BACKGROUND Council will recall that in the fall of 2016 the Canada 150 Committee was established. The committee was created to work in collaboration with Town staff and community partners to plan Canada Day event activities and promote the development of a series of events throughout 2017 in Tillsonburg to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation. The committee members were Jami Stephenson, Chair, Aleksandra Webber, Josiane DeCloet, Karen Smith, Marianna Carson, Tabitha Dalm, Wendy Cameron, Heather Cnockaert, Paul Weaver, Councillor Brian Stephenson and the community leaders were Councillor Penny Esseltine, Evan VanMoerkerke, Irene Hurley and Virginia Armstrong. Staff support consisted of the Town Clerk, the Culture & Heritage Manager and the Recreation Programs Supervisor. The term of the Committee concluded on December 31, 2017, therefore the final report is provided to Council for their information. UPDATE The Town of Tillsonburg was not successful in receiving any of the Canada 150 grant funding, therefore the scale of events were smaller than originally anticipated. The committee initially reached out to challenge the community to host or to add a Canada 150 element to all events that occured in 2017. The town’s Marketing & Communications staff facilitated entering events on the website calendar for the promotion of Canada 150 events. The committee purchased a large 12 foot by 24 foot Canada Flag and asked the entire community to sign the flag for prosperity. The flag was introduced at a council meeting and councillors were the first residents of the Town of Tillsonburg to sign the flag. The flag was brought to many events within the Page 1 / 2 CL 18-06 Canada 150 Update 55 Town by the Community Leaders or a member of the committee. These events include but are not limited to: Hevenor Collection of Canadian Art, Senior Centre Mural and St. John’s Confederation Tea, Stories and Songs of Stompin’ Tom, Captain Canuck – Tillsonburg Fair, Bridal Fashions – 150 Years, Canada 150 Scavenger Hunt (Christmas Crawl), the Canada Day People’s Parade and the Marwood Metal Sculpture and Canada Day Event. The committee also initiated the Canada 150 Tree program which was facilitated through the Recreation, Culture and Parks Department. The Committee also supported a number of events within the Town throughout the year. These events include:  Youth Poster Contest  Canada Day Events  Harvest Fest  Inner Chamber 1867 Concert  Canada Skating Day FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The committee was provided a $25,000 budget to provide for or support community 150 events. As of January 2018 there remains $1347.18. The Canada Skating Day was anticipated to cost $1,000 however the community supported this event in its entirety. Those donors include Sobeys, Metro, Zehrs, Tim Hortons and the Knights of Columbus. A copy of the spreadsheet is attached for your information.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Community Heritage Ontario is seeking support from Ontario Municipal Heritage Committees and Municipal Councils to have copies sent to the Minister of Finance and our member of Federal Parliament supporting the recommendations of the Federal House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development for conservation initiatives for conserving heritage designated properties. Page 1 / 2 CL18-03 Supporting federal action on heritage property conservation 58 BACKGROUND The Heritage Committee received the request-attachment A and reviewed it at their meeting held on January 11, 2018. The Committee recommends that Council support report 10 and recommendation 11. These recommendations will offer greater protection to our heritage designated properties and will not financially impact the Town of Tillsonburg. Community Heritage Ontario is requesting municipal Council’s motions to include support of recommendation eleven- a proposed tax credit for restoration and preservation work on buildings listed in the Canadian Register of Historic Places. This tax credit program is currently being successfully implemented in America’s heritage properties and appears to be generating substantial economic development simultaneously. By supporting this motion, this will not only apply to federally owned heritage properties but will also assist in the conservation of privately owned heritage properties. The Town of Tillsonburg’s Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee passed the following motion in support of this initiative at their January 11, 2018 meeting: 8.1 Federal role in heritage conservation Moved By: P. Esseltine Seconded By: C. Nagy Resolution #4 THAT the Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee support the recommendations of the Federal House of Commons Standing Committee in Environment and Sustainable Development contained in report 10 regarding the presentation of Canada’s heritage, And further that the Committee supports recommendation number eleven, a proposed tax credit for restoration and preservation work on buildings listed in the Canadian Register of Historic Places, And further that the Committee forward this recommendation to Council for consideration. Carried. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE There would be no known cost at this time. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN (CSP) IMPACT 4.1 Promote Tillsonburg as a unique and welcoming community.

CHO seeks the support of both your Heritage CommiEee and your Municipal Council in each wriAng to the federal Minister of Environment with copies to the Minister of Finance and your member(s) of federal Parliament supporAng the recommendaAons of the federal House of Commons Standing CommiEee on Environment and Sustainable Development contained in report 10 regarding the preservaAon of Canada’s heritage. A copy of the seventeen CommiEee recommendaAons is aEached. The full report is available for viewing at: hEp://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/ENVI/report-10. While all of the CommiEee’s recommendaAons are worthy of support, it would be helpful if, in your leEers, you emphasized recommendaAon number eleven, a proposed tax credit for restoraAon and preservaAon work on buildings listed in the Canadian Register of Historic Places. The tax credit program could be similar to one that has been uAlized for years by the United States federal government. That tax credit program has achieved success in conserving America’s heritage properAes while at the same Ame generaAng substanAal economic development. ImplementaAon of the CommiEee’s recommendaAons will not only help conserve federally owned heritage properAes but will also assist in the conservaAon of privately owned heritage properAes. It is essenAal that we demonstrate widespread support for a federal government role in conserving Canada’s heritage and that this role should be pursued through the implementaAon of the Standing CommiEee’s recommendaAons. Input is being sought by the federal government on these recommendaAons over the next two months. It is important that leEers of support be received by the federal Ministers no later than February 28, 2018. Sincerely, Wayne Morgan President, Community Heritage Ontario Recommenda)ons A-ached  60 RECOMMENDATIONS of Report 10 of the House of Commons Standing Commi?ee on Environment and Sustainable Development - Preserving Canada’s Heritage: The FoundaHon for Tomorrow The CommiEee Recommends that the federal government: 1.Policy on Management of Real Property be integrated in new legislaAon so that custodian departments of designated federal heritage buildings are required to protect the commemoraAve integrity of these buildings and prevent demoliAon-by-neglect. 2.introduce legislaAon to provide statutory protecAon for federal heritage buildings. 3.introduce legislaAon imposing on Crown corporaAons the same requirements imposed on federal departments and agencies by the Policy on Management of Real Property regarding the management of federal heritage buildings, in order to protect the commemoraAve integrity of buildings owned by these Crown corporaAons and prevent their demoliAon-by-neglect. 4.introduce legislaAon to establish a process to protect, conserve, document and exhibit archaeological resources on federal land and under waters of federal responsibility. 5.introduce legislaAon to provide a statutory obligaAon on federal departments, agencies and Crown corporaAons to protect the commemoraAve integrity of all naAonal historic sites of Canada. 6.introduce legislaAon to provide a statutory obligaAon on federal departments, agencies and Crown corporaAons to protect the integrity of federal heritage buildings owned by the federal government or under its jurisdicAon. 