NEW BUSINESS IM 0 7J CAO-2013-06 Niagararalls October 22, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: CAO-2013-06 City of Niagara Falls Position on Regional Reports RECOMMENDATION That the position of the City of Niagara Falls on various recent Regional Municipality of Niagara reports be forwarded to the Region. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the last several months, the Regional Municipality of Niagara has prepared or commissioned reports concerning the relationship between the City and local municipalities and the way in which services are delivered. These reports include: • Sewage Pumping Stations and Forcemains (July 2010) • Emergency Dispatch Service Review (October 2012) • Water and Wastewater Service Delivery Review (March 2013) • Niagara Nodes and Corridors Study (Draft - June 2013) • Regional Development Phasing: Issues and Opportunities (August 2013) • Combined Sewer Overflow Control Policy (October 2013) • Inter-Municipal Transit Pilot Project - Ongoing The City of Niagara Falls has a position on each of the above noted reports that may not have been included or recognized in these reports to a satisfactory level. This report summarizes the City's position on each. October 22, 2013 -2 - CAO-2013-06 BACKGROUND Sewage Pumping Stations and Forcemains Niagara Region Public Works Department July 1, 2010 Key Issues The Niagara Region has jurisdiction and ownership of all new Pumping Stations and has assumed operation of most facilities except where there are minor technical issues. Existing Sewage Pumping Stations have been identified through comprehensive studies like Master Plans or Pollution Control Planning studies. New Pumping Stations required to accommodate growth are not included in the Region's Development Charge Background Study/By-law. As a result, development opportunity is limited by the ability of a developer to afford the front-end capital costs of such an installation. The City of Niagara Falls' Position The City of Niagara Falls has included the capital cost of constructing new Pumping Stations and Forcemains in its previous Development Charges By-law(2009) however the Region's policy questions the legality of collecting funds for an asset it doesn't (and will never) own. This appears to contradict the Development Charges Act (1997). More importantly capital investments of this nature generally are more affordable spread over a wider development base. Capital costs of$3 to $5 million are difficult to fund on a cash flow basis given the scale and rate of development in the City. The City's position is that the Region's policy should provide for the inclusion of Pumping Stations and Forcemains in their Development Charges By-law and permit, if necessary, arrangements for front-end financing agreements with a developer rather than forcing Area Municipalities to become interim financing institutions assuming all risks. Emergency Dispatch Services Review IBI Group October 23, 2012 Key Issues The Region commissioned a study citing inefficiencies in having four emergency dispatch centres in Niagara. As a result, the Niagara Regional Police Services, Niagara Emergency Medical Services were directed to participate in a dispatch review. Municipal fire dispatch centres, in Niagara Falls and St. Catharines were invited to participate as well. A$175,000 study by IBI Group was commissioned and submitted in October of 2012. The report recommended: • that the "Client group" secure commitments from their Councils to establish an operationally integrated Public Safety Communications System for Niagara October 22, 2013 -3 - CAO-2013-06 • as an interim governance arrangement, local and regional Councils should invest the Commissioner of Corporate Services of Niagara Region with the responsibility to establish and manage the approved system • the Commissioner of Corporate Services should secure initial financial resources to retain a Public Safety Communications Director, who would be responsible for funding and implementing the new Public Safety Communications System. The City of Niagara Falls' Position The initial political concern alluded to the four dispatch centres being too many in number and suggested that there must be operational and financial efficiencies possible if amalgamated. The study was directed to focus on options for change but objections were voiced that a compelling reason for change was needed. The City of Niagara Falls position was that the initial study should focus on a critique of the current system and whether it was working or not. This would then lead to a discussion of next steps. This part of the process was not addressed and the study proceeded on assumption that the existing system was not working. All of our emergency services have a good record for dispatching and Niagara Falls was the first in the province to achieve near simultaneous dispatch for tiered medical response. Also, the Niagara EMS dispatch was a pilot project within the province that has excelled at its level of service. The Niagara Regional Police Services have seen considerable upgrades in infrastructure and data transmission within the past few years. We are not a stalled inactive dispatch group. However, the goal became finding a roadmap for change and that was what was focused on. The cost to the taxpayer for a change from our existing system to a new model as proposed was not included in the consultant's report but they did suggest an estimated $1 savings per year. To put this in context, it was estimated within the group that the cost of the proposed change would be in the order of $30 to 50 million, causing the return on investment to stretch out over decades. The improved level of service to the taxpayers was unknown and could possibly be minimal. During the latter part of the study, there were significant changes to Regional representation on the committee. Throughout this period, the Region requested Niagara Falls and St. Catharines to bring forward a report outlining proposed directions leading toward the goals identified in the IBI report, but even after significant modifications to the initial draft, it was not determined to be something that the Fire Chiefs and CAO's of both communities wished to bring forward. The Region tentatively plans to take their report to Regional Council on October 24, 2013. The City of Niagara Falls position is that staff is satisfied with our current level of service. Our radio communication system is the most current technology and