Subject: Water Heater Rental Service
Report Number: HYD 19-01
Author: Ian McKenzie, Hydro Operations General Manager
Meeting Type: Council Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Recommendation:
That Council receive Report HYD 19-01 for information;
AND THAT Council direct staff to provide a report of options to exit the water
heater rental service back to council by January 6, 2020.
Background:
This report is to assist the Town of Tillsonburg in determining financial risks and
mitigation options of the Water Heater Rental Tank program within the Town.
The Town of Tillsonburg inherited the Water Heater Rental Service from the former
PUC. THI is not allowed to participate in this area of service so the Town has continued
on with this service. At a point in time, there was logic to be in the business when the
PUC rented the water heaters and sold electricity with some cross benefit. This has not
been the case for several years and the town indirectly benefits from electrical sales
through its ownership of THI but not enough to cover the losses and liability.
Discussion:
The Town currently rents electric hot water tanks to residents within the Town providing
both a 40 Gal and 60 Gal option. As of October 31, 2019, the Town rents 360 water
heater tanks to residents with the tank’s age demographics below:
Age of

Rented

3 14 8 12 13 23 18 12
4 24 9 16 14 10 19 + 48
Assuming the average life expectancy of a Water Heater Tank is 10 years, the Town’s
deployed inventory has 176 tanks that are at, or past the expectant life. Each tank to
Page 16 of 135
HYD 19-01 Page 2 of 4
purchase and install cost approximately $1,000 and has an approximate 8 year payback
of the installation costs and interest on financing, at $12 rental cost per month. This
allows for an average of 2 years of rental revenue ($288) to offset labour, billing and
profit margin, calculated at approximately $400 per tank installation, over the useful life
resulting in a 10 year loss of $112.
The Water Heater Rental program budget line shows a $15,000 net profit but does not
include the costs of operating the activities such as labour, mailing, collections etc.
As identified above, for the Town to continue providing this service a large capital outlay
would be required and funded through user pay debt. The immediate number of tanks
that are beyond their useful life is 176, with additional tanks reaching the end of the
useful life each year. At the approximate $1,000 installation cost per tank, $176,000 is
required immediately to bring our rental inventory up to standards and an additional
$73,000 over the next five years.
Case law regarding Water Heater Rentals has undergone some change over the past
few years, where now the owner of the tank (Town) has become responsible for
damages resulting in tank failures (flood damage). The Town’s current deductible per
claim is $20,000 and moving to $50,000. If one of the 176 identified “at risk” tanks fails,
a considerable loss would impact the Town.
The liability for the Town is not balanced out by the net benefits provided to the Town.
Current market rates for electric water heaters is between $13 and $14 per month.
Moving towards market rates (from our current $11 & $12 monthly rental rates) would
not materially impact the “Cost / Benefit” analysis.
With the above discussions considered, it is staff’s recommendation is to take action to
exit this business immediately. The exit strategy will require legal input regarding active
contracts (tanks installed within the past year) and could be developed for the January
6th Council Budget Meeting.
Financial Impact/Funding Source:
Continue Water Tank Rental Service – risks identified above including liability from
failure ($20,000 per claim), capital cost outlay ($176,000 re-investment in current year)
and impacts from rental rate increases.
Exit Water Tank Rental Service – loss of contribution to shared expenses of $15,000
and wind down costs.

Subject: White Paper – Service Level Increase
Report Number: DCS 19-37
Author: Cephas Panschow, Development Commissioner
Meeting Type: Council Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Background:
Over the past ten years, there have been significant changes in the way media and
newspaper companies cover local issues. Due to technological innovation, changes in
the marketplace, and global competition, many media companies do not offer the same
level of coverage of local news, sports, events, etc. At the same time, the expectations
of residents have increased. With the advent of social media platforms, citizens of
municipalities expect timely and accurate information from their municipal government.
The effects of reduced coverage by others and higher expectations from ratepayers
have resulted in a significant and growing communications gap. The purpose of this
report is to seek Council support for the addition of part-time contract staff person to
assist with Council’s priority of increasing multi-media communications to enable more
effective and efficient communication with the Town’s citizens.
Discussion:
The Economic Development & Marketing Departments is comprised of the following
staff and responsibilities:
Job Title Summary Job Description
Development Commissioner Responsible for investment attraction,
business retention, entrepreneurial liaison,
real estate, advertising, and
communications management
Marketing & Communications Officer Responsible for ensuring that the
municipality is marketed appropriately, that
the profile of the corporation is improved,
and that the brand guidelines are followed
Marketing Coordinator Responsible for providing marketing and
communications support to the
corporation, assisting with coordination of
a lead management program, and
Page 22 of 135
DCS 19-37 Page 2 of 4
conducting research to support investment
attraction, communication and workforce
initiatives (60% FTE)
Responsible for providing marketing and
communications support for RCP
programs and initiatives (40% FTE)
Due to increased demand from other departments for graphic design and
communications support services, new corporate priorities and Economic Development
& Marketing department Business Plan objectives, the department is unable to process
an increasing number of requests in a timely manner. Ensuring that all Corporate
communications meet branding and design standards is important to maintain the
Town’s professional ‘look and feel.’ Additionally, all corporate communications must
now meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) standards as required
by recent legislation.
Further, Council has specifically requested a number of communication tools to be
considered and content added to the Town’s website and social media page on a
regular basis.
Due to the current workload, staff is unable to meet these increased demands. Hence,
staff is seeking additional funding to increase the level of service provided to ratepayers
and internal departments. This will be realized by the addition of part-time contract staff
person to help meet these demands.
Consultation:
The Director of Recreation, Culture and Parks, the Development Commissioner, and the
Senior Leadership Team have had a number of discussions regarding the best way to
optimize the deployment of the Corporation’s current communications team while
maintaining service levels to existing departments.
Financial Impact/Funding Source:
The draft 2020 Economic Development & Marketing budget contains a funding request
for an additional $12,500 for a part-time contract communications support person. This
funding was intended to support the start-up of a contract person by July 1, 2020. The
draft budget also includes $15,000 for grid movement, which is no longer required due
to staff turn-over. Hence, staff is requesting approval to combine these two amounts for
a total of $27,500 to secure part-time staff for the full year.

