In September 2011,the Regional Municipality of Niagara,the St. Catharines Transit Commission,the City of Niagara Falls, and the City of Welland entered into a pilot project agreement to formalize the provision of inter-municipal transit through the establishment of Niagara Region Transit (NRT). Today, inter-municipal transit service is provided through a combination of Niagara Region Transit and post-secondary link routes. Inter-municipal transit has a number of benefits to the Region, each local municipality and its residents. Notably,the introduction, improvement and expansion of inter-municipal transit: • Provides cross-boundary mobility to education, employment and medical and other services); • Supports transit ridership to future GO Train service in Niagara (reducing local congestion near GO stations); • Facilitates economic development by businesses that are seeking a connected workforce; • Contributes to a high quality of life for Niagara residents; and • Supports sustainable community development. While these benefits demonstrate the need for strong inter-municipal transit connections in the Region, ridership and cost recovery on Niagara Region Transit services has not reached the levels initially projected. This is in part due to the challenge of providing service in a large, dispersed geographic area as well as the limited integration of services,with post-secondary routes often duplicating Niagara Region Transit routes. On a positive note, Niagara Region Transit has seen steady year-to-year growth in both ridership and revenue, and public opinion surveys completed have supported the continued operation of inter-municipal transit. The existing pilot will expire in May 2017 and a decision needs to be made regarding the structure and delivery of inter-municipal transit services, including how inter- municipal transit is integrated with post-secondary and local transit services. The recent provincial announcement confirming GO Train service between Hamilton and Niagara Falls by 2023 has added extra impetus to move towards an integrated transit framework. The Niagara Inter-municipal Transit (IMT) Working Group was formed as a result of motions from Niagara Regional Council, St. Catharines City Council, Niagara Falls City Council and Welland City Council supporting the three municipalities working together to develop options on how best to continue to enhance inter-municipal transit. Dillon Consulting Limited, in association with McNeil Management Services and the Gooderham Group, was retained to assess the existing inter-municipal transit service in Niagara Region and develop potential options for future delivery of inter-municipal transit services for consideration by the Niagara IMT Working Group. This included an assessment of options for service delivery, governance,fare integration,fare payment technology and trip planning. Governance A key objective of this study is to assess the Status Quo service delivery and governance structure and determine whether this model is the most appropriate to deliver on the mobility needs and aspirations of residents based on the five guiding principles identified by the Niagara IMT Working Group. Region of Niagara Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy Executive Summary I ii Niagara Region was originally established as a regional municipality without any jurisdiction over transit. Once the pilot program has expired,the Region would need to pass a by-law to upload all or part of the lower-tier' municipal jurisdiction to establish, operate and maintain' a public transit system to the 'upper-tier' municipality, conditional upon obtaining a triple majority vote. This triple majority vote is required even if the Region stays involved at the current 'Status Quo' service delivery model where the Region provides funding and supports decision-making of inter-municipal transit services. With this in mind,three service delivery and governance models were assessed that involve the Region's continued involvement in conventional transit. 1. Maintain the Status Quo: In this model, local transit continues to be funded by each municipality while inter-municipal transit services is funded by the Region or through a direct agreement with a post-secondary institution as part of the U-Pass initiative. 2. Consolidated Transit Model: The St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland Transit systems combine their services into one large Consolidated Transit system. This model maintains control of transit system planning with local municipalities. The Region continues to be involved in funding and decision-making and supporting inter-municipal connections outside of the consolidated service area. 3. Regional Transit Model:The Region plans,funds and delivers all local and inter-municipal transit, with the amalgamation of the multiple local municipal transit systems throughout Niagara. Transit is planned and delivered for the entire region by one body, providing opportunities for service integration and the development of a seamless network. The three models were reviewed and evaluated using a business-case approach. The criteria for the evaluation were based upon the objectives of the guiding principles defined by the Niagara IMT Working Group.Table E-1 presents a summary of the evaluation. It should be noted that the WEGO Visitor Transportation System is not considered to be part of the Governance review and will remain a separate entity owned by the City of Niagara Falls.

Region of Niagara Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy 16-3660. Executive Summary I iii Based on the evaluation of the three service delivery and governance models,the Consolidated Transit Model is recommended. The Consolidated Transit Model strikes a balance between local and inter-municipal transit needs. Approximately 80 percent of existing transit trips in Niagara Region are local in nature and the recommended model allows for a greater focus on local needs than the Regional Transit Model. The model also places a higher degree of accountability on the three largest transit systems in the Region (where 98 percent of all transit trips take place)to make decisions that balance both local interests with inter-municipal connectivity, integration and optimization. Continued involvement by the Region within this new organization will provide needed funding and decision-making input to ensure inter-municipal connectivity objectives continue to be met. It is recommended that the Region establish a special funding arrangement with adjacent municipalities outside the Consolidated Transit Service Area to assist in establishing inter-municipal transit links. This type of arrangement could include the Region funding 100 percent of fleet capital costs and 60 percent of the operating cost of inter-municipal services,subject to Council approved service guidelines being met and the service being integrated with services in the Consolidated Transit Service Area. It is also recommended that a Technical Advisory Committee is formed which includes representation from these adjacent municipalities (including representation on a Commission). This will allow the interests of all municipalities in the Region to be considered in the decision-making process. Transit Service Plan A seven-year Inter-municipal Transit Plan was developed based on the recommended Consolidated Transit Model being in place. The plan is based on a strategy to optimize existing inter-municipal transit services and improve service levels by reducing duplication between existing Niagara Region Transit and U-Pass funded post-secondary services within the Consolidated Transit Service Area. The optimization of these routes results in the ability to increase peak period service frequency(every 30 minutes), extend evening service and introduce Sunday service on a number of routes without a significant increase in revenue service hours. Improvements are also recommended to better connect to the new GO Train stations and enhance service levels on routes connecting to Port Colborne and Fort Erie. A number of inter-municipal service extensions were also recommended. Service extensions include connections to growing municipalities using fixed-route services (West Lincoln), integration with existing GO Bus services (Grimsby/Lincoln) as well as the use of Dynamic Transit service concepts in low demand areas (including two pilot projects in Wainfleet and Crystal Beach). Improved connections between local services and inter-municipal services are also recommended, including fare integration with Pelham Transit, expanding the Dynamic Transit service concept to Niagara-on-the-Lake and service integration with WEGO. Figure E-1 illustrates the entire recommended inter-municipal transit network in Niagara Region by 2023. Fare Strategy An inter-municipal fare strategy was developed that includes recommendations for an integrated fare structure,fare payment technology and a methodology for fare sharing. A Hybrid fare structure is recommended that includes a move to a: • common local municipal flat fare structure, including consistent transfer policies; and • two-zone inter-municipal service fare structure.

All inter-municipal transit trips that originate and terminate within the Consolidated Transit Service Area (Zone 1)would be charged a single flat fare and include free local transfers to and from St. Catharines Transit Commission, Niagara Falls Transit,Welland Transit, Pelham Transit,and Niagara-on-the-Lake Transit. All inter-municipal trips that originate and/or terminate outside the Consolidated Transit Service Area (Zone 2) would be charged at a single flat fare with free local transfers to all local transit systems. A small premium is charged if two inter-municipal routes are taken on a single trip. To facilitate seamless travel and fare payment within the Region,the adoption of a single,seamless integrated smart card is recommended for the Consolidated Transit Commission,as well as to adjacent transit operators. PRESTO (operated by Metrolinx), is currently in the process of revising its service offering, focusing first on implementation within the GTHA. This is likely to take at least a year before more information is known. As such, it is recommended that the various transit systems in Niagara wait at least a year to receive an update from PRESTO on the next version of its smart card and the potential cost to Niagara. When this information is available, it is recommended that an RFP process be initiated and budget proposals solicited from smart card system vendors to provide a smart card system. Regional Integrated Trip Planning To facilitate seamless travel throughout Niagara Region, a regionally-integrated trip planning platform is highly desirable. This will help customers navigate the multiple transit networks, display relevant schedules and connections, and show the most efficient routes between origins and destinations. Due to the availability of Google Maps, it is recommended that transit systems continue making their route information,schedules, and real time locations available through this platform (coordinated through a staff member in the Consolidated Transit Commission). In addition to this, it is recommended that each transit system in the Region sign a formal letter of intent to participate in the TripLinx platform, a one- stop trip planner and information resource that provides information on all Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA)transit systems. Each system should also explore feeding data into TransitApp. This will provide three options for customers to comprehensively plan inter-municipal transit trips. Transit Investment Plan The Inter-municipal transit investment plan outlines the short and medium-term steps necessary to move to the Consolidated Transit Model and implement the recommended inter-municipal transit service plan,fare strategy and integrated transit trip planner strategy. Adoption of the Consolidated Transit Model will come with an increased annual operating cost. While there are some efficiencies to be gained with consolidation,this is offset by various cost increases such as standardizing wages between all systems and upgrading systems to enhance the overall level of transit service. It is important to note that the reason for moving towards a Consolidated Transit Model is to improve the opportunity for integrated and seamless mobility in the Region. This is very similar rationale that was used by municipalities in the Regions of Waterloo, Durham and York when they moved towards a Regional structure. The estimated system-wide gross operating cost increase to move from the Status Quo Model (2017 rate)to the Consolidated Transit Model is approximately$400,600. If passenger and U-Pass fares are Region of Niagara Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy 16-356 Executive Summary I vi subtracted from this,the net system-wide annual operating cost increase would be approximately $262,200(see Table E-2)2. This only represents a 1 percent increase over the Status Quo Model and is also more cost-effective than the Region Transit Model. This cost increase should be off-set over time by increases in ridership and revenue, as the move towards consolidation will increase the ability of each municipality to create a more integrated transit network. Welland Transit would see the largest increase in their operating rate with the move to consolidation and discussions would need to take place as to how to equitably distribute this cost increase between the participating systems.This should occur in the next phase of the study as more detailed cost estimates are calculated. Table E-2:Anticipated Operating Cost Increases with Consolidation Gross Operating Costs Total Annual Municipality R/C Ratio Consolidated Transit Service Hours Status Quo Model Model Niagara Region 46,400 0.22 $4,573,100 $4,665,700 St. Catharines 195,994 0.53 $21,601,800 $21,702,100 Niagara Falls 95,729 0.48 $10,467,600 $10,470,100 Welland 39,036 0.31 $3,605,600 $3,810,800 'Total 377,159 1 $40,248,100 $40,648,700 Note:Net operating cost estimates are based on a high-level estimate and will need to be further refined in the next phase of the move to the Consolidated Transit Model. A financial plan for the recommended inter-municipal transit service strategy was also developed. Forecasted net operating costs (minus revenue) distributed to each municipality is illustrated in Table E- 3. The increase in net operating costs is due both to service expansion recommendations and an increase in the average hourly operating cost on an annual basis (a 2 percent annual increase due to inflation was assumed). The financial plan does not account for any growth in the average fare. As a next step, a more detailed fare strategy should be conducted to determine potential modifications to the fare structure. This may help lower the overall municipal investment noted below. In addition to this municipal investment, between $440,000 and$1,800,000 annually is required to operate a smart card system (depending on the smart card alternative selected). This will be split between the municipalities using the smart card technology within and outside of the Consolidated Transit Service Area based on vehicle ownership/use. Capital costs for the short-term (years 1-3) period is estimated to be in the range of$9,262,000 to $15,900,000 to fund inter-municipal transit fleet expansion, expansion of maintenance facilities in St. Catharines and Welland (primarily due to local transit needs) and implementation of a smart card system. Capital costs for the medium-term (years 4-7) is estimated to be in the range of$1,220,000 to $1,250,000 to fund further inter-municipal transit fleet expansion and the development of a mobile app for Dynamic Transit. Table E-4 illustrates the cost distribution by municipality. 2 Note:This is based on a high-level analysis and would require a more detailed assessment of operating costs of each system to confirm the average rate increase under the Consolidated Transit Model.

