7 HOW ARE PROPERTY TAXES CALCULATED?

EFFECT ON PROPERTY TAX

Simcoe and Muskoka Mayors and Councilors

Dear Mayor and Council:

Re: Breastfeeding Friendly Places

On behalf of the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit's Board of Health and staff, I am encouraging the support of your municipal government to participate in creating breastfeeding friendly places. Community support is a key factor that can influence a family's decision about whether or not to breastfeed and about how long to breastfeed. Municipalities have the ability to develop policies and environments supportive of breastfeeding, as well as to provide leadership to local businesses and organizations to do the same, by:

• Creating breastfeeding friendly policy for all municipal spaces (indoor and outdoor) • Creating breastfeeding friendly workplace policy for municipal employees • Ensuring municipal employees are informed of breastfeeding parent's rights and how to create breastfeeding friendly places • Posting signage at entrances to your buildings identifying municipal spaces as breastfeeding friendly

Breastfeeding in public is a human right legally protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code. Services provided to breastfeeding families must be provided free from discrimination. The Ontario Human Rights Code requires employers to ensure the work environment is free from discrimination related to breastfeeding and requires employers to accommodate employee needs for breastfeeding or expressing breastmilk.

Health Canada and the World Health Organization recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and sustained breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond. SMDHU promotes the importance of breastfeeding for the nutrition, immunologic protection, grow1h and development of infants and children. It is also recognized that breastfeeding has positive impacts on the health of the breastfeeding parent, family economics and the environment.

In Simcoe Muskoka 91% of families initiate exclusive breastfeeding at birth but only 26.6% of families breastfeed exclusively to six months. Research suggests breastfeeding families can feel reluctant to breastfeed in public places because of embarrassment, fear of disapproval and/or lack of comfortable facilities. We know that in in Simcoe Muskoka 74% of adults are supportive of breastfeeding in public, meaning that 1 out of 4 people are not supportive of breastfeeding in public. Working together as a community can lead to increased support and encouragement for breastfeeding families.

City of Orillia December 12, 2016 Dr. Lisa Simon, Associate Medical Officer of Health Natalie Riewe, Program Manager, Child Health Kate Bowins, Public Health Nurse, Child Health Page 53 of 225 GLOBAL BREASTFEEDING RECOMMENDATION*

Infants should be exclusively breastfed until six months of age to achieve optimal growth, development and health. Thereafter…infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. *World Health Organization (adopted by Health Canada and the Canadian Paediatric Society)

Page 54 of 225 WHY THIS RECOMMENDATION?

Breastfeeding…. • Is associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of several illnesses in infants and toddlers whom are breastfed and mothers who breastfeed. • Improves the health of a population

Not breastfeeding… Page 55 of 225 • Increases the risk of poor health outcomes and health care costs

WHY SUPPORT BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC?

Environments that support the human right to breastfeed anywhere and anytime, without concern of discrimination can influence: • a woman’s decision to begin breastfeeding and • how long women breastfeed their children Page 56 of 225 IS BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC STILL AN ISSUE?

Based on local data (2008 & 2014)*: One in four people are not supportive and/or not comfortable witnessing breastfeeding in public

In the News in Ontario…Breastfeeding mom… • asked to stop breastfeeding--told to go to washrooms

Page 57 of 225 (Community Centre, April 2016) • asked to leave (local restaurant, July 2015) • told to cover up (fast food restaurant, 2014) • asked by lifeguard to get out of pool (2010)

Questions? Page 63 of 225 Page 64 of 225 December 1, 2016

Dear AMO Member:

RE: Federal Infrastructure Phase 2 Incrementality Resolution

As you know, the federal government announced additional infrastructure funding over the next 12 years in the Fall Economic Statement as part of its Phase 2 programming. It is consulting on design aspects for Phase 2 in order for it to be known before the funding programs begin in 2018.

AMO has endorsed a number of principles for the funding design – that it should maximize municipal flexibility; respect the breadth of municipal infrastructure assets and priorities; and provide stable, predictable, formula-based funding to municipal governments.

The role of incrementality and the funding formula (i.e., the share by each order of government) are important aspects. In communicating our principles to the federal government, we have noted the impacts of different formula approaches. The ideal position for municipal governments would be a 50% federal, 33% provincial, and a 17% municipal portion. This would mean a smaller share of municipal capital costs would recognize ongoing municipal operating costs which are generally not eligible for funding purposes. In reality, very few provinces agreed to fund 33% of Phase 1 programs, and some didn’t put up new funds where they agreed to it. In Ontario, the provincial government did add new funding, in the amount of $250 million (25%) for the recent Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF). This was in addition to its existing multi-billion long term infrastructure plan. No provincial funding was added for the federal public transit agreement.

Generally, incrementality has been a feature of prior federal programs. It requires that municipal and provincial governments spend new additional funds for each infrastructure project in order to meet the eligibility rules. This requirement may have had some merit before municipal governments had comprehensive asset management plans and related multi-year capital plans. Going forward, it will confuse the principles and practice of asset management not to mention municipal financial planning because it would influence municipal priorities. Where there are multi-year capital plans, based on asset replacement and maintenance priorities of an asset management plan, the federal funding should be aligned with these municipal plans. Phase 2 should align with municipal long-term planned spending, not the other way around.

Page 65 of 225 2

We hope that you agree. If so, please adopt the attached resolution and add your voice to AMO’s. AMO continues to believe that good asset management is the foundation of appropriate municipal infrastructure and financial management. Funding approaches must support it to further advance the culture of municipal asset management in Ontario.

