I understand that this is a topic that has much controversy surrounding it, I am strongly asking that this topic be addressed at the next upcoming council meeting. I feel our city should be doing more in regards to the public tree section in our bi laws. I find it very hard to comprehend why someone is able to grow a tree directly on a properly line and when that tree becomes an issue to neighbouring properties that it is acceptable. The bi laws only state, that you are able to trim up a properly line. This leaves me asking how am I responsible for someone else's tree when I am not the owner of the tree. I have heard many stories, and I am sure council over the years has also heard many more I would imagine. I have made this very clear in my last letter to the deputy clerk, that the way the bi laws stand now is definitely not enough. I am asking council to think of the many situations where someone, may not own or have ownership of a tree coming onto their property, but are expected to maintain this tree, or be forced to take on maintenance, when it should not be their responsibility. I feel new bi laws should be put into place to create a more effective way of dealing with these types of situations. I am making it very clear that I do enjoy the beauty that trees have to offer us, and I am not asking that trees be cut down in future to implement new bi laws. I am strongly asking that the owner of a tree should have full responsibility for a tree they own on their property, and all the maintenance that comes with it. I am asking that the issues surrounding private trees in the municipality of Niagara Falls be looked at and addressed. I am asking for council to have a discussion to see what can be done, to help these types of issues happening throughout our municipality.

Significant Accounting Policies - continued (b) Basis of accounting - continued (ix) Employee future benefits The Municipality provides defined retirement and other future benefits to specified employee groups. These benefits include pension, health care benefits, dental benefits, future paid sick leave benefits, retirement gratuity, workers' compensation and long-term disability benefits. The Municipality has adopted the following policies with respect to accounting for these employee benefits: (1) The costs of self-insured retirement and tether employee future benefit plans are actuarially determined using management's best estimate of salary escalation, accumulated sick= days during employment and at retirement, insurance and health care cost trends, disability recovery rates, long-term inflation rates and discount rates. The cost of retirement gratuities are actuarially determined using the employee's salary, banked sick days and years of service and management's best estimate of discount rates. Any actuarial gains and losses arising from changes to the discount rate are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of the employee group. See note 9 for changes to the accumulated sick leave plan. For self-insured retirement and other employee future benefits that vest or accumulate over the periods of service provided by the employees, such as health care benefits for retirees or retirement gratuities, the cost is actuarially determined using projected benefits method prorated on service. Under this method, the benefit costs are recognized over the expected average service life of the employee group. For those self-insured benefit obligations that arise from specific events that occur from time to time, such as obligations for workers' compensation, long-term disability and life insurance and health care benefits for those on disability leave, the cost is recognized immediately in the period the events occur. Any actuarial gains and losses that are related to these benefits are recognized immediately in the period they arise. (2) The costs of multi-employer defined pension plan benefits, such as the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System pensions, are the employer's contributions due to the plan in the period.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City's auditors, Crawford, Smith & Swallow, has completed the audit of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016. This report is the presentation of those statements for Council's review and endorsement. The statements are presented in draft form so that Council can approve them. The statements will then be finalized and published. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls is required to have an annual audit conducted by a qualified accounting firm to meet its obligations legislatively and for the banking covenants. The City has engaged Crawford, Smith & Swallow to perform the audit and they have issued an opinion on the financial statements. In addition to the statements, the auditors have reviewed the City's Financial Information Return (FIR) submission to the Province of Ontario. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS The audited Financial Statements are attached for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Transportation Services Department TS -2017-36 Booth Street — Parking Review Post Implementation RECOMMENDATIONS For the information of City Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TS -2017-36 November 28, 2017 In August 2017, Council approved the installation of `No Stopping' restrictions along Booth Street during school arrival and dismissal periods along with zero tolerance enforcement. The restrictions have created a safer environment for children along Booth Street and have prevented drivers from continuing to damage the boulevard. The implementation of the recommended no stopping restriction is, first and foremost, a safety matter. Parking Enforcement staff have been present on Booth Street providing handouts (attached in Appendix A) to parents educating them on the meaning and location of the posted restrictions as well as provide information on alternate parking opportunities in the area. The focus of the first month had been education and not enforcement, taking into consideration new parents and children to the school environment that may not have been there the previous year. The education process will now be followed up by regular enforcement. To date the program has significantly reduced the use of this area and illegal parking activities. Following implementation of the restrictions, Staff have received concerns by a small number of parents who previously utilized Booth Street for pick-up / drop-off activities. Staff coordinated a meeting to discuss and attempt to mitigate the three (3) parent's specific concerns. Staff also reinforced the safety justification for the restrictions and provided additional information regarding the `Safety Before Convenience' Program. To date, no additional concerns or complains have been received by Staff. Conversely, a number of requests for additional enforcement along Booth Street have been received. Cardinal Newman School continues to experience congestion and delays within its internal driveway facilities. Multiple users are competing for the same space and all are required to circulate through the driveway, exiting onto Beaverdams Road. Cardinal Page 67 of 458 2 TS -2017-36 November 28, 2017 Newman School and the Niagara Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) have initiated the planning and budgetary processes to develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate these operational issues. Furthermore, City Staff have also collaborated with the School and Board to develop short and long term recommendations to improve the School's internal facilities and overall safety. BACKGROUND Historically, parents parking on Booth Street created safety issues for motorists and children as well as damaging the grass boulevards. Booth Street is one of the main accesses into the subdivision which serves over 500 residences. Safety issues include children crossing in between parked vehicles, restricted access into/from the subdivision and visibility for motorists. These issues are exacerbated in the winter time when snow drifts reduce lane widths and during rain events with motorists vying for the closest parking space available. Alternate parking locations such as on Orchard Grove Parkway continue to be available for parents should they choose to pick up/drop off their children on the street in lieu of on school property. The City of Niagara Falls takes safety issues seriously and has adopted a "safety over convenience" philosophy in school areas. In September of each new school year, Parking Enforcement staff are present on Booth Street and provide handouts to parents educating them on the meaning and location of the posted restrictions as well as provide information on alternate parking opportunities in the area. The focus for the first month had been education and not enforcement taking into consideration new parents and children to the school environment that may not have been there the previous year. The education process is then followed up by regular enforcement. In previous years, the program had not curbed the use of this area and illegal parking continues to be a concern for safety of the area. In August 2017, Council approved the installation of `No Stopping' restrictions along Booth Street during school arrival and dismissal periods along with zero tolerance enforcement. No Stopping signs were subsequently installed to coincide with the start of the new school year. The restrictions have created a safer environment for children along Booth Street and have prevented drivers from continuing to damage the boulevard. The implementation of the recommended no stopping restriction is, first and foremost, a safety matter. Ample parking locations such as on Orchard Grove Parkway continue to be available for parents should they choose to pick up/drop off their children on the street in lieu of on school property. Staff in collaboration with the Principal from Cardinal Newman School have provided notification (via School Newsletter) of the new restrictions to all parents. Following the implementation of the no stopping restrictions, Staff received concerns by a small number of parents who previously utilized Booth Street for pick-up / drop-off activities. Staff coordinated a meeting to discuss and attempt to mitigate these parent's specific concerns. Staff also reinforced the justification for the restrictions and provided Page 68 of 458 3 TS -2017-36 November 28, 2017 additional information regarding the `Safety Before Convenience' Program. To date, no additional concerns or complains have been received. Conversely, a number of requests for additional enforcement along Booth Street have been received. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE As a result of the new restrictions, additional parking demands have been placed on Orchard Grove Parkway and on the schools internal facilities. Throughout the years, the school has carried out several enhancements to the property to better serve parents dropping/picking up their children. The school purchased additional property extending to Beaverdams Road and the parking lot was expanded. At the same time, the internal lot configuration was designed with a kiss and ride configuration to allow for a controlled and safe solution to pick up and drop off their children. Cardinal Newman School continues to experience congestion and delays within its internal facilities. Multiple users are competing for the same space and all are required to circulate through the driveway, exiting onto Beaverdams Road. Cardinal Newman School and the Niagara Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) have initiated the planning and budgetary processes to develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate these operational issues. Furthermore, City Staff have also collaborated with the School and Board to develop short- and long-term recommendations to improve the School's internal facilities and overall safety. These recommendations are noted below: Immediate (Completed October 2017): ✓ School has staggered bus arrival times to allocate additional space in the driveway for kiss and ride operations. ✓ School has coordinated an early dismissal for students departing via the first round of buses and the ELKP Programs to allocate additional space in the driveway for kiss and ride operations. ✓ School will continue to supervise the driveways operations and enforcing no stopping within the Fire Lane, to improve circulation. ✓ School will continue to provide regular notifications to parents via the School's newsletter regarding parking restrictions, appropriate parking locations, restricted locations (i.e., fire lane, bus loading zones), and kiss and ride operations. ✓ NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff reviewed and enhanced the pavement markings within the school property including: school bus loading zones, kiss and ride, vehicle lanes and no parking zones. (Example illustrated in Appendix B) ✓ NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff have conducted a signage review on the school property. Page 69 of 458 TS -2017-36 November 28, 2017 Fall 2017: NCDSB in collaboration with City Transportation Staff will redesign the Schools internal facilities, including: bus loading and kiss and ride zones, parking facilities, driveway circulation and entrance. NCDSB to conduct the necessary planning and budgetary processes to allow for the construction activities at Cardinal Newman School to occur during the summer of 2018. Summer 2018: Construction/Completion of School Improvements. Lastly, Municipal Works Staff will be carrying out works this Fall to include a sub drain to improve drainage, shoulder rehabilitation and asphalt road patching. Until a sewer separation is completed, there is very limited rehabilitation that can be completed. This work is scheduled to be completed by early -November. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with Staffs recommendations. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi -modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW -2017-48 St. John's Marsh Drain Project Final Engineer's Report RECOMMENDATION 1. That City Council adopt the Engineer's Report on the St. John's Marsh Municipal Drain prepared under the authority of Section 78 of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17. and further, 2. That the City gives two readings to the by-law (provisional) which will initiate the appeal process. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In August of 2015 Council authorized the appointment of Spriet Associates to update the Engineer's Report on the St. John's Municipal Drain. On site meetings and notifications were conducted in accordance with the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1980 Construction is anticipated to begin mid -2018 in a joint project with the Town of Fort Erie. The Drainage Engineer estimates the cost of works, which in turn is assessed to all landowners within the tributary area. Final assessment will be calculated once construction of the drain is complete. The purpose of this report is to consider the passing of the provisional by-law (two readings) will initiate the appeal process with the mandated scheduling of the Court of Revision. Once all appeals are settled, a third reading of the by-law will be necessary prior to initiating the tender and construction phase of this project. Page 74 of 458 2 BACKGROUND MW -2017-48 November 28, 2017 Willow Road, which is under the jurisdiction of the Town of Fort Erie, also represents the municipal boundary between the Town of Fort Erie and the City of Niagara Falls. St. Johns Marsh Drain was initially constructed in 1921 by the Town of Willoughby (Niagara Falls) in partnership with the Town of Bertie (Fort Erie). Original records show the drain started in the Town of Willoughby and flowed into the Town of Bertie where it eventually made its way to a sufficient outlet. The appointment of Spriet Associates on February 13th, 2014 was made under the pursuant to Section 8 of the Drainage Act. A reappointment of Spriet Associates under section 78 of the Drainage Act was approved by Council on August 25th, 2015. As part of this reappointment anew Engineer's Report was prepared in lieu of the outdated report on record for the St. John's Marsh Drain which already has Municipal Drain status. The Engineer's report addresses the portion of St. John's Marsh Drain from Netherby Road to approximately 400m north of Willow Road. The Town of Fort Erie passed a bylaw on April 24th, 2017 covering the portion of the St. John's Marsh Drain from Netherby Road south to the outlet at Black Creek Municipal Drain. Spriet Associates held an onsite meeting November 3 d, 2015 for landowners within the watershed area. A public meeting was held on July 25th, 2017 allowing land owners the opportunity to discuss the preliminary design, estimated drain costs and assessments. Spriet Associates Engineers & Architects filed their Engineer's Report on November 1st 2017. Notification of Council Consideration was sent out to Public Agencies, Utility Companies, Road Authorities as well as property owners within the watershed. Notification included a copy of the Final Engineer's Report. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Once drains are established, it is incumbent on the local municipality to complete regular maintenance that ensures it performs as expected. Local Municipalities are responsible to maintain and repair portions of an existing municipal drain that pass through its boundaries. Pursuant to the Drainage Act, the passing of the provisional by-law (two readings) will initiate the appeal process with the mandated scheduling of the Court of Revision. Once all appeals are settled, a third reading of the by-law will be necessary prior to initiating the tender and construction phase of this project. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Drainage Engineer estimates the cost of works, which in turn is assessed to all landowners within the tributary area. In determining the landowners assessment, the Drainage Engineering considers factors that contribute to the land's flow generation to the improved watercourse such as land area, topography, soil type and land use as well as length of drain improvement benefitting the lands. The City's assessment is based on road allowances that benefit from the proposed downstream drainage work. Page 75 of 458 3 MW -2017-48 November 28, 2017 The estimated net assessment costs are summarized in Schedule C of the report. Final assessment will be calculated once construction of the drain is complete. Funding for this project will be included in the 2018 Capital Works Budget. A funding request in the amount of $55,700 will be advanced as part of the 2018 Capital Budget deliberations. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's strategic priorities to establish infrastructure investment opportunities and to strengthen and promote economic development within the City including alternative service delivery models. 11.19101 WeTA a Ie[d: 1 k l:I ki I V 1.

JOHNS MARSH DRAIN 2017 City of Niagara Falls To the Mayor and Council of the City of Niagara Falls Mayor and Council: London, Ontario November 1, 2017 We are pleased to present our report on the reconstruction of the St. Johns Marsh Municipal Drain serving parts of Lots 26 to 29, Second Cross Concession in the Town of Fort Erie, and Lots 8 to 13, First Cross Concession and Lots 1 to 3 in Concessions 4 and 5 in the City of Niagara Falls. The total watershed area contains approximately 480, hectares. AUTHORIZATION This report was prepared pursuant to Section 78 of the Drainage Act in accordance with instructions received from your Municipality with respect to a motion of Council in accordance with Section 8 of the Drainage Act. HISTORY This portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain was last reconstructed pursuant to a report submitted by C.A. Grassie, Eng., dated July 29, 1948 and consisted of a cleanout of the entire drain from the Black Creek Marsh Drain up to its head in Lot 11, First Cross Concession. Previous to this report, a report was issued by G. Ross, dated September 17, 1921. This report provided for repair and improvement of the entire St. Johns Marsh Drain. More recently the downstream portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain, located in the Town of Fort Erie, had a report filed submitted by N. Morris, P.Eng., dated April 8, 2016. The work calls for 1,884 meters of ditch cleanout, installation of a Newbury Weir, and installation of erosion protection. The work will commence at the Black Creek Marsh Drain and terminated at Netherby Road. EXISTING DRAINAGE CONDITIONS A site meeting was held November 3, 2015 with respect to the project and through later discussions, the following was reported: • that the Drainage Superintendent for the City of Niagara Falls indicated that they needed an updated report to perform maintenance on their portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain • that Dave Maiden, the Drainage Superintendent for the Town of Fort Erie, indicated that an updated report was issued for their portion downstream of Netherby Road, with construction anticipated to take place during the summer of 2018 Page 79 of 458 2 EXISTING DRAINAGE CONDITIONS (cont'd) • the landowner, D. & C. White (Roll No. 4-219) indicated that their lands were subject to frequent flooding with flows from Willow Road and from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (N.P.C.A.) lands in the north portion of their property • the landowner, D. & C. White (Roll No. 4-219) also indicated that the drainage in their property has degraded steadily over the years and is no longer the productive farm land as it once was • the landowner, D. Belme (Roll No.55-307-01 and Roll No. 4-216), indicated that the drain was located on both of his properties. He currently has no issues with the drainage in his lands and would prefer that no work be done • a representative from the N. P.C.A., which owns Roll No. 4-167, indicated that work would not be required in their lands as their property was part of the Willoughby Marsh • the N.P.C.A. also indicated that they preferred the water level in their property to remain elevated and requested a Newbury Weir be installed on the edge of their lands at station 0+950. • the landowner, N. Sauer (Roll No. 4-101), indicated that his lands drain south to Baker Road and would prefer that the drain be extended to Baker Road • LCA Environmental was hired to investigate the project from an environmental perspective and noted that there were no concerns as the proposed work is outside of the identified wetland area Preliminary design, cost estimates and assessments were prepared and an informal public meeting was held July 25, 2017 to review the findings and preliminary proposals. Further input and requests were provided by the affected owners at that time and at later dates. Based on the proposed design it was decided to proceed with an updated Section 78 report for improvements as well as an updated schedule of assessment and maintenance schedule. DESIGN CRITERIA AND CONSIDERATIONS All of the proposed work has been generally designed and shall be constructed in accordance with the DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES FOR WORK UNDER THE DRAINAGE ACT. RECOMMENDATIONS We are therefore recommending the following: • that the existing open channel from Netherby Road, north up to the N.P.C.A. lands, be cleaned out for a total length of 950 meters to provide an improved outlet for drainage of adjacent and upstream lands • that the ditch banks be reconstructed to 2:1 slopes where necessary • that the excavated material be levelled adjacent to the drain • that the working space be cleaned and grubbed of trees, brush and scrub, where necessary, for machine access to complete work on the ditch and to level material Page 80 of 458 RECOMMENDATIONS (cont'd) • that a Newbury Weir be installed at the upper end of the drain (Sta 0+950) in the N.P.C.A. property (Roll No. 4-167) to maintain water levels in their wetland • that the existing 1948 St. Johns Marsh Drain in the N.P.C.A. lands (Roll No. 4-167) upstream of Sta. 0+950 be officially abandoned from municipal status pursuant to Section 19 of the Drainage Act ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES There are significant wetlands and sensitive areas within the affected watershed area of the drain. The proposed construction of the St. Johns Marsh Drain includes a Newbury Weir to maintain water levels. We are also recommending that the following erosion and sediment control measures be included as part of our reconstruction proposal to help mitigate any potential adverse impacts of the proposed drainage works on water quality and fishery habitat: • timing of construction is to be only at times of low or no flow • a temporary flow check of silt fencing is to be installed for the duration of the construction at the bottom end of the ditch cleanout • a cleanout of the ditch bottom only has been specified so that the existing bank vegetation is not disturbed. However, where the existing banks are unstable, or may become unstable, they are to be resloped and seeded as noted on the plans • a 3 meter wide buffer strip of existing vegetation between the top of the bank and any cultivated lands on the west side is to be incorporated as part of the drain • all work is to be completed from the north and west sides of the ditch where possible. Any natural vegetation, brush, trees, etc. that exist on the unaffected sides of the ditch, especially the south side, should be retained to provide shade and cover It is to be noted that both the existing and newly vegetated banks as well as the existing natural and newly created buffer strips along each side of the ditch are permanent parts of the St. Johns Marsh Municipal Drain and shall not be disturbed or destroyed. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK The proposed work consists of approximately 950 lineal meters of open ditch cleanout including a Newbury Weir structure Page 81 of 458 4 SCHEDULES Four schedules are attached hereto and form part of this report, being Schedule 'A' - Allowances, Schedule 'B' - Cost Estimate, Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction, and Schedule 'D'- Assessment for Maintenance. Schedule 'A' -Allowances. In accordance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Drainage Act, allowances are provided for right-of-way and damages to lands and crops along the route of the drain as defined below. Schedule 'B'- Cost Estimate. This schedule provides for a detailed cost estimate of the proposed work which is in the amount of $ 76,600.00 This estimate includes engineering and administrative costs associated with this project. The estimated cost in the Town of Fort Erie is $34,200.00 and the estimated cost in the City of Niagara Falls is $42,400.00. Schedule 'C'- Assessment for Construction. This schedule outlines the distribution of the total estimated cost of construction over the roads and lands which are involved. Schedule 'D'- Assessment for Maintenance. In accordance with Section 38 of the Drainage Act, this schedule outlines the distribution of future repair and/or maintenance costs for portions of, or the entire drainage works. Drawing No. 1, Job No. 213172 and specifications form part of this report. They show and describe in detail the location and extent of the work to be done and the lands which are affected. ALLOWANCES DAMAGES: Section 30 of the Drainage Act provides for the compensation to landowners along the drain for damages to lands and crops caused by the construction of the drain. The amount granted is based on $2,200.00/ha. for open ditch work with excavated material levelled adjacent to drain. This base rate is multiplied by the hectares derived from the working widths shown on the plans and the applicable lengths. RIGHT-OF-WAY Section 29 of the Drainage Act provides for an allowance to the owners whose land must be used for the construction, repair, or future maintenance of a drainage works. For open ditches, the allowance provides for the loss of land due to the construction provided for in the report. The amounts granted are based on the value of the land, and the rate used was $18,532.00/ha. When any buffer strip is incorporated and/or created, the allowance granted is for any land beyond a 1.8 meter width deemed to have always been part of the drain. For existing open ditches, the right-of- way to provide for the right to enter and restrictions imposed on those lands, is deemed to have already been granted. Page 82 of 458 ASSESSMENT DEFINITIONS In accordance with the Drainage Act, lands that make use of a drainage works are liable for assessment for part of the cost of constructing and maintaining the system. These liabilities are known as benefit, outlet liability and special benefit as set out under Sections 22, 23, 24 and 26 of the Act. BENEFIT as defined in the Drainage Act means the advantages to any lands, roads, buildings or other structures from the construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of a drainage works such as will result in a higher market value or increased crop production or improved appearance or better control of surface or sub -surface water, or any other advantages relating to the betterment of lands, roads, buildings or other structures. OUTLET liability is assessed to lands or roads that may make use of a drainage works as an outlet either directly or indirectly through the medium of any other drainage works or of a swale, ravine, creek or watercourse. In addition, a Public Utility or Road Authority shall be assessed for and pay all the increased cost to a drainage works due to the construction and operation of the Public Utility or Road Authority. This may be shown as either benefit or special assessment. ASSESSMENT A modified "Todgham Method" was used to calculate the assessments shown on Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction. This entailed breaking down the costs of the drain into sections along its route. Special Assessments and Special Benefits were then extracted from each section. The remainder is then separated into Benefit and Outlet costs. The Benefit cost is distributed to those properties receiving benefit as defined under "Assessment Definitions", with such properties usually being located along or close to the route of the drain. The Outlet Costs are distributed to all properties within the watershed area of that section on an adjusted basis. The areas are adjusted for location along that section, and relative run-off rates. Due to their different relative run-off rates, forested lands have been assessed for outlet at lower rates than cleared lands. Also, roads and residential properties have been assessed for outlet at higher rates than cleared farm lands. The actual cost of the work involving this report is to be assessed on a pro -rata basis against the lands and roads liable for assessment for benefit and outlet as shown in detail on Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction. If any additional work is required to the drainage works due to the existence of buried utilities such as gas pipe lines, communications cables, etc, or if any of the utilities require relocation or repair, then, the extra costs incurred shall be borne by the utility involved in accordance with the provisions of Section 26 of the Drainage Act. Page 83 of 458 GRANTS In accordance with the provisions of Section 85 of the Drainage Act, a grant may be available for assessments against privately owned parcels of land which are used for agricultural purposes and eligible for the Farm Property Class Tax rate. Section 88 of the Drainage Act directs the Municipality to make application for this grant upon certification of completion of this drain. The Municipality will then deduct the grant from the assessments prior to collecting the final assessments. MAINTENANCE Upon completion of construction, all owners are hereby made aware of Sections 80 and 82 of the Drainage Act which forbid the obstruction of or damage or injury to a municipal drain. After completion, the portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain located within the City of Niagara Falls shall be maintained by the City of Niagara Falls and the portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain located within the Town of Fort Erie shall be maintained by the Town of Fort Erie at the expense of all upstream lands and roads assessed in Schedule 'D' - Assessment for Maintenance and in the same relative proportions until such time as the assessment is changed under the Drainage Act.

