The Sanderson House

Architectural Qualities

The date of construction of the earliest part of the Sanderson House is between 1818 and 1820. It was expanded in 1859. The original owner and builder was John Kipp, an early Quaker whose home was used for Quaker meetings before the first meeting house was built in 1820. The house was purchased by Dr. R. L. Sanderson in 1859 and expanded to include his doctor' s office. Dr. Sanderson was a practicing physician in St. Thomas and while attending a medical convention in his home and office were destroyed by fire. He chose to move to Sparta at that time. Sparta and St. Thomas were almost the

same size at that time.

The house is a long, rectangular building with an modern extension built off the back and a portico measuring 3 m by 5. 5m on the front. It is one- and- a- half storeys high with a full basement. It sits on a fieldstone foundation and measures 18. 5m long by 11m deep. The building is a clapboard frame house with corner board detailing. The doorway features Doric pillasters and sidelights. It is topped with a heavy entablature and triangular pediment with fan decoration. The portico repeats the same pattern with squared Doric columns, a heavy entablature, pediment and fan decoration. The portico was added in 1924. the door itself is a single wooden panel but not original to the house.

The roof is a simple, medium gable with projecting eaves and moulded fascia and soffit. There are projecting verges on the house, which also have moulded fascia, soffit, and frieze. There are two dormer windows in the front roof.

The chimneys were originally at each end and in the centre of the roof. Only the one at the west end is still functional. The east end one has been removed and the centre one is disconnected and will be removed due to the stress it is putting on the roof. The functioning one is on the exterior of the west side and is made of red brick. It has a wide lower half to fit the interior fireplace and then tapers to a standard chimney. The one on the east side was replaced with the original two glass- paned doors from the south side ( back) of the house before the addition was added.

The lower windows are rectangular with a pediment style decoration above with plain sides and a larger lower slip sill. The insides of the windows are made of wood. The windows themselves are very small with 21 pane upper sections and a single pane lower section. The lower section was probably changed in 1924 when the portico was added. The upper windows on the gabble ends are 2 over 2 sashes.

The basement entrance is on the east side of the house and is the only entrance to the basement. It is a two doors entrance on the ground with a gentle slope.

The Sanderson house is an excellent specimen of its type, and the rear extension, though built in 1990 with modern windows, is sympathetic to the original structure. Very few alterations to the exterior have been made.

Registry Office Material and Historical Significance

Correspondence received Page 12 of 91 from Heritage Central Elgin Page 2 of 3

The property on which the Sanderson House sits was originally deeded by the Crown to the Honourable James Baby. Baby willed the property to the to John Kipp, who later passed it on to his son Jesse Kipp. The Kipps sold the property to Dr. Robert Lyon Sanderson. It remained in the Sanderson family until 1990 when it was sold to Read and Judith Brown. The Brown' s descendants sold it to Tanya Clark and Timothy Parkin in 2014. It originally was the farm house of a 100 acre farm but the house and 6 acres were severed from the farmland in 1990.

The Sandersons were prominent citizens in Sparta for generations. Miss Lila Sanderson, daughter of Dr. R. L Sanderson was one of the founders of the Sparta Community Society in 1923. The descendants of Dr. R. L. Sanderson continued to own the property until 1990.

Mayor David Marr and Council Municipality of Central Elgin 450 Sunset Drive St. Thomas, ON NSR 5V1

Dear Mayor,

Sidewalks on Currie Boulevard

I write on behalf of myself, a majority of the residents of Currie Boulevard and many residents of Orchard Beach to ask that sidewalks be installed on Currie Boulevard. Signatures of those residents who support this initiative appear below.

Currently the only public pedestrian route to the village from Cunie Boulevard and Orchard Beach is up the hill on Currie Boulevard. The road on the hill is narrow and there are sharp turns all the way up. There is nowhere to walk except on the road. Oncoming tra?ic is not visible and the walk is very dangerous. Consequently travelling by car is the only safe way to get to the village from either Orchard Beach or Currie Boulevard. Sidewalks on the hill would encourage residents to walk rather than drive to the village.

