THE CITY OF SELKIRK Administrative Report

From: Faisal Anwar, Director of Sustainable Economic Development
Re: Selkirk Machine Works (1982) Ltd – Development Agreement
Date: January 5, 2015
File Number: AR 002/15
Issue:
To enter into a Development Agreement between the City of Selkirk and Selkirk Machine Works (1982) Ltd.
Strategic Impact:
1D Encouraging, Responsible Land Use, aligned with the Community’s Vision: Signing this agreement completes the condition of approval for the sale of the property.
Options/Alternatives:
1. The City enters into the Development Agreement as presented. 2. The City enters into the Development Agreement with changes. 3. The City does not enter into the Development Agreement.
Administrative Recommendation:
RECOMMENDED THAT Council of the City of Selkirk approve the Development Agreement between the City of Selkirk and Selkirk Machine Works (1982) Ltd.;
AND FURTHER THAT the Signing Authorities of the City of Selkirk be authorized to sign the Development Agreement.
Analysis:
The City was approached by Selkirk Machine Works, to purchase a property at 201 Queen Avenue, roll no. 92529, so that they could expand the storage capacity of their existing business. They own the property adjacent to it. This property could not be sold for any development purposes on its own, as the size is small and irregular.
This is a “standard” Development Agreement. Approving this Development Agreement is a condition of the Sale of the property, even though there will not be any “development” on the property. The Development Agreement does address if the property were to be developed, it would adhere to Schedule “D” – Sites and Services.
According to Schedule “D”, the developer, at its sole expense, shall be responsible to execute, carry out and implement the Site Services, Improvements and Conditions as per the City of Selkirk standards and specifications for site services and improvements. These conditions include but not limited to; drainage plan, landscaping, water and sewer connections, maintenance of the property, approach permit, and restoration of the City properties, i.e. sidewalks, roadways and boulevards damaged due to the construction of the developed area.
History:
Council passed the Resolution # 228/14, approving the Land Sale, and that the City of Selkirk enters into an Agreement to sell the property to Selkirk Machine Works (1982) Ltd. for the price of $1,500.
The Sale was approved, subject to number of conditions, and one of those conditions was entering into a Development Agreement.
There was some delay in getting a signed development agreement from the developer. This delay was partly due to fees that would be involved to complete the Sale, i.e. consolidation, legal fees, etc. The developer was unsure if they wanted to pay for fees that would ultimately be twice as much as the sale price of the property. Recently, the developer chose to move forward with the purchase of the property.
Administration received the signed agreements on December 12, 2014.

