D) Items for Discussion
1. Transfer of Fire Code Enforcement from the Province (Office of the fire Marshal) to
the Municipality (Tillsonburg Fire Department). (Attached Correspondence - Mr. D.
Crowe, Supervisor, O.F.M. South West Region)
Mr. Rick Finnemore, Fire Protection Advisor with the Office of the Fire Marshal addressed the
Committee. He reported that the draft Legislation has now been prepared for the proposed
amendment to the Fire Code which will contain Regulations for Hotels in Ontario. It is proposed
that the amendment (Regulation) which will repeal the Hotel Fire Safety Act, will likely be
proclaimed in the Fall. A previous amendment (R.R.O. 1990, Reg.454), contains Regulations for
Health Care Facilities including Nursing Homes regulated under the Nursing Homes Act. While
the Fire Marshal of Ontario continues to maintain an Advisory and Enforcement roll of Nursing
Homes, this too will be a shift in responsibility to Municipal Fire Departments.
Mr. Finnemore explained that with respect to the Tillsonburg Fire Department, the Office of the
Fire Marshal would prefer to initiate the transition of transfer of these responsibilities sooner
than at the time of the Legislated amendments through an Inspection Partnership Program. He
expressed a number of positive reasons for the earlier transition. A discussion by members of
the Committee resulted in support to enter into an agreement with The Office of the fire marshal
providing that all of the properties involved would be in compliance with the Fire Code prior to
the transition to the satisfaction of the Fire Department.
Moved by Councillor Molnar and,
Seconded by Councillor Lamb, AND RESOLVED THAT
"The Fire Committee recommend to Council that the Fire Department be authorized to
enter into an agreement with the Office of the Fire Marshal under the Inspection
Partnership Program, after the Department is satisfied that the properties involved are in
compliance with all requirements contained in all applicable Codes."
Carried.
Mr. Finnemore addressed the Committee at the request of the Fire Department Staff on another
inspection and enforcement issue. The Ontario Building Code, under Subsection 2.4.4. permits
Chief of the Fire Department to be assigned as an Inspector (Building Inspector) with specific
responsibility for enforcement of portion(s) of the Building Code. He indicated several positive
reasons for assigning the Fire Chief this responsibility.
Deputy Fire Chief Parsons expressed the support of the Chief Building Official, Mr. Robertson
to have the Fire Department assist the Building Department with Inspection and Enforcement
responsibilities with respect to plans examination prior to issue of a building permit and
approval of the satisfactory installation of Life Safety Systems in accordance with the Building
Code prior to an Occupancy Permit being issued.

Im

The Deputy further indicated that in his submission to the other members of the Development
Coordinating Committee with respect to the proposed Site Plan Control By -Law, greater
efficiencies would be obtained through the Fire Department's scrutiny as outlined above and
reports to the Committee through the Chief Building Official. Further the Fire Department
Inspector has taken extensive training on the Life Safety Systems contained in Part 3 of the
O.B.C., was certified by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 1997 and is
recognized by the Chief Building Official as a local authority, currently as resource only to the
Building Department and without responsibility for enforcement.
Members of the Committee expressed supportive comments on the matter through discussion.
Since a decision to appoint the Fire Chief with such responsibilities involved another Municipal
Department it was agreed that a submission should be made to the Public Services Committee
first.
Moved by Councillor Molnar and,
Seconded by Councillor Lamb AND RESOLVED THAT
"Fire Department and Building Department Staff prepare a joint submission for the Public
Services Committee and the Fire Committee."
Carried....
Councillor Molnar left the Meeting due to a previous commitment.
(Recording secretaries note: Since a quorum no longer existed, all other matters were taken as
information only. No other Motions were made.)
2. Fire Protection And Prevention Act, 1997 and Fire Marshal's Guidelines
Fire Chief Eden made a presentation to the Committee with respect to new and existing
responsibilities for Municipalities in accordance with the above noted Legislation which
repealed The Fire Marshals Act and nine other Acts on October 29, 1997. Chairman Leachman,
Chief Eden and Deputy Chief Parsons attended a training session in London on April 2l' on the
changes established by the New Act, its Regulations (the new Fire Code), and Guidelines which
were established by the Fire Marshal of Ontario to assist Municipalities fulfill the minimum
requirements contained therein. The Guidelines outline a method to Optimize Fire protection
based on the needs of the Community weighed against financial considerations. The Optimizing
process is a consistent formula for all municipalities in Ontario. The process requires a review
of Fire Protection and Public Safety in the Community through the development of a Master
Plan.
The Committee noted the timeliness of the Guidelines as a tool to develop the Master Fire
Protection Plan which was recommended to Council at the Committee's previous meeting on
March 2, 1998 and approved. Fire Chief Eden commented that this is just another example
which demonstrates that the Department and the Municipality is ahead of the Province again and
is viewed by the Office of the Fire Marshal as a model Department for Communities of similar
size.

