• voting places will be accessible to voters with disabilities; and
• persons with disabilities will have access to alternative methods of voting
assistance.
A copy of the Accessible Election Policy is included as Attachment 2 to this report.
Legislation
In addition to existing accessibility requirements pursuant to the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, the Municipal Elections Act states:
Section 12.1 (1)
A clerk who is responsible for conducting an election shall have regard to the needs of electors and candidates with disabilities.
Section 12.1 (2)
Within 90 days after voting day in a regular election, the clerk shall submit
a report to council about the identification, removal and prevention of
barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities.
Section 41 (3)
The clerk shall make such changes to some or all of the ballots as he or
she considers necessary or desirable to allow electors with visual
impairments to vote without assistance referred to in paragraph 4 of
subsection 52 (1).
Section 45 (2)
In establishing the locations of voting places, the clerk shall ensure that
each voting place is accessible to electors with disabilities.
Identification of Barriers
To identify barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities, staff:
• considered various disabilities to identify potential barriers in the election process
• used an accessibility checklist when conducting site visits of each voting location
to assess:
4
 parking
 walkways and ramps
 drop-off and loading zones
 entrances and exterior doors
 lobby, hallways and corridors
 interior doors
 fire exits
 elevator
 interior stairways/ramps
 washrooms
 communications connectivity
 voting room
• assessed voting equipment to ensure it met the needs of the electorate
• assessed past election administration practices, and addressed issues that might
create a risk to accessibility.

The following actions were taken to remove and prevent barriers that affect electors and
candidates with disabilities:
Communications & Information
• A print advertising campaign was undertaken to provide communication and
information to candidates and electors.
• Information for candidates and electors was posted to the Town’s website
including links to Provincial information.

including information from the City, the Province and School Board, where
applicable, including information about campaign expenses for candidates with
disabilities.
• Information was posted to the Town’s website where font can enlarged to aid the
user and in a format for which OCR (optical character recognition) software could
be utilized.

had audio capability through the use of a digital pad, paddles or sip and puff
device to assist voters who cannot negotiate a paper ballot.
5

to electors as required.

providing assistance to mark ballots.
Voting Locations
• Prior to the 2010 election, a representative of the accessibility committee
accompanied staff on site visits of voting locations to ensure full accessibility and
the same accessible locations were used in 2014
• Signs were posted at entrances to identify voting places and directional signs
were posted inside facilities to direct voters to the appropriate room.
• Electors were able to “vote anywhere” at any of the 7 locations open on election
day.

available at each voting location and emergency exits were wheelchair
accessible.

Introduction
The Clerk is responsible for the proper legislative and administrative conduct of
municipal elections in the Town of Orangeville. In accordance with the Municipal
Elections Act, 1996, (the Act), the Clerk shall ensure that each voting place is
accessible to electors with disabilities.
While the Act does not define the term “accessible,” Ontario Regulation 429/07 under
the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, establishes accessibility
standards for customer service in public sector organizations. Accessibility may
include the built environment of a voting location, including but not limited to parking,
entrance, proximity to public transit, lighting and visibility.
The 2014 Municipal Election will be conducted in such a manner to ensure that:
• candidates and electors with disabilities have access to election information and
services;
• voting places will be accessible to voters with disabilities; and
• persons with disabilities will have access to alternative methods of voting
assistance.
Following the election, the Clerk will submit a report to Council concerning the
identification, removal and prevention of barriers that affect electors and candidates with
disabilities.
Election Worker Training
During an election, the Clerk will hire staff to effectively operate voting places. These
persons are appointed as election officials and are delegated certain responsibilities
and duties by the Clerk.
All workers carrying out election duties will be trained to recognize and assist persons
with disabilities. Training will be in compliance with Ontario Regulation 429/07,
Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, and will include the following:
• how to interact and communicate with persons with various types of disabilities;
• how to interact with persons with disabilities who use an assistive device or
require the assistance of a service animal or support person;
• how to use voting equipment and assistive devices to deliver election services;
and
• what to do if a person is having difficulty accessing election information or
services.
Training will be provided by or at the direction of the Clerk.

Assistance to Candidates
Candidates and scrutineers are permitted to be accompanied by a service animal at all
voting places and other designated election locations. The Municipal Elections Act
provides that expenses incurred by a candidate with a disability that are directly related
to the disability, and would not have been incurred but for the election, are excluded
from the permitted spending limit for the candidate.
Assistance to Voters
Section 45 (2) of the Act requires that the Clerk shall ensure each voting place is
accessible to voters with disabilities.
To ensure that electors are provided with the opportunity to vote independently, the built
environment of voting places will be assessed and arrangements will be made to
provide accessible voting technology and assistance to voters.
Voting Locations
Staff will visit each voting place to assess the accessibility of the location.
Parking
11
Designated or reserved parking for people with disabilities and seniors will be provided
close to the entrance of the voting place. Accessible parking spaces will be clearly
posted and easy to see from the road, and will be marked with the international symbol
of accessibility:
Where accessible parking spaces do not exist at voting places, staff shall designate
spaces to be accessible parking for the duration of time that voting places are open on
Election Day. These spaces shall meet the requirements of accessible parking spaces.
Service Animals
Electors requiring service animals are permitted to be accompanied by a service animal
at all voting locations.
Entrance to Voting Place
Where the voting place has steps to the entrance, ramps must exist to assist people
using mobility aids or who have mobility impairments. Curb cuts and ramps must be
wide enough for wheelchairs and scooters, have a non-slip finish and be kept clear of
loose items and debris. If the ramp is temporary, it will be securely attached to the
steps so it cannot slip or wobble. Where the main entrance to the voting station is
inaccessible, another entry point that is accessible will be designated the main entrance
for all voters.
The door into the voting place must be wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through
easily. The door hardware is to be accessible and the door must open automatically,
have power assisted door operators or remain open throughout Election Day. The
Clerk may appoint an election worker to provide assistance for all voters in entering the
voting place should the voting place not have power assisted door operators or be
unable to remain open due to Fire Code requirements.
Interior Voting Area
Access to the interior voting area and voting booth shall be level and easily traversed.
Any doormats or carpeting shall be level with the floor to prevent potential tripping
hazards, and any loose items shall be removed from the route to the voting area. All
voting areas are to be well lit to ensure that people with vision disabilities may clearly
identify colours, patterns and signage.
Signage
Where signage is used, it will be provided in large, high contrast lettering.
12
Accessible Voting Technology
At advanced voting places, voting tabulators will have the capacity for audio ballots.
All voting places will be equipped with magnifying devices for voters with visual
impairment. The use of electronic vote tabulators does not allow for large print on the
ballots as the equipment is not able to read the ballot if the design is not in line with the
regular ballot face.
Voters with disabilities will be encouraged through advertising to vote at one of eight
Advance Votes where accessible voting technology will be available. Voters who
choose not to vote at an Advance Vote may request voting assistance from a support
person or a Deputy Returning Officer on Election Day.
Voting Assistance
Persons with disabilities may be accompanied by a support person within the voting
place. The Deputy Returning Officer in each voting place may also assist voters in
casting their votes.
Prior to entering the voting booth, the Deputy Returning Officer shall, in conjunction with
the person with the disability, determine the extent to which they need assistance and
the best way in which this assistance can be provided. This may include marking the
ballot as directed by the person with the disability.
Where a voting place is located in an institution, election staff may attend voters in their
specific living areas or at their bedside to assist them to vote.
All Deputy Returning Officers are sworn to an oath of secrecy.
Additional Information
Voters and candidates seeking additional information may contact the Clerk’s Office.
Information is also available on the Town of Orangeville Municipal Election website:
www.orangeville.ca/elections.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing provides information about municipal
elections and the Province of Ontario 2014 Municipal Elections Candidates Guide on
their website available at MMAH - Elections.
The Ministry of Community and Social Services has developed the AccessON website
to help understand disability, prevent barriers and to understand accessibility laws.

Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was passed in 2005 with
the goal that Ontario will be a more accessible place to citizens with disabilities by the
year 2025. Providing customer service that is accessible to people with disabilities is
just one way in which Ontario strives to become more accessible.
Elections Staff
As elections staff with the Town of Orangeville, it is important that you know how to
assist people with disabilities in a way that is respectful and helpful. Please keep the
following tips in mind.
Your job is to provide assistance to all voters who need it, not just voters with
disabilities. Besides the tips listed here, there may be some specific things you can do
to assist people with disabilities. If it appears to you that a person with a disability
needs help, ask the person first if you can help him or her. If the answer is yes, ask
what you can do to best help.
Be Patient and Take the Necessary Time
It may take some people with disabilities longer to say what they want to say, or to
understand and respond to you. It may also take them longer to complete a task. It is
OK to spend a little more time with people who need it so they do not feel rushed
though the voting process.
Get to Know the Person’s Needs
Listen to what the person is saying, just as you would with anyone else.
Speak Directly to the Person
It is very important to speak to the person who has come to you for assistance, not to
his or her support person or interpreter. If you need to give directions to the voting
area, or explain the voting process, speak to and make eye contact with the person
who has come to vote. If you need to ask a question, ask the person directly.
Be Respectful and Considerate
Treat people with disabilities with the same respect and consideration you would give
to anyone else.
Do Not Pretend to Understand if You Have Not
Elections staff give and receive important information. If you did not understand,
simply ask the person to repeat himself or herself.
16
Do Not Touch or Distract Service Animals
They are working and need to stay focused on their task.
If There is No Automatic Door Opener
Do open the door for people who need assistance.
One exception to the “asking first rule” is if you are working at a location where there is
no automatic door opener. At these locations, do open the door for people who use
mobility devices such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs or motorized scooters.
Hold the door open from the outside while the person is passing through. Trying to
hold the door open while leaning out from inside will partially block the doorway.
In other situations, ask the person first if you can help him or her. If the answer is yes,
ask how you can best help.
Do Not Touch or Move Wheelchairs or Other Assistive Devices without Permission
These items are part of the person’s personal space. Things like canes and walkers
should always be within the person's reach.
If you need to help a person who uses a wheelchair move through the room, be
sure to ask for permission first before touching or pushing the wheelchair.
Ensure that you leave the person in a safe and dignified position. Do not leave the
person in the middle of the path of travel or facing a wall.
Keep Obstacles out of the Way
Make sure that there is a clear path from the entrance of the building to the room
where people go to vote. It is important that tripping hazards are kept out of the way.
Use People-First Language
It is respectful as it emphasizes the person and not the disability. As an example say a
“person with a disability,” “a person who is blind,” or “a person who is deaf,” rather than
“a disabled person.”
Do not use expressions that convey pity or make it sound like living with a disability is a
negative thing. For example, “confined to a wheelchair” makes the wheelchair sound
like a prison when in reality, it provides independence and freedom. Instead, simply
say “a person who uses a wheelchair.”

