ANGIE HACHÉ, GREFFIÈRE MUNICIPAL FRANCA BORTOLUSSI, SECRÉTAIRE DU CONSEIL
CONSEIL MUNICIPAL (50e) (2009-04-29) - 7 - Presentations
Presented To: City Council For Information Only Presented: Wednesday, Apr 29, 2009 Maley Drive Extension and Widening Project - Report Date Wednesday, Apr 22, 2009 Cost Estimate Type: Presentations
Recommendation Signed By For Information Only
Report Prepared By Background David Shelsted, MBA, P.Eng. Roads Engineer The Maley Drive Extension and Widening Project (Project) was Digitally Signed Apr 24, 09 presented to Council as part of the Strategic Priorities meeting on Division Review October 15, 2008, and at the February 11, 2009, Council Robert Falcioni, P.Eng. Director of Roads and Transportation meeting. At the February 19, 2009, Finance Committee meeting, Digitally Signed Apr 24, 09 Council identified this project as the City’s submission to the Recommended by the Department Building Canada Fund for financial support from the Federal and Greg Clausen, P.Eng. Provincial levels of government. Prior to the submission, Council General Manager of Infrastructure requested additional detail and clarification on the $115 Million Services Digitally Signed Apr 24, 09 total project cost estimate. Recommended by the C.A.O. Doug Nadorozny Construction Cost Estimate Acting Chief Administrative Officer Digitally Signed Apr 24, 09
Last fall, the City retained AECOM (formerly EarthTech), to assist staff in the preparation of an updated cost estimate for the October 15, 2008 report and presentation. The Consultant utilized the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Parametric Estimating Guide (2007) along with construction costs from recent City projects to develop the cost estimate. This cost estimate was prepared utilizing per kilometre and per square metre costs depending on the type of construction. This estimating method is standard industry practice for budgeting purposes prior to detailed design being completed and exact quantities known. There are five types of road construction proposed. The following table summarizes these five types and their location.
Type of Road Construction Location New Four (4) Lane Divided Between College Boreal and Barry Downe Road Page 17 of 115 New Two (2) Lane Barry Downe Road to proposed CN Overpass and Connection at National Street to Old Falconbridge Hwy. Reconstruction Two (2) Lane Barry Downe Road to Proposed CN Overpass Major Widening CPR Overpass to College Boreal Proposed CN Overpass to Falconbridge Hwy Widening of Notre Dame Avenue New Single Lane Ramps At all interchanges
Two (2) unit costs were used for the structures. The higher unit cost is appropriate for smaller area quantities, where the economies of scale cannot be realized.
The following table summarizes the costs used for each type of typical road construction:
Type of Road Section Unit Costing Millions/km New Four (4) Lane Divided $4.0 Major Widening $2.5 New Two (2) Lane $2.0 New Single Lane Ramps $1.0 Reconstruction Two (2) Lane $0.7
Type of Bridge Section Unit Cost/Sq. Metre Small Bridge $5,500 Large Bridge $4,000
The above costs are consistent with recent City contracts and MTO estimating.
The projected inflation has been referenced/extrapolated from the MTO Parametric Estimating Guide. The projected annual inflation ranges from six (6) percent to ten (10) percent for road work and from eight (8) to nineteen (19) percent for structures. Given the current economic environment actual inflation may change; however, the MTO guide provides the most accurate forecast of inflation available. We have assumed that the rate of inflation will not change.
The detailed cost estimate is attached as Appendix 1. This detailed cost estimate assumes the project starts in 2009 and is completed in 2014. If the project can be completed in a shorter time frame, the costs will be reduced.
Property Acquisition Costs
The property acquisition for this Project was initiated over ten (10) years ago. Sections of the required property were donated by the Nickel District Conservation Authority and several parcels were acquired from private owners for approximately $100,000. Additional property will be acquired from residents, businesses, and property owned by Vale Inco. The total cost to acquire the remainder of the properties is $7 million based on preliminary estimates. Similarly, the property requirements and resulting estimate is based on the preliminary road conceptual alignment.
Page 18 of 115
Utility Relocation Costs
Summary of utility relocation costs:
Utility Relocation Required Estimate (Millions) Hydro One $5.6 Sudbury Hydro $0.4 Union Gas $3.6 Total $9.6
Engineering Costs
Engineering costs for detailed design, contract administration, inspection and materials testing services, are estimated at fifteen (15) percent of the estimated construction value.
Contingency Allowances
Contingency allowances are estimated as ten (10) percent of the construction value, and are intended to cover costs for unforeseen items that are encountered during the project.
Project Management
Upon receiving Building Canada approval, the City will assign a full-time Project Manager to this project until the road is opened. The Project Manager in association with the Project Consultant will provide Council, as a minimum, quarterly progress reports and updates including costs and schedules.

PRESENTATIONS
Item 1 Report dated February 23, 2009 was received from the Chief 2009 Property Tax Policy Financial Officer/Treasurer regarding 2009 Property Tax Policy.
E. Stankiewicz, Manager of Financial Planning & Policy, made an electronic presentation entitled “Property Tax Policy for 2009”. The purpose is to present the final stage of the 2009 budget process and to receive Council’s approval of the policy in order that the tax billing process can proceed. He indicated that direction is being sought on two issues: setting of tax ratios and capping decisions. He outlined the valuation changes resulting from re-assessment. He explained, in detail, Decision One regarding the revenue neutral tax rates, Decision Two regarding industrial tax ratio above threshold and Decision Three regarding tax capping. He outlined the impact of using no additional capping tools and using all capping tools. He also outlined the municipal tax impact for residential properties with no area rating and with area rating and the impact for industrial properties with area rating. He summarized by stating that the recommendations presented are consistent with this and previous Council policy in achieving the objective of benefitting the residential property owners and having more business owners paying their true Current Value Assessment taxes.
The following resolution was presented:
2009-138 Callaghan-Craig: 1) WHEREAS as a result of the property reassessment for 2009 taxation year, there has been an inter-class shifting of tax burdens;

Councillor Callaghan advised he is a member of the Library Board and the Property Sub-committee and indicated that within the next month or so they should be in a position to update Council and possibly the community.
Sudbury Southwest Councillor Barbeau advised of a public meeting in Lively By-pass Four-laning regarding the Sudbury Southwest By-pass four-laning and requested staff’s comments on the Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) preferred option.
The Acting Chief Administrative Officer advised that staff has been requested to comment on all four options and a thorough report will be presented for Council to make a decision.
Maley Drive Extension Councillor Callaghan asked about the cost of the Maley Drive extension. He indicated the Ministry of Transportation’s (MTO) cost of construction on Highway 69 South was stated as $10 M per kilometer. An email of February 19, 2009 identified the MTO’s estimate for a new 4-lane highway as between $3.1 M to $7.7 M per kilometer. He requested a report setting out the cost of the Maley Drive extension. He also asked about the Ontario Provincial Design Standards for roads.

