(a) Verbal report regarding the Port Burwell Secondary Water Supply System.
Councillor Southwick advised that he attended an orientation on the Port Burwell
Secondary Water Supply System which is nearing the end of its life cycle. He noted that
there is no contingency fund or plan for the system and that the rates would be increased
n2011 to $1.81 per cubic metre and to $1.99 n2012. Govenrment grants will be
necessary to cover the cost of replacing the waterline.
It was noted that the County is including the relocation of Dexter Line in its' 2011 budget
and is currently in the Environmental Assessment process. Costs to undertake shoreline
protection would exceed the costs for road and waterline relocation. There would be cost
savings if the waterline installation were to follow the road relocation rather than done at

by-law for their 3 Yz year old, 75 pound cougar, Karma which they intend to bring with them.
They showed pictures of the animal in their domestic setting and outlined details of pen, fencing,
tunnel from house to pen and monitoring precautions that are and would be taken as at their
current location in Brant County. The cougar has a 20 year life expectancy and all four paws
declawed. She is good with the couple's friends and has not been known to swat or nip anyone.
Reference information was provided.
With input from staff, Council will consider the request at the next Council meeting being held
February 3rd.

Subject: Water lnfrastructure Council Meeting on Feb. 3
I am requesting that I be added to the agenda for the Feb. 3 council meeting to discuss the Water
lnfrastructure Fees. I am the current owner of an apartment complex on32 & 36 Futon St. in Vierura
and need to discuss with council the $20,800.00 proposed Water Infrastructure Fees that currently I
would be charged. This was discussed with council approx 8 months ago and was told I would be
contacted and invited to a future council meeting to "Put this issue to bed".
Please have me added to the agenda.
Attached is the letter sent to Kyle Kruger and council 2 months ago.
Thanks,

To: Kyle Kruger & Council
Subject: Water lnfrastructure
It has been 6 months since I was at the last council meeting to discuss the "'Water Infrastructure
Renewal" rates. I was told I would be contacted and invited to a future council meeting to "Put this
issue to bed". It has been months with '1.{o" contact from council. Please contact me when this can be
discussed.
Below is the original letter that was sent to council:
I am the current owner of the apartment complex on32 & 36 Fulton St. in Vienna. After receiving the
information letter explaining the "Water Infrastructure Renewal" I was concerned with the bold text
stating, "Properties with multiple connections will receive multiple charges". To clariff this statement,
I made a phone call to Kyle Kruger .
I explained to Kyle that I was the owner of 16 apartments on 32&36 Fulton St. and was concerned with
the wording of the letter. His explanation was that if you have 16 apartments, you have 16 connections
and you will be billed at the approximate rate of $1,300.00 each. If this is the case, I will be billed
$20,800.00.
A bill of $20,800.00 in my opinion, is unreasonable and not affordable for a small business trying to
survive in Vienna. This property is NO different than any residential property, where there is only one
connection at the curb per building, NOT sixteen connections as explained by Kyle. If there were
sixteen different connections and increased labour and material from the contractor to complete sixteen
connections, I would then understand why I would be paying sixteen different fees.
What is the policy for muti-residential? What is the policy for Trailer Parks?
I am requesting council to review this proposed policy and billing to ensure fairness for all. There are
two buildings involved, and therefore there should ONLY be billed 2 connection fees. Please contact
me when you have reviewed this letter and if you need any clarification.
Thanks,þr;

Thoughts from E.D./CEO Bill Hett
Fau,/Wrnren z0t0lLt
What a terrific year we
have had! The MSC has
received some multi-year
funding and has been
awarded the contract for
EO service delivery. We
have been getting positive
reviews from clients and
families of clients about the
quality of care our staff are
providing in client homes.
In Adult Literacy we have
received comments from
several clients about how
we have helped them im-
prove their lives. And, im-
poftantly, our volunteer
base continues to grow.
We have welcomed some
new staff to our family andu = ê ê e e e â u o * we have said goodbye to
munÍty SeruÍces. Our joint
MSC/Stonebrid ge Socia I
Committee has been very
active and has enjoyed
some wonderful success
with their ventures, These
ventures include a major
financial contribution to the
local food bank and support
of our adopted family.
Our Board of Directors has
been both suppoftive and
dedicated, while embracing
the changes we are making.
As I too have delivered
Meals on Wheels, I have
met some great volunteers
and some very appreciative
clients who say most em-
phatically that we have
touched them and helped
them remain independent,
with dignity, in their own
homes.
Our partnerships have
once again brought us
the richness of character
and the added value of
associated efforts. At a
recent book launch,
where profits will sup-
port the literacy pro-
gram at MSC, the re-
wards of our paftner-
ships were most evi-
dent. There was busi-
ness, political, service
club, individual, volun-
teer and donor support
exposed for all to see.
We are all part of a ma-
jor transformation at
the MSC and I for one
am proud to be a part of
¡t.

The biggest news in this de-
partment was the awarding
of the Employment Ontario
contract to the MSC team in
January 2010. How this has
changed programming is de-
scribed on the website-
including testimonials from
individuals who have
achieved success using the
Second Career program.
Some of the team are now
located on the Second Floor
of the Town Centre Mall.
Others are in new roles, For
example, Christine Anderson
has transitioned from the Re-
source Centre Help Desk to
an intake role. Stacey Robin-
son has been providing work-
shops in the "Fast For-
ward" (alternate education)
program for youth. Several
staff attended the Futures
conference and many were
involved in the organization
of the Career Fair.
Clients continue to use vari-
ous ES programs to theír
benefit. Recently, staff were
missing a regular customer in

streams. The transformative
power that literacy has in the
lives of individuals, as well as
the important social connec-
tions, are reflected in both
the testimonials and stories
that have appeared in The
Tillsonburg News.
This depaÉment has ad-
justed its name slightly to
reflect the continuing empha-
sis on skill development.
Das Boot, To Kill a Mock-
ingbird, The Hobbit and
The Raven are some of the
books cited as having special
meaning by the most recent

were received training on two
consecutive weekends in Oc-

and orientation remains an
important task for the liter-

Giving & Volunteering: News & Profiles
The Food & Farce was a successful event for
many years, raising both funds and profile for
the literacy program. However, 2010 was the
last year for the *F & F" and the agency is tak-
ing some time to review fundraising strate-
gies. In ZOLO/LL, the focus has been on grant
applications, a refreshed donor campaign,
50/50 ticket sales, location of a new Nevada
host site and ongoing donor relations.
To that end, the MSC is hosting a Donor Re-
ception in December 2010 to both honor
MSC's many different types of donors and
launch the new donor campaign. A special
guest will be Lew Wiffen, author or The But-
ler's Son, who is generously donating pro-
ceeds from book sales to MSC.
MSC/Stonebridge Social Committee mem-
bers, besides organizing fun events like the
staff golf tournament in August and the Christ-
mas party, have also taken a leading role in
fundraising. The picture at right shows com-
mittee members, in December 2009, turning
over a significant toy donation to the Salvation
Army for distribution.
Like MSC donors, volunteers help keep MSC
programs working-by providing over 10,000
hours of service, equivalent to 6 full-time staff
members, in the zOOg/LO year. However,
there was some sadness mixed with cheer this
past year: while MSC was pleased to have
Staff News