7.Treasury Board Secretariat work with federal departments and agencies to ensure that they invest 2% of the asset replacement value annually towards the maintenance and repair of federal heritage buildings, as recommended in the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Guide to the Management of Real Property. 8.adopt a policy requiring federal departments and agencies to, when deemed appropriate, give preference to exisAng heritage buildings when considering leasing or purchasing space. 9.introduce legislaAon to: a.ensure that federal acAons do not adversely impact the commemoraAve integrity of naAonal historic sites of Canada or the integrity of heritage sites and buildings designated by provinces and municipaliAes in Canada; b.provide statutory protecAon for Canadian World Heritage sites; c.ensure that federal acAons take into consideraAon the heritage values of Canada’s historic places; and d.give statutory recogniAon of the Canadian Register of Historic Places and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conserva)on of Historic Places in Canada. 61 10.restore the funding level for the NaAonal Cost-Sharing Program for Heritage Places to a minimum of $10 million per year. 11.establish a tax credit for the restoraAon and preservaAon of buildings listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. 12.in co-operaAon with provincial and territorial governments, work to adapt future versions of Canada’s Na)onal Model Building Codes in a manner that will facilitate the restoraAon and the rehabilitaAon of exisAng buildings and the preservaAon of their heritage characterisAcs. 13.Parks Canada review its NaAonal Cost-Sharing Program and, if it is determined that rural sites are under- represented in applicaAons for funding or in the awarding of funding, steps should be taken to improve the program. 14.consider supporAng an iniAaAve modelled aeer the “Main Street America” model, to encourage public and private investment in commercial historic buildings in rural areas and small ciAes as a catalyst for community sustainability and economic development. 15.support an Indigenous-led iniAaAve that will be responsible for: a.determining how places that are important to Canada’s Indigenous peoples should be protected and preserved; b.enhancing the capacity of Indigenous communiAes to preserve places that are important to them; and c.presenAng the perspecAve of Indigenous communiAes regarding the protecAon of places that are important to them to the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and its Secretariat, Parks Canada and other federal government departments and agencies. 16.Parks Canada, in cooperaAon with Indigenous groups, include Indigenous registrars in the Canadian Register of Historic Places to improve the process by which Indigenous places that are important to Indigenous peoples are idenAfied and designated. 17.in support of the Truth and ReconciliaAon Commission’s calls to acAon 79 and 81, and in consultaAon with Indigenous groups: a.introduce legislaAon amending the Historic Sites and Monuments Act to add First NaAons, Inuit, and MéAs representaAon on the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and its Secretariat. b.The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada revise the policies, criteria, and pracAces of the NaAonal Program of Historical CommemoraAon to integrate Indigenous history, heritage values, and memory pracAces into Canada’s naAonal heritage and history. c.Parks Canada develop and implement a naAonal heritage plan and strategy for commemoraAng and, where appropriate, conserving residenAal school sites, the history and legacy of residenAal schools, and the contribuAons of Indigenous peoples to Canada’s history. d.in collaboraAon with ResidenAal School Survivors, commission and install a publicly accessible, highly visible, ResidenAal Schools NaAonal Monument in the city of OEawa to honour Survivors and all the children who were lost to their families and communiAes. 62 38 as the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit120 and the Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program.121 Julian Smith, Director of the Centre for Cultural Landscape, suggested to the Committee that only heritage buildings used commercially or by a business should be eligible for the tax credit, as is the case in the United States. According to Mr. Smith, the retrofitting of commercial buildings potentially offers more societal benefits, including the ability to revitalize main streets, old urban neighbourhoods and abandoned industrial sites, than the restoration of private homes.122 This view was not shared by Mr. Wiebe, who suggested that the credit would have a broader impact if it were extended to heritage homeowners.123 Consequently: RECOMMENDATION 11 The Committee recommends that the federal government establish a tax credit for the restoration and preservation of buildings listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places. 4. Adapting Building Codes to the Conservation of Historic Buildings Several witnesses addressed the need to adapt the building codes to the conservation of historic buildings. Before the Committee, Julian Smith indicated that current building codes in Canada are focussed on new construction and do not facilitate the conservation of existing buildings.124 In his testimony, Robert Eisenberg, Partner at York Heritage Properties, provided examples that demonstrate how current building codes are not well suited to the restoration or rehabilitation of old buildings. For instance, adding insulation to the roofs of these buildings increases snow load in winter because heat no longer escapes through the roof to melt the snow, thus threatening the buildings’ structural integrity.125 120 Canada Revenue Agency, Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit Program. 121 Canada Revenue Agency, Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program. 122 ENVI, Evidence, 28 September 2017, 0855 (Julian Smith). 123 Ibid., 0905 (Chris Wiebe). 124 Ibid., 0855 (Julian Smith). 125 ENVI, Evidence, 3 October 2017, 0905 (Robert Eisenberg). 63 PRESERVING CANADA’S HERITAGE: THE FOUNDATION FOR TOMORROW 39 According to Mr. Smith, adapting the building codes may facilitate the restoration or rehabilitation of existing buildings. He explained that cost overruns and the uncertainty with older buildings “are due to a lack of expertise in the professionals who get involved with them”.126 While talking about the restoration of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, Robert Wright, Assistant Deputy Minister, Parliamentary Precinct at the Department of Public Works and Government Services, provided a good example of the work involved meeting current building codes standards while retrofitting heritage buildings. He explained that his department had to leverage unique research capacity and expertise by forming valuable partnerships with a number of universities to overcome technical challenges of adapting the Parliament buildings to the current standards.127 Mr. Smith suggested to the Committee that adapting the building codes could help in addressing the lack of professional expertise in the retrofitting of old buildings.128 According to Andrew Waldron, whereas “[s]ome provincial building codes are strong on addressing heritage buildings, … the national building code is much weaker on the national level, often causing variances to the provincial codes.”129 Specifically, the Committee learned that only Ontario and British Columbia have added sections in their building codes that deal with existing buildings.130 Therefore, to encourage and facilitate the restoration and the preservation of existing buildings in Canada: RECOMMENDATION 12 The Committee recommends that the federal government, in co-operation with provincial and territorial governments, work to adapt future versions of Canada’s National Model Building Codes in a manner that will facilitate the restoration and the rehabilitation of existing buildings and the preservation of their heritage characteristics. D. Issues Affecting Rural Canada The Committee’s study highlighted the specific issues and challenges facing historic places in rural areas. For example, the operation and maintenance of these places often depends on volunteers from local communities. Because they are situated outside of major urban centres, they often have fewer means to garner the attention of public 126 ENVI, Evidence, 28 September 2017, 0855 (Julian Smith). 127 ENVI, Evidence, 19 October 2017, 0910 (Robert Wright, Assistant Deputy Minister, Parliamentary Precinct, Department of Public Works and Government Services). 128 ENVI, Evidence, 28 September 2017, 0855 (Julian Smith). 129 ENVI, Evidence, 21 September 2017, 0910 (Andrew Waldron). 