THOMAS HU I4J 004 ./ Elgin parents of children aged 0 to 6 now have access to age-appropriate information about their child's health, through a new program called "Let's Grow". These mailed out packages include information on parenting, speech and language, health, safety and resources in the community. To date, about 400 Elgin families have signed up for "Let's Grow". ./ To reduce the number of visits at the StThomas-Elgin General Hospital's emergency department, we worked with hospital staff on a summer advertising campaign called "Think First, Be Safe!". ./ With the help of local police and other community partners, we checked 158 infant and child car seats. Most of the car seats were improperly installed. Only about one-third had the seat tethered properly. Given these results, a tether strap campaign was launched to educate parents about the importance of using a tether strap system and to make it easier to get one installed at participating dealerships. ./ All Elgin parents of newborns receive a phone call within 48 hours after discharge from the hospital. They are offered a home visit to discuss concerns, receive breastfeeding support and/or have the infant checked. Now almost half of the parents contacted choose to have a home visit as compared to about one-quarter in 1999, resulting in about a 30% increase in family home visits in 2000. Health Protection ./ On July 25th, the Minister of Health and Long Term Care announced the expansion of the publicly funded influenza immunization program to ensure that all people in Ontario are eligible for a vaccination shot every year. In St.Thomas and Elgin County, approximately 60,000 additional residents are now eligible to receive the vaccine. Vaccine administered in September and October has been targeted to those individuals at high risk of complications from influenza disease. Clinics for the general public will start in November. ./ In response to an outbreak of West Nile Virus Encephalitis in New York City area in the summer of 1999 a number of surveillance initiatives were implemented in Ontario this summer. These initiatives included mosquito, sentinel chicken, dead bird, and active sentinel hospital based human encephalitis surveillance. No evidence of WNV was detected in Elgin County although an infected dead bird was found in Windsor and near the border of Niagara Falls. It is anticipated that West Nile Virus will be present in the mosquito and bird population in Ontario next spring and summer. Further contingency planning for this event will be addressed over the winter months. 120100 FRI 11:53 FAX 519 633 O~6a ELG IN 51. 1<1.0\{A5 <1.lJ ~ ,n_tigallon of the ",,,,,,,,,'naled wale' ""e'" at the St.1h""''' ps,'hlalO' ",os,.a' heS been OOgo,ng """ June 14, 20Q{). . .", WaW Nl'I,sortes aIIeol ,eslden", "",,, ""en", studen" and '.'''' 0' ",e St1h""''' p,,,,,'a"" ",os,,,,,, Ea'" Lee""ng cen"e, Child and fa""~ c,"nsel,ng Sa~-' St'_as OpP, end "'e EI9'" ",on~ "" ",'n",mtIon Bu,,"ng.

VISUAL WARNING INDICTOR POLICY Discussion (Continued) The first location for this visual warning system will be at the north and south approaches at the intersection of Elm Line and Centennial Road in the Municipality of Central Elgin. This location has been notorious over the years for vehicles running through the stop sign during foggy conditions and all other warning efforts have proven to be ineffective. Presently this intersection has 120 cm stop ahead and 120-cm stop signs with a flashing beacon mounted on the stop sign. Only visual warning indicators will be installed on Centennial Road and no additional sound will be generated in this semi-urban area. Now that this new audible! visual warning indictor system has been tested to the satisfaction of the Engineering Services Department and should be used in all future installations. Existing audible warning indictor systems using the rolled-in-place method are still effective, although noisier than the new system. Although the old system was replaced with the new quieter system on Fairview Avenue this location was a test case to determine the performance and as well as comparing the new system directly with the old system that was present at this same location. This old system replacement should not be considered a precedent to retro fit all existing audible warning indicators systems with the new milled in place system, however, if a system is not working effectively the new system can be installed. To mill and paint the new system is approximately $1,500.00. To remove an existing system and install the new system costs approximately $4,500.00. Therefore, only existing systems that are not performing well should be replaced with the new audible! visual warning indictor system. There are 55 audible warning indictors existing on Elgin County Roads. Conclusion The newly designed audible! visual warning indictors system has been installed and working effectively at the intersection of Fairview Road and Sparta Line. Other installations are at the intersection of Elm Line and Centennial Road for the visual warning indictors and at the intersection of Springwater Road and Ron McNeil Line for the audible! visual warning indictors have been scheduled. It costs approximately $1,500.00 to install the new system and an additional $3,000.00 to remove the old type, therefore, existing systems should not be replaced if they are still audible. ... 3 f Page 3.

Veger DATE: SUBJECT: september 20, 2000 Capital Budaet - 2001 Introduction/DiscUssion: The County has traditionally included capital projects as separate line items or as a part of operations for the budget presentation. There is some pressure from the Province to move to a separate budget process for capital proiects. SoftWare and a handbook have been made available through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing that outlines the process. The 2001 budget would be a fitting time to introduce our first capital budget. There are a number of issues that Council should address outlined in this report as proposed policies. These policies give staff the parameters for preparing annual Capital budgets. As always, policies are living documents that should be reviewed and updated as our needs change. council may determine, at any time, to override a policy either in the short term or as a permanent change. PolicY: THAT, for budgeting purposes, the minimum dollar amount for a project to be included in the capital Budget be $10,000. council will receive regular progress reports through the life of a project. for ease of administration smaller dollar itemS, Le. less than $10,000, would continue to be included in operating budgets. There is some flexibility here to include or exclude proiects from the Capital Budget as determined by Council. THAT annual contributions to Capital increase year over year by an amount equal to the percentage increase in assessment. This policy provides council and senior staff with the starting point for planning the Capital Budget. It alsO provides staff with a basis to extrapolate the dollars available for future projects. council may wish to contribute to three separate capital reserves: . Specific projects . Emergency projects - contingency . Unallocated Capital _ setting aside budget dollars for future projects Un allocated Capital and contingency could also be one reserve. THAT, in order to minimize financing costs, council strives for a pay_as-you-go policY for capital projects. There are mixed viewS on which type of financing is superior, long-term debt financing or pay-as-YOU-go financing. Some benefits of a pay-as-you-go policY are: .~ ~ 05110100 capital .

For the last few years, staff has recommended the transfer of surpluses to specific reserves. Automatically transferring the surplus smoothes the next year's budget process while setting aside dollars for future projects. THAT the Capital Budget be approved as early in the budgeting cycle as possible. The Capital Budget can be separated from the operating budget cycle and approved in advance of the operating budget if it is prepared within financial guidelines that are acceptable and have received prior approval of Council. Having this budget approved very early gives the County the advantage of being ready to tender projects early in the construction season, thereby achieving optimal tender prices. Conclusion: The 2001 capital budgeting process will be new to Council and staff. However, Council will benefit from an abbreviated operating budget that excludes capital projects and an in-depth capital budget that looks five to ten years into the future. Recommendation: THAT Council approve the recommended capital budget policies as set out in this report; and, THAT staff be directed to prepare a separate capital budget for the 2001 budget year.

Ownership Costs: These are fu:ed costs like insurance, licence fees, registration fees, finance costs and depreciation. Fixed costs may differ from vehicle to vehicle and place to place, but they change little with the amount and type of driving.

To: Elgin County Council From: Karen Dunn, Emergency Measures Co-ordinator September 26th, 2000 Date: Re: London Central Ambulance Communication Centre Pilot Project (Dispatch) INTRODUCTION: The ambulance service has been downloaded to Elgin County minus a means to control and/or monitor it. In the interest of maintaining an accessible ambulance system and ensuring its seamlessness across jurisdictional boundaries, the Ministry retained the system financing and operational responsibility for the dispatch function. This decision, by the Ministry, further exacerbates the complex patterns of accountability and responsibility between the Ministry of Health, the County, and medical authorities. The dispatch communications centre is the 'brain' of land ambulance. Since the dispatch function controls all decisions on operations, it is a major determinant of costs and performances. Information systems necessary for performance monitoring are also directly tied to this function. Having responsibility for ambulance services without having control over the dispatch function is much like owning a store but having no control over the employees, their workload, or how they treat the customers. In other words, we are currently responsible for ambulance but have no direct control on how the service is deployed. Due to confidentiality concerns, to date the Counties have not been able to obtain up-to- date information pertinent to the ambulance service which is vital to effectively operate and monitor our services. Similarly, requests for local policies and responsiveness to the changing needs of our municipalities could be improved if municipalities controlled dispatch. Members of the South-western Ontario Land Ambulance Technical Advisory Committee who are under the jurisdiction of the current London Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC) have recently been meeting to discuss the current dispatch operation. 33 2 Report to County council Land Ambulance i ec\\nica\ AdViSO committee Th. ..,en OOUnll'" ,"""",d 'n "", ",o;e" ,n>' Elg,n, ",,,Ie,ex, Huron, G<ey, B"'''', Perth, and OJdord.

Governance: The Municipalities propose a jointly governed project with a Board of Directors composed of elected representatives from each municipality and a Technical Advisory Committee composed of one staff representative from each municipality and one representative of the base hospitals served by the dispatch centre. The Board of Directors will select one municipality to be the lead municipality to provide administrative support within the framework of policies adopted by the Committee. All municipalities currently being served by the London Ambulance Communications Centre will continue to be served by the communications centre. All of the municipalities served by the centre will be entitled to have representation on the Board of Directors and Technical Advisory Committee. Those municipalities that do not wish to have the responsibility of running the centre will continue to have their ambulances dispatched by the centre in accordance with the Ambulance Act and local policies with no reduction from the existing service. Subject to agreement with the Ministry of Health and the Board of Directors, municipalities not currently dispatched by the centre may be allowed to join the Board at their request. Monitoring: The Municipalities will provide the Province with a detailed calendar year end report on all aspects of the operations of the CACC including: · Performance standards versus actual standards achieved, · All time intervals of the call for help (call receipt, dispatch, arrival at scene, etc.) · Communication Centre staff productive/non-productive time compared to the current baseline, . Responses to all complaints, · Measurements of training and skill retention of dispatchers and call takers based on a quality assurance/improvement program. Funding: A workplan identifying the schedule, components, human resource issues and estimated budget will be negotiated with the province following approval in principle of the project. Since the Province is currently paying 100% of the costs of dispatch it is expected that this will continue. The worst case scenario would be an approximate cost of $2.00 per capita per year for the total cost of dispatch, if all Municipalities participate. 35 4 RepO(t. to county Council. .

