ADJOURNMENT 2 Memorandum To: Mayor and Council, CAO/Clerk cc: Staff, Public From: Megan Bonenfant Date: February 27, 2020 RE: March 3, 2020 Regular Council Meeting 7. Old Business a) By-law 2020-08 to authorize tourist information centre operations agreement As directed by council last meeting, a by-law authorizing the Mayor and CAO/Clerk to execute the agreement with the Town of NEMI and other area municipalities for operating the Little Current tourist information centre has been prepared. As noted last meeting, the agreement will no longer include Central Manitoulin. By passing this by-law and executing the agreement, the township commits to paying their portion of the annual budget, generally determined in late winter/early spring for the current budget year. Should the township wish to withdraw in the future, one year’s notice is required. b) Western Manitoulin Community Network economic development priorities Please see the attached memo from the Economic Development Officer (EDO). Recommendation: That Council discuss the ideas brought forward as well as those of council and provide the EDO direction on a response to the WMCN. c) FONOM conference 2020 Councillor Alkenbrack requested this item be brought back as she would like to attend this conference. A resolution will be prepared. 8. New Business a) Drinking water system financial plan 2021-2027 Please see the attached memo and draft plan from the CAO/Clerk. Recommendation: That Council approve the Drinking Water System Financial Plan 2021-2027 as presented. b) Transition of Blue Box Program to full producer responsibility As mentioned during the strategic plan review meeting, there are significant changes coming to the way we recycle ‘blue box’ materials. Please see the attached correspondence from the AMO president regarding the upcoming transition to full producer responsibility. The township is being asked to select a preferred date to transition, as well as indicate whether the township would be willing to maintain existing collection services on behalf of the producers. The township does not currently have a contract with our recycling contractor, so we could transition as soon as possible without incurring contract cancellation charges. Maintaining our existing 3 collection services (e.g., the transfer station at the landfill) is theoretically not an issue, but warrants further thought and discussion during broader waste management discussions. Recommendation: That Council pass a resolution indicating a preferred transition date of January 1, 2023 and willingness to provide collection services subject to mutually agreeable terms. c) Manitoulin Streams NOHFC application support Please see the attached memo from the EDO. Recommendation: That Council support Manitoulin Stream’s initiative to secure funding for ecological and tourism/recreation project work with a three year horizon, partner with them in the Billings-relevant components of their project plan, and direct staff to write an appropriate letter of support, on behalf of council, to assist them in securing funding. d) Blue Sky Net request for support This item was brought forward from the Manitoulin Municipal Association. The material presented to the MMA is included in the agenda package and the Mayor’s committee report provides further background. Mayor Anderson and Councillor Barker will speak to this matter. Recommendation: That Council pass the requested resolution. e) By-law 2020-09 to authorize transfer payment agreement The township has received funding from the provincial and federal governments for the Main Street hill reconstruction. This by-law will authorize the execution of the funding agreement. Recommendation: That Council give By-law 2020-09 first, second and third reading and enact it. f) Health and Safety contract The contract for the shared health and safety coordinator position will end in April of this year. Central Manitoulin, the lead municipality for this contract, is seeking input from the other signees on their interest in continuing the service. Recommendation: That Council pass a resolution indicating their support for continuing the shared health and safety coordinator position past 2020. g) Climate Action Committee Appointments The application period for the Climate Action Committee closes on February 28th, after the publication of this agenda package. Council will be provided with the applications prior to the meeting. Council will need to appoint members to the committee, based on the following criteria, as established in the committee’s terms of reference: When selecting Committee members, council will seek individuals who: 4 i. have good knowledge of the community and are committed to finding solutions that work well for everyone ii. are deeply interested in ambitious local climate action and are committed to seeing implementation through iii. are eager to engage with both council and the public, in a manner respectful of the due process by which all municipal actions must abide iv. represent the diversity in Billings’ population, taking age, ethnic/cultural background, and gender into account Recommendation: That Council review the applications against the prescribed criteria and appoint members of the public to the Climate Action Committee. h) Newsletter Councillor Alkenbrack requested this item be added to the agenda and she will speak to it. An example newsletter from Burpee & Mills is included in the agenda package. 9. Correspondence a) Chief of Emergency Management re: 2019 Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act compliance The township has achieved compliance with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act for 2019. This is a significant advancement over the results from 2018 and provides a solid basis for continued improvement of the township’s emergency management program. b) Haliburton County re: Tourism Oriented Destination Signage fee increase Please see the attached request for support. Recommendation: That council pass a resolution of support for this motion. 10. Information There are a number of items attached for Council’s information.