Subject: White Paper – Achieving Energy Cost Savings at the Tillsonburg Community
Centre
Report Number: 19-63
Author: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks
Meeting Type: Council Budget Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Background:
Council requested information about the energy cost savings at the Tillsonburg
Community Centre to verify that the cost savings are enough to cover the debt servicing
costs of implementing the LED rink lights and the energy retrofit project. This report
outlines the overall changes in consumption levels, the associated hydro cost savings
and natural gas cost increases, and the debt servicing costs.
Discussion:
At the Community Centre, there are two water meters, two gas meters and one metered
hydro account. The Heat, Light & Water (H,L&W) budget line in the 465 department
reflects the costs from all of these meters, as well as meters at the Waterpark, Summer
Place and Gibson House. The 2019 H,L&W budget allocation was reduced from
$576,100 in 2018 to $382,100 in 2019. So far, $331,578 (87%) has been charged
against that budget. The reduced H,L&W allocation is largely offset by increases in the
allocations for debt and debt principal, but the combined total does reflect an overall
reduction in the impact to taxation of $10,000.
Comparing straight hydro consumption from year to year is difficult as the number of
cold days and hot days does affect hydro usage. However, the using the average hydro
consumption for 2013-2016 (2,366,382 kWh) as a way to minimize annual temperature
fluctuations, installing the LED lighting in 2017 and the TCC Energy Retrofit project in
2018 has reduced the overall hydro consumption in the building by almost 20% to
1,902,864 kWh. This is even though the outdoor pad was operating for over two
months earlier this year. The overall consumption reduction has been achieved mainly
through the replacement of the old ice plant with a much more efficient one.
Without this 20% reduction in total hydro consumption, the 2019 hydro bills to date
would have cost approximately $419,000, compared with the $363,000 the January-
November period cost in 2016. 2016 is the most appropriate year to use for comparison
because it was the year before the LED arena lights were installed in August 2017 and
in 2018 the ice plant was entirely shut down from mid-June to the end of August while
the new one was installed. Although the turbines were installed in May 2018 and
Page 33 of 135
RCP 19-63 Page 2 of 4
operating most of the rest of the year, the monitoring systems were not fully completed
until December so there is no data regarding their production for most of that period.
Since coming on line in June of 2018, using the turbines to generate hydro for use at
the facility has saved approximately $290,000. $The turbines have generated
approximately 54% of the hydro used at the facility so far in 2019. Attached are copies
of the monitoring system dashboards that assist staff to keep an eye on how the system
is functioning.
The November 2019 hydro bill has
not been received yet, but for the
January-October period, hydro bills
have totaled $143,514. So far this
year, the average unit cost of
hydro is up 6% over 2018 to
$0.177/kWh and has increased
48% since 2013. The 2020 budget
anticipates a further 5% increase
in hydro rates.
As expected, total gas
consumption at the facility is
considerably higher in 2018 and 2019 than in prior years because of the turbines.
However, the cost of gas used for the North end of the building including the pool,
Health Club, Senior Centre, Lions Auditorium and squash courts is down by over 65%
already because of the heat recovery system. Further reductions will be seen as more
hot water and HVAC systems are converted over to take advantage of the heat
recovery loop. The turbines are being operated in a manner designed to maximize their
heat recovery efficiency over the year so that the anticipated incentives and rebates are
secured.
In summary, the projected hydro consumption reductions are being achieved and the
majority of the electricity consumed at the Community Centre is being generated by the
turbines. Unit cost increases in hydro purchased from the grid are higher than
anticipated in 2019, and are projected to increase further in 2020. The increase in gas
consumption and cost is in line with projections, although the carbon tax increases
anticipated over the next several years will have an impact on costs. The annual debt
servicing costs to install the LED lights ($6,600) and implement the Energy Retrofit
($176,800) are being offset by the overall reduction in utility costs, especially when
adjusted for increased unit costs. The on-site power generation has increased the
service level at the Community Centre so a significant portion of the facility can operate
in the event of an extended power outage.