Ba CLEARING AND GRUBBING Prior to commencement of work, all trees, scrub, fallen timber and debris shall be removed from the side slopes of the ditch and for such o distance on the working ide so as to eliminate any interference with the construction ofthe drain orthe spreading ofthe spoil. The side slopes shall be neatly cut and cleared flush with slope whether ornot they affected directly b the excavation. With the exception nflarge stumps causing damage iothe drain, the sideo|opeshall not begrubbed. All other cleared areas shall begrubbed and the stumps put into piles for disposal bythe owner. All trees or limbs 150mm (6") or larger, that it is necessary to remove, shall be considered as logs and shall be cut and trimmed, and left in the working width separte from the brush, for use or disposal by the owner. Trees or limbs less than 150mm in diameter shall be cut in lengths not greater than 5 meters and placed in separate piles with stumps spaced not less than 75 meters apart in the working width, for the use or disposal of the owner. In all cases, these piles shall be placed clear of excavated materials, and not be piled against standing trees. No windrowing will bepermitted. The clearing and grubbing and construction of the drain are to be carried out in two separate operations and not simultaneously edthe same location. BA EXCAVATION The bottom width and the side slopes of the ditch shall bathose shown onthe profile drawing. Unless otherwise specified onthe drawings, only the existing ditch bottom is\obecleaned out and the side slopes are not to be disturbed. VYhena existing side slopes become unstable because ofconstruction, the Contractor shall immediately contact the Engineer orSuperintendent. Alternative methods ofconstruction and/or methods of protection will than be determined, prior to continuing the work. Where an existing drain is being relocated or where a new drain is being constructed, the Contractor shall, unless otherwise specified, strip the topsoil for the full width of the drain, including the location of the spoil pile. Upon completion of levelling, the topsoil shall be spread to an even depth across the full width of the spoil.

HECTARES OWNED PBD -2017-41 November 28, 2017 Niagarafalls <;n:x wan REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD -2017-41 AM -2017-013, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6410 Orchard Avenue Proposal: Duplex Dwelling Applicant: Giura Bros. Inc. RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone 6410 Orchard Avenue a site specific Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone, as outlined in this report, to permit the existing single detached dwelling to be converted into a duplex dwelling. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Giura Bros. Inc. (John Giura) has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for 6410 Orchard Avenue. The application requests the property be rezoned to a site specific Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone to permit the existing single detached dwelling to be converted into a duplex dwelling. The amendment is recommended for the following reasons: — The proposal is a form of residential intensification promoted by the Province; — The Official Plan permits duplex dwellings on Residentially designated lands that are located on local roads such as Orchard Avenue; — The conversion of the existing single detached dwelling into a duplex dwelling will have no measureable impact on the surrounding neighbourhood; and — The requested R2 zone is appropriate because it permits duplex dwellings. The reduced frontage is acceptable because the required parking can be provided on- site, the existing dwelling provides appropriate setbacks for the use and the property has ample amenity space for the additional dwelling unit. BACKGROUND Proposal Giura Bros. Inc. has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for an 887 square metre (9548 square foot) parcel of land known as 6410 Orchard Avenue. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the land. The zoning amendment is requested to permit the existing single Page 128 of 458 PBD -2017-41 November 28, 2017 detached dwelling on the property to be converted into a duplex dwelling. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposed development. The property is zoned Residential Single Family 1 E Density (R1 E), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, which does not permit a duplex dwelling. The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to the Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone, with a site specific lot frontage provision to recognize the existing lot frontage, to permit the proposed conversion. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The property is occupied by a two storey dwelling, with some mature trees and a shed. The lands to the north and west are occupied by single detached dwellings. There are also some low rise apartment buildings to the north-west that front onto Murray Street, and a few duplex dwellings north of Murray Street. The lands to the south and east are part of a hydro transmission corridor. Circulation Comments Information about the requested Zoning By-law amendments was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies, and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara — No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. Garbage collection will be available for a second dwelling unit. • Building Services — No objections to the rezoning. All Building Permits are to be obtained prior to construction. Further assessment will be completed when the necessary application is made for a Building Permit. • Municipal Works, Legal Services, Parks Design — No objections to the rezoning. • Surrounding Businesses/Property Owners Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on October 16, 2017. No neighbours attended to hear about the proposal or to provide comments. Page 129 of 458 3 ANALYSIS Provincial Policies PBD -2017-41 November 28, 2017 The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. These policies direct municipalities to facilitate residential intensification by directing 40% of all residential development to Built-up Areas. The conversion of a detached dwelling into a duplex is a form of intensification promoted by the Province. Approximately 36% of the residential development that has occurred in the City so far this year has been in the Built-up Area. The requested change will assist in achieving more residential development in the Built-up Area. Official Plan The subject property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. Single and semi-detached dwellings, townhouses and other compatible housing forms (i.e. duplex dwellings) up to a maximum density of 40 units per hectare are permitted to locate on local roads. Orchard Avenue is a local road. Such housing is to be of a height and massing and provide setbacks that are in character with the surrounding neighbourhood. The proposal meets the requirements of the Official Plan as follows; - The proposed duplex dwelling is at a density of 23 units per hectare, well within the expected density on a local road; - The neighbourhood contains a compatible mix of housing types, including single detached dwellings, duplex dwellings and apartment buildings. The addition of a duplex dwelling to this neighbourhood will enhance the housing mix and the choices available to residents; and The existing dwelling is compatible with surrounding dwellings. It's conversion into a duplex dwelling will have no measurable impact on the surrounding neighbourhood. Zoning By-law The property is current zoned Residential Single Family 1 E Density (R1 E) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The R1 E zone permits single detached dwellings, home occupations, group homes and accessory buildings and structures. The request to have the zoning of the property changed to the Residential Single and Two Family (R2) zone is appropriate because it permits duplex dwellings. The property's lot area, 887 square metres, exceeds the minimum lot area of 600 square metres required for a duplex dwelling. One departure from the standard regulations of the R2 zone is required to allow the property to be occupied by a duplex. The minimum lot frontage required for a duplex dwelling is 18 metres whereas the property has a frontage of 15 metres. Page 130 of 458 4 PBD -2017-41 November 28, 2017 The lesser frontage is acceptable because the dwelling provides the required setbacks from lot lines, generous landscaped open space and space to provide an additional parking space in the front yard. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The additional dwelling unit may provide new tax assessment for the City. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This proposal does not impact any of the City's strategic commitments.

Council adopt the proposed amendment for the GO Transit Station Secondary at a future meeting. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff is recommending adoption of the GO Transit Secondary Plan. Secondary planning for the GO Transit stations in Grimsby, Lincoln, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls was initiated by Niagara Region in collaboration with the respective lower tier municipalities in early 2016. The Secondary Plan is part of the overall initiative that will bring GO Transit to the region starting in 2021. Since that time, Regional staff has addressed Council on two occasions, most recently this past September. In addition, a number of public consultation sessions and stakeholder meetings have occurred so as to obtain input on the Plan, as recently as October. The Plan provides policies respecting land use, transportation and municipal infrastructure improvements, urban design and implementation tools. A more thorough discussion of the Plan and the process to adoption follows in this report. BACKGROUND The extension of daily GO Transit service to Niagara has been envisioned since the completion of the 2011 GO Transit Environmental Study Report: Niagara Rail Service Expansion. In 2016 the Province announced that daily service would be extended through Niagara with service starting in Niagara Falls in 2023. Prior to this announcement and in anticipation of the expansion, Niagara Region, in collaboration with its respective lower tier partners, initiated in 2015 a series of secondary plan studies for each of the station locations: Grimsby, Lincoln, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Page 134 of 458 PBD -2017-40 November 28, 2017 THE SCONDARY PLAN PROCESS The studies and the resultant secondary plans have been undertaken by a consulting team headed by Dillon Consulting.

'And PubVWN umMmp, AK JIf..W�A f':j The diagram above illustrates the secondary planning process for the transit stations. At each step in the study there has been consultation with the public and stakeholders. In this way, the Secondary Plan that is being considered for adoption has been developed throughout with public input. In addition, Regional staff has presented information to Council along the way. THE SECONDARY PLAN The Secondary Plan that is before Council is a 20 -year vision for the Plan Area and provides a policy framework that will guide development to achieve the vision. More specifically, the Plan contains a number of key components • Vision and guiding principles for the Plan Area; • A land use plan; • A comprehensive set of policies related to the specific land uses, urban design, transportation and implementation; • Building height strategy; • Public realm improvement policies; and • Transportation and active transportation plans. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is the concept that underpins the Plan. TOD is a planning approach to long-term growth around transit stations and along transportation routes. The Provincial Growth Plan provides a policy direction to intensify residential and employment uses around transit stations in order to lessen auto usage and to Page 135 of 458 3 PBD -2017-40 November 28, 2017 maximize the number of transit users within walking distance of the stations. The vision is to create a sustainable and livable pedestrian -oriented community in proximity of a transit station. Vision There five components achieve to the Vision are 1. Concentrate mixed use intensification in proximity to the transit station. 2. Strengthen residential neighbourhoods — to limit and reduce land use conflicts over time. 3. Support tourist commercial uses along River Road. 4. Celebrate, conserve and enhance the historic and cultural assets of the Downtown. 5. Comprehensively improve the public realm — specifically in gateway locations, the creation of public spaces and prominent streets and by adding multi -use trails. Land Use The Plan Area covers an area of approximately 800m from the VIA Rail Station — 800m is considered a 10 minute walk for most people. The Land Use Plan (see Appendix 1) illustrates the Plan Area and the land use designations. The key elements of the Land Use Plan and policy framework are to: 1. Focus higher density in the vicinity of the GO Transit Station. 2. Transition from higher densities in the Downtown to lower densities in the surrounding neighbourhoods so as to protect the character of these neighbourhoods. 3. Maintain and strengthen the Tourist Commercial lands along River Road, north of Bridge Street. 4. Provide for a long-term approach to the redevelopment of former industrial lands. Building Height Strategy The Official Plan currently has a height strategy for the Downtown. The Secondary Plan includes a Building Height Strategy (Appendix 2) for the Plan Area which refines and modifies the current strategy by: Allowing for additional height in proximity to the GO Transit Station. Building heights will be lower along River Road and west and south of the Transit Station Area. By limiting building heights along Queen Street, between Erie Avenue and Crysler Avenue, so as to protect the heritage character of Queen Street. 3. To transition height from higher to lower to protect surrounding neighbourhoods. Page 136 of 458 4 PBD -2017-40 November 28, 2017 4. Policies providing for a step -back building design to reduce the effect of building height on pedestrians. Planning for the Public Realm Appendix 3 illustrates the plan for improvements to the public realm. Key improvements include: 1. A Major Gateway at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Bridge Street that will provide for a "sense of arrival' to the area. 2. A Minor Gateway at Erie Avenue and Bridge Street that will coincide with a public space opposite the Transit Station as well as improvements to Erie Avenue which will also act to create a sense of arrival for visitors and commuters alike. 3. Streetscape improvements that include wider sidewalks, lighting and street furniture. Planning for Transportation The GO Transit Station will be the major transportation hub in the City. Commuters and visitors using GO Transit; connections will be available for City buses and Wego; inter- city buses and Amtrak will also use the station for customers and connections. In light of this, the Plan (see Appendix 3) will provide for: 1. Improvements to the road network to allow for better traffic flow and access to the GO Station. 2. Active transportation (pedestrians, cyclists) connections are proposed that will fill out the existing network and provide for connections to River Road and Downtown. 3. Widening roads to that provided for in the Official Plan. Urban Design The Plan contains urban design policies, the basis of which is protection of the pedestrian realm and that area is redeveloped at a human scale. In order to achieve this: Public realm improvements will include public spaces and parks as well as constructing roads to accommodate pedestrian, cyclists and motorists. Although tall buildings will be permitted in proximity to the GO Station, a step -back form is required with podium bases brought the street. This is the same design principle that has been used in the tourist core. 3. Multi -use trail connections are planned in the Plan Area that will connect to the GO Station and the Downtown and River Road. Page 137 of 458 5 Implementation PBD -2017-40 November 28, 2017 Implementation of the secondary plan will occur not only through the application of policy when private development applications are made, but also through the construction of capital works — for example streetscaping will be constructed as part of a servicing contract. The Plan contains a phasing plan for these capital improvements and is attached as Appendix 4. Examples of short-term works (<5 years) include the Thorold Stone Road extension as well as streetscaping and bike lanes along Bridge Street. Examples of mid-term (5 to 10 year timeframe) works include signalization at Buttery Street and Victoria Avenue and development of a gateway feature at River Road and the Whirlpool Bridge/Bridge Street. CONCLUSION Staff is recommending the adoption of the GO Transit Station Secondary Plan. The Plan will provide the vision and policy framework that, over a 20 -year timeframe, will result in substantial investment and redevelopment in the Plan Area. The next steps in terms of planning implementation will be the preparation of amendments to the Zoning By-law to align the area's zoning with the Secondary Plan. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The extension of GO Transit into Niagara Falls is a substantial investment which should act as a catalyst to redevelopment in the Plan Area. The Secondary Plan will facilitate this redevelopment resulting increased assessment revenue.

Qfparticular concern is the proposed walking/cycling/peclestrian routes along our current tractor trailer routes. (wa|kinO/stro||ering/babies/cycling isnot cnmpat}b[ewith heavy transport traffic for the obvious reasons). Foundries also have strict environmental compliance requirements, which include nurestaurants uses within | think it is 500 feet of the facility, and other like restrictions which makes me question the compatibility of this La»tly, the land around our foundry bheavily contaminated, I/wmhave aclean environmental report for our property, but it is well known the environmental condition of some of the neighbour property. Iamoverall pro'6eve|opmemtand ifmycosts tomove and relocate are properly compensated for; | will not stand in the way of a reasonable and managed development of this site; but we have a significant investment and employ 35 people with 35 families in the area; and I cannot agree to a whole sale clestruction of their place of work. But can accept a compensation package that allows us to move this facility into a better location that is compatible with it's use and needs, and this will take months to years to transition out of this area. Soxveneed toobject until we see a workable plan that keeps our business operating and the 35 families employed. My managers will be attendance of this meeting, and we welcome more information in advance, so we can ask meaningful questions atthis Public Meeting.

I am submitting this submission and request, on behalf of my client, Milka Radoicic, the owner of 4499 Ferguson Street. She isasking for achange iothe zoning ofthis two storey property from Neighbourhood Commercial tnMedium Density. The property |sowned hyher company. Currently these premises are operated as the Belleview Tavern, a licensed establishment with nine single rooms on the second floor. These rooms are rented onaweekly and monthly basis. The current Go Station Plan Review documents show a Medium Density zoning for the adjacent properties located at 4479 Ferguson and 4473 Ferguson. 4479isatwo storey sixp|ex. This building replaced two single family bungalows. 4473 |satwo storey d�up|ex. These two properties are also owned bymyclient. |n1a74,when this entire parcel of contiguous properties was purchased by my client and her late husband, Petar, it was zoned Neighbourhood Commercial. The respective side yards, back yards and laneways were and are being utilized for the mutual benefit of all the properties. The whole parcel is an amalgamation of several lots and the current use is consistent with a Medium Density Zoning. My client's intention is to increase the available housing stock of affordable housing within the catchment of the proposed Go Station. The exodus of light and heavy industry and the virtual extinction of any commercial uses, beyond the River Road corridor, has been anongoing remorseless long term trend. Many of the former mixed use commercial/residential properties such as appliance repair shops, barbershops variety stores, woodworking shops (Artcraft Kitchens started across the street) and institutional uses such as schools and churches have been converted toresidential uses. The list of industries that no longer exist in the area is lengthy and runs the gamut from Burgess Battery to Scobie Transport and somuch |nbetween. Realistically there will be no resurgence or industrial renaissance in Silvertown. Alternatively, my client would be amenable to retaining a commerciail ground floor zoning as long as a medium residential use isalso permitted inthat location and omthe adjoining lands. This would be achieved by either building a new structure on the existing footprint or adding floors.

