Mayor Drew Dilkens City of Windsor 350 City Hall Square West P.O. Box 1607 Windsor ON N9A 6S1

Dear Mayor Dilkens:

On July 27, 2020, as part of the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement, the Ontario government announced that it had secured up to $4 billion in emergency assistance to provide Ontario’s 444 municipalities with the support they need to respond to COVID- 19. I am writing to you today to provide further details on this funding investment.

Municipalities play a key role in delivering critical services that Ontarians rely on and are at the frontlines of a safe reopening of the economy. This investment will provide support to municipalities and public transit operators to help them address financial pressures related to COVID-19, maintain critical services and protect vulnerable people as the province safely and gradually opens. It includes: • Up to $2 billion to support municipal operating pressures, and • Up to $2 billion to support municipal transit systems.

The Honourable Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation, will provide more information on the transit stream of this funding.

I would also like to acknowledge the Federal government in their role in this historic agreement. As Premier Ford has indicated, “by working together, we have united the country in the face of the immense challenges brought on by COVID-19 and secured a historic deal with the federal government to ensure a strong recovery for Ontario and for Canada”.

Under the municipal operating stream, $1.39 billion will be available to Ontario’s municipalities to address operating pressures and local needs. This funding will be allocated in two phases: 50% allocated in Phase 1 for all municipalities, and 50% allocated in Phase 2 for municipalities that require additional funding.

The Safe Restart Agreement also includes a second phase of Social Services Relief Funding (SSRF) totalling $362 million. This is in addition to significant investments made earlier to the SSRF and in support of public health. Details will be outlined in a letter to Service Managers in the coming days.

Municipal Operating Funding Phase 1: Immediate Funding for Municipal Pressures Phase 1 of this funding will be allocated on a per household basis and I am pleased to share that the City of Windsor will receive a payment of $12,026,800 to support your COVID-19 operating costs and pressures.

Please note that your municipality is accountable for using this funding for the purpose of addressing your priority COVID-19 operating costs and pressures. If the amount of the funding exceeds your municipality’s 2020 COVID-19 operating costs and pressures, the province’s expectation is that your municipality will place the excess funding into reserves to be accessed to support COVID-19 operating costs and pressures that you may continue to incur in 2021. Your municipality will be expected to report back to the province in March 2021 with details on your 2020 COVID-19 operating costs and pressures, your overall 2020 financial position, and the use of the provincial funds in a template to be provided by the ministry. More details on this reporting will be shared in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I am requesting that your municipal treasurer sign the acknowledgement below and return the signed copy to the ministry by email by September 11, 2020 to [email protected]. Please note that we must receive this acknowledgement before making a payment to your municipality. We intend to make payments to municipalities in September, subject to finalizing details.

Phase 2: Funding for Additional Municipal Pressures I anticipate that the funding our government is providing through Phase 1 of the municipal operating stream will be sufficient to address COVID-19 costs and pressures for most municipalities. However, we recognize that some municipalities have experienced greater financial impacts arising from COVID-19 than others. As a result, we are offering a second phase of funding to those municipalities that can demonstrate that 2020 COVID-19 operating costs and pressures exceed their Phase 1 per household allocation.

To be considered for this Phase 2 funding, municipalities will be required to submit reports outlining their COVID-19 operating costs and pressures in a template to be provided by the ministry. These reports will be due by October 30, 2020. Municipalities that require additional time to submit their report are asked to reach out to their Municipal Services Office contact by October 30, 2020 to request an extension to November 6, 2020. Please note that the ministry is unable to consider municipal requests for Phase 2 funding if the municipality has not submitted its report by November 6, 2020.

2 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 38 of 291

A template for this municipal report and request for consideration for Phase 2 funding will be provided shortly and will require: 1. Information about measures the municipality has undertaken to reduce financial pressures (e.g. use of reserves, cost saving measures); 2. Explanation of how the municipality applied or plans to spend Phase 1 funding towards COVID-19 operating costs and pressures; 3. A year-end forecast of COVID-19 operating costs and pressures; 4. Actual COVID-related impacts as of the end of Q3 of the municipal fiscal year (September 30, 2020); 5. Treasurer’s statement as to accuracy of reporting; 6. Resolution of Council seeking additional funding.

Municipalities who are eligible and approved to receive funding under Phase 2 will be informed before the end of the calendar year and can expect to receive a payment in early 2021.

Our government will continue to be a champion for communities as we chart a path to a strong economic recovery. We thank all 444 Ontario municipal heads of council for their support through our negotiations with the federal government. Working together, we will ensure Ontario gets back on track.

Sincerely,

Steve Clark Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing c. Municipal Treasurer and Municipal CAO

By signing below, I acknowledge that the per household allocation of $12,026,800 is provided to the City of Windsor for the purpose of assisting with COVID-19 costs and pressures and that the province expects any funds not required for this purpose in 2020 will be put into reserves to support potential COVID-19 costs and pressures in 2021. I further acknowledge that the City of Windsor is expected to report back to the province on 2020 COVID-19 costs and pressures and the use of this funding.

August 12, 2020

Drew Dilkens Mayor, City of Windsor 350 City Hall Square P.O. Box 1607 Windsor ON N9A 6S1

Dear Drew Dilkens:

I am writing to provide you with details regarding the $150 million in new provincial funding announced by Premier Ford and myself on July 2, 2020, and the additional $212 million of funding announced on August 12, 2020 as part of the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement for a total of $362 million.

These funds will be made available as part of a second phase of funding under the Social Services Relief Fund (SSRF), and increase the government’s total SSRF investment for Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators to $510 million.

I would like to acknowledge the Federal government in their role in this historic agreement. As Premier Ford has indicated, “by working together, we have united the country in the face of the immense challenges brought on by COVID-19 and secured a historic deal with the federal government to ensure a strong recovery for Ontario and for Canada”.

Protecting the health and well-being of all Ontarians continues to be our government’s number one priority. We appreciate your efforts to assist vulnerable people in your communities throughout the COVID-19 outbreak and understand that additional assistance is needed to meet ongoing needs, including for those struggling to pay rent. Long-term housing solutions is also a priority under SSRF Phase 2, and we encourage investments in this area to allow for greater resiliency for future pandemic waves and emergencies.

To ensure SSRF Phase 2 funding is targeted to where it is needed most, the Ministry will hold back a portion of the total SSRF Phase 2 funding from funding allocations and will determine how to allocate it in the coming months based on public health needs.

1

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 40 of 291 I am pleased to inform you that under SSRF Phase 2 City of Windsor will be eligible to receive an initial planning allocation of $4,475,031 in 2020-21.

In addition, and in light of the increasing pressures being experienced by Service Managers, you will receive the remainder of your initial SSRF funding, upon the Ministry receiving a full copy of this letter with the sign-back section completed and signed.

Below are additional details about the SSRF Phase 2 funding.

Business Case Process

Prior to receiving SSRF Phase 2 funds, you will be required to submit a business case to the Ministry. The business case process will provide an opportunity to outline how your initial planning allocation will be used, and will assist the Ministry in ensuring that funds are being directed to communities most in need.

Business cases will be reviewed by an inter-ministerial working group, which will make recommendations on funding decisions. Your initial planning allocation could be subject to change based on COVID-19 needs and emerging public health emergencies across the province, which may result in the re-allocation of funds between service areas. Following the review process, you will be notified of your approved SSRF Phase 2 funding allocation.

The business case template is available through the Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON) system, and must be completed and submitted to the Ministry via TPON by September 11, 2020.

Program Details

Similar to the initial SSRF funding provided to you in April 2020, SSRF Phase 2 funding will flow through the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI). For funding provided under SSRF Phase 2, amendments to the CHPI Program Guidelines are set out in the attached Addendum B (SSRF Phase 2 Program Guidelines).

Please note that this funding is in addition to your base 2020-21 CHPI allocation, which the Ministry previously communicated to you on April 17, 2019, and the initial SSRF funding. There will be no change to the program administration or payment process for payments under CHPI.

SSRF Phase 2 will include an operating component and two new capital components. Please refer to the SSRF Phase 2 Program Guidelines for details on eligible use of funding and project approval process.

The objectives of the SSRF Phase 2 funding are to: 1. Mitigate ongoing risk for vulnerable people, especially in congregate settings; 2. Encourage long-term housing-based solutions to homelessness post-COVID-19; and

2

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 41 of 291 3. Enhance rent assistance provided to households in rent arrears due to COVID-19.

In recognition of the costs you are facing, funding provided under SSRF Phase 2 may be used to offset eligible costs incurred on or after July 2, 2020. The Ministry will require Service Managers to submit an interim report in mid-December on the use of SSRF Phase 2 funds and projected spending.

Approved funding allocations may be subject to re-allocation or adjustment if funds cannot be spent this fiscal year based on the business case and reporting. Details on payment and reporting information can be found in the Program Guidelines for SSRF Phase 2, which are added as Addendum B to the CHPI Guidelines.

This amendment forms part of your Service Manager Service Agreement (“Agreement”) and any breach of any of the terms of the Guidelines shall constitute an Event of Default under the Agreement. All other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.

You are required to sign this letter and return it to the Ministry to confirm your agreement to the terms and conditions of SSRF Phase 2 and to receive the remainder of your initial SSRF funding.

You may submit your signed confirmation via e-mail to:

Jim Adams, Director of the Housing Programs Branch Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing [email protected]

Thank you to those who participated in confidential consultation sessions, which were organized by Ontario Municipal Social Services Association (OMSSA) to inform the design of the Program Guidelines and business case. I look forward to continuing our work together as we serve the people of Ontario.

Sincerely,

Steve Clark Minister

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 44 of 291 Schedule “B” SSRF Phase 2 Business Case Template Introduction

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Social Services Relief Fund (SSRF) Phase 2 initiative. As noted in the initial planning allocation letter from The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Service Managers are required to submit a business case to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) prior to funding being flowed.

The purpose of the business case process is as follows:

1. To assess Service Managers’ proposed uses of SSRF Phase 2 funding, in terms of eligibility under Program Guidelines, and alignment with local needs in their respective communities; and

2. To ensure that Service Managers’ program delivery planning fulfills specific criteria and reflects consideration of intersecting service systems and issues (see Questions on pages 6-16).

Please submit your completed business case to MMAH by September 11, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Business cases must be submitted through the Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON) system.

Please note, MMAH is not prescribing a specific level of authority to approve business cases. Service Managers should follow their respective organization’s approval process to approve the business case, prior to submitting it to the Ministry. Please also note that Service Manager approval does not guarantee that the business case will be satisfactory to meet the objectives for additional funding.

The level of detail required in responding to each question should be scaled against the types of activities being proposed. For example, fewer details would be needed to propose operating expenses being used to expand existing services for vulnerable people, in comparison to a new and large-scale capital expense (e.g., acquisition or modular housing) being proposed.

MMAH staff will review all business cases received by the deadline with colleagues from the following ministries: Attorney General (MAG); Government and Consumer Services (MGCS); Solicitor General (SOLGEN); Children, Community, and Social Services (MCCSS); Health (MOH); Indigenous Affairs (IAO); and Infrastructure Ontario (IO).