Region of Niagara Niagara Transit Service Delivery and Governance Strategy :15-2,664 Executive Summary viii Next Steps The move towards a Consolidated Transit Model will require additional studies and assessment prior to requesting support of all Councils within Niagara Region.There are four key steps recommended prior to seeking triple majority for Niagara Region's involvement and forming the corporation (Municipal Services Board). 1. Adopt the business case study presented in this report. Update the business case with more detailed information before taking to vote for creating the Consolidated Transit Commission (Municipal Services Board)and triple majority approval of the transit by-law. 2. Retain legal assistance to investigate the process to transfer assets and liabilities to the new corporation. 3. Undertake public consultation to meet the legislative requirements for forming a Municipal Services Board. 4. Establish and agree to a budget and funding mechanism for the new corporation (including minimum base-line funding for first year of operation). This should include how revenue and other funding is distributed to each municipality to off-set operating and capital costs. It is anticipated that this process could take at least four months and would require the assistance of an independent management consulting firm. If triple majority is achieved for the Region's involvement in conventional transit services, a number of steps will need to be taken to implement the Consolidated Transit Model. It is anticipated that these steps will take at least twelve months and may require some assistance from a consulting firm(s). The first step would be to extend the pilot for inter-municipal transit services funded by the Region for up to one year. This will allow for continuous operation of inter-municipal transit services. Following this, a Joint Municipal Working Group should form several sub-working groups to manage the following tasks: 1. Confirm the organizational structure of the Commission. 2. Develop Transit Goals, Policies and adopt the recommended Service Guidelines. 3. Resolve human resources issues such as recruitment and transferring unionized staff. 4. Address finance issues including transferring of assets and liabilities, development charges and distribution of fares and operating costs. 5. Work through legal issues including new union contract an dispute resolution mechanism 6. Develop a communications and marketing strategy. 7. Begin to work through implementation of the new structure, including branding, integration of information technology systems, comprehensive fare strategy, distribution of Provincial Gas Tax revenue and implementation of the 2023 Service Plan. There would be a one-time cost associated with implementing the new transit system. This includes various follow-up studies (specialized transit study, marketing and branding strategy, legal fees, development charges study, etc.)that would be completed in 2017 and 2018 at a cost of approximately $450,000 to$740,000. In addition to this,there will be some one-time implementation costs including communications, bus restriping, bus stop replacement (with new brand),website development, new map and schedule production, etc. This would likely be budgeted for 2018 and cost approximately $704,000. These implementation costs would need to be distributed to each participating municipality based on an agreed to formula.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2017-06 Niagara Falls Tourism Request RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Niagara Falls Tourism request of $300,000 matching funds from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) Contribution Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, the City's contribution agreement with OLG was revised to provide additional funding to the host municipality. At the time that the municipality received this funding, staff recommended a number of uses for the funds. While the bulk of the expenditure commitments were for infrastructure reinvestments, tax levy subsidy and contract for policing, Council agreed that investment into economic development initiatives were important. In 2015, Council approved a funding commitment towards a Destination Marketing Campaign conducted by Niagara Falls Tourism. In 2016, the City contributed $250,000 towards the program in partnership with Niagara Falls Tourism and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership. The request for the City is $300,000 this year. Staff believe this is an investment consistent with staff's original recommendation for economic development initiatives regarding use of the OLG reserve fund. BACKGROUND The City of Niagara Falls has a request from Niagara Falls Tourism for funding support. This request relates to a partnership opportunity for a destination marketing campaign. Attached is a letter from Niagara Falls Tourism requesting the 2017 funding amount an outlining the 2016 program results. Council established spending priorities for the amount received under the OLG contribution agreement and economic development opportunities were included in these priorities. The justification for these investments is based on the fact that the City's annual revenue from the Contribution Agreement is determined by revenues generated in the casinos. This funding partnership is an opportunity to invest in a program designed to attract more visitors to the City in general which will have a positive impact on casino visits and generate additional revenue for the municipality. 2 F-2017-06 January 24, 2017 As a result, staff believe the City should participate in promotional activities that will attract additional visitors to the municipality in the hopes of increasing revenues at the casino. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The 2016 campaign was quite successful with the following results. 1. Increase destination brand awareness to US market: i. 142,939,529 Impressions ii. 516,436 Interactions iii. 127,767 Leads to Partners iv. 40,000 new contacts in our database 2. Hotel occupancy for June through August: i. 93.1% occupancy for the period (up from 90.4% in 2015) ii. 13,546 additional rooms were sold in 2016 from 2015. 3.

Matching Funds Request In 2016, Niagara Falls Tourism was able to leverage the City of Niagara Falls investment by securing almost $500,000 in partner investment adding value to the destination and demonstrating the ability to drive results for tourism partners. For 2017 Niagara Falls Tourism partners - Destination Canada, Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, Tourism Partnership of Niagara, and Niagara Falls Tourism stakeholders will invest almost $600,000 in marketing campaigns. Niagara Falls Tourism requests $300,000 (matching funds) from the City in order to market and ensure tourism growth for the destination. 3 F-2017-06 January 24, 2017 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Contribution Agreement with OLG has provided funding opportunities for a variety of municipal initiatives. This request is consistent with the Economic Development Initiatives section. Since the requests appear to meet these requirements and result in matching funds from industry partners and other levels of government, staff recommend that the request be considered.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: Update on 4343 Morrison Street RECOMMENDATION 1) Council authorize up to $300,000 for engineering/ architectural work necessary to identify renovation requirements and costs for 4343 Morrison Street, through a direct appointment. 2) the costs for renovating the building be referred to the 2017 Capital budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The newly acquired 4343 Morrison Street building requires fairly extensive renovations to change the layout from its former use as a police station to a space that functions well as offices and meeting rooms to accommodate sections of several City departments. The City's plan for the building is to relocate staff currently occupying rented space as well as to relocate an affiliated company into the premises. As the latter occupant requires space immediately, staff is recommending that Council expedite the renovations. The first requirement is to expedite the engagement of an architect to facilitate the project. Staff is recommending obtaining quotes directly from previously engaged architects to expedite the process. This recommendation is consistent with the City's purchasing by-law. BACKGROUND On November 22, 2016, Niagara Falls City Council authorized the purchase of the former Niagara Regional Police building located at 4343 Morrison Street. The City took possession of the building on December 22, 2016. The building was acquired to accommodate City staff operations currently located in leased premises, and to facilitate the relocation of Niagara Regional Broadband Network (NRBN) to Niagara Falls. An engineering/ architectural review of the building is needed to determine the scope and cost of work required to renovate the space to meet City needs. While this analysis is being undertaken, staff will be meeting to determine specific space requirements for our Small Business Offices, our Information Systems staff, NRBN, and any other appropriate programming for the building. 2 CAO-2017-001 January 24, 2017 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City currently leases space in the Elgin Block for our Information System section at an annual rental of $50,587 with a subsequent 2% annual increase, and space on Queen Street for our Small Business Enterprise Centre for an annual rental of $49,000. The savings from the leases will be used to pay debenture and renovation costs associated with the building. In addition, NRBN will be paying rent to the City in the amount of approximately $60,000 annually. It is important that we act quickly to undertake the required engineering/ architectural review of the building and proceed to renovation. The lease arrangements for the rentals currently occupied by City staff come due early in 2018, and it would be appropriate to relocate staff prior to these deadlines, if possible. NRBN's lease in their current location will soon expire as well. Therefore, it is recommended that an engineering/architectural firm be hired through a direct appointment to expedite the process. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS It is estimated that it will cost approximately $300,000 to undertake the engineering/ architectural work necessary to identify renovation requirements and costs for 4343 Morrison Street. The property will likely require approximately $3 million in renovations to appropriately accommodate our needs. The total purchase cost and renovation costs for of 4343 Morrison Street will be financed by a future debenture issuance once the project is completed.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2017-01 Municipal Works - 2017 Staffing Needs RECOMMENDATION That City Council refer the request for an additional crew and related equipment to the 2017 General Purposes and Capital Budget deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City continues to experience consistent residential growth in the greenfield areas of our community. The additional infrastructure needed to service this growth adds to the City's asset inventory and increases the amount of human and equipment resources needed to provide a consistent standard of maintenance throughout the City. The purpose of this report is to provide information in support of a request for additional funding in the 2017 General Purposes and Capital Budgets to add an additional crew and related equipment, respectively. BACKGROUND Since 2014, the City of Niagara Falls has experienced continuous growth in the greenfield areas of the urban area. This growth has come in the form of residential subdivisions in the Garner South and Chippawa Planning areas. More specifically, the City has added: • 8.2 km of sanitary sewers • 10.6 km of watermains • 6.3 km of storm sewers • 20 lane km of roads • 6.7 km of sidewalks • 2.4 km of trails • 11.2 ha of parkland This growth represents a.1% increase per year in the City's infrastructure. - 2 - MW-2017-01 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE This additional infrastructure requires proper preventative maintenance as well as routine patrols, inspections, weekly maintenance and upkeep throughout the year. The staff and equipment resources needed to provide a consistent level of service throughout the City require periodic adjustments. In addition to growth, Municipal Works staff are managing other demands on its available resources such as: • more frequent attention to older infrastructure • increased demand for maintenance of high profile areas • quicker response times • performance of in-house vs. contracted services • climate change • training and staff development Adjustments have been made to address the increased service demands through operational efficiencies, shift work and outsourcing. Staff will continue its ongoing review and are recommending that its current manpower be increased by one crew of seasonal employees (truck driver, labourer, summer student) for a period of seven months starting in mid-April. New equipment required for this crew includes a one-ton crew cab truck with tandem trailer, mower and miscellaneous small tools. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The cost for additional staff is $59,000. The cost for equipment is estimated at $66,500. The additional costs have been identified as incremental increases in the 2017 General Purposes and Capital budgets, respectively. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The staff recommendation is consistent with Council's Strategic Priority to continue to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. c_____ __ J---1_111( �' .- -- Recommended by: `-� Geoff Holman, Director of Municipal Works iLt4-14-jsQ Respectfully submitted: sp y Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer GHolman ' J R&C-2017-01 Nia ara alls January 24, 2017 g .F�,�,,�., REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2017-01 Outdoor Pool Review RECOMMENDATION 1. That City Council refer the recommended capital repairs, $650,000 to the 2017 capital budget process. And that staff continue to monitor the attendance, capital and operating costs for the summer pool operation to determine the number of pools to maintain. 2. That City Council refer the recommended outdoor pool service enhancements, $18,725 to the 2017 operating budget deliberations. Proposed enhancements include, opening one pool early for the weekend of June 24 & 25, extend afternoon public swim to 4:30 pm and implement a new morning public swim at one pool facility. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the July 12, 2016, Council meeting staff was directed to report back to Council on the 2016 outdoor swimming pool attendance. The City of Niagara Falls operates five outdoor pools located throughout the City. In 2016, the two month operation served approximately 31,917 participants. Last summer 34,061 people visited the pools. Gross operating costs for the outdoor pools maintenance and programming is $449,760 with offset revenues of $18,725. Based on community and aquatic staff feedback, it is recommended that the pools be open the same number of weeks, extend afternoon public swim to 4:30 pm and provide a morning public swim at one facility. The extra cost for the extended afternoon swim time, new am swim and to open one pool early is $18,725.00. The aging aquatic facilities require significant repairs in 2017 in order to open for the summer season. F H Leslie and Chippawa pools need immediate improvements to their piping and strainers to meet the recommended water turnover rate. Niagara Falls Lions pool requires a new pool liner to operate for the summer of 2017. The filter and pump also need to be replaced in 2017 or 2018. 2 R&C-2017-01 January 24, 2017 BACKGROUND Operating costs for the outdoor swimming pools continue to increase each year. The community facilities require repairs to the mechanical equipment to maintain the pools and adhere to current standards. In 2015 Aqua Plans was hired to conduct a conditional review to report on the required improvements to comply with the current Ontario Building Code (OBC) and to improve the overall safety of the swimmers. Aqua Plans visited each pool facility to determine if the pools met current Building Code and if there were any outstanding safety issues. Other recommendations are related to the pool recirculation system to adhere to the Ontario Building Code, Class "A" Public Pool requirements. Class "A" pool requires a water turnover rate of at least 4 hours (or 6 times per day). F. H. Leslie and Chippawa pool require immediate improvements to their piping and strainers to meet the recommended water turnover rate. Niagara Falls Lions pool requires a new pool liner to operate for the summer of 2017. The pool lost a considerable amount of water each day impacting the pool chemicals and ability to meet health regulations for public pools. The filter and pump needs to be replaced in 2017 or 2018. Pool 2017 Recommended Improvements Cost F.H. Leslie Pool • Install new piping $200,000 • Install new strainer Chippawa Lions— • New piping $120,000 Buck Hinsperger • Proper pump Niagara Falls Lions • New Liner $330,000 Pool • New filter and pumps • Roof replacement Total: $650,000 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Upon review of municipal Recreation Master Plans the adopted provisional standard for p outdoor aquatic facilities is 1:50,000. Several municipalities are moving away from providing outdoor pools due to the high operating costs and short two month season. The City of Niagara Falls currently operates five outdoor pools well above the provincial standard. If one pool complex was closed, the City would still fall above the standard provision level of 1:50,000. 3 R&C-2017-01 January 24, 2017 Summer 2016 staff implemented changes to the pool operating budget to retain the 2016 aquatic budget at the same level as 2015. One change was the reduction of operating hours during the afternoon public swim. When the Niagara Region declared an Excessive High Heat Alert, the outdoor pools public swim hours were extended one hour in the afternoon and 1/2 in the evening. During the two month operation all five pools remained open until 5 pm instead of 4 pm for 26 days, due to the Heat Alerts. Residents requested the addition of a morning public swim. It is recommended adding a morning public swim for the summer of 2017. Overall pool numbers decreased this summer, however evening public swim attendance increased. Pool attendance numbers for the last five years are listed below. City Pool Public Swim Attendance Numbers 2012-2016 (July and August) Pool 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 F.H.

