My last request to council was to have Mr. Husted (the surveyor for this plan) uncover or mark the placement of the highway markers; Mr Husted did attend and markers were placed. I spoke to Mr Kruger and also Mr. Husted as clarification is needed; the original highway marker (D-80) was identified; I have asked for identification of the other orange stakes placed along the highway (D-80, D-115, D-87 ???) but have received no response; Aside from this I have a number of issues I would like to discuss. One of them being land transfer 393470 and plan reference LLR7274 found registered on land adjacent to the park in Vienna village and under the ownership of the Minístry of Transportation (attached); possibly staff could review these papers and better explain the content; The explanation by land registry staff was that the numerous highway maps attached to this registry entry describe amendments to the highway (Plank) ie where the highway actually is located - an ammendment registered in 2000; Secondly, application #Ê L3/05 (attached) a decision on a severance (land division committee) along highway #L9 adjacent to the Csinos property and Esthervílle cemetery; this severance contains a condition that a portion of this land is needed by the counÇ for "road widening"; a) the land described in this 2005 document is the same land that had already been expropriated in 1937 (with the exception of the land taken from the Csinos property) b) should the land division committee be advised of this oversight? C) has the County of Elgin made any other land purchases for "road widening" along highway #L9 (Plank) or only this stretch?

Most of it is common knowledge but seldom looked at or practiced here in Bayham. Climate change isn't the only massive, sweeping problem humanity faces right now; it's simply the very visual one that's currently getting the most environmental press. The companion issue, which we must tackle simultaneously, is humanity's ecological-footprint - the amount of resources we consume overall. One of the most worrisome of these fooþrint issues is peak_g¿!, the understanding that our planet contains a finite amount of oil and that we are currently burning into the second half of that planetary supply. Everything in our modern society, from transportation to food to water to health care, is completely dependent upon oil. We must wean ourselves offthe stuff, starting immediately. And because wind and solar and other renewables are nowhere near picking up the slack, green tech isn't going to "save" us. The only answer ís powerdown - decreasing our energy consumption overall and leaming to live within our ecological means. But oil isn't the only resource for which we are hitting 'þeak." We're also up against peak_ua.tural€ag, peak uranium. peak copper, peak fisheries, and much more. Richard Heinberg calls ít peak everything.In short, peak everlhing demands fundamental redesign of our societ¡ and one of the first steps means abandoning the fiction of expecting a "growth economy'' on a finite planet. Globalization is passé. North American opulent consumption is history. "Economic recovery" won't happen - nor should it, because it is inadvisable to get back on the road toward doom. Truly viable "solutions" must work for the full array of problems. "Solutions" for peak oil (i.e. coal) are unthinkable for global warming. "Solutions" which have been proposed for global warming (i.e. petroleum-intense ethanol, petroleum-dependent nuclear) won't work with limited oil. Massive-scale solar is unlikely amid economic contraction. When we consider peak oil I climate change I economic contractíon combined, we end up with a well-defined set of workable powerdown solutions. As George Monbiot wrote, "There simply is no substitute for cutting back." Whenever people begin to talk about radical change and "cutting back," someone cries "'What about the economy?" It is very important to remember: the economy exists within the environment, notthe other way back. The economy is simply how humans do transactions with each other. The environment is all that surrounds us, including city streets, fresh air, land and water resources, and our fellow human beings. It is functioning ecosystems - humaníty's life support system. The people who insist on "economy first" are denying humanity's interdependence with the ecosystems of the earth. They are undermining our life support system and our long-term survival in favor of current-day greed. David Holmgren points out that we have become a society of consumers, and must instead become producers once again. In this new world, that will mean producers of fresh, organic vegetables, grown right where the population centers are. It will mean rainwater harvesting and passive solar retrofittino and a panorama of functions surrounding "reuse." It will mean creating local economies and community-centric finances. These things aren't new news: when Time Magazine cites some of them as ideas for the next 10 years, you know that people already sense the inevitable. 7:40 p.m. - Mat Redsell - regarding "The Concept of Powerdown". Page 31 of 159 3. Plan for resilience. Make a great plan - an Energy Descent Action Plan: a clear, positive vision of what a lower-carbon, lower-consumption, post-petroleum future could hold, together with a roadmap of how to get from here to there. Communities around the world are beginning to create Energy Descent Action Plans (EDAPs). And they are marvelous to behold. Transition initiatives focus on increasing local resilience - the ability of the local community to flex and adapt to change. If our food supply line is thousands of miles from farm to table, fully fossil-fuel dependent the entire distance, we aren't very resilient when a gas shortage comes around or when petroleum prices skyrocket. If instead our food supply is grown locally in backyard or community garden plot, we stand a much better chance of maintaining food on the family table through such crises. And we stand a much better chance of avoiding food riots, civil unrest, and the worst of what peak oil might have in store, if our entire community is thus prepared. First and foremost, start changing your personal habits. Today. "Business as usual" simply is no longer an option, and hanging on to the fantasy may even impede progress. Even before your neighborhood has created its Energy decent plan, you know which way things are headed. Start shifting to local food, and powering-down your transportation habits, your energy consumption, and the overall amount of goods you use. Try urban chickens. Collect rain water. Hang your laundry out to dry.Leamhow to save seed from heirloom vegetables. Rabbi Arthur Waskow once wrote that we should regard this process with as a "constantly moving standard" by which we strive to be doing what is more respectful, less damaging to the earth than what we did last year. Become an example within your circle of friends and within your community. Encourage others to join you. Bring thern with you as you attend classes in breadbaking or pickling.