Municipal Works recommended that the City consult The Niagara Parks Commission (hereinafter referred to as "NPC") given the close proximity of NPC lands. The proposal was circulated to NPC and NPC confirmed it had no objections. The Planning Department had no concerns with disposing of the Subject Lands but noted that the Subject Lands would not comply with the requirements of the Rural zone and as such, any sale of the Subject Lands should conditional upon the Subject Lands merging with the abutting land owners' lands. The proposal has also been circulated to local utility companies for comments. Both Hydro One and Niagara Peninsula Energy confirmed that they have no objections. An abutting land owner commissioned an appraisal of the Subject Lands from Ridley & Associates Appraisal Services Limited who provided an estimated market value of $6,000.00 as of September 15, 2016. Public notice of the permanent closure and declaration of surplus of the Subject Lands was given in the November 16, 2017 issue of the Niagara Falls Review in accordance with the City's By-law No. 2003-02. It should be noted that following Council approvals in 2006 and 2007, the City permanently closed, declared surplus and ultimately conveyed (2010) a northerly portion of this road allowance to The Niagara Parks Commission. These lands are shown in blue on the attached location map. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Subject Lands can be combined with the abutting lands to create a much larger parcel allowing for the construction of a residential development, thereby providing housing and increasing the tax base. Page 157 of 458 3 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS L-2017-29 November 28, 2017 Disposing of the Subject Lands will relieve the City of all maintenance costs, together with any potential liability. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed transaction is in keeping with Council's commitment to customer service excellence, organizational efficiency and effectiveness, and the creation of a well- planned City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY February 14, 2017, City Council approved the City's 2017 capital budget. One of the approved projects was the development of a new facility that would accommodate a new Cultural Hub and Farmers' Market space in the Main & Ferry area. The first step to develop the new facility was to conduct a stakeholder and community consultation. The City hired dtah to consult with the community, conduct seven stakeholder meetings and an online survey to collect ideas for the direction of the facility. The study, conducted in two phases (community consultation and concept plan), included market, operational, financial, economic and social impact analyses of a multi -use facility that may house spaces for exhibition space, farmers market, administrative offices, classrooms/studios/presentation/rehearsal spaces, public spaces and green spaces. This type of facility would promote collaboration among cultural entities and provide efficient use of existing and new resources in our community. The consultant, dtah has implemented this work. Two public meetings were conducted to develop a concept that includes a cafe, artist studio, tool library, learning spaces, a market hall and a robust landscape that can accommodate public art, events and other shared public spaces. Page 160 of 458 2 BACKGROUND R&C-2017-16 November 28, 2017 These initiatives originated from two separate reports to Council. In March 2008, it was recommended that Council proceed with a new Farmers' Market facility to replace the current building. At the November 17, 2008, City Council meeting, PD 2008-88 Council approved moving forward with a new Market facility, however, that project was put on hold at that time. As well, City Council on April 28, 2015, received the City of Niagara Falls Culture Plan that included the need to create a Cultural Hub for the community. With these two plans in mind, it was determined that a joint facility that could utilize land already in ownership of the City and create a space that meets the needs of both user groups. The location in the Main & Ferry area is tied to the Cultural Plan intentions to put emphasis on two districts within the City when it comes to Culture — Main & Ferry and Queen Street. With the Farmers' Market being located in Main & Ferry currently, with the acquisition of property on Main Street with the support of the local BIA and with the potential synergy that having this complex connected to the Niagara Falls History Museum, the Cultural Plan identified this area as being a preferred location for a Cultural Hub. The next steps of the project include; developing full architectural drawings, developing a business plan, operations plan and branding for the site/area. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In order to provide access to healthy food and farm to table opportunities, a building to replace the current Farmers' Market is much needed. At the same time, the lack of community places that are dedicated to creation, ideas and arts presentation in the city are lacking. The proposed facility will be a place where arts, arts creation and the community can come together and create. Providing for a more engaged, involved and vibrant community. The concept presented today for the Niagara Falls Cultural Hub/Farmers' Market proposes highly adaptable and durable interior and exterior spaces that reinforce Main & Ferry as a vibrant, all -season cultural precinct in the heart of Niagara Falls. Interior spaces will accommodate a range of modes and uses, and connect directly to the outdoors - animating the adjacent public spaces both day and night. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Final capital budget costs to be determined when the detailed architectural and related business/operating studies are completed this spring. Budget will also include costs to demolish the existing market building. Once the final budget cost is determined a report will be presented to City Council for its information and approval. Page 161 of 458 3 R&C-2017-16 November 28, 2017 An operations plan, business plan and branding package will be required to ensure that it operates efficiently, effectively and cohesively while contributing to a vibrant community. Currently, some dialogue has started with potential partners to assist in the operations of the facility. Proposed time line to begin construction for the new facility is Spring 2019. 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.

The facility is to include built-in flexibility to maximize the range of uses and its appeal to various groups, patrons and visitors. To assist in the planning for the facility, a comprehensive engagement program was implemented to, broadly defined, solicit input to help shape what the Cultural Hub and Farmers' Market could look like, what it will include, how it might function, design elements and so forth. More specifically, the outreach focused on: • Identifying great (and not so great) existing Cultural Hub and Farmers' Markets — and the attributes typically common to their success (or the lack of such); • Exploring the range of experiences that people will likely want to have at the proposed facility; • Surfacing the specific elements, attributes and amenities for potential inclusion in the new facility (including the surrounding outdoor space); and • Soliciting general advice, perspective and key context to help inform design directions. The outreach program included the following activities: • Three external stakeholder meetings (including participation from diverse groups such as: Arts, Culture and Museum Committee members, artists and artisans representing a variety of disciplines, arts curators and advocates, arts administrators/coordinators, current farmers' market vendors and patrons, local business owners/representatives, local landowners, etc.) — and including follow-up written submissions. • Meetings/Interviews with the Mayor, City Councillors and the City's Chief Administrative Officer. • Two meetings with City staff at varying levels and those responsible for ancillary services (e.g. the library) — and including follow-up written submissions. • An online survey posted on the City's website In all, approximately 60 people participated in the in-person meetings with others having shared views through the online survey. All who contributed through various means are to be commended for sharing their ideas, insight and perspectives. The outreach was undertaken over August-September 2017. This communication is intended only for the party to whom it is addressed, and may contain information which is privileged, confidential or subject to copyright. Any unauthorized use, disclosure or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited. If you received this in error, please contact the sender and delete the material from any computer immediately. Page 163 of 458 The following are key overarching findings from the outreach that should inform the more site-specific suggestions detailed later. Though higher-level in nature, they speak to both the opportunities and challenges inherent in the initiative. Significant support for the proposed facility — There is broad and substantial support for the new Cultural Hub and Farmers' Market — with many describing it as an idea whose time has come. It has perceived merits for the users of the facility (arts and culture community, farmers, patrons and so forth), but also more broadly for City residents as a whole. More specifically, the facility is anticipated to deliver benefits locally (both social and economic), including helping to further revitalize/reanimate and inspire the Main and Ferry area. Notwithstanding these anticipated 'positives,' there were cautions raised about the need to consider the impact on surrounding residents and businesses (including not interfering with current business operations) and not contributing to the 'over -gentrification' of the area. Success is possible, if... — Though the initiative will not be without hurdles, most believe that the facility has a high potential to be successful. However, this confidence is predicated on the belief that the facility will be well- designed, promoted and supported by wise programming and business plans. More specifically, there were calls for the City to develop a comprehensive, sustainable business and program plan for the facility that takes into account administrative issues, investments/costs, pricing, diversity of offerings, user needs and expectations (including reasonable pricing and farmer/artist/artisan ability and willingness to pay), and so forth. Moreover, there were calls for instituting an effective vendor/user selection process that is strategic, fair and transparent. Flexibility is key — There is strong support for creating a facility that maximizes the potential for various uses. This is seen as essential for promoting diversity of access (among various users), diversity of offerings, diversity of visitors/patrons and allowing for adaptation over time. Moreover, this ability to be flexible is viewed as fundamental to helping keep programming fresh and varied. A mix of `permanent' and `transitory' users — While flexibility is key, there is a widespread belief that the facility needs to include a mix of permanent and transitory users. Permanent users could include such things as: a specialty coffee shop, an artisan bakery, an arts shop, artist studio and so forth. Though there are questions about the balance of permanent and less permanent users, many believe that the facility should be designed to place greater emphasis on the latter (that is, artists who may come and go or choose to share space on an occasional basis, farmers that might come to market a few times a week, etc.). Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 164 of 458 Be realistic, adaptable and user -focused — Though there is strong support for the facility and belief in its success, few expect that success to be instantly realized. There's a shared sense that it will take time get the facility operating optimally and at full capacity. Moreover, there were calls for being adaptable and not overly prescriptive — and for not over planning, programming or structuring the facility. In essence, leaving room for organic growth and ongoing flexibility to accommodate changing needs and to both honour the diversity of different facility users and to be more responsive to the different circumstances of both farmers and artists. Some believe in emphasizing simplicity and flexibility to allow people to best plug-in to the space in the ways that work best for them. Differing views on the facility emphasis — Not surprising, given the dual nature of the proposed facility and the diversity of groups with an interest in it, there are some differing views on a variety of areas concerning facility emphasis. Some see the facility as primarily an'arts and culture' hub (emphasizing indoor and outdoor space in support of this) with the Farmers' Market more of an occasional and tangential use. Others feel differently. Some believe that the facility should accommodate major performing arts events (i.e. large-sized theatre/concert hall/etc.), while others feel this is an unnecessary duplication of existing facilities in the City. Simply put, there is not (as of yet) a completely shared vision for the facility. Broader context — A number of people emphasized the need to consider other considerations that may have an impact on the facility. These included such things as GO station plans for the City, WEGO service and its ability to move patrons to/from the facility, the upcoming highline pedestrian facility and general City -building activities in other parts of Niagara Falls. Moreover, there were calls to carefully consider the Main and Ferry neighbourhood (both its more and less desirable attributes) and the rich history of the area. Importance of branding — Many spoke to the importance of branding the facility and establishing a consistent, coherent identity and theme for it Most often, the notable history/heritage of the area (i.e. connection to the War of 1812, Lundy's Lane, the battlefield, tavern, cemetery, etc.) was described as a strong local theme with potential branding applicability. Other key identified themes included: creativity and innovation; water/hydro power (and clean/green/sustainable energy); connections to nature/land (something earthy and calming); notable geographic locale -specific surroundings (hilltop/highest point in the City; cross-section of significant roadways; old quarries in the area); and relationships with/connections to indigenous peoples. As an over-riding consideration, there was general agreement that any branding should reflect a feeling of authenticity (not'tourist bling') and that the facility address should likely be on Main or Ferry (given that Sylvia Place is much less well known). Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 165 of 458 No consensus — If consensus is defined as everyone agreeing to everything, then it is clear that there is no consensus on every detail concerning the proposed facility and its related uses. For example, some want the facility to be open to buskers, some do not; some want a graffiti wall, some do not; some want a large permanent arts performance space, others do not — and the list goes on. The remainder of this report provides an overview of the broad range of suggestions for the facility, making no judgments about the their suitability or appropriateness. Notwithstanding this, key areas of broad agreement have also been identified. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 166 of 458 Learning ficµinm ii°fi Others Participants at all of the outreach events were invited to identify exemplary cultural hubs and farmers' markets — and to describe what makes them special and compelling. The outcomes of this exercise (as detailed below) reveal a number of key themes and characteristics that can inform the Niagara initiative. Noted Cultural Hubs/Farmers' Markets The following were identified as 'great, exemplary or otherwise notable' cultural hubs and farmers' markets in other jurisdictions (including internationally). Please note that they are list in no particular order — and, again, there was no consensus on them (a location viewed favourably by some, was viewed much less favourably by others). • Ottawa Farmers' Market. • ByWard Market (Ottawa). • Charlottetown Farmers' Market. • London Old Farmers' Market. • St. Catharines Farmers' Market. • Quebec City Artists Row/Alley. • Ridgeway Farmers' Market. • Pelham/Fonthill Farmers' Market. • Marrakesh Market (Morocco). • Various Christmas Markets (different locations around the world). • Welland Farmers' Market. • Toronto's Kensington Market. • London (Ontario) Farmers' Market. • Canadian National Exhibition (Toronto). • Hamilton Farmers' Market. • Pike Place Market (Seattle). • Kingston Farmers' Market. • St. Lawrence Market. • Washington Square. • Estonia Market. • Granville Island. • Forks. • Camden. • Brickworks. • Wychwood. • Cotton Factory. • Victoria (British Columbia) Market. • Les Rambles. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary 6 Page 167 of 458 Core Characteristics (of Exemplary Places/Spaces) The following were identified as the core characteristics of 'great or exemplary' cultural hubs and farmers' markets. Of note, many believe that the proposed Niagara facility should reflect these. The characteristics are listed in no particular order. • Consistent/continuous operation and varied programming — Great places always have something going on ... they operate year round, often seven days a week, daytime and evening. Though there are stable dates/times for established and repeating events (for example, a farmers' market that may operate twice a week on the same days and same times), this is complemented by continuous inventive programming including special events. Vibe and atmosphere — Great places are interesting and exciting places to be ('cool and happening places'; 'full of dynamism, a sense of excitement and possibility'; 'fun to visit'; 'warm and inviting, great ambience'; 'energetic'). They are destinations in and of themselves that typically offer an authentic, local experience. They offer pleasant visual and site experiences that include: approachable, sociable and pleasant market vendors, artists, etc.; lots of colour and inviting architecture; interesting shapes, angles and coves; high ceilings and a sense of spaciousness; ambient music; public art and diverse and culturally appropriate amenities. Community and social space — Great places have space for people of all ages to congregate, sit, meet, chat and generally 'hang-out.' They are inviting gathering places at which to connect and collaborate/co-create. Moreover, they are complemented by unique places to eat/drink (including ready to eat foods) and specialty shops that both meet patron needs and contribute to the ambience of the location. Varied and unique offerings — Great places offer a variety of wares: different types of traditional and non-traditional foods, both produce and produced/ready foods, flowers, various arts and crafts, different types of performances, and so forth. They offer something for people of all ages (including children) and of varied interests. The best places focus on authentic, quality, locally produced wares (not'cheap/touristy stuff'). They focus on local artisans and food producers and are not overly commercialized. Visually, there are stalls and studios with different designs and motifs. • Diversity of users —Reflecting the above, great places feature a diverse range of vendors, artists, artistic pursuits/disciplines, performers, cultures and participants (including a range of ages). They have multicultural appeal and invite varied participation. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 168 of 458 Clean and accessible — Great places are kept clean and aesthetically pleasing. They are easy to get to and navigate within and around for people of all levels of physical ability and including those who walk, cycle, use transit or arrive by vehicle. Notwithstanding this multi -mode focus, many said that there would be a public expectation of ample and free parking at or very close to the Niagara facility. Some noted the potential to make use of adjacent parking lots (after hours) and potentially space along Sylvia Street. Experiential and stimulating — Great places provide visitors with opportunities to: sample foods of different kinds, view offerings, try artisan techniques, speak to farmers and artists, and actively participate and engage in activities. Moreover, they provide opportunities to learn, explore and create. They also engender opportunities for networking and interaction between and among artists, farmers and vendors themselves. • Integrated internal and external environments — Great places create thoughtful connections between buildings and outdoor amenities, making use of the total site envelope. Moreover, they create linkages to the surrounding area — whether greenspace, parks, historical features, shopping or urban amenities of various kinds. • Promotion and signage — People are aware of great places - that is, the places (and what is happening when at the sites) are well promoted and marketed. This includes appealing/captivating visuals and off and onsite signage to both invite visitors in and ease navigation. • Affordable — Great spaces are reasonably affordable for both users of the space (i.e. artists, farmers, vendors, shop owners, etc.) and for those who visit, partake of different activities/experiences and show their patronage through the purchase of various things. • Versatile and multi -dimensional — Great places feature facilities that are flexible to accommodate a variety of uses. To some extent, they are 'collision spots' for people to assemble if they want to collaborate, while also permitting others to work separately. Shared and separate spaces are a hallmark. Things to Avoid The perceived signs of'underwhelming' and less desirable places and spaces are generally the converse of the above! In particular, the following were typically singled -out as issues and things to be avoided. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 169 of 458 Uninviting, unsafe and uninspiring spaces — Broadly defined, this covers everything from sterile/bland buildings and spaces, to a lack of cleanliness, to a lack of colour and visual stimulation, to no upfront visual presence or compelling 'front of house.' Moreover, less than great spaces have poorly organized layouts, bad signage, poor acoustics and poor safety and security features. Some noted, that such places can become popular 'hangouts' for disreputable people. Lack of critical mass and diversity — Less than great places have an insufficient number or variety of vendors, artists, activities... and irregular/unpredictable events. In addition to a lack of variety in what's being offered, there are also too many poor quality offerings (e.g. old produce, poor quality/over-priced art and crafts; stale/boring programming; etc.). Less successful places were often referred to as one-dimensional, rigid and inflexible, and as only appealing to narrow sub -sets of the population. Lack of access and parking — Less than great places have few access points and few ways of getting to/from the facility. As noted earlier, there are concerns about insufficient vehicle parking at or around the proposed Niagara facility. In addition, some noted their opposition to integrating a transit hub with the new facility (the two were seen as incompatible and working against successful co -existence). • Over commercialization — Less than great spaces were often referred to as being too mainstream in their offerings (as too 'grocery -store' or'fast-food' like) and too polished. Moreover, while many believe that the new Niagara facility should and can attract tourists, it should not be overly tourist -focused — that is, it should serve and be of interest to both locals and tourists alike. Duplicating existing facilities — Less then great spaces are often viewed as unnecessarily duplicating or 'cannibalizing' existing facilities and amenities that may be available elsewhere. In the context of the Niagara facility, many said that use should first be made of underutilized buildings and spaces before creating duplicate offerings. There is a sense that the new facility should complement what exists, helping address gaps in what's available locally. Unapproachable/unhappy vendors and facility users — Less than great places were sometimes characterized as having less than great people in them. 'Grumpy' and 'unapproachable' vendors, artists and other types of facility users were often described as strong'turn-offs' with a dramatic impact on one's willingness to return to the space. No one wants this in the proposed Niagara facility. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary Page 170 of 458 Expecillaill h."Nlll`11Is Regarding, Facility ,'"Mpelllmllle11111Icei There was broad general agreement with the range of experiences that people might want to have at the proposed Cultural Hub and Farmers' Market. These include a desire to: • Meet/Gather/Socialize/Network (formally or informally — from official meetings, to casual get togethers on a bench and hanging -out with friends, to organized meetings of clubs/associations/working groups; etc.). • Relax/Observe (sit in the sun/shade, watch a movie; listen to music; etc.). • View/Appreciate (visit galleries/displays of art; attend performances of various kinds; etc.). • Learn/Create/Participate (attend courses, classes, seminars, workshops — on everything from the arts, to cooking, to yoga; use studios and tools to create things; etc.). • Sell/Purchase (food of various kinds; crafts; art). • Celebrate (weddings, parties, festivals, etc.). • Work (this includes both creative and administrative endeavours). • Dining (a unique place or places to eat and/or have a beverage). • Read and Grow (including everything from informal reading spaces/nooks, to book exchange areas, to perhaps a less traditional 'satellite' library with fewer collections and a greater emphasis on being a hub for creation, innovation, maker space, etc.). Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary 10 Page 171 of 458 The following is a compendium of advice and preferences shared through the engagement process. The information is structured as follows: general design advice; shared elements/facilities; elements/facilities more unique to either the Cultural Hub or the Farmers' Market components of the facility; and outdoor amenities. In addition, some initial program -related suggestions have also been provided. General Design Advice • Integrate/connect (albeit, not necessarily physically) the new facility to the History Museum. • Ensure multiple accesses from different areas around the block on which the facility is located — and capitalize on the Main Street access/greenspace. • Create logical connections to the local battlefield and surrounding area. • Ensure that the facility is environmentally -friendly (that is, easy to heat/cool; efficient; low cost) — consider use of radiant heating, solar panels, small wind turbines or other means of generating power on site (and, where possible, integrate an environmental/green education component into the facility). • Practically and thematically connect the 'indoor facility' to the outdoor amenities — through design, navigation, use of materials, landscaping, etc. • Ensure the building and entire site are safe and secure — including appropriate lighting, use of CCTV cameras, first aid facilities and so forth. • Place equal emphasis on the indoor and outdoor space — and emphasize greenspace over concrete for the non -building portion of the site. • Take into account sun directions at different times of the day and ensure sufficient shading for selected outdoor areas (consider 'sail -like' canopies and other creative approaches). • Work with landowners/businesses in the surrounding area to identify mutually beneficial projects/initiatives. • Give careful consideration to snow removal and storage (and minimizing areas where slipping or snow banks — and subsequent melting —may be a hazard). • Consider focusing the Farmers' Market space on the ground level and artists/culture hub space on an upper level if a two-storey facility is a possibility (given the potential in this model of having more dedicated space for alternative uses). • If the structure has multiple floors or different elevations — ensure that elevators or ramps are in place as appropriate to ensure full AODA compliance. • Consider placing parking underground (or consider place the building on top of ground -level parking). • Use durable, but casual/inviting furnishings (both inside and outside). • Consider using shipping containers in the overall design. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary 11 Page 172 of 458 Shared Elements and Facilities • Public washrooms (including baby/child-friendly and accessible facilities). • Loading/unloading space sufficient in size to accommodate larger -sized materials and well-placed to minimize trip distance and disturbance of surrounding traffic patterns (including ingress/egress for large trucks to existing businesses in the area). • Flexible spaces that can be easily transformed to accommodate multiple uses. • Indoor space must be climate controlled, including sufficient heating/cooling capacity. • Sizable spaces to facilitate larger events — ensure space sizes and configurations that will be attractive to facility renters for such things as conferences, wedding receptions, etc. — though many see the revenue - generation potential in these, some would prefer that such rentals be limited in number and scope. • Include rooftop facilities for things such as: readings, yoga, screenings, etc. — including the potential for a rooftop cafe. • Indoor and outdoor power outlets (sufficient in number and capability to handle a variety of needs: from refrigeration, to speaker systems, to power tool use, to large-sized ovens, etc.). • Access to free Wi-Fi. • Placement of LED screens in key strategic locations that can assist with navigation and help promote upcoming events. • Ample storage space generally. • Meeting rooms (including built-in screens/projectors/white boards). • Public art — both inside and outside of the facility (including potentially movable pieces that could re -arranged periodically to 'mix things up'). • Space (e.g. leash tie -offs) and amenities for pets (e.g. water bowls). • Secure liquor licenses covering indoor/outdoor spaces. • Include multiple 'selfie image -making' spots. • Cyclist -friendly — including access to the site and bike parking/storage. • Include a communal bulletin-board/community events board. • Include staff -specific facilities (e.g. lunch area, for storage of belongings/materials, for administration, etc.). • Include space for an ATM (to facilitate access to cash for patrons of both the Farmers' Market and the Cultural Hub). • Include a first aid/equipment station. • Activities and areas that are child -focused. Arts and Culture -Focused • Provide for an Arts and Culture Wall of Fame (that will need approximately 60 feet of total space — though it could be stacked space). • Artist rental spaces — including options for shared rental space and office space. • Studio spaces (of varying sizes). Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary 12 Page 173 of 458 • Maker spaces matched to artist needs (e.g. 3-D printers, etc.). • Display spaces (of note, there are mixed views on whether this should be dedicated gallery space to show art or whether it should be part of the broader flexible space envelope) — in any event, this would include facilities (e.g. large doors, high ceilings, etc.) to accommodate large-scale works. • Communal/shared spaces to facilitate idea exchange and collaborative approaches. • Space to accommodate an artist -in -residence program. • Teaching and educational spaces for classes (e.g. arts classes of various kinds, yoga, writer workshops, etc.) — preferably a minimum of two rooms with capacity for 20-30 people each. • Rehearsal and performance space for various types of performers (both inside and outside the building). • Theatre (of note, there are mixed views on whether this is required given other facilities in the City and there was no consensus on the size of this element). • Lockable tool room and/or tool library (e.g. tools that can be accessed/rented for woodworking, printing, metalworking, etc.). • Storage and shelving space (including some secure/lockable space for individual artists). • Space for buskers and street performance artists. • Piano area (that invites people to gather and participate). • Live -work residences (e.g. subsidized loft space, potentially combined with market -rate condos). • Built-in sound systems/arrays. • Permanent adjustable indoor and outdoor lighting systems (for performance areas). • Reading space with books (potentially a'give-a-book, get-a-book'/book exchange system). • Artisan -run gift shop(s). • Flex hours to accommodate multiple artist needs (including 24-hour access). Food and Farmers' Market -Focused • Interior open space to accommodate up to 15 vendors (with space for at least that many outside — potentially under a canopy). • Easy access to vendor stalls (for both vendors and visitors). • Permanent sit-down cafe/specialty baking shops (including the potential for a rooftop cafe/bar and integrated performance space). • Refrigeration (otherwise, there will be exhaust from generators/vehicles). • Significant aisle space — to facilitate loading/unloading and pedestrian/patron movement through the stall areas. • Indoor food handling/preparation space — counter, sink, sample preparation, cooking, room for packaging and sealing. • Potential facilities for outdoor cooking. Niagara Falls Hub Engagement Summary 13 Page 174 of 458 • A commercial kitchen/kitchen incubator/culinary/workshop station (with appropriate equipment and standards for hygiene) — that can be rented and used to produce food that could be sold at the market and/or that could be used for workshops and educational experiences. • An artisan bakery. • Bar -type facilities (to help bolster event bookings and execution). • Space to accommodate food festivals (including places for food truck parking onsite or adjacent to the facility). • Opportunity to have a winemaker presence (winery representation on site). Outdoor/External-Focused • An amphitheatre and/or band shell. • Variety of outdoor performance spaces and staging to accommodate such things as theatre, movies, concerts, etc. (with the potential to include closed - off, paid -ticket areas for selected events) — with real seating available. • Seating areas (including some shaded areas). • Wall of art. • Graffiti wall (of note, there were mixed feelings about the desirability of such a wall). • Murals. • Rooftop gardens or other types of rooftop space usage. • Piazza and/or cultural courtyard. • Water features (i.e. moving water of some kind). • A children's playground (of note, there were highly varying opinions on this). • Signage promoting the facility and what's on offer (aimed at passers-by, transit users, etc.).

