Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2019-13 Millennium Trail - Rotary Storywalk Pathway Naming Request RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the request to recognize both the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls Sunrise and the Niagara Falls Rotary Club by naming section five of the Millennium Recreational Trail, the “Rotary StoryW alk® Pathway”. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the spring of 2018, the Niagara Falls Rotary Clubs pledged $75,000 towards the construction of the new Millennium Recreational Trail project known as section five. Attached to the pledge was a request for the City to agree to construct sixteen StoryWalk® boards along the trail to help promote the Niagara Falls Public Library’s literacy initiatives. Both Rotary Clubs are primary sponsors of the StoryWalk® program in Niagara Falls. To acknowledge the financial donation from both Rotary Clubs, City Staff recommend the naming of the fifth section of the Millennium Recreational Trail (Dorchester Road to Drummond Road) the “Rotary StoryW alk® Pathway”. BACKGROUND The Millennium Recreational Trail runs along the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) hydro canal corridor connecting the south and north ends of the city. Section five of the trail connects the existing segments and will run from Dorchester Road to Drummond Road. Section five is scheduled to be constructed and completed in 2019. Members of both Niagara Falls Rotary Clubs met with City Staff in early 2018 to express a desire to help fund the capital project by making a $75,000 donation over five years ($15,000 X 5 years). Attached with the donation was a request that the project include the construction of sixteen StoryWalk® boards that will be permanently lined along the new trail section. The StoryWalk® boards are part of a literacy program that the Niagara Falls Public Library administers. The StoryWalk® program is primarily sponsored by both Rotary Clubs in Niagara Falls. The StoryWalk® program is an opportunity for children to Page 30 of 401 2 R&C-2019-13 June 4, 2019 experience reading a book while walking along the trail. StoryWalk® promotes literacy and outdoor physical activity. Additionally, they foster community involvement and parent engagement. Children of all ages may experience a StoryWalk® with family members or caregivers by following an outdoor path of large, laminated pages from an illustrated story. The pages also contain questions and activities designed to encourage discussion, interaction, and to strengthen children’s emergent literacy development. The StoryWalk® Program was initially created in 2007 by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont and developed in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and the Kellogg Hubbard Library. Today, it has been adopted by hundreds of libraries internationally, including the Niagara Falls Public Library. Additionally, all existing Millennium Recreational Trail sections have been named in honour of a prominent resident, historical date or legacy sponsorship. The naming of section five will be consistent with existing trail names. The following is a listing of the current sections of the Millennium Recreational Trail: - John McCall MacBain Pathway (section 1) - Canada 150 Pathway (section 6) - Paisley Janvary Pool Pathway (section 4) - Niagara Falls Lions Legacy Pathway (section 3) ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The purpose of the City of Niagara Falls, Naming and Renaming of Parks Policy is to outline a procedure for the commemorative naming or renaming of parks/open spaces, and component features as part of the acquisition and/or management of these spaces by the City of Niagara Falls. Commemorative Naming refers to the naming of a property in honour of outstanding achievement, distinctive service, or significant community contribution, generally without financial consideration. At the May 21, 2019, Recreation Committee meeting the committee discussed the Rotary Club’s contribution to the trail build and past community involvement that Rotarians have provided and continue to provide. The committee supported the following motion “To Name the fifth section of the Millennium Recreational Trail, The Rotary StoryWalk® Pathway”. As stated in the policy; Council shall approve all names in honour of individuals or groups. Names for consideration shall be those of distinguished persons, organizations, corporations, foundations or families. Page 31 of 401 3 R&C-2019-13 June 4, 2019 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The donation from both Rotary Clubs in Niagara Falls is the first one of any significance towards sponsoring a trail build. The $75,000 will cover costing for building the StoryWalk® boards and footings, plus other amenities at the discretion of the Project Manager. The stories that will be posted inside the StoryWalk® boards will be exclusively maintained and changed by Niagara Falls Public Library Staff and at the expense of the Niagara Falls Public Library. A Memorandum of Understanding will be completed between the City of Niagara Falls and Niagara Falls Public Library, which will outline details involving any future maintenance for the StoryWalk® Boards. A Recognition Event and Sign Unveiling will take place once the trail is completed. Expenses incurred for the opening event will be absorbed by the City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2019-12 Niagara 2021 Canada Summer Games Update RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Mayor and Council be authorized to execute the Niagara 2021 Canada Summer Games Venue Agreement for the use of Oakes Park and Kalar Road Park once the venue agreement has been submitted to staff. 2. That staff report back to Council regarding the W.L. Houck proposed legacy baseball project once the Canada Summer Games legacy projects and funding have been finalized. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the November 28, 2017 Council meeting, Council approved report R&C-2017-13 recommendations: 1. To receive and refer the W.L. Houck and Oakes Park, Canada Games Baseball Training and Competitive Complex, Legacy Project proposal to the 2018 capital budget process. 2. To allow staff to enter into a revised non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canada Summer Games 2021 Host Society. The required funds of $150,000 to upgrade Oakes Park dugouts, bull pens and fencing to adhere to the required technical specifications were approved in the 2019 Capital budget. BACKGROUND The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canada Summer Games 2021 Host Society requested upgrades to Oakes Park dugouts, bull pens and fencing to adhere to the required technical specifications. Canada Games agreed to contribute 50% of the costs to upgrade the baseball diamond. Kalar Road artificial turf field will Page 43 of 401 2 R&C-2019-12 June 4, 2019 also be utilized for soccer training August 5th to 21st. MOU requested the rental fees be waived for both facilities. Canada Summer Games Committee is in the process of finalizing the Games Legacy Projects. The proposed Niagara Falls legacy project includes the construction of an artificial turf baseball diamond at W. L. Houck Park. The park is adjacent to Oakes Park and may be the warm up diamond for Canada Summer Games athletes. Upon the conclusion of the games, both parks will become a high level baseball training and competition facility. The parks will be outfitted with improved batting cages and a diamond that can be permitted for eight months instead of four months for games. The cost to construct the diamond and related facilities will be shared by the City and the Canada Summer Games. Staff will report back to Council regarding the timing and cost for this project once the legacy projects are finalized. The proposed legacy project has been discussed with and supported by GNBA, the Recreation Committee and other local baseball stakeholders. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Canada Summer Games 2021 will take place August 6th to the 21st. Games will attract thousands of athletes and spectators to the Niagara Region . Approximately 5000 athletes will participate in the 18 events held throughout the Niagara Region. Over 4000 volunteers will assist in delivering the games over the two week period. Canada Games celebrates sports and culture. The planned culture related ev ents are designed for the athletes, spectators and community. During the games each Niagara municipality will be paired with a province or territory. City of Niagara Falls will be paired with British Columbia. Each municipality will host an event to celebrate their community and the matched province or territory. Niagara Falls will host their event at Queen Victoria Park in partnership with Niagara Parks Commission on Friday August 13th. The City will also have the honour of hosting the Games Closing Ceremony at Queen Victoria Park on Saturday, August 21st 2021. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS At the November 28, 2017 Council meeting, Council approved report R&C-2017-13 waiving the rental fees for Oakes Park and Kalar Road Soccer Complex. Council also agreed to contribute 50% of the costs to improve Oakes Park main baseball diamond approximately $45,000. To provide the best experience for the athletes other related park amenities in the complex will be upgraded in time for the games. The cost to build the proposed artificial turf diamond and training centre is approximately two million dollars. If the proposal is approved, the City will receive funding from Canada Summer Games Host Society for the Legacy project.

Norm Kraft started with the company in 1989, became CEO in 1993, and has never looked back. "I've seen everything in this business," says Kraft. "The ups and downs of the marketplace, the evolution of technology. It's certainly been an incredible ride." Niagara Recycling pioneered recycling in the region in the Seventies, starting with door-to-door collection of newspaper using cube vans. In 1985 they implemented the second residential recycling Page 57 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 2/17 Blue Box program in the province of Ontario - likely the second in Canada after nearby Kitchener- Waterloo. "By the early nineties, all 12 municipalities in the Region had implemented blue box programs," says Kraft. "In 1996, the Niagara Region assumed responsibility for all waste management including recycling, and we've enjoyed a mutually bene cial 23-year partnership with them ever since." Norm Kraft, president of Niagara Recycling, and employee Kevin Fripp with bales of aluminum. At the start, as a non-pro t social enterprise company, Kraft explains that Niagara Recycling was set up in partnership with another non-pro t organization known as NTEC (Niagara Training and Employment Center) which has the sole mandate to provide assistance to people with developmental disabilities. "We were originally one of the arms for NTEC, where we would integrate developmentally challenged adults into our workplace," he explains. "There was hardly any equipment then, maybe a few conveyors and mostly manual sorting of newspapers...a far cry f rom the sophistication used in MRFs today." He adds that to his knowledge, Niagara Recycling's partnership with the Niagara Region, combined with its social mandate, is not a model that is being used elsewhere at MRFs on the same scale. "Most of the MRFs in Ontario are operated by large corporations, as they are in many cities across North America, so it's rather unique to have this kind of close relationship with our Region," he says, adding that their facility also includes a MRF educational component through which they conduct public tours and school tours. "Since it is a public asset, it is important to showcase the facility to the community. On the bre line at Niagara Recycling. "Our relationship with Niagara also provides great exibility for the Region as program changes can easily be made, often without complex and more costly negotiations that would occur with a private sector operator," he says. "We receive a fee for running the regionally owned 100,000 square- foot MRF and that fee is put back into the community. We submit an annual budget, they cover the expenses and they receive all the revenue f rom the sale of commodities. "We operate as a non-pro t social enterprise with two focuses. One is obviously to help the environment through recycling, but secondly, it is to support the program here for developmentally challenged adults. It's a very unique model for providing recycling services." Page 58 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 3/17 Working with NTEC, Niagara Recycling hires individuals with developmental disabilities who are fully integrated into their operation, working a 40-hour work week. They also run a work experience training program, providing part-time positions. According to Kraft, since 1996, Niagara Recycling has donated over $2.5 million back into the Niagara Region to support programs for developmentally challenged adults. "Individuals in the part-time program receive counselling and coaching and skills development, and they get behavioural support and performance assessments," explains Kraft. "It's a way of teaching individuals with disabilities about life and work skills." He adds that while they only have so many positions to offer, the part-time positions often integrate into full-time or part-time jobs within the local community. "For any business that has an opportunity to integrate developmentally challenged individuals into the workplace, we highly recommend it," he continues. "They're working on the sorting lines, sorting polystyrene, paper or other plastics - wherever anyone else can work. And the changes in these individual's personalities is profound - once they get into the workplace, they gain social and work skills." He says the employment of developmentally challenged adults also provides great bene ts for Niagara Recycling. "It brings a feeling of community and it boosts morale. Co-workers are always watching out for these individuals, and they have a great sense of humour and bring laughter into our workplace. They are a very special part of Niagara Recycling." Dual-Stream and a diversity of in ow Niagara Recycling, different f rom most programs in North America currently, is a dual-stream MRF, and always has been. Kraft says more and more programs, especially smaller ones, are starting to revisit the choice to operate as single-stream, especially in light of changing global markets, such as China which has all but shut their doors to anything other than nearly 100 percent pure, uncontaminated recyclable material. When bre is mixed with plastics and other Blue Box materials as incoming material in single- stream collection programs, it takes signi cantly more processing effort and inf rastructure to meet very strict contamination standards - for both streams of materials. "There's a rethink around the bene ts of single-stream," he says. "The fact that we've been two- stream f rom day one has ensured that we maximize our revenues and diversion f rom land ll." Niagara Recycling processes about 300 short tons of curbside and commercial material daily. Of that total, about 75 to 80 percent is bre and most of the remainder is plastic and other containers. In Niagara, with about 450,000 residents, residential recyclable materials are collected in two curbside boxes. The bre stream is collected, along with plastic lm, in a curbside Grey Box, including cardboard box board, newspaper, magazines, catalogues and of ce paper. The second stream, collected in a Page 59 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 4/17 curbside Blue Box, consists of glass bottles and jars, steel cans, aluminum beverage cans, foil, aluminum, steel and aluminum aerosol and paint cans, polycoat and aseptic cartons, as well as all plastics one through seven, including polystyrene (styrofoam). Kraft says that, generally speaking, residents do a good job of keeping items separated properly, but notes that the biggest challenge remains the proper source-separation of plastic lm. Residents are asked to make sure all their plastic lm, grocery bags, plastic packaging and stretch wrap is put into one bag, tied and placed in the Grey Box with the bre stream. Often however, plastic lm is still placed in the Blue Box, or loose in the Grey Box, which makes separation very challenging. "We nd lm stays cleaner when it's in the Grey Box, which makes it better for our end market to process," he explains. "It is easier to separate this way, because when it gets in the Blue Box container stream the bags can rip open easily on the glass and metal, and become contaminated with liquids and ne glass." He adds that while their two-stream system is a part of why Niagara Recycling has proven to be one of the more cost-effective operations in the province, the diverse nature of the materials they accept is also a signi cant factor. "We have as comprehensive a list of acceptable items as probably anyone out there," says Kraft. "Unlike most other recycling operations in Ontario, if not Canada, we have diversi ed beyond the traditional model where a municipality hires a contractor to process material f rom Blue Box or Grey Box programs. "For us, 52 percent of the tonnage that we process is f rom the residential program here. But because our facility is owned by the Region, through our unique partnership we also work together to bid on other contracts. About 48 percent of the volume we bring in is f rom third party municipal contracts and f rom commercial recycling programs that Niagara Recycling has developed over the last 30 years or more." Niagara Recycling’s cold-press polystyrene processing setup compacts EPS into 50-pound blocks. He says some third-party contracts they bid on in Ontario include additional bre and containers f rom other municipal Blue Box programs, and all their contracts add up. "If we're processing 78,000 tons a year, those third-party contracts are close to 37,000 tons, so it allows us to generate more income for the Region." With all of these sources, including some acceptable drop-off of items, including textiles and bulky rigid plastics such as old Blue Boxes, lawn chairs and more, Niagara Recycling de nitely has one of the more comprehensive recycling programs in Ontario and maybe in Canada. Outside of lm Page 60 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 5/17 plastic and black plastics (including food trays and ower pots), items that many programs do not accept, they also recycle aerosol paint cans and expanded polystyrene (white and coloured styrofoam.) "We have been able to nd diverse markets and we've put in equipment that has allowed us to stay in the business of recycling a wide range of commodities," he says. Yet another example of the diversi ed nature of Niagara Recycling's business is that they provide on-site document destruction services. "We bought a Shred-Tech shredding truck in 2012 and we offer on site NAID (National Association for Information Destruction)-certi ed shredding," Kraft explains. "We provide on-site shredding services to local businesses, institutions and municipal of ces. It's another way to generate income. "We bring in upwards of up to 80 tons a month," says Kraft. "Of ce waste is worth a signi cant amount of money. Plus we charge for shredding services, so it de nitely brings in good extra revenue for the Region." Niagara Ecoglass is sold for over $100 per tonne, mainly to the sandblasting market. Processing polystyrene and glass Niagara Recycling's diversi ed capabilities include two particularly challenging materials: polystyrene (white and coloured styrofoam) and glass. In 2016, after their optical sorting units were installed, they also installed a cold-press polystyrene processing plant, by which styrofoam material is compacted, without melting, up to a 50-to-1 ratio. "We make it into 50-pound blocks that are about four feet long by one foot by one foot, which we stack on a pallet," explains Kraft. "We're actually shipping that to Europe and it's been a huge bene t for the Region." Formerly, they marketed polystyrene with their mixed plastics, but that devalued the mixed plastics. "Today, I probably couldn't even sell mixed plastics containing styrofoam," he says. "The reason we put the system in was to process the styrofoam separately f rom our mixed plastics. Now we get over $50/ton for our mixed plastics and over $250/ton for polystyrene EPS blocks." He says their recovered polystyrene is made into pellets, and then into new products such as crown moulding and picture f rames. "Something that we may look at down the road is: does it make sense for us to do some pelletizing of our styrofoam, rather than shipping it all overseas for pelletizing? Maybe it makes sense to do it right here in Ontario."

