The plant is has more office space and "high- tech" equipment than TCR, but approximately the same size and processes less than half the tonnage TCR is currently processing. Brown County accepts glass, plastic, metal and has a depot for hazardous waste. They also receive a large amount of brown beer bottles. They do not have anything to compare to Ontario's Beer Store high recovery of bottles and packaging. All paper waste goes straight to a paper pulp mill, not to the recycling facility. A file of promotional materials has been set up. Tillsonburg Total Recycling information was sent to Brown County for their information. 2. Regarding what happens to Tillsonburg's recyclables after they are processed at TCR, Canada Fibres Ltd. who buys corrugated cardboard from TCR advised that baled paper from TCR is "clean," containing no other types of recyclables which meets their 0% tolerance of contaminants. Much of this paper is processed to make new cardboard boxes. 3. Complaints from merchants backing on Fox Alley, south of Baldwin Street, about unsuitable and large items being abandoned behind their buildings. Letters and recycling information similar to what was sent to property owners north of Baldwin Street were mailed out. Merchants will advise if their is no improvement. 4.

TCR in partnership with CanWest/Global BTV. produced a Total Recycling segment to air on ONTV and Prime -in late September 1998. Town of Tillsonburg's Councillor David Beres, Recycling Coordinator Emily Purchase and the recycling collectors may be featured in this segment. Tillsonburg News reporter Brad Medel was on hand to take pictures. TCR reps are very pleased with the copy they have received from CanWest and will provide Public Services with tapes of the segment. 9. D. Beres, M.C. Cowan and E. Purchase represented Tillsonburg Total Recycling at the TCR Tour July 16, 1998, which was attended by David Tsubouchi, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Mr. Tsubouchi was very impressed with the plant. 10. M.C. Cowan and E. Purchase represented Tillsonburg Total Recycling at two TCR Tours, August 26, 1998, for Simcoe County and City of Orillia residents, municipal reps, and press, and for Twp of Dutton-Dunwich (Elgin County) Council. City of Orillia and several townships in southern Simcoe County are currently discussing the possibility of setting up plants with TCR. 11. A Tillsonburg Waste Management information package was sent as per the request of Victoria County (located north of Simcoe County) to answer questions about the Total Recycling System and TCR. 12. In July, Tillsonburg Total Recycling recovered all of the Tillsonburg Multi Service Centre s old paper files during the move to their new office. Several special pick ups were made by the collection crew, keeping several hundred pounds of paper out of landfill. 13. ReinCARnate flyers and posters were distributed to 25 Tillsonburg businesses and municipal service offices. 14. Public Services is still waiting for the results of the 1998 Solid Waste Association of North America waste management awards. 15.

Council wasn't acting on a staff recom. menJntion when it turned down the total recycling idea, said Roy Bmnkley, three - for of engineering. The waste management commonce is made up of council members and staff and was re-enacted specifically to look at Ore garbage issue. "1'm not aware that there's any real re. sistance to the theory or topic:" said Bmnkley. "I don't think there's much sup- port for what was proposed." Norwich Township deputy mayor Susan Hampsnn, who made the motion not topur- suethe pmgma said it's not derider, county isti I interested in total recycling. 'We hiwc0 shut the door, vec'vejust said ,we want more information';' said Hampson. The county wants to find out the status of its individual municipalities' garbage collection contracts and whether there is interest in pursuing total recycling, she said. "To make it worthwhile, everyone would have to be involved." Also, the proposal for total recycling is the only one the county has heard and in- volves spending millions on a new local plant. said Hampson. "There are other people out (here.

And while plugging the success of its re. cycling program, Tillsonburg does have a stake in that plant coming to Oxford. The town is currently paying about $50 per Ion or recycle waste through lite wel/dry sys- lee,. but costs could drop considerably with a heal facility, said Cowan.