call volumes are handled efficiently. The City will review this matter further at such time as the call volumes October 22, 2013 -4 - CAO-2013-06 require additional staffing or communications infrastructure requires significant capital investment. Water and Wastewater Service Delivery Review Stantec March 2013 Key Issues The Niagara Region is one of only three remaining two-tier delivery systems for municipal water and wastewater services in Ontario. Regional Council, at its meeting of January 13, 2011 directed its staff to pursue a "Municipal/Regional Fiscal Service Review" of the water and sewer services provided across the Region. The key objective of the Review was to consider the potential for consolidated service delivery and to compare alternative models relative to the status quo. The Review further states that savings from changing the governance structure range from modest to significant, and concludes that the "status quo is clearly not the best strategy." It concludes that changing the governance structure would better prepare the services providers to face the future by: • Increased focus on water issues at the political level would greatly assist elected officials in advancing the objectives of a sustainable water and wastewater service • Improved focus on the challenges — managerial, technical and financial • Centralized strategic policy and decision-making • Established measurable, reasonable and easy-to-understand benchmarks • Tailored administrative processes and streamlined decision making processes The City of Niagara Falls' Position Staff has serious concerns about the assumptions and the conclusions drawn through this level of analysis. The Review fails to acknowledge the impact on those residents in the larger municipalities, specifically Niagara Falls who already are overpaying for water treatment and sewage treatment as part of the current governance model. While the status quo is not ideal, or perhaps not sustainable for some of the smaller municipalities, Staff believes that opportunities to achieve cost savings do not necessarily require a change in governance. Best management practices, bulk purchasing, shared expertise and equipment are easily coordinated through joint use arrangements and partnerships where they make operational sense. Local municipalities have the ability to make timely investment decisions regarding the replacement, expansion, and extension of their water and wastewater infrastructure. In addition, their debt capacity is supported by the value of these assets. Transfer of these October 22, 2013 -5 - CAO-2013-06 assets to a third party would reduce the ability for municipalities to make local decisions in a strategic manner that would attract development or redevelopment opportunity. The City's position is that, by adopting the recommendations arrived at in the Water and Wastewater Service Delivery Review, the municipality' s ability to make strategic decisions about our water and wastewater infrastructure will be compromised, and Niagara Falls residents will experience a decrease in the present level of service. Niagara Nodes and Corridors Study Dillon Consulting June 2013 (Draft) Key Issues The purpose of the report is to identify and understand the potential issues, opportunities, and challenges for developing a regional network of nodes and corridors. The document is intended to serve as a foundation for the Region to further refine and implement a Niagara Nodes and Corridors Strategy, leading to a comprehensive approach to transportation and land use planning for the Region. It is expected that the Strategy would include a Regional Policy Plan Amendment and a number of other implementation programs and projects. The City of Niagara Falls' Position Despite that fact that the study states that there are no Regionally Significant Corridors, staff is of the opinion that the QEW Employment Corridor should be so designated as it is a major gateway into the Region and has a bearing on the economic health of the Region. Identification of the employment lands in this corridor would be consistent with the Region's Nodes and Corridors Study because it takes advantage of existing infrastructure (roads, sewers and water), prominence, visibility and access to the QEW. This corridor, together with a node at the QEW Lyon's Creek interchange, should be included as the South Niagara Hospital, cited as a game changer in the Regional Development Phasing: Issues and Opportunities Study, is to be located in Niagara Falls which will serve as a catalyst in the midterm planning period. The City will be embarking on a secondary plan for the corridor in the near future. Staff is also of the opinion that the QEW/Sodom Road interchange should be designated as a Node, given its access and proximity to the QEW. Since this interchange is already recognized in the Region's Niagara Economic Gateway amendment, it follows that it should also be recognized in the Nodes and Corridors study. Staff would like to emphasize the importance of the GO Transit Mobility Hubs and GO Train stops as Regionally Significant Nodes. These nodes have the potential of creating a dense mixed use urban area, the impacts of which would be realized beyond the 800- metre radius of the node. October 22, 2013 -6 - CAO-2013-06 The study states that Niagara Falls is the only local municipality that designates a system of nodes and corridors. As part of the background for Official Plan Amendment No. 94, a thorough analysis of potential nodes and corridors was undertaken in order to identify the designated areas. As such, these areas are considered a priority for intensification and redevelopment. It is also of note that the study shows both the Downtown and the former Cytec Canada lands as the "Niagara Falls Mobility Hub." We would suggest that there is greater potential for realizing the mobility hub within the Downtown Node. This is evidenced in OPA No. 94 which recognizes that part of the Downtown, as well as lands to the north, as a Major Transit Station Area as defined by the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Staff also believes that the Morrison/Dorchester Node represents a better opportunity as a node for Regional Transit rather than the Cytec property. OPA NO.94 does not designate a node within the City's Tourist Core. The Drummondville Node is to be targeted for intensification of residential and commercial uses, and is an existing Community Improvement Area and a transit transfer hub (currently