Museum.
CARRIED
Mayor Ens welcomed members of Museums Bayham Committee and subcommittees and
provided an overview of the purpose of the meeting as being an opportunity for discussion
regarding plans for the Edison Museum and artifacts for 2016.
Committee members spoke of the desire for a potential new building to showcase more of the
rich history of the area along with the Edison connection as well as other inventors or well-
known individuals who had a connection to Bayham.
Council provided response acknowledging the importance of the Edison connection as well as
noting low attendance and the impact on operating cost as well as the fact that a new building is
not feasible at the present time. Council offered various suggestions for consideration such as
static displays of most recent/relevant items, billboard, walking trail in park that would feature
information, displays at locations in Vienna and any other thoughts that the Museums Bayham
Committee may have.
Additional comments from Council members included the benefits of static displays which would
provide an immediate solution to preserve history as well as financial responsibility. Council
also stressed to the Committee members that closing of the building was not an act of Council
but due to a Do Not Occupy order following an Engineers report.
2016 Council Minutes January 28, 2016
In response to questions regarding the Engineer's report, the CAO explained liability concerns

Council.
Moved by: Councillor Ketchabaw
Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Southwick

TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Randy White, Fire Chief/By-law Officer
DATE: February 18, 2016
REPORT: FR-02/16 FILE NO. C07
SUBJECT: BREATHING AIR COMPRESSOR & FILL STATION
BACKGROUND:
The Port Burwell and Straffordville firefighters have been raising funds with the intent to
purchase the capability to refill the air cylinders used on fire service Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA). Currently, Bayham Fire is required to transport empty cylinders to the
Tillsonburg Fire Station for filling. Bayham currently pays Tillsonburg Fire approximately $1300
annually for access to the equipment, plus time and mileage of the firefighter executing the refill.
Though the service fee would no longer be necessary, the cost of the annual mandated air
quality testing and compressor servicing is about $1500. No other capital or expected ongoing
costs would be expended by the Municipality for the life of the unit, estimated to be anywhere
from 15 to 25 years.
DISCUSSION:
The Bayham Firefighters Associations would like to donate the proceeds of their fund raising to
the Municipality of Bayham to procure the equipment. The total amount of the funds including
donations already in Municipal reserves, is approximately $40,700. The installed cost of the
compressor and filling station has been quoted at $41,322 (+ non-rebated HST). The cost
differential would be made up by standard operating equipment budget. The Associations have
researched alternative equipment vendors and expenditures and have opted for a Jordair
MiniKat6 system from Levitt Safety.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report FR-02/16 be received for information;
2. AND THAT Council accepts the donation of approximately $30,100 from the Port
Burwell and Straffordville Firefighters Associations, combine it with donations
previously submitted, and authorize the sole-source procurement of the MiniKat6
SCBA cylinder refill station as quoted by Levitt Safety;
3. AND THAT staff handle the procurement, installation, and commissioning of the
equipment.

DATE: February 8, 2016
REPORT: PS-03/16 FILE NO. C-07
SUBJECT: RFT 16-01 PUBLIC WORKS/WASTEWATER STORAGE BUILDING
BACKGROUND:
In the 2016 Capital Budget Council approved Item No. WW-3 in the amount of$32,000 for the
Public Works/Wastewater Storage Building to be located at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (1
Chatham St.) in Port Burwell. The structure is designed by Centric Engineering and consists of
800 sq.ft of pole barn style construction with steel roofing and cladding, one man door, two role
up garage doors and concrete flooring.
DISCUSSION:
The results of RFT 16-01 Public Works Wastewater Storage Building, which closed on February
8, 2016, are as follows:
1. Rainbow Painting and Decorating Inc. -- $34,312.64 (HST included)
2. Oscar Temple and Sons --- $35,570.14 (HST included)
3. Rail Tech Enterprises --- $40,628,02 (HST included)
4. Grassmere Construction --- $47,449.00 (HST included)
5. Reid and Deleye Contractors --- $49,946.00 (HST included)
6. PK Construction --- $51,096.34 (HST included)
7. Aveiro Contractors --- $60,929.60 (HST included)
8. Graceview Enterprises --- $77,405.00 (HST included)
Based on low bid and successful completion of similar size and type of structures, staff
recommends Rainbow Painting and Decorating Inc. be awarded the project.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report PS-03/16 re RFT 16-01 Public Works/Wastewater Storage Building be
received for information;
2. AND THAT Council award the construction of the Public Works/Wastewater Storage
Building as set out in RFT 16-01 to Rainbow Painting and Decorating Inc. for a total
price of$34,312.64.

SUBJECT: SURVEYING SERVICES — DEAD END ROADS/TURNAROUNDS
BACKGROUND:
In the 2016 Capital Budget process council approved item PW-6 in the amount of$80,000 for
surveying of dead end roads and construction of turn arounds. This report is bringing forward
information regarding quotations and a recommendation for the surveying component of the said
project.
DISCUSSION:
Staff obtained quotes for surveying services from Kim Husted and AGM surveyors. The quotes
received are as follows;
1. Kim Husted $10,458 + HST
2. AGM $9,960 + HST
This would not typically require Council approval, pursuant to the Procurement By-law, however
in this instance staff respectfully recommend utilizing the services of Kim Husted which crosses
the $10,000 amount.
Given the fact that Kim Husted's firm has already completed site visits with staff (x13), coupled
with Kim Husted's thorough knowledge of the scope and limits of work and area staff would
recommend utilizing the services of Kim Husted's as it is a more efficient utilization of human
resources and funds. AGM still requires staff tours of the site locations with municipal staff prior
to commencement of work.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. THAT Report PS-04/16 re: surveying services of dead end roads be received for
information;
2. AND THAT Council award the surveying services to Kim Husted for a total price of
$10,458 +HST

