Background and Analysis
As reported at the March 9, 2021 Council Meeting, Royalty General Construction Ltd., being the company chosen to repair the Pool Change Room submitted a cost increase for building materials. This increase in costs is over and above an already large initial quote for the project.
The suggestion being made to Council at this time is to hold offon re-tendering and instead move forward with having an Engineer design plans, those plans would encompass a slightly larger structure that would be fully accessible being compliant with the Building Code and Accessibility of Ontario and Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements. Agenda Item #a. Page 20 of 55
Once the design is completed by the engineer then re-tender to source out the construction of the project.
Major Benefits
To have a new pool change room that is compliant with the Building Code and the AODA requirements.
Risk/Safety Benefits Having design plans created from new and not building on the existing pad allows for enhanced features and better functionality for the pool change room, being built to Code and for accessibility.
Legal Implications/Legislative Requirements Structures are to be accessible for use under the Accessibility of Ontario Disabilities Act. (AODA) and the Building Code.
Financial Implications
Cost of design plans within the 2021 Budget
Follow Up Action To reach out to an Engineer forthe services of designing the new pool change room and once completed then begin the re-tendering process for the construction.

1. Introduction
Bell Mobility Inc. (“Bell”) is committed to improving the quality of wireless coverage in the Municipality of Highlands East. The availability and quality of service in the Town of Wilberforce and surrounding area does not currently meet Bell standards nor the needs of Bell customers.
With growing wireless traffic, dependable service availability has diminished and will continue to diminish until additional wireless telecommunication infrastructure is installed to relieve this network coverage and capacity issue. The proposed tower would also assist with increased communication capabilities for emergency services.
This Project Description Report provides detailed information on this telecommunications tower, which is proposed to improve wireless mobile LTE network and Wireless to the Home (“WTTH”) home internet services to the area, as well as information regarding site selection, consultation, health and safety, and concurrence requirements.
2. Proposed Location
Bell is proposing a new 100m guyed telecommunications tower located on a privately owned property abutting Clark Hill Rd. The site is located on lands designated as “Rural” in the Official Plan. (please note radio installations are federally regulated and do not need to adhere to local zoning by-law regulations). The site is located at the top of the hill between Clark hill Rd and Loop Rd.
In selecting the proposed location, a number of other areas were also considered and ruled out in favour of the current proposed site.
a. Evaluation of Existing Structures. As required by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (“ISED”, formerly known as Industry Canada), before a new free standing tower is proposed, a telecommunications carrier must make best efforts to evaluate any existing structures - towers or rooftops - that may be available to support new equipment or to use for co-location. After careful examination of buildings and the nearest towers, it has been determined there are no viable existing structures in the area that would be suitable for achieving the robust network objectives entailed in this
Agenda Item #b. Page 24 of 55
proposal. Therefore, new facilities are required to host equipment in order to bring robust wireless mobile LTE network coverage and capacity, as well as high-speed Wireless to the Home (“WTTH”) home internet services to this community.
b. Alternative Sites Considered.
Various other sites in the area were investigated by Bell that were rejected in favour of the current proposed site for various reasons – mostly due to Radio Frequency (RF) signal propagation issues due to topographical constraints in the area, and significant road and utility access concerns. These sites and general areas were assessed by a detailed desktop analysis conducted by Bell’s Radio Frequency Engineering Department, and subsequently in the field by conducting multiple site visits by the project team personnel. The proposed site location is depicted under Appendix 1: Proposed Location and the Alternative Sites considered (5) are depicted under Appendix 2: Alternative Sites.
Areas further outside of Wilberforce were considered for this proposal, and were quickly rejected in favour of the current proposed location for obvious reasons – namely, Radio Frequency (RF) signal propagation issues due to topographical constraints in the area, significant road and utility access concerns location within the network, and the need to be closer to users to maximize coverage and capacity for the community. This proposed tower needs to be close to Wilberforce and the centre of town to reach the town of Wilberforce and surrounding areas. The current proposed location and elevation will achieve network objectives required to bring this project forward.