the passing of Frank Welsh (see tribute on
our website) was a sad occasion-Frank had
served the MSC for over 30 years!
Frank was also one of many Ontario Vol-
unteer Service Award recipients nomi-
nated by MSC over the years. Check out the
website for the list of past nominees.
MSC has always taken Volunteer Recogni-
tion seriously -participating in the BBQ
hosted by The Livingston Centre during Vol-
unteer Week in April and hosting an addi-
tional MSC-specific event later in the Spring.
This past year, MSC was honored to have
Paralympian Darda Sales (thanks to support
from RBC) speak at this event.
Several MSC staff have mi-
grated to Stonebridge Gom-
munity Services over the
past year. They, as well as
some MSC staff membersr can
be found at the Stonebridge
location in the Town Centre
Mall. Best wishes!!
Several staff anniversaries
were recognized at the Annual
Meeting-congrats to all !

A Short History
The MSC was formed because
a group of community minded
citizens had concerns about
the lack of social services available
in Tillsonburg
The agency began operations in 1978,
at 185 Rolph Street, in a building
donated by Gerry Livingston
Prior to the MSC, many service
providers met with individuals on
a casual basis wherever they could find
space
Various services came into the MSC
over the years depending upon need
ln August 1998, the MSC moved into
The Livingston Centre, a building named after
Gerry Livingston, along with Fanshawe
College, Service Canada, Thames Valley District
School Board and Community Living
Tillsonburg
Mr. Livingston was well known
in the community for his business abilities
and his support of many causes (community
services, sports). He supported Canada's
Olympic male basketballteams in 1952 and
1960 and received Papal honours in 1962. He
died in 1988. For more history on Gerry
Livingston visit www.thelivinqstoncentre.com
The Livingston Centre provides a number of
community, health, education and social
services in one location - an important
goal of the original founders of the
Multi-Service Centre

Overview
The Lake Erie ecosystem is unique. lt is the shallowest and the most biologically
diverse of all the Great Lakes. The Lake Erie watershed is home to over 1 1 million
people, supports one of the largest freshwater fisheries in the world, and provides
many recYeational and tourism opportunities due to the presence of numerous
beaches and extensive wetland complexes. lt is sensitive to pressures from urban
and rural land uses, such as excessive nutrient inputs, habitat loss and degradation
and the introduction of non-native invasive species.
Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) participants continue to tackle the
challenge of managing this variable and sensitive ecosystem. This Annual Report
summarizes recent progress, as well as challenges and next steps for the future.
Highlights in this report include:
. A summary of a completed assessment on the Status of Nutrients in Lake Erie;
. An update on the development of a Binational Nutrient Management Strategy
that includes new nutrient targets for the lake;
. The challenges associated with implementing and achieving nutrient targets;
. An update on future plans to develop a Binational Biodiversity Conservation
Strategy for Lake Erie, and;
. An update on the achievement of significant milestones for two Lake Erie Areas
of Concern:Wheatley Harbour and the Maumee.
Although progress continues, there is still much work to be done. lf you would like
to know more, please visit the website al.www.binatìonal.net or use the contacts
listed on the back page. Ò
What is the LaMP?
Under the Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreement, the governments of
Canada and the United States agreed
"to restore and maintain the chemical,
physical, and biological integrity of
the waters of the Great Lakes Basin
Ecosystem'i
This is accomplished in part through
the development and implementation
of binational lakewide management
plans (LaMPs) for each lake. Lake
Erie LaMP participants identified
ecosystem goals and objectives and
assessed the state of lake. Through
the development of issue related
strateg¡es, it will identify actions
required to restore and protect the
lake and evaluate the effectiveness of
those actions.
The Lake Erie LaMP is coordinated
by a committee of water quality
natural resource managers from both
Canada and the United States, with
participation from federal, provincial,
state and localgovernments that have
a role in irnplenrentation.

LAKE ERIE LAKEWIDE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Annual Report 2010
Accomplishments
Assessing the Status of Nutrients in Lake Erie
Why do nutrients matter?
ln recent years, Lake Erie water quality has declined. Algal
blooms that threatened the Lake Erie ecosystem in the past
have returned. ln the 1970s and 1980s, collaborative efforts
to reduce phosphorus in Lake Erie by treat¡ng point source
discharges were successful and lake conditions improved.
However, in the mid 1990s problems resurfaced, but the
reasons for the resurgence of the algal blooms are much more
complex than in past decades.
What is the current situation?
To better understand the current nutr¡ent situation, the Lake
Erie Lakewide Management Plan team developed a Status of
Nutrients in the Lake Erie Basin Technical Reporf. The technical
report describes the status of nutrients in Lake Erie (as of
November 2008), identifies the potential sources and transport
mechanisms that move nutrients through the ecosystem
and defines the role of nutrients in increased algal growth.
Ongoing research will continue to fill knowledge gaps and
answer outstand¡ng questions. Ò
Challenges
Meeti ng Total Phosphorus Targets
Why set phosphorous targets?
Phosphorous is a nutrient essential to lake ecosystem health,
but in excess amounts it stimulates algal blooms like those
recently observed in Lake Erie.These algal blooms lead to
additional problems such as a potential to produce toxins,
declines in recreational enjoyment of the lake (including
beach closures), added costs to treat drinking water, and the
degradation of important fish and wildlife habitats.
Recently, the Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan
Committee assessed the science on nutrients and identified
targets to reduce phosphorus concentrations in surface water
in an attempt to decrease problem algal blooms in the lake.
Phosphorus targets were identified for four different habitat
types: tributaries, nearshore, coastal wetlands and offshore.
What are the challenges to achieving these targets?
Because Lake Erie is a complex ecosystem, there are challenges
to implementing and achieving lakewide targets and
phosphorous targets may not be immediately achieved in all
parts of the lake.
Some of the factors that make the implementation and
achievement of nutrients targets for Lake Erie diff cult include:
. Climate change and its potential impact on the lake's
hydrological processes, including warmer watet reduced
lake ice cover, increased severe storms and lower water
levels;
. The introduction of aquatic invasive species and their
affect on the way that nutrients are used or transported
through the food web;
. Shoreline modifications and their impact on how water ¡s
transported to the lake;
. The multiple partners managing the lake and their
differing mandates and regulatory frameworks;
. Lake Erie's three distinct basins, which causes differences
in how nutr¡ents behave within the lake, and;
. The threat of the large human population and intense
urban and rural development in increasing nutrient
inputs.
Despite these challenges, setting and working towards
nutr¡ent targets is important.They mark a goal that, when
reached, will lead to a sustainable ecosystem that supports
beneficial economic and social activities for society.
Taking Action to Manage Nutrients in Loke Erie
What is the Nutrient Management Strategy?
The Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan Committee
recognizes an urgent and immediate need for coordinated
nutrient management actions. As a result, a Lake Erie
Binational Nutrient Management Strategy is being drafted and
once completed, it will define the goals, objectives, targets,
indicators, priority watersheds, monitoring and research
needed to limit further eutrophication and improve current
conditions in Lake Erie.
Setting and achieving phosphorous targets w¡ll prevent excessive algal
blooms such as this one near Maumee Bay, Ohio in September 2008.

