We have completed our review of the consent application submitted by Lloyd McQuiggan & Sons Trucking Inc. for lands located at 53900 Calton Line, north side, east of County Road 43 and the Hamlet of Calton. The applicant is requesting a lot addition to sever 740 m2 (0.18 acres) of unused agricultural land and merge it with an abutting residential parcel to square off the property and to retain 24 ha (60.4 acres)of agricultural land. The lands are designated Agriculture, Natural Gas Reservoir and Natural Hazard on Schedule "Al" Municipality of Bayham: Land Use of the Official Plan. The lot addition lands are zoned Agriculture(A1) and the parcel being added to is zoned Rural Residential (RR) on Schedule "Al", Map No. 10 in Zoning By-law Z456-2003. 2. The subject lands are agricultural lands which are not farmed, including a small row of deciduous trees and mowed grass, which lie between the residential property and the farm field. There is one existing dwelling on the residential lands. The surrounding uses are agricultural to the west and residential to the south with a ravine to the north and east. 3. Section E1.2.3 of the Elgin County Official Plan indicates that consents may be allowed where they are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2014(PPS), the County Official Plan, and the local Official Plan, the following paragraphs outline relevant aspects of these documents. 4. Section 2.3.4 Lot Creation and Lot Adjustments of the PPS indicates that minor lot adjustments are permitted and therefore the proposed lot addition is consistent with the PPS. 5. Section E1.2.3.4 Lot Creation on Lands in the Agricultural Area of the County Official Plan supports minor boundary adjustments that do not result in the creation of a new lot. The purpose of the proposed consent is to add lands to a residential lot through a minor boundary adjustment and therefore is consistent with the County Official Plan. 6. Section 8.7.1 of the Bayham Official Plan states that consents may only be granted by the Elgin County Land Division Committee and that the local Municipality, the Municipality of Bayham in this instance, shall provide comment on all consent applications. The severed lands are designated "Agricultural" in the Bayham Official Plan. Section 2.1.9 Minor Lot Adjustments and Section 8.7.2.5 indicate that minor lot additions or adjustments are permitted in agricultural areas as long as no new lot is created. The proposed IBI Group Professional Services(Canada)Inc.is a member of the IBI Group of companies IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM 2 Municipality of Bayham—April 3,2017 consent is to add the subject lands to the existing residential lot with no new lot created, therefore, the proposed is consistent with the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan policies. 7. The Rural Residential (RR) zone in By-law Z456-2003 allows for residential uses. With the addition of lot area to the residential parcel the zoning regulations for areas and setbacks are in compliance with the zoning by-law. The subject lands are shown on Schedule 'A', Map No. 10. The severed land will require an amendment to the zoning by-law mapping to encompass the entire proposed residential lot as Rural Residential (RR)Zone. 8. Based on the above review of the proposed consent application E20/17 we have no objections to the proposed consent application subject to the following condition: s That the proposed severed lands are rezoned to a Rural Residential (RR) Zone.

C-07/ D13.BUTI Roll # 3401-000-002-02800 SUBJECT: Rezoning Application — Buti Draft Zoning By-law Z660-2017 BACKGROUND: Rose Buti submitted a rezoning to application to rezone her property at 57565 and 57629 Tunnel Line. The applicant has requested Council consider the rezoning prior to applying for consent from Elgin County to divide the 40 ha (100 acres) parcel into two equal farm parcels of 20 ha (50 acres). A public meeting was held April 6, 2017 with three attendees (Darryl Buti, Alex Buti and Appointed Agent David Roe) and no public comments received. At the time writing this report no additional applicant or public comments have been received. PURPOSE AND EFFECT The purpose of this By-law is to change the zoning regulations on a 40 ha (100 acre) parcel in the Agricultural (Al-A) Zone to an Agricultural (A1) Zone in Zoning By-law Z456-2003. The zone change is requested in order to support a proposed land severance of the 40 ha farm into two equal farm parcels, with a separate consent approval required through Elgin County Land Division Committee application. The subject lands are located on the south side of Tunnel Line, east of Godby Road known as 57629 Tunnel Line. The effect of this By-law will be to allow for the splitting of an agricultural parcel of 40 ha (100 acre) into two 20 ha (50 acre) parcels by changing the zoning from Al-A to Al. The change is requested to allow the son of the owner to purchase the westerly parcel, including the dwelling he lives in on the lands, for growing higher return crops than the cash crops grown on the subject lands and on Ms. Buti's other 60 ha farm in the Township of Houghton. DISCUSSION Staff and planner are not supportive of the purpose and effect of the zoning amendments as per the Option 1 Recommendation in this report. Please refer to the attached IBI Group Staff Report DS-17/17 Buti 2 Memorandum dated April 5, 2017 for the complete analysis of the proposal. Option 2 is provided for Council's information.

AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham take the following action with respect to the application by Rose Buti relating to the property located at 57565 and 57629 Tunnel Line; The request to change the zoning on the lands from Agricultural (A1-A) Zone to Agricultural (A1) in Zoning By-law Z456-2003 to permit the fragmentation of the farm parcel BE REFUSED for the following reasons: a) approximately half of the subject lands is suitable for cultivation making the requested Zoning By-law amendment inconsistent with Section 2.3.4 of the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 which indicates that lot creation is permitted in agricultural designations if the lots are of sufficient size to maintain flexibility for future changes in agricultural operations b) the approval of this amendment could result in two undersized farm parcels which in the future may be undesirable for farming due to the limited arable lands available for cultivation making the requested Zoning By-law amendment inconsistent with Section 2.1.6 of the Official Plan c) The proposed zoning by-law amendment is not consistent with Section 2.1.6.2 of the Official Plan as it does not provide suitable justification to warrant the fragmentation of the farmland AND THAT, pursuant to Planning Act Regulations Bill 73 Smart Growth for our Communities Act, 2015, it be pointed out that at the public meeting held April 6, 2017 associated with this application, the individuals in attendance made an oral submission regarding this matter and that all public written and oral comments were taken into account which helped Council to make an informed decision to pass this resolution.

Box 160 Stratffordville, ON NOJ 1Y0 Dear Margaret: Subject: Application to Amend the Municipality of Bayham Zoning By-law North Part Lot 27, Concession 2 Bayham 57629 Tunnel Line Rose Buti I am writing to you to provide planning justification regarding the above mentioned zoning amendment to permit a 40 hectare farm to be severed into two equal parcels having a minimum lot area of 20 hectares. Background: The subject lands are located within Concession 2, part Lot 27 with frontage onto Tunnel Line. The lands have a frontage of 410 metres and a lot area of 40.47 hectares.The lands contain two existing dwellings,a garage,two barns,two greenhouses, 6 old style tobacco kilns and several bulk style tobacco kilns. Most of the agricultural buildings are in various states of disrepair. The owner, Mr. Rose Buti lives in the older farm house and her son Darryl Buti lives in the new farm house built in 1967. Mrs. Buti and her late husband grew tobacco on this farm since the late 1950's. Mrs. Buti owns another former tobacco farm located in Norfolk County, in the geographic Township of Houghton. That farm is 60 hectares in size. The farms are presently used for growing cash crops, corn and beans in rotation. Mr. Buti's son, Darryl would like to purchase the westerly 20 hectares (which contains the house he lives in) and grow higher return crops. However, a rezoning will be required to facilitate such a severance. Official Plan and Zoning Affecting the Subject Lands The lands are designated Agricultural by the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan and are zoned Al-A by By-law Z456-2003 of the Municipality of Bayham. The Al-A zone has a minimum lot area of 40 hectares . David F. Roe, M.C.I.P. R.P.P., Principal Phone 519-582-1174 email:dfrfez@bellnet.ca Fax 519-582-4616 Review of Planning Documents I have reviewed the Provincial Policy Statement (2014),The Elgin County Official Plan and the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan. Provincial Policy Statement(2014) (PPS) The lands are within an area considered to be prime agricultural areas. The following section is relevant to the proposed rezoning and future severance. Section 2.3.4.1 of the PPS with respect to lot creation. 