REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Sandra Datars Bere. Director of Ontario Works and Social Housing SJ. Thomas - Elgin Ontario Works MEETING DATE: January 15, 2008 SUBJECT: Ontario Works and Social Housing - 41h Quarter Report INTRODUCTION: This report reflects the activities of the Ontario Works Department in the 4th quarter, from October to December 2007. Specific information will be presented for each of the major program areas. DISCUSSION / REPORT: Income Maintenance: The Income Maintenance division of Ontario Works continues to provide support to individuals and families of the City of st. Thomas and Elgin County demonstrating positive role models to those in need and assist them in becoming self-sufficient members of our community. The Income Maintenance division encompasses a number of different programs geared to assisting vulnerable members of our community. Financial support is provided to individuals and families through our Income Support program. Our Special Programs support individuals in domiciliary hostels as well as those in need of our Homelessness programs. The Family Support Program assists recipients in obtaining support funds available to them. The Eligibility Review Program and the Consolidated Verification Process Program provide accountability to our municipality. The Income Maintenance caseload continues to rise, and is currently 11% higher than last year. With continuing uncertain economic times ahead, it may continue to climb. The staff of the Income Maintenance division of Ontario Works strives to maintain a high service level to our community while concurrently managing higher caseloads. The stabilization of staffing levels continues to be a concern as there has been significant staff turnover in the past year. The Service Delivery Model Technology utilized by the Ontario Works department and most significantly by the Income Maintenance division requires considerable training and has a long learning curve; this combined with the legislative knowledge component makes trained staff a valuable commodity. The Family Support program of the Income Maintenance Division continues to meet the targets set by the Ministry of Community and Social Services, assisting sole support parents in obtaining financial support for themselves and their children. This is an important function in the Ontario Works department as it decreases dependence on the social assistance network. The Eligibility Review Program and Consolidated Verification Process component of the Income Maintenance Division are designed to review the assistance provided to the individuals and families of our community to ensure that the correct amount of assistance is provided to eligible recipients in a timely manner. These programs provide accountability to the taxpayers of our municipality. Upcoming changes to the National Child Benefit Supplement, as well as the introduction of the Ontario Child Benefit will introduce new challenges to the Ontario Works department, as social assistance is restructured. These challenges as always, will be met will resolve and determination in the Income Maintenance Division as we provide quality service to our community of Sf. Thomas - Elgin. During this past quarter several staff members as well as the Supervisor of Income Maintenance had the opportunity to attend a Fall Training Seminar in Toronto. This training opportunity allowed the staff to connect with their counterparts from other municipalities and gather new perspectives on how to better serve the vulnerable population that the Ontario Works department interacts with day to day. The training serves an important purpose for staff as it allows them an occasion to renew and reflect with colleagues and bring back renewed passion to their role in the department. Employment: The Employment division participated in a number of training opportunities in professional development in this quarter. On October 2. 2007 the entire staff attended a session arranged through the employment division. The speaker for this session was a former client who talked about his life experience as a recovered addict and his experience on social assistance. This session was well received and staff were moved by the speaker's honest discussion of his experience with our office. On October 16, 2007 the Employment Team attended a workshop hosted by the City of Stratford with Ian Hill as the guest speaker. Mr. Hill discussed the topic of change in relation to personal change and motivating change in our clients. On October 30,2007 the Employment Team attended an OMSSA (Ontario Municipal Social Services Association) session on Clients Hobbled by Hidden Disabilities. This session was extremely useful and the information learned has directly effected some of the interactions and experiences we have with clients. The Innovations Fund which trains AZ Truck Drivers is now at seven clients who have either graduated, are working full time or are currently in the training program. 2 The Personal Support Worker and Hairdressing courses at the Adult Learning Centre currently have three and eight of our participants enrolled respectively. The Personal Support Worker course will be completed for this session in February 2008 and the Hairdressing Course in September 2008. The Employment Supervisor met with several representatives of local factories who could be experiencing layoffs in 2008. These meetings were held in an effort to provide information to be passed on to employees regarding our employment services. Child Care: The fall months for the Ontario Works Child Care Department included training new staff on the Ontario Child Care Management System (OCCMS). An up-graded version was installed in the latter part of the year and this resulted in several needed changes including standard reports for statistical data in the areas of Special Needs services and Recreation Camps for school aged children. The Early Learning Centre (ELC) completed construction of their new Child Care Centre at the intersection of Ron McNeil Line and Burwell Road and opened their doors in October as planned. The new centre created 96 new spaces, which filled much quicker than anticipated. The ELC Dalewood Centre is presently experiencing a wait list for some age groups. The