Partnerships: A key to success
Achieving the goals of the Lake Erie Binational Nutrient
Management Strotegy is an essential next step towards the
successful restorat¡on of Lake Erie. Partnerships will be critical
to the successful achievement of results and will require the
commitment and participation of federal, state and local
governments, non-government orga nizations, businesses,
landowners and local citizens, in both Canada and the United
States to work together and take action.
The community successfully faced the nutrients challenge
before, and with the same commitment, collaboration and
coordination, it can be done again. Ò
Next Steps
Developing a Binational Biodiversity Conservation
Strategy
What is biodiversity conservation?
Biodiversity conservation is the restoration and protection of
the diversity of plants and animal life and their habitats. lt is
essential to a healthy lake ecosystem.
To effectively conserve biodiversity in Lake Erie, a coordinated,
bínational, lakewide approach is needed to define and achieve
biodiversity targets.
The Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes
Basin Ecosystem (COA) requires binational biodiversity
conservation plans to be completed for four of the Great Lakes,
including Lake Erie.
What's being done?
Lakewide Management Plan participants in Canada and the
United States are collaborating with partners to develop a
coordinated Binational Biodiversity Conservation Strategy
for Lake Erie.This will involve compiling existing data and
information, identifying conservation targets and developing
recommended actions for restoration and protection.
Once completed, the Binational Biodiversity Conservation
Strategy will strengthen partnerships and recommend actions
that will contribute to conserving and restoring the biological
diversity of the Lake.
Coming Soon: Lake Erie Cooperative Science
and Monitoring Report
The Lake Erie LaMP team and participants depend on
comprehensive and timely science and monitoring
information in order to adapt policies and actions to restore
and protect the lake. ln 2009, scientists and researchers
conducted intensive fieldwork and data collection on Lake
Erie. lnitial results are scheduled to be available in 201 'l and
will be assessed in the 2013 LaMP.
lJ.S. Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the
Canado-Ontari o Agree m e nt
On October 30,2009, U.S. President Barack Obama provided
USS475 million for the Great Lakes Restoration lnit¡ative (GLRI).
ln addition to providing resources for U.S. FederalTask Force
partners, more than USS250 million is available for grants
and project agreements to jump-start Great Lakes restoration
efforts by states, tribes, local governments and not-for-profit
organizations.
ln Canada, the Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the
Great Lakes Bas¡n Ecosystem will continue to support objectives
of the Lake Erie LaMP. More information on the COA can be
fou nd at www.ec.g c.ca/g ra nd sl a cs- g reatl akes.

Milestones Reached in Two Areas of Concern
Under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the
governments of Canada and the United States comm¡tted
to develop Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) to restore
43 Areas of Concern (AOCs) in the Great Lakes region.
Progress is being made in all AOCs. Recently, two AOCs on
Lake Erie have reached significant milestones: Wheatley
Harbour in Canada and the Maumee in the United States.
Wheatley Harbour AOC delisted
ln Canada, Wheatley Harbour AOC has completed
restoration act¡ons and has been removed from the list
of Areas of Concern. Remedial actions were identified
and implemented to control and improve industrial
wastewater, agricultural runoff and other sources of
water pollution, Water quality in Wheatley Harbour and
Muddy Creek has improved significantly. There are no
new sources of polychlorinated biphenyl compounds
(PCBs) to the harbour. Levels of PCBs in sediments are
low and no longer pose a risk to local fish and wildlife.
Phosphorous and bacteria levels have declined, and fish
and wildlife populations are healthy.
Signiñcant sediment remediation in the Maumee AOC
ln the Maumee AOC nearToledo Ohio, work is underway
to remediate 265 000 cubic yards (202 607 cubic
metres) of contaminated sediment in Ottawa River
and Sibley Creek portions of the AoC. ln 2009, the U.5.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Ottawa River
Group began the Great Lakes Restoration lnitiative/
Legacy Act Ottawa River Cleanup. At a total cost of USS49
million, this is one of the largest single projects funded
through the Great Lakes Legacy Act and local cost share.
The project is expected to be completed by late 2010.
After completion, a long-term monitoring plan will be
implemented to measure its success.

Dear Mr. McKay,
The Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) at its regular meeting of
Januaryì 2th,2011
-considered a staff report (attached) prepared in response to a letter
received from the Township of Nonruich last summer. That letter requested that Norwich
Township and Brant County - both which currently share a joint member on LPRCA's
Board of Directors - each have their own representative. Brant County subsequently
sent a letter to both LPRCA and Oxford County endorsing that request.
The LPRCA Board has asked staff to request Oxford County Council, as the appointing
agency for the Nonruich/Brant representative, for any comments or questions regarding
tn'is mátter in order that LPRCA may deal with this matter having consulted all
appropriate stakeholders.
your consideration of this issue is greatly appreciated and LPRCA looks forward to your
response.

LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 2grh,2O1O
To: Chair and Members,
LPRCA Board of Directors
From: General Manager, LPRCA
Re: LPRCA Board Restructuring
File: 1.1.1
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the LPRCA Board of Directors strikes a subcommittee to review options for
restructuring the LPRCA Board membership; AND
THAT the subcommittee recommend to the Board the preferred option for its
consideration.
BACKGROUND
On July 13th of this year, the Township of Norwich passed a resolution requesting that
the Long Point Region Conservation Authority accept an appointed member from both
Nonrvich, as well as, Brant County for the upcoming term. Norwich representatives said
the request was based on the feeling that it was difficult for the current-shared
representative to fully serve two municipalities from two different counties. As well,
Norwich has identified a number of pressing watershed issues within their municipality
that they felt might be better addressed through a direct representative on the LPRGA
Board.
LPRCA last restructured its Board in 2000-2001 as a result of the elimination of the
former Regional Municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk. At that time, LPRCA's Board was
downsized from 14 representatives to its current allotment of ten. Reviewing LPRCA's
Board structure at this time makes sense as it has been a decade since the last review,
and Section 14.(2) of the Conservation Authorities Act calls for the adjustment in the
number of members should there be a change either in the participating municipalities
or the population of a participating municipality.
Determining Board MembershiP
The Conservation Authorities Act essentially outlines two different ways for a Board's
membershíp to be determined. The first is based on population. Section 14.(1) of the
Conseruation Authorities Act states:
Members of an authoritv shall be appointed by the respective co.uncils 9t the
öàîðipàino muñ¡Cipãliäeð iñ tñe ñümOers prrÁscribed by subsection 2 (2) for the
äppointmen-t of reprêsentatives. . .
Those representatives are appointed in the following numbers:

Attention: Council of Bayham
I have made a number of attempts to have the highway stakes along highway #1 9 and King Street identified
by Mr Husted; D-80? D-115? I still have not had a reply;
Councillor Southwick and Deputy Mayor Taylor did attend my property; and both can confirm that the one
stake which has been identified as the original highway stake is in alignment with the expansion markers to
the north; (ifthat is what they are);
Conclusion of course, is: there is no possible way the highway expansion stakes can line up with the
original marker; so, the original stake is incorrect as previously suspected;
Plcase send Mr. Husted a message describing this situation;
Thank you Mary E. Craig

Subject Fw: Ferry seryice Port Burwell to USA
Good Evening Mayor Ens and Gouncillors
I received calls from Port Burwell citizens telling me that my project of ferry to USA was
discussed in a positive manner at the last Bayham Gouncil meeting last week.
It was welcome news as by the end of this month, I was postponing any work on this
project which has cost us a bundle of money and grievances.
With the defunct Toronto/Rochester Venture, all the Newspapers negative articles and
results on the CPCS study, my Partners as well as our Financial Society (Based in London
On.) were skeptical on any future development in this venture taking into account that
most of local/regional population was on the impression that the CPCS study was
addressing our service as well which was not the case. Just to keep the financial side of
the project alive was a day to day challenge.
Adding to our worries, many newspapers articles/persons on both side of the
border were giving out the wrong informations in regard with our proposed service.
Taking into consideration the venue of a new attraction in Port Bunrell (Submarine), our
service would be beneficialto draw US tourists into the region.
With allthe past delays, misleading informations said on our project and the end cost of
this project at medium term $ 18.0Mus, my Partners as well as the Financial Society
assisting us would appreciate that Bayham Council re-affirm its willingness to work with
us and to the benefits of all Parties.
My Attorney prepared a draft letter (Resolution from Bayham Gouncil) which would "
Hopefully " keep our financial lnvestors interested in this project.

Money available to landowners
to protect drinking water sources
More than $800,000 will be available to help landowners protect municipal drinking water sources in four
watersheds, including the Grand River, under the Ontario Drinking Water Stewardship Program.
The Stewardship Program is a four-year commitment from the Ontario goveñ]ment to assist landowners,
businesses and municipalities to protect municipal drinking water sources.
About $7 million is available across Ontario each year from the Ministry of the Environment. In 201I about
$802,000 will be sha¡ed by the Grand River, Long Point Region, Catfish Creek and Kettle Creek conservation
authorities. They make up the Lake Erie Source Protection Region.
Stafffrom municipalities in the four watersheds and the conservation authorities will identiff the properties that
will be offered the opportunity to participate in the program. Targetting specific properties will ensure money is
spent where it will have the greatest impact on protecting water quality.
The province launched the Stewa¡dship Program through the Clean Vy'ater Act. Under the Act, drinking water
source protection prograrns are being developed for each watershed in Onta¡io. The plans will identiff significant
tl¡eats to drinking water and spell out programs and policies to manage the threats or prevent new significant th¡eats
from developing.
The Stewardship Program helps landowners reduce the risk from signifrcant threats on their property.
The 201I phase of the Stewardship Program is called Early Response and will be in place in the spring. Early
Response will provide money to targeted properties near municipal wells and surface water intakes.
Early Response will provide money to help landowners:
o Reduce or manage road salt application
. Upgade or repair septic systems
¡ Develop farm nutrient management plans
o Install spill containment systems for fuel storage facilities
. Install fences and plant trees along streams to keep cattle out of the water
. Cap unused private wells or upgrade active wells which can provide a pathway for contaminants to
travel from the surface to the aquifer
The money will cover about 100 projects over the next year. The level of funding will depend on the type of
project undertaken.
The previous version of the Stewardship Program, called Early Actions, ran from 2007 to the end of 2010. More
than $1.8 million was given to landowners for more than 400 projects in the four watersheds of the Lake Erie
Region. It ran from 2007 to the end of 2010.
The task of developing thç source water protection plans for the four watersheds is scheduled to be complete in
2012.
The drafting of the Source Protection Plan is being guided by the Lake Erie Region Source Protection
Committee. It is made up of representatives of municipalities, farmers, businesses, Fi¡st Nations and residents. Much
of the technical work needed to develop the plan is being di¡ected by municipalities and conservation authorities.

Good Afternoon,
Attached please find a letter advising of the status of assessment reports being
prepared as mandated by the Clean Water Act. The assessment report is a
document that describes the local watershed and available water supplies,
identifies vulnerable areas where drinking water sources might face a risk of
contamination or depletion, assesses threats to drinking water within those
vulnerable areas, and provides the basis for the development of a source
protection plan. Many municipalities have been protecting their sources of
drinking water for decades, and for others, the assessment reports will give them
the information they need to do so. The information contained in the assessment
reports should be used to assist municipalities in making decisions, in areas such
as community planning, operations, and municipal service provision. Contact
information has also been provided to you to discuss these matters in greater
detail.
Sincerely,
lan Smith

RE:Update on Clean Water Act, 2006 -
Gompletion of assessment reports
I am pleased to provide you with an update on the status of assessment reports
being developed by local source protect¡on comm¡ttees under the Clean Water
Act, 2006 (the CWA or the Act). As part of the province's mult¡-barrier approach
to protecting drinking water, the CWA mandated that drinking water be protected
at source us¡ng a variety of tools, including us¡ng existing tools such as municipal
land use planning authorities. To assist municipalities to use these authorities,
the Act established locally driven, watershed based, source protection
committees to review and assess munic¡pal drinking water sources. The Act
mandated each source protection comm¡ttee to prepare three documents: a
terms of reference (to prepare an assessment report), an assessment report, and
a drinking water source protection plan to address threats to municipal drinking
water. Many municipalities currently have provis¡ons in their land use planning
documents to protect sources of drinking water, however for some municipalities;
this assessment would provide them with the information necessary to do so.
All 38 assessment reports have now been prepared by the local source
protection comm¡ttees. The assessment report is a document that describes the
local watershed and available water suppl¡es, identifies vulnerable areas where
drinking water sources might face a risk of contamination or depletion, assesses
threats to drinking water within those vulnerable areas, and provides the basis for
the development of a source protection plan. These documents have the ability
to impact municipal planning decisions.
As you know, the Planning Act requires that all decisions affecting land use
planning matters "be consistent with" the Provincial Policy Statement. Among
other policies, s.2.2.1of the Provincial Policy Statement (2005) directs that
planning authorities shall protect, improve, or restore the quality and quantity of
water by: implementing necessary restrictions on development and site alteration
to protect all municipal drinking water supplies and designated vulnerable areas.
Correspondence received January 19, 2011 from Ministry of the
Environment regarding "Update on Clean Water Act, 2006 -
Page 74 of 157

