Consequences of Master Storm Drain Plan • Segment repairs were stopped on Erieus Street, already in bad shape • 2016 to 2021 (current) the failing Erieus Street line just gets worse • This is especially so for 21 Erieus because it drains the land all round it • In spite of check valve, twinned sump pumps, generator, pumping to street • The MSDP anticipated yearly storm water repairs. • The MSDS did not anticipate the consequences of work not being done in a timely fashion. Proposed MSDP Mitigation Amendment • The Municipality stopped segment repairs as too costly. • The Municipality's MSDP has been stalled: due to a lack funds • Meanwhile major storm events and intensity keep increasing • The consequences for 21 Erieus are becoming more dire • 1 suggest a "Mitigation Amendment" to the MSDP • That is, provide a homeowner the opportunity to seek assistance from Bayham to mitigate the consequences of Bayham's decision to stop the "severed repairs" & the unfortunate delay in full implementation of the MSDP For 21 Erieus Street -Broad Strokes • Place a submersible pump in the yard storm water basin • Pump to Wellington Street • Connect to 21 Erieus house hydro (& access to generator) • Duplicate the current single hose sump discharge to Wellington • Arrange for an inspection of the foundation at 21 Erieus • Review the MSDP to satisfy everyone that the new system will eliminate the flooding at 21 Erieus Street once in place Request of Council • I am asking that Council direct staff to address the mitigation suggestions above with the presenter and report back to Council on feasibility, cost and timing. ��j � I h% vJ tic ,:� Mi '. � •� �, � �,' � � "��� '��Sar r � i I .i � `.� ���{ /�.i %� `: k 'Mf �1 �.`f- �` \'J � fin: ♦ I � I VA , 9P. y` Dj A r A r.y,+ �'43� / �.. rJ^ `� .'. /��•7yr ,�. ` I r �•i t ; ,l, •7��. ..��1�TT'F i • �`{' "1 'r- � ` 1i4.

Official Plan Schedule 'C' identifies a small portion in the southeast corner of the lot, a portion of the proposed severed lands, being located in the 'Hazard Lands' and 'Flood Fringe' designations. Section 6.2.1.2 requires that prior to the erection or alterations of any buildings or structures that a property survey be provided to verify the topographic elevations. Furthermore, Section 6.2.3.2 policies indicates that the development of buildings and structures in the flood fringe is "subject to floodproofing to the Regulatory Flood level and any other special flood protection measures which are adopted in compliance with the regulations of the Zoning By-law, and subject to written approval from the Conservation Authority." Zoning By-law Section 4.14.2 specifies that no permanent buildings are permitted if there is susceptibility to flooding and Section 4.14.4 indicates that building permits to be issued by the Building Inspector for susceptible lands are to be coordinated through consultation with the Long Point Region Conservation Authority (LPRCA). IBI Group is a group of firms providing professional services and is affiliated with 1131 Group Architects IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM Municipality of Bayham — July 8, 2021 Notwithstanding the above policies, the area of the lands which is identified on Schedule `C' as hazard lands and Flood Fringe is very small in area and located on the furthest southeast corner of the severed lands within the required rear yard setback where no buildings are permitted. We recommend that the applicant provide confirmation of adequate elevation above the susceptible flood area from the LPRCA prior to development of the severed lands. 4. The Municipality of Bayham Official Plan Section 4.2 and subsection 4.2.1.3 and 4.2.2.1, as well as Section 4.5.2.2, indicate that development in settlement areas for residential uses are permitted on the basis of infilling in an existing built up area and where municipal services are available. The proposed development will infill on underutilized lands in an existing built-up area. This is consistent to the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, Section 1.1.3. Furthermore, Section 4.5.2 Residential Uses within Village designations indicates that the primary use of these lands shall be for single -detached dwellings. The severed lands would be developed for single - detached residential use. Additionally, the proposed development is consistent to Section 4.5.2.8 criteria for new single -detached units, subject to fulfilling conditions of Consent listed below, including: a) Adequate lot frontage, lot depth and lot area are provided b) And c) Not applicable; d) Parkland dedication will be required in accordance to By-law No. 2020 — 053 Cash -in -lieu of Parkland. e) Residential uses in the form of single -detached dwellings surround the lands, there is no anticipated land use compatibility concerns. f) The new dwelling shall connect to the existing municipal water and sewer services. g) Storm water drainage provisions shall adequately control surface water runoff to not adversely affect neighbouring properties or receiving watercourses. h) Adequate vehicular access to Oak Street is available. i) The proposed development is consistent to the Planning Act. The proposed consent is consistent to the PPS and the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan, provided the conditions of Consent are addressed. 5. The subject lands are located in the Village Residential (R1) zone and one single detached dwelling on one lot and accessory uses are listed permitted uses. The severed and retained lots meet the minimum lot frontage and area regulations for the IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM Municipality of Bayham — July 8, 2021 R1 zone. The dwelling on the retained lot has reduced rear yard depth of 6.9 m whereas 7.0 m is the required minimum. The proposed lot is of adequate size and configuration to accommodate a dwelling, accessory building and private services in conformity to the R1 zone regulations. The applicant shall rezone the retained lot to a site -specific R1 zone to recognize reduced rear yard setback. 6. Based on the above review of Consent Application E49/21, we have no objection to the proposed Consent to sever a portion of land from the parcel known municipally as 10 Oak Street. The following conditions for Consent approval are recommended: a) That the owner provide confirmation of adequate elevation above the susceptible flood area from the LPRCA prior to development of the severed lands. b) That the owner rezone the retained lands to a site -specific R1 zone to permit rear yard setback of 6.9 m. c) That the owner pay fees as required in Municipal By-law No. 2020 — 053 Cash - in -lieu of Parkland. d) That the owner connects the new dwelling to the municipal water and sewer services along Oak Street. e) That the owner provide grading plans showing adequate storm water control of surface water runoff to not adversely affect neighbouring properties or receiving watercourses. f) That the owner provides a survey of the subject lands. g) That the owner provides a Planning Report Fee payable to the Municipality of Bayham. P"Ve IBI Group Paul Riley Consulting Planner to the Municipality of Bayham i�8�011�0 TO: Mayor & Members of Council REPORT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FROM: Margaret Underhill, Deputy Clerk/Planning Coordinator DATE: July 15, 2021 REPORT: DS-44/21 FILE NO. C-07 / D9.21 WDBronz Roll # 3401-000-004-03407 SUBJECT: Consent Application E50-21 W. D. Bronz Ltd. — creation of a new lot BACKGROUND: A consent application was received from the