demand for child care subsidy requests increased substantially in the 41h quarter with the opening of the new spaces at the ELC, Dalewood. In October, 13 families and 18 children were subsidized at the ELC Dalewood location through Best Start funding. County-wide we now serve a total of 46 children through the Best Start funding envelope. Development of the new Forest Ave Child Care Centre at the corner of Sunset Road and Shaw Valley Drive continues on schedule. This centre will accommodate 98 child care spaces in total and 24 of those spaces will be new Best Start spaces. This facility is on schedule to open in April of 2008. We anticipate the 24 new spaces will also be filled very quickly. The new Junior Kindergarten/Senior Kindergarten program opened by the YWCA, at Mary Street is doing well. The Belmont Next To Mom program began renovation planning on the Belmont Road location. This location will be licensed for 44 child care spaces. They currently have 30 licensed spaces. This is an area of the county that is underserved and the additional spaces are greatly needed. The Best Start Implementation committee meets regularly to continue the development and community collaboration in regard to present and future Hubs. The current operating Hubs are: West Elgin Parent Child Resource Centre; the Ontario Early Years Centre in st Thomas and the YWCA St Thomas Elgin. The latter two hubs were created with Best Start funding. Training for Early Childhood Education Teachers and Support staff along with training for Supervisor and Directors of Child Care programs has been developed with Best Start funds and is being coordinated through the Elgin Child Care Advisory Committee. 3 Social Housina: Canada-Ontario Affordable Housina ProClram update Rental & Supportive (capital! component: Council approved an amendment to the Contribution Agreement with Walter Ostojic & Sons Limited in December to allow for full payment, during construction, of the entire $828,000 in Affordable Housing Program funding. The original agreement required the City to flow the provincial funding share of $513,360 monthly over the 20-year affordabilily period, with the federal portion of $314,640 to be paid during construction. The amendment was necessitated by unforeseen additional legal costs and requirements under the Ontario Mortgage Housing Initiative (OMHI) component of the Affordable Housing Program. Only those projects with twelve units or fewer have the option of upfront funding. The 12-unit Walter Ostojic & Sons project on Steele Street is the only one of the four AHP-funded projects in St. Thomas and Elgin County which qualifies for the upfront funding option. The full AHP assistance has been secured on titie by the City. Meanwhile, the three other AHP projects (the Scott Street project, Caledonia Two in Dutton, and Heritage House in West Lome) are proceeding with construction and/or finalizing mortgage arrangements with OMHI. Homeownership component: Staff began receiving applications under the Homeownership Program on October 23,2007. To date, four applications have been received and approved for down payment assistance in the amount of $7,875. Funding is still available for another twenty home purchases. Of the four approved applications, home purchase prices ranged from $101,000 to a high of $143,000. Maximum home purchase price permitted under the Program is $150,000. Three of the approved home purchases were in SI. Thomas and one was in Bayham Township. Household incomes may not be higher than $55,900. 4 Corporation of City of St Thomas - Ontario Works Income Maintenance Case load Statistics Month Caseload City County Annual Case load Jan-05 878 639 239 Feb-05 903 649 254 Mar-05 905 657 248 895 Apr-05 883 652 231 May-05 837 629 208 Jun-05 823 638 185 872 Jul-05 810 637 173 Aug-05 816 626 190 Sep-05 805 618 187 851 Oct-05 800 598 202 Nov-05 814 591 223 Dec-05 853 571 282 844 Jan-06 885 611 274 Feb-06 881 606 275 Mar-06 893 617 276 886 Apr-06 857 583 274 May-06 841 572 269 Jun-06 800 536 264 860 Jul-06 788 533 255 Aug-06 788 533 255 Sep-06 787 537 250 836 Oct-06 749 514 235 Nov-06 759 523 236 Dec-06 795 552 243 819 Jan-07 829 583 246 Feb-07 863 599 264 Mar-07 892 623 269 861 Apr-07 870 608 262 May-07 874 605 269 Jun-07 848 590 258 863 Jul-07 841 577 264 Aug-07 868 591 277 Sep-07 882 610 272 863 Oct-07 882 610 272 Nov-07 925 644 281 Dec-07 939 655 284 876 876 CY Avg 12 # Months Current YTD QTR 819 YTD Avg 2006 844 YTD Avg 2005 872 YTD Avg 2004 930 YTDAvg 2003 1052 YTD Avg 2002 ~ You forwarded this message on 1/31/20083:49 PM.

Director of Engineering Services 450 Sunset Drive St. Thomas, Ontario N5R 5Vl Subject: Heritage Trees in the Rehabilitation Zone of Talbot Line Dear Clayton, It has come to the attention of the Elgin St. Thomas Heritage Tree Committee that as part of the second phase of the Talbot Line Rehabilitation Project, approximately seventy trees have been identified for removal within the ditch line. As the spokesman for the committee I wish to express my concern that although trees can cause visibility, drifting and shading issues, they are also a very important part of our ecological systems and natural heritage. They should only be removed judiciously and whenever possible should be preserved as part of that natural heritage. Please accept this letter as a request to reconsider the removal of some notable specimens along Talbot Line. As a foIIow up, I would be pleased to meet with you to discuss this matter further and present a short list of heritage trees that are worth saving. I can be reached at the foIIowing: Telephone: 519-631-5204 EmaiI: frank.lattanzio@gmaiLcom Yours truly, Frank Lattanzio, Chairman, Elgin - St. Thomas Heritage Tree Committee.