1 wrae'h 4dWer 1M',r REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
bFCr
FROM: Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services
DATE: May 10, 2018
SUBJECT: Asset Base Management
INTRODUCTION:
On April 10, 2018 Amanda Macdougall, Regional Manager for the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation (MPAC) presented the first of two presentations on
Assessment Base Management. The second presentation in June will focus on the
need for local government to determine their desired level of participation ranging from
passive to active.
In the past the County and its partner municipalities have occasionally become involved,
with the assistance of Municipal Tax Advisory Group (MTAG), in appeals to protect our
assessment base. The May 22, 2018 delegation from MTAG will present a proposal to
utilize their expertise to allow the County and its partner municipalities to further activate
our participation in ensuring an accurate and fair assessment base.
DISCUSSION:
A historical view common across the province is that MPAC is responsible for managing
assessments and is funded to do so by the municipalities. Although municipalities are a
funding source for MPAC, MPAC does not represent the municipalities. In fact, MPAC
is working to change that perception, hence the presentations that they have made to
councils encouraging municipalities to develop an Asset Base Management program
(ABM). Further to this, the Assessment Review Board (ARB) has instituted new policies
that require municipalities, if they wish to participate in appeals, to be involved in an
appeal up front.
MTAG was used by our municipal partners prior to the County assuming the responsibility
for tax appeals in October 2015. The County, for continuity reasons, continued using
MTAG for significant tax appeals. With the changes from the ARB and MPAC, MTAG is
proposing to offer two services to strengthen Elgin's role in Assessment Base
Management. The Sourcing New Assessment service would help Elgin grow its tax base
by identifying missing and undervalued assessment. It is expected to cost less than
$30,000 and provide benefits in increased tax revenue far in excess of the cost of the
service as has been witnessed in Norfolk, Lambton and Brant counties. The Appeals
Management service will help Elgin and its municipal partners identify those appeals that
Elgin should actively participate in and determine the appropriate level of participation.
The cost would be less than $25,000 and is an investment in protecting the County's
existing assessment tax base. The cost for these services will be shared equally with
Elgin's municipal partners and the local treasurers are in favour of procuring the services.
27
CONCLUSION:
Given the changes in the property assessment system, it is essential that the County
increase its involvement through an active Assessment Base Management program.
MTAG is an experienced partner that will ensure that Elgin's efforts are successful.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT the services of the Municipal Tax Advisory Group (MTAG) be procured for an upset
limit of $30,000 to provide Sourcing New Assessment service to enhance the County's tax
base; and,
THAT the services of the Municipal Tax Advisory Group (MTAG) be procured for an upset
limit of $25,000 to provide Appeals Management service to protect the County's tax base.