Instead, use the power of your network of friends to applaud the good things: "Oh wow, you set up your composting system!" Celebrate progress in the direction of the new future. Think ahead and transition your job as well. The jobs of the future aren't likely to be 9-to-5 paycheck- tlpe jobs at globalized corporations. They're much more likely to be local businesses, sole proprietorships, hands-on-craftsmanship, making the very real and tangible things we need for everyday living. Clothing, tools, building materials - the very things we've gleefully outsourced during this past 50 years of energy surplus - resilient communities will need local sources for all of these.

Page 36 of 159 EAST BEACH DRAINAGE PROJECT This project focuses on the drainage ditch area immediately to the east of the new washroom/change rooms on the East Beach in Port Burwell. The Otter Valley Naturalists (OVN) proposes to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the drainage ditch and thereby turning an eyesore into a community asset. Our project proposes to channel this drainage ditch that runs across the beach. We have been working on this project off and on for over a year now. We have had preliminary meeting with representatives from: The Ministry of Natural Resources, Long Point Region Conservation Authority, and in October we met with then Mayor Lynn Acre for advice on how to proceed. Following her advice we solicited and received letters of endorsement from the Otter Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Port Burwell Harbour Committee. Our proposal calls for the curving of the channel of the water and forming a shallow pond. The pond and water channel perimeter would be landscaped with natural plants and flowers. Things like, Cattails, Rose Mallow, Water lris, Red Cardinal flower, Blue Lobelia, and Blue Star gtass to name a few. The upper (or northern part of the area), a slightly elevated sand dune area, would be created with a few picnic tables. Native dune grasses would be planted to stabilize the dune and a few more large trees added for eventual shade. Hop shrub and other low, native dune community plants would also be added. 'Wooden slat snow-fencing would be utilized in an aesthetically pleasing way, much as it is in Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and the Carolinas. This would catch drifting sand and direct pedestrian traffic to a small very low foot bridge so they could cross the stream without getting wet. There would be a number of signs for interpreting the area, talking about the importance of ponds and pond life to water quality and biodiversity. We want to stress that the whole undertaking is focused around being aesthetically pleasing to the eye and offering another small passively educational venue for tourists and locals alike. It also offers an outreach venue for our nature club and other conservation organizations to advertise their web sites.

Page 38 of 159 Aol Subject: AMO breaking news re socialassistance reform TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL November 30, 2010 Government will make changes to welfare but Special Diet Allowance sfays for now On November 30, 2010, the Minister of Community and Social Services, the Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, announced the government's next steps in welfare reform. Of immediate note to municipalities, the government announced that it will not go ahead with its 2010 budget decision to eliminate the Special Diet Allowance and replace it with a nutritional supplement program for people with severe medical needs. The Special Diet Allowance (SDA) is a benefit available to people receiving Ontario Works (OW) and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). The SDA provides additional assistance - up to $250.00 per month - for people in receipt of OW and ODSP who require a special diet because of a medical condltion. To qualify for the SDA, recipients of OW and ODSP must have medical approval of the need for a prescribed diet. Municipalities contribute (in 2009-2010) 20% of the benefit paid to OW recipients. This is not the first time that the SDA has been reviewed. ln 2005 the government passed regulations that specified eligible medical conditions under the SDA. ln the past, medical practitioners had the discretion to recommend additional benefits for medical conditions. At the time of this change, all applicants had to reapply to for the SDA. The government's original decision communicated in the 2010 budget to replace the SDA was driven by a number of factors including concerns raised by the Auditor General and findings of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. In 2009, the Auditor General recommended greater oversight on compliance with required documentation for the SDA and specifically recommended that the government review the allowance with a "view to limiting its possible abuse." ln early 2010, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal ordered the Ministry of Community and Social Services to pay three lead complainants retroactive and ongoing benefits. The complaint brought forward was that changes to the SDA in 2005 violated the Human Rights Code. This was a significant decision as it resulted in the potential for the review o1200 pending complaints. Also today, the government announced a major review of social assistance. This review will be headed by the Honourable Frances Lankin, and Dr. Munir Sheikh Association of Municipalities of Ontario news release dated November 30, 2010 regarding "Government will make changes to Page 39 of 159 and will take place over 18 months (January 2O11 to June 2012). The review will focus on: . recommend ways to improve people's ability to find and keep jobs, and guarantee security for people who cannot work;o examine and determine the effectiveness of social assistance and its role in relation to other parts of Canada's income security system; and. define Ontario's position regarding the federal government's responsibility for Ontarians' income security. What Does this Mean for Municipalities? f n the 2010 budget, the government had committed to transitioning from the SDA to a nutritional supplement program for recipients of Ontario Works with severe medical needs. The program was to have been transitioned over a number of months and have been administered by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. While specific details of the transition to a new program were not available at the time, AMO was cautious in assuming this would result in savings to municipalities. What we do know, is that in 2009 and 2010, the cost of the SDA was approximately $98 million provincially, with municipalities contributing approximately $20 million to this cost. Today's government decision may impact municipalities who have removed the SDA costs in their budget planning for 2011. While the upload of Ontario Works benefits continues, municipalities will contribute 14% of the benefit costs in 2011. ln addition, SDA recipients will now be required to reapply for the allowance resulting in an administrative impact on municipal staff. lt will be important that the government commit to providing administrative funding. AMO recognizes the need to ensure that those in need of support because of medical conditions not be unfairly impacted by any provincial policy changes and has asked the government to consult with AMO and municipalities as they undertake changes to the special diet allowance and consider future changes to social assistance in Ontario. AMO will continue to monitor the government's progress and work with its members to communícate with the independent commission as it undertakes its review.