We are grateful that the City of Niagara Falls has decided to look at this new endeavor. We strongly support the actions taken thus far, in the three consultation meetings that were held. We feel that the work that has been done so far by dtah and GLPi has been extremely helpful in developing the exciting possibilities before us. We recognize that this is a very large project for the City of Niagara Falls to undertake. We feel that this is a great opportunity for the community, local businesses and especially the local farms and various other vendors selling their wares at the market. This project is going to be the first of its kind in the Region. For us to be a part of this moving forward is something we all, as vendors look forward to. The opportunity for us to have an upgraded facility will only help garner growth for future generations to come. As vendors, we feel this is something to be proud of, as we share and put the spotlight on some of the many bountiful things Niagara has to offer. With your continued support as this project moves forward we hope to take an active role in seeing this to full completion. Sincerely, -,,,-'7 Dan DeVries and the Market Vendors "See you at the Exchange." Signed: ✓!d yi b0- Z'l , a,&,4-,"2 r Page 208 of 458 Monday, November 20, 2017 Esteemed members of council, As a local artist and member of the artistic community in Niagara Falls, it has been very encouraging to hear the proposal for the new arts and culture hub on Main street. In attending the previous meetings, it has been refreshing to see an accomplished architectural firm taking on this project and proposing a plan that would offer many services that are not currently available in our city. As many residents can attest, there has been a shocking lack of support for arts and culture in the Falls and a cultural hub for Niagara has been long overdue. There is no doubt that the plans for this proposed building would meet the needs of many local artists, musicians, farmers, educators, and patrons of the arts. While we do have a large artistic community in Niagara, there has been little support from the city to help develop this community into the thriving, beneficial collective that it should be. As Niagara Falls has been currently operating without any sort of cultural hub, the artists in this city have been forced to work independently and seek out facilities in other cities in the region to accommodate their artistic endeavours. The plans for this building aim to improve the current farmers market and create a whole new multi -disciplinary space that would allow an already existing arts community to have the opportunity to create, teach, learn, perform, and grow. Not only would this cultural hub allow for our community to foster a better arts scene, but it would also put Niagara Falls closer in line with other tourist cities- most of which have flourishing arts and culture scenes. In constructing a building that includes artist studios, a workshop, a tool library, community rooms, a cafe, and a farmers market, this facility would allow for people of all ages and disciplines to come together and create a sustainable arts and culture scene in a city that is notoriously known for not supporting their arts and culture sector. While there is plenty of work to be done to get Niagara Falls up to par with other tourist destinations, this cultural hub would be a big step forward in the long term plan for developing a greatly anticipated established arts and culture scene. Serving as a starting point, a cultural hub is not only important but is essential to the future and development of Niagara Falls as a worldly and cultured city.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO -2017-06 Memorandum of Understanding — Consolidated Transit Model for Niagara RECOMMENDATION That Council hereby adopts the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Niagara Falls, the City of St. Catharines, the City of Welland and the Region of Niagara for a Consolidated Transit Model in Niagara; and The Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the MOU. BACKGROUND In 2010, the City of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, and Welland made a proposal to Regional Council to create a tri -city transit service which the three cities would operate, to be funded by the Region and called Niagara Region Transit. The NRT was to operate for 3 years with the intent that if successful, transit would be uploaded to the Region through a Triple Majority process. Regional Council approved the proposal by a solid majority and in September 2011 Niagara Region, the City of Niagara Falls, the St. Catharines Transit Commission and the City of Welland entered into a pilot project agreement to formalize the provision of inter -municipal transit services. Funded by the Niagara Region and jointly operated by Niagara Falls Transit, St. Catharines Transit and Welland Transit ("transit operators") the Niagara Regional Transit pilot provides transit connections to the communities of St. Catharines, Thorold, Niagara Falls, Welland, Niagara -on -the -Lake, Port Colborne and Fort Erie. In May 2015, prior to formalizing the NRT as a permanent inter -municipal transit service and securing triple majority support from local municipalities, Regional Council agreed to ask the cities of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland, as transit operators, to work together to present a new model to the whole region. At its meeting on June 23, 2015, City Council passed the following motion: "That Council support the transits of St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland working together on how to best provide inter -municipal transit." Page 210 of 458 2 CAO -2017-06 November 28, 2017 Since January 2016, an Inter -Municipal working group of mayors, CAOs and staff from the local municipalities and Niagara Region have been working together to identify alternative service delivery and governance options for inter -municipal transit services. With support from staff and transit managers, the working group hired Dillon Consulting to develop potential options for the future delivery of inter -municipal transit services for consideration. The working group identified key guiding principles in their work: • Customer driven: continuously improve, respect established local service • Unconventional solutions: investigate leading-edge technologies, explore partnerships • Integrated: be seamless with other modes of transportation, integrated with daily GO train service, connect at hubs • Economically responsible: balance costs, investments, explore alternative modes of delivery • Fair: respect existing investments of communities, collective agreements and respect for taxpayers Between February and December 2016 the consulting team met with transit managers, stakeholders, transit union representatives, employers and transit users as well as representatives of each of Niagara's 12 municipalities to discuss the region's transit needs and challenges. In fall 2016 Dillon presented interim findings and recommendations to local councils and the public to seek feedback. In January 2017, the team presented the final recommendations in the report "Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy." The Strategy outlines a recommendation for a consolidated transit system for the region and identifies service and technology enhancements including fare integration, trip planning, smart card technologies and dynamic transit options. Also, in January, 2017, Regional Council extended the IMT Pilot Project to allow time for decisions to be made regarding the future of transit in the Niagara Region. At the Council meeting held on February 28, 2017 council received a report (Niagara Region Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy Report) and endorsed a recommendation, in principle, creating a consolidated transit system on partnership with the City of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines Transit Commission the City of Welland and the Region of Niagara to develop a regionally integrated transit system. At that same meeting Council authorized staff to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the parties to develop a governance framework and specify how key issues are to be addressed. The purpose of this report is to seek approval of Council on the MOU, a copy of which is attached as an Addendum to this report. The MOU outlines the governance model, guiding principles, roles and responsibilities, approval processes and the funding model. Page 211 of 458 3 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE CAO -2017-06 November 28, 2017 City Council has identified the importance of public transit to enhance economic development. This was identified in Council's 2015-2018 Strategic Priorities. Council also supported that the transits from Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland and the Region work toward providing improved Inter -Municipal Transit. Combining local and inter -municipal transit offers a number of benefits: • Providing cross -boundary mobility to education and post -secondary institutions (Brock University, Niagara College), employment opportunities, medical and social services • Supports transit ridership to future GO train service, reducing local congestion and creating transportation options • Facilitates economic development by businesses seeking a connected and accessible workforce • Contributes to a high quality of life for residents • Supports sustainable community development The MOU calls for creation of a Consolidated Transit Model in Niagara, as outlined on Addendum 2 (consolidated Transit Model). As such 2 committees will be created, one being the Linking Niagara Transit Committee comprised of elected officials from across the Region, and an Inter -Municipal Transit (IMT) Working Group comprised of staff representatives from the Region and all 12 local municipalities. The consolidated model recommended will build on the successful coordination and cooperation between the existing transit providers throughout the duration of the NRT pilot and the working group's exercises since January 2016. The transit managers have played an integral role in implementing new routes, scheduling changes new strategies to improve transit services with a cooperative and user -focused perspective. The introduction of routes 40/45 and a new trip planner are two recent examples of this. This consolidated model to formalize the IMT Working Group and the Linking Niagara Committee will continue to build on the positive momentum and success of the working group while working toward implementation of the recommendations contained in the Dillon Report. Page 212 of 458 CAO -2017-06 November 28, 2017 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Dillon Report identifies the need for a number of additional studies as part of the next steps towards consolidation including organization and human resources support, legal support and fees, branding, marketing and more. The Strategy estimates one-time implementation costs between $700,000 and $1.3 million (to be shared between the three municipalities and the Region) for integration of technology (i.e. fare boxes and computer systems), City staff and the working group estimate that these transitional costs could be higher. Under the consolidated model, the City of Niagara Falls will continue to be responsible for all costs associated with the operation of both Niagara Falls Transit and WEGO. The Region will continue to fund and be responsible for all funding related to Inter -Municipal Transit routes. All assets currently held by Niagara Falls will remain in the City's ownership. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations of this report support Council's 2015-2018 Strategic Priority of Economic Growth and Prosperity by strengthening public transit linkages between the municipalities to assist in the movement of people for employment and education.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO -2017-07 Transient Accommodation Tax (a.k.a. Hotel Tax) RECOMMENDATION CAO -2017-07 November 28, 2017 1. That the City of Niagara Falls implement a Transient Accommodation Tax of 4% commencing April 1, 2018 and, 2. That staff report back on the details related to the implementation and collection of the tax, subsequent to stakeholder engagement related implementation of the tax. BACKGROUND In April, 2017 the Province of Ontario passed Bill 127: Stronger, Healthier Ontario Act (Budget Measures) 2017, which allow lower or single tier municipalities in Ontario to charge a transient accommodation tax, also called a "Hotel Tax". The regulations (Ontario Regulations 435/17) received approval on November 23, 2017 and comes into force December 1, 2017. In a letter from the Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the Honourable Eleanor McMahon, she encourages the City to consider how a new tax on transient accommodation may bring greater transparency and consistency to the existing practices in our City through the sharing of funds with a tourism organization, application of a uniform rate, and clearer labelling of the charge on hotel bills. This is an opportunity for the City of Niagara Falls to strengthen its partnership with its tourism partners to ensure that the tourism sector continues to be competitive in Niagara Falls and in Ontario. (letter attached as Addendum #1) The legislation states that municipalities that adopt a hotel tax and have an existing Destination Marketing Fee (DMF) program in place are required to share the hotel tax revenue with the appropriate not-for-profit tourism organization in an amount that matches the total revenue generated by the existing (DMF) program. Where such a program does not exist for a municipality, at least 50 per cent of the hotel tax revenue is to be shared with the respective Regional Tourism Organization or a not-for-profit tourism organization. With respect to Niagara Falls, 50% of the revenue generated must be shared with Niagara Falls Tourism (NFT). Page 220 of 458 2 CAO -2017-07 November 28, 2017 Currently, several other Ontario Municipalities with large tourism sectors are considering a 4% tax including Toronto, Mississauga and Ottawa. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Transient Accommodation (Hotel Tax) will replace the current "DMF" programs across the province. The stakeholders will collect the tax at the source from consumers. In Niagara Falls there are currently 132 hotel/motels in the city with approximately 13,500 hotel rooms. It is estimated that a 4% room tax could generate in the neighbourhood of $15 million per year. The tax would only be charged on the hotel room and could not be applied to other components of tourism operations. The tax can also be applied to short term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO etc.) and other forms of accommodation. The only exclusion is university or college residence accommodation. Although there are no specifics outlined in the regulation, related to how the monies can be spent (see attached as Addendum #2), it is staff's opinion that monies collected from the "Hotel Tax" should be used to support the tourism sector. Examples of this would be financial assistance for Major events, such as televised New Year's Eve, and live concerts, funding tax supported WEGO costs, Illumination Board expenses, capital expenditures for streetscaping improvements in the Tourist Core. NFT would use their portion of the funds to support the Scotiabank Convention Centre, as opposed to the B.I.A.'s funding a portion, Winter Festival of Lights, fireworks and for marketing and promotion of the destination. Ideally, the revenue generated from the Hotel Tax would eliminate tax supported initiatives from property taxes. Once implemented, the Hotel Tax replaces the "DMF". This means that tourism businesses could no longer charge a "DMF". This does not prevent a hotel from charging a "resort fee" or "facility charge", but these would not be considered a tax and must be disclosed by each hotel at the time of booking. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The implementation of a Hotel Tax will not have any impact on the 2018 operating budget. In 2019, a positive impact will occur due to the elimination of funding commitments currently contained in the operating budget. This includes payments to the WFOL and NFT. As required by regulation, 50% of the funds would be redirected to NFT and current commitments to WFOL and NFT would come from these funds. It should be noted that once the tax is implemented (April, 2018), the Tourism sector can no longer charge a DMF tax. This does not prevent Hotels from charging fees in their rates such as resort fees, facilities fees, etc. but there cannot be tax on these charges. Page 221 of 458 3 CAO -2017-07 November 28, 2017 In addition, in order to provide full accountability and clarity around the tax, Council would set an annual budget, commencing in 2019 and provide full public disclosure on where the funds are spent. The Ontario regulation requires that monies collected in 2018 (April -December) would form the basis of the funds to be expended in 2019. In other words, there is a one year lag between the time the funds are collected and when they are spent. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1. Addendum 1 - Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport Letter 2. Addendum 2 — Transient Accommodation Tax — Ontario Regulation 435/17 Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 222 of 458 Ministry of Tourism, Ministere du Tourisme, Culture and Sport de la Culture et du Sport Minister Ministre 9th Floor, Hearst Block 91 stage, edifice Hearst 900 Bay Street 900, rue Bay Ontario Toronto, ON M7A 2E1 Toronto (Ontario) M7A 2E1 Tel: 416 326-9326 Tel.: 416 326-9326 November 24, 2017 Dear Mayor Diodati: As you know, the 2017 Ontario Budget proposed that all single -tier and lower -tier municipalities be provided with the authority to implement a tax on transient accommodation, should they choose to do so. I am writing to inform you that the relevant legislative changes will come into force on December 1, 2017. Under the legislation, it will be the choice of the City whether to implement a tax on transient accommodation. Should the City choose to implement a tax, it would have the flexibility to determine the design of the tax, including its rate(s), administration, collection and the scope of its application. With this new authority, I encourage you and the Council to work together with your local tourism industry partners to determine an approach to address consumer concerns regarding the tourism fees being charged in Niagara Falls. In particular, I encourage you to consider how a new tax on transient accommodation may bring greater transparency and consistency to the existing practices in your City through the sharing of funds with a tourism organization, application of a uniform rate, and clearer labelling of the charge on hotel bills. This is an opportunity for the City of Niagara Falls to strengthen its partnership with its tourism partners to ensure that the tourism sector continues to be competitive in Niagara Falls and in Ontario. Regulations under the Municipal Act, 2009 and City of Toronto Act, 200E will set out rules for tax revenue sharing with eligible not-for-profit tourism organizations. These regulations will come into force on December 1, 2017. Key matters addressed by the regulations will include: • Municipalities will be required to share the revenues with not-for-profit tourism organizations, such as Regional Tourism Organizations or local Destination Marketing Organizations. • Where no formal Destination Marketing Program (DMP) exists, at least 50 per cent of the revenues from the tax, less the municipality's reasonable costs of collecting and administering the tax, must be shared with an eligible not-for-profit tourism organization. ./2 Page 223 of 458 -2- • Where a DMP exists in a municipality prior to the imposition of the tax, the municipality will generally be required to share the greater of: • the total amount of DMP revenues received by the not-for-profit tourism organization under a DMP from accommodations in the municipality, in the fiscal year before the tax came into effect, or • the amount paid by the municipality to the not-for-profit tourism organization in the previous year, adjusted by a 10-year rolling average of the annual percentage change in Ontario's total tourism receipts, subject to a 2-year lag. • Municipalities will need to ensure they share revenues pursuant to the rules set out in the regulations. Municipalities may retain any remaining tax proceeds for their own purposes. • The rules set out a minimum amount of tax revenue sharing that must occur, but in no case do the regulations require municipalities to share more tax revenue than they collect. The Ontario government recognizes the importance of helping municipalities invest in their communities. We also recognize the importance of promoting Ontario as a destination for tourism, and ensuring the vitality of Ontario's tourism sector. The regulations balance the interests of the tourism and municipal sectors. To help ensure the tax is implemented in a way that benefits the municipality and the local tourism industry, we encourage both sectors to continue to work together on this important issue. We also expect both parties to balance this new authority with the need to protect consumers and ensure their regions remain competitive tourism destinations. Our government recognizes that municipalities are mature, accountable and responsible local governments. We have a strong record of supporting and working with our tourism industry, and we look forward to continuing our work with you to grow tourism in the province.

Revenue sharing --destination marketing program exists when tax imposed 4. (f) This section applies if a destination marketing program exists in the municipality on the day before the tax comes into effect. (2) For each full or partial fiscal year of the municipality that the tax is in effect, the municipality shall make one or more payments to the eligible tourism entity that received revenue, directly or indirectly, from providers of transient accommodation in the municipality under a destination marketing program that existed immediately before the tax came into effect, the total of which must be at least equal to the amount determined under this section.