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Peter Dutchak, Manager of Road Infrastructure DATE: January 8, 2007 SUBJECT: Talbot Line Reconstruction - Tree Removals CORPORATE GOALS: To build and maintain an efficient, affordable, effective and safe transportation network that accommodates the diverse needs of our communities and is able to support economic development and sustainable growth. INTRODUCTION: The Talbot Line reconstruction project is a four year, $15 million initiative that will improve 50 kilometres of Talbot Line between Talbotville and the County border with Chatham / Kent. Approximately $5.5 million of the total project cost will be utilizing Federal Gas Tax funds. In 2008, the road surface will be rehabilitated through Dutton / Dunwich, drainage facilities will be improved through West Elgin and engineering will commence through Southwold Township. As part of the 2008 work through West Elgin, numerous trees within the road allowance will be removed. The Elgin - St. Thomas Heritage Tree Committee has requested that eight (8) trees not be removed because of their historical or rarity significance. DISCUSSION: Before significant construction projects commence, staff hosts Public Information Meetings (PIM) in the affected community during the design stage to inform the local ratepayers of the proposed work and gather any local knowledge that may assist with the project. At the PIM held in West Elgin in December in the Hamlet of Eagle, staff was made aware of historically significant trees that are planned to be removed as part of the Talbot Line project. Subsequent to the public meeting, staff met with representatives of the Heritage Tree Committee at each heritage tree site proposed to be removed. Staff proposes to remove trees from the road allowance during reconstruction projects for a number of reasons to protect the roadway investment and for transportation safety purposes. The reasons are as follows: trees adjacent to high speed arterial roads present a physical hazard for motorists, they create maintenance activities, obscure sight lines, cause sub-surface damage to infrastructure, create snow drifting, obscure wildlife, deteriorate the road surface with shading and create wet and icy patches on the roadway. Trees are not permitted to be planted on County Road allowance property to eliminate these issues. When trees are removed from the County property, the tree trunks are offered to the adjacent landowner for their use. The Elgin - St. Thomas Heritage Tree Committee has identified eight (8) trees that the committee deems to be significant because of their rarity, health, age and historical importance and has requested for them to not be removed from the roadway. These trees are listed below: Survey Station Location Tree SDecies 4+360 Bur Oak 9+940 Northern Catalpa 14+280 Austrian Pine 14+300 Austrian Pine 15+980 Red Maple 16+025 Red Maple 16+300 Red Oak 16+980 American Elm Although these trees present a physical hazard for motorists, all locations are beyond the Safety Clear Zone Offset (4.0 metres) from the travelled roadway, therefore, the risk they present is reduced. These trees are within 5 to 8 metres from the edge of road and approximately 1.25 to 7.25 metres from the edge of shoulder. Staff has proposed to remove these trees for the reasons previously stated, however, Council may choose to accept those risks and allow these identified trees to remain. . CONCLUSION: Phase Two of the Talbot Line reconstruction project begins in West Elgin in 2008. As part of the proposed work a number of trees within the road allowance will be removed. The Elgin - St. Thomas Heritage Tree Committee has requested that eight (8) trees proposed to be removed remain. Although it is staff's preference to remove these trees from the right of way for various technical and safety reasons, Council may wish to assume those risks and allow these trees to remain because of their significance to the community. RECOMMENDATION: THAT all trees identified by staff within the Talbot Line road allowance that negatively impact the roadway and its use be removed.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Clayton Watters[ Director of Engineering Services DATE: January 21[ 2008 SUBJECT: Bucks Bridge Rehabilitation CORPORATE GOALS To build and maintain an efficient[ affordable[ effective and safe transportation network that accommodates the diverse needs of our communities and is able to support economic development and sustainable growth. INTRODUCTION The rehabilitation of Bucks Bridge on Ferguson Line in the Municipality of Central Elgin is included in the 2008 Capital Budget. The rehabilitation includes repairs to the deck[ new joints and barrier repairs. A public meeting will be held in order that the community can have input into the traffic disruptions that will be occurring. The meeting is scheduled for March 26[ 2008 at the County of Elgin Administration Building. DISCUSSION The County of Elgin will be hosting a public meeting to inform the community of the rehabilitation of Bucks Bridge on Ferguson Line in Central Elgin. The rehabilitation of the bridge will require the closure of the bridge for up to eight weeks. The proposed construction and safety of the workers requires the bridge to be closed. Staff will be advertising the meeting: in the local papers on two different occasions[ direct mailing to residents in the area and direct mailings to the municipalities of the upcoming meeting. Staff will be seeking from the community which is the most appropriate time to close the bridge to traffic. Since this is in the farming community[ staff must be cognisant of schedules in maintaining their income properties. Staff will be advertising the meeting: in the local papers on two different occasions[ direct mailing to residents in the area and direct mailings to the municipalities of the upcoming meeting. CONCLUSION Bucks Bridge in Central Elgin will be closed to traffic for up to eights weeks this summer to facilitate the rehabilitation of the bridge: deck rehabilitation, deck joints, concrete barriers and other ancillary items. Closing the bridge to traffic reduces the construction costs and time to complete the project. The community's input is required, so that a time for the rehabilitation of the bridge can be selected to minimize disruption to the road users and the agricultural community. The public information meeting will be held at the County Administration Building on March 26, 2008 from 7 till 9 pm. RECOMMENDATION That this report be received and filed.