Eleanor Hart, chair for the lo- cal environmental group Grassroots Woodstock, was part of a coalition that conducted a studv on waste reduction in Ox- ford back in 1995. Its conclusion was that the wet/dry system of recycling was not the best for Oxford County. The study called diversion rates of 80 per cent optimistic and found the systemwas too expen- sive, said Hart. Instead of a wet/dry collection, Grassroots backs Woodstock's curbside box system with a little financial help from residents. "Grassroots advocates some sort of pay -as -you waste system, so people who waste a lot have to pay for it," said Hart. Something does need to be done to increase the amount of materi- als that are recycled, said Hart. Ontario's government set a goal of 50 -per -cent diversion of waste from landfills, provincewide, by the year 2000. But by 1996 garbage reduction had only reached 22 per cent, below the halfway mark / it should have . reached in 1992, said Hart. �stie#, ]&&enfial savings ilfsonburg gathered statistics on the garbage diver- sion rates of Oxford County's municipalities in 1996 be- fore making a presentation on the total recycling pro- gram. Included here are the percentages each municipality diverted from the landfill in 1996, and potential savings during the first year if they had adopted the total recy- cling program. Numbers include a now -defunct Ministry of the Environment subsidy to Woodstock of $137,753 and to Tillsonburg of $50,000. Blandford -Blenheim: 17.2 per cent diversion, $64,219 potential savings East Zorra-Tavistock: 21.5 per cent, $26,896 Norwich: 18.7 per cent, $63,934 South-West Oxford: 31 per cent, $107,442 Zorra: 24.8 per cent, $76,478 Ingersoll: 24.8 per cent, $40,700 Tillsonburg: 79.8 percent, $29,291 Woodstock: 17.8 per cent, $31,842 --------------------- Page 4 The Sentinel Review, Friday, July 24, 1998 e e� 'I'hc Scnlind-Itcvicw is all :unalgm... of'1'hc Scnlincl. founded in 1954 and The Review, founded in 1870 and has beer, published as a daily since 1886.

Roz 1000, EDIT Woodstock, Ontario, N4S 8A5 OFFII Not right now, again and again Tillsonburg Mayor Cain McKnight wants to know how many times you can beat somebody over the head with something. Is that with a bag of wet waste or dry? When it comes to Oxford County and the successfully- proven-fn-Tillsonburg total recycling program, it doesn't seem to matter, even when you VIEWPOINTlook at the facts: One quarter of a million dollars in savings in one year; up to 80 -per -cent diversion rates from landfill, provincial ministry officials coming to take a personal look, a national television station documentary and international award-winning success. Bob _ Yet, county council's answer July 2 was still: not right now. This, just as interest in the program and TCR Environ- mental Corp. — the Aylmer -based company that facilitates the waste ntatutgentenl technology — is piquing across Ontario azul even down inlo the United States. It's not the first timc Tillsonburg has tried to convince the county to opt in since 1995. But McKnight says he's all but given up trying to convince staff and his elected counterparts to begin the recycling system that sees residents leave a wet and dry bag at the curbside. To him it's "bizarre to say the least." To many others, the situation would have to draw a similar response. Sure, to make it worthwhile countywide, everyone would need to get involved. But rallying a good majority of the troops under a total policing program wasn't all that difficult. And, we're talking about garbage collection here. And yes, TCR has proposed building a $5.2 -million recycling plant right here in Oxford County to provide the capacity and technology. But even with tonnage rates charged to county municipalities, the savings in the first year have been pegged at $250,000. In 10 years the county could almost buy the plant. At the rate Oxford County's landfill is cramming up, that's just about half the time before Ilse municipality would need to begin looking at a new landfill option that Warden Mark Harrison agreed recently could cost IN of millions of dollars. Is county council being careful in jumping in? Of course. Is the county a little hesitant and shell-shocked under the impact of tire. past I'ew years' provincial downloading? Likely. 't Is there resistance to the possible humility required in accepting advice from a little town with the motto'For- ward'? Maybe. So, the .cafe bet? h's the status quo. Norwich deputy maym Susan Hampson matte the county council mullion to not pursue the total recycling program, saying the county hasn't shut the door, but it just wants more information. u Granted.