in the amount of $94800.00 (plus HST) to commence work on or before May 2016 and
to complete work on or before December 20, 2016.
DISCUSSION:
The engineer's estimated cost for construction of the works as contained within the report is
$70,650.00. Section 59(1) of the Drainage Act states that where the contract price exceeds
133% of the engineer's estimate of the contract price, Council of the initiating municipality is
required to call a meeting to deal with the necessary modifications. The lowest tender bid
amount was $49, 807.69 which is under the Engineers estimate; therefore the tender of the
lowest bidder can be accepted.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Staff Report DS-06/16 be received:
2. THAT Council accept the tender for provision of drainage works set out in the Form of
Tender for the Baynor Road Drain, as submitted by PBR Excavating Inc., in the amount
of$49,807.69 (excluding HST), with work to commence on or before February 24, 2016

f) ELGIN COUNTY SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In response to correspondence received regarding the Elgin County Shoreline
Management Plan staff reviewed the process and timeline in the development of the
Plan. The Plan began with a collaborative by the four Conservation Authorities within
Elgin County, shoreline municipalities and the County of Elgin beginning in 2013 to
update the science within the Plan. After much work, a consultant was hired in July
2014 and three public consultations were held in August 2014. The Elgin County
Shoreline Management Plan was adopted by the LPRCA Board on November 4th, 2015
and has since been posted on the LPRCA website.
The Study notes that the shoreline within Elgin County is subject to risk of erosion. The
policies within the Shoreline Management Plan have not changed but the consultant
provided updated science and maps regarding erosion rates to incorporate into the
Plan. Some members objected to the Study and its findings stating that the study
contained predetermined outcomes, old data and restrictive conclusions that lack a
balance between conservation and landowners. Therefore, a motion was tabled to
reconsider the Board's previous decision.

RE: Resolution Requesting that Ontario Cancel RFP for Added Wind Power Generation
Dear Premier Wynne,
Please be advised that the Council for the Township of Wainfleet, at its meeting held on January 26th,
2016, passed the following resolution:
WHEREAS the Independent Electrical System Operator, under Ministerial Directive, issued an
RFP for additional renewable energy generation including 300 MW of wind generation and is
considering issuing further RFPs for 2016;
AND WHEREAS the December 2015 Auditor General's report confirmed that Ontario is
generating surplus electricity with capacity increasing by 19% in the last 8 years while demand
fell by 7.5% in the same period. Additional capacity is not required at this time;
AND WHEREAS the Auditor General also reported that the existing Feed In Tariff (FIT)
contracts mean that Ontario power consumers will pay a premium of $9.2 billion for renewable
power with wind power pricing that is double the prices paid in other jurisdictions;
AND WHEREAS the Ontario Chamber of Commerce reports that the escalating price of
electricity is undermining their members' capacity to grow, hire new workers, and attract
investment, and that Ontario's electricity costs are among the highest in North America, making
the province uncompetitive for business growth;
AND WHEREAS adding wind to Ontario's grid drives CO2 emissions higher. The Ontario
Society of Professional Engineers estimated that wind with natural gas backup produces base-
load electricity at about 200 grams of CO2 emissions/kWh compared with the current system
average level of 40 grams CO2 emissions/kWh;
AND WHEREAS Nature Canada reports that wind power facilities have a substantial negative
impact on endangered species including migrating bats and birds as well as destroying habitat
for species at risk;
AND WHEREAS wind power is an intermittent source of electricity generation meaning that it
cannot be used to replace dependable generating capacity without natural gas as a back-up;