Sincerely,

Lynn Dollin AMO President

FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE PHASE 2 INCREMENTALITY RESOLUTION

WHEREAS municipal governments’ infrastructure is critical to our collective economic health; WHEREAS stable, predictable and formula- based infrastructure funding allows municipal governments to plan and schedule investments in infrastructure; WHEREAS Ontario municipal governments have asset management plans which set out a municipality’s longer term capital plan which reflects the infrastructure priorities of these asset management plans; and WHEREAS a federal incrementality rule interferes with municipal long-term infrastructure priorities and diminishes the value of municipal asset planning and management; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the (name of municipality) calls on the federal government to provide long-term, predictable, and formula-based funding in its Phase 2 programs for municipal governments; and BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the (name of municipality) calls on the federal government to change incremental requirements in Phase 2 to recognize in Ontario that a municipal government’ asset management plan meets a municipal incremental infrastructure requirement.

Re: Motion of Council – Sustainable Funding Support for Child Advocacy Centres and the Child Advocacy Centre Simcoe/Muskoka

Dear Mayor Clark and Council,

The Child Advocacy Centre Simcoe/Muskoka has been serving children and families in Orillia for almost three years. In this time over 260 child abuse interviews have been conducted here at the Centre. We have taken a lead in the province with respect to our child abuse prevention programs as well as the creation of the Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition of Simcoe County. In less than two years our organization has been the recipient of two Ministry of Attorney General Victims Services Awards of Distinction. We are doing good work. We have no sustainable funding to continue our service delivery heading in to 2017. Together, the Child Advocacy Centres across Ontario need your support in calling on the provincial government to provide sustainable, operational funding for this essential service for young victims of crime. The Council of the City of St. Catharines has passed the following motion and we humbly request that the Council of the City of Orillia does the same. “Whereas child and youth advocacy centres (CAC’s) provide support for victims of child abuse and trauma and a unique way of managing child victim needs and investigation excellence while also addressing and preventing longer-term impacts of child abuse at the outset; and Whereas CAC’s currently receive financial support through local fundraising and federal funding; and Whereas provincial governments across Canada, including the Province of Ontario do not provide sustainable dollars to support CAC’s resulting in a wide variance as to what resources are available for children; and Whereas Ontario ministries sustain programs and funding for child welfare, health, police and public safety, but not CAC’s which provide all of these services; and Whereas the Ontario provincial government is focused on addressing issues of poverty, homelessness and sexual assault which can be potential outcomes of untreated child abuse and trauma, and on creating new community hubs.

Page 69 of 225

Whereas Alberta is the only province in Canada which currently provides sustainable funding for CAC’s including the Sheldon Kennedy Centre. Through the Children First Act, the Province of Alberta reallocated dollars from various ministries including child welfare, social services, policing and health services to provide core services to child victims through CAC’s without requiring new funding; and Whereas CAC’s have been in existence for almost 30 years in the United States, and the Child Advocacy Centre Simcoe Muskoka was the third of seven currently operating in Ontario. Therefore Be it Resolved that the Orillia City Council urges the Government of Ontario to direct the Ministry of Attorney General, Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Corrections and Public Safety to work together to create a sustainable core funding formula for Ontario’s Child Advocacy Centres; and That staff be directed to circulate the Council resolution to the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Corrections and Public Safety, MPP Patrick Brown, MPP Ann Hoggarth, MPP Norm Miller, Simcoe Regional Council, all Simcoe/Muskoka municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. FORTHWITH” We thank you for your support. The children, youth and families in Orillia deserve this level of service and response to such a serious issue.

TO: Council - December 12, 2016 FROM: Ad Hoc Partnership Committee DATE: December 6, 2016 REPORT NO: AHPC-16-01

SUBJECT: YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka Partnership Opportunities

Recommended Motion

THAT report number AHPC-16-01 be received as information;

AND THAT staff review and investigate shared programming opportunities with the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka;

AND THAT the direction for a Special Meeting of Council with YMCA representatives as originally directed in resolution 2016-139C be rescinded;

AND THAT the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee, having completed its mandate, be dissolved.

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the outcomes of the discussions between the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka (YMCA) and Ad Hoc Partnership Committee regarding potential partnerships for the new recreation facility.

Background and Key Facts

• On June 27, 2016, the YMCA presented to Council a deputation regarding their interest in partnering in the operation of the new Recreation Facility at 255 West Street South. • The following resolution was adopted by Council at its meeting held on June 27, 2016: “THAT, further to the deputation by representatives of the YMCA, the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee be re-instated to meet with representatives of the YMCA to explore the possibility of forming a partnership with the YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka for the operation of the new recreation centre;

2

AND THAT a special meeting be held with all of Council and YMCA representatives to discuss the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee’s findings.”

• On August 3, 2016, the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee met to discuss next steps and potential dates to meet with the YMCA. • On November 2, 2016, Mayor and Council received a letter from the YMCA (see Schedule “A”) revising the original request for a partnership and including the following: . That each organization allow for specialization (i.e. City of Orillia sport Tourism, YMCA individual health). . The YMCA and the City of Orillia continue their relationship around training and utilization of lifeguards • On November 14, 2016, The Ad Hoc Partnership Committee met with representatives from the YMCA to review their proposal for collaboration and discussed next steps in relation to their revised request. • The following motion was adopted by the Committee at its meeting held on November 14, 2016:

“THAT the correspondence dated November 2, 2016 from the CEO of the YMCA Simcoe/Muskoka regarding possible collaboration between the YMCA and the City of Orillia for the new recreation facility be received as information;

AND THAT the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee recommend to Council that staff be encouraged to continue to review and investigate shared programming opportunities;

AND THAT the direction for a Special Meeting of Council with YMCA representatives be rescinded;

AND THAT the Committee, having completed its mandate, be dissolved.”

