The National Mural Created by
Canada’s Communities Celebrating 150 Years
CANADA MOSAIC
44
Lewis Lavoie
Key Artist/Director of Mural Mosaic
Hello,
What would a unified painting of Canada look like if it was painted by
expressions of our people? As an artist, I am fascinated at the thought of what
the final image will be when thousands of individual paintings, created by
Canadians from coast to coast, are combined into one overall piece of art.
Not long after completing the first mosaic murals eleven years ago, it became
apparent to us that these murals had the ability to involve practically anyone,
from professional artist to “first timers”, from the very young to our senior
citizens. No matter what their background everyone had one thing in common,
they were part of a bigger picture. From the smallest of us to the most
influential, we all part of a bigger story. To me, this is the sheer definition of
what a community is. It seemed that overnight, communities began asking us
to create murals.
Naturally, it came to me it would be incredible to create a mural that would
connect our whole country. For years, I have been exploring what this would
look like. Finally, the timing is perfect as Canada is about to celebrate 150 years.
I have chosen the train and railroad and feel it is the ultimate theme for
connecting the murals. Railways played an integral role in the process of tying
regions together. My vision is to do the same with these murals. All aboard!
Mural Mosaic
Mural Mosaic began in 2003 and was founded by the
trio of Lewis Lavoie, Paul Lavoie and Phil Alain. Lead
by renowned artist Lewis Lavoie, the trio is based
out of St. Albert AB and have been orchestrating
collaborative murals around North America involving
artists and non- artists alike from all over the world.
Their murals have been featured at such events as the
2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the 2012 Summer
Olympics in London, the Centennial celebration of
the Calgary Stampede, the Alberta Saskatchewan
Centennial of 2005, the Edmonton Centennial of 2005
and a Royal unveiling for Queen Elizabeth II.
The murals have included special guest team
members ranging from renowned artists to celebrity
and political guests. Some past participants and
guests include The Barenaked Ladies Kevin Hearn,
William Shatner, Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Robert
Bateman, Michelle Grant, Bill Lishman, Ian Tyson,
Former Premiers Lorne Calvert and the late Ralph
Klein and literally thousands more.

Message from Lewis Lavoie

In 2017, Canada will turn 150 years old. It is a country that
has welcomed the world through its borders.
To celebrate this birthday, the Mural Mosaic team is
launching a bold undertaking. Over a two year span, the
trio plan to create a mural including all provinces and ter-
ritories, over 80,000 paintings and 150 individual murals
that when united will form one gigantic mural mosaic.
The mural, if ever connected would be over 365 meters
wide (4 football fields) x 2.5 meters high (8 feet).
The mural will represent a cultural mosaic, a time capsule,
a visual portrayal of history, an art masterpiece from the
soul of the nation. An art piece that fifty years from now,
may inspire another generation, who will in turn be able
to celebrate through the mural, and maybe take it upon
themselves to add to this memory.
Like the first settlers to come to the country, this project
is full of ambition, adventure and the desire to trail blaze
into new exciting frontiers. It will also face great challeng-
es and obstacles. But, if history proves itself correctly, the
trio of art explorers – Lewis Lavoie, Paul Lavoie and Phil
Alain will find their way and en route will meet up with
like-minded art explorers and something remarkable will
be born.
150 Murals in 150 Communities completed by July, 2017.
Each province and territory will have only 5-15 individual
communities who will be selected to represent the
province and the nation. Each community will host an
event inviting participants from far and wide from their
region to participate and create their own community
mural, which will then connect to the nation.
Upon the completion of the entire Canada 150 Mosaic,
each community mural will reside in the town or
city where it was created as a reminder of the 150th
anniversary, and the pride of the community and the
nation

Community Mural Events
Each community mural created will have
between 400-750 tiles to paint. The Canada 150
Mosaic team of artists and facilitators will come
to your community and work with you to create
an ultimate two-day painting event like no other.
Any skill level is welcome, all ages are welcome,
you do not have to be an artist! Every tile painted
will be 4 inches x 4 inches in size, creating a
unified community mural.
Once your community mural is complete it will
be virtually connected to other communities
creating one massive overall National mural
connecting the country coast to coast. Your
mural contribution to the Canada 150 Mosaic will
be permanently displayed in your community
creating a lasting legacy landmark of Canada’s
150th celebration.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 2015 Q2 RCP Department variance summary is as follows:
Cemetery labour is over budget with an off-set savings in the Parks division.
Cemetery expenditures may be over budget resulting from winter damage to the
building and further costs are anticipated in this area. The projection for year-end
is that the deficit at the cemetery may be $57,000.
The Culture & Heritage Division (Museum) spring event did not sell out as in
previous years, and building maintenance expenses are over due to snow removal costs and repairs to HVAC units. Year-end projections are that the deficit may
increase to $15,000.
The Parks, Facilities & Programs divisions are experiencing a variety of pressures.
Parks labour costs will be significantly under budget to off-set staff time spent in the Cemetery. Full time Program labour is over budget. Winter maintenance
equipment rental is over budget. The deficit in this area may be $19,000.
The projected deficit for the Department at year-end is $91,000. Staff is currently
working on a mitigation plan and will advise Council.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Fire & Rescue Service is currently $87,013 under budget, mostly due to Fire Suppression Fire Communication labour being $37,000 under. The Fire Communicators contract
negotiations have concluded and the anticipated financial impact is estimated to be
$20,400 ($10,700 negotiated impact and $9700 pay equity). The Firefighters contract is in the process of being negotiated and the Q2 wage file was budgeted with the base
assumption that an economic increase will be required once the contract is finalized. Net
revenue is $15,700 over budget. With the Fire Prevention Officer position not filled, the
financial forecast for Fire & Rescue Services through to December 31, 2015 is to be
$57,000 under budget. 2015 Q2 Financial Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To provide a Building, Planning and By-Law activity report for the Second Quarter of
2015.
BACKGROUND
This report covers the period from January 1, 2015 to June 31, 2015.
A slight decrease in activity in terms of value of construction was recorded compared to
2014 due to a large drop in the institutional sector as expected. The overall number of
permits issued has also decreased. The residential housing construction market remained
stable with a slight decrease in the construction of single detached units and a notable
increase in apartment units. Industrial and commercial sectors both experienced a
decrease in value of construction. These activities are noted in the tables below.

BUILDING FINANCIAL IMPACT
Financial records indicate that the Building sector has a surplus of $18,365 at the end of
Q2; however, the decrease in value of construction is a direct result of the decreased
revenue found in the financial records. The forecast at this time for year end is to be on
budget.

Key indicators measure growth in terms of infrastructure i.e. Roads, Sewers, Watermain,
Sidewalk, Boulevards, etc. and the associated level of maintenance service. No additional
resources have been allocated to meet the increased growth. The ability for the Town to mitigate the associated incremental costs to maintain additional infrastructure without additional resources
is approaching its limits.