THOMAS, ON N5R 5V1 ATTENTION: Clayton Watters, P.Eng. County Engineer 'C~ ~~rn"\D J(=-//:0.,-:.~ RE: ELGIN COUNTY BUILDING Servicinl!' This foHows from our meeting of October 3, 2000 with yourselfand rcpresentatives of Central-Elgin regarding the installation of new water and sanitary services to service the County Building. At thc meeting, Cumming Cockburn Limited was requested to: 1. Provide updated cost estimates for works identified in our September 1996 report consisting of the installation of a new watermain on Sunset Drive and a new sanitary sewage pumping station and forcemain to service the County Building; 2. Contact the City of81. Thomas to determine if there are any significant operating constraints that would be imposed on a pumping station to service the area (ie. The need to store sewage and pump during off peak hours); 3. Undertake a preliminary survey of existing developments in the area to determine ifthere is a broader interest in having municipal water and sanitary services in the area. With respect to these items, we report as follows: 1. Sanitary Servicing: The report completed by Cumming Cockburn Limited in 1996 discussed various sanitary servicing options for County Building and the proposed Elgin Manor. One option consisted of the construction of a pumping station and forcemain to be owned and operated by the County which would service only these two facilities. At that time, sewage flows from the two developments were estimated to be in the order of approximately 56 cU.m. per day with the majority of flows originating from the proposed 350 Oxford Street West, Suite 203, London, Ontario N6H 11'3 Telephone: (519) 472-7328 Fax: (519) 472-9354 Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto;. Waterloo, London RECEIVED OCT 1 8 2000 County of Elgin October 16,2000 Page 2 Elgin Manor. The costs for a pumping station and forcemain to service the two facilities was estimated to be $245,000 which included stand-by power, engineering and contingencies. If a pumping station were to be constructed to service just the County Building, the sewage flows would be significantly reduced from 56 cU.m.per day to approximately 11 cU.m. day and the need for standy-by power could likely be eliminated. As such, the cost for a smaller pumping station without stand-by power to service just the County Building is estimated to be approximately $ 140,000 including engineering and contingencies. Water Servicing: The 1996 report considered the extension of a new 250mm diameter watennain from the existing main on Sunset Drive approximately 450m south to the County Building. From discussions with Central-Elgin it is understood that they would likely want to oversize the main to 300mm dia to allow for some future growth and development in the area. The 1996 report estimated the cost of extending a main approximately 450m at $ 87,000. For budgeting purposes it is recommended that this amount be increase to $150,000 (including engineering and contingencies) to allow for oversizing and increases in construction costs since 1996. It should be noted that the City ofSt. Thomas has indicated that given the age and condition of the existing 250 dia on Sunset Drive, the entire length of main should be relined. As such, Central-Elgin would be responsible for the cost associated with relining the section of main south ofthe City limit. This cost has been estimated at $ 165,000 (llOOm@$ 150/m). 2. From Discussions with Mr. John Dewancker, of the City ofSt. Thomas, it is understood that the City would not require any new facility to pump during off peak hours - as is the current practise. Notwithstanding, available treatment capacity, current allocations, and treatment costs are all issues that will need to be reviewed if new services are extended to the area. 3. Our office attempted to contact a number of parties in the area to determine their interest in obtaining water and sanitary servicing from a municipal system - specifically: Family and Children Services of SI. Thomas; Thames Valley District School Board; and The proposed St. Joseph's Health Centre Forensic Unit. The Family and Children Services Facility, located just north of the County Building, is currently serviced by wells and a septic tank and tile bed. Ron Lidster, Business Administrator for Family and Children Services, advised that although their current systems are pretty reliable they do have problems with the mechanical systems from time to time and would welcome the opportunity to be connected to municipal services - subject to costs. County of Elgin October 16, 2000 Page 3 They were made aware of the County's interest in this area and they subsequently expressed an interest to be kept informed should the matter progress. Stephen Ries, of St. Joseph's Health Centre was contacted to obtain initial comments regarding municipal services for the proposed forensic unit to be located on the psychiatric hospital lands. Mr. Ries advised that they are investigating servicing options for the proposed facility and certainly would be interested in municipal servicing as one of the options _ once again subject to costs. Mr. Ries requested to be kept informed of develop- ments regarding this issue. Efforts were made to contact a representative of the Thames Valley District School Board, however at the time ofthe preparation this report, contact had not been made. Should the County or the Municipality of Central Elgin wish to proceed with an area servicing scheme, the first step would bc to initiatc and complete a Class Environmental Assessment. Such a study would: Identify the need for servicing; Dcvelop alternatives based on comments received from parties having an interest in the project including existing developments in the area, local residents, major property owners and agencies including the City of St. Thomas; and Select a preferred servicing alternative based on an evaluation of each alternative relative to the social, natural and economic environmental impact.

Elgin- Middlesex-London 542 Talbot Street St. 1110111as, ()ntario N5P lC4 ~(gU I \ffCltNEO 1 1------~-----\ Dear Steve: Thank you for your letter of May 18,2000, regarding agricultural drain lllaintenance and the protection of fish habitat. The federal Fisheries Act prohibits the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat, unless authorized by the Minister of Fisheries and ()ceans. Th' gu~ ofFi.b"'~ "'" 0,,,,,,, C,,,",,,'. (OPO) P,licy fo' 'M M",g,mffl' of Fm' Habitat is to achieve "No Net Loss" in the productive capacity of fish habitat. The application ofthe habitat protection provisions ofthe Fisheries Act and the Policy for the Management ofFish Habitat to lllunicipal drains that contain fish habitat is to ensure that these lllaintenance activities will not result in the loss of f1Sh habitat. It is not to prevent farm drainage or to restrict the right to drain agricultural lands. In 1ll0St cases, potential adverse effects on f1Sh habitat resulting from drain lllaintenance can be lllitigated through design modification, good construction practices and tillling considerations. To facilitate this, DF() has signed agreelllents with lllany local Conservation Authority off1ces. These agreelllents allow the Conservation Authority offices to cOlllplete a prelilllinary review of projects, and forWard to DF() only those which are likely to require a Fisheries Act authorization by the Minister. The Conservation Aufuori"~ p","id' DPO wit!> , ~",,""Y "",ort doou~",'ing d"i.o~ ~"', ond" t!>i. agreelllent. These agreelllents do not delegate any authority to the Conservation Authorities to authorize the loss of fish habitat. Furthermore, to streaIUline the review of lllaintenance activities on lllunicipal and agricultural drains that contain fish habitat, DF() is also in the process of impl""''''''''' A C'O" A."w'''''"o ho'''' f" """""''''',' Mw,idpa' D",io> io tho ,,,",'om Oow"o R,gi'o, wm,b will ~padi" phMin, ffld ,wnini", "",,,rem"''' fo< the drainage superintendent. .../2 Canada 44 - 2- The Class Authorization process provides a standard set of mitigation measures for maintenance work in these types of drains. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will work closely with the drainage superintendents and municipalities, both directly and through the Conservation Authorities, to ensure that the mitigation measures contained within the Class Authorizations are practical and useful for routine maintenance works. The Class Authorization will allow most maintenance work to proceed with minimal review time. With regard to the legal opinion provided by the County of Elgin, it is my view that DFO does have jurisdiction, under the Constitution Act (1867), and section 35 of the Fisheries Act, to regulate the harmful alteration, disruption or destruct.ion offish habitat occuning in agriculturai drains. Furthennore, municipal councils C,hill()t issue authorizations for the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat. Only the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans or DFO officials acting in the normal course oftheir duties may exercise that authority. This conclusion is as a result of the specific wording of subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act, subsection 24(2) of the Interpretation Act, and principles of administrative law. In addition, Conservation Authorities are not in a position of authority over municipal councils in respect of fish habitat in agricultural drains. Conservation Authorities will not have, and indeed cannot have, this power. Please note that DFO has authority only in areas that constitute fish habitat. A large percentage of the drains may not constitute fish habitat, and where this is the case, further review would not be required relative to the Fisheries Act. For your information, the Class Authorization Process has been in place for three years in Huron-Perth counties. The drainage superintendents have found that the Class Authorization Process has saved them considerable time in obtaining the necessary approvals. Thank you for your interest in this matter. Yours sincerely. 7M The Honourable Herb Dhaliwal, P.C., M.P. 45 'flie Corporation of tlie <Municipality of ceotrar 'Ergin 450 Sunset Drive, 15\ Floor, SI.

TOWN or GODElUCH COUNCIL RESOLUT10N CONCERNiNG SALT DESIGNATION ON THE PRIORlTY SUBSTANCE LIST 2 (PSD) TOXIC AND WHEREAS, there is only 60 days allowed for public input (October 11,2000). AND WHEREAS, tlle cvidence prompting the cnvironmental assessment of road salt five years a~o described a scries of environmental incidents caused by mismanagement of road salt and the intervening literature review by Environment Canada has added to that collection of studies without chan~ing its characler as a series of local incidents. AND WHEREAS, environmental consullants solicited by Environment Canada to peer review its draft assessment adVised E.nvironment ClIl1ada to conduct further studies rather than proceed with a "toxic" recommendation because of lhe inadequacy of lhe draft assessment report 10 meet the stMlIlory standard lor a "'lox ic" declaration, advice rejected by the agency. AND WHEREAS, the Town of Goderich is against the uesignation of salt as a toxic substance for the following reasons: 1. The human heallh implications of a "toxic" designation are unknown and likely to be significant and substantial (lllunicipallegal liability will increase, human safety would be jeopardized), 2. Due process has not been rollowed. Provincial and municipal users of road salts and the sail industry have been ~ivcn a short 60-day "public consultation period" \0 review over a thous:\nd pages of technical doctlments gathered by the agency over live years - and all of those documents have not even heen made available to the public for review or comment. 3. The science is weak and il1conclusive. This matter should have full consultation, partnership, and leadershIp from Ihc provinces. 4. The public will be confused and concerned. The public viewS loxic substances as "poison" und harmful to human health. It is h1appropriate that a substance such as road sailS (a natural elemcnt and an approved food) be classified in the samc category ;\5 the most dangerouS chemicals, The federal governmenl ha~ <In obligatiun to ensure that Canadians arc nol inappr<mriately and unl1ecessllrily alarmed over essential winler road maintenance taken by other levels of government. NOW THERFORE DE IT RESOL VEn TI-IA ,\'; 1. The Minister of Heallh and the Minister of Environment are requested, under their discretionary authority, under section 7& of Canadian Environmcntall'rQtcetion Act, to suspend the PSL2 assessment ofroad salts until further research is conduCled and more inclusive consul lations can be conducted. 2. Tile Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment (CCME) should develop Canada Wide Standards as an alternative to a CEl'A toxic designation. ,(7'7) . ~1Y YlY... .u: MAYOR - Delbcf(J. Shewfe" ..i!.

It is usual that Canada coordinates the release of a new postage stamp so that the stamp launoh can be held at the convention. We have therefore decided to request that a stamp be issued to honour Volunt~er Firefighters, with the stamP launch being in Hanover - 30 May 2003, Canada has never issued a stamp to honour firefighters and since "Volunteer FirefightI!TS" are vital to the life and safety of Canadians living in the many small towns across this country we feel that they should be honoured in this way. !As our theme is, "Small Town Canada", and firefighters in the big cities arc usually full time paid employees, we feel that "Volunlee~ Firefighteri' is an appropriate topic for a stamp re1ea..<.ed here in Hanover, We are weiting to you at this time in order to give you advance notification of this upcoming event and also to ask your Il-'lsistance in our efforts to have Canada Post issue a stamp honouring "Volunteer Firefighters".

He also announced that his Ministry would be consulting with key stakeholders regarding the proposed legislation, which is likely this Fall. Summary of the Response: We ara pleased that the government is moving quickly to introduce legislation. The Associations continue to recommend action on five key areas - the regulatory environment, enforcement, leading vOluntary initiatives, research, and educationlcommunication. Some of these issues have been addressed in the province's work, but more needs to be done. . Regulatory En vironment- The government is promising a regulatory environment with clarity and clear lines of authority, however the Associations are concerned about the possibility of a limited municipal role and a much larger provincial role. This may not complement the public perspective of accessibility or needs, The regulatory environment needs to be somewhat flexible, so local circumstances and changing agricultural trends can be addressed. The idea of setting different requirements for different types and sizes of operations is supported. However, Classifying operations with less than 150 animal units as small is problematic and should be significantly reduced. While the proposal is taking into account the location of farms and environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs), we reiterated the need to look at developing "buffer zones" and "areas of excellence". Finally, there is a serious Concern about the government's proposed 10 year Implementation schedule. .../2 56 9/2.118822:19:84 tS1; I\SSOC\1\1l0li OY'H SEP-21-00 \~U OS~33 P~ ~tlO ~O sommu0jcatiOn - A~t 1 519 &33 7&&1 ~"l>l'''~'' P. 02/03 .