Below is a summary of Alternative Sites that were assessed and rejected in favour of the currently proposed location (“CAN#1”). These rejected site locations are depicted in Appendix 2:
(1) Proposed Site (CAN#1):
- Selected by Radio Frequency Department (RF) due to elevation and relative location to provide service to nearby communities. - Ideal site for RF signal propagation to maximize connectivity to nearby communities (Wilberforce, South Wilberforce, Pusey, Wilbermere Lake, Cockle Lake, Little Esson Lake, Pusey Lake, and residences/cottages along the roads in the surrounding area. - Highest ranked elevation and relative location amidst significant topographical signal obstruction constraints in the area - key constraints affecting potential service to nearby communities and lakes. - Significant and largest setback from lakes and town/populated areas when compared to potential alternative sites. - Existing and safe entrance and utility access direct to property from municipal road. - Minimal tree removal and related disturbance area when compared to potential alternative sites.
(2) CAN#2 (Rejected):
- Rejected in favour of CAN#1 due to RF and development constraints. - No viable direct hydro and road access options across single property (multiple easements and crossings would be required). - Lower ground elevation, resulting in obstruction of service to some communities in the area. - Diminished coverage and capacity to key areas due to topographical constraints, terrain and vegetation signal obstruction to some populated areas. - Significantly more impactful tree removal and disturbance area requirements. - Closer proximity to Cockle Lake and greater aesthetic impacts along Essonville Line.
Agenda Item #b. Page 25 of 55
(3) CAN#3 (Rejected):
- Rejected in favour of CAN#1 due to RF and development constraints. - Lower ground elevation, resulting in obstruction of service to some communities in the area. - Diminished coverage and capacity to key areas due to topographical constraints, terrain and vegetation signal obstruction to some populated areas. - Greater distance to utility and road access (or multiple easements required). - Significantly more impactful tree removal and disturbance area requirements by way of viable access from Clark Hill Road. - Closer proximity to Cockle Lake and greater aesthetic impacts along Essonville Line and Loop Rd.
(4) CAN#4 (Rejected):
- Rejected in favour of CAN#1 due to RF and development constraints. - Poor coverage to key areas due to topographical constraints, terrain and vegetation signal obstruction to many populated areas. - No viable direct hydro and road access options across single property (multiple easements and crossings would be required). - Drastically more impactful tree removal and disturbance area requirements. - Unnecessary aesthetic impacts to Little Esson Lake.
(5) CAN#5 (Rejected):
- Rejected in favour of CAN#1 due to RF and development constraints. - Poor coverage to key areas due to topographical constraints, terrain and vegetation signal obstruction to many populated areas. - No viable direct hydro and road access options across single property (multiple easements and crossings would be required). - Close proximity to waterbody, potential environmental constraints, and significantly more impactful tree removal and disturbance area requirements.
NOTE - This community is significantly underserviced from a network infrstructure standpoint, and attempts to move the proposed tower further from the town centre, or to reduce the height of this proposal by even a few metres, results in significantly diminished services to surrounding areas. Line of sight and elevation options are severely limited due to the drastically shifting topography in the region. As such, and in accordance with the assessment of alternate sites above; this current proposed location is the optimal and only location that can viably reach the maximum number of populated areas in the service area and thereby meet the necessary network objectives to move these essential network improvements forward.
3. Site Selection
The selected site was carefully determined based on RF signal propagation modelling, visual impact considerations, technical requirements, and considering existing coverage for the service area. This site offers an optimal location for the proposed tower to provide improved services to Wilberforce and the surrounding communities. while producing minimal impact on the area’s aesthetic compared to alternative locations and tower designs.