2.3.4.1 Lot creation in prime agricultural areas is discouraged and may only be permitted for; a) agricultural uses,provided that the lots are of a size appropriate for the type of agricultural use(s) common in the area and are sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in the type or size of agricultural operations; Elgin County Official Plan The following policy is relevant to the proposed rezoning and future severance. E1.2.3.4 Lot Creation on Lands in the Agricultural Area In accordance with the intent of this Plan to maintain and protect the agricultural resource of the County and direct the majority of new residential growth to settlement areas or existing vacant building lots, new lots may be permitted if the local Official Plan supports their creation and if a) the lot is to be severed to create a new farm lot and both the retained and severed parcels each have a lot area of about 40 hectares; or as established in the local planning documents or, Municipality of Bayham Official Plan The following policy is relevant to the proposed rezoning and future severance. 2.1.6 Division of Agricultural Parcels 2 2.1.6.1 It is a policy of this Plan to discourage the division of large farms into smaller holdings and to encourage continued farm use. However, the severance of surplus farm dwellings pursuant to the process of farm consolidation shall be permitted in accordance with the policies of Section 2.1.7 of this plan. 2.1.6.2 The assembling and disassembling of agricultural land into more efficient or more productive farming units may be permitted. In considering applications to divide agricultural parcels of land the Municipality shall have regard to: a) The need to discourage the unwarranted fragmentation of farmland; b) The agricultural capability of the land; c) The type of agricultural activity engaged in and proposed to be engaged in; d) Both the severed and retained parcels must be sufficiently large enough to permit flexibility for future changes in the type or size of the farming operation, in order to meet changing economic conditions; e) The severed and retained parcels are both suitable for the type of agriculture use(s) common in the area and the farm size is appropriate for the type of agriculture operation proposed; f) The requirements of the Planning Act; g) The minimum farm parcel size as established in the Zoning By- law; h) The Minimum Distance Separation Formula I. Planning Comments The Planning Documents do not set a minimum size for agricultural parcels.While the policies generally discourage the creation of parcels less than 40 ha, they do permit agricultural severances to lesser sized parcels subject to certain criteria. These are,that lots are to be size appropriate for the type of agricultural uses common in the area and large enough to be flexible for future change. In this case, two things should be considered; firstly the size of agricultural parcels in the area are made up of many parcels less than 40 ha and indeed many of the parcels are 20 ha or less in size (see attached map). Secondly,the types of crops grown in this area of the County are often speciality type crops, including vegetables and fruit crops namely as asparagus, cucumbers,peppers, raspberries and blueberries. Potentially, there are other speciality crops that could be grown such as ginseng and hops that could also be grown.The attached table shows the gross income from growing these speciality crops when compared to typical field crops such as grain corn,soybeans etc. The gross return per area is 10x higher with many of the speciality crops. 3 Historically, Bayham has a history of growing many of these speciality crops and also of having agricultural parcels which are less than 40 hectares. The smaller agricultural parcel sizes provide flexibility for farmers,where larger sized parcels would not be affordable. Smaller parcel size also enables other farm operations to expand in smaller increments. In many ways the smaller parcel size (in the area of 20 hectares) provide the agricultural industry with more flexibility. What is being proposed,is in my opinion, consistent the relevant planning policies. In summary, I am satisfied that the intent of the PPS and the official plans are being maintained.