  • Manitoulin Island Regional Energy &Emissions
    Manitoulin Island Regional Energy and Emissions Plan January 2021 Executive Summary This Regional Energy and Emissions Plan (REEP) for Manitoulin Island is presented at a time (Fall 2020) when the world, as we know it, is going through a period of enormous transformational change. Still reeling from the effects of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, our human population is realizing its own vulnerabilities and debating “what is next”? The question remains: How do we plan and prepare for a future that is more resilient, not only in terms of our response to the virus; but more generally in terms of how we develop communities more sustainably and in a way that ‘meets the needs of present generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.1 Proponents of sustainability are keen to ensure the redevelopment of our societies and communities will not only lead to satisfactory human health outcomes, but result in a more open, tolerant, and inclusive society - complimented by a vibrant local economy - that effectively balances the risks and effects of climate change. From a global perspective, the Paris Agreement serves as our current barometer of progress. Negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the agreement came into effect on November 4, 2016, and established the goal of holding an increase in global temperatures to between 1.5ºC - 2ºC above pre-industrial levels. It also introduced a commitment for signatures to the agreement to engage more constructively in the planning and implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. While the purpose of this study is to focus on regional energy and emissions, it is important to recognize how the three primary pillars of sustainability (social, economic, and environmental factors) should be considered as an integrated approach to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

A founding board has been established to move the project to the next phase. The website, www.hmcofi.com, is now up and running. We have taken the liberty of including the logos of those who have shown support for the project. Please advise if you do not wish your logo to be included. Up-to-date information about the project has been posted and we ask that you share the site with all the ratepayers and residents of your communities. At this moment, H&M COFI and its team is in the process of completing the application for the Universal Broadband Fund Program through the Federal Government. Meanwhile, we are anxiously waiting for news regarding the ICON Stage 2 Program from the Provincial Government. The partnership between the Municipality of Huron Shores and ROCK Networks Inc. and all of your letters of support have brought this project to a point where we can see it becoming a reality. Presently, members of the Board are contacting Educational Institutions and presenting H&M COFI and the advantages to the educational system into the future. Additional letters of support are being solicited for H&M COFI.

  • The Corporation of the Municipality of Huron Shores
    The Corporation of the Municipality of Huron Shores Office of the Mayor 02 October 2020 via email Dear First Nation Chiefs, Municipal Mayors and Councils RE: Improving Connectivity for Ontario Program Update Number Three I am pleased to report on the progress of The Huron Shore & Manitoulin Island Community Owned Fibre Infrastructure (H&M COFI) Broadband project . In August, we submitted a Stage 1 grant request to the Improving Connectivity for Ontario (ICON) Program, and on 25 September 2020, our project was selected for the next stage. The Stage 2 submission is a more detailed report of the H&M COFI project, which will seek up to 25% or $37.5M of the project's expected cost and is due 28 November 2020. If selected in Stage 2, the funds would allow us to commence in April 2021. Last week, our H&M COFI partners, ROCK Networks Inc., and I presented to FedNor a request for funds required to complete the Stage 2 submission. It was well-received, and due to the ICON Program's late November deadline, we anticipate a response shortly. The documents will provide a Governance and Business Operating Structure and High-Level Engineering Design for H&M COFI. In addition to the ICON submission, the documents enable requests to federal programs that fund rural broadband projects. As federal funding can support up to 50% of the cost of H&M COFI, these documents are essential for our progress forward. We have now entered a point of the project that will require a timely response from First Nations and Municipalities to address questions of an administrative nature that might be necessary for provincial and federal grant submissions.

    October 27, 2017 Via email: [email protected] Ms. Roselle Martino Assistant Deputy Minister Population and Public Health Division Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care 10th Floor, 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 2C4 Dear Ms. Martino: On behalf of the Sudbury & District Board of Health, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Report of the Minister’s Expert Panel on Public Health. In its review, the Board of Health considered the analyses of the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alPHa), dialogue at the Ministry’s Expert Panel information sessions, and the deliberations of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), among other discussions. Please note that the Sudbury & District Board of Health endorses alPHa’s submission dated October 17, 2017, which is attached to this letter. We applaud the Minister for his attention to this important sector of the health system in the context of health system transformation, and we recognize the Expert Panel members for their hard work in carrying out the Minister’s mandate. We would like to note that many of the principles and criteria that guided the work of the Expert Panel resonated with us, including in particular, the importance of maintaining a strong independent voice for public health, continuing to build meaningful relationships with municipalities and other community partners, the importance of accountability and transparency, and the need to ensure appropriate and equitable public health capacity across Ontario. The perspectives of the Sudbury & District Board of Health are informed by the fact that we are an autonomous governance body for local public health in Northern Ontario.