The site is located approximately 1.4km south of the centre of the Town of Wilberforce, on the way out of the town along Loop Rd. The roadside is lined with mature trees that help mitigate the view from street level. In addition, this site was chosen due to the substantial setback distances from residential properties and, schools, and minimized impact on scenic vistas in the region wherever possible. The proposed location is greater than 480m from the closest existing dwelling and maximizes its distance from natural and cultural heritage features. The site is located to the south of the majority of the properties in the area, which have the majority of views remaining unobstructed by the tower. Other locations assessed resulted in either drastically less coverage for people in the area, or were deemed unviable due to environmental, road and
Agenda Item #b. Page 26 of 55
utility access constraints. Some visual impacts on residences and vistas in the area as a result of the proposed tower are necessary. The tower will not be visible to the vast majority of people benefitting from the services it will provide to Wilberforce and the surrounding area. We ask the community to consider that such impacts will diminish over time as the tower becomes familiar, and that such impacts are absolutely necessary in order to viably bring wireless mobile LTE network and home internet connectivity to this area.
4. Proposed Design and Height
In order to enhance wireless service, Bell is proposing to install a new 52.1m lattice tri-pole tower and radio equipment shelter, located in the south west corner of the property to support a new radiocommunications facility that will service the area. The proposed tower will support co-location options for other carriers. Bell would process applications from other carriers to co-locate in the future as required under the regulatory framework. The proposed tower will be designed to accommodate more than one carrier.
Bell has completed a survey plan (see Appendix 4: Survey Plan) as well as visual simulations of the proposed tower (see Appendix 6: Visual Simulations).
5. Coverage Objectives:
Bell is committed to providing a reliable and robust wireless network for many communities in the Municipality of East Highlands by way of this proposal. In order to achieve this, gaps in coverage and capacity have been identified and must be rectified. All antenna installations are strategically implemented to result in seamless transmission signals wherever possible and appropriate.
Bell currently has a wireless voice and data coverage hole and diminished capacity in this area as the nearest tower sites are many kilometers apart. The intent of this site is to improve network capacity and provide vastly improved wireless mobile LTE network and wireless home internet access options for people living in communities including, but not limited to: Wilberforce, South Wilberforce, Pusey, Wilbermere Lake, Cockle Lake, Little Esson Lake, Pusey Lake, and residences/cottages along the local roads in the surrounding area.
The proposed tower will vastly improve network capacity and coverage on the mobile LTE network, and provide much needed wireless home internet services in this community by bringing Wireless to the Home (“WTTH”) services for those that can access the signal. Coverage for the community will be rated as excellent if the proposed tower is installed. The proposed location will ensure that wireless subscribers in the community will have access to all of Bell’s high band LTE network, and Wireless to the Premises internet service (WTTH) while ensuring sufficient network capacity exists to address the massive growth in the consumption of wireless services.
6. Public Consultation Process
As prescribed by the federal ministry ISEDC (formerly Industry Canada), Bell will provide all property owners within a radius of 300 metres from the tower site with a notification package that includes tower proposal information and an invitation to comment on this proposal. Municipal staff will also receive the same package. Members of the public interested in delivering comments and questions pertaining to this proposal
Agenda Item #b. Page 27 of 55
will be invited to officially comment on this proposal by mail, fax, email, during the 30-day public consultation period.
Bell will also post a notice in “The Highlander” and the “Bancroft Times” to notify the community upon the commencement of the 30-day public consultation period, and invite interested members of the public to participate in the consultation.
At the conclusion of the consultation period, Bell will prepare and submit to the Township a record of the consultation, including a summary or all comments received, correspondence with the public, as well all replies provided by Bell during the consultation period to interested members of the community.
7. Concurrence Requirements
Although Bell is exclusively regulated by the Federal Government, ISEDC requires Bell to consult with the land use authority as a commenting body in the sitting of antenna support structures. As a form of comment, Bell will be seeking concurrence from the Town in the form of a Resolution, Minutes of a committee meeting or council and/or a letter that addresses the following items:
• The Town is satisfied with the consultation process, having been conducted in accordance with ISEDC regulations; • The proposed design and location are acceptable in order to bring service to the area; • That the Township has been consulted and concurs with the tower proposal.
