REPORT HIGHLIGHTS  A request has been received to extend draft plan approval for the proposed residential subdivision development of 142 lots for single detached dwellings, 17 lots for semi-detached dwellings, 1 local commercial block, 3 greenway blocks, 3 walkway blocks, and 1 parkland block, in the Town of Tillsonburg.  The approved draft plan was originally approved in 2008, and was extended in 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2018 and is scheduled to lapse on October 22, 2020.  Planning staff recommend support of a six month extension to grant additional time to commence work to satisfy the conditions of draft plan approval and register the draft plan of subdivision. DISCUSSION Background OWNER: Lindprop Corporation 55 Blue Willow Drive, Woodbridge ON L4L 9E8 LOCATION: The subject lands are described as Lots 4 & 5, Concession 10 (Dereham) and are located on the north side of North Street East, between Falcon Drive and the CPR Right-of-Way in the Town of Tillsonburg. COUNTY OF OXFORD OFFICIAL PLAN: Schedule “T-1” Schedule “T-2” Town of Tillsonburg Land Use Plan Town of Tillsonburg Residential Density Plan Residential & Open Space Low Density Residential Page 40 of 457 Report No: CP 2020-256 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: September 28, 2020 Page 2 of 4 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW NO.3295: Existing Zoning: Future Development Zone (FD) PROPOSAL: A request for extension to draft plan approval for the above noted subdivision has been received by the Town of Tillsonburg and the County of Oxford. The applicant has requested a 2 year extension to the draft plan until October 2022. The Town of Tillsonburg and the County of Oxford granted draft plan approval for a residential plan of subdivision on the subject property in October 2008. The draft plan proposed development within the southwest area of the subject property, and includes 142 single detached dwelling lots, 17 semi-detached dwelling lots (34 units), 1 local commercial block, 3 greenway blocks, 3 walkway blocks, and 1 parkland block. No part of this approved draft plan of subdivision has been registered to date. The plan received a two year extension in 2011, three year extension in 2013, two year extensions in 2016 & 2018, and draft plan approval will lapse on October 22, 2020. No engineering plans or designs have been submitted to date, and only one condition of draft plan approval has been satisfied. The zoning of the lands also has not been finalized since the original draft approval in 2008. Since the last extension granted in 2018, the County has completed the road reconstruction of North Street East and municipal services have been extended to the property. The required sewage pumping station has been fully constructed and was commissioned in fall 2019. The applicant applied for consent in 2018, under file B18-34-7, to sever a portion of the draft approved plan of subdivision while retaining the primary access street from North Street and some 30 lots which are included in the draft plan of subdivision. Oxford County Land Division denied the application at their meeting in December 2018, and the applicant appealed the decision to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approved a proposed settlement between the applicant, Town of Tillsonburg, and County of Oxford in a decision dated August 15, 2019, and as part of the decision, the applicant had 1 year to fulfill the conditions or the consent will lapse. Regulations issued during the COVID 19 emergency extended the lapsing date for the consent an additional 97 days, to November 20, 2020. Plate 1, Location Map, shows the location of the subject lands, with an overlay of the draft approved plan of subdivision. Plate 2, Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision, shows the proposed lot and road configuration of the draft plan approved subdivision. AGENCY CIRCULATION: This application was circulated to a number of agencies considered to have an interest in the application: Page 41 of 457 Report No: CP 2020-256 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: September 28, 2020 Page 3 of 4 Oxford County Public Works Department provided the following comment: Road reconstruction phases on North Street have now been completed; and the required sewage pumping station has been constructed and fully commissioned. At this time, all servicing constraints to the subject lands will have been addressed by the County. The applicant will be responsible for connection and construction costs as part of the North Street Reconstruction and servicing project. The Tillsonburg Building Services Department has commented that they are supportive of the 6 month extension, with the option for a future extension if the applicant is working towards registration. If no further activity occurs then it is recommended that the draft plan lapse. The Town Development Commissioner has indicated that they are supportive of a one year extension. Planning Analysis The applicant has requested to extend draft plan approval of the above noted subdivision for an additional two (2) year period. The applicant’s request indicates that the reason for the request is to allow sufficient time for services to be fully available to the site. Staff are recommending that a six (6) month extension be granted, as the North Street road reconstruction was completed in 2017 and the sanitary pumping station was completed and commissioned by the end of 2019. Despite the applicant’s assertion that additional time is required for services to be available, the required servicing extensions have been completed and there are no servicing impediments to the development of the site. A draft plan of subdivision to the south that was draft approved in December of 2019 is currently being serviced and is expected to be registered imminently. In light of the foregoing, Planning Staff are supportive of a six (6) month extension of the draft approved plan of subdivision as it will allow the applicant additional time to finalize the pending consent application and complete the detailed engineering design and clear the outstanding conditions of draft plan approval and service the subject property and work towards registration. This will also provide the applicant an opportunity to finalize the zoning of the draft plan of subdivision. Staff note that only one condition of draft approval has been cleared since the subdivision was draft approved in 2008. Provided the applicant works toward registering the draft plan of subdivision, a subsequent extension could be considered. A resolution of Town Council, is required in order to grant an extension of the approval period. Page 42 of 457 Report No: CP 2020-256 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: September 28, 2020 Page 4 of 4 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg advise Oxford County that the Town supports an extension of draft approval for a plan of subdivision submitted by Lindprop Corp., for lands described as Lots 4 & 5, Concession 10 (Dereham), Town of Tillsonburg, to April 22, 2021, to grant additional time to satisfy the conditions of draft plan approval and register the draft plan of subdivision.