"They're basically fool proof," said Emily Roloson, recycling co-ordinator for the Town of Tillsonburg. Common sense says that when the hot weather comes, these piles or bins of rotting kitchen and yard waste should start to stink. But there's no reason that should happen, Roloson said. By following a few sim- ple rules, anyone using a composter can easily keep all foul odors at bay all summer. Roloson said one of the big things to keep in mind is that the waste in a composter needs air. Take away the air and the smell quickly fol- lows. Purchase suggested stirring the compost every couple months with a pitch fork, or a little more often if the composter gets a lot of use. Excess moisture can also keep air from getting to the compost. While a little mois- ture is necessary to aid de- composition, too much is definitely a bad thing. Leaves or even a bit of finely ripped tip paper can absorb some of the moisture. Locating the composter so it doesn't sit in water Is also important. "If it, In a very wet area then it's going to be wet all the time and it's not going to work very well," Roloson said. Watching what goes into the composter can also help control odors. Fresh green grass can smell if it goes into If everything Is done right, compositors sBRAD MEDEL PHOTO houldn't smell, says Tillsonburg's recycling co-ordinator Emily Rolo- son. Keeping It fairly dry and free of animal -based kitchen waste Is Important to help prevent odor over the sum- mer. the composter in one big mass. Letting Ilse grass dry before placing it in the com- postercan help. Roloson said town residents can take their clippings to the town's com- post site just south the tracks south of Hwy. 3 off Hwy. 19. While grass can go in a backyard composter, certain waste should never be put in. Meat, dairy, pasta and bread products create odors no matter what and are also more likely to attract vermin than plant matter. "If it's just the plant mat- ter they're less likely to go nibbling," Roloson said. Composters work best during the heat of the sum- mer months, but there arc filings which call be done to make them work even better. Don't put large chunks o1' matter into the composter. Ripping up a piece of broc- coli or crushing egg shells increases surface area and gives bacteria and other life in the composter more room to work. "9l helps it break down faster," Roloson said. And while too much wa- ter isn't good, adding a hit when things get dry helps things out. Even with T'illsonburg's total recycling system, which sees most wet garbage placed at the curb composted at an Aylmer plant, home compost- ing still benefits the town, Roloson said. Tillsonburg pays the Aylmer plant by n right weight so the less garbage I shipped to Aylmer, the less it costs the town. "It's a cost saving and you're getting your own free compost as well," she said. ' N s Local Government Institute Executive Robert L.

VicDavid ' Th November 1997 the Local Government Institute mailed out the National • 1Residential Recycling Collection Survey. We sent 892 questionnaires to local Y � governments across the country. We have received a steady stream of replies and to • date, have heard from 242 municipalities, a response rate of 27%. Response rates vary : from region to region, with British Columbia having the highest response rate and Ontario the lowest. We have recently sent out followup questionnaires to clarify and • complete some questions and these are still coming back to us. We are beginning preliminary analysis, but full analysis will wait until we have all the followups back. Of the local governments which have residential recycling collection, recyclables are typically collected in one of three ways: curbside collection only, depot or drop-off bins only, or a mix of curbside collection and depot collection. Overall, • 33% or local governments have curbside collection only, 17% have depot collection only, and 50% have both types of collection. : The collection service is typically performed by either municipal forces, contractor forces. or mix of municipal and contractor forces. Nationally, 14% of local • governments use public forces exclusively, 79% use contractor forces, and 7% use : a mix of contractor and municipal forces.

Municipalities now have; the flexibility and responsibility t(.-) determine flu; most appropriate mentis cel' meeting the needs of their local residents, including aIternativcr service delivery approaches. In assessing these optiuns, several municipalities have considered the sale or iransf�r oI• tr::t1sit capital assets previously subsidized by the: Ministry of Transportadon. In the pas(, our transii prugrain policy was to recover a provincial share upon the sale of any transit capital We have been asked whether this polic;v will continue now that municipalities have; sale IundinL responsibility tier transit. This government believes that municipalities should havefull IlexibiIity in managing the ussL!ts at their disposal. Accordingly, I would like: to confirm that the Ninistry (fl-Fratlsportation will cult rocliire municipalities to rC'turn the province's share of the 7roccccis sho tild t.11ty LIlLldl lu sell or trunsl& it-attsit capital assets for which subsidies were received in the pxst.

MIS similar in design to the bus you have now, however it has all of the latest heavy duty featUM suet as the heavier front axle, larger rear brake package and unproved entry ramps. We could snake this vehicle available to you or $127,000. The bus is currently in stock, and we would add some extra seats to the bees has I have indicated to you on the floor plan. This unit is two feet shorter than your current bus, however I feel it would meet your service requirements. If you would like •.o see it, let me know and I'll run it across to you. We could have this bus ready for you in about three weeks. A new bus would cost approximately S 135,000 and take & months to deliver. I have asked Nora Seguin at Newcouit Financial to call you directly and to give you leasing rates for this unit.

