Report to Committee of the Whole
From: Mike Hoogstra, Manager of Procurement & Risk
Ashley Temple, Administrator (Terrace Lodge)
Terri Benwell, Administrator (Bobier Villa and Elgin Manor)
Date: January 13, 2026
Subject: HSS 26-01 Physiotherapy Services at Elgin County Homes — Contract Award
Recommendation(s):
THAT the contract for Physiotherapy Services at Elgin County Homes be awarded to
Lifemark Health Group for a three-year term; and,
THAT staff be authorized to extend the contract for an additional two-year term in
accordance with section 7.6 of the Procurement Policy, subject to satisfactory
performance during the initial three-year contract term; and,
THAT the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to sign the contract.
Introduction:
This report provides details on the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Physiotherapy
Services at the County's three (3) Long -Term Care Homes (LTCH's) and seeks
Council's approval to award the contract.
Background and Discussion:
The Fixing Long -Term Care Act (FLTCA), 2021 and Ontario Regulation 246/22 requires
that every LTCH arranges for on -site physiotherapy services for residents on an
individualized and/or a group setting basis, by qualified therapists.
The current contract for Physiotherapy Services is expiring, and a new RFP was
recently issued. The RFP document is attached to this report as Attachment 1.
Information that was advertised and posted on the County's Bid Portal page
«ii,in,t I[)qd �i�� dti�u�N���p � e�;�M. including RFP dates, proposals submitted and a
complete plan takers list is attached to this report as Attachment 2.
Page 5of71
The Evaluation Committee (refer to Attachment 3) scored each proposal based on the
following criteria:
i) Understanding of Project Requirements / Services
ii) Company Background and Qualifications
iii) Experience of Firm
iv) Number of Hours residents would receive per week of Physiotherapist, PTA,
Occupational Therapist, etc.
v) Client References
Once the proposal evaluations were completed, the evaluation committee decided that
the two highest scoring Proponents would be invited to provide a presentation.
Presentations were conducted virtually on December 9, 2025. The evaluation committee
met after the presentations to review the final scores and confirm the decision.
The firm selected by the evaluation committee is Lifemark Heath Group. The proposal
submitted by Lifemark Health Group was the highest scoring, qualified proposal and
thus represented the best complete quality submission. All Proponents that submitted a
proposal to the County will be advised of the contract award and will be offered a
debriefing of their individual proposal submission.
Financial Implications:
There is no cost to the County for this service as it is completely funded by the Ministry
of Long -Term Care (MOLTC). Each Home will receive a set number of hours each
week for the services of a Physiotherapist, Physiotherapist Assistant and Occupational
Therapist.
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
The award of the physiotherapy services service contract aligns with the strategic plan
priority "Service Excellence and Efficiency". Staff look forward to continuing to enhance
physiotherapy services through collaboration with the interdisciplinary team to ensure
consistency in care and resident participation in programs.
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
None
Communication Requirements:
None
Conclusion:
Registered Physiotherapists, Physiotherapy Assistants and Occupational Therapists to
oversee therapy services for LTCH's is a requirement under the FLTCA, 2021 and
Ontario Regulation 246/22, and a necessity for the provision of resident centered care.
Page 6of71
As detailed above, the Evaluation Committee completed an evaluation and selection
process in accordance with Request for Proposal No. 2025-P38 and subsequently the
proposal submission from Lifemark Health Group was deemed the successful qualified
proponent and is recommended for award.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted

Report to County Council
From: Katherine Thompson, Manager of Administrative Services/Deputy Clerk
Date: January 13, 2026
Subject: ADM 26-03 Approval of Fees and Charges 2026
Recommendation(s):
THAT the changes to fees and charges identified in "Schedule A" of the report titled
"ADM 26-03 Approval of Fees and Charges 2026" be approved and imposed to
commence on January 27, 2026; and,
THAT the corresponding By-law be considered for approval by Council.