8. Health and Safety Compliance
The installation and operation of the proposed self-support tower will be compliance with the following safety standards:
a) Safety Code 6 Bell attests that the proposed self-support tower will at all times comply with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 which limits the public’s exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) and ensures public safety. This code is based on current, accepted scientific data. Additional information on health and safety may be found on-line at:
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/h_sf01702.html
Safety Code 6 takes into account all RF emissions in the area to ensure levels in EMF energy operate within the safety limits. Safety Code 6 exposure limits are not device specific, but the limits do take into account the total exposure from all sources of RF energy.
For more detailed information on Safety Code 6, please see:
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/hc-sc/migration/hc-sc/ewh- semt/alt_formats/pdf/consult/_2014/safety_code_6-code_securite_6/final-finale-eng.pdf
Agenda Item #b. Page 28 of 55
b) Environmental There are no environmental restrictions for this proposed site location. Bell will undertake all the necessary environmental assessment(s) to mitigate potential impacts in the siting and construction of the proposed tower. The proposed site is not within Environmental Protection or Shoreline Areas as per Schedule A in the Township’s Official Plan or within any Resources, Hazards, and General Overlay Designations.
c) Engineering Practices Bell attests that the proposed tower will be constructed in compliance with all applicable building standards and comply with good engineering practices including structural adequacy
d) Transport Canada’s Aeronautical Obstruction Marking Requirements The proposed tower will be in compliance with Transport Canada and NAV CANADA aeronautical safety requirements. Bell will submit an application to Transport Canada and NAV CANADA. It is expected that standard structure lighting will be required for this proposal.
9. Conclusion
Bell is seeking to improve high speed wireless service to the residential communities and businesses in and around Wilberforce in the Township of Highlands East. To provide these essential services, Bell is proposing the construction of a new 100m guyed telecommunications tower. After investigating the area, reviewing local and federal regulations and considering Bell’s technical requirements, Bell finds the proposed infrastructure optimal as it has taken into consideration the following:
• Wireless LTE network coverage and capacity improvements are required in the area; • Urgent and essential access to high-speed home internet services (“WTTH”); • The tower is located on lands designated as “Rural” in the Official Plan; • The tower is optimally situated to provide high quality service to subscribers of Bell, Virgin, Lucky Mobile, TELUS, Koodo and Public Mobile services; • The tower is required due to a lack of appropriate co-location opportunities; • The tower is located greater than 440 metres away from the nearest main public road; • The tower is located greater than 480 metres away from the nearest residential dwelling; • The tower is located with minimal direct interference with most of the general public views and vistas; • The tower is compliant with federal ISEDC regulations.

Recommendation: That Haliburton County Committee of the Whole receives the March 10, 2021 staff report on the County of Haliburton Economic Development and that it be recommended to Haliburton County Council that staff be directed to proceed with the development of the job description based on direction received from Committee; and That this report be forwarded to the local municipalities for information and to provide an opportunity for input.
Background: In the fall of 2019, County Council undertook a strategy session which resulted in the development of a number of initiatives to be completed in this term. One of those priorities was the creation of a county-wide economic development function. In addition, there were three action items to guide the work of Council and staff on this initiative. The first was to define what economic development “means” for the County using the Destination Development Plan to inform the process. The second was to determine what structure will be required to deliver the determined services. The third and final action item was the decision to hire a staff person to perform the work.
Early in the County of Haliburton Service Delivery Review it became evident that county-wide economic development would be one of the focus areas. As a result, the decision was made to delay work on the economic development priority until the service delivery review was complete. It was hoped that the consultation and review of best practices would inform our work moving forward.
The Service Delivery Review (SDR) final report did, in fact, recommend the establishment of a County economic development service that would not only support increased coordination between communities, but would also support municipalities’ eligibility for provincial and federal programs that require larger population sizes and access to different forums.