Alert. 001035 GEB Delivers Decision on Minister's Directive AND Ministry of Finance Grandfathers Transfer Tax Exemption Issue: The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has delivered its much anticipated decision on the Minister's directive to protect consumers from price hikes. ALSO the Ministry of Finance has given municipal electricity utilities (MEUs) some breathing room on the sales transfer tax exemption deadline. Background: The OEB issued its decision on the Minister of Energy's June 7111 directive to give primacy to the protection of consumers when considering electricity rate increases, last Friday. This followed the OEB's "Generic Hearings" at the end of August, in Which a number of municipalities participated. The decision only serves to interpret the Minister's directive and does not speak to BflI1 00. The OEB decision supports AMO's position that MEUs should be permitted to reach a Market-Based Rate of Return (MBRR), Ihrough phased-in increases. In this respect, the decision upholds the principles of the Rates Handbook, including the commercialization goals. The maximum MBRR remains 9.88%. However, the OEB has imposed a mandatory 3-year phase-in of MBRI=={, in equal dollar increments, and prohibits the recovery of any deferred return for the 1" generalion Performance Based Regulation (PBR) regime. This is a more rigid interpretation of the phase-in, and it represents a loss in revenue in the first two years of the phase-in, to Which MEUs were previously enlitled. The Board's decision will reqUire changes to the Rates Handbook, but there has been no indication of when this will happen, In the meantime, rate applications must be filed or reflled by November 301h, 2000 (for the larger utilities that were required to file under the May 1st deadline). Also all Friday, the Minister of Finance amended the transfer tax regulation under the Electricity Act. The amendment allows all MEU sales/merger agreements that are signed, sealed and submitted to the OEB before November 7'11 deadline, to benefit from the 33% transfer tax exemption, provided that they meet certain criteria. Prior to the amendment, the agreements had to be approved by the OEB by November 7'h before they wouid be entitled to the tax exemption. Both AMO and the Municipal Electric Association (MEA) had lobbied for this extension. Action: While the OEB decision does not address Bill 100 directly, it confirms that consumer protection can be achieved within the framework of the Rates Handbook, thus suggesting that Bill 100 is unnecessary. However, the final decision regarding Bill100 rests with the Minister of Energy. To date, there has been no indication of whether he is persuaded by the OEB decision. AMO will continue to push for the removal of Bill 100. More information on the transfer tax amendment can be found at WWW.est.oov.on.ca . Information on the OEB decision can be found at www.oeb.Qovcpn.cq" __ 5B For more Information contact Nicola Crawhall, Senior Policy Advisor at (416) 971-9856: ex\. 329. --- ~._, ,_.

Municipalities have already experienced other service and infrastructure transfers and realize that issues become apparent as the transfer is completed. AMO will continue to remind the province of the lessons learned (e,g. transfer of roads, ambulance, etc.) and will call on the Minister to keep the door open for additional funding. Specifically, concerns exist with the condition of the housing stock being transferred, the sufficiency ofthe transition funding, the adequacy ofthe capital reserves, and the future financial risk associated with an income redistribution program on the property tax base. The Bill is over 100 pages and provides for a large number of regulations which are not available. Th Bill itself will not be available until early next week (www.ontla.on.ca). AMO's Social Housing Task Force will review the Social Housing Reform Act, and prepare a submission that sets out municipal interests and concerns. AMO's expectation is that these can be discussed with the government in advance of any public hearing process for which no information is yet available. Action: President Mulvale, in reacting to the introduction of the legislation again reiterated municipal concern with the appropriateness of income redistribution programs on the property tax base. "AMO will work diligently to ensure that the risks to property tax payers are contained and that both the federal and provincial governments do not abrogate their responsibilities for social programs. Both must use their significant economic surpluses to help solve the housing crisis and the devolution of the administration of the existing stock should not confuse their responsibility".

Three weeks ago, Brad Clark, MOHL TC Parliamentary Assistant, and Roger Anderson, municipal Co-Chair oflhe Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee (LAISC) along with a working group completed a template proposal. All the municipal representatives to the Steering Committee supported the proposal and it was immediately forwarded to the Minister. The template recognizes that municipal costs to fund the same level of service are different than when the province delivered the service (e.g., insurance, leases, sales tax). It also reflects the increase in certain costs, such as tile price of gas and vehicles. The template accommodates the different types of municipal delivery systems, whether in-house or contracted. The government approved the template as submitted with two exceptions. The issues of arbitrated wage settlements and borrowing costs were removed; the former was done because of the government's policy of funding partners no more than 2% a year on labour wage increases. However, the template continues tile proposed provision that gives Ihe Minister the ability to consider special circumstances provided the municipality makes a business case. AMO will be monitoring arbitration settlements and the impact on the ambulance service system. Costs that are outside of municipal control and are settled by others could significantly affect the ability of municipalities to invest in system improvements. A copy of the template as approved and the Minister's letter advising of the decision is available from AMO's website. Action: Work wili proceed on other transition issues Including the implementation process related to the funding template, the review of standards and how they will be funded, inter-facility transfers, dispatch and station leases, among other matters. Brad Clark, speaking at the AMO Counties and Regions Conference, reiterated his commitment to work with LAISC and expedite these other issues. The t0mplate will allow municipalities to prepare budgets for 2001 with certainty and, in addition to monitoring arbitration settlements. AMO will work with the Ministry to ensure an effective implementation process for the approved cost template. This information Is available t"roug!)

Under the leadership~of Mr':- Roger Anderson, municipal Co-Chair of LAISC and Mr. Brad Clark, my Parliamentary Assistant, the Steering Committee worked expeditiously over the succeeding three weeks, producing a funding template for the Government's consideration. I am very grateful for AMO'p support and the effort and cooperation of the municipal members of LAISC in developing a funding template. This municipal/provincial partnership continues to ensure a smooth transfer of land ambulance service. Today, I am pleased to advise you that the Government has reviewed and approved a funding template. The approved template, attached to this letter, defines those land ambulance costs the province will cost share on a 50/50 basis. We will continue to consult with the Steering Committee as we implement. the funding template that has been designed to assist Upper Tier Municipalities and Designated Delivery Agent~ (UTM/DDA) in developing their plans for the provision of land ambulance services. The Ministry will consistently review municipal plans against the template to confirm provincial funding 'for each UTM/DDA. Ministry staff will soon be providing you with information on the implementation of the funding template and offering assistance in the development of your budget plans. Should you have any immediate questions about the template or the way in which it will be used, please call the Ministry's Emergency Health Services Manager for ,your region. . .2/ 62 fr ~~ , 00 \D )?-\ 1530.4Sse S0/c0'd T99~~~96TST6 01 88S~ 9c~ SW31S;.S H1ltJ3H <1.::1 cv: D 00, S0 DO -2- On the strength of our successful joint effort in laying the basis for approved land ambulance costs, I look forward to the results of our further collaboration at LAISC in completing the transfer and reviewing standards for this vital service.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care will consider special circumstances provided that the municipality makes a business case. Land ambulance costs, as with other Local Services Realignment Initiatives will be subject to Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) year-end reconciliation of LSR costs.

Basis _ the same number of vehicles in the fleet at the time of assumption, or approved number of vehicles if different. ,." ..-Two approaches are possible: 1. Establish a life cycle/vehicle replacement cycle (recommendation 4.5 years). This would lead to regular funding support for vehicle purchases based on expected vehicle replacements. May be considered as part of a UTM reserve fund. 2. Funding in the year of purchase. This would be detailed in the budget process. Under both scenarios, if the vehicle purchased exceeds the standards, funding would be based on the cost of the standard vehicle. Basis _ operate, maintain and repair the same number of vehicles . in the fleet at the time of assumption or approved number of vehicles if different.

Too often, Dr. McHughen argues, the debate suffers from II an apparently deliberate campaign of emotional pleadings based on scientific misinformation, misinterpretation, and simple misunderstan~ing. IT Pandora's Picnic Basket - is the author's attempt to rationalize" the debate, by providing factual information in reader-friendly terms, so that consumers can make inforPled decisions 'about whether the technology should be supported or feared. Using clear and direct language, Dr. McHugheii provides a basic primer on the concepts of molecular g~netics, and the manner in which these concepts have beenapplied in transferring' genes from one organism to another. He compares genetic engineering with other, more traditional plant breeding methods, and uncovers the real stories behind many of the urban myths surrounding. the new technology. The book also examines the safe- guards in place to protect consumers and UP~~~~I~\ 1!.-~lJ""'-~- 1 11 ~ {n" ...~. '. ~t?iJ;:3.u....

Issues of. concern regarding the- technology are examined, along with the implications of adopting a labellihg regime for all food products developed through its , use. Are such labels practical? Will they add to the much vaunted concept of consumer choice? Will the costs of mandatory labelling result in less choice for , many consumers? Dr. McHughen's approach is balanced and rational, with attention paid to both the benefits and the potential risks the technology offers. Case histories illustrate the development and regulation of GMOs, arguments are well-supported, and a lengthy resource list is included for readers who, want more information. A valuable contribution to the ongoing' dialogue regarding genetically modified food, and essential reading for those concerned about the technology and eqnally skeptical both of proponent's promises and opponent's predictions of doom, Pandora's Picnic Bas!a;t is available in most major Canadian bookstores.

Since that time, harvest season has arrived, and initial analysis of results regarding required crop inputs and cOllsumerpref- erences has begun. The first sweet com and table potatoes of the season, incluaing genetically engineered varieties, were available for consumers at Birkbank Farms August 30. The crops are part of an experiment comparing different pest management technologies coupled with consumer buying preference in a complete fann- to-fork approach. To deliver the high-quality, affordable sweet corn and table potatoes that Canadian consumers demand, producers use a mix of technologies, techniques and experience. All of the sweet com available on the , initial day of sales was sprayed with a herbicide on July 2 and received one application of fertilizer. The convention- ' al sweet corn was sprayed either three times with the insecticide carbofuran or four times with Bt as a foliar spray (Bt is short for Bacillus thuringiensis, a nat- ural, soil-borne bacterium that produces a protein that is toxic to specific families of insect pests). The last treatment was on Aug. 23. All conventional varieties required a fungicide, which was applied on Aug. 15. The sweet com genetically engineered to contain Bt required no . insecticides ~d n6 fungicides. The potatoes required two applica- tions of fungicide, largely due to the wet spring and summer. Conventional potatoeS were either sprayed twice with the . insecticide Admire, twice with Actara, a new biopesticide currently undergoing field trials to test its effectiveness, or three times with Bt as a foliar spray. The genetically engineered Bt pota~oes required no insecticides. All of the products used have been approved for safety by Canadian regulators and were used according to recommended The Ontario government and private se~tor p<lftners are investing more than $3.5 million to research and develop uew methods of quickly detecting contaminants in food and water. With funding assistance from Ontario's TlHealthy Futures for Agriculture" program, project partners will develop tobacco and potato plants . capable of producing antibodies that call detect the' presence of foodborne pathogens such as Listeria and E.coli 0I57:H7 as well as waterborne parasites such as Cryptosporidium parvum and organic contaminants ,such as PCBs and dioxins. The antibodies ."harvestedll' from these customized plants will then be incorporated into the packaging mate- rials for detecting foodborne contaminants. Research will be carried out at the University of Guelph over the next three years to: . produce antibodies in plants (also known as llplantibodies") . evaluate field-grown, identity preserved transgenic tobacco and potatoes for plantibody yield. . achieve small and large scale purification of antibodies from the trans- genic plants . incorporate plantibodies into the packaging materials used in the food industry demonstrate the usefulness of these' packaging systems III detecting foodbome contaminants. Although antibodies have been' used to detect contaminants for years, the costs involved with such applica- tions have prohibited widespread usage. A source of quality plantibodies such as that envisioned in the project will reduce costs significantly, opening up new uses for technology, new markets for agriculture and new opportunities for added safety in our food supply. , .~ ,~. f , li I c icontinuedfroriIpage'l . l The .Saskatchewan Agricultural.