We have completed our review of an Application for a Zoning By-law amendment, submitted by Ms. Rose Buti, for a property located at 57629 Tunnel Line south side, west of Highway 55. The applicant is requesting a zoning by-law amendment to change the zoning on a 40 ha (100 acres) parcel of land from Agriculture (Al-A) Zone to Agriculture (A1) Zone in order to meet minimum lot area regulations for consent to sever the lands into two equal farm parcels of 20 ha (50 acres), to be considered by the Elgin County Land Division Committee. The applicant has requested that Municipal Council offer consideration for rezoning prior to applying for consent from Elgin County. The subject lands are designated as Agriculture and Natural Heritage on Schedule "Al" Land Use of the Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham. The lands are currently zoned Agricultural (Al-A) and LPRCA Regulation Limit on Schedule"A" Map No. 15 in Zoning By-law Z456- 2003. 2. The 40 ha (100 acres) property has 410 m (1,345 ft) of lot frontage on Tunnel Line and a lot depth of 1,020 m (3,346 ft). The property comprises of two single family dwellings, one on each proposed farm lot in proximity to Tunnel Line. The easterly dwelling is included in the existing farm cluster with two barns, a garage, a shed and several old and new tobacco kilns. Surrounding land uses are agricultural to the west, south and east, and agricultural and residential to the north. 3. The subject lands are located in a designated agricultural area. Section 2.3.4 Lot Creation and Lot Adjustments of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS) indicates that lot creation is permitted in agricultural designations, however, the lots must be of sufficient size to maintain flexibility for future changes in agricultural operations. Although the applicant has included some analysis of the region regarding multiple farms of 20 ha in the region, and as further analyzed below, only approximately half of the subject lands is suitable for cultivation. Therefore the proposed zoning application is not consistent with the policies of the PPS. 4. Section 2.1.6 Division of Agricultural Parcels of the Official Plan sets out the criteria for the consideration of the proposed severance and zoning. The plan policy is to discourage the division of large farms into smaller holdings and to encourage continued farm use. From an examination of recent aerial photographs it is evident that the entirety of the IBI Group is a group of firms providing professional services and is affiliated with IBI Group Architects IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM 2 Municipality of Bayham—April 5,2016 lands are not suitable for farm production. There is a medium sized woodlot on the southern portion of the lands and rolling wooded areas in the northwestern and western areas of the lands. Approximately half of the land is therefore unsuitable for farming, divided somewhat evenly between the east and west portions. The approval of this amendment could result in two undersized farm parcels which in future may be undesirable for farming due to the limited arable lands available for cultivation. Upon initial review a recommendation for severance of a surplus farm dwelling only including the lands around the existing dwelling to the west was offered as the preferred alternative to the current proposal, however, the applicant decided to proceed, in contradiction to our interpretation of the Official Plan policy described above. 5. In addition, Official Plan Section 2.1.6.2 indicates that the assembling and disassembling of agricultural land into more efficient or more productive farming units may be permitted subject to the following criteria: a) The need to discourage the unwanted fragmentation of farmland. The applicant indicates that their son wishes to grow specialty crops on the western portion of subject land. Such justification does not warrant fragmentation of the farmland. b) The agricultural capability of the land. As described above, approximately half of the land is unsuitable for farming and so the proposed farm parcels may be incapable of remaining viable for agricultural use in the future. c) The type of agricultural activity engaged in or proposed to be engaged in. The applicant has indicated that the farm operation includes a 60 ha (148 acres) farm parcel in neighbouring Norfolk County and the farm operation lands are currently used for growing cash crops, corn and beans in rotation. The owner's son would like to purchase the easterly lands, on which he resides, to grow higher return crops. Although the lands may be more productive with specialty crops the specialty crops could be produced without fragmentation of the farm parcel. d) Both the severed and retained parcels must be sufficiently large enough to permit flexibility for future changes in the type or size of the farming operation, in order to meet changing economic conditions. As outlined above, severance of this parcel may not provide sufficient cultivatable lands to meet changing economic conditions. e) The severed and retained parcels are both suitable for the type of agriculture use(s) common in the area and the farm size is appropriate for the type of agriculture operation proposed. As outlined above, the type of agricultural operation proposed does not warrant fragmentation of the farm parcel. IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM 3 Municipality of Bayham—April 5,2016 6. Based on our review of the application we do not recommend the requested Zoning By- law amendment from Agricultural (Al-A)zone to Agriculture(Al)Zone for lands at 57629 Tunnel Line.

To recognize the important role seniors play in our communities, we will be celebrating this year under the theme of"Living Your Best Life." During our celebrations in June, we can highlight how our seniors have built our communities and continue to contribute their time and talents in many ways. It's important we all recognize their achievements, and what better way than by proclaiming June as Seniors' Month in your community. I am asking you to make this proclamation and have attached a sample to make it easier for your municipality to participate. We will also be sending promotional materials for Seniors' Month soon. I would also like to encourage you to work with your local MPP(s)to host Seniors' Month events in your community. We would be happy to help you promote your event online. Please send your event details to infoseniors@ontario.ca. Two years ago we introduced our Twitter account to Ontario's seniors and we were impressed by the enthusiastic response to our online campaign. If you haven't already done so, please follow us @OntSeniors. For 2017, I encourage you to visit(and like) our new Facebook page: facebook.com/SeniorsOntario, where seniors across Ontario can share information important to them. Each year, municipalities have the opportunity to pay tribute to one outstanding senior with the Senior of the Year Award. A certificate, provided by the Ontario government, is signed by Her Honour the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor, myself as Minister of Seniors Affairs, and the local Head of Council. I encourage you to submit a nomination before April 30, 2017 and during Seniors' Month, showcase how your seniors are making a difference in your community. Throughout the month of June, I hope to visit a number of municipalities to help celebrate the achievement of local seniors. Finally, for more information on Seniors' Month and other supports for seniors, please visit the Ministry website at www.ontario.ca/seniors. Thank you for your consideration, and for honouring how our seniors are living their best lives.