Street Sweeping The General Manager of Infrastructure Services stated that the sweepers are already working in areas where conditions permit. The program will be accelerated as the weather improves. He indicated the goal is to have the streets cleaned, at least the first time, by the May long weekend.
Contractor Warranties Mayor Rodriguez asked what kind of warranty the City received when a contractor does work on a road.
The General Manager of Infrastructure Services indicated that the warranty for any work done by a contractor is two years. If there are any deficiencies, the contractor is responsible for the repair. However, if there is an existing precondition, the contractor cannot be held responsible. He further indicated that the City would like to extend the warranty to three or five years in an attempt to ensure better quality of work; however, this would result in increased costs.

4.0 DELEGATION / PRESENTATION
i) Blue-Green Algae: A Public Health Perspective Ed Gardner, Manager of the Environmental Health Division, was welcomed. Given the increase in number of advisories and increased interest from the public to learn more about blue-green algae, recent community and municipal presentations have been made upon specific requests.
Board members were informed of blue-green algae and algae blooms. E. Gardner discussed how such blooms occur and actions that can be taken to prevent them. He also discussed their potential health effects. The roles of the Ministry of the Environment as well as of the Sudbury & District Health Unit (SDHU) as it relates to blue-green algae were outlined. Blue-green algae are not unique to Sudbury and Manitoulin districts lakes and rivers as they have been found worldwide.
Dr. Sutcliffe concluded that the health unit also has a responsibility to educate the public to ensure there is a general level of awareness regarding blue-green algae phenomenon and what actions can be taken. E. Gardner was thanked for his presentation. SDBH Minutes March 19, 2009 1/7 Page 65 of 115 Sudbury & District Board of Health Unapproved Minutes March 19, 2009 Page 2 of 7

L. Gamble noted that further to the Board motion 10-09, the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers passed a resolution requesting a breakdown for the costs associated with the downtown satellite capital project. Dr. Sutcliffe responded that the letter from the Township was received and reviewed this morning. A response has been drafted clarifying that the total project cost was $434,752 representing a provincial share at $326,064 of the 75:25 funding formula and the municipal at $108,688. The health unit was successful in receiving 75% of the project cost from the Ministry. It was clarified that the $108,688 figure is the municipal contribution to the project and not a cost overrun and that the project funding plan included finding the municipal share of the project either from within year surplus or from the Board’s reserve fund. A response will be sent to the Township. Dr. Sutcliffe invited L. Gamble to discuss this further with her should he wish.

6.0 BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES
7.0 REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH / CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
i) March 2009 – Medical Officer of Health / Chief Executive Officer Report
Dr. Sutcliffe is pleased to share that, through the Ministry of Health Promotion’s Steering Committee tasked to develop Guidance Documents, there is a renewed government interest in the public health role in mental health promotion. Although there is no specific Ontario Public Health Standard for mental health, Dr. Sutcliffe is hopeful that the Guidance Documents will at least incorporate the important concepts of mental health promotion into other health promotion program standard areas.
Upcoming visits to the SDHU include the Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health Office from the Ministry of Health Promotion as well as from the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion as part of their strategic planning consultation process.
As noted at the last Board meeting, the Ministry has advised of expenditure restraints (see memo 8 ii) f)) and we understand that transfer payment agencies such as boards of health are expected to act consistently. Messaging from the Ministry continues to indicate that there will be an overall 2009 funding allocation of not more than 5% in growth which will include a 3% growth envelope and another 2% funding allowance to be determined by the Ministry. It is possible that further information will be available following the provincial budget announcement on March 26.
In this context, the 2009 SDHU budget is being implemented as per the Board-approved budget, with the exception of the Foundational Standard-related request for which we will await Ministry approval.
SDBH Minutes March 19, 2009 2/7 Page 66 of 115 Sudbury & District Board of Health Unapproved Minutes March 19, 2009 Page 3 of 7
P. Sutcliffe has communicated with all health unit staff regarding the economic climate. She committed to keep staff informed of any developments impacting our budget and reminded staff of the health unit programs and services which are available to them during difficult and stressful times.
An update was provided regarding the Mumps Catch-up Campaign which aims at providing a second measles, mumps and rubella immunization through post-secondary clinics to those born between 1970 and 1991.
Board members are invited to attend the launch of the Giant Colon Exhibit at the New Sudbury Center on March 28 at 10 a.m. The 40-foot replica of a human colon will be exhibited from March 28 to April 2 as part of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month activities.