and with plans for expansion of this role). The Study states that the " . . . Warren Woods area has some potential (for being a node). although the Official Plan does not currently identify it as a strategic area for mixed use development." Staff notes that Warren Woods, actually the Garner South Secondary Plan (OPA No 99, approved in December 2012), is designed to meet 53 people and jobs per hectare. It has the potential for more than 2,000 jobs, greater than 2,000 square metres of commercial and mixed use floor space and will house approximately 6,900 people in a variety of housing types. Moreover, the northeast quadrant of the Plan Area is designated Residential, High Density, in part, to create a high rise node in proximity to the Niagara Square Retail District. The City position is that the criteria used in identifying Regional nodes and corridors is too narrow to recognize key nodes such as the Lyons Creek interchange and QEW corridor that are important economic development opportunities for Niagara Falls and the Region as a whole. Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control Policy Niagara Region Public Works Department October 2013 (Draft) Key Issues The Region has acknowledged its role in assisting the Area Municipalities to reduce the occurrence of combined sewer overflow discharges into the natural environment. The new policy proposes cost sharing for studies which is helpful to local municipalities. The Region has taken the position that source control projects on private property (down spout disconnection, weeping tile separation and backflow prevention) are not eligible for funding under the policy. By not considering these options, studies and projects are October 22, 2013 -7 - CAO-2013-06 skewed to focus on more expensive"end of pipe"solutions which don't eliminate the cause of combined sewer surcharging. The City of Niagara Falls' Position The City of Niagara Falls has taken proactive measures to address the primary cause of combined sewer overflows(CSO's)by implementing an aggressive Weeping Tile Removal Assistance Program (WRAP). This program provides homeowners with an opportunity to help flood-proof their homes and disconnect them from contributions to downstream problems by offering an attractive subsidy of up to $3,900. The elimination of wet weather flows should be regarded by the Region as an attractive initiative as they have responsibility for sewage treatment, and could reduce the need for premature capital investment of Wastewater Treatment facilities. Using their "end of pipe" approach, wet weather flows can be stored but still have to be treated. The individual cost to the homeowner is the biggest obstacle to achieving compliance. The funding otherwise allocated to storage alternatives could achieve more effective long term solutions for property owners in the community less expensively. It is the City's position that the CSO Management Action Plan (MAP) be revised to help fund the local area municipalities with source control programs that eliminate wet weather flows from entering the sanitary sewer collection systems. Regional Development Phasing: Issues and Opportunities Hemson Consulting Ltd. Final Report - August 21, 2013 Key Issues In an effort to satisfy Provincial appeals to the Regional Official Plan and the Growth Plan, Regional Council determined that the Regional Policy Plan should contain Region-wide phasing policies to guide future development. As part of a three-phase process, Hemson Consulting Ltd. is identifying the key issues and opportunities related to phasing in the Niagara Region, including growth outlook, land supply, servicing or other factors affecting the Region's competitive position. The City of Niagara Falls' Position It is of concern that the Region of Niagara entered into Minutes of Settlement with the Province in regard to conducting a phasing study in 2012, without consulting local communities until 2013. The City of Niagara Falls has serviced residential and employment lands that should be targeted as a development priority in Phase One. These lands include: October 22, 2013 -8 - CAO-2013-06 • Garner South Secondary Plan • QEW Employment Corridor • Chippawa West • Brownfield Pilot Project Area Phasing must be based on sustainable criteria. For example, substantial investment has been made in constructing the Garner and Grassy Brook pumping stations which will require further development in order recover expenditures.As such,these areas of the City should be a priority, in advance of areas which will require new or upgraded service. Infrastructure extensions or upgrades must also be within the financial means of the Region and the lower tier municipality. Gateway Employment Lands within the Regional Policy Plan should take advantage of criteria that maximizes the use, access and exposure to an existing 400-series highway. Niagara Falls is strategically positioned on the QEW to take advantage of economic opportunities. Therefore, lands in proximity to the QEW should be included as priority land development. Among the factors that phasing must recognize are the realities of the market. While staff appreciates and understands the "Grow South" strategy of the Regional Policy Plan, the market does not bear this out. The northern and central municipalities are experiencing significant growth in housing (despite being within the Greenbelt Plan Area) which demonstrates consumer preference to locate along the QEW corridor municipalities. While market demands must be balanced by land use and servicing efficiencies, phasing should not artificially favour lands where there is little market demand or highway access. Within the Updated Land Supply Summary, there are notable discrepancies between the amount of both greenfield residential and employment lands. The City does not calculate the supply within the built-up area in terms of land area, but in terms of unit supply which is determined through site-specific zoning. It was noted from the methodology that all Institutional, Commercial, Industrial (ICI) lands are considered to be employment lands. The inclusion of commercial lands as employment lands, if they are Major Retail, would be contrary to the Growth Plan. There has to be alignment of the Regional Policy Plan (RPP) and the City's Official Plan (OP). The City's Official Plan already contains a Phasing Strategy (Schedule B to the Official Plan, as amended by OPA #94). The development community has invested in lands based on the