ADJOURNMENT Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Board Composition Review April 2021 Mayor Sally Martyn, Chair - Elgin Group Police Services Board Ida McCallum, Vice Chair - Elgin Group Police Services Board Julie Gonyou, Secretary-Administrator - Elgin Group Police Services Board Presentation to Local Municipal Councils Background Community Safety and Policing Act (CSPA) - 2022; Section 10 agreements will be terminated and Section 10 Boards, including Elgin Group Police Services Board (PSB), will be dissolved; CSPA seeks to provide municipalities receiving OPP municipal policing with greater civilian governance of police, by having the opportunity to present their local perspectives, needs, and priorities; and It is anticipated that this will increase the responsiveness and transparency of OPP policing in these communities. Timelines March 18, 2021 - OPP Detachment Board Proposal Process Launched June 7, 2021 - Proposal due to Ministry Fall 2021 - Ministry approval anticipated January 2022 - Roll out (estimated) Process Approach allows municipalities to determine the preferred composition of their detachment board(s) by submitting a proposal (Ministry-provided form); Municipalities are required to work together to develop and submit one proposal indicating the composition of their board(s); There is no need to identify individuals, number of seats each municipality will be allocated on the board as well as the number of community reps and provincial appointments must be identified; and If consensus can't be reached, the Ministry will determine the composition of the board(s). Current Composition of the Board: (a) one (1) elected representative appointed by resolution from Eastern Elgin, alternating every 3 years between the Township of Malahide and the Municipality of Bayham; (b) one (1) elected representative appointed by resolution of the Council of the Municipality of Central Elgin for a 3-year term; (c) one (1) community representative from Western Elgin, apointed by resolution jointly by the Township of Southwold, the Municipality of Dutton/Dunwich and the Municipality of West Elgin for a 3-year term; and (d) two (2) persons appointed by the Lieutenant Governor In Council. Elgin Group PSB Elgin Group PSB Established in 2005 County Chief Administrative Officer is the Secretary-Administrator Funds and billing administered by the County Billing model is unlikley to change (based on calls of service/per household formula) Elgin Group PSB currently meets all of the minimum requirements of the proposal and is a high- functioning board. Elgin Group PSB How we measure success: Composition of 5 strikes a balance between too few and too many board members Attendance Members trust and challenge one another and engage directly with OPP leadership on critical issues facing our community Clarity - the board understands our role, protocols and expectations Cohesiveness - members are respectful of individual opinions and open to dialogue Board members actively participate in Ontario Police Services Board Association regional meetings and attend seminars/conferences Next Steps: Gather feedback from local Councils about current composition determine if there is an interest in maintaining status quo; Explore whether there is an interest in adding representatives (if so, who: elected officials / citizen representatives / provincial appointees?) Review feedback Secretary-Administrator will review with Elgin's Administrator Group and PSB Chair will share results with local Councils Propose a structure for Elgin's PSB Seek endorsement of proposed structure formal resolutions from local Councils required as part of submission Elgin Group PSB Secretary-Administrator will submit one application on behalf of the 6 municipalities This was agreed to by local Administrators (CAOs) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Proud to be different Background Information to the Township of Howick Resolution No. 288-20 Requesting Amendments to the Agricultural Tile Drainage Installation Act Rational for Proposed Amendments Over the years, Howick Township staff have received many requests for tile drainage information on farmland. Usually these requests come after a change in ownership of the farm. Some of these drainage systems were installed recently but many are 30 to 40 or more years old. Many were installed by contractors who are no longer in business or who have sold the business and records are not available. Information is generally available if the tile was installed under the Tile Drain Loan Program because a drainage plan is required to be filed with the municipality. If the tile system was installed on a farm without using the Tile Drain Loan Program, there likely are no records on file at the municipal office. The other benefits to filing tile drainage plans with the municipality are identified in Section 65 of the Drainage Act. • 65(1) – Subsequent subdivision of land (severance or subdivision) • 65(3) – Drainage connection into a drain from lands not assessed to the drain • 65(4) – Drainage disconnection of assessed lands from a drain • 65(5) – Connecting to a municipal drain without approval from council Section 14 of the Act states: (1) “The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations, (a) providing for the manner of issuing licences and prescribing their duration, the fees payable therefor and the terms and conditions on which they are issued; (a.1) exempting classes of persons from the requirement under section 2 to hold a licence, in such circumstances as may be prescribed and subject to such restrictions as may be prescribed; (b) Repealed: 1994, c. 27, s. 8 (5). (c) establishing classes of machine operators and prescribing the qualifications for each class and the duties that may be performed by each class; 44816 Harriston Road, RR 1, Gorrie On N0G 1X0 Tel: 519-335-3208 Fax: 519-335-6208 www.howick.ca Howick: a strong, independent, healthy, rural community. Proud to be different (d) providing for courses of instruction and examinations and requiring licence holders or applicants for a licence under this Act to attend such courses and pass such examinations; (e) prescribing the facilities and equipment to be provided by persons engaged in the business of installing drainage works; (f) prescribing standards and procedures for the installation of drainage works; (g) prescribing performance standards for machines used in installing drainage works; (h) prescribing forms and providing for their use; (i) respecting any matter necessary or advisable to carry out effectively the intent and purpose of this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. A.14, s. 14; 1994, c. 27, s. 8 (4, 5).” I believe it would be beneficial if a regulation required the installer, of agricultural drainage, to file a plan of the drainage system with the municipality following completion of the work. While most of Section 14 deals with contractor, machine and installer licences, I think that Section 14(f) or 14(i) may allow a regulation change. This would be a better solution than an amendment to the Act. Recommendations: • Request by municipal resolution that the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs amend the Tile Drainage Installation Act and/or the regulations, under the Act, that would require tile drainage contractors file all farm tile drainage installation plans in the Municipality where the installation took place • Send the municipal resolution to: o Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs o Lisa Thompson, MPP Huron Bruce o Randy Pettapiece, MPP Perth Wellington o Rural Ontario Municipal Association roma@roma.on.ca o OFA o CFFO o All Ontario municipalities o the Land Improvement Contractors of Ontario (LICO), and o the Drainage Superintendents Association of Ontario (DSAO) Wray Wilson, Drainage Superintendent Township of Howick drainage@howick.ca Website: www.amherstburg.ca 271 SANDWICH ST.

The following motion was adopted: That Sarnia City Council strongly advocate to the Province of Ontario that they adjust the capacity limits for dining, restaurants, sporting and recreational facilities, places of worship, event centers, and all retail/small businesses as part of the colour coded system. The following rationale was provided with the introduction of the motion: • The red zone currently only allows 10 people indoors at a dining or a sporting / recreational facility (regardless of the size), places of worship are capped at 30% or SO people, and retail / small business is limited to a 50% capacity. • These businesses and organizations have heavily invested in facility improvements and expensive upgrades to ensure safe social distancing and have all the appropriate safety and protection measures in place. • Businesses in particular cannot properly plan under the current uncertainty and that means the loss of jobs and income for both workers and owners as well as mental health challenges. • Indoor capacity limits for restaurants, dining, sporting / recreational facilities, event centers, retail / small business, and places of worship should not involve arbitrary numbers (regardless of size), but instead be changed to the amount of people per facility which ensures that strict and safe social distancing can be maintained. Sarnia City Council has requested that all municipalities in Ontario join this advocacy effort. On behalf of Sarnia City Council, I look forward to your reply.