As there is currently no public access to Little Beach from the east side (from Edward Street), residents who reside in Orchard Beach must walk on Currie Boulevard not only to go to the village but also to get to the beach. This is particularly hazardous for families attempting to walk the hill with children, coolers and other beach accessories.

We ask that this matter be placed before Council at their next meeting. On request, we would be happy to send a delegation to address members of Council in person.

Respectfully submitted,

U [,(,Q.«7 C). Julia Pigache

John Morrow will ask David McCarthy to provide Sally Martyn with a list of all the things David Harding has done to preserve local cultural heritage. 5.

New Business: 1.

August 31, 2017 Municipality of Central Elgin PER Re: 17th Annual Child Care Worker and Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day, October 25, 2017

To Ontario mayors and councils,

The Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care ( OCBCC), the Canadian Union of Public Employees ( LUPE) and other labour and community partners around Ontario have announced Wednesday. October 25, 2017 as the 171 annual Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day, a day of recognition for the many people who work providing early learning and child care services in your community. We are writing to ask that you and your Council consider proclaiming Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day in your municipality. A sample proclamation is attached.

This annual awareness day recognizes the education, skills, commitment and dedication of Early Childhood Educators ( ECEs) and child care staff, and each year is proclaimed by municipalities and school boards across Ontario. Many groups are recognized by way of municipal resolution. Such a day allows us to acknowledge the important contributions of child care workers and ECEs.

Even if your council does not issue official proclamations, there are many ways for your municipality to participate in celebrating this special day: Your council could sponsor a public announcement; Display our posters and distribute our buttons; Many municipalities organize events and contests for the day or have councilors or the mayor participate in events hosted by child care centres within the municipality. A document of further ideas and examples is attached.

We would love to acknowledge those municipalities celebrating child care workers and ECEs across Ontario on October 25, 2017. Let us know how your municipality is participating in the recognition day and we will add your municipality to our list of proclamations and celebrations.

Please direct any correspondence on proclamations and/ or celebration activities to the attention of Laurel Rothman, by mail: Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, 489 College St., Suite 206, Toronto, ON M6G 1A5, by fax at 416- 538- 6737, or by email at: laurelt@childcareontario. org.

Thank you for your consideration.

October 25, 2017

Resolution

Whereas years of research confirm the benefits of high quality child care for young children' s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development and later life outcomes; and

Whereas child care promotes the well- being of children and responds to the needs of parents, families and the broader community by supporting quality of life so that citizens can fully participate in and contribute to the economic and social life of their community; and

Whereas many studies show that trained and knowledgeable Early Childhood Educators and child care staff are the key to quality child care, and that good wages and working conditions are associated with higher job satisfaction and morale, lower staff turnover which leads to high quality education and care;

Therefore Be It Resolved that October 25, 2017 be designated the 17th annual Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day" in recognition of the education, dedication and commitment of child care workers to children, their families and quality of life of the community.

To all Elected Officials and Chief Administrative Officers:

In an effort to continue working in partnership with the City of St. Thomas and municipalities across Elgin County, Elgin St. Thomas Public Health is hosting a municipal knowledge exchange event at the health unit on Friday November 3, 2017 from 8:00 am-12:00 pm. This half day event is intended for elected officials, municipal staff and emergency service administrators. You are encouraged to share this invitation with your colleagues and attend this event to learn more about issues facing residents and how municipal decisions, policies and plans impact the health of our community.

A synopsis of local data along with a focus on upstream and system level work will be presented. Presentations will focus on the important role that municipalities have in creating healthy public policies through zoning, by-laws and official plans. The keynote presentation will be delivered by Craig Reid, a Senior Policy Advisor from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, who will address the potential municipal implications of the legalization of cannabis.

Public health staff will provide highlights from the system mapping reports produced this year. This will include highlights about the current system and barriers that have been identified through a social determinants of health lens that impact health and quality of life including:

• Access to affordable transportation • Access to affordable & safe housing • Access to affordable recreation • Access to healthy food

We look forward to engaging in a fulsome dialogue with you about these important issues and discussing potential solutions as municipalities have a critical role to play in moving forward. On behalf of Elgin St. Thomas Public Health, we look forward to seeing you at this event.