That County Council receive Report No. PW 2020-37 entitled “Proposed North Oxford Intercommunity Bus Transit – Financial Plan and Public Consultation Findings”, including approvals in principle from Councils of the Townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra to provide multi-year financial commitments to support intercommunity bus transit to service the northern portion of Oxford County as described herein; 2.And further, that County Council, in collaboration with the Townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra, support the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an intercommunity bus transit contract service for north Oxford; 3.And further, that County Council authorize their “approval-in-principle” to provide multi-year financial commitments to support intercommunity bus transit to service the northern portion of Oxford County, providing both intra-County and inter- regional connections; 4.And further, that Report No. PW 2020-37 be circulated to all Area Municipalities for information. REPORT HIGHLIGHTS The purpose of this report is seek Oxford County Council support for the release of a RFP for an intercommunity bus transit contract service in north Oxford, in collaboration and partnership with the Township of Blandford-Blenheim, the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock and the Township of Zorra, and seek “approval-in-principle” for multi-year financial commitments to support the proposed service. Staff have received considerable feedback from local residents, employers, economic development and employment agencies and Area Municipalities during the public consultation and engagement campaign (July 22 to September 2, 2020) which further supports and validates the proposed service need as per the key findings noted below: Page 47 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 2 of 12 o Almost half of the employers identified transportation as one of their most important factors for attracting and retaining employees and almost 40% of the employers responded that the proposed service would help connect their employees to their workforce. o Majority of residents would use the service both within and outside of Oxford County for work, medical/healthcare appointments, leisure purposes or to access other modes of transportation, with Woodstock, Ingersoll, Stratford, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, and London being the main trip destinations. o Over 70% of residents surveyed would use active transportation for first and last mile connections to the proposed intercommunity bus stops. o Approximately 60% of the public were favorable of a proposed tax levy and fare fees to help finance the transit system.  This intercommunity bus transit service is proposed to be annually financed by Ontario Gas Tax Transit funding (subsidy of over 50%), municipal contributions (tax levy) and ridership fare revenue in a manner which is both fiscally responsible and sustainable. Implementation Points The overall implementation work plan was previously referenced in Oxford County Council Report No. PW 2020-29 (amended to remove recommendation no. 3). As per the August 5, 2020 Council resolutions shown in Attachment 1, the Township of Blandford-Blenheim, the Township of East Zorra-Tavistock and the Township of Zorra have all passed “approvals-in-principle” for multi-year financial commitments, subject to additional information, to help finance the proposed service and are all in support of the release of the RFP for the provision of the intercommunity transit service for north Oxford. Further, the intercommunity bus transit partnership proposal presentations that formed the delegation to the above noted Area Municipality Councils was electronically shared with all County Councillors on August 10, 2020 for reference information. Should Oxford County Council approve the recommendations in this report, staff will work with the Township of Zorra to issue a RFP for the provision of a contracted intercommunity transit service for North Oxford on behalf of the collaborative partnership. Following review and evaluation of the RFP bid submissions, staff will report back to the respective Councils with final financial cost details and a recommended contract award for a third-party bus carrier, all of which is subject to respective Council approvals. The final multi-year financial municipal contributions will be further refined at that time and final Council authorizations will be sought for the respective financial commitments based on the same. The partner Council endorsements of the final multi-year financial commitments are required in order to subsequently become eligible for provincial gas tax transit funding. Following the potential contract award on October 14, 2020, the proposed in-service date for the bus carrier transit service is April 2021 which will permit the necessary time for bus procurement; service plan development and route validation; bus route sign installation; and community marketing / branding involving ongoing liaise with Woodstock Community Employment Services, Rural Oxford Economic Development Corporation, employers, area and Page 48 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 3 of 12 neighbouring municipality transit providers, academic institutions, community members and other public/private transportation providers. Financial Impact The intercommunity bus transit service is proposed to be annually financed by Ontario Gas Tax Transit funding (subsidy of approximately 50%), municipal contributions (tax levy) and ridership fare revenue in a manner which is both fiscally responsible and sustainable. With the proposed partnership, the respective populations of the Township of Blandford- Blenheim, Township of East Zorra-Tavistock and Township of Zorra can be combined into a cumulative transit service population (based on the proposed transit service coverage area). The amount of eligible provincial Gas Tax transit funding is significantly driven by the population serviced by intercommunity transit while ridership fare revenue only nominally adds to additional funding under the provincial Gas Tax funding criteria. Further, to become eligible to receive dedicated Gas Tax funds, municipal partners must financially contribute towards its transit system. Based on the provincial funding criteria, the Gas Tax program provides for up to 75% reimbursement to municipalities for every dollar spent (operating and capital) on transit (MOS = municipality’s own spending), up to an “eligibility cap”. As shown in Table 1, the proposed financial model would be based on a Gas Tax funding subsidy which offsets approximately 50% of the transit system operating costs on an annual basis. In this regard, the proposal suggests the County fund 25% of the annual operating costs and capital costs, while the three Area Municipal partners propose to fund the remaining 75% of the annual operating costs (25% share each). The financial model illustrated in Table 1, proposes to carryforward approved 2020 funds earmarked for SouthwestLynx Transportation initiatives to be used for 2021 operating and capital contribution costs of the north Oxford Intercommunity Bus Transit program, so there will be no impact on the County-wide tax levy in 2021 accordingly. Using this approach, the municipal partnership can receive 75% reimbursement for its capital procurement of the first intercommunity bus through the Gas Tax transit program. Table 1 presents a financial model for the proposed intercommunity bus transit system to be considered in the RFP which would be operated three days per week initially in 2021 (April to December) and then expanded to a five day per week service in 2022. The model includes a reserve funded by annual surpluses to cover lifecycle costs including vehicle replacement every six years. The revenues and reserve contributions will be reviewed and adjusted on the basis of the RFP submissions for further consideration of the partnering Municipalities and Oxford County.

