REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: CLAYTON WATTERS, MANAGER ENGINEERING SERVICES 1998 ROAD OCCUPANCY PERMIT FOR COUNTY ROADS OCTOBER 27 SUBJECT: DATE Introduction County Road right-of-ways are used for many purposes beyond transportation These corridors are the home for a variety of drainage and utility infrastructure. Water lines, gas lines, sanitary sewers, telephone cables and fibreoptics, cable TV, storm sewers and municipal drains are typically located on County Road property. It is the responsibility of the County Engineering Services Department to monitor all work on County Roads. As the owner, the County reduces liability and damage to its infrastructure with effective and efficient "corridor control". Discussion During a typical month the Engineering Services Department processes and approves approximately a dozen requests to work on County property which usually involves crossing a County Road with a service or utility. Although most utility companies understand typical Elgin County Road requirements special conditions sometimes apply. These requests usually omit information such as date of commencement/completion, exact location, duration of work and restoration methods. These requirements must then be stated in each and every piece of correspondence in an inefficient process Most importantly safety issues are seldom discussed. When the County grants approval to work on Road property it also assumes liability to some extent. A signed permit stating all conditions and requirements would shift liability to the applicant and minimize risk to the County. This "Road Occupancy Permit" would also create an excellent paper trail for work on County Roads. All approved permits would be faxed to that Municipality's Road Superintendent to inform them of who will be doing work, what will be done, where it will take place, when the work will start and end, and that the County has approved this work. In some situations road work has been completed before County staff realizes it has taken place. In maintaining the County Road system, local road staff must question work being done on County Roads by other agencies. This permit will inform them if a contractor has permission to be there or not. 2 .f 4 1 .. Page 2 REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: CLAYTON WATTERS, MANAGER ENGINEERING SERVICES 1998 OCTOBER 27 DATE ROAD OCCUPANCY PERMIT FOR COUNTY ROADS SUBJECT: Conclusion The County would manage corridor control more efficiently and effectively with a Road Occupancy Permit. A permit would minimize risk from actions, claims, suits and demands made against the County from work completed by others on County property and shift liability to the applicant. Most other counties and municipalities have a similar By-Law in place. A nominal fee would be charged to individuals and private companies to process the permit which may require a field inspection before and/or after the work. The fee will be waived for certain utility companies, government agencies and for the purpose of Municipal Drainage work. I estimate revenues of approximately $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 per year. In an effort to minimize duplication and become more efficient it would be beneficial to combine the existing Entrance Permit with the new Road Occupancy Permit for their intent is identical. Conditions for Entranceways are simplified and included on the reverse of the permit along with the General Conditions for road occupancy. This combined form is easier to use and understand and will hopefully answer many of the typical questions this office receives (i.e "who pays for the culvert pipe ?"). A draft co. of the proposed permit is attached for your consideration. of Recommendation That staff be authorized and directed to prepare a By-Law for the issuance and enforcement a Road Occupancy Permit for work on County Road right-of-ways including the alteration or construction of an entranceway onto a County Road. /pmd file: c_rdperm.doc MARK IALD COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR/CLERK SO (, 1 RESPECTFULL Y SUBMITTED fA CLAYTON D.

A year later, senior County staff also honoured the dress code. tunics and crests for the County Councillors. the Reeve Elliott reported on "Counci At some point in time thereafter, Council developed and approved a set of Policies" which included the following article on ties: Crests and Ties "County crests and ties, supplied to Councillors and Officials, should be expected to last at least three years, without having to be replaced. Anyone requiring a replacement prior to the end of the three years will be required to purchase it at actual cost. Officials shall not be provided with a tie or crest until their probationary period has been fulfilled." Count Conclusion: The County Dress Code has been in existence as a Council policy since 1963. The Dress Code, like all Council policies, can be amended or revoked by majority vote of County Council. Council should be advised that enforcing said policy is limited to "peer pressure". If members of Council refuse to abide by the policy, there is little Council can do to force compliance. Keeping that in mind, however, anyone who chooses to ignore a policy sets a dangerous precedent. That is, if one policy is ignored, then others could choose to ignore other policies. Council would not work in harmony and the system of governance could eventually break down nformation This is for your 32 Respectfully submitted, Mark G McDonald REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Mark G.