Questions regarding the MOH report were entertained and clarification was provided regarding inspection and licensing of fast food stands and mobile food premises such as hot dog carts and chip wagons.
14-09 ACCEPTANCE OF REPORT Moved by Spencer - Girouard: THAT the Report of the Medical Officer of Health/ Chief Executive Officer for the month of March 2009 be accepted as distributed.
CARRIED 8.0 NEW BUSINESS
i) Items for Discussion
a) Sector Engagement on Building Public Health Capacity - Letter from the Acting Chief Medical Officer of Health and Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health, Health Protection, and Acting Assistant Deputy Minister dated March 9, 2009 - Building Capacity for Local Public Health in Ontario: A Discussion Paper, March 2009
Board members are encouraged to provide their input and perspectives on building public health capacity at the local level by individually reviewing the discussion paper “Building Capacity for Local Public Health in Ontario” and providing feedback on the paper through an online survey developed by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Ministry of Health Promotion. This initiative follows up on the issues raised by the Capacity Review Committee (CRC)’s recommendations.
In response to an inquiry, P. Sutcliffe noted that one of the CRC’s recommendation to address capacity issues was to reduce the number of health units from 36 to 25. The only northern Ontario merger specified in the CRC’s recommendations was between the Timiskaming and Porcupine health units.
SDBH Minutes March 19, 2009 3/7 Page 67 of 115 Sudbury & District Board of Health Unapproved Minutes March 19, 2009 Page 4 of 7
Although there are various strategies to address the ongoing challenges of recruitment and retention of qualified Medical Officers of Health and Associate Medical Officers of Health, this continues to be of concern locally and provincially.
The hyperlink provided in the letter dated March 9, 2009, regarding the launch of the sector engagement links to the discussion paper as well as to the online survey which contains 16 questions. Board members were reminded of the April 3 deadline for completing this survey.
b) Put Food in the Budget Campaign
In response to a question, it was explained that today’s motion does not address low income earners, however, there are other components of the 25 in 5 poverty advocacy plan that do. The overall strategy includes additional initiatives that apply to all people and address many issues including housing.
From a public health perspective, it is pointless to encourage healthy eating if people cannot afford to purchase healthy food. Through efforts of alPHa and provincial health units, we are advocating for the government to make the connection between eating and overall health and well being.
The Health Unit is partnering with the Social Planning Council of Sudbury to host a “Put Food in the Budget” event tomorrow at the downtown Rainbow satellite office between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., where people on social assistance are invited to visit the Health Unit’s Rainbow Centre site. Stories are also being posted on to www.povertywatchontario.ca website about what an extra $100 a month for food would mean for them and their family.

WHEREAS the Analysis of Ontario sample in Cycle 2.2 of the Canadian Community Health Survey (2004) revealed that food insecurity was reported in over 60 per cent of households in which the main source of income was social assistance; and
WHEREAS under motion 59-08 the Sudbury & District Board of Health requested that the provincial poverty reduction plan incorporate Nutritious Food Basket findings from across the province in developing targets and strategies; and
WHEREAS the Sudbury & District Health Unit has supported the Community Strategy to Reduce Poverty in the City of Greater Sudbury (2008) and has endorsed the 25 in 5 Founding Declaration; and
WHEREAS the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alPHa) is partnering with the 25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction in an Ontario wide campaign, “Put Food in the Budget”, to urge the Ontario government to add a Healthy Food Supplement to the
SDBH Minutes March 19, 2009 4/7 Page 68 of 115 Sudbury & District Board of Health Unapproved Minutes March 19, 2009 Page 5 of 7
Basic Needs Allowance for all adult recipients of social assistance, as part of the Spring 2009 budget; and
WHEREAS the Healthy Food Supplement, a $100 monthly supplement for all adults receiving social assistance, will support the province in making progress on its stated commitment to reduce poverty by 25 per cent over the next 5 years; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Sudbury & District Board of Health support the “Put Food in the Budget” campaign and inform the Premier, local Members of Provincial Parliament, alPHa and the 25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction of the same; and
FURTHER THAT the Sudbury & District Board of Health share this motion with appropriate community agencies and constituent municipalities and seek their respective support. CARRIED

In September, 2008, Council approved the Accessible Playground Project as recommended by the Accessibility Advisory Panel. Accessible Playgrounds are those which give “the greatest number of people the opportunity to participate fully in the greatest number of activities” so that “children are able to play together at a variety of activities” and that “‘accessible’ play events are not set apart from other activities and structures”. In Ward Twelve, the Community Action Network and Playground Association are working together to redevelop Ridgecrest Playground into a fully accessible and integrated community gather place. The playground equipment for this location was included in the RFP for Accessible Playground Equipment.
The RFP described a requirement that the proposed equipment facilitate a variety of stimulating movements, such as sliding, bouncing, balancing, spinning and climbing and that the equipment be designed to include persons with all types of disabilities by considering, ramps, lifts and multiple points of access, multi sensory rich and multipurpose equipment, and stimulation through the use of physical spaces, music, sound, lighting and texture. The structures are to be on entirely accessible and inclusive surfaces suitable to our northern climate.
Each proposal received was evaluated by a staff committee, comprised of Caroline Hallsworth, Cindy Dent, Kevan Moxam and Leigh Lesar. Sally Spence, Clinical Manager, Children’s Treatment Centre, also sat on the committee, contributing her valuable knowledge about children with disabilities and how the equipment was suited to their needs. The evaluation team used the following criteria to evaluate each proposal:
Inclusiveness for all disabilities and age groups 20%
Accessibility (define accessibility levels and features) 20%
Creativity of design suitable to the environment 20%
Service and Warranty 20%
Page 82 of 115 Price 20%
Proposals were received from five companies. Each company was invited to submit up to two design proposals for each site. Final scores for each are as follows:
Company James Jerome Howard Armstrong Ridgecrest A.B.C. Recreation 46 46 43 Bid #1 A.B.C. Recreation 25 25 No bid #2 Bid #2 CRCS Little Tykes 60 71 67 Bid #1 CRCS Little Tykes 69 60 54 Bid #2 Crozier Enterprizes 25 37 35 Henderson Recreational 71 76 57 Bid #1 Henderson Recreational 58 71 55 Bid #2 Recreational Playsystems 22 37 38 Bid #1 Recreational Playsystems 25 35 37 Bid #2
Each recommended playstructure has been designed for the specific site and includes a variety of play elements which promote inclusive and accessible play. For example the highest scoring model at James Jerome includes ramping to most decks, a transfer station, and a variety of play panels including a bi-level play counter, sign language and Braille panels and deep scoop slides which are accessible to many children. At Howard Armstrong, the playstructure has an accessible bridge, drum and chime panels and math and gear elements. At Ridgecrest, the playstructure is a square which allows for multi-directional movement across the decks and features inclusive swings. All three structures have fully accessible, warrantied surfaces with the appropriate fall protection zones which meet the necessary standards. The larger and heavier trafficked play structures at Howard Armstrong and James Jerome have a Fortco Poured in Place surface and the Ridgecrest structure has a Fibertop Engineered Wood Fiber surface.