Financial Impact/Funding Source:
The energy conservation projects implemented in 2017 and 2018 at the Community
Centre have achieved the cost savings required to offset the debt servicing for
implementing the projects. This use of debt funded through operational savings has
avoided the need to fund the ice plant replacement out of taxation or debt serviced by
taxation. The projects have achieved substantial ‘future cost avoidance’ while renewing
critical infrastructure and enhancing the ability of the facility to serve the community in
the event of an emergency or hydro outage without increasing the impact on tax rates.

Subject:Tillsonburg aquatic facilities
Date:Wednesday, October 23, 2019 10:47:37 AM
Thank you for attending our executive meeting October 22nd to discuss the state of the current
aquatic facilities (both outdoor and indoor) and plans for the future.
The Tillsonburg Lions have had a long history of supporting this type of facility for the Tillsonburg
area which does indeed support the larger tri-county area, the Lake Lisgar Water Park being one of
our major projects over the years.
We are aware that the current outdoor facility is badly in need of an update and we will continue to
be supportive of the Town’s efforts to provide this type of facility for the community. An outdoor
facility provides for a basic need of our residents. We are prepared to work with the Town to provide
whatever assistance we can to ensure that this important resource is maintained and improved.
In addition, we know that the indoor aquatic facilities need to be updated not only to provide
facilities to the community but also to meet current regulatory requirements. The indoor facility also
provides a “core service” and one that would be supported by the Lions Club of Tillsonburg.
We look forward to updates on progress made to these plans and how we can be a part of the
development.
Regards
Bruce Kendrick, President, Tillsonburg Lions Club.

Re: Comments relating to Town of Tillsonburg Aquatic Infrastructure
We understand that Town Council has requested comments by service clubs relating to the state of Tillsonburg’s aquatic
facilities. After a meeting relating to this topic, we provide the following comments:
The Town of Tillsonburg was well ahead of its time in providing indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities
with over 40 and 60 years of service respectively and the facilities have served the Town well.
The Town’s aquatic facilities are valued and have the potential to serve a wide variety of the population
young to old. The health benefits for continued activity of aquatic swims and therapy pools are well
documented, particularly since Tillsonburg also has a high number of seniors in the community.
The Town services a population well beyond Town limits with aquatic facilities. User fees do not offset
the considerable net cost (operating and capital) for provision of these services, yet surrounding
communities have not supported portions of either operating nor capital costs for these facilities. The
Town does not appear to have reserve funds ready for replacement of these assets despite the certainty
of these facilities coming to the end of a long life cycle.
The level of external usage of aquatic facilities by those living outside the Town of Tillsonburg should be
documented to Council. Cost per use or revenue per use data of aquatics versus Town investment in
other recreation activities are also not available for analysis, even within the studies provided. External
communities should be assisting with either/or operating and capital costs as demonstrated by other
Ontario communities.
The existing facilities were provided in an era of Wintario grants, CRCA (Community Recreation Centres
Act) grants which allowed fundraising by the community with equal 25% shares (Wintario, CRCA,
Community fundraising, Tax allocation). These mechanisms no longer exist in the same manner. Our
Rotary Club (and other service clubs) expressedly cannot contribute funds derived from lottery proceeds
under Provincial regulations.
Given our understanding that both facilities are at or near the end of their capital asset lifecycle and
further, Town Council should put forward efforts to have “shovel-ready” proposals for accessing
available federal and provincial infrastructure grant funding now available to Ontario communities.
(eg: City of Niagara Falls submission information).
There should be a common strategy by services clubs with regard to this issue. Other than casual
discussion, there has not been a formal opportunity for this issue to be discussed within a combined
meeting of service clubs on this issue
Page 82 of 135
The consensus of our own club, is that the Town should retain the current competitive indoor aquatic
tank, to add a 2nd multiuse pool that features full accessibility and some aquatic therapy features (jets,
therapy pool features, graduated entry, family change room etc.) As well, the Town should not invest
further in the outdoor pool and like many other Ontario communities provide a splashpad facility
adjacent to the indoor facility for efficiencies in utility and maintenance costs.
The Rotary Club of Tillsonburg is a small club (17 persons) at present and continues to provide many services and
projects that benefit the Town of Tillsonburg directly including recreation playground equipment, tree plantings,
leadership development of young students, funding of high school bursaries, past service projects such as the
Rotary Wing of the community centre, the Clock Tower and many other initiatives.
We thank the Town Council for this opportunity to comment.

