Overhead is charged against the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission Roads on a
percentage basis of the cost of construction and maintenance on the St. Thomas
Suburban Road Commission Roads, as a percentage of all construction and maintenance
on both St. Thomas Suburban Roads and County Roads (Urban Rebates, Equipment
Purchases, Drainage Assessments, Items Not For Subsidy, etc., are not considered
in determining the overhead percentage). In 1990 as in 1989 the Overhead charge to
the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission was 8\.
(*Note: Not all Overhead items are charged against the St. Thomas Suburban Roads.)
MISCELLANEOUS
1. Rebates to Town of Aylmer and various Villages of 25\ of their Road Levy
(subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation at 50\) is $112,102.34.
2. Payroll Burden costs including labour totalled $730,463.79 in 1990 and were
distributed in accordance with Ministry of Transportation standard practices to the
various operations and equipment repair, etc.
This was distributed by computer at a rate of 39\ on labour. The difference between
the actual cost and the amount distributed by computer was $40,584.99 and is shown
as a credit against Overhead (County and St. Thomas Suburban). (Actual Rate was
36.93\)
3. The large Deferred Time Credit arose as a result of a large amount of Winter Control
time worked in December 1989. The balancing amount was charged to Winter Control
time in 1989. Most of this credit was taken in 1990 and thus appears as a charge.

A. K. FORD, CHAIRMAN
COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
FIRST REPORT
JANUARY 16, 1991 SESSION
TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN COUNCIL
YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Nearly all invoices for materials, etc., have been paid from the
1990 Budget and 1990 will end on a positive financial basis.
2. No Ministry of Transportation of Ontario subsidy allocations or
spending level limits for 1991 have been received. We are not
hopeful of receiving these allocations before the end of January,
however a 1991 Budget is being considered.
We have been advised by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario
that our assessment base has been set at 757 million dollars for
1991 which is approximately 10.5% higher than our 1990 assessment
base of 686 million dollars which in turn was an increase of 6.7%
from 1989. This is an increase in property inflation values rather
than in real property growth and will result in an increased County
share of the spending level limit that the Ministry sets.
It is not known as yet if any grants for special anti-,recession
projects or supplementary road projects will be available.
3. The contribution of the City of St. Thomas toward the St. Thomas
Suburban Road Commission has been set at $73,700 for 1991 which is
a 17.4% increase over last year (after the annexation).
4. That the County Engineer has been authorized to attend the following
conventions and/or meetings:
(a) Ontario Good Roads Association Annual Convention.
(b) Municipal Engineers Annual Meeting in conjunction with the
Ontario Good Roads Association Convention.
(c) Transportation Association of Canada Convention.
(d) Ontario Municipal Engineers Annual Workshop.
(e) Suburban Road Commissions Annual Meeting.
5. The Assistant Engineer has been authorized to attend the following
conventions and/or meetings:
(a) Ontario Good Roads Association Convention.
(b) Municipal Engineers Annual Meeting in conjunction with the
Ontario Good Roads Association Convention.

WE RECOMMEND:
1. The honorarium for the County's member on the St. Thomas Suburban
Road Commission, Mr. Albert Auckland, be $175.00 per annum for the

3. That a resolution be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to
submit to the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario the petition of
the County of Elgin for subsidy on road expenditures made on the
County of Elgin road system from January 1, 1990 to December 31,
1990.

RE: St. Thomas Suburban Roads Commission - City Representative
Dear Bob:
The City's Representative on the Suburban Roads Commission, Mr. Donald
Stokes, is authorized to attend the Ontario Good Roads Association
Annual Convention, the Annual Meeting of the Suburban Road Commissions
of Ontario, and any other appropriate meetings, with the usual
expenses, mileage, etc. paid in accordance with the County's policy.
It would be appreciated if you would bill the City for the direct
costs incurred by our City Representative in the usual manner.
The honorarium for the City's Representative on the St. Thomas Suburban
Roads Commission is to be $175.00 per annum for 1991, which corresponds
with that paid by the County for it's representative. Funds are
being allocated in our 1991 budget estimates for these items in the
total of $1,200.00 which I trust will be satisfactory.
\
I would appreciate any comments you have with respect to the foregoing.

Dear Mr. Leverton:
Re: Ministerial Adjusted Assessments for .Cities and Separated Towns -
Pursuant to Section 68(3) of the Public .Transportation and Highway
ImDrovement Act (Suburban Roads . Commissions)
The 1992 Ministerial Adjusted Assessment (MAA) value for each city or
separated town situated within your County is noted on the attached
calculation sheet.
Pursuant to Section 68(3) of the Public Transportation and Highway
Improvement Act, the MAAmust be used in determining the 1992 limiting
,contribution of each city and separated town to its associated Suburban
Roads Commission.
MAA values were derived from base assessment data provided by the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and have been calculated as 0.203 times the
total weighted equalized assessment (where the discount factor of 0.203
simply indexes the values to their pre 1983. levels), times a growth factor
which reflects the inflation rate and growth in total assessment, relative to
1991. Should you wish details on this growth factor, please contact either
the undersigned or Paul Waterman at (705) 235-8691.