"",T'\ '~p !'l1"~!' ~,WI:.:...~b:"u ~ ~:"~, ~ ~)~jrVn,d:::(} On July 5, 2000, the Canada Transportation Act (the Act) was amended to address restructuring within the Canadian air transportation industry. One of the amendments specifically addresses the notice requirements for air carriers proposing to reduce or discontinue air services within Canada (See Appendix A for sections 64 and 65 of the amended legislation). An air carrier is now required to give affected communities notice that it proposes to reduce or discontinue air services to a point within Canada in three situations: 1. When a carrier proposes to discontinue service that would result in only one or no carriers serving a point; 2. When a carrier proposes to reduce the frequency of a service to less than one flight per week which results in only one or no carriers providing service to that point at least once per week; 3. When a carrier proposes to discontinue a year-round, non-stop, scheduled air service between two points in Canada that would result in a major seating capacity reduction (50% or more) on that route. If one of these situations arises, then the carrier must give the community or communities affected 120 days notice before the date it proposes to discontinue or reduce a service. Carriers who have served a point for less than one year are required to give 30 days notice. A carrier may apply to the " Agency to have the notice period reduced. The carrier must publish its notice in the largest circulated newspaper serving the community affected by the change in air services, The air carrier is also required to serve a copy of the notice on the federal Minister of Transport, the minister of transport in the province or territory to be affected, and on the Canadian Transportation Agency. .,,/2 Ottawa (Ontario) KIA ON9 www.cta-otc.gc.ca 7 1 Ottawa Ontario KIA ON9 www.cta-otc.gc.ca Canada 2 In addition, the carrier must provide elected officials of the community or communities affected an opportunity to discuss with the carrier the impact of its proposal to discontinue or reduce service. If you believe that a carrier has not given proper notice as set out above, you may submit a complaint to the Canadian Transportation Agency. If the Agency finds that proper notice was not given, it may order the carrier to reinstate the service for .up. to,60..days if it is practicable to do so. The Agency may also fine a carrier that has failed to provide proper notice. It should be noted that this process cannot prevent a carrier who has given proper notice from discontinuing its service. If you think all air carrier should give, or should have given, notice of a change in the frequency of its service in any circumstance other than specified above) and you have complained to the airline but are not satisfied with its response, you may then complain to the Agency's Air Travel Complaints Commissioner.

Heffren Page 3 Following many months of discussion, my provincial and territorial counterparts and I have recently finalized a three-year framework agreement that will provide up to $5.5 billion in safety net funding to Canadian producers. The deal will see an investment of up to $3.3 billion in federal funding over the next three years, with up to an additional $2.2 billion provided by the provinces. These funds will constitute the basis of Canada's farm income safety net package. This package includes fall cash advances, the NISA program, crop insurance, province-specific companion programs, and a new, ongoing disaster protection component, the Canadian Farm Income Program (CFIP). In response to farming groups, the disaster assistance program will now be a fixed part of the safety net package. The CFIP will be directed toward all producers who have experienced dramatic reductions in fanning income, I am enclosing information on the details of the new framework. Provincial allocation ofthe federal portion of the funding for the basic safety net program will be based on the size of the agriculture industry within each of the provinces, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador, which will receive a set allocation. This will ensure fair distribution of the funds. As a result of increased federal funding, most provinces will receive increased allocations, and no province will receive less than its 1998-99 funding level. The program will be cost-shared under the traditional 60:40 federal-provincial arrangement. The new framework is a balanced agreement that will respond well to the overall needs of the agricultural sector as well as to province-specific concerns, I am confident that the framework will offer more stability to the sector. Federal, provincial and territorial Ministers remain committed to providing long-tenn income security for Canada's producers, and I believe that this agreement accomplishes this goal. With this new package, we are taking a large step toward ensuring that Canada's agricultural sector continues to be competitive and strong.

"When we name to power in 1995, we said we would end the social housing boondoggle," Clement said. "We have streamlined programs, improved administration and brought in efficiencies, s<\ving municipalities and taxpayers $100 million since 1998. "There are three key benefits to the proposed transfer: the Social Housing Reform Act would put a vital service in the hands of those best positioned to respond to local needs. It would allow local governments to integrate the administration of social housing with Ontario Works, child care and other social services to serve clients more effectively and efficiently. And it would put responsibility for bricks and mortar where it belongs - with municipalities." This legislation would give municipalities the "say for pay" they have been asking for. Municipalities began paying for social housing In January 1998. In exchange, the province took 50 per cent of education costs off the residential property tax bill. If this legislation is passed, corporations controlled by Ontario municipalities would own and operate all 84,000 units of public housing starting January 1, 2001. "That's an asset with a gross value of three billion dollars," Clement said. The responsibility for administering 156.000 non-profit and co-op housing units would follow over a period of 18 months. The legislation would ensure that there are no declines in the number of households assisted or in the number of units for people with disabilities. ...2 103 -2- The province would continue to set and monitor standards, make sure that levels of service are maintained and transfer federal funds for social housing to the local level. Clement also promised minimal disruption to tenants, both during the transfer and after. "Tenants in social housing will not lose their homes," he said. With this legislation, the province is following through on its commitment to transfer social housing as part of its process of realigning local services, The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has consulted extensively with local governments and housing providers to ensure a smooth transfer. - 30- For media Inquiries, please contact: Brian Patterson Minister's Office Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (416) 585-6477 Janet Mason Policy Division Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (416) 585-6320 Amanda McWhirter Minister's Office Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (416) 585-6932 For more information, please see the attached backgrounders and visit the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's Web site at http://www.mah.gov.on.ca Existe aussi en francais. 104 eaCk9rO\l"der OOC\l",e"t d'imo..",atlO" @ ontar\O october >\2, 2()OO co"""".""" ,CC." ,0 SOC,,,," ",,"51"" .om' fa'" a....

The province signed a social housing agreement with the federal government on November 17, 1999. The social housing agreement transferred the administration and management responsibilities for federal housing programs to the province, . As part of the agreement with the federal government, the province is receiving an annual transfer of federal funding. This funding amounts to $525 million in the first year. This total amount decreases In small annual increments, as agreements expire, . A portion of the federal funds will be retaineq by the province to meet its obligations, including its responsibility for dedicated supportive housing and potentially, depending on the outcome of consultation, the Rural and Native Housing program. . The province proposes to flow the funds provided by the federal' government to the service managers to fund the federal social housing and cost-shared programs that are being transferred to them. . The province also proposes to flow one-time funding of $58 million to deal with future capital funding pressures related to the federal projects being transferred. . Any annual surplus will be distributeq Proportionally among the service mangers. The service managers must use all surplus federal funding for housing purposes, including the new rent supplement program, Transitional funding . Service managers may be eligible to access a total of $5.6 million in one-time transition funding from the province, Funding will be given to service managers to offset some start-up costs I such as aqministrative office set-up, costs of computer equipment, or costs of hiring consultants, . The province is also providing service managers with one.time funqing specifically to assist with costs of a property management system for public hOLlsing. 115 2 . s"- ""nage'" may .e eligib'" \<> _1"" l",,"lng 1<> help del<SY """ ",lated to registering tne title to public \1ousing buildingS. . 1'h8 d..l."'on 01 ,,,,nsmon lundl""lor eaoh .."''''

Ensuring that a program is in place to pool housing provider replacement reserves, ensuring sound investment management. Ensuring that a process is in place to benchmark housing provider operating costs on an ongoing basis. Co-ordinating and maintaining bulk-purchasing agreements for such items as fuel and other commodities. We agree that these components of the social housing business require appropriate management, however it would be our view that there are other more suitable processes for meeting your requirements. For many years municipalities have been engaged in many of the activities that this proposed corporation would provide and have excellent track records in doing so. The last thing that any of us wants is to duplicate services and systems resulting in additional costs to our common taxpayer. The Region of York (as well as many other CMSM's) is engaged in a variety of partnerships within the municipal and other sectors, which are very similar in nature to the services related to social housing. Examples include: · The York Region Buyers Co-operative (17 public agencies, cross sectoral- Board of Education/CCAC/York University) . Police Co-operative Purchasing Group ( includes RCMP) . Emergency Services Buying Group (EMS, GTA Co-operative ventures) . Provincial Standing Agreements ( Emergency Vehicles, Medical supplies) .

We l1ad hired an Insurance Expert to review the RFP and the former insurance provider was not selected and that has posed the following problero. It is our understanding that when you select a new insurance carrier that you must retain the previous carrier for what is termcd "A claims made policy tail" for liability problems that may arise out of the former policy. The problem is now the County of Peterborough is paying a premium to our new carrier as well as a premium to our previous carrier for this "tail". If the County calls for a RFI' in the future and the current carrier is not selected then we would be paying for a "tail" for multiple carriers. County Couneil has requested that I write you to see if you can provide any assistance to municipalities regarding the problem of paying for insurance coverage from past carriers when changing carriers, due to potential liability claims under the old policy. It would seem that it would not be economically feasible for municipalities to change carriers if they always had to retain previous carriers for liability purposes, I hope. you will be able to provide us with a solution to this problem. If you have any questions, please contact Bryce McLean, Director of Finance/Aoting CAO (ex!. 316) or myself (ex!. 301). Yours truly, /",/2 ./. i6eA?f.? T C.M.O, C.M.C.

( Michael Power President Association of Municipalities of Ontario and Mayor of the Town of Geraldton Ottawa Congress Centre AMO Conference, Ottawa August 14,2000 (Check against delivery) Good morning. It's a great pleasure to be here in Ottawa with all of you - for AMO's largest conference ever. This is the 101s1 year of our Association and over 1700 delegates have gathered here in Ottawa. My thanks to Bob Chiarelli, Chair of the Region of Ottawa-Carleton and to Councillors Peter Hume and Molly McGoldrick-Larsen and their dedicated team. You have done a tremendous job. We all thank you. /-----\ The conference theme "Knowledge is an Asset - What a Capital Idea" is most fitting. Knowledge is the capital upon which we all draw in decision making. This conference will provide all elected and appointed officials with an increased knowledge base to help facilitate decision making in the year ahead. I encourage you to visit the many exhibitors and meet with the sponsors of this year's convention. The exhibitors bring to us a wide range of products and ideas that can be of use in our municipalities. I would like to acknowledge the presence here today of our first private sector sponsor. Frank Pazner has attended over 40 consecutive AMO conferences and is a major supporter of the municipal order of government. Thank you Frank. This has been another busy year for your Association. I refer you to the Annual Report in your conference binder. I want to thank the many volunteers who dedicated their time and expertise to our many Task Forces and agreed to sit on many committees. This commitment to AMO has strengthened the organization. I encourage others to likewise consider volunteering. Please take a moment to complete the volunteer form that is in your conference kit. You can make a difference. ,,.---,,, , , I would be remiss if I did not thank our sister associations who took our outstretched hand and helped us forge better alliances. This has meant we truly speak to government with one voice - one position gets put forward. This means that the provincial order of government cannot say to the municipal order of government - "You do not know what you want so we will decide for you." 2 AMO is strong. You get value for your membership dollar. Your Secretary- Treasurer, Jim Pine, CAO of the City of Quinte West, along with your Executive D,,,do', pe' M00e and She"d K""' ha'" mede 'h" e key ta"" ',./ We keep g"w'ng, And I .m .,.,,,maly p,,"d o"ho !eotl'''' e.hOUgh ,he numWof municipalities is declining across Ontario -- the membership of this Association continues to rise. I believe this growth is due to AMO's constant efforts to inform and educate our members during these times of change.