Mr. Finnemore offered supportive comments to the relevancy of the guidelines and distributed
material outlining various considerations to achieve Optimized Fire Protection through the
review process of a Master Fire Protection Plan.
The Committee requested the Department to make a similar presentation to Council so that all
Members could fully understand these matters.
3. Status of Aerial Fire Apparatus on order.
Fire Chief Eden reported that due to a shortage of automatic transmissions in North America., the
delivery of the Aerial Platform Truck was delayed. However, the transmission has now been
received by the Manufacturer and has been installed. Both he and the Mr. Davis the
Corporation's Mechanic made a site visit in April to inspect the chassis. The truck is being sent
to finish the body and ladder assembly. It is expected to be ready for delivery to our Department
in September.
E) Fire Reports - March & April, 1998 (attached)
F) Fire Prevention Report (attached)
As requested by the Committee, a new method for reporting Fire Prevention and other notable
activities was prepared and circulated. Members of the committee were supportive of the
Report format.
C) Business Arising (attached)
The Committee reviewed the minutes of the Meeting of March 2, 1998. The Deputy Fire Chief
presented an additional document to the minutes as a "summary" of Staff action required by a
previous meeting. The Committee indicated approval of the document, but requested that
complete Minutes of the previous Meeting continue to be circulated with the Agenda.
The Chair requested that the matter of the Fee Schedule be carried over as `Business Arising"
for the next Meeting. The Fee Schedule was not discussed during this Meeting.
The Meeting ended.