Changes to Board of Directors New members were appointed to the Board of Directors in 2010 as the terms of a number of sitting members ended. As the Mayor of Stratford, I was appointed to the Board in September as a Municipal representative and elected by the Board as Chair. Also newly appointed to the Board in 2010: . Debra Marshall, taxpayer representative from Prince Edward County; o Jim McDonell, Mayor of South Glengarry; and, o James 'Wilson, Chief Administrative Offrcer for the County of Haliburton. I would also like to thank the following Board members whose terms expired in 2010 for their commitment and hard work: o Former Chair Debbie Zimmerman, Councillor, Regional Municipality of Niagara, who completed her second three-year term in August; o Margaret Black, Mayor of the Township of King; and, o Lloyd Russell, Commissioner of Finance and Treasurer for York Region. MPAC is accountable to the public through a 15-member Board of Directors, appointed by the Ontario Minister of Finance.

In November, approximately one (l) million year-end Property Assessment Notices were mailed to property owners across the province to capture in- year changes. Property owners who receive a Notice from MPAC this fall, and believe it is incorrect, will have until March 31, 2011 to ask MPAC to reconsider their assessment. The next province-wide Assessment Update will take place in 2012. I would also like to provide you with an update on our implementation of the four-year assessment cycle and the phase-in of eligible assessment increases introduced by the Government, and some of the operational challenges it has presented the organization. MPAC's business processes have undergone a thorough review resulting in substantial changes to integrate the phase-in provisions into our systems and to include them on all assessment products. Even though this is not an Assessment Update year, every time a property undergoes a change due to new construction or changes in use, the phase-in values must be recalculated. As well, MPAC is now required to retroactively recalculate the phase-in values to adjust for decisions made by the Assessment Review Board on current and prior property tax years and issue an Advisory Notice of Assessment. As MPAC prepares for the 2012 province-wide Assessment Update and the next phase-in cycle, we will continue to make the necessary changes to our business processes and systems. Service Delivery I am pleased to report that MPAC has processed more than $28 billion in assessment growth for municipal tax rolls in 2010. The amount of growth added this year surpasses last year's total of nearly $25 billion and represents the addition of assessment from new construction taking place in the province. Earlier this year, MPAC assembled a cross-functional committee to review the assessment growth process and implement improvements to ensure the timely delivery of new growth. The Municipal Liaison Group - Assessment Growth Sub-Group includes representatives from 15 municipalities across Ontario. The objective of the committee is to develop a strategy to ensure growth is added in an accurate and timely manner across the province as well as to develop an assessment growth forecasting model to accurately calculate and measure growth estimates at the municipal level. This partnership has already helped to introduce improvements to our processes and we are committed to continuing our focus on adding timely and accurate assessment growth to municipal rolls in 2011.

Working wilh 12 municipal representatives, we have already identified improvements to our processes to ensure the timely delivery of reports to municipal staff. MPAC also remains committed to completing Requests for Reconsideration (RfR). As of October 27,2010, we have received over 36,000 RfRs, which represent 0.8% of Ontario's more than 4.7 million properties. This number is down from the 178,000 received in2009 following the province-wide Assessment Update. 'We continue to work with our property taxpayer customers to resolve these matters and answer questions or provide the information they need to understand their property's assessment. Municipal Enumeration Based on our discussions with the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) following the 2006 Municipal Enumeration, we made a number of improvements to our enumeration processes for 2010 including an increased focus on sharing information with municipalities and improving our Municipal Enumeration Form (MEF). In April and May, we mailed MEFs to approximately 2.4 million households across the province. The forms were sent to households where we needed to confirm or update occupant information in our database. The 2010 form was redesigned to make it easier to complete with a three-step process. Our website also offered detailed information including an interactive MEF and video presentation to help explain Enumeration and encourage the completion and return of forms to MPAC. Additionally, municipalities were provided detailed Enumeration information and updates throughout the year through Municipal ConnectrM, newsletters, meetings and regular correspondence. Our Municipal Relations group were also available at conferences and AMCTO election training sessions. We do continue to face challenges in obtaining the information we need to make further improvements to our Preliminary List of Electors (PLEs).