I would like to share my response with you. /-- 6 Leading AMO has driven home - most emphatically - the great diversity of this province. ) ',.../ It has made me very aware that all orders of government must allow for regional differences in policies ... procedures .., and legislation. For one size does not fit all. Yet, within this, many of the issues are the same. The matters of roads and bridges for instance, faced in Stormont-Dundas and Glengarry are the same as in Toronto. Matters of law and order faced in Brighton are the same as in Windsor. The difference is in the size and .the magnitude. Our municipal issues are not unique. All we need to do is structure our decision- making and our solutions in a way that allows for some variation. We have done this in the past. We will do this even more so in the future. Which leads me to one more point about our future. While AMO will continue to work closely with the provincial government -- we also believe it's important to reach out to the opposition parties. In the coming months, we plan to talk with them .., educate them ." and help them '..J) develop their own platforms with respect to the municipal order of government. By helping all political parties in Ontario develop municipal platforms that respect and reflect the needs of the municipal order of government, we can help ease the tensions and get the work done. We believe this is important. We need to make sure all provincial parties understand the issues that are relevant to the members of AMO. When you first elected me as President of your Association, I made certain pledges to you. I promised that we would restructure AMO to meet the needs of the membership. That promise has been kept. I promised that communications with the membership would be enhanced and made a priority. That promise has been kept. I promised that AMO would provide you -- the members -- with the tools to facilitate '. ) your decision-making process at your council tables. -- That promise has been kept. 7 ~.'-... I promised that you and I, together, would make AMO a more effective voice for the municipal order of government in Ontario. We have kept that promise. And, finally, I asked that you promise me that municipalities would speak with one voice through AMO to the provincial government. That promise, too, has been kept -- and I thank you. I did not promise a New Municipal Act. But how wonderful if that happens tomorrow. Together, these changes have made AMO even more of a force to be reckoned with. They have ensured that we are more proactive on behalf of our membership. They have allowed us to put forward strong positions that are truly representative of municipalities across this province. And they make sure we can speak -- very clearly -- to the provincial and the federal orders of government. i'.. This is vital -- particularly now. For these are, indeed, times of change. In conclusion, I would like to say that it has been my great honour and privilege to serve as your President for the past three years. I look forward to continuing to work hard on AMO's behalf as Past-President. And I will continue to say to all who ask -- that the great strength of AMO lies in our unity. I know that together we can continue to meet all challenges and move forward collectively -- for the good of all the people we serve. I hope you enjoy your conference. Thank you. ~.

( ,~- 3 ( (- ) -j -j The Winds of Change: Local Services Realignment · The Services Improvement Act, 1997, ushered in a new era of provincial- municipal relationships with respect to the delivery of social and health services. Responsibility for land ambulance services was to be transferred to municipal governments. · Municipalities will assume responsibility for providing land ambulance services by January 1, 2001. · Initially municipalities were to fund 100% of land ambulance costs. · Last year the province announced that it would, effective January 1, 1999 share one-half of the approved costs of land ambulance. 4 Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee . AMO and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care have established a joint committee, the Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee (LAISC), to provide advice and recommendations to the Minister on all aspects of the transfer. . This partnership with municipalities is continuing, and LAISC has been instrumental in reviewing and making recommendations on transitional issues including: - purchasing options for municipalities; - cost sharing; and - the dispatch system. · A joint web site has been established for easy access to information. http://www.amo-ehs.com 5 / \, ~. ( '. ( "----' \ j ) " ) Transfer Accomplishments Establishment of Service Areas: · All required Delivery Agents have been designated. Of the 10 northern delivery agents, 8 are District Social Service Administration Boards created as an integral part of the local services realignment initiative. · The minister has also designated Delivery Agents to manage services across Separated Municipalities and neighboring Counties. · These Delivery Agents (DAs) together with the Upper Tier Municipalities (UTMs) comprise 49 land ambulance service areas covering the Province of Ontario. 6 Transfer Accomplishments (continued) Ambulance Act Amendments: · Statutory and regulatory changes to the Ambulance Act allowed for a competency-based certification scheme and cost apportionment among municipalities. Transfers Completed: · To date, eight (8) UTMs/DAs have successfully assumed full responsibility for service, and all others are preparing to assume by January 1, 2001. l - l 7 l ~', ) ~) ~, ) / Completing the Transfer . We have the same interests in making sure that both the province and municipalities have timely information for their budgeting. . We must therefore expeditiously finalize a framework for approved costs. . We know that you want a consistent approach to meeting service standards, including the response time standard. . Through your plans, best practices will emerge for local delivery of ambulance services. . We will work together to determine transfer readiness as January 1, 2001 approaches. 8 Completing the Transfer (continued) Cost-Sharing Strategy: · Costs are increasing for municipalities in delivering land ambulance services. . Together with LAISC we will finalize a framework for approved costs and a process for clearly defining and meeting standards. At LAISC we will jointly consider your plans for providing land ambulance services and meeting standards against the approved costs framework. . Future changes in standards that are mutually determined and approved by the province and municipalities would be cost shared on a 50/50 basis. 9 I \ '-. l c ; ') ~) ) / Completing the Transfer (continued) . Transfer Readiness: · Assessment of readiness for those UTMs and DAs who have not yet assumed responsibility will also be part of the upcoming consultation with municipalities. ' · Regional managers are working closely with the UTMs/DAs to help them prepare. As of this date, all but 2 areas have at least informally indicated their plans for selection of operators and the date on which they will assume responsibility. · Municipalities have responded to the challenge of providing land ambulance services to their citizens. 10 Looking Ahead: Governing the System · Looking ahead, we need to consider options to ensure continued strong and effective governance of the Land Ambulance System. · The Ambulance Act sets out the Minister's right to: - establish standards and ensure compliance; - monitor, inspect and evaluate services and investigate complaints; - appoint an authority to certify operators; - establish a council for the purpose of advising on matters respecting the provision of land ambulance service in the province. . The regulations under the Act now permit the adoption of standards by reference. · This new flexibility gives us an opportunity, through our partnership at LAISC, to recommend changes to the standards that govern ambulance operations. 11 \.. ( '- c '\ f '\ I ) Looking Ahead: Integration of Emergency Services . Some municipalities are interested in integrating fire and ambulance services as a way to reduce costs and response times. . Service integration can be challenging; for example, Edmonton originally integrated fire and ambulance services but it had to be dismantled after 4 years, largely due to labour issues, rising costs, worker dissatisfaction and poor service performance. . Our research shows that integration is most successful when it is initially limited to the sharing of core support services such as payroll, human resources, purchasing, fleet management and maintenance. . To achieve success at service integration, planners need to find creative ways of surmounting the barriers discovered in other jurisdictions. 12 Looking Ahead: First Response and Public Education . Lowered ambulance response times are important, but getting the public involved can also have a positive impact. . Laypersons can be effective "first responders" -- the people who are first at the scene of a medical emergency, prepared to provide life-saving intervention. · Several studies have shown the value of layperson first response; in Germany and parts of Scandinavia, a large portion of the population is certified in first aid, mandated as part of driver training. . A 1995 study in New York City demonstrated that bystander CPR is associated with a threefold to fourfold increase in survival rate. . Some organizations within Ontario are now encouraging school boards to make CPR a credit course. c ( 13 (- ) ~, ) ~, \ ! In Closing · We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with municipalities as we resolve transition issues through the joint AMO-MOHL TC Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee. · We remain committed to working with municipalities to achieve a seamless transition that provides quality land ambulance services to Ontarians. 14 (~ \ cornrn unity emergencY lIIIedical services and file OPAL..5 studY presented bY Ian stie/l liliO, IIIISc, FRCPC Association of Municipalities of ontario ottawa, ontariO AUgust 14, 2000 (~ - - II Community Emergency Medical Services and The OPALS Study \ - G; overview.

Secondly, the public has made significant investments in the construction, maintenance, and operation of the municipal infrastructure and expects that municipal representatives be re- sponsible stewards of those investments. They want more rigor and transparency in deci- sion-making, in both criteria and processes. They expect govemment's asset management process to be objective and transparent, and that govemment be able to objectively prove in a way that can be audited by an extemal body that: . the total community costs of ownership, operation and maintenance are minimal; . the assets are being managed in an economic way consistent with their function and to socially acceptable levels; and . the impacts and implications of current and future constraints are well accounted for. Thirdly, organized bodies such as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) also demanded that govemment use Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures (GAAP) when reporting on the infrastructure expenditures; govemment accepted to comply with those demands and is yet to deliver on that promise. Although municipal bodies and representatives do recognize that the public is holding them accountable, the situation requires more than just recognition. In order to meet the above public expectations, certain steps and measures now need to be introduced, and practices and processes need to be reviewed and modified where required. Asset management offers a business framework that goes beyond the engi.neering and economic management of the infrastructure: it addresses the steps and measures that municipalities now need to think about and introduce into their system in order to satisfy their demanding environment. Fourthly, technological advancements that have taken place in computer technology, sen- sors and communications have put new pressures on how we do our business. Advance- ment in computation has allowed for the development of sophisticated analytical tools, faster computation and made finding quick answers to the nebulous ,and frequently raised "what if questions possible. Sensor technology advancements have increased the spectrum of tech- nologies that could be used for measurement of conditions. Besides the traditional methods of light, sound and mechanical motion, we now have the new technologies of lasers, radia- tion (e.g. x-rays), ultrasound and radars added to our tools in field operations. Advance- ments in communication technology has shrunk both distance and time: we can sense con- ditions. such as weather and frost condition in pavements, as they happen, from the office, without sending staff to the field; computers can quickly assess the observed conditions and suggest solutions through expert systems and artificial intelligence. Such speedy interaction between operators. infrastructure and computers has given a boost to the efficiency of op- erations. If we do not make use of such advancements our productivity will fall behind - a situation that leads to economic waste and deterioration. Fifthly, another major extemal change is the movement towards privatization and partner- ships that exposed long-lain management problems that need to be addressed. Under the old system, monopolies enjoyed a comparatively protected environment and relied on local comparisons with other agencies sharing the same value system. The new environment demands disclosure of key information that was not essential under the old set up. For ex- ample, funding agencies or partners are generally interested in items such as the real value of the assets, rate of retum, risks & liabilities, operational efficiency, economic-tradeoff choices, and whether community support is there. " .J '-........-/ ASSET MANAGEMENT: OVERVIEW, COMPONENTS, PRINCIPLES .r-' I '. Before discussing asset management, I would like to develop a common reference to what an asset is. In a physical sense, an "asset" is "something that is owned by a specified person or firm; confers or is expected to confer an economic benefit to its owner; and can be given a value in terms of money". This definition is important because the term asset is sometimes used to mean something intangible such as one's knowledge and skill since it brings some future benefit to its owner but cannot be assigned a monetary value and, at other times, it is used as a plural to mean the moneys of a company, such as in the accounting discipline. Asset management is essentially a business and decision making framework which ap- proach depends on analyzing economic trade-offs between various bundles of imestment as a ",,,,a,,.. to make decisions where to invest. In a more formal sense, "asset management" can be defined as "a continuous process of decision- making related to all aspects of the assets aimed at generating programmed and purposeful management strategies and actions that ensure the assets achieve their performance objectives. Such strategies and actions are normally developed within the context of available funding level, government service ob- ligations to the public, and environmental preservation and sustainable devel- opment objectives". .~'" Asset Management Process The process is driven by community values and expectations. Hence the first step is to iden- tify those values and expectations and translate them into performance measures that will serve as aid to staff and executives in evaluating actions and decisions. Asset performance can then be assessed against those performance measures. The second step in the process is to ensure that a comprehensive database is available. Such database would include an inventory of the assets, their condition, their usage, main- tenance history, asset value, among other parameters. This database is used to prepare summaries for communication with the public, forecast future performance with the aid of mathematical models, and for historical monitoring and evaluation. The third step is forecasting tuture performance and generating alternative courses of action within the context of government policy. Alternatives can be automatically generated using models based on expert opinion surveys, decision trees or other methods. The fourth step is assessing the impacts and implications of each generated option and the choice of the "best" strategy - best being defined as the one that achieves the highest re- sults on the desired objectives while minimizing risks and liabilities to the public, within the constraints set by govemment (e.g. budget). There are four types of impacts that need to be considered: . Agency impacts such as funding requirements, tax levy, revenues, risk and liability; . Community benefits impacts such as those related to quality of life, safety and security, environment, mobility; . Development impacts such as economic and sustenance; and . User impacts such as safety and user costs. ,....--. I . ded.ott witn eacn otner using eCo- .. '" """"'" "'" ,,,,,,,,,,,",, "", .. . ""..... a'" "'" ",.