This inter-ministerial approach aims to encourage a diversity of perspectives when reviewing submissions, and to ensure that business cases are consistent with key areas of focus across the health, housing and homelessness, and social services sectors. For more information about the Key Areas of Consideration, please see pages 3-4.

2

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 45 of 291 Schedule “B” SSRF Phase 2 Business Case Template

It is anticipated that every Service Manager will be notified of the final decision regarding their business case by early October 2020, with initial funding anticipated to flow shortly thereafter.

Initial planning allocations for SSRF Phase 2 funding are subject to business case review. MMAH reserves the right to adjust allocations based on: the business cases received; Service Managers’ progress in using their SSRF Phase 2 allocation; and to ensure that SSRF Phase 2 funding aligns with ongoing COVID-19 related needs, and the potential for emerging or new public health emergencies across Ontario.

To ensure SSRF Phase 2 funding is targeted to where it is needed most, MMAH will hold back a portion of the total SSRF Phase 2 funding from funding allocations, and will determine how to allocate it in the coming months based on public health needs.

Service Managers should consider the objectives and performance indicators as outlined in the Program Guidelines when completing their business case.

SSRF Phase 2 will include an operating component and two new capital components. Please refer to the SSRF Phase 2 Program Guidelines for details on eligible uses of funding and the project approval process.

Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions

As noted above, business cases will be reviewed by staff from several provincial ministries, who will examine submissions to ensure that they consider key areas of focus for the health, housing and homelessness, and social services sectors. These key areas are as follows: o Providing assistance to vulnerable members of communities across the province, including: people who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless; low-income households; social assistance recipients; people without jobs; households who depend on housing supports to maintain stable housing; people whose financial situation is precarious due to the COVID-19 crisis; people who live in community and supportive housing; and people who depend on social services to meet their basic needs.

▪ Some populations, such as racialized communities, youth, seniors, survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking and LGBT2SQ, may be particularly vulnerable and therefore may warrant special consideration in the development of business cases.

▪ For more information about vulnerable populations, please see Ontario’s COVID- 19 Action Plan for Vulnerable People available at: https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-action-plan-protecting-vulnerable- ontarians.

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 46 of 291 Schedule “B” SSRF Phase 2 Business Case Template o Assisting social service providers (e.g., Violence Against Women (VAW) services) with accommodation and support services, which are presently at capacity due to physical distancing requirements (this is resulting in vulnerable populations turning to local housing and homelessness systems). o Promoting the re-design of congregate care settings such as emergency shelters, to move away from traditional approaches (e.g., bunk beds, shared common areas, close spacing) towards more permanent/independent housing solutions that better allow for physical distancing and other measures to protect the safety and well-being of residents and staff. Capital projects such as acquisition, conversion, and modular home developments are in scope for this funding. For more information, please refer to the Program Guidelines. o Promoting cost effectiveness of service delivery in congregate care settings (e.g., renting space versus owning a building in order to provide services and supports, or vice versa, as well as the cost effectiveness of permanent housing versus emergency shelters). o Supporting the housing needs of individuals released into the community from provincial institutions (e.g., health institutions, correctional facilities, and the child welfare system), where some individuals may be at risk of entering into homelessness. o Supporting renter households (e.g., rental assistance), who may be in rental arrears and at a high risk of becoming homeless. o Providing culturally responsive and appropriate housing and homelessness supports to Indigenous people.

▪ Indigenous populations are over-represented among those experiencing homelessness and are more likely to experience health conditions that may increase vulnerability to COVID-19, particularly in high-risk congregate care settings such as emergency shelters.

▪ There is also a significant demand for Indigenous safe spaces for temporary housing, testing, self-isolation, and recovery from COVID-19, including within rural and urban settings.

Description of Evaluation Ratings for Questions

In the event of significant changes to the public health environment, the Ministry reserves the right to revise allocations in order to address emergency/critical situations.

Responses will be evaluated using a qualitative approach, in order to confirm initial planning allocations, and will rate submissions as “satisfactory”, “needs more detail”, or “unsatisfactory”.

Satisfactory: Responses fully address the information requested in each question, and clearly demonstrate a link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions” criteria. Evidence is also provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document). Evaluators have few or no follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of a satisfactory business case is to seek clarification on a few

5

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 48 of 291 Schedule “B” SSRF Phase 2 Business Case Template questions during the review process, if applicable, confirmation of the initial planning allocation, and flowing of funds as originally communicated in the Minister’s allocation letter.

Needs More Detail: Responses partially address the information requested in each question, and partially demonstrate a link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions”. Some evidence is provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document), however not a complete amount. Evaluators have some follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of a business case which needs more detail is to seek more information and clarification during the review process from the Service Manager prior to flowing funds as originally communicated in the Minister’s allocation letter.

Unsatisfactory: Responses do not satisfactorily address the information requested in each question, and do not demonstrate a compelling link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions”. Little to no evidence is provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document). Evaluators have a significant number of follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of an unsatisfactory business case is to seek more information and clarification during the review process from the Service Manager and consider adjusting the initial planning allocation.

Business Case Questions

In responding to the questions below, Service Managers encouraged to make references to:

o Independent research; o Council and Board reports; o Strategic planning documents; o Media reports; o Anticipated cashflow requirements; and o COVID-19 data, guidelines, and enforcement requirements issued from local public health units, as appropriate

Please be clear and concise in your responses in the business case in order to minimize the amount of follow-up required. If more space is required, a separate document may be submitted as an appendix to the business case submission. The level of detail required in responding to each question will depend on the type and scale of activities being proposed. For example, fewer details would be needed to propose operating expenses being used to expand existing services for vulnerable people, in comparison to a new and/or large-scale capital expense (e.g., acquisition and modular housing) being proposed.

Addendum B to the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative Program Guidelines Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Program Guidelines – Social Services Relief Fund Phase 2

1 Introduction

The housing and homelessness sectors in Ontario have had to alter the ways in which they provide services to vulnerable populations due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Social Services Relief Fund (SSRF) Phase 2 will provide $362 million in provincial and federal funding (federal funding through the Safe Restart Agreement) to help a diverse range of vulnerable people, create longer-term housing solutions for people in need, and ensure that the housing and homelessness sector has the tools and support that they need to safely and successfully transition to recovery.

SSRF Phase 2 builds on the province’s initial $200 million investment under the Social Services Relief Fund announced on March 23, 2020. The initial SSRF was a shared initiative between the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) and the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), with funding provided under two streams: 1. $148 million in block funding provided to Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators to support municipalities and organizations that administer social services in their response to the COVID-19 outbreak (administered by MMAH); and 2. $52 million to individuals in financial crisis with no access to other supports, and those currently on social assistance requiring additional resources (administered by the MCCSS and delivery partners).

The initial SSRF was intended to support a range of vulnerable populations, including people living in community housing, supportive housing, people with low incomes, social assistance recipients, and others who require social services support as well as those experiencing homelessness.

Phase 2 brings the total SSRF investment for Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators to $510 million (i.e., $148 million in initial SSRF funding announced on March 23, 2020, $150 million in SSRF funding announced on July 2, 2020, and $212 million in additional SSRF funding announced on August 12, 2020).

Page 1 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 60 of 291

SSRF Phase 2 builds on the support being delivered as part of the COVID-19 Action Plan to Protect Vulnerable Ontarians and will help Ontario safely restart its economy and become more resilient to future waves of COVID-19, which are key priorities of the federal funding under the Safe Restart Agreement.

The objectives for SSRF Phase 2 as are follows: 1. Mitigate ongoing risk for vulnerable people, especially in congregate care settings: o Where appropriate, support changes to the physical design of congregate spaces, permit physical distancing and other modifications based on public health guidance; and o Provide ongoing services and supports to address immediate pandemic needs of vulnerable people. 2. Encourage longer-term housing-based solutions to homelessness post- COVID-19: o Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators are encouraged to use funding in ways that create longer-term housing solutions, move towards client service models that are innovative, and support client and organizational readiness for potential future outbreaks or emergencies. 3. Enhance rent assistance provided to households in rent arrears due to COVID-19: o Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators are encouraged to consider using funding to support renter households who may be in rental arrears and at a high risk of becoming homeless.

MMAH will again be administering this investment to Service Managers through distinct components of the existing Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI) Service Agreement.

1.1 Allocations

For SSRF Phase 2, all Service Managers will be provided with an initial planning allocation.

Prior to funds being flowed and allocations confirmed, Service Managers will be required to submit a business case to demonstrate how their initial planning allocations will be used to meet the objectives of the program.

The $362 million in new funding is being allocated to Service Managers and Indigenous Program Administrators as follows:

Page 2 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 61 of 291

• Five per cent for Indigenous Program Administrators: • Remaining funds will be distributed to Service Managers. Approximately 30 per cent of the funding set aside for Service Managers will be held back, to be allocated after the third quarter of the 2020-21 fiscal year. The ministry will determine how to allocate these funds based on how the public health situation unfolds in the coming months and interim reporting from Service Managers.

SSRF Phase 2 funding is in addition to Service Managers’ base CHPI funding. It is also in addition to funding provided under the Temporary Pandemic Pay Program and SSRF Phase 1.

This funding investment may be used to offset eligible costs incurred on or after July 2, 2020.

1.2 Reallocation

MMAH reserves the right to reallocate funding at its sole discretion based on: a review and evaluation of business cases, consideration of COVID-19 related needs and emerging public health emergencies across the province, and/or the Service Manager’s or Indigenous Program Administrator’s progress towards use of the SSRF Phase 2 allocations.

1.3 Business Case Submission

As mentioned above, Service Managers will be required to submit a business case to demonstrate how their initial planning allocations would be used.

The purpose of the business case process is as follows: 1. To assess proposed uses of SSRF Phase 2 funding, in terms of eligibility under these Program Guidelines and alignment with local needs in their respective communities; and 2. To help ensure that program delivery planning fulfills specific criteria and reflects consideration of intersecting service systems and issues.

The Business Case Template which includes the business case criteria is attached as Schedule “B”. The deadline to submit business cases to MMAH through the Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON) system is September 11, 2020.

MMAH will review and approve all or part of each business case with assistance from partner ministries, taking into consideration matters including community needs and spending forecasts, as well as to assess the proposed value for money. MMAH may

Page 3 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 62 of 291

seek clarification and/or additional information from the Service Managers during the review process.

The following ministries will take part in an inter-ministerial working group to review the business cases along with MMAH: • Ministry of the Attorney General (MAG); Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS); Ministry of the Solicitor General (SOLGEN); Ministry of Children, Community, and Social Services (MCCSS); Ministry of Health (MOH); Ministry of Indigenous Affairs (IAO); and Infrastructure Ontario (IO).