Small Business and Charities Protection Act, 1998
The Small Business and Chad es Protection Act, 1998 responds to concems of small
business owners and tenants, as well as charities. This proposed legislation would
build on existing measures to enable municipalities to protect all small businesses, as
well as charities, from large property tax increases.
This bill, if passed by the Legislature, will:
• give municipalities the power to protect all small businesses from property tax
increases, by limiting increases to 2.5 per cent a year for three years;
• enhance protedon for chaftes occupying business properties;
provide fair tax treatment for landlords holding gross leases;
• give municipalities more powers and options to implement property tax reform in a
fair and manageable way, to meet local needs.
In the 1998 Budget, the Minister of Finance also announced he would introduce
legislation to reduce commercial and industrial education taxes in municipalities where
these taxes are above the provincial average: ' For more detail, see the Backgrounder
entitled "Commercial and industrial property taxes cut by half a billion dollars."
What the Small Business and Charities Protection Act, 1998 would
do:
Protect small businesses
• Municipalities would have the power to limit tax increases on businesses to no more
than 2.5 per cent a year in 1998, 1999 and 2000.
To protect all businesses, the 2.5 per cent limit would also apply to individual
business tenants: for example, small businesses who lease space in shopping
centres, office buildings or industrial malls.
• The limit would apply to individual businesses such that their 1997 realty tax and
Business Occupancy Tax cannot increase more than 2.5 per cent a year.
To protect small industrial properties, municipalities would be able to set graduated
tax rates for the industrial class, similar to the graduated tax rates municipalities can
set for commercial properties. This would allow municipalities to apply lower tax
rates to lower -valued business properties.
2
To provide additional protection for small businesses, municipalities that do not
apply the 2.5 per cent limit would be able to rebate property tax increases for
businesses in the commercial and industrial classes.
Enhance protection for chanties
is Charities that occupy business properties would also be protected by the 2.5 per
cent limit on property tax increases.
• Municipalities that do not apply the 2.5 per cent limit mus provide registered
charities with property tax rebates of at least dD per cent.
• Municipalities could provide registered charities with rebates of up to 100 per cent of
property taxes.
To provide charities with more certainty and to help speed up rebates, municipalities
must provide charities their 1998 rebates and the first installment of their 1999
rebates by October 31, 1998. In subsequent years, the first instalment must be paid
to charities by January 15:
• Municipalities can also provide tax rebates of up to 100 per cent of property tax to
other similar charitable and non-prd t organizations. -- -
• • - The -province would share -the-c ost•-af-these•rebates•for -education tax purposes.
Provide fair treatment for landlords
Owners of commercial, industrial and multi -residential properties would be protected
by the 2.5 per cent limit
• To ensure fair treatment of landlords holding gross leases, the legislation would
allow them to pass through to tenants the equivalent of the average Business
Occupancy Tax for the property class in their municipality. Where municipalities
apply the 2.5 per cent limit, landlords will be able to pass through the actual amount
of the 1997 Business Occupancy Tax.
• The legislation would also allow landlords holding gross leases to pass through the
Business Improvement Area charges to tenants occupying business property.
Give municipalities more power and flexibility
• This legislation would give municipalities additional powers and flexibility to make tax
changes fairly, in ways that best meet local needs. New powers would include:
- graduated tax rates for industrial properties;
47
four new optional property classes: shopping centres; office buildings; vacant
land and parking lots; and large industrial properties;
extended powers to phase in all tax changes related to the Ontario Fair
Assessment System, for example, graduated tax rates.
- rebates on property tax increases for commercial and industrial properties.
To give municipal councils more time to implement these measures, the Province
will extend the return of the assessment rolls until May 291 1998. The legislation
would also extend the appeal deadline by one month, to July 31, 1998.
3
• The Province will be consulting with municipalities on the effects of the delay in the
assessment roll on their cash flow needs. The proposed legislation would allow the
Government, if necessary, to advance funds to school boards in lieu of the second
instalment of education taxes paid by municipalities to school boards. Municipalities
would then be required to reimburse the Province at a later date.

Commercial and industrial property taxes cut by half a
billion dollars
The 1998 Budget sets out the Province's plan to introduce legislation to reduce above-
average commercial and industrial education taxes, in order to help Ontario businesses stay
competitive and create jobs.
Starting in 1998, the province proposes to phase in a commercial and industrial education
tax cut over eight years. This reduction would apply to businesses in single- and upper -tier
municipalities where business education tax rates are above the provincial average,
estimated at 3.3 per cent.
As a result of these changes:
In total, business education taxes would be cut by more than $500 million from
current levels.
Business education taxes would be cut by $64 million in ISMS, and by $128 million in
1999. The balance of the cut would be phased in over the remainder of the eight-
year plan.
To help facilitate property tax reform, the tax cut would be targeted to taxpayers who
had been paying more than their fair share of business education taxes.
Details of the 1998 tax cut will be set out in regulation shortly. Legislation on the eight-year
plan will be introduced in the fall.
The Province also proposes to increase grants to school boards to offset the impact of
cutting education taxes. This would ensure that adequate funding for education is
maintained.
This tax reduction would be in addition to the property tax protection measures proposed in
the Small Business and Charities Protection Act 1998 details on that legislation are
available in a separate backgrounder_