Report Title: Draft Oxford Community Sustainability Plan
Report No.: CAO 15-12
Author: David Calder
Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING
Council Date: AUGUST 1O, 2015
Attachments: OXFORD COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receives Report CAO 15-12 – Oxford Community Sustainability Plan for
information;
And that Report CAO 15-12 – Oxford Community Sustainability Plan be provided to Oxford
County Council for their information and consideration.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At its meeting of July 13, 2015, Council received a presentation from staff of Oxford County
and a member of the Oxford Community Sustainability Plan Steering Committee regarding
the draft Oxford Community Sustainability Plan (CSP). Members of Council will recall that
this draft Plan is an initiative of Oxford County and has been advanced by the Community Sustainability Plan Steering Committee and County Council. The plan is being circulated to
the Area Municipalities for their review and comment by August 14, 2015 with the
expectation that County Council will adopt the plan in September followed by Area Municipal
adoption following County Council adoption.
Council approved the following motion:
Moved By: Councillor Hayes
Seconded By: Councillor Rosehart
THAT Council receive the Draft Community Sustainability Plan presentation as
information;
AND THAT Staff prepare a follow-up report for the August 10, 2015 Council meeting.
77
Staff has now had an opportunity to review the material presented to Council at their
meeting of July 13, 2015 and reviewed the Oxford County staff report titled “Oxford
Community Sustainability Plan” which is attached for Council’s review. Staff to date has
not had an opportunity to discuss with Oxford County staff or the Community Sustainability Plan Steering Committee the impact of implementation on the Town of Tillsonburg.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
As noted in the County report, the CSP “was developed from a broad consultation and engagement process led by the Steering Committee comprised of active and informed
citizens representing a cross-section of the community from both a geographic perspective
as well as with respect to the “pillars” of sustainability (i.e. community, economy, environment).” In addition, public engagement included workshops in the Town of
Tillsonburg and with municipal partners in order to identify current sustainable initiatives in
the community as well as their vision of Oxford’s future. A few Town of Tillsonburg staff
members participated in the workshop. Part of the consultation/communication process was
the circulation of the plan to the area municipalities and the presentation to Tillsonburg Town Council on July 13, 2015.
The Town of Tillsonburg Senior Leadership Team (SLT) has not as of yet had an opportunity
to review or discuss the Draft Community Sustainability Plan. The plan will be a topic of discussion at the SLT meeting scheduled for August 12, 2015.
BACKGROUND
As Council knows, in reviewing the draft CSP there are 70 action items that have been
identified through the engagement process. The action items are outlined in the attached Oxford County report. The intent is that the action items will evolve over time. A number of
the action items are items that the Town of Tillsonburg Council and/or administrative staff
are already addressing. For example, Action 4 - provide frequent, cost-efficient transportation options that connect all of Oxford and larger hubs outside of Oxford. The
Town is participating in the Community Transportation Pilot Project which may address
some components of this action item. Staff needs to review the action items to see what
involvement the Town might currently have and/or potential involvement. Also, in terms of
implementation of the plan and the associated action items, attachment 3 to the Oxford
County report identifies an implementation and reporting strategy.
In terms of funding the CSP, the creation of the Future Oxford Partnership Board appears to
be a catalyst for funding through community investment funding and in-kind service contributions. Again, staff is not certain what if any financial impact or expectations there
will be on the Town of Tillsonburg. Again, staff will need to review the action items to
determine what level of support the Town might already be providing as well as looking at the action items that may impact the Town of Tillsonburg as the CSP evolves over time.
In conclusion, staff is supportive of the work that has taken place to date on the Draft
Community Sustainability Plan but is somewhat concerned about the large number action
items and lack of clarity on the funding of the implementation of the plan. Staff is of the
opinion that these issues can be clarified when County Council discusses the adoption of the plan in September and the CSP comes back to the Area Municipalities in the fall.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
As noted, staff is not aware of any immediate financial impact on the Town of Tillsonburg in
2015 but this aspect of the draft CSP needs to be clarified for future years. In addition, the financing of the proposed Future Oxford Staff Resources as noted in the Oxford County staff
report requires further analysis as the draft CSP is finalized.

implications
o Responsible environmental leadership and stewardship
o Supporting the community implementation of the Community Sustainability Plan
DISCUSSION
Background
Council initiated the development of a County-wide Community Strategic Plan in March 2014. To advance Council’s vision of creating a community driven process, Council appointed an Adhoc Committee of Council to select a Steering Committee of active and informed citizens with interests in community, economy and the environment. A consulting team with expertise in both community sustainability and community engagement was retained in August 2014 and the Steering Committee commenced a broadly based program designed to obtain the views and input of community groups and service providers representing interests in conservation, housing, education, cultural heritage and the economy, together with those of the broader public. The term ‘Future Oxford’ was coined by the Steering Committee to reflect the commitment to developing a long-term vision for sustainability across the entire Oxford community. Public engagement included a variety of workshops in the community and with the County’s municipal partners in which participants were asked to identify current sustainable initiatives in the community as well as their vision for Oxford’s future.

Report No: CAO 2015-05 CAO/CLERK
Council Date: June 24, 2015 Further, social media events and activities such as the Vision 2030 contest, Ideascale and the Wiki-Draft Plan and Kitchen Table Draft Plan exercise were utilized to obtain the views of the community regarding the role of sustainable principles in Oxford’s future going forward. Using all of the input obtained through the above-noted public and community engagement initiatives, the Steering Committee has developed a draft CSP comprising 6 Goals, 15 Objectives and 70 Actions intended to provide a ‘sustainability’ framework that will provide guidance to the community with respect to assessing emerging issues and future opportunities. Comments
FutureOxford – A Community Sustainability Plan The Community Sustainability Plan (CSP) was developed with a view to the importance of meeting the community’s needs today without compromising the future and embraces the importance of managing human, natural and financial resources through integrated solutions rather than through fragmented approaches that meet one goal or objective at the expense of others. As noted above, the draft CSP has been developed from a broad consultation and engagement process led by a Steering Committee comprising of active and informed citizens representing a cross-section of the community from both a geographic perspective as well as with respect to the ‘pillars’ of sustainability (i.e. community, economy, environment). The CSP is premised on a vision that encompasses vibrancy, prosperity and responsibility with a simple mission to ‘achieve community sustainability throughout Oxford’. The plan’s goals and objectives reflect the community’s perspectives regarding accessibility, education and creativity as well as growing a sustainable economy and creating an Oxford that is a leader in environmental action. While the CSP is specific, particularly with respect to the 70 actions that have been identified through the broad engagement process, the document is not intended to be prescriptive. Further, it is the expectation of the Steering Committee that the CSP will be a ‘living document’ that is intended to evolve over time through both use in the community and periodic review. When reviewing the draft CSP, Council will note that each objective identified in the plan includes one or more associated targets that are intended to be an appropriate measure of the success of the said objective. While each target had originally included specific numbers intended to quantify the target going forward, it was determined through the public and stakeholder engagement process that it may be premature to establish firm targets in the plan initially and that the development of targets that are meaningful to the Oxford community could be developed as a ‘first step’ in the implementation phase of the CSP. As such, while maintaining ‘generic’ targets, (i.e. ‘reducing core housing need in Oxford’) over short and longer terms is recognized as an appropriate target for the related objective, a more thorough review of the objectives and actions is considered necessary in order to establish more specific targets. The full text of the draft CSP is attached here. Further, a report prepared by the consulting team retained to assist with the development of the plan (IndEco Strategic Consulting and Sustainable Solutions Group) is also linked for Council’s consideration. The latter report is a companion to the CSP document and provides a more detailed overview of the process that was undertaken regarding the development of the CSP.

Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA) Tool
The Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA) Tool (see attached) has been developed in conjunction
with the Community Sustainability Plan (CSP) with a view to creating a methodology to assess
alternative actions through a ‘sustainability’ lens. The tool incorporates a weighted, multiple criteria approach which is intended to assess potential actions on a ‘triple bottom line’ basis (i.e.
community, economy, environment). The weighting of the criteria provides balance across the broader sustainability framework and
also factors in both costs and time related to the implementation of the action. It is intended that the use of the MCA tool will produce a ‘score’ that can be used to establish
the relative sustainability of an action against other potential actions. It is further intended that the tool will assist in defining sustainability thresholds (i.e. the ‘tipping point’ at which an action or actions can no longer be considered sustainable and/or at which may cause serious negative
and possibly irreversible consequences) which can be used, in turn, to inform decisions on a broad basis. In this regard, it is anticipated that various ‘thresholds’ will be developed over time
through practical experience with the MCA tool.
The MCA tool provides a methodology that can be used to inform decisions with respect to the
sustainability of an action or group of actions and is not intended to be the sole ‘decision-
making’ tool when assessing issues and opportunities facing the community. MCA will provide an evaluation of the sustainability of an action (in accordance with the criteria developed
through the CSP) and the said evaluation would typically represent one means of informing a decision.
As with the CSP, it is expected that the MCA tool will evolve over time through use and review. Implementation and Reporting The importance of developing an effective strategy for the implementation of the Community Sustainability Plan was identified by the Steering Committee at the outset of the process. Further, it was clearly articulated through the public and stakeholder consultation that there was real concern that the CSP would lose momentum if a clear strategy for moving the plan forward was not identified at the time of adoption. In response, the Steering Committee has discussed a general framework for the implementation of the CSP, together with a reporting structure that can be developed in a manner in-keeping with the overall ‘community-driven’ nature of the CSP. The principles of the strategy, in addition to being community oriented, would include the development of public, private and community partnerships that would be largely volunteer driven and funded in a manner that is sustainable going forward, including community investment funding and in-kind services/support. While the specifics as to how implementation and reporting with regard to the CSP would be developed together with use and review of the CSP and the MCA tool, it is recommended that the strategy, much like the development of the CSP itself, take advantage of the energy and enthusiasm of the community with respect to championing sustainability as well as governance and funding opportunities. Please refer to the attached Implementation and Reporting Strategy document.

Conclusions
The development of a community-driven sustainability plan is supported by all of the strategic directions contained in the County Strategic Plan, and in particular, the County’s commitment to thinking ahead and wisely shaping the future by applying social, financial and environmental
sustainability lenses to significant decisions. The plan has been developed through engagement with a broad cross-section of the community and addresses a variety of issues
relating to quality of life, healthy environments, effective governance and economic security.
The CSP, together with the multi-criteria assessment tool and a community-oriented implementation and reporting strategy, will be an effective tool for the County when considering
emerging issues and opportunities going forward.

A Community
Sustainability Plan
DRAFT June 24, 2015
Executive Summary
The Community Sustainability Plan aims to improve quality of life for Oxford’s current and future generations and to
balance Oxford’s collective economic, community, and environmental interests.
Background
Located in the heart of southwestern Ontario, Oxford has a population of approximately 109,000 residents. Oxford is “growing
stronger together” through demonstrated partnerships with residents, businesses, the County of Oxford, and the eight area
municipalities: Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock, Ingersoll, Norwich, South-West Oxford, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, and Zorra.
One of Ontario’s foremost farming communities, Oxford’s location at the crossroads of Highways 401 and 403 has contributed to the
development of a significant commercial and industrial sector. Oxford is home to a thriving local arts, culture, and culinary
community, and boasts conservation parks, natural areas, and more than 100 kilometres of scenic trails.
What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is an approach to meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own. It takes into account the short and long-term ecological, social, and economic consequences of our actions and emphasizes
both environmental and human well-being as essential ends in themselves.
Oxford has adopted the lens of sustainability to create an integrated and effective approach to addressing challenges, including
economic and social inequities, human health, ecosystem decline, and community development.

This framework provides a guide through which Oxford
can work together to build a sustainable, resilient, and
vital future. The goal of Future Oxford is to articulate
how we balance these interests in a model that informs
decisions about our future.

Words from the Steering Committee
Community sustainability represents a vision of how Oxford can work together to build a sustainable, vital and more resilient future.
Giving shape to that vision, and informing the plan and tools that will make it happen, has been a key component to the Future
Oxford initiative.
The Community Sustainability Plan Committee has guided the development and implementation of Future Oxford. The
Steering Committee was selected to represent the community on the basis of both geography and areas of focus for
sustainability (economic, community, and environment). It includes the following members:
Chris Friesen (Chair) George Klosler Jay Heaman David Gilvesy
Jeff Surridge Marilyn Price Jason Smith Cher Sprague
Dave Steenburg Bryan Smith Ian Heikoop Joan Morris
Ian Stevens Nicole Langlois Jurgen van Dijken
In working towards a collective vision for a sustainable future, the Community Sustainability Steering Committee needed to consider
the viewpoints of community members throughout the County. Our goal has been to connect and engage as much of Oxford as
possible to inform and inspire the vision, goals, actions, and targets of Oxford’s Community Sustainability Plan.
Over the last few months, Oxford residents have come together to listen, brainstorm, and ultimately dream, about what our
community can look like in 2020 and 2030 through a series of innovative community engagement initiatives. The Community
Sustainability Plan is a reflection of that community spirit and thought.
The Steering Committee has integrated all the ideas that have emerged from our community into the goals, targets, actions, and
objectives of this plan, reflecting the diverse needs and aspirations of Oxford. The elements of this Community Sustainability Plan will
assist Oxford to become a leading resilient, sustainable, and thriving County.

