Report No: 2021 – 10 MF Date: April 12, 2021 Submitted By: Michelle Feltz, Treasurer Subject: Transfer to Reserves and Reserve Funds for the 2020 fiscal year end Attachments: None Purpose (Information/Action): Information and Action
Purpose: To recommend to Council transfers to reserves and reserve funds rfo t he 2020 fiscal year end. Background: The following by-laws provide the administrative structure required to set up reserves and reserve funds: • By-law #2015-51 to establish a Federal Gas Tax Reserve Fund, • By-law #2015-52, to establish Reserves and Reserve Funds, • By-law #2015-53, to adopt a General Reserve and Reserve Fund Policy. This report recommends specific transfers to reserves and reserve funds for the 2020 fiscal year end as part of the audit process. Discussion: It is proposed that the following amounts be transferred to reserves and reserve funds as of December 31, 2020.
Grants:
2020 Budget 2020 Year End Opening Balance Transferred from Transfer to Closing Balance Reserve Name December 31, 2019 Funds Received in 2020 Reserves Reserves December 31, 2020 Grants AMO Federal Gas Tax $ 58,952.44 $ 14,258.03 $ (58,952.00) $ 14,258.03 $ 14,258.47 Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund-Formula $ 150,430.52 $ 50,000.00 $ (100,000.00) $ 50,000.00 $ 100,430.52 2019 MMAH Grant $ 230,573.96 $ - $ (45,000.00) $ 5,000.00 $ 190,573.96 2020 MMAH Service Delivery Review $ - $ 75,000.00 $ - $ 36,707.63 $ 36,707.63 2020 Safe Restart Phase 1 $ - $ 51,000.00 $ - $ 51,000.00 $ 51,000.00 2020 Safe Restart Phase 2 $ - $ 81,000.00 $ - $ 81,000.00 $ 81,000.00 Main Street Revitalization $ 30,468.00 $ - $ (30,468.00) $ - $ -
Page 1 of 3 Unexpended Capital – Capital projects were not completed or were under budget for some departments in 2020. It is recommended that the following amounts be transferred or retransferred to reserves as a result.
West Shoreline Mitigation Project-Engineering $ 31,058.00
Unexpended Operating Funds – Normally, unspent operating funds are allowed to lapse and become part of an overall surplus or deficit for the year in question. However, in exceptional circumstances Council may transfer all or part of a departmental surplus to reserves for these funds to be directed to departments or projects as originally intended. It is recommended that the following amounts be transferred. Shoreline-Resident Donation $ 1,000.00 Airport-Building and Lot Maintenance $ 18,000.00 Roads (Unspent Gravel & Dust Suppressant) $ 84,465.00 Fire Department $ 8,000.00 Tourism $ 11,422.00 Ferry Launch (reallocate to Tourism) $ 2,500.00 Policing $ 82,102.00
The amount for policing is the difference between the amount allocated by the Ministry to the Township of Pelee and the amount actually paid as directed by Council. This amount should be reserved as negotiations continue. Drainage –The amount of the drainage surplus (as of December 31, 2020): Big Marsh -$47,401.00 Curry Marsh -$67,877.12
The balance remains the same as that of December 31, 2019. Comments – As referenced in the January 5, 2015 reserve report to council, “The amounts in a reserve fund must be segregated and accounted for separately. Amounts in reserve funds do not need to be funded. At this stage in our financial position, these will be paper entries and the funds will be co-mingled with general municipal funds. As our financial situation improves over time, it will be possible to actually fund the reserves. Establishment of these reserves is one step towards proper funding of an asset management plan which will eventually reduce, if not eliminate, the need for excessive borrowing to meet the capital needs of the township.”
Page 2 of 3 Recommendations: 1. That the amounts noted in the discussion section of this report be transferred to the appropriate reserve or reserve fund. The reserve and reserve fund balances as at December 31, 2020 will be as follows: Federal Gas Tax Reserve Fund $ 14,258.47 OCIF-Formula Component Reserve Fund $100,430.52 MMAH Modernization $190,573.96 MMAH Modernization Service Delivery Review $ 36,707.63 Safe Restart Phase 1 and 2 $132,000.00 Drainage Reserve $115,278.12 Public Transportation $ 20,000.00 Police Services $353,017.55 Administrative $ 2,693.65 Tourism $ 13,922.00 Community Groups $ 23,373.17 $1,002,255.07 Capital Reserve Shoreline $ 32,058.00 East Park Campground $ 34,293.63 Transfer Station $ 31,178.04 Parks/Airport $ 73,147.89 Roads $269,765.00 Fire $ 41,000.00 Water $ 80,891.01 Capital Reserve Balance at December 31, 2020 $562,333.57