The realignment is being carried out within our current complement and budget. There is no reduction in service or staffing levels in any of our offrces located across the province - a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to providing property taxpayer customers and municipal stakeholders with local knowledge and expertise. It is important to note that this is not a restructuring of our entire organzalion. Rather, we are improving customer service and strengthening our local focus by aligning our business under two (2) core streams: Valuation and Customer Relations, Business Properties; and Valuation and Customer Relations, Residential and Farm Properties. Through realigning reporting structures and streamlining our business processes, a single staff member - someone with an understanding of both the local community and the properties contained within it - is now responsible for addressing a property taxpayer customer's assessment concems from start to finish. I would also like to confirm that the support MPAC provides to our municipal stakeholders has not changed in any way. Our team of Municipal Relations professionals continues to serve across the province as your dedicated resource. In addition, yow access to products and services specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of Municipal stakeholders remains as before. I believe this framework better positions us to provide our customers with outstanding customer service. It also offers more flexibility and adaptability, which will enable our organization to efhciently meet your evolving needs as we continue to work together to serve the property taxpayers of Ontario. Toronto Bank Tower Decision In October, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a Divisional Court decision affecting MPAC's approach to assessing commercial property. The decision involved assessment complaints filed for the 2007 and2002 property taxation years by o\ryners of six high-value downtown offtce complexes, known collectively as the Bank Towers. MPAC's approach was upheld by the Divisional Court. That decision has now been confirmed by the Ontario Court of Appeal. In closing, I look forward to working with my fellow Board members and senior executive team in the coming months to ensure that we continue to look for ways to improve our products and services. The success of many of our activities is due in large part to the hard work of our dedicated team of employees across Ontario. We look forward to their continued commitment to delivering property assessment excellence and outstanding service.

Of the many highlights this past season had to offer, I want to focus for a minute on the 2010 Elgin lnternational Plowing Match. I congratulate the many volunteers who pulled together to make this event successful and memorable, The Elgin Federation of Agriculture's (EFA) "Food For Four" display was particularly effective, and I'm sure that those who visited the display were left with a strong visual impression of just what it takes to feed a family for one year, spending 97929.24 on average. The success of EFA's display, the OFA's Foodville Display, and the Match in general, was all due to a group of volunteers who decided to make it happen. An inspiring thought indeed. lt makes you wonder what could be achieved if all the farming families of Elgin pulled together with a common goal. Looking ahead, the EFA Annual Meeting is scheduled for early December, where we will be electing our Board of Directors for the upcoming year. Why not come out and participate, or volunteer to become part of the EFA leadership. ln February the EFA Annual Awards Banquet will once again be held. For this event we are still looking for nominations for the Elgin Agricultural Hall of Fame. Details for nominations are found in this newsletter below, or can be obtained by contacting Roberta in the offìce. Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors I wish all the farming families of Elgin Season's Greetings and a prosperity in the New Year! Yours in agriculture, Ed Ketchabaw 5 Vo1 Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting of Elgin Federation of Agriculture (EFA)will be December 8, in the Elgin County Administration Building, 450 Sunset Drive, lower level. The meeting willbegin at 8:00 p.m. sharp.

Waste OilRecycling Day The Waste Oil Recycling day held on July 1Oth at Agris Co-operative in Dutton was a great success, We collected over 4955 litres of waste oil and 100 used oil filters and 205 litres of antifreeze.

File: M07 Page 61 of 159 20l0lPM Display This is the picture of the display which the Elgin Federation of Agriculture created to give a visual for people to see how much food is consumed by the average family of four in a year. ln 2009, the average Canadian family spent $7929.24 on their grocery bill. The farmer's share of this amount is only 25.260/o. ln 2009, February 12'n was "Food Freedom Day". This year it took the average Canadian until Feb. 12 to make enough money for their food for the rest of the year. (Canadian Census) This display was in the popular "Farmer's Market" of the Lifestyles area and provided a good visual to help people think about the quantity and quality of their food as well as local availability. The EFA thanks the Elgin Jr. Farmers for their assitance in creating this display. Annual Car-a-van Tour The Car-a-van tour was a great success. The weather was windy and rainy, but more than 160 people put on their boots and raincoats to visited our host farms.