TOWN OF TILLSONBURG COMMERCIAL C-1 ZONE PARKING REVIEW, 1997 TdiLLSO,NBEAU, IR�G AUGUST 1998 60 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG CO'NWERCIAL C-1 'LONE PARKING REVIEW, 1997 The data used in reviewing the number and location of parking spaces in the Tillsonburg Commercial C-1 zone comes from the Situational Analysis as prepared by Emmerson Consulting and Association in 1996, and from records and maps from Tillsonburg Public Services. This review provides an overview of Tillsonburg commercial parking as a whole and also by each of the ten blocks as identified in the Situational Analysis report. The information will be given two tests. The number of square feet of commercial space crosses minimum spaces required under By-law 1994 as "one space per 193.75 square feet," to determine if there is enough parking available to satisfy the minimum needs in the area. A second test of `one space per 500 square feet" will indicate the minimum needs for static spaces. This formula was recommended by the consultant and is found in the American Planning Association Downtown Improvement Manual. Dynamic Parking Spaces or Two Hour Parking are high turn over spaces that, due to the nature .of the surrounding commercial use. may be used for under half an hour to a maximum of two hours. Static Parking Spaces or tion -Restrictive Parking ha -,e no time restrictions imposed. Councillor Brenda Carroil and Director of Public Services Mark Cowan made on-site inspections to observe and record each block's individual requirements and current space utilization during business hours. During on-site inspections. several properties where identified as having potential for parking developments. A parking block report from Economic Development Officer Fran Bell has also been included as part of this review. The methods and comments are not an exact science. but [ believe they will provide the Municipality with enough data to make informed adjustments as necessary. r (rusting that Public Services and Council will find this information useful.

With customer parking being of high priority, the 19 dynamic two hour spaces should be maintained. During the on-site inspection, spaces were actively in use with a visible tum -over of users. ACTION: It should be noted that there are static spaces available on the west side of Bidwell Street. Development of additional spaces is desirable. The efficient use of static vs. dynamic spaces on the west side of Bidwell Street should be investigated. 65 5 41 BLOCK C SOUTH OF RIDOUT STREET, NORTH OF BROCK STREET WEST, WEST OF BROADWAY COMMON REFERENCE POINT: ROYAL BANK OF CANADA COMMERCIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE: 56,871 EXISTING SPACES ON STREET: 93 PRIVATE PARKING SPACES: 62 MUNICIPAL PARKING SPACES: 64 TOTAL NUMBER OF SPACES: 219 TEST #1 Minimum Spaces Required under By-law 1994 56,871/193.75 = 294 from existing 219 spaces = - 75 parking spaces (shortfall) TEST #2 Minimum deeds for Static Spaces 57,871/500 = 114 from 62 existing private and 47 municipal lot spaces = - 5 parking spaces (shortfall) DYNAMIC TWO HOUR PARKING: Street Spaces: 93 Municipal Lot Spaces: 17 Total: 110 TOTAL STATIC MUNICIPAL SPACES: Municipal Parking Spaces: 64 Dynamic Municipal Lot Spaces: -17 Total Static Spaces: 47 COMMENTS: There is an over all shortage of 75 spaces in Block C. The static needs of this area appear to be spilling over into the residential area. It has been well documented that this is not desirable to the home owners in the area of Brock Street West. ACTION: Reduce the number of dynamic two hour parking spaces by 5 spaces to create more static spaces. 15 dynamic two hour spaces remain for turn -over parking spaces until additional parking can be developed. Consider approaching owners of private parking lots regarding private/public partnership use and maintenance. 66 6 i BLOCK D SOUTH OF BROCK STREET WEST, NORTH OF BALDWIN STREET, WEST OF BROADWAY COMMON REFERENCE POINT: HEATH'S DEPARTMENT STORE COMMERCIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE: 72,995 EXISTING SPACES ON STREET: 69 PRIVATE PARKING SPACES: 94 MUNICIPAL PARKING SPACES: 72 TOTAL NUMBER OF SPACES: 235 TEST #X Minimum Spaces Required under By-law 1994 72,995/193.75 = 377 from existing 235 spaces = - 142 parking spaces (shortfall) TEST #2 Minimum Needs for Static Spaces 72.995/500 = 146 from 94 existing private and 53 municipal lot spaces = 1 surplus parking space DYNAMIC TWO HOUR PARKING: Street Spaces: 69 Municipal Lot Spaces: 19 Total: 88 TOTAL STATIC MUNICIPAL SPACES: Municipal Parking Spaces: Dynamic Municipal Lot Spaces: -19 Total Static Spaces: 53 COMMENTS: Block D has the secondgreatest intensity of commercial square footage, excluding the mall in Block F. There is a wide range of commercial uses, plus the greatest number of upper residential apartments at 37 units. The vacancy rate is second only to Block I. ACTION: A high priority must be given to additional parking in Block D. The notes from on-site inspection suggest adjustments for dynamic two hour parking and static parking. 67 7 BLOCK E SOUTH OF BALDWIN STREET, NORTH OF LONDON STREET, WEST OF BROADWAY COMMON REFERENCE POINT: JACK'S PLACE AND THE ROYAL TAVERN COMMERCIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE: 44,860 EXISTING SPACES ON STREET: 52 PRIVATE PARKING SPACES: 30 MUNICIPAL PARKING SPACES: 79 TOTAL NUMBER OF SPACES: 161 TEST #1 Minimum Spaces Required under By-law 1994 44,860/193.75 = 231 from .existing 161 spaces = - 70 parking spaces (shortfall) TEST #2 Minimum needs for Static Soaces 44,860/500 = 89 from 30 existing private and 61 municipal lot spaces = 2 surplus parking spaces DYNAMIC TWO HOUR PARKING: Street Spaces: 52 Municipal Lot Spaces: 18 Total: 70 TOTAL STATIC MUNICIPAL. SPACES: Municipal Parking Spaces: 19 Dynamic Municipal Lot Spaces: -18 Total Static Spaces: 61 COMMENTS: Block E has a number of commercial entities that can share parking as their hours of operation are different. This is preferable to dynamic parking which is not required. ACTION: Remove the dynamic two hour restriction on the west side of Fox Alley and maintain the remaining 9 dynamic two hour spaces. This will help to accommodate the overflow demand for parking in the area without negatively impacting existing customer parking. s 68 BLOCK F SOUTH OF BRIDGE STREET, EAST OF BROADWAY, NORTH -OF RIDO[;T STREET COMMON REFERENCE POINT: TOWN CENTRE MALL PLEASE NOTE: The mall is not included in the calculations for this review as it skews the figures. The parking is managed with designated areas for employees under lease agreements and therefore no comments will be given. The parking and remaining commercial square footage will be presented for Block F. 10 spaces behind Loeb and the Zellers parking garage are limited to dynamic two hour parking. On -street parking in front of the mall on Broadway is also restricted to dynamic two hour parking.