Re: The St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission
The Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act states
that the term of office of every member of the Suburban Road
Commission expires with the 31st day of January of the year
following the next municipal election held after his appointment
and his successor shall be appointed after the Council elected in
that election assumes office.
Your member on the Commission is Mr. Donald R. Stokes and
his term of office expires on January 31, 1992. Thus, we request
your Council to appoint a member to the Suburban Road Commission
for the upcoming term. It is my understanding that your existing
member may be reappointed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Warden and Members of Council:
Re: St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission
The Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act states
that the term of office of every member of a Suburban Road Commission
expires with the 31st day of January of the year following the
next municipal election held after his appointment and his successor
shall be appointed after the Council elected in that election
assumes office.
The term of your existing member, Mr. Albert Auckland,
expires on January 31, 1992. We request that you appoint a
member to the Suburban Road Commission for the upcoming term. It
is my understanding that the existing member can be reappointed.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Yours truly,
FG:pg
c.c. Mr. Albert Auckland
Mr. Roderick Ferguson

FRED GROCH, ACTING SECRETARY AND
ENGINEER TO THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN
ROAD COMMISSION
ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION
REPORT
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION:
The St. Thomas Suburan Road Commission has control over the following
roads since July 1, 1990 when the City of St. Thomas annexed a portion
of Road #30 (Radio Road) and a portion of Road #56 (Elm Street).
Road #16 - From the west limit of Road #20 in Fingal to the
St. Thomas Boundary (Kettle Creek).
Road #25 - (Wellington Road) From the junction of Highway #3 and #4
to the Middlesex County Boundary.
Road #26 - (St. George Street) From the St. Thomas Boundary (Kettle
Creek) to Wellington Road (Road #25).
Road #31 - From the St. Thomas Boundary to Road #52.
Road #30 - (Radio Road) From Road #52 to County Road #48.
Road #28 - (Centennial Avenue) From Highway #3 to Elm Street.
Road #56 - (Elm Street) From Elmwood Street (new City of St. Thomas
Boundary) easterly to County Road #36.
Road #57 - (Southdale Road) From Highway #4 to County Road #22
(Fairview Avenue).
Road #22 - (Fairview Avenue) From the St. Thomas Boundary to County
Road #27 (Union/Sparta Road) including the intersection
of the Union/Sparta Road.
The County of Elgin has completed construction on Radio Road,
Concession XIII, Township of Yarmouth and I would recommend as of
January 1, 1991 that the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission assume the
remainder of Road #30 from Road #48 northerly to the Middlesex County
Line. This will link directly to the Hubrey Road in Middlesex County
which is under the control of the London Suburban Road Commission.
It is also recommended that Road #28 (Centennial Avenue) south of
Road #56 (Elm Str~et) to Road #45 will also be assumed as a County
road. This road has been on and off the Suburban system on a number of
occasions and the assumption would give continuity to the system.
Construction has been completed on Road #22 (Fairview Avenue),
including trimming and seeding at the intersection of Road #27 this
Summer.
Construction has been completed on Road #26 (St. George Street)
other than the payment of one drainage assessment to the Township of
Yarmouth.
Also completed in 1990 were resurfacing on Road #25 (Wellington
Road) opposite Concessions 'c' and 'B', Township of Southwold (Concessions
10 and 11, Township of Yarmouth) other than at the intersections of
County Road #52 and Road #48 and the road allowance between Concessions
'B' and 'C', Township of Southwold.
'A considerable amount of hot mix asphalt patching was done on Road
#16 including the intersection of Road #45 at Middlemarch ~hich was not
only repaved but also channelized and curb and gutter for"traffic
control was placed. I

ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION
REPORT - DECEMBER 3, 1990
PAGE 2.
Other than this winter maintenance operations were nominal. The
absence of winter control in the month of November has somewhat eased a
much heavier financial expenditure than usual for the January through
March season. Thus we may not be completely overspent.
It appears at this time that we will expend approximately $660,000.00
instead of the original $600,000.00 anticipated. This will increase
the share of the City of St. Thomas and the County of Elgin by approximately
$6,000.00 originally budgeted (subsidy from the Ministry of Transportation
of Ontario is very close to 80%). This coupled with a deficit of
$2,700.00 into 1989 will likely required a reduced budget for 1991
although it is not known to date what the 1/2 mill assessment from the
City of St. Thomas will yeild for 1991. It will be some time before
this informaion is available or Ministry of Transportation of Ontario
subsidy allocations are available.
The 1991 construction programme has not yet been discussed by the
County of Elgin Road Committee. Our most serious need at the present
time will be the continuation of resurfacing work on Wellington Road
(Road #25), followed as soon as possible by resurfacing on Road #16
between St. Thomas and Fingal as well as work on Road #57 (Southdale
Road).
A municipal drain has been approved for Southdale Road and is
expected to be installed early next year. This could be followed later
in the year by an improvement of that portion of Southdale Road which
has not been completed. This would completed the road to tolerable
standards only. It is our understanding that some of the right-of-way
will have to be used for sewer and water utility corridors and as such
could be subject to equipment damage in the next 5 to 8 years. However
the present traffic volume in excess of 1,000 vehicles per day makes
the maintenance of the present surface of the non-constructed section
practically impossible.
It was hoped to have the Highbury-Hubrey Road link opened before
major work was done on Wellington Road. This would eliminate a number
of traffic delays and/or detours which would be necessary to channelize
each intersection and to replace the pipe arch culvert north of Highway
#3 (St. Thomas Expressway) which must be done prior to that portion of
road being resurfaced. Some portions of the road could yet be resurfaced
without major intersection construction, but the intersections must
have proper channelization and lighting as soon as possible.
It appears that it will be the end of 1992 before the County of
Middlesex is able to complete even a base coat of asphalt from the'
Wilton Grove Road south to the Belmont-Glanworth Road.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