Kraft explains that while most MRFs throughout Canada accept glass and many are investing in cleanup systems so they can move the material to end markets, those markets remain very strict on quality. Glass processors charge anywhere f rom $10 per ton up to $60 per ton, plus f reight. Niagara Recycling, on the other hand, keeps it in-house, processes it and sells it for over $100 per ton. "We sell our Ecoglass in 50-pound bags, with our product information in French and English. We sell it in bulk, loose, dump trailers, and in large 3,000-pound sacks for some industrial customers. We sell about 90 percent into the sandblasting market. Our process makes great economic sense for glass, even when you factor in the cost of processing it. We are saving money on shipping it and not paying a glass processor to take it." Kraft explains that their process rst uses magnets to remove any small caps, lids, nails, etc. that were missed by the container line electromagnet. Then glass goes through a primary grinding stage where it is broken down to about a three-quarter-inch material. From there it goes through a series of screens and more magnets which remove even smaller pieces of metal. "Then it goes in the dryer, which is where our process starts to move away f rom a traditional cleanup system," he explains. "Once we have the moisture down to less than half a percent, then that glass passes over a large multi-deck screen and makes three different product sizes that we're able to sell. We have a coarse, a medium and a ne. The largest size glass that we make is about a 16-mesh - a little bit bigger than a sand particle." He says in total they process over 5,000 tons a year of glass, adding that because the material is very dirty when it comes in, contaminated with plastic, lids, labels, food waste and other residue, they do depend on their equipment and process to do a lot of cleaning and vacuuming to get that contamination out. "When you sell it as a sandblasting abrasive you can't have clumps of paper in there because it will jam their sandblasting nozzle." Kraft continues, "We have a sustainable market for glass where we're actually in control of our own destiny. And we have an ef cient process. We don't have to worry about having a market that may change, or where they may not take our material in the future. We've developed a very solid market for glass, which is a great accomplishment for Niagara." Niagara Recycling uses twin Titech optical sorters to eject browns, cartons, lm and plastic bottles f rom the bre line at up to 24 metric tonnes/hour. Optical upgrades with end markets in mind In late December 2015, the Niagara Region implemented a $2.5 million upgrade at the Niagara Page 62 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 7/17 Recycling facility. "We became one of the rst in Ontario to use twin optical sorters to positively eject brown materials (cardboard/boxboard)," says Kraft. "At that time there was nobody else doing that at the level that we were proposing." He explains that prior to their upgrade, bre was manually sorted after the OCC separator. Now, the twin optical sorters are not only effectively ejecting cardboard and boxboard, they also eject items that shouldn't be in the bre stream, including polycoat cartons, loose lm, and all plastic bottles and containers. "Each optical sorter operates at a throughput rate of 12 tons per hour, so up to 24 tons per hour over the two units, which is very impressive," says Kraft. Niagara Recycling's optical sorting system was installed by Van Dyk, using Titech optical sorters - the largest models currently on the market at nine feet wide (shown above, opposite) While Van Dyk won the bid to put in the upgrade on the bre optical sorting system, Kraft says the rest of the facility, since it was commissioned in 2004, is a combination of equipment and technology f rom various suppliers. At the time they installed the optical sorters in late 2015, he says the objective was mainly to help create better quality material for the local mill, Resolute Forest Products. "We made the investment to improve our quality. At that time our quality was upwards of 30 percent contamination, consisting of all the plastic, garbage, as well as cardboard and boxboard. But within a year of installation, Resolute went out of business. All of a sudden, now we had to look at the export market because there wasn't suf cient domestic capacity to take our recovered newspaper. "Then all the ‘problems' started happening in 2017 with China's announcement about restricted imports of mixed recycled materials." At that point he says because of their 2015 upgrade, they were well suited to be able to tackle the challenges associated with the new quality requirements. "Our quality went f rom about 30 percent contamination, including prohibitives and outthrows, down to about 12 percent, which for us was tremendous," he says. With close to a 60 percent improvement in quality, it ensured they were able to continue to ship to export markets, other than China. "With that investment in our optical sorters in 2015, taking a risk at that time on this equipment, it worked out very well in terms of being able to meet the current tougher market speci cations." Currently, Kraft says about 80 percent of Niagara Recycling's newspaper is exported to markets including Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam and India. Page 63 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 8/17 With respect to plastics, the story is a bit different. "We have not shipped any of our residential Blue Box program plastics to China in almost 10 years, and never to India," he says. "We have sustainable markets right here in Ontario and the U.S. for our plastic lm, our mixed plastics, our bulky rigid plastics and our PET and HDPE. We don't have any dependence on foreign markets for plastics." Still, according to Kraft, the recent news about India planning to close its doors to mixed materials, with a similar policy to China's, leaves a lot of questions about what effect it will have on pricing in North America. He says MRFs that were shipping to India may now have to look at possibly re- routing into facilities in Canada and the U.S., which could end up driving prices down and be a big concern for MRF operators. "I don't know how that's going to impact things here, but it certainly will impact companies that ship commercial grade lms and other grades overseas," Kraft says. "It's going to probably put renewed emphasis on the need for more advanced processing here in North America in terms of pelletizing plastics. Once you pelletize, you can ship more into foreign markets." New stewardship Policy - uncertain future In Ontario, currently, the province is looking at switching to a 100 percent Stewardship-funded program for residential recyclables, similar to what has been done in other provinces in Canada. For Niagara Recycling, Kraft says the prospect of this new policy in Ontario evokes some red ags with respect to the future of their operation. "Right now, in the province of Ontario, Stewardship Ontario pays 50 percent of the costs of our programs for collection and recovery of blue box materials," explains Kraft. "In British Columbia, about ve years ago they switched to a 100 percent Stewardship-based program. Now they want to go to a similar 100 percent stewardship-run program here." He notes though that Ontario is somewhat different f rom B.C., because of the difference in scope. "Ontario produces at least three times as much recyclable volumes as B.C., so it means larger scale impacts." He explains that Stewards in Ontario currently pay more than $125 million a year to municipalities to offset 50 percent of their recycling program costs. The money is removed f rom the residential tax base. With the proposed new program, that number could double to about $250 million a year. "If you talk to the Stewards or the Provincial Environment Ministry, basically the philosophy is that if the Stewards are going to pay for the program entirely, they want full control of the collection contracts and MRF processing operations," says Kraft. "What it means potentially is that there is going to be consolidation, there's going to be local job losses. Companies like ours who help the community through our social enterprise model - the small companies, the non-pro ts who really Page 64 of 401 5/31/2019 Niagara Recycling is building on a unique model for MRFs - Recycling Product News https://www.recyclingproductnews.com/article/30696/niagara-recycling-is-building-on-a-unique-model-for-mrfs 9/17 are the engines that started recycling back in the ‘70s and ‘80s here - will likely all be gone and it's going to be only the ‘big players' that are going to be running our recycling facilities." He says as far as he understands at this early stage, what the provincial government is aiming to do is have a centralized f ramework that essentially takes the number of MRFs in Ontario f rom about 53 to as low as 10 or 12. So far, a strategy has been developed based on what is referred to as catchment areas. Due to their location and population, it is most likely the nearest centralized facility would be situated in the Hamilton area. He says if this happens, Niagara Region material may have to be hauled to Hamilton at the Stewards' expense, for example. "Then what opportunities will we have to stay in the business?" asks Kraft. "The Niagara Region would have to bid on processing its own material, and if Stewards don't like the price they get f rom Niagara, then our region would be stuck with a potentially empty facility - a stranded asset as the Stewards refer to it." He says the current government is pushing this agenda, and it is expected that a new program will be rolled out by late 2021. "That's the latest I've heard and read and that's a pretty quick timetable to start transitioning municipalities over to a 100 percent Stewardship based program." He also notes that while Stewards would only be responsible for the residential recycling program, which does not include commercial materials, they would likely also lose some of their current third party contracts with municipalities, as these would be captured in the other catchment areas established by the Stewards. "It's disappointing that the Stewards and Province would not consider a hybrid model in which municipalities who own MRFs and prefer to do their own curbside collection and processing would have a choice to receive an increase in funding f rom the current 50 percent to about 80 percent, and could then continue to operate their recycling program on this basis. This would be a win-win situation for municipalities and smaller operators such as us. The Stewards would save about 20 percent in funding and in Niagara, we would make up some of the difference through our unique programs such as on-site shredding, glass processing and other commercial programs. There would also be no impact in recycling service levels to the taxpayers in Niagara." "If we have 53 plants in Ontario and all of a sudden we're switching to a smaller number of massive MRFs, fully automated, with robotics and optical sorters, f rom a business perspective it makes sense. But it's a huge change and it could have local economic impacts for smaller MRFs and smaller communities across the province. He says questions that should be asked include: how do we protect some of the smaller facilities that are out there? For some of the MRFs that have been here for many years, how do we ensure minimal job losses?

Still, for Kraft, despite the uncertainty of the future, overall he remains optimistic. He can certainly attest to the fact that Niagara Recycling has had an incredible journey over its 41 years in business, diverting more than 1.5 million tons of recyclables f rom land ll, and providing huge bene ts to their region. "Life is full of uncertainty," he says. "But I am optimistic we will nd a new place in the future, and that we'll ensure continued job opportunities and support for developmentally challenged individuals in our community."

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: City Clerk SUBJECT: CD-2019-07 Fee Waiver Applications Day of 1000 Musicians / Oasis Showcase of Arts & Culture RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council approve the Fee Waiver Applications for: i) Day of 1000 Musicians event in the amount of $3167.28.00 for the waiver of fees associated with rentals at the Gale Centre. ii) Oasis- Showcase of Arts & Culture event in the amount of $400.00 for the road closure labour and materials costs. 2) That Council declare the Oasis Showcase of Arts & Culture as an “Event of Municipal Significance” in order for the requester to obtain a Special Occasion Liquor Licence from the AGCO. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Niagara Falls City Council adopted the Council Discretionary Spending report on February 12, 2019. This included the Fee Waiver Policy that accompanied the report. Previously, the process for waiving fees was that a user group would send through communication to the Clerk’s office to be placed on the agenda for the consideration of Council. In some cases, very little information was known about a particular event, including the actual dollar figure that Council was being asked to consider waiving. The City of Niagara Falls is committed to supporting volunteer, community-based organizations in order to maintain a qualit y of life for its residents. This policy aims to protect the City’s assets, interests, goals, facilities, programs and services while also Page 69 of 401 2 CD-2019-07 June 4, 2019 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 re lated 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 BACKGROUND A review of the first attached completed Fee Waiver Application from the organizers of “Day of 1000 Musicians” shows that the request is for the waiver of fees for the use of the Gale Centre on Saturday July 20, 2019. The rental costs amount to a fee of $3167.28 A review of the application depicts that the organization is focused on putting on a promotional event for the community, which is in keeping with the intent of the policy. The Event Description details the following: To create a positive community experience for both performers and spectators. A free cultural event. A grant has been approved from the Niagara Falls Cultural Funding Program. Some sponsorships have also been attained. The event is wheelchair accessible. Page 70 of 401 3 CD-2019-07 June 4, 2019 A review of the second attached completed Fee Waiver Application from the Downtown Board of Management shows that the request is for a Road Closure on Sunday June 9, 2019, which would entail the waiving of labour, material costs estimated by Transportation Services staff to be in the amount of $400.00. A review of the application depicts that the organization is a not -for-profit group, which is in keeping with the intent of the policy. The Event Description details the following: The event caters to the Arts & Culture community and promotes local artists. Road Closure is essential for this event to be successful. The fee waiver allows the event to remain cost effective for participants. Celebrate Old Downtown has also asked that Council declare the event as one of municipal significance in order that they may obtain their liquor licence through the AGCO. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS/BUDGET IMPACT If both applications are approved, the combined total of $3,567.28 in fee waivers would be withdrawn from the $40,000.00 set aside in the 2019 operating budget. The chart below shows a breakdown, to date, of the fee waivers approved by Council in 2019.

Recently approved Terravita Subdivision Page 86 of 401 Background •Initially, the zoning by-law amendment was requested to change the zoning of the lands from Development Holding (DH) to the Residential 1E (R1E) zone. The R1E zone allows parcels with 12 metre frontages. •A Neighbourhood Open House was held on November 15, 2018 to introduce the proposal to surrounding property owners. •The meeting was attended by 6 area property owners who voiced concerns about the size of the parcels the requested zoning would allow. The owners felt the smaller parcels would not be compatible with the lots that already exist on Marinelli Drive. They felt the zoning should be changed to one that would require the parcels to have the same frontage as theirs. Concerns about additional traffic were also expressed. •The requested zoning would have allowed the eventual creation of 11 new parcels for detached dwellings. Page 87 of 401 Background •The same concerns raised at the neighbourhood meeting were expressed at Council at the Public Meeting held on February 26, 2019. As a result of the concerns expressed, Council deferred its consideration of the zoning amendment application. •Since the matter was deferred, the applicants revised their application and are now requesting the lands to be rezoned to the Residential 1D Density zone which would require new parcels to have a minimum lot frontage of 15 metres and a lot area of 450 square metres. •The result of the revised zone change would be the future creation of 10 new parcels with 15 metres of frontage rather than 11 new parcels with 12 metre frontages.

The predominant use of land in areas designated Residential is to be for dwelling units of all types catering to a wide range of households. •The Official Plan encourages the development of vacant land and under-utilized parcels so they are used more efficiently. •The existing and planned infrastructure can support the proposed development; and •The proposed development will contribute to the City’s required short-term housing supply and assist the City in meeting its 40% intensification targets for the Built-Up Area.

Page 90 of 401 Conclusion Application is recommended to be approved: •The proposal complies with the Provincial and Regional policies; •The requested zoning is also within the intent and purpose of the City’s Official Plan; and •The requested zoning will ensure the future lots and dwellings to be built thereon are compatible with the surrounding and emerging neighbourhood.

Page 92 of 401 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2019-35 AM-2018-019, Revised Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6666 Mountain Road Applicant: Emilie and Brian Wetherall Agent: Peter Colosimo RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the revised Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone the lands Residential 1D Density (R1D) to allow the creation of 10 new lots for detached dwellings. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background On February 26, Council held a Public Meeting to consider a Zoning By-law amendment application AM-2018-019, which was submitted by Emilie and Brian Wetherall to rezone the lands known as 6666 Mountain Road (Schedule 1) to Residential 1E Density (R1E). The amendment was requested to facilitate the future severance of the lands into 11 parcels for detached dwellings. The applicant was proposing to create the parcels in several phases. In the first phase, consent applications would have been filed to allow creation of 6 new parcels fronting onto Marinelli Drive. Later phases would involve the creation of 3 additional parcels fronting onto Marinelli Drive and 2 additional parcels fronting onto an extension of Lucia Drive (Schedule 2). At the Public Meeting a number of residents opposed the application, claiming that the proposed parcels with 12 metre frontages were not compatible with the existing lots in the neighbourhood. They noted that the lots located on the east side of Marinelli Drive have lot frontages of 15 metres. As a result of the concerns expressed, Council deferred its consideration of the application. The applicants have since revised the proposal to address the resident’s concerns and are now requesting the lands to be rezoned to the Residential 1D Density (R1D) zone which would require parcels to have a minimum lot frontage of 15 metres and minimum lot area of 450 square metres. As a result of the zone change, the number of parcels has been reduced from 11 to 10 (Schedule 3). Proposal Emilie and Brian Wetherall have submitted a revised Zoning By-law amendment application for a 0.71 hectare parcel of land known as 6666 Mountain Road, shown on Schedule 1. The applicants are requesting the lands to be rezoned to permit the future severance of the lands to create new parcels for detached dwellings in several phases. In the first phase, consent applications will be filed to allow the creation of 7 parcels fronting onto Marinelli Drive. Later Page 93 of 401 2 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 phases will involve the creation of 1 additional parcel fronting onto Marinelli Drive and 2 additional parcels fronting onto an extension of Lucia Drive. The lands are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicants had previously requested the lands to be rezoned to the Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone. Now the applicants are requesting the lands to be rezoned to the Residential 1D Density zone (R1D), which permits detached dwellings on parcels with 15 metres of frontage. Planning staff recommends the revised application, for the following reasons: The proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies as the proposal represents a more efficient use of urban serviced land and existing infrastructure and will also aid the City in meeting its 40% intensification targets for the Built -Up Area; The lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The predominant use of land in areas designated Residential shall be for dwelling units of all types catering to a wide range of households; The Official Plan encourages the development of vacant land and under-utilized parcels for more efficient use; The requested zoning will ensure compatibility with the established neighbourhood; The existing and planned infrastructure can support the proposed development; and The proposed development will contribute to the City’s required short-term housing supply. Site Conditions Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands currently contain a detached dwelling known as 6666 Mountain Road. Lands to the east, west and north contain detached dwellings. The Haulage Road Recreational Trail abuts the southerly limit of the subject lands. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara - The lands are located within the Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and within the Built-Up Area under 2017 Places to Grow, for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). The PPS directs growth to settlement areas and encourages efficient use of land, resources, infrastructure, and public service facilities that are planned or available. The proposal meets the intent of the Provincial policy through the introduction of additional dwellings in the neighbourhood. The proposed development will also aid the City in meeting the 40% intensification target for the Built-up Area. - The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Regional Official Plan (ROP) provide direction for the conservation of significant cultural heritage and Page 94 of 401 3 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 archaeological resources. A Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment dated September 12, 2018, prepared by Detritus Consulting Ltd was submitted with the application. The study area for the assessment includes the lands south of Lot 1. No archaeological resources were documented during Stage 2 assessment and therefore no further archaeological assessment is required for the study area. The A Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment has been submitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports (MTCS) as a condition of licensing. A letter from the Ministry confirming that all licensing and resource conservation requirements have been met, has not been received; the applicant shall not proceed with any site alteration until the clearance letter from the Ministry is submitted to the Region. Further, if the applicant wishes to develop lands north of Lot 1, a subsequent archaeological assessment would be required. This requirement can also be dealt with at the consent stage. - Regional staff has reviewed the noise feasibility studies recently completed for other development proposals located in the vicinity of subject lands. Based on findings of the reports, the Region has determined that there is no mitigation measures required for the proposed development. - The subject lands are currently being used for residential purposes. Based on the review of aerial images from 1954-1955, it appears that a portion of the property was previously used for agricultural purposes, potentially fruit trees. The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has found contaminants (e.g. lead and arsenic) exceeding Provincial limits in agricultural uses where older-generation pesticides may have been used in the past. As such, the Region identifies the potential for adverse effects, as defined in the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Prior to proceeding with any residential activity on the subject lands the site shall be assessed for potential contaminants and remediated as necessary, followed by the filing of Record of Site Condition if needed. The Region would accept an opinion from a Qualified Person under the regulation of the EPA as to whether there is potential for contaminants on this site, prior to proceeding with lot creation. - The subject property has frontage on Regional Road 101 (Mountain Road). This section of road has a substandard road allowance width of approximately 23.15 metres. The designated road allowance is 26.2 metres as identified in the Regional Official Plan (ROP). As part of future consent application the Region would request a 3.05 metre road widening. - Any extension of municipal sanitary or storm sewer (extension of Lucia Drive) will require Environmental Compliance Approval through MECP. Municipal Works, Transportation Services, Parks Design, Fire Services - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on November 15, 2018 and was attended by 6 residents, the applicant, a representative of the applicant, along with City staff. Page 95 of 401 4 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 The residents voiced concerns regarding the proposed parcels being smaller than the existing lots on the east side of Marinelli Drive. They feel the smaller parcels are not compatible with the existing lot fabric and that the proposal will result in a reduction in the property value of their homes. The residents opined that the proposed parcels should be zoned Residential 1C Density (R1C) that exists on the east side of Marinelli Drive, instead of the requested Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone, which allows smaller parcels. The residents also raised concern regarding the additional traffic that would be generated by the proposed development. One resident wanted to know about the size of the proposed dwellings, out of concern as that they may impact the value of their homes. One resident (6680 Mountain Road) requested installation of a fence along the common property lines between her property and the proposed development. The applicant’s agent mentioned that the proposed land use is compatible with the existing residential development as both the developments consist of detached dwellings. He further mentioned that the building setback for the requested Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone (e.g. front yard depth, interior side yard with, height of the dwellings etc.) is the same as the Residential 1C Density (R1C) zone on the east side of Marinelli Drive. As such the streetscape and the built form along Marinelli Drive would be maintained. Regarding the size of the dwellings, the applicant’s agent mentioned that the dwellings will be similar to those in the surrounding neighbourhoods. He also mentioned that his client is requesting the same zoning as was recently approved for the Terravita subdivision located east of Marinelli Drive. Regarding the request for the installation of a new fence; the agent mentioned that his client would not be installing a fence along the common lot lines and it would be up to the future property owner to install the fence. City staff mentioned that typically the zoning by-law does not require installation of a fence between two detached dwellings . Staff also mentioned that Mountain Road is a Regional arterial road, which has the capacity to carry large volumes of traffic. As the volume of traffic generated by the proposed development is not significant, the Region has not requested the applicant to complete a traffic impact study. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. These policies direct municipalities to facilitate residential intensification within urban areas to help meet intensification targets. The subject lands are located within the Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and within the Built- Up Area under the Growth Plan. The subject lands are currently underutilized. The proposed development is a form of residential intensification promoted by the Province and will aid the City in achieving the 40% intensification target within the Built-Up Area. 2. Official Plan Page 96 of 401 5 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 The subject lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The Plan contains a hierarchy of density guidelines for different types of residential development. The Plan allows the development of a variety of housing types, including detached and semi-detached dwellings, street townhouses, block townhouses and other compatible housing forms up to a maximum density of 40 units per hectare with a minimum density of 20 units per hectare along local and collector roads. The density of the project is 18.5 units per hectare. Although the overall density is relatively low, the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding low-density residential land uses. The proposed development is similar to other residential developments in the neighbourhood in terms of density, building mass, setbacks and appearance. The proposal will assist the City in meeting future housing needs in this district. As such, the development is considered to be within intent of the Official Plan. 3. Zoning By-law Amendment The lands affected by the zoning amendment are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is now requesting the zoning of the lands to be changed to the Residential 1D Density (R1D) zone. The proposal would comply with all the regulations of the R1D zone. The proposal to rezone the lands Residential 1D Density (R1D) zone is compatible with the lands located on the east side of Marinelli Drive which are zoned Residential 1C Density (R1C) zone. Below is a chart comparing the regulations of the R1D and R1C zones. Regulations R1D zone R1C zone Minimum lot area 450 sq. m 550 sq. m Minimum lot frontage 15 m (interior lot ) 18 m (corner lot) 15 m (interior lot ) 18 m (corner lot) Minimum front yard depth 6 m 6 m Minimum rear yard depth 7.5 m 7.5 m Interior side yard width 1.2 m 1.2 m Exterior side yard width 4.5 m 4.5 m Lot coverage 45% 45% Minimum landscaped open space 30% 30% Maximum height of the building 10 m 10 m Maximum number of detached dwellings per lot 1 1 The request to have the lands rezoned to R1D can be supported for the following reasons: The building setbacks are the same for both zones. The built-form for detached dwellings on both the east and west side of Marinelli Drive will be the same. The 6 metre front yard setback for the existing and proposed dwellings will achieve a consistent streetscape for Marinelli Drive. Page 97 of 401 6 PBD-2019-35 June 4, 2019 The lot area provision of the by-law is to ensure adequate amenity area is available on-site and the built-form is compatible with the surrounding land uses. A different lot area requirement will have no effect on the amount of outdoor amenity area. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will generate development charge contributions and property tax revenue for the City. There are no other financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed development supports the Vibrant and Well Planned City Strategic Priority.