There are few signs to indicate municipal parking and some areas, especially beside Avondale Zion United Church on Harvey Street, are visibly under-utilized. The diverse commercial mix, which includes a bank, several restaurants, retail outlets and services, requires varied parking needs. ACTION: Due to the surplus of parking, adjustments are recommended in the lot currently utilizing 19 dynamic two hour parking spaces. Increasing the number of dynamic needs two hour parking spaces would place more of the static parkers in the under-utilized parking lot beside the church, making more commercial parking closer to the commercial entities available on both sides of Broadway. There is also a need for additional handicap parking spaces in this lot. 10 BLOCK H SOUTH OF BROCK STREET EAST, EAS`r OF BROADWAY, NORTH OF OXFORD STREET.

The lot north of Ronson's TV Video and Audio has not been redeveloped since a fire destroyed the building. The vacant SAAN Store cited lack of parking as a reason for its closing. The above data indicates that there is a shortage of parking over all, but an adjustment in the dynamic two hour parking may be of benefit in managing the available spaces. Reducing the number of dynamic two hour spaces in the Municipal lot would free up the street parking for customer use. Brenda Carroll and the By-law Enforcement Officer have observed that the dynamic two hour parking spaces are not being utilized except for area business vehicles. Continued on Page 12. 71 11 BLOCK H continued Complaints have been received from the residential components about static parking being forced onto the McKenzie Street, the side street east off Oxford Street. It was generally agreed by both store operators and residents that if more all day parking spaces were available in the Block H parking lot, it would free up the more desirable on -street parking spaces for dynamic two hour customer needs. There is very little unused or readily available land to develop additional parking spaces. Both Brock Street and Oxford Street have very limited parking opportunities. Some thought should be given to examine the need for Cat Alley which connects to Oxford Street. If it were closed at Oxford Street, additional parking spaces plus green space could be created on Oxford Street. It would then be possible to develop additional private and Municipal parking. Property owners would need to be consulted as the first step to determine impact and needs. Future developments to the south may offer opportunities for additional parking. 12 72 BLOCK I EAST OF BROADWAY, SOUTH OF OXFORD STREET.