RE: Lake Lisgar Water Park
DATE: November 26, 2019
The Tillsonburg Kinsmen Club has made significant investment in the Lake Lisgar Water Park over the
last 75 years the club has been in Tillsonburg both in financial contributions and in-kind work.
Rick Cox presented to the club at a general meeting the various deficiencies that the park currently has
and options for the future.
The Tillsonburg Kinsmen believes the Lake Lisgar Water Park is a valuable asset to the town which adds
to the quality of life for the residents of our great town and is one of the many qualities that aids in
business attraction.
The Tillsonburg Kinsmen Club has interest in supporting both financially and with in-kind work an
enhanced water park. We believe this water park should have a free and accessible splash pad
component. The enhanced water park we feel would benefit from one to two water slides that
potentially use a landing area rather than a full swimming pool.
Our support is conditional on being satisfied with the proposal for the area.
Please feel free to contact me at 519-808-3537 or shane@curtiswilcox.com with any questions.

Subject: White Paper – Summary of Facility Condition Assessment Reports
Report Number: 19-61
Author: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks
Meeting Type: Council Budget Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Background:
Council requested a summary of the current status of Facility Condition Assessments
(FCAs), and for the full FCA reports to be available to Council for review. This report
provides the summary of the current status. All current finalized FCAs are available
electronically through the Council Intranet or in a binder for Council members to review.
The FCA’s for the Fire Hall and OPP Headquarters are still in draft form and were
received by staff for preliminary review on November 28, 2019.
Discussion:
Between 2016 and 2019, thirteen facility condition assessments (FCA’s) were
commissioned on Town Buildings, Courts and Diamonds using OSIF grant funding.
These reports were performed by consultants who were commissioned to evaluate the
condition of the facility and provide a 25-year maintenance plan to keep the facility
operating at the current level of service. For buildings the consultants were also asked
to comment on whether there was risk of asbestos in the construction of the facility and
to review the AODA compliance of the facility.
As of December 2019, not all
locations have been assessed.
Further FCA’s will be commissioned
for the facilities listed in the table to
the right as funding is made available.
Obtaining current FCA’s for all
infrastructure is a requirement of the
Town’s Asset Management Plan as
the Town makes the transition from
age-based planning to condition-
based planning to comply with
Provincial regulations.

Below is a summary of the Area, Facility, Overall Condition, and 25-year costs identified
in the FCA reports to date.
Based on the 25-year costs shown in the table above, an annual asset maintenance
allocation of $103,000 (adjusted for inflation) for Courts & Diamonds each year for 25
years should be sufficient to maintain the current level of service for that time. Similarly,
an annual asset maintenance budget each year for 25 years of $643,000 (adjusted for
inflation) for the Corporate Buildings listed should maintain their operation in good and
serviceable condition for that time. The 2020 draft capital budget includes an allocation
for Courts and Diamonds of $100,000, as well as $450,000 for buildings and $120,000
for roof work. These allocations are augmented by specific allocations for the indoor
pool and the waterslide replacement.
Consultation:
Facility Condition Reports have been performed by a+LiNK Architects Ltd., WSP
Canada Inc., AquaPlans Aquatic Consultants Inc., Sports Turf International Ltd., and
Court Crafters Inc.
Financial Impact/Funding Source:
OSIF grant funds have been used for the Facility Condition Assessments. In 2020, the
draft budget proposes a different use for OSIF funds and therefore the FCA’s scheduled
for 2020 will not occur unless an alternate funding source becomes available.

Building Condition Assessment Report
a+LiNK Project No. 1638, 2 March 2017 DRAFT 3|36
Executive Summary
The historic Annandale House constructed in
circa 1883 is a wood and masonry building
following the Victorian architectural style. The
interior and exterior of the house is highly
decorated following the aesthetic arts
movement. The original house is designated as
a National Historic Site of Canada for its
decorative interior. The house is in generally fair
to good condition. However, there are some
deficiencies and historic incompatibilities such
as the exterior masonry mortar joints to be
repaired.
The major concern with the house is the slate
roof. If this is the original roof it has performed
very well. However, after 134 years it is time to
replace the slate shingles and metal flashings.
The addition constructed in 1989 of steel and
masonry construction complementing the
decorative masonry features and patterns of
the historic house. Interior finishes are
consistent of that time period and appear to be
in fair to good condition. There are some
deficiencies to be repaired.
The house and addition appear to be
structurally sound. However, there are some
relatively minor deficiencies to be repaired.
The mechanical and electrical systems and
equipment are functioning. However, some of
the equipment and fixtures have reached their
expected service life and will need to be
replaced.
Fire and life safety issues should be considered
the highest priority with immediate attention to
clearing exit paths, corridors, and stair wells and
remove all wedges in fire rated doors. This work
should be followed immediately with upgrading
deficiencies in fire separations and rated doors.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
WSP Canada Inc. (WSP) was retained by the Town of Tillsonburg to complete a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) and
Capital Planning study for the Lake Lisgar Water Park and Summer Place buildings located at 8 Ross Street in Tillsonburg,
Ontario.
The Lake Lisgar Water Park building is a single storey masonry and wood framed structure with a reception / office area
in the central portion and change rooms on the north and south sections. There is a basement area below the central
portion of the building. We understand that the original building was constructed in the 1940’s and is therefore
approximately seventy-seven (77) years old. A canteen was later added on the north side of the building at some time in
the early 2000’s and is therefore approximately seventeen (17) years old.
The Summer Place building is also a single storey structure with a basement. The south section of the building is a
masonry and wood framed structure while the north and west sections are masonry and steel joist structures. The
basement area on the east side extends beyond the building footprint and is constructed of reinforced concrete walls and
roof slab. The original building was most likely constructed at the same time as the adjacent Lake Lisgar Water Park
building and is therefore approximately seventy-seven (77) years old. The age of the basement extension is unknown.
This assessment was completed to review the current condition of the various building systems and an overview of the
buildings and potential future capital costs. It should be noted that this investigation was based on a visual inspection
only. No destructive testing was completed at this time.
The visual site reviews of the building envelope, structural, accessibility and environmental components were performed

