Barry Munro <dbmunro@hotmail.ca> Sent:Tuesday, February 5, 2019 7:30 AM To:Bill Matson Subject:Re: Agenda Dianne Munro, 2703 Detenbeck Rd., Niagara Falls, Ont l2G 0 K7 905-295-9383 On behalf of a new Citizens group called Citizens for Responsible Development, I would request to be put on the agenda of the next Council meeting. Citizens for Responsible Development (CRD) is requesting that Council inform us of potential development. We see our role as a non adversarial consulting group, that will disseminate information from Council and to Council on issues the community may have, concerning developments. As Council is aware, recent research into healthy and strong cities indicates that using Citizen advisory groups, increases public approval and acceptance and decreases public unrest and apprehension. We are currently at the steering committee stage, with a group of approximately 15 well informed citizens developing our protocols and seeking incorporation. Our request to speak to Council is to keep them informed and to request that Council work with Citizens Committees to promote responsible development for the benefit of our Community as a whole.

Every other week garbage collection 2. Increase from one bag to two bag limit per every other week (EOW) collection 3. Recycling and organic bin collection weekly 4. Establishment of four (4) large item per residential unit, per collection 5. Appliance pick-up and scrap metal pick-up to be discontinued Multi-Residential (greater than 6 units): 1. The City’s enhanced service and extra payment for front-end garbage collection at multi- residential properties (currently 155 containers) 2. The City’s enhanced service and extra payment for front-end garbage collection at multi- residential condominium properties (currently 54 containers) Industrial/Commercial/Industrial-Mixed Uses Outside Designated Business Areas: 1. Every other week garbage collection 2. Decrease number of bags per week from six (6) to four (4), or eight (8) containers bi-weekly 3. Recycling and organic bin collection weekly Industrial/Commercial/Industrial-Mixed Uses Inside Designated Business Areas: 1. Weekly garbage collection 2. Decrease number of bags per week from seven (7) to four (4) per week Page 290 of 613 2 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 Other City Services: 1. The City’s enhanced service and extra payment for Public Space recycling program 2. The City’s litter receptacles in Designated Business Areas (DBA) and extra payment for seven (7) day a week collection from mid-May to mid-October 3. Mandatory use of clear bags As such the following are staff recommendations related to the above items: 1. Staff encourage the continuation of weekly recyclables and organic green bins in order to increase the amount of material diverted from local landfills. 2. Staff supports the continued weekly collection of garbage inside the Designated Business Areas. 3. Staff supports the Region obtaining pricing on every other week collection and status quo (weekly) collection, however, costing of these items will not be known until after the tender process is completed. As such, staff would recommend that the Region share these costs with the City prior to a decision being made. 4. Staff supports the inclusion of the establishment of a four (4) large item pick-up as part of base service. 5. Staff would also recommend continuation of the City’s enhanced service and payment for public space recycling and the enhanced service for litter receptacles in DBA f rom mid-May to mid-October. 6. Staff would also recommend that the City ask the Region to provide costing through the tender process regarding enhanced service for multi-residential (greater than 6 units) and for multi-residential condo units prior to Council making a final determination on this matter. BACKGROUND At the Council meeting held on January 15, 2019 staff from the Regional Municipality of Niagara presented information to Council regarding the consultation process that has been undertaken to assist the Region with preparing the Request for Proposal (RFP) regarding the 2021 Waste Collection contract. The following is a brief synopsis of the public consultation results, received from Niagara Falls residents. 74% believe diversion through the Region’s recycling program is important 44% currently put out one (1) bag of garbage per week 61% do not use additional bags 65% believe we need to continue weekly garbage pick-up 36% indicated they would be able to manage with every other week pick-up 45% probably/would support mandatory clear garbage bags 79% believe weekly recycling should continue Page 291 of 613 3 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 The Region has asked for feedback from the local area municipalities by February 20, 2019. This report and attachments included on this agenda are intended to give Council background information on the process in order to make comments to the Region by the deadline date. The Region of Niagara oversees all aspects of Waste Management for the Local Area Municipalities (LAM). This includes, but is not limited to, curbside collection of waste, recycling and organics collection as well as the disposal of these materials (Landfill sites, household hazard waste, recycling facility and organic processing locations). The annual cost for the Region’s Waste Management collection is charged back to the LAM’s based on the municipality’s percentage of the total Regional households. For Niagara Falls, the 2018 waste management levy totalled $6,750,000. This was broken down into approximately $6,084,000 in base service and $665,795 in enhanced service. The Region is preparing for a new collection contract that will be awarded in 2020 and will start in 2021. Prior to the approval of the new contract and its proposed changes, the Region is consulting with Niagara residents, businesses, the local municipalities and other stakeholders. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE: The proposed options being considered by Niagara Region for the 2021 contract are categorized into base collection options and enhanced collections options. Terminology used throughout to describe the different property sectors are as follows: LDR: Low Density Residential property (i.e. 1 to 6 residential units) MR: Multi Residential property (greater than 6 residential units) IC&I: Industrial, Commercial and Institutional property MU: Mixed Use property (i.e. IC&I with a residential component) Inside DBAs: Property is located within the Designated Business Areas (includes the Queen Street, Lundy’s Lane, Victoria/Clifton, Main/Ferry and Fallsview BIA’s and Chippawa business area - see appendix I maps) Outside DBAs: Property is located outside of the Designate Business Areas Base Collection Options 1. Every-other-week (EOW) garbage collection for all properties located outside DBAs. Properties located inside DBA’s will continue with weekly service. Weekly collection of recycling and organics to continue for all properties both inside and outside of DBA’s. Garbage container limit would double for those with EOW collection. Page 292 of 613 4 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 Many Ontario municipalities (i.e.: Barrie, Durham, Halton, Markham, Ottawa, Toronto, Vaughn, Peel and Waterloo) already provide EOW garbage collection. The benefits of EOW garbage collection include: Increased participation/capture rates in diversion programs (i.e.: recycling and organics) to extend lifespan of Niagara Region’s landfill site. Diversion rates increased between 6% and 16% in those municipalities that implemented EOW garbage collection. Potential cost avoidance. Based on the Region of Waterloo’s implementation of EOW garbage collection in 2017, their annual contract savings were approximately $1.5 million. 2. Establishment of a four (4) item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at LDR properties. Currently, there is no limit on the number of large items that can be set out per residential unit, per collection, although the service is not intended for move outs. The proposed four-item limit will meet the set-out needs, as most residents set out an average of less than two (2) items per collection, and allow the contractor to effectively design collection routes. 3. Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal collection at LDR properties. These items can be recycled, at no cost, at Niagara Region’s Drop-off Depots, or at scrap metal dealers. Only 6% of Niagara’s LDR properties are currently using the curbside collection of appliances and scrap metal. Many of these items are scavenged before the Region’s collection contractor is able to collect them. 4. Change weekly garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties located inside DBAs from seven (7) containers to four (4) containers per property. This would standardize the base collection limits across similar sectors as well as increase participation in the Region’s diversion programs. The average number of garbage containers placed out per week at IC&I and MU properties inside DBAs across the region is two (2). The Region’s historic audits for the IC&I and MU (See Appendix II) indicates the average number of garbage bags/containers set out is 5.2 (IC&I) and 2.9 (MU) per pick-up day. Page 293 of 613 5 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 The same audit for all five Niagara Falls DBA’s (See Appendix II, Page 2) indicates the average number of garbage bags/containers set out is 2.7 (IC&I) and 1.8 (MU) per pick-up day. The number of recycling containers set out is 2.0 (IC&I), or 61% of properties participating, and 1.3 (MU), or 46% of properties participating. The average number of organics containers set out is 1.3 (IC&I), or 11% participating, and 1.0 (MU), or 11% participating. 5. Change weekly garbage container limits for Mixed Use properties located outside Designated Business Areas from six (6) to four (4) containers under weekly collection, or to eight (8) containers under Every-Other-W eek garbage collection. This would standardize the base collection limits across similar sectors, as well as increase participation in the Region’s diversion programs. The average number of garbage containers placed out per week at MU properties outside DBAs across the City is 2.1. The average IC&I recycling participation rate is 50% and organics participation rate is 18% Enhanced Collection Options 6. The City currently provides enhanced service to one hundred and fifty-four (155) front end bin collection of the one hundred and ten (110) Multi-residential (MR) Apartment Buildings (garbage disposal dumpsters) located city-wide. The City also provides front end bin collection of fifty-four (54) containers at the thirty-six (36) Condominium complexes city-wide. 7. Provision of a new enhanced service for large item collection to those households in Multi Residential buildings and Mixed Use properties that receive the Region’s base curbside garbage collection service. These properties must be participating in the Region’s diversion programs (i.e.: recycling and organics), in order to qualify to receive this service. This service would be provided in a manner that is parallel to the approved service for the Low Density Residential sector. Applies to the following properties: Page 294 of 613 6 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 Property Type No. of Buildings/Properties Curbside MU with one or more residential units 89 (152 Units) Curbside MR with 7+ residential units 140 (4,876 res. Units) Total 229 8. Any other additional enhanced collection options, such as additional garbage container limits, increased garbage or recycling collection frequency, street litter, front-end garbage, etc. Other additional enhanced collection options requested by Niagara Falls City Council will come at an increased cost to the Municipality over-and-above the base service collection cost. Upon request, Regional staff are willing to include other options in the upcoming tender, in order to obtain pricing. These items will come back to Niagara Falls Council for approval. The explanation and reason for the proposed changes are fully explained in Attachment III to this Report (FAQ for Proposed Collection Service Options for Niagara Falls Designated Business Areas). Based on discussion with the Region, changes recommended are based on audits of actual numbers of large items/appliances or bags/containers actually put out and should have little to no impact to users, but will provide a reduction in the quantities to be tendered in the 2021 contract. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: Overall, if accepted by Regional Council, the proposed base service changes will help avoid future cost increases in Waste Management costs. Other municipalities that implemented Every-Other-Week garbage collection realized annual contract savings between $200,000 and $12 million, depending on the size of their contract and other contract changes that were implemented. For example, Region of Waterloo’s annual contract savings by switching over to Every-Other-Week garbage collection was $1.5 million. In 2018 the total cost to the City for base service was $6,084,000. The 2018 Enhanced Collection Services to the City were $665,795. Additional costs would be incurred for the new enhanced service for bulky goods collection to those households in Multi Residential buildings with seven (7) or more residential units and Mixed Use properties with one (1) or more residential unit, that receive the Region’s curbside base garbage collection. Page 295 of 613 7 MW-2019-06 February 12, 2019 Once the Regional tender has been completed, staff would recommend that these be shared with the City. This will allow Council to determine which enhanced service it wishes to continue or eliminate. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Designated Business Areas - Audit Summary 2. Designated Business Areas – Maps 3.

What are the key proposed collection service options that will affect Niagara Falls Designated Business Areas (DBAs): Change the weekly garbage container (bag/can) limits for Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed-Use (MU) properties located inside DBAs from seven (7) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service. Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag. The clear bag program will be for all sectors (both inside and outside DBAs), as a base service. 2. Why is Niagara Region considering these proposed collection service options inside the DBAs? The proposed options for Niagara Region’s next collection contract are being considered as a way to: – Standardize garbage container limits across all IC&I and MU properties, which use the Region’s base curbside collection service; – Increase participation in Region’s diversion programs; – Align with results of curbside audits and other collection monitoring/measurements; and – Improve program communication and services provided to residents and businesses. Stakeholder Consultation: 1. How will input from organizations representing businesses and property owners affect whether the Region adopts the proposed collection options? This input will be used to help determine whether there is sufficient support for the proposed collection options, and whether to proceed with any further consultation with those businesses using the Region’s curbside garbage collection service. Page 311 of 613 FAQ for Proposed Collection Services for Niagara Falls DBAs Page 2 2. What other consultation activities are being conducted related to the proposed collection service options? Niagara Region will also be obtaining input from IC&I and MU property owners on these proposed collection options in late October and November 2018: - An URL address for an on-line survey will be provided through social media, targeted letters, and other communication methods. - Public Open Houses and Community Events will be held in all 12 Local Area Municipalities (LAMs). 3. When would the proposed collection service options take effect? No decisions will be made until after the stakeholder consultation is complete and staff report back to Regional Council in early 2019. If the proposed collection service options are approved by Regional Council, they would take effect with the commencement of the Region’s next collection contract in March 2021. Proposed Base Service Garbage Container Limit Changes: 1. What is the difference between base and enhanced collection service? Niagara Region provides base collection services (i.e. weekly garbage, recycling, organics, etc.) to all property types, including IC&I and MU properties inside and outside DBAs, in all 12 LAMs. The current base garbage container collection limit for IC&I and MU properties located inside and outside DBAs are, as follows: Property Type and Location Max. Garbage Containers per Week IC&I properties inside DBAs 7 MU properties inside DBAs 7 IC&I properties outside DBAs 4 MU properties outside DBAs 6 Niagara Region also provides enhanced collection services, at the request of each local area municipality. Each local area municipality directly pays for the cost associated with providing the enhanced collection services. Enhanced collection services include additional garbage container limits, increased garbage or recycling collection frequency, front-end garbage and street litter pick-up. Page 312 of 613 FAQ for Proposed Collection Services for Niagara Falls DBAs Page 3 2. Which collection services are currently provided to IC&I and MU properties inside the Niagara Falls DBAs? Collection Service Weekly Collection Frequency Collection Days & Times Curbside Waste One day-per-week • Non-food & Lodging Properties: - max. of 7 containers per property, all year long (base) • Food & Lodging Properties (Mainline Area): - max. of 15 containers per property, between Victoria Day and Thanksgiving Day (enhanced) - max. of 7 containers, remainder of year (base) Clifton Hill & Victoria Centre – Fri (5:00 am) Lundy’s Lane - Mon, Tues, Wed or Fri (5:00 am) Queen Street – Fri (7:00 am) Main/Ferry & Fallsview – Fri (9:30 am) Chippawa – Mon (11:00 am) Curbside Recycling One day-per-week (base) Same as curbside waste Curbside Organics One day-per-week (base) Same as curbside waste Public Spaces Recycling Bins Mainline Area – 7 days-per-week Outside Mainline Area – 1 day-per-week Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, or Sun (7:00 am) Street Litter Bins Mainline Area – 7 days-per-week Outside Mainline Area – 1 day-per-week Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, or Sun (7:00 am) 3. Why is the Region proposing the new base garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties inside the DBAs, and MU properties outside the DBAs? The proposed four (4) garbage container limits for these properties would align with existing four (4) garbage container limit for IC&I properties outside DBAs. It would align with current average garbage containers set-out. – Based on the results from the 2015 and 2018 curbside audits inside the Niagara Falls DBAs, the average number of garbage containers set out each week, for base collection at IC&I and MU Non-food and Lodging Properties, aligns with the current average garbage container limit in all of the Niagara Falls DBAs.

Would businesses receiving enhanced collection services be affected by the proposed container limits? Businesses that receive enhanced collection services that include additional garbage container limits and/or increased garbage collection frequency would not be affected by the proposed new limits. 5. Are those businesses, which receive the enhanced collection service, fully utilizing the additional garbage container limit? Based on the results from the 2015 curbside audits inside the Niagara Falls DBAs, the average number of garbage containers set out each week, for enhanced collection at IC&I and MU Food & Lodging Properties, was below the allowable additional garbage container limit of 15 containers per set out, per week.

Who would be affected by the proposed new garbage container limit? All IC&I and MU properties located inside the DBAs, and MU properties located outside the DBAs, which use Niagara Region’s base curbside garbage collection service, would be affected. 7. What happens if a property owner does not/cannot comply with the proposed container limits? If a property owner sets out more garbage containers than the limit allows, the additional bags would be tagged and left behind by the collection contractor. Regional staff would follow-up with the property owner regarding the proper set out of material for collection to avoid re-occurrence of uncollected garbage. If a property owner is consistently unable to meet the garbage container limit and is not using the Region’s diversion programs, it would be recommended that the Region’s unlimited recycling and organics collection services be fully utilized to reduce the amount of waste being placed in garbage con tainers. 8. What happens if property owners dispose of their waste in non-designated areas (i.e. vacant lots, public property, ditches, etc.) because it was rejected or they choose not to comply with the rules? This is considered illegal dumping and it is a serious offence with penalties. The Region’s by-law will be enforced in any cases of illegal dumping. Experience in other municipalities has shown that property owners readily adapt to collection changes and if there is an increase in illegal dumping after the change in collection is implemented, it is temporary and short-lived. Mandatory Clear Bags for Garbage: 1. Why is the Region proposing the mandatory use of clear bags for garbage? Increased Waste Diversion: Implementing clear garbage bags resulted in a 6% increase in Markham’s 2014 diversion rate, for a total diversion rate of 81%. There is motivation to recycle, due to social pressure. Enforcement/Safety: Clear bags increase the awareness of what is placed in the garbage, due to the visibility of the bag contents. Eliminates or minimizes the option of concealing hazardous or non-acceptable materials (e.g. recyclables and organics) in the garbage Facilitates education and enforcement of Niagara’s Waste Management By- law, where necessary. 2. Who would be affected by the use of clear garbage bags? Page 317 of 613 FAQ for Proposed Collection Services for Niagara Falls DBAs Page 8 The clear bag program would be mandatory for all sectors (i.e. low-density residential, multi-residential, IC&I and MU), both inside and outside the DBAs. 3. What about privacy or security concerns? To conceal private or sensitive materials, the Region will be allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag. Confidential documents should be shredded and placed inside a clear plastic bag before being placed inside the Grey Box or Grey Cart. 4. Would garbage bags be left behind (not collected) if they are not in compliance with the clear bag program? Garbage would not be collected in the following situations: – If the garbage bag contains non-acceptable materials such as recyclables, organics, hazardous waste; or, – If a clear bag is not used (note: one opaque/coloured privacy bag (e.g. grocery bag size) will be allowed inside each clear bag for personal items). Regional staff will follow-up with the property owner regarding the proper set out of material for collection to avoid re-occurrence of uncollected garbage. 5. What are the key implications for an IC&I or MU property, other than having to use a clear bag for garbage set out at the curb? Properties may need to better sort recyclables and organics from their garbage stream. Property owners and staff will have to be aware of what is recyclable, or otherwise not acceptable in the garbage; training may be required. Suitable recycling and organics containers for curbside collection are available for purchase from the Region. Supporting promotion and education material would be provided by the Region (i.e. listing of acceptable materials for recycling and organics programs). 6. If a clear garbage bag program is approved, will property owners still be able to use their reusable garbage containers? Reusable garbage containers will be considered for dealing with pests and rodents. 7. Do clear garbage bags cost more than traditional opaque (black) plastic garbage bags? The cost of clear plastic bags is similar to that of opaque plastic bags. Price differences may occur, based on individual bag size, closure type, packaging size or brand name. Page 318 of 613 FAQ for Proposed Collection Services for Niagara Falls DBAs Page 9 Clear bags would be available for purchase at the same local retailers as traditional opaque bags. Page 319 of 613 Proposed Collection Options for Niagara Region’s Next Contract City of Niagara Falls Council Meeting January 15, 2019 Page 320 of 613 Background •Niagara Region's next waste collection contract (garbage, recycling and organics) set to begin by 2021 •Input received from various stakeholders on proposed collection options being considered for the next contract, through targeted and broad-based community consultation •Local Area Municipalities (LAMs) comments are requested on proposed base changes and confirmation of enhanced services by February 1, 2018 (letter with project report sent to LAM Clerks for inclusion on the Council agenda on May 4, 2018 and to Public Works Officials (PWOs) on June 6, 2018, along with presentations and engagement with PWOs at their June 11, Oct. 16 and Dec. 11, 2018 meetings) •Report submitted to Public Works Committee on January 8, 2019. •Report with recommendations on collection options will be submitted in March 2019 Page 321 of 613 Background •Proposed collection options for the Region’s next contract are being considered for the following reasons: o Increase participation in Region’s diversion programs o Potential cost avoidance o Results of curbside audits, which reflect actual service usage o Best practices of Niagara’s 13 municipal comparators o Improve program communication to residents and businesses o Standardize garbage container (bag/can) limits for all Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed-Use (MU) properties as a base service Page 322 of 613 Proposed Base Collection Service Options 1)Every-other-week (EOW) garbage collection for the residential sector and those IC&I and MU properties located outside Designated Business Areas (DBAs), as a base service: •Weekly collection of recycling and organics to continue •Garbage container limit for all properties would double and/or 2)Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag: •The clear bag program will be for all sectors (both inside and outside DBAs), as a base service •Public Works Committee requested amendment to include consideration of clear bags as an option Page 323 of 613 Key Drivers – EOW Garbage and Clear Bags •extend existing landfill site capacity; •contract cost avoidance (EOW garbage collection); •increase participation and capture rates in diversion programs: o Nearly 50% of low density residential garbage is organic waste and only 48% use the residential Green Bin program o IC&I and MU audits show diversion programs underutilized Page 324 of 613 Other Municipality Benefits of Implementing EOW Garbage and/or Clear Bags •Other municipalities, which implemented EOW garbage and/or clear bags, have realized the following benefits: 1)Increased Waste Diversion: •Range between 6% (Peel) and 16% (Durham), depending on whether they introduced other diversion programs (i.e. organics) at the same time as EOW garbage. •Markham’s diversion rate increased by 35% with the introduction of EOW garbage and weekly organics collection. It increased an additional 6%, as a result of implementing clear garbage bags. 2)Contract Savings: •Range between $200k (Barrie) and $12M (Peel) per year, depending on size of contract and other contract changes implemented (i.e. EOW, carts, etc.) Page 325 of 613 Proposed Base Collection Service Options 3)Establishment of a 4 item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at Low Density Residential (LDR) properties, as a base service. 4)Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal collection at LDR properties. Key drivers: Contract cost avoidance for services with limited usage. •93% of properties using the large item service set out 4 items or less and 92% of the total bookings were for 4 or less items •Appliances and scrap metal: -Tonnages have decreased by 94% since 2007 -Items can be recycled, at no cost, at the Region’s Drop-off Depots, or by scrap metal haulers/dealers -Only 5% of properties are using the service Page 326 of 613 Proposed Base Collection Service Options 5)Change weekly garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties located inside Designated Business Areas (DBAs) from 7 containers to 4 containers per property, as a base service. 6)Change weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from 6 containers to 4 containers per property, as a base service. Key Drivers: Standardize base garbage collection limits across similar sectors to improve service delivery and program communication, increase participation and capture rates in diversion programs, potentially avoid contract costs for a service level which is not needed. •Average number of garbage containers placed out per week: -IC&I and MU properties inside the DBA is 2 -MU properties outside the DBA is less than 2 Page 327 of 613 Niagara Falls DBAs-Base & Enhanced Collection Areas Clifton Hill Lundy’s Lane Page 328 of 613 Niagara Falls DBAs-Base & Enhanced Collection Areas Main Street Queen Street Page 329 of 613 Chippawa DBA - Base Collection Area Page 330 of 613 Niagara Falls Audit Results – IC&I Inside DBAs (Base) 2015/2018* Weekly Average Containers Set Out by IC&I Properties Inside the Niagara Falls DBAs (Base Collection Area) Notes: 1)In 2015/2018, there were a total of 167 IC&I properties audited inside Niagara Falls 5 DBA base collection areas.