Total land area is appromnateiy 1.5 acres. or 64.500 square feet. The land use is a mix of residential along London Street and commercial developments of 37,642 square feet. Cat Alley runs down the center of Block 1. dividing it into two parcels of land. The vacancy rate is 10-594 square feet. This block is not meeting its highest potential for land use. While there is a great need for parking in Block I, it may be more prudent to develop a Master Plan for redevelopment of the entire block before the parking needs are addressed. This requires the formation of a property management group, involving the stake holders and the Municipality, with a mandate to develop a Master Plan and actively seek private sector investment in the area. 13 - ,/ 3 BLOCK J SOUTH OF LONDON STREET, EAST OF BROADWAY COMMON REFERENCE POINT: GIBSON ETC.

Due to the nature of the operation, cars are moved inandout of the service bays, creating more space than the survey indicates. No adjustments are recommend at this time, but is should be noted that if the legal non -conforming car dealership changes to another use in the future, By-law 1994 will require parking needs changes to accommodate the new use. . Existing residential component should be encouraged to seek off-street parking arrangements to accomodate their needs while complying to By-law 1994. 15 75 7 AVAILABLE HANDICAP PARKING SPACES Bl RID6UT s -.l C ' F O J 0 STREET M.- Town EY: 2 A & P, Shoppers Drug Mart O3 Zellers Underground O Post Office OOstrander Funeral Home MCXEN?IE S70. �xF�R \ST -:1 76 16 Town Space �P Private Space Ol North Lot Town Centre viall 2 A & P, Shoppers Drug Mart O3 Zellers Underground O Post Office OOstrander Funeral Home MCXEN?IE S70. �xF�R \ST -:1 76 16 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG NOTES RE: ON-SITE INSPECTION OF PARKING LOTS - MAY 28, 1997 BLOCKS A & B: BRIDGE STREET TO RIDOUT STREET, WEST OF BROADWAY.

TO: Development/Culture Committee From: Fran Bell, Economic Development Officer Re: Management Structure - Tillsonburg Airport Date: August 26, 1998 Back round: Mr. Scott MacRae has been operating the Tillsonburg Airport since the termination of the management contract with the Tillsonburg Flying Club, together with a part time person. Mr. MacRae has advised me that he is expecting to move to the United States at the end of September. In light of this recommendations need to be made to Council for the ongoing management of the airport. Options • There are two options for the management structure: a) Staff as employees of the municipality. b) Contract to a firm or individual similar to the contract with the Tillsonburg Flying Club. Airport management at other municipalities seems to be about evenly split between the two options. The advantages to Option 2 are: - the municipality has a fixed, known cost - dollars are saved in benefits - hiring of part time staff and remuneration is the responsibility of the contractor Samples of contracts used at other airports are attached for information purposes as is a copy of the 1998 contract with the Tillsonburg Flying Club.

Municipalities now have the flexibility and responsibility to determine the most appropriate means of meeting the needs of their local residents, including alternative service delivery approaches. In assessing these options, several municipalities have considered the sale or transfer of transit capital assets previously subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation. In the past, our transit program policy was to recover a provincial share upon the sale of any transit capital assets. We have been asked whether this policy will continue now that municipalities have sole funding responsibility for transit. This government believes that municipalities should have full flexibility in managing the assets at their disposal. Accordingly, I would like to confirm that the Ministry of Transportation will not require municipalities to return the province's share of the proceeds should they decide to sell or transfer transit capital assets for which subsidies were received in the past. .../2 .10 102 Made from reenvered materials Fant rte materinim reciln?res -2- I am confident that as your municipality sorts out its budgetary and planning priorities, the interests of the transit system will be carefully considered. I trust you will find our policy supportive of these efforts. cc: Transit Administrator Ernie Hardeman, MPP, Oxford 103 Yours very truly, r r G Tony Clement Minister THE LEARNING PARTNER51-1I1?

AMO President Michael Power, Joan King, AMO Vice -President, and Paul Hughes, Solicitor, Region of Ottawa -Carleton represented the Association. FACTS: AMO'sP resentation was based on the work of AN10's Task Force on Electricity Restructuring and Input from AMO members. AMO advised that while structural changes to the electricity sector should result in low cost energy for consumers, it should not jeopardize the availability of electricity to the customer, nor should it negatively impact the environment, public health or the economic strength of municipalities. If executed properly, the Government's objective of lowest possible energy prices, best service, and jobs and investment will benefit Ontario and municipalities. Some highlights of key areas of concem included-' to sell municipal a- the need of the regulator to respect local d for one-time opportunity services structure and governance electricity assets without incurring a transfer tax or economies of scale and the ability for cost based on the fair market value of the utility to savings with different service arrangements a*' ability of municipal electrical utilities and Servco and sharing of municipal functions, e.g., compete and their role as default suppliers fleet management, purchasing, meter o, need to continue rate assistance for rural and reading remote regions w restructuring of municipal electrical services r- ability of municipal electrical utilities to expand into needs to be through local decision-making areas serviced by Serveo since there is no or use of gains through Increases in payments obligation for Servco to sell distribution assets, and in lieu of property taxes to pay down w need for municipal government input to regulations Ontario Hydro's stranded debt Municipalities are seeking the flexibility and the authority to rearrange their electricity utility functions according to the criteria of consumer protection, cost effectiveness and efficiency. As directly elected and accountable decision -makers, municipal councils must have the authority to determine how to deliver the best possible service at the lowest costs to their residents and property tax payers. Moreover, the legislation must include a rational method of taxation so that the retirement of Ontario Hydro's stranded debt is not done at the expense of legitimate sources of future municipal revenues. STATUS: AMO will continue to monitor the developments of the electricity restructuring process and update members on any new developments.