Clock Tower
Building Condition Assessment Report
a+LiNK Project No. 1836, 03 May 2019 FINAL 3|19
Executive Summary
The Rotary Clock Tower located at the corner of
Broadway and Bridge Street in Tillsonburg,
Ontario is located in the downtown. The clock
was a project of the Tillsonburg Rotary Club.
The clock was originally on the Old Post Office
and the bell came from the original Town Hall.
Windows are provided on four (4) sides of the
structure and show the inner workings of the
clock mechanism.
It was officially presented to the Town of
Tillsonburg on July 1st, 1994 as part of Heritage
Square in the downtown. The brick and block
structure housing the clock is not a designated
structure and is not deemed historically
designated under Part 1V, of the Ontario
Heritage Act. However, the elements housed
inside the structure are historically significant to
the Town of Tillsonburg and thus the structure
requires maintenance for the protection of
these elements.
Generally, the structure appears to be in sound
condition and appears to be reasonably
maintained. However, there are areas of the
structure that are of concern. The original
drawings prepared by C.A. Ventin Architect,
Simcoe, Ontario, indicate a composite wall
structure of 10” concrete masonry units (CMU)
on the interior and 4” masonry brick on the
exterior tied together with ladder reinforcing.
This composition was confirmed on site during
the site visit. This is the main concern due to
the fact that the face brick, particularly on the
southwest elevation, shows considerable
spalling. Since the face brick is part of the
structural system, it plays an important part of
supporting the structure, particularly in a wind
load situation. This is further complicated by
the intertwining of steel reinforcing angles at
corners where windows are located in the plan.
The repair and restoration process is further
discussed in detail in this document. The
protection of the clock and its mechanism is of
the greatest concern particularly with the
selected demolition of masonry units.
The remaining areas of the structure are in
good condition except for windows at the sill
level which have been weeping water and
showing signs of rot.
In closing, it is recommended that alternative
approaches be investigated to secure the
structure and protect the historical elements,
other than replacement of the masonry brick.

Executive Summary
The Station Arts Centre is an
amalgamation of two historic railway stations,
the Great Western Railway Station (GWR) circa
1879 on the eastern end is original to the site
and the west building Tillsonburg Lake Erie
Pacific Railway Station (TLEPR) circa 1896 was
relocated to this site in the mid 1990’s. The
interconnecting main gallery addition was
constructed in 1995. Both stations have been
historically designated under Part 1V, of the
Ontario Heritage Act and locally considered a
heritage structure. It is recommended that
procedures be established to maintain the
heritage fabric now and in the future.
Generally, the building is in sound condition and
appear to be reasonably maintained. However,
there were some observed structural and
maintenance deficiencies that will require
immediate repairs.
The most problematic issue of the facility is in
regards to the fire and life safety building code
infractions of the basement. As previously
reported there are no fire separations and no
proper exits from the basement. The basement
has been determined to be unfit for occupancy
and has been closed to public use. Significant
repairs will be required to upgrade the
basement before occupancy can be permitted.
See separate fire and life safety report and cost
analysis.
Further, and unfortunately, the usual long term
maintenance items on this building are coming
due for replacement at the same time. The
roofing, all furnaces, and water heater
equipment have reached their life expectancy
and replacement should be expected for each in
the near future.
In closing, it is recommended that a
professional architect be retained to assist in
preparing a program of repairs to bring the
building to a usable condition.

Summary of Roof Conditions:
Overall, the facility's roof as a whole is in fair condition for its age, but simple preventative and maintenance repairs are required in order to keep the
insulating layers dry for re-use. The type of roof employed throughout the facility is a 4 ply asphalt BUR with fibreglass membrane flashings, surfaced with hot asphalt and pea gravel. This type of roof yields a 20 year life expectancy if installed correctly and properly maintained.