Agreement (M -SAA) in place with the South West Local Health Integration Network

locations with the most recent one being leased space at the Port Stanley Festival
Theatre building. This was a short-term arrangement as a permanent location was
being developed by the Municipality of Central Elgin for the County to occupy for the
2018 tourist season. A lease is ready to sign which will enable the County to have a
prominent and permanent location to promote tourism services to the many visitors to
Port Stanley.
DISCUSSION:
The Economic Development department operates two tourism kiosks - one located in
Port Burwell and the other in Port Stanley. There is also a mobile tourism cruiser that
attends events in West Elgin and throughout the County.
Finding an ideal location for a tourism kiosk in Port Stanley has been a challenge over
the years. For the past two years, the County has leased 155 square feet at the Port
Stanley Festival Theatre. This space has sufficed while a more suitable and permanent
location was being investigated and developed.
For the past two years, the County's Economic Development staff has been working
with the Municipality of Central Elgin to secure a permanent location for a visitors
centre, as part of the municipality's development plans for Port Stanley. Consequently,
the planned construction of a building consisting of public washroom facilities and
equipment storage area was expanded to include space for a visitor's centre. The
building is now near completion. The space that is available will allow the County to
prominently display tourism services in a highly visible permanent area on the corner of
Carlow Road and Bridge Street, near the lift bridge. Although a student will not be
working on the premises throughout the entire year, the space will be utilized for storage
and will be available to support/promote events that may occur during the tourism off -
season.
The proposed lease will have a base rate of $12.00 per square foot, amounting to
$3,852.00 annually on 321 square feet which will then be adjusted to the Ontario
Consumer Price Index, in subsequent years. As outlined in Appendix 1, the renewable
lease agreement would begin on June 1, 2018, and end on May 31, 2023. The funds
for the lease are contained within the approved operating budget of the Economic
30
Development department. It should be stressed that the lease agreement is based on
the County's library lease and the County's solicitor has reviewed the document.
CONCLUSION:
By securing the lease agreement with the Municipality of Central Elgin, the County's
struggle to secure a highly visible permanent location to offer tourism services to Port
Stanley, will end. The Port Stanley Visitor Centre will be a hub of activity from cycling
activities to highlighting the history of Port Stanley. Depending on construction, a soft
launch of the facility will occur in May with a formal grand opening sometime in June.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the County Warden and Chief Administrative Officer be directed to sign the lease
agreement for the purposes of operating a Tourism Information Centre, between the
County of Elgin and the Municipality of Central Elgin for the period of June 1, 2018 to May
23, 2023, at a cost of $3,852.00 plus HST annually, according to the terms and conditions
described in the May 15, 2018, report.

[9° REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
FROM: Mathew Waite, Financial Analyst
Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services
DATE: May 15, 2018
SUBJECT: Councillors' Remuneration - One -Third Tax Allowance
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the 2017 Federal Budget, it was proposed that the one-third tax exemption for
non -accountable allowance paid to municipal officers will be eliminated effective January
2019. This report outlines the history of the one-third tax exemption, the potential impact
on councillor remuneration, and it's implications on Elgin County.
DISCUSSION:
Introduced in 1947 under the Income Tax Act, one-third of a municipal officer's total
remuneration can be excluded from their taxable income and be earned tax free. The
purpose of this exemption was to compensate municipal officers for their non -accountable
expenses incurred while carrying out their duties of office.
In December 2001, the Municipal Act enabled municipal governments the flexibility to
eliminate the one-third tax exemption. This change was intended to increase the
transparency of elected official's remuneration. As of January 2003, the one-third
exemption no longer applies unless Council passes a resolution in each term of Council to
maintain it. If a resolution is not enacted, then the one-third portion would become taxable.
In March 2017, the Federal Government decided to eliminate the one-third tax exemption
for non -accountable expenses incurred by municipal officers effective January 2019.
Currently, the Warden and Council members are receiving one-third of their remuneration
as non-taxable. With the Federal Government's proposed change there are financial
implications on the Warden's and Councillors' net after tax remuneration. In addition, their
will be incremental costs to Elgin County.
The financial impact on Council's net remuneration and Elgin County's operating budget
depends on which option is selected. The attached Schedule A outlines the current
remuneration for Council. Schedule A also provides the two potential options regarding
their remuneration. Option one has no increase in remuneration resulting in a decrease in
net pay as a result of the Federal tax policy change (Warden $6,347, Councillor $2,167).
Option one also results in an increase in annual operating cost for Elgin County of
approximately $13,309.
45
Option two proposes grossing up both the Warden's and Council's remuneration to result
in the same net pay to offset the elimination of the one-third tax exemption. This option has
no impact on the Warden's or Council's net remuneration. However, there is a $48,542
incremental cost to Elgin County's annual operating budget.
CONCLUSION:
With the Federal Government's decision to eliminate the one-third tax exemption, there will
be incremental costs to Elgin County. Furthermore, if Council's remuneration remains
unchanged both the Warden and Councillor's will experience a deduction in net pay.
Alternatively Council could increase their pay to reduce/eliminate the negative impact of
the tax policy change. In addition, their remuneration should reflect the demanding nature
and responsibilities of the position in order to attract capable candidates.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT the report titled "Councillors' Remuneration - One -Third Tax Allowance" dated May
15, 2018 be received and filed.
THAT Council approve Warden and Council remuneration for the new Council taking effect
December 1, 2018.