Options & Analysis

Based on the YMCA’s revised proposal request, the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee recommends that City staff continue to work with the YMCA to ensure that both organizations can focus on their specialized areas of expertise, continually review possible programming partnerships and work together to provide the community with recreation services that provide for all citizens.

Building upon the previously established partnership, the YMCA and the City of Orillia will continue to work together in order to train and utilize lifeguards and perhaps, in the future, fitness instructors, general programming instructors etc. Lifeguards will be at a premium for both organizations and this will be the most effective way to ensure joint success in operating both aquatic facilities.

AND THAT the direction for a Special Meeting of Council with YMCA representatives as originally directed in resolution 2016-139C be rescinded;

AND THAT the Ad Hoc Partnership Committee, having completed its mandate, be dissolved.

Steve Clarke Office of the Mayor City of Orillia 50 Andrew Street South, Suite 300 Orillia, ON, L3V 7T5

Greetings Steve,

As per your executive assistants request, please consider this letter as a revised request to discuss collaboration between the YMCA and City of Orillia as you look to open your Sport Complex in 2018.

Below are the three topics we would like to discuss.

1. That the YMCA and City of Orillia work collaboratively within each of our recreation sites to allow some form of “specializing” in specific aspects of health, fitness and sport. This would focus each facility and hopefully help create a “win-win” for both the city and the Y. For example, the city has interest in children and youth sports, sport training and conference/special events. The YMCA has strong ties to individual health, youth and seniors.

2. The YMCA and the City of Orillia continue their relationship around training and utilization of lifeguards and perhaps even swim instructors. Life guards will be at a premium for both organizations and this seems the most prudent way to ensure our joint success.

3. That the YMCA and City of Orillia craft a joint press release detailing the partnership/collaboration.

David, Karen and I look forward to seeing you on the afternoon of the 14th.

Yours,

Rob Armstrong, CEO

Recommended Motion

THAT Council establish a Parking Working Group to identify potential downtown parking issues and solutions;

AND THAT the Parking Working Group be comprised of three members of Council, three members of the Downtown Orillia Management Board (DOMB) and one member of the public with staff support from the Treasury Department and Legislative Services Division of the Clerk’s Department;

AND THAT the Parking Working Group report back to Council Committee with any resulting recommendations including a detailed analysis from a financial perspective, operational perspective and a comparative best practices perspective by May 8, 2017.

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to propose the creation of a Parking Working Group to consult with staff and the DOMB to find solutions with respect to parking in the downtown area in accordance with the 2011 Downtown Parking Study.

Background & Key Facts

The following is a copy of a resolution that was adopted by Council at its meeting held on December 7, 2015:

“THAT the deputation by the Downtown Orillia Management Board regarding a Business Plan for the Parking Management System be referred to the Public Works, Clerks and Treasury Departments for a report to Council Committee.”

Options & Analysis

There is only one option provided for consideration by Council:

Recommended Option - Establish a Parking Working Group.

THAT Council establish a Parking Working Group to identify potential downtown parking issues and solutions;

AND THAT the Parking Working Group be comprised of three members of Council, three members of the Downtown Orillia Management Board (DOMB) and one member of the public with staff support from the Treasury Department and Legislative Services Division of the Clerk’s Department;

AND THAT the Parking Working Group report back to Council Committee with any resulting recommendations including a detailed analysis from a financial perspective, operational perspective and a comparative best practices perspective by May 8, 2017.

This option is recommended because I would like the board to know that City Council and staff are sincere in our desire to find a meaningful direction with respect to parking. I hope that this desire was also seen in the forming of the now ‘passed’ directions on the CIP and sign by-law. With this in mind and after attending parking meetings, I am suggesting a framework within which we may accomplish similar support and resolution. The goal of this report is to have approval of the DOMB and staff before it comes back to Council.

Financial Impact

There are no financial impacts anticipated with the creation of this Working Group however, this would involve staff time to call and prepare for meetings.

Comments from Departments/Agencies

Leaving Home: A National Study on Youth Homelessness in Canada Melanie Redman: A Way Home Canada; Dr. Stephen Gaetz: Canadian Observatory on Homelessness; Dr. Bill O’Grady: University of ; Dr. Sean Kidd: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

In 2015, the very first pan-Canadian study on young people who are homeless was conducted. Over 1,100 young people filled out a survey in 42 communities including large and mid-size cities, as well as in smaller communities. Young people were asked a broad range of questions in order to understand background factors that contributed to homelessness, pathways to youth homelessness, experiences of life on the streets, education and employment, health and wellness, and service utilization. The research will not only serve to enhance our understanding of the causes and conditions of youth homelessness, but also contribute to more effective policy and practice intended to prevent and end youth homelessness in Canada. This research was conducted by the

Stopping the revolving door: prevention in action Dr. Stephen Gaetz: Canadian Observatory on Homelessness; Elisa Traficante: Raising the Roof; Jordan Mickelson: Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary; Dr. Sean Kidd: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

The best way to end youth homelessness is to prevent it from occurring. This session includes an exploration of early intervention activities in schools, an example of work that focuses on strengthening young people’s connections to natural supports and a tertiary intervention strategy that reduces the likelihood of youth recycling back into homelessness and having poor trajectories in mental health and quality of life without the supports beyond basic housing. All three programs can be replicated to meet the local context of communities.

