As communicated by the Premier at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference, the government is maintaining the current structure of the OMPF for 2020. This means the program is the same as it was in 2019, while allowing for annual data updates and related adjustments. We have been listening to municipalities and have heard that you need information early to allow time to plan for your budgets. That is why we are announcing allocations now— the earliest that OMPF allocations have ever been announced. Consistent with prior years, Transitional Assistance will ensure that the 2020 funding guarantee for municipalities in northern Ontario will be at least 90 per cent of their 2019 OMPF allocation and for municipalities in southern Ontario will be at least 85 per cent of their 2019 OMPF allocation. Northern and rural municipalities with the most challenging fiscal circumstances will continue to have their guarantee enhanced up to 100 per cent of the prior year's allocation. As in prior years, Transitional Assistance continues to adjust in 2020 as fewer municipalities require this funding. Consequently, the 2020 OMPF will provide a total of $500 million to 389 municipalities across the province. The Ministry of Finance's Provincial-Local Finance Division will be providing your municipal Treasurers and Clerk-Treasurers with further details on the 2020 OMPF. This information and other supporting materials will be posted online at http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/budget/ompf/2020. .../cont'd - 2 - Our government respects our municipal partners and we are committed to working together to serve the people of Ontario.

The Ontario government has made several regulatory changes as part of the transition away from Global Adjustment (GA) Refinancing under the previous government's Fair Hydro Plan to the new, more transparent on-bill rebate. These changes include amendments to Ontario Regulation 363/16 made under the Ontario Rebate for Electricity Consumers Act, 2016. The transition to the OER is a key part of the government's commitment to strengthen transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility in the electricity sector and respond to the recommendations of the Auditor General of Ontario. The OER will replace the 8% rebate and the reduction previously provided through Regulated Price Plan (RPP) rates, as well as the GA reduction that was provided to consumers not participating in the RPP. As a result, the Electricity line on bills will rise, the OER will provide an increased percentage rebate, and the average residential bill will increase in line with inflation. Consumers that were previously eligible for the 8% rebate will be eligible for the OER including low-volume consumers such as households and small businesses, as well as farms, certain long-term care homes, and certain larger multi-unit complexes that are primarily residential (i.e. where at least 50% of the units are "qualifying units" as defined), such as apartment buildings and condominiums (see section 1.1 (1) 5 of O. Reg. 363/16 as amended). .../cont'd -2- Under the new rules, certain larger multi-unit complexes that are not primarily residential (as contemplated above), and certain types of multi-unit complexes (see section 1.1 (2) of O. Reg. 363/16 as amended), are not eligible for the OER. This includes, but is not limited to: • hotels, motels or motor hotels, resorts, lodges, tourist camps, cottages or cabin establishments, inns, campgrounds, trailer parks, tourist homes, bed and breakfast vacation establishments or vacation homes; • hospitals (as defined under O. Reg. 363/16, as amended); • living accommodations occupied by a person for penal or correctional purposes, or premises that are subject to the Ministry of Correctional Services Act or the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017; • short-term living accommodations provided as emergency shelter; • universities, colleges of applied arts and technology or other entities that provide post-secondary education; and • premises that are identified by a NAICS code commencing with digits 21, 22, 23, 31, 32 or 33. However, consumers that were receiving the 8% rebate on October 22, 2019 but are not eligible for the OER will nevertheless receive the OER until October 31, 2020 if they meet the new notice requirements set out in section 1.3 of O. Reg. 363/16 (as amended) before February 1, 2020. If they don't meet those notice requirements, they will receive the OER until January 31, 2020 (see section 1.2 (2) of O. Reg. 363/16 as amended). Additional new notice requirements are also being introduced for certain larger multi-unit complexes that are eligible under the new rules (see section 1.3 of O. Reg. 363/16 as amended). These notices are due to Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) before February 1, 2020 (see section 1.1 (4) of O. Reg. 363/16 as amended). Consumers with inquiries regarding their eligibility or notice requirements should be directed to their LDC. Note that while this letter is intended to provide useful information about these regulatory changes and Energy, Northern Development and Mines' (ENDM) administrative policy intent, it is not intended as legal advice. You should consult with your legal advisers or with the Ontario Energy Board if you have any questions. .../cont'd -3- I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you for your support as the government works to deliver on its commitment to build a fair and efficient electricity system.

Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA) is a special purpose environmental body that works in partnership with the provincial and federal governments, our eight member municipalities and the community to protect, restore and manage the natural resources and features in the Long Point Region Watershed. LPRCA is one of 36 Conservation Authorities in Ontario and was formed in 1971 as a result of the amalgamation of the Big Creek Region (1948-1970) and Otter Creek Conservation Authorities (1954-1970). We provide quality of life and value-added services to residents through our programs including watershed management, erosion control and mitigation, flood forecasting and warning, recreation, water quality and quantity monitoring, plan input and review, environmental education and stewardship. As a leader in environmentally-sustainable practices and responsible stewardship, we look forward to strong continued collaborations to achieve the objectives of our Strategic Plan. A .7nrpr .. - .

