Municipalities across Ontario play a vital role in the delivery of emergency services. Consequently, it is important that municipalities are aware of this critical legislation to support Ontario's first responders. Over the last decade there has been an increased awareness of the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We know PTSD can be serious and debilitating, and that first responders are at least twice as likely as the general population to suffer from PTSD. The Premier asked me to bring forward a plan that addressed prevention of and resiliency to PTSD, and she also asked that we create legislation that makes PTSD a workplace presumption for first responders. First responders put their lives at risk each and every day to keep all of us safe, and it's important we provide our first responders the same unconditional support they provide to us when we need them. That's why I committed Ontario to becoming a leader in dealing with first-responder PTSD, and we know the solution lies with a comprehensive approach that includes both preventative and legislative measures.The Supporting Ontario's First Responders Act, 2016 is a key component of that comprehensive strategy. It will provide a presumption that PTSD diagnosed in first responders is work-related, allowing for faster access to WSIB benefits, resources and the timely treatment needed to heal and return to work safely. The specific groups covered under the PTSD presumption include: • Police, including First Nations constables, and chiefs of police • Firefighters (including part-time and volunteer firefighters), including those who are employed or who volunteer to provide fire protection services on a reserve, fire investigators, and fire chiefs • Paramedics and emergency medical attendants, and ambulance service managers • Workers involved in dispatching emergency services, including workers who play a role in the chain of communications which lead up to the dispatch for ambulance services,firefighters and police • Correctional officers/youth services workers (including managers) and workers who provide direct health care services in adult institutional corrections and secure youth justice facilities • Members of emergency response teams dispatched by a communications officer. The Supporting Ontario's First Responders Act, 2016 also amends the Ministry of Labour Act to allow the Minister of Labour to collect information about an employer's plans to prevent PTSD and authorizes the Minister to publish those plans. Collecting this information is intended to encourage the development of prevention plans and assess progress in the prevention of PTSD in these workplaces. It will also serve to highlight gaps and inform future prevention initiatives. I will formally direct certain employers to provide me with information on their workplace post-traumatic stress disorder prevention plans by April 23, 2017.This direction will be published in the Ontario Gazette,Volume 149, Issue 17, which will be available at www.ontario.ca/search/ontario-gazette. Additional information can also be found on the Ministry of Labour website at www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/ptsd.php. As your municipality is an employer or is responsible for employers of workers covered under the PTSD presumption, I am advising you of this direction and look forward to receiving information in a timely manner. You are able to determine an approach that reflects your local context,taking into consideration the ways that first responder services are delivered and supported locally. I would request that you forward this correspondence to any administrations that fall within your purview, so they are aware of the direction to submit information and are engaged in the process as appropriate. Information about prevention plans should be submitted in electronic Word format to ptsdprevention@ontario.ca. When submission by this method is not possible, information can be mailed to the Ontario Ministry of Labour,Att: PTSD Prevention Plan, 400 University Avenue, 14th Floor,Toronto, ON, M7A 1T7. Resources to assist in the development of a prevention plan are available online as part of a free online toolkit (see the link below). Should you have any questions, please contact ministry staff at 416-325-4575. These legislative amendments build on our previously announced PTSD prevention strategy,which includes: • The creation of a radio and digital campaign aimed at increasing awareness about PTSD among first responders,their families and communities and eliminating the stigma that too often prevents those in need from seeking help • An annual leadership summit to be hosted by the Minister of Labour to highlight best practices, recognize leaders, and monitor progress in preventing and addressing PTSD • A free online toolkit at www.firstrespondersfirst.ca with resources on PTSD tailored to meet the needs of employers and each of the first responder sectors • Grants for research that supports the prevention of PTSD. We started on the prevention initiatives in March 2016 with the launch of the public radio and digital awareness campaign, as well as the free online toolkit. Through the alignment of research, prevention and treatment efforts, Ontario will create a solid and coordinated set of resources to provide the support needed by the brave men and women who put their lives on the line in our time of greatest need.This is the beginning of a new way forward in preventing