Concurrent Session #8

Ontario Youth Homelessness Community Planning Info Session Communities and all levels of government across Canada have begun to recognize that youth homelessness is a complex social issue distinct from adult homelessness in its causes and conditions. In response, community planning that involves broad multi- sector engagement is increasing as an effective strategy to ensure innovative upstream solutions. Several communities are pioneering this work across the province and the government of Ontario has made youth homelessness one of four priorities in the review of the province’s Poverty Reduction Strategy. Now is the moment to support and scale these efforts into a province-wide community of practice.

Page 104 of 225 13

A Way Home Canada, a national coalition to prevent and end youth homelessness, invites you to an Ontario Information Session for community leaders working on or interested in community planning to prevent and end youth homelessness.

November 10, 2016

Dear Head of Council:

We are writing to announce the release of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) municipal allocations for 2017.

In 2017, the province will maintain OMPF funding at $505 million, which will provide unconditional support to 388 municipalities across the province. The province will continue to provide unconditional funding in 2017 and beyond.

When the OMPF is combined with the provincial uploads, the municipal benefit will total more than $2.4 billion in 2017. This is nearly four times the level of funding provided in 2004, and is the equivalent of 13 per cent of municipal property tax revenue.

As you know, the OMPF was redesigned in 2014 following consultations with municipalities from across the province. Consultations with municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) have continued over the past year and have focused on refining the program to ensure it meets the long-term priorities of municipalities.

The 2017 OMPF reflects the core objectives of the redesigned program, while balancing the range of views expressed by municipalities through this year’s consultations.

The 2017 program will further target support to municipalities with more challenging fiscal circumstances by increasing the Northern and Rural Fiscal Circumstances Grant to $82 million from $67 million in 2016. This is an increase of over 20 per cent to this grant component and means that municipalities with more challenging fiscal circumstances will see their funding through this grant component increase in 2017.

Through the consultation process, we heard positive feedback on the funding enhancement introduced last year that is targeted to municipalities with the highest levels of farm land, in recognition of their unique challenges. In 2017, the Rural Communities Grant will be increased to $148 million from $143 million in 2016 to further target funding to municipalities across the province with the highest levels of farm land.

.../cont’d

Page 139 of 225 - 2 -

Finally, in order to help municipalities as they adjust to the redesigned program, municipalities will continue to receive a guaranteed minimum level of funding. The 2017 minimum funding guarantee for municipalities in will be at least 85 per cent of their 2016 OMPF allocations and for municipalities in will be at least 90 per cent of their 2016 OMPF allocations.

Municipalities in all regions of the province with the most challenging fiscal circumstances will continue to have their funding maintained at 100 per cent of the prior year’s allocation.

The Ministry of Finance’s (MOF) Provincial-Local Finance Division will be providing your municipal Treasurers and Clerk-Treasurers with further details on the 2017 OMPF. This information and other supporting materials will be posted in both English and French on the MOF website: http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/budget/ompf/2017

Our government has a very strong record of supporting and working with municipalities. As outlined in the 2016 Ontario Budget, we are pleased to fulfil our commitment to the upload of social assistance benefit programs, as well as court security and prisoner transportation costs, off the local property tax base. These uploads will be fully implemented by 2018. As a result of the uploads, municipalities will benefit from more than $1.9 billion in reduced costs in 2017 alone.

Our commitment to the provincial uploads means that overall support to municipalities will continue to increase. In 2017, municipalities will benefit from more than $4 billion in ongoing support through the OMPF, provincial uploads, and other provincial initiatives – an increase of $2.9 billion from the level provided in 2003.

Going forward, the government’s focus will be on investing in the infrastructure that is vital to the health, prosperity and quality of life of Ontarians. In partnership with communities, Ontario is making significant infrastructure investments to create jobs and help the province grow and prosper.

The province’s infrastructure commitments include transit, transportation and other priority infrastructure through Moving Ontario Forward that is supported by $31.5 billion in dedicated funds. As part of Moving Ontario Forward, the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) is being expanded to $300 million per year by 2018-19, which will provide ongoing support for critical local infrastructure priorities. The expanded fund was launched in July of 2016.

.../cont’d

Page 140 of 225 - 3 -

In addition, the 2016 Budget announced that the government is introducing a new Connecting Links program that will provide $20 million in 2016-17 to help municipalities pay for construction and repair costs for municipal roads that connect two ends of a provincial highway through a community or to a border crossing. Funding for this program will increase to $30 million per year by 2018-19.

In September, the province signed a bilateral agreement with the federal government to make funding available under the federal Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF). The Province will contribute about $270 million in funding through the program to support immediate improvements to water distribution and treatment infrastructure, starting in 2016-17. This is in addition to a federal contribution of about $570 million.

We remain committed to consulting with our municipal partners to ensure the design of the OMPF reflects municipal priorities. We look forward to continuing the strong partnership we have with communities across Ontario.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Jackson:

Re: Generic Proceeding on Community Expansion (Natural Gas)

Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) hearing to consider cost recovery mechanisms for expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities that are not currently served. The OEB has now issued its decision. The decision provides principles to guide the recovery of costs associated with expanding natural gas services. New customers will pay the cost of expansion through a rate structure that reflects that cost. Costs will not be subsidized by existing natural gas customers. Gas utilities interested in expanding their services will need to apply to the OEB and each application will be considered by the OEB, as is the current practice. Gas companies approved by the OEB to expand to new communities must provide a long-term commitment (for example, 10 years) to maintain rate stability to ensure that rates are reflective of long-term costs. More details and the full decision can be found here (EB-2016-0004).

Thank you again for your interest.

Sincerely,

Original signed by

Mayor Clarke,

RE: Co-Ordinated Review of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, The Greenbelt Plan The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Plan .

