FROM:Grant Jones, Deputy Warden
Health Recruitment Partnership Council Representative
DATE:February 1, 2019
SUBJECT:Health Recruitment Partnership – Committee Update
THAT the report from Deputy Warden Jones titled “Committee Update – St. Thomas
Health Recruitment Partnership” dated February 1, 2019 be received and filed.
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the Health Recruitment
Partnership(HRP).
Many communities throughout Ontario have struggled with physician shortages and are
working aggressively to recruit and retain physicians. In an effort to be competitive and
encourage physicians to practice in our community, in 2010, Elgin Countypartnered
with the City of St. Thomas to establisha Health Recruitment Partnership (“HRP”). This
is a municipal incentive program that, when combined with private incentives that
already exist for new physicians or physicians who are relocating their practice, has
resulted in 20new physicians practicing in our community.
Elgin-St. Thomas is designated as an by the Ministry of
Health and Long Term Care. Areas of high physician need are those areas of the
province where physician supply does not meet local demand for their services. The
approach used by the Ministry to identify these areas was evidence based with
allowance for local circumstance and includes a combination of rurality (Rurality Index
for Ontario “RIO” score), family physician to population ration and input from each Local
Health Integration Network (LHIN) based on their knowledge of the community and local
access needs.
The City of St. Thomas is the administrator of the HRP on behalf of the County.
The HRP’s Health Recruiter, Cheryl Fish, works on a part-time basis.
The Health Recruiter is tasked with:
-establishingand strengtheningconnections with prospective physicians and
retiring physicians;
-building networking opportunities with the broader medical community;
-coordinatingorientation sessions for new physicians with many community
agencies including the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), Southwestern
Public Health, mental health agencies, etc.;
-hostingevents throughout the year for medical students who are from Elgin-St.
Thomas;
- promotingElgin County and the City of St. Thomas as desirable communities for
medical practitioners;
-surveying and dialoguingwith existing physicians;
-updatingjob opportunity links; and
- assessingthe community for locum (temporary) placement opportunities.
County’s contribution to this program in 2018 was$73,800. The 2019 contribution is
forecasted to be $57,000. Funding is used for the following:
-an incentive loan program for new physicians (*);
-a scholarship program for County/City residents who are currently enrolled in a
Canadian Medical School;
-events, tradeshows; and
-wages for part-time Health Recruiter.
(*) physicians are eligible for aforgivableloan of up to $33,000 toset up their practice in
Elgin and St.Thomas - its entirety must be repaid if the physician fails to practice in the
community for a period of at least four (4) years.
This Committee meets every six (6) weeks and City Manager and County Chief
Administrative Officer attend as non-voting members. This Committee’s success in
recruiting family doctors has been used as a model for neighbouring communities who
are struggling with physician shortages in their communities.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATION:
INTRODUCTION:
DISCUSSION/ CONCLUSION:
REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
FROM:Rob Bryce,Directorof Human Resources
DATE:February 1, 2019
SUBJECT:Council Remuneration
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT County Council direct staff on how to proceed with regards to remuneration for
Council; and;
THAT the report titled “Council Remuneration” dated February 2, 2019be received and filed.
INTRODUCTION:
In October 2016, County Council reiterated its desire to ensure that elected positions are
compensated fairly for their time and expenses within a remuneration framework that is
financially sustainable and reasonable given current practices for municipal council
remuneration in Ontario.
In light of recent changes to federal taxation for municipally elected positions, Council
requested that staff review comparator data to determine the impact of such changesto the
County’s compensation practice, if any,within our established comparator group for
compensation purposes. This report providesthe outcomesof such review.
DISCUSSION:
Historically, Council has undertaken periodic reviews of Council remuneration. The last
review was in 2016 and prior to that 2009. In the last review, Council retained an external
advisor who reviewed market data compiled from comparator municipalities to address a
variety of remuneration elements and presented recommendations to Council.
A municipal comparator group of ten (10)western Ontario counties and two area cities was
selected based on a defined set of criteria that included size and scope of services,
geographic placement, and historic comparator considerations.
Within the comparator group and across the municipal sector, a common practice of paying
th
at the 50percentile of the municipal comparator group was observed. Council adopted the
th
50percentile as a reasonable pay target for elected positions having regard to the
competitive pay market and the pay policy for the management and non-union group.