Community Policing Partnership Program Details Announced
The Issue: The Province today provided additional details on the Community Policing
Partnership Initiative, announced in the 1998 Ontario Budget last Tuesday.
Background:
Tuesday's 1998 Ontario Budget included a new $131 million, 6 -year Community Policing
Partnership program with municipalities. Today, the Solicitor General released further details on
the new program:
• The program is aimed at hiring 1,000 new front-line police officers to increase police visibility
and target high crime areas.
• All municipalities are eligible to participate in the program.
• The Province will provide matching dollars up to 50 per cent of the salary costs for police
officers newly hired. The balance of salary and benefit costs and other related costs (including
equipment costs) will be paid by the municipality.
• Participation in the program requires a decision by the municipality to hire new police officers.
Hiring replacements for retiring or otherwise departing officers will not be eligible for assistance.
• Municipalities and the Province will enter into funding agreements through a memorandum of
understanding that covers all five years of the program.
• Transitional provisions will enable all municipalities to benefit from the provincial investment,
including those municipalities that have already set their budgets and would not consider hiring
new officers this year. For example, in high -prime areas, police services will be able to use the
funding to pay the overtime costs for currently -serving police officers assigned to these new
high -visibility initiatives. The Province and the municipality would share these costs on a 50150
basis.
Current Status:
The Province, in its announcement today, pledged to consult with AMO on the details of the
program (e.g. eligibility criteria, application process) in the near future. The Ministry expects the
program to be up and running by this summer.

Legislation introduced to Assist Small Business and Charities
The issue: The Province has Introduced new tax policy legislation to address the
concerns of small business and charities
The Facts:
On May 7. 1998, Finance Minister Emle Eves introduced Bill 16, Small Business and Charities
Protection ACC 1998. The purpose of the proposed legislation is to enable municipalities to assist
small businesses and charities that are facing large property tax increases.
The proposed legislation implements many of the tax policy decisions of the Government that
were announced on March 27, 1998, including changes to business education taxes, the delay
in the return of the assessment roll and assessment appeal period. Upon initial review, the
legislation appears to be prescriptive and inconsistent with the goal of property assessment reform
to give municipalities more control over their tax policy decisions. AMO will be doing an in-depth
analysis to confirm the legislation's strengths and weaknesses.
Highlights of the proposed legislation are as follows:
• Municipalities can, if they choose to, apply a 2.5 per cent limit on tax increases, or provide a
rebate for businesses in commercial and industrial classes.
• Municipalities will be allowed to limit tax increases on businesses to no more than 2.5 per cent
a year over the next three years. The 2.5 per cent cap must apply for all three years and
municipalities cannot opt into the cap after 1998.
The limit can also be applied to individual businesses, such as those located in a shopping
mall or office building and to charities occupying business properties. If a cap is used, the
municipality must maintain a `frozen assessment listing', the details of which are unclear at
this time.
• Municipalities can set graduated tax rates for industrial properties as it can with commercial
properties, thus lower valued industrial property can have lower tax rates.

.KAY=12-98 TUE 04:24 PM AMO FAX NO. 4169716191 P. 02/02
Member Communication - Alert: Legislation Introduced to Assist Small Business and Charities
• The proposed legislation makes it mandato for single and upper tier municipalities to either
apply the 2.5 limit to eligible charities or to provide a rebate program of at least 40 per cent of
the taxes paid. Municipalities will have the discretion to proVide the same rebates to
organizations that are 'similar' to eligible charities,
• Landlords with gross leases will be able to pass a portion of their realty taxes and 131A charges
on to tenants occupying commercial or industrial property regardless of any lease provision.
The Province would be permitted to advance funds to school boards in lieu of the second
(June 30) installment of education taxes payable to them by municipalities.
Status:
It is clear that the Province is committed to the new property assessment and taxation system.
This legislation is intended to clean up some implementation issues.
A number of preliminary questions arise including whether the Province would require
municipalities to pay interest charges if it makes the June installment. Payment of interest
charges is completely unacceptable to AMO. Municipalities are losing interest as a result of the
delay in the return of the assessment roll and the issuance of the final tax notices. Also, it is
unclear whether advancing funds to school boards is the only option being seriously considered
by the Province to deal with cash flow problems.
These and other questions will be explored in a meeting AMO is holding with Ministry of Finance
officials next week. An AMO working group will review the legislation in more detail and AMO will
comment on the Sill when it is referred for public hearings. It is expected that this legislation will
be fast tracked and could be referred for hearings as early as June.