A County that Thinks Ahead and Wisely Shapes the Future – Influence federal and provincial policy with implications for the County by: - Advocating for fairness for rural and small urban communities - Advocating for federal and provincial initiatives that are appropriate to our county Page 51 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 6 of 12 DISCUSSION Background The development of a public transportation system that addresses small urban-rural mobility and connectivity within Oxford County and across the Southwestern Ontario region is vital to our economic vitality and community wellbeing as noted in Report No. PW 2020-23 and PW 2020- 29 (as amended). Further, transportation connections are vital to quality of life and help to remove barriers that make it difficult for some Ontarians to reach jobs, participate in local community activities and access healthcare and specialized medical services, education and training, social services and programs, urban transit and intercity rail, air and bus services. As per the implementation work plan detailed in Oxford County Council Report No. PW 2020-29 (as amended), staff have assessed market demand, undertaken a qualitative review of opportunities and challenges, carried out a six week public consultation and engagement campaign and further examined service delivery options/routes pertaining to the proposed intercommunity bus transit service (north Oxford). At the July 8, 2020 Oxford County Council meeting, staff were directed to report back to Council with the findings of the six week public consultation and engagement campaign (July 22 to September 2, 2020) and details of the financial model that is proposed to fund the proposed intercommunity bus transit service. In consultation with several Area Municipalities, staff have also discussed the feasibility of applying a similar financial model with the Tillsonburg intercommunity bus transit system following the expiry (2023) of funding received through the province’s Community Transportation Grant Program, such that the Tillsonburg system could continue to sustainably operate after that time and extend bus carrier operating agreements accordingly. The long term integration of the Tillsonburg intercommunity bus transit system with the proposed north Oxford intercommunity bus transit system is envisioned by 2027, at which time the useful service life of each system’s buses would be reached and operating contracts could be suitably harmonized for additional efficiencies and potential cost savings. Inter-regional service connections would also be further integrated at that time with associated neighbouring municipality members of the Southwest Community Transportation Association in order to facilitate a consistent rider experience and service level. Comments Ridership The proposed north Oxford intercommunity bus transit system is envisioned to employ a 20 passenger “high-floor” transit bus which is fully accessible for disabled riders (AODA compliant). The bus can carry up to 20 fully abled riders with flexibility to accommodate up to 2 wheelchair riders in the rear of the vehicle (by converting 4 able rider spaces) as shown in Figure 1. The 20 passenger bus is the most common vehicle size employed by the majority of other municipal Page 52 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 7 of 12 intercommunity bus transit systems as it is most suitable to manage the anticipated ridership as well as the longer route distances (when compared to conventional transit bus). Figure 1 – Sample Configuration of Intercommunity Bus The qualitative market demand review and public consultation findings identified several types of riders who would use the intercommunity bus transit service as follows: • Aging residents – longer home stay before considering long term care; • Students – access to schools, employment, leisure purposes; • Millennials and seniors (deferring car ownership); • Businesses (access to broader employee pool) and low income workers (no other affordable means of travel); and • Persons using social assistance programs (Ontario Works and ODSP clients) who receive mandatory paid benefits for transportation services for medical or employment purposes. Bus ridership has been conservatively estimated in the financial model at four (in 2021) to eight (in 2025) rider trips per day (in addition to trips by employees and persons using social assistance), leaving considerable room for additional ridership to be realistically developed as the intercommunity transit service becomes more established over time. Public Consultation and Engagement Campaign The County undertook a six-week public consultation and engagement campaign for the proposed North Oxford intercommunity bus transit route as noted above. The purpose of this campaign was to promote and create awareness of the proposed service, while also gathering feedback from those who may use or benefit from the service, specifically: residents, businesses, area municipalities, and those travelling from outside of the County for work, business or personal reasons. Page 53 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 8 of 12 Through the various campaign tools, which are highlighted in the section below, efforts were made to ensure transparency with respect to proposed project funding and related tax levy impacts. Further information focused on providing details on the proposed service, such as the proposed route, fixed and flex stops, connections to other modes of transportation, schedule, fare structure and work plan timing. In addition to providing information on the proposed service, the overall intent of the campaign was to identify and confirm the need for a northern Oxford transit route, the frequency in which it would be used, the peak usage times, the main reasons for use, and willingness to pay and support a tax levy increase. Outreach Efforts With the assistance of the County’s Strategic Communications division, a number of outreach efforts, as summarized below, were undertaken as part of the campaign. The intent of these efforts was to promote the proposed service and garner as much feedback and input as possible from the various stakeholder groups. 1. A dedicated Speak up, Oxford! page was created on the County’s website which provided information on the proposed service, including: an overview of the proposal, the project timeline, links to project documents, and information on how individuals could provide feedback and have their say. Refer to Attachment 2 for a detailed overview of page content. 2. Over the course of the campaign, there were various newspaper ads, social media posts and paid promotion, County website updates, and media interviews. 3. Efforts were made to consult with various area municipality partners to both share information on the proposed service as well as solicit feedback and support. Delegation presentations were made to Townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra Council’s on August 5, 2020. These presentations were also electronically shared with all County Councillors on August 10, 2020 for reference information. 4. A virtual public meeting was held on August 12, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. and was available to all members of the public through a WebEx platform. A recording of the public meeting was posted to the Speak Up, Oxford! page, along with a copy of the meeting presentation and a summary of the question and discussion session. 5. An online survey, one for the general public and a separate one for the business community, was available through the Speak Up, Oxford! page from July 22 to August 21, 2020. 6. An interactive map was also available through the Speak Up, Oxford! page, which allowed members of the public to provide feedback on the proposed fixed stops as well as suggest other possible stop locations, along with a reason as to why they felt it would be a good location. 