Recommendation Signed By For Information Only.
Report Prepared By Lorella Hayes Background Chief Financial Officer/City Treasurer Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund replaced the Recommended by the Department Community Reinvestment Fund as the Province's main Lorella Hayes transfer payment to municipalities in 2005. Chief Financial Officer/City Treasurer Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 The OMPF assists municipalities with their share of social Recommended by the C.A.O. program costs, includes equalization measures for areas with Doug Nadorozny Acting Chief Administrative Officer limited property assessment, addresses challenges faced by Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 northern and rural communities, and responds to policing costs in rural communities.
On October 31st, 2008, the Province along with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the City of Toronto, released the consensus report of the Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review (PMFSDR), “Facing the Future Together”. As a result of the report:
The Province agreed in 2007 as an early outcome of the review to fully fund the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) program, with a shift now under way and full phase-in by 2011.
Starting in 2010, the Province will upload the municipal costs of Ontario Works (OW) benefits (income and employment assistance) over nine years.
Page 84 of 115 Starting in 2012, the Province will upload the costs of court security over seven years by providing funding to municipalities to a maximum of $125 million annually at maturity.
The review partners agreed to the key principle that the OMPF should remain responsive to changes in municipal circumstances, such as the upload of ODB, ODSP and OW benefits. Therefore, consistent with the normal operation of the OMPF, the social programs grants will be decreased to reflect the reduction in municipal costs for these programs as the uploads are phased in.
2009 OMPF Allocation Notice
The following is a comparison from 2008 with variance explanations:
2009 2008 Variance Explanation - Decrease due to the upload of ODB and ODSP admin Social Programs $18,455,800 $21,581,000 Grant - This grant will continue to decline as ODSP and OW are uploaded by the Province - Decreased due to CGS's average assessment increasing by greater than the provincial average
- CGS's average assessment in all classes increased Assessment $12,942,900 $16,337,500 approx. 11% and the provincial average by approx. 6% Equalization Grant - In addition, the Province changed the funding level from $54 per $10,000 of assessment under the provincial average to $48 per $10,000 of assessment - Increase slightly due to the increase in the number of Northern households $16,885,700 $16,853,100 Communities - Per household funding of $235 has been unchanged since 2007 - Increase due to the reduction in Assessment Equalization Special One-Time Grant $5,530,600 $895,000 Assistance - CGS is not certain how/if this funding will be clawed back in future years Special ODB $0 $3,034,600 - Eliminated by the Province Upload Guarantee Total OMPF Grant $53,815,000 $58,701,200
Future Years - OMPF Grant Issues
ODSP and OW Upload
As announced during the PMSDR, the Ontario Works net benefit costs will be fully up-loaded by 2018. In
Page 85 of 115 the 2009 budget, this amount was $4.5 million and these costs were included in the calculation of the Social Programs Grant. The OSDP net allowances and net benefits in the 2009 budget amounted to $12.3 million and these costs were also included in the Social Programs Grant calculation. If the existing formula remains relatively the same, 2010 through to 2018, the following is the forecasted change in the municipal budget (using 2009 dollars):
ODSP and OW reduction in net expenditures: ($16.8 million) Social Programs grant reduction: ($16.8 million) Net Benefit to CGS NIL
Overall, the upload of ODB, ODSP and OW is a revenue neutral exercise for the City of Greater Sudbury, and other OMPF recipient municipalities.
See the attached table for the summary of net social program costs funded by the municipal tax levy.
Northern and Rural Communities Grant
The following is a historical summary of the per household allocations under the Northern Grant:
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Per Household $225 $230 $235 $235 $235
Annual Percentage Change N/A 2% 2% 0% 0%
Previous Years Annual CPI Average 1.8% 2.2% 2.0% 2.2% 2.3%
As noted above, the per household funding amount for Northern Communities has not kept pace, at a very minimum, with CPI or average municipal tax increases. In March 2009, at the request of FONOM, CGS Council and other northern municipalities, passed a resolution requesting the Northern Communities Grant to be increased by $50 per household. If the Province approved this change, it would generate approximately $3.6 million.
As reported in the Provincial Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Report, the fiscal health of Northern Communities is poorer than other regions of Ontario. Also, the infrastructure investment gap per household for Northern Ontario municipalities is generally higher than other regions in Ontario.
Assessment Equalization Grant
As Council and the community is aware, the City of Greater Sudbury’s assessment valuation change from 2005 to 2008 increased substantially by approximately 43%. This increase will be phased in over four years from 2009 to 2012. This significant increase in the valuation of the assessment base resulted in an almost equal reduction in the City’s tax rates. Thus, no additional revenue is generated by this change in valuation.
The assessment equalization grant provides funding to municipalities with limited property assessment due to lower property values and limited non-residential assessment. See below for the history of the formula details:
Page 86 of 115 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Per $10,000 in Assessment $62 $60 $58 $54 $48 (Over Provincially Set Average)
Annual Percentage Change -3% -3% -7% -11%
Provincially Set Average Assessment $170,000 $185,000 $187,000 $190,000 $202,000
Annual Percentage Change 9% 1% 2% 6%
As illustrated above, it is difficult to find a historical pattern to the changes in the funding formula.
The concern for the City of Greater Sudbury is that as the assessment change is phased-in, this component of the grant is severely at risk, if the formula is not altered by the Province.
For example, if the $48 per $10,000 in assessment is reduced by 11% for the next three years the grant is forecasted as follows:
2008 (Final) 2009 (Final) 2010 (Forecast) 2011 (Forecast) 2012 (Forecast)
$16,337,380 $12,943,032 $9,781,567 $6,794,145 $3,971,542
The following example reflects the impact to this grant if it remains at $48 per $10,000 of assessment differential:
2008 (Final) 2009 (Final) 2010 (Forecast) 2011 (Forecast) 2012 (Forecast) $16,337,380 $12,943,032 $11,004,262 $8,598,840 $5,654,793
For 2009, the Province has provided a Stable Funding Guarantee which provides one-time assistance to municipalities, and as a result, the City of Greater Sudbury, like other municipalities, did not experience a net decrease from 2008 to 2009. It is staff’s understanding that the Province will be working with AMO and certain municipal contacts to develop a stabilization formula regarding the clawback of this one-time funding. In the past years, the OMPF formula provided stabilization funding to municipalities that would otherwise experience a decrease of $150 per household. Based on the 2009 stabilization funding, the $5,530,600 represents $77 per household or approximately 3% tax increase.
Should the OMPF formula remain relatively unchanged, and stabilization funding guarantees are not provided by the Province, the estimated reduction in the OMPF grant would be over $12 million or almost a 7% tax increase over three years.
It must be noted, that under the former CRF and the present OMPF grant formulas, the City of Greater Sudbury has always received varying levels of stabilization funding.

Conclusion
Staff will keep Council apprised regarding this important financial matter as new information is received.

