RECOMMENDATION: THAT the January 19, 2021, report titled, Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas Community Safety and Well-Being Plan Update, submitted by Julie Gonyou, CAO, be received and filed for information. INTRODUCTION: The Ontario government requires that all municipalities prepare and adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan as outlined in Bill 175 – The Safer Ontario Act1. Legislative amendments related to Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) planning came into force on January 1, 2019, as an amendment to the Police Services Act, 1990 (PSA). Due to the efforts required to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ontario government has extended the deadline for municipalities to complete and adopt a CSWB Plan to July 1, 20212 Municipalities have a leadership role in identifying their local priority risks in the community and addressing these risks through evidence-based programs and strategies, focusing on social development, prevention and risk intervention. The Town of Aylmer, County of Elgin and City of St. Thomas are taking a holistic approach to CSWB planning, and planning for a joint Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas CSWB Plan is well underway. 1 https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/s18003 2 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Support and Protection Act22020 amended the Police Services Act, S.O. 2019 to prescribe a new deadline for the completion and adoption of CSWB plans. 2 DISCUSSION: The Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas CSWB Plan will set out how partners across different sectors can work together to make our community a safer, more inclusive community where all residents thrive. CSWB planning recognizes that complex risks to safety and well-being cannot be addressed in isolation by any one organization, agency or sector. The goal of this process is to achieve greater coordination and collaboration on issues and situations before they escalate. CSWB Goals: The Goals of the Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas Community Safety and Well-Being Plan are to: • Engage citizens, businesses, agencies and organizations in making Elgin, Aylmer and St. Thomas healthier for all; • Increase our understanding of local risk factors; • Reduce demand for emergency response and acute care; • Ensure individuals are receiving the right response at the right time by the right service provider; • Increase the reputation of Elgin, Aylmer and St. Thomas as a safe and healthy community in which to live, work and play; and • Increase the community’s sense of pride. Leadership: The County of Elgin has been designated to lead this collaborative planning process with a Coordinating Committee and Advisory Committee. Jennifer Kirkham (Mischevious Cat Productions) has been hired to support the plan development in our community. Coordinating Committee Members • Chief Administrative Officers from the County of Elgin and Town of Aylmer • City Manager – City of St. Thomas • Mayors from the Town of Aylmer and City of St. Thomas • Councillor (Elgin County) • Councillor (City of St. Thomas) • Police Chiefs – Aylmer Police Service and St. Thomas Police Service • Additional leadership and support: Elgin County Legislative Services Coordinator (Carolyn Krahn) 3 Advisory Committee Members The Advisory Committee is comprised of over 20 organizations, representing various sectors including community agencies, emergency and police services, social service providers, and local government. Multi-sector collaboration is a key factor in our community’s CSWB planning process. Existing planning tables and groups with multi- sectoral representation and mandates have been supportive of this process. PLAN DEVELOPMENT: The Community Safety and Well-Being Plan work is being guided by the Province’s Community Safety and Well-Being Framework3 (“Framework”). Requirements: A CSWB Plan must include the following core information: 3 https://www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/english/Publications/MCSCSSSOPlanningFramework.html 4 • Local priority risk factors that have been identified based on community consultations and multiple sources of data, such as Statistics Canada and local sector-specific data; • Evidence-based programs and strategies to address those local priority risk factors; and • Measurable outcomes with associated performance measures to ensure that the strategies are effective and outcomes are being achieved. Four (4) Phases Planning for a CSWB Plan has been ongoing since March 2020. The planning process includes four (4) Phases: Phase 1: Project Planning and Onboarding • Kick off meeting with the Coordinating Committee • Introductory email and video for the Advisory Committee Phase 2: Research and Asset Mapping • Data package • Inventory of existing planning tables Phase 3: Community Engagement (ongoing) • Advisory Committee Online Discussion Forum • Advisory Committee Survey • Data walk session with the Advisory Committee • General public survey (Open July 27 – December 4, 2020; 429 responses – 4.72 confidence interval) • Interviews with the Ontario Health Team, Elgin Community Foundation Phase 4: Plan Development (currently underway) • Identify areas of focus for the Plan • Review community assets • Identify strategies • Set measurable outcomes • Performance measurement framework 5 Community Safety and Well-Being Elements The public and community partner surveys asked questions about the following elements of Community Safety and Well-Being (*): • Criminal Activity • Discrimination, Marginalization and Racism • Education and Skills Development • Employment • Emotional Violence • Family Support • Financial Security • Housing Security • Internet Access and Digital Literacy • Mental Health Issues • Mobility Safety • Physical Health Issues • Social Behaviours • Social Environment • Social Support • Street Violence and Gang Issues • Substance Use and Addiction • Transportation • Victimization (*) note: survey respondents were provided with a definition of each element Preliminary Identification of Community Priorities4 Top Priorities for the Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas CSWB Plan identified through the public survey are: 1. Mental Health Issues 2. Education and Skills Development 3. Substance Use and Addiction 4. Criminal Activity 5. Housing Security 6. Employment Community Partners identified the following Top Priorities: 1. Housing Security 2. Mental Health Issues 3. Substance Use and Addiction 4. Poverty and Income Security 5. Regional Economy 4 Responses are available by community and survey response summary is available on the County’s CSWB landing page www.elgincounty.ca/CSWB. Meeting minutes, agendas and additional information about the CSWB Plan can be accessed on the County’s website as well. 6 6. Primary Care/Physical Health Next Steps in the CSWB Plan Development The Advisory Committee and Coordinating Committee will conduct a comprehensive review of the priorities identified by community partners and the general public, along with the strategies/initiatives that are currently underway in our community. It is anticipated that the insights and ideas shared by community partners and the general public will inform the context of the plan and will identify any gaps in services or resources available in our community. As well, this information will be used to help build the strategies and actions for the plan. FUNDING IMPLICATIONS: The following list includes Provincial and Federal funding opportunities5 that could be leveraged to support the implementation of the Aylmer-Elgin-St. Thomas CSWB Plan. Provincial Funding Opportunities • Safer and Vital Communities (SVC) Grant; • Proceeds of Crime – Front Line Policing (POC-FLP) Grant; • Community Safety and Policing (CSP) Grant • Youth Collective Impact Program • Youth Opportunities Fund • Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative • Civil Remedies Grant Program • Seniors Community Grant Program • Ontario Trillium Foundation 5 Note: Timing for call-for-applications and eligibility criteria has not yet been reviewed. 7 ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: Serving Elgin Growing Elgin Investing in Elgin ☒ Ensuring alignment of current programs and services with community need. ☒ Exploring different ways of addressing community need. ☒ Engaging with our community and other stakeholders. ☒ Planning for and facilitating commercial, industrial, residential, and agricultural growth. ☒ Fostering a healthy environment. ☒ Enhancing quality of place. ☒ Ensuring we have the necessary tools, resources, and infrastructure to deliver programs and services now and in the future. ☒ Delivering mandated programs and services efficiently and effectively. Additional Comments: The CSWB planning process aligns with Elgin County Council’s 2020-2022 Strategic Plan and associated Action Plan. LOCAL MUNICIPAL PARTNER IMPACT: As prescribed in legislation, every municipal Council shall prepare, and by resolution, adopt a CSWB plan. The same process must be followed for a joint CSWB Plan (i.e. every municipality involved must pass a resolution to adopt the joint plan). The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Support and Protection Act, 2020 amended the Police Services Act by prescribing a new deadline for the completion and adoption of CSWB Plans. The new deadline for municipalities to prepare and adopt a CSWB Plan is July 1, 2021. The PSA includes regulatory requirements for municipalities related to the publication of their CSWB plans. These requirements include: • Publishing a CSWB Plan publicly (website) within 30 days after adopting it; • Making printed copies of the CSWB Plan available for review by anyone who requests it; • Publishing the plan in any other manner or form the municipality desires. 8 New legislation identifies that a municipality is required to provide the Minister of Community and Correctional Services with any prescribed information related to (upon request): • The Municipality’s CSWB plan, including preparation, adoption or implementation of the plan; • Any outcomes from the municipality’s CSWB plan; and • Any other prescribed matter related to the CSWB plan6. COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS: A copy of this report will be provided to all Local Municipal Partner CAOs for distribution to their Councils, as appropriate. CONCLUSION: The implementation of a CSWB Plan will mark a shift in focus from a reactive, response-based approach to incidents to a more predictive, holistic approach to community safety. 6 Note: Additional requirements related to monitoring CSWB plans may be outlined in regulation in the future.