Elgin County Land Division Committee submitted by W. D. Bronz Ltd. proposing to sever 775 m2 (0.19 acres) of land and to retain 890 m2 (0.22 acres) of land with the intent of creating a new lot. The subject lands are known municipally as 9222-9228 Alward St., village of Straffordville. The lands are designated "Residential" on Schedule "B" of the Official Plan. The lands are zoned Village Residential (R1) Zone on Schedule "F" Map of Straffordville in the Zoning By-law Z456-2003. Elgin County Land Division Committee will consider the application at the meeting scheduled for July 28, 2021. DISCUSSION: The intent of the severance is to divide the existing semi-detached dwelling parcel. The planner's memorandum dated July 8, 2021 provides the analysis of the application against the Bayham Official Plan and Zoning By-law policies. Each unit of the semi-detached residence has a driveway, civic numbering, well and municipal sanitary service in use — no additional municipal services required. The standard conditions apply including rezoning both parcels to recognize a reduced minimum lot area and lot frontage. In addition, the two properties will share an existing drainage swale, which will require a registered Easement Agreement between property owners. Staff and planner recommend Council's support of the consent application with the recommended conditions as presented. Staff Report DS-44/21 W D Bronz ATTACHMENTS 1. Consent Application E50-21 W. D.

Bronz Ltd. - 9222/9228 Alward Street, Straffordville - Application for Consent E50/21 1. We have completed our review of Consent Application E50/21 submitted by W.D, Bronz Ltd. for lands located at 9222/9228 Alward Street, south side, south of Heritage Line in the village of Straffordville. The applicant is requesting a Consent to sever 775 m2 (0.19 ac) of land and to retain 890 m2 (0.22 ac) of land with the intent to create a residential dwelling lot. The subject lands are designated 'Residential' on Schedule 'B' of the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan and are zoned Village Residential (R1) on Schedule 'F' of Zoning By-law Z456-2003. 2. The proposed severed parcel will have lot frontage of 15.2 m (50 ft) and lot depth of 49.9 m (163.8 ft) and is currently occupied by one-half of a semi-detached dwelling. The proposed retained parcel will have lot frontage of 15.2 m (50 ft) and lot depth of 58.7 m (192 ft) and is currently occupied by one-half of a semi-detached dwelling. The lands are serviced by municipal sewer services and private onsite water services. Surrounding land uses are residential to the east and west, residential and commercial to the north (the commercial use being a lot zoned commercially but used for residential purposes, where the former commercial use has been discontinued) and agricultural to the south. 3. The Municipality of Bayham Official Plan Section 4.2 general residential policies in settlement areas, indicate that development in settlement areas for residential uses are permitted on the basis of infilling in an existing built up area; that residential uses other than single -detached dwellings are encouraged in settlement areas where there is no land use conflict when new or converted dwellings are feasible; and affordable housing is encouraged. The creation of a new lot for the existing dwelling(s) in the form of a semi-detached building is encouraged and would increase supply of more affordable units in the Municipality which is consistent to the Official Plan. 4. The proposed development is consistent to Section 4.5.2.8 criteria for new residential units, subject to fulfilling conditions of Consent listed below, including: 1131 Group is a group of firms providing professional services and is affiliated with 1131 Group Architects IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM Municipality of Bayham — July 8, 2021 a) Adequate lot frontage and lot depth are provided. Both proposed lot areas are less than the minimum 900 m2 (0.22 ac) required in the R1 zone. The existing lot and dwelling function as two rental dwelling units and there are existing separate municipal sewer services and separate private waters services (wells) for each proposed lot. It is considered adequate to permit reduced lot area by way of site -specific Zoning By-law Amendment for each lot in order to facilitate minor expansion of more affordable residential lots in a settlement area with existing services. The applicant will be required to rezone the retained lands to recognize reduced lot area and to rezone the severed lands to recognize reduced lot area. b) And c) Not applicable; d) Parkland dedication will be required in accordance to By-law No. 2020 — 053 Cash -in -lieu of Parkland. e) Residential uses surround the lands and the building functions as two separate dwellings, there is no anticipated land use compatibility concerns. f) Separate municipal sewer and private water services are existing. g) Storm water drainage provisions shall adequately control surface water runoff to not adversely affect neighbouring properties or receiving watercourses. An easement will be required for the shared swale at the rear of the lands. h) Adequate vehicular access to Alward Street is existing. i) The proposed development is consistent to the Planning Act. 5. The subject lands are located in the Village Residential (R1) zone and semi- detached dwelling is a listed permitted use. The severed and retained lots meet the minimum lot frontage and setback regulations. As indicated above, the proposed lots have reduced lot area of 775 m2, or 14% reduction, and 890 m2, or 2 % reduction, whereas 900 m2 is the required minimum. A 14% reduction and 2 % reduction to the minimum lot area is in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Furthermore, the proposed lot frontage of 15.2 m is below the required minimum lot frontage of 20.0 m (65.6 ft) in the R1 zone for partially serviced lots. The dwellings have existing private water services and municipal water services, with the intent of min. lot frontage to provide for private service systems; and the minimum lot frontage for fully serviced lots is 15.0 m, therefore, recognizing reduced lot frontage for both the retained and severed parcels as part of the site -specific zoning amendment is considered generally in keeping with the intent and purpose of the ZBL. The applicant shall rezone the retained and severed lands to recognize reduced lot area minimum and reduced lot frontage. IBI GROUP MEMORANDUM Municipality of Bayham — July 8, 2021 3 6. Based on the above review of Consent Application E50/21, we have no objection to the proposed Consent to sever a portion of land from the parcel known municipally as 9222/9228 Alward Street. The following conditions for Consent approval are recommended: a) That the owner rezone the retained lands to a site -specific R1 zone to permit minimum lot area of 890 m2 and minimum lot frontage of 15.2 m. b) That the owner rezone the severed lands to a site -specific R1 zone to permit minimum lot area of 775 m2 and minimum lot frontage of 15.2 m. c) That the owner pay fees as required in Municipal By-law No. 2020 — 053 Cash - in -lieu of Parkland. d) That the owner provide confirmation of a registered Easement Agreement, for the shared drainage swale. e) That the owner provides a survey of the subject lands. f) That the owner applies and pay's all fees to the Municipality with respect to Civic Addressing/signage for the severed lot. g) That the owner provides a Planning Report Fee payable to the Municipality of Bayham.