Sincerely,

Dr. Joyce Lock Medical Officer of Health

Dear Mayor and Council,

As I am sure you are aware, many individuals in our region frequently encounter of lack of access to medical care, or difficulty in connecting with a medical professional that can offer the help that they need. This issue is extremely pressing and time sensitive for many constituents in our area, and as elected officials, we have a responsibility to attempt to alleviate the pressure this situation applies to Canadians.

This issue may grow if the Liberal government proceeds with their currently structured changes to the tax system. These changes will restrict the ability of small, private businesses and corporations to manage their funds and plan for difficult situations.

Many doctors, family physicians, and other medical professionals will be impacted by these changes and may face increased financial difficulty. This may in turn, affect their ability to accept new patients, further worsening the situation faced by Canadians in our area.

Throughout Elgin -Middlesex - London, I am aware of the physician recruitment initiatives done by our local municipalities and counties. I fear that all this hard work may be jeopardized by the recent changes put forward by the government.

Thank you for your leadership in our community. Please provide me with any feedback or specific concerns you have with these changes for my future reference.

Sincerely,

p, Date Rec.: File # Karen Vecchio Member of Parliament Name/ Subject: l Elgin -Middlesex -London other:

Re: Vacancy/Excess Land Reduction/ Rebate

Please be advised that Elgin County Council at its September 26, 2017 meeting approved the elimination of the Vacancy/ Excess Land Reduction/ Rebate program effective in the 2018 taxation year.

In late 2016, the province gave municipalities greater flexibility in setting the vacancy/ excess land ratio. At the recommendation of local treasurers, the rebate program in question will be eliminated and the resulting $ 80, 000 in increased County taxation be used to provide ongoing annual funding to the County' s Community Improvement Plan ( CIP) program. The CIP scoring matrix will be updated to prioritize upgrades to vacant business properties increasing the likelihood that they will become occupied. The County of Elgin believes that reducing the number of vacant business properties will benefit all businesses and keep our rural downtowns vibrant and appealing to consumers.

Once changes to the CIP are finalized, Elgin County Economic Development will host three education sessions for owners of vacant business properties:

Tuesday, November 28th, 5: 30 - 7: 00 p. m., Springfield & Area Community Service Building, 51221 Ron McNeil Line, Springfield

Wednesday, November 29th, 2: 00 - 3: 30 p. m., Elgin County Administration Building Basement Training Room, 450 Sunset Drive, St. Thomas

Thursday, November 30th, 5: 30 - 7:00 p. m., West Elgin Municipal Office, 22413 Hoskins Line, Rodney As a courtesy to vacant/ excess land owners, Elgin County respectfully requests that you send out a letter notifying those affected by the elimination of this rebate.

Enclosed please find a copy of the report titled ' Vacancy/ Excess Land Reduction/ Rebate."

FROM: Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services Alan Smith, General Manager of Economic Development

DATE: September 8, 2017

SUBJECT: Vacancy/ Excess Land Reduction/ Rebate

INTRODUCTION:

On December 21, 2016 the province announced changes to tax policy which included greater flexibility starting in 2017. This includes greater flexibility in setting the vacancy/ excess land reduction rate on commercial and industrial properties. The local treasurers agree that vacancy/ excess land ratios should be unchanged for 2017, but are processing changes for future years. Delaying ratio changes until next year but announcing those changes in 2017 will give proper notice to businesses of changes to their taxes.

DISCUSSION:

Properties that are left vacant/ excess land for extended periods of time undermine their communities as the properties become derelict and the rural downtowns become less appealing to consumers. The current policy of providing a reduction/ rebate for being vacant/ excess land rewards properties that are negatively affecting their business neighbours. Currently the county share of the vacancy/ excess land reduction is approximately $ 80, 000 and municipal partners would have an approximate equal value.