7. Direct written submissions to staff, via email, mail, or social media were also encouraged during the duration of the campaign. Page 54 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 9 of 12 8. The County collaborated with Rural Oxford Economic Development (ROEDC) and Woodstock Community Employment Services to target the business community. Information on the proposed transit service and the online survey went out to businesses through multiple newsletters, social media pushes and direct outreach in the form of calls. Key Findings and Trends The outreach methods above were successful in reaching a considerable audience. Much interest was generated on social media on both the County’s official sites and on other sites, including news media sites and community discussion groups. Through a total of three social media paid ads, there was a reach of 6,981 (people who saw the ad) with 560 engagements (people who shared, clicked the link for more information, or reacted etc.). With respect to organic social media reach (unpaid / regular traffic from page), there was a reach of 22,280 with 1,511 engagements. Comments received from the public through social media were generally supportive and enthusiastic in nature, identifying that the proposed service would be helpful to either themselves or their family. Residents commonly pointed out that this would be a valued service for seniors and teens / young adults who do not drive, providing them access to transportation for appointments, errands and leisure purposes. Numerous comments indicated that this is an idea past due (i.e. “It’s about time,” “Now we are getting into the 21st century,” etc.). Other noteworthy comments were that the proposed schedule should align with VIA service and that there should be a strong level of service for it to succeed. County staff also received some comments directly, most of which were in the form of a question, often relating to the proposed timing of service, fare structure, fixed stop locations and possible tax levy increases. On the business side, through ROEDC, three Rural Oxford newsletters were sent out to 500 businesses. Multiple social media pushes led to 50 post shares with a 6,000+ reach and direct calls were made to 75 businesses and 5 community partners. Through social media, ROEDC also shared the Public Meeting announcement as well as the recording of the public meeting. Feedback and comments received through the direct calls to the business community were generally positive and the majority of employers expressed their support for the initiative. While there were some employers who were unsure as to whether the service would directly benefit their business or not, these employers still felt there was value from a community perspective. A number of employers expressed that the proposed service would be beneficial in retaining and connecting employees and visitors to their business, particularly the younger and older population that don’t own / have access to a car. One employer indicated that there is currently a barrier to attracting and retaining good employees from Woodstock. Other noteworthy comments indicated an interest for a fixed stop in Bright and alteration of the route to extend further past Embro and across County Road 17 into Woodstock and that there would need to be a variety of service times in order for the service to work. In terms of the public meeting, while there was limited live participation at the time the meeting was held on August 12th, the recording of the meeting, which was subsequently posted to the Page 55 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 10 of 12 Speak Up, Oxford! page, has since been viewed many times, suggesting that several people opted to watch the meeting at a time of their convenience, as opposed to participating live. Through the interactive map which was live on the Speak up, Oxford! page, some comments were received on the proposed fixed and flex stops and two additional stop locations were suggested. These locations and associated comments are summarised in Attachment 3. There were 167 responses to the general public survey and 61 responses to the business community survey. Some of the key findings and trends are summarized below and a full report of the survey questions and results are included as Attachment 4 for the general public survey and Attachment 5 for the business community survey. General Public Survey There was a good geographical spread of survey responses, with more than half of the responses (63 %) coming from the northern portion of the County (Townships of Blandford- Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra) and the remaining coming from the southern portion of the County, less a few responses from outside of the County. The survey was mostly completed by people between the ages of 25-44 and 45-64. Some key findings from the responses are as follows: • The service would be used mostly for leisure purposes, to connect to another mode of transportation, or for other reasons. • Woodstock was listed as the number one location that people would use the service to travel to or from, with London, Stratford, Ingersoll and Kitchener-Waterloo being some of the other major departure or destination points. • More than 65% of the responses indicated that they would be willing to pay for the service, ranging from $8 to $12. • Peak usage time would be in the morning between 5 am and 11 am (with the most being between 7 am and 9 am) and in the afternoon / evening between 2 pm and 6 pm (with the most being between 4 pm and 6 pm). • Approximately 60% of those who responded indicated that they would be willing to accept some form of an increase to their municipal property tax base. • Over 70% of residents surveyed would use active transportation for first and last mile connections to the proposed intercommunity bus stops. Business Community Survey Similar to the general public survey, there was a good geographical spread of survey responses from the business community, with more than half of the responses coming from the northern portion of the County (Townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra), and the balance coming from the remaining portion of the County, including 13 employers in Woodstock. The employers who responded represented a wide range of industries, with most Page 56 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 11 of 12 being from the: (1) agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, (2) retail trade, (3) manufacturing, (4) professional, scientific and technical services and (5) accommodation and food services industries. Some key findings from the responses are as follows: • Attracting and retaining workforce is a priority or concern for many companies and half of the employers that responded indicated that transportation is one of their most important factors for attracting and retaining employees. • Woodstock was identified as the number one location that employees travel from, with Ingersoll, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, Tavistock, Stratford, and London being some of the other main locations. • For almost 40% of the employers that responded, the proposed service would help connect their employees to their workforce (17% were unsure). • The majority of employee shift start times are between 6 am and 11 am, with 8 am being the most common. The majority of employee shift end times are between 2 pm and 8 pm, with 5 pm being the most common. • Some employers would be willing to subsidize their employees public transit costs to some extent, although a large number of employers responded that they were unsure. • While some employers expressed that they didn’t feel this was a good use of taxpayers money or that this service likely wouldn’t benefit their employees, many of the comments received were positive and supportive of this initiative. Tillsonburg Transit Advisory Committee The intercommunity bus transit service proposal was also considered and discussed by the Tillsonburg Transit Advisory Committee on September 1, 2020. Following review, the Transit Advisory Committee passed the following resolution: Moved by: Councillor Luciani Seconded by: Kathryn Leatherland “THAT the Tillsonburg Transit Advisory Committee supports the decision to expand the Oxford County Transit Proposal to northern Oxford County.” Disposition: Carried Overall, the feedback from local residents, employers, economic development, employment agencies and Area Municipalities during the public consultation and engagement campaign serves to further support and validate the need for this proposed service. Page 57 of 457 Report No: PW 2020-37 PUBLIC WORKS Council Date: September 9, 2020 Page 12 of 12 Conclusions The proposed intercommunity bus transit service will provide integrated intra-County and inter- regional transportation connections which further support and enhance resident access to employment, education, social services and shopping, recreation and entertainment activities, etc. in a manner which is consistent with County Council’s endorsements of the “SouthwestLynx” plan, Oxford County’s Strategic Plan, Future Oxford Community Sustainability Plan as well as the province’s “Connecting Southwest Ontario” draft Transportation Plan. Staff support the release of a bus transit carrier RFP for this intercommunity service and believe it to be a low risk, high reward sustainable initiative. The findings from the public consultation and engagement campaign will be used to help further refine the conceptual intercommunity bus route and stops to be considered in the RFP. Through this collaborative municipal partnership, the proposed financial model for the intercommunity bus transit service can be delivered in a fiscally responsible and sustainable manner.