Page 2
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Township of Wainfleet
requests:
1. That the Province of Ontario exercise its rights in Section 4.13 (12) of the current LRP I
RFP to `cancel the process at any stage and for any reason' and not issue any new wind
generation contracts;
2. That the Province of Ontario hold off any further renewable procurement process until
the capacity is actually required and focus on sources that will actually reduce carbon
emissions;
3. That the IESO review the outstanding FIT contracts that have not achieved `Commercial
Operation', and vigorously enforce the terms of the FIT contract with a view to
eliminating further expensive wind generation capacity being added to the grid.
Council has requested that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to all 444 municipalities in Ontario for
their endorsement and support, as well as to local MPP's, the Progressive Conservative Party of
Ontario and the Ontario NDP.
On behalf of Council, thank you for your consideration of this request.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE
The Ontario Energy Board is holding a hearing to consider what
mechanisms may be used to recover the costs of expanding natural gas
service to Ontario communities that are currently not served.
Learn more. Have your say.
The Ontario Energy Board is commencing a hearing on its own motion to consider what mechanisms
may be used to recover the costs of expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities that do not
currently have access to natural gas.
In July 2015, Union Gas Limited filed an application (EB-2015-0179)to expand natural gas service to
certain rural and remote communities.That application included a proposal to have existing Union Gas
Limited customers pay a portion of the costs to connect new customers.The Ontario Energy Board has
determined that the requests made by Union Gas Limited in that application raise issues that may be
common to any entity that wishes to provide natural gas service to communities that do not currently
have access to natural gas service.The Ontario Energy Board will therefore address these issues through
a generic proceeding.
The Ontario Energy Board will put the hearing of Union Gas Limited's application (EB-2015-0179)on hold
until the generic hearing is complete.
In the generic proceeding,the Ontario Energy Board will consider possible alternative ratemaking
frameworks to provide natural gas service to Ontario communities that do not currently have access
to natural gas.The OEB plans to seek input from intervenors on exactly what the issues should be.
However, broadly speaking the OEB intends to review the following issues:
1. Should the OEB implement new ratemaking mechanisms including changes to current economic
tests to encourage utilities to expand natural gas distribution service to new communities? If so,
what should these new mechanisms be?
2. Should the OEB consider imposing conditions or making other changes to Municipal Franchise
Agreements and Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to reduce barriers to natural
gas expansion?
3. Does the OEB have the authority to require the ratepayers of one utility to subsidize the costs of
another utility to expand into new communities? If so, under what circumstances(if any) would this
be appropriate?
To see the detailed draft issues list, please select the file number EB-2016-0004 on the OEB website:
www.ontarioenergyboard.ca/notice
THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB)will hold a public hearing to consider the kind of cost recovery mechanisms that may be
appropriate for rural and remote community expansion projects in Ontario.We will hear arguments from parties involved in
the process and will decide what, if any, new mechanisms are appropriate.
The OEB will adopt into the record of this proceeding, all evidence filed in EB-2015-0179 that is relevant to the issues to
be determined for the generic hearing.The OEB will provide an opportunity for the filing of further evidence in subsequent
procedural orders.
The OEB will deem the intervenors in the EB-2015-0179 case to be intervenors in this generic hearing and grants to any
such intervenors the same cost eligibility status as was granted in EB-2015-0179.
The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency.We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to
promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost.

Draft Issues List
EB-2016-0004
1. Does the OEB have the legal authority to establish a framework whereby the
customers of one utility subsidize the expansion undertaken by another
distributor into communities that do not have natural gas service?
2. Based on a premise that the OEB has the legal authority described in Issue #1,
what are the merits of this approach? How should these contributions be treated
for ratemaking purposes?
3. Should the OEB consider exemptions or changes to the EBO 188 guidelines for
rural and remote community expansion projects?
o Should the OEB consider projects that have a portfolio profitability index
(PI) less than 1.0 and individual projects within a portfolio that have a PI
lower than 0.8?
o What costs should be included in the economic assessment for providing
natural gas service to communities and how are they to be determined
and calculated.
o What, if any, amendments to the EBO 188 Guidelines would be required
as a result of the inclusion of any costs identified above?
o What would be the criteria for the projects/communities that would be
eligible for such exemptions? What, if any, other public interest factors
should be included as part of this criteria? How are they to be determined?
4. Should the OEB allow existing natural gas distributors to establish surcharges
from customers of new communities to improve the feasibility of potential
community expansion projects? If so, what approaches are appropriate and over
what period of time?
5. Are there other ratemaking or rate recovery approaches that the OEB should
consider?
6. Should the OEB allow for the recovery of the revenue requirement associated
with community expansion costs in rates that are outside the OEB approved
incentive ratemaking framework prior to the end of any incentive regulation plan
term once the assets are used and useful?
Ontario Energy Board EB-2016-0004
7. Should the OEB consider imposing conditions or making other changes to
Municipal Franchise Agreements and Certificates of Public Convenience and
Necessity to reduce barriers to natural gas expansion?
8. What types of processes could be implemented to facilitate the introduction of
new entrants to provide service to communities that do not have access to
natural gas. What are the merits of these processes and what are the existing
barriers to implementation? (e.g. Issuance of Request for Proposals to enter into
franchise agreements)

The heart as symbol is everywhere in February-for Valentine's Day, because of Heart&Stroke Month and
as part of many fundraisers.This emphasis makes it a good time to reflect on the client experience in The
Livingston Centre and in other MSC locations(Tillsonburg Town Centre, Norfolk Help Centre,out of
Community Employment Services in Woodstock). Executive Director Geoff Reekie has been using his
newcomer status to assess how MSC services are experienced by our customers using the PaJMa model as a
framework(see http://hir.uoit.ca/cms/?q=node/16) -something he shared at the SWLHIN Regional Board
meeting at The Livingston Centre on January 19th. What he has found, by spending time in workshops,
classes,the Resource Centre and talking to clients, is that agency personnel (and MSC's colleagues in service
delivery) are'walking the talk'of integrated service delivery-the ideal of how'one-stop shops'and
'community hubs'should operate. He has witnessed,first hand,clients entering one service area and after
receiving that first service being walked over to other programs,agencies or contacts as needs have been
identified (e.g., housing,transportation, mental health,etc.).As our colleagues in the Community Health
Centres say,"everyone matters."While agency personnel remain committed to the organization's Vision
(Embracing Personal Independence "Celebrating a Caring Community) and'big ideas'(like effective
community hubs and transportation services)there is the knowledge and experience to know that details
often make the difference. On that note,there is progress on the transportation file.Community