RE: December Payment for Municipal Blue Box Recycling for the 2014 Program Year
December 31, 2014
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
Packaging and printed paper compan ies, represented by Stewardship Ontario, fulfill their responsibilities to fund SO% of
the net cost of t he Blue Box Program by making cash payment s t o municipalities on a quarterly basis. The determination
of the amount of ind ustry funding for the 2014 program year was referred t o arbitration by Waste Diversion Ontario
(WOO) after the Municipal Industry Programs Committee {MIPC) was unable t o agree on the ca lculation of t he net cost
of the Blue Box Progra m. The arbitrator set the 2014 obligation at $115,172,322, of which $7,396,320 will be made in inkind advertising contributions.
In making his award, the Arbitrator upheld the enforceability of cost containme nt and the requirement of reasonable
costs for assessing stewards' obligations. We are committed to moving forward collaboratively wit h AMO and the City of
Toronto t o co nstruct the methodology for determining stewards' 2015 payments to municipalities in accordance with
the Blue Box Program Plan, as amended by the Cost Containment Plan.
WOO has posted a memo providing addit ional details regarding the distribut ion of the 2014 interim Blue Box payments.
I would like t o thank you for your partnershi p and significant contributions to waste diversion in this prov;11ce.
Sincerely,
David Pearce

Subject: Some Thoughts for Town Council and Letter to the Editor
Change: Be Careful What You Ask For?
Some Thoughts for Orangeville Council:
Change, an oft talked about concept, especially at election time. Those hoping to be newly elected or
those hoping to be elected to a different role hail it as necessary with themselves being the very agent
for the desired change. In reality the resulting change is usually minimal.
Before I proceed, please forgive my use of the word Council as all encompassing. I chose this format as
opposed to citing individual council members. I recognize not all behaviours are demonstrated
consistently by all Councillors yet I do ask all to consider and reflect on the ideas presented.
Despite being early on in the tenure of this Council it does appear as if one apparent change is in the
manner in which Council openly conducts itself (or at least as reported by the local press). Now we all
recognize all elected officials are indeed individuals each with different strengths, interests and
opinions. It is this diversity that one hopes will be pooled in positive and collaborative manner aimed at
making the best decisions for our community.
Yet what seems to dominate presently is demeaning practices, bickering and belittling and a pettiness
that erodes "principles before personalities". Personal agendas seem much larger that working
collectively for the good of all. After healthy debate I want to hear of support for each other and
decisions as opposed to continued divisiveness.
Now I'm all for 'transparency', being open and upfront but I feel this Council needs to air some personal
differences behind camera and work together in front of camera in efforts to not only boost public
confidence but to genuinely work together for the common good.
Now back to promised change. I believe it was Mayor Williams who promised a 0% increase in our
budget. Now this 'eleventh hour' election promise was certainly embraced by many, I believe a critical
factor in his election. What hasn't really changed is that this is merely an example of political
maneuvering, not something that can really be guaranteed as promised.
Another thing that rarely changes is an honest, humble response or action to failed promises. Does
Mayor Williams have the integrity to resign if unable to deliver a 0% increase in our budget? Now that
would be a change! What won't be is listening to the list of uncontrollable factors that didn't allow this
promise to occur.
The election is over. The airing of personal agendas, the focusing on differences, the negative
challenging each other, behaviours all needed to win are over. What is needed now are positive,
supportive and collaborative behaviours needed to succeed as a Council and progress as a community.
Now that is the change I want!

I truly appreciate your articles in the Orangeville citizen and am totally behind you
CC: Orangeville Council, Orangeville Citizen
Most of the items below have been corresponded to the council members including local media in the
past 3 years and I have personally written to some of the incumbent councillors as late as this week.
1: Sell the Tony Rose arena (constantly losing money due to age and underutilization)
2: Close one of the libraries (in view of internet and tablet availability of books ECT and underutilization)
3: Use the funds from above to build 2 sheets of ice at the Alder location
4: Utilize the Alder pool to the fullest capacity (more hours open including statutory holidays) and use
the rest of the money to pay our Town debt off.
5: Eliminate providing vehicles for all of the town officials (except the fire chief) and pay them for
business mileage.
6: Start scrutinizing work in progress such as snow removal on sidewalks with minimal snow fall,
Providing manned vehicle every time a snow removal is performed by having a sign stating "SNOW
REMOVAl" this could be accomplished by a movable sign.(just to mention a few)
7: look at energy savings in public buildings such as having most of the lights turned off and especially
at the Alder arena and turning off TV"'s while not in use. Are all the lights energy efficient ETC. This was
observed by yours truly and reported to Rob Adams
8: The recent approval by the Council to provide directional signs for the tourists throughout town is
absurd and as pointed by Councillor Don Kidd we have a $600000 information center and why not use it
instead.
The Council also approved $25000 to Pan Am so they can run thru our Town while their executives
spend money lavishly.
9: Every aspect of daily operation of the entire Orangeville Public Works, management, front line
workers has to be analyzed for efficiency and necessities
10: There is no committee in place to start perusal of new business in town that would alleviate
residential tax rate but to accomplish this we have to lower business taxes, which are at an all-time high.
I have provided some ideas how to accomplish this.
11: The Council should consider spending our money as if it was their own and not just nonchalantly
award and spend as if it was no end of a purse. Always ask your self would I spend if this were my
money.
As I stated to some of the Councillors it is very nice to be a nice person and appease a few but it takes
courage and true leadership to lead fiscally and responsibly.
Finally, it is obvious to a lot of us that the Council is divided on many issues and I sincerely urge them to
start working as a team with a common goal of making it easier for the town populace to survive today's
unprecedented high cost of living and get this town moving in the right direction.
Since Tony Rose arena and the library is a huge item I suggest that this be put thru referendum during
the next election (so we do not spend additional money)
Tony rose is very old and needs constant upgrade. Latest being $10000 scoreboard voted by the council.
Remember we are a Town of 30000 and certainly do not rieed duplication of services.