Dear Michelle,
Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island looks for unique stories and authentic experiences to share with what is normally millions of visitors that come to our region each year, though last year and this year are very different years for the entire industry.
Originally, we struggled with the timing and practicality of offering the Best of Windsor Essex Awards as an opportunity for locals to engage and support their local businesses. We decided to move forward as we soon realized this year it was more important than ever to feature local – and inspire locals to think about their favourite places to go and things to do. Our Windsor & Essex County residents responded favourably – as we saw an almost 60% increase in people nominating businesses – and an over 9% increase in votes (that means 13,700 people voted this year).
Operated as a targeted social media campaign, the 6th Annual Best of Windsor Essex Awards ran this past January through March giving people the opportunity to nominate or vote on their favourite places in all 41 awards at bestofwindsoressex.ca.
Although you did not win, we would like to congratulate you on being a top five finalist of our Best of Windsor Essex award Best Campground or Cottage.
As a finalist, you are also featured now as one of the ‘Best of Windsor Essex’ stops at bestofwindsoressex.ca.
Voting in many cases was very close and we hope you take great pride in being nominated a top finalist in this category. We would like to thank you for offering a quality visitor product/experience for visitors, and this year and last, for locals to enjoy.
If you have any additional questions on the Best of Windsor Essex please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned or Jason Toner, Director of Marketing & Communications at [email protected] or 519-253-3616 ext. 4329.
Thank you for your commitment to our industry and congratulations on being singled out as one of the best of the best in Windsor Essex!
Congratulations!

Honourable Steve Clark Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 17th Floor, 777 Bay Street Toronto ON M5G 2E5
Dear Mr. Clark:
This is to advise that City Council, at a meeting held on March 22, 2021, passed the following resolution regarding Planning Act Timelines:
“WHEREAS the City of Kitchener, like many Ontario municipalities, is experiencing significant growth; and,
WHEREAS the City of Kitchener has conducted extensive work through its Development Services Review to remove red tape and improve public engagement; and,
WHEREAS the Province of Ontario's Planning Act provides a legislative framework for processing development applications including established timeframes which permit applicants to appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal if a Council fails to make a decision within a prescribed timeline; and,
WHEREAS the passing of Bill 108 in 2019 reduced the timelines for processing development applications before they can be appealed to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal (LPAT) for a non-decision from those outlined in Bill 139, the Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 as follows:
• from seven months (210 days) to four months (120 days) for Official Plan amendments; • from five months (150 days) to three months (90 days) for Zoning By- law amendments; and • from six months (180 days) to four months (120 days) for Plans of Subdivision; and WHEREAS the shortened timeframes create unreasonable pressures on municipalities, even outside the context of navigating city business in a global pandemic, and result in reduced opportunities for meaningful public engagement and limited time for the public to provide written submissions on a development application;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Kitchener City Council urge the Province of Ontario to review and reconsider the current timelines established for review of Planning Act applications before an appeal is permitted to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal and to return to the timelines that were in effect under Bill 139, the Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017;
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, to the local MP’s and MPP’s, to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, to the Association of Municipalities Ontario, and all other municipalities in Ontario.”
Yours truly,