phasing strategy. Accordingly, these lands have to be accommodated in the Regional Policy Plan as an earlier phase over those areas yet to be established for urban development. The Phasing Strategy will assist the City in its upcoming Development Charges (DC) Review in the prioritization of DC projects, as well as the determination of an appropriate DC for the next five-year interval. Phasing can also play a role in encouraging intensification if done in tandem with DC's. This would allow the City to take advantage of its intensification opportunities. The allocation of works to be completed under Development Charges should be commensurate with the Regional Development Charges collected in that municipality. That is, spend the DC dollars in the municipality where they are generated. October 22, 2013 -9 - CAO-2013-06 In order for a Regional Phasing Strategy to be of benefit, phasing must first take advantage of existing opportunities. Foremost is utilizing the QEW corridor prior to expansion of highway systems elsewhere in the Region. As well, the Region should be maximizing the potential of the international bridge crossings within the three easternmost municipalities. These facilities are critical to the future of the Region. The Phasing Strategy must target the allocation of employment lands for the first development phase and synchronize this with the residential market. Niagara Falls has been the generator of jobs through the expansion of the tourism sector to the extent that employees are imported into the City to fill vacancies. The Strategy must establish the region's largest urban areas as the priority growth areas. These municipalities have the infrastructure, including public transit, and community services that would accommodate population and employment growth. The Strategy must emphasize the use of the QEW corridor as the major transportation corridor of the Region. QEW frontage lands should be prioritized, given their access and exposure throughout the Region, prior to expansion of road corridors yet to be established. The latter corridors should serve as later phases of the strategy. The Strategy must address intensification. Utilization of Built-up Areas, especially brownfields, for employment and residential uses should factor significantly in the phasing strategy. The strategy should also align with the CIP programs that are currently offered by both the Region and several lower tier municipalities. The City's position is that Niagara Falls' phasing should take full advantage of existing highway access, servicing and market to the Region's strategic advantage. The RPP must take into consideration the strategy established by the City's Official Plan. Private investment and land acquisition have been made based on the City's OP, and any changes will have implications. Phasing should not artificially favour lands where there is little market demand or highway access — it must first take advantage of existing opportunities. Inter-Municipal Transit— Pilot Project One Transit Ongoing Key Issues The Region approved proceeding with a Regional Inter-municipal Transit Pilot Project on June 23, 2010. The Pilot is to run for a period of three years beginning September 2011. The City approved entering into an agreement to purchase buses and provide manpower on behalf of the Region on September 20, 2010. The Regional Municipality of Niagara's Inter-Municipal Transit - Pilot Project is a triangular connector service that connects Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland, (with augmented connector services to Fort Erie and Port Colborne). The service is operated by the three Transit Operators on behalf of the Region. October 22, 2013 - 10 - CAO-2013-06 On July 26, 2012, a motion was made to hire a consultant (AECOM) to undertake a study for the implementation of a Regional One Transit" System. As part of the consultation process for the study, they are to include meetings with the municipalities currently operating transit services in their communities. Key comments made between the municipalities of Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland include: • The Region of Niagara is unlike any other Region that has One Transit System and the geography is not conducive to an integrated system with large areas of open space between our urban centres. Demographics in the GTHA are different and higher immigration rates and higher densities support a less car-centric lifestyle that is more conducive for transit. • There may be an interim step which may include expanding the pilot program but not until the program is completed and a proper evaluation conducted. There may be a role for the Region in establishing key hubs and running express service between those hubs. Also, the WEGO system in Niagara Falls is currently operating as a separate visitor-based transit system with some coordination with Niagara Falls Transit. The WEGO system is not to be considered for amalgamation into a One Transit scenario. • Reference was made to previous amalgamations where there was little compensation provided to the local municipalities for facilities which now serve the Region. • There is concern that Regional Transit or One Transit would result in a loss of level of service at a local level and loss of control of routes and scheduling, potentially resulting in deterioration of service. • There was a general consensus that the pilot project currently being operated by the municipalities and funded by the Region should run its full course and evaluation should wait until the end of the pilot period. It is possible that further traffic may materialize prior to the end of the pilot. This evaluation should include ridership, costs, and other performance metrics. The results should be made transparent. The City of Niagara Falls' Position The City of Niagara Falls currently does not support the concept of "One Transit" in the Region of Niagara, however, we are supportive of an express connector service between the major hubs —Welland, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls, including connector services to Fort Erie and Port Colborne with the potential to expand to other municipalities in the Region. Therefore, the City is supportive of continuing the operating model that has been developed as part of the current Pilot Project and is supportive of continuing the Pilot Project for an additional three years in order to better define and finalize the governance, operating and funding approach.