The business cases should aim to demonstrate how SSRF Phase 2 funding will be used to respond to local needs related to COVID-19 and include details on how the plan addresses the following criteria: • Supports public health guidance and promotes resiliency in the event of future outbreak waves; • Meets the short-term critical and diverse needs of various communities (e.g., Indigenous communities, clients discharged from correctional facilities, youth, seniors, those at risk of homelessness who require rent assistance and other vulnerable population groups); • Aligns with broader service systems (e.g., emergency shelters and unsheltered needs such as encampments; supportive and transitional housing; discharge planning from correctional facilities to avoid homelessness; Violence Against Women and victim services systems); • Aligns with the communities’ long-term housing and homelessness goals, including building resiliency within their system to advance permanent housing solutions to homelessness or those at risk of homelessness; • Supports renter households (e.g., rental assistance), who may be in rental arrears and at a high risk of becoming homeless; and • Considers uptake of initial SSRF funding.

Service Managers are encouraged to use a variety of information sources in completing their business cases, such as: independent research; Council and Board reports; strategic planning documents; media reports; anticipated cashflow requirements; and COVID-19 data, guidelines, and enforcement requirements issued from local public health units, as appropriate.

1.4 Program Administration and Flexibility

Service Managers will determine local needs and distribute the funding consistent with approved business cases, ensuring people are receiving the support they need.

There will be no requirement for a minimum or maximum amount of capital and/or operating expenses – Service Managers are best placed to determine local needs and will be provided the flexibility to determine these amounts in their business case.

Page 4 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 63 of 291

However, no changes can be made between capital and operating components after January 31, 2021, except under exceptional circumstances. 1.5 Administration Fees

Service Managers will be permitted to use up to three (3) per cent of their approved funding allocation for administration costs.

Program administration costs may include costs for staff involved in the planning and administration of the program. It is expected that Service Managers will ensure that program administration funds are used efficiently.

Please note that costs for staff who directly deliver services to clients are not considered administration costs under the Program Guidelines. These costs are instead considered as eligible program operating costs and may be reported as such.

1.6 Accountability and Reporting

To help inform allocation of the “hold back”, Service Managers are required to submit an interim report by December 15, 2020 on use of SSRF Phase 2 funds and projected spending.

As part of the quarterly reporting requirements, Service Managers will be required to report actual expenditures for the previous financial quarter and revised projections for subsequent quarters by the relevant spending category by January 31, 2020.

In addition, for year-end reports, Service Managers will be required to report on the data collected on specific performance indicators.

Reporting under the SSRF Phase 2 will be separate from the reporting on base CHPI funding, as well as the initial SSRF funding and Temporary Pandemic Pay.

MMAH reserves the right to request additional reporting as required.

1.7 Audits and Reviews

The Service Manager shall support MMAH in exercising its rights to audit and inspect the Service Manager to ensure program funding is used in compliance with these Program Guidelines as is set out in section 17 of the Service Manager’s CHPI Transfer Payment Agreement, with the necessary changes.

Page 5 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 64 of 291

2 Operating Funding

2.1 Objectives

The intention of SSRF Phase 2 operating funding is to continue to help a diverse range of vulnerable people to meet short-term critical needs, including people living in community housing, supportive housing, people with low incomes, social assistance recipients, or others who require social services support as well as those that are experiencing homelessness.

2.2 Eligible Use of Funding

All eligible operating expenses under the initial SSRF funding will be maintained under SSRF Phase 2. A wide variety of services and supports are eligible for funding.

Service Managers are required to consider the use of operating funding for rental assistance to support renter households who may be in rental arrears and at a high risk of becoming homeless, and to describe how they intend to support this in their business case.

Eligible operating expenses refer to the use of funding in any of the four service categories under CHPI: Emergency Shelter Solutions, Housing and Related Supports, Other Services and Supports and Homelessness Prevention.

The eligible operating expenses include but are not limited to: • Building homeless shelter capacity; • Use of motels or hotels as isolation centres or to support social distancing; • Rental assistance such as funding for rent arrears and short-term housing allowances; • Transportation costs; • Food and supplies; • Enhanced cleaning services; • Non-medical staffing requirements (e.g., enhanced outreach services); • Personal protective equipment; and • Minor retrofits, alterations and repairs under $50,000 that do not extend the useful life of pre-existing buildings or assets.

More broadly, this funding could also be used towards initiatives delivered through local service agencies like: • Rent bank and emergency energy funds; • Food banks and grocery gift cards; • Community outreach to support vulnerable populations in self-isolation;

Page 6 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 65 of 291

• Transportation for low-income individuals to get to and from medical appointments; and • Funding administration needs, including staffing. In the event of uncertainty regarding the eligibility of a specific expense, Service Managers are encouraged to contact MMAH staff to seek clarification. For contact information, please see the “MMAH Staff Contacts” section.

2.3 Operating Payments and Reporting

Following the approval of SSRF Phase 2 business cases, MMAH will provide an initial payment of up to 75 per cent of operating funding to Service Managers based on projections in their approved business cases.

A subsequent operating payment will be made following the submission and approval of the Interim Report and attestation.

Service Managers will be required to report on the data collected on specific performance indicators in year-end reports. For the operating component, the year-end report will capture information according to the requirements in the existing program agreement (e.g., by service category). Additionally, given the SSRF objectives, year- end reports will require information on the number of vulnerable households assisted by vulnerable population group.

MMAH reserves the right to request additional reporting as required.

2.4 Return of Funding

All eligible operating expenses must be spent by March 31, 2021.

All funding provided under the operating component that is not spent by March 31, 2021 or that is not used for an eligible expense under these Program Guidelines shall be returned to MMAH on demand.

All remedies under these Program Guidelines shall survive any termination or expiry of the Program.

3 Capital Funding

3.1 Objectives

Under SSRF Phase 2, capital costs will be permitted as a new area of eligible expenses. Capital funding would enable the acquisition of new, or modifications to existing facilities such as emergency shelters, supportive housing, transitional housing, and related facilities.

The objectives under this component, which includes the attached Schedule “A”, are:

• To provide longer-term housing-based solutions to homelessness post-COVID- 19 outbreak; • To better address need and to encourage movement toward client service models that are innovative, and seek to support client and organizational readiness in preparation for potential future outbreaks or emergencies; and • To change the physical design of congregate care settings such as emergency shelters, to permit elements such as physical distancing and self-contained bedrooms and washrooms.

3.2 Eligible Use of Funding

There are two components of major capital funding: • New Facilities; and • Retrofits and Upgrades.

Eligible uses of funding under the two components include: • Major retrofits and upgrades to an existing Service Manager-administered emergency shelter, over-flow shelter, and/or congregate living space to help ensure shelter spaces adhere to public health directives (e.g., additions to an existing facility to allow minimum spacing of beds; self-contained bedrooms and washrooms) and support independent units aligned with more permanent forms of housing where possible; • Purchase of a hotel, motel or other facility that would be converted/upgraded to provide longer-term housing solutions; and • Retrofit of existing Service Manager-administered transitional or supportive housing facility, and/or creating new innovative models of transitional and supportive housing.

Other eligible costs may include labour, applicable taxes, building permits, legal fees, certificates, appraisal fees, inspection fees, drawing and specification and any other costs that the Service Manager deems reasonable and that are agreed to by MMAH.

Page 8 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 67 of 291

Ongoing operating costs associated with capital projects will be the responsibility of Service Managers.

For-profit proponents may be eligible under the Retrofits and Upgrades component, however for-profit proponents are not eligible under the Capital Funding – New Facilities component.

3.3 Funding Commitment

Funding under the capital component must be committed by January 31, 2021 and must be spent by December 31, 2021. Details on commitment and spending requirements are provided under each capital component section.

Any funding remaining to be committed after January 31, 2021 may be reallocated to another Service Manager or Indigenous Program Administrator.

3.4 Return of Funding

All funding provided under the capital component that is not spent by December 31, 2021 or that is not used for an eligible capital expense under these Guidelines shall be returned to MMAH on demand. All remedies under these Program Guidelines shall survive any termination or expiry of the Program and/or funding for a project.

3.5 Capital Funding – New Facilities

3.5.1 General Eligible Activities and Costs

Eligible projects must be one of the following: • Acquisition and, where required, rehabilitation of existing buildings to meet program objectives; • Conversion of an existing property to create transitional housing or permanent supportive housing and/or expanding an existing facility; • Expansion or enhancement of a construction project in-progress to increase capacity; or • Modular housing*.

New conventional construction projects not currently under construction are not anticipated to be eligible given the timelines of SSRF Phase 2. However, these and other projects may be considered with supporting documentation, at the discretion of MMAH.

Page 9 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 68 of 291

*For additional clarity, modular housing is typically considered a faster construction option than conventional, new construction methods. Self-contained permanent housing units are prefabricated in a factory and then transported to the site and assembled. This option may also require the on-site construction of such things as, for example, common space, elevators, laundry, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sewage, etc. Supportive housing services may also be provided in modular housing.

3.5.2 Project Submission Process

Service Managers will solicit proposals and select projects through appropriate procurement processes to recommend to MMAH for funding approval within their allocations.

Recommended projects shall: • Be approved by council and/or board; • Be able to sign a Contribution Agreement along with an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (acquisition projects) or registration of mortgage security or an alternate form of security (modular housing projects) no later than January 31, 2021; • In the case of acquisition projects, have a closing date on or before March 31, 2021; • Commence construction, acquisition, rehabilitation and/or conversion within ninety (90) days of the date of commitment; • Be completed by December 31, 2021; • Meet the current Ontario Building Code, public health, and other applicable requirements; • Include information on how the on-going operating financial requirements for the project will be met; and • Address local housing/homelessness needs.

All projects must be submitted through the TPON system along with additional project background information such as information contained in Council/board reports. Service Managers should demonstrate a plan on how the on-going operating financial requirements for the project will be met (e.g., alternate sources of funding).

3.5.3 Project Approval Process

Project approval will be based on alignment with the approved business case, consideration of the information submitted to MMAH and the ability to meet the program’s eligibility criteria.

Once approved, a project will receive a Conditional Letter of Commitment from MMAH, which confirms MMAH approval and outlines the steps to take prior to signing a Contribution Agreement.

Page 10 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 69 of 291

The Contribution Agreement shall describe legal obligations and reporting requirements for the project. All Service Managers are required to enter into Contribution Agreements directly with proponents and shall require the forgivable loan to be secured through a mortgage or alternate form of security.

The deadline to commit funding – i.e., execute Contribution Agreements and submit executed Agreements of Purchase and Sale (for acquisition projects), registration of mortgage security or an alternate form of security (for modular housing projects) – will be January 31, 2021, to allow time for reprofiling between operating and capital funding, or reallocation of funds if necessary.

MMAH reserves the right to return a project application for revision and resubmission if it is not consistent with the Program Guidelines.

3.5.4 Funding

Funding under the Capital Funding – New Facilities component must be provided as a secured forgivable capital loan.

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Social Services Relief Fund (SSRF) Phase 2 initiative. As noted in the initial planning allocation letter from The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Service Managers are required to submit a business case to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) prior to funding being flowed.

The purpose of the business case process is as follows:

1. To assess Service Managers’ proposed uses of SSRF Phase 2 funding, in terms of eligibility under Program Guidelines, and alignment with local needs in their respective communities; and

2. To ensure that Service Managers’ program delivery planning fulfills specific criteria and reflects consideration of intersecting service systems and issues (see Questions on pages 6-16).

Please submit your completed business case to MMAH by September 11, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Business cases must be submitted through the Transfer Payment Ontario (TPON) system.