That, based on the results of the stakeholder engagement process, the Request for Proposals for Niagara Region’s next garbage, recycling and organics collection RFP BE APPROVED to be issued with the following, subject to final comments from Local Area Municipalities: a) Pricing for the following garbage collection frequency options: i) Every-other-week (EOW) garbage collection for all residential properties and for those Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed -Use (MU) properties located outside Designated Business Areas (DBAs), as a base service (weekly recycling and organics to continue, and current garbage container (bag/can) limits would double for affected sectors, on an EOW basis), and ii) Status quo – weekly base garbage collection service. b) Establishment of a four (4) item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at Low-Density Residential (LDR) properties, as a base service. c) Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal curbside collection at LDR properties, as a base service. d) Change the weekly garbage container (bag/can) limits for Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed-Use (MU) properties located inside Designated Business Areas (DBAs) from seven (7) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service. e) Change the weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from six (6) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service. 2. That Report PW 3-2019 and Council’s resolutions, along with the Metroline stakeholder consultation report, when finalized, BE CIRCULATED to the Local Area Municipalities, for their review, and comments to be provided by February 1, 2019 or no later than February 20, 2019. Page 372 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ 3. That staff BE DIRECTED to provide a follow-up report on the position of the Local Area Municipalities on the base and enhanced services to be included in the next garbage, recycling and organics collection contract Request for Proposals. Key Facts Niagara Region’s next garbage, recycling and organics collection contract is set to begin by March 8, 2021. The preparation for the next collection contract provides an opportunity to complete a service delivery review to improve program effectiveness (i.e. increase diversion of waste from disposal) and efficiencies (i.e. mechanisms to reduce costs and changes to service to reflect usage). On April 12, 2018, Regional Council approved WMPSC-C 9-2018, which identified the proposed base collection services options to be included in the stakeholder consultation and engagement process. The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval of the proposed base collection services being recommended for inclusion in Niagara Region’s next collection RFP, based on the results of input received during the stakeholder consultation and engagement phase, subject to further input from Local Area Municipalities (LAMs). Niagara Region is consulting with LAMs on the proposed base collection service changes and to confirm which enhanced collection services they would like included in the next collection RFP. Financial Considerations It is estimated that without any changes to the existing collection service levels to be provided in Niagara Region’s next contract, the annual contract cost could be greater than $25 million in 2021. This is based on an average of the bids received for the current collection contract, plus annual escalation of 1.9%. Factors such as, but not limited to, the increase in minimum wage and driver shortages will more than likely impact pricing. The primary financial implications of implementing the proposed recommendations include: Final consideration of inclusion of EOW garbage collection in the next collection contract would occur after pricing is received for this option. As a point of reference: - In response to Niagara Region’s last collection contract RFP, excluding one submission anomaly, on average bidders priced a cost reduction of approximately $1.2 million annually for EOW garbage collection. - Region of Waterloo’s implementation of EOW garbage collection in their 2017 contract resulted in an annual contract savings of approximately $1.5 million. Page 373 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ Elimination of Niagara Region’s annual contract cost to provide appliance and scrap metal curbside collection, which currently is approximately $130,000. Incremental cost avoidance for the proposed weekly large item and garbage container limit changes, which would likely be offset by incremental increases in the organics and recycling collection costs, based on anticipated increased participation in diversion programs. Extended site life for open Regional landfills, and more revenue generating capacity from the reduction of divertible materials being landfilled by residents and other service users who are participating in the curbside recycling and organics collection programs. Cost avoidance/cost reduction in the landfill contract with Walker Environmental due to an increase in the diversion of waste from disposal. Increased tonnages of food and organic waste collected at the curb from improved participation and capture rates would result in increased processing contract costs, unless the tonnages are offset by food waste avoidance and other reduction initiatives. Reduced methane emissions due to the reduction of organics being landfilled will result in less leachate generated, thereby reducing costs associated with care and control of these landfill sites. Analysis A) BACKGROUND Current Collection Contracts: Niagara Region’s current collection contracts with Halton Recycling Ltd., doing business as Emterra Environmental, and Waste Connections of Canada Inc. expire March 7, 2021. Niagara Region recently awarded a new collection contract for the municipalities of Lincoln and West Lincoln to Canadian Waste Management Inc. from January 2, 2019 until March 7, 2021. These contracts include provision of base and enhanced collection services, which are defined as follows: i) Base Collection Services Niagara Region currently provides base collection services (i.e. weekly garbage, recycling, and organics) to all property types, including IC&I and MU properties located inside and outside DBAs, in all 12 Local Area Municipalities (LAM). Each LAM pays a proportional share of this cost, based on their total household units, as a percen tage of the Region’s total household units. Appendix 1 provides a comparison of the current vs. proposed base collection services for each property type. Page 374 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 4 ii) Enhanced Collection Services Niagara Region also provides enhanced collection services (i.e. street litter, front-end garbage, additional garbage container limits, increased garbage or recycling collection frequency, etc.), at the request of each LAM. Each LAM directly pays for the cost associated with providing their enhanced collection services. Each LAM was requested to verify which enhanced collection services they would like included as part of Niagara Region’s next collection RFP. Appendix 2 provides a detailed comparison of the current vs. previous enhanced collection services provided in each LAM. Current Residential Diversion Rate: Over the past seven years, Niagara Region’s residential diversion rate has increased from 42% (2010) to 56% (2017), however this rate may be plateauing. In preparation for the next contract, Niagara Region is investigating options to increase participation in the recycling and organics diversion programs, such as EOW garbage collection and mandatory use of clear garbage bags. Experience in other Ontario jurisdictions demonstrates that EOW garbage collection is an effective mechanism to increase diversion. It is a best practice in Ontario and the highest residential diversion rate primarily attributable to EOW was in York Region (66% in 2016). While Niagara has achieved its 2016 residential diversion target of 56%, additional mechanisms are needed to achieve the 2020 target of 65%. These mechanisms also include improved recognition of waste reduction and reuse efforts, which traditionally are more difficult to measure. Estimated Landfill Capacity: At the time of this report, approval for the Humberstone Landfill expansion is expected to be finalized before the end of 2018. This landfill expansion will provide capacity for an estimated 25 years or more, based on serving the southern Niagara municipalities. The current remaining capacity at the Niagara Road 12 Landfill is 48 years, based on serving the municipalities of Pelham, Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln. Niagara Region’s current disposal contract with Walker Environmental for the remaining Niagara municipalities ends in February 2031, or just over 12 years. In order to ensure long term disposal capacity is available, Niagara Region staff are: i) Initiating the RFP for the Long Term Waste Management Strategic Plan in 2019- 2020. ii) Participating in the Municipal Mixed Waste Processing (MWP) Working Group, which has the objective to “identify collaboration opportunities and specific information needs, actions and timelines, in order to determine the feasibility of jointly implementing waste management policies, programs and/or facilities”, which includes alternative technology facilities. iii) Continuing to engage other neighbouring municipalities in discussions related to available capacity at their current/future alternative waste management technology Page 375 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 5 ______________________________________________________________________ facilities and future needs that could be addressed by partnering on alternative technologies. B) PROPOSED BASE COLLECTION OPTIONS The following proposed base collection options were included as part of the stakeholder consultation and engagement phase for Niagara Region’s next collection contract: 1) Change the weekly garbage container (bag/can) limits for IC&I and MU properties located inside DBAs from seven (7) containers to four (4) containers per property. 2) Change the weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from six (6) containers to four (4) containers per property. 3) Every-other-week (EOW) collection for garbage only (weekly recycling and organics to continue) for all sectors outside DBAs: Current garbage container limits would double for all sectors (i.e. LDR properties would be allowed to set out two (2) garbage containers, on an EOW basis). and/or 4) Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag: The clear bag program will be for all sectors (both inside and outside DBAs). 5) Establishment of a four (4) item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at LDR properties, and, if requested by LAMs, as an enhanced collection service at eligible Multi-Residential (MR) and MU properties. 6) Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal collection at LDR properties. Rationale for Proposed Base Collection Options: The following rationale was taken into consideration when determining which collection options were recommended for consultation: 1) Increasing participation and capture rates in the Region’s recycling and organics diversion programs and extending existing landfill site capacity; Nearly 50% of low density residential garbage is organic waste and only 48% use the residential Green Bin program; IC&I and MU audits show diversion programs underutilized. 2) Benchmarking collection services, based on the best practices and/or major trends observed from the service levels provided at Niagara’s 13 municipal comparators that would result in financial, environmental and/or social benefit e.g. contract cost avoidance and increased diversion though the implementation of EOW garbage collection. 3) Reflecting actual service usage based on results of curbside audits and other collection monitoring/measurements and contract cost avoidance for services with limited usage: 99% of properties using the large item service set out 4 items or less and 92% of the total bookings were for 4 or less items. Appliances and scrap metal: – Tonnages have decreased by 94% since 2007; Page 376 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________ – Items can be recycled, at no cost, at the Region’s Drop-off Depots, or by scrap metal haulers/dealers; – Only 6% of properties are using the service. 4) Standardizing base garbage collection limits across similar sectors to improve service delivery and program communication, increase participation and capture rates in diversion programs, potentially avoid contract costs for a service level which is not needed and reduce contract complexity – this specifically includes consistent base garbage collection container (bag/can) limits for the IC&I and MU sectors inside and outside DBAs; Average number of garbage containers placed out per week: – IC&I properties inside DBAs was 2.1; – MU properties inside DBAs was 2.0; – MU properties outside the DBA is 2.4. Proposed four (4) garbage container limit should meet the set-out needs of the IC&I and MU properties, based on these audit results, particularly if diversion services are utilized. IC&I properties outside DBAs already have a base four (4) garbage container limit in place. The associated rationale for each proposed base collection option and the curbside set- out audit data for the IC&I and MU sectors are included in more detail in Appendix 3. C) STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION AND ENGAGEMENT PHASE The stakeholder consultation and engagement phase was referred to as “Let’s Talk Waste Niagara”. Stakeholder consultation and engagement began in May 2018 and was carried out in two phases: 1) Targeted Stakeholder Consultation 2) Broad-based Community Consultation 1) Targeted Stakeholder Consultation: Various stakeholder groups were targeted for consultation to provide input on the proposed collection options being considered for Niagara Region’s next contract. These stakeholder groups included: a) Regional Departments and Agencies, Boards and Commissions (ABCs) (i.e. Niagara Region’s Planning and Development Services Department, Niagara Regional Housing, and Niagara Region’s Economic Development); b) Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC); c) Organizations Representing Businesses (i.e. Business Improvement Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Niagara Tourism Agencies, and Niagara Industrial Association); d) LAMs (i.e. municipal staff and Councillors). Page 377 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 7 ______________________________________________________________________ The formal input on the proposed collection options was received from the following targeted stakeholder groups: a) Regional Departments and ABCs: i) Niagara Region’s Planning and Development Services: Niagara Region’s Planning and Development Services noted the proposed options align with and support policy 4.2.9.1 d) i) of the Growth Plan, which relates to waste management. Staff also reviewed the proposed container limit changes pertaining to MU properties inside and outside DBAs, to ensure alignment with broader Corporate initiatives, including the objectives of Growth Management policies. Based upon their review, it was anticipated that smaller MU developments would not be affected by the proposed change in container limits. ii) Niagara Regional Housing: Niagara Regional Housing reviewed the relevant proposed collection options and indicated they would not be in support of EOW garbage collection, or mandatory use of clear bags for garbage at their properties. iii) Niagara Region’s Economic Development: Niagara Region’s Economic Development indicated that their work generally revolves around larger industrial companies, which would not use the Region’s curbside garbage collection service, and would not be impacted by the proposed collection options. b) Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC) A meeting was held with members of the WMAC on November 21, 2018 to discuss the proposed collection options and obtain their formal comments. The WMAC members voted all in favour or majority in favour of all of the proposed collection options. c) Organizations Representing Businesses (ORBs): Meetings were held with representatives from each of Niagara’s local Business Improvement Associations (including LAM staff), Chambers of Commerce, Niagara Tourism Agencies, Niagara Economic Development Corporation, and Niagara Industrial Association, during the months of July, August and September. The dates of these meetings can be found in Appendix 5. Page 378 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 8 ______________________________________________________________________ The purpose of these meetings was to: Discuss the proposed collection options; Obtain their preliminary input on these options; Obtain their input on how to further engage their members; and, Request their formal comments on the proposed collection options by November 30, 2018. The following ORBs provided formal comments on the proposed collection options for the next contract: Queen Street BIA, Niagara Falls Victoria Centre BIA, Niagara Falls St. Catharines Downtown Business Association Port Dalhousie Business Association Grimsby Downtown Improvement Association Pelham Business Association A copy of the ORB’s comments were provided to the respective LAM, for their consideration, and are included in Appendix 4. Based on the comments received, there was limited support for the mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, or the reduction in the garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties inside the DBAs. d) Local Area Municipalities (LAMs) Correspondence on the proposed collection options and enhanced collection services was sent to LAM Clerks and Public Works Officials (PWO) in May 2018, for their review and comment. Niagara Region made presentations on the proposed collection options at several PWO meetings during 2018. In addition, Region staff offered to attend LAM Committee or Council meetings to make a presentation. As of December 19, Region staff were requested to present at the following LAM Committee or Council meetings: Grimsby Council (December 17, 2018) Niagara-on-the-Lake Council (January 7, 2019) Lincoln Council (January 14, 2019) Niagara Falls Council (January 15, 2019) Fort Erie Council (January 21, 2019) West Lincoln Council (January 21, 2019) Welland General Committee (January 22, 2019) Town of Grimsby Town of Grimsby Council, at its December 17, 2018 meeting, approved the eight recommendations, which were included in Report DPW18-42: Page 379 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 9 ______________________________________________________________________ 1) Implement EOW garbage collection for all residential properties and for those IC&I and MU properties located outside the Grimsby DIA area, as a base service. 2) Do not implement clear garbage bags. 3) Establish a four-item limit for large item collection, per residential unit. 4) Provide large-item collection at MR buildings with 7 or more residential units and MU properties with 1 or more residential unit. 5) Discontinue appliances and scrap metal curbside collection at LDR properties. 6) Reduce the number of garbage bags/containers for IC&I and MU properties inside the DIA area from 7 to 4 per week, as a base service. 7) The Town’s enhanced service and extra payment for collection inside the Grimsby DIA area remain at two collection days per week but changed to Tuesdays and Fridays and that the number of garbage bags/containers be reduced from 12 per pick-up day to 6 per pick-up day (12 per week), resulting in the Town’s Enhanced service payment being reduced from 17 bags/containers per week to 8 . 8) The number of garbage bags/containers for MU properties outside the Grimsby DIA area be reduced from 6 to 4 per week, or 8 containers under EOW garbage collection, as a base service. Formal comments from the remaining LAMs on the proposed base collection options and which enhanced services are to be included in Niagara Region’s next contract are requested by February 1, 2019 or no later than February 20, 2019. 2) Broad-based Community Consultation: In addition to targeted stakeholder consultation, a broad-based community consultation was undertaken with the following stakeholder groups: LDR households; MR property owners, groups and associations (i.e. property management companies); IC&I and MU property owners This broad-based community consultation included the following activities and approaches: a) Promotion & Outreach; b) Surveys; c) Public Open Houses and Community Booths; d) Social Media; and e) Waste Management Info-Line and Website. a) Promotion & Outreach: The following mediums were used during the last week of October and the entire month of November to promote community consultation on the proposed collection options: (i) Niagara Region’s Website Page 380 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 10 ______________________________________________________________________ (ii) Social Media (i.e. Facebook paid ads and posts and Twitter posts) with a link to the “Let’s Talk Waste” webpage; (iii) Letters sent to IC&I, MU and MR properties, which use Region’s curbside garbage; (iv) Newspaper Advertisements (i.e. print and on-line); (v) Media Coverage (i.e. Cogeco YourTV, 610 CKTB, newspaper articles); (vi) Postcards (Regional and Municipal offices) Details on each of the various promotional mediums can be found in Appendix 5. b) Surveys: A Request for Proposal was awarded to Metroline Research Group to undertake quantitative research to determine whether there was sufficient support for recommending the proposed collection options. The following surveys were completed: (i) On-line surveys were completed by 6,639 LDR households, 38 MR and 166 IC&I and MU properties (86 outside DBAs and 80 inside DBAs); (ii) Telephone survey of 1,253 LDR households; Based on preliminary results, as of December 17, 2018, strong support for the following options occurred: Establishment of a four (4) item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at LDR properties, as a base service. Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal curbside collection at LDR properties, as a base service. However, no clear LDR support for EOW garbage collection or mandatory use of clear garbage bags was demonstrated in the survey results: LDR households were roughly split on supporting EOW garbage collection with slightly more leaning towards continuing their weekly collection. Opposition to the mandatory use of clear garbage bags was apparent, particularly from the on-line survey (73% of LDR households opposed). In order to determine the order of preference for clear garbage bags versus EOW garbage collection (or both), all survey respondents were asked to make a program choice. The below table highlights the results from all stakeholder groups, with the exception of IC&I and MU inside DBAs who would not receive EOW garbage collection, and in many cases receive enhanced services. LDR MR IC&I and MU Outside DBAs Telephone On-line On-line On-line Clear Bag 33% 17% 29% 36% EOW 27% 33% 13% 15% Page 381 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 11 ______________________________________________________________________ LDR MR IC&I and MU Outside DBAs Both Clear Bag and EOW 21% 12% 18% 7% Neither1 19% 38% 40% 42% 1. In the telephone survey, LDR households could not see the option of ‘neither’ and the interviewer worked to obtain a choice, which is why this option has a much lower response than in the on-line surveys. In the case of the IC&I and MU sectors: Majority of those property owners (58% of 43 respondents) receiving base garbage collection inside the DBAs indicated they can manage if the container limit is reduced from seven (7) containers to four (4); Majority of those property owners (65% of 43 IC&I respondents and 74% of 35 MU respondents) outside the DBAs support continuing the current level of service. A more detailed description of results is provided below. (i) On-line Surveys: On-line surveys were developed to obtain formal input from various stakeholder groups (i.e. LDR, MR, IC&I and MU) on the proposed collection options. These on-line surveys were open to all residents and businesses receiving Niagara Region’s curbside garbage collection service. A total of 6,639 on-line surveys were completed by LDR households, 38 on -line surveys by MR households, and 166 on-line surveys by IC&I and MU properties. There were no controls to limit the regions or populations for survey participants. However, Metroline monitored and deleted any duplicate survey submissions. The highlights of the on-line survey results for each sector are included below. LDR: o 43% would be able to manage with EOW garbage collection; o 62% would not support mandatory use of clear bags for garbage; o 33% would choose the option of EOW garbage collection; 17% clear bags; 12% both EOW and clear bags; and 38% neither option; o 72% would not be impacted with placing a maximum limit of four large items per weekly collection; o 61% would not be impacted with the elimination of curbside collection of appliances/scrap metal MR: o 37% would be able to manage with EOW garbage collection; Page 382 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 12 ______________________________________________________________________ o 42% would not support mandatory use of clear bags for garbage; o 13% would choose the option of EOW garbage collection; 29% clear bags; 18% both EOW and clear bags; and 40% neither option IC&I and MU Inside DBAs (Base Collection): o 58% could manage if the weekly base container limit was reduced from seven to four containers; o 46% of IC&I and 49% of MU properties would not support mandatory use of clear bags for garbage IC&I and MU Inside DBAs (Enhanced Collection): o 66% feel they need to maintain their current container limits; o 87% feel they need to continue with their current frequency of collection IC&I and MU Outside DBAs (Base Collection): o 66% of MU properties could manage if the weekly base container limit was reduced from six to four containers; o 35% of IC&I and 26% of MU properties would be able to manage with EOW garbage collection o 38% of IC&I and 63% of MU properties would not support mandatory use of clear bags for garbage (ii) Telephone Survey: Metroline conducted a random telephone survey of residents living in LDR properties. In total, 1,253 surveys were conducted, which can be considered statistically accurate to within +/-2.8%, 19 times out of 20 (95% Confidence Interval). The sample was divided between the 12 LAMs, with minimum of 75 surveys was completed in each. The highlights of the telephone survey results are included below: LDR: o 46% would be able to manage with EOW garbage collection; o 38% would not support mandatory use of clear bags for garbage; o 27% would choose the option of EOW garbage collection; 33% clear bags; 21% both EOW and clear bags; and 19% neither option; o 89% would not be impacted with placing a maximum limit of four large items per weekly collection; o 75% would not be impacted with the elimination of curbside collection of appliances/scrap metal Additional details on the LDR on-line and telephone survey results can be found in Appendix 8. Page 383 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 13 ______________________________________________________________________ c) Public Open Houses and Community Booths: Niagara Region conducted one public open house and one community booth event in each of Niagara’s 12 LAMs during the month of November. The dates and locations of these events can be found in Appendix 6. The purpose of these events was to engage participants on the proposed collection options and request their input on the proposed collection options through completion of the on-line survey. There were over 500 participants that attended these various events held across the region. The majority of comments received were related to the options for EOW garbage collection and mandatory use of clear garbage bags. Participants attending the community booths and open houses were divided about every-other-week garbage collection. While approximately half of the participants expressed their support, there were some specific concerns that were repeated throughout the consultation process. There was less support for clear bags, with the majority of participants expressing opposition to this option. A minority of the feedback and conversations at these events dealt with the options to introduce a four-item limit on large item collection and the discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal curbside collection, but of those commenting, there was a high level of support to implement these changes. Appendix 4 provides a summary of the more commonly-repeated concerns raised during these events. d) Social Media: Facebook was the primary social media platform used by stakeholders to comment on the proposed collection options for the next contract. The majority of comments were related to the proposed options for the mandatory use of clear garbage bags and every-other-week garbage collection. Of all the comments documented that were related to every-other-week garbage collection, 22% of comments were in support of this proposed option. For clear garbage bags, 10% of comments related to this option were supportive. Overall, the majority of commenters used this platform as a means of communicating their concerns. The comments posted on the Region’s paid Facebook advertisement were reviewed, categorized and tallied. As of November 30, 2018, there were 1,467 Facebook comments were posted. Appendix 4 provides a summary of the ten most frequently reported concerns, in order of the frequency that they appeared in the comments section. Page 384 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 14 ______________________________________________________________________ e) Comments from Niagara Region’s Waste Management Info-Line and Website: A total of 65 comments/inquiries on the proposed collection options were received and responded to by staff through Niagara Region’s Waste Management Info-Line, Website or by email in either June, October, or November. D) OVERVIEW OF KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Base Collection Service Changes As a result of the stakeholder engagement and consultation process, the following key recommendations are being made: a) EOW Garbage Collection Based on best practices and experience with EOW garbage collection in Niagara’s municipal comparator group (municipalities with populations greater than 300,000) and the potential for significant cost reduction, it is recommended that this option be included for pricing in the next collection contract RFP, for comparison with weekly garbage collection frequency. Although there was no clear stakeholder support and Niagara Regional Housing expressed opposition to this option, municipalities who have implemented this change note that residents do adapt and increase their diversion efforts, as a result. EOW garbage collection would apply to all residential properties and those Industrial, Commercial & Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed-Use (MU) properties located outside Designated Business Areas (DBAs), as a base service (weekly recycling and organics to continue, and current garbage container (bag/can) limits would double for affected sectors, on an EOW basis). b) Limit on Large Item Collection Establishment of a four (4) item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at LDR properties, as a base service is recommended, based on actual usage statistics and responses from a majority of survey respondents. c) Discontinuation of Appliances and Scrap Metal Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal curbside collection at LDR properties, as a base service is recommended based on actual usage statistics and responses from a majority of survey respondents. d) Weekly Base Garbage Container Limits Inside DBAs Changing the weekly garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties located inside Designated Business Areas (DBAs) from seven (7) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service, is recommended, based on actual usage statistics and responses from a majority of base service user on-line survey respondents. Although the base garbage container limit would decrease, eligible IC&I and MU properties inside the DBAs have unlimited organics and recycling collection once weekly, but currently Page 385 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 15 ______________________________________________________________________ these diversion programs are underutilized. It should be noted that of the six (6) ORBs that provided formal comment, only one (1) supported this change. e) Weekly Base Garbage Container Limits Outside DBAs Changing the weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from six (6) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service, is recommended, based on actual usage statistics and to achieve a standardized base collection service across all similar sectors (in combination with option d) above). This will reduce service and contract complexity and improve program communication across the region. This change is also expected to result in increased diversion efforts, as the current unlimited recycling and organics program for all eligible IC&I and MU properties are currently underutilized. The IC&I sector outside the DBAs has had four (4) container limit per property, as a base service since March 2011. However, it should be noted that out of the 43 MU survey respondents, only one third felt they could manage if this change was made. While the initial list of all proposed options is supported by WMAC and Niagara Region’s Planning and Development Services noted the options align with and support policy 4.2.9.1 d) i) of the Growth Plan, which relates to waste management, one of the options is not recommended for implementation based on the general lack of support from survey respondents. The use of mandatory clear garbage bags will continue to be monitored for potential future implementation but based on existing data from Ontario jurisdictions, EOW garbage collection is expected to have more of a positive financial and diversion performance impact. In order to address the concerns and comments received on the proposed options being recommended for inclusion in the next collection contract, Appendix 7 proposes potential solutions to minimize impact of the change(s) on the service user. This appendix will continue to be developed and expanded, as required. 2. Enhanced Collection Service Changes Niagara Region is requesting that LAMs confirm existing or new enhanced services that should be provided as part of the next collection contract. There are three areas that should be specifically addressed: a) In those LAMS that provide enhanced garbage collection service to DBAs, Regional staff have been engaged in discussions with Local Public Works Officials on one or more of the following proposals for the IC&I and MU sectors, based on usage of current garbage collection service and underutilization of the diversion programs: Reducing DBA garbage container limits; Reducing frequency of DBA garbage collection; and Increasing recycling and/or organics collection service to align with frequency of garbage collection. Page 386 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 16 ______________________________________________________________________ b) Provision of enhanced bulky goods collection to those households in MR buildings with seven (7) or more residential units (garbage limit of a maximum of 12 containers per week with no tags) and MU properties with one (1) or more residential unit (garbage limit of a maximum of seven (7) containers per week outside the DBA and a maximum of six (6) containers per week inside the DBA), that receive the Region’s curbside base garbage collection and/or to those MR building receiving enhanced Regional containerized front end garbage collection service: These properties must be participating in the Region’s diversion programs (i.e. recycling and organics) in order to qualify to receive this service. This service would be provided in a manner that is parallel to the approved service for the LDR sector. c) Verification if any municipality would like to include a per stop price for in -ground public space recycling and litter bins and/or for in-ground IC&I, MR and/or MU properties (all streams), as an enhanced service under provisional items. 3. Contract Service Improvements As outlined in Report WMPSC-C 9-2018, staff will be pursuing the following service improvements in the next collection contract RFP: a) Potential changes to how the Region collects leaf and yard waste (L&YW) and brush at LDR households, which would be a seamless change to residents: In addition to the current service level, the Region would obtain pricing to provide an additional four weeks of dedicated L&YW and branch collection in the spring and the fall seasons, in the urban areas only, or potentially expanding a dedicated L&YW and brush collection to approximately ten (10) months of the year in urban areas; This change would result in lower organics processing costs by separating L&YW material from green bin material, thereby removing this material from the GORE system; This change would result in increased organics collection costs associated with providing these additional L&YW and branch collection service; Staff will need to complete a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether the organics processing cost savings outweigh the increased collection costs before determining whether to proceed with these changes. b) Elimination of a current restriction that impacts IC&I properties with private garbage collection. Currently, these properties, which would otherwise have been eligible to receive curbside garbage collection, are restricted from using this service. These properties must be participating in the Region’s diversion programs (i.e. recycling and organics), in order to qualify to receive the curbside garbage collection service. Page 387 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 17 ______________________________________________________________________ E) NEXT STEPS The Region is requesting receipt of the following from LAMs by February 1, 2019 or no later than Feb 20, 2019: Comments/position on proposed base collection service options ; Verification of current or additional enhanced services - this would include: - Services to IC&I and MU properties inside DBAs; - Provision of enhanced large item collection service to MR and MU residential units, in a manner parallel to the service provided to the LDR sector (i.e. if LDR has a 4 item limit per unit per collection day, this would also apply to MR and MU residential units); - Inclusion of a per stop price for in-ground public space recycling and litter bins and/or for in-ground IC&I, MR and/or MU properties (all streams), as an enhanced service under provisional items. The milestones for the collection contract RFP development are outlined below: Report to Public Works Committee (PWC) and Council on results of stakeholder consultation and engagement (PWC January 8, 2019 and Council January 17, 2019); Receipt of each LAM’s position on base and enhanced services (no later than February 20, 2019); Council approval of service levels to be included and RFP development initiated (Q2 to Q3 2019); RFP issuance (early Q4 2019); Award of new collection contract (Q1 2020); One year for successful bidders to order/receive their fleet of collection vehicles (Q1 2020 to Q1 2021); Start of new contract (March 8, 2021). Alternatives Reviewed Niagara Region investigated the option of switching over to cart-based collection for the next collection contract. Under the Province’s Environmental Plan, waste diversion programs, such as the Blue Box Program, may be moving to the producer responsibility model. As a result, Niagara Region would no longer be responsible for providing collection and processing of Blue Box materials. This would be the responsibili ty of the Blue Box industry stewards. Therefore, at this time, staff did not believe implementing major program changes was advisable. Also, based on the experiences of other municipalities that implemented a cart-based collection program, this option was not recommended for further consideration for the following reasons: 1) Significant capital costs to purchase and distribute the carts Page 388 of 613 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 18 ______________________________________________________________________ 2) On-going annual maintenance and replacement costs associated with the carts 3) Higher contamination rates of the recycling and organics streams associated with the use of carts. As a result, there would be a decrease in the Region’s revenues and difficulty with marketing the recyclables. 4) Additional costs associated with retrofitting Niagara Region’s Materials Recycling Facility from the current two-stream operation to a single-stream operation, if all recyclables are collected in one cart. Based on the results received during the stakeholder consultation and engagement phase, the following proposed collection option is not being recommended for implementation, as part of Niagara Region’s next collection contract: 1) Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag Relationship to Council Strategic Priorities The recommendation to approve the proposed base collection services for Niagara Region’s next collection contract supports Council’s Strategic Priority of Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