Page 131 of 401 CAO-2019-8 June 4, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO-2019-08 Funding Request for Walk-in Mental Health Clinic for Youth in Niagara Falls RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that: 1) Council approve the request for one-time funding of $20,000 and enter into an agreement to support a new mental health service for youth in Niagara Falls, in partnership with Pathstone Mental Health; and 2) The City secure a space to hold the clinic in Niagara Falls that will be safe, accessible and ensure patient and family confidentiality. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls currently has a gap in services for mental health, particularly for youth. Pathstone Mental Health has come forward to offer a mental health urgent/walk-in clinic for youth in Niagara Falls one day per week at a one-time funding cost of $20,000 to the City, plus provision of suitable space to hold the clinic. BACKGROUND Pathstone Mental Health, which provides mental health services for children, youth, and families of Niagara up to age 18, is offering to provide a mental health urgent/walk-in clinic for youth in Niagara Falls called the “Hear & Now Walk-in Clinic”. The Clinic would be open to those from ages six up until the day before their eighteenth birthday who are: • feeling sad, worried or angry; Page 132 of 401 2 CAO-2019-08 June 4, 2019 • having fights with parent(s)/caregiver(s); • being bullied; • dealing with a personal issue; • having thoughts of self-harm; • getting in trouble at school, home, or in the community. This one-on-one mental health service would be provided under the guidance of a Pathstone Mental Health clinician, one day a week between the hours of 11:30am and 7:30pm. Parents and caregivers could also use the walk-in clinic for children under the age of six, if they are concerned about child related ages and stages, are constantly arguing with their child, or are worried about their child’s social and emotional challenges. The City would be required to secure a space to hold the clinic in Niagara Falls that will be safe, accessible and ensure patient and family confidentiality. During the program, Pathstone Mental Health would collect data regarding decreased wait times for assessment, and lowered rates of suicide and suicidal ideation. This would strengthen the Clinic’s ability to secure other, sustainable, funding sources on a go-forward basis. Pathstone is offering this program to all municipalities in the Region, and to date, Port Colborne, Welland and Fort Erie have indicated their interest in participating in their respective communities. ANALYSIS/ RATIONALE Immediate mental health counselling for children/youth and their parents/caregivers would prevent many from having to access programs as they progress toward adulthood. This service would provide an early intervention model that would help youth to get into programs much earlier. This service has no fee, no appointments are necessary, and no health card is required. Removing these barriers would make it much easier for youth or their families to access this walk-in model of urgent intervention. Data illustrating the success of the program, as evidenced by a decrease in wait times to mental health programming and other measurable metrics, would be provided by Pathstone to City Council at year end. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Approval of the mental health urgent/walk-in clinic for youth in Niagara Falls one day per week would require the City of Niagara Falls to enter into a contract agreement with Page 133 of 401 3 CAO-2019-08 June 4, 2019 Pathstone Mental Health at a one-time cost of $20,000, to be funded from the Physician Recruitment budget. The term of this contract would be one calendar year. In addition, should a suitable space to hold the clinic not be available within City facilities, rent for once a week clinic space would be the City’s responsibility. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This initiative supports Council’s Strategic Priority of a 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. This partnership will support the City’s efforts in advancing enhanced health services planning in the community. Sourcing innovative ways to bring necessary services to the community is important, particularly in light of health care service delivery changes. Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 134 of 401 F-2019-24 June 4, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2019-24 OLG Funding Report – Capital Projects RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council amend the 2019 Capital Budget to include the additional projects proposed in Attachment 1 totaling $6,134,200 to be funded as follows: Operating $ 72,500 Water 900,000 OLG 3,297,660 Reserves 1,268,800 External 595,240 Total $6,134,200 2. That Council approve the transfer of $479,137 or 2% of the OLG funding to the Future Hospital Reserve Fund. 3. That Council approve the payment of $250,000 of OLG funding to the YMCA as a contribution towards the Phase 2 refresh as presented to Council on May 14, 2019, which included the YMCA’s offer to extend the free track use for Niagara Falls residents to be year round. 4. That Council reconsider the earlier requested recommendation from February 26, 2019 to approve the ordering of one (1) fire tanker in 2019 with payment, funding and delivery to occur in 2020 for a total of $550,000. 5. That staff report back during the summer with a full reconciliation of the OLG reserve under the new agreement to date, including confirmation of spending allocations to date per the Council adopted five key areas of expenditures that funds should be used for. These include: 1) Property Tax Relief 2) Future Niagara Falls Hospital 3) Capital Asset Investments 4) Economic Development Initiatives 5) NRPS funding. Page 135 of 401 2 F-2019-24 June 4, 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the City of Niagara Falls approved the new Municipal Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) with an effective date of April 1, 2013. This agreement significantly increased the City’s hosting fees from the previous agreement. The City has recently received the City’s Q1/OLG’s Q4 payment for 2019 amounting to $4,690,534. This brings the total amount the City received for OLG’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 to $23,956,867 ($26,330,001 – 2018). Since the inception of the agreement, staff has updated Council regularly on the commitments and use of the funds received. Attachment 1 provides a summary of the projects requested to be funded in this second round of the capital budget for a total of $6,134,200 using a variety of funding sources including OLG funds. Staff are also recommending that a transfer to the future hospital reserve of $479,137 or 2% of the OLG monies received be approved and that a payment of $250,000 to the YMCA for the phase 2 refresh presented to Council May 14, 2019 which included the YMCA’s offer to extend free track use for Niagara Falls residents to be year round be approved. Lastly, Staff is asking Council to reconsider the previous recommendation to order one (1) fire tanker in 2019 with payment, funding and delivery to occur in 2020 for a total of $550,000. The OLG spending allocations for this year are consistent with direction Staff have previously received. Specifically: property tax relief, future Niagara Falls hospital, capital asset investments, economic development initiatives and NRPS funding. Staff is currently in the final stages of completing a thorough review of the OLG spending to date under the new agreement and will report back to Council with further information during the summer. BACKGROUND In September 2013, Council approved the Municipal Contribution Agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). This Agreement increased the hosting fee to the municipality for the two casinos located in Niagara Falls. The funding period is based on the Province’s fiscal year, specifically April 1 st to March 31st. Payments, based on a percentage of gaming revenues, are received by the City each quarter. Page 136 of 401 3 F-2019-24 June 4, 2019 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City has recently received the City’s Q1/OLG Q4 payment for 2019 amounting to $4,690,534. This brings the total amount the City received for OLG’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 to $23,956,867 ($26,330,001 – 2018). The purpose of this report is to allocate funding to capital projects which are presently unfunded. To assist Council in making prudent allocation decisions amongst competing departmental priorities, directors were asked to prioritize the additional capital projects identified in the “Projects without Funding by Priority” list for their departments. The projects that are recommended are based on this prioritization and only those projects that are ready to proceed at this time and meet critical Operating or Capital needs are being advanced. The following projects being recommended for funding were not contained on the 2019 “Projects without Funding by Priority” listing for a variety of reasons: 1. Coronation Centre Kitchen Expansion - $70,000 was not submitted for 2019 capital budget in error, thus did not get considered for funding or moved to “Projects without Funding by Priority” listing. 2. King Eddy Fencing - $50,000 fencing was to follow tree removals which were not previously a priority however due to many fallen limbs over the winter the trees are being removed now and a new fence is required. 3. Firemen’s Park - $200,000 currently the amphitheater is cut into the ground. Project proposes formalizing seating to make it safer, irrigation, new entrance signage and landscaping. 4. Gale Centre Compressor - $110,000 it was identified that the City should consider storing a backup compressor on site in the event of another compressor failure to reduce the possibility of lost ice and the lost revenues that would accompany that situation. Lastly, Council needs to be aware of further information regarding the $550,000 order of a tanker requested in the first round of capital approved March 19, 2019. The motion made March 19 regarding this matter was as follows: Ordered on the motion of Councillor Vince Kerrio, seconded by Councillor Jim Diodati, that the Fleet Equipment Replacement namely, the ordering of the fire tanker and 2 60 foot transit buses be put on hold until later in 2019. Carried unanimously Page 137 of 401 4 F-2019-24 June 4, 2019 Based on conversation during that previous capital budget discussion, Staff believe Council intended to put this on hold until after the Regional Review is complete however Staff wish to make Council aware that it takes 12 months from the date of order to receive a tanker. This new tanker would replace a 1999 tanker which has reached its useful life of 20 years. The City should maintain a schedule that complies with the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) recommendations on the replacement of vehicles. In order for the City to receive good Insurance Grading the City needs to be compliant with the FUS recommendations: Front line units in service for 15 years Secondary service for an additional 5 years The City currently has two tankers, a 1999 International and a 2001 International. Due to call volume being low, it was decided by previous Chiefs that the City could stretch its tanker apparatus life expectancy to 20 years. Our current Fire Chief believes we should maintain the current practice of replacing the pumper/aerial after 15 years front line, an extra 5 years for reserve apparatus, and tankers front line after 20 years. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Staff are proposing to amend the capital budget to add expenditures totaling $6,134,200 as outlined in Attachment 1 to be funded as follows: Operating $ 72,500 Water 900,000 OLG 3,297,660 Reserves 1,268,800 External 595,240 Total $6,134,200 Staff are also proposing to allocate $479,137 to the hospital reserve and $250,000 to the YMCA. If the ordering of one fire tanker is approved Council is pre-committing 2020 funding from the 2020 Capital Budget.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2019-25 Development Charges Background Study RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Council determines that no further public meeting under Section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, S.O. 1997, c. 27 is necessary with respect to the Development Charges Background Study dated March 29, 2019, as amended (the “Study”) or the proposed Development Charge By-law after having considered the submissions received at the public meeting held on April 30, 2019 in connection with the Study and taking into consideration any changes made to the proposed Development Charge By-law following the said public meeting, and further 2. THAT Council determines that the increase in the need for services attributable to the anticipated development as contemplated in the Study including any capital costs, will be met by updating the capital budget and forecast for the City of Niagara Falls, where appropriate, and further 3. THAT Council directs that the future excess capacity identified in the Study shall be paid for by the development charges contemplated in the said Study, or other similar charges, and further 4. THAT Council approves the Study and proposed rate structure in the By-law included in tonight’s agenda. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff along with Hemson Consulting has developed a Development Charges (DC) Background Study as part of the process to provide a new Development Charges Bylaw. The current bylaw expires on July 8, 2019. The City must approve the new bylaw before that date to continue to collect development charges. The DC Background Study was made available on the City’s website on April 1, 2019 and a consultant’s presentation was made to Council on March 19, 2019 on the work performed. The proposed DC By-law was made available on the City’s website on April 16, 2019. A Page 164 of 401 2 F-2019-25 June 4, 2019 statutory public meeting was held on April 30, 2019 as part of the City Council meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Development Charges Act (DCA). The bylaw proposes a rate increase of 2% or $198 for single-detached residential units. In contract, the non-residential rates are proposed to increase by 2% or $0.82 per square metre Outside the Core Tourist Area and 2% or $0.43 per square meter inside the Core Tourist Area. BACKGROUND The Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA) and its associated Ontario Regulation 82/98 (O. Reg. 82/98) allow municipalities in Ontario to recover development-related capital costs from new development. The City of Niagara Falls is experiencing residential growth and is also an attractive location for a variety of non-residential development. The anticipated growth in Niagara Falls will increase the demand on all City services. The City needs to implement development charges to fund capital projects related to growth in the municipality so that development continues to be serviced in a fiscally responsible manner. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Process Followed City staff working along with Hemson consultants developed the DC background study. Staff provided details on expected growth related projects, reviewed each project’s time and costing for inclusion in the study. The background study was released and available on the City’s website April 1, 2019. A public meeting was held on April 30, 2019 as part of the City Council meeting. During this meeting, Hemson provided an overview of the background study and the proposed DC rates for the upcoming bylaw. Development Charges Calculations As indicated in the development of the DC Background Study, the consultant followed the applicable legislation in the determination of the rates. The calculation methodology was generally based on the following requirements: A forecast of the amount, type and location of development anticipated in the City The average capital service levels provided in the City over the ten-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study Identify the development related capital needs Page 165 of 401 3 F-2019-25 June 4, 2019 Determine what, if any, grants or other contributions are available to fund projects Determine what, if any, benefit there is to existing residents of each project Determine what, if any, reserves exist that are available to offset capital project costs Calculate the post period benefit of the project The DC Background Study provides a detailed analysis of these factors for each project. Finally, after all these steps were followed, the DC eligible costs that can be recovered was determined. These costs have been allocated to the residential sector and non- residential sector to determine the appropriate rates. Proposed Rates The chart below highlights the proposed rates as compared to the current charge: Current vs. Proposed Charges Development Type Calculated Charge Current Charge $ Change % Change Residential (per unit) Single & Semi-Detached $12,790 $12,592 $198 2% Non-Residential (per square metre) Outside CTA $43.15 $42.33 $0.82 2% Core Tourist Area $26.41 $25.98 $0.43 2% As the chart illustrates, the development charges for a residential single-detached unit is increasing by 2% from $12,592 to $12,790 per unit. The non-residential rate is allocated on a per square meter basis with the Core Tourist Area rate increasing by 2% and the non-residential rate Outside of the Core Tourist Area also increasing by 2%. Policy Changes Proposed No significant changes have been proposed in the 2019 DC By-Law. The minor changes that have been proposed are largely related to updating definitions for clarity and ease of administration. Page 166 of 401 4 F-2019-25 June 4, 2019 A summary of the proposed 2019 DC By-law policy changes is provided below: Definition of secondary suites; Definition and related exemption for the construction of single room occupancy units within existing buildings; Revised definition of garden suites (formally referred to as a “granny flat”); Revised definition for hotel/motel New exemption for the conversation of existing buildings and/or structures if no new gross floor area is created; New language added to provide clarification on the determination of the creation of additional residential units within existing structures; and Added additional rate schedules (e.g. split discounted and non-discounted services) to address potential changes imposed by Bill 108. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As indicated, a new DC by-law is required to be approved by Council before July 8, 2019 in order for the City to continue to collect development charges. The City’s DC rates are established to raise the required funds so as to construct the necessary municipal infrastructure to accommodate the growth in the City. The rates included in the bylaw are reflective of future capital projects, as well as include debt repayments for growth projects previously constructed, notably the Gale Centre and Garner/Grassybrook Pumping Stations (pages 91 and 157 of the 2019 DC Background Study dated March 29, 2019). As Council is aware, the rates proposed in the bylaw are intended to cover growth- related capital expenditures. To reduce the proposed rates, Council would be required to eliminate projects or fund the projects from other sources such as, taxation increases or water and sewer increases. Similarly, if the debt payment amounts included in the calculation of the fees are reduced, future taxation increases or wastewater user fees would need to be implemented to offset these charges. At the statutory public meeting, a comparison of DC charges amongst the City’s Regional counterparts was provided. The City of Niagara Falls is in the middle of the group, as far as residential charges are concerned although the data is historical and not reflective of new charges approved or being approved in the Region. Similarly, the City of Niagara Falls is in the middle of the group for non-residential rates.