County of Elgin and Municipality of Bayham
PROPOSED EDISON DRIVE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, VIENNA
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
NOTICE OF PROJECT CHANGES AND PUBLIC MEETING
A Notice of Project Initiation and Consultation for the PROPOSED EDISON DRIVE ACCESS ROAD,
VIENNA, was issued on January 23, 2015, by the County of Elgin for a proposed new municipal access
road to connect the Edison Drive area north of Big Otter Creek in Vienna, Municipality of Bayham,to Light
Line, located north of Vienna. During 2015, engineering and technical studies were undertaken for the
proposed access road, as part of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) planning
process.While these studies have indicated that the proposed road is feasible,the road construction cost
is nearly double the original budget.Several factors,including soil conditions,topographic constraints and
extensive archaeological assessment requirements, have increased the proposed budget. As a result,
other alternatives are being considered.
The Edison Drive area north of Big Otter Creek is now connected to Vienna by the Vienna Bridge (also
known as the Edison Drive Bridge), located on Edison Drive. This 1907 steel truss bridge was moved to
the current location in 1944. The bridge is owned and maintained by the County of Elgin, and has a
restricted 5 tonne load capacity rating that does not permit large trucks, including some emergency
vehicles, to cross the bridge. Larger farm vehicles are also restricted from using the bridge by both the
reduced load rating and size limitations imposed by the steel truss bridge structure.
A pre-fabricated panel bridge has been proposed as a cost-effective replacement.The existing steel truss
bridge would be removed and the concrete abutments modified. A new panel bridge would be installed
in sections from the south side.Bridge removal,abutment modification and replacement bridge installation
is expected to require about two months, and would occur during the summer or early fall. During bridge
replacement, properties located on Edison Drive north of Big Otter Creek would be provided with a
temporary road access along the section of Creek Road now used as a farm lane. A private lane would
be temporarily utilized, for access around a section of Creek Road that has been closed to traffic.The
temporary Creek Road access provisions will be utilized by approximately three residences, a farm
operation and agricultural lots along Edison Drive. Any special access needs will be addressed by the
County prior to construction. A Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report of the existing bridge is being prepared
as part of the Class EA.
The proposed project is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment(Class EA).The County of Elgin and Municipality of Bayham are the project proponents,with
the County of Elgin as the lead proponent. The proposed replacement bridge will be owned and
maintained by the County of Elgin. The project name has been changed from PROPOSED EDISON
DRIVE ACCESS ROAD,VIENNA,to PROPOSED EDISON DRIVE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT,VIENNA.
PUBLIC INPUT AND COMMENT ARE INVITED, for incorporation into the planning and design of this
project, and will be received until THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2016.
A PUBLIC MEETING to discuss the proposed project will be held on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016,
at 7:00 p.m., at the BAYHAM MUNICIPAL OFFICE, located at 9344 Plank Road, Straffordville. All local
residents and any other persons with an interest in this project are invited to attend.
For more information on this project and the Class EA planning process, contact the Project Engineer.

Sent: Friday,January 29, 2016 11:34 AM
Subject: City of Waukesha Water Proposal: Great Lakes—St. Lawrence River Sustainable Water
Resources Agreement(the Agreement) Regional Review Process
In accordance with the Agreement signed by the Great Lakes Premiers and Governors in 2005,the State
of Wisconsin submitted the City of Waukesha water proposal application to the Great Lakes—St.
Lawrence River Water Resources Regional Body(Regional Body) on January 7, 2016. The City of
Waukesha, Wisconsin has applied to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR)to divert up
to an annual average of 10.1 million gallons (38.2 million litres) of water per day from Lake Michigan.
Waukesha is located outside the Great Lakes Basin but within a county that straddles the basin
boundary.Therefore,the diversion potentially qualifies for a 'straddling county' exception to the ban on
diversions under the Agreement.
Ontarians have an opportunity to comment on the Waukesha proposal through the Regional Body's
public participation process. A two-month public comment period began on January 12, 2016 and will
close on March 14, 2016. Only comments received within this time period will be considered by the
Regional Body. We encourage stakeholders and the public to submit comments through one of the
methods (email, mail or online) identified on the Waukesha diversion website
(www.waukeshadiversion.org).
The next Regional Body and Compact Council meeting is scheduled for February 17th and 18th in
Waukesha.The meeting on the February 17th is open to the public (includes site tour, City of Waukesha
briefing, information session) and the meeting on February 18th includes additional public information
meetings and a public hearing. Please refer to the Waukesha diversion website
(www.waukeshadiversion.org)for more information on participating in these meetings.
In addition to the Regional Body's public participation process,the Government of Ontario will be
holding an information session via webinar on Thursday February 11th,to provide interested
stakeholders with background information on the Agreement and its provisions. If you are interested in
participating in the webinar, please contact mnrwaterpolicy@ontario.ca.
After the public comment period closes,the Regional Body will meet to consider a Declaration of Finding
on whether the proposal meets the provisions of the Agreement.
We encourage you to regularly visit the Waukesha Diversion website for updates on comments and
access to other resources as they become available.
If you have any questions regarding Ontario's process for reviewing the City of Waukesha Water
Proposal, please contact mnrwaterpolicy@ontario.ca.

