Report MW-2002-18 - Waste Management Fee Structure
The Director of Municipal Works advised Committee of the proposed changes to the waste
management fee structure. To address concerns raised by commercial property owners, many
of whom chose to opt out of the service, staff reviewed the options available to ensure that the
City would receive the necessary revenues in order to fund the waste management services
provided by the region. Under Section 208 of the MunicipalAct, the City can apply a monthly
rate to charge property owners for the waste management services. This rate would be a flat
tax applied to all property owners and the option of opting out would not be allowed. The rate
would be applied to the tax address, not the municipal address as at present.
Several commercial property owners were in attendance at the meeting. Mr. Barry Lang of
Kindy's Furs spoke to the high costs of the present system being the reason he had opted out.
For his four stores, he was billed a total of $2,412.76.

waste be used to generate revenue for Regional Waste Management Services.

RE: MW-2002-23
Review of Monthly Parking Rates
Ed Dujlovic, P. Eng.
Director
MW-2002-23
File G-180-14
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that:
1)
2)
the 2002 monthly parking rotes, as approved by the Community Services
Committee and Council, be endorsed by this Committee; and,
this report, along with this Committee's recommendations, be forwarded to the
Community Services Committee for review.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Committee at it's meeting of Jan,ary 14, 2002, referred a request from
Gaylord Niagara Investments Inc.(attached), to the Municipal Parking and Traffic Committee, for
review and to report back to the Community Services Committee with it's recommendations.
The Municipal Parking and Traffic Committee at it's meeting of January 15, 2002 requested that
staff prepare a report on the issue.
In September of 2001, at the request of the Community Services Committee, Staff prepared a
report (attached), on monthly parking rotes, based on a comparison of other Municipalities in the
area. The outcome of the review determined that our rates were the lowest and not
representative of either a Community of our size or a parking operation of our size. It was
subsequently recommended that all monthly parking rotes be increased by $10.00 per month
effective January 1, 2002.
Following the approval of the new rates, notices were forwarded to all existing monthly parkers
on November 15, 2001, advising them of the new monthly rates that would come into effect on
January 1, 2002. In addition, the new rates were also posted in the office for those coming to the
counter. To date, there have been very few who have taken the time to complain about monthly
February 19, 2002 -2- MW-2002'-23
rate increases.
Further to the attached letter and the presentation at the Community Services Committee, Mr.
Juliar states that he is acting on behalf of many Downtown Business owners with respect to the
50% increase in monthly leased parking rates for the downtown lots. He feels that the new rate is
unwarranted, in light of the locked in rate extended to Acres House. Further, the new rates pose
a significant increase to many businesses and that this action serves as a disincentive in bringing
new businesses to the area. Mr. Juliar requested the Community Services Committee to consider
treating everyone fairly by reversing its decision and allowing everyone to pay the same rate as
Acres House.
In 1996, an agreement was signed between the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) and the City of
Niagara Falls, where the City would provide a total of 175 parking spaces, for a 10 year period, at
a cost of $10.00 per space per month. In addition, the ORC also contributed $75,000.00 towards
improving and paving the former King Edward Parking Lot to help free up some parking spaces.
The make-up of the parking spaces consist of 90 parking spaces in Municipal Parking lots 1, 2
and 19 and the remaining 85 parking spaces are from City Hall controlled parking areas, the latter
of which, do not affect the parking fund. This agreement was conditional upon the sale of the
building and was later transferred to the new owners of the Acres House building, O & Y
Properties Inc.
At the time of the preparation of the agreement, Council consulted the Downtown BIA and the
general consensus was that the City should do whatever is necessary to see that the property was
occupied. At no time, was it ever agreed that the City would ensure that this type of arrangement
or these rates would be available to other businesses in the Downtown Area. The rates were not
frozen.
In order to give this committee all the facts, with respect to the costs associated with the parking
operation in the Downtown area, an examination of the current parking operation is outlined
below.
The are eight (8) municipal parking lots in the downtown area, with a total of 422 parking spaces,
of those, the majority (298) are monthly leased parking spaces.
The breakdown of expenses and revenues are as follows:
2001 Downtown Parking Lot Operations
Daily Operation Costs $ (95,000.00)
Total Revenue $ 58,000.00
2002 Downtown Parking Lot Operations
Dally Operation Costs
Total Revenue
$ (95,000.00)
$ 102,000.00
Net Revenue $ -37,000.00 Net Revenue $ 7,000.00
Daily operation costs include snowplowing, sanding and salting, equipment purchases, general
maintenance and taxes. Please note that the administration and capital works costs have not been
included in the above figures.
Febmaryl9, 2002 -3- MW-2002-23
Based on the above evaluation, the Downtown Parking Lot Operation, with the new hourly
parking rates combined with our new monthly lease rates are able to cover our Daily
Operating Expenses.
Therefore, it is recommended that 2002 parking rotes, as approved by Council, not be adjusted.
The Committee's concurrence with the recommendations outlined in this report would be
appreciated.