Clark Page 168 of 401 MW-2019-15 June 4th, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2019-15 Cropp Street and Pettit Avenue Infrastructure Replacements - Cost Sharing RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve payment of the City share in the amount of $1,413,769.50 by December 31st, 2019 to be funded from pre-approval of a portion of the 2020 Capital Budget for the Cropp Street and Pettit Avenue Infrastructure Replacements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Developer for the Winzen Subdivision will replace aging watermain and sanitary sewers along Cropp Street and Pettit Avenue within the limits of the development to service 61 on-street townhomes. These replacements are necessary given the age, current condition and on-going operational/maintenance issues related to the existing infrastructure. The City will cost-share on these replacements through a standard condition within the Subdivider Agreement. An additional 155 meters of watermain and sanitary sewer beyond the limits of the development can be replaced at the same time (June 2019) and at the Developer’s expense if the City will pre-approve the estimated share of the total project costs from the 2020 Capital budget in the amount of $1,413,769.50 and reimburse the Developer by the end of year, 2019. A portion of this project may be eligible for development charges however specific funding allocations can be determined in 2020. By adding infrastructure replacements beyond those necessary to service the subdivision, the City will secure construction cost savings through economies of scale and the impact of construction to the existing residents will be mitigated by undertaking a larger single project to complete the works. BACKGROUND The Winzen Subdivision received draft approval effective on March 23, 2017. The 4.2 hectares of land located at 4825 Pettit Avenue will be developed with 61 on -street townhouse dwellings fronting onto Pettit Avenue and Cropp Street with a future development of stacked townhouse dwellings and apartment buildings behind. Lands to the south and east are occupied by single detached and semi-detached dwellings. Lands to the west are mainly used for automotive purposes. The CN railway abuts the land to the north. Page 169 of 401 2 MW-2019-15 June 4th, 2019 The existing cast iron watermains in the neighbourhood of the proposed developm ent including Cropp Street (Pettit Avenue – Dorchester Road) and Pettit Avenue (north limit – Cropp Street) are aging and have a record of poor flow conditions and coloured water complaints. It is unlikely that these mains in their current condition will have the necessary flow and pressure to support the new development nor will they be able to withstand 61 additional connections necessary to service the street front townhomes. The existing sanitary sewer on Cropp Street (Pettit Avenue – Dorchester Road) is an aging vitrified clay pipe. It is prone to sediment deposition and as such requires frequent maintenance. In its current condition, this sewer will likely not be able to withstand the addition of the thirty seven new sanitary laterals required to se rvice the townhomes proposed to front onto Cropp Street. Prior to the subject subdivision proposal, the watermains and sanitary sewers on Cropp Street and Pettit Avenue had not been identified as priority infrastructure replacements within the context of competing capital projects coupled with the fact that the existing operational issues can be managed. However, these watermains and sanitary sewers are not expected to adequately service the new townhomes in their current condition nor are they expected to hold up under construction of the additional service connections and as such must be replaced if the proposed development is to proceed. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Developer is eager to build the 61 on-street townhouse dwellings and will undertake construction of approximately 300 metres of watermain and sanitary sewer on Cropp Street and 215 meters on Pettit Avenue (north limit – Cropp Street) through a cost-sharing arrangement within the respective Subdivider Agreement. The Developer would like to start construction in early June 2019 , with the respective cost-sharing commitment to be advanced in the 2020 capital budget deliberations. As well as the 300 meters of Cropp Street watermain and sanitary sewer to be constructed by the Developer, there is an opportunity to include an additional 155 meters of watermain and sewer west of the limits of the subdivision to Dorchester Road. The Developer has agreed to construct these additional infrastructure replacements and front-end and carry the costs if the City is able to provide reimbursement by the end of 2019. By agreeing to the same, the City would benefit from an overall construction cost savings through economies of scale. Moreover, a single construction project (full length of Cropp Street (Pettit Avenue – Dorchester Road)) would mitigate disruption to the existing residents. Page 170 of 401 3 MW-2019-15 June 4th, 2019 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There is currently no approved funding for either the cost-share portion of the development-related infrastructure replacements or the additional 155 meters of watermain and sanitary sewer replacements on Cropp Street beyond the limits of the new subdivision. The cost-share amount including engineering fees and contingency is estimated to be $865,191.06 or approximately 40% of the total cost of the works. The additional replacements on Cropp Street is estimated to be $548,578.44 including engineering and a contingency allowance. The total project cost to the City is $1,413,769.50. This amount is recommended to be approved and funded through pre-approval from the 2020 Capital Budget. A portion of this project may be eligible for development charges however specific funding allocations can be determined in 2020. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This project and recommendation are in keeping with Council’s Strategic priorities for Infrastructure Sustainability that will accommodate growth. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-20 MADD Canada Memorial Sign Request RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the installation of the MADD Canada Memorial Sign on Biggar Road, following the applicant providing all of the required supporting documentation outlined in the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario policy document. 2. That Council approve the sign to be installed for duration no greater than 5 -years or until such time that the sign is in poor condition and needs to be removed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff have received a request for the installation of memorial signs from the families of the individuals who were involved in fatal collisions in 2017. The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MADD Canada that lays out the guidelines, process, qualification criteria and implementation of signing as identified in the attached policy. Staff is recommending that the same process is adhered to with respect to requests pertaining to the local road network. MADD Canada will be covering the costs for the sign production and installation. BACKGROUND Staff have received a request for the installation of memorial signs from the families of the individuals who were involved in fatal collisions in 2017. In both cases, the persons responsible have been convicted of Impaired Driving causing Death . The families are working with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to facilitate the memorial sign installations. The collisions occurred near the intersections of Mountain Road at Taylor Road and Biggar Road at Montrose Road, the latter is under the jur isdiction of the City of Niagara Falls. The families will have to coordinate through Niagara Region Staff to obtain consent to have memorial signs installed on regional right-of-way. Page 174 of 401 2 TS-2019-20 June 4, 2019 Over 1000 people are killed and over 60,000 people are injured by an impaired driver every year in Canada. After all these years and the promotions to stop drinking and driving, this problem persists. Since 2010, only the subject collision resulted in a fatal injury involving an impaired driver on City roads. MADD Canada was given permission by the Ministry of Transportation to erect signs on provincial highways where people have been killed by an impaired driver. MADD will also install signs if a municipality gives them permission. It is believed that these signs help in discouraging people from committing this crime. People see the sign and it reminds them of the terrible tragedy. It makes people think and realize that impaired driving is real and that it is preventable. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE MADD Canada is a non-profit organization that is committed to stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims resulting from collisions caused by impaired drivers. It is composed of volunteers who include not only mothers, but also fathers, friends, business professionals, experts in the anti-impaired driving field and concerned citizens. The purpose of this report is to permit the installation of small roadside memorial signs for MADD Canada at locations on local road network where fatal collisions have occurred and an impaired driver is alleged to be at fault. The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MADD Canada that lays out the guidelines, process, qualification criteria and implementation of signing as identified in the attached policy. Staff is recommending that the same process is adhered to with respect to requests pertaining to the local road network. In addition to the criteria outlined in the attached policy document, Staff is also recommending that the sign be installed for a duration no greater than 5-years or until such time that the sign is in poor condition and needs to be removed. Typically, traffic signs have a life span of 5 years at which time; they begin to fade, crack and deteriorate in condition and need to be removed / replaced. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with Staff’s recommendations. MADD Canada will be covering the costs for the sign production and installation.