Subject: Community Transportation Pilot Program (Tillsonburg) Update
Good morning,
The Community Transportation Pilot Program Steering Committee would like to update you on its activities and
upcoming programs.
In December of 2015, a partnership between The Tillsonburg & District Multi-Service Centre, Community Living
Tillsonburg and Why Wait Taxi developed a low-fare taxi program, called the "Taxi-Bus", for Tillsonburg
workers and seniors. This program offers a shared taxi ride among residents for the low fare of$3 each.
Residents are asked to register with the Community Transportation Coordinator and for information on pick-up
and drop-off locations (John Preston, 519-842-9000, extension 257).
Since starting in August of last year, the Community Transportation Coordinator has been networking with
various agencies across the County, looking for potential opportunities and partnerships among transportation
providers. As a result, a Transportation Roundtable is currently being organized for February 2016 that will
bring various agencies together to share service models, determine needs, and create solutions to the
challenge of providing transportation to clients and residents.
Also, the Steering Committee has recently joined the Oxford Workforce Development Partnership, the United
Way Oxford, and other community partners to promote the Regional Rideshare Program. This program is a
web-based application that allows participants from six counties in Southwestern Ontario to find and share
rides to work, community events, medical appointments, and so on for no fee. The Coordinator will be reaching
out to agencies and organizations over the next few months to demonstrate the program's capabilities for staff
and clients. If you are interested in a presentation, please contact John Preston at 519-842-9000, extension
257.
These projects and more are part of the larger picture currently being developed by the Committee. T:GO! is a
central coordination, information and basic referral office for residents of the community, with the goal of
becoming the central transportation resource for Oxford County. Residents can call in to find out what options
are available, including ridesharing, agency referrals, and current promotions offered by transportation
providers.
T:GO! is also the central coordination point for a community bus program in Tillsonburg, that will operate on a
fixed-flex system getting residents quickly to their destinations, while offering adaptable routes for residents
with mobility issues. The anticipated start date for this program is April 2016. For more information, contact
John Preston at 519-842-9000, extension 257.
To keep up-to-date on what is happening with the Community Transportation Pilot Program in Tillsonburg,
follow the Transportation link on The Livingston Centre website (www.thelivingstoncentre.com), and on
Facebook under T:GO

John Magill Preston

Attention: Organizations that can help raise awareness about Ontario
tax credits and benefits and the need to file tax returns
Re: Request to Display Information
about Ontario's Tax Credits and Benefits
The Ontario government provides a number of tax credits and benefits to eligible individuals and
families, including single-parent families and seniors, through the personal income tax system.
To receive these tax credits and benefits, eligible Ontarians must file a tax return. Even if a person
receives social assistance or didn't earn income, filing a tax return could help them get money
back.
I'm sending you a supply of brochures and a poster to help educate people during tax season and
would greatly appreciate it if you could make these products available to your clients. The materials
were designed to help people understand the need to file a tax return to receive the benefits for
which they may be eligible and to provide them with our website address for more information.
Learn more about Ontario tax credits and benefits at ontario.ca/taxcredits or call 1-866-668-8297.

Dear Mayor:
I am pleased to share news with you regarding the 2016 Premier's Award for Agri-Food
Innovation Excellence program. I encourage you to share this information throughout your
municipality.
The Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence program was created to recognize and
foster the spirit of innovation that thrives in Ontario's agricultural sector. It encourages the
development of rural communities, farms, agri-food processors and agri-food organizations by
adding value to existing products, creating jobs and driving economic growth.
Each year the program recognizes up to 45 award winning innovations across the province and
awards them with $5,000 each. In addition, there is a Premier's Award valued at $75,000, a
Minister's Award valued at $50,000, and three Leaders in Innovation awards valued at $25,000
each. All award recipients receive a plaque and gate sign, and they can also use the Premier's
Award program wordmark.
Primary producers, processors and agri-food organizations are invited to submit applications
between February 12, 2016, and April 15, 2016. Details on eligibility, innovation categories,
assessment criteria, and the application and selection process can be found in the enclosed 2016
Program Guidebook and Application Form or at www.ontario.ca/agrifoodinnovation.
I ask that you encourage outstanding agriculture and agri-food innovators throughout your
municipality to apply. The deadline to submit applications is 5 p.m. on April 15, 2016. Should
you require additional information please contact the Agricultural Information Contact Centre at
1-877-424-1300 or email ag.info.omafra@ontario.ca.
I have also enclosed a copy of last year's program brochure which highlights 2015 Premier's
Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence recipients.

Subject: Request for council resolutions to support AMO/LAS request for broader municipal investment
powers
To the attention of the Head of Council and Council:
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario and LAS ask for your council's support of the attached
resolution which asks for the province to change the current Municipal Act investment regulation to
allow municipalities to invest consistent with the 'Prudent Investor Standard', if such investments are
through the One Investment Program.
The province has recently conferred 'Prudent Investor' status on the City of Toronto to enable them to
have greater diversification in portfolio management and asset selection, and we strongly believe that
other Ontario municipalities should be granted similar investment powers if their investments are
managed through professional investment management options, such as the One Investment Program.
AMO, LAS, and the Municipal Finance Officers Association of Ontario (MFOA) have lobbied the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing for broader investment powers for more than 4 years, with the issue
now being considered as part of the Municipal Act review. We however want this change to be made
sooner than the completion of the Municipal Act review, and to achieve this we ask for your support of
this resolution.
If you have any questions about our request or the attached resolution, please contact Jason Hagan, LAS
Program Manager, at jhagan@amo.on.ca or 416-971-9856 x320.