The five outdoor pool facilities are maintained by Recreation & Culture arena facility staff and programmed by seasonal Recreation & Culture staff. The Outdoor Pools Program operating budget will increase by $18,725.00 if all three recommended program options are implemented.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R& C-2017-03 Culture Plan 2017 Implementation RECOMMENDATION 1. Refer the following recommendations to the 2017 Operating and Capital budget deliberations. 2. Include a part-time (24 hour) position of Cultural Program Assistant ($32,735/year). 3. Increase the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund to $50,000/year. 4. Allocate $2,000 to create and Public Art maintenance budget ($1000) and develop public art acquisition budget ($1000). 5. Provide funding for a feasibility study to explore the requirements of a Cultural Hub ($100,000 requested in Capital Budget). 6. Create a Canada 150 Heritage Tourism Mobile App that will complement the summer exhibition "Pieces of Canada" ($47,779). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Implementation Plan of the City of Niagara Falls' Cultural Plan goal is to create a vibrant and liveable city. In order for the City of Niagara Falls to effectively and efficiently coordinate the cultural activities, communications, workshops, funding and other activities identified in the Implementation Plan, it is necessary to bring on human resources support to ensure that service to the community is sufficient and alleviate current staffing pressures. In 2016, the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund was introduced. In its first year, 13 requests for funding came into the Arts, Culture & Museum Committee which totalled $53,400 of requests. The Committee provided $20,000 in funding to six applicants. Organizations have leveraged this funding for additional real and in-kind support for 2 R&C-2017-03 January 24, 2017 cultural activities ranging from music to heritage to visual arts and have provided quality programming for all ages. The City of Niagara Falls has not addressed the benefits of public art to both the residents of Niagara Falls and the millions of tourists who visit Niagara Falls. Public Art has been identified as a significant benefit for community identity and the betterment of the community. It is recommended that the City of Niagara Falls follow the lead of other communities across the country and create funds either from operating funding or from a percentage of capital projects to create art in the public domain. This request would create a reserve fund which projects could be completed from on an ongoing basis and it would support both maintenance of current public art and the creation of new art. This would be a visible and tangible symbol of a commitment to public art and arts education. In the process of creating the Cultural Plan, it was identified that a key objective of this Culture Plan is the development of a centralized facility for a range of arts and culture activities including a large public art gallery space; a commercial space for local artists; a mid-size affordable performing arts venue primarily for community use; possibly studio space for working artists; and related required office and administrative space. A feasibility study of such a facility should be undertaken for a Cultural Hub. The Canada 150 Mobile app will provide public access to a variety of heritage experiences in the City of Niagara Falls. This will provide accessible and tangible heritage experiences that show off the heritage of the community and be a viable cultural tourism product that will be available to locals and tourists to better understand our collective identity. The pilot project will be a digital guidebook, accessed on touch-screen kiosks in the Museum's"Pieces of Canada: 150 Objects — 150 Stories" exhibition. For this exhibit, the Museum is gathering objects and stories from the people of Niagara that exemplify what it is to be Canadian in 2017. This project will provide the Museum with the software, hardware and knowledge to create digital content capturing the stories told by our residents. The legacy will allow for the digitization of existing walking tours, as well as the creation of new gallery content and experiences. BACKGROUND The Consulting firm of TCI Management Consultants was hired in the Fall of 2013 to coordinate the comprehensive five-year Culture Plan. The community consultation process included an online community organization survey, stakeholder interview and community open houses. Following the collection and analysis of date, the interim plan was presented to the public at a community open house on Wednesday, June 11, 2014. The interim plan contains twenty-four (24) recommendations. 3 R&C-2017-03 January 24, 2017 On April 28, 2015, (2015-05) Council adopted the Cultural Plan in principal subject to modifications as outlined by the Committee and Staff. The original TCI report has been prioritized by the Committees and Staff with specific timetables put in place. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The following items fit within the Cultural Plan and the Implementation Plan as presented at Council. Cultural Program Assistant The Cultural Plan identified the need to have full time staff by 2020. In the Implementation Plan, it was a Tier 1 priority to have staff that could focus solely on the arts, culture and heritage sector to assist with the promotion, administration and sector grown. This request is for part-time support in 2017 to alleviate the current load on staff, better administer and report on current cultural trends and to have staff fully dedicated to culture. Increase to Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund The plan identified the need to fund cultural groups and for innovative arts projects that will enrich the lives of the citizens of Niagara Falls. Within the study, it was identified in the review of the relative levels at which other cities fund their cultural sectors — particularly those against which Niagara Falls is benchmarked for the purpose of the study — appears to indicate that Niagara Falls is `underfunding' its cultural sector to some extent. If the City funded its cultural sector to a comparable level with the other benchmark communities, it would increase its budget for these activities by (conservatively estimated) $200,000 to $300,000 per year. The request is to bring it up to $50,000 and will review the program on an ongoing basis. Increase in funds for Public Art A revised policy for Public Art was identified as a 2017 priority. This includes the need to establish a fund dedicated for public art. Currently the City of Niagara Falls has no such fund and many municipalities have seen the benefits of such funds to ensure pride of place and community identity. Feasibility Study for a Cultural Hub This initiative was a first tier priority in the plan and was anticipated to be a 2018 start. However, it has been identified that an early start time is desired by the community as several organizations have examined next steps and opportunities have been presented over the last year. Without such a study in place, staff is unable to comment or have a clear sense of the needs of the community and the model that it could operate under. 4 R&C-2017-03 January 24, 2017 The Canada 150 mobile app is seen as an ideal way to match the content of the Museums 150 exhibition with content that already exists to create a new product that could have long term applications. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS These additions to the budget will result in an increase of Capital Budget ($147,779) and Operating Budget ($64,735) expenses. This would add one part-time position within the department and a contract position for the mobile app implementation.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2017-05 2017 Transportation Services Departmental Budget Proposed Changes RECOMMENDATION That 2017 Transportation Services Department Operations Budget proposed changes, outlined in this report, be referred to Budget Deliberations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff are proposing several changes for the 2017 Transportation Services Department operational Budget. The Department consists of three divisions; Parking Services (utility budget), Traffic Engineering/Transportation Planning and Transit Services. Parking Services will be presented at a later date. For the most part Traffic Engineering/Transportation Planning proposal is a status quo budget that has mainly been impacted by staff reallocations which also includes cross- training staff initiatives and Crossing Guard Program improvements. While Transit Services is proposing several changes including; moving toward hour peak service on all conventional routes with the implementation of Phase 3, WEGO Purple line elimination, peak hour service level adjustment on the WEGO Blue line, elimination of bidirectional transfers, establish customer service hub at Dorchester/Morrison, conventional service fare adjustment and establish external lunch facilitates at various locations and extra Sunday service hours will be added to the Chair-A-Van Specialized service based on demand. BACKGROUND Staff are proposing several changes for the 2017 Transportation Services Department operational Budget. The Department consists of three divisions; Parking Services (utility budget), Traffic Engineering/Transportation Planning and Transit Services. Parking Services will be presented at a later date. 2 TS-2017-05 January 24, 2017 Traffic Engineering/Transportation Planning Street Hardware — The vendor of street hardware has changed to provide a positive revenue flow and updated bus benches and pedestrian barriers Staff Cross Training— Technical Staff will be trained in medium/long range transit planning initiatives. Transit services has not provided this in the past Crossing Guard Program Improvements — The number of Crossing guards has increased such that there is a need to convert a guard from single location to rover status. This will allow for coverage of crossing locations Transit Services Phase 3 Improvements — The Transit Service Improvement plan adopted by Council in 2013 has identified several phases to improve service levels to provide daytime peak half hour service levels system wide. A total of five phases are required to achieve system wide. The implementation of Phase three will mean 53% of the daytime routes will provide peak half hour service. Phases beyond Phase 5 will be implemented based on ridership. WEGO Purple Line Elimination — A report appearing on tonight's agenda (TS-2017-04) outlines the rationale for elimination of the WEGO Purple Line. WEGO Blue Line Peak service Hour Adjustment — A review of the ridership statistics during the peak tourist season (July/August) indicates that a 15 min service level can be reduced to 20 min with no impact on ridership. This service level change is supported by the tourism sector group. Elimination of Bidirectional Transfers — With the introduction of the new routing structure in 2014, a bidirectional transfer policy was implemented as a temporary measure to allow riders to understand the new routing structure. It has been twenty-four months and the riders understand the routing structure, therefore, this incentive program can now end. The program negatively impacts ridership revenue. Conventional Service Fare Adjustment — The Transit Improvement plan identified fare adjustments during implementation. Council adopted these adjustments in 2015. This fare adjustment will provide parity with Welland and St. Catharines Operator Lunch Facilities Establishment — In order to streamline, improve efficiency and reduce operating cost, several external operator lunch rooms have been established. I.e. Morrison/Dorchester, Downtown Terminal, TableRock Customer service hub at Dorchester/Morrison Plaza — The portable lunchroom is at capacity and there is a need to provide a larger facility. At the same time this will present 3 TS-2017-05 January 24, 2017 the opportunity to provide a customer service kiosk to deal with monthly pass sales and reconciliation, routing questions/complaints. This is a high volume hub location. Chair-A-Van Specialized Service — Due to demand, extra Sunday service hours have been added. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Implementation of Phase 3 of the Transit Improvement Plan provides morning and afternoon peak half hour service to 4 additional daytime routes thereby bring the routes having peak hour service to 8 (53%). Following this implementation there will be two phases remaining to provide 100% daytime peak hour service system wide. Phases beyond Phase 5 will be implemented based on ridership. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As indicated, Council approved additional service improvements as outlined. The 2017 Operating Budget identifies an increase of approximately 8% in the net budget. This increase includes the cost of service improvements, the cost of additional service hours with no improvements to revenue generation. Lastly, there is a slight cost increase to Chair a Van services due to service increases. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council is committed to employing a safe, accessible, convenient, integrated and fiscally responsible transportation system that provides realistic travel options to the auto, thereby, creating a City that is truly accessible to locals and visitors.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2017-04 WEGO Purple Line Review Update RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council approve the permanent elimination of the WEGO Purple line and the re-alignment of the WEGO Green Line to service the VIA/GO train station hub and the Downtown. 2) That staff reconcile this revision in the 5 year update to the operating agreement with the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) currently underway. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council at its meeting of April 26, 2016, approved the following recommendations: That Council approve the elimination of the WEGO Purple Line for 2016 and the re- alignment of the WEGO Green Line to service the VIA/GO train station hub and; That staff report back to Council following the completion of this initiative. At its quarterly meetings with the tourism industry, staff solicited comments on the discountinuation of the Purple line and the realignment of the Green Line. The tourism sector supports this change. In addition, the Downtown BIA also supported the Green line re-alignment due to the positive economic impacts in their area. Both front office staff and the frontline supervisory staff have indicated that they have received positive feedback from the public because it was less confusing for riders in choosing WEGO service vs. conventional service. Feedback from the drivers indicated that there was minimal concern expressed from the riders. Therefore, staff are recommending continuance of the changes implemented in May 2016 and that these changes be reconciled in the 5 year update to the operating agreement with the NPC that is currently underway. 