130 ENVI, Evidence, 28 September 2017, 1025 (Julian Smith). 64 Report Title Rolph Street School Façade- Update from the Developer Report No. CL 18-04 Author Robert Marsden, Chair Heritage, Beautification & Cemetery Advisory Committee Laura Pickersgill, Legislative Services Coordinator c/o Heritage, Beautification & Cemetery Committee Meeting Type Council Meeting Council Date February 12, 2018 Attachments Proposed Drawings RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receives Report CL 18-04, Rolph Street School Façade- Update from the Developer, for information; AND THAT Council supports the recommendations of the Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee to endorse the recommendations presented by the Developer related to external façade impacts at Rolph Street property. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed minimal changes were presented to the Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Advisory Committee as a result of the acquisition of the former Rolph Street School by Curtis Wilcox Developers. BACKGROUND On January 11, 2018, Shane Curtis, partner of Curtis Wilcox Developers, presented to the Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee their proposed changes to the external façade of the former Rolph Street School property. The importance of maintaining the original façade was reiterated to the Committee from the Developer. This Developer is looking to attract individuals age 50 + that no longer wish to maintain a home and those who are not ready to move into a retirement home setting. The property was designated as a heritage building by Council on October 14, 2014 pursuant to by-law 3852. The proposed changes include:  Adding two skylights in the middle dormer to allow additional light on the third floor, pursuant to the building code requirements. The skylights will not to be noticeable from the street view.  Location of air conditioners - the red squares (on the attached drawing) indicates the position of the air conditioners, they will be difficult to see as the location is in shady areas and the colour of the units will blend with the facade. Page 1 / 2 CL18-04 Rolph Street School Façade- Update from the Developer 65  The main entrances will be relocated in the back and at the current gym location in accordance with the building code. There will be an elevator installed on the back left entry so there is no need for front doors. The Front doors are to be replaced with windows to maintain the original look.  The HVAC pipes are going to be kept to a minimum and placed on the sides of the building wherever is allowable under the building code. The Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee deliberated on the proposed changes and determined that the charges would not impact the heritage designation. The committee passed the following resolution: Moved By: S. Molnar Seconded By: S. Saelens Resolution #3 THAT the Heritage, Beautification and Cemetery Committee endorse the recommendations as presented by developer related to external façade impacts at Rolph Street property, And further that this resolution be forwarded to Council for consideration.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding any reports and recommendations from local representation at Oxford County Council. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION As a result of the effort to expand access to knowledge and information for Town Council and local stakeholders, this report is intended to provide material on activities that transpire at Oxford County Council that may have an impact on the Town of Tillsonburg. This type of report will further satisfy mandates as reinforced in the Community Strategic Plan to provide for a more accessible and open governance model. INFORMATION • County Council has approved their 2018 Business Plan and Budget as endorsed in By-law 5987-2018 of January 10, 2018. The general levy of $56.1 Million, in support of an overall Budget of $230.6 Million represents a reduction in Requirement from Taxation of 0.3% from 2017. • The issue of the opportunity of Shared Court Security costs continued to be under deliberation. The material report from CAO Calder (CAO 16-11), as endorsed by municipal Council on September 26, remained an integral part of the discussion to highlight the concerns of Tillsonburg Council. Subject to a recommendation from the specially created Ad-hoc Committee (WDN 2017-03), recommendations for a weighted support system (60% Woodstock – 40% rest of County) for both Court Security and Prisoner Transport were adopted by the majority of County Council. The net impact to Tillsonburg taxpayers will be $23,906.00. Page 1 / 2 MYR 18-01- Update- County of Oxford 87 • As approved on January 24, 2018 (Report CS 2018-03) an amended Vacant Unit Rebate Program introduced a firm “5 Year Cap” on Commercial and Industrial property applications. This subjective approach is not representative of the understanding that impacted developers and stakeholders had from earlier County Council direction to staff, however it was what was presented to, and approved by, the Ministry of Finance as interpreted in By-law #5995-2018. • Report CAO 2018-02 from January 24 introduced the intent to review the County of Oxford Procedural By-law (5852-2016) to properly align local governance with amendments the Province approved in Bill 68. Of particular impact to the lower-tier municipalities is the opportunity for an Alternate Representative at County Council meetings. • Tillsonburg will be in receipt of one Electrical Vehicle Charging station through our County partnered application with the Ministry of Transportation. This program (EVCO) is 100% funded by the Province. • Due to pressures being introduced by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) towards greater amalgamation of Public Health units in Ontario, the County of Oxford (Oxford County Public health) and the Elgin St. Thomas Health Unit have signed a letter of intent to join as one single integrated unit. This new entity, the “Board of Health for the Oxford, Elgin, St. Thomas Health Unit”, will effectively be merged on May 1, 2018. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE Whereas the material contained in this report is a summary of Oxford County information, there is no direct impact on the finances of the Town of Tillsonburg as would require approval by Municipal Council or direction from corporate staff. APPROVALS: Author: Mayor Molnar Date: 01/12/18 Page 2 / 2 CAO 88 Report Title Community Transportation Grant Program – Municipal Stream Application Report No. CAO 18-01 Author David Calder Meeting Type Council Meeting Council Date February 12, 2018 Attachments Community Transportation Grant Program – Municipal Stream Application Project Work Plan Project Budget RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receives report CAO 18-01, Community Transportation Grant Program; AND THAT Tillsonburg Town Council authorizes the submission to the Ministry of Transportation of a Community Transportation Grant Program Application-Municipal Stream for a Long-distance CT Project; AND THAT Council authorizes the CAO to sign the application form. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In December of 2017, the Ministry of Transportation introduced a new round of funding for community transportation projects through the 2017 Community Transportation Grant Program (the “CT Program”) to provide financial assistance to municipalities for the planning, implementation and operation of community transportation projects. As members of Council know, the Town of Tillsonburg has been participating in the Community Transportation Grant Program in order to provide in town transportation for local residents. As recommended by the Community Transportation Pilot Project Committee, an application for a Long-distance CT Project under the Community Transportation Pilot Grant Program – Municipal Stream is the next step for inter community connection. BACKGROUND As noted, in 2015, the Ministry of Transportation established the Community Transportation Pilot Grant Program to provide financial assistance to municipalities for the development and implementation of community transportation initiatives. The Town of Tillsonburg and its partner community organizations was one of 22 municipalities to receive funding. The Community Transportation Grant Program – Municipal Stream Application builds on the Pilot Program to fund the development of community transportation solutions to address local transportation needs, including ways to better utilize existing transportation resources. The new Page 1 / 3 89 program continues to emphasize improving mobility options for those who experience transportation barriers, including seniors, people