Introduction:
The County of Elgin Executive Leadership Team and County staff annually review the
fees and charges levied for administrative activities within each department to reflect
cost recovery for materials, activities, and services. The attached by-law "Schedule A"
reflects changes to fees and charges as recommended by the Management Team.
Background and Discussion:
Relevant Legislation:
• Subsection 5(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25, as amended,
provides that a municipal power shall be exercised by by-law; and
• Section 9 of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality has the
capacity, rights, powers and privileges of a natural person for the purpose of
exercising its authority under this or any other Act; and
• Section 10(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may provide
any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for the
public; and
• Section 10(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may pass
by-laws respecting: in paragraph 7, Services and things that the municipality is
authorized to provide under subsection (1); and
• Section 391(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that a municipality may
impose fees or charges on persons: (a) for services and activities provided or
done by or on behalf of it; (b) for costs payable by it for services and activities
Page 39 of 71
provided or done by or on behalf of any other municipality or local board; and (c)
for the use of its property including property under its control; and
• Section 69 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, provides that
a council of a municipality may by by-law, establish a tariff or fees for the
processing of applications made in respect to planning matters.
Proposed Changes:
Community and Cultural Services
The Museum has added a room rental fee of $25.00, consistent with the fee that library
branches charge for room rentals.
The Museum has also pro -rated fees for programming so that it can charge less if a
program is only an hour or two. The fee for a full day remains at $9.00/participant.
Fines were removed as part of a Fine Free Program that was phased in over several
years ending in 2024. This section of the By-law will be removed.
Planning
In November of 2024, Council approved increases to Planning fees that would be
implemented as a three-year phased in approach. These increases are to be
implemented annually to coincide with the adoption of an updated Fees and Charges
By-law. The 2026 year represents year -two of the phase -in.
Planning has also added a Request to Register (Subdivision/Condominium) fee to
recover the costs associated with the assembly, review and time required to ensure all
conditions of approval have been finalized.
Homes and Senior Services
Updated Meals on Wheels contracts with the VON and West Elgin Community Health
Centre have increased the prices of single portion meals from $8.00 to $9.00 and
double portions from $4.00 to $4.50.
Financial Implications:
Fees and charges are imposed through the Fees and Charges By-law are on a cost
recovery basis.
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
Although the subject of this report does not directly relate to advancing a specific priority
in Council's Strategic Plan and relates more to general operations of the corporation, it
does directly relate to ensuring responsible and sustainable financial management for
the County.
Page 40 of 71
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
None.
Communication Requirements:
A copy of the approved by-law will be posted on the County of Elgin website and
circulated to all departments.
Conclusion:
This report recommends that the increases to fees and charges requested by
departments be implemented, and that the County's Fees and Charges By-law be
amended to reflect cost recovery.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted Approved for Submission

Report to Committee of the Whole
From: Peter Dutchak, Director of Engineering Services
Date: January 13, 2026
Subject: ENG 26-01 Administration Building Exterior Renovation Project — Energy
Savings Opportunity
Recommendation(s):
THAT the Administration Building Exterior Renovation project (2660-09) scope be
expanded to include the installation of insulation at a total cost of $350,000 plus HST;
and
THAT the anticipated project surplus of $1,060,364.79 be transferred to the Capital
Project Reserve in accordance with the County's Reserve Policy.
Introduction:
At their February 25, 2025 meeting, County Council directed staff to proceed with the
Administration Building Exterior Renovation project that included over -cladding the
exterior brick with composite aluminum panels.
At the July 8 meeting, County Council awarded the Administration Building Cladding,
Window and Door Replacement project to Alpeza General Contracting Inc.
This report seeks Council's approval to enhance the project scope to include insulation
installed behind the aluminium composite panels to achieve energy efficiency and
savings over time.
Backaround and Discussion:
Fishburn Sheridan, the project engineer, was requested to analyze the option of
including mineral wool insultation between the air barrier and the aluminium composite
panels (ACP) within the wall system (attached). The resulting thermal retrofit study
concluded that both a 38mm and 76mm thick insulation, installed behind the ACPs
would yield annual cost savings for heating and cooling.