The vulnerable areas identified in assessment reports are considered
"designated vulnerable areas" under the PPS, 2005, as defined in accordance
with provincial standards under the C/ean Water Act, 2006. Decisions on
planning matters should consider information from the relevant local assessment
report, as each municipality has an obligation to protect its drinking water
sources in a manner that balances with other provincial interests.
The approval of assessment reports also means that a municipality may now use
its authorities under section 56 of the CWA; these new authorities were provided
to protect sources of drinking water through the use of interim risk management
plans. Generally speaking, section 56 allows a municipality or conservation
authority to negotiate and enforce risk management plans for specific threats
enabled by regulation 287107, to ensure that the threat ceases to be significant.
Effectively using these authorities can provide protection to drinking water
sources pending completion of a source protection plan. I strongly encourage
municipalities to review their options and understand the implications of section
56. Doing so will assist municipalities in participating in the source protection
planning process as well as in laying the foundation to implement these tools
once source protection plans are completed.
Assessment reports are subject to two periods of public review and comment
before being submitted to me for review and a decisionl. Currently, all of the
assessment reports have been submitted to me, and three reports have been
approved. The assessment reports I have approved are for the Kettle Creek,
Catfish Creek and Mattagami Region source protection areas, so that the
delineated vulnerable areas are final.
lf you or your staff would like to view these assessment reports, they can be
accessed through the Conservation Ontario website at http://www.conservation-
ontario.on.calsource_protection/otherswpreqionsindex.htm. The balance of the
assessment reports are anticipated to be approved over the next 6-12 months.
Guidance materials to assist with municipal implementation will also be made
available.
lf your municipality is within more than one source protection area, it will be
subject to more than one assessment report. This could result in part of a
municipality having an approved assessment report with the assessment
report(s) for the balance of the municipality awaiting approval. Your municipal
representatives on the source protection committee, or the committee's project
manager, can be contacted for the status of the assessment report in your area.
A list of project managers has been attached for your information.
Sincerely,
' Under section 17 of the Clean Water Act, 2006 the Director (delegated to Director at Source Protection Programs
Branch, MOE) makes a decision on submitted assessment reports - either to return the document for di¡ected
changes and resubmission or approval.

OPP WESTERN REGION COI\DUCTS COMMUNITY SIJRVEY
(LONDON, ON) - A Community Satisfaction Survey will soon be underway in Western
Region to solicit public opinions about the services the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
delivers at the detachment level to the communities it serves.
"The information we collect will be very useful to us as we try to improve services at
detachments throughout the Western Region. If you are contacted, please take the time to
provide us with this important feedback," says OPP Western Region Commander Ron
Gentle.
The Community Satisfaction Survey is a telephone survey that randomly selects members
of the public (16 years or older) who live in Western Region. The survey takes about five
to seven minutes to complete and is strictly voluntary. Those contacted and willing to
participate are. asked about issues such as community securit¡ perceptions of crime and
youth issues in the community, OPP presence in the community its service delivery and
even how the OPP investigates crime and enforces the law.
The information provided by those surveyed is being collected by a research consultant,
R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. that has been retained by the Ministry of Community
Safety and Correctional Services. The information is treated confidentially and the
names, telephone numbers, and addresses of those surveyed will not be included in the
survey results provided to the OPP.
The OPP has previously conducted detachment-level surveys in various communities
policed bythe OPP byusing volunteers makingphone calls from the detachments. This is
the first time the OPP will be using an independent consultant to conduct the surveys in
the'Western Region. The OPP will use the same consultant to conduct a Province-wide
survey at a higher level during the same period. No one from'Western Region will be
contacted to respond to both surveys.
Once the'Western Region survey is complete, the results will be used in the OPP's
Business Plans and Annual Reports (http ://www. opp. calecms/fi les/2 5 025 8 8 3 8. 6.pdÐ.
The information will be useful in helping the OPP set out goals and objectives to improve
on the diverse services it delivers to communities throughout Ontario.
The survey will be underway shortly after February l,20ll, and is expected to be
completed by the middle of March. The Ontario Provincial Police would like to thank
those who participate in the Survey to help the OPP in its vision ofl Safe Communities . .
. A Secure Ontario.

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Gerry LeMay, Manager Public Works
SUBJECT: Energy Audit-Municipal Equipment
DATE: February 3 ,2011
FILE: \Ot
NUMBER: PV/ 2011-01
Purpose
This report will advise Council of the long range plans regarding the Vehicle Replacement plans for
the future showing an implementation of Long Range plan to replace vehicles.
Background
The Municipality passed the Strategic Priorities Plan in 2008 with many projects for the Public
Works Department to delve into. One of these projects is to "Promote excellence in environmental
stewardship" regarding the Municipal Vehicles. In the past, vehicles have been past the life cycle
costing and these vehicles have been very difficult to repair for all concerned. The Public Works
Department is purchasing vehicles which would allow for automatic greasing system on vehicles as
well as automatic transmissions to save the costs of clutches in vehicles. V/e also have started a
system of rust proofing the vehicles yearly to save the wires and moving parts which are exposed as
the rust proohng allows for a lubrication of the moving parts and saves us the cost of replacement as
these moving parts will eventually break. We are also keeping one vehicle as a spare in the event one
of the other plows is in for service or other reasons. Even your best laid plans will go array and it is
best to ensure that you have some means of protecting the vehicular traffic in the municipality. Rust
proofing of the vehicles yearly will allow for a better trade in value of the vehicles at the end of its
life cycle.
Staff Comments
The Manager of Public Works indicates the cost to align the vehicles to have them safe and operable
through the year was very expensive in 2009 but as is evident in 2010 this cost is coming down and
as we replace the vehicles with newer more efficient vehicles the cost will reach a livable benchmark.
Replacement vehicles may be new or relatively new depending on the age and shape of the used
vehicle. The Municipality of Bayham will look into differing strategies regarding hybrid vehicles,
differing motors or ways to save fuel and make our vehicles last longer on a per basis of each vehicle.
Strategic Priorities Goal #7.1 (Promote excellence in environmental stewardship) subsection I we
have meet this parameter of the priorities with this By-Law ensure a standard system for the
Municipal equipment replacement and repair.