Meet public expectations in terms of service levels and govemment objectives in terms of economic development and sustainability . Minimize life-cycle costs . Maximize value of the asset . Ensure minimal risk to the public . Justify the asset portfolio in terms of business needs 15. Govemment should maintain a reliable inventory of its assets, supported by an efficient and timely monitoring of performance, usage and potentiai contribution to societal wel- fare. '.--..,/ Benefits Implementing asset management business framework promises numerous benefits to all stakeholders because it deals with the tE!chnical decisions within the overall context of gov- emance and customer service expectations - not in isolation. Focusing on the agency, the following specific benefits can be expected: 1. Reduced short-term and long-term costs Due to the choice of most cost-effective solution within the life cycle of the assets, eco- nomic waste is reduced. It can be demonstrated that optimization requires less re- sources to accomplish the same results than using practice driven approaches. 2. Improved quality of action program Agencies have more than one objective to accompliSh. Pursuing each objective sepa- rately creates lots of waste. Optimization considers al/ objectives and constraints simul- taneously and that is the reason why it is the most efficient way to handle multi-attribute decisions. " 3. Improved quality of decision-making and communication Currently information comes from numerous sources. When all information is consoli- dated into one spot, consistency, access and compatibility will be improved. Issue' con- solidation into one place improves coordination and documentation. I '>._-,,' 4. Produce better understanding and hence justification of program. Compliance with technical, institutional and Central agency requirements is bound to yield more sympathy and appreciation of needs. Its ability to handle .what if questions makes it much more credible than previous methods. Since asset management deals with essentials of management: maximize value to the community of the assets, mini- mize risk, and able to trade-off cost with performance, it generally can produce better justification of programs and faces less resistance from central agency and intemal op- erating units. ASSET MANAGEMENT MAKES SENSE AND SAVES MONEY Asset management is a business process and a decision-making framework that considers a broad range of assets together, over an extended time horizon, striving to accomplish the community values and its corresponding performance measures, and drawing on econom- ics, management science as well as engineering. , I . , ,~ .~'" Asset Management Makes Sense Asset management makes sense because it: . Is a decision framework that has a broad, futuristic, and sound base . Improves quality of decisions and action programs . Enhances coordination and handling of issues and information because it brings them to one place . Unifies various responsible units for management in terms of direction, philOSOphy and frame of mind . Allows decision makers to probe 'what if questions . Unifies the technical architecture of information base and builds on what exists (e.g. in- frastructure management) It Also Saves Money Asset management: . Reduces short- and long-terms costs . systematic ranking can save about 8-~2% in resource requirements from practice driven methods . Optimization saves between 18-22% in resource requirements from practice driven methods . Through data warehousing it can save some operating cost in the generation of scenar- ios needed to answer the "what if questions raised in public debate. Given the above benefits and advantages from implementing asset management. I strongly recommend adoption and implementation of sucl:l business framework. If nothing else mate- rializes, the consolidation of decision criteria and their test against public expectations and values to be protected would yield much required rationalization of decision-making and eq- uity afl\Ong taxPayers.

Action: Adopted atthe AMO Annual Conference on Monday, August 14, 2000 " ) '_/ Page 2 AMO Resolution # 00-002 Summary Information i~'~ ISSUE: ELECTRICITY RESTRUCtURING Background: Bill 100 received first reading on June 20, before the House recessed, The legislation re-writes the rules for municipal distribution entities and imposes a defacto moratorium on distribution rate increases until February 2003, Bill 100 presents the following impacts: . Lack of Level playing field: It targets a subset of the, distribution sector, namely those utilities that are owned by municipalities, and limits their ability to earn market-based rates of return, while at the same time allowing Hydro One to benefit from a lower cost of power than is offered to MEUs, This combination tilts the playing field significantly in favour of Hydro One. /- , [ . Uncertainty over market-based rate of return: It creates great uncertainty regarding when MEUs may adopt a market-based rate of return (MBRR). Without such certainty, efforts at mergers and public-private partnerships are severely frustrated, Partnerships and mergers were originally a clear goal of the Government. . Value of assets compromised: It could have the net effect of reducing the value of assets by as much as 50%, if municipalities conclude that their only course of action is to write down their asset value and is also expected to have a negative effect on the value of the asset on the open market. . Timing: Depending on when the House resumes to deal with the legislation and the outcome of the DEB generic hearing, the November 7th deadline for incorporation of MEUs is dangerously close. . End to Tax Exemption: The 33% transfer tax exemption when selling to Hydro One expires on the November th deadline, and there is great pressure on municipalities to sell to Hydro One before that date, particularly given the uncertainty of the value of their assets due to Bill 100. The Government has not made any statements about changing this tax exemption date, AMO and municipal representatives have had discussions atthe staff level concerning the issues. At the same time, the OEB is conducting its Generic Hearing on the Minister's Directive to the DEB, Municipalities and others have made submissions, and there are emerging common ideas for mitigating the impacts, Purpose of Resolution: (\ To support AMO's discussions to find solutions to Bill 1 00 and to call on the province to reimburse municipalities for their costs if Bi1I1 00 proceeds.

Action: Adopted as amended at the AMO Annual Conference on Monday, August 14, 2000. '.-.... ) Page 4 AMO Resolution # 00-003 Summary Information .r" ISSUE: WASTE DIVERSION Background: For nearly a decade, AMO has been urging various provincial government to address the issue of waste management financing, This issue must be addressed because Blue Box funding arrangements are not financially sustainable in the long term, and that an alternative must be sought which places a greaterfinancial responsibility on the producers. Since 1996, municipalities have been funding the Blue Box and other waste initiatives primarily on their own through property tax dollars, Previous attempts, including the Canadian Industry Packaging Stewardship Initiative (CIPSI) failed, On November 3, 1999, AMO and four industry groups along with the Minister of the Environment (MOE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing the Waste Diversion Organization (WOO), AMO's participation provides the municipal sector with representation on the WOO Board. The agreement sets up the WOO as a not-for-profit, non-capital share organization with a one- year term and involves $14 million in voluntary contributions from industry, The WOO is (/"". responsible for developing the criteria for the distribution of these monies toward municipal waste diversion activities, In addition, the Board is charged with preparing a long-term plan and funding formula to sustain waste diversion programs, including Blue Box, that meets the provincial target of reducing half the amount of waste sent for disposal. The WOO has done a great deal of work in a very condensed time line and has also undertaken consultation, data gathering, and municipal program support, A great numberof municipal elected and staff officials have been involved in every aspect of the WOO's work, Much progress has been made on designing a funding formula for the longer term and one that achieves a sustained commitment from the industry to waste management financing, While contributions to the WOO for year one have been on a voluntary basis, the WOO has already signaled to the Province that the best way to achieve sustainable funding and full industry participation is through a provincial regulation that creates a level playing field for the industry, Purpose of Resolution: To call on the Province to put in place a regulation that creates a level playing field for industry in terms of ensuring sustainable and efficient municipal waste diversion activities.

ISSUE: SOCIAL HOUSING DEVOLUTION, AFFORDABILlTY & RISK PROTECTION Background: The framework for municipal responsibility for social housing will be set out in a new statute and regulations expected some time this Fall. AMO, through its Social Housing Task Force, has worked hard to compile, document and communicate key municipal concerns to the Province providing the appropriate information for effective social housing legislation. The key municipal social housing concerns are: . That devolution legislation needs to address municipal-provincial risks relating to "contingent liability", and all transition costs; . That the devolution framework must identify foreseeable future repairs and the funding to meet anticipated costs since social housing cannot fund capital repairs through retained earnings or rent increases; . That emphasis be placed on the provincial responsibility to pass federal housing funding to municipalities where they assume overall risk; (' . That reasonable province wide program standards need to be implemented, which give municipalities the ability to adapt the program to local needs; . That municipalities must be provided with options for ownership and control of the pUblic housing which they provide the funding for, and legislation must set out a clear framework regarding rights of employees in public housing; . That the devolution legislation streamline the administration, providing the option of implementing the new financial model for consolidating the five main existing funding arrangements for social housing; . That municipalities and housing providers should be able to amend operating agreements by mutual consent as long as the provincial standards are met; . That municipalities need additional power to effectively create new housing by entering into agreements with private firms and to enforce housing affordability; and . That a full transfer of information should be executed on any projects that require special examination where special problems have arisen, (. Purpose of Resolution: To pressure the provincial government into protecting municipalities from all financial risks and incurred transition costs, as well as enhancing municipal powers to create affordable housing, Page 11 AMO Resolution # 00-006 " '---' I . SOCIAL HOUSING DEVOLUTION, AFFORDABILlTY & RISK PROTECTION WHEREAS the devolution offederal and provincial social housing stock puts municipal tax payers at risk by exposing them to the uncertainty of mortgage financing, insufficient capital costs/replacement reserves, contingent liability, increasing operating costs, unforeseeable regulatory changes such as the Ontario Building Code, and potential property and liability insurance among other matters; and WHEREAS municipalities require the necessary powers to carry out obligations and meet their corporate responsibilities; and WHEREAS municipalities will experience significant transition costs associated with the devolution of the federal and provincial social housing stock; and WHEREAS municipalities are facing extreme difficulty in creating new and preserving existing affordable housing; and WHEREAS the Province has not signalled its intent to municipalities to flow the remaining federal housing funds under the Federal-Ontario Social Housing Agreement; , ',,-/ THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT AMO calls on the Province to flow, in a publicly accountable manner, all federal social housing funds to municipalities to cover the present and future risks associated with Ontario's social housing stock; and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED THAT AMO seeks the province's concurrence to provide municipalities the needed powers and resources to increase the supply of new affordable housing and the powers to manage and preserve the affordable housing stock.