We were very disappointed with the rejection of our two recent applications for
infrastructure funding and, as you can see from the attached motion, our Council is
asking that use of the current scoring indicators be discontinued.
Municipalities that have significant debt and few reserves have not planned to maintain
their infrastructure. Awarding a high score to a municipality with a low net financial
asset per household just encourages continued poor planning.
Also, we note that the scoring indicators for a municipality are not likely to change
anytime soon meaning that the same municipalities will continue to score well and
qualify repeatedly for funding.
By copy of this letter, we ask other municipalities and groups to support our request that
all future infrastructure funding be distributed to all municipalities utilizing a fair and
equitable formula.
Yours truly

WHEREAS the Province of Ontario recently scored applications for two major
infrastructure programs, the Small Communities Fund (SCF) and the Ontario
Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and ranked municipalities based on their
economic conditions and fiscal situations;
AND WHEREAS some of the indicators used to score municipalities actually penalize a

AND WHEREAS municipalities have little ability to alter their circumstances and
improve their score or ranking;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Town of Carleton Place hereby calls
upon Minister Jeff Leal to discontinue the use of the current evaluation criteria that

Subject: Park availability on July 13th
Hi Paul,
I'm on a committee that is a partnership of the Ontario Early Years Centre, Elgin-St.Thomas Public
Health, Elgin County Library, as well as a number of other agencies.
Each year we bring a "Teddy Bear Picnic" to various locations throughout the County, and the group is
interested in holding the East End picnic in Straffordville, as we did last year. The picnic is a free event
aimed at young children and their families.
I was wondering if the park is available for use on Wednesday,July 13th. I am also interested in the
availability of the community centre- I wasn't sure of the timeline for renovations, reopening, etc. I
believe in other years it was used in the case of rain.
Thanks,
Susan.

FROM: Lorne James, Treasurer
DATE: February 18, 2016
REPORT: TR-03/2016 FILE NO.
SUBJECT: OPP FUNDING MODELS
BACKGROUND:
In August of 2014, the provincial government released a new billing model for municipalities that
contract with the OPP for services starting January 1, 2015. The new billing model consists of
two components; a base policing cost (fixed) and a reactive call cost (variable). The base
policing costs are costs such as capital, crime prevention, procedure policing, and officer
training and admin duties. Reactive call costs are costs such as first response calls, follow up to
incidents, emergency response calls, and other matters as they happen.
New Model Costs
The Municipality's costs for OPP under the old billing system in 2014 was $771,988. The
municipality's costs for OPP under the new billing system in 2015 and 2016 is $900,948 and
$918,549 respectively. The cost per property is $285.96 (2014), $325.96 (2015) and $325.96
(2016). The new billing model has set a maximum increase (decrease) per household at a
capped amount of$40.00 per property. The increase per property from 2015 to 2016 is zero as
the Municipality added 54 properties. The increase from 2015-2016 represents 0.49% of the
Municipality's 2015 tax levy.
Other Changes in the OPP Model
Staff posed the following questions to the Elgin OPP:
1) How are satellite police stations factored in the costs for OPP services?
a. For example, does Bayham pay the costs of the office in Dutton-Dunwich?
With the new funding model there is no breakdown for individual facilities. The base portion of
the model covers the costs associated for facilities and every municipality pays a portion based
on a cost per property. In reality every contract in the province is paying a portion of the costs
for all OPP facilities including satellite offices. It is important to distinguish between satellite
offices and Community Policing Offices (CPOs). Satellite offices are maintained by the OPP and
CPOs are supplied and maintained by the municipality. The Dutton-Dunwich office is a satellite
office.
2) How does the OPP verify the hours spent in Bayham and location of OPP?
a. Is GIS/GPS utilized or just call sheets?
With the new billing model the OPP is migrating to "borderless policing". The technology will
allow the dispatcher to send the closest available car to the call. This will impact Bayham, West
Elgin, and Dutton-Dunwich the most as the Municipality may see officers from Oxford or Norfolk
Detachments attending calls in Bayham and officers from Chatham-Kent and Middlesex
attending calls for West Elgin or Dutton-Dunwich. The technology uses GPS to allow the
dispatcher and the front line Sgts to have a screen that shows the location of all the cruisers
working and allows the OPP to send the right car to the call for more efficiency and faster
response times. The OPP no longer track hours of service by Municipality.