Billions of microfibers are released into the aquatic ecosystem daily in the Great Lakes basin, either directly via treated final effluent, or indirectly as runoff from land - application of treated sewage sludge; and WHEREAS microfiber contamination is widespread: Worldwide and local studies have shown microfibers present in commercial fish, Great Lakes fish (including Lake Trout, Rainbow smelt, Brown bullhead, etc.), honey, salt, Great Lakes beer, tap water, bottled water and much more; and WHEREAS microfibers are the most prevalent type of microplastics in the environment and have been found in surface water, soil, biota, and atmospheric samples; and WHEREAS a 2014 surface water study in Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and their tributaries measured micoplastics at abundances between 90,000 and 6.7 million particles per square kilometer. These levels of microplastics are similar to or exceed concentrations found in ocean gyres like the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch; and WHEREAS microplastics do not biodegrade; and WHEREAS chemicals such dyes and flame retardants are added to textiles during manufacturing. Textiles can also absorb chemicals from their environment after manufacturing. Some of these chemicals are toxic, and harmful chemical compounds can be released into the environment via leaching from microfibers; and WHEREAS a growing body of research shows that the effects of microplastics on animal life are far-reaching. Researchers have investigated the impacts of microplastics on gene expression, individual cells, survival, and reproduction. Mounting evidence shows that negative impacts can include decreased feeding and growth, endocrine disruption, decreased fertility, and other lethal and sub -lethal effects. Some of these effects are due to ingestion stress (physical blockage), but many of the risks to ecosystems are associated with the chemicals in the plastic. Studies have shown that chemicals transfer to fish when they consume microplastics. When these fish end up on our dinner plates, we potentially increase the burden of hazardous chemicals in our bodies; and WHEREAS a recent set of laundering experiments in the laboratory; have shown that an external filter can capture an average of 87% of fibres by count and 80% by weight before they go down the drain (Mcllwraith et al. 2019). On a wider scale and in real -life context, Georgian Bay Forever, the University of Toronto and the Town of Parry Sound are completing a study that is measuring the effect that about 100 filters in households has on reducing microfibre pollution in the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant. The results of this study are to be released in August; and WHEREAS add -on filters cost approximately $180-220 CDN to purchase and install, which is prohibitive for the average household. Accordingly, voluntary adoption rates are low; and WHEREAS France has passed legislation (France 2020-105, Article 79) that requires future washing machines sold to have filters. California has introduced a bill (California AB 622), and Ontario has tabled Private Member's Bill 279 to prohibit sales of washing machines without a filter of mesh size 100 microns or smaller. Companies such as Arclik have manufactured washing machines with filters built directly into them; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Cities Initiative (Cities Initiative) recognizes that to date the largest documented source of environmental microfibers is washing machines, and that findings indicate washing machine filters mitigate the majority of fibres shed during machine washing; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Cities Initiative recognizes the need to require future sales of washing machines to include filters with a maximum mesh size of 100 microns; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Cities Initiative and its members call on the Ontario government to pass Bill 279, and to call on the Canadian and U.S. government to create appropriate regulatory measures to the same effect; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that until households can only buy new laundry machines outfitted with <100 micron filters, the Cities Initiative and its members call on provincial, state and federal governments to provide funding and education to help constituents reduce microfiber waste. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that Council for the Corporation of the Township of The Archipelago directs its staff to submit this resolution to the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Cities Initiative; and forward this resolution to all municipalities in the Great Lakes watershed and to Federal and Provincial Representatives.