The Facts: Minister Eves' address commended Ontario municipalities for achieving cost saving measures and efficiencies in governance and service delivery. The Minister reaffirmed the role of municipalities as key stakeholders in the financial stability of the economy of the Province and the economic health and stability of our communities. As such, the Minister announced that municipalities will have an increased role in a number of important community programs, and called on municipalities to offer their commitment to continue to work with the Government to ensure the success of municipal reforms. AMO delegates were encouraged by the Government's recognition of the difficulties of managing and funding new programs, and a renewal of the Government's commitment to re-evaluate Local Services Realignment. AMO views this as the first step in moving toward realization of AMO's and the Government's shared long-term objective of removing education and income -redistributive programs from the property tax base. The Minister's address included a number of initiatives designed to benefit municipalities in this transition year, to address immediate cash flow needs and to provide municipalities with "a more stable and predictable environment in which to do 1999 budget planning . These include: • The Deputy Premier, in response to a resolution adopted by the delegates to this year's conference, announced that the August 3151 deadline to appeal property assessment may be extended, to give property owners adequate time to receive final tax bills and determine whether to appeal their assessment. Although this requires legislative amendment, the Deputy Premier announced that he is willing to introduce amending legislation provided there is all -party consent to ensure speedy passage of this amendment by the House. e The Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF) payments to municipalities will be calculated on the same basis as 1998, with $600 million in CRF Funding and $75 million in Special Transition Assistance. ...12 106 09s'Z?/98 88:8S:28 EST: ASSOCIATION OF?-> AUG -26-98 WED 04:46 PM AMO Member CLERK-Tillsonburg T Page 083 FAX H0. 4169716191 P. 02 Finance Minister Addresses AMo Conference • Repayments to the Province for School 13oard remittances made on behalf of municipalities be exte ded from the current September 30 deadline to October 30, to help manage cash flow problems. • The Province will review year-end actual costs for Local Services Realignment programs against the estimates provided to municipalities in March of this year. Where municipalities experience significant shortfalls between estimated and actual costs, CRF funding allocations f his be adjusted to cover shortfalls. No reductions to 1998 allocations will occur as a result o review. • The Province will be refinancing existing social housing debt at lower interest rates, which should create up to $25 million in savings which will be passed on to municipalities. • As a result of changes to business taxation, the province will also be providing up to $25 million more in payments -in -lieu of taxes made to municipalities for Government owned or tenanted properties, beginning in 1998. Status: AMO, is encouraged by the Government's quick response to concerns which were brought forward as a result of resolutions adopted by delegates to this year's conference, including the delay ed repayment of school board remittances and consideration of an extension of the tax appeal deadline. AMO staff will monitor these issues and provide updates as necessary. AMO acknowledges the contribution of many provincial Ministers to this year's conference as an indication of the Government's willingness to address its municipal representatives in an open forum and act on recommendations received.

