Requiring Council Action:
1) Correspondence from Canadian Union of Postal Workers
Motion No.: 32-2015
Moved by: Councillor Sutherland
Whereas Canada Post and the Conservatives are taking an axe to longtreasured postal services – killing good jobs, eliminating door-to-door delivery,
drastically increasing postage rates and closing, downsizing and reducing hours
at post offices;
Whereas Canada Post did not properly consult on these changes, effectively
eliminating any opportunity for input from the people who will be most affected;
and
Whereas closing and downsizing post offices, reducing post office hours and
eliminating door-to-door delivery will reduce service and eliminate thousands of
jobs in community throughout our country.
Whereas Canada Post offers a public service that needs to be protected;
Be it resolved that the Council of the Township of Georgian Bluffs write a letter to
the Minister responsible for Canada Post that calls on the government to reverse
the changes to services announced by Canada Post, and to look instead for
ways to increase service and revenues in areas such as postal banking.
Be it further resolved that the Council of the Township of Georgian Bluffs ask the
Federation of Canadian Municipalities to request that the federal government
consult with the public about what kind of postal service they need before

Corporate Services
1) Cost of Living Allowance
Acting CAO Holly Morrison presented her report to Council. She noted that
Council is responsible for approving pay grids for all staff. The proposed 2015
budget includes funds for a 2.0% COLA for the non-union pay ranges with a
January 1st, 2015 effective date.
Council directed that this be deferred until the Budget meeting on February 18,
2015.
2) Development Charges Study – Next Steps
Acting CAO Holly Morrison presented her report to Council. In her report she
said that after the presentation made by the consultant, Council directed that
the Fire Master Plan and the Recreation Master Plan studies be removed
from the calculations. The other adjustment was to use actual expenditures
for the Roads Needs and Development Charges studies, rather than
previously estimated costs.
The consultant would like confirmation that the growth related share of each
component calculation is acceptable (currently the calculations are based on
the County and Township Official Plan showing a 24% in population over the
next twenty years - 50 new dwellings on average per year).
Under the Biodigester section, only the average replacement cost was
factored into the analysis. The Development Charge (if approved) is
intended to provide the basis for the addition of more storage.
Prior to a revised costing being presented to Council, the consultant is looking
for confirmation that Council accepts the estimated growth and that under the
Biodigester, the growth component should be added.
Council directed the Acting CAO to direct the consultant to use the calculations
as presented in his report and further to include the cost of additional storage at
the Biodigester.

3) Water Consumption Financial Relief Request for Grey Condo Corp.
In the spring of 2014, it was determined that there was a leakage/over usage
issue at this location. However, there are multiple meters at this location, and
therefore required investigation of which property and usage was causing the
large volume of water being used. A system to prevent flooding was
established by the engineers. The system started up due to a breaker tripped
in the pump's electrical panel and did not correct itself when the power was
restored and the water continued to flow. The Property Management agent
appeared before the Finance Committee in September 2014.
A meeting was held in January 2015 with representatives from the Township;
the Property Management agent and the Builder. Direction was given to staff
to provide a report to Council with the financial difference in the over usage
rates. In this proposal, costs have been recovered.
During the last year since the new water meters were installed, the Township
now has the ability to identify leaks over a p e r i o d of 96 days and breakdown
the usage into time increments. Staff was directed to draft a policy and
procedure regarding water usage and billing overages. However, due to time
restraints and staffing levels, this has not been submitted to Council for review.
Several ratepayers have requested financial relief from above average billings.
Staff has investigated and monitored these requests, however, minimal
adjustments have been made.
Council directed the Acting CAO to bring forward a motion for the next Council
meeting on February 18, 2015.
Building and Planning Department
1) Zoning Applications B5/14, B6/14, B7/14 and B8/14 - David McNabb, Jim
MacKinnon and Michael Smart (Francis Lake)
Planner Clinton Stredwick gave an update to Council regarding the proposed
applications.
There were a number of concerns raised by agencies and residents at the Public
Meeting and therefore the applications were deferred.
He noted that this is not another public meeting, but rather an update for Council.
A courtesy letter was sent out to anyone that attended the public meeting and
made comments or sent in correspondence. It is up to Council to decide whether
there will be another Public Meeting.
Mr. Stredwick also noted that there will be a Development Agreement prepared
for these properties.
3|Page
Ron Davidson, Planner for the Applicants, presented further information to
Council in regards to the above noted Consent applications.
He noted that there are 18 existing lots of records. There are no lots being
severed or a plan of subdivision being created.. There are a couple of lot
additions to change the lot configuration. The other application (McNabb) will
also be added to the existing roads.
The Zoning By-law states that you can only have a building permit if the property
fronts onto an open and maintained road. Therefore a Zoning By-law
Amendment is necessary.
He told Council that several studies had been completed and the Grey Sauble
Conservation Authority has now signed off on the Stormwater Management Plan.
Mr. Davidson then addressed every concern that was brought up at the Public
meeting or any letters that were submitted and discussed them.
Council thanked Mr. Davidson for his presentation.
Council directed the Planner to prepare his report and to send out notices to the
neighbours for the night that the report will be presented. The Zoning By-law
Amendment will be brought forward at a future Council meeting.
Public comments can still be sent to the Planner.
Marie Simpson noted that she is representing the Friends of the Heritage Hills.
She had an update regarding the hills. She noted that at the All Candidates
Meeting in the fall, all the councillors were asked if it cost $25,000 to open the
hills, would they vote yes. She said that they all said yes.
She told Council that she has met with Harold Sutherland regarding the costs to
open the hills. She feels the hills can be reopened with $25,000, and would like it
done this year.
Joanne Veerman asked about a new build and the costs of upgrading the road at
Francis Lake. She felt that with 17 new builds the road will need more
maintenance. She also stated that people can leave their boats at the dock at
this present time.
She would like another public meeting regarding these proposals.

