AND WHEREAS, training for a volunteer firefighter under the current model requires ongoing evening and weekend training during times that are compatible within the normal daily activities of individuals who have a strong commitment to their community;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services consider allowing for a longer period of time for implementation and completion of the required training;

THAT, the Council of the Corporation of Tay Valley Township requests the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to provide assistance with funding to help lessen the financial burden on rural volunteer based fire departments;

i) Otty Lake Side Road.

The Otty Lake Side Road project is anticipated to be under budget by approximately $900,000, split with Drummond/North Elmsley, making Tay Valley’s share approximately $450,000. The Township has applied to the Province for a scope change in order to use the $450,000 to complete additional road work in the area. Approval has not yet been granted.

Council discussed the possibility of proceeding with the work now while the machinery is in the area and the fees being charged are reasonable, and then if funding is not received, paying for it from reserves.

The Treasurer informed Council that any money currently in reserves has been set aside for next year to complete the work on the Christie Lake North Shore Road, there may not be enough funds to cover both projects.

Council decided to wait to hear about funding before spending the $450,000.

Page 39 of 106 ix) New Fire Safety Regulations under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 – attached, page 16. Greg Saunders, Fire Chief.

Recommendation to Council: “WHEREAS, Ontario Regulation 379/18, Firefighter Certification, requires mandatory certification for firefighters hired after July 1, 2019 and mandatory certification for new and existing firefighters in certain roles as of January 1, 2020;

AND WHEREAS, new firefighters, in order to become certified will be required to undertake approximately 300 hours of training within a two year period before they can even set foot at a scene;

AND WHEREAS, these requirements significantly increase the cost of training and put a financial strain on rural, volunteer based fire departments such as the Drummond/North Elmsley Tay Valley Fire Department;

AND WHEREAS, these requirements negatively impact recruitment by decreasing the ability for community members to join a volunteer based fire department such as the Drummond/North Elmsley Tay Valley Fire Department and decreases the retention of volunteers, thereby putting the fire department at risk for providing fire suppression and prevention services to the public;

AND WHEREAS, training for a volunteer firefighter under the current model requires ongoing evening and weekend training during times that are compatible within the normal daily activities of individuals who have a strong commitment to their community;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Council of Tay Valley Township requests the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services look at amending the requirement to complete the training within a two year period prior to being able to set foot at a scene;

THAT, the Council of Tay Valley Township requests the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to provide funding to help lessen the burden on rural volunteer based fire departments;

REPORT

COUNCIL August 14th, 2018

Report #C-2018-18 Amanda Mabo, Clerk

REQUEST TO CLOSE UNOPENED ROAD ALLOWANCE – MACNEIL PUBLIC MEETING

STAFF RECOMMENDATION(S)

“THAT, Council consider a by-law to stop up, close and sell 33 feet of the portion of the unopened road allowance (approximately 350 feet) between Concessions 7 & 8, Part Lot 4 Bathurst, geographically located south of Doran Road directly adjacent to the property located at 607 Doran Road, subject to receipt of the required survey.”

BACKGROUND

Committee and Council have considered a request to stop up, close and sell the portion of the unopened road allowance (approximately 350 feet) between Concessions 7 & 8, Part Lot 4 Bathurst geographically located south of Doran Road. A resolution was passed on May 15th, 2018 declaring the land surplus to the Township’s needs and agreeing to a purchase price of $0.03 per square foot, should the sale be finalized.

DISCUSSION

The purpose of this report and public meeting is to solicit public feedback regarding the proposed road closing.

Pursuant to the Road Closing and Sale Policy, public notice was posted on site and in the general vicinity of the portion of the unopened road allowance to be closed, mailed to the adjacent property owners, published in the newspaper, published on the Township website and Facebook page and provided publicly via the agenda for the Committee of the Whole Meeting on May 1st, 2018, with such notice offering an opportunity for any person to address concerns related to the closing.

Agency Comment

There were no objections from the agencies that were circulated.

Page 48 of 106

Adjacent Landowner Comment

A landowner in the vicinity submitted objections to the closure on July 6th – attached, page 3.

Another landowner in the vicinity submitted objections verbally on behalf of himself and his neighbour. They do not want access closed off as it was hinder access to their properties which are further down the unopened road allowance.

Options

Option #1 – Only Close 33 Feet of the Unopened Road Allowance In order to address the concerns raised by the adjacent landowners as well as consider the Applicant’s request it is recommended that only 33 feet of the unopened road allowance directly adjacent to the Applicant’s property be stopped up, closed and sold. The remaining 33 feet would allow the adjacent landowners access to their properties.

Option #2 – Do Nothing Not recommended. This option does not take the Applicant’s request into consideration.

Option #3 – Close All 66 Feet of the Unopened Road Allowance Not recommended. This option does not take into consideration the adjacent landowner concerns regarding access to their properties.

Next Steps Once the required survey has been received, Council can then proceed to pass a by-law to stop up, close and sell the portion of the unopened road allowance to the Applicants. The land will then be transferred upon payment of the required costs.

RE: Notice of intention of Tay Valley Township to enact a ByLaw to stop up, close and sell a portion of the unopened road allowance between Con 7 & Con 8 Part Lot 4 Bathurst, west of Doran Road

Dear Councillors,

A Council decision to sell the unopened road allowance would adversely affect our family as it would result in our not being able to access (effectively land-locking) a large portion of our property (the majority of 45 acres in C8 WPT L4 PT Lot 3) along the Doran Rd. This piece now has a large beaver pond that cuts off our access from the Doran Rd to one side of our property. We would therefore need to cross about 60 feet (along the beaver pond) of the property owned at Part Lot 4 Conc 7 & 8. The unopened road allowance always provided an alternative route into our property, when required.