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYTIAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council DATE: February 3 ,2011
FROM: Gerry LeMay, Manager Public V/orks FILE: ToS
SUBJECT: Infrastructure Inspections NUMBER: PV/ 2011-02
& Preventative Maintenance Program
Purpose
This report will advise Council of the implementation of plans to inspect the infrastructure and
institute a preventative maintenance program within the Municipality of Bayham for the
infrastructure.
Background
The Municipality passed the Strategic Priorities Plan in 2008 with many projects for the Public
Works Department to delve into. One of these projects is to "Design and implement a plan for an
inspection and preventative maintenance program for the infrastructure". fn the past, infrastructure
has been treated as a repair when it breaks style leaving the Municipality open to some legal
concerns. The Public V/orks Department has addressed this concern with inspections throughout the
year to ensure our infrastructure is in excellent condition. W'e also have started a system of inspecting
not only culverts, bridges and road signs as is outlined under the changes to the Municipal Act but we
also inspect sidewalks and street lights. We may find a culvert which requires work and if the work is
imperative and must be completed in the fiscal year this will be brought to Council. What we have
found from our works to date is that the majority of the work we have done can be handled under the
current budget and we have improved several situations to date where culverts were a concem. Even
your best laid plans will go anay and it is best to ensure that you have some means of protecting the
vehicular traffic in the municipality. V/e do have, on occasion a culvert which has caused greater
concern since the inspection in the spring and they are addressed.
Staff Comments
The Manager of Public Works indicates the cost to align the infrastructure is very expensive
regarding bridge structures which are the next expense regarding the infrastructure which requires
work. Several bridges in the Municipality require extensive work within the next several years and
money should be placed away for this expenditure. The strategic plan for inspection of items shall be
as follows:
Culverts -annually and every 5 years with a snooper camera,
Roadways- annually for deformations and as specified by the Minimum Maintenance
standards for potholes, visibility obstructions, snow and ice,
Sidewalks -annually for deformations and as specified by the Minimum Maintenance
standards for pedestrians, signs shall be annually as specified by legislation,
Bridges shall be annually during the cleaning process and every two years as required by law
and to be inspected by an Engineer and
Street lights will be inspected annually.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council DATE: February 3 ,2011
FROM: Gerry LeMay, Manager Public Works FILE: -T,cta
SUBJECT: Driveway Policy NUMBER: PW 2011-03
Purpose
This report outlines a policy regarding the work to be done driveway entrances and driveways within
the road allowance within the Municipality of Bayham.
Background
To date no Policy or Procedure is present advising staff how to proceed with the repairs or means of
handling driveway entrances within the Municipality of Bayham. This report outlines a standard
means of handling inquiries regarding driveway entrances within the Municipalrty of Bayham.
Staff Comments
The Manager of Public Works has noted that driveways with the Municipality of Bayham have no set
policy as to repairs or installation of driveway entrances within the Municipality of Bayham. V/ith a
driveway policy we will advise the owner of the property that the driveway entrance is placed in at
the convenience of the homeowner and is placed on municipal property. Many Municipalities have a
split in the control of driveways with some taking the stand they are publicly owned and privately
maintained allowing the homeowner to place a material which may enhance his or her home and
other Municipalities have stated they will repair the driveway entrances but they require a certain
material such as asphalt or concrete be placed on the driveway apron by the homeowner when the
driveway is constructed or reconstructed. Personally I prefer the privately maintained publically
owned status as this gives the municipality some room to allow citizens to choose their style of
driveway at the roadway and saves the Municipalily a great deal of money on repairs to driveways
when the crews should be repairing the main roadways. Under the Strategic Priorities Goal #2
(Ensure reliable, well maintained and secure infrastructure) subsection 3 we have met this parameter
of the priorities with this By-Law ensure a standard system for the Municipal roadways.

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and Members of Council DATE: January 3O,20Ll
FROM: Gord Roesch FILE:
By-law Enforcement Officer
SUBJECT: Exotic Animals NUMBER: P2OLL-OO7
Purpose:
To Provide Council with information regarding harboring of exotic animals, specifically a
cougar, in Bayham.
Background:
Mr. Deming attended as a delegation at the January 20th, 2011 regular meeting of Council. He
requested an exemption from Bayham's Exotic Animal By-law. Mr. Weber and his family are
considering purchasing a property in Bayham and own a cougar. The cougar is the family pet.
Currently Bayham prohibits several types of exotic animals including cougars.
Council asked staffto gather information and give a report to Council at the February 3,zOLt
regular meeting of council.
Staff Comments:
Staff contacted several area municipalities including Brant, where Mr. Deming currently
resides. Bayham currently has By-law # 99-82 that prohibits exotic animals as defined in the
By-law. Cougars are on the list of exotic animals in Bayham.
Summary:
Aylmer - Has no By-law that specifically addresses exotic animals
West Elgin -Allfelidae except the domestic cat are prohibited anywhere in the municipality
Brant - All Felids are prohibited anywhere in the County of Brant unless in existence prior to
the By-law
Malahide - Exotic animals are prohibited
St.Thomas - Cougars are prohibited
Central Elgin - Exotic animals are prohibited, similar to Bayham a list of animals are classified
as exotic
Dutton Dunwich - No person shall keep an exotic animal within the municipality
Staff Report P2011-007 regarding "Exotic Animals".

Southwold - Had two incidents with a captive large cat. ln 2004 a large cat attack resulted in
serious injuries to a 10 year old boy and in 2010 owner of the same cat was killed while he was
feeding the animal. Southwold passed a By-Law in 2004 with legal advice that prohibited
exotic animals after the 10 year old boy was injured. That By-law was challenged by the owner
of the animals and the By-law was quashed by the court because of the process that was
followed. The owner of the large cats was subsequently killed in 2010 by his large cat.
Southwold now has a By-law that prohibits exotic animals as listed in a schedule unless they
were lawfully kept prior to the By-law being enacted. There has been no challenge to this By-
Law to date, however information that staff has is similar By-laws have been upheld elsewhere
in Ontario.
Currently Ontario is the only Province that does not license the owners of exotic animals. MPP
Dave Levac (Brant) introduced a Private Member Bill that would see the Minister of Natural
Resources have the power to regulate the ownership and acquisition of exotic wildlife by
private citizens. MPP Steve Peters supports the Province of Ontario taking the responsibility
and be the lead agency when regulating exotic animals.
By-Law Enforcement:
. Bayham's By-law prohibits exotic animals including cougars
o There is no process / licensing for exotic animals
o Should council grant the request for an exemption from the By-law, regulations should
be included. At this time staff has no advice in reference to what regulations should be
included with an exemption. This will take significant staff hours to research in order to
provide recommendations to Council.
Public lnput:
o Staff has not attempted to gain any public input at this time, however one citizen who
was aware of the request phoned the office and voiced his opposition to the
exemption.
OPTIONS:
1. Council not allow an exemption to By-Law 99-82
2. Council allow an exemption to By-law 99-82
3. Council allow an exemption to By-law 99-82 after staff research appropriate
regulations specific for the type of exotic animal in question