Pros Cons 1) Fairness & equity: Base Collection Service: based on the 2018 curbside audits: – average # of garbage containers placed out per week by IC&I properties inside DBAs was 2.1. – in 2018, audits were completed in: Grimsby, Welland (Downtown and North End), Port Colborne (Main St. and Downtown), Lincoln (Beamsville and Vineland), Pelham, Thorold, St. Catharines (Downtown and Port Dalhousie), Fort Erie (Ridgeway, Bridgeburg, and Crystal Beach), and Niagara Falls (Queen, Main St., Lundy’s Lane, Clifton Hill and Chippawa) DBAs. based on the 2016 and 2018 curbside audits: – average # of garbage containers placed out per week by MU properties inside DBAs was 2.0. – in 2016, audits were completed in: Fort Erie (Ridgeway, Bridgeburg, and Crystal Beach), Welland (Downtown and North End), and Port Colborne (Main St. and Downtown) DBAs. – in 2018, audits were completed in: Grimsby, Lincoln (Beamsville and Vineland), Pelham, Thorold, St. Catharines (Downtown and Port Dalhousie), and Niagara Falls (Queen, Main St., Lundy’s Lane, Clifton Hill and Chippawa) DBAs. the proposed 4 garbage container limit should meet the set-out needs of the IC&I and MU properties, based on these audit results, particularly if diversion services are 1) Potential illegal dumping: if garbage container limits are decreased, there is potential for businesses and residents to illegally dump items. 2) Potential for increased number of complaints from business owners, MU property owners and residents due to reduced container limit: business owners may potentially complain about this reduction in container limit being provided to their property.

Enhanced Collection Service: based on the 2014 garbage set-outs at enhanced IC&I properties: – Grimsby (12 garbage container limit, twice per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 3.6 – West Lincoln (7 garbage container limit, twice per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 2.5 – Thorold (7 garbage container limit, three times per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 4.5 based on the 2015 garbage set-outs at enhanced Niagara Falls IC&I and MU properties: – Main Street, Lundy’s Lane and Queen Street DBAs – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 5.2 (IC&I) and 2.9 (MU) – audits were completed during the summer months, when the 15 garbage container limit was in effect for food and lodging outlets (1 collection per week). It is a 7 garbage container limit elsewhere, once/week. based on the 2018 garbage set-outs at enhanced IC&I and/or MU properties: – Grimsby (12 garbage container limit, twice per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 1.6 (MU) – West Lincoln (7 garbage container limit, twice per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 1.7 (MU) Page 401 of 613 Appendix 3 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 31 ______________________________________________________________________ Pros Cons – Thorold (7 garbage container limit, three times per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 1.9 (MU) – NotL (20 garbage container limit, three times per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 6.0 (IC&I) and 6.8 (MU) – St. Catharines (7 garbage container limit, four times per week) – average # of garbage containers placed out per set-out: 2.7 (IC&I) and 1.5 (MU) 2) Change the weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from six (6) containers to four (4) containers per property, as a base service. Pros Cons 1) Fairness & equity: Base Collection Service: based on the 2014 curbside audit: – average # of garbage containers placed out per week by MU properties outside DBAs: 2.4 the proposed four (4) container limit would meet the set-out needs of the MU properties, based on these audit results. the proposed four (4) container garbage limit will align with the existing four container garbage limit for IC&I properties located outside DBAs, and the proposed limit for IC&I and MU properties located inside DBAs. it will increase diversion, with less reliance on landfill. 1) Potential illegal dumping: if garbage container limits are decreased, there is potential for businesses and residents to illegally dump items. 2) Potential for increased number of complaints from business owners, due to reduced container limit: business owners, MU property owners and residents may potentially complain about this reduction in container limit being provided to their property. 3) Every-other-week (EOW) collection for garbage only (weekly recycling and organics to continue) for all sectors outside DBAs, as a base service. Current garbage container limits would double for all sectors (i.e. LDR properties would be allowed to set out two (2) garbage containers, on an EOW basis). Pros Cons 1) Municipal best practice/trend: 1) Potential illegal dumping: Page 402 of 613 Appendix 3 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 32 ______________________________________________________________________ Pros Cons approximately 70% of the municipal comparators (Barrie, Durham, Halton, Markham, Ottawa, Toronto, Vaughan, Peel and Waterloo) provide EOW garbage collection service. Residents have adapted to this change. 2) Increased waste diversion: waste diversion rates increased between 6% (Peel) and 16% (Durham) for these municipal comparators. This depended on whether they introduced other diversion programs (i.e. organics) at the same time as EOW garbage. 3) Potential contract savings: annual contract savings for the municipal comparators ranged between $200,000 (Barrie), Waterloo ($1.5 million), and $12 million (Peel), depending on size of the contract and any other contract changes that were implemented (i.e. EOW, carts, etc.). – However, Peel staff reported a one-time initial cost to implement three stream cart collection of $35 million (based on 325,000 single-family homes), with an estimated annual maintenance and replacement cost of $1 to 3 million. avoided Walker disposal costs, if there is a decrease in the volume of garbage collected. 4) Regional disposal capacity: preservation of existing Regional disposal capacity, if the volume of garbage landfilled decreases. 5) Fairness & equity: based on the 2015-16 waste composition study, Niagara’s LDR properties set out an average of 0.9 garbage containers per if residents/businesses are not provided with weekly garbage collection service, there is potential for them to illegally dump items. 2) Potential increased number of complaints, due to reduction in service: Residents/businesses may complain about this reduction in garbage collection service being provided to their property. Page 403 of 613 Appendix 3 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 33 ______________________________________________________________________ Pros Cons week. 4) Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag. The clear bag program will be for all sectors (both inside and outside DBAs), as a base service. Pros Cons 1) Increased waste diversion: studies completed by Ontario’s Stewardship Effectiveness & Efficiency Fund report that “clear bag programs are successful in decreasing the amount of recyclables being landfilled or incinerated, and have shown that mandatory by-laws and clear bags result in maximum participation and diversion”. implementing clear bags resulted in a 6% increase in Markham’s 2014 diversion rate, for a total diversion rate of 81%. residents are motivated to recycle due to social pressure. 2) Enforcement/safety: increases awareness of what is placed in the garbage, due to visibility of bag contents. eliminates (or minimizes) the option of concealing hazardous or other non-acceptable materials (e.g. recyclables and organics) in the garbage. facilitates education and enforcement of Niagara’s Waste Management By-law, where necessary. 3) Fairness & equity: clear bags are currently being used for diapers by those Niagara residents operating daycares out of 1) Perception of invasion of privacy: residents using clear bags may complain it is an invasion of their privacy. – this concern is partially addressed by allowing the use of an opaque bag inside the clear bag. IC&I business groups, who participated in the Region’s 2012 consultation sessions for a clear garbage bag pilot, expressed privacy concerns, as well. 2) Potential illegal dumping: residents and businesses opposing the use of clear garbage bags may potentially illegally dump their garbage. 3) Collection issues: if a clear bag is placed inside a reusable container, enforcement may become more difficult if driver dumps the contents of the container directly into truck, as opposed to pulling the clear bag out of the container to look at it. the IC&I business groups expressed concerns about the aesthetics of uncollected bags, which would contain non- acceptable materials, being left in downtown or tourist areas. 4) Other Municipal programs: Page 404 of 613 Appendix 3 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 34 ______________________________________________________________________ Pros Cons their households, or families with at least two children under the age of four years old. – these residents may feel the program ensures equal treatment for all households. clear bag pilots were implemented in two comparator municipalities (Durham and Markham), however only Markham implemented a full program. Durham decided not to implement a region-wide clear bag program in 2014, due to a lack of information on the effectiveness of the clear bag in reducing the amount of garbage collected. 5) Establishment of a four (4) item limit per unit per collection for large item service at LDR, MR and MU properties. Pros Cons 1) Municipal best practice/trend: average large item limit is three per residential unit for those municipalities with weekly collection, and four per residential unit with bi- weekly collection. 2) Potential contract savings: municipalities that implemented collection limits on the number of large items reported contract savings. 3) Fairness & equity: provides a standardized collection limit for all properties. Niagara residents set out an average of fewer than 2 large items per collection in 2018. 1) Potential illegal dumping: if residents are limited in the amount of large items that can be collected, there is potential for them to illegally dump items. 2) Potential increased number of complaints from residents, due to reduction in service: residents may complain about this reduction in service being provided to their property. 6) Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal collection at LDR properties. Pros Cons 1) Municipal best practice/trend: approximately half of municipal comparators (Barrie, Hamilton, 1) Potential illegal dumping: if residents are not provided with service, there is potential for them Page 405 of 613 Appendix 3 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 35 ______________________________________________________________________ Pros Cons London, Ottawa, Peel and Windsor) do not provide appliance collection service. 2) Potential contract savings: municipalities that eliminated this collection service realized a contract savings. In Peel, this was a net annual savings of $100K. Niagara’s current annual cost to collect these items is $126K (or $2,032 per tonne due to the reduced tonnage). many appliances and scrap metal items are scavenged before municipal contractors can collect them. – for the first two months of 2018, Emterra reported that approximately 60% of the items scheduled for collection were “not out” and were potentially scavenged. appliance and scrap metal tonnages collected in 2017 were 94% lower than what was collected in 2007. 3) Fairness & equity: residents have the option to recycle these items, at no cost, at the Region’s drop-off depots or a scrap metal dealer, as well as call a scrap metal hauler to collect them. to illegally dump items. Barrie reported an increase in illegal dumping when bulky/white goods collection service was discontinued; however it was not sustained (approximately six months). Peel provided its residents with advanced notice of this discontinuation of service and options for collection, so they did not see any significant increase in illegal dumping. 2) Potential increased number of complaints from residents, due to elimination of this service: residents may complain about the elimination of this service. those municipalities that discontinued collection (Barrie, Hamilton, Ottawa and Peel) reported a minimal reaction from their residents.

