Report of Legislative Services

REPORT #: ADM 2013 14

DATE: June 10, 2013

TO: Mayor and Members of Council

SUBJECT: Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area

PREPARED BY: Rebecca Murphy, Director of Legal Services/Clerk

1. RECOMMENDATIONS:

That Council consider the following two motions by way of separate resolutions.

1. Whereas on May 25, 2013, the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury experienced severe flood damages from the breach of a protective dyke located on lands described as Part 1, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 2, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 3, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 7, Lot 18, Concession 7, Part 5, Broken Lot 18, Concession 7;

Now Therefore the council of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury hereby requests the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to declare the area within the municipality east of the CN Railway, west of the west branch of the Holland River, north of Concession 7 and south of Concession 8 a "disaster area" (private component) for the purposes of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP);

And further, should the Minister declare a disaster, that Council immediately, as required by ODRAP, appoint members to a disaster relief committee to administer the claims made under ODRAP.

2. Whereas on February 19, 2013 council authorized staff to proceed with preparing a petition under Section 4 of the Drainage Act for drainage works for the general area in which the Water Pollution Control Plant is situate;

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 17 of 65 Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area Page 2 of 8

And Whereas on May 25, 2013, the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury experienced severe flood damages from the breach of a protective dyke located on lands described as Part 1, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 2, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 3, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 7, Lot 18, Concession 7, Part 5, Broken Lot 18, Concession 7;

2. PREAMBLE:

On May 25, 2013, owners of lands described as Part 1, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 2, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 3, Lot 17, Concession 7, Part 7, Lot 18, Concession 7, Part 5, Broken Lot 18, Concession 7, experienced severe flood damages from the breach of a protective dyke. About 175 acres of land under agricultural production were damaged by flood waters and the deposition of large chunks of non-native soil materials carried by the flood waters.

The owners of the lands are seeking financial assistance to restore their lands to a state where they can once again be used for agricultural production.

Staff are also seeking direction with respect to conducting emergency works under the Drainage Act to correct structural problems associated with the protective dykes and related drains.

Thus, the purpose of this report is to seek Council direction regarding:

(i) declaration of a disaster area from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing under the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP); and (ii) declaration by the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs that an emergency exists with respect to the Horlings Dyke to enable emergency work to take place to reconstruct all or part of the dyke and associated drains.

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 18 of 65 Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area Page 3 of 8

3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER:

History of the Horlings Dyke

The Town of Bradford acquired property in three separate transactions in 1962, 1980 and 1982 from the Ontario Water Resources Commission, M.G. Lewis Limited and Hardee Farms International Ltd. that makes up the current property of the WPCP site.

In 1953, George Horlings and Victor Turner filed a petition with the Town of Bradford seeking the construction of a drainage works to reclaim a part of their property (south halves of Lots 17 and 18, Concession 7) for cultivation purposes. Their property was a marsh area lying at the time below the water elevation of the Schomberg [Holland] River. The Town authorized an Ontario Land Surveyor, Edward Cavell, to make an examination of the area to be drained and to prepare a report, plans, specifications and estimates of the drainage work and to make an assessment of the lands and roads liable to be assessed.

Council provisionally adopted By-law No. 917 to provide for drainage work known as the Horlings Drainage Works which consists of a series of berms and a pumphouse. The drainage works were completed in form satisfactory to the owners of the lands affected at a cost of $15,000 and so in 1955 the Town passed By-law No. 951 to debenture the $15,000.

Staff can find no evidence however that By-law No. 917 to establish the drainage works was ever finally enacted and thus the system is not considered a drainage works under the Drainage Act. Perhaps the owners were satisfied with the more limited scope of the drainage works. No assessments were ever levied to property owners in the area to pay for maintenance of the drainage works.

Since then the irrigation and drainage system has been maintained by the agricultural property owner or owners south of the WPCP. There is evidence that there was an agreement in 1982 between the owners to share the cost and expenses of maintaining the irrigation ditches, repairing and replacing and operating the pumping stations and equipment and maintaining the rights-of-way and various other matters.

That agreement has since expired and the Town is not aware of any other agreement in writing setting out the rights and responsibilities of the property owners. The Town is also not a party to any agreement although the Town has historically paid hydro costs for the Horlings pumping station. Staff are uncertain how agreement was reached on paying the hydro costs of the pumping station.

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 19 of 65 Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area Page 4 of 8

Recent Events

As Council is aware there was a breach of the dyke along the north perimeter on or about May 25, 2013 which resulted in the flooding of approximately 175 acres of agricultural land. The WPCP is otherwise protected and it is not immediately affected by the breach. There were four properties affected which are owned by three separate parties. The details of the breach and its impacts are summarized in the report of the Drainage Superintendant attached as Appendix A to this report.

Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP)

The Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP) is intended to assist those whose essential property has been extensively damaged as a result of a sudden, unexpected natural disaster such as a severe windstorm, tornado or flood. ODRAP contains: • Private component: Individuals, homeowners, farmers, small business enterprises and non-profit organizations. Funds are raised by the community and may be matched up to 2:1 by the province; • Public component: Financial assistance may be provided by the province to affected municipalities for disaster response and recovery.

The program provides financial assistance within the declared disaster area to restore damaged public infrastructure and/or private property to pre-disaster condition, when the cost of restoration exceeds the financial capacity of the affected individuals, municipality and community at large.

ODRAP is not intended to be an alternative or substitute for adequate insurance coverage, does not provide full costs recovery and is a program of last resort.

In the event of a natural disaster, individuals are expected to bear the initial responsibility for their losses. If the losses are so extensive that individuals cannot cope on their own, the municipality and the community at large are expected to provide support.

The private component of ODRAP is intended to provide the “necessities of life” to help those impacted by a natural disaster get back on their feet, when it is beyond the capacity of the municipality or community to assist.

Disaster Declaration

The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is authorized to declare a "disaster area" for the purposes of the ODRAP program. The municipal council asking for assistance under the ODRAP program must adopt a resolution outlining the following: • State the type of natural disaster and date of the event;

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 20 of 65 Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area Page 5 of 8

• Outline the municipality’s request for a disaster area for the public and/or private components of ODRAP; • Define clearly all areas damaged by the disaster and whether all, or a specified portion, of the municipality is to be declared a disaster area; and • Agree to establish a local disaster relief committee for the private component of ODRAP as soon as possible once the declaration of a disaster area is made by the Minister.

The request for a disaster area declaration must be submitted to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing by the municipality within 14 working days of the disaster.

In addition to the municipal council resolution, the affected municipality must submit a municipal disaster information report containing an estimate of private damage losses within 14 working days from the onset of the disaster. The municipal disaster information report assists the Minister to determine the appropriateness of ODRAP, as it describes the impact of the event including: • the number of private properties, farms, small businesses and non-profit organizations that have incurred damages as a result of the disaster; • the number of residents, small businesses or farms affected; • the number of damaged properties with insurance coverage; • the extent and the preliminary cost estimates of damages suffered; • newspaper clippings, photographs and other documentary evidence where available; and • any other information council feels is pertinent (e. g. Conservation Authority reports, etc.).

To determine whether a disaster has occurred, the Minister may consider the cause of the damages; the extent of the damages relative to the financial resources of the affected area; and the ability of the municipality to cope and fully recover. The municipality will be notified if a disaster declaration is made.

Disaster Relief Committee

When the Minister declares a disaster area which includes private damages, the municipality is required to establish a disaster relief committee to implement the program locally. All funds raised for victims of the disaster event are channeled to the disaster relief committee. The province may match funds up to a 2 to 1 ratio to settle the claims, up to 90 per cent of the estimated eligible amount. The purpose of the local disaster relief committee is to: • Raise funds for the benefit of disaster victims; and • Receive and settle the eligible claims of the victims as efficiently as possible.

Setting up the Committee

Municipal council should consider preparing a list of potential committee members in advance of the declaration or as early as possible, in order to ensure that the disaster

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 21 of 65 Breach of Horlings Dyke and Declaration of Disaster Area Page 6 of 8

relief committee can be activated expeditiously after a disaster area declaration by the Minister. The scope and nature of damages will help determine how many committee members are required.

The committee members cannot be members of council and should have no conflict of interest in the collection and distribution of funds. The committee should avoid selecting members who will likely be submitting claims for damages.

Operations of the Disaster Relief Committee

The disaster relief committee and its sub-committees, if any, act autonomously from municipal council, operating within provincial guidelines to raise funds and settle claims. The committee ensures that all claims are dealt with fairly and equitably. Depending on the severity of the disaster, the disaster relief committee may operate for a period of several months or for up to one year or more, in order to receive and settle all claims. Members of the disaster relief committee receive no remuneration. They can be reimbursed for expenses, however, such as travel to meetings.

Usually program administration, financial records and payments are made by a municipality upon the recommendation of the disaster relief committee. The program administration costs of the disaster relief committee are incremental to normal municipal administration activities, and are eligible for reimbursement from the Ministry. These costs could include: • A program manager to assist the disaster relief committee with day to day operations, fundraising and claim settlement; • An insurance adjuster to assist with reviewing claims; • Secretarial and other support staff fees, audit fees, stationary, printing, advertising and postage costs; • Rental of office space and furniture if necessary.