Please note, MMAH is not prescribing a specific level of authority to approve business cases. Service Managers should follow their respective organization’s approval process to approve the business case, prior to submitting it to the Ministry. Please also note that Service Manager approval does not guarantee that the business case will be satisfactory to meet the objectives for additional funding.

The level of detail required in responding to each question should be scaled against the types of activities being proposed. For example, fewer details would be needed to propose operating expenses being used to expand existing services for vulnerable people, in comparison to a new and large-scale capital expense (e.g., acquisition or modular housing) being proposed.

MMAH staff will review all business cases received by the deadline with colleagues from the following ministries: Attorney General (MAG); Government and Consumer Services (MGCS); Solicitor General (SOLGEN); Children, Community, and Social Services (MCCSS); Health (MOH); Indigenous Affairs (IAO); and Infrastructure Ontario (IO).

This inter-ministerial approach aims to encourage a diversity of perspectives when reviewing submissions, and to ensure that business cases are consistent with key areas of focus across the health, housing and homelessness, and social services sectors. For more information about the Key Areas of Consideration, please see pages 3-4.

Page 27 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 86 of 291

It is anticipated that every Service Manager will be notified of the final decision regarding their business case by early October 2020, with initial funding anticipated to flow shortly thereafter.

Initial planning allocations for SSRF Phase 2 funding are subject to business case review. MMAH reserves the right to adjust allocations based on: the business cases received; Service Managers’ progress in using their SSRF Phase 2 allocation; and to ensure that SSRF Phase 2 funding aligns with ongoing COVID-19 related needs, and the potential for emerging or new public health emergencies across Ontario.

To ensure SSRF Phase 2 funding is targeted to where it is needed most, MMAH will hold back a portion of the total SSRF Phase 2 funding from funding allocations, and will determine how to allocate it in the coming months based on public health needs.

Service Managers should consider the objectives and performance indicators as outlined in the Program Guidelines when completing their business case.

SSRF Phase 2 will include an operating component and two new capital components. Please refer to the SSRF Phase 2 Program Guidelines for details on eligible uses of funding and the project approval process.

Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions

As noted above, business cases will be reviewed by staff from several provincial ministries, who will examine submissions to ensure that they consider key areas of focus for the health, housing and homelessness, and social services sectors. These key areas are as follows: o Providing assistance to vulnerable members of communities across the province, including: people who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless; low-income households; social assistance recipients; people without jobs; households who depend on housing supports to maintain stable housing; people whose financial situation is precarious due to the COVID-19 crisis; people who live in community and supportive housing; and people who depend on social services to meet their basic needs.

▪ Some populations, such as racialized communities, youth, seniors, survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking and LGBT2SQ, may be particularly vulnerable and therefore may warrant special consideration in the development of business cases.

▪ For more information about vulnerable populations, please see Ontario’s COVID- 19 Action Plan for Vulnerable People available at: https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-action-plan-protecting-vulnerable- ontarians.

Page 28 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 87 of 291

o Assisting social service providers (e.g., Violence Against Women (VAW) services) with accommodation and support services, which are presently at capacity due to physical distancing requirements (this is resulting in vulnerable populations turning to local housing and homelessness systems). o Promoting the re-design of congregate care settings such as emergency shelters, to move away from traditional approaches (e.g., bunk beds, shared common areas, close spacing) towards more permanent/independent housing solutions that better allow for physical distancing and other measures to protect the safety and well-being of residents and staff. Capital projects such as acquisition, conversion, and modular home developments are in scope for this funding. For more information, please refer to the Program Guidelines. o Promoting cost effectiveness of service delivery in congregate care settings (e.g., renting space versus owning a building in order to provide services and supports, or vice versa, as well as the cost effectiveness of permanent housing versus emergency shelters). o Supporting the housing needs of individuals released into the community from provincial institutions (e.g., health institutions, correctional facilities, and the child welfare system), where some individuals may be at risk of entering into homelessness. o Supporting renter households (e.g., rental assistance), who may be in rental arrears and at a high risk of becoming homeless. o Providing culturally responsive and appropriate housing and homelessness supports to Indigenous people.

▪ Indigenous populations are over-represented among those experiencing homelessness and are more likely to experience health conditions that may increase vulnerability to COVID-19, particularly in high-risk congregate care settings such as emergency shelters.

▪ There is also a significant demand for Indigenous safe spaces for temporary housing, testing, self-isolation, and recovery from COVID-19, including within rural and urban settings.

Description of Evaluation Ratings for Questions

In the event of significant changes to the public health environment, the Ministry reserves the right to revise allocations in order to address emergency/critical situations.

Responses will be evaluated using a qualitative approach, in order to confirm initial planning allocations, and will rate submissions as “satisfactory”, “needs more detail”, or “unsatisfactory”.

Satisfactory: Responses fully address the information requested in each question, and clearly demonstrate a link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions” criteria. Evidence is also provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document). Evaluators have few or no follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of a satisfactory business case is to seek clarification on a few

Page 30 of 41 Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 89 of 291

questions during the review process, if applicable, confirmation of the initial planning allocation, and flowing of funds as originally communicated in the Minister’s allocation letter.

Needs More Detail: Responses partially address the information requested in each question, and partially demonstrate a link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions”. Some evidence is provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document), however not a complete amount. Evaluators have some follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of a business case which needs more detail is to seek more information and clarification during the review process from the Service Manager prior to flowing funds as originally communicated in the Minister’s allocation letter.

Unsatisfactory: Responses do not satisfactorily address the information requested in each question, and do not demonstrate a compelling link to the “Key Areas of Consideration for Business Case Submissions”. Little to no evidence is provided to reinforce each response (e.g., reference to a source document). Evaluators have a significant number of follow-up questions for the Service Manager. The end result of an unsatisfactory business case is to seek more information and clarification during the review process from the Service Manager and consider adjusting the initial planning allocation.

Business Case Questions

In responding to the questions below, Service Managers encouraged to make references to:

o Independent research; o Council and Board reports; o Strategic planning documents; o Media reports; o Anticipated cashflow requirements; and o COVID-19 data, guidelines, and enforcement requirements issued from local public health units, as appropriate

Please be clear and concise in your responses in the business case in order to minimize the amount of follow-up required. If more space is required, a separate document may be submitted as an appendix to the business case submission. The level of detail required in responding to each question will depend on the type and scale of activities being proposed. For example, fewer details would be needed to propose operating expenses being used to expand existing services for vulnerable people, in comparison to a new and/or large-scale capital expense (e.g., acquisition and modular housing) being proposed.

Mayor Drew Dilkins City of Windsor 350 City Hall Square, PO Box 1607 Windsor ON N9A 6S1

Dear Mayor Dilkins:

Municipalities play a key role in delivering services that people across Ontario rely on and are the frontlines of a safe reopening of the economy. Our government recognizes that municipalities have sustained significant financial pressures as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and need financial support to ensure they can continue to deliver important services while minimizing the spread of COVID-19.

On July 27, 2020, as part of the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement, the Ontario government announced that it had secured up to $4 billion in one-time emergency assistance to provide Ontario’s 444 municipalities with the support they need to respond to COVID-19 and deliver the critical services people rely on every day.

This investment will provide support to municipalities and municipal transit systems to help them deal with financial pressures related to COVID-19, maintain critical services and protect vulnerable people as the province safely and gradually opens. It includes: • Up to $2 billion to support municipal operating pressures; and • Up to $2 billion to support municipal transit systems.

The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, will provide more information on the funding to support municipal operating pressures.

Up to $2 billion will be available to Ontario’s municipalities to address transit pressures. Funding will be allocated in two phases: In Phase 1, $666 million will be allocated to municipalities with transit systems to help provide immediate relief from the financial pressures of COVID-19; In Phase 2, the balance will be available for municipalities with transit systems to address the ongoing financial pressures of COVID-19 until the end of the provincial fiscal year, or March 31, 2021. A two-phased approach will provide the flexibility to address actual municipal transit pressures, including any impacts of a potential second wave of COVID-19.

Financial pressures that are eligible for reimbursement under this program include both financial pressures associated with the need to continue to operate with reduced revenue and new expenses resulting from COVID-19: • Reduced revenue would include pressures related to, at the ministry’s sole discretion, the following: o Farebox; o Advertising; o Parking; and o Contracts (e.g., school contracts) • New expenses incurred in response to the COVID-19 outbreak would include, at the ministry’s sole discretion, the following: o Cleaning costs [costs not claimed as part of MTO’s dedicated cleaning funding program]; o New contracts; o Labour costs; o Driver protection; o Passenger protection; and o Other capital costs.

The ministry program area will consult with transit stakeholders to continue to refine eligible program expenses.

Municipal Transit Funding Phase 1: Immediate Funding

I am pleased to share that the City of Windsor (“Recipient”) will receive $6,345,626 to support your COVID-19 municipal transit pressures for Phase 1, incurred from April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020.

Please note that the Recipient is accountable for using this funding for the purpose of addressing the Recipient’s COVID-19 municipal transit pressures.

The Recipient is required to report back, using a template to be provided by the ministry, to the province by October 30, 2020 with details on the use of the Phase 1 funds and a forecast of eligible expenditures to March 31, 2021.

If the amount of funding allocated in Phase 1 exceeds the Recipient’s COVID-19 municipal transit pressures, the province’s expectation is that the Recipient will place the excess funding into a reserve account to be accessed to support Phase 2 COVID- 19 municipal transit pressures the Recipient may continue to incur up to March 31, 2021.

If the amount of funding allocated in Phase 1 is less than the Recipient’s COVID-19 municipal transit pressures, the Recipient’s report back will support the need for additional funding in advance of Phase 2 reporting. The additional funding is expected to be provided by December 31, 2020. The ministry will provide the Recipient with additional details on the reporting in the coming weeks; responses to information gathering questions are required.

The Recipient will be required to return any unused funds to the province where the funding from Phase 1 is in excess of the eligible expenditures incurred under both Phase 1 and Phase 2.

In the meantime, I am requesting that the municipal treasurer for the Recipient sign the acknowledgement below and return the signed copy to the ministry by email by September 11, 2020 to [email protected].

Please note that the ministry must receive this acknowledgement before making a payment to the Recipient. The province intends to make the Phase 1 payment to the Recipient in September 2020.

Phase 2: Ongoing Support To be considered for Phase 2 funding, municipalities will be required to submit the reports noted above. Phase 2 funding will consider the reported actual impacts to determine the funding allocations and will be governed by a transfer payment agreement (TPA). The ministry will consult with municipalities on the TPA in Fall 2020.

MTO intends to build specific requirements into the Phase 2 agreements to achieve important transit objectives to promote ridership growth and transit sustainability. These include, for example:

• Ensuring and promoting the safety of public transit systems through the coordinated procurement of new safety materials;

• Requiring that the transit systems drive service sustainability through innovation in route planning and technology, as well as reviewing municipal transit jurisdictions where there are upper- and lower-tier systems operating in the same areas; and

• Requiring that the GTHA municipalities work with the province to make real progress on fare and service integration to provide rider benefits.

In order to achieve these objectives, municipalities will be required to demonstrate their participation and progress in different areas.