File: M07 Page 62 of 159 National Food Strategy - Because Canadian Food Matters One of OFA's current lobby efforts is the National Food Strategy (NFS). The mission statement of the NFS is: Canada will be a leader in providing safe and nutritious food through a vibrant, competitive, responsive and sustainable farming, processing, distribution and sa/es secfor. The goal is for Canada to adopt the Strategy to ensure that the Canadian food system will support a sustainable farm sector well into the future. For complete details on this plan, see: www.nationalfoodstrategy.ca. The OFA's display at the Elgin- St. Thomas lnternational Plowing Match was built around this theme. Take a virtual tour of 'Foodville' at www,foodville.org. Provincial Policy Statement Review With the input of local Policy Advisory Council members, OFA is commenting on the update to Ontario's Provincial Policy Statement, incorporating opposition to aggregate extraction and asking that the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs take a more forceful role in designating Ag Specialty Land. United for Agricultural Sustainability - OASC The Ontario Agricultural Sustainability Coalition (OASC) continues to push government to accept their proposed Risk Management Programs. OASC's members have been lobbying the provincial and federal governments for predictable and sustainable safety net programming for Ontario's non-supply managed commodities since late last fall, lts recent impact study states $33 blllion as the value of the Ontario food processing sector, with 164,400 Ontario jobs supported through economic activity generated by the farming sector, Farm Livestock Predators OFA continues to press for increased protection from wildlife that prey upon livestock. ln response to this lobby The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and RuralAffairs has released its Managing Agriculture- Wildlife Conflicts Discussion paper. While OFA is pleased to see wildlife damage recognized as a key issue, the response to OMAFRA on this paper still includes a number of recommendations. Among many other recommendations, OFA is asking for updated compensation levels, a range of predator control tools and cost-share programs for predator fencing. Open for Buslness The OFA was chosen to provide input on the province's Open for Business consultations, This process is to help reform the 'red-tape' and over- regulation of doing business in Ontario, and ways to improve the system. Grassroots input from local Policy Advisory Council members has been received - the farm papers will be following its progress. Stray Voltage Despite new legislation which has reduced the allowable limit of stray voltage, some farmers continue to experience problems. What does stray voltage look like on the farm? Some possible symptoms:- Livestock reluctant to drink- Reduced productivity and anxious behavior- High somatic cell count in dairy animals- Unexplained livestock deaths lf you believe your farm is affected by stray voltage, the OFA would like to know so we can help you find solutions. We would like an accurate count of affected farms, so we can continue to lobby on this important issue. Please contact Janine Lunn for more information. Energy Resellers As a business owner you may be contacted from time to time to consider switching service providers. We contínue to hear reports of companies conducting door- to-door business, and pressure tactics to gain new clients. OFA's advice is not show salespeople your private billing information and do not make any commitments until you take time to research these companies carefully. Remember - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Member Benefits Enjoy the numerous advantages that come with your OFA membership.

The purpose and intent of the CIP is to outline a possible range of municipal actions designed to stimulate private investment, property maintenance and renewalwithin the defined area. Among matters to be considered are potential economic incentive programs such as grants to offset increased tax assessment resulting from rehabilitation, renovation and redevelopment of property; grants to offset general development costs; and grants to partially or completely offset permit and application fees.

With the assistance of previous programs, such as the former Ontario Downtown Revitalization Program, Commercial Area lmprovement Program (CAIP), the Ontario Neighbourhood lmprovement Program and the Ontario PRIDE funding program, the Town has undertaken a variety of projects aimed at redevelopment and rehabilitation of both commercialand residential neighbourhoods, including the upgrading of watermains, storm sewers and roads in the downtown area. More recently, the Town has adopted Community lmprovement Plans under Section 28 of the Plânning Act for the Downtown'area (September 2006) and an area located at the southerly end of Town along John Pound Road identified as the Tillsonburg Gateway area (April 2007). lrurnoouclot¡ It is the Town's intent to build on.itg previous community improvement initiatives through the adoption of a Community lmprovement Plan (ClP) for the industrial area located on the west side of the Town, along Hwy 3 and commonly referred to as the Van Norman lndustrial Area. The purpose of the Van Norman CIP is to provide a broader range of financlal tools to facilitate the revitalization and health of this industrial area. Feedback from recent public consultation and the policies of Town Council, as articulated through its Municipal Strategic Plan, Economic Strategy and the Official Plan, identify a diversified indushial base as a vital component of the Town's economic future. The vision for future industrial growth includes a variety of initiatives related to both prestige and traditional industrial uses (i.e. health care, networked or'clu'stered' industrial centres and more conventional forms of industrial operations). The importance of :industrial development within the Town is reflected in the objectiveÈ,containèd in the above-noted strategic documents, including initiatives such as purchase and servicing of industrial lands by the Town, supporting industrial development bÍ ensuring that adequate municipal services are available and utilizing public funding from municipal, provincial and federal programs to assist in community improvement initiatives. The Town's past community improvement efforts have involved both speciflc projects and comprehensive initiatives (i.e. Downtown Area CIP). The intent of the Van Norman lndustrial Area CIP is to provide financial incentives that will foster development and redevelopment in the immediate industrial area and provide a framework that may be used to initiate similar programs for other areas of the Town.