The 2016 base salaries for the positions of Wardens and Councillorwere deemed to be
competitive to the pay market when compared to the municipal comparator group and no
wage adjustments were recommended or made at that time.
The 2016 review also determined that eleven of the twelve comparators consider the
Mayor/Warden as part-time position. All comparators deemed the Councillor role to be part-
time. All comparators had a 1/3 tax free provision attributable to the base pay for
Mayor/Warden and Councillorpositions. It should be noted that per diems were not common
among the comparator group with only three of twelve comparators providing per diems
ranging from $149.25 to $166.77. It was determined the County of Elgin’s health care and
life insurance benefit offerings were competitive at that time as well.
Per County Council’s direction, a recent survey ofour comparator grouphas concluded.
While the survey did not consider all components of a compensation program,it has been
determined that with the federal tax changes now in force, the wages of Elgin County
Warden and Councillors areless competitive to the established comparator group.
Survey information is shownbelow:
CONCLUSION:
The vast majority of comparator municipalities have responded to the federal government’s
tax changes by grossing up wages for elected officials. Without such action being taken at
Elgin County, the wages of Elgin County Warden and Councillors will be less competitive to
the established comparator group and not reflect Council’s previously stated desire to
compensate elected officials fairly for their time and expenses.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL
FROM:Rob Bryce, Director of Human Resources
DATE:February 1, 2019
SUBJECT:2019 EmployeeBenefits Renewal
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT County Council approve the negotiated renewal rate adjustments with Manulife
Financial for the County of Elgin, effective March 1, 2019
INTRODUCTION:
The annual employee benefits renewal report from our benefit consultants at Mosey and
Moseyhas been receivedby staff.The report summarizes Mosey’sanalysis of the
group benefits renewal action required by ManulifeFinancial, effective March 1, 2019.
As part of the 2019 benefits renewal, Human Resources staff worked withMosey and
Mosey to ensure that benefit coverage and associated underwriting costs continue to
remain competitive.
County staffis satisfied with the renewal as negotiated on our behalf by Mosey and
Mosey with Manulife Financial and recommends renewal of this year’s employee
benefits program with them.
DISCUSSION:
The County of Elgin’s employee group benefits program isunderwritten by Manulife
Financial and AIG Insurance. The County of Elginiscombined with other member
municipalities in order to provide benefits at the most competitive rates. Manulife
Financial underwrites the Life, Long Term Disability (LTD), Health and Dental benefits.
AIG underwrites the Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefit only.
The County wide consortiumrepresents a total of over$2.7millionin annual premiums.
Annual premiums for the County of Elgin are approximately $1,270,884with the
extended health and dental representing approximately 70%of total cost.
The group benefit program for the County of Elgin is broken down into two main
components, based on the underwriting arrangements that apply to each, as follows:
Life Insurance and Long Term Disability: These are underwritten on a partially pooled,
partially experience rated basis. The rating of these benefits takes into consideration
the overall performance of the insurer’s pool, changes in employee demographicsand
the claims experience for the overall consortium. As a result of 2017 marketing, life
insurance rates are guaranteed until 2020; 2019 Long Term Disabilityratesare coming
off rate guarantee after a two year freezeand are seeing an 18% increase at this
renewal.
Extended Health Care and Dental: These are underwritten on a fully experience-rated
basisby Manulife.Rates are established based on the results generated by the
premium and claims experience for a twelve month period eachyear(Nov – Oct)
combined for all participating municipalities. Extended Health Care rates will decrease
3.8% and dental rates willincrease 2.0%.
Extended Health Care being the highest cost benefit has various cost drivers. Typically,
increased paramedical utilization and the impact of specialty drugs will contribute to
escalating costs. Additionally, there is a stop loss pooling arrangement in place
designed as added protection against the impact of catastrophic claims. Pooling costs
have increased steadily over the years.
In a September 2018 report, HR staff had shared with County Council that based on the
first 9 months experience in the policy period, a renewal increase of 7.4% was
projected. Following negotiations with the insurance carrier and the impact of the
extendedhealth care experience resultsover the last quarter, renewal costsreflect an
upward adjustment in overall premiums of 1.8% for the County of Elgin’s plan. This
represents an additional annual cost over current rates of approximately $24,500 as
outlined below:

Ms. Julie Gonyou, CAO of Elgin County,
My name is Jennifer Cripton and I am a paramedic who has been
working in Elgin County for 10 years. I am writing to you as a paramedic
and humanitarian looking to continue to transport and donate retired
emergency vehicles to Nicaragua. I am hoping to add one or more
retired Elgin ambulances to that number. To date, the charitable
organization I work with, Operation Nicaragua, has delivered over 30
emergency vehicles in the last decade. Unfortunately, most of the
firetrucks and ambulances the country did have were destroyed in past
revolutions. The volunteer firefighters and paramedics who do their
best to take care of their communities are left with deteriorating
resources, often having to push-start the vehicles if they are not already
in the shop for repairs.