Housekeeping Zoning By-law Amendments Z 2/14
Town of Orangeville
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to recommend amendments to Zoning By-law 22-90 of a
housekeeping nature that were considered at a public meeting that was held on
September 8, 2014.
Report PL-2014-12 to Council outlined the background for the necessity to undertake
housekeeping amendments to ensure the Town’s Zoning By-law remains current and to
ensure the simplification and administration of the document.
Zoning By-law 22-90 has been amended with the approval of many planning
applications. Annually, the Economic Development, Planning and Innovation
Department produces a new office consolidation document that incorporates the
approved amendments.
In addition to approved amendments, under the Planning Act, Council has the ability to
amend its Zoning By-law for minor housekeeping amendments. The last time a
housekeeping update to the Zoning By-law was undertaken was in 2011. Since the last
housekeeping amendment, Planning staff determined several areas in the By-law which
would benefit from a wording clarification or textual improvement.
A statutory public meeting as required by the Planning Act was held on September 8,
2014 to consider all input and comments regarding changes to the proposed By-law.
Notification was provided in the local papers.
The chair of the public meeting inquired as to whether the removal of the minimum size
of a dwelling unit could result in the construction of very small dwellings. The chair was
assured that there are minimum dwelling unit sizes identified in the Ontario Building
Code so that there is protection available in that regard.
A question was also raised with respect to an explanation of the R7, R2 and R4 zones.
It was explained that the different residential zones reflect the different provisions in
terms of lot frontages, areas and setback requirements, with the R2 zone providing
larger frontages than, for example, the R4 and R7, as laid out in the By-law.
The details of the proposed changes to the By-law were further identified in Report PL2014-12, and are further highlighted briefly below. Please see the Draft Housekeeping
By-law attached which provides the details of the revisions (see Schedule “A”).
Proposed Amendments
Include Model Home Provisions
It is proposed that the Zoning By-law be amended to allow up to four model homes to
be constructed prior to registration of the subdivision plan and agreement.
Rezone Orangeville Lion’s Club Sports Park and Murray’s Mountain Park
properties to Open Space - Recreation (OS1)
In 2009, Orangeville Lion’s Club Sports Park and Murray’s Mountain Park were
purchased from the Upper Grand District School Board. To reflect their intended use,
these lands will be rezoned from Institutional to Open Space - Recreation (OS1) Zone
which would allow a park as a permitted use.
Add Permeable Pavers to Section 5.17(3) – Parking Area Surface
Section 5.17(3) of the By-law states that all required parking in addition to the access
within a commercial or industrial zone must consist of hard-surface material. It is
important to consider provisions to allow for permeable pavers as it is a type of
sustainable hard-surface parking material and ties in with our need to consider Source
Water Protection and specifically, ensuring recharge as a result of pervious surfaces.
Permeable pavers encourage this and thus should be reflected in the By-law.
Definition of Dwelling Unit and Boarding House
Both the Zoning By-law and the Building Code contain definitions for dwelling units and
boarding houses. To reduce confusion the following definitions are proposed:
Page 2
Proposed definitions:
 Dwelling unit: “a room or rooms which function as a housekeeping unit used or
intended to be used by one or more persons, in which a kitchen, living quarters
and sanitary facilities are provided for the exclusive use of the residents and with
a private entrance from outside the building or from a common hallway or
stairway.”
 Boarding house: “means a building or a portion thereof containing four or more
lodging units designed to accommodate four or more residents, provided with or
without meals for hire or gain. A lodging house shall not include a group home,
hotel, motel, medical treatment facility, hospital, nursing home, tourist home, bed
and breakfast establishment or home for the aged or similar establishment.”
Parking Requirement - Art Gallery
Section 5.17 Parking Area Regulations, regulates parking requirements based on land
use. Some uses, including an art gallery, do not have a specific parking requirement
and therefore, fall under the general category with the parking requirement being
onerous to provide. As such, staff is recommending that the overall parking requirement
for an art gallery be reduced from 1 parking space for each 9 square metres of floor
area to 1 parking space for each 50 square metres of floor area to more appropriately
reflect the specific use.
74 First Street – S.P. 24.28 – Removal of Residential Use
This property is zoned Neighbourhood Commercial (C2), Special Provision 24.28 and
contains a commercial automotive parts business at the front of the property with a
single detached dwelling at the rear. In1983, S.P. 24.28 was enacted to legalize the
existing two-storey single detached dwelling and to permit the retail and wholesale sale
of motor vehicle parts and supplies and warehousing. Recently, the property owner
applied for and was issued a building permit to demolish the house as it was deemed
unsafe for occupancy. Now that the residential use no longer exists on the property, the
special provision wording relating to the use for residential can be removed.
Change Maximum Height for Accessory Buildings in the General Industrial (M1)
Zone from 4.0 metres to 4.3 metres
The Zoning By-law has regulations for accessory buildings and structures within the
Town. The regulations for all zones, except the General Industrial (M1) Zone, are found
in the General Provisions section of the By-law. The General Industrial (M1) Zone,
however, has separate regulations for accessory buildings and these regulations are
included in the general regulations for the General Industrial (M1) Zone. The maximum
permitted height for accessory buildings in the M1 Zone is lower than other zones and
Page 3
staff is seeking to revise the provision to be consistent with the other zones in the Bylaw.
Rezoning Lots 1-29 Gooseberry Street
In 2013, an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment Application was submitted for 20 & 32
C Line to permit the development of freehold townhouses fronting onto Thompson Road
and a townhouse condominium development on the remainder of the site with access
from C Line. At the public meeting, the residents on Gooseberry Street requested that
Council consider changing the zoning for the properties on Gooseberry Street to better
reflect the established character of the street. A subsequent report recommended by
staff and approved by Council suggested rezoning the properties to a more suitable
zone as part of the next housekeeping amendment from Residential Seventh Density
(R7) Zone to Residential Second Density (R2) Zone and Residential Fourth Density
(R4) Zone, respectively.
As a result of this change however, it is anticipated that several of the existing
properties, both those proposed in the R4 and R2 zones will not be able to satisfy all
provisions of the respective zones, particularly as it relates to deck encroachments and
the front yard setback in the R4 zone and for deck setbacks, and in some cases front
yard and rear yard setbacks, in the R2 zone. As a result, the properties affected will be
considered legal non-complying and will be able to continue to exist without requiring
the need for subsequent variances or special provisions in the By-law.
Amendment to Sections 5.3 and 5.9 – Legal Non-Complying Buildings and
Structures
There are several properties in Town which have buildings or structures that are legal
non-complying which refers to buildings or structures which may have existed for some
time, either pre-dating the By-law or complying with the zone in effect at the time. To
clarify what is permitted in the event of reconstruction the By-law is being amended to
include replacements of legal non-complying buildings or structures provided that the
repair or replacement does not further contravene the Zoning By-law because of a
change in the height, size, volume or use.
Minimum Ground Floor Area
Zoning By-law 22-90 has a requirement in the residential zones for a minimum ground
floor area for single detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings. The Ontario
Building Code has minimum size requirements in place and therefore these provisions
are proposed to be removed.
Page 4
Amendment to Restricted Commercial/Residential (C5) Zone – Regulations for
Other Permitted Uses
There is no minimum interior side yard setback regulation for “Other Permitted
Residential Uses” in the Restricted Commercial/Residential (C5) Zone even though the
other two land use categories in this zone have this regulation in place. A minimum side
yard setback of 1.2 metres for a one-storey building and 1.8 metres for more than one
storey will be introduced for all “Other Permitted Residential Uses” in the C5 Zone.
Wind Turbine Regulations
Zoning By-law 22-90 currently contains a definition and regulations pertaining to Wind
Energy Conversion Systems. Renewable Energy projects under the Green Energy Act
are exempt from the Planning Act, which means Official Plans, demolition control bylaws, zoning, site plan, holding and interim control by-laws do not affect renewable
energy projects. (Section 62.0.2 of the Planning Act).
As such, there is no requirement for regulations for wind turbines in the Zoning By-law
as they are not enforceable. This section of the By-law, definition and regulations will be
removed.
Official Plan and Rezoning Application – 556 Broadway – Broadway Pentecostal
Church
In 2012, an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment Application and a Site Plan
Application were submitted for 556 Broadway to rezone the property from Development
(D) Zone to Institutional (INST) Zone in order to legalize the existing religious institution
and allow for a minor expansion. The site plan has been completed and it was
determined the rezoning could be completed as a housekeeping amendment since the
church predates the rezoning of the property to the D Zone.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact with respect to the housekeeping zoning by-law
amendment.
Vision and Values
This report is consistent with the Town’s Vision and Values in that it demonstrates the
need to spend taxpayers’ money wisely and responsibly and to provide an opportunity
to enhance the Town’s environment while providing for a well-maintained infrastructure.
Recommendation
That Report PL-2015-03, dated December 11, 2014 regarding the Town’s
Housekeeping Zoning By-law Amendments Z 2/14 be received;
Page 5
And that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the By-law to amend Zoning Bylaw 22-90.

Provincial Transit Gas Tax Funding Agreement
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the current 2015 Transit Gas Tax
funding. It is also a recommendation that Council consider a by-law authorizing the
Mayor and Treasurer to sign a Letter of Agreement with the Ministry of Transportation
under the Dedicated Gas Tax for Public Transportation Program.
Since 2004 the Provincial Government has provided annual funding to eligible
municipalities for public transit. The funding comes from a portion of the gas tax that is
allocated to improving and expanding transit. These funds are kept in the Provincial
Transit Gas Tax Reserve Fund for future funding of transit operating expenses and
capital expenditures. Eligible expenses include those that promote the increase of
ridership, are reasonable in nature and are above the 2% incremental baseline
spending.
Baseline spending is the average municipal costs of transit for 2001 to 2003 and is
inflated annually by 2%. Any expenses exceeding this predetermined amount are
eligible for Provincial Gas Tax funds.
The current funding program will run from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. The Town’s
allocation for the 2014/2015 funding program is $259,848. In order to receive this
funding, a Letter of Agreement must be signed and supported by a Town by-law with
documentation sent to the Ministry by January 30, 2015. Annual reporting requirements

from previous years are also required for submission by staff to ensure the release of
funds.
Financial Impact

balance. The 2015 operating and capital budget includes total expenses of $700,510
with $309,359 of eligible gas tax funding after factoring in the baseline spending
required.
Vision and Values
This report is consistent with the Town’s values of spending tax payers’ money wisely
and creating a barrier free community.