1 wrae'h 4dWer 1M',r REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
bFCr
FROM: Michael Plant, Director of Engineering Services
DATE: May 16, 2018
SUBJECT: Port Bruce Bridge Update
INTRODUCTION:
Following the collapse of the Port Bruce Bridge in February, County Council recognized
the immediacy and importance of responding to the community's transportation and
emergency response needs. Council responded to this need through a resolution on
May 8, 2018 that authorized the Chief Administrative Officer to move forward with the
installation of a temporary bridge at a project cost of $1.52M. Work has progressed well
on the temporary modular bridge installation in Port Bruce. This report provides an
update on the status of this work.
DISCUSSION:
Temporary Bridge
Engineering Services has purchased a temporary modular bridge. The 700XS Acrow
Panel Bridge is 55 m long by 5.4 m wide. The supplier has confirmed the bridge
components will be delivered to the County as expected and within a reasonable
timeframe. Once secured, a contractor will receive and begin assembling the bridge
components. We expect this will be within 6 weeks.
Contract Package/General Contractor
With Council's decision to proceed with the temporary modular bridge on the Bank
Street/Dexter Line crossing of Catfish Creek, the County's engineering consultant Spriet
Associates has begun work on the detailed design to prepare a finalized contract
package. It is important to note that a contractor cannot be secured until this step has
been completed. We anticipate a contract package will be ready on Friday May 25tH
The County has identified and confirmed the availability of three road construction
companies with experience in the installation of modular bridges, all of whom are
interested in undertaking the work and participating in a competitive bidding process.
Public Information Session
The County is taking the lead in hosting a Public Information Session which has been
arranged for Monday June 11th, 2018 at the East Elgin Community Centre from 7:00 to
9:00 pm. Staff from Malahide Township, as well as Spriet Associates, will also be present
to explain the project details to interested members of the public. Public notification of this
meeting is being handled by both Malahide and the County staff. Notices will be sent
directly to the residents of Port Bruce.
50
Emergency Services Plan
Central Elgin Fire Department has been supplementing Fire Service to the residents of
Port Bruce. This has been arranged through a Mutual Aid agreement. As directed by
County Council, staff invited Malahide and Central Elgin's Fire Services to discuss an
interim plan for emergency services now that timelines for the installation of a temporary
bridge are available. This meeting was held on May 17, 2018 and a verbal report will be
provided to County Council on May 22, 2018.
County, Malahide and Central Elgin CAOs and Medavie EMS Chief were also in
attendance.
Utility Relocations
Existing hydro services on both sides of Catfish Creek will require relocation to
accommodate traffic along the Bank Street/Dexter Line alignment. County and Malahide
Township staff are working with HydroOne to ensure this work is completed within the
defined timeline.
Enhanced Detour Signing
A comprehensive review of the existing detour signage is ongoing. Malahide Township
as well as residents and visitors of Port Bruce have provided feedback for improvements
which will enhance awareness that local businesses, the beach and Lake Erie remain
open for business.
CONCLUSION:
Engineering Services was able to confirm availability and secure the purchase of a
modular bridge. As well, we are in a good position to secure a contractor to begin the
site preparation work, receive delivery, assemble and install a modular bridge once a
contract package is available. We remain confident that the temporary structure will be
operational by early August 2018 barring any unforeseen circumstances.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT staff be directed to continue to provide updates related to the installation of the
temporary modular bridge installation and Port Bruce bridge installation as information
is available; and,
THAT the report titled "Port Bruce Bridge Update" from the Director of Engineering
Services, dated May 16, 2018, be received and filed.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted Approved for Submission