Subject: Project Management for Recreation, Culture and Parks Capital Projects
Report Number: 19-64
Author: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks
Meeting Type: Council Budget Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Recommendation:
THAT Report RCP 19-64 - Project Management for Recreation, Culture and Parks
Capital Projects is received for information;
AND THAT a three-year contract position funded as part of the annual capital
budget is established in the RCP department to deliver capital project
management for RCP-related projects.
Background:
As the Asset Management Plan is implemented there is an increasing volume and value
of capital projects related to the Town’s facilities and parks. In order to keep up with the
increased workload, SLT is proposing adding project management resources to the
Recreation, Culture & Parks team. To accomplish this, the 2020 draft Capital Budget
includes an allocation for securing project management support to deliver the RCP
capital program. The calculation of this allocation is based on 5% of the value of the
project budget. This calculation is not applied to contributions to reserves.
Discussion:
Over the past ten years, there has been a significant increase in the number and value
of annual capital projects within the RCP Department. In 2009, the RCP capital
program consisted of three (3) projects with a combined value of $264,499. In 2019,
the planned capital program consisted of forty (40) projects with a combined value of
Page 106 of 135
RCP 19-64 Page 2 of 5
$4,870,500. For 2020, the current draft budget includes over $3million in RCP capital
work, with the potential of adding another $3.5million if the infrastructure grant is
successful. The growth of this workload is largely a result of current and past Council
decisions to re-invest in the asset management of corporate facilities and recreation
infrastructure.
The current staff resources at the Director and Manager level within the Department
cannot keep up with the workload associated with the design, procurement,
implementation and commissioning required for this number of projects as well as all of
the other workload associated with those roles. With the support of SLT, RCP staff is
requesting Council’s approval to secure additional project management resources, and
offer several options for consideration:
Option A: Contract project management position
The option recommended by staff is to implement a three-year contract position to
execute capital project management/coordination for RCP-related projects. The
position would report to the Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks. A multi-year
contract is recommended to increase the attractiveness of the position and the
likelihood of an individual serving the entire contract. The cost of this position for a full
twelve months at 2020 rates is estimated at $108,000. This option seeks an
appropriate balance between the risk of staff turn-over and the cost to the Town. This is
an increase of one full FTE in the staff complement for the term of the contract.
Option B: Permanent project management position
Another option would be to implement a permanent position to execute capital project
management/coordination for RCP-related projects. The position would report to the
Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks. The cost of this position for a full twelve months
at 2020 rates is estimated at $130,000 and would be an increase of one FTE in the staff
complement. While the job would be offered on a permanent basis, there would be no
contract term in place and so if there was a change in direction the position could be
eliminated almost immediately without having a three-year commitment in place at a
severance cost of one week for each year of service.
Option 3: External consultant project management
If Council prefers not to increase the staff complement, project management services
can be secured on a project by project basis from external consultants. Not all projects
would require this support, but the cost estimates range from 7.5% - 20% of the value of
the project, depending on how complex a project it is. While this approach could be
effective for a small number of very large projects, the number and variety of projects
involved on an annual basis as well as the potential cost makes this approach less than
optimal. There is a lot of supervision and contract management required with this
option, which may not accomplish the objective of reducing the workload of the RCP
leadership team to a manageable level.
Page 107 of 135
RCP 19-64 Page 3 of 5
Summary:
Additional resources are required to manage the capital project volume and workload
related to corporate facilities and the parks system. The recommended option of
implementing a three-year contract position for project management funded as part of
the capital asset management budget will deliver on the project requirement while giving
the Town an opportunity to evaluate the value of this approach for the longer term. With
a contract position there is the risk of losing momentum and productivity due to staff
turn-over. On balance, the reduced cost of a contract position versus a full-time position,
and the simpler implementation and fixed cost of an in-house versus external consultant
approach lead staff to recommend Option A.
Consultation:
The Manager of Human Resources provided the estimated costs for the contract and
full-time position options. Industry associations were consulted for the rates used by
external consultants.
Financial Impact/Funding Source:
The 2020 draft budget includes $148,900 to fund project management on projects with
a budget value of $3,044,200, and there is the potential for that value to double if the
infrastructure grant application is successful. (The application included a component to
fund the project management). The calculation of this allocation is based on 5% of the
value of each project budget as a simple and transparent method that is in line with
industry costs while achieving an amount adequate to the task. This calculation is not
applied to contributions to reserves. The annual allocation will fluctuate from year-to-
year depending on the value of approved projects, so in a year when the allocation is
higher than needed the differential would be contributed to a reserve to support years
when the allocation is not as high. This reserve would be monitored on a yearly basis to
ensure it did not accumulate more than is reasonable.
If Council approves the budget, the position could be filled by the end of April 2020, so
the in-year cost would be an estimated $72,000 for a contract position and $86,667 for a
full-time position. The residual allocation would be contributed to the asset
management reserve for project management in future years.