2015 Interim Tax Levy By-Law
Purpose
This report requests Council authority to adopt the necessary by-law to levy interim
property taxes for all property classes for 2015.
Under Section 317 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, municipalities are
permitted to pass a by-law to levy interim taxes on all rateable properties for local
municipal purposes. The maximum allowable interim levy is 50% of the prior year’s
adjusted taxes.
The proposed interim tax levy by-law provides for the levy of interim taxes for the 2015
taxation year as authorized under the authority of Section 317 of the Municipal Act S.O.
2001.
Financial Impact
The interim levy is required to provide the necessary cash flow to meet the obligations
for the Town including interim payments to the County of Dufferin and the School
Boards until the annual tax rate can be set and the final notices are prepared in May or
June of 2015.
Vision and Values
This report is consistent with the Town’s values of spending tax payers’ money wisely

Opera House Management Agreement
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on the existing Opera House
Management & Cultural Initiatives Agreement with Theatre Orangeville and to request that Council
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign an agreement with Theatre Orangeville for continued
management of the Opera House.
Since April 2007, the Town of Orangeville (the Town) has entered into a series of agreements with
Theatre Orangeville for the management of the Opera House and for the provision of a cultural
initiatives grant. The agreements are typically reviewed and updated every two years, and since
2007, the annual contribution has remained at $35,000. Of the total funds provided each year,
$15,000 has been given in recognition of Theatre Orangeville’s contribution towards cultural and
economic development in the Town of Orangeville. The remaining $20,000 has represented a portion
of the fixed costs associated with the responsibilities of managing the Opera House. These costs
have included the general administration and staffing associated with running the front office, the
maintenance of technical equipment, and the co-ordination of users of the Opera House facility.
Effective January 2013, the Town entered into a ten year agreement with Theatre Orangeville with a
provision that the agreement be reviewed every two years. At that time, the longer term agreement
was approved so that the Theatre could be eligible for the Canada Cultural Spaces Grant program –
a fund that required a 10-year facility operation agreement in order for applicants to qualify for facility
renovation grants. The agreement completed in January 2013 provided an annual contribution to
Theatre Orangeville of $35,000 through to December 2014.
Proposed Changes to the Opera House Management & Cultural Initiatives Agreement
Page 1
As part of its review, Town staff met with Theatre Orangeville representatives to examine the success
of the existing agreement and to discuss potential amendments for its renewal. Theatre Orangeville
was asked to submit a report outlining the progress that has been made in terms of utilization of the
Opera House, collection of fees, general financial status, as well as a comparison of theatre rental
costs with other community theatres. The subject report is attached as Appendix A.
The report indicates that annual Opera House usage remained fairly constant over the two years
ending June 2014, despite the closure of the Opera House in mid-2013 for an estimated $250,000
renovation project. Between August and September 2013, Theatre Orangeville oversaw significant
renovations to the Opera House, including the installation of new seats, numerous accessibility
improvements, upgrades to the acoustic, technical and electrical systems, and stage improvements.
In the year ending June 30, 2014, the Opera House had been used a total of 325 days and attracted
25,434 visitors.
While evaluating the current agreement with Theatre Orangeville representatives, staff also reviewed
the rate structure utilized to charge user groups for use of the Opera House. As indicated in the
attached report, a 2014 comparison of similar performance venues demonstrates that there is room
to increase the Opera House rental rates while remaining competitive with neighbouring theatres.
Based on a full day rental (8 hours), Theatre Orangeville proposes increasing the For Profit base
rental rate for new contracts from the current rate of $700 to $800 in 2015 and to $900 in 2016. The
Theatre also recommends a base rental rate increase for Non-Profit bookings from the current rate of
$400 to $500 in 2015. It should be noted that Theatre Orangeville has already established a number
of contracts at the current rental rates for dates up to June 30, 2015. Should Council approve rental
rate increases effective 2015, contracts already negotiated for 2015 would need to be honoured at
the 2014 rates. Any new contracts established would pay the rate established and approved by
Council.
Theatre Orangeville has also proposed that the Town’s annual contribution be increased from
$35,000 to $41,000 per year. Since initiation of the agreement seven years ago, there have been no
adjustments to the grant despite increased costs associated with the responsibilities of managing the
Opera House. In addition to staffing, technical upgrades, equipment replacement, and ongoing
maintenance expenses, increased costs have occurred due to the costs associated with carrying
abuse and harassment insurance.
As part of the 2015 budget submission, a request was made for an enhancement of $6,000 to the
Economic Development – Theatre Orangeville operating budget line in recognition of the increased
costs associated with the management of the Opera House.
Page 2
Theatre Orangeville staff have done a good job of managing the Opera House and in meeting the
conditions of the existing agreement. Proposed changes to the existing agreement include:
• Section 2 (c) – Rate structure increases effective January 1, 2015 and where no current
agreement already exists for dates in 2015. For Profit rates would increase from $700 per day
to $800 per day in 2015 and to $900 per day in 2016. Non-Profit rates would increase from
$400 per day to $500 per day in 2015 (demonstrated in Schedule A of the draft agreement
attached as Appendix B to this report).
• Section 2 (e) – Clarification has been added to provide dates for submission of reports from
Theatre Orangeville. Semi-annual reports regarding rental activity, fees collected, and Profit
and Loss Statements will be provided to the Town’s Treasurer via the Economic Development
Manager. Each year, reports will be required for the period of January 1 - June 30 (submitted
by July 30) and for the period of July 1 – December 31 (submitted by January 15). Year-end
Financial Statements prepared for Theatre Orangeville will be submitted by November 30
annually.
• Section 2 (i) - More specific and detailed information has been added to clarify requirements of
Theatre Orangeville with respect to their insurance obligations.
Financial Impact
The renewal of the amended Opera House Management & Cultural Initiatives Agreement with
Theatre Orangeville will result in an annual contribution of between $35,000-$41,000 per year for the
next two years.
Vision and Values
The renewal of the Opera House Management & Cultural Initiatives Agreement demonstrates strong
support of arts, culture and tourism development by the Town. By investing in attractions such as
Theatre Orangeville, sector-related business growth is supported and economic benefits result within
the community.
Recommendation
That report ED-2015-01 dated January 2, 2015 regarding the Opera House Management &
Cultural Initiatives Agreement with Theatre Orangeville be received;
And That the Opera House Rental Rate structure outlined within the appendices of Report-ED-
2015-01 be implemented for all new contracts negotiated for the period commencing January
1, 2015;
And That Council support enhanced funding of the Opera House in the amount of $41,000
annually until December 31, 2016;

And That Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the Opera House Management and

Appendix A
Opera House Report- To June 30, 2014
Opera House Renovations
For a six-week period, beginning of August 2013 to mid-September 2013, the Opera
House underwent significant renovations to the House (seating area). New seats were
purchased, old seats were sold, and the area was redesigned to be as accessible as
possible (including ramping of the front 2/3 of the house at a slope that meets
accessible code). The rear 1/3 of the house is sloped much steeper to allow for visibility
above tall wheelchairs and provides a balcony-like atmosphere. The sound and
technical booths were relocated to a central position improving acoustics and sound
control. Electrical and technical upgrades were made (through conduit in the floor) and
the facility was repainted. New carpet was installed and specialty handrails were
installed at the rear in keeping with the historic charm of the venue. Additionally, wall
behind the back row of seats has been wired to accommodate hand-held devices that
will enhance the theatre experience for the visually impaired.
This $244,000 renovation project was funded by: Heritage Canada ($11 0,000), the
Town of Orangeville ($70,000), Theatre Orangeville Opera House Fund ($40,000),
Service Clubs and In Kind donations (Burnside, Kurtz Millworks) ($4000), and the sale
of the old seats (Town of Orangeville) ($7000}, New Seat dedication ($13,000).
Additional renovations ($22,000) to the stage and lobby were funded by Theatre
Orangeville (Opera House Fund). The proscenium arched wall around stage was
renovated to wood structure to give more flexibility for set designs, the screen was
hidden in the proscen ium, technical and electrical upgrades were made backstage, and,
the wheelchair lift now resides behind a ''moveable" wall in the lobby.
The renovated facility (according to Irwin Seating) can boast of being the most
accessible indoor performance venue of its kind on a per capita basis - in North
America!
Box Office
The Theatre Orangeville Box office is staffed 6 hours a day, Monday to Friday with
additional service 1.5 hours prior to performances. Online ticket sales are available to
Theatre Orangeville patrons and all other user groups of the Opera House through
Orangevilletix.ca- a site managed by Theatre Orangeville. This site. can also provide
ticketing for any event or venue in town (or the area). Box office service is also offered
at the Visitor Information Centre, and supports all users of the Opera House facility . In
addition, the Box Office also delivers Tourism Information Services at the downtown
location.
Appendix A
Financial
Included with this report is a copy of the audited financials of Theatre Orangeville to
June 30, 2014 and two Opera House P&L's. One reflects the calendar year so as to
compare with previous Opera House reports and the second reflects Theatre
Orangeville's fiscal year so as to compare with the audited flnancials.
The following Notes correspond to the Opera House P&L:
Note 1: 4710 and 4750 Donations: Leave a Legacy Seat Sale ''purchases" - receipt
able donations. Tax Receipts issued by Theatre Orangeville.
Note 2. 6560 Payroll: Includes salaries and partial salaries for House Technician and
House Managers.
Note 3: 6561 Contra Payroll: Includes portion of House Technician salary reallocated
to Theatre Orangeville productions.
Opera House Fund
With most tickets sold at the Box Office for events held in toe Opera House, $1.00 per
ticket is added to the base prfce and goes to the Opera House Fund. This fund was
depleted by the recent renovations to the Opera House, but ongoing new-seat
purchases from the Leave a Legacy campaign and $1 .00 per ticket will re-establish this
fund going forward . There is a need for new lighting and other technical upgrades that
will cost in the neighbourhood of $80,000, but these projects will not happen until
adequate funds have been collected. Should equipment fail or break in the meantime,
this fund will support this level of maintenance.
Usage -Report attached
Rental Comparison to other venues - Report attached
Recommendation:
That the For Profit base rental rate of the Opera House be
raised to $800 for any new contracts for 2015 and to $900 in 2016, and the NFP base
rental rate of the Opera House be raised to $500 for new contracts in 2015. All
previously negotiated contracts will be honoured for 2015,

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Theatre Orangeville, which comprise
the statement of financial position as at June 30, 2014 and the statements of operations,
changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibflity for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations,
and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, The procedures selected depend on the auditor's
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or' error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the organization's preparation and fair presentatioh of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
organization's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of e~ccounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Theatre Orangeville as at June 30, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not·forprofit organizations.

their fair value, contributed services are not recognized in the
financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for not-forprofit organizations requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets

reporting period. Actual results could differ from
management's best estimates as additional information
becomes available in the future.