The Simcoe County Home Builders Association {SCHBA) would like to thank you for your time, effort and consideration in providing your comments regarding the co-ordinated review of Ontario's planning regulations. Your concerns regarding the proposed density and intensification requirements. From the meetings we held across Simcoe County, we found that our Industry's concerns are aligned with those of all 18 municipalities within Simcoe County. Your efforts and response is a great first step; however, we believe that it is appropriate and important that the Provincial team leading this review be invited to The City of Orillia to hear your co ncerns firsthand.

We urge that you contact Assistant Deputy Minister Larry Clay, Ontario's Assistant Deputy Minister. We would encourage you to have Larry and his team come to your "backyard" to listen and provide a response. Mr. Clay can be contacted at the following:

Larry Clay - Assistant Deputy Minister Ministry of Municipal Affairs Office College Park 4th Floor Suite 425 777 Bay St, Toronto, ON MSG 2ES

Office: {416} 325-5803 Email: [email protected] Website: www.placestogrow.ca

In our view this request will greatly reinforce the concerns expressed in your comment letter to the Province. By doing so, this will be instrumental in having the proposed Provincial recommendations reconsidered, to be a more realistic and achievable plan.

Ontario Home Builders' Association Page 149 of 225 Finally, enclosed please find a copy of our Associations comments to the Province on the proposed Growth Plan . You will notice that on this matter there is a unified opinion across the entire County. We would greatly appreciate if you could "keep us in the loop".

Again, we thank you for the opportunity and your va lued input on this important issue. We look forward to continued dialogue on this and any other iss ues concerning the building and development industry as it relates t.o The City of Orillia.

Honourab le Bi ll Mauro Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing Land Use Planning Review Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Ontario Growth Secretariat

1 777 Bay Street, Suite 425, 4 h Floor Toronto, Ontario MSG 2ES

Dear Minister Mauro:

RE: Co-Ordinated Review of the Growth Plan for the Greater Go lden Horseshoe, The Greenbelt Plan The Oak Ridges Moraine Co nservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Pl an.

The Sim coe Cou nty Home Builders Association (SCHBA) represents builders, developer's renovators, sub-contractors, suppliers and building industry professionals in Simcoe County. Our association is strongly supportive of building "complete communities" which includes a variety of housing choice for a broad spectrum of income levels, efficient utilization of exist ing and planned public transit infrastructure, creating employment opportunities within our co mmunities and appropriate measures to protect our natural environment.

Simcoe County is the region immediately north of the Great er Golden Horseshoe which is home to 450,000 people and has an employment ba se of over 230,000. Th e County is comprised of 18 municipal jurisdictions which include:

Adjala -Tosorontio Bradford West Gwillimbury Clearview Collingwood Essa lnnisfil Midland Oro-Medonte Penetanguishene Rama ra Severn Springwater Tay Tiny Wa saga Beach City of Barrie City of Orillia

Ontario Home Builders' Association

Page 151 of 225 Given its strategic location the County has and will co ntinue t o experience a tremendous amount of growth and Provincial Planning Policy will to a large degree dictate and shape its future. Accordingly, our association has reached out to meet and have in-depth discuss ion with every Town and City in the County, including the County seat, to solicit their com ments on the proposed amendments to the Growth Plan and your co-ordinated land use planning review. All have responded and enclosed please find an electronic ve rsio n of their respective staff reports and or correspondence with t he exception of Barrie, Essa and Tay Township who will forward their respective reports directly.

The proposed changes to the above noted four Provin cial Plans represent a pa radigm sh ift on how new communities will be built and existing communities will be intensified. Our main concern relates to the proposal to require development in Designated Greenfield Areas (DGA) to be bu ilt at a density of 80 people & jobs per hectare up from the current requirement of SO and an increase in the intensification target within the built boundary from 40% to 60%. If implemented these two regulations will dramatically change the communities within Simcoe County.

Our municipal outreach has received unanimous co nfirmation that the proposed density of 80 residents and jobs per hectare is unrealistic and unachievable.

"While staff have not completed an exe rcise as yet to determine if the proposed intensification and density target are feasible, staff note that the Town is currently not achieving the existing targets of 40% and SO residents and jobs/hectare res pectively. As such, it would be unlikely that the Town, or most other municipalit ies in Simcoe County, would be able to achieve the proposed targets." Town of New Tecu mseth "The city's current Official Plan was approved by theM inistry of Municipa l affairs and Housing in 2013, and includes an alternative density target of 42 person and jobs per hectare within the designated Greenfield Area . A change from 42 persons and jobs per hectare to 80 would be very difficult to attain in Orillia."

Sim coe Cou nty is an outer ring municipal jurisdiction. The overwhelming comment is that each municipa lity will be seeking alternative targets for both development densities in the DGA as well as intensification targets within the build bou ndary. Furthermore, given that the Cou nty will administer requests for alternative density targets these policies need to be clear and recognize each proposal within the loca l context, particu larly considering the availability of sewer, water and transportation infrastru cture.

"An increase in these targets to what is proposed (60% intensification and a density of 80 residents and jobs per hectare) would have significant impact s on the built form and chara cter of lnnisfil. As such, the Tow n should have the ability to maintain alternative development targets... " lnnisfil. "Development within Simcoe Co unty is unique from other areas within the GGH . The Count y is within the "outer ring" and thus, alternative targets are permitted to be considered. The existing Simcoe County Official Plan identifies alternative intensificatio n and density target for the lower tier municipalities. These alternative targets can be maintained until such time that the County undertakes an Intens ification Strategy through a Municipal Com prehensive Review (MCR) to assess what the int ensification and density targets should be across the County." Simcoe County.