PTSD and providing support for our first responder community in Ontario. With your help, our government has put in place a strategy that will help protect our dedicated first responders who put themselves in harm's way to ensure our safety. These changes will positively impact many lives across the province, and will provide our 73,000 first responders and their families some peace of mind. Please accept my thanks for your support. Sincerely, [Original signed by] Kevin Flynn Minister of Labour To: Paul Shipway<PShipway@bayham.on.ca> Subject: Invitation to Council -Trinity Anglican Church, Port Burwell 180th Anniversary Hello, Paul. Could this letter be brought to Council's attention at its next meeting,with our sincere thanks. Susan Start, 180th Commitee On behalf of the Wardens and Parish Council of Trinity Anglican Church, Port Burwell, we are writing to invite Mayor Ens and Council to join our congregation on Sunday, May 22, 2016 at 11:30 a.m. when we celebrate the 180th Anniversary of our deeply historic church. On May 22, 1836, Bishop John Strachan travelled from Toronto to officiate at the first service in the church Colonel Mahlon Burwell had built, entirely at his own expense, in the village he had laid out on his property at the mouth of Otter Creek. For almost two centuries, it has been a beacon in our community and an unsurpassed architectural treasure for the entire Municipality. It promises to be a lovely event-with special music, a cub scout parade, Huron Diocese' Bishop Bob Bennett,who spent his youth in Port Buwell, in the pulpit, and 'Mahlon and Sarah Burwell' in the congregation. This occasion also gives us an opportunity to dedicate our accessible front entrance approach, and to honour the pioneers who rest in the churchyard with our annual decoration service. The congregation will serve lunch in the parish hall, and we invite everyone to linger and visit with friends and family. Our intention is a relaxed and joyous day. If the Mayor would like to bring greetings, that would add much to the occasion, and he could do so in whichever venue he is most comfortable: either during the welcome portion of the service, at the dedication of the entrance which follows the service, or as we gather for lunch in the Parish Hall. Please also extend our invitation to members of your staff. We look forward to welcoming you to this very special place on May 22nd. Sincerely, Father Robert Clifford, Rector Stanley Rushon and Randall Taylor, Wardens Susan Start, 180th Anniversary Committee Financial Statements of LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Year ended December 31, 2015 LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Index to the Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2015 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Statement of Financial Position 1 Statement of Operations 2 Statement of Changes in Net Financial Assets 3 Statement of Cash Flows 4 Notes to Financial Statements 5 - 13 111 KPMG LLP Telephone 519-747-8800 115 King Street South Fax 519-747-8830 2nd Floor Internet www.kpmg.ca Waterloo ON N2J 5A3 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Long Point Region Conservation Authority We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Long Point Region Conservation Authority (the "Authority"), which comprise the financial position as at December 31, 2015 and the statements of operations, changes in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors'Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors'judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Authority's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. KPMG LLP,is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"),a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. 11, Page 2 Basis for Qualified Opinion In common with many not-for-profit organizations, the Authority derives revenue from donations and sundry cash sources, the completeness of which is not susceptible of satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our verification of these revenues was limited to the amounts recorded in the records of the Authority. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary. Qualified Opinion In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Long Point Region Conservation Authority as at December 31, 2015, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. //,�. 6 " hie Chartered Professional Accountants, Licensed Public Accountants February 17, 2016 Waterloo, Canada LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Statement of Financial Position December 31, 2015, with comparative information for 2014 2015 2014 Financial Assets Cash (note 4) $ 494,143 $ 424,287 Investments (note 5) 6,006,080 6,180,327 Accounts receivable 119,106 216,227 Accrued receivable 73,176 8,976 Other receivables 47,951 53,067 6,740,456 6,882,884 Financial Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 206,017 177,590 Deferred revenue (note 7) 863,180 943,916 1,069,197 1,121,506 Net financial assets 5,671,259 5,761,378 Non-Financial Assets Tangible capital assets (note 6) 6,343,001 6,308,359 Net assets $ 12,014,260 $ 12,069,737 Accumulated Surplus Accumulated surplus- internally restricted (note 8) $ 615,457 $ 709,424 Accumulated surplus-externally restricted (note 9) 5,055,802 5,051,954 Accumulated surplus-tangible capital assets 6,343,001 6,308,359 Total accumulated surplus $ 12,014,260 $ 12,069,737 See accompanying notes to financial statements.