By-laws:
None.
Unfinished Business:
1) Heritage Hills Options
The Mayor noted that Council is concerned about the information that has been
given to them. Marie Simpson has provided information regarding the costs to
reopen the hills.
4|Page
Mr. Sutherland is agreeing to the $25,000, but only if staff, solicitor and insurance
agree to that.
Council hired a firm to complete a road evaluation.
Council has decided to come to a decision regarding the hills prior to budget.
Transportation Chair Tom Wiley noted that at the January 19th Transportation
meeting, he has reviewed all the documents and emails and has come up with
three options for the hills.
1. Define a minimum construction standard that will enable the Municipality to
determine an estimate of construction and this will cost approximately
$80,000.
2. Stop up and close the Heritage Hills permanently to public vehicle traffic.
3. Designate the Heritage Hills as multi-use trails and include them as part of the
Georgian Bluffs multi-use trail system.
The Minimum Guideline explained in the Inventory Manual for Municipal Roads
specifies that the minimum tolerable width for roads that are Class 100 (AADT
less than 50 vehicles per day) is 5 metres, plus 0.5 metres shoulders. A single
lane option is proposed with one 4 metres wide lane. This is a Class D estimate,
for a one-way uphill road only.
Currently both of the hills are identified as “No Maintenance”. If Council
upgraded the level of maintenance to “No Winter Maintenance”, then dedicated
funds to improve the existing approach road would be required for summer use.
The estimate does not include rock removal or special methods of construction to
address stability, underground water control, engineering or contingency.
Staff noted that it will cost $80,000 to upgrade the “W” hill. There are additional
costs ($25,000) for culverts or underground collection systems, $10,000 for
surface treatment costs and $5,000 extra for gravel long term annual
maintenance.
Director of Operations Peter Paquette noted that the Township does not have
small enough equipment to maintain these narrow roads.
The approach roads are unsafe, unmaintained and would need additional funds
to be upgraded to “No Winter Maintenance”.
Concession 20 has an estimate of $361,300 to upgrade. The road is on rock and
cannot be modified to one lane to reduce construction costs. Due to the extreme
grade, it wold need geometric and alignment corrections to make it safe.
It would also need a hard surface of either hot mix asphalt or concrete, as well as
solid beam guard rails. An Environmental Assessment would also be required.
The estimate does not include or consider the cost to alter the grade or geometry
of the road. It does not include any rock removal or additional excavation or tree
removal. This option would increase the risk of accident and potential accident
claims.
5|Page
The Operations Director noted that the submission from Harold Sutherland does
not address the pre-existing conditions.
Council voted on each option and supported Option three.
Council directed staff to designate the Heritage Hills as multi-use trails and
include them as part of the Georgian Bluffs multi-use trail system.
2) GSCA Budget Update
Councillor Thompson gave an update on the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority
Budget.
Council directed staff to prepare a motion (to be sent to all affected
municipalities) regarding the GSCA requesting them to complete their budget
based on revenue neutral and excluding phased in assessment growth.

The public meeting will take place at a Township Council or Committee meeting. A designated
member of Council (often the Mayor) will act as the moderator or chair for the meeting. The
moderator will keep the meeting in order and allow the applicant (and their development team), the
public, and members of Council to speak and ask questions.
No decisions are made at this meeting. It is simply an opportunity to learn and provide feedback.
I can’t attend the Public Meeting, can I still participate?
Yes you can still participate. You can learn more about the proposed development by contacting the
County or Township offices, or by reading the materials on the County website at the below link. You
may also choose to submit comments via letter or email, after taking the time to learn about the
proposed development. All of the contact information for both the Township and County has been
provided below:

What are the changes being made through the applications?
This development requires three applications, a County Official Plan Amendment, a Township Official
Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment. In order for the development to move forward,
approvals are needed on all three of these applications. The County makes the decision on the
Official Plan Amendments and the Township makes the decision on the Zoning By-law Amendment.
The proposed County Official Plan Amendment would change the subject lands from the ‘Space
Extensive Commercial’ designation to the ‘Space Extensive Commercial with Exceptions’
designation. The proposed Township Official Plan Amendment would change the subject lands from
the ‘Sunset Strip Policy Area’ designation to the ‘Sunset Strip Policy Area with Exceptions’
designation. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would implement the Official Plan
Amendments and re-zone the subject lands from the ‘C4’ (Space Extensive Commercial) and ‘EP’
(Environmental Protection) zones to ‘C4-XX’ (Space Extensive Commercial with Exceptions) and ‘EP’
(Environmental Protection) zones. The collective effect of the amendments would be to provide relief
from setback requirements and allow for additional commercial uses on the subject lands.
The applications have been deemed complete, under the Planning Act, which means that it is now
time to receive public feedback on the proposals. In deeming the applications complete, the County
and the Township have enough information to seek public input on the development. No decisions
have been made on the applications, and no decisions will be made until the public process has been
completed.
Why this meeting is being held and what are your rights?
Within Ontario the planning and development process is an open and transparent process, where
opinions from all individuals and groups are welcomed. By law a municipality must hold a public
meeting, and this meeting is just one of your chances to learn about the development proposal and
offer your opinions. Under the legislation governing this development, which is sections 22 and 34 of
the Planning Act, you have the following rights:
1. Any persons may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either
in support of or in opposition to the proposed Official Plan Amendments or Zoning By-law
Amendment.
2. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written
submissions to the Township of Georgian Bluffs before the Zoning By-law Amendment is
approved or to the County of Grey before the Official Plan Amendments are approved, the
person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decisions of the Township of Georgian Bluffs
or the County of Grey to the Ontario Municipal Board.
3. If a person or public body does not make oral submission at a public meeting, or make written
submissions to the Township of Georgian Bluffs before the Zoning By-law Amendment is
approved or to the County of Grey before the Official Plan Amendments are approved, the
person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the
Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to
do so.
4. If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Township of Georgian Bluffs in respect to the
approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment, or the County of Grey in respect to the adoption of
the Official Plan Amendments, you must make a written request to the Township or the
County, at the addresses noted on the previous page. Please note file numbers GBOPA-03-15
and Z-02-15 when directing correspondence to the Township. The County Official Plan
Amendment file number is 42-03-540-OPA-126.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact County or Township staff, who would be
happy to answer any questions on the matter.

ATTENTION: Mayor and Members of Council
Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
The Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee of the Town of South Bruce
Peninsula (SBPPRRC) has been in existence for over ten (10) years in this community.
The Committee is comprised of members from South Bruce Peninsula and Georgian
Bluffs as well as representatives from Grey Bruce Health Services, the Sauble Family
Health Team, Southwest Local Health Integration Network and Municipal Council.
Members of the committee are passionate about the recruitment and retention efforts in
our community with some members sitting on the committee since its inception.
Our Committee is proud to be one of the most successful recruitment teams in Grey and
Bruce Counties. The Committee prides itself on being able to attract and retain
physicians by highlighting the lifestyle within our area versus attracting them with
promises of corporately backed monetary bonuses.
Our team of physicians serves South Bruce Peninsula’s permanent population of 8,500
as well as an estimated 800 residents of Cape Croker and an additional 2,500 from
Georgian Bluffs, not to mention the summer influx to upwards of 40,000 people.
Are you aware that many of the South Bruce Peninsula physicians are residents of the
Township of Georgian Bluffs?
Due to the geographic proximity, residents of the Township of Georgian Bluffs rely upon
healthcare and physician services located in South Bruce Peninsula. During the Grey
Bruce Health Services (GBHS) 2013-2014 fiscal year, there were over 2,000 Wiarton
Site ER visits by Township of Georgian Bay residents. There were over 50 separate
Wiarton Site in-patient admissions by Township of Georgian Bluffs residents,
accounting for the 396 total in-patient days. These numbers exclude Township of
Georgian Bluffs residents who have a N0H 2T0 postal code, which would include those
who live closest to South Bruce Peninsula and, potentially, are even more frequent
users of the GBHS, Wiarton Site Hospital.
Because of attrition, the Committee’s work is never done. A priority for the Committee
is to attract a full time physician to the Sauble Family Health Team to complement the
current part time physician and other medical practitioners at this facility while
maintaining the complement at the Wiarton Site Hospital.
The Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee of South Bruce Peninsula
respectfully requests the Council of the Township of Georgian Bluffs to consider an
annual financial commitment to physician recruitment efforts which will benefit both
South Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bluffs.
The SBPPRRC has come before your Council before (in 2009) requesting financial
support for recruitment efforts, unfortunately, the verbal commitment made at that time
was never followed through upon. In fact, we understand that evidence of that verbal
commitment was never discussed during the subsequent budget deliberations. It
appears to have fallen through the cracks somehow.
The Committee feels that this request aligns with the recreation and culture actionables
contained within the Georgian Bluffs Strategic Plan:
“Identify strategies in partnership with municipalities and other recreation
service providers that promote healthy lifestyle and an active community.”
The Committee proposes the following commitment:
$7,500.00/year for 4 years
Total commitment: $30,000.00 (2015-2018)
We encourage you to ask questions as you feel appropriate. We are most anxious for
dialogue that will lead to a successful partnership between neighbouring municipalities.
Your careful consideration and decision would be welcomed during the 2015 budget
deliberations including a letter outlining the outcome of this request being delivered to
the addresses shown below. Thank you.
Yours truly,
Chair and Members of SBPPRRC
