FIRST REPORT

Page 2.
County Council. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications
has changed the method of computation of subsidy available and it
appears that the County is eligible for approximately $ 37,900 in subsidy
on extra e:x:penditures of approximately $ 50,500 for winter control in
1977.
(2) That the Township of Malahide be informed that in the County Road
Cvuuuittee opinion; the road between Concession VIII and IX Ma1ahid.~
between County Road 32 and Highway 73 does not meet the criterae of
the Ministry of Transportation and COITnllunicHtlons as [l County Road.
The Committee is of the opinion that the Ontario Police College is
adequately served by existing County Road 32 and in the long run the
present connection to County Road 52 is a better connection than an'
other parallel connection westerly to Highway 73.
We have been informed by Ministry of Natural Resources that they expect
to attract up to 2,000 vehicles per day at certain times of the'year to
their Wildlife Santuary and viewing area near the Police College.
All OfW11ich Is Respectfully Submitted.

CHAIRMAN
COUNTY OF ELGIN
INSURANCE REVIEW 1977
The following is a list of Policies in effect on County Buildings,
Property and Liability. Unless otherwise stated Policies are through the
Frank Cowan Company and are due January 29, 1977 and have been under a Binder
Policy to keep them in effect until the Committee has reviewed them.
Although a number of Policies have not increased in the rate
charged, a considerable increase 20 - 25% has since last year in fleet rates.
This increase along with the increase in value of the insured building,
machinery, etc. has again increased the County total insurance bill. Last
year the CVlll1uiittee in an effort to reduce cost s decided to increase the
deductible por!tion of some of the greater cost Insurance Policies. Along
with Fleet Insurance the Municipal Liabil ity Pol icies havle increased steeply.
1. Mup.icioa1 .Liabi1itv.
Limits per claim $ 5,000,000.
The County's general liability Policy protects, roads, non licensed
..
equipment, the Court House Block and contains libel and slander clause.
The Elgin Manor and any Spraying Liability is insured under other Policies.
In 1976 the cost of the entire policy was $ 4,473.55 'while in 1977 it will
be $ 6,941.71.
The Road Department portion in 1976 was $ 599.62 non subidized against the
County 300 miles of road and $ 2,810.68 liability charged against 29
pieces of non licensed equipment which was subsidized.
The Road Department costs will follow the general liability increase.
The 1977 Policy contains the Employer's Liability Clause which covers the
County in the case an employee is not considered a workman under the
Workmen's Compensation Board. Previously this coverage had been provided
with the c.ompensation insurance, but the Frank Cowan Company no longer
writes tha.t type of a policy.

2. Non Owned Auto
LiabHity limitS, $. 5,000,000 p~otects County against dat1lllge suits, etc.
involving: vehicles not owned by the County but working for the County
(e. g. pr!ivate dt.llDP trucks, private ca~s, etc.). LiabHity for
licensed vehicles borrowed or acqui~ed by the County is $. 50,000.
Cost in 1\976 was $ 257. and is the same in 1977.

Although ,our merit rating ort both collision and comprehensive is very
good the gene~al increases (2) in insurance rates since last year will
increaSe "costsconsiderab~y, Last year's Prel)\ium was $. 7,917 with one
truck beiirtg added during the year and several vehicles traded for newer
and mo~e :e,cpensive models. The 1971 cost for Fleet InsU~ance of 28
vehicles:and a float is $. 10,058. The insured value of the vehicles is
$ 343,000.
.,
We have ~eviewed the GUaranteed Amounts and have not raised them frOlll
last year but will review them this $p~ing as various vehicles are
re.p1aced,and make any changes neceSsa:t::'Y.
4. Non Licensed Eq~ipmertt Floater
All Non Ilicensed Equipment, Snow PlowS, Tools, etc. are protected against
fire, wind, collision, upset, theft, etc. by a subscription Policy with a
value of over 1 million through Frank Cowan Company-
In an eHect to reduce 'the cost last year a $. 1,000 Deductible Clause was
put into effect per occurrence.
The ~ates are .8 of l'l'. of the u'sted value of the equipment including
SrtOW 1'10w Equipment and .72 of 1% on $. 50,000 worth of tools, unlisted
equipment, stock, etc. and $. BO yearly on $. 50,000 worth of leased o~
borrowed equipment.
Equipment costs have soa~ed in the past year (particularly graders) and
increase in the listed value of the equipment has been necessary. To