The total amount of revenue that was collected on transient accommodation provided in the municipality under the destination marketing program in respect of the last fiscal year of the eligible tourism entity that ended before the tax came into effect and that was received by the entity under the program in respect of that year, 2. The amount determined by applying the following steps: i. Determine the amount paid by the municipality to the eligible tourism entity under this section in respect of the fiscal year that precedes the particular fiscal year. If the tax was not in effect for the entire fiscal year that preceded the particular fiscal year, the amount referred to in paragraph 1 is deemed to be the amount determined under this subparagraph. ii. Determine the average annual percentage change in Ontario's total tourism receipts over the 10 -year period between the second year immediately preceding the particular fiscal year and the 12th year immediately preceding the particular fiscal year. iii, Multiply the.percentage change determined under subparagraph ii by the amount determined under subparagraph i. iv. If the percentage change determined under subparagraph ii is positive, add the amount determined under subparagraph it to the amount determined under subparagraph i. If the percentage change determined under subparagraph ii is negative, subtract the amount determined under subparagraph iii from the amount determined under subparagraph i, v. From the amount determined under subparagraph iv, subtract the amount of any revenue that was collected on transient accommodation provided in the municipality under the destination marketing program at any time when the tax was in effect and that was received by the eligible tourism entity under the program in the particular fiscal year of the municipality. (9) For a particular fiscal year of the municipality in which the tax is not in effect for the entire year, the amount referred to in subsection (2) in respect of that particular fiscal year is the amount determined under subsection (8), as if subparagraph 2 v of that subsection did not apply, multiplied by the amount determined using the following formula, (E/F) — G in which, "E" is the number of days that the tax is in effect in the particular fiscal year, `17" is the total number of days in the particular fiscal year, and "G" is the amount of any revenue that was collected on transient accommodation provided in the municipality under the destination marketing program at any time when the tax was in effect and that was received by the eligible tourism entity under the program in the particular fiscal year of the municipality. (10) At the municipality's request, the eligible tourism entity shall give the municipality evidence, to the municipality's satisfaction, of the amounts of revenue collected and received under a destination marketing program as referred to in the definitions of "A" and "B" in subsection (5), in paragraph 1 and subparagraph 2 v of subsection (8) and in the definition of "G" in subsection (9).

Page 227 of 458 (12) Despite subsection (11), the municipality is not required to pay an amount to the eligible tourism entity until it has complied with a request from the municipality under subsection (10). Revenue sharing — no destination marketing program exists when tax imposed 5. (1) This section applies if a destination marketing program does not exist in the municipality on the day before the tax comes into effect. (2) For each full or partial fiscal year of the municipality that the tax is in effect, the municipality shall make one or more payments to one or more eligible tourism entities, the total of which must be at least equal to the amount determined under subsection (4). (3) Any amounts paid to an eligible tourism entity under subsection (2) shall be used by the eligible tourism entity for the exclusive purpose of promoting tourism.

(1) The municipality and each eligible tourism entity that receives an amount under section 4 or 5 shall enter into an agreement respecting reasonable financial accountability matters in order to ensure that amounts paid to the entity are used for the exclusive purpose of promoting tourism, and the agreement may provide for other matters. (2) For clarity, a requirement that an amount paid by a municipality under subsection 4 (2) or 5 (2) be used in a particular manner in promoting tourism is not a reasonable financial accountability matter for the purpose of subsection (1) of this section. Receipt for transient accommodation tax 7. A provider of transient accommodation in a municipality that is required to collect the tax shall include on every invoice or receipt for the purchase of transient accommodation a separate item for the amount of tax on transient accommodation imposed on the purchase, and the item shall be identified as "Municipal Accommodation Tax" or as the name of the municipality followed by "Accommodation Tax". Commencement 8. This Regulation comes into force on the later of the day section 11 of Schedule 19 to the Stronger, Healthier Ontario Act (Budget Measures), 2017 comes into force and the day it is filed. Francais Page 228 of 458 Page 229 of 458 Niagara,aIl�s REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD -2017-04 Update Report — 2018 Municipal Election RECOMMENDATION CD -2017-04 November 28, 2017 That Niagara Falls City Council receives report CD -2017-04, Update Report — 2018 Municipal Election, for information. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is being presented to council to review key dates leading up to the Municipal Election and to provide an update and overview of the changes governing the legislation for conducting the municipal and school board elections for 2018 that may impact persons considering submission of a nomination. BACKGROUND Elections Task Force: As part of the Niagara Area Clerks Election Task Force, the Acting Clerk is reviewing all Election procedures, policies and best practices in preparation for Election Day, October 22nd 2018. To date, we have been able to co- ordinate and finalize a consistent Recount Policy and participants have had input into the Use of Corporate Resources policies that are aligned, but not identical for each municipality, depending on individual needs. For example, some municipalities have a bi-weekly radio show, etc. that is impacted by a blackout period. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The revisions to the Municipal Elections Act (MEA), as well as other Provincial legislation, has significantly changed the way municipalities will conduct the municipal and school board elections in Ontario, and it will have an impact on both electors and candidates. This report provides information (to date) on the changes to the MEA, the impacts of the changes and an analysis for the next steps in the preparation for the 2018 Municipal and School Board Elections. Page 230 of 458 2 CD -2017-04 November 28, 2017 Attached as Appendix 1 is the "2018 Municipal Election Key Dates". **NEW** - Direct -Elect — Reaional Municioalitv of Niaaara Reaional Chair Through the Changes of Bill 70, a rule to Subsection 218(1) of The Municipal Act, 2001 was added providing that the head of council of every regional municipality, other than the County of Oxford, shall be elected by general vote. Specifically, Section 218.1 of the Act specifies that for the regular 2018 election, the head of a regional municipality shall be elected by general vote, thus for the first time since the establishment of the Regional Municipality of Niagara (1970) the Regional Chair will be directly elected by the electors in Niagara. Historically, pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, the Regional Clerk delegated the authority for the conduct of the election of Regional Councillors to the Area Clerks (lower tier). Area Clerks will continue to be responsible for the conduct of the election of Regional Councillors. However, the Regional Clerk will assume specific election -related duties and responsibilities relative to the election of the Regional Chair. The Elections Task Force includes representatives from the Region of Niagara to ensure clarity on filing of nominations, declaration of results, and receipt of financial reports from candidates. Consistent messaging throughout Niagara is planned to ensure voter education is provided. **NEW** - Shortened Nomination/Campaign Period: Candidates may file a nomination paper, including the prescribed fee and submission of 25 signatures of eligible voters supporting the nomination, starting Tuesday, May 1st, 2018 during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Nominations may be submitted up to Nomination Day, July 27th, 2018 (until 2:00 p.m.). The nomination fee, at time of printing of this report, is $200 for the Office of Mayor and $100 for all other offices and must be paid by cash, debit, certified cheque or money order. Nomination Requirements: The MEA now requires that nominations for Council (not school board) be endorsed by at least 25 persons. Certain requirements must be met, including: • A person endorsing a candidate must be eligible to vote on the date of endorsement; • A person endorsing may endorse more than one nomination; • Endorsements will be in the form of a prescribed declaration; • Should the nominee file for a different office on the same Council (previous nomination is considered withdrawn), further endorsements are not required; Page 231 of 458 3 CD -2017-04 November 28, 2017 • Prescribed Nomination/Endorsement will be provided once finalized by the Province. Nomination Dav: Friday. July 27th. 2018 (9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m This is also the deadline for filing or withdrawing nominations. On Nomination Day, nominations may only be filed between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Withdrawal of nomination, in writing, is required before 2 p.m. Recount Procedure: The Regional Elections Task Force has finalized the Clerk's Recount Procedure which will be incorporated across Niagara. This is one of the procedures that we determined suitable to be identical across the board, as it could be required for a recount for the Regional Chair position and we would want to ensure consistency in this regard. Under the MEA, the only mandatory requirement for a recount is in the event of a tie. Significant discussion revolved around the potential for a municipality to adopt a policy with respect to the circumstances in which the municipality requires the clerk to hold a recount (i.e. "close vote") however the procedures address only the mandatory recount in the event of a tie, or through the provisions of a specific Council resolution or a court- ordered recount. No recommendation is being made with regard to development of a separate policy respecting circumstances requiring a recount, but rather to allow the legislation to test itself and continue to follow past -practice of considering provisions already contained within the Municipal Elections Act relating to recounts. **NEW** - Third Party Advertising Framework: The new framework for third party advertising will come into effect April 1, 2018, with rules thereby being in place for the 2018 municipal election. The reason for this new framework being in place is due to the fact that corporations and trade unions can no longer contribute to a candidate's campaign. A third party advertisement is messaging that supports or opposes a candidate, or a question on the ballot. It does not include issues -based advertising. Advertising that does not cost money to post or broadcast is not considered third party advertising. However, it is important to note that individuals, corporations and unions will need to register with each municipality where they are advertising. Third party advertising is to be done independent of candidates and cannot be a candidate and most campaign financing rules that apply to candidates will also apply to third party Page 232 of 458 CD -2017-04 November 28, 2017 advertisers. Spending limits will be applicable, as will contribution limits. Third party groups can register with the Clerk from Mayl , 2018 through to and including October 19, 2018. It is important to note that all of this would take place independently of the candidate(s). Campaign Finances: Changes to the provisions for campaign financing have been put in place to ensure rules are consistent, transparent, accountable, fair, and follow modern election finance practices. Corporations and trade unions may no longer contribute to municipal election campaigns, including council and school board elections. New spending limits for parties and expressions of appreciation after voting day have been enacted. New self -funding limits for municipal council candidates are in place and are based on the number of electors voting for the office, to a maximum of $25,000. The Clerk will now be required to review all contributions reported and prepare a report if a contributor appears to have exceeded a contribution limit, which report would be forwarded to the Compliance Audit Committee. Important Election Dates: Appended to this report is a list of important election dates. Most prevalent is the fact that in light of changes to the Municipal Elections Act, nominations are no longer submitted beginning in January of an election year. Messaging to the public will exist in this regard to minimize confusion. Elections Training: Although not "need' to elections, the Acting Clerk has attended an AMCTO Elections Training workshop in October to ensure full compliance with the legislative changes is facilitated. Additional training sessions will be attended by Clerks' Staff in 2018 as they become available. It is expected that a candidate -geared workshop will also be facilitated regarding campaign finances and third party requirements as there have been changes in this regard as well. The Challenge: There have been a number of changes to the Municipal Elections Act, and to the Municipal Act. The challenge throughout the coming months will be to ensure the public is aware of the changes and to minimize voter confusion. This will be particularly important given the Provincial election to be held in June 2018, which can create additional voter confusion as well as voter fatigue. Measure of Success: The Clerk has both responsibility and authority over various aspects of a municipal election. It is incumbent on a municipal clerk to raise awareness of the election process in general, and this will be of particular importance as we educate all stakeholders on Page 233 of 458 5 CD -2017-04 November 28, 2017 the recent MEA revisions that will impact the 2018 municipal elections. Although difficult to measure, the effectiveness of communication can be reviewed in terms of voter feedback. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS No internal financial analysis has been done as of yet, dealing with these new Municipal Election Modernization Changes. As previously reported, traditionally, the municipal election has cost the City between $200,000 to $250,000. The cost of the 2018 election will, at this point, carry similar costs. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency: Ensure that governance structures are appropriate and effective.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Clerks Department CD -2017-05 2018 Council Schedule RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the proposed 2018 meeting schedule. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CD -2017-05 November 28, 2017 A proposed 2018 Council Meeting schedule is submitted for Council's consideration. Staff is proposing a similar schedule to 2017, in which Council include some bi-weekly meetings early in the year to ensure that all budgets are approved. The remainder of the year, a monthly schedule is proposed. Public meetings under the Planning Act will be scheduled for 7:00 p.m. during any Budget discussions and 6:30 p.m. when the monthly schedule commences. BACKGROUND Rule 2 of the Standing Rules of Council (By-law 89-155) states that " ... meetings of the Council shall be held in accordance with a Schedule that forms part of the by-law." As a result, on an annual basis, a new schedule is put forward for Council's consideration for the upcoming calendar year. Subject to Council's input, the by-law approving the schedule will be brought forward at the final meeting of 2017. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Council approved report CD -2016-02, which included a bi-weekly schedule of meetings early in the calendar year, to ensure timely approval of municipal budgets, followed by a monthly schedule for the remainder of 2017. As a result, staff is proposing a similar schedule for 2018. Bi -weekly Council meetings will occur early in the calendar year with monthly meetings from May until the end of the calendar year. To ensure live Cogeco coverage, meetings are scheduled on the second and/or fourth Tuesday's of the month. There are no Council meetings scheduled for the months of September and October, leading up to the Municipal Elections being held on October 22, 2018. Page 236 of 458 2 CD -2017-05 November 28, 2017 Candidate election campaigns will be in full swing leading up to Election day and it is felt that a break in the Council meeting schedule take place during the heart of the campaign period. This will also give staff an opportunity to focus on the administration of the elections, including a focus on Advance Poll opportunities. Council is also reminded that special meetings can always be called, if need be. This current year saw two such special meetings. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency: Ensure that governance structures are appropriate and effective.