Starting in 2018, the local treasurers are recommending that the vacancy/ excess land program be eliminated. The county' s Community Improvement Plan ( CIP) program could be provided ongoing annual funding of$ 80, 000 as a result of the increased taxes received by the elimination of the vacancy/ excess land program. The CIP scoring matrix could be modified to prioritize vacant/excess land buildings. Investments in upgrading vacant/ excess land buildings will likely have the greatest impact for every CIP dollar spent. Upgraded vacant/ excess land buildings are ultimately more likely to become occupied. By reducing the number of vacant/ excess land buildings, all businesses should benefit as the communities become more appealing to consumers. A separate report will be brought forward later this year to discuss changes to the CIP scoring matrix based on the experience gained during its first year in operation. The proposed changes to the scoring will include a vacancy/ excess land component.

Once the CIP changes are finalized, the Economic Development department will conduct information sessions for owners of vacant business properties. These sessions will have two objectives: to inform that$ 80, 000 annually for the CIP program will be funded through the elimination of the vacancy rebate; and, to educate about how the CIP program grants can be used to upgrade vacant facilities.

Correspondence received Page 45 of 91 from the County of Elgin Counties that decide to modify the program must notify the Minister of their intent to utilize this flexibility and provide details of the proposed changes along with a council resolution. Changes to the rebate and reduction programs will be implemented through regulation for each municipality.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

THAT the vacancy/ excess land rebate program be eliminated starting with the 2018 taxation year; and,

THAT the tax ratio on vacant/ excess land commercial and industrial properties be set to the same ratio as the occupied classes starting with the 2018 taxation year; and,

THAT Council notify the province of the elimination of the vacancy/ excess land rebate/ reduction programs starting with the 2018 taxation year; and,

THAT copies of the resolutions from the Vacancy/ Excess Land Reduction/ Rebate report dated September 8, 2017 be forwarded to local municipalities; and,

THAT the local municipalities be requested to send out a notification letter with the next tax bill notifying vacant/ excess land property owners of the elimination of the rebate/ reduction program; and,

THAT information/ education seminars be conducted to inform local businesses of the availability of Community Improvement Plan ( CIP) grant funding to upgrade vacant facilities funded by the elimination of the vacancy rebate; and,

THAT $ 80, 000 be added to the Community Improvement Plan ( CIP) budget for consideration in the 2018 budget deliberation.

All of which is Respectfully Submitted Approved for Submission

VACANT UNIT REBATE AND VACANT/ EXCESS LAND SUBCLASSES January 2017

Since 1998, the Vacant Unit Rebate and Vacant/ Excess Land Subclasses have provided tax rebates and reductions to property owners who have vacancies in commercial and industrial buildings or land.

Vacant Unit Rebates: The Vacant Unit Rebate provides a tax rebate to property owners who have vacancies in commercial and industrial buildings. This application- based program is administered by municipalities. The current rebate is 30% of the property tax for vacant commercial space and 35% for vacant industrial space.

Vacant and Excess Land Property Tax Subclass: Commercial and industrial properties or portions of these properties in the Vacant and Excess Land Property Tax Subclasses are taxed at a fixed percentage rate below the tax rate of the broad class. These properties are discounted at 30% to 35% of the full Commercial and/ or Industrial rate.

Currently, upper- and single- tier municipalities may choose to apply the same percentage of relief( between 30%- 35%) to both the commercial and industrial property classes.

NEW MUNICIPAL FLEXIBILITY FOR 2017 AND FUTURE YEARS

The Province has reviewed the Vacant Unit Rebate and the Vacant/ Excess Land Subclasses in consultation with municipal and business stakeholders.

In response to municipal and other stakeholders' requests, the Province is now moving forward with providing municipalities broad flexibility for 2017 and future years. This change, announced in November 2016, is intended to allow municipalities to tailor the vacant rebate and reduction programs to reflect community needs and circumstances, while considering the interests of local businesses.

In order to provide the most flexibility for municipalities, changes to the rebate and reduction programs will be implemented through regulation. Upper- and single- tier municipalities that have decided to change the programs can notify the Minister of their intent to utilize this flexibility and provide details of the proposed changes along with a council resolution.