Agreement for Delivery of Visitor Services
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on the existing Visitor Services
Delivery Agreement with Theatre Orangeville and to request that Council authorize the Mayor and
Clerk to sign an agreement with Theatre Orangeville for continued delivery of Visitor Services on
behalf of the Town.
Effective June 1, 2012, the Town of Orangeville entered into an agreement with Theatre Orangeville
for the delivery of visitor services on its behalf. The agreement was renewed for the period of January
1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 with Theatre Orangeville staff providing visitor services primarily from
the Orangeville Visitor Information Centre at 200 Lakeview Court. The agreement included the
completion of a variety of visitor services and tourism related responsibilities by Theatre Orangeville,
and with the exception of select holidays, typically operated seven days per week. In return for these
services, the Town of Orangeville (the Town) has provided an annual contribution of $46,012 for
administration, staffing and promotional costs.
Under the terms of the agreement, Theatre Orangeville operates the Visitor Information Centre by
responding to walk-in, telephone and electronic inquiries about tourism attractions, businesses and
services. Visitor Services staff also conduct outreach and distribute information and materials
throughout Ontario about tourism offerings in the community, work with the Town and the Orangeville
BIA to undertake special tourism initiatives, participate on the Orangeville Economic Development
Committee, develop materials designed to support and prolong visits to the community, and maintain
statistics related to visitor services inquiries. In addition to providing visitor statistics and updates on a
quarterly basis, visitor services staff communicate frequently with Town staff to share ideas and
provide visitor related information as required. A report prepared by Theatre Orangeville summarizing
visitor services activities and statistics undertaken for the period ending October 31, 2014 is attached
to this report as Appendix A.
Page 1
Staff met with Theatre Orangeville representatives to discuss the continuation of the agreement for a
two year term ending December 31, 2016. To date, Theatre Orangeville has been thorough in its
delivery of all components of the Visitor Services Delivery Agreement and has provided outstanding
customer service on the Town’s behalf. With the implementation of the Way-finding Signage Plan
and increased awareness of the services available at the Visitor Information Centre, traffic to the
Centre is expected to increase even more, thereby further supporting visitation to the Town’s tourism
generators.
A draft agreement for the continued delivery of Visitor Services for the period of January 1, 2015 to
December 31, 2016, is attached to this report as Appendix B. Both parties are primarily satisfied
with the terms of the agreement, with minor changes being recommended as outlined below:
- 1 (a) – Theatre Orangeville is recommending that hours of operation be increased by one hour 3
days per week (from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Mondays - Wednesdays); that hours be
changed on Thursdays and Fridays (from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.); and that the
Information Centre, currently open on Sundays from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m., be closed on Sundays in
January and February. Due to the limited tourism related offerings in the area during the months of
January and February and the lack of inquiries received during this period, and in light of the
increased hours offered in higher demand times, this request appears very reasonable.
- Theatre Orangeville also suggests replacing the current tracking system (Excel) with new software.
While research can be completed to determine affordable options, the current tracking system
utilized by the Economic Development Office – CRM - was purchased some time ago with support of
a grant available at the time, and would be costly to implement, train on and provide ongoing support
to. Staff recommends continued use of the existing tracking mechanisms with consideration for new
options being reviewed in the future and if an appropriate funding program became available.
Financial Impact
The renewal of the Visitor Services Agreement with Theatre Orangeville will result in an annual
contribution of $46,012 for the next two years under the Economic Development – Visitor Services
budget line.
Vision and Values
Encouraging Business Growth and Supporting Arts and Culture
Tourism generates economic benefits to the community. It supports a diverse mix of business types
and sizes and helps to support community quality of life amenities. Tourism also supports
Orangeville’s recreational, cultural and heritage facilities and programs as well as local festivals and
events.

Amendment to Traffic By-law 78-2005 for Edgewood Valley Phase 1B
Residential Subdivision
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council consider a by-law to amend the
Consolidated Traffic By-law No. 78-2005 to incorporate new regulatory signs in the
Edgewood Valley Phase 1B Residential Subdivision.
As part of the construction of the works and services for subdivisions, developers are
required to install traffic control signs (stop signs) and parking restriction signs (no
parking signs) in developments. The locations of those signs are determined during the
design review process. Stop signs are typically installed at intersections while no
parking signs are typically installed on the side of the road with fire hydrants, thereby
restricting parking to one side of the street to allow access for emergency vehicles.
Administratively, Council is required to pass a by-law to set out the traffic control
specifics to the Consolidated Traffic By-law. The Consolidated Traffic By-law provides
that the parking prohibitions and restrictions come into force when the signs are erected.
As such, the timing of the proposed by-law is appropriate in that the Edgewood Valley
subdivision roads are built and the homes occupied. Traffic control and parking sign
restrictions will apply to Elaine Drive, College Avenue and Courtney Crescent.
Tables to be added to the Schedules of the Traffic By-law listing the traffic control signs
and parking restriction signs for the Edgewood Valley Phase 1B Subdivision will be
prepared and attached as part of the By-law The tables will also be prepared in a
format that is consistent with the current Schedules of the Consolidated Traffic Bylaw.
As such, Staff recommends that Council consider a By-law to amend the Consolidated
Traffic By-law in accordance with details as set out in this report.
Report PW-2015-03
Page 2
Financial Impact
The Developer for the Edgewood Valley Residential Subdivision is required to supply
and install the signs in accordance with the approved subdivision plans and Subdivision
Agreement. Therefore, no adverse financial impact associated with this report is
anticipated.
Vision and Values
This report is in keeping with the Town’s Vision and Values in that it helps the Town
provide a safe and secure environment for its residents and a well maintained
infrastructure.
Recommendation
That Report No. PW-2015-03, dated December 16, 2014, with respect to an
Amendment to Traffic By-law 78-2005 for Edgewood Valley Phase 1B Residential
Subdivision, be received.
And that Council consider a by-law to amend By-law 78-2005, as amended, to
reflect the changes set out in this report for the Edgewood Valley Phase 1B
Residential Subdivision.

Agreement for Winter Maintenance of GO Transit – Metrolinx Bus
Stops, Various Locations
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council consider a by-law authorizing
the Mayor and Clerk to sign a one year agreement for winter maintenance for the 2014 2015 season for various transit stops for GO Transit – Metrolinx in the Town of
Orangeville.
Background
Since 2007, GO Transit has been providing important transportation services to the
residents of Orangeville. On a regular base, the GO Transit bus routes through the
Town making numerous stops. In 2014, GO Transit improved a number of their existing
bus stops to better serve their ridership and to provide full pedestrian accessibility
features. These features included concrete platforms and a bus shelter. The on-street
bus stop improvements were completed in October, 2014. Subsequent to the
completion of the bus stop improvements, GO Transit - Metrolinx approached Public
Works about winter control maintenance services for the winter season of 2014 - 2015
at three (3) of the reconstructed bus stops.
Discussion
GO Transit as part of their on-going bus route improvements, recently constructed new
concrete pads at three of their on-street stops in the Town of Orangeville. The three
locations are the stops at Blind Line and Hansen Boulevard, West Broadway and
Banting Drive and East Broadway and Fourth Street. The concrete pads were installed
to facilitate the ease of accessibility, making the bus stops barrier free. A “clear
accessible area” is needed to accommodate the deployment of bus lift devices plus roll
off/roll on areas for wheeled mobility aids. The three stops identified are currently used
Report PW-2015-01
Page 2
solely by GO Transit and do not serve as stops for Orangeville Transit. The stops are
however an integral part of the Town’s sidewalk system.
Under its winter control maintenance program, the Town of Orangeville currently
provides winter maintenance for the sidewalk areas adjacent to the new GO Transit
stops. Given that the on-street stops do not coincide with our Transit system bus stops,
Operations Staff would be required to monitor and maintain as additional locations,
should Council decide to provide winter control services. GO Transit – Metrolinx has
asked the Town Operations Staff to consider winter maintenance on the three identified
bus stops. Costs for winter control were determined and are as follows:
Snow Clearing (> 50 mm)
$375 per event per site
Salting & Sanding only (based on lump sum)
$ 50 per event per site
Given the size of the stops it is anticipated that winter maintenance of the three
locations would be approximately ½ hr per site per event. The unit rates have been
provided to GO Transit - Metrolinx and they are accepting of the unit rates as well as the
conditions set out in our winter control policies.
A review by Public Works has also determined that operations have the necessary staff
and equipment to undertake the anticipated winter control work at the three GO Transit
Stops. Given the integrated nature of the bus stop locations and our sidewalk system, it
is also considered reasonable to undertake winter control maintenance or both at the
same time. The winter maintenance control will conclude on April 30, 2015. As Public
Works foresee no issues with the arrangement of winter maintenance at the various
locations and entering into an agreement with GO Transit - Metrolinx that results in
additional revenue, staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to
sign an agreement for winter maintenance with GO Transit – Metrolinx for the 2014 2015 winter season. Future winter maintenance with Metrolinx beyond the 2014 - 2015
season will be evaluated by Public Works following a review of this initial one-year
agreement.
Financial Impact
The agreement requires GO Transit - Metrolinx to pay for winter maintenance on an
event basis at the unit rates as set out in this report. Accordingly, winter maintenance
for the various on-street bus stop locations will be a source of revenue for the Town of
Orangeville. There will be a positive financial impact on the Town of Orangeville.
Vision and Values
This report is consistent with the Town’s Vision and Values statement in that it spends
taxpayers’ money wisely, a barrier free community and provides for a safe and secure
environment.