F-2013-56 NiagaraJalls October 22, 2013 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-56 Monthly Tax Receivables Report 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 September 30, 2013 were $24.6 million compared to $24.1 million in 2012. During September, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased slightly from 28.0% in 2012 to 27.9% in 2013. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2013. At this stage, 89.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirty-two properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tax collection for 2013 lags slightly behind the collectition history for 2012. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at September 30, 2013 are $24.6 million. This represents an increase from $24.1 million in arrears for the same period in 2012. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1, 2013, 389 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after nine months of activity. This table shows 89.2% of the tax accounts or 347 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During September, one account was paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments stayed the same from 89.2% (August) to 89.2% (September). October 22, 2013 -2 - F-2013-56 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 September, one property was registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 2.9%of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at September 30, 2013 is 27.9% which is a decrease from 2012's value of 28.0%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F-2013-57 Adding Provincial Offences Act (POA) Fines to the Tax Roll RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the agreement with the Niagara Region, and related execution by- law, to add defaulted Provincial Offences Act (POA) fines to the City's tax roll. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Region of Niagara has requested that the City of Niagara Falls enter into an agreement with the Region that will improve the collection of Provincial Offences Act(POA) fines. This action is beneficial to all twelve area municipalities, like Niagara Falls and the Region since all of the municipalities share in the revenue derived from POA fines. The agreement provides the City with the ability to collect the POA on behalf of the Region through the property tax system. Most of the municipalities in Niagara have already approved the agreement, while the others will be seeking Council approval of the agreement later this year. The collection steps outlined in the agreement is authorized under Section 441.1 of the Municipal Act Municipal Act, 2001 . The impact on municipal staff will be similar to the process for collection of other bylaw infractions permissible under legislation and will have minimal impact on city resources. Finally, it should be noted that this process will only be utilized once all other collection processes are followed by regional staff. BACKGROUND In January 2001, the Province of Ontario, as part of it strategy to realign provincial and municipal roles in the delivery of public services, transferred the responsibility for the administration and prosecution of Provincial Offences to the Niagara Region. The Niagara Region, acting as agent on behalf of the twelve area municipalities, has established its own administration and courtrooms to deal with charges laid under the Provincial Offences Act . Net revenues generated from the collections of POA fines are shared 50/50 between the Region and area municipalities. Assessment is used to further allocate funds to the lower tier. The City of Niagara Falls receives approximately$325,000 annually from POA fines and the funds are included in other revenue within the annual General Purposes Budget. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The POA Collections Department uses many methods to enforce the payment of outstanding fines. Suspending driver's licences, sending collection notices, pursuing civil October 22, 2013 - 2 - F-2013-57 enforcement, and the use of collection agencies, yet despite these collection efforts the number of delinquent fines continues to grow. The Region has recently approached the Area Treasurers in an effort to utilize another collections tool: adding POA fines to the City's tax roll. It is staff's understanding that the collection tool requested by the Region and included in this report will only be the used after all other collection actions by the Region have been exhausted and the fines remain unpaid. Section 441.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001 grants treasurers the authority to add defaulted POA fines to the tax roll for any property where the owners of the property are responsible for paying the fine and then collect the fine in the same manner as municipal taxes. If the property is owned jointly, the fine can not be added. Once all collection efforts have been exhausted, the POA Collections Department will provide the necessary documentation to add the fine to the owner's property tax roll. The funds will be forwarded to the POA Collections Department once collected. As part of the agreement the City shall, within 30 days of adding the defaulted fine to the tax roll, provide a written notice to the deafulted property owner. This method of collecting delinquent fines has been adopted by several municipalities across Ontario. Staff of the Region provided a presentation earlier in the year to one of the local Area Treasurer's Meetings and this presentation has been included for Council's reference. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications from adding defaulted fines to the tax roll. Once the defaulted fine is added to the property roll, the amount becomes like taxes and is subject to the City's penalty bylaw. As a result, the City will charge penalty which may provide additional incentive for the payment of the fines. The collection of defaulted fines may increase revenues for POA and in turn increase the amount of funds allocated to area municipalities.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-65 PLC-2013-008, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control Block 87, Registered Plan 59M-395 Chippawa West Phase 2 Subdivision Applicant: Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. (George Pietracci) RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the request and pass the by-law included in tonight's agenda to designate Block 87 on Registered Plan 59M-395, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of two years; and 2. That the developer be required to notify the City when the new deeds for the parcels have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. has requested that Council pass a by-law to exempt the lands from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership for the 6 on-street townhouse units. The request can be supported based on the following: • the use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the block is located within a registered subdivision; • By-law No. 2006-205 permits the proposed parcel sizes; and • the by-law will permit deeds to be created for the new parcels and permit them to be sold. BACKGROUND Proposal Rady-Petek & Edward Surveying Ltd. has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from Block 87(north side of Chemonda Street) in the Chippawa West Phase 2 plan of subdivision. The subject lands are illustrated on Schedule 1. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to lots and to divide blocks within registered plans of subdivision. In this case the removal of Part Lot Control is requested to allow the creation of separate parcels for each of the 6 on-street townhouse dwelling units being built on the block. Refer to Schedule 2 for further detail. October 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD-2013-65 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The subject lands are located within the Chippawa West Phase 2 plan of subdivision (59M- 395) which was registered in 2012. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for single- detached dwellings, semi-detached dwellings and blocks of land for on-street townhouses and group townhouse dwellings. A Building Permit was issued on October 26, 2012 to permit the on-street townhouse dwelling to be constructed on the subject lands. The dwelling and proposed parcel configurations are shown on the attached registered reference plan (Schedule 2). The subject lands are zoned Residential Mixed (R3-760) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2006-205. The proposed parcels comply with the zoning regulations. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt lots and blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control by-law is requested so that each townhouse dwelling unit can be sold with its own parcel of land. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted for two years to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period is acceptable given the amount of new residential development in the area. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Development charges were collected for the subject lots based on 6 units. Therefore, there are no financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

Diodati And Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2013-41 Lemon Road and Miller Road Removal of Bridge Weight Restriction RECOMMENDATION That the maximum 14 tonne weight limit for the bridge on Lemon Road, east of Montrose Road and the 2.5 tonne weight limit for the bridge on Miller Road, east of Sodom Road be removed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Engineering Staff has noted that upon completion of the Lemon Road and Miller Road bridges, there will no longer be a requirement for weight signs. Construction is anticipated to be completed by late October. BACKGROUND A maximum load limit of 14 tonnes for the Lemon Road bridge and 2.5 tonnes for the Miller Road bridge was put into force in 2011 following a structural inspection of bridges. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Construction to replace both bridges is anticipated to be completed in late October. The bridges will be able to accommodate loads as prescribed by the Highway Traffic Act. Therefore, a weight limit for these two bridges will no longer be necessary. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The removal of the signs is carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour cost is accounted for in the approved 2013 General Purposes Budget. Cost studies estimate that the cost to remove the signs is approximately $400.

This is the memorial day of the first abolition of the capital punishment in the Granducato di Toscana, on November 30th 1786. 2012 edition has been particularly dense with initiatives, participants and significance; it showed the abolitionist movement's vitality, recently expressed also during the World Congress on death penalty held in Madrid (June 2013). The debate on the death penalty is still necessary both to encourage abolitionist initiatives in the retentionist countries and to keep alive opposition to violence, State violence included, as a solution to problems related to justice and public order. We would like to involve your administration in the framework of various mobilizing initiatives to sensitize public opinion. All initiatives are promoted and organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio and the World Coalition against the Death Penalty,in Italy and many Others countries. Therefore I ask you, as soon as possible, to inform us on the initiatives that your city is going to undertake.You will find herewith attached the documents on the initiative and the ways to join it. Looking forward to receiving your kind reply,we express our deepest esteem.

The date was chosen in memory of the first abolition of the death penalty: it happened in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany on the 30`h of November 1786. Approximately 80 cities got involved for the first edition in 2002. Today more than 1600 cities joined the initiative - including 70 capitals in five continents, which are taking part on this Day by raising public awareness, by promoting educational initiatives and by organising events held in monuments and symbol-squares. The International Day "Cities for Life" - tCities against the Death Penalty,is the largest international mobilization of the abolitionist movement. Its objective is to establish a "4.4 dialogue within the civil society on the topic V4); = j and to involve local administrators. This to ensure the abolition of death penalty and the waiver of violence become the true identity of the city and its citizens. The Colosseum in Rome, when illuminated by a unique light, has become the universal place and symbol of the abolitionist battle. The Colosseum is If. I r f - lightened up whenever an important milestone on ����� t the road to abolition and lasting moratorium is ►1� r F T• w r reached in the world. OF j` I To make your city to take part to this movement of ' : $ 2 � - Cities Against the Death Penalty, please contact the coordination secretariat (abolition4sante2idio.org). Through this channel all the materials are made available on request (like videos, significant international witnesses statements and invitations) and the many worldwide initiatives are communicated. www.santegidio.org http://nodeathpenalty.santegidio.org/index.aspx ATTACHMENT 2 How to join the Global Campaign "Cities for Life — Cities against the Death Penalty" Examples of pro-active initiatives to be taken by each city who wants to join the Campaign: • To give consent to advertise your city as a member of the cities for life — cities against the death penalty, without any burden, if not a moral obligation to agree with the contents and intention of the campaign. • To designate a special monument,identifiable with the "soul" and identity of the city, as the living logo of the campaign, deciding a special way to light it up: by switching from the usual light style to a new one, expressing the positive choice for human rights of your city, or projecting on it special symbols and nessages, on