______________________________________________________________________ Appendix 4 - Stakeholder Comments on Proposed Base Collection Options Consultation and engagement with stakeholders commenced in May of 2018 to obtain input on the proposed base collection options. The following sections summarize the results of the comments provided by stakeholders throughout the consultation process. Not all stakeholders that staff engaged with provided formal comments on the proposed collection options. In addition, the results of the on-line and telephone survey are contained in a separate appendix. The following section summarizes the formal comments provided from the following stakeholders: Regional Departments and Agencies, Boards and Commissions Waste Management Advisory Committee Organizations Representing Business (ie. Business Improvement Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Tourism Agencies and Industrial Associations) Local Area Municipalities Residents and Business Owners (excluding feedback provided through the on-line and telephone surveys) 1.0 Regional Departments and Agencies, Boards and Commissions (ABCs): Staff from the following Regional Departments and ABCs provided input on the proposed base collection options. 1.1 Planning and Development Services Planning and Development Services reviewed the proposed container lim it changes pertaining to MU properties inside and outside DBAs, to ensure alignment with broader Corporate initiatives, including the objectives of Growth Management policies. The following comments were provided by Pat Busnello, Manager Development Planning: “the proposed reduced limit would not affect larger mixed-use developments that already exceed the current container limits and require private garbage collection” “recent curbside audits referenced in Appendix A of Report WMPSC-C 9- 2018 indicate the average number of garbage containers placed out weekly by mixed-use properties was below the proposed limit. The report therefore, indicates that the needs of mixed-use properties are expected to be met based on the audit results, particularly if diversion services are utilized. As Page 417 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 47 ______________________________________________________________________ such, it is generally not anticipated that smaller mixed-use developments would be affected by the proposed change.” Lindsey Savage, Planner with Community and Long Range Planning provided comments on the alignment of the proposed collection options with the new Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, which took effec t on July 1, 2017: “The proposed changes to waste collection services align with and support policy 4.2.9.1 d) i) of the Growth Plan, which requires municipalities to develop and implement official plan policies and other strategies in support of integrated waste management, including through enhanced waste reduction, composting and recycling initiatives. In addition, a new Regional Official Plan is under development which will include policies supporting integrated waste management, in conformity with the Growth Plan.” 1.2 Economic Development Valerie Kuhns, Economic Development Manager with Economic Development indicated that their work generally revolves around larger industrial companies, which would not use the Region’s curbside garbage collection service, and would not be impacted by the proposed collection options 1.3 Niagara Regional Housing Cameron Banach, Manager Housing Operations with Niagara Regional Housing reviewed the relevant proposed collection options and indicated they would not be in support of EOW garbage collection, or mandatory use of clear bags for garbage at their properties. 2.0 Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC) At the November 21, 2018 WMAC meeting, members voted all in favour or majority in favour of all base collection options. 3.0 Organizations Representing Business Meetings were held with representatives from each of Niagara’s Business Improvement Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Niagara Tourism Agencies, Niagara Economic Development Corporation, and Niagara Industrial Association, during the months of August and September. Page 418 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 48 ______________________________________________________________________ The following ORBs provided formal comments on the proposed collection options for the next contract: Grimsby Downtown Improvement Association: o Do not support reducing base container limit from seven (7) cans/bags to four (4) cans/bags per week. o Do not support mandatory use of clear garbage bags due to concern about enforcement and mixed-use properties. o Do not support reducing enhanced container limit without knowing the associated cost savings. Niagara Falls - Queen Street Business Improvement Association: o Do not support reducing base container limit from seven (7) cans/bags to four (4) cans/bags per week. o Do not support mandatory use of clear garbage bags. Niagara Falls - Victoria Centre Business Improvement Association: o Request reduction in container limit for enhanced collection service from fifteen (15) cans/bags weekly to seven (7) cans/bags weekly. o Do not support mandatory use of clear garbage bags. Support would be contingent on seeing a report on how the contractor will educate its staff on the proper materials that go into the proper containers/bags. o Request collection start time change to 5 a.m., instead of 7 a.m. Pelham Business Association: o Support all proposed collection options Port Dalhousie Business Association: o Expressed concern that proposed options would make collection more onerous and/or costly for businesses. o Also have concerns about storing garbage in the hot summer months. St. Catharines Downtown Business Association: o Do not support reducing base container limit from seven (7) cans/bags to four (4) cans/bags per week. o Do not support mandatory use of clear garbage bags due to concern about enforcement and mixed-use properties. o Request for increased organics/recycling collection and review of days and times of collection for the enhanced collection area. Also request continued front-end cardboard collection bins. Based on these comments, there was very limited support for the mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, or the reduction in the garbage container limits for IC&I and Page 419 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 49 ______________________________________________________________________ MU properties inside the DBAs. The exception was the Pelham Business Association, which supported all proposed options. 4.0 Local Area Municipalities (LAMs) Formal comments from the LAMs on the proposed collection options and which enhanced services to be included in Niagara Region’s next contract are being requested by February 1, 2019. 5.0 Residents and Businesses The primary method for collecting input from residents and businesses on the proposed collection options was through the on-line survey. Residents of low density residential properties were also targeted for feedback through a tel ephone survey. Individuals that wanted to provide comments and feedback in addition to or as an alternative to the surveys were able to do so through a number of options. While this feedback cannot be included in the statistical analysis as representative of the population, it can be considered as part of the anecdotal findings to support the overall findings. Residents and business owners provided additional comments by posting on Facebook, calling the Waste Info-Line, sending emails, providing web submissions and/or speaking with staff in-person at open house and community booth events. These comments are summarized in the subsections below. 5.1 Facebook Facebook was the primary social media platform used by members of the public to comment on the proposed collection options for the next contract. The majority of comments were related to the proposed options for the mandatory use of clear garbage bags and every-other-week garbage collection. Of all of the comments documented that were related to every-other-week garbage collection, 22% of comments were in support of this proposed option. For clear garbage bags, 10% of comments related to this option were supportive. Overall, the majority of commenters used this platform as a means of communicating their concerns. The comments posted on the Region’s paid Facebook advertisement were reviewed, categorized and tallied. The ten most frequently reported concerns are listed below in order of the frequency that they Page 420 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 50 ______________________________________________________________________ appeared in comment section. As of November 30, 2018, 1,467 Facebook comments were posted. Most Common Comments (by % of most posted comments) 1. Concern about odours from products that cannot be placed in the Green Bin (i.e. diapers and raw meat packaging) increasing with every-other-week garbage collection (16%) 2. Concern about privacy with the use of clear garbage bags for personal items (i.e. incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, prescription bottles, bills) and that one opaque bag is not sufficient to contain all of these items (12%) 3. Concern that services are decreasing, but residents will not receive an associated decrease in taxes (10%) 4.

Staffed community booths with informational displays were also held in a public space in each municipality. The community booths were very Page 422 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 52 ______________________________________________________________________ well attended with approximately 450 attendees and open house attendance was lower with 67 attendees, perhaps due to poor weather conditions. The majority of the comments heard were related to the options for every-other- week garbage collection and mandatory use of clear garbage bags. Members of the public visiting the booths and open houses were divided about every-other-week garbage collection. While approximately half of the people that talked to staff at events expressed support, there were some specific concerns that were repeated throughout the consultation process. There was less support for clear bags, with the majority of participants expressing opposition to the option. A minority of the feedback and conversations at these events dealt with the options to introdu ce a four-item limit on bulky item collection and the discontinuation of scrap metal collection, but of those commenting there was a high level of support to implement the changes. The key concerns about the proposed options heard at these stakeholder consultation events are listed below. Most Common Comments (listed in no particular order) 1. Concern about odours from products that cannot be placed in the Green Bin (i.e. diapers and raw meat packaging) increasing with every-other-week garbage collection 2. Concern that illegal dumping will increase as a result of every-other-week garbage collection and/or mandatory use of clear garbage bags. 3. Concern about privacy with the use of clear garbage bags for personal items (i.e. incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, prescription bottles, bills) and that one opaque bag is not sufficient to contain all of these items 4. Concern about the additional expense of having to purchase clear bags and/or privacy bags and potential issues with the quality and availability of clear garbage bags 5. Concern about storing additional garbage bags due to every-other-week garbage collection and/or clear garbage bags that are left behind due to unacceptable materials. 6. Concerns about the ability of collectors to monitor and enforce clear garbage bag contents Page 423 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 53 ______________________________________________________________________ 7. Concern about how residents will transport scrap metals and large appliances to the drop-off depots. 8. Concern about a potential increase in pests (i.e. rats, raccoons, squirrels, coyotes, maggots) if garbage is collected every-other-week 9. Concern that mandatory use of clear garbage bags is adding unnecessary plastic waste to the landfills 10. Complaints about current service, including missed collection, late collection, and generally displeased with service 6.0 Waste Info-Line, Emails, Web Submissions Residents and business owners interested in providing the Region with additional comments were able to do so by calling the Waste Info-Line, sending an email or submitting their comments through the Region’s website. Comments from individuals that provided an address were recorded in CityView, Waste Management’s customer service software. These comments were categorized based on support or opposition to the proposed options. Comments from individuals that did not provide an address recorded in a public comment tracking sheet, separate from the CityView program. As of December 2, 2018, 38 comments were recorded in CityView and 27 additional comments without associated addresses were recorded in the spreadsheet public comment tracking sheet. 6.1 CityView Due to the self-selected nature of the input and the small number of comments recorded, the CityView data cannot be considered representative of the viewpoints of the broader population. The comments do provide anecdotal insight into some of the key attitudes that residents and business owners have towards the proposed collection options. The majority (74%) of individuals that commented were contacting the Region to express concern over one or more of the proposed colle ction options. The key concerns expressed in the comments align with those provided through Facebook and at the open houses/community booths. Individuals opposed to every-other- week garbage collection were concerned about potential odours and pests. Comments related to clear bags were focused on privacy issues. There were also Page 424 of 613 Appendix 4 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 54 ______________________________________________________________________ concerns from multi-residential and mixed-use property owners about tenants not complying with the diversion programs and thus presenting a challenge for both the every-other-week and clear garbage bag options. Of the 38 comments recorded, 26% were in favour of one or all of the proposed options. In particular, 16% were in favour of every-other-week garbage collection. Other comments provided included suggestions for alternative option s, including collection from alternating sides of the road and communal collection areas. 6.2 Additional Comments The additional comments from residents and business owners that did not provide an address align with the comments provided through Facebook, at public consultation events and in CityView. The most frequent comments were concerns about odours and pests related to every-other-week garbage collection and privacy issues associated with clear garbage bags. Page 425 of 613 Appendix 5 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 55 ______________________________________________________________________ Appendix 5 - Stakeholder Consultation and Engagement Process An extensive public consultation and engagement process was undertaken to obtain stakeholder input on the proposed base collection options for the next collection contract. The consultation began in May 2018 was carried out in two phases: targeted stakeholder consultation and broad-based community consultation. Targeted stakeholder consultation involved direct communication with specific stakeholder groups to provide information and gather feedback on the proposed collection options. Broad- based community outreach was completed to reach residents and businesses eligible for Regional curbside collection services to inform them about the proposed collection options and encourage participation in the on-line survey, which was the principle mechanism for collecting public input and feedback. A summary of both phases of the consultation is described below. 1. Targeted Stakeholder Consultation and Engagement 1.1. Regional Departments and Agencies, Boards and Commissions (ABCs): The following Regional Departments and ABCs were contacted to discuss proposed options and invite questions, comments and input into the process: o Planning and Development Services Department o Economic Development o Niagara Regional Housing 1.2. Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC) At the November 21, 2018 meeting of the WMAC, members were provided with a presentation on the proposed collection options and an opportunity for questions and comments. Members were provided with an opportunity to vote on each proposed service option. 1.3. Organizations Representing Business 1.3.1. Business Improvement Associations (BIAs), Chambers of Commerce, Industrial Associations Waste Management staff met with each of Niagara’s BIAs, Chambers of Commerce and the Niagara Industrial Association in August and September of 2018 to provide a presentation on the proposed service options. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss the proposed collection options, obtain preliminary input on these options, obtain input on how to further engage their members and to request formal comments Page 426 of 613 Appendix 5 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 56 ______________________________________________________________________ by November 30, 2018.The meeting dates and representatives that attended the meetings are listed in the tables below.

Those concerns are summarized in Appendix 4. The following table provides potential responses for addressing those concerns and minimizing potential impacts of the proposed collection options. Resident Concern Options for Addressing Concern Odours from diapers, feminine hygiene products, raw meat packaging increasing with every-other-week garbage Provide option for residents to drop-off clear bags of diapers at landfill sites/drop-off depots at no charge. Diapers, feminine hygiene products and raw meat packaging should be sealed tightly a plastic bag and placed in a container with a lid for storage in a cool, dry location. Styrofoam meat trays can be washed and placed in the Blue Box for weekly collection. Increased illegal dumping of garbage as a result of every- other-week garbage and/or clear garbage bags Experience in other municipalities has shown that property owners readily adapt to collection changes and if there is an increase in illegal dumping after the change in collection is implemented, it is temporary and short-lived. By-law officers work to enforce ongoing issues with illegal dumping. Privacy issues with the use of clear garbage bags for personal items To conceal private or sensitive materials, allow an opaque privacy bag (i.e. grocery bag) to be placed inside the clear garbage bags. Confidential documents should be shredded and placed inside a clear plastic bag before being placed inside the Grey Box or Grey Cart. These materials can also be placed in the Green Bin. Experience in Markham showed that allowing multiple opaque privacy bags at outset of clear bag program facilitated implementation and reduced privacy concerns. Page 435 of 613 Appendix 7 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 65 ______________________________________________________________________ Additional expense of having to purchase clear bags and/or privacy bags and potential issues with quality and availability of clear garbage bags Clear plastic and coloured plastic garbage bags are manufactured from the same type of plastic resin. The quality and strength of clear plastic bags is similar to that of opaque plastic bags. Differences in price and quality may occur, based on individual bag size, closure type, packaging size or brand name. Regional staff would communicate with local businesses to ensure that clear bags would be available for purchase at the same local retailers as traditional opaque bags. Storing additional garbage bags due to every-other-week garbage collection and/or clear garbage bags that are left behind due to unacceptable materials Residents and businesses can significantly reduce their garbage by fully utilizing the weekly, unlimited recycling and organics collection services provided by Niagara Region. Once unacceptable materials are removed from clear garbage bags, the materials can be placed out on the next scheduled collection day or taken to a drop-off depot for a fee. Ability of collectors to monitor and enforce clear garbage bag contents Collectors would evaluate whether a bag conforms to the Waste Management By-law regarding recyclables, organics and hazardous waste, based on what can be seen through the clear bag. Collectors would not be opening bags or searching contents. Bags would be assessed visually during collection time to address clear instances of non-conformance, including situations where non-acceptable materials are visible or a clear garbage bag has not been used. Regional staff will follow-up with the property owner regarding the proper set out of material for collection to avoid re- occurrence of uncollected garbage. Ability of residents to transport scrap metal and large appliances to drop-off depots. Residents that do not have the ability to transport scrap metal and large appliances would have the option of contacting private scrap metal haulers for pick-up. Page 436 of 613 Appendix 7 PW 3-2019 January 8, 2019 Page 66 ______________________________________________________________________ Increase in pests (i.e. rats, raccoons, squirrels, maggots) if garbage is collected every- other-week Placing food waste and food soiled-paper products in the Green Bin, which will continue to be collected weekly, will remove the most odorous part of the garbage stream, which can attract pests. Residents can take simple steps to deter pests, such as rodents, from their Green Bins, including: o Keeping the Green Bin container securely closed at all times o Setting out the Green Bin for collection every week, even if it is not full o Setting out the Green Bin by 7am on collection day, not the night before o Storing the Green Bin in a shaded, cool area o Lining the Green Bin with paper liner bags, sheets of newspaper or cereal boxes to absorb liquids Clear garbage bags adding unnecessary plastic waste to landfills For those residents already using garbage bags and/or grocery bags, clear bags would not increase the amount of plastic bags being sent to landfills. Plastic opaque privacy bags would be optional. Use of clear garbage bags would be expected to increase diversion rates, potentially offsetting any additional plastic introduced through use of clear garbage bags. Requests for Region to use carts, bigger containers and/or containers with lids The Region has explored the option using carts for residential curbside collection. The results of that research indicate that the costs of that change would be prohibitive at this time. In addition, cart programs utilize single stream recycling collection, which have higher rates of contamination than the two stream recycling program that Niagara Region is currently using and would negatively affect revenue from the sale of recyclables. Page 437 of 613 Proposed Collection Service Options for Niagara Region’s Next Collection Contract Public Works Committee Meeting January 8, 2019 Page 438 of 613 •Background •Rationale for Options •Base Garbage Collection Service Options •Targeted Stakeholder Consultation •Broad-Based Stakeholder Consultation •Recommendations Proposed Collection Service Options Page 439 of 613 Background •Niagara Region’s next garbage, recycling and organics collection contract is set to begin by March 8, 2021. •Provides an opportunity to complete a service delivery review to improve program effectiveness (i.e. increase diversion) and efficiencies (i.e. mechanisms to reduce or avoid costs). •On April 12, 2018, Regional Council approved proposed base collection services to be included in the stakeholder consultation and engagement process. •Purpose of the report is to seek Council’s approval of the proposed base collection services being recommended for inclusion in Niagara Region’s next collection RFP, based on the results of input received during the stakeholder consultation and engagement phase, subject to input from LAMs.Page 440 of 613 Rationale for Options •Standardize garbage container (bag/can) limits across all Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (IC&I) and Mixed-Use (MU) properties, which use the Region’s base curbside garbage collection service; •Increase participation in Region’s diversion programs; •Results of curbside audits and other collection monitoring/ measurements, which illustrate service usage/need; •Improve program communication and services provided to residents and businesses; and •Best practices and/or major trends in Niagara’s 13 municipal comparators (e.g. every-other-week garbage collection).Page 441 of 613 Base Garbage Collection Service Options 1) Every-other-week (EOW) garbage collection for all sectors outside DBAs, as a base service: •Weekly collection of recycling and organics to continue •Garbage container limit for all properties would double and/or 2) Mandatory use of clear bags for garbage, with the option of allowing an opaque privacy bag to be placed inside the clear bag: •The clear bag program will be for all sectors (both inside and outside DBAs), as a base service.Page 442 of 613 Key Drivers –EOW Garbage and Clear Bags •extend existing landfill site capacity; •contract cost avoidance (EOW garbage collection); •increase participation and capture rates in diversion programs: o Nearly 50% of low density residential garbage is organic waste and only 48% use the residential Green Bin program o IC&I and MU audits show diversion programs underutilized Page 443 of 613 Base Garbage Collection Service Options 3) Establishment of a 4 item limit per residential unit, per collection, for large item collection at LDR properties, as a base service. 4) Discontinuation of appliances and scrap metal collection at LDR properties. Key drivers: Contract cost avoidance for services with limited usage. •99% of properties using the large item service set out 4 items or less and 92% of the total bookings were for 4 or less items •Appliances and scrap metal: -Tonnages have decreased by 94% since 2007 -Items can be recycled, at no cost, at the Region’s Drop-off Depots, or by scrap metal haulers/dealers -Only 6% of properties are using the service Page 444 of 613 Base Garbage Collection Service Options 5) Change the weekly garbage container limits for IC&I and MU properties located inside DBAs from 7 containers to 4 containers per property, as a base service. 6) Change the weekly garbage container limit for MU properties located outside DBAs from 6 containers to 4 containers per property, as a base service. Key Drivers: Standardize base garbage collection limits across similar sectors to improve service delivery and program communication, increase participation and capture rates in diversion programs, potentially avoid contract costs for a service level, which is not needed. •Average number of garbage containers placed out per week: -IC&I and MU properties inside the DBA is 2.1 and 2.0 -MU properties outside the DBA is 2.4Page 445 of 613 Targeted Stakeholder Consultation Stakeholders Consultation Activities and Comment Regional Departments and ABCs •Planning and Development Services Department noted the proposed options align with and support policy 4.2.9.1 d) i) of the Growth Plan, which relates to waste management;also reviewed the proposed container limit changes pertaining to MU properties inside and outside DBAs and anticipate that smaller MU developments would not be affected by the proposed change in container limits. •Economic Development indicated their work generally revolves around larger industrial companies, which would not use the Region’s curbside garbage collection service, and would not be impacted by the proposed collection options. •Niagara Regional Housing did not support of EOW garbage collection, or mandatory use of clear bags for garbage Waste Management Advisory Committee •Supported all proposed options Page 446 of 613 Targeted Stakeholder Consultation Stakeholders Consultation Activities and Comment •Business Improvement Associations •Chambers of Commerce •Niagara Industrial Association •Venture Niagara •15 meetings held in Aug. / Sept. •2 follow-up emails requesting feedback and letters sent for distribution to members with proposed options, link to survey, open house/community booth info etc. •Six organizations provided comment, of which only Pelham Business Association supported the proposed DBA options •Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) •Met with Tourism Niagara on behalf of 5 DMOs in Sept. •Letter -Sept. 18 for each tourism agency describing proposed options, audit data, info about survey and public events etc. •Follow-up email with link to project website, survey and request for feedback •No comment receivedPage 447 of 613 Broad Based Stakeholder Consultation Medium Outreach Description Letters •1,369 businesses inside Designated Business Areas (DBAs); 1,980 businesses outside DBAs; 125 multi-residential properties Oct 22 •Contained proposed options, link to survey, open house/community booth info and invitation to contact Region Web •Project webpage on Niagara Region website and webpage banner Oct 23 to Nov 30 •LAM provided with P&E for websites that had link to project webpage Oct 22 Social Media •Facebook paid advertisement with link to project webpage; Twitter post on Niagara Region Twitter with link to project webpage; Facebook posts with details Oct 25 -Nov 28 Page 448 of 613 Broad Based Stakeholder Consultation Medium Outreach Description Newspaper: Print Ads Invitation to participate in stakeholder consultation with link to project webpage •Niagara This Week Oct 25, Nov 1,8,15,22 •St. Catharines Standard Oct 27, Nov 10 •Welland Tribune,Niagara Falls Review Nov 3 •News Now Nov 15, Nov 22 Newspaper:Online Ads (same content as print ads) •24 hour ad -St. Catharines Standard, Welland Tribune, N.F.