2 TS-2017-04 January 24, 2017 BACKGROUND Council, at its meeting of April 26, 2016, approved the following recommendations: That Council approve the elimination of the WEGO Purple line for 2016 and the re-alignment of the WEGO Green Line to service the VIA/GO train station hub and; That staff report back to Council following the completion of this initiative. At its quarterly meetings with the Tourism industry, staff solicited comments on the discontinuation of the Purple Line and the realignment of the Green Line. The Tourism sector supported this change. The Downtown Board has expressed their continued support for the re-alignment of the Green Line as it offers customers increased level of service, from the Train Station/Bus Terminal, as well as provides greater exposure to the Downtown by re-routing the well utilized Green Line buses through this transportation hub. Both front office staff and the frontline supervisory staff have indicated that they have received positive feedback from the public because it was less confusing for riders in choosing WEGO service vs conventional service. Feedback from the drivers indicated that there was minimal concern expressed from the riders. The City and the NPC have a Visitor Transportation System (WEGO) 10 year operational agreement that addresses various aspects of WEGO operation, including routing structure. The agreement also states that an audit (Operational/Financial), will take place prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the operational date. Therefore, the changes to the Purple Line and the Green Line will be reconciled during discussions with the NPC. Consequently, staff are recommending continuance of the change implemented in May 2016. The City will continue to address the summer GO train service by providing express bus service to the Table Rock hub on an as needed basis. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The elimination of the Purple Line will reduce WEGO dependence on capital reserves. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Staff have identified operational changes that would help to move towards eliminating dependence on WEGO capital reserve funds. In consultation with stakeholders, staff will continue to review opportunities to reduce dependence of the capital reserve fund through routing adjustments and integration with conventional service. The WEGO capital reserve fund has been established to deal with both short term and long term capital needs (such as bus replacement), short term routing adjustments due to special events and future Visitor Transportation studies. It is not intended to permanently 3 TS-2017-04 January 24, 2017 fund operational needs. Continued use of WEGO capital reserve fund for operations will result in depletion of the fund.

The applicant proposes to construct an addition to Souvenir City on the property known as 4205 River Road (Parcel 3). Parcel 3 is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting a new site specific TC zone be applied to all of the lands which would permit the proposed addition, reduce the minimum number of standard parking spaces in exchange for bus parking spaces, and allow buses to be parked in the front yard. The amendments are recommended for the following reasons: The lands are designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan and are part of the Whirlpool Satellite Tourist District. Souvenir City is a multi-purpose tourist facility providing opportunities to shop, view exhibitions and obtain meals and snacks. Development in the Whirlpool Tourist District is to be of a form that is compatible with the district's natural areas and the existing residential scale and character. The 2 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 existing facility and the addition proposed are at a scale that is compatible with the adjacent residential area; - The applicant has demonstrated through a parking demand study that the project will have adequate parking on-site through the combination of bus and standard vehicle parking spaces; — The bus parking area at the northerly limit of the site will be screened from the adjacent dwellings by a landscaping buffer proposed between the parking area and Elgin Street. This landscaping will minimize the impact of exhaust fumes from the buses; The existing and planned infrastructure can support the proposed development; and - The proposal will keep traffic and pedestrian activity oriented to River Road, away from the residential area to the west. The proposed redevelopment will be subject to an amendment to the existing site plan agreement. BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for the properties known as 4199 River Road (Parcel 1), 4214 May Avenue (Parcel 2), and 4205 River Road (Parcel 3), shown on Schedule 1. Parcels 1 and 2 are currently zoned site specifically for Souvenir City. The amendments are requested to allow the expansion of Souvenir City onto Parcel 3. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposal. The lands are designated Tourist in the City's Official Plan and are located within the Whirlpool Satellite District. The Official Plan allows a variety of tourist commercial uses along River Road. Parcels 1 and 2 are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC-726) with site specific regulations, in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2005-170. The site specific regulations address the location of the building on the lands, the provision of bus parking, and landscaping. Parcel 3 is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. A new site specific TC zone is requested to be placed over all of the lands which would permit the proposed addition, reduce the minimum number of standard parking spaces in exchange for bus parking spaces, and allow buses to be parked in the front yard. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands are located on the west side of River Road between Elgin Street and Buttrey Street. The River Road Retirement Residence is located north of the subject lands. To the west are single family homes and abutting to the south is the Niagara Region's Muddy Run Sewage Pumping Station. 3 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 Studies The applicant has submitted a Parking Demand Study and a Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment Report along with the Zoning By-law amendment application. Circulation Comments Information regarding the requested Zoning By-law amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara - No objections from a Provincial or Regional perspective. - Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment prepared by Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. was submitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS). The report concludes that no archaeological resources were identified in the area. The report is entered into the public register by MTCS. The Region's Muddy Run Sewage Pumping Station was upgraded in 2008. No disturbance will be permitted during the construction of the proposed building addition. • Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) No objection to the Zoning By-law amendment application. NPC, however, recommends that the front yard of 4205 River Road (Parcel 2) be maintained as landscaped area. • Municipal Works/ Parks Design - No objections. The applicant must provide a stormwater brief at the site plan stage. • Transportation Services The parking demand study prepared by Parsons is acceptable. Staff has determined that a shortfall of 2 passenger vehicle spaces is minor and may only be experienced for short periods of time. The reduction in 1 bus space can be compensated by bus queue spaces at the front of the store on a temporary basis. If a parking problem develops on the neighbouring residential streets with overflow employees or customers, the City may consider posting a permit parking zone so that it only allows the abutting residents to park on the street. 4 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 • Building Services and Fire Services No objections. Ontario Building Code matters and fire safety can be addressed at the site plan stage. • Legal Services No objections to the rezoning. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on November 10, 2016 to obtain feedback from area residents. The meeting was attended by three residents who had concerns with buses being parked in the front yard along Elgin Street. The residents expressed concerns regarding the potential impact of the diesel fumes emitting from the idling buses. The residents wanted to know if the buses could be parked elsewhere on the site and how the owner will address the concern. The applicant and their agent noted that the buses could not be parked elsewhere as the site is being reconfigured to allow a bus drop off area in front of the retail building. To address the concerns of the fumes, the owner agreed to provide a landscape buffer between the subject lands and Elgin Street. The landscape buffer will include 15 blue spruce trees. The applicant has agreed to ensure that once the buses are parked their engines will be turned off. Further, the applicant agreed to install "No Idling" signs on the premises. Following the meeting, the applicant's agent prepared a landscape plan showing the planting details (Schedule 3). The plan was circulated to the area residents and was acceptable to everyone except one resident, who expressed concerns that due to the height of the trees, his view of the gorge will be obstructed. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1. Official Plan The lands are designated Tourist Commercial in the City's Official Plan and are within the Whirlpool Satellite Tourist District. The proposed development complies with the Official Plan as follows: The Whirlpool Satellite Tourist District is intended to function as a sightseeing area allowing visitors to view and experience the Niagara River gorge and provide ancillary commercial uses. Souvenir City is a multi-purpose tourist facility providing opportunities to shop, view exhibitions and obtain meals and snacks. The Official Plan allows a variety of tourist commercial uses provided they are developed at the scale and character compatible with the adjacent residential uses. The existing Souvenir City development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood in scale and character. Further, the proposed addition will match the existing built-form in height and design. 5 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 The neighbourhood located west of the proposed development should not be impacted significantly as the only change on May Avenue will be a shift of the loading area to the south next to the Regional pumping station. The proposed development will continue to be oriented toward River Road. 2. Zoning By-law Parcels 1 and 2 are currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC-726) with site specific regulations, in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2005-170. Parcel 3 is zoned Tourist Commercial (TC), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. A new site-specific Tourist Commercial (TC) zone is requested to be applied to all three parcels. The applicant is requesting the following changes to the regulations: ZONE REGULATION EXISTING REGULATION (By- PROPOSED law No. 2005-170) REGULATION Minimum lot area The whole of the lands. Parts 1 0.69 hectares and2. Parts 1, 2 & 3 Minimum exterior side yards, as shown on the Schedule 3 (i) Between points A and B None None for the expanded distance to the south (ii) Between points B and C 20 metres 20 metres (iii) Between points D and E 3 metres 3 metres Minimum number of parking 54 48 spaces Minimum number of bus parking 5 mini 8 spaces 3 highway Mini bus and highway bus parking None permitted Permitted in the front yard 6 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 ZONE REGULATION EXISTING REGULATION (By- PROPOSED law No. 2005-170) REGULATION Minimum landscaped open space a 3 metre wide strip along and (i) a 3 metre between any surface parking wide strip, area and the Elgin Street, along and River Road, May Lane and between any May Avenue surface parking area and Elgin Street and May Lane. (ii) a 1 metre wide strip, along and between any surface parking area and River Road (iii) No landscape strip between the parking area and May Avenue Maximum floor area 1,775 square metres 1,900 square metres The proposed zoning by-law amendment can be supported for the following reasons: The applicant's business primarily serves tourists arriving by highway buses. A parking demand study prepared by Parsons and submitted with the application predicts that, after the proposed addition, the facility will require 50 passenger vehicle spaces and 9 bus spaces. The site plan provides 48 passenger vehicle spaces and 8 bus spaces. This results in shortfall of 2 passenger vehicle spaces and 1 bus space. Staff has accepted the parking demand study and determined that a shortfall of 2 passenger vehicle spaces is minor and may only be experienced for short periods of time. The provision of 8 rather than 9 bus parking spaces is acceptable because the site includes 4 spaces for highway buses to the queue at the front of the building. Further, the applicant is proposing to provide a WEGO bus stop on-site, which would allow many patrons to arrive using public transit. — The applicant's request to park buses in the front yard can be supported provided the landscape buffer between the parking area and Elgin Street includes 15 blue spruce trees as shown on Schedule 2. The landscape buffer will not only screen the parking area, but may also assist mitigating the fumes 7 PBD-2017-01 January 24, 2017 emitted by the buses. Signs stating "No Idling" will be installed on the premises and the applicant purports that he will ensure that this is enforced. - The re-configuration of the parking layout to accommodate WEGO buses and bus drop-off area in the front of the retail building has resulted in the reduction in the width of the landscaping strip along River Road. The applicant has maintained the property very well in the past. Staff is hoping the applicant will provide intensive landscaping along River Road to compensate for the reduced width of the landscaping strip. The landscaping details can be dealt with at the site plan stage. - The increased floor area is to accommodate additional visitor experience. 3. Site Plan Control The proposed development will be subject to an amendment of the Site Plan Agreement to address the building addition, revised layout, landscaping and buffering and signage. 4. Deeming By-law The subject lands are comprised of 10 whole lots (Lots 11-20 (inclusive), Plan 996) in a plan of subdivision. The development currently straddles the lot lines. To correct this, the lands should merge; therefore, the applicant is requesting the City pass a "deeming by-law". A deeming by-law removes the lots within registered plans of subdivision under the Planning Act. The registration of such a by-law would merge the subject properties together and allow them to be developed as one parcel. The deeming by-law is included in Council's agenda. CITY'S STRATEGIC INITIATIVE The proposal supports the Economic Growth and Prosperity Initiative as it assists in attracting and maintaining business investment.