Through the Phase 2 TPAs, the City of Windsor will be required to:

• Engage in consolidated procurement opportunities leveraging Metrolinx and other provincial procurement tools (ALL MUNICIPALITIES)

• Review the lowest performing bus routes and consider whether they may be better serviced by microtransit (ALL MUNICIPALITIES)

• Work with the Province and Metrolinx where appropriate to determine the feasibility of implementing microtransit options on viable routes (ALL MUNICIPALITIES)

• Participate in discussions with the Province on advancing fare and service integration (GTHA & select municipalities)

• Participate in discussions with the Province to optimize transit through new possible governance structures (GTHA & select municipalities)

We are committed to working with municipalities, and their transit systems to refine the processes that will be required, in order to achieve the best possible outcomes as we work together through this recovery period.

Our government is committed to supporting municipal transit, and we will continue to champion the needs of our municipal partners and transit users. Through this historic agreement, municipalities will have the support and flexibility they need to address budget shortfalls related to COVID-19, help limit the spread of the virus, and chart a path to a strong recovery for their communities and for our province.

Sincerely,

Caroline Mulroney Minister of Transportation

RE: Including Public Schools in Mandatory Mask Bylaws

On behalf of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and our 83,000 members, I want to thank you for all your work during this unprecedented public health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has created incredible challenges for municipalities across the province, and we appreciate the efforts being made to keep our communities safe.

In a few weeks, public schools across Ontario will be welcoming students and educators back after months of school closures. As we continue to collectively navigate the new reality created by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ontarians have learned to do their part by keeping two metres of physical distance and wearing masks in indoor spaces.

We know that physical distancing and universal mask wearing, particularly in enclosed spaces, are effective measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Recognizing this, your municipality has adopted measures to mandate non-medical masks in indoor public spaces. Unfortunately, the current measures do not apply to public schools.

On behalf of 83,000 educators in Ontario I am asking that you revisit this issue, and that you make the necessary amendments to include public schools in the list of public spaces where masks must be worn by everyone; students of all ages, educators, school staff and visitors.

COVID-19 does not differentiate between a grocery store and an elementary classroom, between a coffee shop and a school hallway. Our public health measures must be directed accordingly.

…/p.2

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 106 of 291 Ontario Municipalities - 2 - August 5, 2020

Educators are eager to welcome students back to school, but we want to do so in the safest environment possible. You can help make that happen. Protecting our schools means protecting our communities.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Sam Hammond President

Timeline 2018 November 19 Council approves Housekeeping Amendment 2017-3 which adds Transport Terminal definition and provisions to Zoning By-laws 2019 March 27 Building Division conducts city wide Transport Terminal enforcement blitz 2019 June 13 Council approves Interim Control By-law 78-2019 (ICBL) 2020 February 24 Zelinka Priamo Ltd, acting on behalf of the property owner and the lessee, submits a request for an exemption from the ICBL

2020 March 6 Administration receives letter from Daniel Goyette, President, C.A.T. Inc., who is leasing the subject parcel

Enforcement

The Building Division conducted a city-wide enforcement blitz on March 27, 2019 that identified 26 parcels with Transport Terminals that violated the Zoning By-law or lacked site plan approval pursuant to Site Plan Control By-law 1-2004. The subject parcel was not identified as one of the 26 parcels. As of the date of this report, there has been no enforcement against the parcel in regard to the operation of a Transport Terminal.

Interim Control By-law 78-2019

Section 38(1) of the Planning Act permits a municipality to pass an interim control by- law (ICBL) that prohibits the use of land, buildings or structures for such purposes as set out in the by-law. This in effect “freezes” development on the lands (as described by the by-law) for a period not to exceed one year. An ICBL is an important planning tool

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 2 of 6 Page 114 of 291 that allows the municipality to rethink its current land use policies by suspending development that may end up conflicting with any new policy that may be developed.

On June 3, 2019, Council approved Interim Control By-law 78-2019 (see Appendix A) that prohibits the creation of a new Transport Terminal in any MD1. or MD2. zoning districts and M1 zones in the City of Windsor. Administration is currently studying the extent of the challenges, propose possible solutions and provide revised policies and provisions that aim to balance the needs of Transport Terminal and shipping business owners, truck operators, and surrounding businesses and residents.

Council Resolution 291/2019, which approved Interim Control By-law 78-2019, states:

That Council MAY REVIEW, on a case-by-case basis, any requested amendments to the Interim Control By-law where there is a determination that the creation of a new Transport Terminal would not conflict with the general purpose and intent of the Interim Control By-law;

Request for Exemption from ICBL

Zelinka Priamo Ltd (Jared Dykstra, Senior Planner), on behalf of SBDRE (Windsor) Holdings Company Ltd. and C.A.T. Inc., submitted a request to exempt the property at 1790 Provincial Road from Interim Control By-law 78-2019 to allow a previously submitted site plan control application for a potential Transport Terminal development on the property to be processed (Letters attached as Appendix B & C).

The letter from Zelinka Priamo includes an application for a Long Combination Vehicle (LCV) Origin/Destination Location - Road Authority Consent from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). C.A.T. seeks to drives Long Combination Vehicles - a tractor pulling two full-length semi trailers - to the subject parcel, unload goods onto regular tractor trailers or smaller trucks for distribution. The City of Windsor has signed off on the Road Authority Consent. There are strict restrictions on the operation of an LCV.

Discussion: All exemption requests will be evaluated against the following criteria:

Consistency with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law - The underlying Official Plan designation and zoning district will be considered. Specifically, whether the Transport Terminal is consistent with the Official Plan designation and is permitted as a main use by the zoning district;

Impact on surrounding infrastructure - What the impact may be on surrounding infrastructure, mainly roads, including potential wear and tear, as well as how the impact on the safety and functionality of the surrounding road network;

Proximity to sensitive land uses - The distance to the closest sensitive use will be considered; and,

Likelihood of additional mitigation measures - This criterion considers compatibility with surrounding uses. The Transport Terminal Study may recommend that additional mitigation measures be undertaken in order to permit a Transport Terminal on the property. Approval of the exemption request may prejudice the Study.

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 3 of 6 Page 115 of 291 Analysis of Evaluation Criteria

The subject parcel is designated Industrial on Schedule D: Land Use in the City of Windsor Official Plan. A Transport Terminal is consistent with the general policy direction, including permitted uses, locational criteria, evaluation criteria, and design guidelines, of the Industrial land use designation.

Relevant excerpts from Zoning By-law 8600 are attached as Appendix D. The parcel is zoned Manufacturing District 1.3 (MD1.3) in Zoning By-law 8600, a zoning category that permits a limited range of industrial uses and some commercial uses, including a transport terminal as a main use. A rezoning is not required. A Transport Terminal development on the parcel is subject to site plan control.

The proposed Transport Terminal is consistent with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 8600.

The parcel has direct access to Provincial Road, a Class I Arterial Road. Provincial Road is a designated Truck Route and provides access to Highway 401 about 1.7 km to the southeast. In the past, the parcel has been used as a Loading Compound for storing and transporting motor vehicles.

The proposed Transport Terminal will have minimal impact on surrounding infrastructure.

The parcel is adjacent to a residential subdivision (Devonwood Meadows) to the west and a mobile home park (Countryside Village of Windsor) to the northwest. To the north and east are mostly commercial uses, a select few industrial uses and a Canada Post sorting facility. To the south, are more commercial uses, a rail corridor, a park and residential uses (over 130 metres to the south and southwest). The residential uses in the surrounding area are a sensitive land use.

The proposed Transport Terminal is proximate to a sensitive land use.

The proximity of sensitive land uses, especially the residential uses to the west and north west, is a concern. However, the previous Loading Compound use on the subject parcel existed before the residential subdivision. There is a tall wood fence along the westerly lot line of subject parcel, which appears to prevent the intrusion of lights from trucks operating on the parcel.

The potential conflict between the Transport Terminal use and the sensitive land uses is an issue that the Transport Terminal Study will examine. Staff report C 102/19 that recommended implementation of the Interim Control By-law stated that:

“The main purposes of doing the study is to ensure that Transport Terminal is appropriately permitted or prohibited, that the provisions for a Transport Terminal are consistent with the policy direction of the Official Plan, and that a Transport Terminal is not detrimental to surrounding existing and potential land uses.”

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 4 of 6 Page 116 of 291 Additional mitigation measures may be required to permit a Transport Terminal on the property. This is an issue that the study will examine.

There is a likelihood that additional mitigation measures will be necessary in order to permit a Transport Terminal.

Consultations:

Jason Campigotto, Site Plan Approval Officer; Wira Vendrasco, Deputy City Solicitor; Rob Vani, Manager of Inspections (BBO) / Deputy Chief Building Official

Conclusion: Approving the exemption is premature in that it may allow a use - a Transport Terminal - that is not compatible with sensitive land uses, especially to the west.

However, the subject parcel is a very large parcel (14.7 ha / 36 ac) which provides an opportunity to separate the proposed transport terminal in the interim.

Possible options are provided below.

Option A - If Council chooses to DENY the exemption, the motion shall read as:

“That the request of SBDRE (Windsor) Holdings Company Ltd. for an exemption from the provisions of Interim Control By-law By-law 78-2019 for the property at 1790 Provincial Road BE DENIED.”

Option B - If Council chooses to APPROVE the exemption, the motion shall read as:

1) That the request of SBDRE (Windsor) Holdings Company Ltd. for an exemption from the provisions of Interim Control By-law By-law 78-2019 for the property at 1790 Provincial Road Street BE APPROVED.

2) That Council AMEND By-law 78-2019 by adding to Section 6 the following:

“i) 1790 Provincial Road - East side of Provincial Road, northwest of Legacy Park Drive

Part of Lots 14 and 15, Concession 6, described as Parts 1, 4, 5 & 13, Plan 12R-21875. PIN 01560-2590; Roll No. 070-160-02000”

3) That the proposed Transport Terminal SHALL BE setback a minimum of 100.0 m from the westerly lot line.

Greetings City of Windsor councillors:

On behalf of ink-stainedwretches.org, composed of a group of former newsroom employees, I ask that you please consider the accompanying resolution requesting your support in encouraging elected leaders to build an ecosystem in which local journalism can provide vital service to people of Windsor and beyond.

Region of Waterloo councillors, during their council meeting on June 3, 2020, unanimously passed a similar resolution. The wording of the motion that regional councillors passed is as follows:

“Therefore Be It Resolved that Waterloo Regional Council recognizes that a healthy, professional news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in the region; urges other municipal councils within the region and across Canada to recognize that a robust news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in their jurisdictions; endorses legislation and regulations to support and rejuvenate news outlets across Canada; and urges the federal government to move quickly to pass legislation to ensure an ecosystem for a healthy news media to serve all Canadians. And that the resolution be forwarded to the area municipalities, local M.P.s and M.P.P.s and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Association of Municipalities of Ontario.”

As we have outlined in our proposed resolution to your council, and in the accompanying backgrounder document, we are concerned by the fact that residents in our municipality and throughout Canada have already lost vital services provided by local journalism outlets — and are in serious risk of imminently losing more.