The following is a description of each of the financial incentive programs being offered,togetherwithassociatedimplementationdetails. A. Rehabititation, Renovation aìnd.Redevelopment Tax lncrement Grant Program: Development, redevelopment and rehabilitation qf lands within developed industrial areas is generally more difficult to'achieve due to higher land costs, potential demolition costs and the costs of retrofitting older buildings to meet current Building Code and Fire Code ¡equirements. To counteract this disincentive, the proposed grant program will provide for annual grants back'-to the land owner or assignee to offset the increase in taxes resulting from reasseésment due to þhysical improvement works occurring during the specific time period the program is in effect A,proþerty woulO noi be exempt from such increases where there is a general ,increase in the-tax rate;'where there is a tax ratio adjustment by the County of OXorC or wheré [he improvement works result in a change in tax classification. Thetax increment grant is only intended to rebate the local municipal tax increase which would occur as a result of building improvements resulting in increased assessiirent. However, the Town would welcome and encourage the implementation of similar progfams by other levels of government. The Town willdetermine the percentage of the taxes thatwillbe subjectto the grant program on a case-by-case basis and will offerflexibility to applicants with respect to the term and percentage of the taxes that will be rebated. Page 9 Correspondence received December 8, 2010 from Oxford County regarding "Tillsonburg Van Norman Industrial Area Page 87 of 159 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG VAN NORMAN INDUSTRIAL AREA COM ENT PLAN The details of these proposed grant programs are provided below: * Under the program, properties that are re-assessed as a result of renovation, rehabilitation, or redevelopmentwould be eligible to apply for a grant during a set period of time following approved work thatwould trigger a reassessment* lt is intended that the grant would be available on a once per properly basis and that itwould be transferable to a subsequent owner of the same property once approved. " At the time of building permit application the ownerwould provide the value of the rehabilitation/redevelopment work to be undertaken and the pre- construction taxes on the building or land shall.be noted and used as a benchmark or'base year' tax amount.* After completion of the project the property will be reassessed and taxes will be paid by the property owner in thg normal fashion. " The difference between the..ipre-construction' taxes and the 'post- construction' taxes (associated.rivith the improvement as opposed to any class change) will be calculated and,this.difference would be the portion eligible for a full or partialtax incrementgrant to the owner or assignee for the specific period of time the program is in effect. Grant applications approved near the end of the program will be permitted to be finalized according to the terms of the program.* The portion to be granted back only includes the increase in municipal taxes associatedwith the improvement. The portion of municipaltaxation levied for Education'and Upper Tier purposes will only be granted back where the level of govemment havlng jurisdiction has agreed to do so through appropriate means.* The amount of the tax increment equivalent grant will be equal to the 'difference between the municipal portion of the property tax prior to ,'j, . ?:niHßl:1ii:ff'?i,:i':li,'i:'ä:l:åi,i:iiliJ i, * . Tax increases that result from general reassessment, a change in tax ,'.'legislation or an increase in the applicable tax rate will not be considered for ..ttq purposes of calculating the grant. " The.annualgrantwill be provided to eligible property owners or assignees for up to a_ten year period on a declining basis.* A grant sèhedule will be incorporated within the required agreement setting out the annual grant to be received in each subsequent year.* Payment of the grant will be made once per year by the Town, subject to conditions and terms as defined in any agreement for development. The objectives and proposed grant rates relating to each of these categories of potential grant programs are outlined in more detail below. Page 10 Correspondence received December 8, 2010 from Oxford County regarding "Tillsonburg Van Norman Industrial Area Page 88 of 159 VAN NORMAN INDUSTRIAL AREA COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT It is intended that this category of tax increment grant program would apply fo resulting in an increase in assessment The purpose of the grant is to encourage and stimulate revitalization and re-use of existing buildings and property. The grant schedule for this program will be up to 100% of the increase in the municipal portion of the taxes in years one to five, decreasing to up to 55% in years six through ten. The specific combination of percentages and years will be detailed in each agreement with the property owner or assignee' B. General lncentives Grant Program: .,. The proposed general incentives grant program will provide'for a one-time grant back to the landowner or assignee to partiafly offset the cost of redevelopment or rehabilitation of existing buildings and:the redevelopment of vacant or under- developed sites within the CIP area. Agreements associated with this program will define eligibility for general grant incentivesr_sqch¡ as, but not limited to, contributions towards fencing, transformers, generators, lÍghting and parking lot improvements. C. Application and Permìt Fees Grant: This category of program applieb to rebatès to reduce or eliminate development application and permit fees to encourage new development, redevelopment and rehabilitation of lânds ahd. buildings in the Van Norman lndustrial Area. Many planning applications and building or change of use permits can be required for internal and external alterafions, renovátions, new construction and demolition. The elimination or reductionof such fêes through by the Town will serve as an incentive to -engou¡age investment. The owner or assignee will need to apply to Town Council fqr.full ôr parlial fee's r.eþate and Council will decide the merits of such rebates on a . .case-by-casé absessment. 7.3 Ptanlmptementation The þiógrams which may be established under the Van Norman lndustrial Area Communitylmp¡ovèment Plan will be implemented overten years, butTown Council may elect toexTênd the program for an additional period, or shorten the duration, where Couniil,deems it appropriate or necessary to do so. Town Council shall prepare and adopt a set of guidelines and procedures to establish specifics on how the various elements of the plan will be implemented. The guidelines will address such issues as the nature of the improvement projects that will be approved, the application and approval procedures, agreement requirements, and how decisions will be made regarding which projects receive approval. Page ll Correspondence received December 8, 2010 from Oxford County regarding "Tillsonburg Van Norman Industrial Area Page 89 of 159 TOWN OF TILLSONBURG VAN NORMAN INDUSTRIAL AREA COM The Town will conduct periodic reviews of the programs being implemented under the community improvement plan to determine their effectiveness and to determine whether modifications to the program should be made. Should Council decide the additional programs are to be added to this plan or to significantly increase the financial commitment to the programs, an amendment to the plan will be required. 8.0 SurulraRv The approval of this Community lmprovement Plan will provide an overall context for initiatives developed to foster industrial revitalization and rehabilitation. Such approval will also ensure that the implementation of the proposed grant incentive program is consistent with the legislative requirements of the Planning Act and Municioal Act. The intent of this Plan,is to ensure that the Town's initiatives regarding industrial development are integrated in,one document to'assure that community improvement is dealtwith in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.