with disabilities, youth, and persons living on low income. As well, there continues to be an emphasis on partnerships, coordination, and a collaborative approach to service delivery that can provide measurable improvements to transportation services in Ontario communities. Council will recall that under the original application in 2015, one of the future goals of the pilot was to look at intercommunity service and more connections to other transportation services such as municipal transit systems, intercity coach, or rail and other community transportation services. Staff and the community partners are recommending that an application be submitted in order to advance the intercommunity service aspect of community transportation under a Long-distance CT project under the Community Transportation Grant Program – Municipal Stream. This is a key need in the ability of local residence to access such activities as medical services, jobs, education and training. With the decline over the years in intercity coach bus services and the growth for inter-county/regional travel, the need for intercommunity service becomes more prevalent. As well, coordinating schedules and convenient transfer points amongst transportation partners help build networks and transportation hubs to serve local and regional travel. Details of the proposed long-distance CT project are contained in the attached Municipal Stream Application and work plan. A high level annual budget for the provision of the long-distance service up to 2023 is also attached. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION Staff participated in a webinar put on by staff of the Ministry of Transportation in order to learn more about the program including eligibility critieria and application process. As well, the Community Transportation Pilot Program Committee has assisted in preparing the application and securing partners to the application. Staff will also be including letters of support from other municipalities within Oxford County. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE Under the requirements of the Community Transportation Program guidelines, in order to participate in the program, a municipality has to be the lead applicant for the project and at least one community partner has to be involved. Funding is over a five-year period to help build service and ridership. Total funding is currently at $30 million for the five-year program with two levels of funding: a) Maximum individual grant of $500,000 for the five-year period for local community transportation service; and b) Maximum individual grant of $1.5 million for the five-year period for CT projects that propose long-distance scheduled bus routes. There are separate eligibility criteria and application requirements for the two levels of funding. To be eligible for funding, the proposed community transportation project must be implemented within one year of the effective date of the Agreement and operate until the expiry of the CT Page 2 / 3 CAO 90 Program, March 31, 2023. The application is applying for funds of approximately $200,000 per year for a total of $1,074,526.00. The long-distance work plan is attached to this report. The municipality must sign an agreement with the Ministry of Transportation should it be successful in obtaining approval for a grant. This agreement will set out the terms and conditions under which the Ministry agrees to provide funding to the municipality. Staff have not seen the form of the agreement as of yet. The municipality must set up a separate account for the funds through an interest bearing CT Fund Reserve account under the name of the municipality and in a Canadian financial institution where the CT Funds are deposited and tracked separately from other funds. The municipality is responsible for the proper use of the funds and to ensure the CT Project for which the funds are provided is carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the guide and agreement which will include the provision of an insurance certificate which specifically references the CT Project. While the Town of Tillsonburg is responsible for the funds and must sign the agreement, the CT Project could be carried out and managed by the town or one or more community organization(s) collaborating with the municipality or a third party provider contracted to implement and provide the proposed service. The application deadline is the end of February, 2018. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT As noted in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), the Community Transportation Program would meet the CSP’s action items of exploring alternative transportation options and implement and market a transportation program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council will recall that at their meeting of October 10, 2017, they received a report from the Community Transportation Pilot Project Committee regarding how to proceed with T:GO after the expiration of the Community Transportation Pilot Project on March 31, 2018. The Committee was suggesting that the service be contracted out through the issuance of a Request for Proposals for the purposes of attracting a private company to operate T:GO on behalf of the municipality. BACKGROUND The Town of Tillsonburg along with agency partners, applied for and received a Community Transportation Pilot Grant ($100,000) in 2015. The original pilot program was to run until March 31, 2017. The Ministry of Transportation subsequently extended the program and provided additional funding ($50,000) with a new expiry date of March 31, 2018. Subsequent to the pilot funding, the Town has applied for and received dedicated gas tax funding for a municipal transit system. As part of the pilot project, the Town Council established a Community Transportation Pilot Program Steering Committee to oversee the pilot program. The Steering Committee has established that there is community need for transit within Tillsonburg as well as created and established a transit system to meet the identified needs. The Steering Committee also believes Page 1 / 3 105 that the transit system should continue beyond the pilot phase. As the pilot is coming to the end, the Steering Committee has reviewed models of operation in order to keep the transit service operating into the future. As a result, the Steering Committee provided a report to Council in October of 2017 titled “T:GO CALL-N-RIDE Contracting Out Busing Services”. Council received the report for information with the understanding that Town staff would report further regarding moving forward with the transit service beyond the pilot expiry. Based on the information provided by the Steering Committee to Council and the work the Steering Committee has done to establish a transit system in Tillsonburg, staff is recommending that an RFP be issued to determine interest from the private sector in operating a municipal transit service beyond the pilot stage. The Town of Tillsonburg as a municipal organization, does not currently have the internal capacity to manage and operate a transit system. It is also recognized that as the T:GO Program moves forward, greater cost and service efficiencies might best be met by a contractor who has the expertise, resources and knowledge to effectively run the system on a daily basis. In addition, it is anticipated that a contractor may be able to increase levels of service and customer satisfaction. Staff would anticipate that the Steering Committee may be reinvented in some way in order to oversee any future operating contract. A “Transit Committee” could ensure that the objectives and conditions of any agreement with an “operator” or adhered too as well as ensure any community needs (i.e. long distance community transportation, inter community connections) are discussed with the operator. The governance model for transit is something that staff would report on at a later date. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION The Community Transportation Pilot Grant Steering Committee has reviewed other similar sized municipalities to determine how transit services are delivered. They have looked at the pros and cons and subsequently provided their findings to Council last October. Town staff have reviewed other municipal procurement processes and have assisted in drafting a Request for Proposal (RFP) document. The document attached to this report is in draft format as there may be some minor additions prior to release. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The release of an RFP will determine what the private sector costs are to provide a Transit service. The results of the RFP will be analyzed and Council will be the authority to award the contract to a successful bidder.