To support implementation of changes to the vacant rebate and reduction programs, municipalities should review the attached checklist prior to submitting a request for changes to the Minister.

Correspondence received Page 47 of 91 from the County of Elgin IMPLEMENTATION

Municipalities wishing to utilize the flexibility available to them must submit details of proposed changes to the Minister along with a council resolution by one of the following dates to ensure amendments are included in a regulation as soon as possible.

March 1, 2017

April 1, 2017 July 1, 2017

Municipalities will be notified when the regulation implementing the requested changes has been enacted.

Note that in two-tiered municipalities, any program changes to be implemented will be an upper-tier municipal decision, consistent with the flexibility currently available to upper-tier municipalities, to determine the rebate and reduction percentage between 30% and 35%.

The Province has an interest in continuing to ensure tax competitiveness and consistency for taxpayers and as such, the Minister will consider proposed program changes within this

context.

PREPARED BY: Donald N. Leitch, Chief Administrative Officer

SUBJECT: Proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program— Municipality of Bayham

TO COUNCIL: October 10, 2017

RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council pass a resolution expressing its support in principle for the Proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program as described in Municipality of Bayham Report CAO- 57/ 17 AND THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to all of the lower-tier municipalities within Elgin County.

REPORT: The current agreement between the County of Elgin and the lower- tier municipalities respecting the maintenance of County roads by lower tier municipalities expires at the end of the year. The County is in the process of developing a new agreement that will take effect in 2018. Council, at its meeting of June 12, 2017, endorsed a resolution passed by the Municipality of Bayham Council that included revisions to the draft County road maintenance agreement. Among the suggested amendments was the transfer of responsibility for sidewalks on County roads from the lower-tier municipalities to the County.

Currently, the County of Elgin is not responsible for the construction and maintenance of sidewalks on roads under its jurisdiction. Section 55 of the Municipal Act indicates that the upper- tier municipality is not responsible for the sidewalks unless the upper and lower tier municipalities agree that the County will have responsibility. In recent years, the Central Elgin has constructed new sidewalks on County roads, such as Centennial Avenue and East Road, at the expense of Central Elgin.

Proposed Elgin County Page 65 of 91 Sidewalk Grant Program - 2

Subsequent to the June 12, 2017 Central Elgin Council meeting, the Municipality of Bayham has further developed the concept of a County road sidewalk grant program and suggested a model that includes a grant formula that would provide an annual grant to lower- tier municipalities based on the number of " urban" kilometres of County road in each lower- tier municipality. ( see Bayham correspondence attached). With Bayham' s proposal, Central Elgin could receive approximately 32% of the total proposed County sidewalk grant. Bayham has requested support from other lower- tier municipalities. The Township of Southwold Council has passed a motion opposing the funding model and formula suggested by Bayham. Southwold has not proposed an alternative model nor indicated the reasons for its opposition to the Bayham proposal.

Staff would suggest that the Bayham proposal, based on " urban" kilometres of County road within the lower-tier municipality, provides a fair method of apportioning a County road sidewalk grant to the seven lower-tier municipalities within the County. Therefore, staff would recommend that Council pass a resolution endorsing in principle the proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant program as detailed in Municipality of Bayham Report CAO- 57/ 17.

It is important to note that at this time, the County has not agreed to provide any grant for the capital and maintenance costs associated with the provision of sidewalks on County roads nor agreed to assume any responsibility for sidewalks on County roads.

REPORT CAO prortunity Isqjov

TO: Mayor& Members of Council FROM: Paul Shipway, CAOICIerk DATE: August 17, 2017

REPORT: CAO- 57/ 17

SUBJECT: PROPOSED ELGIN COUNTY SIDEWALK GRANT PROGRAM

BACKGROUND

On April 18, 2013 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed By- law No. 2013- 038, being a by-law to authorize the execution of a County Roads Agreement with Elgin County. Agreement No. 0063-03 outlines the provisions of road maintenance provided by the Municipality of Bayham on Elgin County Roads. Agreement No. 0063- 03 expires December 31, 2017.