Part of the reason I bought in this area was because of the view of the gorge. For this reason, I am opposed to any changes being made on Elgin Street. You also didn't mention anything about Mr DiCosimo wanting to act in a neighbourly fashion in respect to perhaps adding a convenience store for the people in the area. i I guess it's back to square one where he `promises ` that the engines of the buses will be turned off(as though he is at Souvenir City every day all day) and to put up inappropriate vegetation to block our views. This is a case of Mr DiCosimo looking out only for his self-interests. I am opposed to his redevelopment unless changes are made.

I want to advise City Council that no amount of tree planting will prevent the pollution emanating from tour buses; Not to mention the noise and the very fact that no one wants a queue of tour buses lining their residential street....and yes Elgin is a residential street. Secondly, I would like to point out that I spoke with the owner, Mr. Frank DiCosimo a couple years ago about perhaps adding a convenience store that would not only prove profitable but would also be seen as a 'neighbourly' gesture. 2 This is a case of businesses located in primarily residential areas co-existing in a favourable fashion. If Mr DiCosimo would consider working with the neighbourhood in a positive way, I would support the expansion on the southern side. If not, it's just another case of 'me' against 'them'.

That the amending by-law not be presented to Council for adoption until an amended Site Plan Agreement is signed by the applicant, in order to guarantee the provision of the improvements offered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2015, Curtis Gail Development applied to amend the zoning of the Munroe Plaza and part of the Hydro Corridor located at the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Dorchester Road. The amendment to the zoning of the plaza is requested to reduce the overall landscaped open space requirement, reduce the width of required landscape strip and provision of a delivery lane between Building "C" and the residential properties to the west and to recognize a parking area for the use of staff constructed on Hydro lands. A public meeting was held on May 26, 2015. The amendments were recommended in staff report PBD-2015-21 (attached). That report concluded: • The Official Plan permits the minor rounding out of commercial boundaries to enhance economic viability and improve internal traffic circulation. • The parking area on the Hydro One lands represents a minor rounding out of the commercial node and can be designed to have minimal impacts on the adjacent neighbours. 2 PBD-2017-02 January 24, 2017 • The proposed parking area complies with the regulations of the Parking zone. • Outstanding concerns can be addressed through the site plan amendment process. Council deferred the application to allow staff to meet with applicant (Angelo Marino) and the adjacent neighbour (Sam Di Carlo) to resolve the concerns raised at the public meeting. Over the past 18 months staff met numerous times with the applicant and Mr. Di Carlo. At the most recent meeting held in November of 2016, the applicant offered to make a number of site improvements in an attempt to satisfy Mr. Di Carlo's concerns. The proposed improvements include: 1. Relocation of the garbage dumpster; 2. Installing collapsible or removable bollards/chain at the access of the delivery lane behind Building "C" would restrict/limit access to the lane; 3. Removal of 2 parking spaces on the plaza site beside Mr. Di Carlo's property by painting lines on the asphalt and erecting no parking/no idling signs; 4. Installing signage on the south side of the new parking area on the Hydro Lands indicating that it is to be for staff parking only and no idling signs on the north side of this parking lot; and 5. The planting of cedar trees in appropriate locations next to the neighbour's fence to help screen/buffer the residential property. Staff is of the opinion that these improvements will reduce the impact of the removal of some landscaped area, creation of a delivery lane behind the plaza and creation of a parking lot on the Hydro lands and should be made conditions of approval to the requested zoning by-law amendment. BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant has requested several amendments to the City's Zoning By-law No. 79-200 for the Munroe Plaza, known as 4025 Dorchester Road, and a portion of the Hydro One lands that abut the plaza to the west. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the subject lands. The applicant has removed a portion of the required landscaping between Building "C" and residential properties to the west and created an asphalt delivery lane. The applicant has also constructed an asphalt parking lot for staff of the plaza on the abutting Hydro One lands. Refer to Schedule 2 for further details. The plaza is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (NC-270) with site specific landscaping regulations, in accordance with By-law No. 2007-120. These regulations require 20% of the site to be landscaped and the provision of landscaping between the building and the westerly and southerly property lines. The applicant is requesting the landscaping requirements to be reduced to 18% to recognize the removal of landscaping and the creation of an asphalt delivery lane at the back of Building "C". 3 PBD-2017-02 January 24, 2017 The abutting Hydro One lands are zoned Residential Single Family 10 Density (RIC) which does not permit a parking area. A triangular portion of the Hydro corridor, next to Thorold Stone Road (approximately 275 square metres), is zoned for Parking zone (P-318) to permit approximately 8 surplus parking spaces as part of the original plaza approval. These lands are currently leased by the plaza owner from Hydro One. The applicant has constructed a new asphalt parking area on the Hydro lands west of the plaza that provides 18 additional parking spaces which are surplus to zoning requirements and can be used by staff. The applicant is requesting the site specific P-318 zone to be extended to recognize the expanded parking lot (approximately 500 square metres). The applicant intends to amend his lease agreement with Hydro One if the zoning is approved; Hydro One has supported the zone change. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses Munroe Plaza consists of three commercial buildings with a range of commercial uses. Abutting properties to the south and west contain single detached dwelling that were built before the plaza was developed. Properties to the east on the opposite side of Dorchester Road are developed with a variety of commercial uses. The Hydro transmission corridor abuts the plaza to the west. ANALYSIS As outlined in the attached report PBD-2015-21, the application can be supported on planning merit. 1. Official Plan The Munroe Plaza was developed under the Official Plan policies which allow for a minor rounding out of commercial areas if the economic viability of the commercial area is enhanced, internal circulation is improved and landscaping is increased. Similarly, the inclusion of part of the Hydro corridor for parking purposes satisfy the policies since the parking will improve the overall viability and functionality of the plaza operations. The removal of some of the landscaping between Building "C" and the neighbouring residential properties and the construction of a delivery lane has resulted in a nuisance to abutting residents. The plaza owner made these changes to better accommodate deliveries without impacting parking in front of the Building "C". However, the lane is not wide enough to allow trucks larger than a van to be driven around the entirety of the building. As a result, larger trucks need to back out of the lane which is accompanied by warning noises. Further impacts occur when vehicles are allowed to idle and when they are being loaded and unloaded. Additional plantings could assist in buffering neighbouring dwellings. Signage to prohibit idling could assist in lowering noise impacts. 2. Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (NC-270) with site specific regulations that permit the 10,440 square metre commercial plaza with larger building setbacks and appropriate landscaping. The regulations to require larger landscape strips along the south and west sides of Building "C" was done to separate commercial activities from the residential uses. The construction of the delivery lane has resulted in 4 PBD-2017-02 January 24, 2017 a reduction of landscaped open space between the building and the lot line common with the residences. Additional plantings should be required to compensate for the reduced landscaping. The following chart provides the site specific landscape open space requirements and the departures the applicant is requesting. Provision Standards Proposed Minimum Landscaped Open Space 20% 18.2% Landscaped Open Space - along and 7.5 m 3.4 m adjacent to the interior side lot line within 50 metres of the rear lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and 6 m 3.1 m adjacent to the interior side lot line between 50 metres and 74 metres north of the rear lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and 7.5 m 2.3 m adjacent to the rear lot line with 30 metres of the interior side lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and 4 m 3.8 m adjacent to the rear lot line within 58 metres of the exterior side lot line In 1992, Council changed the zoning of approximately 250 square metres of Hydro corridor lands to Parking (P-318) to allow for 8 surplus parking spaces in the northwest corner of the plaza. The applicant is now requesting the site specific P-318 zone to be extended over an additional 500 square metres of the Hydro corridor to recognize a parking area to be used to accommodate plaza staff. The 18 additional parking spaces are surplus to the parking requirements for the plaza. The stall size and aisles meet the standard requirements of Zoning By-law No. 79-200. Provision Standards Proposed Minimum lot area 400 sq. m approximately 750 sq. m Minimum landscaped open space- (P-318) = 2 m existing = greater planting strip not less than 2 m in than 2 m width shall be provided and maintained along the whole of every lot line which abuts a street Minimum landscaped open space- New parking area = 2 (grass area) approx. planting strip not less than 2 m in m = 24.5 m width shall be provided and maintained along the whole of every lot line which abuts a street 3. Site Plan Control The City has a registered site plan agreement with the owner Munroe Plaza which addresses landscaping, driveways, parking areas, refuse locations among other things. 5 PBD-2017-02 January 24, 2017 It is staff's opinion that modifications to the site design can help mitigate the impacts of the requested zoning changes on the property of the adjacent resident. Over the past 18 months staff met numerous times with the applicant and the neighbour in an attempt to resolve the neighbour's concerns. During those discussions it was noted that a garbage dumpster in the south west corner of the property creates a dangerous situation. This location necessitates that a garbage truck enter and retrieve the garbage then back into the drive-through lane for the coffee shop. The applicant has agreed to remove the dumpster from this location. At the most recent meeting held in November of 2016, staff were informed that a former tile business that was located in the plaza and which was a frequent user of the delivery lane has left the plaza. While this has resulted in fewer trucks behind Building "C", the neighbour is concerned deliveries could be a regular occurrence once a new tenant occupies the building. Bollards or a chain at the access of the delivery lane could curtail some use of this laneway. In addition the planting of cedar trees in the landscape strip could form an additional buffer, provided they did not interfere with the swale along the west side of the plaza lands. The neighbour was concerned that 2 parking spaces adjacent to his fence were frequently used by trucks and would idle while they went for coffee in a nearby coffee shop. Removal of the parking spaces would eliminate this concern. The 2 parking spaces are in excess of the minimum number of parking spaces required for the plaza uses. The neighbour was concerned that trucks were parking adjacent to his fence in the new parking lot on the Hydro corridor. The placement of signs along the south side of this parking lot which reserves these spaces for staff only would eliminate that concern. Additional planting of cedar trees between the parking lot and the fence would help screen any trucks which may park on the site while conducting business on the plaza property. Signage to prohibit idling could be installed. In an attempt to address the neighbour's concerns the applicant offered to make a number of site improvements. They include the following: 1. Relocation of the garbage dumpster; 2. Installing collapsible or removable bollards/chain at the access of the delivery lane behind Building "C" would restrict/limit access to the lane; 3. Removal of 2 parking spaces on the plaza site beside Mr. Di Carlo's property by painting lines on the asphalt and erecting no parking/no idling signs; 4. Installing signage on the south side of the new parking area on the Hydro Lands indicating that it is to be for staff parking only and no idling signs on the north side of this parking lot; and 5. The planting of cedar trees in appropriate locations next to the neighbour's fence to help screen/buffer the residential property. 6 PBD-2017-02 January 24, 2017 These site improvements should be included in the amended Site Plan Agreement to compensate for a reduction in the landscaped area and additional parking lot. Staff recommend that the amending zoning by-law not be presented to Council for passing until an amended Site Plan Agreement is signed by the applicant. This would wrap-up this application which has been outstanding for about 2 years. FINANCIAL/IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The requested amendment supports the City's Strategic Priorities of retaining business investment and building a vibrant, sustainable city.