Conclusion/Next Steps Page 456 of 613 Let’s Talk Waste Niagara Stakeholder Consultation Results Page 457 of 613 Metroline has completed data collection using four different surveys with residents and businesses receiving curbside waste collection from Niagara Region: A random telephone survey of 1,253 residents of low density properties An online survey of 6,639 residents in low density properties An online survey of 38 residents in multi-residential properties An online survey of 166 businesses in the IC&I and mixed use sectors 2 Introduction Page 458 of 613 The fieldwork for this research took place between October 23, 2018 and December 7, 2018 Online surveys were open from October 23 to November 30, 2018 Telephone surveys took place between November 8 and December 7, 2018. This survey used listed landline numbers and random cellular numbers to reach the broadest cross-section possible. Residents were also provided an opportunity to complete the survey on pen and paper, if they wished, and return it to Niagara Region. A small number of surveys were received and incorporated. 3 Research Methodology Page 459 of 613 Conclusions/Key Insights 6Page 460 of 613 Municipality Population Proportion Telephone survey Online residential Multi- Residential Business Fort Erie 7.9%84 452 1 24 Grimsby 5.4%75 347 4 12 Lincoln 4.6%75 298 4 5 Niagara Falls 18.8%183 1,312 4 33 Niagara-on-the-Lake 4.2%67 274 --4 Pelham 3.5%73 329 2 5 Port Colborne 5.2%75 318 1 14 St. Catharines 30.3%279 2,053 18 47 Thorold 4.2%74 293 1 5 Wainfleet 1.6%75 81 --3 Welland 11.7%119 727 3 11 West Lincoln 2.7%74 155 --3 Total 100%1,253 6,639 38 166 7 Consultation Included All Municipalities Page 461 of 613 Where located?

Among those who have participated, most only participate about once a year. In the online survey, it was similar, with 75% not participating. Eliminating the curbside appliances/scrap metal collection program would have some impact on about 1 in 5 households in Niagara region. 16% of households in the telephone survey, and 22% in the online survey feel there would be at least some impact. Conclusion –Given the relatively low participation and impact, it seems this program could be eliminated, providing residents continue to have alternatives of scrap haulers or taking an item to a Regional drop-off depot. 10 Conclusions/Key Insights Appliances/Scrap Metal Collection Option –Low Density Residential Big/some impact, 16% Might be, 9% Little/no impact, 75% Impact of stopping appliances/scrap metal collection (Residential) (Base –Full Sample)Page 464 of 613 In the telephone survey, 29% of households participate in large item collection at least once a year, on average. In the online survey, 44% of households are participating. Only 6% of residents in the telephone survey, and 14% in the online survey, feel a change to limit the number of items to four per collection would have an impact on their household. The vast majority stated there would be little to no impact to them (94% of households in telephone survey, 87% of households in the online survey). Conclusion -Making a change to the large item collection so that a maximum of four items per collection can be put out will not unduly impact Niagara region residents. 11 Conclusions/Key Insights Large Item Collection Option –Low Density Residential Big/some impact, 6% Might be, 5% Little/no impact, 89% Impact of stopping bulky/large item collection (Residential) (Base –Full Sample)Page 465 of 613 Household support for the mandatory use of clear bags in the telephone survey was surprisingly a fairly even split. 48% would support (definitely or probably), and 52% do not support. It’s a different picture when looking at the sentiment expressed in the online survey. 27% would support, and 73% oppose. 12 Conclusions/Key Insights Clear Garbage Bag Option (Residential) Support, 48% Oppose, 52% Clear Garbage Bags (Residential) (Base –Full Sample) “I use grocery bags for household garbage and put directly into garbage can. Seems like a waste and I don’t want to purchase bags…” “I do not need anyone to see what I put in garbage. Sewer pipes are not clear plastic because nobody needs to see that either…”Page 466 of 613 In total, we heard from 166 businesses in Niagara region. 40% would support the idea of clear bags, 60% would oppose. 13 Conclusions/Key Insights Clear Garbage Bag Option (Businesses) Support, 40% Oppose, 60% Clear Garbage Bags (Business) (Base –Full Sample) “We don't need more government control like the GARBAGE POLICE. Leave some decisions to the citizens and not make this into a Communist Society…” “I cannot train my tenants to do this properly. The landlord tenant act does not give me any tools to make them comply…” “Black and green bags make it too easy for people to be lazy and not separate a lot of items that likely never need to end up in a landfill. It's encouraging mindfulness when putting your garbage out at the curb…”Page 467 of 613 Conclusions/Key Insights Why Support/Oppose Clear Garbage Bags? 14 Residential Supporters feel this would help keep unwanted items from the landfill (51%) and encourage people to recycle and use Green Bins (48%) Those opposed don’t like the invasion of privacy (40%), and tied to that, they don’t want neighbours seeing their garbage (24%). They don’t feel Niagara Region needs ‘garbage police’ (8%). Business Supporters here also feel it would keep unwanted items from the landfill (30%). They see that it would be safer for the collectors (10%), but only 8% feel it would encourage businesses to recycle/use Green Bins/Carts Those opposed are concerned about their privacy (36%) and don’t see a need for ‘garbage police’ (11%) Conclusion: While there is some support for the mandatory use of clear bags, those opposed are quite vocal about their concerns and it could become an issue. We do not recommend making clear garbage bags mandatory.Page 468 of 613 15 Conclusions/Key Insights Every-Other-Week Garbage Collection Option (Residential) 48% of residents in the telephone survey say there would be at least some impact to them in a change to Every-Other-Week (EOW) garbage collection. Typically these are households of at least three people. Conclusion: Residents are fairly evenly split on how EOW garbage collection would impact their household. In Waterloo Region, the impact ratio was higher for the telephone survey and they elected to begin EOW garbage collection, and with a similar score in Hamilton, council elected not to proceed.

There would be significantly more perceived impact to their operation in a switch to EOW garbage collection. Conclusion: Businesses outside DBA zones have a perceived need to continue having weekly pickup, but they are not fully utilizing the diversion programs. 16 Conclusions/Key Insights Every-Other-Week Garbage Collection Option (Business) Total (n=86) ICI (n=35) MU (n=51) A big impact 52%43%66% Some impact 22%26%17% Might or might not be an impact 8%10%6% Not much of an impact 8%10%6% No impact 9%12%6% Impact Ratio (Big/Some vs. Not much/no impact) +57%+47%+71%Page 470 of 613 •Slight majority could manage a reduction to four garbage bags/containers (58%) •Less than half feel there would be a significant impact on their business/property IC&I and MU Inside DBA Container Limits •We had a small sample, but they were on the same page. •Reducing frequency of collection by one day per week would be a challenge for these businesses IC&I and MU Inside DBA Enhanced Collection Frequency •Only one-third could manage reducing from six (6) to four (4) •60% feel there would be an impact on their businessMU Outside DBA Container Limits •Less than 40% could manage every-other-week collection •About three-quarters (74%) say their business/property will be impacted by this change IC&I and MU Outside DBA every- other-week garbage collection •Only 40% supported this option and those opposed are definitely negative and vocal Mandatory clear garbage bag option 17 Reviewing the Options Business Page 471 of 613 18 Reviewing the Options Residential •Not widely used, will not cause a big impact on households, and alternative options exist Scrap metal/appliances option •Not widely used, and is being reduced not removed, will not cause a big impact on household Bulky/large items option •There is some support, but those opposed are quite concerned about privacy and a ‘big brother’ or ‘garbage police’ mentality Mandatory clear garbage bag option •Support from residential is mixed, and impacts mostly larger families.

(Full sample) Figure 1.1a – Importance of waste diversion by survey type Diverting waste is important to the vast majority of residents in Niagara Region. In total, 94% of those in the telephone survey said it is ‘important’ to them, with 72% saying “very” important, and 22% saying “somewhat” important. Only 4% told us it was “not important”, or they “don’t know”. Residents in the online survey scored the importance slightly lower, but even still 87% find waste diversion important. Figure 1.1b 1– Importance of waste diversion by survey type (Hamilton) This question was asked in Hamilton in 2016, and the results were similar to what Niagara Region residents have said in this survey. Residents in both surveys feel that waste diversion is important, but in the random telephone survey are more likely to say it is “very” important. 1 City of Hamilton Waste Management Services Public Engagement Survey – Metroline Research Group, 2016 Telephone (n=1,253) Online (n=6,639) Very important 72% 52% Somewhat important 22% 35% Not very important 3% 8% Not important at all 2% 3% Don’t know 1% 2% Hamilton Waste Survey Telephone (n=800) Online (n=1,468) Very important 75% 60% Somewhat important 21% 30% Not very important 2% 6% Not important at all 1% 3% Don’t know 1% 1% Page 475 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 4 Where relevant, this report will indicate statistically significant differences by sub -groups for the random telephone survey. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Women (76%) are more likely to say reducing the amount of garbage sent for disposal is “very” important than men (68%). Those 65+ years (76%) and those 45-64 years (73%) are more likely to find it “very” important than those 18 -44 years (63%). Those participating in the organics collection program (74%) are more likely to find it “very ” important than those who are not (67%). Those who support clear bags (80%) more likely to find it “very” important than those who do not (65%). Those who could manage every-other-week (EOW) garbage collection (80%) are more likely to find it “very” important than those who would continue to need/want weekly collection (64%).

Primarily though this difference is between “very” and “somewhat” important. Overall, the sentiment of important (very/somewhat) vs. not important (not very/not important/don’t know) is pretty similar. At least 9 in 10 residents for all municipalities find diverting waste to be ‘important’. Page 476 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 5 1.2 Garbage Limits Q12 - Niagara Region allows for one bag/container of garbage to be put out per week. Dimensions of the container cannot exceed three feet high by two feet wide (91cm by 61cm) and must not weight more than 50 pounds. Which of the following best describes yo ur situation in an average week? (Full Sample) Figure 1.2a – Typical garbage set out by survey type Residents were pretty much evenly split about how much garbage they put out at the curb in an average week. On one side is the group (53% combined) who put out the maximum one bag (42%) and those who need more than one bag (11%). On the other side (47% combined) is the group who doesn’t have a full bag (34%) or sometimes can afford to skip a week (13%). Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those 18-44 years are more likely to put out a full bag or more (72%) than those 45-64 years (50%) and those 65+ years (45%). Those living in households of three or more people are more likely (73%) to put out a full bag or more than those in households of two people (41%) and those in single person households (30%). Those with a household member using diapers are more likely to put out a full bag or more (87%) than those without (51%). Those who use seven or more bag tags a year are more likely to put out a full bag or more (91%) than those who use 1-6 tags (61%) and those use don’t use any tags in an average year (42%). Those who do not participate in the organics program are more likely to put out a full bag or more (63%) than those who participate (49%). Those who would need to continue weekly garbage collection are more likely to put out a full bag or more (7 0%) than those who could manage EOW (33%). Telephone (n=1,253) Online (n=6,639) We put out more than one garbage bag/container 11% 9% We put out one full garbage bag/container 42% 49% On a weekly basis, our garbage bag/container is not completely full 34% 29% Some weeks, we do not have enough to put out the garbage bag/container 13% 13% Page 477 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 6 Figure 1.2b – Typical garbage set out by municipality (Random telephone survey) Total (n=1,253) Fort Erie Grimsby Lincoln Niag.

The re are a few trends in the data, however these could potentially be a result of the size of the households interviewed for the study rather than something unique to the municipalities : Residents of Thorold (60%), Welland (60%) and Niagara Falls (57%) are slightly higher in putting out one bag or more per collection. Residents of Lincoln (43%) and Pelham (44%) and Grimsby (46%) are slightly lower in putting out one bag or more per collection. 1.3 Garbage Tags Q13 - How many tags for additional garbage bags does your household buy and use in an average year, if any? (Full Sample) Figure 1.3a – Garbage tags used by survey type About two-thirds of the community (65%) told us they do not buy/use any garbage tags in the course of an average year. About one-third (35%) will use a garbage tag at least once a year on average, between those buying and using one to six tags (24%), and those using seven or more tags (11%). (Random telephone survey) Telephone (n=1,253) Online (6,639) None 65% 49% 1-6 24% 32% 7+ 11% 19% Page 478 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 7 Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Household size was the biggest determinant in using garbage tags. About half of those (48%) of household with three or more people require at least one tag a year. 20% of households with three or more people use seven or more tags a year.

(Full sample) Figure 1.4a – Waste collection program participation by survey type Virtually all households in Niagara Region are participating in the recycling program (99%/99%). About 7 in 10 households say they participate in the organics collection program. The participation level is virtually the same between the random telephone survey and the online survey (71%/72%). Participation in leaf/yard waste collection is next (63%/82%), and the brush collection in spring and fall (52%/63%). Participation in both the appliances/scrap metal collection (26%/27%), and the bulky/large item collection (35%/46%) is lower. 99% 71% 26% 35% 63% 50% 99% 72% 27% 46% 81% 63% Recycling - Blue and/or Grey Box Organics - Green Bin Appliances/scrap metal Bulky/large items Leaf/Yard waste Brush in spring/fall Waste Collection Participation Telephone Online Page 481 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 10 Figure 1.3b 2– Waste collection program participation by survey type (Hamilton) The percentages were different, but we found a similar sentiment/pattern in Hamilton in 2016. Virtually all participate in recycling, the organics collection and yard waste collection (which included brush in this survey) were next, and the bulky/large item collection (which includes scrap metal/appliances) had the lowest participation. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Participate in Organics/Green Bin collection Those 65+ years (77%) and 45-64 years (73%) are more likely to participate than those 18-44 years (55%). Those in a single person household (72%) and dual person household (74%) are more likely to participate than those in a household of three or more people (66%). Those with no household members using diapers (72%) are more likely to participate than those with a household member in diapers (50%). Those who can afford to skip a weekly collection (81%), and those who put out a garbage bag every week that isn’t full (76%) are more likely to participate than those who put out a full bag every week (68%) or those who put out more than one bag (52%). Those who can manage every-other-week collection (77%) are more likely to participate than those who need to continue having their garbage collected every week (66%). Participate in bulky/large item collection Those in households of three or more (37%) and two people (35%) are more likely to participate than those in single person households (28%). Those who use seven or more bag tags per year (45%) or 1-6 bag tags (44%) are more likely to participate than those who do not use bag tags in an average year (30%). 2 City of Hamilton Waste Management Services Public Engagement Survey – Metroline Research Group, 2016 Hamilton Waste Survey Telephone (n=800) Online (n=1,468) Blue Box recycling 99% 99% Organics/Green Bin 83% 84% Yard waste 80% 88% Bulky/large item collection 45% 55% Page 482 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 11 Participate in leaf/yard waste pickup Those who could manage garbage collection every-other-week are more likely to participate (67%) than those who need to continue having garbage picked up weekly (61%).

Page 483 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 12 1.5 Recycling Participation 1.5.1 Blue Boxes Q22 - Blue Box recycling includes containers that are made of plastic, metals, glass or styrofoam. How many Blue Boxes does your h ousehold put out at the curb in an average week? (Base – Converted to full sample) Figure 1.5.1a – Number of Blue Boxes by survey type Virtually all residents (99%) of Niagara Region are participating in the recycling program. 97% of residents in the telephone survey are putting out at least one blue box per week. About 1 in 5 residents puts out two or more blue boxes per week. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Household size was a primary factor in the number of blue boxes. Households of three or more people are most likely to be p utting out two or more boxes (34%), compared to two person households (9%) and single person households (3%). Those 18-44 years (29%) are most likely to be putting out two or more boxes, compared to those 45 -64 years (23%) and those 65+ years (7%). Those buying the most (7+) garbage tags per year are also most likely to put out 2+ blue boxes (42%), compared to those who buy 1-6 tags (20%), and those who do not use garbage tags (15%). Those who would need to continue having waste collected weekly are most likely to be putting out two or more blue boxes (22%), compared to those who could manage every-other-week collection (16%).