This demonstration of solidarity behind the Toronto application will have strong implications throughout the World and particularly in the minds of the International Olympic Committee delegates who will make the final decision. After Toronto is chosen in 2001 to host the Summer Olympic Games, we can be assured that Ontario, as a whole, will benefit economically and socially.

The 45 communities inside Quebec that have passed resolutions now have the support of 152 communities outside of Quebec. The message of Canada Indivisible, namely that Canada belongs to every Canadian is likewise the message of al Canadians that we met during our recent 15,000 mile zig zag across every province and territory of the nation. The August 20 th Supreme Court ruling echoes that sentiment. Canadians really do want to keep tills nation together. Canadians really do appreciate and respect their French speaking brothers and sisters in Quebec. Canadians really do appreciate that our country is enriched by having 2 of the great languages of the world. We have informed the Prime Minister that, to date, 152 communities (in every province & territory and representing 4,660,924 Canadians) across the nation, have passed the Canada Indivisible unity resolution. In essence, Canadians everywhere, are saying, "Yes, Mr Chretien, you have a responsibility to keep tills nation together. You have a responsibility to protect the right of Quebecers to remain in Canada, come what may". Apart from the Prime Minister's Office, we have also informed the following of the action taken by Canadian municipalities: *your provincial municipal umbrella association, *all political party leaders of your province, *all federal MPs. The hope of Canada Indivisible is that it will never be necessary to work out the partition of Quebec. But the separatists must know that separation never was and never will be an option. Separation is partition _ partition of Quebec. But for Canada Indivisible and for all Canadians, separation / partition would be disastrous. Our sincerest wish is that Quebec and all of Canada will remain One Nation, Indivisible. We cannot, today, define every threat that tomorrow may hold. Mr Bouchard knows that ifhe cannot have a winning referendum now, he will do the next best tillng which is to support the 'social union'. The fabric of Canada will have been so weakened that he will have accomplished his 'new nation' without the need for a referendum. If the people of Quebec will not give him ills new nation, then the people of Canada will give him that new nation, We hope that you will assist us by informing other communities in your province or territory about the Canada Indivisible unity resolution. The resolution is available in French and English. Councils are asked to send a copy of their resolution to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien (House of Commons, Centre Block, Room 309 - S, Ottawa, ON, KIA OA6) and to Canada Indivisible. Canada Indivisible is a non partisan grass roots voluntary organisation without financial funding other than that provided by its membersillp. Our literature is available in French and English. Thank you, and thank you for help for a Canada Indivisible. l>L~k;~ . Sincerely Roy Stewart, Chairman CANADA INDIVISIBLE that have (2) statistics re communities in your province,or territory 42 Attachments - (1) Suggested CI Unity Resolution. passed the support resolution. Dated WHEREAS Whereas the electors of a great many of the Quebec communities have voted by substantial majorities to reject Quebec separation, both in 1980 and 1985 (and also in the Federal election oOune 22/97); Whereas, since,the Quebec referendum of Oct 30195, the councillors and mayors of 40 Quebec' municipalities have passed resolutions stating that they would wish to remain in Canada regardless of the outcome of any future referendum in Quebec; Whereas a first responsibility of governments Whereas the citizens of its citizens; is to protect Unity Resolntion of the City of in the have a strong sense of respect for the residents of Quebec and are deeply comriùtted to support their French and English brothers and sisters Province of Quebec; Whereas any separation of a part of Canada would have very serious consequence for all Canadians; Whereas the indivisibility of this nation has been called into question; Whereas Canada is the democracy and any change to the borders of Canada would necessitate Constitutional Amendment that was supported by all Canadians; Whereas municipal and provincial governments are democratic institutions but they are not democracies; Whereas the question of national unity needs to be settled, swiftly and decisively, for Canadians and for all the world. BE IT RESOLVED That the Council of the Ci! Town 1 Village 1 communi! of. hereby petitions the Government of Canada and the federal parties of Canada to enact legislation that would Ensure that the territories ofthose communities in the Province of Quebec that wish to remain in Canada shall remain in Canada, and this without regard to the result of any future referendum in the Province of Quebec. Remind the Government of Quebec and the people of Quebec that referenda are not legally binding, Canada is the democracy and therefore all Canadians must participate in any negotiation to change the seizure of power by any province, that boundaries of Canada. Enable .the Government of Canada to deal territory or other jurisdiction in Canada. Remind Canadians that the Government of Canada has a legal and moral with any unlawful responsibility to protect person and property. Confirm, in Parliament, that Canada is One Nation, Indivisible. Support continued efforts to create better understanding amongst all Canadians. Jean And that, The City Clerk will distribute copies of this resolution to the Prime Minister of Canada, M.