REPORT: CAO-11/16
SUBJECT: INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING
BACKGROUND
As the discourse surrounding infrastructure funding heightens at both the Provincial and Federal
levels of government it is prudent to conduct an assessment of the criteria by which Bayham
specifically, and in a broader sense rural Ontario are affected by the existing Provincial and Federal
Infrastructure funding programs and the potential criteria of future funding programs.
In 2015 the Municipality of Bayham made application under two funding programs:
1) The Small Communities Fund
a. The $10-billion Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component (PTIC) provides
support for projects of national, local or regional significance. This includes the Small
Communities Fund (PTIC—SCF) that will provide $1 billion for projects in
municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents.
2) Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund
a. The Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) provides a steady source of
predictable, long-term funding infrastructure projects in small, rural and northern
communities. The fund provides $100 million per year to help small, rural and
northern communities build and repair roads, bridges and other critical
infrastructure. The money distributed to municipalities by the OCIF is split equally
into 2 streams:
i. $50 million is distributed among municipalities that have been identified
through a formula developed by the Government of Ontario
ii. $50 million is reserved for municipalities that successfully apply for funding
DISCUSSION
2015 GRANT APPLICATIONS
The Municipality of Bayham was not successful with the application component of either grant
program in 2015 for the following reasons as indicated by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food
and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), the Ministry which delivers the funding program:
Thank you for your Expression of Interest(EOl) under the second intake of the OCIF.
Unfortunately, your project proposal was not selected to move forward to the application
phase. This was a highly competitive intake. Over 360 EOls were received and all were
subject to careful consideration and evaluation. Your project proposal was not selected to
move forward primarily because other applicants with highly critical projects had more
challenging economic conditions and fiscal situations. Economic conditions and fiscal
situations were assessed using a combination of:
• total weighted property assessment per household
• median household income
• average of net financial assets (between 2010-2014)per household
• average residential property taxes, user fees and service charges (between 2010-2014)
per household as a percentage of median household income
Staff contacted OMAFRA to further discuss these criteria, as for the Ontario Community
Infrastructure Fund, the Expression of Interest submitted by the Municipality contained a `Letter of
Support' for the project from the Ministry of the Environment, which specifically noted the criticality
of the project, being the Richmond Community Water System Distribution Network Replacement
and Water Meter Upgrades.
The OCIF Expression of Interest where assessed on two elements in the following order:
1) Fiscal Screen;
2) Criticality of Project.
The above assessment elements dictate that if a Municipality is not within a certain threshold on the
Fiscal Screen, the Criticality of the Project is not considered.
To understand how the Municipality of Bayham ranked on the Fiscal Screen element staff obtained
a detailed breakdown of the assessment methodology. The OCIF Fiscal Screen, attached hereto
as Appendix 'A' provides assessment criteria and the corresponding Municipality of Bayham score
on the same. Further explanation of each assessment criteria within the Fiscal Screen is as
follows, each component indicates if staff or the Municipality can make alterations to operations to
increase funding likelihood:
1) Median Household Income — Statistics Canada
a. This indicator is outside of staff and/or municipal control
2) Weighted Assessment/Household
a. This indicator is outside of staff and/or municipal control
3) Net Financial Assets/Household
a. A weaker Net Financial Asset position for the Municipality and/or more residents
would improve the assessment criteria, however the Municipality cannot directly
affect this assessment criteria without adversely affecting the Municipality.
4) Property Taxes, User Fees, and Service Charges/Household as a % of median household
income
a. This assessment criteria is dictating to be rated higher more revenue, with the tools
provided within various legislation, must be drawn by the Municipality.
5) Total Additions and Betterments as % of Annual Amortization
a. The Municipality would need to spend equal to the annual Tangible Capital Assets
depreciation and greater to achieve a higher assessment.
i. Council has set a multi-year path for this concept however it will take time to
be implemented.
A review of the above indicates that the potential to modify operations to improve grant eligibility is
not likely possible. The one exception to this item would be the increase of user fees, which is a
direction and decision of Council.
With the Municipality of Bayham ranking 190' out of 300+ applications for$50 million, it is clear the
Municipality was not even in consideration of funding.
For the Small Communities Fund (SCF) Program, for projects of national, local or regional
significance, the Municipality was never strongly considered as the application thresholds, like
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) dictate the Municipality is not eligible for funding in needed
areas (roads and bridges) and forces the Municipality to make application based on items which
may be eligible. This methodology of funding undermines the objectivity of the Municipality of
Bayham Asset Management Plan. A fact which is substantiated by the Mowat Centre Paper,
Rebuilding Canada–A New Framework for Renewing Canada's Infrastructure:
....The federal government presents this as improving the return on taxpayer
investment, but it means provincial/territorial and local government decisions regarding
project funding are increasingly based on the degree to which they meet federal criteria
rather than whether they meet local criteria for social and economic impact.
FUTURE FUNDING PROGRAM CONSIDERATIONS
In drafting this report, staff fully understand the importance of cities as economic drivers for the
province and country and funding infrastructure in the same. Likewise, it is also respected and
appreciated the funds which have been allocated or will be allocated to local governments
dedicated to infrastructure over the next ten years, however staff would encourage Council request
the upper levels of government work with its municipal partners to identify areas where crucial rural
investment is needed and the thresholds and criteria for the same. It would respectfully be
recommended that the criteria and thresholds, noted above, respect the diversity that exists within
the municipal sector, being the opportunities and challenges that face each unique community,
especially in rural vs. urban, small vs. large, and north vs. south.
Specifically in relation to small, rural municipalities, as is outlined in the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, February 2016, pre-budget submission:
Rural infrastructure and transportation are vital to maintaining our food system. Efficient
transportation infrastructure is the key to productive supply chains. From the flow of
inputs to producers, to the delivery of products to processors and ultimately the
consumer, we rely on an effective and efficient water, road and rail transportation
system. Our energy and water infrastructure will face numerous future challenges from
the increased demand of a growing population and due to extreme weather events.
OFA stresses the importance of investments in rural transportation infrastructure.
Properly maintained roads, bridges and culverts allow farmers to transport inputs and
