Minutes of the Special Meeting of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Ajax Held in the Council Chambers of the Town Hall on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 6:00 p.m.

Present: Mayor - S. Parish Regional Councillor - S. Collier Councillors - M. Crawford - R. Ashby - J. Dies - P. Brown

Absent Regional Councillor - C. Jordan

1. Call to Order

Mayor Parish called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and advised that the solepurpose of this special meeting was to consider whether the Town wished to be considered eligible for funds through the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP) due to December 2013 ice storm. In order to beeligible, the province is requiring that municipal councils pass a resolution seeking assistance no later than January 14, 2014.

2. Disclosure of Pecuniary Interest

There were no disclosures of pecuniary interest.

3. Consideration of a resolution to request the Province to declare the Town of Ajax a "disaster area" to seek disaster relief assistance due to the December 2013 ice storm.

Mr. B. Skinner, Chief Administrative Officer, provided an overview of the serious impacts from the December 21/22, 2013 ice stormthat have been encountered by the Town and its residents and businesses. For the purposes of filing an ODRAP application, staff have compiled a preliminary estimate of $1,750,000.00 in cleanup and restoration costs for damages to Town property. These costs are related primarily to the removal and replacement of approximately 1,000 trees located on town boulevards, in public parks, etc. Mr. Skinner advised that this work must proceed and that it would take many, many years for the Town’s overall tree canopy to be restored.

Mr. Skinner and Mr. D. Meredith, Director of Operations and Environmental Services, responded to numerous questions posed by members of Council.

The damages and recovery costs are not eligible to be claimed through the Town’s insurance coverage; however, early consultations with provincial staff indicate that the damages experienced should be eligible for some provincial financial assistance through ODRAP. The amount of assistance will depend on the assessments made by provincial investigators and the Province’s overall plan to respond to the dozens of municipalities, in the GTA and beyond, that are seeking ODRAP funding. This financial assistance is likely available through an already funded provincial reserve.

In order to accelerate the cleanup and tree replacement, it is necessary to supplement the substantial effort being made by Town staff with additional equipment and contracted labour services.

Mr. Skinner acknowledged that the Town has existing “Tax Rate Stabilization” and “Capital Contingency” reserves that have sufficient balances to fund the entire recovery program. These reserves, however, must be replenished through future budget allocations and, most likely, surpluses. This, in turn, will cause a decrease in contributions to other important reserves that are also substantially funded by budget surpluses.

Since several municipalities in the GTA are seeking ODRAP assistance for ice storm damages. Councillors Collier, Crawford, Ashby and Brown expressed support for Ajax to do the same, as any provincial assistance will contribute to the rebuilding Town reserves that are necessary to manage future emergencies.

Councillor Brown submitted comments provi ded by the absent Councillor Jordan which expressed her concern for the damages tothe Town’s valuable tree canopy and supporting a request for ODRAP assistance.

Mayor Parish and Councillor Dies spoke against the need for the Town to seek ODRAP funding, stating that it was difficult to describe the ice storm as a “disaster” when it did not involve the loss of life and/or catastrophic damage to private property. They questioned the need to maintain stabilization reserves if compensation for events such as the ice storm will be available through ODRAP. Mayor Parish also questioned why some of the province’s wealthiest municipalities, Toronto and Mississauga in particular, would need financial assistance from senior levels of government for these events, and for other matters as well.

Moved by: R. Ashby Seconded by: P. Brown

Whereas the Town of Ajax recently experienced a severe winter ice storm December 21/22, 2013 and has experienced substantial damage to municipal property and infrastructure.

NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the council of the Town of Ajax hereby requests the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to declare the Town of Ajax a "disaster area" for the purposes of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP). CARRIED Recorded Vote: YES: Councillor Brown, Regional Councillor Collier, Councillor Crawford, Councillor Ashby NO: Councillor Dies, Mayor Parish ABSENT: Regional Councillor Jordan

Mr. Skinner and Mr. Meredith advised that more detailed reports on the Town’s response during the ice storm and long-term recovery plans would be made to the Jan 23, 2014 General Government Committee meeting.

