorold Stone Road and the address of the arena has been changed to Thorold Stone Road whereas now navigation devices direct motorists to the arena via Thorold Stone Road. It is the intention of staff to periodically monitor the traffic volumes on Fourth Avenue. Speed data collected on Fourth Avenue indicates that drivers are travelling below the 50-km/h speed limit. This may be attributed to the series of speed humps that drivers must traverse north and southbound on Fourth Avenue. Between Bridge Street & Hamilton Street Northbound 43 km/h Southbound 35 km/h Between Hamilton Street & Gale Centre Northbound 36 km/h Southbound 35 km/h At the onset of the study, Staff solicited the input of residents through a questionnaire. Of the 39 questionnaires delivered, a response was received from 10 residents/business owners, representing a 26% response rate. Many respondents felt that the traffic operations have not changed on Fourth Avenue since the Thorold Stone 3 TS-2016-37 October 25, 2016 Road extension was opened. Two respondents identified that they do not want any changes, while constructing some form of a closure to prevent drivers entering and/or exiting the Gale Centre was identified by the remaining eight respondents. A neighbourhood public meeting was held on June 28, 2016 at the Gale Centre to allow interested persons the opportunity to review the results of the questionnaire, technical data and Staffs preliminary recommendations for Fourth Avenue. The meeting was attended by five (5) persons from three households. Staff provided an overview of the study at the meeting and answered questions from the attendees. A comment form was distributed to the attendees. The open house material and comment form was posted on the City's website for those to who were unable to attend the open house, but wished to provide comments. Comments were received from an additional two (2) homeowners on Fourth Avenue. The overall response rate is 35%. Transportation and Recreation Staff met to discuss and address concerns that were raised through the consultation phase. The Gale Centre street address has already been changed from 4171 Fourth Avenue to 5152 Thorold Stone Road. The map to the Gale Centre on the City's website has been recently updated to direct arena users exclusively to the Thorold Stone Road access. Recreation Staff will embark on a season long campaign to advise arena users that Thorold Stone Road is the main entry, as they noted some users were not aware of it last season. This will be accomplished through information posted on the City's website, attaching an information notice to the permits that are issued, displaying posters in the Gale Centre and through customer service ambassadors. At this time, due to the low response rate, in addition to the majority of arena users entering/exiting the Gale Centre via Thorold Stone Road, Staff is recommending that no action be taken to prevent drivers from entering/exiting the Gale Centre from Fourth Avenue at this time. It is noted that the Gale Centre sign alongside Fourth Avenue is a relatively small ground sign compared to the pylon sign at the Thorold Stone Road entrance, cannot be seen from Bridge Street that may attract persons to use Fourth Avenue, and is not illuminated. Shortly after Thorold Stone Road was extended, the Niagara Region removed the eastbound left turn advance on Bridge Street at Fourth Avenue. This advance was put in place on a temporary basis to clear queues that would typically be generated with traffic headed to the Gale Centre. The removal of the left turn advance makes using Fourth Avenue less desirable as drivers wishing to turn left are not given priority. Also, some of the popular vehicle navigation software programs have changed their routing algorithm to direct all traffic to/from the Gale Centre only from the Thorold Stone Road driveway, even if their origin is in the downtown district. Given that Thorold Stone Road is the primary access to the Gale Centre which has been constructed to accommodate all vehicle types, it is recommended that heavy 4 TS-2016-37 October 25, 2016 vehicles including buses be prohibited on Fourth Avenue between Bridge Street and the north limit of Fourth Avenue. The signs will be augmented with "Up to $5,000 Fine" tabs to further deter heavy vehicle operators from using Fourth Avenue. No responses were received regarding removing the speed humps. Thus, Staff is recommending that they remain in place. Residents on Fourth Avenue were informed of Staff's recommendations through a letter and no comments were received. Thorold Stone Road is scheduled to be extended to the Victoria Avenue and Bridge Street intersection at some time in the future. Once this extension has been completed it is suggested that traffic operations on Fourth Avenue be re-evaluated as traffic patterns may be impacted. Furthermore, should the speed humps on either Fourth Avenue or Hamilton Street be removed, traffic patterns should be reassessed as the removal of the speed humps from one street may directly impact the neighbouring street. The Gale Centre Access/Multi-Purpose Trail Municipal Class EA was temporarily placed on hold pending the outcome of the preferred traffic control devices on Fourth Avenue. Upon approval of this report the EA may be completed for the preferred trail design. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the heavy vehicle restriction is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2016 General Purposes Budget. Installing the signs is estimated to cost approximately $1,500. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