November 30, 2010 Mayor Paul Ens MunicipalOffice 9344 Plank Road, Box 160 Straffordville ON NOJ 'lY0 c- 13 His Worship the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Members of Bayham Council I am writing to request that council instruct staff to return with options and costing for demolishing the dilapidated, abandoned garage on the main street of the village of Vienna and with costs to be included for the upcoming budget. As you are aware, this building has been empty for many years. lt is open to the elements, it provides a home for strays, a risk to exploring children, and drags down the property values for the entire village. As well, symbolically, it tells others that Vienna is a neglected, down-at-the' heels community and is an invitation to crime. Options should include removing any contaminated soil and turning the entire property over to green space and keeping the existing footprint of the building and paved areas as a parking lot for visitors. I appreciate there is a cost to removing the buílding. I also appreciate there is a process for funding from the province for brownfield remediation. But I submit to you there is a greater cost to waiting borne by commercial property owners unable to selltheir properties, residents of the village in homes with declining property values, Bayham as a whole as tax assessments eventually reflect declining property values, and the policing costs associated with crime and criminal activity. lf the province is unable or unwilling to provide the funding for brownfield remediation within a timely manner, then I would suggest it behooves councilto act unilaterally in the interests of public safety and finances.

The requirements are that the nominating organization be the organization for which the person volunteers and, that it be for a minimum of five years with that organization. That being the case, it appears that Stan Rushton is the only qualifier as he has volunteered for the municipality through involvement with the Edison events/fundraisers committees over the past number of years. The groups that the other volunteer award recipients are involved with have been contacted and advised that they can submit the nomination on behalf of their respective member. Unfortunately, staff are not aware that the winner of the Cttizen of the Year Award has been volunteering with any particular Bayham group or organrzation for the minimum five year term. The Harbourfront Committee was established in December 2009. As a result, only the one nominee appears to qualiff for nomination for the provincial award. Recommendation UTI{AT Stan Rushton be nomínøtedfor the Ontario Volunteer Servíce Award," Lynda Millard, Clerk Memorandum C2010-09 regarding "Volunteer Awards". File: M02 Page 135 of 159 Page 136 of 159 c'l CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Purpose This report is to recommend proceeding with a V/aste Recycling Strategy project and lntegrated Waste Management Plan, jointly with the Township of Malahide and Municipality of Central Elgin. Bacþround Municipalities across Ontario are being encotuaged to find measures to increase the efüciency and eflectiveness of waste recycling programs. Waste Diversion Ontario has identified best practices through its annual Municipal Data call, and the completion of Waste Recycling Strategies are part of those best practices. A Waste Recycling Strategy would assist the municipality in identifying our needs and goals and implementing future initiatives. Additionally, Municipalities without such a recycling strategy/plan will have their annual blue box funding from the WDO reduced. The Continuous Improvement Fund has developed soms resources for preparing these strategies, including funding. The CIF will provide funding to municipalities to complete V/aste Recycling Plans of 75o/oto a maximum of $15,000, or for joint plans 90% to a maximum of $45,000. ln September 2010, Council considered this issue, and approved proceeding with a Waste Management Plan in partnership with the Township of Malahide and the Municipality of Central Elgin. Funding for the waste recycling plan was secured through Waste Diversion Ontario's Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) atthe 90% level. StaffComments Staff from the three participating municipalities prepared an RFP document to complete the necessary research, public consultation, and development of a Waste Recycling Plan for the municipal blue box recycling program, covering the deliverables outlined by WDO for an acceptable strategy that would be eligible for funding. The RFP was forwarded to 5 Waste Recycling Planning consultants identified as acceptable by WDO. Three responses were received, one of which (R. J. Bumside & Assoc. Ltd.) responded to indicate that they were not in a position to submit an RFP. Compete submissions were received from the following: 2cg V/aste Management Consulting Services Inc. $21,950.00 Stantec Consulting $40,808.90 Both proponents satisfied the requirements of the RFP and CIF funding criteria. CIF requires each Municipality to have a 'base level' Waste Recycling Strategy suffrcient to meet the requirements of the WDO. Staff did identify through the process that there would be much more benefit to complete a more comprehensive waste management and recycling strategy. The Bid Evaluation Committee determined that if the 'base level' Waste Management Strategy could be enhanced, it would maximize the information available and ultimately assist the municipalities in completing an lntegrated Waste STAFF REPORT Mayor & Members of Council Kyle Kruger, Administrator Waste Recycling Strategy and Integrated V/aste Management Plan DATE: December 9,2010 FILE: Fll NUMBER: PW2010-17 .../ continued Staff Report PW2010-17 regarding "Waste Recycling Strategy