Subject: Pre-Budget Approval for a Replacement Waterslide at Lake Lisgar Waterpark
Report Number: RCP 19-66
Author: Rick Cox, Director of Recreation, Culture & Parks
Meeting Type: Council Budget Meeting
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Recommendation:
THAT Report RCP 19-66 – Pre-Budget Approval for a Replacement Waterslide at Lake
Lisgar Waterpark is received;
AND THAT Council authorizes a sole-source procurement of a replacement waterslide
from ProSlide Technology Inc. (Ottawa);
AND THAT Council gives pre-budget approval to purchase the supply and installation of
a replacement waterslide and tower from ProSlide Technology Inc. (Ottawa) for their
quoted cost of $327,900 plus applicable taxes so that the installation can be completed
in time for the 2020 summer season.
Background:
At their Budget meeting on November 21, 2019, Council directed staff to review the
draft budget and revise it so that the funding for a replacement waterslide at the Lake
Lisgar Waterpark was not dependent on fundraising. The intent of Council was
understood to be the desire to implement the waterslide replacement in time for the
2020 summer season, if possible.
After the November 21 meeting, staff contacted the manufacturer of the existing
waterslide (ProSlide Technology Inc.) to obtain updated costing, to find out about
potential installation timelines, and to review the possibility of replacing the tower &
stairs independently of the slide flume. Updated information related to this inquiry was
received by the Town on December 2, 2019 and is attached to this report. Additional
information has been requested and will be provided as appropriate when it becomes
available.
Discussion:
At the November 21 Budget meeting, Council gave clear direction of their collective
intent to fund the replacement of the waterslide at the Lake Lisgar Waterpark, preferably
in time for the 2020 summer season. The only way to accomplish this under the Town’s
Procurement Policy is to authorize sole-source procurement from the manufacturer of
the existing slide as they have all of the design requirements on file from the original
Page 111 of 135
RCP 19-66 Page 2 of 5
installation, and to provide pre-budget approval for the project to proceed at the Budget
Meeting on December 10, 2019.
Council has the option of pursuing a competitive procurement process. If this is the
preferred direction there will need to be a specification developed and a tender issued,
responded to and awarded. The time taken by this process will mean that any
installation could not be completed prior to the 2020 summer season. However, taking
that time will allow the specification to be developed in consultation with community
partners who may wish to contribute to the costs, and also to consider different
configurations. It will also secure market pricing for the project, which may result in a
lower cost to the Town.
The existing slide flume has a manufacturer’s expected lifetime of 25 years, which will
be reached in 2020. The flume has not had any maintenance on it since the summer
2017, and at that point it required some maintenance to be approved for use in 2018.
The option of replacing the tower and stairs in 2020 and replacing the flume in a future
year may still be viable, and the information from ProSlide does include pricing for a
phased approach to replacing the waterslide. The existing slide has reached its
expected life and will require maintenance to bring it into useable condition at a cost yet
to be ascertained. This does not seem to be a good investment so to obtain the best
value and to ensure the safety of slide users staff recommends that the slide and tower
are replaced at the same time.
ProSlide has given a price for like-for-like replacement of the steel tower with hot-dipped
galvanized stairs at $314,900. Staff recommends that the Town upgrade to fiberglass
stair elements at an additional cost of $13,000. The up-front additional cost will save
much more than that over the life of the tower in the cumulative cost of annual
maintenance on steel stair elements. The total cost of the upgraded tower and slide
with fiberglass stair elements as quoted by ProSlide is $327,900 plus taxes.
Council may consider augmenting the slide tower to be ready to accommodate a
second flume in the future. This concept has been raised by the Kinsmen Club in their
response to Council’s request for feedback about the future of the LLWP. The cost of
this augmentation is $59,400, and it would have to be incorporated into the tower design
right from the beginning, rather than be added later. If Council does want to include this
augmentation, the total cost of the replacement slide flume and tower increases to
$387,300. The cost of the second, additional slide flume has yet to be determined.
Presumably it would be appropriate that Council approach the Kinsmen Club to
contribute the incremental cost of the tower augmentation and the second flume.
Those costs will not be the only ones related to a second slide as there has not been
any analysis regarding whether installing a second flume would require changes to the
receiving pool. If changes are needed any costs related to those changes and any
additional pumping and piping capacity needed to support two slides have not been
determined yet. Staff recommends that the Kinsmen be approached with a different
concept potentially incorporating multiple smaller slides at the beach end of the
Page 112 of 135
RCP 19-66 Page 3 of 5
waterpark, rather than incorporating the capacity for a second large waterslide into the
replacement tower construction.
The costs provided in the ProSlide quote do not include removing and disposing of the
existing slide. In 2018, when costs were investigated to remove the slide without
replacing it, it was estimated at a $50,000-$65,000 stand-alone cost. By incorporating it
into the replacement scope, there are considerable savings in mobilization cost,
however ProSlide has not given that quote yet.
Consultation:
Staff has consulted with ProSlide Technology Inc. to update the pricing and design
information that was on file from 1995 and 2018.
Financial Impact/Funding Source:
The current draft budget for 2020 includes an allocation of $300,000 to replace the
waterslide and tower, plus $15,000 for project management so an additional $27,900 is
required to replace the slide and tower. In addition to that, the Town needs to be
prepared for the costs to remove and dispose of the existing slide and any other
contingency that arises related to the pumps, piping and deck.
Staff recommends that the additional costs for this project over the current $300,000
budget are applied against Project X38 N – PKS – FCA Scheduled Work @ various
locations. This project carries a $100,000 allocation which should be enough to support
the additional $27,900, the demolition/removal, and a contingency. Any remaining
funds in this budget would be used to address the FCA priorities in Parks. As both the
Lions and the Kinsmen have indicated their willingness to support reinvestment in the
waterpark, to reduce the impact on this work staff recommends approaching those
organizations for a contribution towards replacing the waterslide.