Council of the County of Elgin
450 Sunset Drive
St. Thomas, ON N5R 5V1
Dear Warden Dave Mennill and Members of County Council:
I am writing to you to brief you on our St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital's (STEGH's)
'Redefining the Future'project, and to make a request for your support as advocates.
Your advoóacy as political leaders in our community is critical to our efforts to obtain
government aþproval for this vital hospital rebuilding project that will secure the future of
óur hospital for the residents of the City of St. Thomas and Elgin County.
ln 1gg7, the Health Services Restructuring Commission (HSRC) identified that STEGH
would require 15 new inpatient beds and related outpatient mental health services when
the current regionalfacitity on Sunset Drive, operated by St. Joseph's Health Care is
closed. STEGH submitted a plan to the Ministry in 1998, which identified how we would
accommodate this much-needed and new service at our hospital.
ln 2002, we were asked to submit a full Master Plan/Master Program and identify all of
our priorities for capital redevelopment at our hospital. This submission again identified
mental health of course, but also our emergency room, surgical suites and ambulatory
care as priorities in dire need of redevelopment. At that time, London's plans for
building a new mental health facility (in London) were finally moving aheg!. Concerns
about tie local availability of a mental health service at STEGH, timed with the
completion of the new London facility in2014, began to surface. ln 2008, the Ministry
once again requested, and funded, a review our STEGH capital redevelopment
priorities.
This latest submission to the MOHLTC was made in July 2009, and addressed simiiar
priorities to those in 2002. However, one important addition includes enhancements to
ôur existing 1954 vintage facility, to separate patienVstaff/visitor traffic to improve safety
and infectión control, párticularly, in anticipation of a future SARS-like event in Ontario
hospitals. Our submiited expecied project cost is $106 million, which includes a $12'5
million share to be raised within our community, a requirement of all communities in
Ontario seeking hospital redevelopment.
Since the time of submission we have had numerous visits with officials in the MOHLTC
and the Ministry of lnfrastructure, as well as a meeting with the Minister of Health and
Long-Term Caie, Deb Matthews, and officials at St. Joseph's Health Care. MPP Steve
Petãrs has been supportive of this project and has been instrumental in assisting us in
Correspondence dated January 20, 2011 from County of Elgin
regarding "Capital Redevelopment Proposal St. Thomas Elgin
Page 120 of 157
scheduling meetings with government. We have been working tirelessly to ensure that
our hospital receives this important level of investment to renew its most critical
facilities. This investment will not only signal the long-term viability of this hospital to our
community (often raised as a concern in our community consultations), it will also
ensure that we can continue to effectively compete to retain and recruit healthcare
professionals who view modern facilities as an important career decision-making
criteria. I am sure that you are also well aware of the status of STEGH as a significant t
employer in our community and the importance of a healthy and vital local hospital to
local industry and business enterprises.
We have prepared a template letter (attached), and would invite you to personalize this
letter in the manner you deem appropriate (you may choose to do this as Elgin County
Council and/or with County Council endorsement and forr¡rarded to the municipalities for
their endorsement) Our request is that you send it, on behalf of our STEGH capital
redevelopment project, to Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, Deb Matthews.
Timing is critical, as we are aware that government has currently initiated decision-
making on projects to be included in their ten-year infrastructure plan.
Thank you for your consideration of this urgent request. Should you require any
additional information or assistance, I am at your service at your convenience through
the hospital at 519-631 -2020 exl2192 or email pcollins@stegh'on.ca'
Sincerely,
Paul Collins

Dear Minister:
I am writing to you to lend my support on behalf of my constituents in þ/ease enter your
appropriate constituency name) to the capital redevelopment project proposalfrom the St.
Thomas Elgin General Hospitalentitled, "Redefining the Future". Our local hospital is highly
valued in our community, primarily as a provider of excellent health care, but also as the third
largest employer in Elgin County and the City of St. Thomas.
The proposal submitted by St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital, if approved, will ensure that our
community maintains access to high quality inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and
that these services are provided with little interruption when the St. Joseph Health Care mental
health services construction project is completed in London,in2014. ln addition, it is clear to all
of our community that our current Emergency Department and operating room suites are
severely outdated and do not reflect the updated, modern facilities we see in hospitals around
us, such as; Strathroy, London, Stratford and the soon-to-be new hospital in Woodstock. ln
today's healthcare environment, modern facilities are vital to recruiting and retaining physicians,
nurses and other important healthcare talent.
Our community is proud of their hospital, as am l, and I am confident that we will raise the
community share required in support of this much needed capital redevelopment. St. Thomas
and Elgin County, as you know, have been hard hit in this economic downturn, and I know that
our citi2ens will deeply appreciate government investment that will signal confldence in the long-
term future of their community hospital.
Thank you for your consideration of this worthy project.
Sincerely,

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Denis Duguay, Treasurer
SUBJECT: Water & Sewer Rates
DATE: February 03,2011
FILE: F05.11
NUMBER: F2011-01
Purpose
This report is to recommend the 20ll water and wastewater rates and billing structure.
Background
The municipality has annually set its water and wastewater rates, typically in January/February
for the upcoming year. The local rates are based on established rates from the primary and
secondary water systøns for supply, and the draft departmental budget for Bayham for the
upcoming year. Additionally for 2011 rates, the updated Financial Plan for the water system,
produced by Watson and Associates in 2010 provides some guidance.
Staff Comments
'Wastewater Rates
The wastewater systøn continues to be good overall financial condition. Staff have not
identified anymajor concerns regarding the financial sustainability of the system.
In2}l0,wastewaterratesincreased4%o,andstaffrecommendsanincreaseof4Yofor20ll. V/e
anticþate increases of 4-5Yo for each of the next four years.
For additional information, staffhave reviewed the application of the monthly billing as it has
evolved over the years, and have attempted to clariff the application of the sewer rates to areas
of multiple connections (ie: mobile home/trailer parks). Commencing in 2071, it is the intent
to apply the monthly rates to each identified unit within mobile home parks (not seasonal
campgrounds), based on annual licensing information. The revised connection count will add
36 new units to the total. This results in a lYo reduction from the previously forecast 5%
increase for 2011.
It is recommended by staffthat a monthly rate of 541.67 be set îor 2011, an increase of $1.07
per month from 2010.
Water Rates
In the case of water rates, only approximately 26Yo of the water budget is within direct local
control. More than 60Yo is directly related to total water consumption from the primary and
secondary systems. The remainder is the reserve requirements as set out in the sustainability
report.
Lr previous years, studies anticipated a need for significant increases in the local rate ofup to
8% annually for several years. However, with the water infrastructure renewal program
Staff Report F2011-01 regarding Water & Sewer Rates.
File: F05.11