Watch the recorded meeting | Download the agenda Proposed intercommunity bus service for northern Oxford County Consistent with Oxford County’s SouthwestLynx vision, the Government of Ontario's Connecting the Southwest strategy looks to build a safe and reliable transportation system that: connects smaller communities to larger centres; improves access to jobs and critical services; and supports an open and competitive business environment. » Report No. PW 2020-37 Attachment No. 2 Page 62 of 457 Although the south part of Oxford County will benefit from intercommunity bus transit grant programs that are already underway for this initiative, northern Oxford remains with limited access to transportation connections and services both within and outside of Oxford County. By leveraging Ontario’s Gas Tax Transit funding, the townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra have an opportunity to work together with Oxford County to develop a new intercommunity bus transit service. This new service, if approved, is proposed to start operating in April 2021. Our timeline for this project allows the partners to meet timelines for provincial funding and to implement a bus carrier service contract. Why? Transportation connections are critical to the vitality of small urban/rural Southwestern Ontario. Public transportation connects communities to each other and people to their work, family, medical services, education, and social and recreation activities. In Oxford County, transportation options that serve more people can also help address some of the unfilled jobs that exist in our community. Access to transportation and the ability to travel around the County are also consistently identified as an area of concern to Oxford County residents, as noted in the Future Oxford Community Sustainability Plan (2015), Community Wellbeing Survey ( 2016), Zero Poverty Plan (2018) and soon-to-be-released Workforce Readiness Plan (2020). The proposal for intercommunity bus service in northern Oxford County presents a long-term sustainable transportation option that can impact quality of life for many residents. Where? The proposed intercommunity bus service would run: as a “fixed stop” loopconnecting at Tavistock, Embro, Plattsville, Drumbo, Innerkip and Woodstock; with proposed connectionsto the Grand River Transit System (New Hamburg), the Stratford Intercity Transit System (Shakespeare), and the Middlesex and Tillsonburg Intercommunity Transit Systems (Woodstock Transit Terminal); and with a number of proposed additional, on-demand “flex-stops” as shown on the map below. Flex stops are included daily on a route based on individual request and may only be available at certain times. Page 63 of 457 How much will it cost? The intercommunity bus service is proposed to be financed through the Ontario Gas Tax transit funding, ticket sales, and possibly contributions or investment by employers who benefit from the service. However, there would still be some taxpayer costs applied through a municipal tax levy, which is applied to your municipal property tax bill. Based on our current estimates, the costs of this service would be: An increase to your base municipal property taxes of between $0.25 (25 cents) and $0.50 (50 cents) per household for all of Oxford County An additional increase of between $2.50 and $3.00 per household only for those who live in Blandford- Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock and Zorra One-time funding contribution from Oxford County’s already-approved 2020 budget for intercommunity transportation to cover transit program start-up costs, including the purchase of a new bus How to have your say We're looking for feedback on the intercommunity bus service from anyone who might benefit: residents and businesses in northern Oxford, the County's other area municipalities, and those travelling from outside of the County for work, business or personal reasons. You can have your say through: 1. Our online tools up to August 21, 2020 SURVEY: Take either the "public" survey for residents or the "business community" survey if you are a part of Oxford's economy.