According to the university based journalism website j-source.ca, from 2008 to 2018, 190 communities across Canada lost about 250 established news outlets due to mergers or closures. And more recently, in six weeks from the time the novel coronavirus pandemic struck in early March, more than 100 media outlets across Canada made cuts; nearly 50 community newspapers had shuttered; and about 2,000 workers were laid off.

So we are asking your help to encourage our elected leaders, at the provincial and federal levels, to help build an ecosystem in which local journalism — which is essential to the functioning of a healthy democracy — can thrive.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dave Hall Windsor, ON [email protected]

Backgrounder for the City ofWindsor Council Re: Proposed resolution supporting local journalism By: ink- stainedwretches.org

 The name of our group isink-stainedwretches.org(the same as our URL).

 Our project promotes support for local journalism in ALL FORMS (print,broadcast, digital) not onlynewspapers.

 Whereas our campaign is a local grassroots effort started in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, we hope that it will spread across Canada because residents across the country are experiencing a dwindling supply of reliable local journalism.

 We have support from every province and territory in Canada: As of July24, 2020, ouronline petitionhas been endorsed by more than800 people from all provinces and territories save Nunavut. (However, an Ottawa-based editor working for a Nunavutnews outlet has signed thepetition.)

 We have not sought the blessing of media executives because this is a grassroots effort by media workers past and present. Of course, we welcome endorsements from news media executives. But they have their own associations and avenues foradvocacy.

 Three possible action items forcouncil:

o We would be happy if council would write letters encouraging nearby municipal councils to adopt a similarresolution.

o We would be delighted if council would send letters to the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) asking them to encourage their members to adopt similarresolutions.

o And we would appreciate it if council would write and send similar letters ofsupport — to ensure an ecosystem for robust local journalism — to elected federal leaders including local MPPs, MPs; Steven Guilbeault, minister of Canadian heritage; Bill Morneau, federal minister of finance; and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Whereas a healthy, professional news media is essential for the proper functioning of civil society and democracy at the local, regional, federal and international levels;

Whereas the Public Policy Forum declares — on its websitefor the 2017 report The

Shattered Mirror: News, Democracy and Trust in the Digital Age (commissioned by the federal government) — that “real news is in crisis” in this country;

Whereas the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cited eight “critical information needs” the media help to provide including emergencies; other public risks to health; education; the environment; economic opportunities; civic and political knowledge of policy initiatives; and the conduct of public officials, and candidates for office (The Shattered Mirrorp.4);

Whereas Canadians have lost the essential services provided by roughly 2,000 media workers in 100 communities across Canada due to layoffs in only six weeks from the time the COVID-19 pandemic began — a time it became clearer to the public how important it is for Canadians to receive accurate information — and advertising

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 121 of 291 revenues have plunged, prompting an emergency $30-million advertising-buy by the federal government;

Whereas residents of 190 Canadian communities lost 250 established news outletsdue to closings or mergers between 2008 and 2018;

Whereas two thirds of Canadians agree or somewhat agree that because of the

Coronavirus/Covid-19 outbreak the federal government should treat widespread media bankruptcies and lay-offs as an emergency , according to a Nanos

Research pollof April 2020;

Whereas the federal government allocated nearly $600 million in aid for

Canadianmediaover five years in its 2019 budget, including a 25-per-cent tax credit for newsroom salaries; a 15-per-cent tax credit for digital media subscribers; and charitable tax status for non-profit news outlets;

Whereas Canada’s federal government acknowledged in its 2019 budget(p. 173) that

“A strong and independent news media is crucial to a well-functioning democracy.”;

Whereas at least seven municipal councils in Ontario have already passedresolutions similar to the one proposed below;

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 122 of 291 Whereas the news media in the Windsor have been instrumental during the

COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring local citizens have accurate local information;

Therefore Be It Resolved that the City of Windsor Council recognizes that a healthy, professional news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in ourcity; urges nearby municipal councils and across Canada to recognize that a robust news media is essential to the proper functioning of democracy in their jurisdictions; endorses legislation and regulations to support and rejuvenate news outlets across Canada; and urges the federal government to move quickly to pass legislation to ensure an ecosystem for a healthy news media to serve all Canadians.

And that the resolution be forwarded to the area municipalities, local M.P.s and M.P.P.s and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Association of Municipalities of

Ontario.

Executive Summary:

N/A

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 230 of 291 Page 1 of 6 Background: On August 12, 2020, the City of Windsor received a communication letter from the office of the Minister of Transportation, Caroline Mulroney, describing the COVID-19 funding support through the Safe Restart Provincial and Federal Agreement for municipal transit pressures. This report is included in the Communications Package for the August 24, 2020 meeting as well.

Through this agreement, the Province of Ontario has secured up to $4 billion in emergency assistance to support operating financial pressures and transit system challenges for municipalities across the province due to COVID-19.

Up to $2 billion of the above stated amount has been allocated for municipal transit pressures and will be administered through a 2-phase approach. $666 million will be allocated in Phase 1 as an immediate allocation of funding whereas in Phase 2, the province will review municipal requests for additional funding.

In the lead up to this announcement, Administration has been actively monitoring and assessing the potential impacts COVID-19 has had and continues to have on the City. Through the efforts of various departments across the City, a COVID-19 2020 Year-End Financial Projects Report (Council Report: C134/2020) was presented to City Council on July 13, 2020. Contained in the report was a projected total financial impact to the City of $52.0M which was offset by various mitigation measures to date equal to $16.7M and grant funding of $5.6M, thereby reducing the projected net impact to the City to $29.7M. The Transit Windsor portion of the $29.7M in unmitigated costs noted in that report was $4.8M.

Costs reported to City Council via C134/2020, were based on June 2020 data projected to the end of December 31, 2020 and also included several assumptions made based on information available at that time. It is noted that the December 31 date for the financial impact estimate was chosen because it coincides with the City’s fiscal year end, not because COVID related costs are likely to end by that date. As the pandemic situation is evolving certain assumptions made in June 2020 differ from what is now known. The information in the June 2020 report will be updated and a further report will be provided to City Council in the Fall 2020 regarding the City’s financial impact as a result of COVID-19.

Discussion: The Ministry of Transportation communication letter outlines the amount of Phase 1 funding allocated as well as at a high-level anticipated reporting requirements, types of eligible costs and lost revenues as well as potential expectations to qualify for Phase 2 funding. This program differs from the municipal operational pressures program, also before City Council on August 24, 2020 C166/2020, in that for Phase 2 the province has outlined in the letter a pending Transfer Payment Agreement which is expected to include required reviews and or changes to transit systems which may be required to be considered for Phase 2 funding. The municipal operational stream does not have a similar requirement.

It should also be noted that the actual costs and/or lost revenues which may be able to be claimed under the Safe Restart program has not yet been provided and may vary

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 231 of 291 Page 2 of 6 from the types of COVID-19 costs and revenue losses Administration has been tracking and reporting to City Council. As we receive further clarity from the Province on the program requirements, Administration will be able to provide more clarity on how much of the City’s reported financial losses are deemed eligible for funding under the Safe Restart program.

In addition, based on the information contained in the letter from the Ministry of Transportation, it indicates that costs for this program are based on the period April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. If this is confirmed in the guidelines, once they are received, then being awarded Phase 2 funding under this program will assist in helping to mitigate COVID-19 operational budget pressures for the first quarter 2021 for Transit Windsor. In turn this will reduce the total impact on the City’s overall 2021 operating budget pressures resulting from COVID-19.

Given the following factors there is a strong possibility that the $6M in immediate Phase 1 funding for transit which was provided based on ridership may not be sufficient and result in a need for Administration to seek a Phase 2 submission from the municipal transit pressures stream:

- The $4.8M loss projected in June is likely to change based on new information;

- Clarity on eligible costs and revenues losses for the Safe Restart program is pending:

- Based on information received to date the transit stream considers costs out to March 31, 2021.

Phase 1: Immediate Funding for Municipal Transit Pressures

Under phase 1 the City of Windsor has been allocated $6,345,626 to support COVID-19 municipal transit operating costs and pressures. Administration is requesting City Council to delegate authority to the City Treasurer to sign the required acknowledgement which will allow the Province to process the payment of $6,345,626 to the City in September of this year.

Administration is also requesting delegated authority for the submission and /or signing of any related agreements and or reporting documents as will be required to secure and/or report on the use of this funding to the Province. A separate reserve fund is also being requested to be set up to track the receipt and use of this funding for reporting purposes, as required and outlined in the communication letter.

Phase 2: Funding for Additional Municipal Transit Pressures

The requirements for the municipal transit pressures stream in order to support an application to Phase 2 funding differ from the municipal operating pressures stream. This program does not just look at additional operational costs impacts due to COVID- 19 and how they have been mitigated to form the funding justification for Phase 2. As noted in the letter from the Ministry of Transportation Phase 2 is also looking to confirm if a transit service is willing to explore things such as the expansion of purchasing collaborations with Metrolinx, as well as a review of the use of microtransit for lower volume routes. The City is in a good position to respond favourably to such

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 232 of 291 Page 3 of 6 requirements for Phase 2 funding as we currently leverage the service of Metrolinx for our fleet purchases and the Transit Windsor Service Delivery review recommended the use of microtransit for some routes.

The final Phase 2 requirements are still being vetted and finalized by the province and are expected this fall. As additional clarity on reporting, eligible expenses and other required changes are provided by the province, Administration will work to gathering the necessary information to support a Phase 2 submission.

As noted in the table below, the necessary documentation and guidelines, required from the Ministry, on reporting of Phase 1 funding and justifying the need for Phase 2 additional municipal transit funding, has not yet been received. There is a strong possibility that there will be a very short turnaround time between receiving the Transfer Payment Agreement requirements for the Phase 2 funding requests and the date which the request must be submitted. As such, Administration is requesting the authority to submit for Phase 2 funding in this report to maximize the amount of time needed to provide a strong application for Phase 2 funding.

Risk Analysis:

Failure to meet the deadline to provide acknowledgment for the Phase 1 funding may forfeit the City’s payment of $6,345,626 and any further possibility of requesting further assistance as described in Phase 2.

As Administration continues to monitor and quantify the impact of the COVID pandemic to the City’s finances, there are still many unknowns calling for the use of significant assumptions. This presents a challenge in providing any degree of certainty to the full financial impacts to the Corporation as the situation continues to change daily. This risk is mitigated by seeking all necessary approvals in this report required in order to secure, report and pursue funding in the Safe Restart municipal transit pressures stream.

Financial Matters:

The financial impacts brought upon by the COVID-19 Pandemic were identified in Council Report C134/2020 which was presented to City Council on July 13, 2020. The year-end projected total net financial impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic to Transit Windsor, was estimated at approximately $4.8M. These estimates were based on June 2020 information and based on a series of assumptions as to how the balance of the year may unfold relative to COVID and the resumption of day to day services. Clarity as to what costs and revenue losses may be eligible for this program are not currently known pending further details from the Province. As such, while the previous deficit was estimated at $4.8M, this number is likely to change. It should also be noted that any surplus funding from Phase 1 can be applied to costs incurred in 2021, up to March 31, 2021. As such there is a strong possibility that there will be a need for Phase 2 transit funding and Administration is seeking approval in this report to pursue it if necessary.