DEC The Honourable Ernie Eves Minister of Finance, Frost Building S., 7th Floor, 7 Queen's Park Crescent, TORONTO, ON M7A 1Y7 Honourable Sir: 1998 At its December 1st Session, Grey County Council discussed the ramifications of Bill 79. We certainly understand the need to support those relatively few properties Province wide that need assistance. We are concerned that the proposed Bill does not necessarily achieve the result that the Government is looking for. We are also concerned that the Bill is incomplete and unworkable, not to mention extremely costly to implement. As a result, Council passed the following motion: Fairness for 79 Re: Bi WHEREAS it is recognized that on a Province wide basis a small group of properties may need relief from the implementation of reassessment and property tax reform AND WHEREAS the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has developed a panel to review the situation and make recommendations to provide the necessary relief; AND WHEREAS Bill 79 appears to be incomplete and unworkable and does not necessarily target the properties that need assistance AND WHEREAS the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, the Municipal Finance Officers' Association of Ontario and the Association of Municipal Tax Collectors of Ontario have jointly opposed in principle Bill 79 in its entirety; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Grey requests that the Government immediately withdraw Bill 79; 54 The Honourable Ernie Eves, Decernber 3", 1998 Page 2 AND THAT the Province resume discussions with AMO's municipal expert tax panel to develop solutions that meet the Government's policy objectives.

ROY MAIN City Administrator Thomas Corporation of the City of St. 1998 December 30 Mr. M. McDonald, Administrator/Clerk County of Elgin 450 Sunset Dr. St.Thomas, ON N5R 5VI Dear Mr. McDonald: Re: London-Middlesex-Waste Service Area I have recently forwarded you a copy of our request to the LondonlMiddlesex Waste Management Master Plan Committee for inclusion of both Elgin County and St. Thomas within it's service area. 1998 adopted the following recommendations: "That we authorize a request to the London/Middlesex Waste Management Master Plan Committee for the inclusion for Elgin County and the City of St. Thomas within it's service area and further that Elgin County Council be requested to forward a similar resolution to the London/Middlesex Waste Management Team." at it's meeting of November 16, City Council In reference to the later part of the above motion, it would be appreciated if Elgin County would make a similar consideration of such a resolution. I am enclosing a copy to the report tendered to City Council as possible back-up infonnation for your own inquiry. RM/ts '-....-" ~ .' Staff have conveneå a meeting with representatives of the London Staff in charge of the Master ,. Plan process and were advised the City/County request for inclusion would be favourably received subject to the approval of the London and Middlesex Councils, The timing for such a request is now given the stage that London/Middlesex is at with their Master Plan Waste Management Master Planning is an extremely long term process with a minimum 20 year horizon for approvals. While the City has a satisfactory contract, it is prudent that the City and County maintain all its options and respectfully request inclusion in the London/Middlesex service area, Whether the landfill is ever accessed by either the County or City is immaterial The City of London and County of Middlesex are presently in the throws of the preparation of a Waste Management Master Plan. The current certificate of approval from the Ministry does not permit Elgin and St, Thomas to utilize the London Landfill which was the problem in 1991 and forced the City and County to export its waste at a much higher cost, As London/Middlesex are pursuing their own expansion and a Master Plan leading to an amended Certificate of Approval, the timing is appropriate for the City and County to be included within their revised service area Such action would enable both municipalities to access the site in the future The Technical Committee is of the opinion that the request to be included within the service area for the London/Middlesex Waste Management Plan should still be sought notwithstanding the Green Lane approval. Such action in no way reflects upon the City's ability to honour its contractual arrangements with Green Lane Prior to the favourable approval of the Ministry of the Environment to the Green Lane expansion Staff Were requested for identify several options and alternatives should that approval not have materialized, One of the key options was to seek the approval to utilize London's W12A Landfi on the west side of Wellington Road Report: That the City authorize a request to the London/Middlesex Waste Management Master Plan Committee for the inclusion of Elgin and St, Thomas within their service area, and funher that Elgir.!. County Council be requested to fOlWard a similar resolution to the London/Middlesex Waste Mà~gement Study Team.