Recommendation Signed By Whereas Greater Sudbury suffers from a substantial infrastructure deficit and growing congestion along its key arterial roads system; Report Prepared By Greg Clausen, P.Eng. Whereas the efficient flow of traffic on the arterial road system is General Manager of Infrastructure critical to industry, commerce and the quality of life in Greater Services Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 Sudbury; Recommended by the Department Whereas the Transportation Study prepared in conjunction with Greg Clausen, P.Eng. the City's new Official Plan confirmed the Maley Drive extension General Manager of Infrastructure Services as the most important road network need; Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 Whereas the City and the previous regional municipality have Recommended by the C.A.O. invested more than $1M to maintain the construction-ready Doug Nadorozny Acting Chief Administrative Officer status of this project; Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 Whereas the Maley Drive extension would create jobs and improve mobility, efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability consistent with the Building Canada Fund program; Therefore, be it resolved that Council supports and will fund the Maley Drive Extension project, and directs staff to submit the Maley Drive Extension Project Proposal to the Building Canada Fund.
Finance Implications If the project is approved by senior levels of government, the City's one-third share, plus certain ineligible costs would be approximately $41 million. Council had previously approved a total of $5.7 million from the 2008 to 2012 capital budgets. It is anticipated that the remainder of $35 million would be debt financed. Based on a 20 year repayment schedule, at 5% interest rate, the annual debt payment would be approximately $2.8 million. Funding sources for the debt repayment include, but not limited to, a future capital levy, allocation from the roads capital envelopes, fees collected from development charges. A detailed report outlining funding options will be provided for Council approval, once the Maley Drive project is approved by the senior levels of government.

BACKGROUND
At the Finance Committee meeting of Thursday, February 19, 2009, Council agreed that the Maley Drive Extension Project be submitted to the Federal and Provincial governments under the Major Infrastructure Component of the Building Canada Plan.
Council also authorized staff to enter into discussions with both the Federal and Provincial Governments to obtain additional information regarding the application process under the Major Infrastructure Component of the Building Canada Plan.
On March 10 and March 13, 2009, the Mayor forwarded introductory letters to both the Federal and Provincial Ministers expressing the critical need for the Maley Drive Project and the City’s desire to proceed with this project under the Building Canada Plan. Copies of the letters are attached.
Mayor Rodriguez and several senior staff subsequently met with Ministers Tony Clement and George Smitherman in Ottawa and later with Senior Provincial Staff in Toronto to introduce the Maley Drive Project.
Senior staff from both levels of government recommend that the City submit a detailed Project Proposal to both the Federal and Provincial Ministries responsible for the Building Canada Plan describing in detail the challenge, the solution, benefits, the business case and recommended funding.
It was also suggested that the Project Proposal be supported with a resolution of Council confirming Council’s commitment to fund their share of the project cost.