Steps towards implementation
The goal of the Future Oxford community engagement process was to connect and engage as much of Oxford as possible to inform
and inspire the vision, goals, actions, and targets of Oxford’s Sustainability Plan. Individuals throughout Oxford also took part in
workshops, participated on-line and hosted their own round tables to comment, edit, and inform the Community Sustainability Plan.
The Community Sustainability Plan Steering Committee considered all community input in developing this “draft final” version of
Oxford’s first-ever Community Sustainability Plan (CSP). A Multi-Criteria Assessment Tool has been included in the CSP as a
means to inform major decision making and priority setting along with an Implementation and Reporting Strategy designed to foster
community action and progress reporting throughout the delivery of the Community Sustainability Plan.
County Council and all eight Area Municipal Councils are now being presented the “draft final” Community Sustainability Plan, Multi-
Criteria Assessment Tool and the recommended Implementation and Reporting Strategy for final comment. Following the final
consultation process, the Steering Committee will ask Oxford County Council and all eight Area Municipal Councils to formally adopt
the Community Sustainability Plan, Multi-Criteria Assessment Tool, and the Implementation and Reporting Strategy.

Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA) Tool
Purpose
a methodology to assess the sustainability of alternative options or actions in
consideration of the of the goals and objectives of the Future Oxford Plan.
MCA Approach
Each action is relatively assessed against others with respect to the degree of a
positive impact to the criteria (0WORST through 5BEST )
Criterion Assessment x Weighting = CRITERIA SCORE
∑CRITERIA SCORES = TOTAL SCORE
Highest total score = MOST SUSTAINABLE ACTION (Max. = 400)
Practical use of the MCA during initial implementation of the Future Oxford Plan will
inform the determination of appropriate thresholds to determine sustainability.
Assessment Criteria
Criteria developed using goals and objectives within the Future Oxford Plan along with implementation costs and time;
Criteria are weighted to ensure a balanced assessment
The criteria and weighting are illustrated in the table below
An example assessment is also provided to illustrate use of the MCA.

Title: TILLSONBURG FAIR, ANNUAL MUNICIPAL SIGNIFICANT EVENT
Report No.: CL 15-19
Author: DONNA WILSON
Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING
Council/Committee
Date:
AUGUST 10, 2015
Attachments: Tillsonburg Fair Special Occasion Permit Request
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the yearly Tillsonburg Fair event be designated an “Annual Municipal Significant Event” for the
purposes of raising the profile of the event and obtaining Special Occasion Permits under the Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order for the organizers or vendors of the annual event to apply for special occasion permits (SOP)
from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), the event must be designated as a
“Municipal Significant Event”.
A “Public Event” SOP may be issued to registered charity organizations, not for profit organizations for
the advancement of educational, religious or community objectives or for events that are of municipal,
provincial, national or international significance. These types of events require no municipal
designation.
The Tillsonburg Fair vendors applying for special occasion permits do not fall under this category as
they are not a charity organization or a not for profit organization.
A “Public Event” SOP may be issued to the vendors taking part in the Tillsonburg Fair if the event is
designated as a ‘municipal significant event’ by the municipality. This is done by Council resolution,
however the Registrar of Alcohol and gaming (AGCO) makes the final decision as to whether a permit
shall be issued. Each year vendors applying for SOP’s will be able to make their applications to the
AGCO without going back to Council for the designation. The vendor’s requiring the SOP will contact
the Clerk’s Office to obtain a letter with the Council resolution for the annual designation. As this event
is an annual event that has been taking place for a number of years, staff is recommending that the
annual designation, the same designation that was given for Turtlefest, be given to the Tillsonburg Fair.
1
CAO
102
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
Staff has contacted the AGCO to determine if the Municipality can designate the annual event as a
“Municipal Significant” annual event within the municipality. The response was that the municipality
would be required to provide a copy of the resolution to all future applicants for permits in the years to
come to assist the applicant in providing the necessary support documentation with each
application. This would alleviate any lag time in waiting for a council meeting and obtaining the
designation for an annual event.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN
Section 4 – Culture and Community
4.1 Promote Tillsonburg as a unique and welcoming Community by enhancing local festivals to attract a
greater number of tourists.
By designating the Tillsonburg Fair event as an annual “Municipal Significant event”, the event
organizers will be able to plan, organize and obtain grants and permits with no time restraints from the
municipality as they will have the designation from this day forward for as long as the event takes place.
It will provide the ability for the event to take place and grow to allow for greater numbers of tourists
visiting Tillsonburg which is a key performance indicator for this strategy and to eventually establish
itself as a local tourist destination.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
No financial impact to the municipality.

Title: Sign Variance – 1 Vance Drive – Animated Sign
Report No.: DCS 15-32
Author: GENO VANHAELEWYN – Chief Building Official
Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING
Council Date: AUGUST 10, 2015
Attachments: SITE PLAN & ELEVATION
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receives report DCS 15-32 Sign Variance – 1 Vance Drive – Animated Sign;
AND THAT Council approve a variance to Sign By-Law 3798 to allow for the construction
of a 5’ X 8’ digital animated L.E.D sign at 1 Vance Drive.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Building Services received a request from BR’s Plumbing and Heating for the construction
of an animated sign to be located on the south wall of the existing building. A review of
the request revealed that the proposed sign would not comply with Sign By-Law 3798 and
therefore could not be processed/issued. This information was provided to the applicant
and subsequently the applicant requested that the sign be considered for a variance to the
Sign By-Law.
An Animated Sign as per the definition in Sign By-Law 3798 means:
“a sign which contains a video screen or any kinetic or illusionary motion of all or
part of a sign, including rotations, or any sign which is manually displayed by an
individual for the purposes of advertising, or any sign which is projected on a
display surface by electronic means, but does not include an electronic message
board sign or a spinning portable sign.”
The proposed application is for permission to replace a 6’ X 8’ wall sign and display a 5’ X
8’ digital animated L.E.D sign for advertising. The sign will be able to produce multiple
images, advertising and communication related to the business.
110
2
CAO
Secondly, the applicant is also requesting that a variance be considered for the proposed
sign to function as a billboard sign to sell advertising to promote other local businesses
not located at this property.
Sign By-Law 3798 notes the following related to this request and the application requires
relief from:
Section 5.1- Specific Sign Prohibitions
f) flashing or animated signs;
a) A sign located on premises which does not specifically identify or advertise a
business, service, or occupant of the premises where it is located, unless otherwise
specified in this By-law
In this case:
- the proposed sign is an animated sign.
- the applicant is requesting that the proposed sign not only advertise the business
on site but other businesses not located at this property.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
A public notice was circulated to neighbouring properties within the location and no
comments or concerns were received in favour or against the application.
Engineering Department and OPP commented with no concerns related to this application.
Building/By-Law Services comment that Sign By-Law 3798 was recently reviewed and
passed by Council in 2014 and that the intent to prohibit animated signs was to allow for
review and approval on an individual basis. Animated signs are prohibited due to the
nature of these signs being a distraction to drivers and neighbouring properties typically
related to the method of illumination as this can create a hazard or nuisance. In this case
the signage is located approximately 90 metres from the travelled portion of Broadway
and the direction of the signage is angled away from the neighbouring residential units.
However, staff noted that there is a potential for issues related to the illumination of the
sign creating a nuisance for the residential units. In review of this concern the applicant
informed staff that the lighting levels of the proposed sign can be controlled and Section
6.4 of the Sign By-Law notes that signs shall not be illuminated so that light from such a
way that the sign or method of illumination does not create a hazard or nuisance. This
provision of the Sign By-Law is applicable and can be enforced if necessary.
By-Law Services also noted that third party advertising is prohibited as the intent of the
Sign By-Law is to strictly prohibit advertising not located at the property. Variance
approval to permit advertising of businesses or services not located on this property will
set a precedent in the Town and is therefore not recommended.
111
3
CAO
Based on the information provided, staff makes note that this variance is major in nature
and affects the intent of Sign By-Law 3798. Based on a site specific evaluation completed
by staff; staff recommends that the sign variance requested by BR’s Plumbing & Heating
to install a 5’ X 8’ digital animated L.E.D sign be approved and the request to advertise
businesses or services not located at this property be denied.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
No financial impact.

