It is shown in heavy outline on the plan attached. In the past, it has been the City's policy to authorize the closing and conveyance of laneways in this area only if all of the laneway could be conveyed to the abutting owners, at no cost to the City. This would eliminate the problem of landlocked portions of the laneway being retained by the City. In 1993 a requcst was made to close this lancway. Since many of the abutting owners were unwilling to share in the cost to close and convey the laneway, the request was denied. Earlier this year the same request was made. We received 9 replies in favour of closing and purchasing thc laneway. Responses have been noted on the plan attached. Since not all of the owners are in agreement staffcannot recommend the closing and conveyance of the entire laneway. The owners at thc most southerly end of thc laneway have requested that thc City consider closing and conveying only the most southerly 150 feet of the laneway.

Box 1023 4310 Queen Street Niagara lFalls, ON L2E 6X5 December 10, 2003 Dear .Mayor Ted Salci, I am writing to request a proclamation for "Marriage Checkup Week" on February 9-14, 2004. During that week our association is conducting a public awareness campaign to promote healthy marriages through annual checkups. Marriage checkups are designed to strengthen and protect marriages by helping couples of all ages and descriptions examine their relationships on a regular basis. We would like annual marriage checkups to become as routine as annual medical checkups. We know you will agree that healthy marriages and healthy families are the lifeblood of the community. During Valentine's week members of our non-profit association will offer free one-hour marriage checkups to the public as a conununity service. The marriage checkup helps identify the unique strengths as well as the potential trouble spots in a relationship. Couples sit down with a trained Marriage and Family Therapist who can help prevent small problems from becoming more serious ones. It is our association's way of saying "Happy Valentine's Day" to Niagara Falls. Our publicity materials will feature a cross-section of couples, young, old, same-sex, and members of diverse cultural and racial groups. Niagara Falls is the home of many rich traditions and varied communities. Our aim is to promote healthy marriages and prevent the painful breakdown of marriages across the board. We ask that you support our public awareness campaign by issuing a proclamation that February 9-14, 2004, is "Marriage Checkup Week". Thank you for your kind consideration of our request.

Box 1023, Cily Hall 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Mayor Salci, As you know, gambling has become much more accessible across Ontario in recent years. This form of recreation has opened up new leisure opportunities for many of our citizens and generated much needed revenues for provincial and municipal governments. Unfortunately, the expansion of gambling has led to the growth of problem gambling as well. There are currently over 350,000 individuals in Ontado with moderate to severe gambling problems. Fodunately, the govemments that benefit from gambling revenues have recognized the importance of addressing the problems related to gambling through research, treatment and prevention programs. I am writing to you today to seek your support for a new problem gambling awareness program that is being piloted in selected communities across Ontario. Within Limits Responsible Gambling Awareness Week is a pilot program funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and organized by the Responsible Gambling Council. It is supported by various stakeholders in the community including Niagara Alcohol & Drug Assessment Service, Niagara Regional Police, WARM 0Nomen's Addiction Recovery and Mediation), Delta Monte Carlo Bingo, Casino Niagara, Fort Erie Racetrack and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. Within Limits Responsible Gambling Awareness Week was developed to: *Promote safe gambling practices among Ontarians who gamble to minimize gambling related problems *Ensure that Ontadans have the information, skills and encouragement to reduce their dsk that they will develop a gambling problem with special attention to those at increased risk *Ensure that those with gambling problems know that services and supports are available and where to get help 3080 Yonge Street, Suite 4070, Box 90, Toronto, Ontario M4N 3N1 T 416 499 9800 F 416 499 8260 E mail@r§co.org 12-16--O3; We would greatly appreciate your involvement in making the RGAW initiative successful in Niagara Falls. Specifically, we would be delighted to have you proclaim the week of February 16-21, 2004 as "Within Urnits- Responsible Gambling Awareness Week Comes to Niagara Falls' and respectfully request that two banners be hung up in the community for the duration of the week. We would be honoured if you would host the Niagara ~'alis launch of the proclaimed week with opening remarks on Monday, February 16, 2004~, 11:00 am in the LaMarsh Meeting Room at the Victoria Avenue Library. We expect that the launch event would involve brief comments by you, officials from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as well as the local treatment provider, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and the Responsible Gambling Council. We believe it would attract media interest and provide all of our organizations with an opportunity to visibly' support initiatives designed to prevent problem gambling.