CARRIED. The Council of the Municipality of Bayham has specific concerns regarding development charges and their potential impacts on future development in Bayham. Bayham is a lower -tier municipality at the eastern end of Elgin County with a population of approximately 7,400 residents. Due to its primarily rural nature and relative distance to larger urban centres, Bayham has historically been a slow -growth municipality with development primarily focused on Port Burwell and Vienna. Very recently, Bayham has been under increasing development pressure in its northern areas, specifically Straffordville and Eden, and there is worry amongst Council that if Elgin County were to implement an upper -tier development charge structure across the entire County, the added upper -tier development charges would negatively impact Bayham's ability to attract and retain development and increase our tax assessment base. Bayham does not have lower -tier development charges and has historically been apprehensive of development charges due to real added costs for developers to consider Bayham as a development option. In addition, the administration of an upper -tier development charge would fall to local municipal partner staff to record, collect and remit monthly development charges to the upper -tier. This will increase the work burden on local municipal partner staff, particularly for those local municipal partners who do not currently have development charges. If an upper -tier development charge is implemented, will local municipal partners be compensated by the upper -tier for the additional work load? We respectfully suggest that the implementation of upper -tier development charges may be better suited for municipalities with larger and denser populations rather than municipalities on the edges of the County that have generally struggled to attract and retain development and population. For slower -growth municipalities, such as the Municipality of Bayham, it is anticipated that the implementation of an upper -tier development charge would be of little benefit for our local community. As a closing thought I think it prudent to remind the County of Elgin that there are other avenues available to capture growth related municipal capital costs. I understand that conditions/covenants can be included in Plan of Subdivision Agreements and Site Plan Agreements to capture additional costs to municipalities due to development. In other words, formal development charges are not the only available avenue to support the principle of "growth pays for growth." Thank you for receiving our comments and concerns regarding the County of Elgin Development Charges Background Study and proposed options for implementation. Bayham looks forward to working with the County going forward and further discussing implications of development charges on our community.

That Report PWIS-2021-022, Williams Point Road and Beacock Road School Bus Turnarounds, be received; 2. That funding not to exceed $150,000 for the construction of turnarounds on Williams Point Road and Beacock Road to accommodate school buses, be provided through the Municipal Projects Reserve; 3. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to enter into Permission to Enter agreements on Beacock Road and Williams Point Road at the location of the turnarounds; and 4. That Council and staff continue to work with Province of Ontario and the local school boards to change their policies to allow 3-point turns or backing up where necessary, to provide safer service to dead-end and private road children and prevent the need for additional turnarounds to be constructed on Township of Scugog roads. PWIS-2021-022 Williams Point Road and Beacock Road School Bus Turnarounds 1. Background: In June 2020, Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS) notified the Township of Scugog that due to changes to their policy school buses would no longer service the following roads: Road New Bus Stop Location Whitfield Road 230 m west of Honeys Beach Road Indian Way and Whitfield Road Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run Caesarea Regional Road 57 and Williams Point Road Beacock Road Regional Road 57 and Beacock Road The changes were the result of Section 7.2 of the DSTS Policy that states: "Generally, school bus stops will not be located in areas such as cul-de-sacs or dead end streets. DSTS does not enter private property and roads, such as long rural driveways, gated communities and townhouse/apartment complexes. DSTS reserves the right to determine if the roadway is suitable for travel, given road conditions and necessary space requirements factoring in turning radius of large school vehicles. " Township staff and an adjacent property owner were successful in providing a solution to allow for ongoing use of the existing bus stop on Whitfield Road located 230 m west of Honeys Beach Road. There is currently a small loop on private property where school buses are able to safely turnaround. To meet the requirements of DSTS, a Permission to Enter Agreement was signed between the Township and the property owner in August 2020 for use of this turning loop. However, on both Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run and Beacock Road, DSTS requires the construction of new turnarounds before they will return school buses to these roads. 2. Discussion: 2.1 Issues on Williams Point Road and Beacock Road Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run runs northeast off of Regional Road 57 and is approximately 2.2 km in length. According to DSTS, 29 students on this road are eligible for school transportation. These students attend Port Perry High School, R.H. Cornish Public School and Cartwright Central Public School. Page 2 of 8 PWIS-2021-022 Williams Point Road and Beacock Road School Bus Turnarounds Beacock Road runs west off of Regional Road 57 and is approximately 2 km in length. There are 3 students eligible for school busing on this road that attend Port Perry High School and Cartwright Central Public School . After receiving letters from DSTS about the changes to the bus routes, many parents on both these roads were upset and requested review of the transportation arrangements in accordance with Section 7.0 of the DSTS policy. The requests were reviewed by the DSTS Governance Committee in a meeting held on October 28, 2020 and changes to the decision were denied. Many of the parents have expressed concerns about the school bus changes, including: • The change in policy although bus stops have been in operation for 25+ years; • The distance that some children will have to walk to the bus stop exceeds the maximum distance of 800 m in the DSTS Policy; • The safety of children walking these distances on narrow roads that have no sidewalks or streetlights; • The likelihood of congestion as the result of parents driving their children to the new bus stops, especially in the winter; • The safety of children waiting for buses on RR 57; and • The school bus service on the road was part of the decision making process to move to these locations. 2.2 Policy Change Requests Despite considerable effort from Council, staff and parents, DSTS has held firm that they will not return the school buses to Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run or Beacock Road unless suitable turnarounds are available. In an effort to change the DSTS Policy, at the April 26, 2021 Council meeting, Scugog Council passed the following resolution: "That Dead -End Road delegations be received: from parents, video, site www. durhamdeadendroadkids. ca and attached correspondence and, - Whereas Dead -End Road kids (cul-de-sacs, private roads) busing being moved from long-time residential to highspeed (some 80km) common stop pickups, percentage of 830,000 Ontario bused students impacted as Student Transportation Services (STS) citing buses shouldn't access private roads, do 3-point-turns, or back up; kids expected to walk 1-2km twice daily (caregivers 4x) in morning dark, on narrow road shoulders, with no "bus stop ahead" warning signage; Whereas Parents report employment/housing at risk.