On May 8, 2017 the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Malahide sent correspondence concerning the County Road Maintenance Agreement which included sidewalk related commentary as follows:

Currently, sidewalks are not addressed in the agreement. The Township Staff would like to see the obligation for sidewalks that are on County Roads become a County responsibility. Currently, the County does not undertake any capital or maintenance obligations for sidewalks.

Under the current arrangement, if a lower tier municipality receives a request for sidewalks on a County road, the County' s position is that the obligation to install and maintain the sidewalk is at the lower tiermunicipal, ty's expense. The Township Staff feels that the obligation to provide sidewalks on Elgin County roads should rest with the County.

MostJurisdictions recognize that the road allowance is no longer exclusive for motor vehicles and that their scope of responsibilities includes the provision of infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The Township Staff feels that this obligation to provide this service has been imposed onto the lower tier municipalities. In many cases, it is an onerous and costly task to provide this infrastructure. In Malahide, sidewalks on County roads have been constructed to a higher standard than would be seen on a local road.

From the Staff's perspective, it would appear that the most demand for sidewalks is on Elgin County roads. This was especially evident during the development of the Springfield Sidewalk Master Plan. Where, in most cases, residents/ pedestrians were satisfied to share the local roads with cars and bicycles, they were not willing to do so when they reached the County roads. The County road typically sees higher traffic volumes with increased truck traffic. The need for sidewalk to provide adequate separation is of greater importance. Pedestrian safety on County roads

Proposed Elgin County Page 68 of 91 Sidewalk Grant Program - was a major element of the[ Malahidej Sidewalk Master Plan. Given the County' s position of not providing sidewalks, it left the Township with little choice but to develop infrastructure on County property. It is likely that this trend will increase.

Malahide Staff propose the inclusion of sidewalk maintenance within the County of Elgin road allowances as a part of the agreement. With provincially legislated accessibility requirements and the increasing interest in the Elgin- St. Thomas Health Unit's Active Elgin initiative, the Township Staff feels that the County should take the lead on all pedestrian facilities within their road allowances.

On June 1, 2017 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed the following resolution:

THAT Report CAO- 36/ 17 re County Road Maintenance Agreement be received for information;

AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham direct staff to proceed with County Road Maintenance Agreement negotiations as outlined within Report CAO 36/ 17.

AND THAT staff be directed to provide a copy of Report CAO 36/ 17 re County Road Maintenance Agreement be forwarded to Elgin County lower tier municipalities and Mr. Peter Dutchak, Elgin County Deputy Director of Engineering Services.

Since June 2017, Mr. Peter Dutchak, Elgin County Deputy Director of Engineering Services, Elgin County lower- tier Road Operation Supervisors and other relevant staff have held discussions pertaining to the County Road Maintenance Agreement provisions. Among those discussions was a consideration to design a separate Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program Agreement, outside of the County Road Maintenance Agreement, for lower- tier Council consideration and if supported by lower- tier municipalities, Elgin County Council consideration.

DISCUSSION

The relevant Sections of the Municipal Act, 2001, S. O. 2001, c. 25, pertaining to sidewalks and upper- tier and lower- tier relations are as follows:

55(1) An upper-tier municipality is not responsible for the construction and maintenance of sidewalks on its highways and the lower- tier municipality in which the highways are located is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the sidewalks and has jurisdiction over that part of the highway, unless the municipalities agree otherwise. 2001, c. 25, s. 55 ( 1).

55( 2) A lower-tier municipality that is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the sidewalks on upper- tier highways is liable for any injury or damage arising from the construction or presence of the sidewalk to the same extent and subject to the same limitations to which a municipality is liable under section 44 in respect of a sidewalk on its own highway. 2001, c. 25, s. 55 ( 2).

55( 3) A lower- tier municipality may, with the agreement of the upper-tier municipality, construct a sidewalk or other improvement or service on an upper- tier highway and the lower-tier municipality is liable for any injury or damage arising from the construction or presence of the sidewalk, improvement or service. 2001, c. 25, s. 55 ( 3).