outputs to and from their farm businesses. Adequately funded and maintained
infrastructure is essential for farmers to do business.
Rural infrastructure is critical to the ongoing competitiveness of our farming sector and
to attracting new businesses and manufacturers to rural Ontario.
Municipal roads and bridges are essential components of Ontario's transportation
network as they connect communities, and provide access to economic opportunities.
In 2008, the infrastructure deficit was estimated to be approximately $60 billion, not including
tourism-related cultural assets, parks and recreation facilities, or the costs for social housing units,
which are valued at an additional $40 billion (Cote and Fenn, 2014). The introduction of the gas tax
in 2004 as a dedicated source of predictable long-term infrastructure funding has helped, but it has
not been enough to fill the gap. According to the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO),
Ontario's local governments would have to substantially raise property taxes over the next ten years
to meet their infrastructure commitments (AMO, 2015). The current infrastructure deficit is too vast
to be covered by municipalities on their own. In fact, the 2016 Canadian Infrastructure Report Card
found that 1/3 of municipally-owned infrastructure in Canada is at risk of rapid deterioration.
As the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) indicates Canada's rural communities are
essential to the country's economic, social and environmental well-being and the health of
Canada's urban communities is directly related to the vibrancy of our rural regions. Despite this
important role, many local governments in rural Canada face formidable challenges, including
providing adequate public infrastructure — such as roads, bridges, drinking water and public
amenities—with limited revenues and financial capacity. The federal government can play a key
role in supporting strategies to reverse this trend by avoiding a one-size fits- all approach and
recognizing rural communities' unique challenges and opportunities.
Rural Canada employs 4.9 million Canadians, 31% of the population lived in rural
Canada and generates 30% of national GDP in various sectors including
manufacturing, agriculture and transportation. Infrastructure Canada's national
economy needs all regions functioning well to operate efficiently and maximize
economic growth and improved quality of life. Predictable funding for core municipal
infrastructure in rural regions, like local roads and bridges, is a key component to
helping smaller communities create jobs and get goods to market.
Two suggestions for effective rural funding envelopes can be made that would be applicable across
rural Canada.
1) Grant applications for rural water/wastewater systems utilizing 'user pay' cost recovery
systems, as per the relevant legislation, should be analyzed on a cost per user analysis,
with consideration to current debt load users are currently paying.
a. This can be accomplished by simply drilling down further into the data currently
utilized by funding programs as outlined above (Assessment Criteria 1-5).
i. As an actual example, the Richmond Community Water System, which
consists of approximately 54 users cannot be accurately assessed without
understanding it only has approximately 54 users funding the system. In
theory, this fact makes the Richmond Community Water System funding
application score exponential higher on the `Fiscal Screen' component of the
funding assessment. Combined with the letter of support by the Ministry of
the Environment, it would be hard to imagine this project not scoring within
the top ten across Ontario for funding eligibility.
2) Create a portion of funding allocated within granting programs for `Rural Corridor Projects'
with a maximum application threshold of two million dollars ($2,000,000) in funding.
a. An example of a `Rural Corridor Project' is as follows:
i. The Municipality of Bayham has 8 bridges.
ii. The work on those items of infrastructure is important to the rural
transportation corridors and is one of the large items of capital investment for
the Municipality of Bayham.
• Bayham does not have the average annual daily traffic (AADT) to
qualify for funding in this category on these bridges in existing federal
funding programs.
b. If the Municipality of Bayham was able to lump together all eight bridge works from
the 2014 Bridge Assessment in a single application (or two bridges and two roads
etc.), being the `Bayham Rural Corridor' application, the total project cost would be
approximately two million dollars ($2,000,000) (51% of Municipality of Bayham 2015
own purpose levy.
c. Assuming a grant of 1/3 Federal, 1/3 Provincial, 1/3 Municipal the share of each
party is $666,666 (17% of Municipality of Bayham 2015 own purpose levy).
i. It can easily be argued and proven that the typical project from a `city' would
request and require the 1/3 portion of the grant would exceed the total project
cost of the hypothetical Bayham Rural Corridor' application
d. If the Bayham Rural Corridor' Project or the like was approved the following would
be true:
i. Reduction of infrastructure backlog;
ii. Multiple infrastructure items in a single project would reduce contractor
mobilization and soft costs, meaning more effective utilization of funds.
iii. From an optics/political perspective, more is getting done.
e. Asset maintenance is more effective use of funds than asset replacement.
i. Investing $666,666 per level of government to fix 8 bridges is more effective
that investing the same to replace a single bridge eight times.
ii. As the recent FCM study pointed out, and supported by major economic think
tanks, asset maintenance investment is critical to asset inventory's and
recommends funds allocated from the federal government be allocated to the
same.
The aforementioned is an oversimplification of a complex issue, utilizing a single Municipality, for
the sake of explanation, however the underlining fact regarding a `Rural Corridor' component of
funding programs would create a great opportunity to reduce the infrastructure deficit and allow
municipalities to focus on asset management plans while maintaining core infrastructure. The key
point being, if multiple projects could be completed at once, it would avoid one project being
completed and others left to deteriorate to the point of full replacement being required. This fact is
further evidenced by the 2016 Canadian Infrastructure Report Card:
Increasing reinvestment rates will save money in the long-term. Without an increase in
current reinvestment rates, the condition of Canada's core municipal infrastructure will
gradually decline, costing more money and risking service disruption. For
example...when roads[and bridges], as is typical for many assets, are allowed to
deteriorate below a 'Fair Condition Rating', the rate of deterioration and reinvestment
costs both increase substantially. Investing in preventive maintenance and regular
repair will prolong the asset service life, avoiding premature and costly reconstruction
and service disruption.
A strong, competitive economy and high quality of life depend on public infrastructure. Strategic
infrastructure investment, specifically designed for rural areas ensures that [rural] communities are
livable and sustainable for generations. Well-maintained roads and bridges reduce the wear and
tear on commercial vehicles—improving efficiency in the private sector, in rural areas the
agricultural and manufacturing sectors.
Rural areas provide the commodities that give us a positive balance of trade, they hold
the sources of our water, the location of recreational and natural amenities to which we
turn to be refreshed, they contain much of our biodiversity, they process most of the
urban pollution and they contain a large part of our social and cultural heritage. Without
the people to extract, process and transport those commodities, safeguard those
amenities and sustain our heritage, we would all be worse off–rural and urban alike.