Niagara-on-the-Lake was lowest, but even there it was 93% of households. 1.5.2 Grey Boxes Q24 – Grey Box recycling includes items such as paper, cardboard, cereal boxes, tissue boxes, etc., and bundled plastic bags. How many Grey Boxes does your household put out at the curb in an average week? (Base – Converted to full sample) Figure 1.5.2a – Number of Grey Boxes by survey type Almost all Niagara residents are participating in the grey box recycling program as well. Slightly fewer (92%) than the blue box (99%) participation. 92% of Niagara low-density households put out at least one grey box per week on average. Residents are less than half as likely (8%) to put out two or more grey boxes than blue boxes (19%).

Page 486 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 15 1.6 Green Bin/Organics Participation Q26 – Green Bin organics program includes food waste, paper napkins/towels/bags, paper take-out trays/egg cartons, coffee grounds/filters & tea bags. How many Green Bins or containers marked as organics does your household put out at the curb in an average week? (Base – Converted to full sample) Figure 1.6a – Number of Green Bins by survey type About 7 in 10 (71%) of Niagara Region residents told us they are participating in the organics collection program. That number dropped slightly when looking at green bins in an average month, to 69%. 68% of residents in the telephone survey told us they put out at lea st one green bin per week. In this particular question, the finding of the online survey was similar, where 70% told us they are putting out one green bin per week on average. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those 65+ years (73%) and 45-64 years (70%) are more likely to put out at least one green bin per week than those 18-44 years (53%). Those using diapers for someone in their household (49%) are less likely to put out at least one green bin per week than those with no diapers in their household (69%). Those who do not use any garbage tags in an average year (68%) and those who use 1-6 garbage tags per year (70%) are more likely to put out at least one green bin per week than those who use 7+ garbage tags per year (57%). Those who would need to continue having waste collected weekly (62%) are less likely to put out one or more green bins per week compared to those who could manage every-other-week collection (73%). Those who feel there would be little to no impact to their household with every -other-week collection (72%) are more likely to be putting out at least one green bin per week than those who feel every-other-week would have at least some impact (62%).

(Base – Not participating) Figure 1.6.1a – Why not participating in Green Bin/Organics program? Just under a third (31%) of those not participating in the Green Bin/Organics program told us they are doing their own composting/vermiposting. “We have a farm and dispose of it in our manure pile…” The next biggest barrier to participating in the Green Bin/Organics program is a concern about smells/odours. 13% of those not participating in this program indicated they do not participate because of a worry about the smell. “It smells awful. We freeze organic waste throughout the week and dispose with the trash on garbage day. You can always tell when someone uses the green organics bin as soon as you walk into their house. It isn't practical…” Lack of motivation was third, with people telling us that separating the waste was inconve nient or extra work for them (11%). “Waste of time separating items and keeping another bin full of stinking food around for rodents and insects to find…” 31% 13% 11% 10% 9% 9% 8% 6% 5% 3% 11% Composting/vermiposting Smell/Odour Inconvenient/extra work Worried about bugs/maggots/animals Have a garburator Not interested in sorting it out Don't have enough waste to be worth it Messy Bin breaks, don't have one Don't have room to store Don't know Why not participating in Green Bin/Organics program? (Telephone survey, n=369)Page 489 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 18 The other major barrier is a concern about bugs/maggots/animals in and around the green bin (10%). “Many animals in my neighbourhood makes it difficult to keep the organics from being eaten. I have the same problem with my regular garbage container…” The ‘ick’ factor was expressed as well, with 6% talking about the process being messy and 9% not being interested in sorting out the waste for the Green Bin. “I find it gross and disgusting…” “Because I do not have very much for the green bin and find it disgusting to deal with in the summer…” Page 490 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 19 Page 491 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 20 1.7 Appliances/Scrap Metal Participation 1.7.1 Put out at the curb Q29 - How many times per year would you say your household puts out appliances or scrap metal at the curb for collection? (Base –Converted to full sample) Figure 1.7a – Appliance/Scrap Metal participation by survey type 4 in 5 households in Niagara Region (80%) told us they do not participate in the appliances/scrap metal collection program. Among those who have participated, at most is was about once a year. The results of the online survey are similar in this case, with 75% not participating in the program. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those 18-44 years (21%) and those 45-64 years (22%) are more likely than those 65+ years (15%) to participate in the program at least once a year on average. Those with households of three or more people (23%) and households of two people (20%) are more likely than those in single p erson households (13%) to participate in the program at least once a year on average. Those who use 7+ garbage tags per year (27%) and those who use 1-6 garbage tags per year (25%) are more likely than those who do not use garbage tags (17%) to participate in the program at least once a year on average.

(Base – Participate at least once a year on average) Figure 1.7.2a – Appliance/Scrap Metal pick up type by survey type Those who participate in the appliances/scrap metal program at least once a year on average were asked how they arrange for pick up. Three-quarters (74%) of program participants told us they schedule a pick up with Niagara Region, and one-quarter (26%) will simply put the item at the curb. The online survey respondents felt similarly (77% scheduled, 23% leave at curb). Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Women (81%) were more likely than men (65%) to say they scheduled a pick up. Those 65+ years (88%) were more likely to have scheduled a pick up than those 45-64 years (72%) or those 18-44 years (64%).

How many times per year would you say your household puts out items like this out at the curb for collection? (Base – Converted to full sample) Figure 1.8a – Bulky/Large Item collection by survey type More households (29%) do participate in bulky/large item collection compared to the scrap metal/appliances collection (20%). In total, 29% of households told us they participate at least once a year, with the majority (19%) of households participating once a year, and 10% of households participating two or more times a year on average. Those in the online survey told us they are participating more often. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those in households of three or more are more likely to participate at least once a year (33%), compared to households of two people (28%), or single person households (19%). Those who use 7+ garbage tags per year (43%) are more likely to participate at least once a year (43%), compared to those who use 1-6 garbage tags per year (38%) and those who do not use garbage tags (23%).

Adopting some or all of these opt9ions would help reduce the amount of waste going t o disposal, and limit future costs to businesses and taxpayers. The purpose of this survey is to receive feedback from residents on the possible collection options and to help Regional staff understand resident’s feelings about each option. Page 496 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 25 2.1 Bulky/Large Item Collection Q31 - The first option is related to large or bulky item pick up, such as carpet or furniture. The change would be to limit the number of large/bulky items collected to a maximum of four per week. In 2018, 92% of the bookings for large or bulky item pick up wer e for four items or less. If Niagara Region was to make this change, what would be the impact on your household? (Base – Full sample) Figure 2.1a – Change to Bulky/Large Item collection, impact by survey type Making a change to the bulky/large item collection so that a maximum of four items per collection can be put out will not unduly impact Niagara region residents. 6% of residents in the telephone survey, and 14% in the online survey feel this change would have an impact on their household. The vast majority told us there would be little to no impact to them (94% of households in telephone survey, 87% of households in the online survey). Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those in households of three or more (8%) are slightly more likely to feel impacted, compared to households of two people (5%) and single person households (4%).

Curre ntly, residents can go online and schedule a pick up of items at their home. Only 6% of Niagara households are using the curbside collection of appliances and scrap metal service. Also, as much as 60% of these items that are being put out have already been removed by the time crews arrive to pick them up. There would continue to be an opportunity for residents to take the items to a regional drop-off depot, at no charge, or have it picked up by private scrap metal haulers. If Niagara Region was to make this change, what would be the impact on your household? (Base – Full sample) Figure 2.2a – Change to appliance/scrap metal collection, by survey type Dropping/stopping the appliance/scrap metal collection program would have some impact on about 1 in 5 households in Niagara region. 17% of households in the telephone survey, and 22% in the online survey feel there would be at least some impact. 83% of households in the telephone survey, and 78% of the households in the online survey, feel there would be little to no impact on their household. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those who use 7+ garbage tags per year (23%) are most likely to feel there would be an impact on their household, compared to those who use 1-6 garbage tags per year (18%) and those who do not use garbage tags (14%).

Some municipalities in Canada have already ma de this change. The cost for the clear bags would be about the same as green/black garbage bags. Clear garbage bags wil l make it easier to see recyclable or organic material that should be placed in the Blue/Grey Box or Green Bin or Hazardous Waste items that should b e disposed of safely. A smaller opaque bag, such as a grocery bag, can be placed inside the clear garbage bag for disposing of sensitive or personal items. Would you support a switch to clear garbage bags? (Full Sample) Figure 2.3.1a – Support for mandatory clear garbage bags by survey type Household support for the mandatory use of clear bags in the telephone survey was surprisingly a fairly even split. 48% would support (definitely or probably), and 52% do not support. It’s a different picture when looking at the sentiment expressed in the online survey. 27% would support, and 73% oppose. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those who would need to continue to have their garbage picked up weekly are more likely to support the use of clear bags (57%) than those who could manage every-other-week collection (40%). 26% 22% 14% 14% 24% 13% 14% 11% 16% 46% Definitely would support Probably would support Might or might not support Probably would not support Definitely would not support Support for change to mandatory clear bags Telephone Online Page 501 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 30 Figure 2.3.1b – Support for mandatory clear garbage bags by municipality Total (n=1,253) Fort Erie Grimsby Lincoln Niag.

I also think having them curbside looks gross vs a black garbage bag. That being said I can understand why this idea could potentially reduce the amount of unacceptable items…” “I just don't buy garbage bags so that would be an extra expense for us. Otherwise I am on board, we have nothing to hide...” “Taking the trouble to separately sort embarrassing or secure sensitive material is annoying…” “Clear bags are more expensive for one. The world doesn't need to see my garbage. Are you going to refuse pick up if I have recyclables in my trash? What about recycling that can't be cleaned like pizza boxes? Teaching what can be recycled and what can't would be far better…” “If it becomes mandatory I will of course comply but personal items aside, I am not a fan of having my neighbours being able to see what I purchase, eat or throw out. Items come into my house concealed in shopping bags and that privacy with them going out is just as important to me…” Page 503 of 613 Niagara Region Waste Collection – December, 2018 Page 32 2.4 Every Other Week Garbage Collection 2.4.1 Managing every-other-week collection Q35 – In Niagara Region an average of 50% of every garbage bag is food waste. A fourth option under consideration, that is already in practice in many other municipalities which encourages residents to use their Green Bin, is to pick up garbage every -other-week, but continue to collect unlimited Blue/Grey Boxes and Green Bins every week. There would be no change or reduction in the garbage container limit, but there would be less frequent pickup. With collection every-other-week, you would be allowed two garbage bags/containers. Based on your household’s waste practices, would you be able to manage? (Full Sample) Figure 2.4.1a – Ability to manage Every Other Week garbage collection by survey type Residents were split on their feelings about garbage collection every-other- week, with slightly more leaning towards continuing their weekly collection. 46% of the telephone survey, and 41% of those in the online survey could manage every-other-week collection.

(Full Sample) Figure 2.4.1a – Impact of Every Other Week garbage collection (Telephone) In the telephone survey, just under half of residents (48%) feel there would be at least “some” impact on their household if Niagara Region switched to every-other- week garbage collection (while continuing to collect blue/grey boxes and green bins weekly). A slight majority (52%) feel there would be little to no impact to their household. Respondent Sub-Segment Findings (Telephone) Those in households of three or more (62%) are more likely to say there would be a big/some impact, compared to households of two people (40%) and single person households (33%).

(Base - Asked of those who say there would be a big/some impact) Figure 2.4.3a – Why big/some impact of EOW collection? (Telephone) Those who feel there would be a “big impact” or “some impact” were asked for the primary reasons why (unaided, this list was not provided). The biggest barrier is the smell, especially in the summer time (63%), significantly higher than all other mentions. Keeping animals out of the garbage was the second barrier, at 39%. Finding space to store the garbage for the extra week was third, at 35%. “The stench would be absolutely sickening in the summer, and it would also be a big draw for flies and rats and we are overrun with them already - both of which could be a health issue. Instead of punishing those of us that recycle and try to keep garbage at a minimum try increasing the cost of the bag tags substantially - if the price is high enough they'll learn to recycle…” “We produce a full green bin and full garbage every week for a family of 4. Bi-weekly garbage would result in us having 2 bags of garbage bi-weekly. We do not have storage space for this extra bag. We already have a mice problem in our neighbourhood and we are concerned that it would increase if we are keeping bags of garbage for longer. Our garbage contains soiled diapers and holding them longer would greatly increase odour issues…” “Where am I supposed to keep this garbage for an extra week.