The SCHBA strongly recom mends that the current t arget s of SO residents and jobs per hectare and an intensification target of 40% w ithin the built boundary be maintained and that "outer ring" municipalities be allowed to est ablish alternative ta rgets. These alternative targets shou ld be reflective of the local planning context as well as t he availability of sewer, water and transportation infrastructure. In addition, when ca lculating Greenfield densities the following lands should be excluded from the calculation:

Page 152 of 225 Cemeteries Stormwater Management Facilities Schools Landfills Arterial Roads Public Parks Public Open Space Employment Lands

Furthermore, the SCHBA strongly recommends that the urban built boundaries be updated to 2016 and that both density and intensification requirements be applied to new applications going forward. Committed lands w hich have been built, have been approved or are in process should be excluded from these new provisions. Failure to make this change would result in communities which have the densest forms of housing on the outer rea ches of town. Areas which for the most part have little in the way of community faci lities and public transit.

The SCHBA strongly recommends that any co nsidered expansion of the Greenbelt be undertaken only with the proper mapping, appropriate environmental study and ground-truthing to support this land designation rather than a random ad-hoc approach. Given the long term horizon of the Greenbelt and the potential long term impact on housing supply "white Belt" lands should be established around urban centres to allow for potential growth in the future. In our view good planning, particularly long term plans, should provide for a significant degree of flexibility to reflect changes in our society and communities.

As noted we have engaged in a significant amount of dialogue with our municipal partners over the la st few months. In each and every case there has been consensus between ourselves that the intention and framework of the Growth Plan is noble in establish ing complete communities for all, however, there is overwhelming agreement that the proposed policies are GTA centric and not appropriate for their loca lity. This "one size fits all" approach was not well received and is considered unrealistic. In terms of Greenfield densities are they achievable and implementable? Are the intensification targets achievable and are there even opportunities available? The underlying fear is that if these goals cannot be re ached will growth and opportunity be severely restricted and will their communities stagnate.

The SCHBA greatly appreciates to be afforded the opportunity to comment on these important Plans. We reaffirm our commitment to providing hea lthy, safe housing opportunities for all Ontarians. Plea se give our recommendations careful consideration. We are available for further co nsultation and co mment and are pleased to be avai lable at your convenience.

Sincerely, Simcoe County Home Builders Association

Mayor Steve Clarke and Members of Council City of Orillia 50 Andrew Street, Suite 300 Orillia, ON L3V 7T5

Dear Mayor Clarke and Ward Councillors:

Re: LSRCA Deputation to Orillia Council Members

On behalf of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mayor Clarke and Ward Councillors, for allowing Michael Walters and myself to present to Council last evening. Based on our discussion after the presentation, I believe a number of opportunities exist whereby LSRCA could assist the City in achieving some of its goals at a reduced cost, while providing additional benefits to the community. One such project would be the proposed expansion of the City of Orillia Water Pollution Control Facility.

You may not be aware that in 2014 LSRCA lead a study to evaluate the benefits of Water Quality Trading (WQT) in the Lake Simcoe watershed in collaboration with the MOECC, member municipalities, and the BILD industry. WQT is based on the premise that the most cost effective controls for a pollutant should be implemented first. For example, a sewage treatment plant (STP) that needs to expand to control phosphorus will likely incur much higher costs than implementing stormwater controls. Furthermore, other benefits could be realized by initiating the stormwater works in addition to phosphorus control, such as reducing urban runoff and the associated risk of flooding. In summary, WQT programs allow facilities facing higher pollution control costs to meet their regulatory obligations by purchasing environmentally equivalent pollution reductions from another source at lower cost, thus achieving the same water quality improvement at a lower overall cost.

Currently, WQT programs are being implemented in the Village of Nobleton in King Township and in the Town of New Tecumseth to service growth in the Town of Tottenham. The WQT is a condition of approval for the Upper York Sewage Solution Environmental Assessment to facilitate growth in York Region. In this instance, LSRCA will assist the Region of York in offsetting 336 kilograms per year through implementation of stormwater management controls.

I hope that our presentation demonstrated some of the benefits of joining LSRCA, and that Council and staff will consider having further dialogue regarding LSRCA’s key service areas and programs.

If you have any questions regarding the material or would like additional information, please contact either myself or Michael Walters, Chief Administrative Officer at this office.

Yours truly,

A hot, dry summer has kept our Tourist Information Centres bustling with visitors, keen to explore & experience the fabulous parks, waters, attractions, shops, restaurants & awesome events in Ontario's Lake Country!

Our depreciated dollar continues to spur Canadian travel at home. Ontarians made up our greatest number of visitors, followed by Quebeckers. The majority of Ontarians were from the GTA, Central & , with notable numbers from the & Sault Ste. Marie areas. We experienced an increase over last year in visitors, particularly from the London to Windsor corridor. Quebec visitors hailed mainly from the Montreal, Sherbrooke & Quebec City areas. The annual Quebec Construction Holiday brought an influx of Quebeckers from all areas of the Province during the last week of July & first week of August! Visitation from East Coast provinces, British Columbia & Alberta also increased over 2015. Border crossings from Ontario to the U.S. between January & May 2016 were down 12.0% over the same period last year.*

The depreciated Canadian dollar, low gas prices & border security streamlining continue to boost U.S. visitation to Canada. We saw a definite increase in American auto travellers this summer over 2015, mainly from New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan & Ohio. Many were time-share clientele, and many were exploring on their own. We again received compliments from U.S. visitors on our beautiful province & friendly service. Border crossings from the U.S. to Ontario between January & May 2016 were up 12.3% over the same period last year.*

Staff at the Ontario Travel Centre in Barrie & Tourism Simcoe County in Midhurst report a healthy increase in both Quebec & U.S. visitors over last year.