BACKGROUND: As mentioned in a report on appointments to various committees that this writer prepared last month (cf CD-2003-22), it is necessary to go ahead with appointments to the Niagara Transit Commission. Traditionally, in January, the Commission comes before Council for their annual financial request. In light of the recent municipal election, there are only two sitting Commission members: His Worship Ted Salci, who remms as a member because of his position as Mayor and Lou Stranges, who is half way through his two year appointment. There are three vacancies. One vacancy has occurred due to the election of Jim Diodati to Council (Alderman Diodati was halfway through his two year term,.). An Act Respecting the City of Niagara Falls sets out the composition of the Transit Commission as follows: (1) The Commission is a body corporate and shall consist of five members, as follows: 1. The mayor of the City, during his term of office. 2. Four members appointed by the council of the City, two of whom shall be appointed each year for a term of two years. As a result of the above, Council must fill two (2), two year vacancies and one (1) individual to fill in for the rerriainder of the term vacated by Alderman Diodati. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks · Finance · Human Resources · Information Systems · Legal · Planning & Development - 2 - CD-2004-01 Voting will be done by secret ballot. Each Council member will be allowed to vote for three (3) candidates. The two candidates receiving the highest vote totals will be appointed to the two-year terms, with the third place vote getter filling the one-year vacancy. In the event of a tie vot.e for third place, a mn off vote will take place. Also, it is foreseeable that there could be a tie for second place, in which case a mn off would occur to determine who is appointed to the two-year term versus the one-year term. Pre-printed ballots will be available to assist in the process. A list of candidates is attached. The set of applications have been provided in your agenda package. Finally, the appointment will be formally ratified by by-law at the next Council meeting.

Eng. Director Members: Re: MW-2004-05 Amendment to the Cash-in-Lieu Agreement with Gupta Souvenirs 5697-5701 Victoria Avenue RECOM MEN DATIONS: It is recommended that the Cash-in-Lieu Agreement between the City of Niagara Falls and Gupta Souvenirs Ltd be amended to reflect the option for carrying out a Parking Demand Analysis. BACKGROUND: Council at its October 20, 2003 meeting, directed staff to review Gupta Souvenirs parking requirements as defined in the cash-in-lieu agreement to include the provision for a Parking Demand Analysis. In 2003, the applicant had entered into a cash-in-lieu agreement with the City for a total of 20 parking spacing for which the applicant was not able to provide on-site. Calculations for the cash-in-lieu contribution is based on zoning by-law requirements. The objective of a parking demand analysis is to demonstrate the actual parking requirements a development needs to operate effectively, which may on occasion differ from the zoning by-law. The analysis is prepared on a site specific basis and includes a review of various factors including, but not limited to, the size of the development, the use(s) within the building, the location and patronage. Under the auspices of the City, Totten Sims Hubicki has substantiated a reduction to the Gupta Souvenir property from 20 spaces to 11 cash-in-lieu spaces. However, given that the study was completed during the off peak season, the field analysis component was not carried out which resulted in conservative standards to be used. Thus, Mr. Gupta has requested that the study be enhanced to include a detailed assessment of parking and tourist behaviour during the peak summer season. Mr. Gupta has provided sufficient funding to carry out the necessary studies. January12,2004 -2- MW-2004.05 Staff will be requesting the consultant to further refine the recently completed Parking Demand Analysis in July 2004 to include activity during the peak tourist season. Should the results warrant a further reduction to the parking requirement less than the 11 spots recently assessed, it is suggested that Gupta Souvenirs be refunded any overpayment from the 2004 cash-in-lieu contribution paid in January 2004. Furthermore, an amendment to the Cash-in-Lieu agreement that was originally executed January 2003, between the City and Gupta Souvenirs to include the option for the completion of a Parking Demand Analysis is required. Council's concurrence with the recommendations outlined in this report would be appreciated. Prepared by: C.E.T. Manager of Traffic Operations Ed Dujlovic, P. Eng.