It is composed of volunteers who include not only mothers, but also fathers, friends, business professionals, experts in the anti-impaired driving field and concerned citizens. The purpose of this policy is to permit the installation of small roadside memorial signs for MADD Canada at locations on provincial highways where fatal collisions have occurred and an impaired driver is alleged to be at fault. The Ministry has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MADD Canada that lays out the guidelines, process, qualification criteria and implementation of signing as identified in this policy. In the event of a discrepancy between the MOU and this policy, the MOU will govern. Guidelines This policy is specific to MADD Canada memorial signs only and does not govern the placement of other memorials or signs. The policy applies to fatal collisions on provincial highways that occurred after April 15, 2004 and the fatal collision shall have been caused by an impaired driver with the victim(s) death occurring within thirty (30) days of the collision. Process and Qualification Criteria MADD Canada will initiate the request for the memorial sign and will be responsible to obtain the following qualification information: • Proof that the driver involved in the fatal collision has been convicted of one or more of the following Criminal Code offences: a) Impaired Driving (S.253(a)) b) Driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration above 0.08% (S.253(b)) c) Impaired Driving causing Death (S.255(3)) Page 178 of 401 MADD Canada Memorial Signs on Provincial Highways Traffic Office, Ministry of Transportation Page 3 of 6 • Letter of permission from an immediate family member (spouse, child, stepchild, brother, stepbrother, sister, stepsister, mother, stepmother, father, stepfather) of the deceased. If another immediate member of the family objects (in writing) to the placement of a sign, they should be referred back to MADD and MADD may decide if they want to proceed with the installation of the sign. In the event that a local resident objects to the placement of the sign near their property, MADD can give consideration to moving the sign to another nearby location. If the sign has already been installed and an objection is received, there will no additional charge for the relocation of the sign. Once the above criteria has been met, the following information and documentation in support of a memorial sign request shall be provided by MADD Canada to the Ministry of Transportation, Head Office Traffic: 1) Location of the collision, including: o Highway number o Direction of travel o Distance from the nearest intersection/interchange, population centre, etc. 2) Date and time of the collision. 3) Letter from an immediate family member of the deceased confirming the name(s) of the deceased (first/common name and last name only – no nicknames allowed, such as John “Bubba” Smith). Memorial signs without a name will not be permitted. Names of pet animals will not be permitted on the memorial sign. 4) Death certificate of the victim(s). The information and documentation to be provided by MADD to the Ministry shall not be provided before ninety (90) days have elapsed following the date of conviction of a driver in order to allow the convicted driver an opportunity to appeal the conviction. No memorial shall be placed until all appeal rights of a convicted driver are exhausted. Ceremonies Ceremonies will not be permitted on highways with posted speeds of 100 km/h. Ceremonies on other highways may be arranged by MADD Canada following the installation of the sign, based on the following criteria: Page 179 of 401 MADD Canada Memorial Signs on Provincial Highways Traffic Office, Ministry of Transportation Page 4 of 6 • MADD Canada shall give the Ministry sufficient notice if a ceremony is planned and shall provide the following information: 1) Preferred location; 2) Preferred date; and 3) Documentation proving police support will be present. • Ceremonies shall be: 1) Held in a safe location identified by MADD Canada and approved by the Ministry; 2) Limited to a maximum of 15 minutes; 3) Held at an approved time/day (i.e. off-peak hours, daylight hours, on a weekend); 4) Accompanied by police and have the required traffic control shoulder operation, as outlined in OTM Book 7, Figure TL-6, for the duration of the ceremony; 5) A maximum of 3 passenger vehicles shall be allowed to park on the right shoulder (unless prohibited) in addition to the police cruiser that will be parked with its warning flashers activated. If the Ministry of Transportation deems that a public ceremony poses a threat to motorist safety, permission to have a ceremony will be denied. Other than the initial ceremony following the installation of a memorial sign, additional ceremonies (i.e. anniversary of the collision, birthday of the deceased, etc.) are not permitted. Plantings or Landscaping Planting or landscaping at the sign site is prohibited. Flowers and/or other small items may be placed at the sign site. Page 180 of 401 MADD Canada Memorial Signs on Provincial Highways Traffic Office, Ministry of Transportation Page 5 of 6 Implementation Sign Design and Installation Signs shall conform to the following design: MADD Canada Memorial Sign Sign Size: 600mm round (2’) 600 x 600mm tab (2’ x 2’) Retroreflective Sheeting: Type 1 MADD Canada Memorial Sign (Bilingual) Sign Size: 600mm round (2’) 600 x 600mm tab (2’ x 2’) Retroreflective Sheeting: Type 1 Multiple victims’ names from one incident can appear on the sign. The tab size can be increased to accommodate the additional names to a maximum of four names on one tab. If there are more names, a separate memorial sign and tab shall be installed at the same location under the same MADD Memorial Sign Permit. If there is more than one collision at the same location, the tab on the existing sign(s) will be modified to accommodate the additional name(s). An additional MADD Memorial Sign Permit shall not be required. Bilingual signs will be placed in areas designated by the French Language Services Act (FLSA). The sign will be manufactured and installed by the Ministry of Transportation. Only one sign will be installed in one direction of travel on the right side of the highway at the right edge of the shoulder, at or near the location of the collision. Page 181 of 401 MADD Canada Memorial Signs on Provincial Highways Traffic Office, Ministry of Transportation Page 6 of 6 The sign shall not obstruct other signs and may not be placed exactly where the collision occurred. While the ministry will endeavour to have the sign placed shortly after receipt of the required information and documentation, weather conditions or operations with higher priority may preclude manufacturing or installation of the sign for several months. The Ministry of Transportation will not permit signs to be installed in the median of any provincial highway. If the signs are to be installed in an active construction zone, the installation can be coordinated such that the signs are installed by the contractor, but delays in the installation may occur depending on whether work is being done in the area where the sign is to be placed. On highways with a core/collector system, the signs will only be placed on the right shoulder of the collector. Signs must be maintained in good condition. Fees MADD Canada shall be responsible for all fees associated with the manufacturing, installation and ongoing maintenance of the sign. The fee charged to MADD ($565 per sign) will include the cost of the Encroachment Permit provided by the Ministry. If a ceremony is held, MADD Canada shall also be responsible for the cost of police presence. *In the event that there are any discrepancies between this policy and the Memoradum of Understanding (MOU) between MADD Canada and the Ministry of Transportation, the MOU shall govern.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2019-22 Monthly Tax Receivables Report – April RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City’s property tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of April 30, 2019 were $26.6 million compared to $25.5 million in 2018. During April, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed increased slightly from 28.6% in 2018 to 28.8% in 2019. The City’s finance staff has begun the collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2019. There are currently ten properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tax collection for 2019 lags slightly behind the collection history for 2018. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at April 30, 2019 are $26.6 million. This represents an increase from $25.5 million in arrears for the same period in 2018. This table also breaks down the taxes outstanding by year. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for the residential and commercial property class. The chart shows the taxes owing from the residential and commercial property class has increased slightly from a year ago. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. At January 1, 2019, 293 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after four months of activity. This table shows 58.0% of the tax accounts or 170 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During April, eighteen accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including paid in full increased from 56.0% (March) to 58.0% (April). Page 184 of 401 2 F-2019-22 June 4, 2019 Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. During the month of April, three registered properties were redeemed and one property was registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 0.7% of the total taxes to be collected. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization’s financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at April 30, 2019 is 28.8% which is a slight increase of the 2018 value of 28.6%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-16 Marco Crescent at Moretta Drive Giovina Drive at Emma Street Intersection Control Reviews RECOMMENDATION That a stop sign is installed facing traffic south-eastbound on Marco Crescent at Moretta Drive and facing traffic south-westbound on Giovina Drive at Emma Street. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A stop sign is warranted at both locations to properly assign the right-of-way amongst motorists. BACKGROUND City Staff has received a request to investigate the feasibility of installing a stop sign on the minor street approach for traffic facing: South-eastbound on Marco Crescent at Moretta Drive; and, South-westbound on Giovina Drive at Emma Street. Both intersections currently operates under yield control. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Study results indicate that a stop control is warranted at each of the above intersections. The approach sight triangle requirement for intersections with yield signs is not met, thus 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 Page 204 of 401 2 TS-2019-16 June 4, 2019 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 $300. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety. Recommended by: Karl Dren, Director of Transportation Services Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 205 of 401 TS-2019-16 Marco Crescent at Moretta Drive Giovina Drive at Emma Street Intersection Control Reviews The following intersections are warranted for stop control on the minor approach: South-eastbound on Marco Crescent at Moretta Drive South-westbound on Giovina Drive at Emma Street Page 206 of 401 TS-2019-17 June 4, 2019 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-17 Ailanthus Avenue – Parking Review RECOMMENDATION That parking be prohibited on both sides of Ailanthus Avenue at the three centre median islands between Sunnylea Crescent and Frontenac Street. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recommended “no parking” zones are intended to prohibit motorists from parking their vehicle on Ailanthus Avenue at or near the centre median islands. BACKGROUND Ailanthus Avenue is a minor collector road that extends in a north/south direction between Dunn Street and McLeod Drive. Ailanthus Avenue has a 9 metre pavement width between Sunnylea Crescent and McLeod Road. The road was reconstructed in 2013 and three centre median islands were included as a speed control measure. The lane widths at the median islands are reduced to 3.5 metres. Niagara Falls Transit Route 106 travels northbound and 112 southbound along the entire length of Ailanthus Avenue. The surrounding land use consists of single family residential and apartment buildings. A sidewalk separated by a grass boulevard is present on each side of the road. Staff received concerns from an area resident that drivers have been parking directly next to one of the median islands. This causes through traffic to have to use the opposing traffic lane to proceed. Page 207 of 401 2 TS-2019-17 June 4, 2019 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Motorists parking at or near the centre median islands can restrict passage and force drivers to use the opposing lane. Therefore, Staff is recommending that a parking prohibition is established on: Northern Island: between a point 45 metres south of Sunnylea Crescent and a point 95 metres south of Sunnylea Crescent; Middle Island: between a point 220 metres south of Sunnylea Crescent and a point 260 metres south of Sunnylea Crescent; and, Southern Island: between a point 65 metres north of Frontenac Street and a point 105 metres north of Frontenac Street. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2019 General Purposes Budget. It is estimated that the cost to install the signs is approximately $500.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-18 Forestview Boulevard – Speed Control Review RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the speed control plan consisting of two (2) speed cushions and one (1) raised pedestrian crossover on Forestview Boulevard St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road be approved; and, 2. The construction of the speed cushions and raised pedestrian crossover on Forestview Boulevard is referred to the 2020 Capital Budget deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff received a resident request to review the installation of speed control devices on Forestview Boulevard to curtail speeding concerns. Staff followed up with speed studies and noted that a speeding problem was present. Questionnaires to the abutting homeowners were delivered thereafter. The results from the questionnaires are provided in the table below: Total Delivered In favour Opposed No Response 27 14 (51.9 percent) 0 (0 percent) 13 (48.1 percent) According to the City’s Neighbourhood Traffic Management Policy, the residential component has met the minimum 51% support rate from the neighbourhood. Staff is recommending that the speed control plan be approved as a result of the following: Operating speeds are above the acceptable threshold; Safety concern for pedestrians, specifically children given the vicinity of Deerfield Neighbourhood Park; Continued safety concerns are being raised by residents regarding the speed of drivers next to the community park; and, A majority resident support is achieved. Page 210 of 401 2 TS-2019-18 June 4, 2019 BACKGROUND Forestview Boulevard is a two-lane, two-way residential collector road with a 9.2 metre pavement width. Light standards are present on each side of the road providing illumination at night. A sidewalk separated by a grass boulevard is present on each side of Forestview Boulevard. The legal speed limit is 50 km/h. The study area, St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road, consists of residential dwellings with Deerfield Neighbourhood Park on the south side of Forestview Boulevard between St Michael Avenue and Kelsey Crescent. Parking is currently permitted on both sides during the daytime period. There is a traffic circle control at St Michael Avenue and all-way stop control with two stationed school crossing guards at Parkside Road. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Speed studies carried out on Forestview Boulevard between St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road revealed an operating speed of 55 km/h in the vicinity of Deerfield Neighbourhood Park. Staff considers a speeding problem when the operating speed exceeds the speed limit where there is at least one pedestrian generator, such as a school or a community park abutting the road. Given the study results, the technical component for speed control devices is fulfilled. Forestview Boulevard carries approximately 1,500 cars daily. These traffic volumes are within the expectations of a collector road. There is not a collision problem on Forestview Boulevard. Given that a speeding problem was identified, Staff solicited the input of the neighbourhood in December 2018 on their preference for speed control devices. A total of twenty-seven (27) questionnaires were delivered to all property owners. Twelve (12) responses were received, representing a 44% response rate. All respondents identified that they were in support of speed control devices. The second round of questionnaires to non-respondents in January 2019 yielded another two responses in favour of speed control, bringing the neighbourhood support to 52%. Staff prepared a speed control plan that consisted of two speed cushions and a raised pedestrian crossover. Speed cushions are a modified speed hump that has openings to allow vehicles with wider wheelbases, such as a fire truck or an ambulance, unencumbered passage. A driver of a passenger vehicle will have one side of their vehicle pass over the hump. Speed cushions are generally round or flat -topped encouraging motorists to drive over them at speeds of 30 -40 km/h. Speed cushions have been constructed on Angie Drive in autumn 2016 as part of the subdivision speed control plan and Mount Carmel Boulevard in spring 2018. No negative comments have been received from residents of Angie Drive or Mount Carmel Boulevard and their respective surrounding neighbourhood regarding these devices. Page 211 of 401 3 TS-2019-18 June 4, 2019 Pedestrian crossovers are a device that gives pedestrians the right-of-way to cross the road. Motorists and cyclists must stop and yield to pedestrians intending to cross the road, and wait for them to completely reach the other side before proceeding. Pedestrian crossovers are marked by signs and pavement markings. In some cases they may also have pedestrian-activated flashing lights. In the case for Forestview Boulevard, the warrant for pedestrian-activated flashing lights is not met. Fire Service Staff has no objections to the speed control plan. The proposed speed cushions will allow their fire response vehicles to bypass the devices without being delayed. A neighbourhood meeting was held on April 24, 2019 at the MacBain Community Centre, to allow Forestview Boulevard stakeholders the opportunity to review Staff’s concept plan and provide comments. Five (5) residents attended the open house, all of which identified their support for speed control through the questionnaire . The public meeting material was posted on the City’s website after the open house for those that could not attend the meeting, and this information was identified in the open house notice. All attendants of the public open house were in favour of speed control. The only additional comments received were to have this speed control project completed in 2019 as opposed to the spring/summer of 2020. Both the technical component and residential component have been fulfilled. Staff is recommending the construction of two (2) speed cushions and one (1) raised pedestrian crossover in the locations identified at the April 24, 2019 public meeting. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The construction of the two (2) speed cushions and one (1) raised pedestrian crossover is estimated at $23,000. The project will be included in the 2020 Capital Budget deliberations. The installation of the signs for the devices is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. It is estimated that the cost to install the signs and apply the appropriate pavement markings is approximately $2,000. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety. Page 212 of 401 4 TS-2019-18 June 4, 2019 LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Study Area Drawing April 24, 2019 Public Meeting Boards Recommended by: Karl Dren, Director of Transportation Services Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 213 of 401 WELCOME FORESTVIEW BOULEVARD SPEED CONTROL REVIEW NEIGHBOURHOOD OPEN HOUSE City of Niagara Falls Transportation Services Page 214 of 401 NEIGHBOURHOOD TRAFFIC REVIEW OBJECTIVES A Neighbourhood Traffic Review should be undertaken in consideration of the following goals: Enhance the quality of life and livability in City of Niagara Falls' neighbourhoods through the use of traffic management measures, such as speed humps, that reduce or control the impact of vehicle traffic; Change the culture of neighbourhood street use from 'cars first' to 'people first'; Create neighbourhood environments that support and encourage the use of non -auto modes of travel such as cycling, walking and transit; and, Develop a transportation system that recognizes and accommodates to the greatest extent possible, the multitude of activities that take place along the roadway. The process should involve: Public consultation and input in all aspects of the process; A process that is fair, balanced and equitable and reflects the needs of all users; and A process that reflects the City of Niagara Falls funding capabilities. Specific objectives of the Neighbourhood Traffic Review are to: Improve safety and convenience for all users of the street; Reduce the number and severity of collisions; Reduce the volume and/or speed of motorized traffic; Reduce the volume of traffic that has neither its origin or destination within the residential neighbourhood; Minimize effects on the adjacent or nearby local residential streets; and Reduce motor vehicle emissions. Page 215 of 401 BACKGROUND & EXISTING CONDITIONS The City received a request from a resident to review the speed of traffic and consider speed control devices on Forestview Boulevard Forestview Boulevard between St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road is a two-lane, two-way residential collector road Forestview Boulevard extends 1 kilometre from Garner Road to Kalar Road Forestview Boulevard is one of two entry points into the neighbourhood from Garner Road and one of three from Kalar Road has an urban cross-section consisting of a concrete curb & gutter, grass boulevard and continuous sidewalk on each side throughout the study area contains a minor curvature just east of Kelsey Crescent has a 9.2 metre pavement width has a 50 km/h speed limit is not a transit route traffic circle control at St Michael Avenue all-way stop control at Parkside Road has two school crossing guards at Forestview Boulevard and Parkside Road contains Deerfield Neighbourhood Park, located on the south side of the road between St Michael Avenue and Kelsey Crescent Permits Parking on each side of the road during the daytime period Page 216 of 401 TECHNICAL DATA Forestview Boulevard carries approximately 1,500 cars daily in the vicinity of Deerfield Neighbourhood Park, between St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road. These traffic volumes are within the expectations of a minor collector road. A collision problem has not been found on Forestview Boulevard. There have been no reported motor vehicle speed related collisions in the previous five years. Forestview Public School has a large boundary area for children walking to school. Forestview Boulevard is used by children walking to/from the school. Speed studies were carried out over several days. The data identified that the operating speed is 55 km/h in the vicinity of Deerfield Neighbourhood Park. The City considers a speeding problem when the operating speed exceeds the speed limit where there is at least one pedestrian generator abutting the road. Given that a neighbourhood park abuts Forestview Boulevard the technical component for speed control devices is fulfilled. Page 217 of 401 PUBLIC CONSULTATION Given that a speeding problem was identified, Staff solicited the input of the neighbourhood on their preference for speed control devices. The area of solicitation encompasses residences between St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road. Therefore, the residential component for speed control devices on Forestview Boulevard has been achieved. Forestview Boulevard between St Michael Avenue and Parkside Road o 27 questionnaires were delivered o 14 responses were received (52%) o 14 respondents are in support of speed control devices equates to 52% support Page 218 of 401 SPEED CUSHIONS Speed cushions are a modified speed hump that has openings to allow vehicles with wider wheelbases, such as a fire truck or a n ambulance, unencumbered passage. A driver of a passenger vehicle will have one side of their vehicle pass over the hump . Speed cushions are generally round or flat-topped encouraging motorists to drive over them at speeds of 30 -40 km/h. Each speed cushion costs approximately $5,500 Advantages: Reduces speed of motorists to less than 40 km/h Have the advantage of being self-enforcing May reduce number & severity of collisions Safer conditions for cyclists and pedestrians A parking restriction is not required at the speed cushion location Discourages cut-through traffic Does not slow down emergency vehicles (due to wider wheelbases) as drivers can pass through the gaps Disadvantages: Increases noise with drivers decelerating & accelerating over the humps Local Example: •Angie Drive Photo of a portable speed cushion for clarity Page 219 of 401 Speed Bump Speed Cushion Height 8 centimetres 8 centimetres Length 30-40 centimetres 4 metres Causes… Abrupt vertical motion Gentle rocking motion Encourages speeds of… 10 km/h or less 30-40 km/h Legal on Public Roads? No Yes What is the difference between a speed bump and a speed cushion? SPEED CUSHION SPECIFICATIONS Page 220 of 401 PEDESTRIAN CROSSOVER The Ontario Government is allowing municipalities to install new types of crossovers. Below is an illustration of a crossover that would be appropriate on Forestview Boulevard. Drivers, including cyclists are legally required to stop and yield the entire roadway for a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossovers. Only when pedestrians have completely crossed the road and are safely on the sidewalk can drivers and cyclists proceed. Drivers are not required to stop at the pedestrian crossover if there is not a pedestrian wishing to cross the road. There are two (2) other versions of the new crossovers that have flashing beacons, but these are typically installed on higher volume roads. Cost to install signs and markings is approximately $2,500. Page 221 of 401 GUIDING PRINCIPLES Speed control devices are located based on the following: Devices are most effective if they are evenly spaced so that motorists are not able to speed between them Cannot be placed in front of driveways since signs are posted on both sides of the road next to the device. This way their location is known when the roads are snow covered. Devices are avoided on road curves. Avoid placing them where utilities, manholes, valves, catch basins, etc. are located; and ensure positive drainage is maintained Devices are unnecessary near the existing all-way stop at Parkside Road, since drivers are required to stop at this intersections by law. Page 222 of 401 NEIGHBOURHOOD SPEED WATCH PROGRAM The Neighbourhood “Speed Watch” Program is an educational safety program designed to raise awareness of the speed drivers are traveling. A group of two or more concerned residents volunteers a few hours of their time to operate the equipment and identify speeding vehicles in the neighbourhood. The Neighbourhood “Speed Watch” Program is intended to give motorists a “friendly reminder” of the speed in residential areas.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services SUBJECT: TS-2019-19 School Crossing Guard Reviews RECOMMENDATIONS That school crossing guard supervision is: 1. Provided at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Valley Way for the start of the 2019/2020 school year; 2. Discontinued at the intersection of Drummond Road at Morrison Street at the end of the 2018/2019 school year; and, 3. Discontinued at the intersection of St. Paul Avenue at Church’s Lane immediately. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A technical review identified that school crossing guard supervision can be discontinued at the intersections of St. Paul Avenue and Church’s Lane, as well as Drummond Road and Morrison Street due to underutilization. The intersection of Victoria Avenue and Valley Way warrants crossing guard supervision. The Principal at the schools affected by these proposed changes will be receiving notification of the impending changes following Council approval. Staff will also provide messaging that the Principals can share with their school families. Transportation Staff will continue to review existing locations to determine if crossing assistance is still warranted. Demographics, school enrolment, changes to school walking boundaries, traffic volumes and patterns continually change in the City. The needs of the community can change over time and locations that have historically experienced a larger number of students crossing can see a decrease in crossing numbers. Page 228 of 401 2 TS-2019-19 June 4, 2019 BACKGROUND City Council approved Staff report TS-2019-01 at its January 29, 2019 meeting which raised the hourly wage for School Crossing Guards. A second recommendation was for Staff to review all existing school crossing locations to determine if supervision is still warranted and that the locations currently supervised by school crossing guards continue to meet the needs of the community. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Following the wage increase in February 2019, five of the nine vacant positions for School Crossing Guard have been filled, with numerous applications and resumes having been steadily received by Human Resources and the School Crossing Office. School crossing guard reviews were carried out in April and May during favourable weather conditions to review if existing locations continue to be viable or whether crossing guards should be relocated to better service the community. City staff performed observations, spoke with crossing guards and liaised with appropriate sch ool contacts and agencies to evaluate crossing locations. The City has adopted a proactive approach in conjunction with Niagara School Transportation Systems (NSTS) in an effort to anticipate future student walking patterns. There are 44 locations in the City that are supervised by school crossing guards. The City’s traffic count contractor was utilized to complete data collection at 18 locations which routinely experience low or infrequent pedestrian volumes. Seven (7) locations were surveyed a second time to identify if any anomalies were present during the first observation. The review has resulted in following recommendations: St. Paul Avenue at Church’s Lane Based on Staff’s technical assessment and review of school walking boundaries, t he school crossing guard at the intersection of St. Paul Avenue at Church’s Lane is recommended to be removed immediately. This crossing has been closed since February due to a lack of students using it, and the crossing guard that served this location has been reassigned to another location. A review of the school walking boundaries noted that the children who need to use this crossing attend either Martha Cullimore School or Prince Philip School. They can alternatively walk south within the subdivision to Stamford Green Drive and cross with the assistance of the crossing guard across St. Paul Avenue, then walk along Stamford Green Drive to and from the school. Page 229 of 401 3 TS-2019-19 June 4, 2019 Drummond Road at Morrison Street The two (2) school crossing guards located at Drummond Road at Morrison Street crossed four elementary children in the afternoon only on one day and no one on another day. Provincial guidelines indicate that the presence of a school crossing guard at a signalized location is not recommended unless extenuating factors and/or complex intersection operations exist. Furthermore, a review of historical collisions at this intersection did not identify any pedestrian safety concerns. Staff is recommending that the school crossing guards be removed from this underutilized location. Dorchester Road at MacMillan Drive Staff will re-review the intersection of Dorchester Road and MacMillan Drive in the new school year to determine if the school crossing is warranted, or can be relocated to a more central location on Dorchester Road that can be of benefit to two (2) nearby elementary schools. This crossing serves one school, and there are a low number of students that reside on the west side of Dorchester Road that would utilize it. Victoria Avenue at Valley Way / Victoria Avenue at Morrison Street Staff carried out a study at the intersections of Victoria Avenue and Valley Way, as well as Victoria Avenue and Morrison Street at the request of the School Principal to investigate if a crossing guard is warranted. Both of these intersections are controlled by traffic signals. Victoria Avenue and Valley Way intersect at an angle which creates very long crossing distances for pedestrians. Staff observed that twenty-five (25) children crossed this intersection on two separate days with most pedestrians crossing the west side. Although sight lines are adequate, some drivers carried out a turn in front of pedestrian lawfully in the marked crosswalk. The intersection of Victoria Avenue and Morrison Street is a typical intersection layout with no identified pedestrian safety concerns. The traffic signal control at this location provides safe pedestrian crossing opportunities. Therefore, it is recommended that a school crossing guard be provided at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Valley Way for the start of the 2019/2020 school year. The two (2) crossing guards recommended for removal from the Drummond Road and Morrison Street intersection will be reassigned to this location. Conclusion The Principal at the schools affected by these proposed changes will be receiving notification of the impending changes following Council approval. Staff will also provide messaging that the Principals can share with their school families. Page 230 of 401 4 TS-2019-19 June 4, 2019 Transportation Staff will continue to review existing locations to determine if crossing assistance is still warranted. Demographics, school enrolment, changes to school walking boundaries, traffic volumes and patterns continually change in the City. The needs of the community can change over time and locations that have historically experienced a larger number of students crossing can see a decrease in crossing numbers. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS At full complement, the program should have sixty-two (62) part-time staff members, including six (6) dedicated ‘roving’ guard positions to supervise forty-four (44) locations throughout the City. The duty of the roving guards is to accommodate absences related to sick time and short-term leaves. The recommended changes in this report reduce the staff complement by one (1) guard; however, it is recommended that this position be reallocated to a roving guard to accommodate absences and maintain adequate coverage.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-21 Church's Lane at Whirlpool Road Intersection Control Review RECOMMENDATION That a stop sign is installed facing eastbound traffic on Church’s Lane at Whirlpool Road. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A stop sign is warranted facing eastbound traffic on Church’s Lane at Whirlpool Road to properly assign the right-of-way amongst motorists. BACKGROUND City Staff has received a request to investigate the feasibility of installing a stop facing eastbound traffic on Church’s Lane at Whirlpool Road. This intersection currently operates under yield control. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Study results indicate that a stop control is warranted at the above intersection. The approach sight triangle requirement for intersections with yield signs is not met, thus warranting additional traffic control. This is common in developed residential areas where vegetation, fences and dwellings are present within the visibility clear zone. Drivers on Church’s Lane do not have a good view of traffic on Whirlpool Road until they are at the intersection due to overgrown vegetation within the rail right -of-way. A collision review for the previous five years revealed that a collision problem does not exist at this intersection. The installation of the stop sign will ensure motorists on Church’s Lane come to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to motorists on Whirlpool Road. Page 232 of 401 2 TS-2019-21 June 4, 2019 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the stop sign 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 sign is approximately $150.