Agreement for Winter Maintenance of Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph
Health Unit Parking Lot, 174 Broadway
Purpose
the Mayor and Clerk to sign a one year agreement for winter maintenance for the 2014 2015 season for the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Health Unit (WDGHU) parking lot,
located at 174 Broadway in the Town of Orangeville.
Background
At its meeting on June 11, 2014, Council received Report No. BB-2014-05 which
summarized construction costs for the parking lots at 172 and 174 Broadway. The cost
of the works were equally shared by the Town and the WDGHU. The parking lot
reconstruction works were completed in September 2014. Subsequent to the
completion of the parking lot construction, the WDGHU approached Building and By-law
about winter control maintenance services for the 2014 - 2015 winter season of the
newly constructed parking lot at 174 Broadway.
Discussion
With the recent re-development of 174 Broadway and the reconstruction of its
associated parking lot, the parking lots of 172 and 174 Broadway have become one
integral parking lot area. Under its winter control maintenance program, the Town of
Orangeville currently provides winter maintenance for the Town owned portion of the
parking lot area at 172 Broadway. The WDGHU asked if the Town Operations Staff
would consider winter maintenance on the parking lot portion of the WDGHU, 174
Broadway. Costs for winter control were determined and are as follows:
Report PW-2015-02
Page 2
Ploughing of snow (50 mm to 125 mm)
$100 per hour
Ploughing of snow (> 125 mm)
$150 per hour
Snow Removal (based on a lump sum removal cost)
$200 per removal
Salting & Sanding only (based on lump sum)
$ 90 per event
Given the size of the WDGHU lot, it is anticipated that winter maintenance of the lot at
174 Broadway will take approximately ½ hr to 1 hour per event. The unit rates have
been provided to the WDGHU and they are accepting of the unit rates as well as the
conditions set out in our winter control policies.
The winter maintenance activities have also been reviewed by Public Works.
Operations have the necessary staff and equipment to undertake the anticipated winter
control work. Given the integrated nature of the two parking lots, it is also considered
reasonable to undertake winter control maintenance at both lots at the same time. The
winter maintenance agreement will conclude on April 30, 2015. As Public Works and
Building and By-Law foresee no issues with the arrangement of winter maintenance at
172 and 174 Broadway and entering into an agreement with the WDGHU that results in
additional revenue, staff recommend that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign
an agreement for winter maintenance with the WDGHU. Future winter maintenance
with WDGHU beyond the 2014 - 2015 winter season will be evaluated by Public Works
following a review of this initial one-year agreement.
Financial Impact
The agreement requires the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Health Unit to pay for winter
maintenance on an event basis at the unit rates as set out in this report. Accordingly
winter maintenance for the parking lot at 174 Broadway will be a source of revenue for
the Town of Orangeville. There will be a positive financial impact on the Town of

Town Page/Corporate Advertising
Purpose
The Town’s goal is to co-ordinate its advertising, realize savings and efficiencies, and
maximize exposure of corporate communications. This report outlines options for the
placement of print media advertising.
The cost of advertising in print media has risen in recent years, and over time, the size
of the actual pages in each of the regular news media publications has been reduced.
The Town’s accessibility practices for website documents also carries over into
newspaper advertising with the use of larger font sizes – resulting in larger ad sizes.
Those factors, combined with an increased use of print advertising by Town
departments and services, have led to higher advertising expenditures for the
corporation.
The total cost for corporate advertising in 2013, in the two local newspapers, was
$86,068 – 69 percent ($59,323) of which was for Town Pages in the Communications
budget. It should be noted here that an additional $9,265 was expended with Snapd
Dufferin – a monthly publication; $5,932 was expended on ads in eight external
publications for economic development and tourism; and a minimal amount was
expended with In Our Space magazine and Niagara Escarpment Views, primarily for
wedding services offered by the Town.
The co-ordination of all Town advertising would realize efficiencies while maximizing
exposure of corporate communications. A new communication channel is entering the
mix in 2015 with the CRTC approval of an Orangeville radio station, 101.5 FM, that will
commence commercial operations early in the year and staff will consider the potential
for that avenue of advertising in 2015.
While the print media advertising expenditures may vary from year to year, the need is
clear. Previous website surveys have seen respondents indicate a high reliance on local
newspapers and the municipal website for information about programs, services and
news. The current age-friendly initiative survey has provided additional support for the
value of print media advertising. More than 54 percent of respondents to the survey
(geared towards people aged 55+) said they obtain their information through print media
advertising and 46 percent through online and digital media. A total of 84 percent of
respondents said they feel they are informed about community events.
The majority of the Town’s advertising appears as part of Orangeville’s “Town Page”, a
regularly scheduled page or pages of advertising that typically appears every other
week, alternating between the two mainstream print media outlets in Orangeville – the
Banner and Citizen – as co-ordinated and designed by the Town’s Communications
office. That frequency necessitates some departments placing standalone ads, as
needed, separate from the Town Page.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in November to solicit competitive pricing for
the Town Page and additional print advertising for a one-year period with the option to
renew for a further one-year period. The RFP was issued to the Orangeville Banner and
the Orangeville Citizen and both local newspapers submitted proposals. A staff team
evaluated the submissions based on the matrix included in the RFP and the details,
pricing and evaluation scoring of three options are provided below:

Value Added Items
The Citizen has added extra value to option one by offering free insertion of flyers twice
during the term of the contract and links from the Town Page on the Citizen’s website to
the Town of Orangeville website.
Additional Corporate Advertising
The Banner has offered a rate of 61 cents per agate line (14 agate lines to an inch) for
additional ads and included full process colour with this price.
The Citizen has offered a rate of 42 cents per agate line under option 1, a rate of .53
cents per agate line under option 2, and a rate of 63 cents per agate line under option 3.
Colour would be added, at no charge, under option 1, or 40 percent off on additional
ads if option 2 is chosen, or 25 percent off under option 3.
Financial Impact
The proposed Town Page line item, in the draft 2015 budget, is $76,320 (including
taxes) based on escalating use and print prices. In 2013 and 2014, the actual Town
Page expenditure was $60,000 and $68,000 respectively. The amount of savings to be
realized depends on the option selected.
The Citizen’s response to option 1 offers increased frequency of advertising, the best
guaranteed placement, and the best price at $50,400 plus tax, a cost savings from the
current expenditure.
Page 3
The Citizen also offers a 40 percent discount on additional corporate advertising for all
departments. To put the value of additional advertising in perspective, the Town spent
$26,745 in additional advertising with the Banner and Citizen in 2013.
The Option 1 proposal from the Citizen realizes approximately $18,000 in savings from
the current expenditure and doubles the exposure. In addition, it should allow the Town
to consolidate the majority of its advertising on the weekly Town page, with potential
corporate savings across all departments for stand-alone ads. There may still be
occasions when stand-alone advertisements are necessary and the Citizen Option 1
proposal offers a 40 percent discount on those ads.
Vision and Values
As a major promotion and communication tool for Orangeville, the Town Page and other
print advertising by the corporation encourages community involvement and spends
taxpayers’ money wisely and responsibly. Print advertising results in revenue from user
pay programs, supports arts and culture programs, and encourages business growth
(through Economic Development programs), and promotes tourism.
Recommendation
That report CO-2015-01 dated January 5, 2015 regarding the Town Page and
corporate print advertising be received;
And that Council approve a contract with the Orangeville Citizen as detailed in
Option 1, for the publication of a weekly Town Page and for additional corporate
advertising, as deemed necessary by the Town;
And that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the contract with the
Orangeville Citizen and any related documents.

Delegations
The Deputy Chief advised that Constable Scott Davis would like to speak to the
Board. Constable Davis was introduced to new Board member Ken Krakar and
thanked the Board for having him.
Constable Davis stated he is here as a member of the Orangeville Police
Association. It came to his attention that the President of the Association was
attending at Orangeville Council tonight to discuss the costs associated with the
2
August 11, 2014
death of Adam Sprague. Constable Davis advised that the President is making the
presentation without the consent of the Association as a whole. Constable Davis
has spoken with many members of the Association and most were not aware of this
presentation. He is concerned and embarrassed that this is happening without the
knowledge and direction of the Association.
Constable Davis does not know how this will be remedied at the Association end
but feels the process of going through the Association was circumvented in order to
have this presentation.
Constable Davis advised that the Association is being kept in the dark. Some
officers e-mailed the President of the Association today asking him not to attend at
Council and their requests went unanswered. Constable Davis advised that subject
to Board approval, it is his intention to attend at Council this evening and give the
same message. The Mayor stated that he appreciates Constable Davis being here
and it is good to know that the hard working men and women of the force are not
part of this. He doesn’t feel this being dragged into the public benefits anyone. The
Mayor has attended an Association meeting to try to extend an olive branch to no
avail. He advised that everyone is welcome at Council meetings and the public can
judge what is reasonable and fair.
The Chair thanked Constable Davis for attending the meeting and asked if there
were any questions for Constable Davis.
The Chief thanked Constable Davis for attending and advised it takes a lot of
courage to do what he is doing.
Constable Davis replied it’s about doing the right thing and the right thing isn’t
happening.
The Deputy Chief advised we have a lot of newer officers who are afraid to speak
out but he feels doing the right thing is the mutual feeling within the building.
The Mayor stated that 88% of our budget is wages. Legal fees are less than 1%
and the inquest fees are covered by our insurance policy. This doesn’t reflect well
on anyone. We need to put these things behind us and turn the public relations
around. He added he is shocked that the President is going to Council when it’s
this Board that has authorization, not Council. Constable Davis then left the
meeting.