Presented To: City Council Wednesday, Apr 29, Presented: 2009 Request for Recommendation Wednesday, Apr 15, Report Date South West By-Pass Widening 2009 Type: Managers' Reports
Recommendation Signed By That Council advise the MTO that its preference with respect to the preferred Plan, as identified by the MTO, is the construction of a full interchange at Southview Report Prepared By Drive. This option includes the development of a new Mark Simeoni Community & Strategic Planning roadway from Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine Digitally Signed Apr 22, 09 Road, as shown in Appendix 1 of this report. This option would see no interchange constructed at Division Review Fielding Road but rather a flyover providing north Paul Baskcomb Manager of Community and Strategic south access over the highway. Planning AND FURTHER that staff monitor MTO’s decision with Digitally Signed Apr 22, 09 respect to this matter and advise Council on its options Recommended by the Department once this matter has been finalized by the Province. Bill Lautenbach Acting General Manager of Growth and Development / Planning Director Digitally Signed Apr 22, 09 Background Recommended by the C.A.O. Doug Nadorozny As Council is aware, the Ontario Ministry of Acting Chief Administrative Officer Transportation, (MTO), has been undertaking an Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 Environmental Assessment regarding the proposed widening of Highway 17 between Long Lake Road and Fielding Road. Council has dealt with this matter on two separate occasions. In July of 2007 Council directed staff to review the proposals and solicit citizen input. Two information sessions were held. One at Corpus Christie school, and the other at Fielding Memorial Park. Both sessions were well attended and staff were able to provide Council an update as to the concerns of the various parties affected by this proposal.
Page 98 of 115 This information came back to Council in January of 2008. Council then agreed to unanimously support the Fielding Road interchange option, which would see no access to the highway at Southview Drive. In addition, Council reserved the right to comment at the completion of the process and the presentation of preferred option by MTO. The MTO has now selected its preferred option which shows no interchanges to Highway 17 at either Fielding Road or Southview Drive (schedule 4). North south access over the highway at these locations would be provided by flyovers. It should be noted that the preferred option does maintain the trail system on the north side of the highway . This trail is well utilized and connects Fielding Park to Southview Drive. Staff and the community are in support of this aspect of the preferred Plan. Chronology of Events
June 2006 Notice of study commencement September 2006 Notice of Public Information Centre #1 (PIC #1) February 2007 Notice of PIC #2 June 2007 Notice of PIC #3 postponed July 2007 The Ministry had requested that the City pass a resolution in support of their preferred option. Prior to passing any resolution on this request, however, Council passed Resolution 2007-347 on July 11, 2007, directing City staff from various departments to study and comment on the Ministry of Transportation proposal for the four-laning of the Southwest Bypass, as well as to hold a neighbourhood meeting. "2007-347 Cimino-Barbeau: WHEREAS the Ministry of Transportation has initiated a route planning study for the future four-laning of the Sudbury Southwest Bypass (Highway 17), between Long Lake Road and Municipal Road 55; AND WHEREAS this highway corridor represents both a critical link in the City of Greater Sudbury’s internal transportation network and a vital connection to markets to the east, west and south; AND WHEREAS once determined, this highway alignment, along with any benefits or problems created, will likely be fixed in place for the next 25 to 50 years; AND WHEREAS the planning process initiated by the Ministry of Transportation does not adequately address broad municipal traffic patterns, neighbourhood impacts, economic development issues, or overall community interests; AND WHEREAS the Ministry of Transportation will be requesting a resolution of support for their preferred option; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the City of Greater Sudbury recognizes the importance of the proposed four-laning project for the Sudbury Southwest Bypass and supports a more detailed analysis of the potential project;
Page 99 of 115 AND FURTHER THAT Council directs the Planning Department, with support from Economic Development, Infrastructure, Parks, and Tourism, to undertake an in-house analysis of this project and the proposed configurations. This analysis should include a neighbourhood meeting and give consideration to the city’s existing and planned economic development, land use and traffic patterns; AND FURTHER THAT staff begin this process as soon as possible and report to Council by the end of October and that the Ministry of Transportation be requested to delay any final decisions until Council has reviewed this staff report and adopted a position by resolution.
CARRIED" September 24, 2007 First public meeting at Corpus Christie October 1, 2007 Second public meeting at Fielding Memorial Park January 2008 Staff report to Council in response to July 11, 2007 motion of Council. Council supports the motion to see a diamond interchange constructed at Fielding Road. February 2008 Notice of PIC #3. August 2008 Councilor Cimino meets with the Minster of Transportation to discuss the various concerns. March 12, 2009 Notice of PIC #4, Province presents its preferred Plan. April 21,2009 Public meeting in former Town of Walden to hear citizen concerns. Options
In response to the Province’s preferred Plan, a number of options have been considered by staff with respect to this matter. These options are presented in order of staff preference. 1. The construction of a diamond interchange at Southview Drive. This option includes the development of a new roadway from Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine Road. This option would see no interchange constructed at Fielding Road but rather a flyover providing north south access over the highway. This option would see the construction of a service road between Fielding Road and Southview Drive on the south side of the highway. See Appendix 1. 2. The construction of one interchange mid way between Fielding Road and Southview Drive. In this option there would be flyovers constructed at Fielding Road and Southview Drive. See Appendix 2. 3. The construction of a full interchange at Fielding Road. There would be no interchange at Southview Drive but rather a flyover the highway to allow for north south access. See Appendix 3. 4. No access at either Fielding Road or Southview Drive. Access over the highway would be via flyover at these locations. This is the MTO’s preferred Plan. See Appendix 4. Staff Comments in Response to 4 Options (Option 4 being
Page 100 of 115 MTO's Preferred Plan)
Emergency Services
Emergency Services Division’s comments in response to the MTO’s preferred Plan as it relates to the widening of Highway 17: Option #1: Construction of an interchange at Southview Drive includes the development of a new roadway from Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine Road. No interchange constructed at Fielding Road (a flyover providing north/south access over the highway only, no access or egress to Fielding Road and Kantola Road for the Highway 17 southwest bypass.) This option would impact on the direct access to Fielding Road and Kantola Road from the Highway 17 southwest bypass. The estimate is that response times into the Fielding Road/Kantola Road area would increase by up to 25% (See appendix 5). Option #2: The construction of one interchange mid-way between Fielding Road and Southview Drive. Flyovers constructed at Fielding Road and Southview Drive. With this option, having a service road that would allow access to both Southview Drive and Fielding Road "flyovers" as well as a cut-through road to allow traffic to flow from Big Nickel Road directly onto Southview Drive. Therefore, Option two will lessen the impact on access and egress verses the MTO's preferred option, option four, with only a slight increase in response time to the Fielding Road locations (see appendix 5). Option #3: The construction of a full interchange at Fielding Road. There would be no interchange at Southview Drive but rather a "flyover: Highway 17 southwest bypass allowing for north/south access. This option impacts the direct access to Southview Drive and Jarvi Road from the Highway 17 southwest bypass. The estimate is that response times into the area would also increase by up to 25% (See appendix 5) Option #4: No access at either Fielding Road or Southview Drive. This option would have a "flyover" bridge at the Southview Drive intersection and the Fielding Road intersection presenting the biggest impact to direct access to Southview Drive and Jarvi Road as well as Fielding Road and Kantola Road. The estimate is that response times into the area would increase by up to 25% (See appendix 5) In conclusion, each option presents specific challenges for Emergency Services response. Clearly, the MTO's preferred option has the greatest impact on increasing EMS response times; while Options 1 and 3 have less of an impact and Option 2 offers the least impact overall for response times. Infrastructure
Further to your letter requesting comments on MTO's plans for the widening of Hwy 17 from MR 55 to Regent St, the Traffic and Transportation Department have reviewed the options being put forward to Council and offer the following. The Traffic and Transportation department has, from the start of this process, identified a need to have a connection to Hwy 17 between MR 55 and Long Lake Road. Access along this corridor has impacts on residents in the Lively area, the Southview Drive area and the Fielding Road area.
Page 101 of 115 This connection would maintain important access for Lively residents as well as those in the south west section of the former City. Without this connection all traffic coming into the City from the west would be directed to Long Lake Road, forcing them to utilize the Regent Street/ Long Lake Road intersection, which is becoming a limiting factor for growth in the south end. Option #1: This option includes the construction of a new roadway from Big Nickel Road to the southerly portion of Southview Drive linking two industrial areas and providing those businesses with access to Hwy 17. This link to Big Nickel Road and the future Maley Drive Extension affords all traffic from the north end of the City a connection to Hwy 17 without traveling through the City core. This option includes a service road connection to the Fielding/Kantola roadway and as a result does not diminish access to the Fielding Road industrial park and the Lively area. The City is currently implementing Traffic calming on Southview Drive which will help address concerns from area residents with traffic on this corridor. Option #2: This option address the same concerns identified in Option 1 and would be a second alternative. Option #3: This option does not afford the construction of the Big Nickel link, however it does address the concerns for access to the Fielding/Lively area and would be a third alternative. Option #4: This option is not seen as a desirable alternative as it does not address the concerns of the Lively area residents for access to Hwy 17 and will direct them through Southview Drive for access to the City. It does not support access for the industrial areas on Fielding Road, Southview Drive and Lorne Street and directs additional traffic onto other local areas roadways. Greater Sudbury Development Corporation
Southwest Bypass: Response to MTO Preferred Option The MTO preferred option would see the construction of flyovers at Fielding Road and Southview Drive, this has a direct economic and quality of life impact on the City of Greater Sudbury in the following areas : 1) the current companies on Fielding Road are cut off from direct access to the bypass and the future development of the vacant land is put in question even as the City is considering servicing this area with sewer and water, 2) it would direct more traffic down Long Lake Road and impact the intersection at Regent and Paris Streets, 3) it will impact response times in a negative way for emergency services, 4) Increased traffic along Southview Drive will negatively impact a residential area and the intersection at Regent and Bouchard streets and 5) the flyover at Fielding Road will increase vehicular traffic through Hillcrest subdivision. If this preferred option stands , the City alone will have to deal with the monetary costs created as a result of this decision and the citizens will have to deal with a reduced quality of life and lower property values. The option of a full inter-change at Southview Drive with a new connection to Big Nickel Mine Road would help to complete the ring road system and would allow commercial traffic to bypass the City core but this should only proceed if a diamond interchange is built at Fielding Road. The M-3 lands along Fielding Road are the preferred location for the mining supply and service sector and should be seen as the centre of a metallurgical complex which encompasses mines, mills, a smelter and nickel refinery. Over the next 10 years Vale/Inco will spend over 4 billion