ISSUE: POST 2000 STRATEGY FOR THE 10.5.5 CAPPING PROGRAM Background: In December of 1998, the ProvinCe introduced Bill 79 to mitigate excessive tax increases in the multi-residential, commercial and industrial classes resulting from the new assessment and taxation system, The program that was introduced applies to the tax years of 1998, 1999 and 2000, A continuation of the existing 10-5-5 program, or a modification of it, requires legislative amendments. AMO, along with the municipal staff associations, Municipal Finance Officers Association of Ontario (MFOA), Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) and the Association of Municipal Tax Collectors of Ontario (AMTCO) are poised to submit a single position paper on tax capping in the post 2000 period. The Paper's recommendations build on the principle that business tax increases, which are an inevitable part of tax reform, must be phased-in over a reasonable period of time. Municipal leaders have no desire to endanger viable businesses with tax burdens that cannot be absorbed. The recommendations are based on the experience of municipalities with the existing program (" , and reflect a desire to implement a regime that will be easier to understand and administer, while at the same time offering protection against unreasonable tax increases, Purpose of Resolution: To promote an exit plan to the Province's 1 0-5-5 capping program that is sensitive to the various interest groups and that builds on the experience of municipal government with the existing capping program, (-.

Action: Adopted at the AMO Annual Conference on Monday, August 14, 2000. i j '..J Page 16 AMO Resolution # 00-009 Summary Information ,,/-" I ISSUE: PROVINCE-WIDE SMOKING POLICY Background: A number of municipalities have requested that AMO develop a policy position on a province-wide smoking policy, The attached AMO conference resolution is based on submitted resolutions, These municipalities acknowledge that such a resolution contradicts several long standing AMO policy principles of "local flexibility" and "one size does not fit aiL" Authority for passing tobacco control legislation is given by the Tobacco Control Act, 1994, Section 21 states, "The council of a local municipality may pass a by-law regulating the smoking of tobacco in public places and workplaces within the municipality and designating public places or workplaces or classes or parts of such places as places which smoking tobacco or holding lighted tobacco is prohibited." Tobacco control is also a mandated program under the Mandatory Health Programs and Services Guidelines that are published by the Minister of Health, pursuant to Section 7 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act, R.S.O.1990, (. Municipalities have communicated many arguments in support of a province-wide smoking policy, Highlights of these arguments include: improving community standards, where the majority of individuals are non-smokers; improving the protection from second hand smoke; the high costs related to health care resulting from exposure of smokers and nonsmokers to second hand smoke; direct research linking second hand smoke to cancer and heart disease; positive feed back from other jurisdictions that have implemented smoke-free by-laws or legislation; the need to protect workers within their workplaces from second hand smoke; and the need to provide a level playing field for all municipalities, Municipalities have also communicated many arguments against a province-wide smoking policy. These arguments include: the economic impacts of adapting to a province-wide policy, the possible negative impacts on the tobacco industry, the loss of local flexibility, the accepting of "one size fits all," the impact on the gaming industry, infringement on personal freedom, the need for an extensive enforcement protocol, and other associated costs of enforcing a province-wide standard, Purpose of Resolution: To develop an AMO position regarding a province-wide smoking policy, ---.

August 14. 2000. ..~ - Page 22 AMO Resolution # 00-012 Summary Information (~'" ISSUE: INTERDISCIPLINARY LAW ENFORCEMENT Background: Most bars, raves, clubs, nightclubs, all-age bars, and other establishments and businesses are legitimate law-abiding ventures. There are some, however, that present problems to communities and law enforcement. An "Interdisciplinary Enforcement Conference: Building Safer Communities" held in May promoted the use of all aspects of law enforcement' from each order of government to deal with problem businesses that are harbouring or generating illegal activities, The City of Toronto's "Project Almanza" which is closing down illegal strip bars operating as "booze cans" is a successful example of interdisciplinary enforcement. The project involves four police forces, the Proceeds of Crime unit, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, the OPP, the Victims' Assistance program (Ministry of the Solicitor General), the RCMP, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and the City of Toronto licensing department. Interdisciplinary enforcement in this case has resulted in over 600 charges, the revoking of two liquor licenses and one suspension with more anticipated. This approach has been used successfully in the taxi and Ie-- body shop industries and a biker club was closed down utilizing a multi-agency team. The club's building was demolished because it was deemed to be unsafe. It is felt that for this strategy to succeed, resources from all three orders of government need to be committed and co-ordinated. As well, operational procedures need to be established, so that the proper authorities and agencies are aware of problems. All appropriate legal enforcement tools can then be utilized. It is important to note that different municipalities have different law enforcement priorities, from motorcycle clubs, to illegal raves, to all-age bars serving alcohol to minors as well as bush parties. As with other issues, one size does not fit all, so this interdisciplinary initiative will be more effective if it is driven by local concerns and priorities. Purpose of Resolution: To call for support to the interdisciplinary enforcement initiative of those municipalities interested in participating in them, and to ensure that future initiatives reflect local concerns and priorities, ("".

What's at risk by using "usual" routines? How can we reduce this risk? (_ 1. WHAT MAKES SOME PUBLIC CONFLICT "UNUSUAL"? I . Council can face three types of unusual conflict: a sudden crises (no prior warning or information, e.g. spill, crime wave, etc); a lingering "hot" issues (traffic, garbage, etc; complicated, many unpopular options, many sides/interests); a outside proposals (e.g. a development proposal: single proponent interest, effecting many interests) . What makes them "unusual"? a doesn't fit neatly into routine processes or protocols; a triggers public sensitivities; a politicians don't have prior positions; a no prior public consensus; a public demands a solution; Council is expected to act (no obvious charnpion). '~" 2. WHAT ARE THE RISKS IN MANAGING AN UNUSUAL CONFLICt IN A USUAL WAY? . The conflict can escalate, creating instead of resolving conflict. . Council may lose control, as other jurisdictions surface. . The situation can become a political contest rather than a problem solving process. . The facts may never get out. . The public may blame rather than credit Council's leadership. 3. WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS IN SEEKING A BETTER APPROACH? . What is at stake? _ damage control (in sudden crises)? _ public pressure (to solve a lingering issue)? _ lost opportunity (of an outside proposal)? . Who should decide? if it is Council, do we have the facts? _ if it is others, how do we maintain our role? . What does the public need? _ recognition (not denial) of the problem _ clarity about who is doing what and when _ voice: the art of active listening _ leadership: knowing who is in control . First, get the process right: _ recognize that the situation is unusual _ announce a titting approach (to calm things down, to refocuS from the substantive until more can be understood, to buy time to get more facts and let interests emerge) _ Stick to the "game plan". 4.

ADMINISTRATIVE _ responding to requests for advice about envlronmental issues with inappropriate advice _ i.e. not telling a prospective purchaser of a property about the fact that the property was formerly a landfill site. In that instance there is a VERY REAL Possibility of a lawsuit from the purchaser due to the extra costs which would be incurred in making the land suitable for development or for a specific use. . REGULATORY _ exercising municipal authority to issue building permits and development approvals _ If building permits for residential buildings are issued for land clearly unsuited for proposed use - again - residentlal development located next to a waste disposal site. . Regulatory Liability _ p.tiministrative and regulatory orders are normally directed at the municipal corporation _ Breach of such order is a breach of the statute and consequently can become a personal environmental liability for the directors and officers ofthe corporation . Civil Liability _ This involves the breach of a common law duty of care or a contractual duty _ Generally, a director or officer - in the case for municipaliti.es - a Councillor or municipal staff person - will not face personal liJ.bility unless a court is satisfied that he/she participated or ordered the jirect ) .,..../ .J' ,....-.,/ 2 SPEAKING NOTES. ERIC JOHNSTON - AMO CONFERENCE - AUG. 15, 2000 , r'- cause of the damages in a deliberate manner and was aware of the , consequences of such actions · Quasi-Criminal Liability - This involves the breach of a statutory provision - Both the Environmental Protection Act and Ontario Water Resources Act contain provisions indicating that a person can be liable whether or not the corporation has been prosecuted. · Criminal Liability - In a very limited number of circumstances criminal code charges could result - For example, common nuisance, fraud or criminal negligence. r' · Statute or Regulatory Liability is one of the real concerns for municipalities that inherit or acquire brownfield sites. · For example, in regards to sites contaminated by pollution, the Provincial MOE can impose Clean-Up Orders or Director's Orders upon a municipality that is: · directly involved (i.e. being the owner) or indirectly involved with a Brownfield site; · (if the municipality of has care and control of the site); · or if the site happens to be in that municipality). I would direct you to: r-., ( " - section 97 of the EPA for more information about Clean-Up Orders; 3 SPEAKING NOTES - ERIC JOHNSTON - AMO CONFERENCE - AUG. 15,2000 - section 17 for Director's Remedial Orders; and ,~ - section 124 for Director's Control Orders. Although there are limitation periods relating to civil causes of action, there are no limitation ~~rinr1", for the issuance of preventative or remediation orders by government regulators. While it may not be possible to limit liability in all cases, it may be possible for a municipality to manage their exposure to liability. · Risk Management Three different approaches have been used by municipalities and Canadian business corporations to try to contain exposure to liability. · Agreements with Regulatory Body "-J - For sites with acute problems that need immediate attention, the first and most "nroactive" anproach is to directly approach the regulatory body _ in most cases, Ontario's Ministry of Environment. - The MOE has crafted a number of precedent "limited liability" agreements which may give municipalities and lending institutions limited protection against a Director of the MOE imposing environmentalliabiIity. · One of the most commonly-use Agreement related to brownfield sites, is the Agreement Concerning Environmental Investigations and Tax Sales. Signing an agreement with the MOE is just the beginning, however, since a municipality or lending institution will usually have to make other quite substantial undertakings outside of the Agreement in order to protect the environment.

The establishment of a pollution prevention system - including regular supervision or inspection of the municipality's business methods to ensure environmental compliance. . An awareness ofthe industry ,. or municipal - standard for the specific activity . . Periodic reporting by municipal staff to Councillor regarding the operation of a pollution control system and any substantial non- compliance with the law. . A review by municipal Councillors of the environmental compliance reports of the municipality. . Prompt addressing of environmental concerns - which may be brought to the attention of the municipality by its staff or any other concerned individuals. . And lastly, an immediate and personal reaction of both the councillors and Staff upon the notification of a failure of a pollution prevention system. Municipalities can avoid environmental liability by establishing pollution prevention and environmental compliance programs. These programs will assist in demonstrating to a court, that the municipality was duly diligent in attempting to prevent environmental infractions. Effective programs combine an ;1warenesl\..of the required standards for the municipality and a9t~(.ln 91ans that are reasonable in scope and resources.

Marshall Municipal Innovation Awards (the "Marshall Awards") Certificate of Merit in recognition of innovative achievement for its "Pre-Wetting: Anti-Icing" project. The Marshall Awards is an annual competitive process, with submissions by Ontario municipalities judged on their creativity and success in implementing new, more cost effective ways of providing public services and facilities. "These awards provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the creativity of Ontario's municipalities as they strive to deliver increasingly efficient, effective municipal services," said Michael Power, President of AMO. "The winning projects are providing real benefits to local communities from cost savings, to service improvements, to job creation," /...--,' The Region of Ottawa-Carleton's "Pre-Wetting: Anti-Icing" project has made winter roads safer with less salt. The Region first tested pre-wetting technology - which means a brine solution is sprayed onto the salt just as it hits the spreader, to make the salt stick to the road surface and work faster. Then they adapted it for use in the nation's capital. By combining pre-wetting with an innovative and sophisticated road weather information and forecasting system, the Region has improved the effectiveness and efficiency of their snow and ice control operations. "This winning project has led to safer roads, less salt, a healthier environment and reductions in the Region's operating and material costs," said Power, "It's a terrific example of progressive winter maintenance in a province where winter weather can be quite severe," Power further stated that it is a longstanding tradition for municipalities to share ideas and learn from each other. Five municipalities won the 2000 Marshall Awards, which included two plaques and three certificates of merit. The Awards were presented on August 15, at AMO's annual conference held at the Ottawa Congress Centre in Ottawa from August 13 to August 16. More than 1,700 municipal politicians and staff attended the conference. The awards are sponsored by AMO, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Municipal Finance Officers Association, the Association of Municipal Administrators, the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers and the Canada Council for Public-Private Partnerships.