Box 160,9344 Plank Road Straffordville,ON NoJ 1Yo Dear Paul Shipway, In 2017,Forests Ontario is marking Ontarioi5o and Canada's sesquicentennial by celebrating the rich legacy of our forests and by establishing future forests. Our forests are an undeniable symbol of our province.They support healthy ecosystems and address the challenges of climate change.Forests Ontario is proud to announce the launch of two initiatives and we invite your staff and residents to get involved: • The Heritage Tree Program recognizes important trees in our communities associated with significant figures and events from our history.Our goal in 2017 is to collect and share the stories of 150 unique trees and encourage greater appreciation of trees as cultural artifacts.Anyone can nominate trees for recognition as a heritage tree.Visit www.heritagetrees.ca or contact Toni Ellis,Heritage Tree Coordinator;at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 301. • Ontario's Green Leaf Challenge(GLC) —The Ontario government and Forests Ontario invite all Ontarians to plant 3 million trees in 2017.Your residents then add the trees they plant to our online counter, which will map and track trees planted across the province.The website also provides resources to connect residents with local tree planting events and tree planting resources.We encourage your staff to add trees to our counter,submit tree planting events and share information about your local tree planting programs.Visit www.greenleafchallenge.ca or contact Stephanie Prince,Communications Coordinator,at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 225. In addition, Forests Ontario continues to deliver the 5o Million Tree Program(5oMTP),supporting landowners and municipalities in establishing healthy new forests on their properties.The program offers significant financial and practical assistance for planting trees on properties with more than 2.5 acres of open land.The Program covers a significant portion of the total planting costs.The 5oMTP is an excellent opportunity to not only minimize costs and effort for tree planting,but enhance the value and function of the property and create a living legacy that will benefit entire communities. If you or your residents require more information about the 5oMTP,please contact Suzanne Perry, Forestry Outreach Coordinator,at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 239. Enclosed is a selection of materials detailing these initiatives. Please promote these opportunities to your community. Please encourage your staff and residents to contact us if they require additional copies. Our forests are essential to a healthy future.Let's take action today by growing future forests and by engaging Ontarians to appreciate the important place of trees in our communities.

ElginCou n ty- April 11, 2017 For immediate release County Budget Delivers Lower Than Anticipated Tax Rate CENTRAL ELGIN —At its February, 2017 meeting, Elgin County Council approved a $63,929,053 operating budget, with a 4.9 per cent levy increase in County taxes representing a 2.8% increase on the average home or approximately $41. It is a priority of Council to maintain and expand service levels for residents whilst being able to achieve affordable taxes. The County has been able to do this, despite significant revenue losses of over $5 million in OMPF and Ford property tax, through the use of reserves and measured tax increments over ten years. The 2016 operating surplus and cost reductions in public health and social services more than offset cost increases in hydro and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) resulting in a 0.1% improvement over the previously planned increase. In 2017, Council will continue several initiatives committed to in the 2016 Budget, including a new building for Terrace Lodge residents, investment in high speed fibre broadband, a $3.5 million grant to the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital and a Community Improvement Plan (CIP). New service improvements for 2017 include a new Elgin County Heritage Centre (museum), a $100,000 loan and enhanced lease payments to Southwold for the new library, as well as committing to ongoing funding of the Clean Water initiative. "Council's commitment to service is evident through the funding provided to programs and projects that are valued by the County's residents. These projects include everything from investment in infrastructure, to support of economic development, protection of the environment, and enhancement of health care services," said Elgin County Warden Grant Jones. Highlights of Council's commitment to improving the prosperity and quality of life in our community over the next ten years include: • The County will invest over$110 million in roads, focused on timely investments in existing infrastructure to ensure the lowest possible lifecycle costs. The 2017 capital plan includes rehabilitation of Wonderland Road, Vienna Line and Sparta Line. • $38 million investment in our long-term care facilities. • Over$2.5 million in economic