REPORT TITLE: AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE
Report No.: DCS 15-31
Author: ANNETTE MURRAY
Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING
Council Date: AUGUST 10,2015
Attachments:
RECOMMENDATION:
“THAT Council receive Report DCS 15-31 Airport Master Plan Update;
AND THAT the conceptual drawings be approved in principal as the basis for the Master Plan Update public consultation process with the final Master Plan Update
being brought forward for consideration by Council by early 2016.”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to move forward with an update of
the Airport Master Plan with the attached drawings providing the basis of the Master Plan
Update process. Since the last Master Plan Update was completed in 1989, a number of
investments have been made in the Airport and these improvements, along with changing needs of investors and airport users, require a review and update of the Master Plan.
Updated development maps were completed in 2013 and these maps are proposed to form
the basis of the updated Master Plan.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Tillsonburg Regional Airport was originally built by The Royal Canadian Air Force as an
emergency grass airfield to support flying training during the Second World War. Three
grass runways, each 2,600 feet in length, were defined in the typical military triangular
configuration of the time. The Town of Tillsonburg leased the airport from the Federal
Government in the late 1950's. As part of the conditions of lease prior to ownership, the
Town contributed funding towards airport improvements. In 1971, the Town reconstructed and paved the primary runway (08-26) and constructed an exit taxiway and an apron on
116
the south side of the runway. Also added in the 1970's were the terminal building, aircraft
hangars and fuel facilities. Two additional hangars were added in 1981 and one in 1982.
The Town took over ownership and administration of the airport in 1981.
From this date through to the early 1990s, a significant number of improvements were
made to the Airport along with the original Master Plan (1983) and the Master Plan Update
(1989). From the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, growth and investment, including from
the private sector, slowed. However, starting in the early 2000s, there has been an increase in private sector investment interest at the Airport and this has resulted in an
increase in the growth of the airport as evidenced by a more than doubling of the total
hangar area at the airport.
The continuing growth of the airport is positive and contributes to increased financial self-
sufficiency of the airport. However, maintaining and growing an airport also requires
investment in infrastructure and this can be a challenge within current municipal funding
constraints. Hence, any investment that is being considered should include rationale as to
why a particular investment is the best value for the Town. An updated Master Plan will assist the Town in determining the key investments that have to be made to support
growth at a minimal cost to taxpayers.
In theory, an airport Master Plan should be designed to be the most effective framework within which the facility can operate at the highest possible level of efficiency. Care must
be taken to ensure that compromises do not adversely affect safety (or future development
opportunities) at the airport. A Master Plan is a guideline as to the types of improvements
that should be made at the airport and where development, both private and public, should
be placed.
An airport Master Plan is a guide for:
Development of physical facilities on the airport
Development of land uses for areas surrounding the airport
Determination of environmental effects of aerodrome construction and operation
Establishment of airport access requirements
An airport Master Plan is used to:
Provide short and long range policy/decision guidance
Identify potential problems as well as opportunities
Assist in securing financial aid
Serve as a basis for negotiations between the airport management and
tenants/businesses at the airport
Generate local interest and support
The original Master Plan for the Tillsonburg Municipal Airport was prepared in 1983 by Marshall, Macklin, Monaghan Limited and updated by the same company in 1989. This is
the Master Plan that airport staff has been using over the past decades. In 2010, the Town
retained Explorer Solutions to provide a Feasibility Study to explore the strategic direction
of the airport including opportunities for an aviation related industrial park, an airpark as
well as the potential for commercial and cargo operations. The Airport Business Park and
Page 2 / 11 CAO
117
Airpark Market Analysis and Feasibility Study was approved in principal by Council at their
October 12, 2010 meeting.
Figure 1 is taken from the original Master Plan (1983) and provides an overview of the airport including a proposed extension of the runway, the addition of a parallel taxiway, and
the paving of a cross wind taxiway. The map shows the General Aviation hangar
development area as west of the Airport Terminal and the Commercial Aviation hangar development area to the east of the Airport Terminal. The major difference between this
plan and the current development plan is that the General Aviation hangar development
area is proposed to be parallel to the main runway instead of running north/south as has
taken place at the airport.
Some of the main reasons why a Master Plan Update is required is that (1) the maps need
to be updated to reflect development that has taken place at the airport since the 1989
Master Plan Update, (2) the original and updated Master Plan have some gaps in terms of the information provided (e.g. taxiway access to the General Aviation area), and (3) the
Master Plan should reflect current budget realities.

Figure 3 is a zoomed in map showing the terminal area including the General Aviation area
on the west side and the commercial hangar area on the east side. At the time the Master Plan was created, the only existing hangars were the Flying Club hangar (red arrow) and
one small hangar to the west (black arrow).
To the east, the map shows the commercial area with existing hangars for CHAA (see
arrows) as well as one additional hangar. Development in the commercial hangar area has been generally in accordance with the original Master Plan.
Page 4 / 11 CAO

Figure 3 – Airport Terminal and Development Areas
Figure 4 outlines the updated development plan for the General Aviation area to the west of
the terminal. The plan shows existing General Aviation hangars and taxiways as well as
proposed fencing, proposed internal lot boundaries, and current storm sewers and catch basins. It also shows existing, proposed and optional asphalt for roadways, taxiways and
apron expansion.
Other proposed areas for development include a large tie down area, large vehicle parking,
access roads and a stand-alone building for a flight school. All proposed taxiways have
been designed to Transport Canada standards. Access roads are required to minimize traffic on taxiways and the apron while safely allowing tenants to access their hangars.
This can be accomplished by roadways and gates. This will also stop prohibited persons
from accessing airside structures and taxiways.