C.27 (the “Act”). Perth South supports the proposed changes your government passed respecting conservation authorities in schedule 6 of Bill 229, the Protect, Support and Recover from COVID-19 Act (Budget Measures), 2020 (“Bill 229”). I expressed this support in my email to you on November 5, 2020. Our municipality, like many others across Ontario, has encountered longstanding conflicts regarding operational scope and costs with our principal conservation authority the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (“UTRCA”). Despite requests made in writing and through delegations at annual Board Budget meetings no resolution has been found. It is for this reason that Perth South was pleased to see the changes made through Bill 229; however, we were disappointed when the Working Group composition was announced as it is dominated by conservation authorities who are tasked with recommending the very regulations that govern them. I am sure you can agree that the initial optics of the governed designing the governance of themselves is concerning. Conservation authorities, most of whom opposed your reforms, should not be relied upon to develop fair and objective recommendations on their own. Further to my email of January 12, 2021, I am writing to you to confirm and clarify your full intent and scope for the Working Group your Ministry announced on December 16, 2020 to develop updated regulations. We are hopeful that you will direct this Working Group with clear, limited, and specific instructions that will focus on the intent of changes included in Bill 229. Perth South seeks your clarity that this Working Group’s tasks will be built on the following principles in the areas of focus highlighted: 1. Mandatory core programs and services conservation authorities would be required to provide. (a) That ‘mandatory’ core programs are limited to the changes included in schedule 6 of Bill 229: conservation lands solely owned by conservation authorities, flood-control, erosion, and natural hazards; (b) That conservation authorities are not permitted any discretion via regulations to exit those defined and strict categories; and (c) That ‘services’ must be concise, limited, and have obvious direct need to fulfil core mandates not merely ‘link’ or ‘complement’ the same. 2. The agreements between municipalities and conservation authorities and the transition period associated with non-mandatory programs and services (a) That the regulations establish a clear, consistent, and template pro- forma for these agreements that includes at a minimum: i. a specified time limitation to prevent perpetuity; ii. clear intent and objectives; iii. clear definitions, terms, and conditions; iv. the identified necessity for it/them; v. accurate, evidence-supported budget forecasting; vi. the impact of items (i-iv) on each participating municipality; vii. supporting science-based evidence that meets or exceeds the standard(s)/threshold(s) applied to any third party deemed an applicant and/or subject to an agreement’s provisions including on any items requiring peer review; viii. municipal and public input mechanisms and timelines; ix. dispute resolution processes that adhere to the legislation and the timelines proscribed therein; and x. municipal refusal/opt-out clause(s) where proposals o not have the support of the participating municipality and/or do not reasonably benefit a participating municipality or municipalities given their geographical extent or limit within the watershed of the conservation authority in question. (b) That the “transition period,” associated cannot be greater than one (1) fiscal year from the date of Bill 229’s passage in the case of any pre-existing agreement and no more than two (2) years from the date of Bill 229’s passage; and (c) That the Working Group must understand the principle that one “cannot do by regulation what one cannot do in law.” 3. How local members of the community can participate in their conservation authorities through community advisory boards (a) That these advisory boards and the conservation authorities that they ‘advise’ are not delegated responsibilities or tasks that are a normative function of a conservation authority’s operations and not delegation(s) or devolution(s) of a conservation authority’s board and its committees’ obligations and normal work; (b) That voluntarily submitted proposals for programs, projects, and services cannot be for activities either not contemplated or permitted under either conservation authorities’ mandated functions or approved non-mandatory agreements; (c) That advisory committee’s recommendations and work are neither binding nor required under a conservation authority’s administrative by-laws; (d) That any aspect of an advisory committee’s work that requires public consultation becomes a function of the conservation authority’s board or its approved board-fulfilled committees not the advisory committee/group; (e) That membership on any advisory committee or group must be balanced and reflect its composition to watershed citizens who are resident and contributing ratepayers in participant municipalities of the conservation authority in question; (f) That conservation authorities’ obligations to conduct deliberate, regular, thorough, and transparent public consultation on matters of policies, programs, and services cannot be delegated to an ‘advisory’ committee or group. That such functions remain a core and mandatory function of a conservation authority’s board; and (g) That community advisory boards neither relieve nor substitute a conservation authority’s obligation to incorporate citizens into consultative and/or input processes that are board-led or directed. We understand and agree that partnerships and collaboration are critical but want to ensure that there is balance in the parties that will represent the Working Group. Perth South also looks forward to greater clarity from the Ministry with respect to conservation authority budget and levy processes in the regulation updates. We are very pleased with the avenues of appeal Bill 229 will now provide, after recently exploring the costly and difficult appeal process that previously existed. As you work to reach the final outcome on these long overdue changes, Perth South and its residents are relying on you to ensure that the development of regulations will align with the spirit of the changes requested by Perth South and other municipalities across the province during the consultations that occurred in early 2020. I thank you for the work you are undertaking and trust our comments will be received and conveyed with your support to this Working Group. I am confident many more municipalities in this province would echo our points of view.

The 2020 operating and capital year brought several positive operational results from cost reductions, to new revenue, cost recovery initiatives, and improved procurement. The current covid-19 pandemic did increase the compliance costs in most departments and slowed our new tax assessment growth. The Municipality is still exposed to risks in the upcoming year which include: covid-19, supply constraints for materials, foreign exchange fluctuations for materials and supplies, interest rate risk, municipal road drain work, weather and winter maintenance.

SUBJECT: 2020 SURPLUS ALLOCATION PURPOSE: To approve allocation of the 2020 total surplus of $293,387.88. BACKGROUND: The 2020 financial statements have been drafted by the Treasurer and Capital surplus was $504,090.88 and operating was a deficit of $210,703. Capital surplus is due to Ontario Phase 1 Safe Re-start Grant ($164,100) and sale of assets ($216,080). Operating deficit is due to payout of Port Burwell Fire Hall at an amount of $346,274.74 Section 290 (4) (b) of the Municipal Act requires that any surplus from a previous year be included as an estimated revenue within the current budget. If this process is followed each year, during years where large fluctuations in surpluses occur, large tax rate fluctuations may also occur. Therefore, it is common practice for municipalities to allocate their annual surplus to reserves.