Delegations and Presentations
Representatives of the Headwaters Communities in Action (HCIA) Trails Working
Group, Ms. Karen Morrison and Mr. Chris Broom gave a presentation to committee
members on the proposed Bicycle Friendly Orangeville project. They introduced
themselves as a not-for-profit organization who has established a Trails Working Group
to focus on building safe bicycling routes in Dufferin County. Several initiatives have
already been undertaken including a CAN-BIKE instructors program, a Kid’s Bike
Festival that provided bike care and bike safety education to youth and their parents, as
well as participation in the 2013 Dufferin County Trail audit.
Mr. Broom said that Orangeville trails were not included in the audit and that HCIA
would like to work with the Town of Orangeville to seek funding from the Ontario Sport
and Recreation Communities Fund (OSRCF). He said Orangeville could be eligible for a
Bicycle Friendly Community award by following the ‘Share the Road Coalition’
guidelines. The benefits to Orangeville would be increased cycling tourism, as well as
safer roads for community cyclers fostering an active living lifestyle. To meet ‘Share the
Road’ designation Orangeville would follow the five essential E’s; Engineering,
Education, Encouragement, Enforcement and Evaluation/Planning.
Orangeville Sustainability Action Team Meeting – November 11, 2014
2
The HCIA Trails Working Group is requesting a partnership with the Town to embrace
this initiative, and to assist in the OSRCF grant application. Ms. Morrison and Mr. Broom
met with Orangeville Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Economic Development,
Planning and Innovation staff to discuss procuring partnering funding totaling $5,000 for
the application submission. This financial commitment would give access to $50,000
cash and $50,000 in-kind funding for a two year project. It was suggested that OSAT
and the other Town departments could partner in covering the $5,000 with small
financial impact. They identified the Optimist Club Bike Roadeo, Monora Park Bike Fest
and workshop events by Cycling Elements as ‘in kind’ contributions supporting the
application. They were optimistic that cycling would be expanded in the Parks and
Recreation Trails Master Plan and that bicycle route signage could be included in the
Way-finding Plan.
Councillor Bradley said that one of the biggest obstacles in Orangeville is that parents
do not feel the streets are safe and do not allow children to walk or cycle, hence driving
their kids everywhere. Mr. Broom gave the example that Peterborough has encouraged
safe cycling by allowing cycling on sidewalks and providing special info sessions
regarding safe routes. It was suggested Orangeville Police Services and OPP could
support safe cycling by enhanced driver education to share the road with pedestrians
and cyclists.
Mr. Jeff Lemon has researched other communities and noticed Orangeville is behind
other areas such as Peterborough, Blue Mountain and Guelph in developing active
transportation.
Mr. Broom will ask for letters of support at Council to proceed with the grant application
due in February 2015. Mr. Mark Whitcombe stated that due to a new Council, new
committees and the budget process it would be difficult for OSAT to give a solid
commitment at this meeting within that time frame. Councillor Bradley asked if OSAT
would be invited to sit on a sub-committee; if this would be a pilot project or encompass
all of Orangeville; and who the coordinator for the project would work for. Mr. Broom
said other towns have applied to do pilot projects and that long term commitment has
been necessary.

Motion: “That the minutes of the October 14, 2014 meeting be adopted.

5. Business Arising from Minutes
Ms. Jessica Gut has not contacted 2014 garden plot users to remind them of year end
maintenance duties at the community garden.

6. Items for Discussion - Subcommittee Reports
Community Gardens
Ms. Gut will send an email reminding everyone about year-end maintenance. Councillor
Bradley said that Gary Skinn held a clean-up and winterizing day at the community
gardens but nobody participated. Mr. Skinn is looking for more help and additional
mulch. Councillor Bradley will get the required mulch.
Transportation
Mr. Lemon gave several examples of ways to promote active transportation recognizing
World Car-free day on September 22, proposed a proclamation of an Orangeville ‘bike
month’ in May, a ‘bike to work week’, and inclusion in a sustainability plan or the Master
Trail Plan. Good info can be found on the Guelph or Blue Mountain and Cambridge
websites. Mr. Lemon said e-bike legislation will be an issue as their popularity will
require a distinction between being a bicycle or motorcycle using roads and trails.
In light of the Bicycle Friendly Orangeville project information, the committee discussed
existing bike routes in Orangeville. Some new streets have designated bike lanes
(Hansen Boulevard) and it was advised that many of the paved trails (Amelia Street and
C Line) in Orangeville permit bicycle use. Councillor Bradley said there were probably
many easy things the committee could do to designate cycling trails with painted icons
to expand existing bicycle routes. Councillor Bradley asked Mr. Lemon to identify trails
or streets that OSAT could easily mark as safe bicycle routes and report a summary at
the next meeting.
Toronto transit has recently decommissioned their bike carriers on transit bus services.
Mr. Lemon asked if there was a possibility that Orangeville buses could get some of
those racks or if they would even fit on the Orangeville buses. Councillor Bradley will
enquire about getting bicycle racks from Toronto transit.
Conservation – no report
Urban Forestry
Mr. Whitcombe reported that on the November 2nd tree planting day there were four
volunteers from Orangeville (OSAT) and six associates of Mr. Steve Ott from Brampton.
Mr. Kevin Barry from Parks and Recreation arranged to have a front end loader
available which was much appreciated. The trees were of excellent quality and carefully
planted between 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mr. Ott will return on November 15th to spread
mulch and wrap trees in burlap.
In appreciation for assistance with the fall tree planting event Councillor Bradley
suggested that OSAT could make Baby Tree donations on the behalf of Danya Stalder’s
expected baby, and Mr. Ott’s child. Theatre tickets have been requested for all of the
helpers on Mr. Ott’s team.
4
Mr. Whitcombe gave an account of the gator bag program and he has collected many of
the 40 bags that were distributed so they can be re-paired and re-distributed next year.
He said the trees located where residents embraced the program were all healthy. The
people who did not embrace the program had unhealthy trees and some had
complained about hose and water consumption expenses. Councillor Bradley asked if
OSAT should purchase more gator bags siting 240 ash tree replacements. Mr.
Whitcombe will contact Sarah Pihel at Public Works for a cost analyses for tree planting
and keeping them alive vs. tree replacements.
Councillor Bradley asked Ms. Betty Ann Lusk to provide an up-to-date summary of the
OSAT budget to next meeting.
7. New Business
East Entrance Tree Planting – addressed under Urban Forestry discussion.
Cycling/Active Transportation –discussed under Transportation
Councillor Bradley reminded OSAT members that they are invited to attend the
Volunteer Appreciation Night on Monday, November 24th at 7:00 p.m. in the Banquet
Hall at Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre.

members are reminded that new and re-applications will be required.

New Businesses in Orangeville – Nov. 1 – Dec. 31, 2014
Reviewed by:
The attached list of new businesses registered/established within the Town of Orangeville is
developed as a result of input from a number of Town Departments, including the Small Business
Enterprise Centre/Economic Development, Administration, Clerk's Office, Planning, and Building/Bylaw.
Staff endeavour to provide a comprehensive and inclusive listing. However, our ability to include all
businesses starting in Orangeville will be effected by the following limitations:
- Business registrations are completed via the internet and the Town does not have access to these
registrations unless performed within the Economic Development/SBEC Resource Centre.
- Sole proprietors operating under their own legal names only are not required to register their
businesses.
- A large number of home-based proprietorships are established each year, many of them offering
very specific services to targeted markets. As a result of the volume of these operations, and for the
convenience of Council, staff will provide numbers of home-based operations started in town, based
on the information available to staff, as opposed to providing in-depth information about them.

Subject:
Downtown Supermarket Inquiry
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with background information regarding the availability
of supermarkets within the Town of Orangeville, both within and outside of the downtown area.
The Town of Orangeville’s Official Plan establishes patterns for development within the municipality
that, in part, help to enhance the diversity and balance of job and commercial opportunities in order
to meet the needs of all members of the community. Included in the Plan are definitions for intended
uses for various commercial areas within the Town, including the Central Business District (CBD).
The attached Schedule A outlines the defined area of the CBD in the Official Plan.
The Town’s existing Official Plan states that the ongoing viability of the Town’s CBD shall be partially
supported by encouraging the CBD as a location for specialty shopping, services of all kinds, and
non-departmental store type merchandise outlets. The Plan states that the types of uses particularly
encouraged and supported in the CBD by virtue of their ability to contribute to the economic vitality of
the area and to serve both residents and visitors to the Town include: destination retailers, specialty
shopping facilities including liquor and food stores, business and personal services of all kinds,
governmental facilities, entertainment facilities, and attractions and services for tourists.
Although no supermarkets exist within the CBD, a number of food stores and specialty shops exist
within the designated area to support the Town’s goals with respect to the downtown area, including:
The Orangeville Farmers’ Market, Fromage, Son of a Chef Bakery, The Chocolate Shop, and Wicked
Shortbread. The Orangeville Farmers’ Market, a highly successful market that operates from Town
Hall in the heart of the downtown area weekly from May to October and bi-weekly from November to
Page 1
April, offers a wide variety of local fresh foods, vegetables, meats, and speciality products and serves
to highlight the CBD as a focal point and cultural centre for the community. The Market not only offers
a wide variety of food products, but also draws shoppers to the downtown and complements the
various specialty shops located within the CBD.
Just outside of the Central Business District, but within the Business Improvement Area (BIA), is the
Zehrs supermarket and a number of other food related shops including an M&M Meat Shop and the
recently expanded WalMart SuperCentre, which now includes a full grocery component. As well, just
two blocks west of the CBD and outside of the BIA district but in close proximity to the downtown is
FreshCo, a 30,700 square foot supermarket located in the Westdale Mall, offering a full range of
grocery products.
Supermarkets are defined within the Town’s Official Plan as one of the major retail anchor tenant
uses for Neighbourhood Commercial designated locations. Currently the Town of Orangeville is
serviced by five supermarkets, totaling approximately 205,500 square feet (excluding the WalMart
SuperCentre). Plans are underway to expand the existing Sobeys supermarket located in the
southwest quadrant of Town by approximately 6,000 square feet to approximately 55,000 square feet
in 2015.
A Supermarket Demand and Impact Study completed by Tate Economic Research Inc. in June 2014
prepared in support of the Sobeys expansion indicated that there are currently no existing, vacant
commercial units in the Town large enough to accommodate a new supermarket. It should also be
noted that staff have not received any expressions of interest by site selectors or potential operators
to locate a supermarket within the CBD/downtown core and that Orangeville Transit does provide bus
stops in close proximity to all Orangeville based supermarkets.
Financial Impact
None
Vision and Values
Enhancing the Town’s environment
Varied, designated shopping locations within the community help to enhance the diversity and
balance of job and commercial opportunities in order to meet the needs of all members of the
community.