Page 102 of 115 dollars on improving and expanding their plants in the area bounded by Copper Cliff on the east to Totten in the west. This will drive expansion of companies along Fielding Road , they need access not only for people and goods but for emergency services . Fielding Road needs direct access, it has the largest block of undeveloped M-3 land in the City, it is part of a larger metallurgical complex, by denying direct access it will limit its growth potential and security. Roads are design to take people and goods somewhere, local roads connect to provincial roads, they are symbiotic. This decision cannot be taken in isolation, it impacts the entire City as identified in items 1-5. Community Development
Fielding Park Options Option #1: This option would reduce traffic into the park as it would not allow for traffic coming from the east or west to enter the park off of Fielding Road. We would have to provide signage in advance so patrons of the park would be able to exit off the bypass in advance if they wished to visit the park. We would also have to readvertise the park as we currently advertise access off of the bypass. With this option we would dramatically reduce the visits by out of town visitors. It would also increase the travel for any resident in the south end of Sudbury who would want to visit the park or access the Kelly Lake trail from the Fielding Park access point. Option #2: Without access from the bypass onto Fielding Road it would have the same effect as option 1. Option #3: This option would provide the best access to the park and would have the least amount of effect on the traffic to and from the trail system and the park. It would allow easy access from both the east and west from the bypass road. The down side of this option is that we would most likely lose part of the park land due to the construction of the interchange. We would need to see what effect the proposed construction would have on the park. We would most likely need to redesign the entrance and parking area. Option #4: Again option 4 would have the same effect as Option 1 resulting in poor access to the park and trail system. Fire Services
An overview of the project reveals that all of the options will create an increase in response times. In order of preference: Option # 2 Interchange midway between Fielding Road and Southview Drive: This option will increase response times at both the Southview Drive area and the Fielding Road area. Option # 1 and Option # 3: Option # 1 Southview Drive Interchange will have a considerable increase in response times to the Fielding Road area. Option # 3 Fielding Road Interchange will have a considerable increase in response times to the Southview Drive area. Option # 4: No access at Fielding Road or Southview Drive: This option will have a considerable increase in response times to both the Fielding Road area and the Southview Drive area.
Page 103 of 115 Although Option # 2 would create an increase in both the Southview Drive area and the Fielding Road area, the increase in response time is less than the individual impact on the response times from options # 1 and # 3. Police Services
I have received and reviewed the documents from the City and Stantec Consulting website. In light of the four options they have provided, my opinion would be directed to Option1 for the following reason. The construction of an interchange at Southview Drive. This option includes the development of a new roadway from Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine Road. This option would see no interchange at Fielding Road but rather a flyover providing north south access over the highway. Over the past years we have experienced several ongoing problems with the Southview Drive roadway relative to heavy vehicles not abiding by Heavy Truck Routes. The trucks usually come from the Highway 17 bypass traveling to Kelly Lake Road and Lorne Street. By putting in an interchange and developing a road to Big Nickel Mine Road it may eliminate the problems and redirect the heavy commercial vehicles we have been incurring. Planning Services
The addition of a direct connection from Lorne Street/Big Nickel Road to Highway 17 at Southview Drive would be one possible way to address the truck traffic in the Kelly Lake Road/Robinson Road area (see Appendix 1). However, this direct road connection is not currently planned by the City and would require an amendment to the Official Plan. The original City plan for the former City of Sudbury, which was replaced in 1987, showed such a road link. This link was deleted from the Plan in response to the MTO’s position that there would not be an interchange at this location when the highway was widened. As such there was no longer a need to include this road linkage in the Plan . It is clear from the residents who live in the Southview Drive neighborhood, that a direct connection to the highway without the connection to Big Nickel Mine Road is not acceptable. Area residents have indicated that this relationship with the highway only serves to introduce non local car and truck traffic into their neighborhood. A new road link to Big Nickel Mine Road and the development of a cul-du-sac at Southview Drive would resolve the concerns of the residents in this area. The Preferred Plan eliminates the connection to the highway at Southview Drive. The result of this decision will see increased traffic pressures on the "4 corners" area. This is due to the fact that the Long Lake Road connection will have to now accommodate more vehicles that want to enter the city, as there will now be fewer options to do so. This is not an acceptable outcome due to the negative impact on local traffic in the "4 Corners" area. We recognize the importance of the Fielding Road Industrial Park to the local economy and understand that there are some technical issues with respect to minimum separation distances between the existing interchange at Municipal Road 55 and a new interchange at Fielding Road. We do not support the development of a new interchange at Fielding if it results in an unsafe separation distances between the two interchanges. The proposed service road identified under option 1 would provide business in the park a connection to highway 17.
Page 104 of 115 In their preferred Plan, the MTO identifies impacts to local traffic in the "4 Corners" area. By doing so, the MTO effectively acknowledges that their decisions will impact the local road network. If we apply this principle to Option 1 described in this report, we feel it is reasonable for the MTO to consider the construction of the new section of roadway that would connect Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine road, as part of its preferred plan. In simple terms Southview Drive existed before the construction of the Highway 17 by-pass. Once the highway crossed Southview it allowed a direct connection to the Provincial Highway system. This relationship allowed non local traffic to enter the Southview Drive neighborhood. It is this relationship with the Provincial highway system that has area residents concerned. It is for this reason we feel that it is appropriate for the MTO to consider the construction of the roadway, as shown on Appendix 1, as a viable option for the development of an interchange with Southview Drive. Engineering Services
The attached map (Appendix 5) illustrates the travel times from two Fire Stations. In the 1st scenario, the travel time from the Waters Fire Station to 2077 Merlin's Road via Highway 17 is 8.7 km is 12 minutes. Travel time by Black Lake Road is 15 minutes and the distance is 10.1 km. As you can see there is a difference of 3 minutes. In the 2nd scenario, the travel time from the Long Lake Road Station to 3150 Jarvi Road via Highway 17 (8.7 km) is 11 minutes. Travel time by Long Lake Road is 13 minutes travelling 8.8 km. Travel time via Southview Drive is 15 minutes and the distance is 8.6 km. A difference of 4 minutes for the worst case scenario and 2 minutes for the best case scenario. Using the street network provided by the GIS&M section, travel times were calculated using the Network Analyst extension for the ArcView GIS software. Network Analyst is an extension that provides network-based spatial analysis including routing, travel directions, closest facility, and service area analysis. The travel time is calculated using the speed limit and the road directionality fields. Public Input Issues
Southview Drive Neighborhood The residents of Southview Drive and area do not want to see an interchange with the highway at Southview Drive. The basis for this opposition lies in the fact that the interchange allows non-local traffic to travel through the neighborhood. From a neighborhood perspective this perceived increase in traffic volumes has a negative effect on their quality of life. Residents have described the impacts to include such things as noise, safety concerns, pollution and sheer increased traffic volume. Residents have said that a direct connection to the Provincial highway system will only serve to make this situation permanent. The preferred Plan presented by the Province addresses these concerns by eliminating direct access with Southview Drive and Highway 17. Fielding Road Industrial Area
The Fielding Road Industrial area is an important part of Greater Sudbury’s economic base. In the Page 105 of 115 opinion of businesses located in this park, a direct access to Highway 17 at Fielding Road is key to its future. It is home to the biggest concentration of mining supply and services firms within the City and as such is obviously important to the future of the community. The preferred plan does not provide direct highway access to Highway 17. Hillcrest Subdivision The preferred Plan as proposed by the Province provides no direct access to the Highway at either Fielding Road or Southview Drive. This will force some residents who live south of the highway in this area to travel through the Hillcrest subdivision in Lively to gain access to the Provincial Highway system. In the opinion of these residents this will impact negatively on their quality of life. Area South of the Highway The preferred Plan does not provide direct access to the Highway at either Fielding Road or Southview Drive. It has been suggested that this may increase emergency travel times to some residents. A preliminary analysis by staff appears to support this conclusion. Fielding Park We have received comments from the public regarding concerns about reduced access from highway 17 to Fielding Memorial Park. People come from all over the City to enjoy the Park. The preferred Plan does not provide direct access from highway 17. April 21, 2009 Public Meeting Summary A group of interested citizens organized a public information meeting regarding the proposed widening of highway 17. The purpose of the meeting was to help make local citizens aware of the Province's preferred plan. This meeting was not formally organized by City staff, however City staff were in attendance to monitor the event and to clarify any issues or questions that arose. Councilors Barbeau, Cimino and Callaghan were also present to listen to the questions and concerns that were raised by those in attendance. From a staff perspective, it would appear that the majority of those in attendance were residents of the Lively area. Based on the questions and concerns raised it would also appear that the majority of those in attendance were in support of the construction diamond interchange at Fielding Road and highway 17. The reasons given at the meeting in support of the construction of a diamond interchange at Fielding Road were as follows: * Necessary to maintain current emergency response times to the residents south of the highway. * The potential negative impact on the Industrial Park in the Fielding Road area by reduced access to the Provincial highway system, if not direct access to the highway at Fielding Road. * Without an interchange there will be loss of direct access to Fielding Park from Highway 17. This could impact recreational and tourism opportunities within the park and the associated trail system.
* Without an interchange there is a perception that there will be an increase in through traffic through the Hillcrest/Mikkola area which will have an impact on the quality of life of those residents. Page 106 of 115 through the Hillcrest/Mikkola area which will have an impact on the quality of life of those residents. * Concerns were raised as to the overall process taken by MTO and the frustration of local residents that their local voices were not being heard. Summary
That Council advise the MTO that its preference with respect to the preferred Plan, as identified by the MTO, is the construction of a full interchange at Southview Drive. This option includes the development of a new roadway from Southview Drive to Big Nickel Mine Road, as shown in Appendix 1 of this report AND FURTHER that staff monitor MTO’s decision with respect to this matter and advise Council on its options once this matter has been finalized by the Province.