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Clayton Watters, Director of Engineering Services DATE: January 21, 2008 SUBJECT: Dexter Line Environmental Assessment - Phase 1 Update CORPORATE GOALS To build and maintain an efficient, affordable, effective and safe transportation network that accommodates the diverse needs of our communities and is able to support economic development and sustainable growth. INTRODUCTION The Lake Erie shoreline west of Port Bruce is eroding to the extent that Dexter Line is now getting closer to the top of the lake bank. As Council has seen the erosion along Lakeshore Line in the Municipality of Bayham, starting the process to relocate the road takes considerable time, requires extensive technical studies and involves the residents and all stakeholders in that area. Therefore, staff has started the process known as a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to find an acceptable route for Dexter Line along the north shore of Lake Erie. Staff has engaged consultants, with Council's approval, to complete relevant studies so that the County can be well prepared at the initial stages of publiC input. Staff is now at that stage were the first public meeting can be held, that meeting is scheduled for March 19,2008 at the Dexter Hall in Dexter. DISCUSSION The County of Elgin is now in a position to host the first meeting of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA). The first phase of the EA is to 'Identify the problem or the opportunity and discretionary public consultation', The identification and description of the problem or opportunity step will lead to the development of a clear understanding of the statement of the problem or opportunity, this has been completed. The second step, a discretionary public meeting, is important because this project will generate considerable public interest at the local, county and national level. It will involve consultations with local, provincial and federal governments and agencies. In preparation of the first publiC meeting for the EA staff has completed, with Council's approval, the following studies on Dexter Line west of Port Bruce: geotechnical investigation, slope stability assessment, shore line protection design and a topographical survey. These studies which are complete will form part of the environmental assessment. The Problem Statement, which has been approved by County Council, for the Class EA project helps to establish the parameters and scope for the assessment and consultation process. Based on initial project discussions and consultations and existing information, the following is the problem or opportunity statement for this EA: "The section of County Road 24 (Dexter Line) west of Port Bruce that is located near the Lake Erie shoreline (primarily Lots 1, 2 and 3, Concession 1, Township of Malahide. And Lots 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28, Concession 1, Municipality of Central Elgin is subject to the natural hazards of shoreline erosion. A long term, cost effective solution is required that meet the needs of the County of Elgin and is consistent with the provisions of the Provincial Statement, 2005. The preferred solution should also be one that maintains an access road to the Port Bruce community from the west, which does not cross Catfish Creek. Preliminary studies indicate that the preferred solution will require the relocation of a portion of County Road 24 and / or shoreline protection. Road relocation will need to include provisions for local property access to the new road, and address the closure and disposition of the existing road section. Where shoreline protection is proposed consideration is required to minimize any possible adverse environmental impacts. A permanent access route will be needed to construct and maintain all erosion protection structures, pOSSibly requiring property or easement." Staff will be advertising the meeting: in the local papers on two different occasions, direct mailing to residents in the area and direct mailings to the municipalities of the upcoming meeting. CONCLUSION The project is similar to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment that was completed on Lakeshore Line, in the Municipality of Bayham for the County of Elgin. The added complication to this project is the requirement to complete the Federal Environmental Assessment. Potential solutions include work within the Lake Erie shoreline which involves the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. These two assessments while similar must be completed concurrently in order that time is not wasted completing the Ontario Municipal Class EA and then proceeding with the Canadian EA. The first public meeting will be held at the Dexter Hall in Dexter on March 19, 2008 from 7 till 9 pm. RECOMMENDATION That this report be received and filed. Respectfully Submitted MJJv4WK Clayton D. Watters Director of Engineering Services Approved for Submission ;!:[~) - Chief Administrative Officer Elgin County Road 24 (Dexter Line) Relocation Project County of Elgin Class Environmental Assessment (Phase 1) PRELIMINARY PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE A section of Elgin County Road 24 (Dexter Line) located In the Municipality of Central Elgin and the Township of Maiahlde, between Martyn Line and County Road 731n Port Bruce, will require relocation as a result of shoreline erosion. As the lake Erie shoreline conllnues to erode, it Is expected that a section of the existing road will become unsafe and have to be closed to traffic. Various alternatives are being considered to provide a long term solution to the problem. The Study Area for this project extends from lake Erie north to Include the section of County Road 24 between Martyn Line and County Road 73, plus alternative road alignments In an area bounded by lake Erie, County Road 36 on the west, Sparta Line to the north and County Road 73 to the east. The proposed project is being planned under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) procedure Is a planning process for projects that are recurring and usually similar in nature,limlted In scale, have a predictabie range of environmental effects and are responsive to mitigating measures. The current Phase 1 review Is Intended to Identify the scope of the problem and possibie alternatives. Public and regulatory agency input Is being requested. A PRELIMINARY PUBLIC MEETING will be heid on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19,2008, at 7:00 p.m., at DEXTER HAll,located at 44805 DEXTER LINE, Central Elgin.