Our recent Accessibility audit,revealed that there were significant issues and proposed 17 recommendations.While some of the recommendations are within our capacity, such as signage and declutter,other recommendations such as a new elevator are significant costs to invest in an ageing building with poor infrastructure. There are many benefits to a multiuse facility as realized in our partnership at the MacBain Community Centre,which houses the YMCA,the City,the Library and Community Partners.The Library Board has really enjoyed the great partnership with the City and our Community Partners. At this time the Library Board would like to let the Council know that we are interested and would welcome a community partnership similar to the MacBain Model at the Chippawa Willoughby Arena on Sodom Road,thereby creating a multiuse facility. The Chippawa Library has been included as one of our Development Charge initiatives in the next Development Charge Study.In addition,there is the potential to access our Restricted Chippawa Reserve Fund,and to put the proceeds from the sale of the current Chippawa Library towards a new build Library,in partnership with the City. Please keep us in mind,should the opportunity arise to partner to create a shared facility for the community in Chippawa.If this is not an option please let us know,as our accessibility challenges are great and will have to be addressed within the next year or two. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information,or wish to have more discussion regarding this initiative.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to provide background on the financial implications and funding for the Region’s incentive programs - particularly tax-related grants accessed through projects eligible under Local Community Improvement Plans (CIPs), as directed by Council at meeting on April 25, 2019. The Smarter Niagara Incentive Program (SNIP) is a suite of Regional incentive programs providing matching grants to eligible projects in Local Municipalities (LAMs). SNIP incentives are divided into simple grants (e.g., building and façade improvement grants) and tax-related grants (e.g., tax increment grants). Niagara Region is a funding partner on more than 50 CIP-based incentive programs across Niagara. Since May 2017, Regional Council has consistently directed staff to defer partnering on any new or revised incentive programs included in CIPs approved by the LAMs, pending completion of the ongoing Regional incentive review. As of March 2019 this has affected four new or revised locally approved CIPs. On April 25, 2019, Council approved including all CIPs which had been or will be locally approved by December 31, 2019 as eligible to submit Regional matching funding requests for SNIP simple grants and Council approved a budget of $600,000 for 2019 for this purpose. A report on the financial implication of tax-related SNIP grants was also requested. SNIP simple grants and tax-related grants are budgeted for and administered in different ways. A description of the financial implications of SNIP tax-related grants, specifically tax increment grants is outlined below, but Regional funding requests for SNIP tax increment grants in 2019 could well be in excess of $5 million over the life of the grants, usually 10 years. Nineteen Regional incentive programs (Appendix 1) administered by the Planning and Development Services, Finance, and Economic Development departments are Page 275 of 401 PDS 22-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ currently under review, including SNIP incentives. A presentation on Regional incentives and the Regional incentive review is scheduled for the Committee of the Whole meeting on June 6, 2019. Financial Considerations SNIP Simple Grants SNIP simple grants are funded through an annual line item in the Levy budget (i.e. $600,000 in 2019). This funding is allocated to applicants from the LAMs who match the funding and apply through a quarterly, first-come, first-served basis for eligible projects, until the budget limit is reached. In 2016 and 2017, funding from reserves was required to meet historical Regional incentive commitments for SNIP simple grants beyond the $634,000 annual budget for each of those years, depleting reserves for these programs. (The SNIP simple grant budget was not exceeded in 2018). The unused funds are treated as all other operating budget surpluses for the corporation. No allocation to reserves is budgeted. SNIP Tax Increment Grants SNIP tax increment grants (TIGs) are generally larger financial commitments of longer duration than simple grants. They are funded differently from simple grants. The budget is established in the first year of completed construction when the property is added to the tax roll and funded directly from the assessment growth in that year. The budget for grant/repayment expense is established in that year until the completion of the duration of the commitment - usually 10 years. The 2019 SNIP TIG budget is $1.6 million. As most of the TIGs are for a 10 year period the cumulative impact of TIGs for which the Region is currently committed is a total over $30 million through 2030. For all Regional tax increment grant commitments (including Gateway CIP tax increment grants), the total Regional commitment is over $50 million through 2030. These amounts includes applications approved for which construction is not yet complete therefore assessment growth has not yet occurred and the expense budget respectively has not been established. Each year the Region includes in the budget process the estimate of additional taxation revenue generated from new development (assessment growth). Historically this new revenue had averaged 1.31% of tax levy or $4.2 million. Before this revenue can be utilized to fund the cost of services associated with the growing development and population, some must be set aside to provide for the repayment of the TIGs. The concern is that with the expansion of CIPs to greater proportion of the Region , more properties will become eligible, more taxes will be refunded and less funding will be available to fund operating expenses. Page 276 of 401 PDS 22-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ In 2019 to date, the Region has received approximately $5 million in outstanding requests for matching SNIP TIG funding from eligible CIP programs, with more anticipated in 2019, these new commitments will be budgeted across the life of the grants, usually 10 years. This $5 million is 1.3% of the Regional levy and has the potential, based on the timing of construction, to further erode assessment growth revenue. If the five new or revised locally approved CIPs, four of which have TIG programs, also become eligible for SNIP TIG matching Regional funding, there could be a considerable increase to the 2019 Regional request figure. Analysis Nineteen of the Region’s incentive programs administered by the Planning, Economic Development and Finance departments are currently under review. A presentation for Councillors on these incentive programs and the incentive review is slated for the June 6, 2019 Committee of the Whole meeting. This report deals specifically with one of oldest of these Regional programs, an umbrella incentive program called the Smarter Niagara Incentive Program, or SNIP. As noted, SNIP incentives provide matching Regional funding for eligible projects approved by the LAMs through CIPs and all 12 Niagara LAMs have access to Regional SNIP incentives. Ten of the 12 LAMs have CIP programs offering a range of incentive types, and the Region matches over 50 of these programs. SNIP and Tax Increment Grants Below is information specifically on the tax increment grant (TIG). TIGs, such as the SNIP Property Rehabilitation and Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing Grant (SNIP TIG), are grants based on a percentage of the tax related to the additional assessment created from the new construction (the difference between pre- and post-construction assessment) generated when a property is rehabilitated or redeveloped. The TIG is intended to refund taxes attributed to growth. There is some inconsistency in the methodology by which some LAMs calculate the TIG. The simplest of methods to calculate this in an environment of annual changes to the assessment due to reassessment and increase in taxation (due to increase in budget and tax levies) where the grant is determined in the first year of the new assessment generated and then to continue to refund that ‘fixed’ amount annually for 10 years. This allows for consistency for the Region and developers. Some LAMs however calculate the amount each year at a percentage of the taxes paid. This ‘variable’ methodology has the additional impact of refund budget increases and/or impacts of tax shifts due to reassessment. This methodology is also more challenging Page 277 of 401 PDS 22-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ to predict and budget for and additionally has risk to the developer to go down upon a reassessment shifts. Through the SNIP TIG program, the Region matches the percentage and duration of the locally approved TIGs according to program parameters contained in each local CIP. Each LAM, and indeed each CIP even within the same municipality, may have a different TIG eligibility, rates, durations, and parameters. This means Regional funding for each TIG may differ substantially, depending on the CIP under which it is provided. The only Regional parameter cited in the current SNIP incentive program is that the Region will provide a minimum 75% grant rate for eligible brownfield TIGs. Regional funding requests for SNIP TIGs are complex and require greater administrative review than SNIP simple grants. They typically involve review by policy planning, development planning and finance staff to determine whether it is an eligible request; the status of the project; the implications of the grant term, cost estimates, and building timelines; the potential impact for other incentives leveraged by the project; and whether it is eligible for delegated staff approval. SNIP TIG funding requests from all LAMs with eligible matching programs are accepted on a rolling in-take basis; there are no Regional limits on number of applications or funding amounts requested. Regional Incentive Review A review of many Regional incentives, including the SNIP suite, is underway. Objectives of this review are to ensure that Regional incentive programs align with Regional Council priorities and are clear, current, accountable and effective. Following a presentation on Regional incentives to Councillors on June 6, reports through the Planning and Economic Development Committee regarding the incentive review are anticipated in June-July 2019. These presentations and reports will provide background on Regional incentives and existing programs; outline the rationale for and status of the incentive review; and seek Council direction on targeted a reas for Regional incentive funding. New or revised programs based on this direction and review findings will be developed and are expected come before Council in fall 2019.

The Niagara Biennial is aligned with other biennial awards programs in the GTHA and beyond. It will expand upon the range of eligible design fields and provide learning and networking opportunities relevant to the design industry. This will promote better exposure of design achievements in Niagara and increase both interest and relevance of the program by recognizing unique design practices found in the region which will be promoted broadly. The Niagara Biennial will seek submissions from the design community, the development community, and the arts community at a launch symposium in the fall of 2019. Submissions will be juried and awards distributed at an awards ceremony in the spring of 2020. The Niagara Biennial event will promote Niagara’s global brand by placing it in the realm of other international design destinations with similar competitions, bringing broad-reaching recognition of local design achievements.

It had an annual budget of approximately $15,000.00. The new awards program will comprise a broader scope of design and feature more events with stakeholders that will be held biennially. The new program includes a greater level of outreach and promotion of the design industry in Niagara which will supplement strategic goals of economic development and tourism. An investment in the new program for 2019 to 2020 is projected to be $45,000.00. This can be accommodated within the Council approved 2019 Operating Budget. Some of the projected expenses required for holding the events can be offset through submission of entry fees, sponsorships from professional organizations, and in-kind donations. Analysis Background on the Niagara Community Design Awards The Niagara Community Design Awards (NCDA) was an architecture, landscape architecture and urban design awards program organized and hosted by the Niagara Region from 2004 to 2016. Municipal awards programs that promote the best works of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design in their respective communities are found in many municipalities in and around the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). These programs are aimed at raising the bar of design, promot ing community pride, and spotlighting the winning designers. The programs are delivered by a planning department with input from other departments such as public works, economic development and tourism. The programs are often well-resourced with interdepartmental funding and staffing and involve extensive planning and preparat ion. In the Region of Niagara, the diversity of scales and capacities of partner municipalities makes it impractical for each of the twelve communities to undertake similar programs. Accordingly, the Region has historically performed this role on their behalf. The objective of the previous NCDA awards program was to celebrate excellence in community design in the Niagara Region by recognizing projects that enhanced the built environment, efficiently used land, and demonstrated creativity and vision. Awards were organized into twelve categories and typically awarded one project per category. These included: small and large scale projects, architecture, façade improvement, adaptive re- use, brownfield, sustainability and public realm improvements. It also included categories Page 283 of 401 PDS 19-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ such as Policy and Plans, Leadership and Legacy. Over the past six years, awards were distributed as follows: 2016=13, 2015=16, 2014=19, 2013=9, 2012=12, and 2011=10 . The awards committee that adjudicated the submissions consisted of nine community members, many of whom participated continuously over the twelve year span of the program. The committee consisted of: professional planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, real estate agents, educators and developers. The award that was given to each winning project was a steel sculpture entitled, “Transformation”. It was created by Mark Griffis, a sculptor and art educator from Fort Erie. Award winners also received a certificate. What is a Biennial? A Biennial is a large contemporary exhibition which is held every two years (bi-annually). The subject matter typically includes works of fine art, film, publishing, design, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. A typical Biennial is comprised of many events such as: exhibitions, presentations, talks, workshops and tours. Biennial events occur over a span of time which ranges from one week to several months. There are currently over one hundred biennials in major cities all over the world. Some of the most famous Biennials include: La Biennale di Venezia (Venice, Italy), Chicago Architectural Biennial (Chicago, USA) and the London Design Biennale (London, UK). For example, the Chicago Architectural Biennial has been running for three installments. It attracts upwards of 500,000 visitors for each exhibition period. The events are increasingly becoming a source of local pride, tourism, cultural capital, and revenue for the host city. Design Awards in the Canadian context In Canada, there are no Biennials like those found in the rest of the world. However, Canada has many design awards programs that are held biennially. These programs are design competitions that consist of a one day awards ceremony – unlike the international biennials that run for longer periods of time and consist of multiple events and programming. Canadian design awards programs typically focus on national works of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and planning. Design award programs in Canada are held at the national, provincial and municipal levels. Niagara Region is uniquely positioned to be able to host an awards program on behalf of the 12 local area municipalities. Building on Niagara’s globally recognized name, a Niagara Biennial has the potential to evolve into an international biennial similar to other established events around the world. Being at an international border, Niagara can host Canadian and International designers, inviting new eyes to see and experience Niagara. Page 284 of 401 PDS 19-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ The role of a Biennial in Niagara A biennial awards program for Niagara is an appropriate vehicle to reward excellence in design and to showcase the state of the art in design. Works of the design and development community, arts community, and others can be paired with the diversity and richness of Niagara’s attractions, events, places and people. The biennial adds an important and unique layer which will entice a new audience to learn about, visit and appreciate design achievements in Niagara. The Niagara Region Design Context Niagara’s design community comprises a broad and diverse range of artistic and design professions that promote Niagara both locally and globally. The region is home to professional architects, landscape architects, urban designers, urban planners, engineers, industrial designers, interior designers, and graphic designers. It is also home to talented visual artists, performing artists, artisans and makers of all types. Members of the Niagara design community are spread throughout the diverse geographies of the region. They live and work in downtown centres, historic towns, hamlets, and rural settlements. They are surrounded by a unique physical environment that includes protected woodlands, lakes, rivers, canals, waterfalls, agricultural fields, industrial areas and more. This physical context combined with the Region’s historical and cultural assets strongly influence design in Niagara, setting it apart from other regions around the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Niagara Region’s Creative Cluster context The Creative Cluster includes businesses such as design services, media, publishing, marketing, entertainment, music, visual arts, performing arts and culture. Design professionals, designers, artists and artisans work in many industries that contribute to key economic sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, construction, personal services, government, education and healthcare. In 2018, Niagara Region’s creative cluster consisted of 1,314 businesses with a total of 7,538 jobs. Job growth in increased 29% between the years of 2011 to 2018. This figure demonstrates the significant contribution to Niagara’s economy that the creative cluster provides. Creative people in the Region of Niagara contribute substantially to the economic growth and vitality of the region. They enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors through their work and their products. Within the design community, there is a vast range of design services that will continue to be important to the development community and to investors in Niagara’s economy. Additionally, growth of the design community within Page 285 of 401 PDS 19-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 5 ______________________________________________________________________ the region will contribute to the retention of youth and new professionals choosing to stay in Niagara. Purpose of the new awards program The Niagara Biennial will be inclusive, broad reaching and relevant to the current economic development and tourism climate. In order to do that, the program will: Be held as a biennial event, which includes exhibitions, seminars, workshops and spin-off events. This will promote engagement with the design industry, provide learning and networking opportunities and spark interest in the industry, Honour and recognize the work of designers and owners with prestigious awards that highlight a ‘Made in Niagara’ approach to design excellence of projects and initiatives. The criteria for gaining recognition will be based upon industry standards that are clear, fair, relevant, and unbiased. Award winners value recognition for their works when it is received from well-known and respected design practitioners and industry peers, Expand beyond the standard categories to encompass a broader segment of the design community and award design projects that enhance the built environment and design context of the Niagara Region, Highlight and celebrate the substantial contribution to the region’s economy that design professionals, artists, and artisans provide, and; Introduce innovative technologies to showcase winning projects to a greater audience and look for new opportunities to interlace these projects with other events and promotions to enrich the overall visitation experience. Timelines and Phasing: The Biennial design awards program is currently in the planning and pre-launch stages which will continue into the summer. In the fall (Q4) of 2019, the awards program will be launched at a symposium event which will include an open call for submissions. The submission period will close in the winter (Q1) of 2020. At that time, the entries will be adjudicated through a juried process. The program will culminate with an awards ceremony in the spring (Q2) of 2020. Page 286 of 401 PDS 19-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________ Alternatives Reviewed Staff considered maintaining the Niagara Community Design Awards program that was already in place. However, many aspects of that program are no longer relevant. The previous program was largely unchanged for twelve years and experienced a decline in the number off submissions. Holding the event annually produces a limited number of submissions to make an interesting and competitive atmosphere. Staff also considered postponing a new program until 2020, however, there is a lot of interest and encouragement from the design and development communities to create a more vital and relevant awards platform. Based upon this appetite, it was decided to embark on the planning stages of the program immediately. Relationship to Council Strategic Priorities The awards program will respond to two of the Regional Council’s Strategic Priorities: Fostering Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and; Positioning Niagara Globally. ‘Fostering Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ will be achieved in several ways. Inviting the design and development communities to submit projects that compete for awards and recognition will, over time, create a design legacy that commemorates design now and into the future. Additionally, the qualit y of design execution will improve as designers vie to earn awards. The awards program will showcase the variety and breadth of design happening within the region. Through a variety of events such as seminars, workshops, tours, film nights, etc., the program will provide an opportunity for the design and development communities to gather and network. The program will also provide opportunities for learning and discovery for these communities along with the public. ‘Positioning Niagara Globally’ will be achieved by promoting the program through publications, a website, social media and advertisements. This will promote Niagara’s brand name and showcase design to a global audience. By collaborating with Economic Development and Tourism initiatives, the pro gram will reach a broader audience of residents, visitors, investors and businesses. In turn, this program will contribute to growth within the creative cluster and to an economic uplift in the Region.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information regarding the Ohnia:kara UNESCO Global Geopark; A global geopark is a unified area with a geological heritage of international significance (UNESCO); At an April 25, 2018 presentation to Planning and Economic Development Committee, the Ohnia:kara Steering Committee outlined their desire to pursue a UNESCO geopark designation for Niagara. Financial Considerations There are no direct financial implications stemming from this report. However, it would be reasonable to assume that future financial support may be required to further the geopark initiative. This initiative is currently not funded in the 2019 budget and if supported, required financial support will be included in future budget years for Council consideration and approval. Analysis At the April 28, 2018 Planning and Economic Development Committee, a presentation by the Ohnia:kara Steering Committee (steering committee) outlined the potential creation of a geopark in Niagara. The following resolution was carried: Page 291 of 401 PDS 18-2019 May 8, 2019 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ “That staff BE DIRECTED to provide a report regarding the potential creation of the Ohnia:kara UNESCO Global Geopark.” Since the presentation in April 2018, Brock University’s N iagara Community Observatory published the attached (Appendix I) policy brief, which is a comprehensive primer on UNESCO geoparks, and the process to achieve the UNESCO designation. The policy brief, prepared to support the efforts of the steering committee, makes a compelling case for establishing a geopark in Niagara highlighting linkages to existing tourism as well as new tourism opportunities, including international recognition of existing cultural and geological assets (waterfalls, trails, historic sites, etc). The brief indicates that at least 78 geosites of geological, environmental or cultural interest have been identified across all 12 Niagara municipalities. Due to the cross jurisdictional nature of these features, the report further suggests that the Region, 12 local municipalities, Niagara Parks Commission and Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, Ontario Parks, and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (Transport Canada) would all need to be involved in advancing the geopark initiative. Through discussions with members of the Ohnia:kara steering committee, it is understood, that the group has begun to make presentations to local municipal councils, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority as well as several local non-profit organizations. Staff would suggest that once the steering committee has achieved input from as many local stakeholders as possible, an update could be provided to Council with respect to feedback received and anticipated next steps. This report recommends that Regional Council endorse the concept of a Niagara Geopark and support the steering committee in their pursuit of a UNESCO designation. The support of Regional Council may be beneficial to helping the group advance this initiative with local stakeholders. Alternatives Reviewed Council could choose not to endorse the Ohnia:kara Global Geopark, or not to support the steering committee in pursuing its designation. However, these options are not recommended.