Eng. Director RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that By-law 89-2000 is amended to reflect regulations pertaining to parking control restrictions and intersection traffic control devices according to various subdivision agreements. BACKGROUND: Within the City of Niagara Falls, various subdivisions have recently been completed or are in the process of completion in particular, Garner Estates, Williams Subdivision, Beaver Valley, Brookfield Court, Graham Street Extension and Orchard Grove West. On several streets it is necessary to install parking restrictions, as per the conditions in the subdivision agreement. Furthermore, traffic control signs are also required at several locations to ensure that motorists have the right-of-way allocated within the intersection. Therefore, staff is recommending that the following regulations be implemented and the appropriate signs installed. 1) Parking be restricted at all times on: a) the northeast side of Graham Street from Delta Drive to the northern limit b) both sides of Beaver Valley Way from Beaverdams Road to Beaverton Boulevard c) both sides of Cuviello Court from Clare Crescent to the northern limit d) the north side of Mullen Court from West Lane to the eastern limit 2) A stop sign be installed on: a) Graham Street at Delta Drive facing eastbound motorists b) Cuviello Court at Clare Crescent facing southbound motorists Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works · Fire Services · Parks, Recreation & Culture · Business Development · Building & By-Law Services January !2, 2004 -2- MW-2004-10 c) Montcalm Crescent at Weinbrenner Road facing southbound motorists d) Campbell Avenue at Weinbrenner Road facing southbound motorists e) McGarry Drive at Parkside Drive facing eastbound and westbound motorists f) Julie Drive and McGarry Drive facing northbound motorists g) Feren Drive at Kalar Road facing eastbound motorists h) Racey Avenue at Kalar Road facing eastbound motorists i) Beaver Valley Way and Beaverton Boulevard facing northbound motorists j) Greenfield Crescent at McGarry Drive facing southbound motorists k) Heikoop Crescent at Parkside Drive facing westbound motorists; and, 3) By-law 89-2000 Schedule "P" be updated to reflect the existing intersection control at: a) Weinbrenner Road and Willoughby Drive b) Kalar Road and McGarry Drive c) McLeod Road and Parkside Road d) Kelly Drive and McGarry Drive Council's concurrence with the recommendations outlined in this report would be appreciated.

This Contractor has previously performed similar type projects for other municipalities in Ontario. We are therefore, of the opinion, that this Contractor is capable of successfully undertaking this project. Financing: The Engineer's estimate for this contract was $170,000.00. Project Costs: Awarded Contract Net GST (3%) $158,680.85 $ 4,760.43 TOTAL $163,441.28 Funding: 2004 Municipal Works Capital Projects $163,441.28 TOTAL $163,441.28 To allow the City lands west of the Mountain Road Landfill Site, the future Mountain Road Sports Park, to be developed for recreational purposes, the Ministry o fEnvironment Certificate of Approval for the Mountain Road Landfill site requires that clean earth fill be placed on these lands to provide adequate cover over the ground water table. In October 2002, the City received the approval of the Niagara Escarpment Commission to place clean earth fill to the required contours. Since the Mountain Road landfill site closed on October 31, 2000, City of Niagara Falls contracts has stipulated that the contractors must dispose of all clean earth fill from City projects at a private dump site. At times, contractors had problems locating acceptable dump site locations. This has resulted in Contractors adding these additional tracking costs and dump site grading costs to the unit costs tendered. Therefore, some of the cost to grade the Mewburn Road site will be offset by savings on City road, sewer and watermain contracts, for the disposal of the clean fill material. The Mewburn Road Sports Park site will allow the City to dispose of clean earth from the City's projects until the fall of 2005. In the past, developing the Mewburn Road site has proven to be not financially feasible or timely, January 12, 2003 - 3 - MW-2004-13 due to the cost and time to fill the site. Once the fill has been placed and graded, the Mewburn Road Sports Park site can be developed. This project is scheduled to commence on January 27, 2004 and all works completed by October 28, 2005. Council's concurrence with the recommendation made would be appreciated.

BACKGROUND: For the past 35 years Fire Services has been recording its telephone calls to the dispatch center. This allows us to confirm addresses and conversations in regard to all forms of emergency calls and legal liabilities. Our current voice logger is outdated and has undergone a number of repairs. Its usable service life has been reached and it is no longer able to serve our needs. It is used to tape all incoming calls and radio channels to the Fire Services Communications Center from the City as well as the Town of Lincoln which purchases dispatching services from us. A request for proposals was originally circulated to three major voice logger manufacturers. Three companies responded to the RFP with quotes. All companies included one (1) year parts and labor warranty. All companies included instant recall equipment. Fire Services is recommending Cartel Communications Systems based on Cartel being the provider of our new radio interoperability platform, plus: additional equipment for downloading the information and calls for long term record storage or court purposes is built into this unit; rack mountable format required for space saving purposes; expandable taping capabilities are included; equipment is readily adaptable to our radio system; no annual licence fees regardless of the number of listeners; 24/7 on site service (Cartel is the only company which provides this service); Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works · Fire So.ices · Parks, Recreation & Culture · Business Development · Building & By-Law Services - 2 - FS-2004-01 meets the requirements for the new Corporate telephone system; software used requires no additional hardware; and has wide acceptance due to its performance, by other Canadian Government agencies. The following competing companies and their costs are illustrated: Company Cost Dictaphone "Freedom" $40,064.00 (plus tax) Cartel "Eventide" $36,900.00 (plus tax) Panda "Black Vox" $34 245.00 (plus tax) FINANCING: Sufficient funds are being requested in the 2004 Capital Budget to fund this purchase.