Purpose of organization: The Long Point Region Conservation Authority (the Authority) is established under the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario and works with local communities, and other partners, to achieve the conservation, restoration, development and responsible management of our water, land and natural habitats through programs that balance human, environmental and economic needs. The objectives of the Authority are as follows: (a) To ensure that the Long Point Region watershed lands and waters are properly safeguarded, managed and restored. (b) To protect, manage and restore watershed woodlands, wetlands and natural habitats. (c) To develop and maintain programs that will protect life and property from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion. (d) To provide opportunities for the public to enjoy, learn from and respect the watershed's natural and cultural environments. 2. Significant accounting policies: The financial statements of the Authority are prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for organizations operating in the local government sector as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Authority are as follows: (a) Description of fund balances: Internally restricted funds are those with restrictions imposed by the Board of Directors. Internally restricted funds are as follows: (i) The Education Centre Maintenance Fund for the maintenance of the Backus Conservation Education Centre. (ii) The OPG Forest Corridor Fund for the long-term monitoring of forest areas. (iii) The Memorial Woodlot Fund for the donations to Memorial Woodlot Fund and cost to Memorial Woodlot Fund at Backus. (iv) The Lee Brown Waterfowl M.A. Capital Replacement Fund for the capital replacements of Lee Brown Waterfowl M.A. 5 LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended December 31, 2015 2. Significant accounting policies (continued): (a) Description of fund balances (continued): (v) The Capital Levy fund for capital additions, replacements or improvements within the Authority. (vi) Externally restricted funds are those with restrictions imposed by the individuals external to the Board of Directors. Externally restricted funds are as follows: - revenues and expenditures related to the Backus Heritage Village are recorded in the Backus Heritage Village Trust Fund - revenues and expenditures related to the Leighton and Betty Brown scholarships are recorded in the Leighton and Betty Brown Scholarship Fund. (b) Revenue recognition: The Authority follows the accrual method of accounting for contributions where unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Restricted contributions are deferred and recognized as revenue in the year in which the related expenditures are incurred. (c) Expenses: Expenses are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes expenditures in the period in which they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. (d) Investments: All of the investments are classified as held-to-maturity investments and are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The Board has the intention to hold the investments until maturity. 6 LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended December 31, 2015 2. Significant accounting policies (continued): (e) Tangible capital assets: Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets, excluding land and landfill sites, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Asset Useful Life-Years Buildings and building improvements 50 years Land improvements 20 years Equipment 20 years Computers 5 years Vehicles 10 years Infrastructure 20- 50 years Annual amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and also are recorded as revenue. (f) Donations: The Authority records cash donations as revenue in the year cash is received. Donated materials and services are recorded as revenue and expenditure when the fair market value of the material and services donated is verifiable, only to the extent the Authority has issued a charitable donation receipt for those materials and services. (g) Use of estimates: The preparation of periodic financial statements occasionally requires management to make assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities at the year-end date and certain revenue and expenditures for the year then ended. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates. 7 LONG POINT REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY Notes to Financial Statements, continued Year ended December 31, 2015 2. Significant accounting policies (continued): (h) Contaminated sites: Contaminated sites are defined as the result of contamination being introduced in air, soil, water or sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live orgamism that exceeds an environmental standard. A liability for remediation of contaminated sites is recognized, net of any expected recoveries, when all of the following criteria are met: (a) an environmental standard exists (b) contamination exceeds the environmental standard (c) the organization is directly responsible or accepts responsibility for the liability (d) future economic benefits will be given up, and (e) a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. 3. Adoption of new accounting policy: The Authority adopted Public Sector Accounting Board Standard PS 3260 Liability for Contaminated Sites effective April 1, 2014. Under PS 3260, contaminated sites are defined as the result of contamination being introduced in air, soil, water or sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live organism that exceeds an environmental standard. This Standard relates to sites that are not in productive use and sites in productive use where an unexpected event resulted in contamination. The Authority adopted this standard on a retroactive basis and there were not adjustments as a result of the adoption of this standard. 4.

The report outlines the challenges facing the Municipality of Bayham which I imagine represents the challenges that many rural municipalities are currently facing. The report outlines their struggle to properly provide adequate services to their residents without placing the financial burden on already highly taxed residents. There are many rural municipalities who are finding it increasing difficult to maintain their roads,bridges, drinking water and public amenities with a limited tax base and financial capacity. In the last few years the provincial government has decreased the OMPF funding in conjunction with rising costs and the downloading of many programs to municipalities. This is making it increasingly difficult for municipalities to provide the required services. I would request that you review this report and take it into consideration. I look forward to your response and will forward it to council once it has been received.