To date, the Township has not received a response from any of these parties regarding the requests. 2.3 Turnaround Designs In order to assist in returning the school buses to Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run or Beacock Road, Township staff reviewed options to construct turnarounds on these roads. On Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run, DSTS requires a turnaround for the largest size (70 passenger) school bus which requires a 24.5 m (80 feet) diameter turnaround. DSTS indicated that a smaller size bus has difficulty making the sharp turn on Williams Point Road and immediately navigating the incline through snow. Further using a smaller bus would not guarantee service along the roadway during winter months. The Township considered two locations for the turnaround. The first was at the Williams Point Cottagers Association park property and the second was at the corner where Williams Point Road and Jack Rabbit Run meet. The second location was considered preferable as it would not impact parkland and would shorten the walking distance for children on Jack Rabbit Run. In order to determine whether such a turnaround was feasible, the Township retained a consultant to undertake a survey of the area and prepare a preliminary design. The turnaround was able to be designed primarily within lands owned by the Township but will have require permission to enter for land on the southeast corner of the turnaround. As well, the turnaround will require some trees to be removed and a Bell pedestal to be relocated. On Beacock Road, DSTS indicated that a smaller turnaround of 19 m (62 feet) m diameter turnaround would be sufficient as a smaller bus could be used for this location. The best location was determined to be the west end of Beacock Road and the adjacent landowner has indicated willingness to enter into a Permission to Enter agreement for this turnaround.

Financial Implications: As the need for the turnarounds were not known at the time the 2021 Capital Budget was prepared, this work is unbudgeted. The total estimated cost for the design and construction are provided below: Planmac Engineering Inc. $15,000 Williams Point Road Turnaround $90,000 Beacock Road Turnaround $30,000 Contingency $15,000 Total Estimated Cost 150 000 The estimated construction costs include: • Clearing and grubbing • Removal of bitumous surface, earth excavation (to 500 mm depth), grading • Supply and place 300 mm of Granular `B' • Supply and place 150 mm of Granular `A' • New 450 mm culverts • Ditching and removal of material • Asphalt and line painting for Williams Point Road (50 mm HL8, 30 mm 1-11-3) • Restoration of driveways and grass areas • Mobilization/ demobilization • Traffic control The turnaround on Williams Point Road will also require relocation of a Bell pedestal. The cost for this relocation is not yet known. It is recommended that the above costs be funded from the Municipal Projects Reserve. 4. Communication Considerations: Township staff will notify DSTS, affected residents and the Williams Point Cottagers Association regarding the timing of the works. Information will also be provided on our website throughout the length of the project to provide the public with a means to keep updated on the progress of the project and to notify of any closures, detours, etc. Page 7 of 8 PWIS-2021-022 Williams Point Road and Beacock Road School Bus Turnarounds 5. Conclusion: At this time the construction of school bus turnarounds on Williams Point Road/ Jack Rabbit Run and Beacock Road appears to be the only solution to have the school buses return to these roads and provide a much needed service for the children on these roads. Township Council and staff will continue to work with the Province of Ontario and the local school boards to change their policies to allow 3-point turns or backing up where necessary, to provide safer service to dead-end and private road children and prevent the need for additional turnarounds to be constructed on Township of Scugog roads.

We are especially concerned that this decision was made with no consideration or consultation with the various stakeholders in the community. This decision will severely impact the Bayham Community and the Edison Vienna & Area Museum, as we utilize the Vienna Lions Community Center for the delivery of many of our community and fundraising functions. These events were well attended by residents of our community and the region, some of whom would not have otherwise been able to attend if held outside Vienna. If the Vienna Lions Community Center is sold, we expect more transparency on decisions and also expect to have the opportunity to be involved in decisions on recreational and social opportunities for the village of Vienna going forward. We thought we had developed a good rapport between the Bayham Historical Society and the Municipality of Bayham. Despite this, we were extremely discouraged to have had to learn of the Council's decision through, The Aylmer Express, our adjacent municipality's weekly paper; and not through any communication before or after the decision by our elected council. If a public meeting is not being scheduled to talk to the community then the Bayham Historical Society is requesting a private meeting with the Municipality of Bayham's representatives and officials. We look forward to this opportunity to discuss this matter as well as hearing what plans you have in place to specifically address the widening gap between the various communities of Bayham and what investments are planned for Vienna to offset this planned loss of facilities. We welcome your response at your earliest convenience.

Council also considers resolutions in support of road closures for parade and block parties throughout the year. The Municipality has worked to implement a standard approval framework and timeline so all requests are considered together to permit for early notification of approvals and the ability for Public Works to make plans pertaining to the allocation of resources and staff to support the decisions of Council. Staff brought Report CAO-03/21 forward to the February 18, 2021 Council meeting. At the time, Bayham Beachfest had come forward with a request and Council passed the following resolution: Moved by: Councillor Chilcott Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Weisler THAT Special Event Request Form and Event Road Closure Request Form from the Bayham Beachfest Committee for 2021 Bayham Beachfest be received; AND THAT the Council of the Municipality of Bayham grants permission to use municipal streets within Port Burwell for event purposes on Saturday, July 31, 2021 and Sunday, August 1, 2021 subject to the organizers: • providing the municipality with proof of liability insurance coverage naming the Municipality of Bayham as an additional insured, in the minimum amount of $2,000,000.00; obtaining the necessary approvals from the Ontario Provincial Police and the Bayham Fire Chief (as per completion of the Special Event Request Form, Event Road Closure Request Form and parade route mapping) AND THAT the Council of the Municipality of Bayham grants permission to use Pitt Street from 20 Pitt Street to Robinson Street for Bayham Beachfest activities on Saturday, July 31, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 1, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. with road barrier across Pitt Street at the Marine Museum and across the intersection of Pitt Street and Robinson Street; AND THAT the Municipality of Bayham Public Works Manager be directed to provide the necessary provisions for traffic control, signage and safety, installation and removal of extra garbage cans with garbage bags; AND THAT for the requirements noted above, quantity and location for drop off with map be provided to the Municipality one month prior to the event; AND THAT clean-up of all areas and any costs thereof, be the responsibility of the organizers. Since that time, an additional request has come forward from Bayham Beachfest, which is detailed herein. DISCUSSION The additional request from Bayham Beachfest pertains to fireworks. The 2020 resolution is below and includes authorization from Council, subject to the Bayham Beachfest Fireworks Company providing a certificate of insurance as noted. THAT Report CAO-12/20 re Municipal Assistance — Bayham Beachfest be received for information; AND