BOARD CHAIR AND GENERAL MANAGER On behalf of the Long Point Region Conservation Authority, we are pleased to present our five year strategic plan which identifies our strategic directions for 2019-2023. The Long Point Watershed is an extraordinary place and the people that live here are committed to the community and take pride in the unique characteristics of the region. We have a responsibility to protect this watershed, for today and tomorrow. The Strategic Plan is a result of consultation with our Board of Directors, staff, municipal partners, and the public who are equally committed to protecting the Long Point Watershed. These meaningful contributions will set forth the tone for the next five years and lasting benefits for current and future generations. While this plan identifies some new objectives and strategic direction, we continue to be committed to our core mandate to protect people and property from flooding and other natural hazards, safeguard and enhance the water and natural places, provide education and engagement with our residents and connect people with the environment. As we move forward over the next five years this plan will provide both a blueprint and a roadmap to build on and enhance all facets of our organization. It guides us, yet provides enough flexibility to meet the changing environment. The goal of this plan is to have a positive impact both within our organization and across our watershed. ligeZied-00‘ 411 Wtpt Mike Columbus Judy Maxwell, CPA, CGA Chair, Board of Directors General Manager/Secretary-Treasurer STRATEGIC PLAN 2019-2023 I LPRCA 4 OUR WATERSH :• The Long Point Region Watershed is home to approximately 98,000 people and covers an area of 2,782 square kilometres. Our Watershed encompasses the entire Municipality of Bayham and the Town of Tillsonburg; most of Norfolk County; and portions of Haldimand County, the County of Brant, the Township of Norwich, and the Townships of Malahide and South-West Oxford. The Long Point watershed is situated on the north shore of Lake Erie and is part of the Lake Erie Water Basin. The watershed is made up of six main sub-watersheds areas: Big Otter Creek, South Otter/Clear Creek, Big Creek, Dedrick/Young/Hay Creek, Lynn River/Black Creek, and Nanticoke/Sandusk/Stoney Creek. The Watershed is drained by more than 30 creeks and tributaries with 225 kilometres of Lake Erie shoreline. LPRCA owns over 11,000 acres of land that includes 13 water-control structures and five conservation areas with campgrounds. The Long Point Region Watershed falls within the Deciduous Forest Region of Canada also known as the Carolinian Forest Zone. There are significant pockets that include species such as the Tulip Tree, Black Gum, Sassafras, Flowering Dogwood and Cucumber Tree. These tree species are rare in Canada and occur naturally only in southern parts of Ontario, north of Lake Erie. There are 85 species at risk found in the Long Point Region watershed, including 14 reptiles and amphibians, 30 birds and insects, 14 fish and mollusks, 23 plants and mosses, and 4 mammals. Our watershed is diverse. It contains varied natural landscapes, ecosystems and natural areas, which supports a rich biodiversity that provides the foundation for a healthy watershed. LPRCA works with our municipal partners, stakeholders, as well as an actively engaged community who contribute to support the development of a thriving, resilient, and economically sustainable watershed. ;" � �i -. n; '` . � .� ti • - - " �.. 7 R s i ;r• ar.

On September 24th, 2019,the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing launched consultation on Transforming and Modernizing the Delivery of Ontario's Building Code Services.The reality is that the ministry is looking for a way to remove this service delivery function from government even though they have dramatically reduced the level of support provided to the building sector over the past 15 years. This is happening at a time when the Building Code has increased in volume, complexity, and harmonizing with the National Code. In addition, a large number of experienced building officials have left the workforce.There has been a fear that the reduction of these services has put public well-being at risk. This is why other agencies and associations from the sector have already stepped in to fill these voids. The Ministry is now proposing that a Delegated Administrative Authority(DAA) be created to administer an undefined number of functions, which may include building sector service delivery, consumer protection, and the protection of public safety.This at a time when they have been very critical of other administrative authorities for stepping outside their mandate or being"broken". Moreover, creating another level of red tape and agency bureaucracy. They are also intending other methods building code enforcement that would remove a municipality's authority to administer and enforce construction regulation within their communities but does not eliminate any of the associated responsibility or liability. This DAA is being advertised as adopting a fee-for-service revenue model however approximately 90%of the funds required to operate this agency would come from a provincial tax applied to the building permit fees municipalities collect. A resolution concerning transforming and modernizing the delivery of Ontario's Building Code services WHEREAS,the Province of Ontario has legislated in the Building Code Act that "the council of each municipality is responsible for the enforcement of this Act in the municipality" and "the council of each municipality shall appoint a chief building official and such inspectors as are necessary for the enforcement of this Act in the areas in which the municipality has jurisdiction", PSV 1 r ESI"17gq THE FOIITTOWN AND WHEREAS, "the council of a municipality may pass by-laws applicable to the matters for which and in the area in which the municipality has jurisdiction for the enforcement of this Act", AND WHEREAS,the Province has asked local governments to find efficient and cost effective ways to deliver municipal services is now asking these same municipalities to collect a tax on their behalf to create a new Delegated administrative Authority to deliver services that have historically been the responsibility of the Ontario Government, AND WHEREAS, Premier Ford stated in his keynote address at the Association of Ontario Municipalities 2019 Conference that"we can't continue throwing money at the problem (broken systems) as our predecessors did, into top-down, big government schemes.That is neither compassionate nor sustainable", AND WHEREAS, alternative methods of building administration and enforcement have been proposed in this consultation that remove municipal authority but not associated liability, THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED that the The Municipality of Prescott requests that,the Province of Ontario research their own efficient and cost effective means to deliver their services, or work with other building sector groups that, for the past fifteen years, have been filling the voids as the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has severely reduced its service delivery role, or provide evidence based justification to municipalities that the creation of a new Delegated Administrative Authority is necessary prior to any legislative changes to the Building Code Act, with regard to building service delivery, are introduced in the Legislature. Be it further resolved that a copy of this motion be sent to The Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario,The Honourable Jim McDonnell, Parliamentary Assistant for Municipal Affairs and Housing. Be it further resolved that a copy of this motion be sent to the Associations of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and all Ontario Municipalities for their consideration.