nov 30th each year and approaching that date. • Following This, And As Additional Actions, Some Among The Following And Others Can Be Taken, In Collaboration With The Community Of Sant'egidio And The International Ngos — Mostly Members Of The Wcadp - That Promote In Your City The Campaign: • Designate a person, an office, that will become the contact of the Community of Sant'Egidio and the promoters for all initiatives relating to the Global Campaign. • Join, with a resolution of the city council and by means of the individual signatures of the representatives the Appeal for a universal moratorium. • The monument, building or place of major significance in your city, chosen for the purpose of illumination or decoration from 28 to 30 November 2013, will become significant also on other occasions connected to the defeat of the death penalty (e.g.: a state that abolishes the death penalty, or establishes a moratorium on executions or even commutes massive numbers of death penalty sentences...). • Every city has the authority to declare November 30 as "Day for life/against the death penalty", and, if it so wishes, can place the phrase" "City member of "Cities for Life/Cities against the Death Penalty" beneath the name of the city or its symbols and on its website and on any statement or stationery or means it may choose (a communication of the decision is to be shared with the promoters of the Campaign so as to advertise it in proper way as "good news"). • Every city can link the home page of its website by means of a link to the website of the Community of Sant'Egidio (wwy x.santegidio.org) which links up directly with the page of the Global campaign against the Death Penalty, www.santegidio.org/pdm/logo cities.htm. A link will also be with www.worklcoalition.or; . This page contains the complete fist of all the cities that have joined the campaign. Besides, it is appropriate that every city that joins this campaign should endeavour to advertise its support of the campaign in the local press. Pictures or short videos of the events around the logo-monument of the campaign will be provided by the city to the home-website of the campaign, starting from Nov 29th each year, in order to create a "catalogue" of the world campaign available by Nov. 30`k each year and for the whole year. • Every city can invite citizens to sign the Appeal for the General Moratorium on executions with a view to the final abolition of the death penalty, by means of a communication campaign and a choice of several places, such as public buildings and museums, where it will be possible to sign a copy of the appeal. The text of the Appeal is provided by the Community of Sant'Egidio and it is also available for signatures online. • Every city is encouraged to undertake cultural, public initiatives to raise public awareness (that could be supported and organised in conjunction with the Community of Sant'Egidio, its associates, and co-promoters from the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty,worldwide. • Every city can "adopt" someone who has been condemned to death , through schools, the youth, taking all the actions needed to get up to a more just trial in case of lack of defence, and in any case to save the life of the person sentenced to death (publicity if it is appropriate for the case, correspondence,visits,legal defence,moral and practical support, public demonstrations...). • Every city that so wishes can participate in the International Fund for the legal defence of those condemned to death, already created by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The entrance fee is 10 euros, 12 usd, 9 bp. Every city has the possibility to approve every year—but it is not bound to do it—any additional amount to increase and refill the International Fund. • Every city can advertise and encourage citizens to click on line for a 2 euros/ US dollars/British pounds contribution to the same Fund. The online link for credit card/Paypal donations is provided by the promoters of the campaign. • Bigger events, concerts, that may included fund raising, advertising, sms/mobile phone donations to support the international movement against the death penalty are, of course, among the possibilities and strongly encouraged. • Special initiatives that link "art cities" (such as Rome, Paris, Venice, Barcelona, but also smaller ones from Salzburg to Siena) can involve special communication on the Campaign on the tickets and advertising of exhibitions during the last week of November each year, and propose a "gift- matching" with the international tourists who would agree about participating with a one euro offer for the human rights campaign. • Cities are not bound to deposit funds in order to join the campaign,exception for the 10 euros. • Donations are used to guarantee the right to defence also for the most disadvantaged: it is a tool for a higher standard of international justice. Many of the capitals and cities of Europe have contributed, so far, to this fund. Donations are to be sent to: Account no. 807040 Comunita di S.Egidio-ACAP Onlus IBAN: IT67D0760103200000000807040 SWIFT/BIC code : BPPIITRRXXX Reason for payment: International Defence Fund for Death Row prisoners.

The Act does not allow holiday openings except for certain exemptions, which are outlined in the Act. There is a process to apply for a tourist exemption. The exemption is done through Region not the City. There is a fee and the Region will hold a public meeting before granting the exemption. The Region asks the lower tier municipality to sign off on the application first. The regulations of the legislation state that a retail establishment has to be located within 2 km of a tourist attraction and relies on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday. Most applications for such an exemption in Niagara Falls have been approved. Niagara Falls City Council has gone on record in the past asking that the Province to give the City the authority to determine statutory holiday openings. As a tourist community, where many businesses are already legally open on statutory holidays, there seems to be less of a desire to maintain the former"pause"days under the legislation. In fact,the applicant, Wal mart,has likely opened on Statutory Holidays in the past, likely unaware that there was an approval process necessary. Council has supported other similar requests of this nature,most recently,for the Target department store. RECOMMENDATION: That Council support the request.

We recently held a meeting inviting community partners to join us in developing a WW1 (100th Anniversary next year) portal to be hosted on our library website. We want to engage the community to gather as much information as possible and thought it would be good to show Council and generate some interest now during Public Library Month and Remembrance Day etc. Andrew Porteus, Head of Adult Reference and Information has polished up a power point (featuring a former WW1 vet who went on to become Mayor) to be presented by our Board Chair Dr Louis Visentin. Would either October 22 or November 12 be possible?