The Committee is seeking comments from key stakeholders, including municipalities. The pacts: The discussion paper was distributed at the AMO Conference, and is being mailed to all municipalities that receive invoices for social housing. Based on feedback during the consultation, the SHC will formulate recommendations to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding social housing reform. Municipal comments are very important in order to influence the development of appropriate recommendations to the Minister. AMO Position: AMO will make a presentation on key municipal issues to the SHC and submit a written position to the SHC. AMO's response will include the following issues: ar Clear and Direct Municipal Accountability • Municipalities must have service management responsibility for social housing as soon as possible in order to provide the necessary accountability for this $880 million program. • Accountability for social housing must be through elected councils, not third parties or special purpose bodies. In a municipally -funded and managed social housing system, there is no need to replace the Provincial Government with a province -wide body. No new province -wide organizations should be set up for the social housing system unless municipalities determine the need for these. A+- Say for Pay • Municipalities must be in a position to determine funding priorities for the range of municipal responsibilities, including housing. As such, municipalities must have the authority to periodically review provider costs with the potential of making financial adjustments as required. The proposed one-time review will not meet municipal needs in this regard. • The provincial role in determining service levels should be limited to the initial transfer period, as municipalities must have the authority to plan for the changing demographics and service needs of the residents over the Tong term. • AMO supports the repayment to municipalities for subsidies to buildings. Efforts must be made to ensure that as many providers as possible repay this loan. Any decisions regarding debt forgiveness must rest with municipal governments. • The Ontario Housing Corporation and Local Housing Authorities should be wound down and municipalities should be provided with the authority to determine the appropriate delivery mechanism for public housing. Any ownership option for public housing should provide municipalities with the option to own public housing if they choose to do so. 108 ...12 88/27/98 89:86:44 EST; ASSOCIATION OF?-> CLERK-Tillsonhum T Page 885 AUG -26-98 WED 04:47 PM AMO FAX NO. 4169716191 P. 04 Member Communication -Alert: Discussion Paper Released b the Socia! Housin Committee a- Clear Roles and Responsibilities • Municipalities must have clear authority over system management for the new social 'ons of system. it is recognized that housing providers will be responstble for the day-to-day P the housing projects within contractual arrangements with municipalities. • The provincial role in the new social housing system should be limited to functions such as setting broad standards, guaranteeing mortgages, and flowing federal funding. • Municipalities have existing infrastructures and much experience in income testing and related functions and provide responsive and accurate service. Municipal authority over income testing is expected to accompany funding responsibility. a- Maximum Local Rexibility • Flexibility in program design to adapt to local conditions recognizes the diversity of municipalities across Ontario, and the value of different approaches to satisfy needs. • Municipalities do not dispute the need for high level program standards for social housing, particularly those related to Federal requirements which ensure the flow of Federal funds. However, provincial standards must be limited and must recognize the need for municipalities to make decisions which address local circumstances and needs. • Development of standard methods of carrying out social housing administration Q.e. service contracting and reporting requirements) assumes a uniformity which does not exist across municipalities and will stifle opportunities to achieve efficiencies through the integration of administration for various services. nr Opportunities to 1mA/emenf Etficie»cies the Government has indicated that cost -savings in all areas of municipal funding and management ue neutrality �n the transfer of responsibility will be necessary in order to achieve reven responsibilities to municipal governments. Social housing is no exception. • Municipalities support the inclusion of efficiency targets as part of the benchmarking exercise in order to ensure best value for municipal funding. w Predictable, Sustainable Costs • The Province should retain contingent liability. Contingent liability is not held by the Province if principle and interest costs are passed on to municipalities in the event of a default resulting in sale for less than the outstanding value of the mortgage. Municipalities are being given responsibility for providing social housing, and will not be fulfilling this mandate if they are expected to utilize their financial resources to make payments on a government guaranteed debt. • Capital funding and reserves are a key aspect of reducing municipal financial risk and exposure. Municipalities want to ensure that social housing is transferred in a good state of repair with adequate funding of reserves in order to prevent the potential cost spikes associated with unexpected capital needs. • In the absence of true due diligence regarding the state of repair of social housing (e.g. review of each project prior to transfer), the Province should provide a guarantee that the capital cost will not exceed the amount accounted for in the Who Does What transfers and fund any costs above this amount. • Should an adequacy study be conducted regarding capital reserves for social housing, the reserves must be topped up to the necessary level prior to the transfer of funding responsibility. Action: Municipalities are strongly encouraged to provide responses to the SHC. A limited number of delegations will be taken in person by thetSHC on September 28"' (requests for delegations must be made through the MAH by September 10 ). Written submissions will be accepted Until 5:00 pm on September 24th. All written correspondence can be faxed to MMAH at (416) 585-6227. Municipalities are also asked to forward copies of their written submissions to AMO to assist in developing our presentation to the committee.

Ethnic origin refers to a person's 'roots' and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality." The County of Oxford reflects a diversified population in regards to ethnic origin with over 65 different ethnic groups represented. The ethnic background of current immigrants to Oxford County is somewhat different than that of the Ontario profile. The County has a higher percentage of immigrants in certain ethnic groups ie.