This consultation period closes on October 21, 2019; And Whereas The Provincial Policy Statement is a consolidated statement of the government's policies on land use planning and is issued under section 3 of the Planning Act. The PPS applies province-wide and sets out the provincial policy direction for, among other things: The efficient use and management of land and infrastructure; Protecting public safety, the environment, and important resources including farmland; And Whereas Municipalities are the primary implementers of the PPS through policies in their local official plans, zoning by-laws and other planning related decisions; And Whereas The proposed draft policies would enhance agricultural protections to support critical food production and the agricultural sector as a significant economic driver; And Whereas The proposed draft policies would direct large ground-mounted solar facilities away from prime agricultural and specialty crop areas, except for on-farm diversified uses; And Whereas The Municipality of West Elgin is primarily an agriculture-based economy, and large grid-connected industrial wind turbine projects could also remove large portions of prime agricultural land from use, and are therefore not an appropriate use of prime agricultural land; Therefore West Elgin Council supports the above policy statement with regard to large ground-mounted solar facilities; and recommends that PPS policies also include P: 519.785.0560 E: deputyclerk@westelgin.net F: 519.785.0644 www.westelgin.net language to direct wind turbine facilities away from prime agricultural and specialty crops, except for on-farm diversified use; And That West Elgin Council hereby directs staff to send a copy of these comments prior to the October 21/19 deadline, to The Provincial Planning Policy Branch at https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-0279; with copies to Minister of the Environment Conservation and Parks, and MPP, Jeff Yurek.

The Municipality of Bayham Winter Operations Plan sets out a policy and procedural framework for ensuring that the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham continuously improves on the effective delivery of winter maintenance services and the management of road salt used in winter maintenance operations, as outlined in Environment Canada's Code of Practice for the Environmental Management of Road Salts. PRIORITIES The Municipality's winter control procedures are in place to meet or exceed the Minimum Maintenance Standards as set out in the Municipal Act. As such, some roads are given a higher priority. Not all roads will be maintained in the winter to the same degree. The degree of winter maintenance will vary in accordance with the role the road/street plays in the transportation network and its classification according to the Minimum Maintenance Standards. SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE Only select sidewalks are maintained for winter operations. The Municipality does not perform snow removal around community mailboxes; please contact Canada Post for snow removal in this area. WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS As per the Municipality of Bayham Traffic By-law, parking is not permitted on any municipal streets from 3:OOam-5:OOam. This ensures the Municipality can completely clear streets of snow and that emergency vehicles can get down the street. DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES As we all anticipate having streets cleared free of snow accumulation, no one looks forward to the pile of snow that's left at the end of the driveway. Plows push the snow along the roadway, and some of the accumulated snow travels along the blade. As the plow moves past a driveway, the snow falls to one side leaving what is called a windrow. It is up to the home owner to clear the snow left behind the plow. Piling snow to the right side of the driveway can help reduce the amount of snow pushed back into the driveway. Standing in the driveway and looking at the street determines the right side. MAILBOXES & SOD DAMAGE The Municipality will replace broken mail boxes only if the snow removal equipment makes physical contact with the mailbox. Landowners are responsible to ensure that mailboxes are securely attached to their post. Heavy snow will knock down a mailbox if it is not properly secured. Plowing snow presents many challenges. It is difficult to tell exactly where the edge of the road/sidewalk is and when the ground is not frozen some sod damage may occur. Generally the Municipality does not conduct repairs to sod within the municipal right-of-way.

Unfortunately, I do not have room in my own driveway for my truck. It would be very convenient if I could have your permission to park my transport on the above-noted property when I am home. The majority of the time,my truck would be parked at this location on weekends and evenings (over night).