The Marshall Awards is an annual competitive process, with submissions by Ontario municipalities judged on their creativity and success in implementing new, more cost effective ways of providing public services and facilities, "These awards provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the creativity of Ontario's municipalities as they strive to deliver increasingly efficient, effective municipal services," said Michael Power, President of AMO. (-" "The winning projects are providing real benefits to local communities - from cost savings, to service , improvements, to job creation." Eva's Phoenix, a converted warehouse in Toronto, offers "townhouse-style" living for 50 homeless youth. The youth are also involved in an employment training program sponsored by the corporate sector and labour partners. After living at Eva's Phoenix for up to one year, the youth have the employment and life skills to make the transition to an independent, self-sufficient life. Eighty-three percent of the youth who have gone through the program have found full time jobs, and 98 percent have secured their own housing. The City of Toronto donated the building and capital funds, and covers the facility's operating costs. "Affordable housing and homelessness are serious concerns to Ontario's municipalities," said Joan King, Councillor, City of Toronto, who accepted the award on behalf of the City. "Eva's Phoenix is a wonderfully successful program that can help homeless youth find their way by offering training and housing:' King further stated that it is a longstanding tradition for municipalities to share ideas and learn from each other.

This regulatory program was divested by MOE in 1998 and placed under the Ontario Building Code. although still subject to regulations under the Environmental ProtectIOn Act. Many municipalities entered inca agreements with private contractors, Conservation Authorities, or area Health Units for delivery of the program. Some municipalities opted to administer the program themselves using their Own staff. Remember. where there's septic systems - there .is generally wells, or water courses which may supply drinking water. This is a program which comes with surprising liability potential - cattle and hogs are not the only animal which pass E. Coli in its waste! 18 (Slide12) Inspection. An Official Visit When an MOE staff member appears at your doorstep you must recognize that they are there as PrOvincial Officers. with certain obligations to administer and enforce the environmental laws of the Province, This is not 'just a cup of coffee" visit. nor should it be interpreted as such. Provincial Officers have exceptional powers to sample, examine, and determine compliance with legislation. 19 (Slide13) An Investigation - What's The Difference? '~" An investigator is also a Provincial Officer - but they have a much different role, Whereas an "Abatement" or other MOE staff member is there to determine compliance and assist in bringing voluntary measures forward - and investigator is there to determine whether a violation has occurred that warrants prosecution. Before ,this visit - "Abatement" staff may have tried the voluntary approach. They may have issued warning letters or Field Orders. Y OUf obligation is to co-operate with the investigations, however there are practical limitations available to you as a potential witness or defendant. For instance as a potential defendant - you have a right to legal counsel during an interview with an investigator and you are not required to sign admissions or statements unless YOll want to. 20 ( Slide 14 ) What is Due Diligence As with all laws in Canada, the Charter of Rights & Freedoms applies, This means that you are protected from incriminating yourself and have the right to legal representation, The onus is on the Crown to prove the offense "beyond a reasonable doubt". With environmental offenses this MUST include an element of fault. This component is often the best means of protection for a potential defendant. Due Diligence means showing that you were taking all the steps necessary to comply or prevent the infraction from occurring III the first place, The test can be summed up as " What would a reasonable person have done to prevent this offence from occurring?" Municipalities can " prosecution- proof" themselves, to some extent. by preparing strong due diligence arguments and by implementing responsible environmental practices in advance. But these policies and actions must be documented before events ovenake you. ?'" ; , I EnPro Associates Remarks of; Mark McKenney (416)483 -5438 PrinCIpal: David Kerr (613) 476 - 1985 AUgust l5, 2000 , ,~ New Rules for water ASsociation of "Muniei?"lities of ontariO " ( SOd"" .... .' ..' <0<<""''''''''''''''''' M'''' .....

The Growth Strategies Reassessment /' Task Force that was appointed recommended that a .state vision for growth management should be developed (unheard of in the U.S. !); That state funding and permitting should be used as an incentive to encourage compliance with state planning and growth management requirements. A key component of the renewal strategy has been the involvement of Atlanta's business and commwrity leaders in helping to manage and direct future growth through a number of agencies, such as the Atlanta Development Authority and the Central Atlanta Progress Partnership. It has been recognized that a healthy partnership between government and the private sector is vital to the successful implementation ofa sustainable development strategy. Today, Atlanta, with State help, is building mass transit, having redirected all monies from roads to transit systems, and is focusing on the redevelopment of older inner city industrial areas into new residential and mixed-use areas at higher densities to counter sprawl and to bring back population into the City of Atlanta proper, which throughout this period had been losing population despite the unprecedented population boom in the suburbs. The Clinton/Gore Initiative /r--, A second and pivotal defining moment came when the Federal Administration decided to step in to assist U.s. cities reposition themselves for the 21st Century. Under the title "Liveable Cornmunities for the 21st Centurv". the Clinton/Gore administration crystallized the issues that faced American cities going into the 21st Century and what the Federal Government, in conjunction with state and local governments, needed to do about it. The initiative was announced by Vice President Al Gore in a speech at the Brookings Institution in S...p~...mber 1998, and is credited with coining the phrase "Smart Growth", which has since become the banner around which all the major cities and all 50 states have rallied to reshape their cities. The speech by Gore began by asking the rhetorical question of why it was that America's cities and America had lost its way in creating and shaping its urban fabric. "This Nation's cities and villages used to be a model of civil life," said gore. "We were the experts at creating the gathering places, the very architecture that set the stage for democracy". As American's cities grew in the late 19th Century ''their life took the vibrant shape of America" and "as the 19th Century drew to an end, America looked around at its new wealth and diversity, and the City beautiful movement was inaugurated: proud civic buildings, libraries and post offices, town halls and colleges, parks and recreation areas, ornate commercial buildings, and statuary, all proclaimed to the world that [we] had plenty to be proud off'. But somewhere after the second half of the 20th century, he noted, that vibrancy and greatness became tarnished, with urban cores emptied out, ill-thought out sprawl, and crime and disorder haunting many central cities. (~ What followed in his speech was a blueprint for reversing the trend through federal, state and local government policies, involving local citizens and local cornmwrity groups, and coalescing into one American movement. "Americans are resourceful people", he said. "while the blight of poor development and its social consequences have many names, the solutions, pioneered by local citizens, are starting to coalesce into an American movement. Some called it "sustainability"; some called it "Smart Growth". This movement across the country is showing 4 '" _ w, "" .,,;)d _ \i_" =uniti'" ...."" w, "" - "'" .;;& ",d - "'" .Iay togotbd'. j ",<< on"''''''.'' lie "",,,, ,bo" ..

Maryland, Georgia and Oregon have gone further and legislated that no money can be spent."J on any services, roads, sewers or other infrastructure that is outside the approved urban growth boundaries. The Federal and State governments have redirected massive amounts of highway funds from highway construction to transit. Federal Government has acknowledged that its 1954 Highways Act has been the root cause of sprawl in America, and needs to be reversed. San Diego has a $24.6 billion comprehensive transportation plan, including rail, transit, buses and roads. Greater Atlanta has indicated that it will not build any additional freeways, transferring its full budget to transit. Cities are redirecting development and housing to their cores and older inner neighbourhoods. San Diego, Baltimore, Cleveland, even Pittsburgh, Miami (South Beach) are all good examples. plonnin~ has gone regional and city regions are doing "Strategic Growth Plans", and they do it in a smart and cost efficient way. The Envision Utah Strategic Plan for Salt Lake City is a good example, because it also shows the involvement of the general public in the plonn~,; development process, and the cost analyses that'.-.../' are at the centre of the growth scenarios being considered. Higher densities are being proposed and achieved, and great architecture IS springing up as a result. the entire CBD of San Diego, and especially Horton Plaza is a great Fv~m~le. mixed uses or a greater mix of uses are proposed in neighbourhoods, to create identifiable co=unities and increase density the ''New Urboni.Tn" concept in housing, which started in San Francisco and California is one of the results of smart growth (and we now see it corning to Toronto on the old Woodbine Racetrack site, in the beaches, in Cornell, Markham). Brownfields redevelopment is occurring in most cities, particularly the brownfields sites in city cores and in older neighbourhoods. Atlanta's Atlantic steel 140-acre redevelopment is cited by the EP A as a model example of urban redevelopment of a brownfield to appropriate environment sto,.,clo~ds.

May I express my thanks to all of you once again for attending the 101s1 AMO conference in the Region of Ottawa-Carleton. To every member of the organizing committee - Great Job! '----" I want to thank you for your support yesterday and I am truly honoured to be the President of this century old organization. I must also thank my Council for their support of my candidacy as AMO President. Their help and encouragement have been invaluable. I also must acknowledge Michael Power who, for the past three years, set a new standard for dedication and commitment to this organization. We have a very strong and talented Board of Directors this year. The Board is made up of a good cross-section of our membership - large and small, urban and rural, north, east, south and west. The Board is your representative - make sure you contact them and express your views. A complete contact list will be faxed to each member and posted on Municom after the conference. The strength of the Board and the sector in general will be needed in the months and year ahead. I have asked Roger Anderson, Chair of Durham Region to continue co-chairing the Land Ambulance Implementation Steering Committee and to be the AMO lead on resolving the funding questions and he has agreed. We have seen massive change to the form and function of municipal government. Today there are three realities - Death, Taxes and Change. (. I . This is the last AMO conference for many municipal elected folk and their contribution to their communities is applauded. Many of those left after the inaugural meeting in December 2000 will be given a lot more work to do. We are just beginning to see the impact of restructuring and Who Does What. Only history will tell us if these changes have been positive. What I am sure about is that it AMO is unsuccessful in our bid to hold the Province accountable to their funding resDonsibilities for welfare and nn'~ 2 other income redistributive programs... the next economic down turn will be counter productive to the substainability of community quality of life of the people we serve. ~-~/ But one thing is clear. Ontario's municipalities have become the most relevant and important order government in Canada. You noW deliver the most important and fundamental services to the taxpayer. Everything from police and fire protection, to administering provincial offences systems, public housing, community services, land ambulance, economic development, planning, the list seems to go on and on. Our challenge, as a sector, is to begin to communicate this to our taxpaying public. To engage them in the debate of which order of government should pay for what services, why, and what financial ~XDosures continue to, incorrectly be funded at the municipal level. Uploading must not only become the buzz word of this new millennium. It must become a reality and soon. The substainabi/ity and well being of each municipality and each citizen in north, south, east, west - town, city, village, county or region depends on this happening. While WDW and restructuring have occurred, there is one critical part of the puzzle which has been left out. That is a basis. or framework for all of this change. As many of you will recall, Who Does What was to have, as its framework, a new Municipal Act. This legislation was to finally define the .~./ provincial-municipal relationship and serve as the foundation for change. This has not happened yet. Minister Clement's commitment yesterday is Y!ID{ aDDrooriate and Michael Power's response on the time line, implementation January 1, 2001 is even more so. I therefore pledge to immediately begin work to complete this project. I will be meeting with Premier Harris and Minister Clement in the next 30 days. My goal is an ambitious one - I hope to see a new relationship built upon a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation and enshrined in a new Municipal Act. We have many more challenges to meet and I look forward to seeing you in your communities during my term as your new President of AMO. Thank you. I -,--./