Monthly Lease Parking - Review of Rntes
Ed Dujlovic, P. Eng.
Director
MW-2001-122
File G-180-14
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that effective January 1, 2002, monthly Ica.sc parking rates be increased'by
$10.00 per month.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Committee, at its' meeting of August 13, 2001, requested that
review the monthly lease parking ~tes currently being offered by the City. The last time monthly
lease parking rates were adjusted was in the Summer of 1995, when thc Downtown Parking and
Traffic S~xategic Plan recommended a rate adjtl.shiient. Shortly thereafter, in thc Fall of 1995, at
the request of the Downtown Board, Council reduced lease parldng rates by $10.00 per month in
the Downtown area.
Currently, the monthly lease rates are $15.00 aud $20.00 per month in the Downtown area
(depending on the location). Lease parking in the tourist core is $35.00 per month, however,
parking in the tourist core is generally only allowed during thc off-peak times and over the years
there has only been 1 or 2 vehicles who have leased parking here, currently there are none.
A review of the monthly lease parking in other municipalities with similar operations is outlined
below (sales m.xes not included):
City of Welland: $15,00 to $25.00 for surface lots
City of St. Catharines: $30.00 to $43.00 for surface lots and $67.00 for parking slxuctures
City of Hamilton: $27.00 to $60.00 for surface lots and $84.00 for parking structures
Of the three municipalities that were surveyed, the City of Niagara Falls has the lowest monthly
rates. Based on the size of our operation, our monthly rates should fall between the City of
Welland's rates and the City of SC Catharines rates. Therefore, staff is recommending that
effective January 1, 2002, that all monthly parking lease rates be increased by $10.00 per month.
This effectively would put us at $25.00 and $30.00 per month(S45.00 in the tourist core).

Niagara Falls, Ontario
Dear Alderman Craitor,
DEC 2 0 2001
RECEiV~.b
We have received notice of the intention to increase the monthly parking
rates in the city owned lots to $30 a month. We are opposed to any rate increase
and feel the City of Niagara Falls should treat all users of City parking lots on an
equal basis, Since the tenants of Acres House are receiving the benefit of a $20
monthly parking rate for another 4 ½ years we feel that we should be receiving
the same rate for the same period of time.
All citizens and companies that pay for a service from the City need to be
treated on an equal and fair basis. For someone to receive a special deal from
the city and someone else not receiving that same deal is contrary to good public
policy,
We respectfully request that the City of Niagara Falls cancel the rate
increase and continue to charge all monthly parking permit holders $20 a month
so as to treat everyone fairly.

Attn: Kim Craitor, Chair, .
Parking and Traffic Committee
This letter is to voice my concem over the 50% increase in the 2002 downtown parking
rates. A reasonable increase in parking rates is understandable. An increase of
$138.00/year is quite unreasonable.
In 1999 1 chose to open a small business in the Niagara Peninsula, and after reviewing .
commercial properties, I decided to open in downtown Niagara Falls. I operate a
specific service, with no walk-in clientele, and can easily operate in any local area. For
many reasons though, I chose Niagara Falls.
Unhappy with this parking increase, I began to speak to other merchants downtown.
There are concerns that the tenants of the Acres building were granted a favourable long-
term parking rate, which we smaller tenants are having to subsidize. Niagara Falls has a
reputation of supporting tourism, at the expense of the local retailers. Perhaps a more
reasonable parking increase would go a long way in showing support to local businesses.
I would appreciate notification of any upcoming Parking & Traffic Committee meetings,
on this matter. Thank you.