CITIZENS OF TILLSONBURG
As Acting Chief of Tillsonburg Police, it is my pleasure to present the 1997
Annual Report.
In 1997, the policing community in Ontario was faced with many changes. The
Ontario Police Services Act, the legislation that governs police services, was
-
amended in November 1997. Considerable dialogue was held prior to this
-
legislation being passed, along with the proposed adequacy standards that are
being drafted. Although some changes will be required, I am pleased to report,
that given the excellent facility we occupy and equipment supplied by the
Town, Tillsonburg Police Service appears to stand in good stead to address the
proposed changes.
Statistically speaking, I am pleased to report that generally, Criminal and Traffic
statistics, over a three year period, continue to show a slight reduction in
numbers. Theft of Motor Vehicles continue to rise, as is the case in many
communities in Ontario.
Effective June 3, 1997, Sergeant Patrick Hovorka, a 31 year veteran of
Tillsonburg Police, retired. In December of 1997, Constable Heather Patterson
left our service to continue her career with the Sarnia Police.
Many communities in Ontario, facing new policing standards and fiscal
changes, began looking at other options regarding policing. On December 15,
1997 Tillsonburg Town Council passed a resolution requesting a costing for a
contract with the Ontario Provincial Police. This costing is anticipated by July
of 1998 for Tillsonburg Council to make its decision.
In closing, I would like to thank the Tillsonburg Police Services Board for its
continued support and direction. I would also thank the Citizens of Tillsonburg
for their ongoing support, for without it, we, the Tillsonburg Police Service,
could not fulfill the mandate you have entrusted to us.

1997 COMMUNITY SERVICES
- In last year's report, I listed the following objectives:
* to establish a solid line of communication between the Tillsonburg
Police Services and the school administrations
* to establish a non-traditional police presence at both Annandale
and Glendale schools and review and update existing programs
These goals have been met and I believe the following report confirms
this.
The goals/objectives for the next year will build on the foundation that
__. was laid during 1997. 1 will work towards a more involved presence in
the seniors community, maintain the public relations through the media
and maintain a positive and innovative approach to program development
and problem solving.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS
During the January - December time period I made 112 school visits.
These visits encompassed all grades from Junior Kindergarten to O.A.C.
We offer an intro to the police, bus safety, bike safety, drug talks, street
proofing, fingerprinting, V.I.P., talks covering Provincial
Offenses/Criminal Offenses/Police Careers etc. I also became involved
with the Bridges Program for high risk students at Maple Lane School,
visiting a class once a month. I secured Guardian Industries as a
corporate sponsor for the resurrected Seat Belt Deputy Program. This is
School Programs cont'd.
now up and running and it has been presented to half of the Grade Two
pupils in town.
We have maintained our commitment to the Co-op Program and the
students of two high schools, and one community college have
experienced the community aspects of policing first hand.
I was also lucky enough to arrange for former Canadian heavyweight
champion George Chuvalo to visit Glendale High School on February 25.
— He delivered a moving presentation on the devastating effect th�'ti drug
use has had on his family.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

School program.

its official media kick off September 24.

Community Programs contd.
SCHOOL LIAISON - This program has seen tremendous success at both
Annandale and Glendale. I have established a working relationship with
the schools and have dealt with neighbour complaints, in -school
- investigations and as a general resource. Project Extra Eye is a result of
this cooperation.
AUXILIARY PROGRAM - Department liaison - This program recently hired
two new auxiliary members.