All administrative expenditures of the local disaster relief committee must be documented and kept separate from fundraising. No administrative costs are to be deducted by the disaster relief committee from the locally raised funds. All donations must be channeled directly to the disaster relief committee to be matched with provincial funds up to 2:1 and used for claim settlement.

Responsibilities of the Disaster Relief Committee

The responsibilities of the committee are as follows: 1. Appoint a chairperson and appropriate vice-chairs for sub-committees, where established; 2. Appoint a treasurer and a secretary, if one is required. The treasurer should not be a member of the committee but should be a municipal staff person or, depending on the scale of the emergency, a paid contract position; 3. Establish a disaster relief fund and bank account to receive donations;

4. Register as a charity with Revenue Canada to receive a charitable registration number, if not available through the municipality; 5. Solicit donations to the fund and organize fundraising activities; 6. Establish procedures for the receipt, appraisal, and settlement of claims for losses and damage; 7. Advise the municipality to issue advance payments in exceptional circumstances not exceeding 50 per cent of the estimated eligible payout; 8. Distribute claim forms; 9. Advertise the existence of the fund, availability of assistance, and terms on which assistance will be provided; 10. Appraise damage for claims less than $500 and, if necessary, hire professional adjuster(s) for claims greater than $500; 11. Approve payments in a consistent manner based on reports from the adjuster and/or program manager, and in accordance with ODRAP guidelines and the committee’s procedures; 12. Advise the municipality to make payments to claimants using the municipal financial system; 13. Hire auditors to review the activities of the fund and prepare an audit report; and 14. Submit an audited report to the regional Municipal Services Office for review and final payment of the provincial contribution.

Emergency Work under the Drainage Act

As Council is aware, staff and the property owners in the area have recommended that a petition be brought to bring this private drainage works under the provisions of the Drainage Act. The process to appoint an engineer, complete the report and finalize the drainage works may take several years.

Staff have made a preliminary assessment of the condition of the dykes affecting the agricultural lands and deem the dykes to be at high risk of failure. At this time, additional minor failures are occurring and are being repaired on an ad-hoc basis. Another major failure could occur at any time. It is the opinion of staff that the dyke scheme needs to be reconstructed in accordance with accepted engineering standards before works are undertaken to restore the damaged agricultural lands.

Under Section 124 of the Drainage Act, a Council may authorize emergency work under the Act before obtaining and adopting an engineer’s report, where the Minister declares that an emergency exists. The Drainage Superintendant has raised sufficient concerns regarding the continued stability of the dyke as a whole due to the breach and breaches that are occurring that he is recommending emergency work be undertaken.

Staff thus recommends that a request be made of the Minister to declare such an emergency in this area. If the Minister made such a declaration staff would present a report for council approval regarding the necessary emergency work that should be undertaken.

4. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:

4.1 CURRENT YEAR:

For the Town, there are some potential administrative, record keeping and accounting costs associated with the ODRAP program. These costs can likely be absorbed within the Town’s existing 2013 budget. If such is not the case, staff will report further to Council. Subject to the Minister’s approval, costs associated with physical works on the affected lands will be paid from private donations and Provincial grants.

Costs associated with works under the Drainage Act are unknown at this time, although could be very significant. The engineer appointed for the project will be responsible for developing a schedule which apportions costs to affected landowners. A significant urban portion of the Town may fall within the catchment area of the affected drainage works.

4.2 FUTURE YEARS:

REPORT OF THE HOLLAND MARSH DRAINAGE SYSTEM JOINT MUNICIPAL SERVICES BOARD

REPORT #: HMDSJMSB-2013-003 DATE: 07-06-13 SUBJECT: Horlings Dyke SUBMITTED BY: Frank Jonkman

1. RECOMMENDATION

That this report dated 07-06-13 be received for information.

2. PREAMBLE

On 25-05-13 several reports were received of a dyke breach in relation to the Horlings Drain which had immediate impact to the farming properties generally located to the north of Bridge Street and east of Dissette Street and in particular the following property descriptions: -Part 1, Lot 17, Concession 7 -Part 2, Lot 17, Concession 7 -Part 3, Lot 17, Concession 7 -Part 7, Lot 18, Concession 7 -Part 5, Broken Lot 18, Concession 7

3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER

A summary and description of historical events has been included in Report # ADM 2013 14.

Upon arrival at the property it was evident that a breach had occurred along the north dyke. Staff and members of the Holland Marsh Drainage System Joint Municipal Services Board were notified of the breach immediately and the supervisor for the WWTP was dispatched to review potential risk to the facility. Initial review indicated that the facility had not been compromised.

The contractor responsible for the HMDSCIP was contacted on behalf of the landowners and began to mobilize the appropriate equipment to assist in the immediate repairs required to stabilize the breach and control the flooding.