Consultations:

Conclusion:

The approval of the recommendations in this report will allow the City to receive $6,345,626 in funding to address the COVID-19 municipal transit operating costs and pressures.

Executive Summary:

N/A

Background: On August 12, 2020, the City of Windsor received a communication letter from the office of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark describing the COVID-19 funding support through the Safe Restart Provincial and Federal Agreement. Through this agreement, the Province of Ontario has secured up to $4 billion in emergency assistance to support operating financial pressures and transit system challenges for municipalities across the province due to COVID-19.

Up to $2 billion of the above stated amount has been allocated to the municipal operating stream and will be administered through a 2-phase approach. Fifty percent will be allocated in Phase 1 as an immediate per household allocation of funding whereas in Phase 2, the province will review municipality requests for additional funding for the remainder.

In the lead up to this announcement, Administration has been actively monitoring and assessing the potential impacts COVID-19 has had and continues to have on the City. Through the efforts of various departments across the City, a COVID-19 2020 Year-End Financial Projects Report (Council Report: C134/2020) was presented to City Council on July 13, 2020. Contained in the report was a projected total current fiscal year financial impact to the City of $52.0M which was offset by various mitigation measures to date equal to $16.7M and grant funding of $5.6M, thereby reducing the projected impact to the City to $29.7M (inclusive of $4.8M for Transit Windsor) as referenced in the following chart.

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 237 of 291 Page 2 of 5 Costs reported to City Council via C134/2020, were based on June 2020 data projected to the end of December 31, 2020 and also included several assumptions made based on information available at that time. The information in that report will be updated and a new report provided to City Council this fall regarding the City’s financial impact as a result of COVID-19.

Discussion: The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing communication letter, provided in the communications package for the August 24, 2020 City Council meeting, outlines the amount of allocated funding to the province’s municipalities. It also speaks to the high- level reporting requirements and process of requesting additional funding. The details of these requirements are pending release of the necessary documents from the Ministry. Described below is the 2-Phase approach the Ministry has taken in providing the municipal operating pressures funding stream. It should be noted that the requirements for the municipal transit pressures stream differs and is being reported to City Council in a separate report, C164/2020.

It should also be noted that the actual costs and/or lost revenues which may be able to be claimed under the Safe Restart program has not yet been provided and may vary from the types of COVID-19 costs and revenue losses Administration has been tracking and reporting to City Council. As we receive further clarity from the Province on the program requirements Administration will be able to provide more clarity on how much of the City’s reported financial losses are deemed eligible for funding under the Safe Restart program.

Phase 1: Immediate Funding for Municipal Operating Pressures

Under phase 1 the City of Windsor has been allocated $12,026,800 to support COVID- 19 operating costs and pressures. Administration is requesting City Council to delegate authority to the City Treasurer to sign the required acknowledgement which will allow the Province to process the payment of $12,026,800 to the City in September of this year.

Administration is also requesting delegated authority for the submission and/or signing of any related agreements and/or reporting documents that will be required by the province. A separate reserve fund is also being requested to be set up to track the receipt and use of this funding for reporting purposes, as required and outlined in the communication letter from the Province.

Phase 2: Additional Funding for Municipal Operating Pressures

A second phase of funding will be offered to those municipalities that can demonstrate that the 2020 COVID-19 operating costs and pressures exceed Phase 1 funding support. As noted above the projected unmitigated deficit for the current fiscal year for the City is near $30M, inclusive of $4.8M for Transit Windsor costs. It is anticipated that the $12M provided to the City in September will not be sufficient to cover the City’s portion of this shortfall. As such, Administration is therefore seeking approval from City Council to pursue the additional funding under Phase 2, noting such approval by City Council is a formal requirement to pursue Phase 2 funding.

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 238 of 291 Page 3 of 5 Submission for additional Phase 2 funding is required to be provided to the Ministry by no later than October 30, 2020. The Ministry will inform the City if they will be provided additional funding by the end of 2020, and if approved, a payment would be made in early 2021. As noted in the table below the necessary documentation and guidelines, required from the Ministry, on reporting of Phase 1 funding and justifying the need for Phase 2 municipal operating funding, has not yet been received. To reduce the risk that the timing and or complexity of these reporting requirements is impacted by a short turn- around time Administration is requesting approval in this report to submit to Phase 2 funding. Unlike other grants, this program is not a “project based” submission and as such only increased costs and or lost revenues which meet with the province’s defined requirements will be put forth in the submissions.

This presents a challenge in providing any degree of certainty to the full financial impacts to the Corporation as the situation continues to change daily. This risk is mitigated by seeking all necessary approvals in this report required to secure, report and pursue funding under the Federal- Provincial Safe Restart municipal operating pressures stream.

Financial Matters: The financial impacts brought upon by the COVID-19 Pandemic were presented in City Council Report C134/2020 on July 13, 2020. The projected total net financial impact for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 of the COVID-19 Pandemic to the City and Transit Windsor, is approximately $29.7M. Since Phase 1 of the Safe Restart Agreement only provides funding of approximately $12.0M. Administration will be requesting further funding support through the parameters set forth for Phase 2 funding. Administration will provide further reports to City Council on the additional funding levels being requested under Phase 2 as the year progresses and further information and updated financial results become available.

Consultations:

Conclusion: The approval of the recommendations in this report will allow Administration to immediately complete the necessary requirements to obtain Phase 1 funding of just over $12M as well as appropriately position the City to pursue additional Phase 2 funding for the additional municipal financial impacts resulting from COVID-19 consistent with the timelines laid out by the Province.

GROSS ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS $1,980,000

REVENUE

Previously Approved Funding $1,550,000

Additional Funding Required 430,000

TOTAL REVENUE $1,980,000

A total of $430,000.00 in additional funding is required to complete this project. Administration recommends that $430,000.00 in surplus (Sewer Surcharge) funding from the two projects below be transferred to the Strabane project 7152000 a. Project 7171084 – Dominion/Northwood Intersection Improvements - $250,000.00 b. Project 7164008 – Curry/McKay/College - $180,000.00

Both of the projects above are in their final stages and as such the surpluses are certain to occur. The Curry/McKay/College projects funding is currently available and as such a transfer of the funding to the Strabane project will happen immediately upon approval of the recommendations. The Dominion/Northwood Intersection funding surplus is precommitted 2023 funding for the project which is no longer required. As such the recommendation to use this funding for Strabane requires the original precommitment to the Dominion/Northwood

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 243 of 291 Page 3 of 5 Intersection to be removed and the precommitment of these funds established for Strabane project allowing for immediate use of the funds.

Consultations: Carrie McCrindle – Financial Planning Adminstrator Melissa Osborne – Senior Manager of Asset Planning Alex Vucinic – Purchasing Manager

Conclusion: Administration recommends that transfer of these funds to Project ID 7152000 and award of Tender 105-20 to the low bidder Sherway Contracting (Windsor) Limited.

Address to City Council by Kael Sharman, a resident and owner of a single-family home in Ward 2 for the last 5 years.

Speaking to the issue 7.3. Response to CQ10-2019 Regarding Housing Development and Regulation in NearCampus Neighbourhoods - City Wide (C 137/2020) on August 24, 2020

Windsor is being exploited by outside real estate investment that turns single family houses into room rentals and bleeds money from the local economy. It is the duty of council to address this issue on behalf of all Windsorites.

The issue of ROOMING HOUSES in Ward 2 (and increasingly in other wards) reflects a housing market that poses barriers to affordable housing. I know this because I have friends who can’t afford to rent an apartment alone (THEY ARE NOT STUDENTS); because I have friends who purchased a home jointly out of sheer necessity (THEY ARE NOT STUDENTS); and because of my own experience trying to purchase a home to live in in Ward 2 (I AM NOT A STUDENT). But the private student housing market has had a direct impact on all our lives.

Community Challenges

In our neighborhood, you can feel everywhere the contempt for absentee landlords and for the power structures that enable them. This contempt reflects absentee landlords’ own contempt for the needs of their tenants and neighbours. All this contempt breeds disrespect for the neighborhood itself. It erodes a sense of community and pride in the place where people live. In Ward 2, crime, vandalism, and addiction issues demonstrate the strain on mental health and well-being. These are Windsor residents of ALL types – NOT JUST STUDENTS!!!!

The rent that is paid to out-of-town landlords flows to other cities. Does council know how much income from Windsor residents is paid to outside real estate investors each month? Sure, you might collect property taxes from these owners, but that is a drop in the bucket compared to the dollars that flow out of our city each month, in rent, to investors who live in larger cities. That money would otherwise stay in our city, where it could be spent on locally-owned affordable housing and on local businesses and services. And outside investors are driving up housing prices, and rent, well beyond what working people can pay. Outside real estate investment is exploiting Windsorites, and it’s got to stop.

My personal experience

I chose to purchase a home in Ward 2 because I want to be part of the solution. I hoped that I could buy one of the many homes that rental speculators have run-down, and rehabilitate it for my family. But in fact, if a home had a history of room rentals, vandalism, or security issues due to short term renting, no mortgage insurance company would agree to insure a mortgage for that property. The only way I could purchase a home with that sort of history was to come up with at least a 20% down payment on a house whose price was already inflated due to its investment potential—and like most working Windsorites, I couldn’t afford that.

Here’s the bind: outside real estate speculators can afford to buy single-family homes from working Windsorites, but working Windsorites can’t afford to buy those houses back—not even after these properties have been damaged. Mortgage insurance policies mean that the flow of property

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 272 of 291 ownership is a one-way flow away from working people in Ward 2. Well-intentioned home-buying can’t reverse it—we must have help from policy makers.

In the end I was lucky enough to find a home in Ward 2 that had no history of rentals, and I’m proud to belong to this community. But we can do better for residents in Windsor who are struggling to provide shelter for themselves and their families—who want to keep Windsor a great place to live and who want to keep money here in this community. And to do better, we need the right rules, policies, and legislation.

Conclusion

Both federal laws--such as the Investment Canada Act and Competition Act--and provincial laws—may restrict the ownership of real estate by non-residents. This may not fall directly under the jurisdiction of Windsor City Council. But as representatives of Windsor residents who want a safe, healthy local community and economy--it is your responsibility to advocate for legislative changes at the provincial and federal levels. Stop saying it is a student issue and not your responsibility.

1 - Collect data.

2 - Communicate and get support from the cities listed in the report

3 - Advocate for legislative change that directly deals with speculation and rent control.

I do not accept that my municipal representatives are waiting for the college and university to make my community a better place. I do not accept that provincial law makers know what is best in our city, without your voices. Educating students on how to enforce rules and regulations is good, but not enough. Students are here short-term and their studies are their priority. Make it your priority to speak for ALL the residents here in Windsor and advocate for legislation that directly deals with the problem of rental speculation.

Council Item August 24th - #7.3 Response to CQ 10-2019 Housing Development

To The Mayor and Members of City Council

I am writing this as a Ward 2 resident.

I believe that this report deserves to be publicly debated at a future council meeting. Support removal of the report from communications. It contains relevant information but needs to be taken further where the public can enter into the conversation.