Corner of County Road 22 and Oxford Road 42, Blandford-Blenheim What I think about this as a potential flex bus stop As a flex stop/request stop, it would be terrific. People that live here are too far away to easily reach a proper stop independently; especially if they have mobility issues. 7 William Street North, Blandford-Blenehim What I think about this fixed (set) bus stop There is a senior’s home that is being built at 121 Albert St. This stop will allow them access to the bus. Consider having stop in front of the arena.

You are also leaving out a lot of the communities so driving will still be required to get to a bus stop. Example you live in Hickson, the nearest stop is Tavistock but if you drive 3 minutes more the opposite direction you are in Woodstock... And for the residents who live no where near a stop telling them their taxes are going up for something they will never use or have access to is wrong and a slap in the face! There is much better places to be spending our tax money. This needs to get dropped right now before any more money is wasted on it. If the person who dreamed up this is the same person who thought to make communities safer lets raise the speed limit then it is time they are out of a job!

As part of this effort, our Government introduced the community benefits charge (CBC) authority along with changes to the Development Charges Act and parkland dedication under the Planning Act. Over the past year, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing consulted for over 300 days with municipalities, the development industry and the public on the implementation of the framework, including several aspects of the legislation and a regulatory approach. I value the input of our municipal partners. I am writing to inform you that on September 18th, our government proclaimed the remaining amendments that were made to the Development Charges Act and the Planning Act by Bill 108, the More Homes, More Choice Act, and, Bill 197, the COVID- 19 Economic Recovery Act. In addition, we have made a new regulation under the Planning Act and technical changes to regulations under the Planning Act, Development Charges Act and Building Code Act in order to finalize the framework for development charges, community benefits and parkland. As of September 18, 2020, municipalities will have two years to transition to the new regimes. This will enable both the municipalities and builders to adjust to these changes in light of the pressures of COVID-19. We listened to the feedback received during consultations, and that is why we are proposing to prescribe a percentage of 4% for the CBC authority that will be applied to land values to determine the maximum CBC for any particular residential development. The CBC could be used by local governments to fund capital costs of services that are needed due to higher density development and are not being recovered through other tools.

Loker ( 4-0 ) Larry Scanlan, Chair Becky Turrill, Secretary Page 135 of 457 Page 1 of 5 Subject: County Council Composition and Election of Warden Report Number: CLK-20-36 Author: Michelle Smibert, Town Clerk Meeting Type: Council Meeting Meeting Date: Monday, September 28, 2020 RECOMMENDATION THAT given the changes in population in the County and given the feedback from the public regarding the County Composition Survey for Oxford County, the status quo model not be supported and consideration be given to an increase in County Council representatives for municipalities that have a higher population; AND THAT the Town of Tillsonburg supports an increase in the number of County Council representatives to 2 members; AND FURTHER THAT the residents of Oxford County should vote in a Warden every four years. BACKGROUND The Municipal Act states that a key principle of fair representation is ensuring that local representation at the regional level keeps up with changing de mographics over time. To ensure council composition continues to reflect local and demographic needs, the Municipal Act, through the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, (Bill 68) requires that all regional municipalities review their council composition. This requirement began after the 2018 municipal election and must be done within two years after every second regular municipal election. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has set a deadline of December 1, 2020 for the County of Oxford’s review to take effect at the beginning of the 2023-2027 term of council. The most recent report considered by County Council is attached for your review. The County of Oxford has asked each lower tier municipality to include the attached Report No. CS 2020-33 and County Council resolution, adopted at their August 12, 2020 meeting, on our agendas in seeking Council’s position by resolutions in support of or against each of the two matters – County Council composition to remain status quo Page 136 of 457 CLK 20-36 Page 2 of 5 and election of the head of council (Warden) to continue by election of a sitting member of Council from amongst their peers. Of note there are some interesting numbers obtained from the County’s Public Engagement process on this topic: 67% of the respondents (so 86 out of 128 responses for question #1) did not want the current practice of electing a Warden amongst themselves at the start of the new term to continue. Also, 76% of the respondents (so 96 out of 127 responses for question #3) felt that the balance of five urban Councillors and five rural councillors doesn’t serve the County anymore and should change. Clearly, with the feedback received from the survey, there is a desire by the majority of respondents to see a change to the status quo. The County Council reports references a triple majority that is required on this matter. The following is the excerpt from that report: Triple Majority Support Regional municipalities can either change their council composition by passing a by-law or affirm their council composition by adopting a resolution. If the regional municipality does not receive “triple majority” support for either by the deadline, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has the authority to make a regulation to change the regional municipality’s composition. Triple Majority Support is defined in the Municipal Act as follows:  “A majority of all votes on upper tier council”: o A majority of the members of County of Oxford Council is defined in subsection 237(1) of the Municipal Act as “a majority of members representing at least one- half of the lower-tier municipalities is necessary to form a quorum”  “A majority of all the lower-tier councils have passed resolutions consenting to the by- law” o Five Area Municipal Councils must be in support of the proposed by-law  “The total number of electors in the lower-tier municipalities that have passed resolutions consenting to the proposal form a majority of the electors of the upper-tier municipality” o The sum of the electors in the Area Municipalities who have passed resolutions in support of the proposed by-law must add up to a minimum of 40,934 electors (one half plus one) CONSULTATION Mayor Molnar Page 137 of 457 CLK 20-36 Page 3 of 5 FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE n/a COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN (CSP) LINKAGE 1.

The Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. Risks/Implications As previously indicated and through the initial Council Composition Review report (CS 2020-11), the Province of Ontario, through the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, (Bill 68), requires all upper-tier municipalities to periodically undertake a review of the composition of their councils. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has set a deadline of December 1, 2020 for the County of Oxford’s review. Failure to either initiate a change in council composition or affirm the existing council composition by this deadline may result in the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing intervening by imposing regulation to unilaterally change the composition of the upper-tier council. Strategic Plan (2015-2018) County Council adopted the County of Oxford Strategic Plan (2015-2018) at its regular meeting held May 27, 2015. The initiative contained within this report supports the Values and Strategic Directions as set out in the Strategic Plan as it pertains to the following Strategic Directions: 3. i. A County that Thinks Ahead and Wisely Shapes the Future – Influence federal and provincial policy with implications for the County by: - Advocating for fairness for rural and small urban communities - Advocating for federal and provincial initiatives that are appropriate to our county 4. i. A County that Informs and Engages - Harness the power of the community through conversation and dialogue by: - Providing multiple opportunities for public participation and a meaningful voice in civic affairs - Understanding and addressing public aspirations for a more livable community 4. ii. A County that Informs and Engages - Inform the public about County programs, services and activities through planned communication that includes: - Regular County-Area Municipal information exchange Page 142 of 457 Report No: CS 2020-33 CORPORATE SERVICES Council Date: August 12, 2020 Page 3 of 9 DISCUSSION Background The Municipal Act states that a key principle of fair representation is ensuring that local representation at the regional level keeps up with changing demographics over time. To ensure council composition continues to reflect local and demographic needs, the Municipal Act, through the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, (Bill 68) requires that all regional municipalities review their council composition. This requirement began after the 2018 municipal election and must be done within two years after every second regular municipal election. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has set a deadline of December 1, 2020 for the County of Oxford’s review to take effect at the beginning of the 2023-2027 term of council. Although review of the election of the head of council is not a legislated requirement, County Council has expressed an interest in carrying out a concurrent review to ensure the election process continues to effectively serve the County’s constituents. On March 11, 2020, Oxford County Council adopted Report No. CS 2020-11, titled “County Council Composition and Election of Head of Council (Warden) Review”, which outlined a process and timelines required in order to meet the December 1, 2020 deadline as set out by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. At its meeting of June 10, 2020, Oxford County Council was presented with a follow-up report (number CS 2020-21) to review and consider the input provided by the Area Municipal Councils and to recommend a draft position to take effect at the next municipal election. The following resolution was adopted: “Resolved that the recommendations contained in Report No. CS 2020-21, titled “County Council Composition and Election of Head of Council (Warden) Review – Update” be adopted; And further, that Council composition remain as status quo.” A public meeting was held July 8, 2020 at which time one resident participated. Oxford County Council was also presented with Council report number CS 2020-26, outlining the details of the community engagement campaign which ran from June 17 to August 1, 2020. The following resolution was adopted: “Resolved that the recommendations contained in Report No. CS 2020-26, titled “County Council Composition and Election of Head of Council (Warden) Review – Community Engagement Update” be adopted”. Page 143 of 457 Report No: CS 2020-33 CORPORATE SERVICES Council Date: August 12, 2020 Page 4 of 9 Comments Requirements and Considerations Options which can be considered with respect to council composition include the following:  Maintain the status quo of ten members of council (50% Urban, 50% Rural); or  Increase or decrease the number of representatives on County council effective with the next term of council. Options which can be considered with respect to the election of the Head of Council (Warden) include the following: Election from within:  Continue with council’s current process for electing a warden as outlined in the Procedure By-law which includes the election of a sitting member of County council for the entire term of council; or  Continue with the County’s current process for electing a warden as outlined in the Procedure By-law which includes the election of a sitting member of County council for the period of one year; or  Continue with the County’s current process for electing a warden as outlined in the Procedure By-law which includes the election of a sitting member of County council for the period of two years. Election at large:  In addition to electing a mayor and councillors at the local level, residents would be asked to elect a warden from ‘at large’ (without specificity to an area municipal ward or jurisdictional boundaries) on October 24, 2022 for the four year term of council.  Depending on the recommendations made with respect to the number of council representatives on council, election of a warden at large could potentially increase the number of members of County council by one. Public Meeting and Public Engagement In accordance with section 218 subsection 173(3) of the Municipal Act with respect to restructuring, “Council shall consult with the public by giving notice of, and by holding, at least one public meeting”. As indicated, the public meeting was held on July 8, 2020. The Public Engagement Campaign, through Speak Up Oxford! attracted 221 visitors and received 127 responses. Survey respondents were asked a series of seven questions. Below is a brief summary of those Q&A’s. Detailed responses and comments can be viewed on Attachment 2. 1.

Triple Majority Support is defined in the Municipal Act as follows: • “A majority of all votes on upper tier council”: o A majority of the members of County of Oxf ord Council is defined in subsection 237(1) of the Municipal Act as “a majority of members representing at least one-half of the lower-tier municipalities is necessary to form a quorum” • “A majority of all the lower-tier councils have passed resolutions consenting to the by-law” o Five Area Municipal Councils must be in support of the proposed by-law • “The total number of electors in the lower-tier municipalities that have passed resolutions consenting to the proposal form a majority of the electors of the upper-tier municipality” o The sum of the electors in the Area Municipalities who have passed resolutions in support of the proposed by-law must add up to a minimum of 40,934 electors (one half plus one) In the event that a regional government does not submit a position with respect to its council composition, the Minister can make regulation under subsection 14(7) of the Municipal Act to change the composition of council, which may include anything that could be included in a by-law of the upper-tier municipality under sections (1) to (5), with regard for the principle of representation by population. Table 1 below sets out the number of electors by Area Municipality for the purposes of meeting the triple majority requirements to constitute a change in council composition and for assessing the appropriateness of the County’s council representation based on the 2018 electorate listing and forecasted population growth figures presented in Table 2.