A long-term, cost-effective solution Is required that meets County of Elgin requirements and Is consistent with the Ontario Provincial Policy Statement, 2005, and other regulations. The preferred solution should also be one that provides an access road to the Pori Bruce community from the west and does not cross Catfish Creek (which Is subject to potential flooding). Preliminary studies Indicate that the preferred solution will require the relocation of a portion of County Road 24 and/or shoreline protect/on. Road relocation will need to inciude provisions for local property access to the new road, and address the closure and disposition of the existing road sect/on. Where shoreline protection Is proposed, consideration Is required to minimize any possible adverse environmental Impacts. A permanent access route will be needed to construct and maintain all erosion protection structures, possibly requiring property or easement acquisition. The Study Area for the problem Is primarily the section of County Road 24 that Is subject to shoreline erosion, plus potential alignments for a relocated road and lake Erie shoreline areas where erosion protection measures are needed to protect County Road 24. 3 ALTERNATIVES FOR CONSIDERATION The Municipal Class EA planning process Includes requirements on the type and range of alternatives that are to be considered. For example, the "Do Nothing" option requires consideration. The current preliminarv list of Alternatives Includes the following: 1A. Relocate County Road 24 and construct one shoreline groyne for road protection 1B. Relocate County Road 24 and construct a breakwall for road protection 2. Retain existing County Road 24 alignment and construct full shore protection 3. Relocate County Road 24 to an existing municipal roads (potential roads Include Martyn Line, Jamestown Line, Rush Creek Line) 4. Close County Road 24 west of Port Bruce to County Road 36 5. Do Nothing Not all of the alternatives listed are viable solutions. A subsequent phase of the Class EA will Include an evaluation of alternatives and provide a further opportunity for public consultation. SPRIET ASSOCIATES - 2008.02.04 - 2031821 F02.wpd 4 RECENT PROJECT ACTIVITIES As preparation for Ihe Class EA planning process, some lechnlcal sludles have been underlaken 10 delermlne Ihe extent and nalure of shoreline erosion, and Idenlify feasible solutions. More recenlly, It has also been determined that County Road 24 is also subject to slope stability concerns at a location just west of Port Bruce where there Is erosion from Catfish Creek. The following Is a brief outline of recent and ongoing project work. Shoreline Profection - Proposed Groyne Structure Shoreplan Engineering Limited has previouslyunderlaken an engineering review of possible shoreline erosion prolection measures. One approach being considered is conslructlon of a compact groyne slructure. A preliminary plan of a proposed groyne and related work has been submitted to the Mlnlstryof Nalural Resources for com ment. The proposed groyne slructure would be evaluated In the Class EA as pari of Allernatlve 1A. Geotechnical Assessment - Catfish Creek Slope near County Rd. 24 Golder Associates has prepared a draft reporl titled 'Geotechnical Assessment and Investigation, Catfish Creek Slope, Elgin County Road 24 (Dexter Line), County of Elgin, Ontario", dated June 15, 2007. This reporl provides an extensive geotechnical review of slope conditions along Catfish Creek for Ihe area near County Road 24. Monitoring Program - Shoreline Erosion Golder Associates, and Terraprobe L1miled, have compleled geolechnlcal reports on shoreline erosion conditions within paris of the sludy area. Golder Assoclales has also advised the County on a monitoring program for the shoreline. As pari of a monitoring program, Spriel Associates have recently completed an updated lopographic survey of Ihe shoreline 10 show the new top of bank localion since the initial shoreline survey in 2003. Relocation of Township of Malahide Watermain An existing Township of Malahide walermaln exlends along County Road 24. The Township of Malahide Waler and Waste Water Operations Manager has asked that Ihe Township be Included In the environmental assessment for County Road 24 relocation. There Is a concern that the watermaln would have 10 be relocated with the road. 5 CONSULTATION AND FUTURE STUDIES As indlcaled In the attached Public Meeting Notice, public Input Is requesled, and should be directed to eilher Ihe Counly of Elgin or Sprlet Assoclales. Wrltlen submissions can be sent by mall, fax or e-mail and will be included in the project documentation that will be available for public review during a subsequent pari of the Class EA planning process. Preliminary project information Is also being sent to regulalory agencies for com m ant. During the nexl phase of the Class EA the project alternatives will be Investigated in more detail. It is expected that a range of technlcai studies, from furlher engineering and geotechnical Investigations to an archaeological assessment and environmental Impact studywlll be required. Where needed, specific properly owners will be contacled by project consultants to obtain access 10 private properly for the purpose of obtaining study information. The information collected in these technical sludles will be made public during a future public consultation program. Any questions on project detalis should be direcled to either Clayton Wallers, Elgin County Director of Engineering Services, or John Sprlel, Project Engineer, at Sprlet Associates.

To recognize and seize opportunities for improvement INTRODUCTION: Policy 13.10 defines acceptable use for computer equipment, software, internet access and internet em ail. This report recommends a change to the policy to address the use of corporation wide "all users" email distribution list. DISCUSSION: The corporate email system, Microsoft Exchange, includes a system maintained distribution list, "all users", that allows a user to send an internal email to all corporate email accounts. An example of the user of the distribution list is when the Information Technology Department sends a notice of a system maintenance activity that will affect all users on the network. Recently several none work related, seemingly harmless emails have been distributed to "all users". As harmless as these emails may seem to be there is potential that, if this practice proliferates, system resources will be negatively affected. If sending em ails to "all users" becomes common practice, the email system could grind to a halt, disk space availability could be affected and negatively affect staff productivity. In order to avoid a potential problem, staff is recommending that Policy 13.10 be updated to include a clause within the "Unacceptable and inappropriate Internet and email use" section as follows: Sending emails to "all users" must receive prior authorization from a department director before being sent. CONCLUSION: Use of the "all users" distribution list has potential to affect systems operation and disk space availability if limits are not set to its use. For this reason staff is recommending a change to policy 13.10 to include a clause within the "Unacceptable and inappropriate Internet and email use" section as follows: Sending emails to "all users" must receive prior authorization from a department director before being sent. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Policy 13.10 - Acceptable Use Policy For Computer Equipment, Software, Internet Access and Internet E-mail be modified to include the following clause: Sending emails to "all users" must receive prior authorization from a department director before being sent. Within the Unacceptable and inappropriate Internet and email use section of the policy.

For the purposes of this policy, electronic communications includes electronic mail, text messaging and voice mail which are defined as follows: Electronic mail: The transmission of typed messages andlor attached documents of unlimited length over an electronic telecommunications network that can be read and replied to using either a personal computer or hand-held device. Text messaging: The transmission of short, textual messages over a telecommunications network that can be read and replied to using a portable phone, pager, personal digital assistant, or other handheld device. Voice mail: The transmission of verbal messages sent over a telecommunications network stored in a private recording medium wherein the called party can later retrieve the messages. General Principles It is generally recognized that most electronic communications are temporary in nature and can be routinely discarded. However, on occasion these communications may also take on the properties of a record, thereby requiring active management under the County's records retention by-law. For the purposes of this policy, a record can be defined as recorded communications made or received in connection with official County business that are retained because they contain evidence which has a direct bearing upon the outcome of that business. The overlying principle in this policy is that decisions regarding retention of electronic communications and the extent to which they constitute a corporate record are at the discretion of the end-user. The end-user must assess if the communication's content affects the County's corporate interests and must decide if on-going retention is required to protect those interests.