At this stage 95.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently sixteen properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tax collection for 2017 improved during the month of October. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at October 31, 2017 are $26.6 million. This represents a decrease from $28.8 million in arrears for the same period in 2016. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1, 2017, 317 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of Page 239 of 458 F-2017-39 November 28, 2017 these actions after ten months of activity. This table shows 95.2% of the tax accounts or 302 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During October, seven accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments decreased slightly from 95.5% (September) to 95.2% (October). 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 October, three registered properties were redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 2.3% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at October 31, 2017 is 15.2% which is a decrease from 2016's value of 16.1%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Department SUBJECT: HR -2017-01- 1/3 taxable allowance for Council RECOMMENDATION For the implementation starting in January, 2018, staff recommends that: • The 1/3 taxable allowance for Councilors and Mayor be removed • That gross salaries of the Mayor and Council be increased by an equivalent amount to maintain their net income or after tax remuneration. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In accordance with the Municipal Act, City Council has passed resolutions in the past during its terms of Council to continue to deem 1/3 of the total Remuneration paid to elected officials as expenses incidental to the discharge of their duties. As a result, under the authority of the Federal Income Tax Act, one-third of the income paid to the Mayor and Councilors has been considered as non-taxable. Since this resolution was not repealed before January 1, 2003, the Municipal Act deems this resolution to be a municipal by-law. However, in the 2017 federal government budget, this tax-free allowance was eliminated starting in 2019. Municipal elected officials will now have 100 percent of their remuneration subject to payroll taxation, Revoking this one-third tax free allowance will necessitate the question of whether to "top up" the Mayor and Council's salary to offset this tax-free allowance and to account for the increased employer contributions to CPP and OMERS. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Maintaining the 1/3 taxable allowance provides the following advantages: tax savings to the individual lower costs to the Corporation less policy or an administrative burden to monitor/approve expenses reasonable discretion allowed to Council/Mayor Page 262 of 458 Removing the 1/3 taxable allowance provides the following advantages: increased transparency regarding expenses/costs increased individual contributions to OMERS expense reimbursements for actual incurred costs provides administrative checks/balances on spending FINANCIALIMPLICATIONS In order to fully compensate for this taxable remuneration, the gross salaries of the Mayor and Council members would be required to increase in order to maintain their current "after-tax" net income. Therefore, the total annual cost to the corporation to change this provision would cost approximately $57,000 (2017). SUMMARY: Changes resulting from this year's federal budget will eliminate the one-third tax free allowance enjoyed by Council councillors across Canada, which were initially intended offset travel costs and Council business related expenses. As a result, consideration needs to be given to top up remuneration to offset these costs and taxable deductions now required starting in January, 2018. Council is required under the Municipal Act to review the one-third tax free allowance once during their term.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2017-27 Commercial Parking Lots Improvement Project Our File No. 2014-97 RECOMMENDATION L-2017-27 November 28, 2017 Council pass an amending by-law to Schedule 11 — "Commercial Parking Lots" of the City's Licensing By-law No. 2001-31, to require commercial parking lots to be paved, tc clarify the required setbacks, and to be drained by drainage works satisfactory to the Director of Municipal Works. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Commercial parking lots have been a subject of concern for the Victoria Centre BIA for many years. The matter has been raised with Staff a number of times without a satisfactory resolution being achieved. The matter has been raised again and, given the recent changes in the by-law enforcement structure and staffing, it is proposed that a fresh initiative to addressing this matter be undertaken. Staff proposes renewed enforcement of the Commercial Parking Lot Licensing By-law, with a view to establishing a workable and enforceable scheme of commercial parking lot regulations and standards. The new standards will be introduced gradually, over time, so that Staff are not overwhelmed with the task and owners are given adequate time to comply with the by-law. BACKGROUND Since at least 2001, the City has had by-law regulations in place to govern the maintenance and development standards of commercial parking lots. These regulations have not been rigorously enforced. For quite some time, the Victoria Centre BIA has been suggesting that the by-law be enforced. Staff are proposing to begin a program of enforcing the by-law. Given the recent improvements along Victoria Avenue, the lots that front upon Victoria Avenue in the newly renovated area will be the first lots to be investigated. The very first lot to be addressed will be the lot that is under construction at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Magdalen Street; the site of the former Casa D'oro restaurant. The new owners of this lot have volunteered to serve as a test case for the development of the improved regulatory scheme. In the course of working with this owner, Staff have Page 264 of 458 2 L-2017-27 November 28, 2017 come to the conclusion that certain sections of the 2001 by-law are in need of revision. In particular, Staff suggest amending the by-law to delete gravel and other forms of loose stone as an acceptable service; clarify the section requiring setback from neighbouring lands to be a maximum of one meter; and delete an article of the by-law which refers to landscaping. There have already been meetings with the proponents of the Victoria Avenue and Magdalen Street parking lot and approvals have been proceeding under the existing by- law. The proposed amendments are a result of Staff deliberations and the interactions of Staff with the proponents of the test case, and are acceptable to Staff and to the Board of Management of the Victoria Centre BIA. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The proposed amendments would establish a standard that is acceptable to the organization that represents the majority of the landowners in the area of the City which has been the subject of a number of historic complaints. (Victoria Centre) Further amendments and policies will be brought forward for approval, as the enforcement initiative along Victoria Avenue proceeds. Once the initial stage of enforcement along Victoria Avenue is complete, Staff intends to move forward with applying the resulting regulatory scheme elsewhere in the City. While existing parking lots will be given time to comply with the regulations, any application to establish a new commercial parking lot will be made to comply with the updated regulations. FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS No additional Staff is required to administer this stage of the enforcement initiative. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed by-law amendments are in keeping with Council's commitment to the creation of a well-planned City. Recommended by: Respectfully submitted: No Ken Beaman, City Solicitor Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 265 of 458 Niagara,aIl�s REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2017-28 Permission to Enter Agreements with the Region of Niagara Our File No. 2012-151 RECOMMENDATION L-2017-28 November 28, 2017 That the Director of Municipal Works be authorized to execute agreements in a form acceptable to the City Solicitor, permitting Niagara Regional Staff to enter City owned lands, in the course of their duties. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Region of Niagara has been sending draft agreements to the City of Niagara Falls. The agreements are intended to secure the permission of the City to allow Staff of the Region to enter City lands to carry out routine Regional work. The agreements define the work to be carried out and address issues like restoration. Currently, in order to sign such an agreement, City Staff would have to report to Council to obtain authority to do so, thereby delaying whatever project the Region and City are trying to undertake. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE While such agreements appear to City Staff to be a touch bureaucratic, in the interests of maintaining smooth interactions between the Region and the City, Staff is recommending that Council delegate the authority to sign such agreements, in a form acceptable to the City Solicitor, to the Director of Municipal Works. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed agreements are in keeping with Council's commitment to customer service excellence and organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Recommended by: Ken Beaman, City Solicitor Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer M Page 266 of 458 Niagara,aIl�s REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2017-30 Lot Drainage Problems Our File No. 2007-338 RECOMMENDATION L-2017-30 November 28, 2017 That an In Camera education session of Council be held, pursuant to section 239(3.1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, early in the new year, to receive information about the law concerning the drainage of land and the legal mechanisms available to Council to address such issues. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Drainage of land is a topic that has vexed municipalities for many, many years. The City of Niagara Falls is no exception. In order to assist Council in its efforts to address drainage issues, Staff proposes holding an education session for Council, early in the new year. The purpose of this session is to provide Council with a basic outline of the law governing surface drainage and the practical limitations that are encountered when addressing drainage issues. BACKGROUND The City frequently receives complaints about drainage problems. The City has several by-laws and access to legal avenues to address such issues. Since at least August 30, 1978, Staff has been providing Reports on this topic. The Reports have been considered at Council in the same manner as most other Reports. The topic of drainage is far more complex than the topics of the vast majority of all other Reports. It would, therefore, be to the advantage of Council to dedicate the time to attend an educational session to achieve a greater depth of knowledge of this topic. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE It is submitted, that when supplied with a more detailed description of the issue of lot drainage, together with detailed information about the various mechanisms the law has developed in an effort to address such issues, Council will be in a better position to determine what steps, if any, it intends to take to address drainage issues. Page 267 of 458 2 L-2017-30 November 28, 2017 FINANCIAL/STAFFING IMPLICATIONS The required information will be prepared by Staff. There will be no other costs. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed education session is in keeping with Council's commitment to customer service excellence, organizational efficiency and effectiveness, and the creation of a well-planned City. Recommended by: Ken Beaman, City Solicitor Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer M Page 268 of 458 Niagara,aIl�s REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2017-31 RFP for Integrity Commissioner(s) Our File No. 2017-180 RECOMMENDATION L-2017-31 November 28, 2017 That the City of Niagara Falls issue a Request for Proposal seeking an Integrity Commissioner(s). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Provincial government has enacted legislation which will require all municipalities within Ontario to retain an Integrity Commissioner. The City of Niagara Falls, therefore, must retain an Integrity Commissioner on or before March 1, 2019. BACKGROUND The practice of the City of Niagara Falls has been to retain an Integrity Commissioner as and when required. The Province has amended the Municipal Act, 2001, requiring all municipalities to appoint a permanent Integrity Commissioner. This provision of the Municipal Act, 2001, becomes compulsory as of March 1, 2019. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The opportunity presented by this amendment has expanded the field of potential Integrity Commissioners. There is also some uncertainty as to whether or not one, or at least two, Integrity Commissioners are required by each municipality. Certain leading municipal law scholars recommend that a municipality retain at least two Integrity Commissioners; one to deal with issues of conflict of interest in response to inquiries from individual Councillors; and a second Integrity Commissioner to deal with allegations of breach of the City of Niagara Falls Councillors Code of Conduct. The scenario that would lead to the need for two Integrity Commissioners would occur when a given Councillor seeks advice from the Integrity Commissioner concerning the application of the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act to a particular matter. Having received that advice, the Councillor, in good faith, participates in the Council's deliberations about the matter. Subsequently, a complaint is made that the Councillor violated the Code of Conduct by participating in the deliberations concerning that particular matter. Page 269 of 458 2 L-2017-31 November 28, 2017 Having already made a determination on the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act issue, the Integrity Commissioner who provided the advice to the Councillor would have, himself/herself, a conflict of interest. That person could not be expected to approach the allegation of breach of the Code of Conduct from a neutral perspective. The scenario is further complicated by the fact that advice concerning the interpretation and application of the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act is legal advice. This means that the first Integrity Commissioner must be a lawyer. The Councillor who sought his/her advice becomes a client of that lawyer. That lawyer could not subsequently advise the City, whose interests are not one and the same as the Councillor's, on the same matter. The RFP will enable City Staff to canvass the field of candidates to solicit their proposed solutions to this particular issue. Staff also hopes to explore the possibility of appointing a candidate who has ready access to persons who could act in their stead. When one person is exclusively the Integrity Commissioner of the municipality, this can lead to delays in the delivery of Integrity Commissioner Reports. In turn, this leads to frustration both for the person being investigated and the complainant. Staff submits that, as a general rule, the sooner an Integrity Commissioner complaint is investigated and reported, the better. In the contemplated appointment, Council would appoint a given individual or his or her nominee, as the Integrity Commissioner(s). Another advantage of this arrangement is that it would avoid allegations of bias from the person being investigated, should the same person be the subject of two complaints. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS it is anticipated that most respondents to the RFP will bill by the hour. The financial impact of the appointment will, therefore, depend on the number of times the service is used. It is hoped that the number of new entries in the field may lower the hourly rate for an Integrity Commissioner. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed Recommendation is in keeping with Council's commitment to organizational efficiency and effectiveness.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW -2017-47 Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision Update RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the early assumption of the Stormwater Management Pond Block as outlined in this report; and 2. That Council approve the return of Part 2 of Block 92 to Queensway Chippawa Props. Inc., as three separate lots. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision is developing by Stages, specifically 1and1A through 5. To date Stages 1, 1A, 2 and 3 have been registered, Stage 4 servicing is under construction and Stage 5 is expected to advance in early 2018. The Subdivider, Queensway Chippawa Props. Inc., is working toward assumption of Stages 1 and 1A and has requested that Block 92 (formerly Block 368) previously dedicated to the City for use as a temporary emergency access be returned to them provided the City no longer requires the property. Staff recommends that Part 2 of the block be returned as three lots and that Part 1 be used for the construction of a paved walkway to be constructed by the developer and at no cost to the City. With the completion of Stage 3 and the release of occupancy permits for the area, it is recommended that Emerald and Tallgrass Avenues remain open to Willick Road and that concerns related to construction traffic be mitigated through a street cleaning program, signage and communication with the home builders. Early assumption of the stormwater management pond by the City is recommended, to provide an opportunity to advance and coordinate the final development of both the pond and park blocks while providing the municipality added flexibility to respond to maintenance concerns. The purpose of this report is to update Council on the status of the Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision development and to seek Council's direction regarding the completion and eventual assumption of this subdivision. BACKGROUND The Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision encompasses approximately 43 hectares and has been developing in stages since 2012. To date, Stages 1, 1A, 2 and 3 have been Page 271 of 458 2 MW -2017-40 November 28, 2017 registered. Stage 4 pre -servicing is currently under construction and the final Stage 5 will advance in early 2018. (Attachment 1) The Subdivider, is presently working toward final assumption of Stage 1 and 1A. Block 92 (formerly Block 368) — Emergency Secondary Access In the initial stages of Phase 2, there was only a single access into the subdivision from Mann Street. As a consequence, an emergency access was required as Condition 12 of the Draft Plan Approval, specifically: "The developer dedicate Block 368 to the City as an emergency access for this development and Lyon's Parkway. This access shall be required at least until there is a street connection to Willick Road. If it is determined that Block 368 is no longer required in the future for access or intersection alteration, this land shall be returned to the developer." Block 92 is comprised of Parts 1 and 2 and with the understanding that the block may one day be returned, municipal infrastructure, specifically a 300mm diameter sanitary sewer and 200mm diameter watermain were strategically aligned along the north property line within Part 1. Construction Vehicles As construction progressed with Stage 1A and 2 of the subdivision, Mann Street remained the single access to the new development. A number of new residents became increasingly frustrated with the on-going home building and the related construction traffic, noise, dust/dirt and mud tracking. Despite efforts by the Subdivider to increase street cleaning, post signage and communicate regularly with the home builders, it proved difficult to control the impacts of construction. Construction traffic and dirt complaints by existing occupants of the subdivision were significantly reduced during Stage 3 when construction access was restricted to Willick Road. Barriers were erected at the limits of Tallgrass and Emerald Avenues between Stage 2 and 3 works to facilitate the same. Access to Willick Road Stage 3 works included the extension of Emerald Avenue south to Willick Road. Tallgrass Avenue was also extended and provided access to Willick Road through two cross roads, Eclipse Way and Shuttleworth Drive. Once these extensions were paved, existing residents requested that the barriers between the Stage 2 and 3 works be removed to provide a secondary access to the subdivision; the barriers were subsequently removed the week of September 1, 2017. Following the removal of the barriers, a second group of residents reached out to a member of Council requesting the barriers be reinstated to limit the risk of increased Page 272 of 458 3 MW -2017-40 November 28, 2017 construction traffic, noise and mud tracking throughout the occupied stages of the subdivision. Grass Cutting The developer remains responsible for the maintenance and operation of all works within the subdivision until the facilities are assumed by the City. To satisfy this obligation, the Subdivider has a twice monthly grass cutting program to maintain the landscaped areas including the frontage of the stormwater management pond, the pond access road, emergency access and boulevards. Stormwater Management Pond In new subdivisions, stormwater management ponds are typically the first piece of infrastructure constructed and the last to be assumed by the municipality. The stormwater management pond within Chippawa West Phase 2 has been designed and constructed in conformance with the Ministry of the Environment design guidelines as an extended detention wet pond to control stormwater quantity, improve stormwater quality and provide erosion control at the Lyon's creek outlet. The pond is comprised of a sediment forebay and wet pond. The sediment forebay facilitates maintenance and improves pollutant removal by trapping larger particles. Runoff that is collected and conveyed throughout the subdivision is discharged into the forebay to encourage pre-treatment through sediment settling. The forebay is separate from the rest of the pond by an earthen berm that may be submerged below the permanent pool at times. The current standard is that these ponds be permitted to `naturalize' over time - they are not designed to be manicured. Vegetation within and around the ponds serves many purposes including: • The promotion of settlement and filtration of the wet weather flows that are collected, retained and eventually released to the natural environment; • Stabilization of banks, shorelines and slopes; • Mitigation of the effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen which will inhibit the growth of algae; • Deterrence of geese and the other waterfowl from colonizing and contaminating the facility; • Provision of a barrier to mitigate public access; and • Aesthetic benefits. Typically and as is the case with the Chippawa West Phase 2 pond, the Subdivider is required to clean the pond prior to final assumption by the City given that sediment loading is at its highest during development of the subdivision. To that end, formal landscaping of the area is deferred to the end of the project. Page 273 of 458 MW -2017-40 November 28, 2017 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Block 92 (formerly Block 368) — Emergency Secondary Access Given that a permanent secondary access to the Subdivision has been constructed out to Willick Road, the Subdivider is eager to assume and develop the emergency access (Block 92) into three lots, provided the municipality no longer requires the property. The following considerations were reviewed with the aim of determining whether the municipality required Block 92 or if the property could be returned to the developer as described within the Subdivider's Agreement: • Regional staff do not support additional traffic to the the intersection of Lyon's Parkway and the Region's `Lyons Creek Road given the intersection geometry. • Alternatively, closing Lyon's Parkway access to Lyon's Creek Road in favour of routing existing parkway residents through the subdivision would not be supported by the affected public and would additionally fail to provide an access. • The Fire Department will respond to emergencies via the Willick Road access as it provides a more direct route; • To retain the emergency access will require on-going maintenance. To that end, it is proposed that the Part 2 be returned to the developer as three separate lots and as a condition of the same, a walkway across Part 1 (over the municipal infrastructure) be constructed to City standards to provide pedestrian connectivity. (See Attachment 2) Construction Vehicles and Access to Willick Road Emerald Avenue constructed south to Willick Road provides an important second access to the subdivision. Additionally, with the release of occupancy permits for properties in Stage 3 new residents will need the Willick Road access. To mitigate the concerns of the existing residents who would prefer to have Stage 3 blocked off from the remainder of the subdivision, the Subdivider has initiated a twice weekly street program to supplement the home builder's cleaning efforts. The program started October 23, 2017 and will continue as necessary and weather permits. City forces will snowplough all paved roads within the subdivision. Stormwater Management Pond and Grass Cutting The landscaping of the stormwater management pond has not been finalized however it has begun to naturalize. Despite efforts by the Subdivider to maintain the pond and surrounding area during the ongoing construction of the subdivision, residents have not been satisfied with the level of service. Contributing to the resident dissatisfaction has been marketing materials that have created unrealistic expectations. Page 274 of 458 5 MW -2017-40 November 28, 2017 Funding for the construction of the abutting park block currently under design has been requested for 2018 which will include recreational linkages between both the park and pond blocks. (See Attachment 3) As such, early assumption of the stormwater management pond by the City is recommended and would provide an opportunity to advance and coordinate the final development of both blocks while providing the municipality added flexibility to respond to maintenance concerns. The costs to clean and landscape the pond by the municipality will be offset by cash -in - lieu provision by the Subdivider to release him from this obligation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS All costs related to the transfer of Block 92 (survey, legal etc.) will be borne by the developer. Additional costs related to the assumption of the Stormwater Management Pond block shall be off -set by a cash -in -lieu payment to the City. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The development of Chippawa West Subdivision meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priority for building and promoting a vibrant, sustainable city that supports an active and creative community.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Municipal Works MW -2017-50 Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review RECOMMENDATION 1. Council adopt the recommendations of the City of Niagara Falls Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review. 2. That funding to implement the recommendations be referred to the 2018 Capital Budget deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review is a comprehensive, internal review of all services and activities related to the public outdoor tennis and basketball courts owned and operated by the City of Niagara Falls. The review analyzed the existing conditions and distribution of tennis and basketball courts throughout the City of Niagara Falls. Furthermore it compares them to guiding documents such as the Strategic Plan for the Provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts & Culture and the Official Plan. At the direction of Council (MW -2016-139) City staff conducted 2 public engagement campaigns to gather information and solicit comment on these facilities. The consensus results of these campaigns are reflected in the Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review — November 2017 Draft (attachment 1). This document recommends the investment of $2.2 million for tennis courts and $1.5 million for basketball courts. The investments are recommended to be implemented over a 2 year period. BACKGROUND Municipal Works undertook the Service Delivery Review to assist in developing a long term plan that will improve community accessibility and playability of public outdoor basketball and tennis courts throughout the City of Niagara Falls. The objective of this plan is to recommend the type, number and location of future basketball and tennis Page 279 of 458 2 MW -2017-50 November 28, 2017 courts that will provide the desired level of service to the public, while promoting the longevity and ease of maintenance of tennis and basketball courts for years to come. Numerous City owned tennis courts and basketball courts will require refurbishment over the next 10 years. A key component of this service delivery review is to ensure that the City is investing wisely in these facilities. On September 27, 2016 Council directed to staff (MW -2016-39) to undertake public engagement and report back with the findings. Staff undertook the engagement through a two-step process. The first round of public consultation occurred in the fall of 2016 and focused on gathering information about resident needs and desires for these services. From this information staff developed a proposed Tennis and Basketball strategy to reflect the feed -back and have regard for municipal policies. This proposed strategy was then presented back to the Niagara Falls residents during the second round of public consultation for final feed -back in October -November 2017. Presentations were made to the Niagara Falls Recreation Committee prior to each public engagement. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE City staff received numerous reoccurring comments through the process. These consensus type comments helped to shape the proposed tennis and basketball strategy. The most common comments included; • Maintain tennis and basketball play within existing parks. Play should remain within existing neighbourhood parks. • Ensure that the facilities are built to quality standards. Tennis courts need to have surfacing and basketball courts should be full size. • Facilities should be multi-purpose. Tennis courts should include Pickleball lines and basketball courts should accommodate ball hockey along with other court games. City staff incorporated these comments and others within the development of the Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review, November 2017 Draft. A recommended tennis and basketball implementation schedule and map are provided as Attachments #2 and #3. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff estimated that the costs to implement recommended Tennis and Basketball improvements will require the investment of $2.2 million for tennis courts and $1.5 million for basketball courts. To meet the desires of residents, staff are recommending that the improvements are phased -in over a 2 year period. This would require the investment of $1.85 million in year 1 and another $1.85 million in year 2. Page 280 of 458 3 MW -2017-50 November 28, 2017 Funding to support this investment strategy should be referred to the annual capital budget process for consideration. No staffing or legal implications are anticipated. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priorities by implementing the City's Strategic Plan for the provision of Parks, Recreation, Arts and Culture.

This provides residents with fair and consistent access to recreational opportunities. To aide in implementation Community Planning Areas are used. Currently tennis and basketball services are not provided consistently across many urban Community Planning Areas. Refer to Appendix 1 for mapping that illustrates facility distribution. Park services are delivered in a hierarchy system of parks. These are City-wide Park, Community Parks and Neighbourhood Parks. Tennis courts services are intended to be delivered in only in City-wide and Community level parks. Whereas basketball court services can be provided in all three levels of parks.

The purpose of this was to get help from Niagara Falls residents about how the City should be delivering the service of tennis and basketball. November 2016 and October/November 2017 Public Out -Reach Summary • Print and digital media advertisements • Social media (Facebook 683 Clicks) • Mailings (approx. 3000 sent) • 2016 Tennis survey (405 responses), 2017 survey (32 responses) • Approx. 35 written/phone comments • 3 Public Information Centres • Nov. 10, 2016 @ Gale Centre (10 attendees) • Nov. 14, 2016 @ MacBain CC (22 attendees) • Nov. 8, 2017 @ Gale Centre (13 Attendees) City staff received a lot of good feed -back from the public consultation campaigns in 2016 and 2017. A general consensus from the public was noted on a number of tennis and basketball related matters. Consensus Tennis Comments • Service delivery policies don't match community desires. • Most users consider themselves as being casual players. • Weekend/mid-day preferred. Spring/Fall play is preferred. • Most users like to walk to courts — More frequent court users are generally willing to drive to a good court. Page 289 of 458 Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review November 2017 — Draft • Casual users not supportive of pay -for -play (user fees). More active users are often more supportive of pay -for -play. • No capacity issues. Users generally don't wait a long time to use courts. • Belief that courts are in bad shape. Better courts will result in more play. • No support to remove tennis from any location. • Lit courts for after dark use are desired. • Parking is needed at courts. • Tennis nets should be installed earlier in the spring. • Build courts to higher standards. There is a preference for an acrylic play surface. • Pickle ball lines need to be added at most courts. Purpose built pickleball courts is desired. • Support for high quality destination courts (tennis complex). • Add benches/bleachers and trees around courts to encourage group activities. Consensus Basketball Comments • More basketball courts are needed in many parts of the City. • Ball hockey courts should be integrated into basketball courts along with other casual use activities like hopscotch. • Users identify themselves as being casual players. No leagues use City outdoor basketball courts. • People like to walk to courts. • There is some desire for lit courts. • Add benches and trees around courts. • Better courts will result in more play. Basketball courts should be full-size for proper game play.