THAT the Council of the Municipality of Bayham grants permission to use the following locations: ➢ Pitt Street from 20 Pitt Street to Robinson Street Port Burwell including Marine Museum Parking Lot for Bayham Beachfest activities on Saturday August 1, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. — 10:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 2, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; ➢ Chatham Street Green Space for Bayham Beachfest activities on Saturday, August 1, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 2, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. — 8:00 p.m.; ➢ Port Burwell Pier for fireworks display and two (2) parking spaces near the Pier for equipment on Sunday, August 2, 2020 from 4:00 P.M. — 11:00 p.m.; AND THAT Bayham Beachfest provide a certificate of insurance, naming the Municipality of Bayham as an additional insured, in the minimum amount of $2 million liability, covering all events; AND THAT the Bayham Beachfest Fireworks Company provide a certificate of insurance, naming the Municipality of Bayham as an additional insured, in the minimum amount of $2 million liability, covering all events; AND THAT Bayham Beachfest obtain the necessary approvals from Southwestern Public Health, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Bayham Fire Chief, as per the Municipal Event Notice and provide a copy of the same to the Municipality of Bayham; AND THAT all other terms and conditions of the municipal rental agreement remain in effect; AND THAT the clean-up of the event areas and any costs thereof, be the responsibility of the organizers; AND THAT arrangements be made with the Municipality of Bayham Roads Operations Supervisor to provide picnic tables, garbage cans / recycle barrels, pylons and barricades for the pier; AND THAT for the requirements noted above, quantity and location for drop off with map be provided to the Municipality one month prior to the event. Bayham Beachfest is requesting fireworks be permitted, similar to previous years, on August 1, 2021 and that access to the pier be provided for same. The Special Event Form submitted in support of this application does note that Council should receive the request at least six (6) weeks prior to an event and the required organizations (OPP, EMS, and the Count) should be advised with at least four (4) weeks' notice prior to an event. Given the timing of this subsequent Request, Bayham Beachfest cannot meet these requirements. However, since fireworks have been part of these celebrations in the past, this Request is not out of the ordinary and as such, Council may still consider it in light of timing and Province's Reopening Plan, which, as of the drafting of this Report is in Phase 2. RECOMMENDATION THAT Report CAO-17/21 re 2021 Municipal Assistance — Bayham Beachfest be received for information; EITHER 2 AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham grants permission for Bayham Beachfest to conduct a fireworks display in the evening of August 1, 2021, subject to the following criteria: providing the municipality with proof of liability insurance coverage naming the Municipality of Bayham as an additional insured, in the minimum amount of $2,000,000.00; obtaining the necessary approvals from the Ontario Provincial Police and the Bayham Fire Chief; ■ ensuring compliance with applicable Provincial regulations regarding outdoor gathering under the Province's Reopening Plan and local public health guidelines.

REPORT CAO TO: Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Thomas Thayer, CMO, CAOICIerk DATE: July 15, 2021 REPORT: CAO-19/21 SUBJECT REQUESTED UPDATES TO THE MUNICIPAL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND PROTECTION OF PRIVARY ACT (MFIPPA) — FOLLOW-UP TO COUNCIL CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED JUNE 17. 2021 BACKGROUND: At its June 17, 2021 meeting, Bayham Council received correspondence from the Township of Lake -of -Bays and the Township of Plympton-Wyoming re Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) and, in part, passed the following resolution: Moved by: Councillor Chilcott Seconded by: Councilor Donnell THAT correspondence items 11.1.1-A — 11.1.1-K be received for information; AND THAT Staff be directed to report back to Council with further information relating to information 11.1.1-13 Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) DISCUSSION The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, RSO 1990, cM 56, as amended, otherwise known as MFIPPA, came into force and effect on January 1, 1991. MFIPPA legislates how information is to be made available to the general public and includes information on how Freedom of Information (FOI) requests are to be handled, including costs and fees, exceptions, timelines, etc. Generally speaking, as society evolves and legislative pressures shift at the Provincial level, the Province will repel legislation and enact new, modern legislation in its place. Examples include the shift from the Cemeteries Act (1990) to the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act (2002), and the new Municipal Act, 2005, which replaced the 1990 version of same. The current MFIPPA is 30 years old and has not received a complete revisit in that time. This means that a number of the provisions in MFIPPA is generally outdated due to technological and societal advancement over that period. First, when MFIPPA came into force and effect, digital records management was not commonplace and the vast majority, if not all of municipal records were hard -copy, stored in Municipal vaults or storage centres under a coding system such as The Ontario Municipal Records Management System (TOMRMS). MFIPPA does not refer to digital systems and implications pertaining to providing or generating a record to respond to an FOI request under MFIPPA. Second, MFIPPA outlines the fees for searching, preparing, photocopying, and delivering responsive documentation under MFIPPA. The intent was to include a cost recovery mechanism in MFIPPA and its associated Regulations to ensure that staff time and resources were adequately offset by the FOI requestor. These fees, and fees thresholds for the issuance of Fee Estimates and deposits, have not been updated and no longer adequately reflect the costs associated with completing and issuing a response to an FOI. Third, an FOI under MFIPPA is a confidential process by which the only parties privy to the request, its nature, and its responsive documentation are the requestor and the staff assigned to address and complete the request. This opens the FOI process up for abuse through the submission of numerous and/or simultaneous requests. Since staff are legislated to respond to all FOls received, the receipt of numerous and/or simultaneous requests can take up a substantial amount of staff time and resources pertaining to the completion of such requests. As noted earlier, under MFIPPA, there is the requirement for an organization to issue a Fee Estimate (for requests over $25) and the option to require a deposit (for requests over $100) This also has the opportunity for abuse as staff have to complete searches and a representative amount of other preparation work to determine the potential cost to the requestor. In some municipal examples, requestors have walked away from Fee Estimates and Deposit requests of over $1,000, where the municipality still must incur staff time and municipal resources for search and preparation, but with no mechanism for cost recovery. Further, and as noted in previous correspondence received by Council, the MFIPPA threshold to label a request(s) as frivolous or vexatious is very high, which means that even if numerous and/or simultaneous requests are being received from a requestor(s), the Municipality would find it difficult to prove a frivolous or vexatious request(s) under MFIPPA and would still have to complete the request(s). In light of these concerns and their impacts to Municipal and staff resources, municipalities have begun to make request of the Province to revisit MFIPPA and update MFIPPA accordingly to address the technological and societal advancement of the last 30 years. RECOMMENDATION THAT Report CAO-19/21 re Requested Updates to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) — Follow-up to Council Correspondence Received June 17, 2021 be received for information.