Re: Parking
To Whom It May Concern:
We would like to raise our objection to the increase in the Parking rates for the lots in thc
Downtown area.
Shopping Malls have taken the majority of business and revenue previously done in the
Downtown area making it difficult for the businesses lef~ to survive. This in turn creates
a very depressed area where no one wants to live or start a business. The result being
vacant buildings and no taxes being paid.
Therefore it would only seem reasonable that the City do what they can to encourage
those businesses that are currently here, to stay. Increasing the parking rates bY 50%
might look like a smart business move but what is gained if, when the opportunity arises
for a Downtowrt business to open eIsewhere, the cost of parking becomes a major
consideration.
Employees who are forced to pay in order to work at the Downtown place of
employment chose not to work in these places because it decreases their take home pay.
This then becomes an issue when we are trying to get staffto come here to work.
You are penalizing people who are currently paying taxes at home, trying to make a
living and keep the Downtown area alive. You might as well take a bulldozer and cie. ar
the whole area out because if you don't have people to work down here the Businesses '
will move and you will be left with one great BIG PARKING LOT. See ho~,:much
revenue you will make if there is NO ONE HERE ~[!!. J

RE: MW-2002-23
Review of Monthly Parking Rates
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that:
1)
the 2002 monthly parking rates, as approved by the Community Services
Committee and Council, be endorsed by this Committee; and,
2)
this report, along with this Committee's recommendations, be forwarded to the
Community Services Committee for review.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services Committee at it's meeting of January 14, 2002, referred a request fxom
Gaylord Niagara Investments Inc.(attached), to the Municipal Parking and Traffic Committee, for
review and to report back to the Community Services Committee with it's recommendations.
The Municipal Parking and Traffic Committee at it's meeting of January 15, 2002 requested that
staff prepare a report on the issue.
In September of 2001, at the request of the Community Services Committee, Staff prepared a
report (attached), on monthly parking rates, based on a comparison of other Municipalities in the
area. The outcome of the review determined that our rates were the lowest and not
representative of either a Community of our size or a parking operation of our size. It was
subsequently recommended that all monthly parking rotes be increased by $10.00 per month
effective January 1, 2002.
Following the approval of the new rotes, notices were forwarded to all existing monthly parkers
on November 15, 2001, advising them of the new monthly rates that would come into effect on
January 1, 2002. In addition, the new rates were also posted in the office for those coming to the
counter. To date, there have been very few who have taken the time to complain about monthly
February 19, 2002 -2- MW'-2002-23
rate increases.
Further to the attached letter and the presentation at the Community Services Committee, Mr.
Juliar states that he is acting on behalf of many Downtown Business owners with respect to the
50% increase in monthly leased parking rates for the downtown lots. He feels that the new rate is
unwarranted, in light of the locked in rate extended to Acres House. Further, the new rates pose
a significant increase to many businesses and that this action serves as a disincentive in bringing
new businesses to the area. Mr. Juliar requested the Community Services Committee to consider
treating everyone fairly by reversing its decision and allowing everyone to pay the same rate as
Acres House.
In 1996, an agreement was signed between the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) and the City of
Niagara Falls, where the City would provide a total of 175 parking spaces, for a 10 year period, at
a cost of $10.00 per space per month. In addition, the ORC also contributed $75,000.00 towards
improving and paving the framer King Edward Parking Lot to help free up some parking spaces.
The make-up of the parking spaces consist of 90 parking spaces in Municipal parking lots 1, 2
and 19 and the remaining 85 parking spaces are from City Hall controlled parking areas, the latter
of which, do not affect the parking fund. This agreement was conditional upon the sale of the
building and was later transferred to the new owners of the Acres House building, O & Y
Properties Inc.
At the time of the preparation of the agreement, Council consulted the Downtown BIA and the
general consensus was that the City should do whatever is necessary to see that the property was
occupied. At no time, was it ever agreed that the City would ensure that this type of arrangement
or these rates would be available to other businesses in the Downtown Area. The rates were not
frozen. ~
In order to give this committee all the facts, with respect to the costs associated with the parking:
operation in the Downtown area, an examination of the current parking operation is outlined
below.
The are eight (8) municipal parking lots in the downtown area, with a total of 422 parking spaces,
of those, the majority (298) are monthly leased parking spaces.
The breakdown of expenses and revenues are as follows:
2001 Downtown Parking Lot Operations
2002 Downtown Parking Lot Operations
Daily Operation Costs
Total Revenue
$ (95,000.00) Dally Operation Costs $ (95,000.00)
$ 58,000.00 Total Revenue $ 102,000.00
Net Revenue $ -37,000.00 Net Revenue $ 7,000.00
Daily operation costs include snowplowing, sanding and salting, equipment purchases, general
maintenance and taxes. Please note that the administration and capital works costs have not been
included in the above figures.
Februabj 19, ~002 -3- MW-~.009.-~.3
Based on the above evaluation, the Downtown Parking Lot Operation, with the new hourly
parking rates combined with our new monthly lease rates are able to cover our Daily
Operating Expenses.
Therefore, it is recommended that 2002 parking rates, as approved by Council, not be adjusted.
The Committee's concurrence with the recommendations outlined in this report would be
appreciated.