(Full Sample) Figure 2.5a – Choice between EOW collection and/or clear garbage bags by survey type In the telephone survey, residents could not see the option for “neither”, and our interviewers worked to force a choice from the other three. In the online survey, this was visible after the first day or two of fieldwork, and as a result was selected more often. In the telephone survey, between the two, there was a slight preference for clear garbage bags over every-other-week, but not dramatically so. In the online survey, residents who made a choice decided on every-other-week collection over clear bags by a margin of about 2:1.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2019-05 Council Discretionary Spending RECOMMENDATION Fee Waivers That Council adopt the proposed Fee Waiver Policy with respect to the City’s actions regarding waiving of fees. Fundraising Events/Functions or Donations That Council approve the proposed by-law changing the Councillor Expense Allowance for the purchase of tickets for events/functions or donations supporting local or national charities or non-profit organizations from $500.00 to $1,000.00 per Councillor. Grants That Council continue their position of not entertaining new grants or sponsorships and the grants outlined in this report be referred to the 2019 operating budget deliberations. BACKGROUND The 2018 operating budget contains $28,000 for Council discretionary spending, fee waivers, grants and sponsorships and $2,700 for Councillor Allowance ($300 per Councillor). Tables 1 and 2 (attached) compile Council discretionary spending into two categories based on a review of the minutes of the 2018 Council meetings. Table 1 indicates Council authorized 17 fundraising events/functions or donations throughout 2018 for a total of $15,150. Table 2 indicates Council authorized 13 requests for fee waivers or use of City resources for a total of $33,143. Total Council discretionary spending in 2018 is equal to $48,293 which is over budget by $17,593. Page 512 of 613 2 F-2019-05 February 12, 2019 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Fee Waivers Currently the process for waiving fees is that a user group sends through communication to the Clerk’s office to be placed on the agenda for the consideration of Council. In many instances the request does not include the actual dollar figure that Council is being asked to consider waiving. In the interest of consistency and clarity, there is certain merit in establishing a common approach to deal with fee waivers in the City. This will help ensure that Council has all of the necessary information to make an informed decision. Attachment 3 contains a proposed Fee Waiver Policy (700.22), some highlights of which are included below. The City of Niagara Falls is committed to supporting volunteer, community-based organizations in order to maintain a quality of life for its residents. This policy aims to protect the City’s assets, interests, goals, facilities, programs and services while also ensuring that festivals and events grow and prosper, positively impacting the quality of life of Niagara Falls residents. The financial scope of this policy is limited to the Council approved budgetary amount for the corresponding year. The City of Niagara Falls will waive fees to eligible applicants to help offset the fee(s) that would have been charged by the City related to the delivery or presentation of a festival or event. Examples of City fees that can be waived include, but are not limited to: Park permit fees Rental of City Property Road Closure Fees Staffing costs outside normal operations Eligible groups must be not-for-profit organizations which demonstrate a degree of community support and representation including, but not limited to: Registered charities Arts and culture organizations Athletic and social clubs Service clubs Neighbourhood groups and organizations, School associations Page 513 of 613 3 F-2019-05 February 12, 2019 Eligible Activities include, but are not limited to programs, services, festivals or events that are of a general benefit to the community. Attachment 4 is a proposed Fee Waiver Application which will be required to be completed by the organization. Applications will be submitted through the Clerk’s office and distributed to the appropriate department. If this policy is approved, Staff will notify all of the groups that have previously requested fee waivers in 2018 informing them of the new application process. Any new requests that come through Clerks will be given a copy of the policy and an application to fill out. Fundraising Functions/Events and Donations Per Table 1, Council approved a total of $15,150 in fundraising functions/events and donations during the 2018 year. The vast majority of these requests were for the purchase of tables or tickets to fundraising events. Many of these tickets for events were unallocated for a variety of reasons such as multiple events on one night or conflicting Council schedules. Staff does not believe that this is a reasonable approach for either Council or the fundraising requestor. Staff is recommending a new approach to deal with such events whereby by-law 2002-057 be repealed and replaced with the proposed by-law on today’s agenda. Notable changes to the by-law include amending the current $500.00 per Councillor per year to $1,000.00 per Councillor per year and adding in donations as a permitted use of the Councillor Expense Allowance. If approved, Staff would like to see the following guidelines would take effect: 1. The City would no longer entertain requests for fundraising functions/events at Council, but instead information would be provided to all Councillors through the Clerk’s Office so that each Councillor can choose whether or not they wish to purchase a ticket or give a donation through their Councillor Expense Allowance. 2. Any Councillor wishing to contribute to the event either through a ticket purchase or donation will do so by contacting the Mayor’s Office who will keep a running total of all requests per Councillor. 3. Groups wishing to promote their event through the City can contact the Mayor’s Office and request that their event be added to the Community events calendar on the City’s website. Page 514 of 613 4 F-2019-05 February 12, 2019 Grants The following grants are currently included in the 2019 proposed budget: Organization Name Annual Grant ($) One Foundation 50,000 Project Share 298,400 Women’s Place of South Niagara 19,350 YWCA 51,333 Stamford Lion’s Club 6,000 Total $425,083 These grant requests will be considered during the 2019 operating budget discussion. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Fee Waivers Staff has completed a review of 2018 and the total amount of Fee Waivers approved during 2018 as identified on Table 2 was $33,143. Please note some requests approved in 2017 that are not included in the below chart apply to the 2018 year, such as the Women’s Place Book Riot Fee Waiver of $6,423.80 for their event in 2018. Based on that review, Staff is recommending a provision of $40,000 be made in the 2019 operating budget for fee waivers to accommodate similar requests that we anticipate. Staff will prepare a report to Council on each request attaching the application for Council’s review. The report will include an update on the amount of funding remaining in the budget. This will allow Council an opportunity to not only review the current request, but also provide an opportunity for Staff to provide an ongoing update of available funds. Fundraising Functions/Events or Donations While by-law 2002-057 specified a $500.00 per Councillor Expense Allowance, current practice has been that Councillors have been authorized $300.00 per Councillor per year. Staff is recommending an increase of $6,300 in the budget for Councillor Expense Allowance increasing the budget from $2,700 to $9,000. Page 515 of 613 5 F-2019-05 February 12, 2019 CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This report is consistent with the following Council strategic commitments: 1. To be financially responsible to the residents of Niagara Falls by practicing prudent fiscal management of existing resources, and by making sound long-term choices that allow core City programs and services to be sustainable now and into the future. 2. To be efficient and effective in our delivery of municipal services and use of resources, and accountable to our citizens and stakeholders. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Page 525 of 613 HR-2019-01 February 12, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources SUBJECT: HR-2019-01 Council Committee Remuneration RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council receives the following information regarding the remuneration of committees and boards of City Council. . 2) That Council affirm By-Law 99-22 by increasing the salaries of the Mayor and Council by a similar percentage to the non-union staff, subject to annual budget approval and unless otherwise directed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the years, City Council members have participated in various local boards and Committees of Council. In addition, Council has been asked to participate and volunteer on various committees within the community. In most cases, the participation in these community committees is without compensation. A few local boards do provide some compensation to appointed members of Council. This report outlines the compensation that Council receives for local boards and committees. In this report, we also compare various practices within the Niagara Region. BACKGROUND In addition to their current base salary of $25,090 per annum for City Council and $110,140 per annum for the Mayor, all members of City Council receive $4,800 per annum for board membership on the Niagara Falls Hydro Holding Corporation. In addition, City Council board members appointed to the Niagara Parks Commission can receive a stipend of $67.50 per meeting and all Mayors in the Region are members of Niagara Regional Council and receive $32,013 per annum. Page 526 of 613 Unlike some other municipalities, the City of Niagara Falls does not have officially delegated committees of Council other than the “committee of the whole”. The Niagara Falls Corporate Services Committee was dissolved a few years ago. Some municipalities within the Region have Committees of Council for Finance, Human Resources, etc. whereby the Chairs of such committees receive stipends of approximately $2,000 per annum. Members of St. Catharine’s City Council receive payment for membership on their Hydro board. Upon review, the City of Niagara Falls City Councillors participates in many different community committees. This committee work is volunteered without compensation and includes the Culture Committee, Recreation Committee, Niagara District Airport Commission, Niagara Falls Illumination Board, Winter Festival of Lights, Niagara Falls Tourism, Park in the City, Committee of Adjustment, Property Standards Committee, Seniors Advisory Committee, Municipal Heritage Committee, Niagara Falls Library Board, Transportation Steering Committee, Adult Entertainment Appeal Committee, Convention Centre Board, Mayors Youth Advisory Committee, Project SHARE, Downtown Business Improvement Board, Clifton Hill Business Improvement Board, Lundy’s Lane Business Improvement Board, Victoria Centre Business Improvement Board, Fallsview Business Improvement Board, Linking Niagara Transit Committee, etc. With respect to the base salaries of Niagara Falls City Councillors, changes to the Federal Income Tax Act in 2019 officially eliminated the 1/3 tax-fee allowance on income for Council members. As a result of HR-2017-01, the gross salaries of the Mayor and City Council members were adjusted to maintain the same “after-tax” net income. The base salaries of Council appear to be largely similar and comparable to those within the Niagara Region. The City of Niagara Falls Council has adopted a past practice to align annual salary adjustments with non-unionized staff, subject to budget approval. This practice is in accordance with By-Law #99-22. The exception to this practice occurred from 2009-2014, where Council moved to freeze the salaries of the Mayor and City Councillors as a measure of fiscal restraint. CITY=S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed increases will be consistent with Council=s strategic priority to monitor costs and improve the efficiency, service and excellence within the organization. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE There does not appear to be a common practice of compensating Councillor Members for community committees and appointed local boards. In comparison to other municipalities in the Region and elsewhere, each community is unique in this regard, although the City of Niagara Falls does appear to have a large number of community committees involving City Council member participation. Page 527 of 613 The latest information from the Ontario Ministry of Labour indicates that the average public sector annual base wage rate percentage increase (Q3) year to date) was 1.6%. According to RBC, the consumer price index in Ontario is forecast to be 1.9% in 2019, down from the 2.3% in 2018. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS General increases for City Council will be covered and determined within the approved operational budget for 2019. However, as an example, a two percent general increase for Council members on their base salary would cost approximately $4,000 per annum.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO-2019-04 Physician Incentive Funding RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this report be received for information purposes, and that the Family Physician Recruitment budget and the proposed additional Specialist and Locum incentives be referred to 2019 budget deliberations. BACKGROUND Since 2000, the City of Niagara Falls has managed a Family Physician Recruitment program in response to the shortage of family physicians in Ontario and, in particular, in Niagara Falls. This has included: Staff support for recruitment and retention efforts as an added responsibility to the Manager of Strategic & Corporate Initiatives portfolio since 2002; Funding to assist family physicians with relocation costs, and financial assistance with the costs of furnishings and equipment, with a five-year return of service stipulation, for the establishment of a new practice; and Support of medical education and retention efforts. Niagara Falls City staff work in conjunction with the Regional Municipality of Niagara's full-time Physician Recruiter, who is the contact for family physicians interested in working in the Niagara Region, and who refers family physicians to the local communities. The Regional Recruiter is also responsible for reviewing the physician's licensure and eligibility to practice, and coordinates quarterly meetings of the municipal physician recruitment program representatives. City staff serves as the relocation resource for the physician, providing information about City of Niagara Falls practice opportunities, spousal employment, municipal incentives, schools, real estate, churches, sporting and cultural opportunities, and any other community or relocation information physician may request. Page 529 of 613 2 CAO-2019-04 February 12, 2019 The City has also built a strong relationship with McMaster University’s Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine (MGDSM) Niagara Regional Campus learners and staff. Since official opening of the Niagara Regional Campus in 2008, the City of Niagara Falls gained an invaluable resource for the future of healthcare in our community. Research has consistently shown that a significant number of new physicians end up practicing in the communities in which they were trained, and we have had success in recruiting a number of graduates since the program’s inception. Family physicians are independent professionals who have the ability to practice in any location of their choosing. Currently, there are four family doctors accepting patients in Niagara Falls. Family Physician Incentives In Ontario, the business of physician recruitment is highly competitive, with communities vying for a limited number of medical graduates each year. Many municipalities have developed lucrative recruitment packages to help attract physicians to their respective communities. Some offer: interest-free loans, housing subsidies, tuition reimbursement, rent subsidies and even turnkey office space with office staff, furniture and equipment. To remain progressive and sustainable in primary healthcare recruitment and retention, the City of Niagara Falls offers financial incentives to attract the family physicians to our community. The City of Niagara Falls currently offers an incentive of up to $50,000 for office furnishings and equipment, plus moving expenses of up to $5,000 (determined by the location where the move originates). These incentives are offered through an agreement authorized by City Council for a return of service. The agreement states that a physician must establish a full-time medical practice in the City of Niagara Falls for a period of at least five years to receive the incentive, and that all furnishings and equipment, received through the program remain the property of the City of Niagara Falls. Furnishings include items such as waiting room chairs and furniture, and office desks and chairs. Equipment includes items such as exam room tables and medical equipment, computer and telephone technology, and medical supplies. Specialist Physicians Specialists, Hospitalists and Emergency Room physicians are recruited and hired by Niagara Health according to their needs. Since 2014, there have been more than 100 Page 530 of 613 3 CAO-2019-04 February 12, 2019 specialist physician recruitments and leadership appointments at Niagara Health, attracted from across Canada and the world. Many specialists work in one or more of the Niagara Health hospitals. Those who require offices outside the hospital for patient visits provide office consultation prior to booked hospital procedures and OR procedures. These include Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Ophthalmology, Neurology, Nephrology, Oncology, Otolaryngology, Cardiology, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Endocrinology specialists. A few specialties such as Psychiatry, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, and Rheumatology can have office practices in a community without having hospital privileges or working in a hospital setting. It is important to have specialists locate in our community for ease of access by local residents, and municipal incentives may serve to encourage them to do so. If Council decides to provide funding for specialists who locate their practice offices in Niagara Falls, a vetting process must be in place. The incentives should be provided on a case-by-case basis, and a decision on eligibility should be based in part labour market demand. As with family physicians, a return of service agreement is recommended in order for the specialist to receive the funds. In Niagara Region, only the Town of Fort Erie currently incentivizes specialists. Locum Support Program The definition of locum tenens, roughly translated from Latin, means “to hold a place.” Locum tenens physicians fill in for other physicians on a temporary basis due to vacancies or illness. In Niagara Falls, our physician complement is relatively older, with 30% of our family physicians over the age of 60, and 10% of total physicians over 70 years of age. Medical locums with short notice are often difficult to find due to the provincial shortage. The Locum Support Program would support practicing family physicians in our community experiencing an illness, or help fill a vacancy in a practice when a physician leaves abruptly or passes away. It helps bring medical care to patients of eligible physicians when the physician is away from their respective practice for a minimum of 15 working days. Page 531 of 613 4 CAO-2019-04 February 12, 2019 The following Locum Support Program is suggested: From October 1- May 31, a maximum allowance of $150/day up to a maximum of $7,500/fiscal year is offered to offset the cost of accommodations, car rental and living expenses. Expenses for meals or parking fees are not eligible. From June 1 - September 30, a maximum allowance of $200/day up to a maximum of $7,500/fiscal year is offered to offset the cost of accommodations, car rental and living expenses. Expenses for meals or parking fees are not eligible. The locum physician may apply for the support after the duration of the locum by submission of receipts to City Hall. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS/BUDGET IMPACT The 2018 family physician recruitment budget was $80,000. For 2019, a budget of $300,000 is recommended to Council budget deliberations to accommodate the recruitment of family physicians, incentives for specialists, funding for the locum support program, and to support education/retention activities. Funding required for these efforts would be transferred to the budget as needed from reserve funds. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Under the Council’s 2015– 2018 Healthy and Safe Community - we are committed to supporting a high quality of life and contributing to the well-being of residents and visitors by ensuring a healthy, safe, and secure community.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2019-05 Schedule of Fees Part Lot Control Application Fee RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City’s Schedule of Fees be amended to include an update of the Part Lot Control Fee structure as outlined in this report. BACKGROUND Planning application fees are set on a cost recovery basis and adjusted annually. Recently it was brought to our attention that the fees charged for Part Lot Control applications was excessive. The Planning Act provides that an exemption can be given to Part Lot Control thus providing for the division of property outside of the subdivision or consent process. This typically is used to allow the division and sale of two units in a semi-detached dwelling or multiple units in a row of townhouses. The fee is set at $1,700 per lot or block. Mountainview Homes constructed 22 semi-detached units on 11 contiguous lots on Tallgrass Avenue in the Chippawa West Phase 2 plan of subdivision. The City’s application fees totalled $18,700 ($1,700 x 11 lots). The fees were paid under protest pending a report to Council. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE When the fee structure was set it was anticipated that an individual lot would be processed on occasion and the staff time to circulate, review, process and write a report to City Council were all costs which should be recoverable under the City’s policy. It did not contemplate multiple lots held by the same owner and occurring simultaneously. Staff, therefore, recommend a revised fee be implemented to recognize the situation where the same developer is dividing lots within the same plan of subdivision/condominium. The City currently has a multi-unit application fee for consent applications whereby the first lot pays the full fee and all concurrent lots pay a flat fee of $510 per lot . Using this fee structure it is proposed the first part lot control application would pay $1,700 and each lot or block, thereafter would pay $510. Page 547 of 613 2 PBD-2019-05 February 12, 2019 If this fee structure is used for the project subject to the complaint the payment due to the City would be $1,700 + $5,100 ($510 x 10 lots) for a total of $6,800 rather than the $18,700 paid. Provided Council accepts this fee structure, a refund of $11,900 would be due since the fees were paid under protest. The City’s Schedule of Fees should be revised and applicable to all future applications. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The adjustment in the Part Lot Control fee structure to provide for the simultaneous processing of multiple lots/blocks will recognize that there are efficiencies in staff time because applications are processed together. The refund of fees will be taken from the 2018 Revenue account for Planning applications. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS No attachments.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2019-05 Assumption of Chippawa West Subdivision, Phase 2 - Stages 1 & 1A RECOMMENDATION That City Council formally assume Chippawa West Subdivision, Phase 2 - Stages 1 & 1A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Final assumption of the subdivision referenced herein is recommended on the basis that the developer has fulfilled their obligations under the Subdivider’s Agreement. Subdivision Registration Plan Chippawa West Phase 2 - Stage 1 59M-395 Chippawa West Phase 2 - Stage 1A 59M-398 Upon final assumption, all remaining securities shall be released to the Subdivider and the City shall assume responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the municipal infrastructure within the subdivision. BACKGROUND Subdivider Agreements are entered into between the developer of a new subdivision and the City to ensure that the requirements of the City and external agencies are satisfied and that securities are provided where necessary. The Agreements outline the developer’s obligations to ensure that municipal infrastructure is constructed in accordance with the approved engineering drawings and in compliance with applicable standards. Prescribed maintenance periods are defined to ensure that construction deficiencies are identified and remedied prior to the City assumption. Final assumption defines that date when remaining securities are released to the Subdivider and all maintenance and operation responsibilities of the municipal infrastructure within the subdivision is assumed by the City. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The developer has fulfilled the obligations as described within the respective Subdivider Agreements and as such the following subdivision stages are recommended for Final Assumption: File Subdivision Registration Plan 94-287 Chippawa West Phase 2 - Stage 1 59M-395 2013-350 Chippawa West Phase 2 - Stage 1A 59M-398 Page 549 of 613 MW-2019-05 February 12, 2019 The municipal infrastructure within these stages of the subdivision has been inspected and deemed to have been constructed in accordance with the approved engineering drawings and in compliance with applicable standards. The required construction maintenance periods have expired.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2019-02 Niagara Girls Hockey Association Amendment Agreement RECOMMENDATION That Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to act on the behalf of the City to execute an amendment to the License Agreement with the Niagara Girls Hockey Association (NGHA) for the Gale Centre. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council, approved Report R&C-2010-04 - Gale Centre License Agreement with the NGHA for the use of the Gale Centre facilities and amenities . The NGHA is requesting an amendment to their agreement to include an additional room for a new program. Staff recommends proceeding with this change and adding the room to the NDGH Agreement. BACKGROUND Prior to construction of the Gale Centre, staff worked with the seven youth tenant organizations on the floorplan design to include office space and st orage space for each of them. These spaces are provided at no charge to the youth user groups. Over the past few years, the people involved in the NGHA have worked hard to build an improved program and increase the number of girls participating in hockey in Niagara Falls. The NGHA is excited to be introducing a Midget AA hockey team next season for the first time in many years. Midget AA hockey is the highest level of female amateur hockey in Ontario. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Gale Centre does not offer the opportunity to provide a dedicated dressing room for the Midget AA team. Staff reviewed the Gale Centre layout with their executive and have come to an agreement to convert an existing meeting room that has been Page 552 of 613 2 R&C-2019-02 February 12, 2019 underutilized since opening in 2010. The NGHA would be responsible for any improvements required to store equipment, training aids, off -ice wear and sticks. Having a dedicated space will not only satisfy the physical needs of the athletes but also help with the intangible needs such as recruitment, desire for equality to male programs and competitors female programs, all while providing a visual space for the younger Niagara Falls girls to see and strive towards. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There is no cost to the City of Niagara Falls to offer this space to the NGHA. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Financial Stability, Committed to be financially responsible to the residents of Niagara Falls by practicing prudent fiscal management of existing resources. The non -tax revenue assists in reducing the Gale Centre operating budget. Recommended by: Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 553 of 613 R&C-2019-03 February 12, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2019-03 2018 Annual Update from the Public Art Advisory Task Force RECOMMENDATION For the information of Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council is the steward of the City’s public art and as such holds it in trust for the citizens of the City of Niagara Falls. Council will maintain and develop the public art collection in keeping with the vision statement and goals of the Pub lic Art Policy. Council designates the custody of public art to the Recreation & Culture Department. The management of public art will be the responsibility of City of Niagara Falls staff with the assistance of the Public Art Advisory Task Force (PAATF) who will: 1. Ensure the development of a collection management system, with documentation standards and procedures modelled on museum practices and with an ongoing system of maintenance and inspection. 2. Develop, maintain and promote the art collection and oversee the provision of fiscal resources for this purpose. 3. Preserve the physical integrity and security of the art collection and the provision of adequate facilities and resources for its long term care. 4. Arrange for the installation and placement of public art in public spaces. 5. Facilitate programming and public education opportunities related to the art collection’s use and promotion. This report provides Council with an update on submissions to the PAATF in 2017. BACKGROUND Public Art is defined as physical works of art and cultural property installed in the public realm. These works of art can be temporary or permanent, and may be installed within Page 554 of 613 2 R&C-2019-03 February 12, 2019 buildings, or outdoors on public lands. This document provides a vision, purpose and goals for the City’s relationship with all public art, while specifically addressing management guidelines and policy for the public art that currently exists. Visually beautiful cities stimulate a sense of pride and commitment. Through its Public Art Policy, the City of Niagara Falls strives to create vibrant public spaces that reflect the diversity of our community and engage its residents and visitors with quality works of public art.

Honour, preserve and encourage our cultural heritage and artistic diversity. 4. Promote civic identity through awareness and preservation of the community’s history, cultures and living arts. 5. Support effective urban planning, economic development and cultural tourism opportunities. All public art projects and acquisitions will be assessed and developed according to the above goals. The following works were submitted for consideration by the PAATF. 1 items Recommended for acquisition Recommended for acquisition - - in progress with Municipal Works Title: N.S. & T.

FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The works accepted into the collection have spatial storage needs but currently all items in the public art collection reside on walls in City owned buildings. Staff is required to ensure proper paperwork and documentation is followed to ensure transfer of ownership and long term understanding of the collection, however, there are no budgetary impacts with these accepted works. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City of Niagara Falls is committed to building and promoting a vibrant, sustainable City that supports an active, connected, and creative community. Through public art, the City can stimulate a sense of pride and commitment from residents and visitors to the City of Niagara Falls. Recommended by: Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 556 of 613 R&C-2019-04 February 12, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2019-04 Recreation & Culture Fee for Service Agreements RECOMMENDATION 1. That City Council approve the three year (2019, 2020, 2021) Fee for Service Agreements for the Niagara Falls Art Gallery, Niagara Falls Concert Band and the Town Crier. 2. And that City Council approve the one year Fee for Service Agreement for the City Historian. 3. That the fee for service funding levels be referred to the 2019 operating budget deliberations for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls has engaged organizations to provide direct services on the City’s behalf for various services. The Recreation & Culture Department has Fee for Service Agreements with the Niagara Falls culture and recreation organizations and individuals to deliver services. The Niagara Falls Art Gallery provides art programming for pre-schoolers to older adults. The Niagara Concert Band and the Town Crier agree to perform at various special events throughout the City. The Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club coordinate and deliver recreation programs for preschoolers, school age children and youth. BACKGROUND The Recreation & Culture Department has historically provided funding to the Boys & Girls Club and the Niagara Falls Art Gallery. Honorariums through the Fee for Service funding have also been provided to the City Histo rian and the Town Crier. The City Historian has requested a one year agreement rather than a three year agreement. Page 557 of 613 2 R&C-2019-04 February 12, 2019 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Recreation & Culture Department is committed to provide programs through community development. Community Development encourages partnerships, capacity building, which is innovative and cost effective. Other local municipal recreation departments coordinate and deliver culture and recreation programming.