Retention is determined by the content of the communication, not the format. For instance, an electronic communication pertaining to the outcome of a tender application should be retained and filed in the appropriate file folder for tender applications along with other records if the end-user determines that the communication has a binding impact on the outcome of the tender and if it could impact the corporation's interests in that tender. Methods of Retention Electronic communications, particularly electronic mail systems, are not storage mechanisms on their own. Back-up tapes produced by Information Technology are for disaster recovery purpose only and should not be viewed as a method of retention. "In- boxes" and "sent messages" folders are also not formal methods of retention and may be subject to culling upon notice by the Director of Information Technology. To ensure an electronic communication is retained, it must be filed. The following procedures are recommended for those electronic communications that require on-going retention: 1. For electronic mail, users are encouraged to create a permanent file folder within Outlook in which both sent messages and any in-bound messages of corporate interest can be filed. One simple approach is to establish a permanent folder each year within the "Cabinet" section of Outlook. This folder could be called "Permanent2006". It is recommended that a new file folder be created each year for future retrieval and retention review purposes. Alternatively, users can also establish a permanent folder within "Cabinet" that corresponds to a specific file code under the County's records retention policy. This should also be established on an annual basis. Using the example of tender applications, all messages pertaining to this subject which need to be retained can be filed in a folder called "F18-2006".

Electronic mail messages can be transferred to Laserfiche (the County's electronic document management system) using the software's "snapshot" feature. The message can then be added to the appropriate electronic folder along with all other relevant documentation. This approach has the added benefit of immediately linking the content of messages with all other types of documentation in a manner that is much easier to search and that still has legal standing as evidence. The original message in Outlook can then be deleted given that Laserfiche preserves the "meta-data" behind that message for legal admissibility. Further guidance on how to use this feature can be obtained from the County's Information Technology Department. 3. Electronic communications can be printed and filed in the appropriate paper- based folder. In such cases, the electronic communication should also be maintained using one of the above methods in order to preserve meta-data for legal reasons. It is also possible to convert important voice mails and text messages into a permanent folder within Outlook and ultimately Laserfiche. Staff within Information Technology can provide further guidance on how to utilize this feature. Responsibility for Retention The sender of the electronic communication is responsible for ensuring proper retention of messages sent intra-County. All other copies are duplicates and may be deleted. Communications from outside of the County are the responsibility of the recipient. Previous responses to the same message should be deleted as further communications take place. Users should avoid retaining each stage of a forwarded message or response. Only the latest communication should be retained as long as it contains the message history.

DISCUSSION I CONCLUSION: Currently, the County Emergency Response Plan and Emergency Notification Appendix, designates the CAO is the Alternate for the CEMC and vice versa. In an effort to broaden the base of trained individuals who can act in various capacities, it is proposed that the Director of Engineering receive the training required of a CEMC and to act in the capacity of Alternate CEMC. To receive CEMC training from Emergency Management Ontario one must be designated by the governing body as a CEMC or Alternate CEMC. RECOMMENDATION: That Council designate the Director of Engineering Services, as Alternate CEMC to allow him to obtain the required training with the goal of increasing the County's preparedness and resilience in Emergency Management. Respectfully Submitted Approved for Submission h",I~J Chief Administrative Officer cX~c- ~~co{<",~ Larysa ndruslak, Ambulance & Emergency Management Coordinator REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Linda B. Veger, Director of Financial Services Jennifer Ford, Financial Analyst DATE: January 28, 2008 SUBJECT: Fees and Charges - Defaulted Fines CORPORATE GOAL(S) REFERENCED: To ensure fiscal responsibility and accountability. INTRODUCTION: The County is responsible for collecting defaulted fines and has utilized different methods such as direct collections efforts by a County employee, a collection agency, and more recently a collections agreement with another municipality. Up to the present, the Municipalities, through their share of net revenues, have absorbed the cost of collecting without transferring any on to the defendant. DISCUSSION: Under the Provincial Offences Act once a ticket has moved into default, usually ninety (91) days, responsibility for collecting the fines moves away from the Court and becomes the responsibility of the County. The County is free from the constraints placed on the Court by the Ministry. As such, the County has the opportunity to add the cost of collections to the amount of the delinquent ticket. Section 391 (1) of the Municipal Act states "Without limiting sections 9, 10 and 11, those sections authorize a municipality to impose fees or charges on persons, (a) for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it;". The City of Ottawa has collected fees on top of delinquent fines for several years and has, in fact, been audited by the Ministry of the Attorney General. The Ministry did not have issue with this practice. The County is moving into an agreement with the Region of Durham and this may be an opportune time to consider collecting a fee on top of the fine amount. Council has already agreed to add the collection agency commission to the fine amount. Staff suggests that a percentage fee of 25% would be a reasonable charge to add to the amount owed by the defendant. See below for some examples of the fee: Fine Amount Collection County of Elgin Total to be Agency Fee Fee Collected $100 $16.90 $25.00 $141.90 $500 $84.50 $125.00 $709.50 $2,000 $338.00 $500.00 $2,838.00 By passing along costs, the responsibility passes from the taxpayers of the County to the defendants. CONCLUSION: The cost of collecting delinquent fines is now borne by the municipalities, and therefore the taxpayers, where the offences occurred. The Region of Durham has the processes to add and track additional fees that could be added to the amount owing on delinquent fines. Although permission is not required from the Ministry of the Attorney General, staff will advise them of Council's decision. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the cost of collecting delinquent fines be charged back to the defendant as a percentage of the fine; and, THAT the Fees and Charges By-Law be updated to include this fee; and, THAT staff report back to Council on the appropriateness of percentage selected; and, THAT the Ministry of the Attorney General be advised of the new charges.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Jennifer Ford, Financial Analyst Linda Veger, Director of Financial Services Clayton Watters, Director of Engineering Services DATE: January 31, 200S SUBJECT: Capital Projects Budget as of January 2S, 200S CORPORATE GOAL REFERENCED: To ensure fiscal responsibility and accountability INTRODUCTION: In October 2007, the approved capital projects budget stood at $24,024,763 with a remaining project budget of $5,702,147. This report serves to further update Council on the status of capital projects to January 2S, 200S. Appendices A, B and C have been included for Council's information. DISCUSSION: Appendix A: This report outlines for Council the projects and their progress as of January 2S, 200S. Funding from government programs continues to be applied to their respective project budgets as payments are received. Budget Update: Project Budaet $ 24,024,763 Remaining Project Budget $ 5,702,146 Balance Forward - October 2007: Additional Funding Received since October 2007: JEPP Funding Hoidback 2006 Federal Gas Tax Revenue 2007 Rent - White Street Station 2,765 628,030 5,927 Total Projects 24,661,485 3,619,064 Appendix B: These projects have been taken from Appendix A and are listed as suggested projects for closure. All projects are 100% complete with no outstanding invoices and a brief explanation has been provided for variances over $10,000 to the original estimated budget. The surplus from the proposed closed projects amounts to $303,940 once the capital shortfall for 2007 has been covered. Appendix C: The projects listed in this report will be carried forward into 2008 and included in addition to the balance of the 2008 capital projects budget which has yet to be approved by Council. Some projects in this category are nearing completion but have outstanding hold backs and invoices to be paid and therefore cannot be closed at the time of this report. CONCLUSION: Staff recommend that projects listed in Appendix B be closed and that the remaining surplus of $303,940 be maintained in project 9000-07 Capital Surplus - 2007. Staff will bring forward a report with recommendations on the use of these surplus capital funds. RECOMMENDATION: THAT projects in Appendix B be closed and the surplus of $303,940 be added to project 9000-07 - Capital Surplus - 2007; and, THAT staff bring forth a report recommending the use of the surplus funds; and, THAT the report titled Capital Projects Budget as of January 28, 2008 and dated January 31,2008 be received and filed: Respectfully Submitted i1~~ J nmfe ord Financial Analyst ~~A~(J,(/v Linda Veger (J Director of Financial Services Approved for Submission ~c,DO",ld ) Chief Administrative Officer -------- ihrJch~, ' Clayton Watters Director of Engineering Services .... f ,- " .5 .c ......

Veger, Director of Financial Services DATE: January 29, 2008 SUBJECT: 2008 Capital - Additional 2% CORPORATE GOAL'S) REFERENCED: To ensure fiscal responsibility and accountability. INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION: At the January 22, 2008 County Council meeting staff was directed to determine additional capital projects that could be completed if the proposed budget for capital was increased by approximately 2% - $123,000. Engineering staff suggest that the funds be directed to roads requiring thin cold mix overlay. The current cost is roughly $15,000 per kilometre. The $123,000 would equate to seven kilometres. The recommended project is: Road 8 - Currie Road (Aberdeen to Thames River) 6.72 km $126,000 If Council were to approve additional dollars over and above the 2%, the projects recommended are - thin cold mix overlay: Road 16 - Fingal Line (Fingal to St. Thomas) 9.7 km Road 9 - Duff Line (Currie Road to 14) 9.0 km for a grand total of $478,000 to complete the above three projects. $182,000 $170,000 If Council were to approve $500,000, the above three projects would be replaced with resurfacing Calton Line (Road #45) between Plank Road (Road #19) and the Elgin/Norfolk townline (Road #55). CONCLUSION: An increase of 2% to the capital budget would allow for an additional seven kilometres of thin cold mix overlay. Staff has also suggested projects with values greater than 2% for Council's consideration. RECOMMENDATION: As determined by Council.

Veger, Director of Financial Services DATE: February 4, 2008 2008 Budget Highlights - Update SUBJECT: CORPORATE GOAL(S) REFERENCED: To ensure fiscal responsibility and accountability. INTRODUCTION/DISCUSSION Attached is the updated 2008 proposed budget. The changes from the last budget received by Council are as follows: Line 10 - Homes for Seniors Services - reduction of 236,187. The Homes Directors carefully reviewed and reduced where possible. The benefit lines include a small increase and will be very close or may be slightly over budget by year end. Line 19 - Ambulance Services - the increase in staffing in St. Thomas, if approved in the budget, will not be realized until later in the year. The annual increase of 260,000 has been reduced by approximately one half. Line 23 - Grants - reduced 244,533 - The Hospital request of $1 million over four years could be deferred until 2009. This ties in with the recommendation to City of St. Thomas Council. The 2008 advance to the International Plowing Match committee (67,000) has been set up as a repayable loan and not a grant. Line 31 - Reserve for Terrace Lodge - increased by 100,000. To date, the County has very little set aside for this large project. Line 31 - Reserve for OMPF - reduced to -0-. The Province has not indicated whether or not it will continue with plans to reduce the OMPF. Line 31 - Reserve for International Plowing Match - 125,000 - as agreed by Council, 250,000 is to be directed to the plowing match. The second 125,000 will be included in the 2009 budget. These changes have reduced the proposed budget increase to 4.75%. As an example, a residential property assessed at $175,000 would see an increase in County taxes as follows: $175,000 X 2007 tax rate of .558016% $175,000 X 2008 estimated tax rate of .578150 Increase in County taxes $ 976,53 1,011.76 $ 35.23 CONCLUSION: The attached budget reflects changes since the January 16, 2008 draft.