In order to ensure the entire process is completed by the December 1, 2020 deadline, it is recommended that Council adopt a final position by two separate resolutions to be considered by the area municipal councils. One to either propose changes or confirm status quo with respect to Council’s future composition and one with respect to the method of electing the Warden on Monday, October 24, 2022. Failure to do so may result in the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing intervening by imposing regulation to unilaterally change the County’s council composition.

Many changes in population density have taken place since 1975. Speak up Oxford Country 7/23/2020 03:35 PM Should reflect population base, if Woodstock has three !- Tillsonburg should have two. They are a larger center than the rural areas Janet 7/23/2020 04:06 PM Due to the continuing growth in Tillsonburg residential property owners,and the fact that it is now 3 and a half times what it was in 1975,I believe we should have another seat on county council to be more fairly represented. Sharon 7/23/2020 05:29 PM Tillsonburg is a vibrant community and needs to be better represented at the county level. Too much say and services seem to go to Woodstock. Joe Public 7/23/2020 06:29 PM Tillsonburg has grown substantially over the past 5 years and deserves more seats at the table Wendy 7/24/2020 11:45 AM We should have 2 u.c. now as our town is larger in population Sharon 7/24/2020 05:50 PM Due to an increasing population in Tillsonburg another representative should be added. Mark 7/24/2020 06:42 PM Tillsonburg should have one additional seat at council BB 7/24/2020 06:50 PM All areas should have 2 councillors. That way there will be a better balance of representation.

Rowley 7/28/2020 10:21 AM Tillsonburg continues to grow and is almost half the size of Woodstock. I feel we are being shortchanged by not having a second vote. eg. SWO, Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra-Tavistock have less than half of our population and they have the same # of votes. D. A. Rowley 7/28/2020 11:15 AM I believe the balance of representatives is not consistent with the population of the areas that make up Oxford County Scot 7/29/2020 02:25 PM Woodstock is not 3 times the size of Tillsonburg but has more seats.

Patricia 7/31/2020 07:13 AM Tillsonburg has a large, active, cohesive concentration of the population which I believe requires greater representation at the county level.We are also greatly influenced by the counties of Elgin and Norfolk and we require a strong base to represent our interests and personality which are not necessarily consistent with the northern section of Oxford. We are currently in quite an isolated position. G B Penny 7/31/2020 08:01 AM One counselor for every 10000 +/- people 456 7/31/2020 01:19 PM Two options that I would consider to be a better representation: - 1 member per Municipality with a weighted vote based on population, therefore if Woodstock has a population that represents 37% of the County's population, their representative's vote would be weighted to equal 37% of the vote. If Zorra's population represents 7% of the population, their representative's vote would equal 7% of the vote. For every 10% of population of the County that a Municipality represents, they could have 1 member, therefore if Tillsonburg's population represents 14% of the population, they could have 2 representatives whose vote would each represent 7% of the vote. Based on 2016 data, Woodstock is 37%, Tillsonburg 14%, Ingersoll 12%, Norwich 10%, Zorra 7%, Blandford Blenheim 7%, SWOX 7% and EZT 6%. 2. 1 member for every 10,000 population, additional members for additional population above 10,000. Based on this Woodstock would have 4 represenatives, Tillsonburg 2, Ingersoll 2, Norwich 2 and the remaining rurals 1. Democracy is fundamentally based on representation by population. Oxford County needs to reflect this. Lori 7/31/2020 07:55 PM Tillsonburg needs more representation. Rick 8/01/2020 07:51 AM Since populations have changed, the election of councillors should reflect this. Ginger 8/01/2020 02:35 PM I believe Tillsonburg has grown so much and has become more prevalent in our County that it should have more representation .

Odd numbers (11) are better for tie breaking.

S Hampson 7/29/2020 07:53 PM Currently having the Warden elected by councillors, means that if the Warden is from a rural municipality, that municipality does not have a "Councillor " with a separate council vote. at times it can make it difficult for rural municipalities to have a strong vote on issues that are not really "urban" issues. The rural municipalities are getting less in size as the Woodstock, Ingersoll & Tillsonburg eat away at the rurals to feed the urbans need for growth, I think that the urbans have enough votes, (maybe they urban councillors should make an effort to attend all meetings, several urbans miss a lot of meeting and not for health reasons) if the urbans feel they have too much work for a part time councillor, let their lower tier municipality they represent increase the wages to more of a full time councillor wage. If you want to keep the number of Councillors at a maximum of 10, elect a Warden by a public vote and leave the number of councillors at 5 rural and 5 urban. Other alternative is have the Province do a restructuring to a "Region" . Weighted voting is too complicated for the general public to understand.

Q7.How did you find out about this project?County Council Newspaper not answered Currently having the Warden elected by councillors, means that if the Warden is from a rural municipality, that municipality does not have a "Councillor " with a separate council vote. at times it can make it difficult for rural municipalities to have a strong vote on issues that are not really "urban" issues. The rural municipalities are getting less in size as the Woodstock, Ingersoll & Tillsonburg eat away at the rurals to feed the urbans need for growth, I think that the urbans have enough votes, (maybe they urban councillors should make an effort to attend all meetings, several urbans miss a lot of meeting and not for health reasons) if the urbans feel they have too much work for a part time councillor, let their lower tier municipality they represent increase the wages to more of a full time councillor wage. If you want to keep the number of Councillors at a maximum of 10, elect a Warden by a public vote and leave the number of councillors at 5 rural and 5 urban. Other alternative is have the Province do a restructuring to a "Region" . Weighted voting is too complicated for the general public to understand.