The project engineer has concluded that the 76mm thick mineral wool option provides a
superior thermal performance with a 75% reduction in wall heat flow, generating
approximately $19,080 in annual energy savings. The cost to install the insulation is
$350,000 plus HST as provided by the contractor and delivers a simple `return on
investment' payback period of 18 years 4 months. The service life of the exterior
Page 50 of 71
renovation cladding and windows is expected to have a 40-year lifecycle, and therefore,
staff recommends incorporating the 76mm mineral wool insulation in the project as a
value investment.
It is hoped that the thermal energy savings realized will translate into other tangible
benefits as well, such as reducing heat pump cycles and reduced operational costs.
Financial Imalications:
The table below identifies awarded and anticipated project costs and has included the
cost of including the recommended insulation, resulting in an anticipated project surplus
of approximately $1.06M.

Staff has applied for partial funding of this project under FCM's — Green Municipal Fund
- GHG Impact Retrofit Capital Project grant program and will update Council should the
County be successful.
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
This initiative supports the responsible maintenance and management of County assets
as laid out in the Asset Management Plan. This work reflects the County's ongoing
commitment to maintaining safe, functional, and efficient facilities and infrastructure.
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
None.
Communication Requirements:
None.
Conclusion:
The Administration Building Renovation project has begun and there is an opportunity to
enhance the project scope to include 76mm thick mineral wool insulation, installed
behind the aluminum composite panels. Staff requested the project engineer to
complete a thermal retrofit feasibility study to determine the effectiveness of insulation
options and calculate a return on investment period. The resulting study determined that
Page 51 of 71
installing 76mm thick insulation would yield an annual energy savings of $19,080 with a
return on investment of 18 years, 4 months. Considering the lifecycle of the project
improvements, adding insulation at this time is recommended.

Summary of Thermal Retrofit Feasibility Study
FSA Project #: 24196DL
It was requested by Elgin County for FSA to analyze the option of including 1.5" (38 mm) of mineral wool
insulation or 3.0" (76 mm) of mineral wool insulation between the air barrier and the aluminum composite panel
(ACP) within the wall system of 450 Sunset Drive, St Thomas, Ontario.
The objective of the analysis is to estimate the annual energy savings for the heating and cooling seasons and
a simple ROI (payback) for each option comparing with the base case wall assembly.
Below is an outline of the input data used in the analyses:

• Option B — 3.0" Mineral Wool has an additional annual energy savings of $4,461.
• Incremental Payback is 7 years 8 months.
Conclusion and Recommendation
Between the two options, FSA recommends proceeding with Option B — 3.0" Mineral Wool Insulation. While
Option B requires a higher initial investment ($350,000 vs. $315,000 for Option A), it is the more financially
prudent choice for maximizing long-term asset value.
Option B's superior thermal performance achieves a 74.7% reduction in wall heat flow, generating
approximately $19,080 in annual energy savings. The incremental investment of $35,000 between the two
options is recovered in 7 years 8 months through additional savings, making Option B the fastest path to net
profitability. Overall, Option B delivers a simple (ROI) payback period of 18 years 4 months, which is 3 years 2
months shorter than Option A, while also improving long-term operational cost efficiency.

Report to Committee of the Whole
From: Peter Dutchak, Director of Engineering Services
Date: January 13, 2026
Subject: ENG 26-02 Reduced Speed Zones
Recommendation(s):
THAT revisions to speed zones as recommended in the report titled "ENG 26-02
Reduced Speed Zones" be approved; and
THAT these revisions and previous amendments to By-law 24-19 Being a By-law to
Authorize Speed Limits be incorporated into a new consolidated by-law and hereby
adopted.
Introduction:
A number of revisions are recommended to the reduced speed zone By -Law to address
concerns received from residents, to conform to the guidelines of the Transportation
Association of Canada (TAC) and to correspond with settlement boundary limits.