Doug Nadorozny BACKGROUND: Acting Chief Administrative Officer Digitally Signed Apr 23, 09 The Financial Incentive for Downtown Renewal Program (the Program) is a $250,000 Pilot Program designed to stimulate private sector investment in Downtown Sudbury that was approved by Council and the GSDC Board in 2006 and 2007. The Program applies to the Primary and Secondary Downtown Community Improvement Plan Area and consists of four distinct financial incentives: Planning Fees Rebate Program; Feasibility Study Grant Program; Building Improvement Loan Program; and, Facade Improvement Grant Program. The Program was successfully re-launched in 2008. Ten projects were approved to receive $214,600 in
Page 113 of 115 funding. This public sector investment levered approximately $665,600 in private sector investment (1:3 ratio). By the end of 2008, one of the approved projects was complete, while another three were underway. Two approved projects withdrew from the Program. It is anticipated that all of the remaining approved projects will be complete by the end of 2009. In January 2009, the GSDC Board recommended to Council that the remaining funds in the Program, some $80,000, be allocated towards a second round, focussing on two of the four financial incentive programs: Feasibility Study Grants; and, Facade Improvement Grants. This second round was launched on February 12, 2009. Eight applications were received. These applications were reviewed by an "Evaluation Working Group" comprised of representatives from the GSDC, Downtown Sudbury and the Downtown Village Development Corporation, using pre-established criteria. This Group presented its recommendations to the GSDC’s Board on April 8, 2009. The Board approved seven applications for funding, making approximately $62,000 in grants, loans and rebates available to stimulate approximately $163,000 in new investment that will enhance a number of Downtown properties. Further details on these seven applications is contained in Attachment #1. CONCLUSIONS:
The second round of the Program is complete. Council authorization is required to provide the financial incentives to the successful applicants. Council authorization is also required for staff to enter into agreements with the successful applicants to implement the approved projects.