IN DEVELOPMENT
Pre -Charge Diversion - three youths have gone through as a pilot for this
project. It may expand to include community options for justice
counselling and justice circles.
Operation Extra Eye - a multi -faceted program available to Annandale
-- residents to help discourage and identify youths causing problems.
Cable 5 Ride -a -Long Program - a local cable version of COPS
Children's and Seniors' Day at the fair
Blood Born Pathogens - risk assessment and reporting on exposure to the
medical officer of health -
As with other aspects of policing, our success to a great extent can be
measured by how well we serve our community. The Tillsonburg Police
Service offers, through the Community Services Office, a comprehensive
range of services and programs. As a result we managed to serve a large
cross section of our community. The positive feedback that the service
has received, is, I believe, an indication that the public is well served.
1997 was a successful, productive year and I look forward to the
challenges of 1998.

8.3 Economic Development and Employment Areas
An Overview Of The Zoning Change Reguest For 527 Broadway
The building owner P & J Edwards Services Inc. is requesting a zoning change to
accommodate a long term lease tenant in the north part of the building. The current tenant
has indicated that they no longer require the full space they rent and most likely will be
moving. A change in zoning will be beneficial to all the applicable parties.
Current Zoning: C2-14
The current C2-14 zoning allows for all the uses listed in section 12.1 plus a clinic. The
current tenant has been deemed a clinic but a quick tour of the facility would indicate that
this is more a business office than a clinic.
We would like to draw your attention to two specific uses allowed under the section 12.1
which are a real estate office and a bank. These businesses would be allowed to locate in
this building without any restrictions. It is important to understand the similarities between
these businesses and the business operations of the prospective tenant.
The prospective tenant is a locally owned general insurance broker which provides the
following services for their clients. General insurance, guaranteed investment certificates,
mortgage insurance, travel insurance, life insurance, and investment products such as
mutual funds. The broker is also allowed to operate as real estate broker and a mortgage
broker but currently does not offer these services.
A bank offers a identical line of products except general insurance which is replaced by
money account services. There is very little difference between their operations and they
are both categorized as part of the financial service industry. One dissimilarity is that the
banks clients frequently visit the premise to use the money account services, as the general
insurance broker clients may only visit the premises a few times per year. The prospective
tenant would draw less people to the north Broadway area.
A real estate office like a general insurance office are serviced based businesses. In the
past and even today, there are businesses that operate as both an insurance office and a
real estate office. Hogarth Wm B Ltd is an example of this in Tillsonburg. It is also noted
that a C2-8_ zoning defines a business or professional office as a real estate office,
insurance office, accountant; and /or tax office, doctors office or dentist's office. These
two businesses have been grouped together in previous zoning by-laws.
Other Considerations:
The prospective tenant requires 2675 sq ft of which 700 sq ft will be dedicated to financial
services and 1975 sq ft will be used for general insurance operations. Due to regulatory
requirements, a separate entrance may be required for the financial services operations.
This split occupancy with two businesses under 2000 sq ft would conform to the official
plan.
The prospective tenant would like to move to the north Broadway area for the following
reasons:
1. A large part of the guaranteed investment certificate client base is mature and to
accommodate their needs the business requires a location which provides easy in and out
access. The Edwards building with parking in front and beside the business will fulfill this
need.
2. The financial service industry is vastly changing and the prospective tenant believes that
it is imperative that their business be located in an affordable high exposure location. In
order to compete with the large financial institutions, small locally owned businesses must
be on main thruways and not on side streets. The Edwards building meets these
requirements.
3. The prospective tenant can move into the existing building without having to make any
major tenant improvements. The current layout is ideal for a financial services office.
4. One of the prospective tenants largest insurance companies has a claim service office
located next to the building at 523 Broadway. This close proximity will be mutually
beneficial to both businesses.
5. The prospective tenant plans to expand their services and the building provides
adequate room for growth.
The current location of the prospective tenant is on a side street in the downtown core.
They occupy a 2 storey building that is owned a partner in the business. Moving from this
location will not leave a void in the core as the second storey will be converted back to an
apartment and the first storey will remain as a small office. The owner is confident that the
office space will: be quickly rented out.
Zonina Of Other North Broadwgy Properties
We believe that the zoning change we are requesting must be fair to surrounding business
property owners and compliment the businesses located in the north Broadway area.
Listed below are three business properties which reflect the above statement.
523 Broadway: This building is located directly south of the Edwards building.
It is occupied by Avco Financial Services, Economical Insurance and Escapes which is a
beauty salon.
The zoning is C2-10 which again includes all the uses in section 12.1 plus an additional list
of uses. A business or professional office and a financial institution are included in this list
with no restrictions on the size of these businesses. This zoning would accommodate the
proposed tenant.
518 Broadway: This building is located directly across the road from the Edwards
building. It is occupied by Broadway Cinemas, Hollyhocks, and Ambrosia Delicatessen. A
vacant unit is being advertised as business office space.
The zoning is C2-18 which has many listed uses. A bank, or financial institution, a
business or professional office, and a real estate office are included with no restrictions on
the sizes of these businesses. Again, this zoning would accommodate the proposed tenant.
594 Broadway: This building is the plaza on the east side of Broadway at North Street.
The occupancy includes Edward Jones Financial Services, and three doctor offices which
fall under the category of professional offices.
The zoning is C2-8 which again allows for a bank, financial institution, a business or
professional office, and a real estate office. There is a size limitation of 2,992 sq ft or
278m sq for the real estate, insurance, accountants, doctors and dentist offices. This is the
only mention of an insurance office in any of the three properties zoning. Again this zoning
would accommodate the proposed tenant.
Summary:
The zoning change we are requesting is fair to surrounding property owners and the
proposed tenants business does compliment current occupancies in the north Broadway
area. We ask you to consider our application and base your decision on it's true merits.
We believe that everyone involved with our request will benefit including the town of
Tillsonburg .
Please note that this brief was prepared by the proposed tenant Burns, Demeyere &
Associates.