This core group of players and coaches have been together since 2010 when they won their first Provincial Championship in Senior Rookie ball. They have won three consecutive Provincial Championships. This year, they add a fourth provincial championship. On Labour Day weekend, the Falcons traveled to Windsor to compete in the OBA Championships. In their first game on the Friday afternoon, they faced Sarnia and won 22-1 . The Falcons then went on to face Waterloo, Peterborough and London on Saturday. Niagara defeated these teams with a balance of strong defensive play, solid pitching and an explosive offence. On Sunday, the Falcon's next opponent was Barrie and the Falcon's bats once again came to life sending Barrie packing. The Falcons made it to the final round and then faced the same London team they had defeated the last two years at the `A' Provincial Championships. The game did not start well as London came out strong and Niagara was quickly down by a score of 11-2. The `never say die' Falcons continued to fight and play hard and eventually were down only one run going into the final inning. The Falcons scored three runs in their half of the seventh to go up by one run. The Falcons held their lead in the bottom of the 7th and in the end, they were crowned the 2013 `AA' Provincial Baseball Champions. Members of the Provincial Champions are listed below: Andy Berti Leif Burciul Owen Diodati James Egan Kyle Fortuna Noah Fortuna Willy Jackman Lucas Lafortune Dennis Lescombe Mason McRae Anthony Stranges Andrew Waters Mike McRae, Head Coach Ryan Diodati and Ty Burciul, Assistant Coaches Mark Fortuna.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2013-64 Official Plan Amendment No. 113 Proposal to Lift the Deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node RECOMMENDATION That Council receive comments regarding Official Plan Amendment No. 113, which proposes to lift the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node and that staff work to resolve any concerns raised. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On January 31, 2012, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 94, an amendment to bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Staff recommended, at the time, that the Morrison/Dorchester Node be deferred in response to Council's concerns regarding: • the Optimist plan of subdivision; • the re-tenanting of the former WalMart building; and • the proposed redevelopment of the Canadian Home Products site. These matters have now been addressed and the public meeting is being held to receive comments. Staff are currently working to address the comments received to date. BACKGROUND On January 31, 2012, Council adopted OPA No. 94, an amendment to bring the Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. OPA No. 94 was appealed to the OMB. The only outstanding appeal is that by Paletta International regarding the deferral of the Morrison/Dorchester Node. OPA No. 94 designated areas for intensification (nodes and corridors) within the built boundary area. The Morrison/Dorchester Node provided an overlay for residential development to strengthen the commercial viability of the district. Staff recommended deferral in order to provide additional time to investigate and resolve some outstanding matters that may have had impacts on the policies for this Node. These were: October 22, 2013 - 2 - PBD-2013-64 • the re-tenanting of the former WalMart building; • the appeal of the application to convert the former Canada Home Products site to residential development; and • to deal with the subdivision application on the Optimist Park lands. Since the adoption of OPA No. 94, the above matters have been resolved insofar as: • the former Walmart building has been occupied by Target; • the appeal of the former Canada Home Products application has been upheld by the Board, thereby approving the proposed residential redevelopment; and • the Optimist plan of subdivision is registered and now being serviced. Circulation Comments • MHBC Planning - clients (RioCan, Home Depot) are not opposed to the amendment but have concerns regarding the absence of a policy protecting existing non-residential uses from future residential development. Staff are negotiating a mutually agreeable policy to be included in the amendment. • Mark Sirtzinger, Pettit Avenue - would like to see a height limitation to 2 storeys and increased landscaping provisions. Amendment No. 113 is permissive so as to provide policies to introduce of residential uses within the node. It does not impact remove policies or regulations which would allow the node to develop at greater than 2 storeys under current commercial zoning. Should a developer apply to change the zoning of a parcel of land to permit residential uses, the policies of OPA #113 would prevail. Planning Analysis The Morrison/Dorchester Node was identified because of the extent of commercial land, employment uses and the development potential of the former Canada Home Products site, the former Acres site as well as Optimist Park. The Node serves as a municipal and regional transit hub. Arterial roads provide the opportunity to accommodate traffic. The node policies provide for a height and density regime that respects existing neighbourhoods by directing the taller buildings and higher densities to lands south of Morrison Street and west of Dorchester Road. There are also urban design policies that promote street frontage buildings, pedestrian accessibility, consolidation of parking (including consideration of parking reductions and shared parking) and the provision of amenity space. The former Canada Home Products site was removed from the node by Council and is subject to Official Plan Amendment No. 111. These policies would remain in place. CONCLUSION The policies provide for compatible intensification of the node. The previous concerns regarding the redevelopment of properties within and adjacent to the node have been resolved. Staff are continuing to work towards a resolution of the concerns received. October 22, 2013 - 3 - PBD-2013-64 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications associated with the proposed amendment. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Adoption of OPA No. 113 contributes to the City's Strategic Commitment for a Well Planned City.