Mayor Parish and members of Council extended their gratitude to the manyTown staff that performed tirelessly and to very high standards throughout the storm and it’s aftermath. Residents have made members of Council aware of their appreciation for the Town’s efforts as well..

4. Confirming By-Law

Moved by: S. Collier Seconded by: J. Dies

4.2 Refurbishment of the WWI Cenotaph and Gates in Memorial Park

Mr. Jeff Stewart, Manager of Environmental Services – Parks, provided background information on the Memorial Park gates and cenotaphs.

4.3 Heritage Tree Designation

Mr. Stewart presented information on the heritage designation, of a 225 year old Red Oak tree on the Ajax Waterfront, just west of Harwood Avenue South. This is the first Heritage Tree designation in Ajax. Mr. Stewart provided details of the tree, noting it was awarded to Major John Smith for his loyal service to the armed forces during the American Revolution.

Ajax resident Bill Main, worked with Town staff to research and nominate the tree through the Trees Ontario Heritage Tree Program, which recognizes trees based on their age, size, appearance, and cultural/historical significance.

Members posed several questions relative to the lifespan and health of the tree, as well as the benefit of designation. Mr. Stewart noted that the average lifespan of a Red Oak is 170 years and that this tree is inspected annually and is past its mature state. Benefits of recognition add to the awareness of the Town’s urban forest and may encourage other nominations. A permanent plaque unveiling is scheduled for Ajax Green Living Days 2014.

4.4 Waterfront Recognition

Ms. Chrus provided a letter from resident Bill Main, who requested that the Red Oak Tree at the foot of Harwood Avenue South, might qualify as a provincial or federal heritage site. Ms. Chrus indicated that this idea could be further explored through the consideration of the Ajax Waterfront as a Cultural Heritage Landscape under the Ontario Heritage Act. She reviewed the required criteria and Members discussed the option. It was also suggested that the original waterfront boundary to Pickering Beach Road be considered for recognition.

Moved By: V. Shaw Seconded By: B. Briggs

Limited information and research is available relative to Mr. Petrowski and his contributions to the Ajax community. Ms. Briggs noted that a plaque for Mr. Petrowski previously existed in the Rotary Park Pavillion and encouraged staff to speak with staff member Ms. Esther Willams (daughter of Mr. Petrowski), for more information on the plaque’s current whereabouts.

Members agreed that memorial plaques are not always the appropriate recognition for individual requests. Staff were encouraged to share information on the Town’s memorial tree/bench dedication program instead.

4.2 Enbridge’s Application to the National Energy Board re: Line 9B

Ms. Stev Andis, Senior Policy Planner, presented updated information relative to the Enbridge Application to the National Energy Board regarding Line 9B. The application proposes the reversal of flow, overall increased flow capacity, and permission to carry heavy crude in a portion of the pipeline from Westover to Montreal. The pipeline runs through the Durham Region and Town of Ajax, 13 km from the Ajax waterfront, through environmentally sensitive areas.

The Town of Ajax participated in the National Energy Board Hearing by way of a Letter of Comment. The Town of Ajax and surrounding communities are not opposed to the application itself, however have identified several concerns relative to ensuring conditions on the application such as, the location of isolation valves, access to emergency response teams, financial assurance in the event of an incident clean-up, inadequacy of inspections and potential impact to the surrounding natural environment including drinking water.

Ms. Andis reviewed the Town’s Letter of Comment, which included proposed conditions to be imposed by the National Energy Board as part of the approval. She noted that following the hearing, the National Energy Board released draft proposed conditions which address many of the concerns presented by Ajax, Enbridge is open to including the addition of an additional response team in the Mississauga area, investigating and installing additional isolation valves, develop spill response plans for major water crossings, an meeting annually with local first-responders and municipal staff.