D. Oliphant asked about progress to date on the water
agreements between oxford and Perth County on the existing
supply from the county (Tavistock) water system to
properties in the former south 8asthope Township.
;0ti17. J. Hayes assumed the Chair from D_ Oliphant for presentation
and discussion of the following item.
D. Oliphant presented a resolution to the Committee which
was discussed at considerable length. Committee resolved on
motion by D. Oliphant, seconded by S. Hampson that:
Whereas, the County of Oxford has passed previous
resolutions regarding the assumption of planning, design and
Construction responsibilities for County water and sewage
services which have not been fully implemented through
either agreements with the Area Municipalities or day-to-day
practices;
And Whereas, the County has not realized its planning, /
design and construction responsibilities associated with the /
provision of water and sewage services due to communication
and coordination issues;
And Whereas, the County believes that there are economic and
organizational efficiencies to be realized through single
agency responsibility for all water and sewage services;
Now Therefore Re Xt Resolved, A96*K..
That the County gives notice, effective May 25, 1998, of its
desire to terminate all water and wastewater agreements
between the county and the Area Municipalities as of
May 25, 1999;
and Mpw '
That the County of Oxford assume all of the planning, design
and construction, operations, maintenance and monitoring
responsibilities for water and sewage services in the
County, effective on the date of termination of all water
and wastewater agreements -between the County and the Area
Municipalities;
and
That the six month period from May 25, 1998 to
November 25, 1998 be used by staff to prepare a report for
county Council regarding the effective management of the
planning, design and construction, operations, maintenance
and monitoring responsibilities for water and sewage
services in the County, including:
i) the appropriate organizational structure within the
county government for these responsibilities;
ii) the appropriate staffing requirements and the transfer
of employees from the Area Municipalities to the County
which respects the provisions regarding staffing
contained within the County of Oxford Act, as amended;
and
iii) the required start-up costs as well as a five-year
capital budget for the water and sewage services in the
county_
and
That the six month period from November 26, 1998 to May 25,
1999 be used to make the necessary arrangements and to
complete the implementation of the recommendations of the
report in order to permit a smooth transition of the full
responsibility for the water and sewage services to the
county.