We welcomed international travellers from a variety of overseas countries, & saw an increase in visitors from England & over 2015.

Our web site Festivals & Events List generates numerous information inquiries. Please email date(s), description, link and contact number for tourism-oriented events to Brenda at [email protected]. so we can list & promote. We include many events in printed publications with our tourism advertisements, & post on a variety of web sites.

The consistent question from 99% of visitors is: "Do you have a map?" Despite the convenience of internet & GPS, printed maps are in high demand. We direct tourists to shopping, dining, attractions, accommodation, etc. on a daily basis using the Orillia & Area Guide Map. 2017 will be our eighteenth year of production. The maps will be printed in December & ready for targeted distribution beginning the first week of January. Tourism generates approximately $28 billion annually in Ontario**, so we need to continually update & market our great product.

Advertising information & contracts for our 2017 Orillia & Area Guide Map are enclosed with this newsletter. The deadline for receipt of contracts is October 03, 2016.

Chamber tourism staff and member volunteers marketed Orillia & Area attractions, activities and events at the Toronto International Boat Show, Toronto Spring Fishing & Boat Show and Toronto Sportsmen's Show during January, February and March 2016. We talked with hundreds of people and distributed an abundance of promotional materials and Chamber member brochures. We packed extras for the Sportsmen's Show in anticipation of greater than usual attendance due to March Break, but ran out of Orillia Maps, County Maps & Lake Country Guides by Saturday afternoon. A volunteer kindly brought more of these from Orillia Sunday morning to replenish our supply.

We sincerely thank member volunteers for your time, assistance and comradery at our trade show booths. Without you, we could not work these shows and represent our amazing area with the success we do!

The Chamber was represented by Tourism Simcoe County at the Toronto Star Golf & Travel Show, -Gatineau Golf Show, Toronto Spring Cottage Life Show, Ottawa Outdoor & Adventure Show and Ottawa Travel & Vacation Show during the first 4 months of 2016. We received positive feedback on all of these shows.

The Orillia & Area Guide Map is again being distributed by Tourism Simcoe County on the Simcoe County Rack and Border Runs, and by AdWorks/lnfoPik in Bobcaygeon on the Kawartha, Peterborough and Haliburton Region Rack Run. More than 60 tourist information centres along the Hwy. 401 corridor from Sarnia and Windsor to Ottawa and into Quebec are included on the TSC Border Run.

Over one-half of our 2016 Orillia & Area Guide Maps were distributed by the end of April, and we are concentrating on getting them into areas north of us by mid-May. We participated in a very successful South Simcoe I York Region Brochure Swap in on April 27th, and plan to attend the annual Chamber of Commerce Brochure Swap in June.

An increase in tourism inquiries to our office from the U.S. indicates the depreciated Canadian dollar and low gas prices will continue to boost American visitation to our area this summer. The year 2015 registered the highest number of overnight visits from the U.S. to Canada since 2008. From January to December 2015, total arrivals from the U.S. rose 8.3%, an overall increase generated by strong growth in auto arrivals (+9.9%), air arrivals (+6.4%), and arrivals by other modes (+4.8%).*

The Port of Orillia opens May 13th and closes Labour Day this year, to allow new building construction to get underway. We remind tourism-oriented members to take advantage of our Port and Train Station racks, and ask Port Pouch participants to keep the Port office supplied with your brochure or flyer insert throughout the season. Deliver brochures to Brenda at our Front Street office for display, handouts, mailings and convention packages. Notify Brenda of tourism-oriented events for our web site events list. Our Tourism Information Service is an excellent advertising vehicle ... and it's free!

Please don't hesitate to contact the Chamber office and refer customers with tourism inquiries. We wish everyone a safe and prosperous summer season!

Dear Mayor Steve Clarke and Members of Council,

Re: Centennial Drive Area Improvements

The Downtown Orillia Management Board respectfully requests the engineering study currently being undertaken on Centennial Drive be expanded to include the BIA in preparation for future improvements.

The Board passed the following motion at its November meeting:

"THAT the Downtown Orillia Management Board request Council to allocate dollars to conduct an engineering study of th e BIA at the same time as the study of Centennial Drive and Waterfront area as the first step in the physical revitalization of Downtown Orillia."

With the exception of the sidewalks outside of the Opera House and Orillia Public Library, the majority of the BIA's physical streetscape dates back more than 35 years and will require replacement within the next few of years.

Expanding the scope of the Centennial Drive Improvement Project will ensure the BIA and the City of Orillia has a clear picture of what will be required to move forward with the physical revitalization of Downtown Orillia.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Lisa Thomson-Roop Manager

From: Chip Green Sent: November-28-16 11:48 AM To: Clerks Internet Email Cc: Deb Maeers; Shawn Crawford; George Bowa Subject: Attn Mayor and Members of Counsel Re: Parking on Patrick Street

Below you will find the communications that I have had regarding the parking on Patrick St.

Please note that after speaking face to face with Mr. Shawn Crawford this morning the 2 parking tickets issued Sat Nov 19 have been voided. So issue number one has been addressed and corrected. We now need to deal with issue number two - re establishing parking on the weekends on Patrick st.

I would ask that this issue, the No Parking from 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Sunday, be re evaluated. It would appear that parking as Mr. Bowa states below, has been "allowed" for the past decade but most recently that has changed. This change seems to have been made for no particular reason other that it can be made.