Re:
Dufferin Municipal Provincial Offences Act Board Appointment
Dear Ms. Greatrix
As the new of Term of Council approaches, the Town of Caledon has been
reviewing all of the various board and committee appointments for members of
Council.
As part of our due diligence, staff . has reviewed the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) and Local Side Agreement the Town of Caledon has
entered with the Attorney General for the administration of the Dufferin Caledon
Court Services Area.
The Dufferin Municipal Provincial Offences Act Board (POA Board) was created
to conduct the business of the Dufferin Court Service Area. The constitution of
the POA Board includes the Board Member composition represented by each of
the Municipal Partners. In accordance with the constitution, The Town of
Orangeville may appoint two Members to the POA Board.
After further review of the MOU it is the Town of Caledon's position that this
appointment be a staff representative of your municipality and not a political
appointment. This will ensure that the Town of Caledon does not contravene the
operational standards as outlined in the MOU.
A survey of the composition of all the POA Boards in the Central West Region
was conducted. The results indicated that there was no political representation
on any of the other Boards. As a result, the Town of Caledon is requesting that
the Council of the Town of Orangeville appoint two staff representatives as a
member of the POA Board.
Once the POA Board is in place, a full review of the Constitution and InterMunicipal Agreement can occur with the new membership.
Please provide the Town of Caledon with your appointed representative once
completed.

Agreement for Telecommunications Hardware on the West Sector
Reservoir, Rogers Communication Inc.
Purpose
the Mayor and Clerk to sign an agreement with Rogers Communications Inc. for the use
of the West Sector Reservoir for the installation of telecommunication hardware.
In February of 2014, Rogers Communication Inc. contacted Public Works, requesting
permission to install telecommunication equipment at the West Sector Reservoir. This
request included the installation of antennas, cabling and a cabinet shelter with
equipment on the north-easterly side of the base of the reservoir. Public Works
reviewed the proposal and discussed the hardware installation with Rogers Wireless.
Public Works brought forth to Council in August of 2014 a report, PW-2014-46 which
sought Council approval in principle for the installation of the hardware at the West
Sector Reservoir by Rogers and to prepare an agreement to cover annual fees,
equipment installation, maintenance and access to the West Sector Reservoir.
Report PW-2014-46 (C11/A12) with its recommendation to prepare an agreement to
cover all fees and costs was received and passed at Council’s meeting of September
8th, 2014.
Subsequent to Council’s approval in principle to allow the hardware installation, Public
Works has prepared an agreement to cover the fees and expenses associated with this
request. The agreement is similar in nature to the agreement currently in place with
Telus Communications who use the West Sector Reservoir for similar purposes and
which was renewed in February 2013. The Telus Agreement runs through to 2020.
Report PW-2015-04
Page 2
There have been no problems to date with the arrangement with Telus and Public
Works is not anticipating any issues with this new agreement with Roger’s
Communications.
The term of the Licence Agreement is for five years with provisions in the Agreement for
extensions subject to Roger’s desire to continue to use the West Sector Reservoir for
telecommunication purposes. Payment in fees from Roger’s will be $12,500 in 2015
(year one) plus applicable taxes plus a fee increase of 3% each year. This is
comparable to the current agreement with Telus Communications.
Financial Impact
The costs Orangeville incurs to have the Roger’s telecommunication equipment at the
West Sector Reservoir are minimal. The annual licence fee received from Rogers is an
appreciable revenue source for the water works function. Therefore there will be a
positive financial impact on the Town of Orangeville.
Vision and Values
taxpayers’ money wisely and provides for a safe and secure environment.
Recommendation
That Report No. PW-2015-04 dated January 13, 2015 with respect to an agreement
for the use of the west sector reservoir for telecommunication hardware for
Rogers Communication Inc., be received;
agreement with Rogers Communication Inc. to allow telecommunication
hardware to be placed on the West Sector Reservoir as set out in this report.

Water Pollution Control Plant Expansion – Update and Next Steps
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the status of the Water Pollution
Control Plant (the Plant) Expansion project and to recommend that Council direct staff
to issue a tender for the construction of the Plant Expansion.
Background
In 2001, the Town and its consultant began work on the Long Term Servicing Strategy
(the Strategy) for water supply and sewage treatment for the Town of Orangeville. The
Strategy, which was completed in late 2004, identified that an expansion of the Plant
would be required to service the remaining undeveloped lands within the Town’s current
municipal boundary. In 2006 the Town and its consultant began work on the enhanced
Class Environmental Assessment for the Expansion and Upgrade of the Plant. In
March of 2011, following considerable work and extensive discussion with Credit Valley
Conservation, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources,
the Plant expansion project received Environmental Assessment Act approval.
At its August 13, 2012 meeting, Council accepted the proposal of RJ Burnside &
Associates Ltd. (Burnside) to undertake the detailed design for an expansion of the
Town’s Plant. Over the past two years, Public Works staff have met with Burnside’s
design team on a regular basis to review the status of the design, assist with equipment
selection, and provide direction where required. The new Environmental Compliance
Approval for an expanded Plant has now been issued by the Ministry of the
Environment and Climate Change, the construction drawings and specifications are
complete and the project is ready to go to tender. It is anticipated that construction will
take approximately three years to complete.
Report PW-2015-05
Page 2
At its September 23, 2013 meeting, Council authorized Burnside to proceed with a
process to pre-qualify contractors that will be allowed to bid on the Water Pollution
Control Plant Expansion project. The pre-qualification process is complete. Of the
eighteen general contractors that submitted documents, eight were pre-qualified and
are therefore eligible to submit tenders for the project.
Discussion
Considerable time, effort and cost have brought the Town to a point where we are ready
to issue a tender for the construction of the Plant Expansion and Upgrades. This
project is the implementation of the Town`s approved Strategy for sewage treatment.
The hydraulic capacity of the expanded facility will be 17,500 m 3/day, which is an
increase of 21.5% over the existing hydraulic capacity of 14,400 m3/day. This additional
capacity will service all of the remaining undeveloped land within the Town’s existing
municipal boundary.
In 2007 Council passed a Sewage Treatment Allocation Policy that limits the amount of
sewage treatment capacity that may be allocated prior to an expansion of the Plant.
Using the approach dictated by the Sewage Treatment Allocation Policy, all available
sewage treatment capacity at the Plant has been exhausted. In 2013 and 2014 Council
chose to make several allocations of sewage treatment capacity despite the provisions
of the Sewage Treatment Allocation Policy, which was justified for three primary
reasons: an allocation of capacity was being held for Humber College, which is no
longer necessary; the Policy was based on the flows to the Plant in 2006, however in
the eight years since 2006 the flows have been an average of approximately 13% lower;
and the Plant expansion project was well underway. Directing staff to issue a tender for
the construction of the expansion works will allow staff to recommend further allocations
of sewage treatment capacity to new developments.
Burnside has provided Public Works with the following schedule for the tender process:






January 19 – Council approval to go to tender;
February 2 – Drawings and Specifications to printers;
February 9 – Tender documents sent to pre-qualified bidders;
March 16 – Close Tenders;
April 13 – Council Award of tender; and
April 30 – Start Construction.
Financial Impact
The total estimated cost of the Plant Expansion and Upgrades project is $27,500,000, of
which $20,800,000 will be funded from Development Charges and $6,700,000 will be
funded by Wastewater Rates.
The draft 2015 capital budget includes an allocation of $7,626,916 for the Plant
expansion project. The full anticipated cost of construction has not been included in the
draft 2015 budget as construction will take approximately three years to complete. Only
those funds that staff anticipate will be spent in 2015 has been included. Thus, staff

suggest that a specific motion of Council, in addition to approving the allocation for the
2015 capital budget, would be appropriate prior to issuing the tender.
As noted above, staff anticipate bringing a report to Council to award the tender on April
13, 2015. That report will also include a cash flow analysis based on the proposed
construction schedule and bid prices included in the tender. This will provide Council
with information on the timing of expenditures, the availability of development charges
and wastewater rates to fund the project, and the timing and magnitude of debt
required.