I would like to encourage community culture partners to work with their municipal council to discuss current cultural infrastructure projects so that council may consider applying for funding from the Government of Ontario's Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative. This initiative was announced last week by my colleague, the Honourable David Caplan, Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal. This exciting initiative is a $300 million, one-time grant program that plays a large role in our government's plan to renew public infrastructure in communities throughout Ontario. The program aims to support as many local infrastructure projects as possible, including cultural infrastructure projects. Eligible projects must be construction-ready, meaning that all required studies and approval processes (such as environmental assessments) have been, or will soon be, completed to allow the project to proceed to tendering and construction. Please note that funding applications for this competitive process must be submitted to Infrastructure Ontario by February 15, 2008, and successful applicants will be announced no later than March 31. Everything you need to know about the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative, as well as details about the application process, is available online at www.infrastructureontario.ca. I hope that that you find this information helpful. Please accept my best wishes for a successful 2008. Yours truly, vp';/ // /) ';;::f {/~1. l aM61.f!( M.

The FCM released its National Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness in Vancouver today which calls for greater federal funding to address Canada's affordable housing shortage and eliminate chronic homeless ness, "The Federal Government must put an end to the chronic uncertainty around affordable housing in this country and playa strong leadership role by committing to a long-term strategy working with provinces and municipalities as well as the community sector," said FCM President, Gord Steeves. "Ontario municipalities are struggling to manage housing services that were downloaded to municipalities in the 1990s, and declining federal investments in housing and homelessness programs is one of the most significant financial risks that Ontario's municipalities face today," said Doug Reycraft, President of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. "Engaging the federal government in a national housing strategy is a priority for municipal governments in every part of Ontario." More than 100,000 people who need housing in Ontario sit on waiting lists - some for as long as twelve years. Addressing affordable housing and homelessness is a core component of poverty reduction and is directly related to positive health and education outcomes as well as vibrant and economically strong communities. In addition to the social costs of homelessness, the lack of affordable housing will continue to result in high costs in emergency and institutional response systems, including paramedic and police services, hospital and shelter expenses, criminal justice costs, and rehabilitation services. "The lack of a comprehensive, sustained strategy to address the pressures of affordable housing and chronic homelessness is an economic issue with consequences for every order of government," said Reycraft. "The commitment and cooperation of federal, provincial and municipal orders of government, is needed immediately to find solutions and help Canadians in need."

A copy of AMO's 2008 Pre-Budqet Submission is linked to this Alert. The Submission builds on AMO's campaign for a new provincial-municipal fiscal relationship, It recognises the significant changes the Province has made in the last year to address long-standing inequities and seeks continued transformation to strengthen the competitiveness of Ontario's communities. A key milestone was reached last year when Premier McGuinty announced a timed, full upload of two entire, key social programs - the Ontario Disability Support Program and the Ontario Drug Benefits Program. This change will reduce the province's reliance on property tax revenues by $935 million a year by 2011. Despite these and other improvements in cost sharing arrangements, Ontarians continue to pay the highest property taxes in Canada, Highlights of the 2008 AMO submission include: . The need for further uploading of health and social service program costs; and . The need for additional investment in the municipal infrastructure that provides a foundation for the provincial economy. These costs/needs are shared by all municipalities and their respective property taxpayers. In addition, other matters that relate to different groups of municipalities were also raise, among them: . The need for additional provincial investment in Broadband to support communities, small business and industry; . The cost to municipalities of providing service to crown lands; . The need for the Province to address the "heads and beds" levy paid in lieu of property taxes for provincial institutions such as universities and hospitals - which has been frozen since 1987; and . The need for the Province to take back the costs of providing security services in provincial courts, AMO calls on the government to continue the transformation that will ensure a sustainable fiscal future for Ontario's communities into the 21st century.

Ontario property taxpayers fund Provincial Government programs and services to an extent that would shock other Canadians. In fact almost half of every property tax dollar collected in Ontario flows through municipalities to pay for Provincial Government programs and services, such as education, social assistance, long-term care for seniors, public health, ambulance services, child care and social housing. According to Statistics Canada data, Ontarians pay approximately $237 more per person in property taxes than property tax payers in the rest of Canada. At the same time, the Ontario Government spends $258 less per person on health and social services programs than other provinces. There is a direct correlation between Ontario's high property taxes and the Ontario Government's unique reliance on property tax revenue. Ontario municipalities perform admirably in a direct dollar-for-dollar comparison of municipal costs for municipal services. Municipalities are currently working with the Ontario Government to develop a new fiscal relationship that considers affordability, sustain ability and the delivery of quality services. Success is vital to the quality of Ontario's environment, infrastructure, public services and prosperity.