As I have stated below, circumstances and situation have changed over the last decade that do not necessarily mean they need to be in place today. Frankly I totally understand the need to have NO parking in place weekdays from 7 am - 5 pm and for the No parking restriction overnight, but lack of the weekend day time parking is restrictive and unnecessary.

I would also like to ask why such change was not addressed with and to the residents prior to simply slapping up a new sign. Surely common sense and courtesy would have dictated otherwise.

I look forward to hear back from the appropriate people regarding this matter.

From: Chip Green Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2016 1:26 PM To: George Bowa Subject: Patrick St Parking

Page 213 of 225 Hello Mr. Bowa; On Sat Nov 19 2016 2 of my cars were ticketed at 10;26 and 10;27 am ( ticket #'s 86007 & 86008 ) . The reason they were parked across the street from my house was that I was in the process of changing my tires over to the winter tires. I have lived at 141 Patrick St for over 12 years and it would seem that the city of Orillia has changed the parking restriction very recently. So I ask 1. When did the change to the "new no parking from 7 am to 6 pm any day of the week " come into effect. 2. Why was such a change not communicated to the residence that would be affected by such a change. Because quite frankly when you have lived with a specific rule in effect for a long period of time you tend not to look at the sign to see if for some unknown reason it has changed. 3. Why was this change implemented. And why was it implemented without any impute or communication. 4. When is it going to be changed back!!!

I know that parking during the week during the " school " hours is not allowed and that during the winter months over night parking is not allowed but what's could be the issue on the weekend.

I went to the city office Monday Nov 21 at approx 9:30am but was told that you were away for 4 days . I spoke with Mrs. Fenton, who I know, she said that she would look into the issues I have ( see above ) , I gave her my business card but I have yet to hear back. I'm not looking to blame her or you for that matter but I want to establish a time line for my dispute of these tickets and to in the end get the parking back that was there and has been there. Quite frankly Patrick St is a residential st. and due to the single lane driveways requires on street parking during the weekends. Its not West St or Coldwater Rd that have a traffic flow that makes on street parking impossible.

Please note that I have not paid these tickets and I await your or your offices reply William (Chip) Green, CFP, EPC Senior Financial Consultant Certified Financial Planner Burton Team

From: Norma Martins Sent: November-10-16 2:37 PM To: Shawn Crawford Cc: Tony Gottwald Subject: Atlantis Drive and Bass Lake Side Road

City of Orillia, Mayor and members of Council,

I am writing requesting that you look into an issue school buses are having on Atlantis Drive and also Bass Lake Side road.

Currently there are vehicles parked on both sides of the road on Atlantis at the exit for Notre Dame Catholic school which is creating a problem for the buses trying to turn in either direction when they are leaving the school. As well as vehicles limiting the space needed for the buses to turn, there are parents and children coming and going from their vehicles not always paying attention to traffic.

The vehicles are parked up to the stop sign at Atlantis and Bass Lake as well as on Bass Lake, which makes it very difficult to make a turn.

I don’t think the public has any idea how much room is required to maneuver a bus around a corner, and how difficult is becomes with children moving around the bus.

If at all possible making the area on Atlantis a no parking zone would be ideal.

The parents could pull into the parking lot for Notre Dame school and use the walkways, which would make things safer for everyone.

Your consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Norma

N. Martins

From: CHERYL MCINTYRE Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2016 8:38 AM To: MAYOR EMAIL Subject: Transit

To the honourable Mayor and council,

I am writing to you regarding our city transit.

I am a regular user of our transit system and I find it seriously lacking in service and convenience and with winter on the way it is about to get even worse.

I have been waiting for the "town hall" meeting that was to happen in September, was pushed to October and still hasn't happened.

As a constituent, this tells me that improving our inefficient system may not of importance to city council.

Personally I feel the only way you are going to understand the frustration of the public is if you, the Mayor and all councillors, use public transit as you mode of transportation within the city.

I am putting forward a challenge to you.

Do not pay for any more "studies", or "reports".

Leave your vehicle at home, purchase a reasonably priced monthly bus pass and use our transit system as your mode of transportation for all your shopping and travel needs within city limits.

If you need office supplies from Staples, take the bus, you have a meeting at the college or university, take the bus, need groceries, take the bus.

Hopefully it wouldn't take you long to understand the frustration of regular users and drivers of the service.

-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of

Sent: Monday, December 05, 2016 3:00 PM To: MAYOR EMAIL Subject: City Transit Challenge

I challenge all of the Orillia City Council members to take our city transit for a minimum of week. This includes getting to and from work, shopping and entertainment. And this should be done in the winter. Our transit system has had many improvements over the years but there are any more that need to happen.

With this challenge I hope you are able to see how difficult it can be to get from one place to another and on time with our system. I also hope that while you ride the bus you take the time to speak with others on the bus and also the bus drivers. They are on the front line and can tell you many of the changes needed and the challenges they face on a daily basis.

I believe we need to take a look our current bus routes, see how long it takes to do the routes and also how many people stop at the many stops. We also need to look at a location to build a bus terminal. Our current use of downtown causes traffic delays, transit users to be left our in the elements and needing to rush constantly to get from one bus to another. Also there aren't safe public washrooms for patrons to use, yes we have the ones under the Opera House but have you seen them? We have so many empty locations around the downtown core, such as the old Rona that could easily be turned into a safe and effective terminal.

Orillia is a wonderful city and I am proud to say I live here. Just wish i was easier for those who also call it home and rely on the bus system. Lets make 2017 the year we focus on our Residents and not just the Tourist community.

Please feel free to contact me via email and hope to hear from you soon or see you accepting this challenge and riding the bus.

Cheers - Shay Jones