All our rural property is under the Forest Management Program so we do need access in order to fulfil our land steward obligations.

As well, we have had a problem with a marijuana grow-op operation on this portion of our property. Local hunters and adjacent land owners keep us informed of this situation and the OPP have been notified. The OPP have requested that we continue to monitor and report on the situation. We have marked the grow-op area as “Private Property” but we have been told that new plants have been installed again this year. This is another reason why we need dependable access to our property.

For these reasons we sincerely hope that Council will retain the road allowance and keep it open.

Thank you, Donna Keays-Hockey & Les Hockey Bennett Lake

REPORT

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE May 1st, 2018

Report #C-2018-10 Amanda Mabo, Clerk

REQUEST TO CLOSE UNOPENED ROAD ALLOWANCE – MACNEIL

STAFF RECOMMENDATION(S)

“THAT, Council declares the portion of the unopened road allowance (approximately 350 feet) between Concessions 7 & 8, Part Lot 4 Bathurst, south of Doran Road, surplus to the Township’s needs;

THAT, Council agrees to proceed with the application to stop up, close and sell the said portion of the unopened road allowance as per the Road Closing and Sale Policy and call a Public Meeting;

THAT, the purchase price of $0.03 per square foot be accepted should the sale be finalized.”

BACKGROUND

A written request (attached) was received from Jay McNeil requesting the closure of the identified portion of the unopened road allowance.

DISCUSSION

The Clerk undertook a preliminary review.

The Applicant is requesting to close this section of the unopened road allowance in order increase the size of his lot.

The Planner and Public Works Department were also consulted and have no issues with this request. It would be very unlikely that a road would ever be constructed through this road allowance as it appears to be swamp land; the costs would be high and the chances of getting approvals from the conservation authority would be low. There is public road access for the lots affected by access from the east. Further access west is prevented by a wetland, therefore, properties to the west are unaffected by the road closing and remain landlocked with the potential for access via a north south unopened road allowance that would grant them access from the west if it were to be opened as a road.

Page 51 of 106

Staff recommends proceeding with closing the portion of the unopened road allowance requested as there are no Planning or Public Works concerns or future anticipated municipal uses.

The requestor will be required to pay all costs associated with the application, including purchase price, legal and advertising costs. A reference plan/survey will be undertaken by the Applicant that will include the closure. A purchase price of $0.03 per square foot is recommended.

REPORT

COUNCIL August 14th, 2018

Report # PW-2018-18 Sean Ervin, Public Works Technologist

OSIM BRIDGES & STRUCTURAL CULVERTS INSPECTIONS RFP AWARD

STAFF RECOMMENDATION(S)

It is recommended:

“THAT, the OSIM Bridges and Structural Culverts Inspections, Contract #2018-PW-011, be awarded to Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd.;

AND THAT, the Reeve and Clerk be authorized to sign the necessary documentation.”

BACKGROUND

All bridges and structural culverts (culverts with a span greater than 3.0 meters) within the Township are inspected on a biannual basis as per O. Reg 742/10, s. 2 which states:

“(3) The structural integrity, safety and condition of every bridge shall be determined through the performance of at least one inspection in every second calendar year under the direction of a professional engineer and in accordance with the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual.”

There are seventeen (17) bridges and six (6) structural culverts within the Township and all twenty three (23) structures will be inspected as per this Request for Proposal (RFP). The Consultant will review, conduct an inspection, take photographs of deficiencies and make recommendations of any additional inspections or maintenance work for each structure. Furthermore, the Consultant will provide recommendations for replacement/rehabilitation work, including estimated budget costs, to assist Township staff with updating the 10-year plan.

DISCUSSION

A RFP process for the OSIM Bridge and Structural Culvert Inspections was issued on July 13th, 2018. The RFP closed on Thursday, August 2nd at 1:00 p.m. and proposals from the following Engineering Companies were submitted:

Page 104 of 106

Company Proposal Price Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd. $6,497.50 HP Engineering Incorporated $5,507.50 Greer Galloway $8,850.00 Jewell Engineering Inc. $9,976.50 Harbourside Engineering Consultants $17,475.00 Golder Associates Ltd. $19,995.00 Remisz Consulting Engineering Ltd. $28,145.00

Each proposals written and financial component were evaluated separately. The written component was evaluated on the following, for the maximum of 70 points:  The firm’s qualifications and experience on similar projects;  The project teams experience;  Project understanding and approach;  Work plan, methodology and quality assurance plan; and,  Project schedule.

Staff have reviewed and evaluated all seven of the submissions and concluded that the proposal submitted by Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd. was the most thorough and scored the highest out of the seven (7) proposals that were submitted. Ainley has substantial experience with similar projects, a very experienced project team and considerable understanding for the scope of work that was outlined in the RFP. Their submitted work schedule was realistic and was reflective of their proposed work plan and methodology. Based upon these key points, Staff would recommend that Council award the Contract to Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The proposal price was also evaluated as per the following, for a maximum of 30 points:

Lowest Proposal Awarded Price Points = ( ) × MAX POINTS (30) Evaluated Proposal

The proposal submitted by Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd. was not the lowest bid. However, staff are confident that the price will reflect the level of service provided to the Township.

Staff allocated $50,000 to Various Bridge Analyses and Repairs in the 2018 Budget and therefore the costs associated to complete this work are well within budget.