Figure 4 – Updated General Aviation Area (West)

121
Figure 5 – Updated Commercial Aviation Area (East)
Figure 5 outlines the updated development plan for the Commercial Aviation development
area east of the terminal building. It shows proposed, existing and optional hangars and
pavement. Currently there are two Harvard hangars, two commercial businesses and two
large private hangars.
Figure 6 shows the area around the Terminal building and parking area as well as the entrance to the airport and part of the apron area. Again, this map shows existing,
proposed and optional asphalt for the vehicle parking, access roads and apron expansion. A
large portion of this area is in the operational zone boundary and therefore limited to restrictions set out by Transport Canada. Some of the existing taxiways and hangars to the
west of the terminal building are not in conformity with the 1989 Master Plan drawings. The map also shows the potential for a 50,000 square foot building near the entrance to the
airport. This could be a location for a museum as it would have its own parking area
adjacent to the building while still having access to the runway through a taxiway to be built in the future.

Figure 7 is the consolidated development plan for the airport and shows an overview of the
entire airport property. The map incorporates existing infrastructure with proposed
infrastructure. The red line outlines the “operational zone boundary” as mandated by
Transport Canada. This area limits infrastructure and has to be maintained as “airport” as per Transport Canada regulations.
This plan is consistent with the general principles outlined in the 1983 and 1989 Master Plan documents in that the General Aviation area is maintained to the west of the terminal and
the Commercial Aviation area is to the east of the terminal. The major changes from earlier
plans include the expanded General Aviation area south (closer to Airport Rd) of the
General Aviation area proposed in the original Master Plan and the change in the location of
the future east/west internal road to provide access to General Aviation area. The plan also
shows a potential Airpark (home & hangar) in yellow although staff note this is very
preliminary at this time. The light blue “museum” zone reflects the Canadian Harvard
Aircraft Association as well as a potential future museum site. Figure 7 – Overall Airport Plan

In addition to the private hangar growth that has occurred at the Tillsonburg Regional Airport, a number of existing and new businesses are also present and these businesses are
supporting the sustainability of the airport through increased activity, fuel sales, and by
improving the attractiveness of the airport for new users and tenants. Total private sector

CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
As per the Town of Tillsonburg Public Engagement Guidelines, staff recommends that the
Town utilize Strategy 3 – Involve, Consult and Collaborate for the Airport Master Plan
Update consultation process. The objectives of Strategy 3 include:
To obtain public feedback on analysis, alternatives and/or decisions. To work directly
with the public throughout the process to ensure that public concerns and aspirations
are consistently understood and considered. To partner with the public in each aspect of the decision including the development of alternatives and the identification of the
preferred solution. Seeks to consult, involve or collaborate with the community and
key stakeholders.
As part of the Public Engagement Process, staff would involve airport stakeholders
extensively including the Airport Advisory Committee, COPA Flight 181, airport businesses,
tenants and pilots. Once the public has been provided with an opportunity for input, the
text of the Master Plan will be finalized and the complete Master Plan Update will be brought
forward to Council for approval.
Page 10 / 11 CAO
125
The Airport Advisory Committee reviewed the Master Plan Update information and process
at their July 21, 2015 meeting and passed the following resolution:
“That the Airport Advisory Committee support in principle the Master Plan Update
Process referenced in this report and that the conceptual drawings attached be used as the basis for the Master Plan Update Public Consultation Process”.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Costs for the Airport Master Plan Update are included in the approved 2015 Airport
Budget and staff are not anticipating any additional budget impact at this time. The
approved 2015 Airport Capital budget contained funding for a number of
infrastructure investments funded by the sale of assets at the airport. Staff have
not moved forward with the sale of any assets at this time.

RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receives Report DCS 15-36 Update on 253 Broadway Property for
information purposes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide an update to Council on the status of the Agreement
of Purchase and Sale between the Town of Tillsonburg and Rego Management/228495
Ontario Inc. The Buyer has requested additional time to obtain the necessary planning approvals for the project and this requires an extension in the conditional period.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Buyer has been working on finalizing the site plan for the development in order to
make the application for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment. A final
draft of the site plan has now been received by the Town of Tillsonburg and the required
applications are expected shortly. However, due to the time period required for the above
planning processes, it is anticipated that the conditional period will have to be extended to the end of October in order to accommodate these processes.
Due to the development constraints associated with the 253 Broadway property, it has taken longer than expected to finalize the site plan and submit the planning applications
required to support the proposed development. The Buyer has been proceeding in good
faith but requires an extension in the conditional period in order to move forward with the
planning approvals processes.

metres long connecting Sanders Street to a parking area for the Tillsonburg Recreation Centre. The parking area is also accessible from Hardy Avenue to the north. The street
is adjacent to a side yard for 18 and 22 Sanders Street; rear yard for 398 and 400
Broadway Street; and rear yard for 24, 26 and 28 Hardy Avenue, as shown in Figure 1.
It is primarily used as a vehicular access to and from the parking area, for pedestrian travel through the area, and for adjoining residents to access a portion of their
properties. Many of the abutting property owners use the Welding Street Right-of-Way
as a secondary vehicular access to the rear and side yards of their properties. The
Town currently provides winter maintenance on this street from Sanders Street to the
parking area.
The street consists of a 4.0 m wide asphalt surface with grassed shoulders, and
contains overhead hydro and street lighting infrastructure with telecommunication
infrastructure attached to the poles. The street does not contain any underground
infrastructure, such as storm sewer, sanitary sewer or watermain.