1 wrae'h 4dWer 1M',r REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
bFCr
FROM: Julie Gonyou, Chief Administrative Officer
Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services
DATE: May 16, 2018
SUBJECT: Terrace Lodge Redevelopment Update
INTRODUCTION:
Elgin County Council and the local community are enthusiastically anticipating the
completion of the Terrace Lodge redevelopment. Providing an exceptional, "Class A"
"home" for the residents of Terrace Lodge remains a top priority of the County and the
Terrace Lodge Building Committee. This committee meets regularly after most council
meetings to ensure that the project has effective oversight.
BACKGROUND:
As with most projects of this magnitude, the Terrace Lodge redevelopment has faced
some challenges along the way. Of primary concern are issues surrounding domestic
water services, wastewater capacity and storm water management. The Technical Team
comprised of staff and the Building Committee representatives from County Council have
been working toward finding viable solutions to these challenges. One alternative to
incurring incremental site service costs involves demolishing the existing building once it
is vacated; however, there is little to no appetite amongst members of the Committee to
demolish such a valuable municipal asset.
These site servicing issues in conjunction with Ministry approvals and space constraints
have resulted in project delays. Elgin has been working with the Ministry and with
architects to develop options for the project, considering the constraints of the available
space adjacent to the current building for a new build, servicing issues and the reluctance
to demolish the existing building.
"NO -COMPROMISE" SOLUTION:
The Building Committee is working diligently to find a "no -compromise" solution for Terrace
Lodge. This strategy involves taking into consideration the value of the existing building in
the context of all of the issues facing the project. As such, Elgin is exploring whether it is
possible to achieve a successful design utilizing the existing building to achieve a "Class
A" facility. Simultaneously, Elgin has been working on finalizing the design plans for a new
build.
Completing both of these tasks concurrently allows Elgin to prepare a comprehensive
business case for County Council's consideration.
52
NEXT STEPS:
The Building Committee has directed staff to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) to
hire external expertise consisting of an Architect, Engineer and Operations Consultant to
complete a comprehensive study / business case for the rebuild or redevelopment of
Terrace Lodge. The proposed timeline is as follows:
Issue Date:
May 23
Closing Date:
June 14
Council Approval:
July 10
Consultant Start:
Late July
Completion:
October 1
A decision will be made by County Council as to whether to rebuild using the existing
facility or build a new facility once all relevant information is available after October 1,
2018.
CONCLUSION:
Council has set aside $35M for the Terrace Lodge redevelopment and is doing its due
diligence to see if there are cost savings that can be found. A detailed plan completed by
consultants will give Council the information (both capital and operational costs) needed to
decide on a solution that resolves servicing issues, is fiscally responsible and achieves an
aesthetically pleasing "Class A" result.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT staff provide a report with the results and costs of the RFP process to County
Council at the July 10th meeting.
THAT the report titled "Terrace Lodge Redevelopment Update" from the Chief
Administrative Officer and Director of Financial Services, dated May 16, 2018, be received
and filed.

Dear Mr. Dutchak:
Ontario
DIV2018-248
Thank you for your letter informing us of the Elgin County Council resolution regarding
the Highway 3 / Ron McNeil Line intersection and the connection to Wonderland Road.
We appreciate the offer to enter into a partnership to address the long term
transportation needs in the vicinity of Hwy 3 and Ron McNeil Line. The ministry agrees
there are benefits to both the ministry and the County in working together. The terms of
reference for a planning and environmental assessment study can be worked out with
staff in our organizations. As a starting point, the study should consider both the
existing and future Highway 3 alignment at this location.
While I recognize the importance of this study to Elgin County, initiation of such a study
by the ministry would be based on provincial priorities and the availability of resources.
Should the County choose to lead this study, the ministry would be interested in having
representation on your project team.
In either case, the ministry is prepared to cost share 50% of the study based on a
mutually agreed upon terms of reference.
Please feel free to contact Michael Nadeau at 519-873-4373 or by email at
Michael. Nadeau(a)ontario.ca at your convenience to contribute to our partnership on this
study.
Thank you again for bringing your concerns to my attention and we look forward to
hearing how the County wishes to proceed with the study.
Sincerely,
Neil Zo sky, P.Eng.