StaffReport -2-
F2011-0r
completed in 2010 þartially financed under the Build Canada Fund grant) a number of system
leaks were discovered and repaired. It is anticipated that our overall water consumption will be
reduced over the next year. Additionally, the capital expense forecast is now adjusted, as some
of those forecast items have now been completed sooner, and with financial assistance.
Further, the secondary system will also be seeing reduced water loss due to the location and
repairs of water leaks. This will reduce the amount of water loss within the system and reduce
the costs the municipality must bear for the water loss in the near future.
Secondary system rates however, are increasing between 10 and l2Yo each year. Also, the
municipality was successful in obtaining OSWAP funding to assist with operating costs and
received approval in the amount of $40,000 per year for four years, but this funding expires in
March,2012.
With the mentioned impacts considered, and in accordance with the financial forecast carried
out in 2010, rates should now increase by l0% for 20ll but should be less at2o/o for 2012, and
5o/o for 2013 with the expectation of the OSWAP funding agreement coming to a conclusion,
assuming the current rate structure.
In regard to that rate structure, questions have been raised regarding the current combination of
a flat monthly fee and a consumption charge. It should be noted that the current structure is
contemplated in the 2010 Financial Plan as well previous rate studies.
Current Rate Structure
Currentl¡ the municipality levies a flat monthly fee per serviced unit, and a consumption rate
for all water used. The flat fee is established based on the estimated system costs that are fixed
regardless of water flows. In other words, there are costs to maintain and operate the water
system that continue to be incurred regardless of the amount of water. For example, for a
seasonal residence, even though the unit may be vacant and no water used over the winter
period, there remains costs to maintain the water system over that period so that it is available
to provide water when required in the spring.
Similar to the wastewater system, staff have reviewed the application of the current rates as it
has evolved over the years. Due to the number of somewhat unique situations that exist for
multiple units properties, mobile home/trailer parks, campgrounds etc. (a number of which are
due to those being established prior to curent planning practices), staff have atternpted to
clarifr the application of monthly rates to those properties. Staff suggest proceeding in the
same fashion as with wastewater, where each unit on a property will be levied the base monthly
charge. Anyproperty owner with multiple units with water service would have the monthly fee
applied for every serviced unit. In the case of mobile homes/trailer parks, the monthly fee
would be applied for each serviced unit identified in annual licenses. Seasonal campgrounds
would continue to be based on one connection, as there are no serviced units. This refined
application would affect some multiple unit establishments (trailer parks, multi residences) and
see an increase of53 connections.
Although staff recommend a l0%o increase on the consumption rate, the flat fee can see a minor
increase in the cost utilizing this method, as it will be applied to a greater number of units. The
following is the recommended rates for 20Il (and forecast for future years) utilizing this rate
structure and application:

Consumption Charge Only
A different scenario that has been raised for consideration is the elimination of the base
monthly fee element for the maintenance costs, and implementing a consumption rate only.
The application of the rate is therefore very straightforward, based solely on metered
consumption. With no base monthly fee, the consumption rate would then need to be adjusted
to achieve the same revenue. The following is the resultant rate for 2011 (and forecast for
future years) utilizing this rate structure:
Comparison
For consideration, the following are some ex¿rmples of resultant billings utilizing the two rate
structures:

It would appear the tlpical residential family would see an increase in their water bills under a
full consumption rate. Consumers that would benefit from this method would be very low
water users and multiple units, trailer parks, and seasonal units.
Fire Hydrants
Another variable that has been raised is the use of fire hydrants during fire calls for residents
not on the water systøn. Residents outside of the water system may benefit from the use of
hydrants during emergencies, though this is likely very minor, as only several outlying hydrants
may be utilized by fire services. In regard to water consumed, the fire services are correctly
levied the costs of water consumed annually. As there are some maintenance costs associated
to the hydrants. Council could also consider a fixed amount to be dedicated on a yearlybasis to
fire services. An amount of $250.00 þlus consumption)! Altematively, a surcharge on the
consumption could be used, at arate of ll0%o, is suggested.
Given the expected relatively minor impacts, it is suggested that proposed water rates not be
adjusted even with this adjustment.
Conclusion
In reviewing all information, staff suggests that Council continue with the current rate
structure, with the adjustment of units charged and at the rates outlined earlier in this report
(see top ofpage 3). Staffalso suggests that council consider the lllYo surcharge to fire services
in cases where residents are not on the water system and require fire services. Draft By-law
No. 2011-0Ib attached to this report reflects those rates.

SUBJECT: Municipal Data Bridge Collection - Funding
DATE: February 3,2011
FILE: F05
NUMBERIF20ll-02
Purpose
This report is to recommend the approval of an application to the Ontario Good Road Association for
Municipal Bridge Data collection funding.
Background
In 2010, the MTO and OGRA entered into an agreement to provide support for municipal bridge
infrastructure. The province is providing funding to assist in the collection and reporting of data on
the extent and condition of their bridge structures. The Municipality can apply for matching funding
to a maximum of $5,000.00, to assist with the cost of collecting, collating, compiling, formatting, and
inputting bridge asset and condition data into Municipal DataWorks (MDW). The funding may be
used for additional staffand/or consulting services.
Staff Comments
In order to obtain the assistance, OGRA requires a letter of commitment from the Municipality, that it
will submit asset and condition data for inclusion into MDV/ by March 31, 2011. All eligible
expenses must be submitted by February 28,2011. Staff have reviewed the application and do not see
any concerns.
Pursuant to the Municipal Act, each municipality must complete an engineered bridge analysis bi-
annually. For Bayham, this report is required in2}Il. The Municipality obtained an estimate to carry
out such work and gather all required information for MDW from Spriet and Associates in the amount
of $7,000.00. Under this application the municipality would then be responsible for 50Yo of the cost,
which in this case is $3,500.00.
Recommendation
THAT staff be authorized to proceed with the Bridge Analysis project in accordance with the estimate
submitted by Spriet and Associates in the amount of $7,000 and to proceed with application to the
Ontario Good Roads Association for Municipal Bridge Data Collection.
AND THAT Council proceed with the following resolution:
THAT the Council of the Municipality of Bayham hereby applies for funding for the purpose of
collecting, collating, compiling, and formatting bridge asset and condition data, and agrees to submit
bridge asset and condition data for inclusion in Municipal DataWorks by March 31,201I.

March, April, July and August.
In20l1 regular Ma¡ch Council meetings would normally be held on the 3'd and 17ú. March
break is the third week, which includes the 17ft. Since mernbers attending OGRA won't arrive
home until March 2"d andthere are five Thursdays in March, Council may choose to hold the
March meetings on the l}th and24ú.
This year the Easter weekend begins Friday Apnl22"4 which follows the regular meeting date
on April2l't. No changes are suggested for April.
July ltt Canada Day is on a Friday. No changes are suggested for July unless Council wants to
limit the July schedule to one regular meeting.
As the August civic weekend precedes the regular August 4ú meeting date it is suggested that
there be one regular meeting held on August I ltr. If Council prefers to hold two meetings in
August it is suggested the dates remain August 4 and 18. The agenda for the 4ü would be ready
on August 2"d.
.
In order for staff to arrange the necessary public meetings for planning or other purposes, it is
pertinent that Council confirm proposed adjustments to the regular meeting schedule by
resolution in a timelymanner.
Recommendation:
'úTIIAT the 2011 monthly Council meetings for March and August be held March l0 and24