Section 20( 1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S. O. 2001, c. 25, pertaining to Joint Undertakings, is also relevant to a potential financial contribution from the County towards sidewalk maintenance and capital costs:

Proposed Elgin County Page 69 of 91 Sidewalk Grant Program - 20( 1) A municipality may enter into an agreement with one or more municipalities or local bodies, as defined in section 19, or a combination of both to jointly provide, for their joint benefit, any matter which all of them have the power to provide within their own boundaries. 2001, c. 25, s. 20( 1).

Utilizing Section 20( 1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S. O. 2001, c. 25, pertaining to Joint Undertakings, staff, in conjunction with all lower- tier Road Operation Supervisors and relevant staff have developed the grant formula attached hereto as Appendix' A' for Council consideration.

The key components of the financial formula are as follows:

1) Sidewalk Capital Costs: a. Urban Road Lengths x 1. 8 metres2 x$ 80. 323/ 50 years°

2) Rest Areas- Accessibility a. Urban Road Length/ 250 metres' x $ 540. 96/ 50 years

3) Tactile Indicators- Accessibility a. Urban Road Length/ 250 metres' x 2' x$ 1, 200. 00/ 15 years

4) Winter Maintenance Costs a. Urban Road Length/ 981 metres' x$ 58.009 x 4010

Although the proposed 2018 Elgin County Sidewalk Grant is substantial, in the amount of 306, 918. 32 a few key indicators are relevant:

1) The average 2014-2016 annual Elgin County capital budget surplus has been in excess of$ 500, 000.

2) The proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant calculations utilize total road kilometres, not lane kilometres. To establish sidewalks on both sides of all ' Urban' roads would be double the cost.

Additionally the May 8, 2017 Township of Malahide correspondence outlined sound reasoning for potential financial contribution to lower-tier municipalities for the provision and maintenance of sidewalks on County roads. Those concepts, beyond general efforts towards greater accessibility, are further expanded as follows:

Proposed Elgin County Page 70 of 91 Sidewalk Grant Program - 1) Senior Needs- Sidewalk and" walkability" improvements 2) Recreation Needs- More trails and paths a. Advocate for" active transportation"( involving physical activity such as walking, cycling, etc.) with political representatives, advocacy groups and seniors. b. Develop a County-wide trail strategy with the leadership of the Healthy Communities Partnership to increase walkability and bikability.

ELGIN ST. THOMAS HEALTH UNIT- AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION IN ELGIN ST. THOMAS

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, active transportation is defined as any form of transportation that is human- powered such as walking, cycling, non-mechanized wheel chairing, and skateboarding. Supportive infrastructure for active transportation is encouraged by integrating features into community design. Features include trails, parks, sidewalks, and street lighting shaping active, healthy communities). Many of the municipalities within Elgin support active transportation within their official plans. It's important for active transportation to be promoted in our community as an alternative to the car culture and attempt to get more people physically active. Not only can active transport be seen as a way to be physically active but it can also be seen as a mode of transportation when practical to commute from one place to another.

ELGIN ST. THOMAS HEALTH UNIT- ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE RECREATION REPORT

The provision of complete communities with sufficient infrastructure for active transportation, public transit, and access to education, work, retail and services is particularly important to those of lower income who may not have their own vehicle to rely upon, or who are otherwise disadvantaged ( 4). Thus, municipalities and community partners can work together to create and promote the availability of supportive environments and neighbourhoods that enable physical activity and when accessed regularly, will lead to a healthier more vibrant community.

Active Transportation is walking, running, hiking, biking and rolling. It includes:

Active Recreation: Using Active Transportation modes for fitness and recreation ( e.g., hiking, walking, cycling, etc.) Active Destination Oriented Trips: Using Active Transportation modes for shopping, visiting friends, attending sporting events, running errands etc. Active Commuting: Using Active Transportation to get to and from work and school. Active Workplace Travel: Using Active Transportation modes during the business day to attend meetings, make deliveries etc.