This recommendation was based on feedback received from members of Council, staff, and consultation sessions that included the Chamber of Commerce, Haliburton Village BIA, Haliburton County Development Corporation, Algonquin Gateway Business Association, and the Highlands East Economic Development Committee. Agenda Item #c. Page 42 of 55
The results of the consultation can be summarized as follows:
• Improving economic development, attracting and maintaining business/employers was key for growth across the Haliburton County municipalities; • Seasonal economy was unsustainable for residents; • In order to support economic development and business, increased access to community services (transportation, affordable housing, education and childcare) are needed; • Local initiatives such as #buycloseby can be effective at the local level, but need further support to get lift across other municipalities; • Business stakeholders commented that economic development isn’t their explicit mandate, and to support their efforts great support is needed from local governments to build upon their efforts; • For economic development to be effective it needs to be done in tandem by the local Haliburton municipalities and the County; • Tourism efforts by the County (with coordination from local municipalities) have been effective, in order for an economic development approach to be effective it needs to be separate, and go beyond tourism; • Developers and businesses mentioned that neighboring municipalities offer a “concierge approach” which can guide developers and potential future business though municipal processes. The lack of personal relationship can make municipal processes seem complex and dissuade development.
The SDR recommended that this position be governed by County Council as opposed to a third party economic development agency.
While the stakeholders who were consulted expressed a desire to have an economic development function that would be distinct from tourism, it is challenging to completely separate the two functions in Haliburton County. One challenge in developing the position will be to find a way to ensure those important economic development functions remain separate, but connected in a meaningful way.
The connection linkages between tourism and economic development were demonstrated further in the Destination Management Plan which was adopted by Council in December 2020. I will not include a lot of detail on the recommendations outlined in that plan, but note that it suggested work was necessary in areas such as workforce development, housing, and transportation. It also provided tactics that emphasized the need for a “year round” economy, enhanced festivals and event facilities, and a diversified, connected and expanded trail network.
The Destination Management Plan recommended working with a Friends of the Plan Advisory Council to lead initiatives, build community networks, drive stakeholder adoption, and share results.
Analysis: The intent of this report is not to provide a complete mandate for the proposed position, but to generate conversation that will provide direction on governance, reporting relationships, and high level understanding of the mandate envisioned by County Council. This would include general guidance on how the County economic development position will interact with other organizations involved in economic development activities such as local municipalities, Haliburton County Development Corporation, business associations, Chamber of Commerce and others as we seek to develop clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
Agenda Item #c. Page 43 of 55
Mandate
As noted in the background of this report, it is important that the role of the County economic development position be clearly defined. This will ensure that specific and measurable goals and performance benchmarks are established.
While the recommended mandate listed below provides a high level overview of the type of work to be undertaken by County economic development, the SDR suggested that the creation of a detailed economic development plan should be completed in the first year. This would be done in consultation with Council, and would provide more specific definition of the role and mandate of the position.
This work, however, is not done in a silo. Economic development activities are currently being provided by a number of organizations in the County. Although it is not an exhaustive list, the following are some examples of those activities, with the current service provider of those services noted in brackets. In many cases, it will be important that county staff remain engaged with those providers, but they will not become directly involved in those activities.
• Tourism Marketing and Brand Development (Tourism Department); • Tourism product development (private, not for profit, and volunteer sectors); • Culture and Recreation including implementation of cultural plans, recreation and culture facilities, marketing of tourist and cultural attractions such as trails, cultural centres/museums, sculpture forest, geocaching, the operation of visitor information centres, and support of events (Local Municipalities); • Business Development including entrepreneurship development, access to capital, buy local initiatives, and networking (Business Associations such and AGBA, Chamber of Commerce, Business Development Bank of Canada, HCDC and others); and • Planning and Infrastructure Development including business park development, and land use planning process navigation (planning staff from Local Municipalities and County).