and Integrated Waste Management Plan". Page 137 of 159 -2- Management Plan. Given the significant difference in the 2 proposal bids received, the Bid Evaluation Committee met with the principal of 2cgto review the proposal and to discuss possible appropriate enhancements. As a result, the Staff asked the low Bidder/consultant to identify additional work that could be completed to produce a much more detailed Waste Recycling Strategy, and that would still qualiff for funding under the CIF. The consultant did propose some additional work to leverage the Waste Recycling Strategy and to maximize the amount of information that it can contribute ultimately to an IWMP. The additional cost would be $22,900.00. This additional cost, added to the original proposal, results in a total cost to complete the enhanced Waste Recycling Strategy of $44,850.00 (plus applicable taxes). This amount would be eligible for 90Yo funding from CIF. It is envisioned that the more detailed Waste Recycling Strategy would be developed so that the remaining information required to complete an lntegrated Waste Management Plan could easily be appended to it. An Integrated'Waste Management Plan is a holistic approach to assess and decide on appropriate waste management options, for recycling, solid waste, waste electronics, municipal household hazardous waste, yard waste, and tires. This plan would be achieved by evaluating the environmental, social and economic factors and inte$ating them with municipal planning. This would be accomplished by assessing waste categories and trends, developing options, determining the best fit, and providing solutions for the future. The proposed work has extensive public consultation, including public and stakeholder workshops, public open houses, and online surveys. It is the public consultation that will assist in guiding the development of an IWMP. The main goal of an IWMP is to optimize waste management by maximizing efficiency, and minimizing associated environmental impacts and financial costs. As noted earlier, it is intended that the completion of the Waste Recycling Strategy as well as the IWMP will be a public process with numerous occasions for public input. As a result, the staffof the partnering municipalities are recommending a steering committee be struck with representation from each municipality. It has been recommended that each appoint two elected officials and two staff. The total revised price to complete an enhanced Waste Recycling Strategy is $44,850 (plus taxes). This total cost is eligible for CIF funding at 90Yo, leaving a cost of $ 1 ,495 for each of the three partner municipalities. As previously mentioned, the Waste Recycling Strategy deals only with blue box recycling, and does not address solid waste management. Additionally, the current waste collection contract expires in June 2011, and it would be beneficial to develop such an overall strategy prior to issuing any tenders. Therefore, staff are recommending that an Integrated Waste Management Plan be completed to develop a comprehensive strategy for all waste streams. The consultant (2cg) has advised that the cost to undertake the remainder of the work to complete an IWMP is approximately $15,000 (or $5,000 for each partner). This expense is not eligible for CIF funding. However, the purpose of the IWMP is to maximize effrciencies in waste management, and minimize costs. As such, a relatively small amount of waste diverted from landfill could more that offset the additional costs. While funding for the development of a Waste Recycling Plan was not specifically included in the 2010 budget, the costs for the 2010 HHW/Large Item day appear to be under budget. Therefore, it is anticipated that the full costs ($6,500) for these Plans can be accommodated within the 2010 Waste Management budget.

Background The Municipality has purchased its insurance needs through Jardine Lloyd Thompson since 2006. Previous to 2006, insurance had been with Frank Cowan Company Limited for a number of years. For the 2011 program, Jardine has provided a renewal with a premium of $105,744 plus applicable taxes. This represents a decrease of $1,421 (-1.3%) from 2010. The 2010 increase was l.I%. Jardine has also provided several options for program enhancements with applicable premium increases should Council be interested. A number of components are quoted with terms to remain as indicated subject to no claims deterioration as of January l,20lI. Staff Comments Insurance limits and deductibles remain consistent with the 2010 insurance program, with a couple changes only, the most significant being: . Under Combined Physical Damage & Machinery Breakdown, the Blanket Limit is $ 21,456,393, which resulted from the 4Yo inflationary increase on the building and equipmenlcontents values. . Council Liability Policy - definition extended as follows: "Insured means" and "Persons means" - extended to include Committee of Council as defined in the Municipal Act and Public Library Board as passed under Municipal by-law as well as adding Volunteer Fire Fighters Association . Conflict of Interest and Legal Expense Reimbursement The new wording ensures protection, in the public interest, against legal expenses that arise from statutory charges in the day to day operations of a public authority. Given the decrease in premium for 2071, along with the fairly minor increases to premium levels the last few years, staffsuggest retaining JLT for the2011 insurance program. Attachments 1. Summary of JLT Insurance Program 2011 (including optional additions) Recommendations THAT the 2011 Municipal insurance program be obtained from Jardine Lloyd Thompson Canada Inc. in accordance with the offer to renew dated December 12,2010, at a total premium of $105,744 plus applicable taxes.