development stimulus through funding of Elgin Business Resource Centre (EBRC) satellite offices, the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and high speed internet (SWIFT). • The purchase of$3.2 million of books for libraries. • Environmental improvements through $400,000 commitment to the Clean Water Initiative. -30- For additional information, please contact: County of Elgin Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services Administrative0SuseDrive Services 450 Sunset Drive 519-631-1460 x141 St.Thomas,ON N5R 5V1 Phone:519-631-1460 jbundschuh(a elgin.ca www.elgincounty.ca Progressive by Nature EIIn `"'L'l' ` N_t,rc REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Pn rassir:t; FROM: Jim Bundschuh, Director of Financial Services DATE: January 24, 2017 SUBJECT: 2017 Budget INTRODUCTION: Council is focussed on achieving an affordable tax increase in 2017, while maintaining and expanding the service enhancements committed to within the 2016 budget. These service enhancements include $30 million of expenditures to rebuild Terrace Lodge, as well as investing into the County's economic growth through the $1 million Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and the $0.5 million SWIFT broadband project. New service improvements for 2017 include $1 million expenditure for an Elgin County Heritage Centre, a $100,000 loan and enhanced lease payments to Southwold for the new library, as well as committing to ongoing funding of the Clean Water initiative. In addition, the County is upgrading Wonderland Road from a lower volume local road to a higher volume county road. This year will result in a tax increase on the average property (across all classes) of 3.9%, which is 0.1 % below the previously planned 4% increase. The increase on the average household will be $41, which is only a 2.8% increase as a result of tax shifts between property classes. DISCUSSION: Council's strategic vision has been to maintain service levels while achieving an affordable tax increase. Council's commitment to service is evident through the funding Council has provided to programs and projects valued by the County's residents. These programs and projects span the gambit from health care to economic development to infrastructure to the environment. The funding highlights are as follows: 1. $30 million rebuild of Terrace Lodge and capital maintenance projects for Elgin Manor and Bobier Villa of$8.0 million over the next ten years. 2. $2.25 million granted to the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital through 2017 with a further$1.25 million in contributions planned for a total of$3.5 million by 2022. 3. $1 million in CIP funding to improve streetscapes and improve the economic outlook for the County's businesses. 4. Two satellite offices for the Elgin Business Resource Centre (EBRC) to assist the County's budding entrepreneurs and help create local jobs. 5. $0.5 in funding to attract government and private sector support for high speed internet (SWIFT). 6. The county roads will receive $9.1 million in 2017 capital budget funding, with a further$104 million for the next nine years focused on timely investments in existing infrastructure to ensure the lowest possible lifecycle costs. The 2017 capital plan includes rehabilitation of Wonderland Road, Vienna Line and Sparta Line. 7. Purchase of$3.2 million of books for libraries over the next ten years as well as a $0.1 million loan and $28,000 annual lease increase for new the Shedden library. 8. $40,000 grant to the Clean Water Initiative will now be made on-going. In the last number of years, affordable tax increases have been achieved, despite significant revenue losses of over $5 million in OMPF and Ford property tax, through the use of reserves and measured tax increases over ten years. Council strategically planned a low to moderate use of reserves to allow a series of 4% increases on the average property continuing through 2020 to rebalance the budget. Through the ten-year plan, Council has been focused on ensuring the long-term financial stability of the County. If timely capital investments are not made to infrastructure, replacement costs will be substantially greater in the future. Although the use of reserves can allow for a short-term loss in municipal position (comparable to owner's equity at a personal level), an ongoing reduction in municipal position through insufficient taxation and neglected infrastructure will ultimately materialize as costly asset replacements and even higher tax increases. Utilizing grants such as Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, as well as capital surpluses, for important projects to maintain a sound municipal position is therefore prudent. An increase in OCIF base funding of$1.6 million over three years, a Canada Cultural Spaces Fund grant of$0.5 million and $1.0 million 2016 capital surplus will allow Council to build a Elgin County Heritage Centre and upgrade Wonderland Road to a higher volume road while continuing with key life-cycle capital maintenance action on the