ELGIN COUNTY OFFICIAL PLAN

1) Section A4. 4— Infrastructure a. To establish an integrated transportation system that safely and efficiently accommodates various modes of transportation including automobiles, trucks, public transit, cycling and walking.

2) Section E5— Transportation a. It is the objective of this Plan to: i. establish an integrated transportation system that safely and efficiently accommodates various modes of transportation including trains, automobiles, trucks, air, public transit, cycling and walking; H. promote public transit, cycling and walking as energy efficient, affordable and accessible forms of travel;

ELGIN COUNTY STRATEGIC VISION 2015- 2018

Proposed Elgin County Page 71 of 91 Sidewalk Grant Program - 1) Promote Elgin for business and attract people to communities— measure success of this through outcomes

CONCLUSION

Considering all of the above and attached information a multi- year Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Agreement, indexed annually, which mirrors the term of the Elgin County Road Maintenance Agreement, has the opportunity to make a substantial impact within Elgin County towards the goals of many programs and Elgin St. Thomas Public Health Unit objectives.

Through the utilization of Section 20( 1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, S. O. 2001, c. 25, pertaining to Joint Undertakings, Elgin County could provide an unconditional grant to lower- tier municipalities. Elgin County would provide an annual financial allocation for sidewalks and would not assume ownership or maintenance responsibility from the lower- tier. The lower-tier municipality would retain the decision- making authority regarding allocation of the funds, however annually, for accountability purposes the lower-tier municipality could sign an attestation form that the funding has been utilized on sidewalks within the lower- tier municipality. The program, if enacted, would be a key partnership between the County and lower- tier municipalities maintaining and enhancing walkability infrastructure.

RECOMMENDATION

1. THAT Report CAO- 57/ 17 re Proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program be received for information;

2. AND THAT staff be directed to circulate Report CAO 57/ 17 re Proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant to all Elgin County lower-tier municipalities seeking support of the Proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program;

3. AND THAT pending the support of all Elgin County lower-tier municipalities, Elgin County Council be respectfully requested to consider implementation of the proposed Elgin County Sidewalk Grant Program effective 2018.

New Action Item: Paul to add a column to the Annual Water Quality Reports to show what acceptable MIN/MAX levels are. Target completion date, March 31, 2018.

The following Critical Control Limits ( CCL' s) deviations do not include planned maintenance activities. Distribution free chlorine CCL- 0. 20 mg/ L— free chlorine residuals dropped below 0.20 mg/ L on some dead end water mains but not low enough to become adverse. Flushing as per CCL procedure rectified the situation. Problem areas include Oakview Crescent, Bostwick Rd, Sunset Rd north, Sparta Line, Ferguson Line and Fruit Ridge/ Centennial Rd area. Presently, Carlow Road near the construction a project by the Legion has to be flushed regularly as well. Primary disinfection free chlorine CCL- 0.40 mg/ L— Primary disinfection is only done at the Belmont WTP. There were not any deviations from the primary disinfection CCL. Deviations Distribution system pressure CCL- various limits depending on location.— There from Critical were no unplanned deviations from CCL for system pressure. Control Water Tower level CCL' s. Limits and Belmont Tower Level CCL- 5. 0 meters— no unplanned deviations below this level. Response Port Stanley Tower Level CCL- 3. 85 meters.—no unplanned deviations. The ongoing Actions issue of the ability of the Regional Water Supply Authority to effectively fill the Port Stanley Water Tower is being managed by the Regional Water Supply and Paul reported there have been no deviations recently. Paul also indicated that Regional Water Supply is taking the A pipe line out of service later this fall. This will result in issues related to filling the tower over the winter months. Paul suggested that an option to deal with this would be to move the Union connection to after the tower rather than before and boosting the fill line PRV' s.

New Action Item: Paul to email a sketch option to install a valve on East Road and connect Union to after the Port tower. Paul will also find out who the Regional Water Supply is using to engineer their work, so we can appoint an engineer to carry out a hydraulic study. Target completion date December 31, 2017.