Regular Meeting of Council Agenda April 12, 2021 Item No. 9. e.
February 12, 2021
Subject: Request for Support for Delivering Community Power
Dear Municipal Leaders,
In 2016, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, with a coalition of allies, launched Delivering Community Power – a visionary program for Canada Post to confront climate change, promote better access to expanded services, bring financial inclusion to unbanked and underbanked communities, and address other social inequalities – all by making the most of our existing public postal service network.
Today, while progress has been made on many of the initiatives in the vision, the situation has become more urgent. Effects of climate change are deadly and are affecting nearly every part of society all around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the need for a more equal, more resilient society that prioritizes the health of our must vulnerable neighbours and loved ones, before profit. We are relying more than ever on the internet to connect people and to do our business, but rural residents are getting second-class service.
The continuing decline of letters combined with a dramatic rise in parcels from e-commerce makes it plain to see: the postal service has to adapt to a new reality. This is a great opportunity to address multiple problems at once, with a valued public infrastructure that connects everyone in their own community.
Please consider proposing the attached resolution to have your municipality endorse the campaign for expanded services, financial viability, climate action, and – all through leveraging our public postal system. The time is now!
Thank you for your support!

Dear Premier Ford, Re: Colour Coded Capacity Limits
At its meeting held on March 1, 2021, Sarnia City Council discussed the challenges local businesses are facing with respect to the colour coded system within the Province’s COVID-19 Response Framework. The following motion was adopted:
That Sarnia City Council strongly advocate to the Province of Ontario that they adjust the capacity limits for dining, restaurants, sporting and recreational facilities, places of worship, event centers, and all retail/small businesses as part of the colour coded system.
The following rationale was provided with the introduction of the motion:
The red zone currently only allows 10 people indoors at a dining or a sporting / recreational facility (regardless of the size), places of worship are capped at 30% or 50 people, and retail / small business is limited to a 50% capacity. These businesses and organizations have heavily invested in facility improvements and expensive upgrades to ensure safe social distancing and have all the appropriate safety and protection measures in place. Businesses in particular cannot properly plan under the current uncertainty and that means the loss of jobs and income for both workers and owners as well as mental health challenges.
Received by MARCH 22, 2021 COUNCIL Indoor capacity limits for restaurants, dining, sporting / recreational facilities, event centers, retail / small business, and places of worship should not involve arbitrary numbers (regardless of size), but instead be changed to the amount of people per facility which ensures that strict and safe social distancing can be maintained.
Sarnia City Council has requested that all municipalities in Ontario join this advocacy effort.
On behalf of Sarnia City Council, I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Amy Burkhart Acting City Clerk

TP Agreement – Shortened Page 11 of 14 SCHEDULE “C” PROJECT
The Municipal Fire Protection Grant has been established to provide critical support to municipalities in 2020-21 to offset costs and potential barriers for issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Such issues include access to training, and equipment or other critical upgrades that are needed at the local level to support virtual inspections.
Ontario’s fire departments vary in size and capacity and they all serve different communities that each present different levels of risk. There is a significant cost to ensure that every department has skilled first responders who are adequately trained and equipped to meet the needs of their community.
Funding could represent the difference in allowing fire departments to train more staff, purchase much needed equipment to allow them to adapt and respond to COVID-19 related risks in their communities in a way that ensures both community and personnel safety.
The use of the one-time 2020-21 Municipal Fire Protection Grant will focus on the needs of municipal fire departments to ensure community safety with a focus on issues that have presented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including:
• Training to offset the pressures in training as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. • Specialty training to respond to the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to ensure fire safety in their communities such as virtual inspections. • Small improvements to fire department infrastructure, such as accessing high speed internet to support training and virtual inspections.
The fire service has expressed concerns with training and fire code compliance since the start of the pandemic. Some of these concerns include critical inspections being delayed or impacted given the apprehension with entering premises. Similarly, training has been impacted given that fire services have been responding to challenges associated with the pandemic (staffing shortages, increased calls for service, etc.). Many departments continued training online as the Office of the Fire Marshal enhanced its online course availability at the start of the pandemic. This emergency COVID relief funding provides support for increased access to training, support for fire code compliance inspections through virtual inspections, and equipment or other critical upgrades that are needed at the local level to support community risks during the pandemic and the switch to virtual training and inspections.