The traffic volumes and percentage of arena users driving on Fourth Avenue has been steadily declining since the opening of the Thorold Stone Road extension on November 30, 2015. The table below provides a summary of the traffic volume data collected before and after Thorold Stone Road was available for public use: Date Fourth Avenue, North of Thorold Stone Road, East of Hamilton Street Stanley Avenue September 2013 2,533 (100%) n/a (0%) December 2015 1,711 (45%) 2,110 (55%) March 2016 1,348 (38%) 2,178 (62%) Fourth Avenue operates at an acceptable level of service throughout the day. Drivers are proceeding on Fourth Avenue well below the 50 km/h speed limit which may be attributed to the series of speed humps along Fourth Avenue. A motor vehicle collision problem does not exist on Fourth Avenue. The study included a public consultation phase which first consisted of questionnaires residents and stakeholders were asked to provide input on regarding existing conditions and to make suggestions on their preferred traffic management strategy for Fourth Avenue. A public open house held at the Gale Centre on June 28, 2016 to provide persons the opportunity to view the study results and preliminary staff recommendations. Follow-up input was sought as identified in the open house notice. Overall, the public consultation phase garnered a low response rate from the community. /over Working Together to Serve Our Community Transportation Services Ext 5214 Fax 905-356-5576 jgrubich@niagarafalls.ca rte_. e _: Pik1P k Box 1023 Niagara Falls,ON,Canada L2E 6X5 905-356-7521 wwtiv.niagarafalls.ca 2 Given the foregoing, City Staff will be recommending the following: 1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Drivers will not be permitted to carry out a u-turn movement on Dorchester Road at the Optimist Square. BACKGROUND A concern was received that drivers are making u-turns (northbound to southbound) beyond the median island on Dorchester Road to access the Optimist Square. Drivers are prohibited from making a left turn on Dorchester Road to the driveway for the Optimist Square. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE It is recommended that a u-turn prohibition be installed facing northbound motorists on Dorchester Road at the end of the median island next to the Optimist Square. U-turns would be prohibited at and near the location of the posted sign. Enforcement is through the Niagara Regional Police. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the sign is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour costs are accounted for in the 2016 General Purposes Budget. Studies estimate that the cost to install the sign is approximately $250.

They made the semi-finals in each of the five tournaments that they participated in. Apart from the OBAs, the Falcons captured tournament victories in St. Thomas in May and North Tonawanda, NY in August. The climax of the season, of course, came in London, on Labour Day weekend where this team won all six games in convincing fashion, particularly the last two games where they achieved mercied scores — 11-1 versus Vaughan and 10-0 versus Cambridge. This victory represents the second straight OBA championship for this group of talented ballplayers.

On the Friday afternoon the Falcons opened the double elimination tournament against the host Markham team. The Falcons pitchers and defence combined for a no-hit 12-0 win. Saturday morning had the Falcons facing a tough London Tecumseh team and were on the losing end of a hard fought 6-4 decision. This put the Falcons on the losing side of tournament draw and facing multiple elimination games to fight their way back to the championship game. Saturday afternoon saw the Falcons outlast the North Toronto team in a high-scoring game, 18- 11, and move on to face Peterborough in the night game. Peterborough was unable to match the Falcons great pitching and powerful offence, and fell to the Falcons 15-2. Sunday morning brought the semi-final game pitting the Falcons against a tough Tecumseh team. Outstanding pitching and tight defence lead the Falcons to a 5-2 victory and a berth in the tournament finals. In the finals the Falcons again faced the London Tecumseh team that had handed them their only tournament loss. The London team had not lost a game and the Falcons would therefore have to defeat them twice to capture the tournament championship. In the first game of the finals the Falcons offence exploded to quick lead and held off a late surge by Tecumseh for a 15-8 victory and set the stage for one final game to determine the tournament champion. . . . /2 A Great City ... For Generations To Come -2- In the final game the Falcons offence continued where it had left off in the first game while their pitching continued to frustrate the London team.