Page 563 of 613 TS-2019-02 February 12, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-02 Multiple Locations – Intersection Control Review RECOMMENDATION That a stop sign is installed on the minor street approach at each intersection as outlined in this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A stop sign is warranted at each studied location to properly assign the right-of-way amongst motorists. BACKGROUND City Staff has received several requests to investigate the feasibility of installing a stop sign on the minor street approach for traffic facing: Southbound on Brant Avenue at Cadham Street; Southbound on Rice Crescent at Ryerson Crescent; Southbound on McGlashan Crescent at Ryerson Crescent; Eastbound on Nelson Crescent at McGlashan Crescent; Westbound on Elgin Avenue at Stanton Avenue; Eastbound on Bracken Street at Carolyn Avenue; Westbound on Nadia Court at Mewburn Road; Eastbound on Northcastle Drive at Paddock Trail; and, Westbound on Northcastle Drive at Connell Avenue. Each intersection is currently operates under the basic right-of-way rule. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Study results indicate that a stop control is warranted at each of the above intersections. The approach sight triangle requirement for an uncontrolled crossing is not met, thus Page 564 of 613 2 TS-2019-02 February 12, 2019 warranting additional traffic control. This is common in developed residential areas where vegetation, fences and dwellings are present within the visibility clear zone. A collision review revealed that a collision problem does not exist at any of these intersections in the previous five years. The installation of the stop signs will ensure motorists on the minor road approaches stop and yield the right-of-way to motorists on the major roads. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the stop signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs will be accounted for in the 2019 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to install the signs is approximately $2,200. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Although one specialty response may not represent a unique situation, the various response types found in our city create a fire department that is uniquely Niagara Falls. Some of the challenges we face include; density issues created routinely by myriads of tourists and traffic – more particularly in the peak tourist season, highways, international bridges and their associated traffic patterns, high-angle topography within the gorge, a high-rise city core area second only to Toronto, Falls rescues, high-angle canal issues with fast flowing waterways, highly urban and rural landscapes, etc. All of these factors present significant demands for the department, making it challenging for this organization, along with the significant responsibility to the residents, visitors and those employed by our city. The goal of the Niagara Falls Fire Department is to reduce the loss of life and property and the protection of the environment. One way in which this is achieved is through public fire and life safety education to the children and citizens of our community. Public fire and life safety education are very important parts of the overall activities of the fire department and the Fire Prevention Division. Our public education initiatives strive to teach fire and life safety to every person who lives, learns, works and plays in our community. The Fire Department’s response is currently being fulfilled by 22 on-duty full- time firefighters and 72 volunteer firefighters, augmented by staff in our Communications, Training, Fire Prevention and Administration divisions. The following is a synopsis of the Niagara Falls Fire Department in 2018. We look forward to continuous improvement and a continued high level of service to our community. Jim Boutilier Fire Chief Page 568 of 613 3 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Mission, Vision, Values Mission: “The Niagara Falls Fire Department is committed to safely protecting life, property and the environment through education, prevention and emergency response.” Vision: “Eliminate loss of life and property, injuries, and environmental damage from fire.” Values: Leadership “Everyone takes the lead” Teamwork “One for all” Accountability “Do the right thing” Respect “Give and you shall receive” Page 569 of 613 4 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Fire Administration Fire Administration consists of the Fire Chief, Deputy Chief of Administration, Deputy Chief of Operations, Executive Secretary, Secretary 1 and Chaplain, operating out of the Stan Thomson Fire Administration Building on Morrison Street. The Chief is responsible for 136 career and 104 volunteer staff. The support position of Chaplain has proven to be an extremely valuable position within our department. Chaplin Isaac Flagg is available to provide support, spiritual guidance and counseling to each of our members. Page 570 of 613 5 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Organizational Structure Page 571 of 613 6 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Budget The budget for the Fire Department is identified through Operating and Capital allocations approved by Council. Operating budget - $22,345,730.00 Capital budget - $100,000 In March 2018, the arbitrator handed down a Collective Agreement award for 2014 – 2017 with the Niagara Falls Professional Fire Fighters Association. Buildings The Niagara Falls Fire Department operates from six (6) fire stations and one administration building. The City owns five of the six fire stations, with a portion of Fire Station 5 on Sodom Road being leased to the City by the Willoughby Volunteer Fire Department. The installation of a new Radio System was completed. The renovations at Fire Station 3, 3401 Dorchester Road, were completed with an addition to the building creating both male and female washrooms, along with a safe haven for the public. Page 572 of 613 7 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Staffing There is a complement of 133 full-time employees operating from four divisions: Suppression, Fire Prevention, Training, and Communications, and an approved complement of 104 volunteer firefighters. Three full-time stations are based in the urban area of the city and three volunteer stations are located in the suburban/rural area of the city. Full-time staffing is 29 firefighters on each of four shifts. If staffing is below 22 full-time firefighters on any shift, firefighters are hired to fill the positions. There were five (5) retirements and four (4) staff left for promotions within other departments throughout the Niagara Region in 2018. The approved complement of 104 volunteer firefighters is divided between the three (3) volunteer stations. Volunteer staffing numbers at the end of 2018 are reflective of recruitment and retention issues plaguing municipalities across the province. Staffing District Station 4 Chippawa Station 5 Willoughby Station 6 Crowland Approved Complement 42 30 32 Staffing Dec. 31, 2018 27 21 24 When a responding district requires more resources than available, additional districts are called in to assist. For example, if a structure fire occurs in the Station 5 district, Station 6 is dispatched as well. Although this provides an alternative supply of staffing, there is a reduction of timely initial full response to the district as a result. Station 2 staff is responding into the volunteer areas between 0800 – 1800 hours. Page 573 of 613 8 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Fleet The main apparatus includes 9 pumpers, 2 aerials, 2 heavy rescues, 2 light rescues, 1 hazmat unit, 1 rehabilitation vehicle, 1 tanker and 1 pumper/tanker. All vehicles are serviced by mechanics from the Municipal Works department who work with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure the fleet is appropriately serviced and maintained. Work was completed on acquiring a new pumper to replace aging apparatus.

This includes specific roles for the province and municipalities. Within this framework, municipalities are responsible for funding and delivering services and the province is responsible for providing advice, guidance and support to municipalities. The vision of the FPPA is that every resident of Ontario will receive an appropriate level of fire protection. The element of public education is the first measure in the “Three Lines of Defence” with the intentions of providing the public with valuable information to prevent fires from occurring, ensuring there is proper early detection (smoke/CO alarms), and ensuring that an effective home escape plan is in place for self- evacuation. Public education is the most proactive and cost effective way of ensuring the public is safe. With modern building construction and home furnishings, there are only minutes to escape a fire. Residents need to be equipped with the knowledge and tools to ensure they can safely escape a fire. The days of fire departments rescuing people from single family dwellings are long gone. Fires are burning. Fire Prevention Week: October 7– 13, 2018 "Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire Can Happen Anywhere” was the 2018 theme for Fire Prevention Week. The theme emphasized the importance of looking for places fire can start, listening for the sound of the smoke alarm and learning two ways out of each room. This year, the Fire Prevention Division decided to modify their typical Fire Prevention Week events. The one major change was not having the kick-off open house. While this event is historically well attended, the resources dedicated (both human and financial) to hosting this event were prohibitive. Also, it was determined that the focus of this event had morphed from a grass roots public education event to a fire department show and tell. The safety messaging was being lost amongst the excitement of firefighter demonstrations and it was determined the division’s focus needed to return to what Fire Prevention Week is all about – preventing fires and saving lives. Typically each year, staff from the division attend community centres (MacBain, Gale, Library) in the evenings during Fire Prevention Week to hand out fire safety literature and have one-on-one conversations with residents to promote fire safety. Based on discussions with staff, it was determined these evenings were not effective ways of providing education as the public who would visit the table generally wanted free merchandise. It was determined a more appropriate methodology to providing education would be to identify target audiences and Page 576 of 613 11 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT invite them to the fire station on specific evenings and staff would deliver tailored presentations to those specific groups. The groups identified were: young children, seniors, and adults with young children. While staff had informative and well-rounded presentations prepared, attendance was quite low. Preparation for these events, including advertising, falls on staff to complete along with their regular duties; therefore, proper resources cannot be allocated in order to ensure these events are successful. The addition of a dedicated Public Education Officer to the Fire Prevention Division would ensure that the level of public education provided to residents is adequate and on par with other departments. With the current staffing model, the department can only provide a substandard public education regime. Along with the Suppression Division, Fire Prevention staff attended all elementary and secondary schools in the city to conduct fire drills during this week. This is an important program that Niagara Falls Fire runs every Fire Prevention Week and helps to ensure that fire safety and preparedn ess is on the minds of staff and students in our local schools. This is one of the only opportunities the fire department has in ensuring some level of fire safety is maintained within our school systems. Wake Up Campaign The Wake Up! Campaign is a hallmark program with the Niagara Falls Fire Department and 2018 was the seventh year of the program. This program targets areas in the city where homes were built without required smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. Firefighters attend these neighbourhoods and visit door-to-door ensuring required detection is in place, installing where alarms were absent and providing fire safety literature to the occupants of the home. Some of these neighbourhoods have experienced fires and efforts are specifically concentrated in these areas to ensure that all residents have the necessary life safety devices in their homes. The program progressed with members of the Niagara Falls Fire Department attending 1,171 homes and entering 284 (24%). Of the homes entered, Fire staff installed a total of 41 smoke alarms, 23 carbon monoxide alarms, and 35 combination smoke/CO alarms, with 56 batteries replaced. Of the 284 homes entered, 185 or 65% were in full compliance with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Page 577 of 613 12 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Elementary School Program With the regular demands and necessity to complete fire safety inspections, the Fire Prevention Division continues to find it difficult to adequately address public education within the school system. With changes to the staff within the division, it was determined that there were not enough resources in place to deliver an adequate program within the school system. In 2017, a firefighter from suppression was seconded to deliver the program and a similar program will be delivered in the winter of 2019 by a firefighter seconded to the Fire Prevention Division. Carbon Monoxide Alarm Donation The Fire Prevention Division was able to coordinate a donation of 100 carbon monoxide alarms that was made possible by a motion of City of Niagara Falls City Council. The alarms were presented to Executive Director Dianne Corkum of Project SHARE. The alarms will help to ensure some of the most vulnerable residents in the city are protected from the dangers of carbon monoxide. Vacant Buildings As the result of a number of fires in vacant buildings throughout the city, the Fire Prevention Division began tracking vacant buildings to ensure they were secured against unauthorized entry, as required by the Ontario Fire Code. Owners were required to ensure that all reasonable attempts are being made to protect these buildings from vagrants gaining access and using the properties for illegal/unsafe uses. If vacant buildings are identified, staff from the Fire Prevention Division issues the appropriate orders under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act to have the violation remedied. Suppression crews sometimes monitor the status of vacant buildings and report their findings back to Fire Prevention. It is suggested that suppression crews no longer monitor these properties unless they receive training on locating owners, preparing and issuing the appropriate orders and performing follow up inspections. The concern is, if issues are identified and Fire Prevention staff cannot respond accordingly based on work previously scheduled, this could place the department in a liability situation. Page 578 of 613 13 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Vulnerable Occupancies The Fire Prevention Division continues to ensure that all 26 vulnerable occupancies (retirement, care, care and treatment homes) within the City of Niagara Falls are in compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. This is achieved through the required annual inspection required by the Ontario Fire Code as well as ensuring that staff is prepared to respond in a f ire emergency by conducting annual evacuation drills. In the 2016 report, it was identified that a goal for the coming years was more communication and interaction with the administration of these occupancies. This has proven to be a valuable approach to working with these properties.

These statistics do not factor in fire incidences that did not involve Fire Prevention staff. In total, the Niagara Falls Fire Department responded to a total of 62 reported fire incidences in 2018. This includes miscellaneous fires (car, hydro poles) and structure fires. Page 580 of 613 15 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Communications Division The Communications Division is staffed by a Captain of Communications, four (4) full-time dispatchers, and supplemented by 16 qualified firefighters as needed. The Acting Captain position was created and two of our communicators are qualified to act as Captain when the Captain of Communications is away. Dispatch staff processed or monitored 82,391 radio transmissions for 6,124 emergency responses and other non-emergency communications. Dispatch staff also act as the telephone operator for the fire department. There were 30,742 phone calls originating from or calling to the fire department. Dispatchers have an important role for notification of the Emergency Management Team when required. The Communications Division coordinates radio system maintenance and coordination with contracted support technicians. Page 581 of 613 16 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Training Division During 2018, the Niagara Falls Fire Department welcomed new equipment and staff additions. The Training Division was tasked to ensure a smooth and efficient integration of these items into service. The Training Division is staffed by a Chief Training Officer, a Captain of Training responsible for Career staff training and a Captain of Training responsible for Volunteer staff training. The average training for a full-time firefighter was 165 hours for this year. In order to maintain OFM certification, they must train a minimum of 130 hours plus specialty training per year. The average training for a volunteer firefighter was 115 hours for this year. In order to maintain OFM certification, they must train a minimum of 60 hours plus specialty training per year. The Training staff delivers and oversees training to the entire staff complement. Under their guidance, volunteer stations and full-time shift officers augment the delivery of routine training. Specialty training requires extensive technical expertise and is delivered through suppression staff who has achieved expert status. Delivery has been provided by many in-house instructors. Officers conducted the review of training assigned for the year to their respective staff. NFFD Specialty Training Instructors include: Confined Space Rescue Peer Fitness Instruction Water & Ice Rescue Pumper Operations Technical High Angle Rope Rescue Elevator Rescue Hazardous Materials Forcible Entry SCBA/Air Technicians Emergency Medical SCBA Fit testing Auto Extrication Road to Mental Readiness Confined Space Rescue Training The Niagara Falls Fire Department’s full-time firefighters have been trained to the operations and technician level of confined space. In order to enhance this training, a deck was constructed around the tanker to make our training more realistic, as well as providing a much safer environment to train in. Platoons completed over 258 hours of training in 2018 to maintain their proficiency in this specialty. Page 582 of 613 17 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Water and Ice Rescue Training In 2018, our water rescue instructors delivered 686 hours of training that encompassed all six (6) stations. Four Instructors were sent to the Indiana River Rescue School in South Bend Indiana to enhance the skill level in all disciplines of water rescue. Rope Rescue Training In 2018, all four platoons of career firefighters compiled 1,366 hours of assigned rope training. The Arizona Vortex was introduced in 2017 and has become our primary resource for rope rescue incidents. Hazardous Materials Training The hazardous materials training focus for 2018 included all career staff being trained and tested to the NFPA 472 Mission Specific level of certification. Our Hazardous Materials committee, comprised of career staff, continued building relationships with local CAER group of chemical companies. Crews participated in a combined 1,515 hours of training evolutions that raised awareness and increased efficiency at these locations. Firefighter Survival Training Fireground survival continued to practise the skills that could potentially save firefighter lives. Training included Mayday prevention, self-rescue procedures and skills. All four (4) Platoons and three (3) volunteer stations completed 1,338 hours of the advanced level of firefighter training.

Page 584 of 613 19 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Emergency Management Emergency Management Program The Fire Chief is the Community Emergency Management Coordinator (CEMC) and the Deputy Chiefs are the alternates for the City of Niagara Falls. The CEMC is responsible for providing the forum for training, exercising and assembling the Emergency Management Team together in times of crisis. The training and exercise requirements in 2018 were conducted. In December, our compliance package was submitted to the Chief of Emergency Management of Ontario, indicating that the City of Niagara Falls complied with all of the 15 annual requirements, as set out in the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. Emergency Preparedness Week This year, Emergency Preparedness Week (EP Week) was held from May 6 to 12. Emergency Preparedness Week is an opportunity to encourage Canadians to take concrete actions to be better prepared to protect themselves and their families during emergencies. This year’s theme is “Be Emergency Ready”. To promote emergency preparedness in Niagara Falls, the public education campaign was focused on utilizing social media (Twitter) to educate the public. In total, there were 12,192 impressions of tweets sent by @NiaFallsFire. The Fire Department used what resources were provided by OFMEM. The Niagara Falls Fire Department also partnered with Fallsview Casino on Saturday, May 12th to promote emergency preparedness initiatives in the community to all their staff. Page 585 of 613 20 NIAGARA FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 2018 ANNUAL REPORT What was new in 2018? Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre Fire Prevention Staff continues to be involved in the day to day planning and construction of the entertainment centre. Identified as a municipally significant project, staff resources must be allocated to ensure the project has the necessary oversight to ensure compliance with all applicable codes and standards. Fire Extinguisher Training Prop The Fire Prevention Division was fortunate to receive a Bullex Fire Extinguisher training prop. This new equipment will assist the division in expanding the services they can provide to the public by offering professional and hands-on fire extinguisher training to the public sector for a fee. Dedication Ceremony - Line of Duty Death Memorial September 11, 2018 marked the date for the L.O.D.D. Memorial Dedication Ceremony. The memorial was constructed in 2018 to provide a permanent place to honour and remember our firefighters who have given their lives protecting the safety of our citizens and visitors to our community. The dedication ceremony featured our Honour Guard, being led by the NRPS Piper, and was kicked off with the singing of the National Anthem by Kristen Patterson. Along with the Chief, Deputies, firefighters, retirees, Chaplain and staff, several dignitaries, members of the public and other emergency services staff attended.

As this has been an ongoing discussion with our BIA, a motion #18-27 was made by Karen Stearne, seconded by Wendy Leard at our Tuesday, October 9, 2018 board meeting. The motion to discontinue 90-minute free parking due to escalating costs was carried with only 1 Abstention recorded. Therefore, we would like to request that our intention be presented to City Council to discontinue the 90-minute free parking and move to paid parking on Queen Street. From discussions, we understand that new Pay and Display machines will be required to implement the paid parking criteria. Your assistance in having this presented to City Council before their capital budget review would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Ron Charbonneau, Chair, Downtown Board of Management.

For decades this group has proudly served Niagara, performing in various capacities across the region for the enjoyment of others! Today, dancers from WLSD have been presented with what is truly once in a lifetime opportunity. Members of our Dance Company have been invited to perform on the grandest stage of them all – BROADWAY! In the Summer of 2019, 14 families from the school will travel to NYC to represent Niagara on Broadway as well as a special command performance in Times Square. While in New York they will also participate in workshops facilitated by Disney To assist these talented representatives of our city; we have started a fundraising campaign to offset the cost of this trip. While this is an incredible opportunity for these young performers, it is not a lucrative one. Dancers and their families face significant costs and as such, we are seeking your support to offset these costs. We are having t-shirts printed for everyone to wear at all our functions and during our trip. As a lifelong citizen of Niagara Falls, I would be so proud to have everyone wearing the City of Niagara Falls CANADA logo on the sleeves of these shirts. I have calculated that it will cost a minimum of $2000.00 per dancer for this trip. I would love the opportunity to sit with you and further discuss the possibility of city sponsorship. Page 597 of 613 3 Thank you in advance for your generosity in supporting the dreams of these amazing young ladies and gentlemen.

The Prince of Wales Award is akin to the Academy Award in the world of Heritage. The event takes place from 1 pm to 4 pm. All Councilors are invited to attend. Heritage Recognition Awards will also be given out during the Heritage Event to two property owners recognizing their contribution in maintaining, restoring and rehabilitating heritage properties within the City: Aesthetic Merit: -, Yellow Gables House 3855 St. James Ave, owner Dorothy Morgan; Landmark property on the corner of St. James Ave and St. John St. has two large trees that anchor the front yard and is surrounded by a stone wall. The two storey brick and stone house built c. 1930 features steep gable ends decorated with barge boards in the peaks painted in eye-catching yellow. Honorary Mention for Stewardship: Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 7820 Portage Road; First church on the site built in 1821 and was destroyed by a fire. Second church was built c. 1841 and was designated in 1983. The church and cemetery are landmarks on Portage Road and have been a large part of the community of Chippawa for almost 200 years. As the Municipal Heritage Committee recognizes the importance of the City’s heritage, they welcome this week as a time to share their enthusiasm and excitement with the residents of Niagara Falls and hope to heighten the awareness of the City’s heritage through events such as the Heritage Info Event at the Niagara Falls History Museum and would encourage all to attend. Page 599 of 613 A Great City … For Generations To Come A proclamation is to be included in the Council agenda for February 12, 2019. Since 1974, Heritage Canada, a national organization has recognized the third Monday in February as Heritage Day. In 1985, the Ontario government expanded the day to a full week in order to recognize Ontario’s rich and diverse heritage. According to th e Ontario Heritage Trust, many heritage-based organizations and municipalities have used the Heritage Day and Ontario Heritage Week as a vehicle to stimulate awareness of heritage resources and heritage related issues within their communities. To this end, the Municipal Heritage Committee would ask that Council proclaim the week of February 18-24, 2019 as Heritage Week in the City of Niagara Falls. PB:pb S:\HISTORY\HERITAGE\WEEK\2019\Memo to Clerk re Proclamation.docx Page 600 of 613 1 Bill Matson From: Sent:Tuesday, February 5, 2019 3:21 PM To:CouncilMembers Subject:Boarding House Bylaw Boarding House Bylaw For many years my neighbours and I have put up with the turmoil and disruption of an elicit boarding house setting up shop on the end of our quiet residential crescent. Renting rooms in your house for a couple of people does not rise to the definition of a boarding house, and with adequate parking usually has no ill effect on a neighbourhood. In my case however, a bachelor with no children and no family, turning a 5-bedroom house into an 8-bedroom house for the sole purpose of renting rooms for up to 11 tenants exceeds all expectations and established norms for a quiet residential street. Cramming 6 cars into a driveway at night to avoid overnight parking fines, then parking them on the pubic street during the day does not constitute an acceptable parking strategy. The numerous parking complaints, the excessive traffic and noise, the police complaints, and the long list of property standards disputes have created an untenable situation for the residents on the end of this crescent. A definition of a community describes an area that is defined by the commonalities shared by the people who live there. This common bond that defines our communities is not shared by those who would use their homes as a source of income and subvert the character of an entire community. I was always led to believe that we had a boarding house bylaw. We don’t. What we have is a definition of a boarding house with no bylaw to support that definition. For the last several years, in the hopes that it might address my problem, I have anxiously watched our city council deal with several other home occupancy problems, such as Airbnb’s and accessory dwelling units. In both these instances consideration was taken to protect and preserve the character and conformity of these neighbourhoods. I have in my quest for answers attended several public information sessions, I have emailed department heads, and I have talked to a half a dozen city hall employees from zoning, enforcement, and bylaws and planning, all to no avail. No one was able to tell me who or how to initiate the process to enact a bylaw to address this type of incursion into my neighbourhood. I would appreciate your support at council to request our city staff to consider a bylaw through licensing and zoning to regulate this form of high-density home occupation in our residential areas. If more information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me.