That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to recognize an asphalt service lane that has been provided in the southwest corner of Munroe Plaza and a staff parking area that has been established on lands proposed to be leased from Ontario Hydro to the west of the plaza; and 2. That the issues of drainage, signage, site design and screening be addressed through the Site Plan Approval process and that the abutting neighbours be invited to participate. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Gail Curtis Development has applied to amend the zoning of the Munroe Plaza, known as 4025 Dorchester Road, located at the intersection of Thorold Stone Road and Dorchester Road, and a portion of the Hydro One transmission corridor located to the west of the plaza. The amendment to the zoning of the plaza is requested to reduce the overall landscaped open space requirement and to reduce the width of required landscape strips between Building "C" and the west property line where a service lane has been established. The amendment to the zoning of the Hydro One lands is requested to recognize a staff parking area that has been constructed for the employees of the plaza. The amendments are recommended for the following reasons: • The Official Plan permits the minor rounding out of commercial boundaries to enhance economic viability and improve internal traffic circulation. • The parking area on the Hydro One lands represents a minor rounding out of the commercial node and can be designed to have minimal impacts on the adjacent neighbours. • The proposed parking area complies with the regulations of the Parking zone. 2 PBD-2015-21 May 26, 2015 • Outstanding concerns can be addressed through the site plan amendment process. BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant has requested several amendments to the City's Zoning By-law No. 79-200 for the Munroe Plaza, known as 4025 Dorchester Road, and a portion of the Hydro One lands that abut the plaza to the west. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the subject lands. The applicant has removed a portion of the required landscaping between Building "C" in the southwest corner of the site and replaced it with an asphalt service lane. The applicant has also constructed an asphalt parking lot for staff of the plaza on the abutting Hydro One lands. Refer to Schedule 2 for further details. The plaza is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (NC-270) with site specific landscaping regulations. These regulations require 20% of the site to be landscaped and the provision of landscaping between the building and the westerly and southerly property lines. The applicant is requesting the landscaping requirements to be reduced to 18% to recognize the asphalt service lane that has been constructed around the back of the building. The abutting Hydro One lands are zoned Residential Single Family 1C Density (RIC) which does not permit a parking area. Already a small triangular portion of the Hydro corridor, next to Thorold Stone Road (approximately 275 square metres), is zoned a site specific Parking zone (P-318) to permit approximately 8 surplus parking spaces associated with the plaza. These lands are currently leased by the plaza owner from Hydro One. The applicant has constructed a new asphalt parking area that can accommodate 18 additional parking spaces for staff on the Hydro lands west of the plaza. The applicant is requesting the site specific P-318 zone to be extended (approximately 500 square metres) to recognize the expanded parking lot. The applicant intends to amend his lease agreement with Hydro One if the zoning is approved; Hydro One has supported the zone change. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses Munroe Plaza consists of three commercial buildings with a range of commercial uses. Abutting properties to the south and west contain single detached dwelling that were built before the plaza was developed. Properties to the east on the opposite side of Dorchester Road are developed with a variety of commercial uses. The Hydro transmission corridor abuts the plaza to the west. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on April 16, 2015 to obtain feedback from the area residents. The meeting was attended by three residents. One resident had no concerns, but two did. In addition, a letter of concern was received from a neighbour who could not attend. The residents raised concerns about a lack of proper drainage, the location of the garbage bin in the southwest corner of the subject property, noise generated from the unloading and loading of vehicles, vehicles idling, the warning sound of trucks backing up, insufficient screening behind 4058 McKinless Crescent and two parallel parking spaces located behind 4058 McKinless Crescent being used to park trucks. 3 PBD-2015-21 May 26, 2015 The agent stated that all of the storm water is contained on-site and speculated that the drainage issues on the neighbouring properties could be due to grading changes that have occurred on private property. Further on-site discussions were planned with the residents and the applicant. Regarding the garbage bin, the applicant stated that it can be relocated to the designated area located on the approved site plan. Regarding the noise of vehicles idling and backing up, the applicant reported that large trucks deliver to the end unit only twice a week during regular business hours. The applicant also offered that signs could be placed stating deliveries only and no idling. He offered that these signs should prevent vehicles remaining behind the building for long periods of time. To address the screening of 4058 McKinless Crescent, the agent offered to plant cedar trees, but was unsure how this would look in combination with the existing deciduous trees. With respect to the issue of on-site truck parking, the agent suggested that the two parallel parking spaces could be removed. Further on-site discussions were planned with the resident and the owner. One neighbour who lives next to the parking area on the Hydro lands is of the opinion that the landscape buffer should be wider and include more trees. He is also concerned that the parking area was not constructed with the proper grade resulting in drainage issues on his property. The applicant responded that any drainage and landscaping issues can be addressed through the site plan process if the parking lot was not constructed properly. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Zoning By-law amendment was circulated to City Divisions, the Niagara Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following are the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara Regional staff has no concerns with the proposed amendment. The land is located within a Settlement Area under the Provincial Policy Statement and within the Built-Up Area under the Places to Grow Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). • Engineering Services Engineering staff has no objection to the reduction of the landscape open space and landscape strips along the west and south side of the Munroe Plaza. Regarding the parking area on the Hydro lands, staff noted that it is relatively flat, with no defined route of overflow for storm water. They recommend that the applicant make adjustments to ensure there are no adverse effects of drainage on existing residential properties to the south. This could be achieved with an installation of a catch basin connected to the existing private system located on the plaza and with some alteration of the paved surface or by the addition of asphalt to the existing paved surface so as to direct sheet flows north, away from neighbouring properties. This can be addressed through the normal site plan process. Parks staff recommend additional buffer plantings next to the residential lots to address the narrow width of the landscaped area of the off-site parking area on 4 PBD-2015-21 May 26, 2015 the Hydro Lands. Trees such as Eastern White Cedar, Columnar English Oak, or Red Obelisk Columnar Beech are recommended to be planted close together in this location. Staff recommend that the adjacent neighbours be consulted. Staff also recommend that precast concrete curb stops be installed for each parking space to reduce the potential of vehicles damaging landscaping and the wood fence. • Transportation Services, Fire Services, Transit and Building Services No objections. ANALYSIS Official Plan The north half of the Munroe Plaza is designated Minor Commercial in the City's Official Plan while the south half of the plaza is designated Residential. Minor Commercial areas are to provide a range of small-scale retail and commercial outlets. Commercial areas adjacent to residential areas should be designed to minimize impacts on the residents. The Official Plan allows for a minor rounding out of commercial areas if the economic viability of the commercial area is enhanced, internal circulation is improved and landscaping is increased. The removal of some of the landscaping between Building "C" and the neighbouring residential properties and the construction of a service lane in its place has improved the functioning of the site by allowing deliveries to the rear of the building. However, these deliveries are impacting the residents. The service lane is not wide enough to allow large delivery trucks to be driven around Building "C". As a result, they need to back down the lane which is accompanied by warning noises. Further impacts occur when vehicles are allowed to idle and when they are loaded and unloaded. Additional landscaping could assist in buffering neighbouring dwellings. Signage prohibiting idling could assist in lowering noise impacts. The Hydro One lands located to the west of the plaza are designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. Minor rounding out of commercial boundaries are allowed where it helps with viability and transportation. In this case the applicant has constructed a parking area for 18 vehicles on the Hydro One lands for staff working in the plaza. The tenant mix together with the size of the plaza has resulted in a unique need for additional parking over and above typical zoning requirements. Accordingly, this additional parking area will help with the viability and functionality of the plaza site. The fact that new parking area on the Hydro One lands is to be used by staff means there will be a reduced turnover of cars compared to cars of customers. The compatibility of the parking area can be improved through improved landscaping such as planting a row of cedars. The use of bumper blocks to keep vehicles from damaging landscaping and fencing are recommended. Reported drainage issues need to be explored further and addressed at the site plan review stage. Zoning By-law The subject property is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (NC-270) with site specific regulations that permit the 10,440 square metre commercial plaza with larger building 5 PBD-2015-21 May 26, 2015 setbacks and appropriate landscaping. The regulations require larger landscape strips along the south and west sides of Building "C". The chart below provides the site specific landscape open space requirements and the departures the applicant is requesting. Provision Standards Proposed Minimum Landscaped Open Space 20% 18.2% Landscaped Open Space - along and adjacent to 7.5 m 3.4 m the interior side lot line within 50 metres of the rear lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and adjacent to 6 m 3.1 m the interior side lot line between 50 metres and 74 metres north of the rear lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and adjacent to 7.5 m 2.3 m the rear lot line with 30 metres of the interior side lot line Landscaped Open Space - along and adjacent to 4 m 3.8 m the rear lot line within 58 metres of the exterior side lot line The plaza was allowed to expand in 2007 based on the applicant's willingness to provide larger building setbacks and landscape strips to buffer the commercial property from the dwellings to the south and west. The residents' voiced their desire for a 7.5 metre building setback and the applicant revised the plan to place Building "C" in compliance with the residents' wishes to buffer the residential lots from on-site activity. However to avoid deliveries at the front of the plaza units, a service lane was constructed behind the building for on-site functionality. The construction of the service lane has resulted in a reduction of landscaped open space between the building and the lot line common with the residences. Additional plantings should be required to compensate for the reduced landscaping. A garbage dumpster has been placed in the south west corner of the property. This necessitates a garbage truck enter and retrieve the garbage then back into the through lane for the coffee shop drive through. This creates a dangerous situation. Therefore, the dumpster should be removed and relocated. The applicant has agreed to do this. In 1992, Council changed the zoning of approximately 250 square metres of Hydro One lands to Parking (P-318) to allow for 8 surplus parking spaces in the northwest corner of the plaza. The applicant is requesting the site specific P-318 zone to be extended over an additional 500 square metres of the transmission corridor to recognize the employee parking area that has been constructed. The employee parking area meets the minimum requirements of the P zone as indicated in the chart. Provision Standards Proposed Minimum lot area 400 sq. m approximately 750 sq. m Minimum landscaped open-planting (P-318) = 2 m existing = greater than strip not less than 2 m in width shall be 2 m provided and maintained along the 6 PBD-2015-21 May 26, 2015 whole of every lot line which abuts a street Minimum Landscaped Open - planting New parking area = 2 m (grass area) approx. = strip not less than 2 m in width shall be 24.5 m provided and maintained along the whole of every lot line which abuts a street The proposed parking area also meets the minimum parking space and aisle size requirements of the Zoning By-law No. 79-200. Site Plan Control Munroe Plaza is under site plan control and the City has a registered site plan agreement with the owner. A revision to the registered site plan agreement is required to address the changes to the site that are requested to be recognized. Any concerns stated in the open house meeting can be addressed through amendment of the registered site plan agreement. The owners of the adjacent residences should be invited to comment on the changes. FINANCIAL/IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The requested amendment supports the City's Strategic Priorities of retaining business investment and building a vibrant, sustainable city.