Re: Pawed Pals Animal Rescue (PPAR) request for Council appointment to their Citizens Committee
Date: January 5, 2015
File Number: AR 003/15
Issue:
Council member appointment to a Citizens Committee for the purpose of providing animal control services in the City of Selkirk and surrounding area.
Strategic Impact:
4C Continued improvements in efficiency and convenience: Partnering with PPAR may provide an enhanced level of animal control services within the City of Selkirk and surrounding area.
Options/Alternatives:
1. Council appoint a representative to the Citizens Committee 2. Council decline the request for a member of Council to the Citizens Committee 3. Council decline the request for a member of Council to the Citizens Committee and direct Pawed Pals Animal Rescue to meet with Administration to explore potential options for improvement to the provision of existing animal services 4. Receive the delegation presentation as information.
Recommendation:
RECOMMENDED THAT Council of the City of Selkirk decline the request for a Council representative to sit as a representative on the Community Committee; and
FURTHER THAT Pawed Pals Animal Rescue be directed to meet with Administration to explore potential options for enhanced animal service in the City of Selkirk.
Analysis:
The By-law Enforcement Officers administer the City of Selkirk Animal Control By-law. Currently when the City captures domesticated animals (cats and dogs) they are first held in our retention compound and we attempt to contact the owners (if there are any identifiers on the animal) or wait for an owner to contact us when they notice the animal missing (when they don’t have identifiers).
If an animal cannot be reconnected with the owner, or if the owner is unwilling to take responsibility for the animal, we work with the Winnipeg Humane Society and Winnipeg Pet Rescue to take the animal for the purposes of adoption after 4 days of being held in our facility. Only animals that have severe health problems or are feral are euthanized. We have developed strong relationships with these two organizations and generally have no problem finding homes for the abandoned animals from the City of Selkirk.
Our current service is delivered by our by-law enforcement officers who have received training to appropriately capture and care for stray animals. Our current facility has been outfitted with kennels and other animal-care equipment provided by Winnipeg Pet Rescue. Our animal control program is efficient, effective and compassionate.
The presentation to Council from Pawed Pals Animal Rescue spoke to a community-municipality partnership, a regional service centre; and integrated animal control/humane shelter services.
In articles in the local media, the Pawed Pals Pet Rescue proposes the municipalities in the Tri-S region get together to deal with the problem of homeless animals in the area. Ms. Blackburde is quoted to say “Our goal right now is to get some conversation going because there is no conversation”.
The provision of animal control services is an Administrative function. If the intention of the delegation is to enhance the current service provided by the City, the Pawed Pals Animal Rescue should be directed to meet with Administration to explore potential options for improvement.
The FIS reflects no financial impact as meeting with PPAR to discuss their ideas would be within the existing staff resources.
Option 1 is not recommended as exploring service delivery options is an Administrative function.
Option 2 is not recommended but may be considered as a major change to our animal control service is not on our tactical plan. Significant investment of human resources into this project may require the delay or cancelling of previously prioritized projects.
Option 3 is recommended by Administration. It provides an opportunity to have a frank, open and non-political discussion and to explore a range of potential improvements, service delivery and financial implications.
Option 4 is not recommended as Administration feels that given the specific request Council should provide a definitive decision to PPAR.
History:
On December 15th, Linda Blackburde, President, and Lisa Gower, Secretary - Pawed Pals Animal Rescue, appeared as a delegation before Council requesting at least one member of Council to be appointed to a proposed Citizen’s Committee to be struck with the purpose of creating humane, coordinated, cost-effective, and self-sustaining animal control/humane shelter services for the City of Selkirk and surrounding area.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER Bruce Mitchell “ADDRESSING IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES RELATED TO INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT”
Bruce Mitchell, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management, and was Associate Vice-President Academic then Associate Provost, Academic and Student Affairs, at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. His research interests focus on policy and governance related to natural resource and environmental management, with particu- lar attention on facilitating effective implementation of integrated water resources management. In addition to Cana- da, he has conducted research in Australia, Britain, China, India, Indonesia and Nigeria. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) was conceived to encourage attention to interrelationships between water and other natural resources, as well as to the links between water quantity and quality, surface and ground water, and upstream and downstream areas. IWRM also aims to ensure stakeholders can be engaged in related planning and management, and that collaboration and cooperation occur. The result should be more effec- tive, efficient and equitable outcomes, especially through avoiding siloed approaches by key organizations.

TOPIC OF THE MONTH
Pathways to Wellbeing – A Framework for Recreation in
Canada
Since 2011 provincial and territorial governments (except Quebec) and the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (including Recreation Connections Manitoba) have been working together to develop a National Framework for Recreation in Canada.
When the Framework is finalized in 2015 it will provide a new vision for recreation in Canada and suggest common ways of thinking about recreation and identify clear goals and values for delivery of public recreation services. The Framework invites leaders, practitioners, stakeholder and volunteers in a variety of sectors to work together on common priorities, while respecting the uniqueness of people and communities across Canada. Next Issue: Goals identified in the Framework include: February 2015 Active Living: to foster active living through physical recreation;
Inclusion and Access: to increase inclusion and access to Before printing this, recreation for populations that face constraints to participation; please consider the Connecting People and Nature: to help people connect to nature environment. through recreation;
Supportive Environments: to ensure the provision of supportive
physical and social environments that encourage participation in
recreation and help to build strong, caring communities;
Recreation Capacity: to ensure the continued growth and sustainability of the recreation field.
In November 2014, recreation leaders from across the country met in Toronto to endorse the Framework and begin a path towards implementation. Join the Manitobans who attended the November event at the session that will be held on the National Framework at the Recreation Connections conference in February 2015 or contact your local Recreation and Regional Services office to learn more about the Framework and how it will be relevant to you, your community and or your organization.