The residents at 18 Sanders Street have expressed concerns with the volume and
speed of vehicular traffic using the street to enter and exit the parking area. With two-
way vehicle use and pedestrian travel through the Right-of-Way on the asphalt surface,
vehicle and pedestrian conflicts are noted to be common by the residents. This concerns them from a pedestrian safety and property damage perspective. The residents have also reported verbal altercations with vehicular users of the Right-of-
Way.
The available options that the Town may consider are summarized below. It should be noted that Welding Street has been identified in the Conceptual Master Plan for Memorial Park and Lake Lisgar to be closed to vehicular traffic and used as a
pedestrian link (Option 3).
Option 1 Retain ownership of the street and maintain full access without restriction (Fully Open Road Allowance).
This option would not change the current condition or operation of the street.
Option 2 Retain ownership of the street and provide traffic calming or restrictions (Fully Open Road Allowance).
This option would maintain vehicular and pedestrian through travel. Physical
restrictions, such as speed bumps, may calm traffic on the street. Regulatory
restrictions, such as posting a reduced speed limit or limiting the Right-of-Way to one-way traffic, may limit or reduce traffic patterns on the street. These methods may also reduce the vehicle/pedestrian conflicts on the
roadway through increased decision time for drivers and pedestrians.
Regulatory restrictions would only be as effective as enforced by the Police Services. Additionally, regulatory and physical restrictions outlined above would impact winter maintenance operations by limiting the overall
effectiveness and efficiency of snow clearing efforts in this area.
Option 3 Retain ownership of the street, close it to vehicular through-traffic and designate it primarily for pedestrian through travel (Restricted Access within the Road Allowance)
The Municipal Act allows a municipality to pass by-laws removing or
restricting the common law right of passage by the public over a highway and the common law right of access to the highway by an owner of land abutting a highway. Based on this provision in the Act, the Town could pass
a By-law to maintain public access for pedestrian through travel and restrict
vehicular through-travel within the Right-of-Way. Physical restrictions would
be necessary at one end of the street to prohibit vehicular through travel, which would likely be in the form of a permanent road block (i.e. barrier
Page 2 / 5
131
posts, guiderail, or bollards). This would disconnect direct vehicular traffic between Sanders Street and the parking area. All adjoining properties would
continue to have vehicular access to their properties from Welding Street in
addition to their current primary vehicular access from the frontage of their
properties from Sanders Street, Broadway Street and Hardy Avenue. It should also be noted that this option also presents a lower Level of Service
along Welding Street with respect to winter maintenance that would be
similar to other dead end streets within the Town.
Option 4 Declare the land surplus and sell portions of the street to adjoining landholders (Fully Closed Road Allowance with Transfer of Ownership)
To divest lands such as Welding Street the Town would need to consider the
following:
• Pass a By-law to permanently close the section of roadway
• Declare the lands surplus as to the needs of the Town
• Sell the land in accordance with the policy outlined in By-law 3549
The Town should also circulate the proposal to permanently close/divest a
right-of-way to utility companies to provide them with an opportunity to identify if they have any infrastructure in the area being considered for closure or sale. If necessary the Purchaser would be responsible for any
legal work required by the utility company.
The Town adopted By-law 3549 to enact the Town’s Sale of Real Property Policy. In general the process is as follows:
1. Obtain at least one opinion of the fair market value of the lands
2. Provide notice of sale to the public.
3. Confirm the method of sale (tender, RFP or offers) 4. Confirm exemptions from the Town’s process, such as sale of lands for tax arrears.
5. Undertake sale of land through Council resolution passed at regular,
open meeting.
6. Outline in the sale that the Purchaser is responsible for all costs incurred or required to dispose of the property on an “as is, whereas” basis.
Based on the four options presented, staff recommend proceeding with Option 3.
Restricting access to the road allowance and designating the street primarily for pedestrian through travel not only alleviates the concerns brought forward by the residents at 18 Sanders St., it also supports the recommendations found in the
Conceptual Master Plan for Memorial Park and Lake Lisgar. The Conceptual Master
Plan calls for more pedestrian connections to the park and community centre area to
Page 3 / 5
132
make movement through and getting to one’s destination safer and more efficient. It also recommends centralized vehicular routes in conjunction with improved parking
facilities, with an emphasis placed on pedestrian movement. Improvement to the
existing parking facilities are proposed in this Master Plan, including the parking area
connected to Welding Street. This represents further opportunity to restrict vehicular through-traffic access to the Welding Street Right of Way.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
The recommended course of action (Option 3) was previously presented to Council and the public in the Conceptual Master Plan for Memorial Park and Lake Lisgar presentation earlier this year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The costs associated with installing permanent road blocks (i.e. armour stone or bollards) can be accommodated in the Roads operating maintenance budget.

Report Title: Winter Overnight Parking
Report No.: OPS 15-23
Author: Kevin De Leebeeck, P.Eng., Director of Operations
Meeting Type: REGULAR COUNCIL
Council Date: AUGUST 10, 2015
Attachments: NONE
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receive Report OPS 15-23 Winter Overnight Parking;
AND THAT a By-law be brought forward to repeal By-law 3768.
SUMMARY
Prior to 2013 the overnight parking restriction ran from Oct. 15 – Apr. 30 between the
hours of 2am – 7am. In April 2013 By-law 3701 amended the Traffic By-law to restrict overnight parking from Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 between the hours of 2am – 6am. Later in
October 2013 By-law 3768 further amended the Traffic By-law to restrict overnight
parking only along Arterial and Collector roadways as well as streets within the
downtown core from Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 between the hours of 2am – 6am, allowing
residents to park overnight during the winter season on any other street in Town.
Due to the complexity of the current overnight parking restriction signs needed to be
installed along all Arterial and Collector roadways as well as roadways in the downtown
core to inform residents and visitors which streets prohibit overnight parking. To date
this direction has only been partially implemented largely due to the rate of recent staff turnover.
There have been numerous complaints as well as a delegation to Council earlier this
year regarding the frustration of the current overnight parking arrangement. In addition
Public Works staff have expressed efficiency and safety concerns. A summary of both operational and resident concerns is provided below.
Page 1 / 3
141
Operational Concerns
• The increase in the amount of maneuvering around parked vehicles has
increased the time it takes to complete a snow plow route, decreasing
overall operational efficiency.
• Additional return visits to plow snow windrows left on the road due to
parked vehicles has also increased winter maintenance costs.
• Not clearing snow to the curb due to parked vehicles causes streets to become narrower faster creating level of service issues and raises concerns of compliance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards
(O.Reg. 239/02).
• Snow piles left on the road due to parked vehicles create traffic safety hazards, especially during freeze thaw cycles.
• Maneuvering around parked vehicles increases the chance for claims due
to accidental damage, especially during snow storm events.
• The increased potential for operators to cause accidental damage to parked vehicles could result in demerit points being applied to their driver
abstract affecting their personal vehicle insurance premiums.
• Some streets become too narrow with vehicles parked on both sides to maneuver a plow truck (i.e. Washington Grand Ave. Beckett Blvd. London
St. etc.).
• Parked vehicles also affect curb-faced sidewalk snow clearing efforts
reducing efficiency and increasing the potential for damage claims and slip and fall claims.
Resident Concerns
• Decreased level of service with streets not being cleared as quickly and along narrow streets with parked vehicles.
• Additional snow clearing for homeowners when plows revisit to clear the
snow windrows left on the road from parked vehicles, especially if they
have just cleared their driveway or paid to have it cleared.
• Vehicles parked for an extended period of time create sight line issues
and cause adjacent homeowners to clear snow beyond the curb line.
• Weaving in and out around parked vehicles makes for an obstacle course along roadways in less than ideal conditions.
The current parking arrangement addresses homeowners with no private driveway or
those with more vehicles than private driveway space as well as out of Town visitors, however prior to 2013 alternative overnight parking arrangements were made by these homeowners during the winter season.
Page 2 / 3
142
Repealing By-law 3768 would reinstate the Town wide overnight parking restriction from Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 between the hours of 2am – 6am and address all of the resident and
operational concerns outlined above as well as providing a consistent Level of Service
message similar to area communities and municipalities within Oxford County as
summarized in Table 1 below. Table 1 – Overnight Parking Restriction
MUNICIPALITY DATE HOURS
Tillsonburg (proposed) Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 2am – 6am
Woodstock Dec. 1 – Mar. 31 2am – 6am
St. Thomas Nov. 15 – Mar. 15 3am – 5am
Stratford All Year 2am – 6am
Aylmer Nov. 15 – Apr. 15 3am – 6am
Ingersoll Dec. 1 – Mar. 31 3am – 6am
Norwich Dec. 1 – Mar. 31 2am – 6am
Zorra Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 1am – 8am
South-West Oxford Nov. 15 – Mar. 31 1am – 8am
The 10-year historical climatic data for Tillsonburg revealed that the first significant
snowfall greater than 5 cm (2”) occurred as early as November 16th and as late as
December 27th. Typically winter road maintenance operations for the Town takes
approximately 8 to 12 hours after the snowfall has ended, depending on the amount of snowfall received, with most of the snow clearing efforts occurring in the early morning
hours when traffic activity is normally minimal.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
The crew members of the Works Department were consulted to identify and review winter maintenance operational concerns relating to the current overnight parking
arrangement.
Information regarding winter overnight parking restrictions will be incorporated into the 2015/2016 Winter Community Guide and through repeated Focus Ad’s in the Tillsonburg News as well as on the Tillsonburg Website.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Although not quantifiable the inherent efficiencies of a Town wide overnight parking restriction and the improved level of service comes at no additional cost as well as
reducing the Town’s risk and exposure to liability.