As I write this, 2 ambulances and a firetruck are being loaded on a
ship in Fort Lauderdale to sail for 6 days to Nicaragua, where they will
help paramedics and firefighters keep thousands of people safe. I will be
traveling to Nicaragua in February of 2019 in order to ensure their
arrival/delivery to their respective communities. I also continue to
bring paramedic volunteers down from Canada to assist with training
the local bomberos (firefighters) in basic first aid and CPR, and this has
included other Elgin paramedics. I’m proud to say this has become an
annual tradition, and I’d like to continue the trend.
I hope you will consider assisting me in obtaining a retired vehicle
from Elgin County, as it is such a privilege to be able to give the vehicles
a second life. I have every intention of being there along the way for
each vehicle, documenting the journey and further use in Nicaragua.
Operation Nicaragua is a registered charity, founded in BC, but now
includes Ontario. Please contact me for further details. I hope to be able
to work with you in helping those that help others!
Graciously,
Jennifer Cripton

RE: EBR Registry # 013-4293 for input on the proposed Bill 66,
Competitiveness Act, 2018
Ontario Farmland Trust (OFT) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to protect and
preserve Ontario farmlands and associated agricultural, natural, and cultural features of the
countryside. OFT achieves this through direct land securement, stewardship, policy research and
education to benefit all Ontarians.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit feedback on the proposed Bill 66,
Competitiveness Act, 2018. OFT has played an active stakeholder role in the development of
policies that support a prosperous, sustainable and permanent farm sector, including those
contained in the Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. In an
effort to continue working with the Province to develop responsible planning policies that
support the agri-food sector, OFT has detailed its concerns regarding Schedule 10 of the
proposed Bill 66, , in the following document.
agri-food sector is a major economic engine for the province. In terms of job creation
and economic growth, a 2018 report confirmed that the agri-food sector contributes over $39
Ontarians in the supply chain \[1\]. This
contribution is overwhelmingly significant in rural areas, where roughly 12% of the GDP and
10% of rural jobs are attributed to the farm sector \[2\]. Ontario is also positioned favourably to
attract agricultural and manufacturing investment because it is a global leader in the agri-food
industry and houses one of the largest agri-food hubs in North America. This, in turn, generates
growth in employment and GDP.
OFT believes that, as currently written, the Open-for-Business Zoning By-law proposed within
Schedule 10 of Bill 66 places the agri-food sector and its substantial economic benefits at an
unacceptable level of risk. If adopted it will jeopardize the economic contributions of the agri-
food sector and expose rural areas to greater economic vulnerability. As such, OFT
recommends that Schedule 10 be removed from Bill 66. It is critical that all Acts that protect
-food
sector are retained in full and without exception.

The following sections provide greater detail regarding Schedule s threats to the farm sector
and suggests
agri-food investment.
Threats to the Farm Sector
Schedule 10 of Bill 66 and the Open-for-Business Zoning By-law (OFB-ZBL) could open up for
development farmland that is either currently protected (e.g. through the Greenbelt Plan) or is
outside of projected municipal growth areas.
This negatively impacts the agricultural sector in a number of ways. Schedule 10 of Bill 66:
Threatens to pave over and permanently destroy productive farmland. Only 5% of
the Canadian land base is prime agricultural land, the majority of which is in southern
Ontari-food sector. Ontario is
already losing 175 acres of farmland every day, a rate that could increase under the
proposed OFB-ZBL. The loss of this land to non-agricultural uses is irreversible and
-food investment potential.
Risks farmland fragmentation and the dismantling of the agricultural system. A
successful agri-food sector relies on a healthy farm sector, which requires access to a
contiguous agricultural land base with a system of supportive infrastructure, agricultural
services, distributors, and processors. This requirement is recognized by, and is being
addressed through, ongoing municipal-level processes to implement the Agricultural
System for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Development approvals outside of strategic
growth areas that are delineated in Official Plans and in conformity with the Provincial
Policy Statement, Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, etc. will fragment and destroy the
systems required by the farm sector. As farmland and the agricultural system is
fragmented by conflicting land uses, the viability of agricultural enterprises and the agri-
food sector is reduced or eliminated.