OBJECTIVE To provide Council with a recommendation for naming the Tillsonburg Dog Park. BACKGROUND The following resolution was passed during the in-camera council meeting held on October 10, 2017. Resolution #4 THAT Council receives report CL17-20 Commemorative Naming of the Tillsonburg Dog Park; AND THAT Council direct that naming the Tillsonburg Dog Park, Dave Johnson Memorial Dog Park, be brought forward in a regular Council session for endorsement following a 60 day public consultation period and subsequent review by the Commemorative Naming Committee. Moved by: Penny Esseltine Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Beres Carried Pursuant to the Commemorative Naming Policy, the 60 day public consultation process has been completed. The Commemorative Naming Committee has reconvened and reviewed comments received from the public. The resolution from the Commemorative Naming Committee held in- camera on January 29, 2018 states: Page 1 / 2 CL 18-005 Commemorative Naming Dog Park- 161 Resolution THAT the Commemorative Naming Committee recommends to Town Council the commemorative name of ‘Dave Johnson Memorial Dog Park’ for the Tillsonburg Dog Park, for as long as the park remains in its original location. Moved by: Mary Anne VanGeertruyde Seconded by: Mayor Molnar Carried As part of the public engagement process, there was public notification of the proposed name placed in the Tillsonburg newspaper- Community Update section once a month for the following months: October, November and December 2017. The notification was also put onto the Town of Tillsonburg’s website from October 16, 2017 until December 12, 2017. The notification was also placed on the Town of Tillsonburg’s Facebook page where it received 13,662 views, 198 ‘likes’, 49 comments in favour of the name and 33 shares. Staff requested comments from the Tillsonburg Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. The Tillsonburg Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee have provided their support of this motion. Additionally, there were five comments submitted from the public to the Town Clerk. All comments received were in favour of the proposed name, “Dave Johnson Memorial Dog Park”. The final recommendation from the Commemorative Naming Committee is for council to endorse the naming of the Tillsonburg Dog Park to be “Dave Johnson Memorial Dog Park”. Upon Council approval, implementation of the approved commemorative name is undertaken. This involves final notification to the nominee’s family, preparation of an official letter signed by the Mayor, and an official unveiling ceremony for the nominee’s family with the presentation of a plaque to be erected at the site. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The costs incurred would be for a plaque and an unveiling ceremony. Those costs are not known at this time but are expected to be under $1,000.00. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN (CSP) IMPACT Section 1 – Excellence in Local Government 1.3 Demonstrate accountability – Citizens are aware of ongoing Council initiatives Page 2 / 2 162 Report Title Electronic Participation in a Meeting Report No. CL 18-07 Author Donna Wilson, Town Clerk Meeting Type Council Meeting Council Date February 12, 2018 Attachments RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receives Report CL 18-07, Electronic Participation in a Meeting; AND THAT Council retain the current practice for the Town of Tillsonburg with no allowance for electronic participation in a meeting. BACKGROUND Council will recall that at the December 11, 2017 Council meeting staff provided report CL 17-17 Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, as information. The report referred to additional reports that would be provided to Council in order for decisions to be made on various matters which come into force from January 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019. Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2016, received Royal Assent on May 30, 2017. The changes amend various pieces of legislation and will come into force in phases. Certain amendments have now been proclaimed into force and will take effect January 1, 2018, including amendments to the Municipal Act under Section 238, Procedure By-Law. These amendments include the definition of a meeting and electronic participation in a meeting. This section comes into effect on January 1, 2018. Section 238 (3.1) states that the municipalities procedural by-law may provide that a member of council, of a local board or of a committee of either of them, can participate electronically in a meeting which is open to the public to the extent and in the manner set out in the by-law provided that any such member shall not be counted in determining whether or not a quorum of members is present at any point in time. This provision does not include participation in a meeting which is closed to the public. DISCUSSION Staff is currently working on an amendment to the procedural by-law which will include the definition of a meeting, and the definition of electronic participation in a meeting. While Council is not mandated to allow for electronic participation of its members, it will be an option for each Council to determine. It is Page 1 / 3 CL 18-07 Electronic Participation in a M 163 unclear how this participation would occur in terms of a device, by telephone or other modes of communication. Further, the Town does not have technology in Council chambers to allow for any other means of participation other than through telephone and the proposed 2018 budget does not provide for additional technology to be installed in Council chambers. In addition, there is no allowance for IT support during a council meeting so if the technology being used has a disruption or an issue there are no means to resolve the situation. There are no clear guidelines provided in the legislation to define the types of devices that would be allowed or rules around the electronic participation other than it would not be allowed during a closed session. Would the integrity of the meeting and the vote be compromised in terms of influence from individuals outside of the Chamber? Would decisions be made in regular session by a Council member who did not attend a closed session in which information was provided and subsequently the matter was brought to regular session for a decision? At this time staff do not recommend electronic participation, however, If Council would like to pursue participation through electronic means, staff would have to do additional research to define a procedure and guidelines to allow this type of participation. Equipment and funding requirements would have to be determined as well. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION Staff has consulted with the Ontario Clerk’s and to date the Township of Southwest Oxford is the only municipality, that we are aware of, to allow electronic participation in a meeting. The Clerk of the Town of Smith Falls did a survey of Ontario Municipalities and the results are as follows: Municipality Electronic Participation Township of South-West Oxford yes City of Barrie No Cambridge No County of Bruce No Perth No County of Prince Edward No Township of Blandford-Blenheim No Township of Norwich No Township of Zorra No Woodstock No There were not a lot of responses to the request; however it appears that most Ontario Municipalities are currently not allowing electronic participation in Council meetings or have simply not addressed the matter to date. Page 2 / 3 CAO 164 FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE If Council allows electronic participation there will most likely be a financial impact to the municipality, however until the technology and equipment required is determined we cannot identify those costs.