Dear Warden Marr and County Council:
Re.: Miller Road LED Street Lights — Petition - "That council direct staff to replace existing street light fixtures on Miller
Road using the same format and approach of the 2017 LED conversion in the Village of Dutton in order to address
concerns of the current 4000K lights being too bright, producing too much light trespass and glare, increasing sky glow
and light pollution, resulting in potential negative impact on human health and wildlife."
Last night the attached petition was submitted to the Dutton Dunwich Council along with an informative presentation by
Jim and Patricia Corneil.
A component of the 2016 Miller Road Reconstruction Project was the installation of LED street lights. Spriet Engineering
awarded the street light contract to the lowest tender bid. This resulted in 4000K LED street lights attached to non-
adjustable pole arms on every hydro pole on Miller Road. Miller Road is very narrow road, without any parking allowed
on both sides and very low dark hour traffic. Miller Road is an old road with some homes being built decades ago. Some
of these homes are very close to the road allowance while other homes are further back from the road allowance.
Prior to the street lights being installed, there was plenty of information in the lighting industry about the detrimental
effects to humans, wildlife and the environment in regards to LED street lighting. The 4000K street light had become
unpopular for residential use due to the American Medical Association media release, The Toronto Health Unit and
other expert and authoritative sources cautioning about unnecessary levels of street lighting, specifically that over
3000K not be used in residential areas, and even then, that LED lights should be 360 degree shielded and dimmed at off
peak times.
Respectfully we ask that this issue be corrected.
Regards,
Kim Jewell on behalf of the Petition

Kea[T*nm Energy agrees with the American Medical Association (AMA) that it's important tn
direct the light only where it's needed to support visibility, safety, and the health of humans
and other living creatures. RTE'steann of lighting experts select light sources and light levels
that will minimize the impact on acute melatonin suppression while maximizing energy
efficiency, color rendition, visual acuity, and other critical safety and maintenance factors.

Via E-mail
RE: Catfish Creek Bridge Failure, Port Bruce, Ontario
Dear Sir;
We have 2 major concerns regarding this situation.
Firstly this is not an act of God, but a lack of maintenance.
We are a seasonal business owner in Port Bruce and are experiencing a large downturn in traffic at our
restaurant and on Imperial Road in front of our restaurant.
A large portion our business is from the east and are not willing to drive the extra distanceto use the
current detour to the west.
The portion of our business that comes from the west is confused with the signage. We have many calls
from potential customers that have headed east on Dexter Line and then followed the detour signs at
Quaker Line which directs them north and no details of how to get to Port Bruce from that point.
The people calling end up at John Wise and Imperial Road and call to ask us how to get to us from there.
They are then frustrated and take their business elsewhere.
I spoke to your roads department and they changed the subtitle from "local traffic only" to "Businesses
open as usual". This still does not explain the options.
The sign needs to show options, straight ahead to Port Bruce, turn left if you want to go to Aylmer or
Copenhagen.
This confusion is crippling our business and possibly could very well cause the demise of our business.
We are seasonal and tried our best to deal with the new minimum wage and to add this problem to the
mix could very well be the end of all of the like businesses in Port Bruce.
We now are advised that the temporary bridge MAY be in place by early August, this we cannot survive
that long. We only have business from April to October with our prime months being June, July and
August.
65
Your Elgincentives Team has been working hard to build up tourism in our area, but there will nothing to
Xotoonce this isover.
We believe the time line could been shortened if the County had of reacted to this as an emergency and
we further believe that the County can be providing some positive infornercials to support the local
businesses.
Further we have had to cut our staff by 50 percent due to the situation.
We are alive now but won't be for long without your help or financial aid.
We will definitely be looking to the County of Elgin to support us in all ways possible to assure our
Be assured that if voluntary assistance is not forthcoming, we will be seeking compensation through
other avenues.
Yours truly,
Barb and Gary Scrivens,

Dear Warden Marr:

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
HLTC2966MC-2018-3406
Thank you for writing regarding long-term care home development in Ontario. I welcome the
opportunity to respond.
I want to assure you that our ministry recognizes the important role of Ontario's long-term
care homes in providing quality care and service to residents who require assistance with
daily living, access to 24-hour nursing care and supervision in a protected setting.
On November 7, 2017, the province announced Aging with Confidence: Ontario's Action
Plan for Seniors, committing to the building of 5,000 new long-term care beds by 2022 and
the creation of more than 30,000 new beds over the next decade.
New long-term care bed capacity will prioritize those with the highest need as well as those
within hospitals who are ready to be discharged and require a long-term care home. New
long-term care bed capacity serving culturally specific needs, francophone, and Indigenous
populations will also be prioritized.
Between February 12, 2018 and March 2, 2018, the ministry accepted applications from
interested parties across Ontario for new long-term care bed capacity. Long-term care
homes with new bed capacity will continue to be places where residents may live with
dignity, security, safety, and comfort.
Since October 2003, the ministry has invested more than $1.64 billion in capital funding to
long-term care home operators to support the development and redevelopment of long-term
care beds across the province.
From October 2003 through to February 2018, more than 10,000 new long-term care beds
have been developed and more than 13,500 older long-term care beds have been
redeveloped, through various redevelopment programs.
/2
M
-2 -
In October 2014, the rninistry announced its commitment to the Enhanced Long -Terni Care
Home Renewal Strategy, which supports the redevelopment of more than 30,000 Deng -terra
care beds in more than 300 long-term care hormes to current, design standards by 2025;
eliminating all four bed wards in Ontario's long-term care homes.
New long-term care bed capacity under Aging with Confidence is, in additiorl to tile 30,000
editing beds that, are being redeveloped undier the Enhanced Strategy,
Since the Enhanced Strategy was announced in 2014, the ministry, has supported several
initiatives that further facilitate its success. This has led to the intake of applications
representing approximately 15,000 beds,
Through the Enhanced Strategy, residents will benefit from redeveloped long-ternn, care
homes, which facilitate the provision Of quality care and service in an envircrnment that lis
comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and as home -like as poss.6le.
1=finally® as announced in the 2018 Budget, we are proposing to make the following
enhancements, long-term care homes across Ontario,
a Create 5,0001 new Jong -term care beds by 2022.
In addition to the 30,000 existing beds being redeveloped, create over 30,000 new
long-term care beds over the next decade,
Invest $300 million over three years — starting with $50 million in 2018-19 — to hire a
new registered nurse, for every long-term care home. This will provide more direct,
one-on-one patient care: hIClUding naming, personal support and therapeutic care.
I recognize your concerns that it is increasingly difficult to meet the complex health care
needs, of long-term care home residents, but it takes time to create new long-term care
beds, redevelop existing homes, hire health care professionals and put services into place.
I want you to know that it is of utmost importance that we carefully execute our plana to
ensure that all seniors across Oritario receive the care and dignity they deserve.
Thank you again for writing.
Yours sincerely,

Long Term Care and
SeniorsFunding
As our municipalities prepare fora shift towards
rapidly aging population, the W JWC has a strong
tern surrotinding the capacity to deliver bong Term
Care and Seniors' Serr4icesgiven the current funding gap
created in part by the Age -h -Ptace Provincial strategy.
In 2011 the WOWC confirmed that our region alone has
aprovincial funding shortfall of $74.3 million annually
for 3,428 beds. Sime introducing theAge-ln-Fiats
Strategy, the WOWC region has experienced a significant
increase in the acuity of new a . WOWC has
not witnessed an increase in the funding envelope to
address the strain to the system particularly an the areas
of Staffingsurr registered and non -registered
nursing staff.
In 2013 the WOaC advocated the province to address
the unintended consequencesofthe Age-liv-Pllace
Strategy and the 79110 regulation. Arbitrary staffing
requirements, coupled with design standard restrictions
create highly inflexible arrangement for the public
sector licensees.
The continued fiscal grandfathering policies for
preferred Revenues is unrealistic and inequitable for
each home. Further, the imposed funding restrictions
on Basic Room Rates equalling the sum of Canadian
Pension Pian (CPP) -Old Age Security (OAS)>
Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) -Guaranteed

burden that is not sustainable.