That is when Mr. Gagliardi realized that immediate action was required. He dove into the water with all of his work clothes on. He positioned himself behind the person in trouble and proceeded to tow the person to shore. Both Police and EMS were very quick to recognize that the actions taken by Mr. Gagliardi made huge difference as to how this could have turned out.

Last Thursday,a two-person roads and general maintenance crew were doing their normal clean up in the area when one of the workers was alerted to a young woman yelling for help along the shoreline,said John Morocco,operations superintendent for the city. "Apparently,this individual had been swimming off the dock with a friend or two,got himself in trouble,then obviously panicked and fatiguE his friend who was trying to save him,"said Morocco."His friend had to back off and try and get back or else we would have had two of the in the water in trouble." That's when one of the crew members,Joe Gagliardi,dove in with all of his work gear on,and "smartly swam up and got in behind the individual and put an arm around his neck and towed him to shore,"said Morocco. He said they were about 45 feet out. Morocco said by the time the individual was brought to shore, he was"pretty much in distress." He said paramedics and police were called and they were"pretty quick to credit(Gagliardi)with changing how that certainly would have turned out." The man who Gagliardi saved was 22-year-old St. Catharines resident Travis Pickett. Pickett said he and two friends decided to swim across from one side to the other. About three quarters of the way across, Pickett said he looked around and saw his one friend swimming back to shore because he didn't think he could do it. Pickett said his leg started to cramp up. "I was like, 'oh,this isn't good,' but I was a little egotistical at first. I was like,'nah, I'm gonna be fine, I can do this with my arms.' "Then I realized that wasn't possible." Pickett said he looked over to his friend and asked for help. "He said, 'swim over to me: He and I basically got from the opposite side of the canal almost back to the shore,and then he just didn't hay( any more energy and I was going under a couple times here and there." Pickett said someone threw a lifejacket in the water, but he couldn't get to it. "A city worker jumped in and he was the one the actually helped me on to the shore. Everybody there was honestly like the only reason I'rr still here." Pickett said as he was bobbing in and out and breathing in some of the water,"I thought I was done. "(The lifejacket)was like 15 feet away from me,and I'm like, 'this is how I'm going to die, I'm going to die with a lifejacket that close,"'he sa "The worst part about it is my girlfriend is eight months pregnant, so I got a kid on the way,and that was running through my head. I said. '1' going to die doing something stupid as opposed to being there for my kid.' "It was terrifying." Pickett said he wants to talk to Gagliardi and thank him for saving his life. Morocco said Gagliardi is a "pretty shy guy"and didn't want to be interviewed for this story. "It was pretty heroic. He went in with all his gear, including his weighted boots,"said Morocco."I mean he's a strong kid,and for him to do that and be able to swim out and get this individual and tow him into shore with all his gear on,is incredible. "He realized time was of the essence.There was no time to strip down.To him,a couple of seconds,this guy was going under and he'd to sight of him,and that would have been the end of that." Morocco said when Gagliardi made it back to the service centre later that day,"all the guys were congratulating him and saying, 'job well done.' "He was not only calm and cool about it,he was very low-key. He came in and was like matter of fact. He came in and he said, 'Can I go home and change?' We were like,yeah,we're all good with that." Niagara Regional Police Insp.James McCaffery said Gagliardi's"selfless act"played a role in preventing a tragedy. "The water conditions in that area are treacherous with currents and can be perilous," he said."His actions in this incident demonstrate the best qualities of a human being and a representative/employee of the City of Niagara Falls." Coun.Wayne Thomson,who heard of the incident,said he's going to contact the mayor's office and ask to have Gagliardi recognized at a future council meeting. rspiteri@postmedia.com n 0 3 E C Z n D 0 z Dean Iorfida From: Steven Soos <green_steve@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2016 9:38 PM