Page 3 / 3 CAO 165 Report Title Branded Merchandise – Extension of Purchasing Relationship Report No. DCS 18-07 Author Colleen Pepper Meeting Type Council Meeting Council Date February 12, 2018 Attachments RECOMMENDATION THAT Report DCS 18-07 Branded Merchandise – Extension of Purchasing Relationship be received; AND THAT the Town’s purchasing relationship with Talbot Marketing Inc be extended by one year until March 31, 2019. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On December 12, 2016 Council awarded a one-year contract to Talbot Marketing Inc to supply a branded merchandise program for the Town of Tillsonburg. This report provides an update on the program and recommends that the contract be extended for an additional year and three months. BACKGROUND On December 12, 2016 Council passed the following resolution: THAT Council receive Report DCS 16-38 Brand Merchandise Award; AND THAT Talbot Marketing Inc., be awarded a one-year contract to supply a branded merchandise program for the Town of Tillsonburg. The scope of services included an online store and merchandise to stock a physical store at the Tillsonburg Community Centre (a.k.a. Swag Shop). Although the resolution was passed in 2016, the launch of the program was delayed until November 2017. The delay was caused by several factors: • The selection of merchandise and proofing of decoration methods proved more time-consuming than anticipated; • There were backorders on some core stock items; • Staff support provided to the NHL Centennial Fan Arena event, including the creation and distribution of a 42-page Discover Tillsonburg Magazine. Page 1 / 4 DCS 18-07 Branded Merchandise- Extension 166 The below table summarizes how the purchasing relationship with Talbot Marketing works. Item Comment Physical Store • The former snack bar at the Tillsonburg Community Centre (opposite the pool viewing area) has been converted into a merchandise display and storage area (aka The Swag Shop) • In addition, a display case showcases items with prices o Items for sale include branded mugs, water bottles, hats, sweatshirts, umbrellas and bags, etc • Annadale NHS also has a few items for sale in their foyer Online Store • E-commerce store created by and maintained by Talbot Marketing at no cost to the Town with standard reporting • Allows for public purchases with shipping anywhere (at buyer expense) • Staff-only items are accessed via unique login Inventory Management • The Town owns all inventory from time of order with most items stored in the Talbot warehouse (London) and a portion on site at the TCC Swag Shop. Inventory is withdrawn from the Talbot warehouse as needed to restock the TCC Swag Shop. Pricing • Items required for staff uniforms or corporate purposes are sold with minimal markup (i.e. to cover shipping costs) • Items that are available to the public are sold with a moderate markup that covers underlying costs (i.e. shipping, staff time, profit, etc) • A different item is discounted each month to encourage sales and make items more affordable for all demographic groups • Pricing is determined at the beginning of each year and is not subject to midseason price increases from Talbot • The Town benefits from Talbot’s purchasing power as one of the largest providers of premium incentive and promotional products for both large and small orders Revenue • The difference between the wholesale price and retail selling price is returned to the Town on a quarterly basis for all online sales • Purchases made at the Swag Shop are credited back to the Recreation department to offset the initial purchase cost Page 2 / 4 CAO 167 Given that the branded merchandise program has only recently launched, staff recommend that Council extend the relationship with Talbot until March 31, 2019. This will allow for a full 12 months of sales data to be collected and allow for a more accurate assessment of both the program and the vendor. Anecdotal comments made by store patrons to date have been positive, with many noting the quality of the items stocked, and the range of price points. A campaign promoting the online store (tillsonburg.talbotuniforms.com) began February 1. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE If the purchasing relationship with Talbot is not extended, staff would need to begin the process of selecting a new vendor. This would require significant time to promote the opportunity, assess vendor capabilities, review item-by-item pricing and report back to Council. It would also limit the Town’s ability to replenish stock in the interim, resulting in lower projected revenue, and a loss of momentum. Additionally, new embroidery and decoration files would need to be created for all merchandise at the Town’s expense (i.e. setup fees). Inventory for the branded merchandise program is paid for by Town upon the initial order to Talbot, with future sales to the public offsetting these costs. Small quantities of stock are withdrawn to supply the Swag Shop at the Community Centre, with the rest of the inventory held at the Talbot warehouse in London. Periodic price checks with other vendors throughout the contract term ensure the pricing offered by Talbot is competitive. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN (CSP) IMPACT The development of a branded merchandise program is in keeping with the broad strokes of the Community Strategic Plan, and more specifically, the initiative supports the objectives identified in sections 3.1 and 4.1. 3.1 Make Tillsonburg an attractive place to live for youth and young professionals 4.1 Promote Tillsonburg as a unique and welcoming community. The branded merchandise program furthers the Town’s place-branding efforts. By offering an attractive, high-quality product line, the Town is effectively communicating the values of the Town and the character of the people who live here. Perhaps more importantly, the program gives staff and members of the general public the ability to become brand ambassadors—persons who proudly identify themselves as having ties to Tillsonburg and share the brand story wherever they travel. It should be noted that the ability to buy merchandise through the online store supports the first word in the Town’s tagline, “Connected. Enriched. Inspired”. As a result of the Town’s current relationship with Talbot, people can view the available product line and ship orders anywhere in the world (at the buyer’s expense). Page 3 / 4 CAO 168 As identified in the Brand Platform, delivering a consistent message about Tillsonburg is important. It is imperative that any products bearing the Town logo be good representations of the community, provide good value and are produced in accordance with the standards in the Brand Manual. Page 4 / 4 CAO 169 Report Title 2018 Budget Report No. FIN 18 - 03 Author Dave Rushton Meeting Type Council Council Date FEBRUARY 12, 2018 Attachments 2018 Budget Summary Tax Requirement 2018 Departmental Business Plans RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receives report FIN 18-03 2018 Business Plans and Budget; AND THAT the 2018 Budget and Business Plans in the amount of $14,815,000 from taxation be adopted; AND FURTHER THAT a by-law be brought forward setting the 2018 Property Tax Rates. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is to present the final 2018 Budget and Departmental Business Plans for approval. The 2018 Budget and Departmental Business Plans reinforce the three major budget themes of service excellence to the public, improved organizational processes and capital investment in infrastructure. BACKGROUND The 2018 budget process started with a review of the key programs that Council wanted to see included in the budget. Staff then prepared the draft budget that was reviewed over budget meetings in November and December 2017 and included deputations from various committees and community groups. The process was finalized with three meetings in January and February, 2018. Through the budget process Council confirmed to continue to utilize the 2012 to 2016 phased-in growth in assessment as a funding contribution to the Asset Management Plan through the Capital Budget. The budgeted requirement from taxation changed year over year from $13,989,100 to $14,815,000 amounting to an increase of $825,900. This increase includes the additional investment in the Asset Management Plan of $337,000 for 2018. The capital budget leverages $12,096,000 in capital investment which includes $1,458,600 from taxation. CONSULTATION Council was consulted to start the budget process and all meetings have been published in the newspaper and on the Town website. In addition, Capital Budget was published on the Town website in November and the Operating Budget in December. The results of Councils decision will be issued in a news release and one of the Town’s weekly community pages will contain more details on the budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT Page 1 / 2 Final 2018 Budget 170 The 2018 Operating Budget totals $20,513,700 of which $13,356,400 is funded from taxation. The 2018 Capital Budget totals $12,208,700 which includes a requirement from taxation of $1,458,600. This results in a 2018 tax levy rate increase of 1.95%. An additional estimate for new tax revenue reduced the new tax requirement through a rate increase from 2.06% to 1.95%. Council’s approval of the 2018 Operating and Capital Budgets will allow staff to carry out the actions contained in the 2018 Departmental Business Plans. COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN Section 1 – Excellence in Local Government 1.3 Demonstrate accountability – The Municipal Budget and Business Plans ensure transparency and accountability of local government.

Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks Meeting Type Council Meeting Council Date January 22, 2017 Attachments • CCDC-2 2008 Stipulated Price Contract • RCP 17-48 – Implementing an Energy Retrofit at TCC RECOMMENDATION THAT Council receives Report RCP 18-08 Contract Authorization: CIMCO Refrigeration Division of Toromont Industries; AND THAT Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract with CIMCO Refrigeration Division of Toromont Industries for the Refrigeration ($693,700) and Mechanical ($248,100) components of the Tillsonburg Community Centre Energy Retrofit; AND THAT a by-law be brought forward. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On November 13, 2017, Council approved the Energy Retrofit Project and awarded the refrigeration component contract to CIMCO Refrigeration Division of Toromont. This report requests that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract for the refrigeration and mechanical scope of the project. BACKGROUND The background information providing justification and explanation for this project is contained in the attached report, RCP 17-48 – Implementing an Energy Retrofit at TCC. This report was received and the recommendations approved at the Council meeting of November 13, 2017. The attached contract is for the previously awarded refrigeration component of the work as well as for the mechanical component. No responses were received for the mechanical tender, and staff sought Council authorization to negotiate a price with CIMCO. The negotiations concluded successfully, with the mechanical price confirmed at slightly less than the budgeted amount. CONSULTATION/COMMUNICATION The contract was prepared by the Town’s consultants for the project, I.B. Storey Inc. The contract template was reviewed by the Town’s legal advisors. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The contract stipulates the price for the combined mechanical and work at a total of $941,800 plus HST. When the $693,700 refrigeration tender was awarded in November, Report 17-48 noted a budget price for the mechanical work of $255,245. The negotiated price for the mechanical work is $248,100. The work is being funded by debt, and the debt payments are being serviced through operational cost savings. This project received 2018 pre-budget approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY With Council’s authorization via the 2017 Budget and RCP Workplan, staff has worked with I.B. Storey Inc. to complete the technical design of an energy retrofit project at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. This project moves the facility to true emergency centre readiness with improved patron, staff and neighbourhood safety. It addresses imminent lifecycle replacement Page 1 / 7 RCP 17-48 - Implementing an Energy Retro 276 issues and reduces operating costs enough to both avoid impact to the tax rate and recover the cost of the project in a reasonable timeframe. Tenders were issued for the project components to secure firm market pricing for implementing the project. This report requests authorization to execute the energy retrofit project using debt financing funded through the operational savings achieved by implementing the project. Other non-tax funding sources will also be pursued as appropriate. BACKGROUND In alignment with the Town of Tillsonburg’s Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan submitted in 2014 as part of the requirements of the Green Energy Act, staff continue to identify and pursue ways to reduce the Town’s energy footprint. In 2015, funding was secured through Tillsonburg Hydro’s Conservation Demand Management initiatives to execute a Detailed Engineering Study (DES) of the Tillsonburg Community Centre. I.B. Storey Inc. was hired to conduct the DES and their report was independently reviewed by the IESO. The study identified a variety of projects to achieve energy savings. The report was presented to Council in July, 2016. Council adopted the following resolution: Moved By: Councillor Rosehart Seconded By: Councillor Hayes THAT Council receive Report RCP 16-19, TCC Detailed Engineering Study Report and Recommendations; AND THAT Council authorize staff to enter a single-source contract with I. B. Storey Inc. to develop the system design and RFP specifications for an energy conservation retrofit at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. The contract was negotiated to include five phases, with a break point between phase 2 and 3 in order to secure Council authorization to proceed further. The initial phases of the contract with I.B. Storey Inc. were funded in the 2017 budget and staff received Council’s consent to proceed to tender in order to secure market pricing (RCP 17-02). No commitment beyond phase 1 and 2 of the design work has been made. With confirmed pricing now secured, Council should consider implementing the project for summer 2018 as planned. The costs secured through the procurement process are in line with the project budget that was presented in 2016 by I.B. Storey Inc. A Condensed Scope of Work is attached providing a brief overview of the project. After the design was completed, four tender packages were prepared and issued. Three of the tenders closed with at least one qualified bidder. No bids were received for RFT 2017-013 – Mechanical. The results are presented in the table below. Tender Bidder Bid Price Cimco Refrigeration: A Division of Toromont Industries (London)693,700$ Black & MacDonald Ltd. (Stoney Creek)698,908$ RFT 2017-12 - Automation Trane Sales Agency - N.L.

Neither submitted a bid. A technical review of the submissions received and confirmation of the bona fides of the proponents has confirmed the highlighted vendors be awarded the work at their tendered price. As no bids were received for the Mechanical tender, if Council authorizes the implementation of this project staff will work with I.B. Storey Inc. to confirm the scope and negotiate a change order cost with the contractor awarded the Refrigeration tender. Emergency Preparedness & Business Continuity As a designated evacuation centre for the Town and within the larger County emergency planning context, the Community Centre may be needed to shelter people in an emergency. Currently, if there is a power outage the building must be evacuated. A backup generator can be brought on site and used to provide power to some parts of the building, but the process takes time and may not be possible if the road network is affected. • Emergency Evacuation Centre – As a designated evacuation centre for the Town and within the larger County emergency planning context, it is a best practice to have on-site hydro generation capacity to keep power on in the building in an emergency. • Short-term power outages – As experienced in recent power outages, patrons in the pool or on the ice must immediately leave the building and cannot be allowed back in until power is restored. This can be quite uncomfortable when it happens in the middle of a swimming lesson or hockey game in February. The new system will make it possible to quickly restore enough power to the building to allow people to at least get changed and retrieve their belongings. (NOTE: in a fire alarm situation, everyone will still have to leave the building until allowed back in by the fire department. • Business continuity – with onsite generation in place and working all the time, most rentals, games, lessons & activities would not need to be cancelled. For example, a wedding reception or fundraising event could be allowed to continue with minimal interruption. The generation capacity will not be able to support continued operation of the ice plant or pool filtration systems in an emergency. A typical emergency backup generator installation is installed with the hope that it is never used. However it requires maintenance, fuel, regular testing, and takes up room. If continuous electrical generation is available on site, the need for additional or separate backup power is eliminated. The control systems will be sophisticated enough to monitor whether the overall costs are lower using hydro from the grid or using the natural gas powered generators instead, enabling the facility to switch to the more economical source at any given point. The investment in generating capacity will not sit idle waiting for a disaster; it will be continually deployed in a way that maximizes the benefit to the Town. Timing Considerations There are several reasons for recommending approval of this project at this time: • User impact - The impact of this project on facility operations is significant. It will require the ice plant to be shut down for construction no later than the end of April. No ice will be available for summer programming for May through August. User groups