reduce the cost of insurance some of our older pi(~ces of equipment have
been reduced' 'in value to the value of a similar piece of used equipment.
(Examples - Grader #13, Steel Wheeled Roller, etc.)
Total value of listed is approximately $ 1,046,500 plus $ 94,500 in
Snow Plowing Equipment.
5. Radio Floater
Separate Floater Policy insuring Mobiles, Base Station and Tower.
Premium is $, 640 as in 1975 and 1976. No deductible. (Savings
insignificant)
6. Surveying Equipment Floater
Present Policy in force until January 1978.
7. Boiler and M:ac.hinery Policy
(Also known as EngineertngPolicy)
Thi$ Policy insures boilers, pressure tanks, such as in the Garage
Boiler, pressure tanks on the air compressor and paint sprayer. There
..
was a Liability limit of $ 5,000,000 and a $ 200,00 property damage
clause on our property if an explosion occurred.
The General Accident Company is no longer writing Boiler Insurance and
is replaced by the Quarantee Company. The general incrE~ase in rates will
result in a charge increase from $ 203 to $ 423.
8. Weed Spray PP1icy
This Policy was not used in 1976 but a similar policy was used for
mosquito spraying liability.
9. Bond
Blanket Bond in amount of$ 50,000 on all County Emp10YE~es for protection
of Gounty against theft, vandalism, etc. Our share of the cost in 1977
will be $ 138.77 as in 1976.

Department pays on $ 45,000 of this'. Premium about $ 95 annually. Policy

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
THIRD REPORT
MARCH SESSION
1977
TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL:
Yom~ ROAD COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That a ReBolution be passed requesting the Ministry of Transportation
and Commullications to approve the sum of $ 7,400 in subsidy money for
extra Winter Control costs from January 1, 1977 to April 30, 1977.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has adopted a policy
that will allow Municipalities extra costs if their costs are over 20%
of cost of the highest of 3 proceeding years. We expect to be
approximately $ 10,000 over the 20% over our 1976 costs. SubSidy will
be paid on the average subsidy of the previous year (which in our case
amounts to approximately $ 7,400).
2. That a By..Law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to sign an
Agreement granting the Minister of the Environment the right to place
a watHr pipeline on a portion of Lot 10, Concession I, Bayham. Thi.s
is a cut off corner of land on Road 42 near Port Burwe 11 and wi 11 bE:'
crossed by the Ministry of the Environment water pipeline to Vienna.
All Of Which Is Respectfully Submitted.

1977 BUDGET SOLID WASTE
Rpvi. seq
March 2, 1977.
After consultation with the County Treasurer and County Auditor
we find that the Solicitor's invoice for past work in amount of $ 3,016.50
will be regar'ded as a charge against the 1976 Budget rather than the 1977
Budget. In view of the projected lengthy Hearing on the Application of
St. Thomas Sanitary Collection Services Ltd. and our requirement for
information on road costs, etc. and the possibility that our Solicitor may
have to atten.d a large portion of the Hearing we SUggE'st that a Budget of
$ 3~OOO be adopted for 1977.

ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION REPORT

TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION:
Attached to this report is a Statement of Expenditures for 1976
and a Proposed Budget for 1977.
1976's operations resulted in a small decrease ($ 350 .:t) in the
deficit of the. City of St. Thomas.
Again in 1976 portions of Road 30 were assumed and reverted for
construction purposes. This will again be necessary in 1977 as the $ 101,000
budget for the. project will fall apout $ 90,000 short of completing the road.
This amount has been placed in the County Budget to allow for the completion
of the road. Later in 1977 a programme for 1978 will have to be decided
upon in conjunction with the County of Elgin Road COlll1ldttee.
Maiatenance Expenditures especially for winter control and
maintenance of pavements are expected to be considerably higher than normal
again in 1977. Although it is too early to be certain, all signs point to
an extremely bad spring breakup because of the depth of frost. As the
Suburban Roads must be opened first and maintained to a high standard
average costs per mile are much higher than the County Roads. An increase
in Safety Devices is shown to take care of the cost of erecting metric road
signs.
Unfortunately routine maintenance will suffer (such as grass
cutting, guid.e rail, bridge painting, etc.).
Drainage Assessments against Suburban Roads include Vineden Drive
Drain on Road 25. p.artial1y completed in 1976 and McBane Drain which will
include the boring of Wellington Road in Concession XI Yarmouth.
The anticipated deficit to 1978 will remain constant from 1976
at approximately $ 2,000.
All Of Which Is Respectfully Submitted.