Backaround and Discussion:
Paynes Milles (Talbot Line)
Talbot Line (CR 3) through the settlement of Paynes Mills, within the Township of
Southwold, has been reviewed after requests from local residents to reduce the posted
speed limit were received. The number of existing entrances, lack of cycling facility and
roadway classification contributed to this area qualifying for a reduced speed limit of
60km/h when applying Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Guidelines for
establishing posted speed limits.
The recommended 60km/h zone will be implemented: from 500m Northeast of John
Wise Line to 50m Northeast of Lyle Road, being a total length of 1.6km and coinciding
with the settlement area in the County Official Plan. A map showing this new reduced
speed zone is attached.
Sunset Road
The area along Sunset Road, south of East Road was reviewed after receiving a
request at the County Council meeting on December 11t". This area has been reviewed
Page 55 of 71
following TAC guidelines and qualifies for a reduced speed limit of 70km/h when
classifying this as an urban area, and acknowledging this section of road is within the
Village of Port Stanley's settlement area.
The recommended reduced speed zone along Sunset Road (CR4) will be from the
existing 50km/h limit (580m north of Warren Street) northerly to 90m north of East Road
for a total distance of 1.33km.
Port Talbot Hill (Fingal Line)
In 2025, a section of Fingal Line (CR 16) was reconstructed at Talbot Creek in the
Municipality of Dutton Dunwich. It was not cost effective to improve the road geometry
to support a 100 km/h design speed and therefore a regulatory speed reduction is
recommended to ensure adequate safe stopping distance sightlines are available and to
remain compliant with TAC's guidance.
The recommended 70km/h reduced speed zone is on Fingal Line (CR16), beginning
8.2km east of Currie Road to 9.7km east of Currie Road for a total distance of 1.5km. A
map depicting this reduced speed zone is attached.
Village of Fingal
The Village of Fingal is being reconstructed in partnership with the Township of
Southwold. New gateway features will define the settlement boundaries and convey to
motorists they are entering an urban area. To support this and have reduced speed
limits extend to village boundaries, existing reduced speed zones require adjustment.
It is recommended that a reduced 50km/h speed zones be established to coincide with
the village limits and as follows: Fingal Line (CR16) from 700m southwest of Union
Road to 450m northeast of Union Road and Union Road (CR20) from 850m northwest
of Fingal Line to 600m southeast of Fingal Line. A map depicting this reduced speed
zone is attached.
Hamlet of Avon
Concerns have been received from residents of the Hamlet of Avon regarding speeding
vehicles. Staff recommends extending the reduced speed zone southerly along Putnam
Road to encompass existing development and to coincide with the hamlet's boundary
limits.
It is recommended that the existing 50km/h reduced speed zone along Putnam Road
(CR 47) be established from Avon Drive southerly for 550m and as illustrated on the
attached map.
Union Road
Union Road (CR 20) currently transitions from 80km/h to 40km/h just north of Warren
Street (CR 21). In order to provide a gradual speed transition as recommended by TAC,
Page 56 of 71
a 500m long, 60km/h reduced speed zone north of Warren Street (CR 21) is
recommended. A map illustrating the new 60km/h zone is attached for reference.
Financial Implications:
The cost of road signage is contained within the Engineering Services operating budget
Advancement of the Strategic Plan:
The recommendations support a consistent implementation of reduced speed zones
that adhere to engineering guidelines and support safe movement of vehicles through
settlement areas.
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
The installation of the signage will be requested to be completed by the local LMP and
at the County's cost.
Communication Requirements:
Once implemented, the OPP will be notified of these changes.
Conclusion:
A number of revisions are recommended to the reduced speed zone By -Law to address
concerns received from residents, to conform to the guidelines of the Transportation
Association of Canada (TAC) and to correspond with settlement boundary limits.
A new By -Law has been created to include these changes as well as incorporating
previous Council approved amendments.