need to have as much notice as possible to plan accordingly. • Regulatory approvals – The co-generation component of the project requires regulatory approval from the local utility and the Ontario Energy Board prior to construction. This process takes time and needs to be initiated as soon as possible. • 2018 budget planning – As noted above, there is considerable impact to the facility operations in 2018. Confirming this 2018 project now enables staff to incorporate the Page 3 / 7 RCP 17-48 - Implementing an Energy Retro 278 corresponding revenue and expenditure adjustments into the 2018 draft budget from the earliest stages. • Incentive programs – IESO-supported energy savings incentive and rebate programs are expected to change at the end of 2017. By initiating the project now, the rebate and incentives calculated into the project ROI will be secured; • Procurement process – The irrevocable period for the bids submitted as part of the tendering process ends on November 15, 2017. After that date the pricing is no longer secured. The successful bidders need to incorporate these large projects into their work schedule for 2018 in order to meet the required construction schedule. • Lifecycle renewal – Among other components, 2 of 3 chillers, 2 of 3 compressors and the condenser are scheduled for replacement between 2018 and 2020. As they approach their nominal end-of-life, the risk of a failure that impacts ice users increases. If Council chooses not to proceed now, the project cannot be scheduled for 2018. The prices received through the tendering process will no longer be firm, and the tenders will have to be cancelled. Service Level Improvements In addition to achieving considerable energy consumption reductions, the project incorporates several increases in service level for the residents of the Town of Tillsonburg. • Increased refrigeration capacity – the improved ice plant includes capacity to support the outdoor artificial ice pad planned by the J.L Scott McLean Legacy Fund. The current ice plant does not have the effective capacity to support that additional load. The incremental cost for this capacity is approximately $10,000. A stand-alone project to supply refrigeration for the outdoor pad would cost significantly more. • Onsite emergency power – the cogeneration turbines will provide onsite emergency backup power for the facility in case of power outage. A stand-alone standby emergency generator system of the required capacity would cost $250,000 • Increased safety – the new ice plant configuration reduces the amount of ammonia charge required to power the system by over 60%. Ammonia is an extremely hazardous substance and the potential impact of a spill or leak is dramatically reduced in the new system. There is no value that can be placed on this enhancement to staff and patron safety. • Net metering readiness – the project puts the facility in a position to take advantage of future changes to the hydro system when net metering is rolled out. This strategy is in alignment with the Future Oxford Sustainability Plan. Despite repeated applications, the facility has not yet secured a contract to generate hydro through a FIT or Micro-FIT contract for rooftop solar, which makes net metering a very attractive opportunity to reduce utility costs when it becomes available. As outlined in the bullet list above, this project not only supports needed lifecycle renewal of existing infrastructure and achieves consumption cost reductions, it brings a net service level increase to the residents of Tillsonburg in terms of capacity, safety, emergency resiliency and future readiness. Environmental Impact The project is designed to reduce electrical consumption, dependence on diesel fueled emergency backup, make more efficient use of natural gas and reduce the use of ammonia as a refrigerant. The project includes replacement of compressors, chillers and pumps in the ice plant with new, more efficient equipment and the conversion of the mini-pad to GLICE (a high- slip, low-maintenance plastic). Page 4 / 7 RCP 17-48 - Implementing an Energy Retro 279 The project also incorporates a natural gas powered co-generation turbine system. The concept behind co- generation is that the heat given off by a turbine that is generating electricity needed for the facility is captured and used for other purposes like cooling or heating. At the Community Centre, there is considerable and continuous need for heating and/or cooling water and space. The waste heat from the co-gen system will be used to reduce the need to use electrical and natural gas in other parts of the Community Centre by heating water for the pool and dressing rooms, for under floor heating to prevent frost build up, and in HVAC equipment to regulate air temperature and humidity. Initially, the pool, the Auditorium, the dressing rooms and the ice plant will be recipients of the waste heat. As HVAC equipment is replaced over time, more and more of the waste heat will be recaptured, further reducing the overall energy consumption and GHG footprint. Maximizing the Investment Asset management planning to accommodate the replacement cycle of the ice plant components like the chillers, compressors and condenser would require the equivalent of the refrigeration component of this project to be executed between 2018 and 2020. By consolidating the refrigeration work into one project there are mobilization savings. Although they make the up-front costs higher, by including the cogeneration and automation components, this project provides a way of offsetting the capital costs while achieving service level increases as noted above. The increasing maintenance costs of the aging ice plant are putting additional pressure on annual operational budgets. A recent failure in the heat exchanger supplying warm brine to prevent frost build-up under the ice pads is an example of how the current plant components are reaching their end of life. It makes sense to replace this heat exchanger with one that will use waste heat from the co-gen system when it is online. In 2015, the Town invested in a state-of-the-art CIMCO 6000E controller for the ice plant to maximize our ability to control energy costs with the tools available in the existing ice plant. The 6000E will be redeployed in the new ice plant, but will have a much more sophisticated system to work with.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The known and estimated costs of the project are provided in the table to the right. Additional external funding will be sought through the current GHG Challenge Fund opportunity, which may fund up to 50% of the eligible costs. The pre-tax total project cost including contingency is $2,337,983. This cost will be partially offset by IESO applicable rebate and incentive funds estimated at $252,200 for a projected net cost to the Town of $2,083,783. The funding model for this project is that the capital costs for implementing the project will be paid for using debt. The annual principle and interest costs for the servicing will be paid for by a corresponding reduction in energy consumption costs. The amount of debt required to finance the project will be reduced by the energy rebates and incentives received for the project. This funding model is in alignment with the Town’s Debt Management Policy to use debt to finance projects that will be repaid through operational savings. Modeling of the project using current energy costs results in a calculated annual energy cost savings of approximately $142,000. This is equal to 26% of the current (2016) annual utility cost for the facility. This amount, supplemented with savings achieved during the construction shut-down, matches the semi-annual debt servicing costs based on a 20-year debenture. An amortization schedule for Infrastructure Ontario financing based on a 20 year debenture has been attached for information purposes. The actual amount of debt placed will change to reflect the receipt of grants and rebates, and the amortization period adjusted accordingly. Starting in 2019, the annual utility budget of the facility will be reduced to offset the semi-annual payments, with the funds instead shown as a budgeted contribution to the Recreation, Culture & Parks Reserve. P&I payments will be shown in the operation budget beginning in 2019, with a contribution from the Recreation, Culture & Parks reserve to offset them. This project will not only pay for itself but will pay for approximately $800,000 in refrigeration plant replacement costs that are required to continue current service levels and would otherwise have had to be paid through taxation. In order to provide appropriate authorizations and provide a documentation trail, staff request that this project be given pre-budget approval for inclusion in the 2018 budget.