A survey of the dyke was then conducted to inspect the extent of damage and to prepare the correct plan of action. At this time it was determined that the dyke would require to be repaired from its north side and the contractor then mobilized additional equipment that would be required.

Report of Fire and Emergency Services - Request for Disaster... Page 25 of 65 Further reports were received on 01-06-13, indicating that several additional areas of concern had developed and once again the contractor attended the area and repaired the dyke.

Reports were also received on 05-06-13 that several more areas had begun to fail requiring the contractor to attend for further repairs. The equipment remains onsite, on stand-by.

Several inspections have been conducted in the area since the original breach and the concern is that the structural integrity of the dyke has been compromised and that there is an inherent risk that the dyke will continue to fail. An inspection and engineering review should be conducted to determine the extent and design of repairs to the area.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food has also been contacted to determine if repairs can be performed under Section 124 Authorization of Emergency Work, of the Drainage Act. At the time of this report, discussions are ongoing due to the historical complexity of the area and an update will be provided as details become available.

6. Service Presentation

Police Constable Rob Enwright advised the Board that he took over the School Resource Officer Program from Special Constable Les Bluestein, who retired in November, 2012. Constable Enwright provided an overview of this program which is dedicated to enabling proactive communication by building an informal rapport with Simcoe secondary school students who he feels are responding positively to his presence in the schools.

Constable Enwright reported that trust has been built between the student body and the South Simcoe Police Service, which has lead to arrests as a result of students reporting crimes. Based on this trust which has formed, Constable Enwright has been able to pass on intelligence gathered from students to the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) on occurrences such as bullying (cyber), sexting, theft, truancy, drugs and weapons.

Bradford West Gwillimbury/Innisfil Police Services Board Min... Page 40 of 65

In addition to the reporting and prevention of crime in the schools which have been achieved through this program, Constable Enwright provides career talks to secondary students in various classes, identifying the importance of subjects such as math, physics, English, and law (among others) which are required in performing the duties of a Police Officer. Constable Enwright provides a different perspective to students; i.e. the reality of the impacts of actions today in relation to a successful future including educational opportunities and career pathways.

Constable Enwright drew attention to the wide range of technology being used by students which can be used to inform authorities of criminal behavior. Recently weapons have been apprehended as well as a planned fight which was avoided due to the police presence at the school.

Principal Bebie of Holy Trinity Catholic School in Bradford West Gwillimbury reiterated the positive impact of the police-student liaison relationship, underlining the importance of data collection to the schools as they are accountable to stakeholders. Principal Bebie noted that suspensions in schools have decreased over the years through the involvement with police and such programs as COMPASS, as well as 20 other various local agencies. Positive changes have been observed including a good handle on drugs and other negative situations happening within secondary schools.

Principal Bebie noted that COMPASS assists in mental health issues which are seen in drug users. Principal Bebie emphasized the school community feels they can rely on Constable Enwright and other South Simcoe Police staff for support in any issues which arise.

Principal Bebie emphasized the importance of utilizing the resources provided by South Simcoe Police to educate students and parents on the ill-effects of sexting and bullying which are major issues facing teens that must be addressed.

Board Chair Boudreau thanked Constable Enwright for an excellent presentation.

7. Reports of the Chief of Police

Page 41 of 65 Police Chief Beazley clarified for board members that anyone can participate in “ride-alongs” provided they sign a waiver, pass a mini police-check, and take a cell phone in case they have to be dropped off due to an emergency call so that public safety is not endangered.

In response to a question with respect to the Motor Vehicle Collision Report, staff clarified it contains very general information and does not provide detail regarding the severity of accidents.

Staff reported a contest was held to name the new police dog for Grade 5 students; two finalists in the contest were from Cookstown Public School and the winning choice of name was from Goodfellow Public School; the new name being “Chase”.

In response to a question, the Chief advised there was a blitz held last year and another planned in May focusing on distracted drivers with special attention to personal data devices using marked and unmarked cars, masquerading spotters and weekly road safety messages.

Staff advised that over 200 applicants were reviewed for auxiliary police officer positions over a two-day period and 15 candidates are undergoing background checks conducted by Charlie Hicks. New hires will undergo 80 hours of training and it is anticipated there will be 10 new auxiliary officers by July, which will bring up the auxiliary complement to 30.

Staff reported that currently there are two special constables working with students in elementary schools.

The Chief reported he was pleased with the water rescue joint training session recently held with other emergency services and will ensure the Board receives media releases in advance of these types of valuable sessions.

Board Member Hicks noted that multi-disciplines are involved at ice water rescues and are not always recognized.

(iii) Communications Staff reported that the number of calls is down from 2012 statistics in 2013.

Bradford West Gwillimbury/Innisfil Police Services Board Min... Page 42 of 65