There are a couple of points of interest that I would like to address.

Oshawa, Waterloo and Ottawa have implemented strategies to address student housing in their respective municipalities and Windsor should be moving in the same direction with more relevant communication with those citizens whose neighbourhoods and lifestyles are greatly affected. The above mentioned municipalities are continuing to update their strategies as needed. Windsor should at least start a meaningful conversation.

The report gives many cons with regards to not only addressing an effective strategy but also to the need for a Registered Rental License. There is another side to this – there are pros. A more balanced, detailed report needs to be presented to include both the pros and cons.

The conditions that students are forced to live in and the concerns of the neighbours really need to be addressed in a positive and proactive manner. I believe the tools to do this are available and through an open and honest debate, solutions can be found.

Respectfully submitted by Mary Ann Cuderman

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 274 of 291 August 24, 2020 Council Meeting – Item 7.3 Additional Information

Dear councillors,

I read with interest administrations report re “housing development regulation in near campus neighbourhoods.”

There is a change taking place in our family friendly neighbourhoods. We are losing them. Out of town investment is turning our single family homes into rental properties. We are losing stability in our neighbourhoods due to an increase in transient population. Stable neighbourhoods make residents feel safe and secure.

I live in a historical neighbourhood. It’s of great significance to this city. Over the last decade I’ve watched it change from a middle class neighbourhood to a blighted one. My street is two blocks long and home to both seniors and families. We watch as the houses sell one by one to private investment. An investor would sooner rent out to a many tenants instead of a family as the income would be more. 3 bedroom homes are turned into 10 bedroom homes. How is this legal? Two single family detached houses across from me have turned into rooming houses. I no longer know who lives there as the tenants are many and they change from month to month. They blast music out the front door and don’t care about the noise. They have bonfires all night, they light fireworks on the street at 2 AM. They fight. And there is never any place to park. I call bylaw. And they respond. But the tenants like the out of town property owners are transient. These houses flip once a year. The stability of these homes and our neighbourhood is no longer there. This once family friendly neighbourhood has been allowed to be taken over by private slumlord investment. WHY? Would you like this in your neighbourhood? It’s causing a lot of anxiety and anguish to us all. Don’t rooming houses belong in business corridors, where their activity can happen without a hindrance to others. How is it family homes are turned into flop houses? I worry for the seniors and families on my block. It is scary.

The area of Riverwest is made up of older character homes which were once inhabited by the more prominent citizens of the city. One street is even referred to as Judges Row. I recently had an opportunity to do a flyer drop in this area allowing me a close up look at these beautiful properties. I was astonished to find most of these homes have not been preserved. Foundations were falling apart, ease troughs hanging because they haven’t been cleaned out, foliage invading the exterior walls, unkept yards, fences falling down and rusted. These properties are not being structurally maintained. They are owned by out of town private investors and rented out as rooming houses. What will happen to this once pristine neighbourhood if this is allowed to continue.

Our city’s oldest neighbourhoods are located closest to Detroit river, our history, our culture, and our oldest establishments. Yet we sit idly by and allow our city to be exploited by foreign investment taking advantage of our cheap housing stock and lack of municipal oversight. Windsor needs a residential rental licensing program. An RRL will make it unappealing to foreign investment to buy property here. Investors would not buy in Windsor knowing they

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 275 of 291 would have to follow building codes and bylaws or chance being fined for not being licensed. Bidding wars on realestate would stop. This would allow local first time home buyers to get into the market. I’d much rather have a local family living across from me than a flop house. An RRL would slow the sellers market as foreign investment would buy elsewhere. When our sellers market becomes a buyers market our housing prices would stabilize and more people would be able to afford rent. This would help end homelessness.

I am asking for an introduction of a city wide RRL, a local student housing strategy, and streetscape master plan for University Windsor area. I understand an RRL came before council in the past and was voted down in lieu of enhanced bylaw enforcement. Has there been data gathered on the results of enhanced enforcement. I haven’t noticed any change. I realize bylaw are doing a tremendous job but our city is being overtaken by out of town investment. The problems this has led to is beyond the scope of bylaw enforcement to handle. Enforcement must be accompanied by a rental licensing program to make the difference.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Good Evening Beth, I have a few objections with the existing proposal, and would like to bring them to the council’s attention, regarding Item 8.11:

The cost of Private connection is too high. The cost should be brought back to pre 2019 rate of $700 from $3200

One year’s time to hook up with Sewer system is not sufficient. All residents should be given 3years time to hook up to the Sewer system once it becomes available

Water usage goes up in summer months and not all of that water goes into sewers. Two water meters should be installed separately for indoor and outdoor water usage

Residents should be given the opportunity to use their existing septic tanks(after thorough cleanup) for storm water retention. It will help with overland flooding and garden irrigation.

Also, I would like to participate in the meeting electronically. Please send me the instructions.

Thank you, Barinderjeet Bhangu

Dear council members,

My name is Bob fletcher and I reside at 3950 Baseline Drive. Please register me as a delegate participating in the meeting. I do not plan to speak but will be on the presentations.

Consider this as a submission to the August 24, 2020 council meeting at 11:00am concerning the revised LIP for sanitary Sewer and private drain connections on Baseline Road.

Before I begin, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Kieran McKenzie for all his efforts in working for the residents on Baseline Road.

Submission recommendations to add to the revised LIP:

1. Prior to last November the city charged $700.00 to do a private connection to the resident’s property line. Then you put an increase over 300% through to $3000.00 a month before preparing this LIP. I think this amount of an increase is exorbitant and beyond any reasonable increase and justification in any business in this country especially in these times of unemployment due to Covid-19. a. I am putting a request in for an amendment to reduce the fee back to $700.00 given the close proximity of the increase to the LIP recommendations.

I would like to see the private connection cost ($3000) revised to the cost that was prior to last November of $700. I understand the LIP cost have not been adjusted for many years and needs updating but the cost should increase gradually, not a 300% increase. These are difficult times for everyone, an increase of this magnitude is not reasonable.

Dear members of council,

I am a resident on Baseline Road and have concerns regarding File No: SW/13662 (Ref: SCM 237/2020 & Council Report S 60/2020).

Please send me a link to participate the meeting. I am willing to speak, if that is available.

Prior to November 2019, the private drain connection was between $700-800. The cost increased by over 300% (to $3200) one month before preparing this LIP. I think this amount of an increase is exorbitant and beyond any reasonable increase and justification in any business in this country especially in these times of economic uncertainty due to Covid- 19.

I would also like to see a motion passed on allowing residents to convert septic systems to groundwater management systems and that the costs to convert would be rolled into the 20 year payment option currently offered to decommission the septic system.

I do appreciate and thank council and administration for the extension of payment terms to 20 years, which will be much easier for families to accept this unplanned expense.

Thank you to our Councillor McKenzie for his efforts in answering questions and working for the residents on Baseline Road. I look forward to the meeting on Monday.

Mr. Onorio Colucci Chief Administrative Officer The Corporation of the City of Windsor 350 City Hall Square West, 5th Floor P.O. Box 1607 Windsor, ON N9A 6S1

Dear Mr. Colucci:

RE: Motion regarding Municipal Guidelines for Cannabis Retail Stores

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) is writing in response to the pending motion being presented for consideration to the Mayor and Members of City Council on August 24, 2020. The WECHU strongly encourages the City of Windsor administration to continue to provide feedback to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in response to Cannabis Retail Store Authorization applications while maintaining and enhancing existing municipal policy statements.

The Province of Ontario has established minimum restrictions regarding the locations of cannabis businesses in our communities. The system put in place of a brief 15-day feedback period through the AGCO is the only current measure given to municipalities and residents to have a role in determining suitable locations for cannabis businesses that protect the health and safety and best interests of their communities. Objections are only permitted to be received by the AGCO from a municipality or resident, and will not be received from other organizations such as the WECHU. Part of the role of the WECHU is to support municipal stakeholders in making policy decisions that may affect the health and well-being of residents of Windsor-Essex. In this way, should Council decide to continue participation in the feedback process, the WECHU is able to continue to provide assistance, and the report we provide in response to applications can also be further amended to better meet your needs. Should council decide to allow administration to provide feedback in line with broad policy statements, the WECHU requests the opportunity to provide feedback into the establishment of these statements.

Maintaining a cannabis retail policy statement provides administration the ability to quickly and effectively respond to applications for cannabis-related businesses within their municipality. In addition, if cannabis businesses are expanded to include consumption lounges or cafes, having a policy statement in place will continue to provide the ability to quickly respond to such applications and ensure that the location does not cause inequitable harm to vulnerable community members (see Supporting Evidence below). Many large municipalities and border cities in Ontario have also developed policy statements and a set of similar guidelines to actively respond to cannabis retail applications (see enclosed table). As we are still at the early stages of a quickly growing cannabis retail market, the province has established only minimal requirements for the location of these stores. By joining other municipalities across Ontario in providing consistent feedback for these retailers, the City of Windsor can have a role in the establishment of standards for the siting of retail cannabis locations which minimize the potential harms of cannabis exposure and use.

Consolidated Council Agenda - August 24, 2020 Page 286 of 291

Supporting Evidence:

It has been well established that closer substance retail outlet proximity to sensitive use spaces such as youth- serving facilities increases normalization and use among vulnerable populations such as youth or those living with a substance use disorder (Liem, 2018; Ontario Public Health Association, 2015; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016; Canadian Paediatric Society, 2016). For example, research shows that when tobacco retailers are located close to homes and schools, youth are more likely to experiment with smoking, people consume more cigarettes per day, and individuals have a tougher time quitting (Cao et al., 2011).

Regarding the potential harm of clustering of cannabis retailers, studies have shown that when tobacco availability increases, the smoking rates of youth and adults also increases. In addition, children are more likely to smoke when they attend school in an area with a high density of tobacco retailers (Henriksen et al., 2008; Leatherdale & Strath, 2007; Chan & Leatherdale, 2011).

By supporting a more effective minimum distance requirement from youth-serving facilities such as schools, child care centres, libraries, and community centres, municipalities can prevent the role-modeling of cannabis use and reduce youth access (Canadian Paediatric Society, 2016; Government of Canada, 2016; Association of Municipalities of Ontario, 2018). Looking at the evidence with tobacco, reducing the number of retailers and preventing clustering may prevent normalizing the use of products, help people reduce their use, and help people quit (Cao et al., 2011).

Recommendations:

Currently, the Province of Ontario has set minimal requirements for public health and safety on the location of cannabis retail stores: Ontario Regulation (O. Reg) 468/18 under the Cannabis Licence Act does not allow for a cannabis retail store to be located within 150 metres from a school or private school as defined in the Education Act. In order to minimize the potential for vulnerable populations to access cannabis (such as young people or those already struggling with substance addiction) and reduce public exposure to environmental cannabis smoke, the WECHU encourages municipalities to implement policy statements which expand upon the limited restrictions implemented by the province. This can be done by increasing the setbacks from schools, and also by developing setback criteria from other sensitive land uses such as schools, libraries, parks, recreational centres, youth-serving facilities, mental health and substance addiction treatment centres, and more.
