  • Report CAO 05-2020 Council Meeting Date: June 23, 2020
    THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES Report CAO 05-2020 Council Meeting Date: June 23, 2020 TO: Mayor Weber and Members of Council FROM: Kevin Williams, Chief Administrative Officer RE: Gypsy Moth Outbreak RECOMMENDATION: THAT Report CAO 05-2020 regarding the Spring 2020 outbreak of Gypsy Moth be received. ____________________________________________________________ SUMMARY This report is provided to update Council on the localized impacts of a gypsy moth infestation. BACKGROUND There is a significant hatch/infestation of gypsy moth caterpillars taking place in an area of the municipality roughly bracketed by Ipperwash to the south, Grand Bend to the north, and Goosemarsh Line to the east. The most significant areas of defoliation are in large heavily forested tracts managed by the Pinery, the Conservation Authority, the Nature Conservancy, and the County. The Highway #21 corridor adjacent to the Pinery is particularly affected. Although gypsy moth caterpillars exist to some extent in many treed residential areas, the most affected seem to be in areas immediately adjacent to larger forest blocks. The municipality itself does not have any significant public land holdings or severely affected property assets in the affected area. The problem being expressed by residents is that the trees are being defoliated, and large numbers of caterpillars are hanging from trees and climbing up walls, cars, garbage cans etc. Tiny black pellets of “frass” are expelled by the caterpillars and litter paths, patios etc. Some people are sensitive to being touched by the pest as it can irritate exposed skin. In summary, the infestation is negatively impacting people’s enjoyment of both their property and adjacent woodlands, and there are concerns for the overall health of the trees.

(“Tridon”), owner of approximately 52 hectares of land on the east side of Highway 21 in the Port Blake area of the Municipality of South Huron (“Site”). It is our understanding that Tridon is proposing to develop the Site for residential uses, including single detached dwellings, townhouses and stacked townhouses. Ancillary supporting uses, including stormwater management ponds and a trail system are also proposed. To permit the development, Tridon is applying for an Official Plan Amendment to bring the Site into the settlement area and to establish residential land use designations. Gregory Thompson Consulting has been retained to complete a Housing Market Study in support of the Official Plan Amendment. More particularly, the purpose of the Housing Market Study is to assess the need for additional residential land within the settlement area, in keeping with the policies in the Provincial Policy Statement (“PPS”), the Huron County Official Plan (“County OP”), and the Municipality of South Huron Official Plan (“South Huron OP”).

  • 2020 Operating and Capital Budget
    Budget Detail OPERATING BUDGET Operating Budget Overview Operating Budget Summary TAX SUPPORTED Business Unit Detail USER RATE SUPPORTED Business Unit Detail Water Operating Wastewater Operating CAPITAL BUDGET Capital Budget Overview Capital Budget Project Listing Capital Budget Backup Detail Schedules SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS Tax Rate Impacts Debt Repayment Reserve Fund Impacts 2020 OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW The Lambton Shores 2020 Draft Budget is presented with established Business Units funded by both tax and user rate support. Detailed information on significant changes to the Business Units is outlined on the description pages provided in the budget binder. The budget was prepared using the 2019 budget, historic spending with a 3 year average, planned projects, inflationary adjustments as necessary, and any legislation changes. The tax supported annual allocation to the Capital Reserve Funds was increased by 2% over the 2019 allocation to account for inflationary pressure. As noted in the Capital Budget Overview, the capital projects are funded from the established infrastructure replacement reserve funds. Maintaining the contributions to reserve funds is essential for planning future asset replacements and is supported by the Asset Management Plan. Notable Revenue Increases Building permit revenue has increased $25,000 to reflect averages, growth and pending rate review. Parking Revenue has increased $30,000 to reflect the 3 year average. Harbour Revenues have increased to reflect the inclusion of funds from the Harbour Reserve Fund to offset additional work required for docks as a result of the high water level. The rate funded component; Water and Wastewater, revenues have increased to reflect the change in rates.