In 19,76 Net County Costs were $ 6,935.
As most of the mapping has been reasonably cumplE~ted and there
is a rumour that the Elgin - St. Thomas Health Unit would be subsidized for
the use of student staff, we suggest an Interi.m Budget of :1>> 5,000 to take
care of costs of Training Schools, Ministry of the Environrnent Licencing,
Vehicle 'rrf.r\rel aud Regld.l~l:' I!inplQyeos (Ray Colllilrd and Gary Gor-don) tluat

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD DEPARTMENT
BUDGET 1977
February 1977.
TO THE CHAImmN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE:
Atta.ched to this report is a proposed Budg~t. To c,vUlply with
Ministry of Transportation and Connnunications ,I pro6edure started in
December 1976 with the Payroll Burden of County Employees included in the
budgeted amOUli,lt.
COUNTY MAINTENANCE
It appears that 1977 will be a repeat of 1976, even more so.
The financial killer is Winter control and as at the present
time we are running $ 50,000 over our 1976 levels a "break" is necessary
for us to remain below our budgeted amount of $ 310,000.
Although it is too soon to tell, all indications point to a heavy
spring break up with its companion problems of costly repairs to pavem~nt!S,
surface treatment and gravel resurfacing.
The only betterment progrannne we are proceeding with in 1977 will
be metric signs_ All other maintenance items have been cut to a low
standard of service. We have not budgeted for weed spraying and grass
cutting in 1977 will be less than in 1976. Sweeping will be curtailed"
although we expect the Ministry of Transportation and Cormnunications to
increase the rental rate we can allow ourselves for our sweeper, thus
increasing the Budget cost but at the same time increasing our revenues
which will help offset our non-subsidized expenditures.
Any increase in maintenance costs in any category will have to
come from our construction as all maintenance items have been cut lower
than possible. The combinati.on of severe witl'ters and a lack of construction
':~
money is taki.ng its toll on the County Roads as many of the older pavements
are requiring added maintenance to keep them in service until we can re-
construct them.

ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION REPORT
February 1977.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION:
Attached to this report is a Statement of Expenditures for 1976
and a Proposed Budget for 1977.
1976ts operations resulted in a small decrease ($ 350 i) in the
deficit of the City of St. Thomas.
Again in 1976 portions of Road 30 were assumed and reverted for
co'nstruction purposes. This will again be necessary in 1977 as the $ 101,000
budget for the project will fall about $ 90,000 short of completing the road.
This amount has been placed in the County Budget to allow for the completion
of the road. Later in 1977 a programme for 1978 will have to be decided
upon i.n conjunction wi.th the County of Elgin Road C(JUl.lui ttee.
Maintenance Expenditure~ especially for winter control and
maintenance of pavements are expected to be considerably higher than normal
again in 1977. Although it is too early to be certain, all signs point to
an extremely bad spring breakup because of the depth of frost. As the
Suburban Roads must be opened first and maintained to a high standard
average costs per mile are much higher than the County Roads. An increase
in Safety Devices is shown to take care of the cost of erecting metric road
signs.
Unfortunately routine mt.iintenance will suffer (such as grass
cutting, guide rail, bridge painting, etc.).
Drainage Assessments against Suburban Roads include Vineden Drive
Drain on Road 25,p~rtially completed in 1976 and McBane Drain which will
include the boring of Wellington Road in Concession XI Yarmouth.
The anticipated deficit to 1978 will remain constant from 1976
at approximately $ 2,000.
l:'.
All Of Which Is Respectfully Submitted.

J;::tl1uary 1977.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF EI../GIN ROAD COMMI.TTEE:
,Report On Road Expenditures for 1977
This report is a review of the methods used by the Ministry of
Transportation and Connnunications to arrive at our Subsidy Allocations for
1977 and the method of calculating th() County Road Rate.
In 1973 the Ministry of Transportation and Communications adopted
a poLicy of a single subsidy rate (other than Drainage Asslessments and
Urban Rebates) for Counties and Regions. This single system replaced the
old system which is still used for Townships and Villages of 50% Subsidy
on Roads, 80% Subsidy on Bridges and 100% Subsidy on Development Roads
(Direct Aid).
One pf the biggest assets of the new system was that the bookkeeping
on County work was to be simplified (actually this had occurred).
The Hinistry of Transportation and Communi-cations has adopted a
policy of allocating subsidy funds based on proven needs and the setting of
a desirable spending allocation. An expenditure over the desirable expenditure
allocation will not be subsidized and any spending under the allocation will
result in loss of subsidy at the maximum subsidy rate (approxim.ately 91%).
The Ministry of Transportation and Connnunications matches the
amount of money that the County would raise at 1.25 mills on its provincial
Equalized Asse'ssment and then subsidizes the County at 91% for each dollar of
the desirable expenditure allocation in excess of the amount subsidized at
50% (matching grant). (See attached calculations.)
In 1976 the effective Subsidy Rate on operati.ons was 73.79/+%
compared to 73.02% in 1975 and 67.7% in 1974. The rate for 1977 is estimated
at 75.3%.

TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE - PAGE 3.
REPORT ON ROAD EXPENDITURES FOR 1977 January 1977
(b) Asphalt Resurfacing (continued)
(2) Mulch Roads and Hot Mix Roads should be covered in the
15 to 20 year period after construction.
(3) Hot Mix Roads of 1 1/2 to 2 inches in depth should be
covered as soon as possible to stop breakup (elephant
t r i) (' k J II g) .
Inasmuch as the Ministry of Transportation and CVUlUlunications
does not have e:nough money to complete all the resurfacing necessary they
have set an objective of 75% of this work in the five year period or a
yearly objective of 15% again on a 1973 Price Index. As the asphalt price
has increased more rapidly than anything else it is doubtful if the yearly
objective reaches 10%.
(c) Fixed Costs
Thes€~ costs include Maintenance of Roads and Bridges on the
County and St. Thomas Suburban Road Connnission Road System, Overhead Charges,
Machinery Replacement, Building Improvements, and Purchase of Gravel Pits,

and Connnunications has also set up Maintenance criteria for expenditure per

and Connnunications applied the criteria the long range effect on our Maintenance
Allocation remains to be seen.
Our 1977 Spending Allocation is as follows:

TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD CO~[ITTEE - PAGE 2.
REPORT ON ROAD EXPENDITURES FOR 1977 Jeanuary 1977
DESIRABLE SPENDING ALLOCATION
The desirable spending allocation is the total of Needs shown in
the preceeding Ylears (1976) Needs Study Update as approved by the Ministry
of Transportation and Connnunications. The total alloca,tion is divided into
three parts. (a) Construction (b) Asphalt Resurfacing (c) Fixed
Co st s.
(a) Construction
Approved Construction Costs are the costs of thosE~ Roads and Bridges
which are presently deficient or will become deficient in the coming five
year period. The deficiencies are catalogued and listed according to Ministry
of Treansportation and COulULJnications criteria. Al so includE~d in Construction
Costs are spot improvements such as Drainage Costs, etc. ne(~essary to bring
a section of ro~d up to tolerable standards.
The Costs are based on Ministry of Transportation and Connnun:lcations
approved costs which represent the costs of construction as they were :in
December of 1973.. Inasmuch as the Ministry of Transportati1on .and CV&&,munications
or the MunicipaLities do not have enough money to complete .all the construction
in a five year period a construction objective of 45% (reducing balance) of the
work to be completed in a 5 year period has been set. This equals 9% per year
of the reducing balance. Actually the accomplishment is considerably less
than 9% as infl~ltion has increased Construction Costs considerably since
January of 1973."
(b) Asphal t Re ~~urfacin8.
Asphalt Resurfacing is the approved resurfacing and minor associated
costs of roads that are already built to proper geometric sight standards and
widths. The roads "listed" are the roads that should be resurfaced in the coming
five year period.
The Progrannne provides that:
(1) Double Surface Treatment Roads should be covered with
three inches of Hot Mix in the 8 to 10 year period
after construction or earlier if severe breakup occurs.

(b) Asphalt Resurfacing (continued)
(2) Mu.l ch Roads and Hot Mix Roads shoul d be cover,ed in the
15 to 20 year period a~ter construction.
(3) Hot Mix Roads of 1 1/2 to 2 inches in depth should be
covered as soon as possible to stop breakup (,elephant
tt'acking) .
Inasmuch as the Ministry of Transportation and Com~unications
does not have enough money to complete all the resurfacing necessary they
have set an objective of 75% of this work in the five year p,eriod or a
yearly objective of 15% again on a 1973 Price Index. As the asphalt price
has increased mot'e rapidly than anything else it is doubtful if the yearly
objective reaches 10%.
(c) Fixed Costs
These costs include Maintenance of Roads and Bridges on the
County and St, Thomas Suburban Road Commission Road System, Overhead Charges,
Machinery Replace~ment, BUilding Improvements, and Purchase of Gravel Pits,
etc. A tentative~ 1977 Budget (Maintenance and Overhead Charges) was required
in 1976 as was a Machinery Replacement Schedule for five years. This was
reviewf;~d by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and after a
great deal of discussion approved in its entirety. The Ministry of Transportation
and Communications has also set up Maintenance criteria for expenditure per
mile of road. As last fa.ll was the first time the Ministry of Transportation
and Comrnun;l..ccrt;("ons appl led tho criterla the long rdnge effect on our Ma intenanc(~
Allocation remains to be seen.
Our 1977 Spending Allocation is as follows:
Construction 9% of Needs of $ 10,825,000