Appendices Appendix 1 Ohnia:kara Policy Brief Page 4 Page 293 of 401 Niagara Community Observatory NCO Policy Brief #37 | January 2019 By Carol Phillips OHNIA:KARA ANAspIRINgglObAlgeOpARK INTRODUCTION What is a UNESCO Global Geopark? Niagara has long been a world-famous destination, anchored by its iconic Falls. In fact, it has been a meeting place for Indigenous peoples dating back 12,000 years. The tourism infrastructure that has developed over the decades at Niagara Falls specifically has entrenched this position and its effect has gradually cascaded through Niagara-on-the-Lake and into the rest of the region, primarily through its historical, agricultural and viticulture assets. The importance of tourism to Niagara’s local economy is acknowledged by its designation as one of the Niagara Region’s four pillars of economic develop- ment strategy. Recognition of its role has been accompanied by the desire to expand its impact throughout the region. Several types of tourism already exist in Niagara, providing a spectrum of different opportunities in a variety of different cultural and environmental contexts. Many of these different types of tourism include mass, rural and farm, cycling, culinary, wine, brewery, and ecotourism. The inclusion of geotourism would serve to reinforce these existing tourism types, but also diversify into new areas, and new products and attractions, that highlight the unique character of the Niagara region. Geotourism is a niche-market that has grown over the past 20- plus years. It is a form of nature-based tourism that showcases an area’s geographical character, its “earth history” which includes geology and landscape, flora and fauna, and their inter- action with humans to form a cultural identity. It is a niche that focuses on education, conservation, and sustainability (Megerle & Pietsch, 2017; Dowling, 2011; Farsani et al., 2011). It is through the growing phenomenon of geotourism that the relatively new concept of the “geopark” – and the official designation of the UNESCO Global Geopark – has emerged. UNESCO defines its geoparks as a “single, unified geographical area where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development” (UNESCO 2016). While the concept of geoparks date back to the 1990s, specifically with their establishment in Europe and China, it wasn’t until 2004 that the Global Geoparks Network was formed under UNESCO. Furthermore, the official branding of the UNESCO Global Geopark did not occur until 2015. There are currently 140 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 36 countries, but only three of these are in Canada: Stonehammer in New Brunswick (designated a Global Geopark in 2010), Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia (2014), and Percé in Quebec (2018), signifying that the concept is relatively new in Canada. Members of the Niagara community through Geospatial Niagara have submitted an expression of interest to the Canadian National Committee for Geoparks to become a geopark. This has enabled the group to now market the concept and create a formal application as an “Aspiring Global Geopark”. The Ohnia:kara Aspiring Global Geopark is a non-profit grassroots effort to bring the brand to Niagara. NCO Policy Brief 1 September 2018NCO Policy Brief 1 January 2019 NCO New Layout:Layout 1 04/02/2019 12:44 PM Page 1 PDS 18-2019 Appendix II May 8, 2019 Page 4 Page 294 of 401 NCO Policy Brief 2 January 2019 The UNESCO designation does not carry any regulatory status, although sites within the geopark may already be protected by local laws. Rather, it is best understood as an in- ternational brand that signifies to potential tourists that this is a destination with significant geological and geographical assets worth visiting. That may seem obvious in Niagara. However, the UNESCO Global Geopark brand was originally meant to support and encourage sustainable economic development in rural areas by showcasing their formidable geological sites. With that goal in mind, a Global Geopark designation could be a means to expanding tourism interest across the Niagara region, by increas- ing the economic benefits of tourism to all 12 of its municipali- ties as well as adding value to its core tourism areas of Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, and giving visitors more reason to stay in the region for longer periods. This policy brief aims to introduce this relatively new concept to Niagara stakeholders and answer the question: What is a geopark, and how might it enhance an already popular tourism destination?This study will highlight challenges and opportunities that Ohnia:kara organizers face in their bid for designation. It includes a discussion of the branding process, the current impact of tourism in Niagara and how a geopark designation might differentiate itself; and a brief look at the impact of some current Global Geoparks. It will also build a case for local support of the initiative, placing the discussion within the realm of amplifying culture and tourism assets across the region to contribute to Niagara’s overall economic develop- ment. THepROCess Ohnia:kara, the Mohawk word for “neck between two bodies of water”, is proposed to be congruent with the boundaries of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. It has identified 78 “geosites” of geological, environmental, or cultural interest in all 12 municipalities of the region, but that list con- tinues to grow as the group consults with stakeholders. The sites range from the Welland Canal to the Wainfleet Bog to Beamer Falls, as well as historical sites from the War of 1812 and the Mewinzha Archeology Gallery in Fort Erie. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and the Niagara Parks Commission already oversee the bulk of the proposed sites, which should be considered an advantage as there is already infrastructure in place (trails, signage, parking, programming) for visitors and residents to enjoy many of these local assets. A UNESCO Global Geopark carries a four-year designation after successfully completing an application that includes a dossier of information and a site visit from technical experts. The application should demonstrate the area has “geological heritage of international value” as assessed by scientific professionals, with accompanying details of geo- conservation pressures and efforts. A management team with a business and marketing plan should be in place. Part of the process includes having already implemented geopark projects as proof of commitment and capacity. Information signs at geosites and educational programs offered to schools are such examples. The designation is re-evaluated every four years, through a progress report and another site visit. The Ohnia:kara initiative is currently at the beginning of its application process. It has a steering committee and organizers have been making contacts with other geoparks and participat- ing in international conferences and workshops. Once completed, the application will be vetted through the Canadian National Committee for Geoparks (CNCG) before moving to UNESCO for final approvals. WhatisUNesCOlookingfor? In its application, UNESCO asks that the aspiring Global Geopark addresses 10 topics: 1. the importance of natural resources in the region and their sustainable use; 2. existing geological hazards, such as volcanoes and earthquakes, and disaster mitigation strategies; 3. climate change; 4. educational activities for all ages that spread awareness of geological heritage and its links to our geography, culture and heritage; 5. scientific research with academic institutions; 6. exploring the links between communities and Earth, including activities and partnerships with the arts and heritage communities; 7. the empowerment of women; 8. a sustainable economic development plan; 9.preserving and celebrating local and Indigenous knowledge by including those communities in the planning and management of the geopark; and 10. geo-conservation and the protection of geosites. (UNESCO 2016) NCO New Layout:Layout 1 04/02/2019 12:44 PM Page 2 PDS 18-2019 Appendix II May 8, 2019 Page 5 Page 295 of 401 NCO Policy Brief 3 January 2019 ROleOFTOURIsmIN NIAgARA’seCONOmY Tourism has been identified by Niagara Region as one of four priority sectors in its economic development and growth strategy, alongside agribusiness, manufacturing, and transportation/logistics. The tourism sector employs approximately 18 per cent of Niagara's workforce, or almost 40,000 people, and has a location quotient of 1.8 relative to Ontario (Niagara Region Economic Development, 2019). This signifies the concentration of a specialized labour pool in this region. It is a cross-sectoral industry that includes food and beverage, accommodation, performing arts, spectator sports, heritage institutions, and gambling. As such it provides quality-of-life amenities to residents while marketing to visitors outside the region. Niagara Falls and its established tourism base is central to the region’s competitive advantage. However, challenges in “grow- ing and enriching the experience” moving forward have been identified in recent discussions around the strategic growth of the region (Niagara Region Economic Development 2018, p. 14). 1Location quotients measure employment concentration in a geographical area compared to a larger geographical area, in this case Niagara to Ontario. If the LQ is greater than 1, that indicates a larger proportion of workers in a sector than the larger area, and a comparative advantage in terms of a specialized labour pool. Agriculture (location quotient 1.94), arts/entertainment/recreation (1.92 LQ), and food/accommodation (1.75 LQ) are the three most significant sectors in Niagara in terms of employment (Niagara Region Economic Development 2018, p. 13). TOURIsmNUmbeRs The latest data from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism shows that the St. Catharines-Niagara Census Metropol- itan Area had approximately 12.9 million “person-visits” in 2017. About 8.4 million came from Ontario (another 292,000 visitors from the rest of Canada), 1.1 million came from overseas, and 3.1 million from the U.S. Total expenditures were approximately $2.36 billion. The min- istry numbers measure, among other things, how many nights people stayed in the CMA, what type of accom- modation they used, and what they did while they were here. We know, for example, that less than half of those who visited from Ontario stayed overnight (2.98 million) and the majority of those for only a couple of nights. Less than half of overseas visitors stayed overnight in the CMA, the bulk of those spending two nights or less. (Note: The St. Catharines-Niagara CMA does not include Grimsby or West Lincoln. Overseas visitors counted were over the age of 15. Some of the challenges include: 1. encouraging return visits 2. increasing the number of overnight stays 3. making the entirety of the Niagara region a destination for those seeking a wine, culinary, or arts experience. In a geopark model, Niagara Falls anchors the tourism experi- ence, but the region-wide potential is realized. Brouder and Fullerton have referred to it as a “cascade effect” (2015). That is, Niagara Falls is still the focal point for tourists, but the rest of the region might also benefit. This policy brief recognizes that tourists to the region are not all alike. The casino buses travelling down the QEW are not necessarily filled with aspiring geotourists. Nor are the bus tours that take international visitors for a quick day trip. The geopark appeals to a separate genre of tourist (and resident) and lends a different perspective to Niagara’s assets. WHYDOWeNeeDA geOpARK? If Niagara is already such a popular destination, why do we need to be officially designated as a Global Geopark? Branding Niagara as a UNESCO Global Geopark may provide an institutional path for the entirety of the region to gain interna- tional recognition by drawing attention to the extent of the existing geological and cultural assets, including its many smaller waterfalls, trails, historical sites, wineries, and artisans. For organizers, these branding efforts come with opportunities and challenges. Tourist amenities and attractions are already abundant, and the geopark can take advantage of this infrastruc- ture to establish its own brand of tourism and add value to a visit, highlighting geological assets and earth history (which includes its interaction with humans through culture and heritage). However, the challenge occurs in: 1. differentiating what it can offer to the experience and, 2. quantifying its impact on the established tourism sector as well as the local economy at large. What difference will a UNESCO Global Geopark make and how can it be measured? The difficulty lies in that often these geosites are not gated (Lemky, 2014), or they may be one of several reasons someone might visit an area. This could be mitigated through geopark-specific activities and attractions. For example, if it had its own visitors’ centre and took visitor counts at its promoted geosites. Because one goal of the Ohnia:kara initiative is to attract tourists already at NCO New Layout:Layout 1 04/02/2019 12:44 PM Page 3 PDS 18-2019 Appendix II May 8, 2019 Page 6 Page 296 of 401 NCO Policy Brief 1 September 2018 Niagara Falls to explore the surrounding region (in the hopes they might spend more time in the area), taking counts and surveys at geosites in the surrounding municipalities would give some indication if that strategy is working. Other solutions may include on-site surveys, website visits via on-site QR codes, or “passport” programs in which visitors get stamps for each site visited and then trade them in at the end of a vacation for a small reward. Determining whether or not the geopark brand is attracting tourists who otherwise would not have made the trip to Niagara may be more difficult. Overall numbers gathered by Statistics Canada before and after the branding can be compared, but one would be challenged to measure how much can be attributed to the actual geopark versus other factors. This ability to differentiate becomes a significant issue not only when looking for funding and partnerships, but also when making its case to UNESCO in seeking official designation. The Niagara Escarpment, for example, has been a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve since 1990. In the case of such branding overlap, UNESCO stipulates an “Aspiring Global Geopark” must show how it would add value to the region both independently and in cooperation with other designations. In this case, Ohnia:kara may argue that as a promoter of geotourism, it can help the Biosphere Reserve tell its story by guiding people to lesser known geosites as the escarpment winds to its greatest asset, Niagara Falls. There are other overlaps, as well: with Ontario Parks, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, the Niagara Escarpment Commission, and the Niagara Parks Commission. Megerle and Pietsch (2017) recognized this trade-off in the case of German geoparks – the risk of decreased visibility of a geopark due to the larger profile of established protection agencies, versus the benefit of geosites already enjoying degrees of legislated protection and administrative oversight. In the German case, geoparks overlapped with nature parks, national parks, and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Risks included competition between brands2 and confusion amongst the public about the difference between them. The danger was having this play out with businesses and other stakeholders questioning the value of paid membership in a geopark. But the research also saw the opportunity of working with higher-profile organiza- tions with better financial resources and infrastructure to mount joint marketing campaigns and joint activities . NCO Policy Brief 4 January 2019 geOpARKsAROUNDTHe WORlD:THeCOsTsAND beNeFITs There is evidence that designated Global Geoparks are having positive economic impacts on their regions. China,for example, housed 204 national geoparks in 2017 (35 of them UNESCO Global Geoparks), and each was estimated to generate $26 million USD per year (Ng 2017), or approximately $34.5 million CAD. The geopark brand has been used in China since 2000 as part of a rural poverty alleviation strategy with the geoparks directly employing 20,500 managers and administrators, and 464,000 part-time and full-time frontline workers (Ng 2017).3 Of course, China could be considered an outlier due to its population size and the sheer number of geoparks. A peer-reviewed study by Farsani et al. (2011) looked at employment numbers in a survey of 25 Global Geoparks in Europe, Asia (excluding China, which did not answer the questionnaire), Australia, and South America. It found an aver- age of 18 people were directly employed by a geopark’s administration. This did not count indirect employment impact in related industries such as food and beverage, accommoda- tion, or retail. We can infer from these numbers, versus those in China, that the number of people directly employed by a geopark depends on how its management board has decided to run the business and could vary greatly. For example, does the geopark run its own tours, have its own museum, or a dedicated visitors’ centre? In the Farsani survey, direct employment by geoparks included seasonal workers in visitor centres and as tour guides at sites, as well as facility coffee shops and those working in other 2Which can result in too many signs. Biosphere Reserves had better funding and could afford more signage which led to a higher profile than the geopark in which it was situated. 3The challenges of operating the brand have included managing such a “high demand for facilities and amenities, visitor management, environmental and heritage protection, and recruiting young people to work in remote parks.” NCO New Layout:Layout 1 04/02/2019 12:44 PM Page 4 PDS 18-2019 Appendix II May 8, 2019 Page 7 Page 297 of 401 NCO Policy Brief 5 January 2019 amenities. The survey found revenue-generating activities run directly by the geoparks included recreation/sports activities, themed restaurants, spas, and bakeries; “geoproducts”, and partnerships with existing businesses. Other activities designed to increase the awareness of the geopark and its benefits included education programs (workshops, conferences, tours), and conservation activities (p. 75-76). An economic impact study conducted for three of Portugal’s four Global Geoparks in 2014 (the fourth had just opened) found that visitor numbers had doubled since designation. (The parks had been designated between 2006 and 2014, but no indication was given for the timeframe of the increase.) All indicators, as self-reported by the managers, saw various increases in employment, number of restaurants, available beds, hotels, visitors from the school community, average expenses per visitor/day, average length of stay, and overall number of visitors. The estimated average income (which it reported as average “economic benefit” to the community) of the three parks was 424,940 Euros per year (approx. $647,398 CAD), 57 per cent of revenues from government sources (mainly municipal and regional), 19 per cent from private sources, and 24 per cent classified as “external”.4 The study found the initial cost of earning the UNESCO designation ranged from approximately 30,000 Euros to 80,000 Euros ($45,000 to $121,000 CAD), including marketing and management plans, inventory and assessment of geo-heritage sites, and a technical team (Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO, 2014, p. 55). The annual cost of affiliation, including the work of technicians, promotional rate payments to the Geopark networks, and participation in conferences, was estimated at 5,417 Euros ($8,100 CAD). In the United Kingdom,a 2013 report estimated the annual financial benefit that its seven Global Geoparks brought was 18.84 million pounds ($32 million CAD) – taking into account the estimated “cost of status” at 330,000 pounds ($562,000 CAD) or approximately 47,000 pounds each ($80,000 CAD) (UK National Commission for UNESCO, 2013, p. 12). The report stated that the designation had been used to increase tourism numbers which in turn brought spill-over effects into the local economy and the seven parks had secured a combined 4.6 million pounds/year in funding($7.8 million CAD), not accounting for revenues from visitor spending. Its Marble Arch Caves Geopark, given as an example, attracted 250,000 visitors per year which the report equated to an annual 3.9 million pounds ($6.6 million CAD) in visitor spending per year due to the UNESCO designation (pg. 14). sOURCesOFINspIRATION Part of the campaign to become a UNESCO Global Geopark, and retain its standing, is to network with already established Global Geoparks in order to gain insight, not only into best practices, but to gain ideas and inspiration into what is possible. Two geoparks that stand out as relevant to the Niagara experience are the English Riviera Global Geopark in South Devon, England and the Beaujolais Global Geopark in eastern France. But we have also included Hong Kong as a brief talking point – considered an urban geopark, it provides an example of how an already world-famous destination has used the branding. English Riviera The English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark in southwest England is an interesting comparative case for Niagara as it has been a popular domestic vacation destination pre-dating its 2007 UNESCO designation. The English Riviera has declared it- self an “urban” geopark with a population of 134,000 over 62 square kilometres, including the resort towns of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham, around Torbay.5 This area became well-known during the Napoleonic Wars when the families of naval officers settled in the area and word spread of its attractiveness. It was also once the United Kingdom’s largest fishing port. These days, tourism is its dominant industry, recording nine million bed-nights per year and employing 15,000 people either directly or indirectly. While the economic impact of the geopark, specifically, was not publicly available, the English Riviera Geopark Organization is mentioned more than once as part of the area’s tourism strategy moving forward as it aims to grow its visitor numbers. Between 2010 and 2015, this area saw a 12 per cent increase in domestic visitors and an eight per cent increase in their spending (to 274.4 million pounds in 2015, or $464.5 million CAD). The number of overseas visitors increased by one per cent and their spending by three per cent. Overall, in 2015, there were 4.5 million trips made to Torbay and 436 million pounds ($739.2 million CAD) spent. The English Riviera Global Geopark calls itself an “urban geopark” though 45 per cent of its land remains undeveloped as farmland, woodland, or open space. It has its own visitors’ centre, themed playground, and website promoting activities and trails centered around its 32 geosites. It encourages its business partners and commercial members to use the branding to “stand above the crowd” when seeking funding. The geopark operates within the established tourism community as one of 14 stakeholders in the Destination Management Group for the local authority. Its own management organization includes tourism, geography, heritage, business, and educational stakeholders, as well as members of the local council. (English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark website). 4No definition was given for “external sources”, but this would include entrance fees, etc. 5By way of comparison, Niagara’s population is spread out across 1,854 square kilometres.