To: Dean Iorfida; Bill Matson; CouncilMembers Subject: Re. Animal Abuse at Skyway Animal Hospital Hello Clerk, Deputy Clerk, Mayor, and Council, I am writing today to ask for a deputation at the October 25th, 2016 council meeting in regards to a presentation about the recent animal abuse at the Skyway Animal Hospital. Last night, I spoke at Welland City Council to support a harsher penalty for animal abuse. I had been in support of Welland Councillor Rocky Letourneau's motion that reads: THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WELLAND directs Legal to send a letter to the Attorney General of Ontario and College or Veterinarians of Ontario and ask for a more severe penalty for animal abuse by veterinarians. This motion passed unanimously, and this was the follow-up http://www.wellandtribune.ca/2016/10/05/welland-council-wants-harsher-penalties-for-animal-abusers I was hoping that Niagara Falls could introduce a similar motion, as Welland has done. I understand that this event happened in St. Catharines, but I am sure all of you agree that it is everyone's responsibility to speak out against these tragic events. Councillors have an important role to play in the protection of animals, since they do in fact implement animal service by-laws enforced by the Humane Society. The more municipalities that ban together, the better the chances are to get justice for the victims (pet owners and animals). On social media in the Review, the news story already has some very substantial shares, so this is a well supported issue. So with that being said, I hope one of the councillors will be willing to bring this motion forward. Once again, I would be very happy to speak at the next council meeting, and assist however I can to get results. I am very informed on the issue, and it is an issue that means a lot to me, and the people of Niagara Falls and Niagara Region. I look forward to your respective responses. For those who prefer phones, I can also be reached at 9057349838. Thank-you so much everyone, All the best, Steven Soos.

Steven Soos Outraged over the treatment of animals by a St.Catharines veterinarian,Welland city councillors have added their voices to the lobby calli for more severe punishments for animal abusers. Following an emotional presentation by former Niagara Falls federal Green party candidate Steven Soos,councillors approved a motion b Ward 5 Coun.Rocky Letourneau to send a letter to the College of Veterinarians of Ontario and the Ontario Attorney General asking for mot severe penalties for animal abuse by veterinarians or anyone else. Soos said the Aug.20 penalty against Dr. Mahavir Singh Rekhi for professional misconduct,which included a$10,000 fine as well as a 10 month suspension that could be reduced if Rekhi takes retraining,"is unacceptable and unsatisfying to the victims involved." "How does a fine to the college and a suspension deliver justice to these victims?"Soos asked."He still gets to practise,and he still won't have to face the walk of shame toward courthouse doors. It's not enough." Soos said it takes a "very sadistic individual"to harm a defenceless Chihuahua,and went on to describe in detail some of the graphic footage captured by a group of former employees of Skyway Animal Hospital where Rekhi practised. "This man should be banned from working as a veterinarian, he should have his licence revoked,and he should be subject to criminal charges for animal cruelty.This man should be put in jail for what he has done." While introducing his motion, Letourneau said pets are "family members and we ought to treat them as such." As a pet owner,Ward 4 Coun. Pat Chiocchio said he is the voice of his animals. "They are like family. If anyone touches my animals I get very upset,"he said. Although Letourneau's motion initially asked for more severe punishments only for veterinarians,Ward 2 Coun.Leo Van Vliet successfully amended the motion to apply to anyone guilty of animal abuse. 'Why not abuse by everyone?"he asked."Certainly,this isn't an isolated case.' The motion was approved unanimously. In addition to the letter from the City of Welland,organizations including Niagara Action for Animals and Brock Students for Animal Liberati have organized protests in response to what they consider too lenient punishments for the veterinarian's actions. There are online petitions calling for Rekhi's licence to be suspended.One petition,at Change.org, had 51,906 signatures,while another petition at thepetitionsite.com was signed by 19.729 people as of Wednesday afternoon.