Service Delivery Standard 1. Tennis and basketball service shall be provided a rate that has regard for but is not bound by the existing policy service delivery standards. 2. Based on current needs, the number of tennis courts shall be reduced to 25 and the number of basketball courts shall be increased to 36. This will bring court services more in-line with City policies while maintaining service delivery in park locations that residents are accustomed to. 3. Service delivery needs shall be reviewed periodically for changes due to population growth and land development. Implementation 4. New, refurbished and removed courts shall be generally in accordance with the Recommended Tennis and Basketball Implementation schedule. Refer to Appendix 2. 5. The City shall work with the school boards to seek opportunities to establish shared public use facilities that solve deficiencies in the service delivery system. 6. The City shall formalize a public use agreement with the DSBN for the A.N. Myer tennis and basketball complex. 7. The City shall explore opportunities to provide a multi-purpose basketball court within the Queen Victoria Community Planning Area. 8. The requirements for a larger 6 to 8 court tennis complex shall be referred to the next Strategic Plan for Parks and Recreation for further study. Service Changes 9. Any court removals shall occur through a phase-out process. The phase-out process will be triggered by a court becoming un -safe or the implementation of recreational facility improvements within the park. 10. Tennis and basketball services shall remain in all parks where the service is currently provided except where the service is provided in numerous other locations within walking distance. In these circumstances the City shall engage with the neighbourhood about providing other needed neighbourhood recreational amenities in conjunction with court removal. Facility 11. New and reconstructed tennis courts shall be constructed with an acrylic or similar premium tennis surface for desired play. 12. New and reconditioned basketball courts shall integrate with multi-purpose components such as ball hockey and other court games. Except where not possible, all basketball courts shall be full-size. 10 Page 291 of 458 Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review November 2017 — Draft 13. Where possible, decommissioned tennis courts will be replaced with new multi-purpose basketball courts. This creates facilities that are easier to maintain and provides a broad amount of recreational opportunities. 14. The need for lit courts to allow for after -dark use shall be referred to the next Strategic Plan for Parks and Recreation for further study. 15. Pickleball lines shall be added to tennis courts. 16. Improvements to tennis and basketball courts shall include the installation of seating, bike racks and shade trees along with accessible pathways. 17. The need for purpose built pickleball courts shall be referred to the next Strategic Plan for Parks and Recreation for further study. Operational 18. City staff will explore options to annually install tennis nets earlier in the spring and takedown later in the fall. Financial Investment The implementation of the recommendations requires significant investment. To aid in planning we looked at what works needed to happen within the next 10 years. New or poor condition courts will require full construction works whereas existing courts that are in relativity good shape may not need much (if any) work over the next decade. Based on this we have determined what we level of capital investment is required. • $2.2 million for tennis court improvements • $1.5 million for basketball court improvements Although for costing purposes we looked at a 10 year period, this doesn't mean that the works need to be phase-in over a decade. Improvements could be completed sooner. Timing of investments into the courts can impact numerous factors. These may include; service delivery level, service delivery quality, maintenance burden and short term capital requirements. 11 Page 292 of 458 Tennis and Basketball Service Delivery Review November 2017 — Draft HIGH — Closed tennis MODERATE - Closed LOW — Closed tennis courts are fixed in the tennis courts are fixed courts are fixed over a first year and the over a couple of years number of years and the number of new and the number of new number of new basketball courts basketball courts basketball courts increases quickly. increase slower.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD -2017-34 AM -32/2005, Zoning By-law Amendment Application Chippawa West Phase 2 — Stage 4 Plan of Subdivision Applicant: Queensway Chippawa Properties Inc. (Metrus Developments) Removal of Holding (H) Symbol RECOMMENDATION That Council pass the by-law appearing on tonight's agenda to remove the holding (H) symbol from the subject lands, which are currently zoned R3(H)-760, to permit another stage of the Chippawa West subdivision to be developed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • In 2006, By-law No. 2006-205 was approved to regulate the development of the Chippawa West plan of subdivision. A holding (H) regulation was included in the By- law to ensure sufficient servicing capacity existed before the lands were developed. • The plan of subdivision has been developed in stages and the holding (H) regulation has been required to be removed with each stage. • The applicant is seeking to register a further stage of the subdivision (Phase 2 - Stage 4), consisting of 48 lots for single detached dwellings and 24 lots for 48 semi- detached dwelling units. • The holding (H) symbol can be removed from the subject lands because the Regional Municipality of Niagara and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment are satisfied there is capacity to service this stage. BACKGROUND Proposal Queensway Chippawa Properties Inc. (Metrus Developments) is the developer of the Chippawa West plan of subdivision which is located between Lyon's Parkway, Sodom Road and Willick Road. They have submitted a letter requesting the removal of the holding (H) symbol that still applies to a portion of the subdivision. The location of the next stage of the plan of subdivision to be developed is illustrated on Schedule 1. In 2006, the Ontario Municipal Board approved Zoning By-law No. 2006-205, which facilitates the development of this subdivision and zones the subject lands Residential Mixed (R3(H)-760). The subdivision is intended to be developed in stages as servicing capacity becomes available. Three stages have been registered already and the current Page 308 of 458 PBD -2017-34 November 28, 2017 stage providing 48 lots for single detached dwellings and 24 lots for 48 semi-detached dwelling units is intended to be registered later this year. Schedule 2 illustrates the proposed stage. Due to the limited servicing capacity in Chippawa, a holding (H) symbol was included in the by-law to ensure the subdivision was not developed until sufficient water, sanitary and stormwater servicing capacity was available and approvals were received from the City, the Region and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). The Region on behalf of themselves and the MOE have indicated that there is servicing capacity for this stage. As such, the developer wishes to proceed and is requesting the holding symbol to be removed from lands in this phase so that the lots can be built upon. Circulation Comments The Planning Act requires notice of the removal of a holding (H) symbol 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 removal of the holding (H) symbol was circulated to the applicant and the Regional Municipality of Niagara. The Region of Niagara has no objections to the request. ANALYSIS The applicant has received the necessary approvals to service this stage of the overall development from the appropriate authorities. There is currently sufficient capacity in the sanitary sewer system to service the 96 dwelling units in this stage. As the requirement of the holding (H) symbol has been met, it can be removed from the subject lands. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The request does not affect any of the City's strategic commitments.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2017-13 Canada Summer Games Baseball Complex RECOMMENDATION R&C-2017-13 November 28, 2017 1. To receive and refer the W.L. Houck and Oakes Park, Canada Games Baseball Training and Competitive Complex, Legacy Project proposal to the 2018 capital budget process. 2. To allow staff to enter into a revised non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canada Summer Games 2021 Host Society. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2021 Canada Summer Games will be held throughout the Niagara Region August, 2021. For approximately seven days Oakes Park will host the baseball competition. The City has agreed to upgrade Oakes Park dugouts, bull pens and fencing to adhere to the required technical specifications. Canada Games will contribute 50% of the costs to upgrade the park. Canada Summer Games will also create legacy projects throughout the Niagara Region. The facilities will be used to train athletes and to host regional, provincial and national events. One of the proposed regional legacy projects is to provide a superior baseball training and competition complex in Niagara Falls at W.L. Houck Park and Oakes Park, draft concept is attached. The proposed legacy project includes the construction of an artificial turf baseball diamond at W. L. Houck Park. The park is adjacent to Oakes Park and will be the warm up diamond for Canada Summer Games athletes. Upon the conclusion of the games, both parks will become a high level baseball training and competition facility. The parks will be outfitted with improved batting cages and a diamond that can be permitted for eight months instead of four months for games. The cost to construct the diamond and related facilities will be shared by the City and the Canada Summer Games, 50/50 split. Page 312 of 458 2 BACKGROUND R&C-2017-13 November 28, 2017 Registration for baseball in the City of Niagara Falls continues to increase every year. The GNBA registration numbers have increased from 597 participants in 2015, to 800 participants in 2017. The local youth baseball organizations have requested additional senior diamonds and enhanced training facilities over the last few years. The proposed legacy project will provide the requested facilities at a 50% cost to the City. The proposed project has been discussed with and supported by GNBA, the Recreation Committee and other local baseball stakeholders. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Canada Summer Games 2021 will attract thousands of athletes and spectators to the Niagara Region. The proposed Baseball Legacy Project will develop a complex for the youth in Niagara Falls to enjoy for many years. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The cost to build the artificial turf diamond and training centre is approximately two million dollars. If the proposal is approved, the City will receive 50% funding from Summer Games for Legacy project. 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.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2017-15 Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre Liquor License Endorsement RECOMMENDATION That Council endorses the Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre application to obtain a year round liquor sales license to enhance and introduce new programming and Special Events. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre is a vibrant centre with many social activities and programs offered each week. Staff would like to develop exciting new programming and social events, with the ability to serve beer and wine covered by a generic liquor sales license. BACKGROUND The Coronation Centre has many social events throughout the year, including weekly and monthly social gatherings. Currently if the Centre wants to sell any alcohol at an event, staff applies for an individual Special Occasion Permit (SOP). In May of this year staff met with an Inspector from the Liquor and Lottery Compliance Branch who toured the Coronation Centre. Mr. Sharpe reported he had no concerns with Coronation applying for a liquor sales license. He gave his suggestions as to which rooms of the building should be licensed. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Senior Centres such as Bowmanville, Ottawa, Elliott Lake, and Brampton have licenses to sell liquor. Events such as fundraising luncheons, dinner and dances and special event lunches all benefit from the ability to sell alcohol. Coronation would also have similar programs and for special holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving we would sell wine to patrons of the Craft House Cafe located at the Coronation Centre. In addition exciting new programs could also be introduced such as wine and cheese Page 315 of 458 2 R&C-2017-15 November 28, 2017 evenings, partnerships with local breweries to offer wine pairing evenings, paint nights, open Mic nights, Trivia Nights and so on. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are many benefits to obtaining a liquor license to sell alcoholic beverages at Coronation. The sale of alcohol can generate much higher profit margins as opposed to or in combination with food. It should be understood that staff and volunteers will need to be completely trained in the regulations of serving alcohol within Coronation therefore `Smart Serve' training will be mandatory. This will be viewed as a safety program. A list of house policies will be developed which competently addresses all employees/volunteers must know and strictly adhere to all applicable laws. Further, a copy of the Municipal Alcohol Risk Management Policy will also be shared with staff and volunteers. Staff researched a cost evaluation for obtaining a liquor license for only beer and wine to be sold. Based on special events, Christmas, volunteer appreciation, Cafe sales and regular programming it is estimated that a gross yearly profit would be in the region of $2,807.76. Staff has liaised with the Risk Management department who has communicated with Cowan, the City's insurance agent to ensure that our current policy provides coverage for liquor sales liability in the manner required. Cowan confirmed that there is no extra cost to the insurance coverage at Coronation by obtaining a liquor license if sales are under $5000 per year. The cost of a new liquor Sales license valid for two years is $1,055. The renewal application license is valid for three years and costs $450.00. 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.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2017-17 Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre Membership Fee Increase RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the annual membership fee of the Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre be raised by $1.00 for a total of $31.00 fee effective January 1, 2018. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fees charged for the use of recreation facilities such as the Coronation Centre provide offsetting revenue for the tax payer subsidized cost of operating community facilities. The annual operating costs of recreation facilities (i.e., Coronation) generally increase each year as result of the increased costs of utilities, maintenance, as well as annual adjustments to wages. The Coronation Centre Advisory Committee held its regular Advisory Meeting on Thursday, November 9, 2017. A motion was passed with a majority vote in favour of the annual $1.00 increase to the Coronation Centre membership rate effective January 1, 2018. BACKGROUND The Coronation Centre has charged an annual membership fee ever since its inception. A membership fee is paid to the Coronation Centre to be entitled to participate in all programs and activities. Membership is required for privileges and voting rights at the annual general meeting. The membership dues help defray the costs associated with the running of the Coronation Centre. Currently, the yearly membership rate is $30.00 for a resident of Niagara Falls and $35.00 for a non-resident. Page 317 of 458 2 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE R&C-2017-17 November 28, 2017 To remain competitive staff contacted municipalities to compare membership rates. The Niagara Falls rates are in line and competitively priced. Municipality 2017 Membership Rates Niagara Falls $30.00 St Catharines $53.25 Welland $28.00 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Coronation Centre membership fees do not generate adequate revenue to cover the full cost of operations; this includes regular drop-in fees for attending programs. As a result, the residual costs are offset by other revenue streams including property tax levy. Thus, these reasonable rate increases are required to minimize impacts on the levy. Historically, the membership fee has increased $1.00 per year on January 1st Staff is recommending to keep in line with this schedule in advance of the annual corporate July 1, 2018, Rates and Fees Report. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Financial Strategic Priority, by increasing the annual membership fees by $1.00 for the next five years will enhance revenues at City facilities.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Transportation Services Department TS -2017-38 Royal Manor Drive — Parking Review RECOMMENDATION TS -2017-38 November 28, 2017 That a parking prohibition be established on both sides of Royal Manor Drive between a point 75 metres northwest of Dorchester Road and a point 240 metres northwest of Dorchester Road. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recommended "no parking" zone is meant to prohibit drivers from parking on Royal Manor Drive at and near the curves and improve safety. BACKGROUND Staff received concerns that drivers are parking their vehicles on Royal Manor Drive at the end of the new trail which is located near a sharp curve in the road. The Canada 150th Pathway opened for public use in summer 2017. The one -kilometre trail extends from Royal Manor Drive and connected with the existing Millennium Trail from Lundy's Lane to McLeod Road. Royal Manor Drive is a circuitous road that extends from Dorchester Road to Lundy's Lane and is the primarily entrance into the subdivision. Currently, there are no signed parking restrictions on Royal Manor Drive in the vicinity of the trail head. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE There is a sharp curve in the road immediately east of the trail. Sight lines are poor at the curve due to fencing and mature trees in the hydro corridor. Parked cars can further obstruct driver sight lines as they approach and proceed through the series of road curves. Eastbound traffic would need to partially shift to the left to avoid parked Page 319 of 458 TS -2017-38 November 28, 2017 vehicles, which could come as a surprise to opposing drivers as they proceed through the road bend to find a driver partially in their path. Staff is recommending that a parking prohibition be established on both sides of Royal Manor Drive between a point 75 metres northwest of Dorchester Road and a point 240 metres northwest of Dorchester Road. This will require drivers to park to the west of the trail end which is along a straight section of road and offers adequate sight lines to approaching traffic. The proposed restriction does not abut any residences. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2017 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to install the signs is approximately $1,000.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Transportation Services Department TS -2017-39 Garner Road — Speed Limit Review RECOMMENDATION TS -2017-39 November 28, 2017 That the speed limit on Garner Road between a point 210 metres north of Hendershot Boulevard and Thorold Stone Road be reduced from 80 km/h to 70 km/h. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The lower speed limit is warranted due to existing physical road conditions and traffic characteristics. BACKGROUND Staff received a request to review the possibility of a reduced speed limit on Garner Road between a point 210 metres north of Hendershot Boulevard and Thorold Stone Road. The speed limit in this section is 80 km/h. The speed limit in the abutting segments is 60 km/h. Garner Road is a City arterial road that extends in a north/south direction from Warner Road to Chippawa Creek Road. Within the study area, Garner Road is one lane in each direction with a narrow shoulder and ditch on each side. There is sporadic street lighting along this portion of Garner Road. The abutting land uses within the 2.4 km stretch of road consists of 15 residential properties, forested lands and undeveloped agricultural lands. The intersection of Garner Road and Beaverdams Road is controlled by an all -way stop while the intersection of Garner Road and Thorold Stone Road is controlled by traffic signals. The road is straight but contains a rolling/hilly terrain. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Garner Road within the study area carries approximately 3,600 cars daily. This is a fourfold increase in traffic since 2005 and can be attributed to the development of residential homes in the Garner Road and Lundy's Lane area. Page 322 of 458 TS -2017-39 November 28, 2017 Speed limits are set according to the road geometry and the prevailing operating speed. A speed study identified that the operating speed was 76 km/h for both north and south of Beaverdams Road. Staff collected information on the physical attributes of the road under review, including but not limited to the lane widths, roadside hazards, horizontal and vertical road alignments, number of accesses and intersections, and pedestrian and cycling activity. The information was fed into the Transportation Association of Canada's Speed Limit Warrants which assigns a risk value for the various warrant components. The guidelines identified that a 70 km/h speed limit is warranted on the section of Garner Road between a point 210 metres north of Hendershot Boulevard and Thorold Stone Road that is currently set at 80 km/h speed limit. Staff would not recommend lowering the speed limit to 60 km/h to match the speed limit on the abutting road segments, as those areas have more concentrated residential uses. A collision problem does not exist on Garner Road. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2017 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to replace the speed limit signs is approximately $1,000.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Transportation Services Department TS -2017-40 Pettit Avenue — Speed Control Review RECOMMENDATIONS TS -2017-40 November 28, 2017 1. That the speed control plan consisting of six (6) speed cushions on Pettit Avenue between Dorchester Road and the dead end south of Doreen Drive and a pedestrian crossover at the northern leg of the Pettit Avenue and Doreen Drive intersection be approved; 2. That construction of six (6) speed cushions on Pettit Avenue be referred to the 2018 Capital Budget deliberations; and, 3. That the yield sign on Crawford Street, Glenayr Avenue, Palis Crescent and Sherwood Road at Pettit Avenue be replaced with a stop sign. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A request was received from a Pettit Avenue resident for Staff to review the installation of speed control devices to curtail speeding concerns. Staff followed up with speed studies and noted that a speeding problem was present. Questionnaires distributed to all residents on Pettit Avenue garnered a majority support for speed control devices from the neighbourhood. A stop sign is recommended at four intersections along Pettit Avenue where a yield sign currently assigns the right-of-way. BACKGROUND The City received a petition from a Pettit Avenue resident to consider speed control devices on the street to mitigate speeding issues. Pettit Avenue is a two-lane, two-way residential collector road that extends 1.2 kilometres from Dorchester Road to a dead end south of Doreen Drive. Pettit Avenue has an urban cross-section consisting of an 8.0 metre asphalt width, curb and gutter on Page 325 of 458 2 TS -2017-40 November 28, 2017 both sides and a continuous sidewalk on each side. The legal speed limit is 50 km/h. Pettit Avenue is not a transit route, but is used by school bus drivers due to Cherrywood Acres School being located on Pettit Avenue. There is an all -way stop at Sheldon Avenue, at the approximate midpoint of Pettit Avenue. Glengate Park is located on the east side of Pettit Avenue between Crawford Street and Glenayr Avenue. There is also a church across the street from the school. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Speed studies were carried out, both in the morning and afternoon. The data identified that the operating speed is between 55 km/h both north and south of Sheldon Avenue. Staff considers a speeding problem when the operating speed exceeds the speed limit where there is at least one pedestrian generator, such as a school or a community park abutting the road. Given the study results and the existing sensitive land uses on Pettit Avenue, the technical component for speed control devices is fulfilled. Pettit Avenue carries approximately 2,300 cars daily near Dorchester Road and 750 cars daily south of Sheldon Street. These traffic volumes are within the expectations of a collector road. There is not a collision problem on Pettit Avenue. Given that a speeding problem was identified, Staff solicited the input of the neighbourhood on their preference for speed control devices. A total of 99 questionnaires were delivered to all property owners. Sixty (60) responses were received, representing a 61% response rate. Fifty-two (52) respondents identified that they are in support of speed control devices, which is a 53% support from neighbourhood. The response rate surpasses the minimum 51% of the residents on the streets that have to be in favour of speed control devices. Therefore, the residential component for speed control devices is fulfilled. Given that the neighbourhood was in support of speed mitigation measures, Staff developed a speed control plan that consisted of a series of speed cushions and a pedestrian crossover in front of the school. Speed cushions are a modified speed hump that has openings to allow vehicles with wider wheelbases, such as a fire truck or an ambulance, unencumbered passage. A driver of a passenger vehicle will have one side of their vehicle pass over the hump. Speed cushions are generally round or flat-topped encouraging motorists to drive over them at speeds of 30-40 km/h. Speed cushions have been constructed on Angie Drive in autumn 2016 as part of the subdivision speed control plan. No negative comments have been received from residents of Angie Drive or from the surrounding neighbourhood regarding these devices. A neighbourhood meeting was held on June 22, 2017 at the Gale Centre, to allow Pettit Avenue stakeholders the opportunity to review Staff's concept plan and provide comments. Residents from fourteen (14) Pettit Avenue households attended the open house. The public meeting material was posted on the City's website after the open Page 326 of 458 3 TS -2017-40 November 28, 2017 house for those that could not attend the meeting, and this information was identified in the open house notice. Comments were received from three (3) additional households. In total, twelve (12) residents provided comments on the speed control plan. Eight (8) residents supported the plan, all of whom have previously identified that they were in support of speed control. Four (4) residents identified that they did not want to have speed cushions installed on their street. The responses from the public meeting are similar to preferences of the questionnaire. However, the majority of the neighbourhood still remains in support of speed control on Pettit Avenue. Several residents, both in support and not in support of speed control, identified their desire to have additional all -way stops install on Pettit Avenue, with Glengate Street being the popular location. At the public meeting, Staff advised residents that all -way stop controls on their own are not meant to be used as speed control devices, and may not achieve the results the neighbourhood expects. All -way stops have little effect on speed beyond a 30 metre threshold of the intersection. Drivers tend to disobey the posted sign if there inconsistent traffic demand on the side street. Homeowners residing near Sheldon Street commented that many drivers are not fully stopping for the posted stop signs, particularly in the morning and afternoon when parents/guardians are transporting their kids to and from school. Staff recommends that the speed control plan be implemented first, then evaluate the possibility of installing all -way stop controls, where warranted, during the follow up assessment if requested by the neighbourhood to supplement the neighbourhood traffic plan. There are 10 tee -intersections along Pettit Avenue within the study area. Four tee - intersections along Pettit Avenue are controlled by a yield sign on the minor road approach. They are located on Crawford Street, Glenayr Avenue, Palis Crescent and Sherwood Road. A stop sign in its place is recommended as visibility triangle requirement for a yield controlled intersection is not met, thus warranting the stop condition. This is common in developed residential areas when vegetation, fences and dwellings are present within the visibility clear zone. Niagara Student Transportation Services Staff do not have any concerns with their bus drivers travelling over the speed cushions. They noted that since there is a school directly on Pettit Avenue, they will not have the ability to reroute buses if they receive complaints. Fire Service Staff has no objections to the speed control plan. The proposed speed cushions will allow their fire response vehicles to bypass the devices without being delayed. Staff is recommending the construction of six (6) speed cushions in the locations identified at the June 22, 2017 public meeting, along with a pedestrian crossover at the northern leg of the Pettit Avenue and Doreen Drive intersection. Page 327 of 458 TS -2017-40 November 28, 2017 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The construction of the speed cushions is estimated at $33,000 and will be included in the 2018 Capital Budget. The installation of the signs for the pedestrian crossover and stop signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2017 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to install the signs is approximately $2,000.

TECHNICAL DATA Pettit Avenue carries approximately 2,300 cars daily near Dorchester Road and 750 cars daily south of Sheldon Street. These traffic volumes are within the expectations of a collector road. There is not a collision problem on Pettit Avenue. There has been one (1) documented motor vehicle collision in the previous three years. Cherrywood Acres School has a large boundary area for children walking to school. Pettit Avenue is also used by children walking to/from John Marshall School and Notre Dame School, both north of Thorold Stone Road. There are crossing guards at three locations to assist children across Thorold Stone Road. Speed studies were carried out, both in the morning and afternoon. The data identified that the operating speed is 55 km/h both to the north and south of Sheldon Street. The City considers a speeding problem when the operating speed exceeds the speed limit where there is at least one pedestrian generator abutting the road. A neighbourhood park abuts Pettit Avenue north of Sheldon Street and an elementary school is located south of Sheldon Street. Given the study results and the existing sensitive land uses on Pettit Avenue, the technical component for speed control devices is fulfilled. ^,V '^W /"1• (D W W 0 h v, 00 PUBLIC CONSULTATION Given that a speeding problem was identified, Staff solicited the input oft he neighbourhood on their preference for speed control devices.

Drivers are not required to stop atthe pedestrian crossover if there s not to cross There laet (2) other versolnsgof the netw crossovers that have flashing beacons, but these are typically installed on higher vol ume mads. Cost to install signs and markings is approximately $2,500. NEIGHBOURHOOD SPEED WATCH PROGRAM The Neighbourhood "Speed Watch" Program is an educational safety program designed to raise awareness of the speed drivers are traveling. A group of two or more concerned residents volunteers a few hours of their time to operate the equipment and identify speeding vehicles in the neighbourhood. The Neighbourhood "Speed Watch" Program is intended to give motorists a "friendly reminder" of the speed in residential areas. June 22, 2017 Speed Watch GUIDING PRINCIPLES Speed control devices are located based on the following: • Devices are most effective if they are evenly spaced so that motorists are not able to speed between them • Cannot be placed in front of driveways since signs are posted on both sides of the road next to the device. This way their location is known when the roads are snow covered. • Devices are avoid on road curves. • Avoid placing them where utilities, manholes, valves, catch basins, etc. are located; and ensure positive drainage is maintained • Devices are unnecessary near the existing all -way stop at Sheldon Street, since drivers are required to stop at this intersections by law. 3 Sy W W W 0 h CTI 00 June 22, 2017 CONCEPT PLAN, SOUTHERN SECTION OF STUDY AREA Three (3) speed cushions are proposed as follows: 1.