Staff Report CAO 23/19 noted that replacement of the Geothermal Waterfurnace Units were an .dentified, upcoming capital cost for the Municipality, quoted at $52,354+HST in 2017. Any capital cost of this nature had historically been funded from the Vienna Community Centre Reserve Fund (VCCRF), which, as of December 2021, contained $90,327.75. At its March 4, 2021 meeting, Council passed the following resolution: Moved by: Deputy Mayor Weisler Seconded by: Councillor Chilcott THAT Report CAO-04/21 regarding Canada Healthy Communities Initiative be received for information; AND THAT Council supports the Vienna Community Park Improvements application under the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative. The Canada Healthy Communities Initiative has two intake periods, both of which the Municipality has utilized to apply for government funding to improve and enhance the Vienna Community Park, located adjacent to the VCC. At its June 17, 2021 meeting, Council passed the following resolution: Moved by: Councillor Froese Seconded by: Councillor Donnell THAT Report CAO-15/21 re Funding Options for Straffordville Community Centre ICIP Grant — Municipal Portion be received for information; AND THAT Staff be directed to utilize Option 1 in Report CAO-15/21 to fund the Municipal portion of the Straffordville Community Centre project; AND THAT Council of the Municipality of Bay deems the Vienna Community Centre surplus to the needs of the Municipality and directs staff to commence disposition under the Municipality's Sale of Surplus Municipal Lands Policy; AND THAT Staff be directed to draft and issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for architect service for the Straffordville Community Centre project. A primary step in the process to properly dispose of surplus Municipal lands includes the survey of applicable lands and register of an accurate survey, identifying the Parts to which the surplus and sale apply and including any other registered documents such as easements on title that affect the transfer and/or subsequent operation of the property in question. DISCUSSION A geothermal waterfurnace heating system is one that includes geothermal lines or beds that extend under the surface of the ground and are heated by the earth's temperature. The current VCC geothermal waterfurnace system includes numerous beds that extend north from the VCC and run underneath the adjacent Vienna Community Park. The VCCRF is to be used to cover operating and capital costs attributed directly to the VCC structure. Due to the age of the geothermal waterfurnace system at the VCC, its replacement has been identified for a number of years as an upcoming capital expenditure to be funded from the VCCRF. Staff have obtained a pair of quotes for a replacement HVAC system: 1 i Replacement with a new geothermal waterfurnace system 2) Replacement with a natural gas system with standard A/C Geothermal Waterfurnace Staff have obtained a 2021 quote from Koolen Electric for replacement of the geothermal waterfurnace system. The cost is $41,985-$51,985+HST, depending on the complexity of the system, and can be funded in whole by the VCCRF. A replacement geothermal system would be able to use the existing lines under the Vienna Community Park. Natural Gas with Standard A/C Staff have obtained a 2021 quote from Koolen Electric for the install of a new natural gas furnace system with standard air conditioning. The cost is $49,485+HST and can be funded in whole by the VCCRF. A new natural gas system would require the removal of the geothermal lines from the VCC and their subsequent flushing, capping, and decommissioning. The move to a natural gas system would make the potential disposition of the VCC a simpler process. If the existing geothermal system was replaced anew, any sale of the VCC would have to note an easement over the Vienna Community Park lands due to the operational status of the geothermal lines. An easement for geothermal heating lines on the Vienna Community Park lands would negatively impact the Municipality's ability to improve and enhance the Vienna Community Park within the scope of its Canada Healthy Communities Initiative application, if successful. Staff recommend a move to a natural gas system. A move to a natural gas system can be funded through the VCCRF, would simplify any future disposition process, and would unencumber any current or future grant applications pertaining to the Vienna Community Park. It is also expected that any cost attributed to a new HVAC system would capitalize back into the value of the VCC and potentially garner a higher value during any future disposition process. RECOMMENDATION THAT Report CAO-20/21 re Vienna Community Centre HVAC Replacement be received for information; 2. AND THAT Council provide staff direction. PoTloffi ��Avf REPORT AMEX �E&KjtsLy J16" TO-. Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Thomas Thayer, CMO, CAOICIerk DATE: July 15, 2021 REPORT: CAO-21/21 SUBJECT: COVID-19 MUNICIPAL REOPENING PLAN BACKGROUND: On March 21, 2020 at 11:00 am, the Elgin County Warden, along with Mayors from the City of St. Thomas, Municipality of Bayham, Municipality of Central Elgin, Township of Southwold, Municipality of Dutton-Dunwich and the Township of Malahide each declared a local State of Emergency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic developments and to draw attention to Public Health recommendations. Over the course of the following 14 months, the Province has enacted three lockdowns and/or Stay -at -Home Orders that have affected how the Municipality operates. On April 8, 2021, the Province declared a State of Emergency and Stay -at -Home Order for a period of four weeks. This Order has since been extended by a combined four -week period and, as of the drafting of this Report, is expected to lapse on June 2, 2021. On April 16, 2021, outdoor recreational amenities were required to close and residents were to remain at home except for essential purposes, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for outdoor exercise, or for work that cannot be done remotely. On May 20, 2021, the Province issued an Order -in -Council that stated select outdoor amenities including parks and recreational areas may open if physical distancing can be maintained and no greater than five individuals gather in groups. And on June 30, 2021, the Province of Ontario entered Phase 2 of its Provincial Reopening Plan, with the potential for entering Phase 3 on July 21, 2021. DISCUSSION