Recommendation
That the mandate for the newly created position include activities such as:
• data gathering and analysis to create updated community profile and guide workplan; • identification of gaps in workforce, and work with appropriate agencies to address those gaps (eg. Workforce Development Board, educational institutions, and employment services); • develop and maintain an inventory of employment lands and assistance with marketing; • investment attraction and support of those looking to start or move businesses to Haliburton County; • Business Retention and Expansion in partnership with Local Municipalities; • Participate in opportunities with external organizations such as WDB, EOLC, and EOEDC when their activities support Haliburton County economic development strategy; and • Development of concierge service as described in the SDR working with community partners.
Governance
As noted in the background, Strategy Corp recommended that this position be governed directly by County Council. By extension, the staff position would become part of the organizational structure of the County.
Agenda Item #c. Page 44 of 55
County Council recently disbanded the Tourism Advisory Committee with a view to implementing a new structure that would be appropriate to advance the recommendations in the Destination Management Plan.
Because of the linkages between Tourism and Economic Development, it is important that the governance structure support that connection.
Recommendation
That an Economic Development and Tourism Committee be established that is made up of a County Council representative(s) from each local municipality. This could be all members of County Council, or a smaller number but critical that each municipality is represented.
As the next two years will involve the implementation of recommendations outlined in the Destination Management Plan, and also the development and implementation of an economic development plan it is anticipated that the workload will merit a standalone committee.
In addition, staff from the two departments will be required to connect regularly with “Friends of the Destination Management Plan” and economic development partners, both of whom will require a mandate to be developed and approved by County Council. This interaction will be critical to the successful implementation of new strategies in both areas. Having the staff report back to the County Council Committee will ensure that no silos occur.
Organizational Structure
The SDR suggested that the new economic development position be developed as a manager in the organizational structure. The suggested salary range of $80 - $90,000 per annum.
When considering the appropriate “level” to place a position in the organizational structure, I consider things like the length of the planning horizon, the position level of their contacts inside and outside the county organization, and the degree of connection with Council at the County and local municipalities. While all functions are important, I also consider the relative impact this position will have on the community. This sometimes results in a structure that is somewhat unique. For example, in many communities Tourism is part of a multi-functional department and is led by a manager. Because of its relative impact on the community’s success here in Haliburton County, Council determined it was most appropriate to have Tourism lead by a director level position.
Recommendation
As this position will have a planning horizon of up to 10 years when developing strategies and tactics, and because they will report regularly to County Council and often present to local municipal Councils, and because the success of this new venture will be so critical to the community’s future, it is recommended that this new position be placed in the “director” level reporting directly to the CAO. This certainly has a financial impact as the salary grid would be approximately $96,500 to $111,830.

The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1
Dear Premier Ford,
Re: Colour Coded Capacity Limits
At its meeting held on March 1, 2021, Sarnia City Council discussed the challenges local businesses are facing with respect to the colour coded system within the Province’s COVID-19 Response Framework. The following motion was adopted:
That Sarnia City Council strongly advocate to the Province of Ontario that they adjust the capacity limits for dining, restaurants, sporting and recreational facilities, places of worship, event centers, and all retail/small businesses as part of the colour coded system.
The following rationale was provided with the introduction of the motion:
The red zone currently only allows 10 people indoors at a dining or a sporting / recreational facility (regardless of the size), places of worship are capped at 30% or 50 people, and retail / small business is limited to a 50% capacity. These businesses and organizations have heavily invested in facility improvements and expensive upgrades to ensure safe social distancing and have all the appropriate safety and protection measures in place. Businesses in particular cannot properly plan under the current uncertainty and that means the loss of jobs and income for both workers and owners as well as mental health challenges. Agenda Item #8.1 Page 47 of 55
Indoor capacity limits for restaurants, dining, sporting / recreational facilities, event centers, retail / small business, and places of worship should not involve arbitrary numbers (regardless of size), but instead be changed to the amount of people per facility which ensures that strict and safe social distancing can be maintained.
Sarnia City Council has requested that all municipalities in Ontario join this advocacy effort.
On behalf of Sarnia City Council, I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Amy Burkhart Acting City Clerk