This geopark located just northwest of Lyon, within view of the Alps, was designated in 2018 and makes the direct connection between its geological and hydraulic resources, and its viticulture, agriculture and history of its community. It currently has 26 geosites, ranging from historical buildings and sites, to vistas, trails, and protected areas. An interactive map of geo-activities on its website features guided tours and walks, museums and trails. As it is a new geopark, economic benefits are not available, and details about its structure are not yet publicly available. (Beaujolais UNESCO Global Geopark website). Hong Kong The Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark features outcrops of volcanic rock columns, other rock formations and historical relics that are about an hour’s drive from the centre of the city. The city of seven million people acts as host to visitors who make the trek to see the geosites via land-based or water-based tours. Tour guides are accredited. It has a Geopark Visitors Centre, a Volcano Discovery Centre, and several smaller “Geoheritage Centres”. It provides an example of how a world- famous city has used the UNESCO branding to enhance and diversify the visitor experience (Ng 2014, Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark website). CONClUsION The UNESCO Global Geopark brand is meant to be used as a tool for communities to support and promote their natural resources and geological heritage through sustainable development practices, including geotourism, conservation, and education. The goal of this brief is to introduce this relatively new concept to economic development, tourism, conservation, and education stakeholders in Niagara. This region has already claimed its spot as a world-famous destination, thanks to the Niagara Falls and adjacent historical and cultural offerings. Wineries, breweries, and agritourism are adding to the draw of Niagara – the region – as a tourism destination. So much of this success already hinges on the uniqueness of Niagara’s geogra- phy and geology, from the many waterfalls to the building and operation of the Welland Canal, to the soil and climatic factors that lead to a robust Niagara wine industry, particularly ice wine. Supporting a bid to become an internationally recognized geopark could even broaden the region’s appeal to those looking for a recreational and educational geotourism experience, the benefits of which can be shared across all 12 municipalities of the region. NeXTsTeps By Charles Conteh & Carol Phillips The vision behind the UNESCO Global Geopark initiative in Niagara is not disconnected from the economic and sociocultural advancement of the region, but rather constitutes another potential engine that can only further drive the tourism sector. It should also be emphasized that leveraging and promoting cultural assets is a fundamentally community-driven initiative if it is to be sustainable. This policy brief encourages all sectors to consider the benefits of a UNESCO Global Geopark and how they may each contribute to its use as a tool of sustainable economic development. To articulate the essential elements moving forward in a successful local geopark initiative, a framework from Jennifer Clark’s work on resilient regions is instructive (2017). There are four core characteristics of resilient and adaptive regions that could inform the strategic direction of the geopark initiative in Niagara. First, building a deep specialized team of local geopark “activists”; second, creating a legitimate platform of institution- alized intermediaries to connect the various organizations and interests invested in the region’s natural, environmental and cultural assets; third, cultivating an awareness of geoparks as fundamentally about the management of relationships and narratives between stakeholders in Niagara and the world; and fourth, a clearly articulated role for government at multiple scales of authority. The rest of this section elaborates on each of these elements. The first element is the need to cultivate a critical mass of local geopark activists who are knowl- edgeable and passionate about the region’s geological, geo- graphic, cultural and historical uniqueness. As a strategic step, this would involve effective outreach to, and partnership with, local schools and post- secondary institutions to inte- grate geopark training modules into existing curriculum, and host regular public workshops to raise awareness about the region’s stock of geopark assets. Ohnia: kara has already begun this outreach with programs in place at the post-secondary level. Engaging people of diverse backgrounds and leveraging their skills and passions to create a compelling local ecosystem of geopark activists is an important part of developing a convincing and sustainable initiative. In fact, a major reason UNESCO gives for the designation of a Global Geopark is its educational NCO New Layout:Layout 1 04/02/2019 12:44 PM Page 6 PDS 18-2019 Appendix II May 8, 2019 Page 9 Page 299 of 401 NCO Policy Brief 7 January 2019 benefits – increasing awareness and appreciation for geology by teaching the communities within the geopark, as well as visitors, about the region’s earth history. Most importantly, geology and its role in earth history also provides a portal through which to learn about Niagara’s Indigenous cultures which have existed here since time immemorial. With the help of Geospatial Niagara and the participation of Indigenous communities (such as the Niagara Regional Native Centre), educational units can be designed with hands-on experiences for students of all ages, elementary to post-secondary. As well, information at geosites, and on educational/promotional materials can also tell the story of the land from the Indigenous perspective. The second element in the geopark region’s strategic steps would be the creation of a platform for the institutional intermediaries that share the conservation and operational oversight of Niagara’s physical assets. This platform can serve as facilitator and provide the glue that holds networks of disparate actors together. As we noted earlier, geoparks often overlap with nature parks, national parks, and biosphere reserves. An effective institutional intermediary platform will pre-empt competition between brands and confusion amongst the public about the difference between them. Moreover, it will address the concerns of businesses and other stakeholders questioning the value of paid membership in a geopark. The cooperation of these types of groups is essential to the upkeep, enhancement, and promo- tion of geosites. Working together, such an environmental net- work platform will not only provide the multidimensional per- spectives for articulating and dif- ferentiating what a geopark can offer to the experience of visitors but also operationalizing those perspectives into quantitative in- dicators for measuring its impact on the established tourism sector as well as the local economy at large. This platform could serve as the management team with a business and marketing plan. Where this new platform or management team fits within the current Niagara tourism landscape is up for further discussion. But as we see from the English Riviera example, the intiative’s inclusion in Niagara’s tourism discussions and strategies is central to its success. A third element in the initiative’s strategic direction or next-steps is to frame its geopark initiative in terms of managing relationships and cultural narratives between Niagara and the world. Geopark assets are more than objects of nature. They are the critical relics of history that embody the natural heritage of a place. These relics provide the physical emblems that have shaped the worldview and even belief systems of many generations of Indigenous peoples living in the region. The geopark initiative provides a mechanism for sharing those narratives with tourists from around the world, and with Niagara residents as well who may not be familiar with those stories embedded in these natural vestiges of the distant past. This third element ties well with the concept of branding. The branding of a UNESCO Global Geopark provides an entrepreneurial opportunity to increase the number of, and expand existing, geotourism activities and visitor amenities. For those who have existing geopark-oriented businesses and events, the branding may help them build on their success by increasing international awareness of the geotourism opportunities in Niagara region. The fourth and final element in the initiative’s strategic next-steps is the question of the role of government. While there is a tendency to tout community initiatives with leader- ship provided by ordinary residents, the fundamental need for a clear role for local government leadership must not be lost or downplayed. A global initiative aimed at gaining the attention and winning the designation of UNESCO would require the backing, authority, legitimacy and resources of the state at various levels. To what degree, is a matter for discussion. A geopark initiative for Niagara needs a broad agreement at the regional scale and requires a regional approach – and there is a tourism marketing structure in place for that. Meanwhile, tourism has been tagged by Niagara Region as a pillar of economic development moving forward and the industry is a major employer locally. The challenge is to leverage the entirety of Niagara’s geographical and cultural assets to continue to grow the industry. The proposed Ohnia:kara geosites cut across regulatory, administrative, and operational lines. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, the Niagara Parks Commission, Parks Canada, Ontario parks, Niagara Escarpment Commission, St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, Niagara Region and its 12 municipalities all share responsibility for some facet of Ohnia:kara. Other than providing legitimacy to the efforts, what role can each level of government and regulatory body play? We should also bear in mind that Ohnia:kara provides an opportunity for greater recognition and appreciation for the role of Niagara’s Indigenous peoples in the area’s history and culture, which predates local governance structures. The Ohnia:kara Aspiring Global Geopark provides an opportu- nity to broaden the appreciation for the entirety of Niagara’s geological history and its impact on our cultural history through a means of sustainable economic development. For it to succeed, we suggest the geological “activists” and the tourism stakeholders must work closely together. This policy brief is meant only as a first step towards introducing the concept of a geopark to the Niagara community, outlining challenges and opportunities. What direction the geopark initiative takes is ultimately up to those relevant Niagara stakeholders.

Norio, Regional Clerk, dated February 28, 2019, respecting Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board Appointments, BE RECEIVED and the following recommendations BE APPROVED: 1. That Regional Council EXTEND the appointments of Councillors Bylsma, Chiocchio, Foster, Gibson, Greenwood, Heit, Huson, Insinna, Jordan, Steele, Whalen and Zalepa, on the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board for an additional period of three months; and 2. That the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board BE REQUESTED to provide recommendations respecting Board composition and the recommended qualifications and process for appointments to the Board to Regional Council for consideration. 3. That the Board of Directors of the NPCA DETERMINE the types of skills and/or experience required on this Board of Directors based on the mandate of the NPCA and subsequently providing a skills matrix for purposes of selecting those members to Regional Council before the end of April 2019; 4. That staff BE DIRECTED to develop a process that all lower tier municipalities can follow to determine who they will recommend as their representatives to the NPCA Board of Directors before the end of May 2019; and 5. That staff BE DIRECTED to develop a process that will determine a fair and acceptable mix of politicians to be responsible to Niagara tax payers to serve on the NPCA Board of Directors along side those chosen via the skills matrix before the end of May 2019. In accordance with the above motion, the appointment of the members of the current board will expire on June 6, 2019. As a practical matter, this is before the NPCA Board Page 305 of 401 Memorandum CL-C 39-2019 May 16, 2019 Page 2 meeting scheduled for June 19, 2019 and the Regional Council meeting of June 20, 2019. The appointment of the current Regional representatives on the NPCA Board was for a limited duration but with full authority to act respecting all matters of the Board. The Clerk’s Office is in receipt of correspondence from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board (attached as Appendix 1) advising that the Board passed the following resolution on April 17, 2019: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NPCA request to the Niagara Region that the twelve temporary members’ (or their replacements’) terms be extended, until such time as the appeal by the City of Hamilton is complete, and the agreement between the three municipalities is finalized. FURTHER THAT the NPCA Board and Staff recommend a list of competencies, modelled from the Alberta Public Agencies matrix, to the Region of Niagara in order that the Region can forward the competencies to their municipalities regarding whether they wish to recommend to the Region to appoint an elected or citizen appointees. Correspondence Item CL-C 18-2019 (attached as Appendix 2) provided information respecting correspondence received from some local area municipalities respecting a local appointee to the NPCA Board and outlined past practice with respect to the Board appointment of twelve (12) members. In response to the NPCA Board’s resolution to extend the twelve temporary members’ (or their replacements’), as Council may be aware, the NPCA levy appeal by the City of Hamilton has been completed; however an agreement between the three municipalities has not been finalized. In addition, A Better Niagara recently notified the parties that they are bringing back the application for a decision on the number of members the Region is entitled to appoint which is to be before the courts on May 13, 2019. In accordance with Council’s resolution on February 28, 2019, specifically recommendations 4 and 5, staff will be providing a report for Council’s consideration for the Regional Council meeting held on June 20, 2019, outlining processes respecting Board composition. Page 306 of 401 Memorandum CL-C 39-2019 May 16, 2019 Page 3 A resolution of Council is required to extend the current Board appointments.

Council subsequently passed the following resolution: That Councillors Bylsma, Chiocchio, Foster, Gibson, Greenwood, Heit, Huson, Insinna, Jordan, Steele, Whalen and Zalepa, BE APPOINTED to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board for a three month period. In accordance with the above motion, the appointment of the members of the current board will expire on March 6, 2019. The appointment of the current Regional representatives on the NPCA Board was for a limited duration but with full authority to act respecting all matters of the Board. The Clerk’s Office has received correspondence from some local area municipalities respecting a local appointee to the NPCA Board (attached as Appendix 1). Niagara Region’s Procedural By-law does not contain any provisions respecting appointments to the NPCA Board nor are there any policies related to this matter. Section 4 of the Conservation Authorities Act, provides that a regional municipality shall be a participating municipality in place of the local municipalities within the regional municipality and shall appoint to the authority the number of members which the local municipality would otherwise have been entitled as participating municipalities. Past practice with respect to the Board appointment of twelve (12) representatives, one from each local area municipality, has been to first ask the Regional Councillors who represent the municipality requiring representation whether or not they are willing to sit as a member of the Board. In the event that there is no interest from a Regional CL-C 39-2019 Appendix 2 Page 314 of 401 Memorandum CL-C 18-2019 February 28, 2019 Page 2 Councillor of that municipality, the local municipal council is notified. The local council then determines how they would like to fill the spot on the Board. This could be with a local municipal councillor or a local citizen. Council could decide to continue with the current appointment process practice; however, should Council wish to change this, the criteria and process would need to be defined. In considering this issue, Council may wish to seek input from the NPCA Board. A resolution of Council is required to extend the current Board appointments. Suggested wording is as follows: That Regional Council EXTEND the appointments of Councillors Bylsma, Chiocchio, Foster, Gibson, Greenwood, Heit, Huson, Insinna, Jordan, Steele, Whalen and Zalepa, on the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board for an additional <insert period of time>; and That the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board BE REQUESTED to provide recommendations respecting Board composition and the recommended qualifications and process for appointments to the Board to Regional Council for consideration.

Diodati & Members of Council From: William Matson, City Clerk Date: June 4, 2019 Re: City Representation to the NPCA Board The Region has forwarded information on the appointment process of community representatives to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) Board in hopes that Council will submit their recommendation for representation on the Board by July 31, 2019. A copy of the Regional correspondence is listed previous to this memo on the Council Agenda as CLK-C 2019-108 NPCA Board LAM Notification.pdf. Back in December of 2018 Council received a report from staff, CD-2018-07, City Representation to the NPCA Board (attached) that was received for information. At this time the City advertised for interested individuals to serve on the NPCA Board. As mentioned in the report, this list of applicants remained on file until the appointment process with respect to the Board was established for the 2019-2022 term. In addition to the applicants received in late 2018, Regional Councillor for the City of Niagara Falls, Barb Greenwood, who is currently appointed to the NPCA Board on an interim basis, has expressed interest in continuing to sit on the Board as the representative for the City of Niagara Falls. Her letter of interest is attached for Council’s consideration. Therefore, Council may wish to choose from the following names, the City’ representative to the NPCA Board. It should be noted that should Council wish, they could also choose any member of Council to sit on the Board as well. Most recently, the City’s representative was Mayor Diodati.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2018-07 City Representation to the NPCA Board RECOMMENDATION For the Information of Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The appointment process for the next term of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) Board has been in question for the past several weeks. Staff have been preparing for all possible scenarios should the need arise for City Council to make a recommendation for the appointment of a representative to the NPCA Board. BACKGROUND For the previous 2014 to 2018 term, Mayor Diodati was the City’s representative on t he NPCA Board. Regional Council previously offered each appointment to the Regional Councillor’s or the Mayor of each local municipality. On November 23, 2018, the City received correspondence from the NPCA Chair regarding a legal opinion on Order in Council (OIC) 2706/94 (dated October 12, 1994), which identifies the process to appoint Board Members to the NPCA Board. This correspondence is attached to the report as Appendix 1. As stated above, this direction for appointing NPCA Board Members differed from past practice, which is outlined in Appendix 2 (excerpt from the NPCA’s website). As a result of the potential Order in Council directive, it was entirely possible for there to be a need, or desire, to have citizen appointments to the NPCA Board. As a result, the City advertised for interested citizens to put their names forward to be considered to sit on the Board. This application process was advertised to close on December 7, 2018. At the Regional Council meeting of December 6, 2018 a motion was passed that an interim board of 12 Regional Councillors, 1 from each municipality, be appointed to replace the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Board for a period of 3 m onths, until it is determined how to proceed with the Boards composition effective immediately. Page 321 of 401 2 CD-2018-07 December 11, 2018 As a result of the actions taken at Regional Council, the 12 Niagara representatives to the NPCA Board will serve for 3 months, giving local municipalities time to determine how the communities will be represented at the NPCA for the current term. At the close of the advertised citizen application process to the NPCA Board, Staff ha ve collected the following 23 individuals, in no particular order, who have exp ressed an interest to serve on the NPCA Board: Chris Hogendoorn Lianna Carlyle Selina Volpati John Beam Tony Caruso Dianne Munro Rich Brady Karen Fraser Nathan Sauer Mark Cressman Angela Peebles Paul Colling Clarke Bitter Ronaly Meier Antonio Baldinelli Edward Klassen Jennifer Vida James Susin Christopher Reid Tawnya Hartford John Kotsch Helga Campbell Dinah-Lilia Mansour This list of applicants will stay on file and can be shared with Council, if needed, once the application process with respect to the NPCA Board is established for the 2019 - 2022 term. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE With the current application process on hold, as per the recent actions taken by the Niagara Regional Council, there is no action required from City Council at this time. Staff had gathered a list of citizen applications, should Council have been in a position to consider citizen appointments to the Board. Until further certainty is reached with regards to the appointment process, staff will keep the current citizen applications on file. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency: Ensure that governance structures are appropriate and effective.

Letter dated May 22, 2019 introducing the Audit and Accountability Fund which will allow eligible municipalities to access funding to undertake line-by-line reviews of their operations, led by independent third party experts, with a goal of finding administrative efficiencies of four cents on every dollar spent. 2. Letter dated May 29, 2019 outlining additional information about the program including a requirement to protect front line services in your outcome, eligibility criteria and important deadlines. 3. Audit and Accountability Fund Program Guidelines City of Niagara Falls is eligible to apply to the Audit and Accountability Fund for funding to undertake expenditure reviews with the goal of finding service delivery efficiencies while also protecting front line jobs. To be eligible the proposed review project will: 1. Review municipal service delivery expenditures to find efficiencies which could take a number of forms including: a. a line by line review of the municipality’s entire budget b. a review of service delivery and modernization opportunities c. a review of administrative processes to reduce costs 2. Result in a final report by an independent third-party review that provides specific and actionable recommendations for cost savings and improved efficiencies. 3. Review must be completed by November 30, 2019 and the final report must be posted publically by November 30, 2019 Page 333 of 401 A Great City … For Generations To Come Provincial expectation is that most review projects will be less than $250,000 though they will review each on case by case basis. Only third party service provider fees are eligible. Municipal administrative costs such as staff time are not eligible. 4. Audit and Accountability Fund: Expression of Interest Application Form Important Dates 1. If the City of Niagara Falls is interested in applying the City must contact the Province by June 14, 2019 to indicate same. 2. Completed Expression of Interest Form due by June 30, 2019. A Council resolution supporting this is not required but if there is one it is to be attached. 3. Final review must be complete and posted publically by November 30, 2019. Considerations/Action Required If Council is not interested in pursuing this: No action is required. This is a voluntary program. If Council is interested in pursuing this: Staff needs to contact the Province by June 14, 2019. Staff could then report back with further information at the June 25, 2019 Council meeting prior to the June 30, 2019 deadline to submit a completed Expression of Interest Application. Staff will need further direction from Council by June 30, 2019 as to what type of review they are interested in (i.e. line by line, service delivery and modernization, review of administrative processes). In speaking with KPMG who offers the service it was suggested the most cost effective way is to start with a service delivery review of either all areas or specific areas that Council has concern with and then focus in on a line by line review of any problem areas identified in the service delivery review. It is highly likely due to the five (5) month turnaround time from June 30, 2019 to November 30, 2019 that the municipality will need to sole source this review as there will not be time to go through the proper purchasing process. Council needs to be prepared to take action on any recommendations that arise from the final report with the idea that they would take effect for the 2020 budget.

Municipalities play a key role in delivering many provincial services that people across Ontario rely on.Taxpayers deserve modern,efficient service delivery that puts people at the centre and respects hard-earned dollars.The province has been clear that we expect our partners,including municipalities,to take steps to become more ef?cient. In March,we announced funding to support small and rural municipalities’efforts to become more efficient and reduce expenditure growth in the longer term.In order to support large municipalities in driving modernization and transformation,the government is establishing the Audit and Accountability Fund which will allow these municipalities to access funding to undertake line-by—linereviews of their operations,led by independent third-party experts,with a goal of finding administrative ef?ciencies of four cents on every dollar spent. In the coming days,Deputy Minister Laurie LeBlanc will be writing to your Chief Administrative Officers and/or Treasurers to provide more information about this application-based funding. Thank you once again for your commitment to demonstrating value for money.I look forward to continuing to work together to help the people and businesses in ‘communities across our province thrive.