Firstly, I regret that I cannot attend the meeting tonight. I am currently working shift work at the casino. I would have preferred to be there in person to express my concerns regarding the Munroe Plaza that is located in my backyard. I have two concerns that I would like to be addressed tonight. My major concern is the noise level of the trucks/motors/beeping/door slamming. Most of the time I work the night shift and the noise in the alleyway makes it impossible to get a restful sleep after work. It is under my understanding that the original agreement for this plaza stated that the paved area behind my house was to be used as a walkway ONLY and vehicles were prohibited from using this laneway at all hours. My other concern is that because they built the plaza a grading that is much higher than my property all of the water is being drained into my backyard. I have complained about this in the past and nothing was addressed then. This problem started before the driveway was paved however now that it is paved, the water problem is even worse than before. As a tax paying citizen of Niagara Falls, I hope that you can take this into serious consideration and stop allowing these people to use vehicles behind the building as per the previous agreement and also coming up with a solution to the water problem I am having. I appreciate your time and am anxiously waiting for a response from you soon. Sincerely, Antos 'o Borile APR 1 7 2095 • P'L,ANNING j e DEVELOPMENT Sam DiCarlo McKinless Crescent Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 7A6 February 24, 2015 Mayor Jim Diodati and All Members of City Council 4310 Queen Street, P.O. Box 1023 Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Dear Mayor Diodati and Members of City Council: Re: Parking on Hydro Lands and Outstanding Site Plan Issues, and use of laneway Munroe Plaza My wife(Mary DiCarlo) and I own and reside at 4058 McKinless Crescent, Niagara Falls, located next to Munroe Plaza. For quite some time, I have been requesting that the owner of the Munroe Plaza(Mr. Angelo Marino) correct the outstanding site plan matters and laneway pertaining to Munroe Plaza. Despite my concerns, these matters have not been addressed. However, most importantly, for many months, I have asked City Staff to stop the use of the parking lot that has been built by Mr. Marino,without zoning amendment and site plan approvals or peewits. This parking lot (leased from Ontario Hydro) is located next to the plaza and beside my home and fronts on Thorold Stone Road. It is not appropriate for Mr. Marino to beg City Council for forgiveness instead of asking for permission. This parking lot should be shut down. I am attaching copy of letter from Mr. Alex Herlovitch, dated February 4, 2015 indicating that a zoning amendment application is imminent. However, in the meantime, why hasn't the City stopped the use of this parking lot? Yours truly, jSa " DiCarlo 7 ,c.,,� e.1- • F-2017-01 NiagaraFalis January 24, 2017 V CAFAnA REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: 2017-01 Monthly Tax Receivables Report— November 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 November 30, 2016 were $19.6 million compared to $21.7 million in 2015. During November, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 12.4% in 2015 to 11.1% in 2016. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2016. At this stage, 93.2% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently twenty-six 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 2016 improved during the month of November. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at November 30, 2016 are $19.6 million. This represents a decrease from $21.7 million in arrears for the same period in 2015. 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 slightly from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased slightly. 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, 2016, 399 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after eleven months of activity. This table shows 93.2% of the tax 2 F-2017-01 January 24, 2017 accounts or 372 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During November, eleven accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 92.0% (Oct) to 93.2% (Nov). 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 November, five properties were registered and 3 registered properties were redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 3.5% 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 November 30, 2016 is 11.1% which is a decrease from 2015's value of 12.4%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2017-03 2017 Interim Tax Levy RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2017 Interim Tax Levy calculation and by-law providing for the 2017 Interim Tax Levy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls requires a 2017 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The interim levy is calculated so that property owners will be billed amounts not exceeding one half of the previous year's annual taxes. The installment dates for the Interim Levy are February 28th and April 28th BACKGROUND The Municipal Act 2001 provides the City of Niagara Falls with the authority to issue an interim tax levy. Traditionally the interim levy has been made in February with two installment dates. The City of Niagara Falls requires a 2017 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The authority to collect this interim tax levy is prescribed in section 317 of the Municipal Act. The interim levy is subject to the following rules: 1. The amount levied on a property shall not exceed the prescribed percentage, or 50 percent if no percentage is prescribed, of the total amount of taxes for municipal and school purposes levied on the property for the previous year. 2. The percentage used in the levy may be different for different classes but must be the same for all properties in a property class. 2 F-2016-03 January 24, 2017 3. Allows the municipality to use an entire years taxes for a property in the calculation of the interim tax levy in the situation that a full year was not charged in the previous year. Staff has developed the interim tax levy based on these rules and has determined that the amount due for the interim levy for each property will not exceed 50% of the annualized assessment used in determining the 2016 tax levy. The due dates for this interim tax levy are in accordance with the new Municipal Act. The interim bill will be due on two dates. As per the regulations outlined in the new Municipal Act, property owners must be provided 21 days notice before payment. The due dates are consistent with the regulation and will be February 28, 2017 and April 28, 2017. In 2016, these dates were February 29, 2016 and April 29, 2016. An interim levying by-law is required to establish the amount of the interim levy. This has been prepared and appears on this evening's Council Agenda for passage. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The internal need for cash flow and the external statutory obligation necessitate the interim tax levy. Failure to provide an interim tax levy could lead to increased short term borrowing by the Corporation and could result in unplanned interest expenses. An interim tax levy is required to ensure the provision of the required funds to minimize borrowing costs. / Recommended by: Todd Harrison, Director of Finance LIA-414"1Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer A.Felicetti F-2017-04 NiagaraFalls January 24, 2017 D J cenann REPORT TO: Mayor James M.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2017-03 Matters Arising from Municipal Heritage Committee Request to Designate 5993 Barker Street Spence Sherriff House RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council direct staff to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for the property at 5993 Barker Street, Niagara Falls under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner requested the property be designated and the Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that it meets the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Municipal Heritage Committee has determined that the house at 5993 Barker Street c. 1885 is representative of the Italianate style and has associative value for its connection with Mr. Henry Spence. The board and batten constructed barn located on the property may also have been associated with the Peer Farm which was seen on mapping of the battle of 1812-1814. Further, the property has contextual value to the battleground of the Battle of Lundy's Lane and specifically, its location of the eastern flank of the position of the U.S. troops. Therefore, it is recommended that the property be designated. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The current owners of 5993 Barker Street, Bill Colclough and Janice Wing, have requested that their property be designated. The Municipal Heritage Committee has reviewed the property using the criteria in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act which is used for determining the Cultural Heritage Value or interest of a property prior to designation. The property satisfies the Ontario Heritage Act criteria for designation since it meets one or more of the following criteria: • has design value or physical value because it is rare or unique; • has historical value or associative value, being a direct association with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; and 2 PBD-2017-03 January 24, 2017 • has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining, or supporting the character of an area, is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings or is a landmark. Specifically, the Committee determined that: The physical value of the property is reflected in the Italianate style. This house has several distinguishing elements of this style including the overall square building shape, a low pitched hip roof with decorative eave brackets and frieze, vertical proportioned segmental arched window openings, a bay window, asymmetrical window/door openings and the transom window over the front door. The exterior of the house is laid in a common bond pattern of red brick including the tail at the rear of the house that is thought to have been the original building on the property. The front verandah is an early 20th century replacement worthy of preservation. The associative value of the house is its connection to Henry Spence, who was a noted stone mason/bricklayer who owned the property and built the house. Mr. Spence owned many properties throughout the city and is attributed to the Spence Weaver House on Dunn Street and may also be associated with a house built on Garner Road. The contextual value is found in the property's proximity to the Battleground of the Battle of Lundy's Lane. Specifically, the property is part of the eastern flank of the United States' position in that Battle as troops advanced up Drummond Hill. Located on the property is a post and beam barn with board and batten exterior. The barn measures 10 m by 7.5 m and is presently used as a 3 car garage. From a site visit it was noted that portions of the beams have been altered. From maps of the area depicting the Battle of Lundy's Lane there appears to be a fruit orchard and the Peer Farm, it has not been confirmed this structure is the same as that located there during the time of the battle of 1812-1814. The Municipal Heritage Committee recommends to Council that staff be directed to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for 5993 Barker Street due to its Cultural Heritage Value and Interest to the City of Niagara Falls.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The relocation of the stop sign is recommended to improve safety at the intersection without unnecessarily delaying traffic leaving the industrial park. BACKGROUND Dorchester Road and Oldfield Road are both classified as arterial roads. The intersection of Dorchester Road and Oldfield Road is in a "Y" configuration, consisting of north, southwest and east approaches. Motorists on Dorchester Road have the right-of- way as there is a single stop sign on the east approach, facing westbound motorists on Oldfield Road. Dorchester Road curves as it passes through Oldfield Road. The surrounding land uses consist of a mature residential subdivision to the north, a new residential subdivision under construction to the east and industrial (manufacturing and warehousing) to the southwest. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE With the development of the Oldfield Estates subdivision to the east and the increased traffic volumes now using Oldfield Road, Staff has observed conflicts particularly between southbound traffic on Dorchester Road carrying out a left turn onto Oldfield Road and northbound traffic on Dorchester Road. Although northbound through traffic has the right-of-way, southbound left turning drivers are turning into the path of opposing traffic or stopping within the intersection to yield the right-of-way and obstructing northbound through traffic. From a geometric perspective, the southwest approach of Dorchester Road lines up with Oldfield Road better than the north approach of Dorchester Road. From a safety 2 TS-2017-01 January 24, 2017 perspective, Staff is recommending that the stop sign which faces westbound motorists on Oldfield Road at Dorchester Road is removed, and a stop sign is installed facing southbound motorists on Dorchester Road at Oldfield Road. The change will necessitate the installation of signs identifying the change in intersection control for a minimum three month period. Staff will further delineate the traffic lanes with painted centre lines extending 60 metres from the intersection in each direction. The lines will be applied in the Spring. Staff explored whether an all-way stop would be a suitable traffic control measure. All- way stops are not ideal traffic control measures at intersections that are offset, poorly defined, or geometrically substandard, which is the case for the study location. A change in the intersection geometry to improve its operation should be evaluated through an Environmental Assessment study, which will take into consideration the expected growth of the area and evaluates potential design alternatives, which may include a realignment of the roads and/or the construction of a roundabout. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The relocation of the stop sign is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour and material costs are accounted for in the approved 2017 General Purposes Budget. Relocating the sign is estimated to cost approximately $500. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2017-02 Frederica Street— Parking Review RECOMMENDATION That the "no parking" zone on both sides of Frederica Street between Prince Edward Boulevard and Glenholme Avenue be removed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The existing restriction was established to prohibit arena users from parking on the road. The arenas have been demolished and the lands have been converted to residential. Frederica Street is wide enough to allow parking on both sides and still enable unobstructed two-way traffic flow. A consensus was established amongst the current residents to remove the restrictions. BACKGROUND Staff received complaints from residents that their guests are unable to legally park on the street due to "no parking" restrictions posted on both sides of Frederica Street between Prince Edward Boulevard and Glenholme Avenue. These parking restrictions were installed to manage the parking activities and congestion related to the Stamford/Jack Bell Arenas. The arenas were located on the south side of Frederica Street, with a parking lot across the road on the north side. The arenas have been demolished and the properties have been redeveloped into residential neighbourhoods with single family and semidetached dwellings on the north side of Frederica Street and townhouse dwellings on the south side of Frederica Street. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Questionnaires were distributed to all of the homeowners with front or side frontage on Frederica Street between Prince Edward Boulevard and Glenholme Avenue to solicit input on the existing parking controls. There are 18 occupied dwellings on both sides of the road and a response was received from eleven residents, which represents a 61% response rate. All, except for one of the respondents preferred to have the signs 2 TS-2017-02 January 24, 2017 removed on at least one side of the road. The minimum response rate has been achieved to establish a consensus in the neighbourhood. In addition, Staff has reviewed the request from a technical perspective and determined the road is wide enough to allow for parked cars on both sides without disrupting traffic flow. The neighbouring sections of Frederica Street do not have any signed parking provisions in place, and they exhibit similar roadway operating and geometric characteristics. Lastly, the intended purpose of the parking restrictions when they were originally put in place was to manage the parking activity of the arena. Staff is recommending that the "no parking" zone is removed from both sides of Frederica Street between Prince Edward Boulevard and Glenholme Avenue. Residents were advised of Staff's recommendation through a hand-delivered letter and no comments or objections were received. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The removal of the parking prohibition signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour costs are accounted for in the 2017 General Purposes Budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2017-03 Posted Speed Limits & Traffic Safety Programs RECOMMENDATION This report is for the information of City Council. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City has the authority to prescribe speed limits within its jurisdiction and is responsible for installing and maintaining regulatory signage in accordance with Provincial legislation and standards. The City also facilitates a number of traffic safety programs to promote safe driving in the City. BACKGROUND Staff received an inquiry concerning the lack of speed limit signs and flashing school zone speed limits in the City. It was noted that residents and tourists unaware of the legal speed limit could be subject to speeding infractions. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Ontario Highway Traffic Acts prescribes the statutory speed limits for all Ontario roads. The statutory speed limit within a local municipality, such as Niagara Falls is 50 km/h. The City further supplements the statutory speed limits by posting "Maximum 50 km/h Unless Signed Otherwise" signs on all boundary roads entering the City. Please refer to Attachment #1 which includes a Public Notice which previously advertised the statutory speeds in the City; this information is also available on the City website in the Transportation Services section. Therefore, it is expected that residents and tourists in the City should reasonably know the legal speed limit is in the absence of a posted speed limit sign. Although there is not a legislative requirement to post statutory speed limits on all roadways in the municipality, the City does sign major roads and locations where compliance is a concern. Conversely, if the statutory speed limit was posted on all roads, drivers may become complacent by the proliferation of signs, which may reduce its effectiveness. Roads with a speed limit different than the statutory 50 km/h speed 2 TS-2017-03 January 24, 2017 limit is posted accordingly (i.e.; 60 km/h, 70 km/h, 80 km/h, which are generally outside of the urban area). Speed limits in school areas are also the statutory 50 km/h unless otherwise signed. Currently, the City does not have any reduced 40 km/h speed zones in school areas, nor is it our current practice to install flashing warning lights denoting school zones. The City facilitates a number of traffic safety programs to promote safe driving in the City and specifically within school zones. Please refer to Attachment #2 which provides a summary of the traffic safety programs and policies. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial, staffing or legal implications with Staff's recommendation. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Attachment#1 - Speed Limit Public Notice Attachment#2 - Traffic Safety Programs and Policies Recommended by: Y Karl Dren, Director of Transportation Services Respectfully submitted: 1LUI-140 Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer TS-2017-3 Attachment #1 — Speed Limit Public Notice "50 KM/H UNLESS SIGNED OTHERWISE" SPEED LIMIT Niagara,Falls PUBLIC NOTICE The Highway Traffic Act stipulates that all roads MAXIM M within a City are 50 kilometres per hour, unless U signed otherwise. This includes all roadways within the City limits, regardless whether the road is in an urban area or a rural area. Signs are installed at major entry ways into the City Km/h indicating "50 km/h Unless Signed Otherwise." These signs advise drivers of the default speed limit Unless Signed within the City where signs are not present. Otherwise Remember, when you are driving on any street in Niagara Falls and you do not see any speed limit signs, the speed limit on that street is 50 km/h. "50 KM/H UNLESS SIGNED OTHERWISE" TS-2017-3 Attachment #2 — Traffic Safety Programs and Policies ➢ Community Safety Zones - are sections of road where the community has designated as an area where the safety of children/citizens is paramount. Community Safety Zones are intended to be established in areas that may include schools, day care centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, senior citizen residences and may also be used for collision-prone areas within a community. Traffic related offences committed within a Community Safety Zones are subject to increased fines. Many set fines are doubled such as speeding and traffic signal related offences. ➢ Neighbourhood Traffic Management Programs — the purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for initiating, reviewing and implementing the speed control program. Additionally, it sets out reduced warranting criteria in the vicinity of schools, parks or other pedestrian generators. This policy will help to ensure that speed control measures are installed only in appropriate locations where they will increase safety levels and liveability in the City of Niagara Falls and provide the most benefit. ➢ Neighbourhood "Speed Watch" Program - a safety awareness program intended to give motorists a friendly reminder of their speed when travelling through a neighbourhood. By volunteering to participate in this program, residents have the opportunity to help make their neighbourhoods safer. Often, drivers who speed in residential areas are unaware of the effect their actions have on the peace and safety of you and your neighbours. The radar board displays the actual speed of the passing car (whether it is speeding or not) and helps the specific violator become aware of their excessive speed and lets them learn from the experience, without the consequence of a fine. ➢ Radar Speed Boards - are intended to give motorists a reminder of their speed. The speed board display is activated when a driver exceeds the speed limit. Thus, it lets the specific violator become aware of their excessive speed and lets them learn from the experience, without the consequence of a fine. The Niagara Regional Police have indicated their intentions to further continue their enforcement schedule to help maintain the credibility of the device. ➢ School Area and School Crossing Signage — these warning signs are installed on all roads in advance of a school zone or school crossing guard location. Also, directly at the crosswalk where school crossings guards are present. These signs are located and installed in accordance with Provincial regulations. These signs provide warning and guidance to motorists that a school is in the vicinity and to be mindful of school aged pedestrians crossing the road. ➢ School Crossing Guard Program - provides the benefit of assisted pedestrian crossing at warranted locations, in part, based on the needs of a vulnerable sector of society — elementary school-aged children. School Crossing Guards use their adult-cognitive ability to assess potentially hazardous situations and to determine safe gaps in traffic for entry into a crosswalk; providing an additional level of safety for assisting young people across the roadway, along with other traffic devices such as, line painting and applicable warning signs. By connecting the friendly face of an adult School Crossing Guard with young pedestrians, motorists and the community in general, an additional customer service value is provided by the School Crossing program on behalf of the municipality. ➢ "In-Class" School Safety Programs — this is a free service offered to Primary Divisions of local elementary schools in the City of Niagara Falls. The purpose of the program is to discuss, define and promote: basic road safety for pedestrians, the role of a School Crossing Guard in the community and modes of active transportation for good health. The program consists of a discussion period/question & answer segment, role play, viewing of a short, animated film and a take-home package for each student receiving the presentation.

As the Province desires to increase public transportation ridership to support the development of strong communities, the Ministry maintains a Dedicated Gas Tax Funds for Public Transportation Program (the "Program"), under which two cents of the existing provincial gas tax is provided to municipalities for public transportation expenditures. Following the passage of the Dedicated Funding for Public Transportation Act, 2013 (the "DFPTA"), a portion of the tax that is paid to Ontario under the Gasoline Tax Act in each fiscal year is dedicated to the provision of grants, including those pursuant to the Program, to municipalities for public transportation. Any funding to the Municipality by the Ministry will be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Letter of Agreement and the enclosed Dedicated Gas Tax Funds for Public Transportation Program 2016/2017 Guidelines and Requirements (the "guidelines and requirements"). ..12 -2- In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Letter of Agreement and the guidelines and requirements, which the Municipality has reviewed and understands and are hereby incorporated by reference, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are expressly acknowledged, the Ministry and the Municipality agree as follows: 1. To support increased public transportation ridership in the Municipality, and in recognition of the Municipality's need for predictable and sustainable funding to support investments in the renewal and expansion of public transportation systems, the Ministry agrees to provide funding to the Municipality under the Program to a maximum amount up to $1,322,877 in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set out in this Letter of Agreement and, for greater clarity, the guidelines and requirements, with $992,158 payable on receipt of this signed Letter of Agreement and related authorizing municipal by-law(s) and, if applicable, resolution(s), and any remaining payment(s) payable thereafter. 2. Despite Section 1, the Municipality understands and agrees that any amount payable under this Letter of Agreement may be subject, at the Ministry's sole discretion, to adjustment to reflect final gas tax receipts and any other adjustments as set out in the guidelines and requirements. 3. If the Municipality receives dedicated gas tax funds on behalf of any other municipality, and the other municipality has agreed to the Municipality collecting the dedicated gas tax funds on its behalf, the Municipality shall provide, upon request and in compliance with the requirements set out in the guidelines and requirements, any applicable municipal by-law(s) and legal agreement(s) between the Municipality and the other municipality providing for such arrangement to the Ministry prior to the payment of any dedicated gas tax funds by the Ministry under this Letter of Agreement. 4. The Municipality shall deposit the funds received under this Letter of Agreement in a dedicated gas tax funds reserve account, and use such funds and any related interest only in accordance with the guidelines and requirements. 5. The Municipality shall adhere to the reporting and accountability measures set out in the guidelines and requirements, and shall provide all requested documents to the Ministry. 6. The Municipality understands and agrees that the funding provided under this Letter of Agreement represents the full extent of the Ministry's and Province's financial contribution under the Program, and that no additional funds will be provided by either the Ministry or the Province for such purposes to the Municipality for the 2016/2017 Program year. ..13 -3- 7. The Ministry may terminate this Letter of Agreement at any time, without liability, penalty or costs upon giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Municipality.

The funding may be provided only if there is an appropriation for this purpose, and in no event will the funding result in the maximum funding under this Letter of Agreement exceeding the amount specified under Section 1. 8. Any provisions which by their nature are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Letter of Agreement including, without limitation, those related to disposition, accountability, records, audit, inspection, reporting, communication, liability, indemnity, and rights and remedies will survive its termination or expiration. 9. This Letter of Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement duly executed by the Ministry and the Municipality. 10. The Municipality agrees that it will not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Letter of Agreement. 11. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Letter of Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Letter of Agreement. Any invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed to be severed. 12. The term of this Letter of Agreement will commence on the date of the last signature of this Letter of Agreement. 13. The Municipality hereby consents to the execution by the Ministry of this Letter of Agreement by means of an electronic signature. ..14 -4- If the Municipality is satisfied with and accepts the terms and conditions of this Letter of Agreement, please secure the required signatures for the four enclosed copies of this Letter of Agreement and return two fully signed copies to: Ministry of Transportation Division Services and Program Management Office 27th Floor, Suite#2702 777 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2J8 Once the Ministry has received the copies of this Letter of Agreement signed by the Municipality and authorizing municipal by-law(s) and, if applicable resolution(s), the Ministry will make arrangements for the payment of the dedicated gas tax funds to the Municipality.