county's other infrastructure. All this can be done without the need for an incremental tax increase. The primary changes to the county's operating cost in 2017 are increases for hydro and reductions in Public Health and Social Services budgets. In addition, the cost increases in subsequent years of the ten-year plan for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) will be partially offset by the 2016 operating surplus. The net of these various changes allows for a 0.1% reduction in the previously planned tax increases of 4.0% down to a 3.9% increase on an average property. This 3.9% increase on taxation of existing buildings, as shown on Attachment I, results in a levy increase from the 2016 level of$30.8 million of$1.2 million. In addition, new building construction (growth in county residents) will add a further$0.3 million of levy (1%) for a total levy of$32.3 million. As a result of the 2016 reassessment cycle (affecting 2017-2020 taxation years), the residential class benefits from a tax burden shift between classes. The benefit of this is only slightly mitigated by a provincially mandated change in the multi-residential ratio. The province is mandating through a levy restriction that the previous ratio for multi-residential of 2.3458 be lowered to below 2.0 (the levy restriction would take a few years to bring the ratio down to the provincially mandated target). Optionally, the entire reduction can be done proactively by Council in 2017 thereby avoiding the complexities associated with dealing with a levy restriction. The local treasurers are recommending a ratio of 1.9999 for 2017 to avoid these complexities. With a multi-residential ratio of 1.9999 for 2017, the overall benefit to the residential class of tax burden shifts will be 1.1% (as compared to an estimated change of 1.2% if the levy restriction option were chosen). The 3.9% increase on an average property translates into a 2.8% increase on the average household based on the 1.1% tax shift burden, or $41 per household higher than the prior year taxes (see Attachment I). In addition to the multi-residential change, the province has introduced changes to property taxation that included flexibility in setting the vacancy reduction rate on commercial and industrial properties. The local treasurers are in agreement that vacancy ratios should be unchanged for 2017, but by the spring a report will be presented to Council with recommendations for changes for future years. Delaying ratio changes until next year but announcing those changes early in 2017 will give proper notice to businesses of changes to their taxes. The final tax policy change introduced by the province impacting the County is the introduction of a new Landfill property class requiring a new tax ratio be set. The only properties for Elgin County in this new class are within Payment-In-Lieu (PIL), meaning payments between different government bodies. The province has provided strong indications that the result of the new class/ratio will be revenue neutral within Elgin. Once the province has made its final decisions on the treatment of this class, staff will provide a separate report explaining the outcome and Council can then approve the new tax ratio as dictated by the province. Provided that the province maintains their current position that the result will be revenue neutral, only Schedule A (Ratios) & C (Tax Rates) would have to be modified to include the ratio/rate for the new landfill property class. The current ten-year plan sees the municipal position growing at a rate of 1.3% from $198 million in 2016 to $225 million in 2026. Although this rate of growth is somewhat below the rate of inflation, staff is confident that cost efficiencies resulting from new technologies (e.g. micro-surfacing) should allow the County's assets to be maintained with the investments contained within the 2017 ten-year capital plan. The detailed operating, capital and grant budgets are found on the following attachments: o Attachment I — Explanation of Taxes o Attachment II • Schedule A— Ratios (subject to change) • Schedule B — Operating Budget ■ Schedule C —Tax Rates (subject to Change) o Attachment III —Ten Year Business Plan o Attachment IV—Ten Year Capital Plan o Attachment V—Ten Year Balance Sheet & Reserves o Attachment VI —Grants o Attachment VII — Departmental Details CONCLUSION: Council will be able to continue with its commitment of improving services to residents with a 3.9% increase on the average property (across all property classes). This translates into approximate 2.8% increase on the average household or$41 increase in taxes. RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT the 2017 proposed budget, which includes the operating budget, the capital budget and grants, be approved with a levy of$32.3 million or 2.8% on the average household; and, THAT the multi-residential ratio be reduced to 1.9999 to avoid provincially imposed levy restrictions; and, THAT the necessary by-law be prepared once the landfill tax ratio calculation is available from the province.