Background:
Staff has presented the 2020 Capital Budget for Council’s consideration. Included in
the 2020 Budget are projects that require immediate action. These include Asphalt,
Oxford Rehab, Rolling Meadows Reconstruct, Rouse St. Sanitary and Storm,
Annandale Lighting Lane ropes and carts, and Memorial Park Signage.

Discussion:
One advantage of this early approval is that the release of projects allows for better
planning and better pricing. The extra two months allows staff, user groups and
contractors to prepare for the impact of these projects.
The Town’s experience with early booking of the Asphalt program is that the Town is
able to secure a contractor and attract better pricing. Similar to this, the road
reconstruction projects also attract more competitive pricing. The new church on Rouse
St. requires connection to the sewer systems as soon as possible. The lighting at
Annandale, and the signage at Memorial Park need to be ready in the spring to service
taxpayers and others in the summer season. The lane ropes and carts are currently
failing and from a safety perspective need replacing as soon as possible.
The asphalt program is funded through the Federal Gas Tax Grant and the other road
projects are funded from the grants, reserves and a small tax component within the
Capital Budget.
The recreation projects are funded with a combination of grants, reserves and a small
taxation component.
The parking lots for Memorial Park and the OPP station were approved in 2019 and the
tender will be re-issued in early 2020 to attempt to more competitive pricing.

3 - SMT final 2020
Description
Partial depth resurfacing (top layer) or Full-depth rehabilitation (top & bottom layers) with spot curb and gutter
repairs would be completed on various streets within Town.
Justification
During a road’s lifecycle, there are opportunities for work activity to extend the life of the roadway that
generally coincides with its condition. Utilizing the two most economical pavement management strategies
outlined in the Towns Asset Management Plan it has been determined that in order to maintain the current road
network condition that rehabilitation investment varies between 800,000 to 1,100,000 over the next ten years
(excluding road renewal through reconstruction activities). Using these strategies, and depending on individual
road conditions, the most economical annual road resurfacing program is developed within the allocated
budget.

X92 Rolling Meadows Reconstruction Phase 1 of 2 (Tanager & Falcon)
Public Works
3 - SMT final 2020
Description
The Rolling Meadows Reconstruction Phase 1 of 2 consists of Falcon Dr. and both sections of Tanager Dr.
from Falcon Dr. to Owl Dr. The project involves the complete reconstruction of the pavement structure
including new barrier curb and gutter, sidewalks, and the installation of new watermain and sanitary sewer
along Flacon Dr. and along the east section of Tanager from Falcon Dr. to Owl Dr. The west section of
Tanager Dr. from Falcon Dr. to Owl Dr. involves full corridor urbanization that will benefit both current residents
and provide services to vacant lots in the area.
Justification
The replacement and renewal of core infrastructure for this project would alleviate the ongoing road
maintenance issues to ensure compliance with MMS due to the series of watermain breaks in the area, provide
an opportunity to upgrade the area to current municipal design standards as well as an opportunity to partner
with the County and leverage funding efficiencies of completing road reconstruction.

X91 Rouse St. Sanitary Installation
Public Works
3 - SMT final 2020
Description
The installation of a gravity sanitary sewer along Rouse St. consists of installing new gravity sanitary sewer
from the pumping station on Rouse Street westerly under Vienna Rd. to Young Street. The project also
involves replacement of the storm sewer culvert at the intersection of Vienna Rd. and Rouse St. along with full
reconstruction of the pavement structure.
Justification
The need for this project arose during the review of adjacent site plan application requiring the need for
sanitary servicing. As a result the wastewater project component has already been included in the Oxford
County 2020 Draft Budget providing the opportunity for the Town to leverage efficiencies of completing storm
sewer culvert replacement and road reconstruction. The new gravity sanitary sewer will also provide an
outlet for future development in the Rouse St. / Young St. area.