4.3 Salt Tolerant Plants

Ms. Sue Farley, Gardener, presented information relative to various salt tolerant plantings throughout the Town of Ajax. She provided several visual examples including centre median planting and centre roundabout plantings. The root structure of prairie plans was discussed, as areas with high salt concentration mimic drought conditions for plants. Ms. Farley noted several plant varieties that perform well in such conditions, including sedums, grasses, day lilies, hostas, and hansa rose. The importance of boulevard and median planting maintenance, which occurs four times annually, and ground-level pruning was discussed. Mulch was discussed as an important element to public planting as it controls soil temperature and moisture levels, inhibits weed germination, adds nutrients to the soil and improves soil texture with decayed matter.

Members posed several questions relative to the percentage of native plant species included in boulevard and median plantings as well as the Town’s salt management plan. Members expressed the importance of incorporating native species in public planting wherever possible.

4.4 Emerald Ash Borer 2013 Update

Mr. Criag Blencowe, Urban Forestry Technician, provided an update on the management of the Emerald Ash Borer’s presence in Ajax.

The criteria for tree removal were reviewed and a summary of Ash tree removals in 2013 was discussed. Replacement plantings for two streets, Oldfield Court and Bowles Drive, were noted, after losing a significant number of trees due to the Emerald Ash Borer. Public education tactics including informational door hangers, tree–care kits, media exposure as well as presence at public events were discussed.

Members inquired why the majority of replanting on Oldfield Court and Bowles Drive were not native species. The Committee expressed concern for the mixed messaging of the Town to encourage residents to plant native species and encouraged the Town to commit to a greater percentage of native species plantings. Staff noted that policies for native species planting are included within the Urban Forest Management Plan and agreed to provide further information.

4.5 Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up

64 Regional Councillor Report

Submitted by: Shaun Collier, Regional Councillor Wards 1 & 2

Date: January 27, 2014

Finance and Administration Committee – January 14, 2014 Regional Council – January 22, 2014

Finance

The Council Rules of Procedure By-Law #47-2010 was amended to incorporate the revisions set out in Report 2014-A-2 related to the election of the Regional Chair. An elected Chair can now move motions on the floor and vote so changes to the by-law were required.

The Police Service Board requested pre-budget approval in the amount of $1,544,000 for the purchase of 52 new vehicles. These 52 vehicles are to replace existing vehicles which have reached the end of their economic lives. Pre-budget approval is required as new car orders must be placed prior to Regional Council budget approval in order to ensure the orders are produced for late spring delivery.

Council

Councillors Mitchell and O’Connell brought forward a motion to include the following as a Region wide ballot question in the 2014 municipal election;

Are you in favour of the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham taking all necessary steps to reduce the size of Regional Council by distributing the seats based on the population of each local municipality?

The question of fair representation and distribution of Councilors has been brought to the table many times throughout this term on Council under various wordings and has been debated and voted down each time. Ajax even requested that the Province force a mandatory review of the compilation but we were turned down. This time the attempt was to have the residents give their opinion on the issue. Unfortunately, the motion met the same fate as the others and was defeated on a vote of 15-9 with 4 absent. A similar question will be on the ballot in the Town of Ajax and the Town of Whitby.

65 Regional Councillor Report

Submitted by: Colleen Jordan, Regional Councillor Wards 3 & 4

Date: Jan. 27, 2014

Regional Council – Jan. 22, 2014

Notice of Motion - Referendum Question

On a vote of 15 to 9 Regional Councillors defeated the motion to place a question on the Oct. 27, 2014 ballot that would ask the electors in Durham Region whether they were in favour of taking all necessary steps to reduce the size of Council by distributing the seats based on the population of each municipality.

Numerous reports have highlighted the significantly larger ratio of Councillors per capita and subsequent costs of governance at Durham Region when compared with York and Peel. Reducing the number of Councillors could save about $660,000.00 annually while also addressing the overrepresentation of Oshawa and the northern municipalities.