The bid prices of the proposals received varied from $34,543.45 to $37,297.08 (net HST
included). The scoring results of the RFP are summarized below.
Proponent Total Score 1. G.C. Duke, Burlington, On 96
2. Joe Johnson Equipment, Innisfil, On 86
G.C. Duke was the highest scoring proposal submitted and has supplied this equipment to the Town of Ingersoll, City of Waterloo and the City of Toronto. The cost from this
proponent is also the lowest of the proposals received. Therefore it is staff’s
recommendation that G.C.Duke be awarded this RFP.
In addition the leaf vacuum process requires modifications to the dump body of two plow trucks to create a vented enclosure. Quotations were requested for the
manufacture and installation of two vented enclosures as summarized below.
Bidder Location Bid Amount
1. Swanzey Welding Simcoe, ON $ 8,700.48

4. Joe Johnson Equipment Innisfil, ON $ 32,612.04
The above bids include net HST of 1.76%. It is staff’s recommendation that Swanzey Welding be authorized to manufacture of the two vented lid enclosures not only
because they are the lowest bid, but also due to Swanzey Welding successfully
performing other custom tasks over the past several years.
CONSULTANTATION/COMMUNICATION
The Director of Operations, Manager of Fleet and the Roads/Fleet CSR were consulted
during the evaluation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The recommended proponent’s bid of $34,543.45 (net HST included) for the supply and

Title: Pioneer Cemetery Gateway
Report No.: RCP 15-33
Author: RICK COX
Meeting Type: COUNCIL MEETING
Council/Committee Date: AUGUST 10, 2015
Attachments:
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council receives Report RCP 15-33 –Pioneer Cemetery Gateway for
information;
AND THAT Council approves the gateway design recommended by the Pioneer Cemetery Committee;
AND THAT Council approves the sole-source procurement of the manufacturing and
installation of the gateway from Lonestar Welding Inc, Courtland at the quoted
price of $5133.97 plus applicable taxes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Pioneer Cemetery Committee has been working to implement their
revitalization plan as approved and within the funding allocated by Council. The committee has selected a gateway design and the sole-source procurement
requires Council approval. In addition, knowing that changes to the appearance of
the Town’s Cemetery can be controversial, the Committee is seeking Council approval of the recommended design.
BACKGROUND
The 2015 Capital budget includes a $27,100 allocation for further implementation of
the Pioneer Cemetery revitalization project. The 2015 workplan includes installation of marker stones and benches at each of the gravestone clusters as well
as a large master obelisk listing the names of those interred in the cemetery.
The plan also includes placing an arched gateway for the cemetery. The Committee
has worked with Lonestar Welding to develop the design based on Lonestar’s previous work several years ago to build and install the metal fence at the
Cemetery. Lonestar is matching the design elements and construction approach of
the fence in the proposed gateway design. The gateway is designed for people not
vehicles and would be about 10’ wide and have 8’ clearance.
RCP 15-33 - Pioneer Cemetery Gateway 1/2
149
The Committee asked Lonestar to prepare two designs, one with brick piers and
one without.
Option 1
Cost: $5,133.97 + HST
Option 2
Cost $7,133.97 + HST
The committee is recommending Option 1 based on cost and because the fear is
that because the gateway is not large the brick piers will make it look too heavy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT The 2015 budget includes $27,100 for the Pioneer Cemetery project.
If Option 2 was selected, the remaining budget would be $766.02.
CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION
The Pioneer Cemetery committee consulted with Town staff, the Tillsonburg & District
Historical Society and Lonestar Welding to develop these designs and select the
recommended option.

d) NATIONAL DISASTER MITIGATION PROGRAM
The federal government recently announced a new funding program to address the
rising risk and cost of flood events across Canada. The National Disaster Mitigation
Program will pay 50% of the costs to update flood mapping, flood mitigation planning
and small scale mitigation works. The deadline to receive funding for the 2015-2016
year is June 30, 2015. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is taking
the lead for the project in Ontario and requires all information by June 5th (this Friday) to
consolidate the information and submit the request for funding by the June 30th
deadline. MMAH requires conservation authorities to partner with municipalities to
complete the various requirements, therefore, LPRCA will work with Norfolk County to
complete flood hazard mapping along the Lake Erie shoreline. This Program could
potentially support LPRCA’s Shoreline Management Plan (Norfolk).
MOTION A-81/15 moved: J. Scholten seconded: R. Geysens
THAT LPRCA make application to the National Disaster Mitigation Program for funding
to undertake a project to Update Flood Mapping and Flood Risk Assessment along the

Capital as its share of the matched funds;

matched funds to this project within the approved 2015 Watershed Services Capital
Budget.

e) WATERSHED CONDITIONS UPDATE
In 2000 the Ontario Low Water Response (OLWR) plan was created to ensure
provincial preparedness, to assist in coordination and to support local response in the
event of low water conditions. Overall 2015 has seen below average precipitation and
below average air temperatures with the exception of the month of May with a late
month heavy rain and slightly warmer air temperatures. Similar conditions were seen
in early 2012. At that time the Water Response Team (WRT) declared a Level 1 low
water condition on May 22nd, 2012, asking for a voluntary 10% reduction of water usage
by all users. Although conditions are similar, there are many factors that are
considered when declaring a low water statement, and while some of the indicators
specify a Level 1 low water condition, there are more indicators dictating that a Level 1
is not required at this time.