In response to the phased Provincial Reopening, Staff have been discussing reopening procedures across Elgin County with other Elgin County lower tier municipal partners to gauge their approach and determine what may be the best process for Bayham. Based on these discussions and in the context of continuing Provincial health guidelines and the Provincial Reopening Plan, staff are recommending the following approach for reopening: State of Emergency Declaration Also and as a to -be -determined item is the rescission of the State of Emergency as issued on March 21, 2020. Elgin County municipal partners have commenced a discussion pertaining to the rescission of the Order to ensure it is done in a consistent manner across the County as a whole. Municipal Office As it pertains to the Municipal office and in discussion with the Treasurer who oversees front- line administrative function, Staff recommend the following approach: August 3, 2021 — Municipal office reopens by appointment only. Appointments will be spaced at pre -determined intervals to ensure safety of residents and staff. August 9, 2021 — Staff who have been working remotely will begin reinstatement at the office and/or other Municipal facility as necessary. September 7, 2021 — Municipal office reopens to "full" service. September 2021 — If permitted under Provincial regulation, a return to in -person Council meetings will be sought with all of Council and applicable staff in attendance, likely for the 2nd September 2021 meeting. It should be noted that the Municipal Council Chambers does not currently have the technological capacity to facilitate hybrid Council meetings so meetings would be held wholly in -person with no livestream option. Also, to coincide with a return to in - person Council meetings, Committees and sitting Members will be advised of imminent return to in -person Committee meetings, where needed, schedule(s) to be determined. Municipal Facilities Municipal parks and outdoors public spaces have already reopened as of May 20, 2021. Museums are specifically identified in Phase 3 of the Provincial Reopening Plan. In accordance, the Marine Museum and Lighthouse are scheduled to reopen on July 22, 2021, subject to Phase 3 coming into effect as planned on July 21, 2021. Any expedite or delay to this date will equally affect the scheduled reopening of the Marine Museum and Lighthouse. In light of the June 17, 2021 Council resolution to declare the Vienna Community Centre (VCC) surplus to the needs of the Municipality, Staff recommend that the VCC not reopen for lease or events at this time. Staff also recommend that the Straffordville Community Centre not reopen for lease or events for the balance of 2021 so Staff can begin to address on -site requirements as a lead up to expansion and rehabilitation in 2022 through the ICIP CCR grant for same. The only exception to this recommendation pertains to the potential for a Federal election to be called Fall 2021. Staff have been in contact with the riding's electoral Returning Officer and are willing to work with them to conduct a smooth election should one be called. RECOMMENDATION THAT Report CAO-21/21 re COVID-19 Municipal Reopening Plan be received for information. ?'Submitted by: Tho elk CMO CAOICIe k Ttw�� TO: Mayor & Members of Council REPORT �MAI FROM: Thomas Thayer, CMO, CA01Clerk DATE: July 15, 2021 REPORT: CAO-22/21 SUBJECT: CANADIAN COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION FUND APPLICATION BACKGROUND The Canadian Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) aims to help communities across Canada build and improve community infrastructure projects so they can rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CCRF is looking to invest $500 million over two years nationally in support of not -for -profit organizations, municipalities, community groups, and Indigenous communities with respect to the following ventures: Build new community infrastructure and revitalize existing assets Bring people back to public spaces safely and health measures ease Create jobs and stimulate local economies. The CCRF will provide funding to projects that: adapt community spaces and assets so that they may be used safely in accordance with local public -health guidelines build or improve community infrastructure to encourage Canadians to re-engage in and explore their communities and regions Application review is on an ongoing basis. Applications received before end of day on July 23, 2021 will be reviewed first for suitability and fit. DISCUSSION The Municipality actively applies for grant funding to assist in the provision and upgrade of infrastructure and recreation services in the municipality to help offset any necessity to utilize tax levies or reserves. Based on the criteria and priorities of CCRF funding, Staff are seeking Council support to submit a CCRF application to upgrade the exterior of the Port Burwell Historic Lighthouse. The current exterior cladding is vinyl and is wearing and susceptible to water intrusion, requiring full replacement. Historically, the Port Burwell Lighthouse was constructed in 1840 and is the oldest wooden lighthouse on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie and one of the oldest surviving in Canada. On October 22, 1985, the Village of Port Burwell designated the Port Burwell Lighthouse as a property of architectural and historical value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, SO c122. Council has addressed and has been supportive of this matter previously, having received Report CAO 44/19, which identified that an application had been submitted to the Canadian Experiences Fund for $184,000 for the works An updated quote has been provided by Franklin Construction. This project fits within the scope of the CCRF criteria as it involves the revitalization of existing assets and visual improvement of a cultural, main -street asset in Port Burwell that also acts as a historic beacon and tourist attraction for the community. From a funding perspective, the CCRF offers 75/25 funding, where the recipient organization would have to fund 25 percent of a successful project. If successful, Bayham would have to fund approximately $45,000. This amount can be funded through Working Capital. RECOMMENDATION I THAT Report CAO-22/21 re: Canadian Community Revitalization Fund Application be received for information; AND THAT Council support an application to the CCRF for the upgrade of the exterior of the Port Burwell Historic Lighthouse.