Will dramatically inflate farmland prices as speculation and land banking increases
and further reduce affordability for farmers. Sustaining large swaths of contiguous,
affordable farmland is crucial because land ownership provides the long-term, land use
certainty that is required for farmers to make investments in their property and business.
This contributes to a stronger agri-food sector and more attractive investment
environment.
Introduces conflicting land uses adjacent to land used for agricultural purposes.
This disadvantages both producers and those on adjacent properties because of the nature
of agricultural activity, which generates noise, odours, and dust, and involves the use of
slow-moving farm machinery and hazardous materials. Ultimately, introducing
incompatible land uses makes it more difficult for farmers to continue running financially

sustainable farm businesses, can interrupt normal farm practices, and can create conflict
with neighbors.
Re-introduces uncertainty around the permanent protection of land for agriculture
and agribusiness. Uncertainty about the ongoing protection of land for agriculture
discourages investment in agriculture and leads to a deterioration in the resource and the
agricultural community associated with it. Given that the best agricultural land is largely
located in areas experiencing growth pressures, this uncertainty and the resultant
reluctance to invest in agribusiness, will weaken the agri-food sector. Furthermore, the
lack of public consultation will result in farmers being unable to provide feedback,
challenge decisions, and advocate for the ongoing viability of their business.
change. Studies in Ontario indicate that the effects of climate change will be dramatically
different across the province and that heat and water stress will likely have negative
impacts on agricultural productivity \[3,4\]. The agricultural and natural lands threatened
by the proposed OFB-ZBL help to offset these negative impacts by providing services
including carbon storage and flood management. Re-introduced land use uncertainty
would also -farm adaptive and mitigative
technologies and practices.
As currently proposed, the OFB-ZBL is unnecessary and does not appropriately solve the issues
it seeks to address.
Numerous studies report that there is already enough employment land designated for
growth out to 2031 and beyond, meaning the provisions within the OFB-ZBL meant to open up
land previously unavailable for development are unnecessary. For example, a 2017 Neptis
Report notes that 85% or 87,440 ha of Designated Greenfield Area in the Greater Golden
Horseshoe is unbuilt \[5\], and a 2017 study from Simcoe County indicated that across its 16
municipalities, there were 1,514 ha of excess employment lands to accommodate anticipated
growth out to 2031 \[6\]. These planning horizons can be extended well beyond 2031 when growth
is managed through intensification \[7\].
Existing planning resources, including Official Plans, already allow municipalities to
respond to employment opportunities on currently designated lands and direct growth in a
strategic and appropriate manner. Municipal polices are developed based on substantive
amounts of work supported by public consultation and should not be pre-empted by the OFB-
ZBL.
The proposed OFB-ZBL disregards the importance and necessity of coordinated,
comprehensive planning to maintain and protect the integrity of regional systems,

including the agricultural system. Current provincial policies address strategic planning
processes at a regional level and should not be bypassed or undermined under any condition.
While the OFT is opposed to the currently proposed Open-for-Business Zoning By-law we
acknowledge that there are other actions that can be taken to improve the business environment
in the province and attract investment in the agri-food sector, which include:
Coordinating the actions of provincial ministries so they work as a team to facilitate
appropriate development
communications between government agencies and applicants
Providing greater recognition and promotion of the agri-food sector as an economic
engine in the province
Promoting job creation and investment opportunities that recognize and support
agricultural business potential in rural areas. Farmland is rural employment land and
employment in one sector should not place jobs at risk in another, which is the current
reality of Schedule 10 given the risks it will create for agricultural viability.
Creating land-use certainty by using existing planning or policy tools to permanently
protect critical sector resources including farmland and the agricultural system.
The OFT is eager to work with the provincial government to achieve this vision.
Thank you for this opportunity to share our recommendations and feedback on the proposed Bill
66, . We believe that Ontario has an opportunity
to position itself as a national and global leader in strategies that blend environmental/farmland
protection and economic growth and is capable of setting an example of how economic
prosperity need not be at the expense of the environment. We invite discussion and welcome any
questions you might have regarding our submission. We look forward to working with you
further.