Diodati & Members of Council From: Bill Matson, Acting City Clerk Date: November 28, 2017 Re: Petition for Ward System for Municipal Elections A petition was delivered to the Clerks office on October 25, 2017 by Mr. Raymond Durrani of Niagara Falls. The petition asks that Council reinstate the ward system of electing members to Council as opposed to the current "at -large" system. I would just like to point out that section 223(2) of the Municipal Act provides that a petition asking for the adoption of a ward system must have at least 500 signatures of electors. The presenter of the petition has been notified of the deficiency and he suggests that the 12 signatures are sufficient. Should such a petition, with the required number of signatures come forward, Council would have 90 days to pass such a by-law or not. If the Council decided not to proceed, any one of the electors on the petition would have the opportunity to make an application to the Ontario Municipal Board requesting that a ward system be put in place.

JOHNS MARSH DRAIN 2017 City of Niagara Falls To the Mayor and Council of the City of Niagara Falls Mayor and Council: London, Ontario November 1, 2017 We are pleased to present our report on the reconstruction of the St. Johns Marsh Municipal Drain serving parts of Lots 26 to 29, Second Cross Concession in the Town of Fort Erie, and Lots 8 to 13, First Cross Concession and Lots 1 to 3 in Concessions 4 and 5 in the City of Niagara Falls. The total watershed area contains approximately 480, hectares. AUTHORIZATION This report was prepared pursuant to Section 78 of the Drainage Act in accordance with instructions received from your Municipality with respect to a motion of Council in accordance with Section 8 of the Drainage Act. HISTORY This portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain was last reconstructed pursuant to a report submitted by C.A. Grassie, Eng., dated July 29, 1948 and consisted of a cleanout of the entire drain from the Black Creek Marsh Drain up to its head in Lot 11, First Cross Concession. Previous to this report, a report was issued by G. Ross, dated September 17, 1921. This report provided for repair and improvement of the entire St. Johns Marsh Drain. More recently the downstream portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain, located in the Town of Fort Erie, had a report filed submitted by N. Morris, P.Eng., dated April 8, 2016. The work calls for 1,884 meters of ditch cleanout, installation of a Newbury Weir, and installation of erosion protection. The work will commence at the Black Creek Marsh Drain and terminated at Netherby Road. EXISTING DRAINAGE CONDITIONS A site meeting was held November 3, 2015 with respect to the project and through later discussions, the following was reported: • that the Drainage Superintendent for the City of Niagara Falls indicated that they needed an updated report to perform maintenance on their portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain • that Dave Maiden, the Drainage Superintendent for the Town of Fort Erie, indicated that an updated report was issued for their portion downstream of Netherby Road, with construction anticipated to take place during the summer of 2018 Page 353 of 458 2 EXISTING DRAINAGE CONDITIONS (cont'd) • the landowner, D. & C. White (Roll No. 4-219) indicated that their lands were subject to frequent flooding with flows from Willow Road and from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (N.P.C.A.) lands in the north portion of their property • the landowner, D. & C. White (Roll No. 4-219) also indicated that the drainage in their property has degraded steadily over the years and is no longer the productive farm land as it once was • the landowner, D. Belme (Roll No.55-307-01 and Roll No. 4-216), indicated that the drain was located on both of his properties. He currently has no issues with the drainage in his lands and would prefer that no work be done • a representative from the N. P.C.A., which owns Roll No. 4-167, indicated that work would not be required in their lands as their property was part of the Willoughby Marsh • the N.P.C.A. also indicated that they preferred the water level in their property to remain elevated and requested a Newbury Weir be installed on the edge of their lands at station 0+950. • the landowner, N. Sauer (Roll No. 4-101), indicated that his lands drain south to Baker Road and would prefer that the drain be extended to Baker Road • LCA Environmental was hired to investigate the project from an environmental perspective and noted that there were no concerns as the proposed work is outside of the identified wetland area Preliminary design, cost estimates and assessments were prepared and an informal public meeting was held July 25, 2017 to review the findings and preliminary proposals. Further input and requests were provided by the affected owners at that time and at later dates. Based on the proposed design it was decided to proceed with an updated Section 78 report for improvements as well as an updated schedule of assessment and maintenance schedule. DESIGN CRITERIA AND CONSIDERATIONS All of the proposed work has been generally designed and shall be constructed in accordance with the DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES FOR WORK UNDER THE DRAINAGE ACT. RECOMMENDATIONS We are therefore recommending the following: • that the existing open channel from Netherby Road, north up to the N.P.C.A. lands, be cleaned out for a total length of 950 meters to provide an improved outlet for drainage of adjacent and upstream lands • that the ditch banks be reconstructed to 2:1 slopes where necessary • that the excavated material be levelled adjacent to the drain • that the working space be cleaned and grubbed of trees, brush and scrub, where necessary, for machine access to complete work on the ditch and to level material Page 354 of 458 RECOMMENDATIONS (cont'd) • that a Newbury Weir be installed at the upper end of the drain (Sta 0+950) in the N.P.C.A. property (Roll No. 4-167) to maintain water levels in their wetland • that the existing 1948 St. Johns Marsh Drain in the N.P.C.A. lands (Roll No. 4-167) upstream of Sta. 0+950 be officially abandoned from municipal status pursuant to Section 19 of the Drainage Act ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES There are significant wetlands and sensitive areas within the affected watershed area of the drain. The proposed construction of the St. Johns Marsh Drain includes a Newbury Weir to maintain water levels. We are also recommending that the following erosion and sediment control measures be included as part of our reconstruction proposal to help mitigate any potential adverse impacts of the proposed drainage works on water quality and fishery habitat: • timing of construction is to be only at times of low or no flow • a temporary flow check of silt fencing is to be installed for the duration of the construction at the bottom end of the ditch cleanout • a cleanout of the ditch bottom only has been specified so that the existing bank vegetation is not disturbed. However, where the existing banks are unstable, or may become unstable, they are to be resloped and seeded as noted on the plans • a 3 meter wide buffer strip of existing vegetation between the top of the bank and any cultivated lands on the west side is to be incorporated as part of the drain • all work is to be completed from the north and west sides of the ditch where possible. Any natural vegetation, brush, trees, etc. that exist on the unaffected sides of the ditch, especially the south side, should be retained to provide shade and cover It is to be noted that both the existing and newly vegetated banks as well as the existing natural and newly created buffer strips along each side of the ditch are permanent parts of the St. Johns Marsh Municipal Drain and shall not be disturbed or destroyed. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED WORK The proposed work consists of approximately 950 lineal meters of open ditch cleanout including a Newbury Weir structure Page 355 of 458 4 SCHEDULES Four schedules are attached hereto and form part of this report, being Schedule 'A' - Allowances, Schedule 'B' - Cost Estimate, Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction, and Schedule 'D'- Assessment for Maintenance. Schedule 'A' -Allowances. In accordance with Sections 29 and 30 of the Drainage Act, allowances are provided for right-of-way and damages to lands and crops along the route of the drain as defined below. Schedule 'B'- Cost Estimate. This schedule provides for a detailed cost estimate of the proposed work which is in the amount of $ 76,600.00 This estimate includes engineering and administrative costs associated with this project. The estimated cost in the Town of Fort Erie is $34,200.00 and the estimated cost in the City of Niagara Falls is $42,400.00. Schedule 'C'- Assessment for Construction. This schedule outlines the distribution of the total estimated cost of construction over the roads and lands which are involved. Schedule 'D'- Assessment for Maintenance. In accordance with Section 38 of the Drainage Act, this schedule outlines the distribution of future repair and/or maintenance costs for portions of, or the entire drainage works. Drawing No. 1, Job No. 213172 and specifications form part of this report. They show and describe in detail the location and extent of the work to be done and the lands which are affected. ALLOWANCES DAMAGES: Section 30 of the Drainage Act provides for the compensation to landowners along the drain for damages to lands and crops caused by the construction of the drain. The amount granted is based on $2,200.00/ha. for open ditch work with excavated material levelled adjacent to drain. This base rate is multiplied by the hectares derived from the working widths shown on the plans and the applicable lengths. RIGHT-OF-WAY Section 29 of the Drainage Act provides for an allowance to the owners whose land must be used for the construction, repair, or future maintenance of a drainage works. For open ditches, the allowance provides for the loss of land due to the construction provided for in the report. The amounts granted are based on the value of the land, and the rate used was $18,532.00/ha. When any buffer strip is incorporated and/or created, the allowance granted is for any land beyond a 1.8 meter width deemed to have always been part of the drain. For existing open ditches, the right-of- way to provide for the right to enter and restrictions imposed on those lands, is deemed to have already been granted. Page 356 of 458 ASSESSMENT DEFINITIONS In accordance with the Drainage Act, lands that make use of a drainage works are liable for assessment for part of the cost of constructing and maintaining the system. These liabilities are known as benefit, outlet liability and special benefit as set out under Sections 22, 23, 24 and 26 of the Act. BENEFIT as defined in the Drainage Act means the advantages to any lands, roads, buildings or other structures from the construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of a drainage works such as will result in a higher market value or increased crop production or improved appearance or better control of surface or sub -surface water, or any other advantages relating to the betterment of lands, roads, buildings or other structures. OUTLET liability is assessed to lands or roads that may make use of a drainage works as an outlet either directly or indirectly through the medium of any other drainage works or of a swale, ravine, creek or watercourse. In addition, a Public Utility or Road Authority shall be assessed for and pay all the increased cost to a drainage works due to the construction and operation of the Public Utility or Road Authority. This may be shown as either benefit or special assessment. ASSESSMENT A modified "Todgham Method" was used to calculate the assessments shown on Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction. This entailed breaking down the costs of the drain into sections along its route. Special Assessments and Special Benefits were then extracted from each section. The remainder is then separated into Benefit and Outlet costs. The Benefit cost is distributed to those properties receiving benefit as defined under "Assessment Definitions", with such properties usually being located along or close to the route of the drain. The Outlet Costs are distributed to all properties within the watershed area of that section on an adjusted basis. The areas are adjusted for location along that section, and relative run-off rates. Due to their different relative run-off rates, forested lands have been assessed for outlet at lower rates than cleared lands. Also, roads and residential properties have been assessed for outlet at higher rates than cleared farm lands. The actual cost of the work involving this report is to be assessed on a pro -rata basis against the lands and roads liable for assessment for benefit and outlet as shown in detail on Schedule 'C' - Assessment for Construction. If any additional work is required to the drainage works due to the existence of buried utilities such as gas pipe lines, communications cables, etc, or if any of the utilities require relocation or repair, then, the extra costs incurred shall be borne by the utility involved in accordance with the provisions of Section 26 of the Drainage Act. Page 357 of 458 GRANTS In accordance with the provisions of Section 85 of the Drainage Act, a grant may be available for assessments against privately owned parcels of land which are used for agricultural purposes and eligible for the Farm Property Class Tax rate. Section 88 of the Drainage Act directs the Municipality to make application for this grant upon certification of completion of this drain. The Municipality will then deduct the grant from the assessments prior to collecting the final assessments. MAINTENANCE Upon completion of construction, all owners are hereby made aware of Sections 80 and 82 of the Drainage Act which forbid the obstruction of or damage or injury to a municipal drain. After completion, the portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain located within the City of Niagara Falls shall be maintained by the City of Niagara Falls and the portion of the St. Johns Marsh Drain located within the Town of Fort Erie shall be maintained by the Town of Fort Erie at the expense of all upstream lands and roads assessed in Schedule 'D' - Assessment for Maintenance and in the same relative proportions until such time as the assessment is changed under the Drainage Act.

Where specimens fail komeet the minimum test requirements, the manufacturer will be responsible for the costs of the unsuccessful tests. Alternately, the Engineer materials on the basis of visual inspections and the receipt in writing from the Manufacturer of the results of daily production testing carried out by the Manufacturer for the types and sizes of the material being supplied. �=1111,11:� Prior tostringing the tile, the Contractor shall contact the Superintendent cvthe Engineer inorder boestablish the course ofthe drain. Where an existing drain is to be removed and replaced in the same trench by the new drain orwhere the new drain is to be installed parallel to an existing drain, the Contractor shall excavate test holes to locate the existing drain (including repairing drainage tile) at intervals along the course of the drain as directed by the Engineer and/or the Superintendent. The costs for this work shall beincluded inthe tender price. SPR/ET ASSOCIATES Page 390 of 458 Page 14 Revised January, 2009 Where istoberemoved and replaced in the same trench bythe new drain, all existing tiles shall be destroyed andall broken tile shallbodisposed The drain shall run in as straight a line as possible throughout its length, except that at intersections of other water courses or at sharp corners, it shall run on a curve of at least a 15 meter radius. The new tile drain shall be constructed at an offset from and generally parallel with any ditch or defined watercourse in order that fresh backfill in the trench will not be eroded by the flow of surface water. The Contractor shall exercise care not to disturb any existing tile drain or drains which parallel the course of the new drain, particularly where the new and the existing tile act together to provide the necessary capacity. C,4 CLEARING AND GRUBBING Prior to commencement of drain construction, all trees, scrub, fallen timber and debris shall be cleared and grubbed from the working area, Unless otherwise specified, the minimum width to be cleared and grubbed shall be 20 meters in all hardwood areas and 50 meters in all softwood areas (willow, poplar, eto.), the width being centred onthe line ofthe drain. , All trees orlimbs 15Umm(O^)orlarger, that|\ioneceosory\oemovo.xha||banonsideredos|ugsondohaU be cut and trimmed, and left in the working width separte from the brush, for use or disposal by the owner. Trees or limbs less than 150mm in diameter shall be cut in lengths not greater than 5 meters and placed in separate piles with stumps spaced not less than 75 meters apart in the working width, for the use or disposal of the owner. in all cases, these piles shall be placed clear of excavated materials, and not be piled against standing trees. Nowindrowing will bo permitted. The clearing and grubbing and construction ofthe drain are hobucarried out intwo separate operations and not simultaneously atthe same location. C.5 PROFILE The profile drawing shows the depth of cuts from the ground beside the stake to the final invert of the drain in meters and decimals o1ameter. These cuts are established for the convenience cf the Cunhado�however, bench marks will govern the final elevation ofthe drain. Bench marks have been established along the course ofthe drain and their locations ande|evaUonsare noted onthe profile drawing. C.6 GRADE The Contractor shall provide and maintain in good working condition, anapproved system nfestablishing a grade sight line kzensure the completed works conform Uzthe profile drawing. |norder Loconfirm the condition of his system and to eliminate the possibility of minor errors on the drawings, he shall ensure his grade sight line has been confirmed tobocorrect between aminimum oftwo control points (bench marks) and shall spot check the actual cuts and compare with the plan cuts prior to commencement of tile installation. Heshall continue this procedure from control point to control point asconstruction cfthe drain progresses. When installing a drain towards a fixed point such as a bore pipe, the Contractor shall uncover the pipe and confirm the elevation, using the sight line, a sufficient distance away from the pipe in orderto allow for any necessary minor grade to be made in order to conform to the as built elevation of the bore pipe. All tile improperly installed due to the Contractor not following these procedures shall be removed and replaced entirely at the Contractor's cost. When following the procedures and o significant variation is found, the Contractor shall immediately cease operations and advise the Engineer. SPR/ErmsSooIATEe Page 391 of 458 Page 15 Revised January, 2009 C.7 EXCAVATION 1 Trench: Unless otherwise specified, all trenching shall be done with a recognized farm tiling machine approved by the Engineer or Superintendent.

C.10 BACKIFILLING As the laying of the tile progresses, blinding up to the springline including compaction by tamping (by hand) is to be made on both sides of the tile. No tile shall be backfilled until inspected by the Engineer or Drainage Superintendent unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The remainder of the trench shall be backfilled with special care being taken in backfilling up to a height approximately 150mm above the top of the tile to ensure that no tile breakage occurs. During the backfilling operation no equipment shall be operated in away that would transfer loads onto the tile trench. Surplusmaterial is to be mounded over the tile trench so that when settlement takes place the natural surface of the ground will be restored. Upon completion, a minimum cover of 600mm is required over all tile. Where stones larger than 150mm are present in the backfill material, they shall be separated from the material and disposed of by the Where odrain crosses olawn area, the backfilling shall be carried out asabove except that, unless otherwise specified, the backfill material shall be mechanically compacted to eliminate settlement. C.11 QNSTABLESOIL The Contractor shall immediately contact the Engineer or Superintendent if quicksand is encountered, such that installation with a tiling machine is not possible.

JAMES M. DIODATI, MAYOR Page 418 of 458 OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 126 PART 1 — PREAMBLE (i) Purpose of the Amendment The purpose of the amendment is to redesignate the lands from Industrial to Residential and apply a Special Policy Area designation to permit the development of block townhouse dwellings. (ii) Location of the Amendment The amendment applies to lands shown on Map 1. (iii) Details of the Amendment Map Change Schedule "A" to the Official Plan — Land Use has been amended to show the above noted land use change and Special Policy Area designation. Text Change PART 2, SECTION 13 — SPECIAL POLICY AREAS is amended by the addition of Subsection 13.71. (iv) Basis of the Amendment The applicants (Sleek Developments Inc. and APR Investments Ltd.) propose to develop the land with 96 block townhouse dwelling units. The lands are designated Industrial, in part, and Residential, in part, in the Official Plan. In 2007, the City had conducted a Municipal Comprehensive Review, per the Provincial Policy Statement, which indicated there the amount of industrial land in the City was surplus to meeting existing and future needs, while there was a shortage of land available for low to medium density residential in the long term. The subject redesignation to Residential will assist in addressing this deficit. Lands designated Industrial lie to the west and north of the property and contain industrial uses. An active railway also lies to the west. To ensure compatibility with the industrial uses and the railway, a number of mitigation measures will be employed, including increased setbacks from the west and north lot lines and construction of a berm and noise wall. Warning clauses are to be inserted into development agreements to ensure future residents are alerted to potential impacts from surrounding uses. Page 419 of 458 The applicants owned the abutting property known as 4536 Portage Road, which was zoned General Industrial (GI). The GI zone permits uses that may conflict with abutting residential uses. To assist in mitigating impacts, the applicants requested this abutting property be rezoned site specific Light Industrial, with a range of uses that would not create compatibility issues with abutting residences. The development represents and appropriate transition, in terms of density and massing, from the industrial lands to the north to the low density residential uses to the south. In addition, there is sufficient capacity on Portage Road to accommodate traffic from this development. The application to amend the Official Plan and related zoning by-law was considered in a Council Public Meeting on December 13, 2016 and deferred by Council to allow further discussion with surrounding industrial operators and residents. The applicants subsequently appealed Council's failure to make a decision pursuant to Sections 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act. An Ontario Municipal Board Hearing was held on May 25, 2017. The Board was satisfied that with the provision of mitigation measures the development is compatible with adjacent industrial uses, converting the land to Residential does not affect the City's supply of employment lands, adequate capacity exists on the abutting Portage Road to serve the proposed development and the development represents an efficient use of land under Provincial policies and is of a mass and density appropriate to the surrounding neighbourhood. The Board approved the Official Plan amendment as per Part 2 of this document. To ensure compatibility between the residential uses and adjacent industries and the railway, the amendment requires appropriate mitigation measures to be incorporated into the implementing zoning by-law, plan of subdivision or plan of condominium. Page 420 of 458 PART 2 - BODY OF THE AMENDMENT All of this part of the document entitled PART 2 - BODY OF THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the explanatory text and attached map, designated Map 1, and attached hereto, constitute Amendment No. 126 to the Official Plan of the City of Niagara Falls. DETAILS OF THE AMENDMENT The Official Plan of the City of Niagara Falls is hereby amended as follows: MAP CHANGE Schedule "A" to the Official Plan - Future Land Use, is hereby amended by redesignating the lands identified on Map 1 attached hereto, and forming part of the amendment, from Residential and Industrial to Residential and identified as Special Policy Area "71 ".

Lands may be developed for residential purposes in accordance with Part 2, Subsection 1.15.5(i). 13.71.1 Detailed air quality, acoustical and vibration studies have been prepared in order to address long term land use compatibility with existing adjacent industries as well as CN Rail operations abutting the subject lands. Appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented through the site specific zoning by-law, plan of subdivision and/or plan of condominium. 13.71.2 In order to provide for long term land use compatibility for residential land uses on the subject lands with existing adjacent industries as well as CN Rail operations, appropriate mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the implementing zoning by-law, plan of subdivision and/or plan of condominium.