Sekaly Assistant Deputy Minister Financial Policy and Business Division DATE: March 22, 2016 2016 Proportions of Enrolment for purposes of Education SUBJECT : Act, subsections 238(2) and 257.8(3) The Ministry of Education is required to publish, for each common jurisdictional area, the proportion of enrolment between school boards by municipality. These proportions, which are updated annually, are to be used by municipal clerks and treasurers to distribute taxes on business property (e.g. commercial, industrial and pipeline), payments in lieu or any other rateable property which does not have designated tax support to school boards. The proportions to be used for 2016 are attached as Table A. As required under the Education Act, this table will be published in The Ontario Gazette which is the official Government of Ontario publication for all government notices. The Minister of Finance is responsible for setting tax rates for education. For the March 31st payment, section 257.11(1) of the Education Act requires municipalities to pay 25 percent of the previous calendar year (2015) amount levied for education taxes. On June 30, the amount of the payment is to be 50 percent of the amount to be levied for the current calendar year less the March 31st payment. The September 30th payment is to be 25 percent of the amount levied for the current calendar year and the December 15th payment is to be the balance owing for the current calendar year. Please note that because the March 31st payment is based on the previous year, the enrolment share proportions on Table A do not come into effect until the June 30th payment.

April 28, 2016 From:Abe Berg [mailto:semchurch@amtelecom.net] Sent: April-28-16 3:32 PM To: Paul Shipway<PShipway@bayham.on.ca> Cc: Cordell Parsons<cmparsons@rogers.com>; Linda Vandevyvere<blvandevyvere@yahoo.ca> Subject: SCC parking lot Hi Paul, As per our phone conversation yesterday, SEMC and the Bayham United Church are jointly organising a cycling fundraiser followed by a lunch at the Bayham United Church on June 11th 2016. We are calling it "Bayham Ride of Hope". As most people are well aware of, there is a global refugee crisis, and we feel that this is the least we can do to show other communities globally that we care. The purpose of this fundraiser is to give the greater Bayham community an opportunity to participate in raising funds to support one or two refugee families which are being applied for through the Aylmer Evangelical Mennonite Mission Church at Summers Corners. We are formally requesting the full use of the SCC parking lot for June 11th from approx 8am -2pm as a starting location and registration of the "ride". See the attached document which outlines the event better. We look forward to this event and hope that the greater Bayham community along with the Bayham council ... ;), will promote and support this event. Blessings, Pastor Abe Berg Straffordville Evangelical Mennonite Church 55748 Third St. PO Box 369 Straffordville, ON, NOJ 1Y0 519-866-5460 519-281-2852 Bayham Ride of Hope A local community event Saturday June 11th, starting at 10am @ Straffordville Community Centre A family bicycling and lunch fundraiser organized by Bayham United Church and Straffordville EMC Church.

The Municipality of Bayham currently possesses approximately 18,250 metres of sidewalk or a sidewalk replacement value of$1,200,000. In accordance with Section 16.1 of Ontario Regulation 239/02 — Minimum Maintenance Standards, the Public Works Department annually inspects sidewalks to identify surface discontinuity. In locations where surface discontinuities exist beyond a two centimetre threshold, the Municipality must repair or properly identify the discontinuity within fourteen days of becoming aware of the fact. Additionally, Ontario Regulation 413/12 made under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, new sidewalks or substantial replacements of existing sidewalks are required to have clear space a minimum 1.5 metres in width with tactile indicators at crossings. Of the existing Municipality of Bayham sidewalk inventory of approximately 18,250 metres only 2,300 metres is 1.5 metres in width or greater. DISCUSSION As a result of the importance of sidewalks, accessibility requirements and current financial considerations of the Municipality, staff undertook the annual sidewalk assessment to provide information for Council. In 2016 significant sidewalk portions in Eden (Eden Line) and Straffordville (Heritage Line) will be replaced. Staff have provided sidewalk maps, attached hereto as Appendix 'A' for Council background information. Appendix `A' provides the 2015 assessment information on sidewalks and recommendations for moving forward. Blue/Black = Pass Yellow = Repair/Replacement Required Red/Black 'X's = Remove (in addition a number of sidewalks which are grassed over and/or have significant discontinuities not shown on the maps, as they are not functional sidewalks, are recommended to be removed and replaced with top soil and seed). Staff, after attending OGRA, also recommend that in the winter, any sidewalks which are not cleared by the municipal contractor, or required by the Municipality for the resident to clear (a by- law currently not enforced), that the sidewalks be temporarily closed and posted the same, as a liability reduction mechanism. New/Replacement Sidewalk Considerations a) Ensure that all newly constructed sidewalks are barrier-free to ensure accessible opportunities for all residents. b) Use concrete paving surfaces for the replacement and construction of all future sidewalks. c) Do not use interlocking pavers unless specified by any future urban design guidelines. d) Identify and address obstructions within a vertical distance of 2.4 metres of the sidewalk. e) Apply a maximum cross-slope of 2% for the repair, replacement and construction of all sidewalks. f) At the discretion of Council, the Municipality should require development proposals to provide sidewalks where they: i. Are located along an arterial road or a collector road that connects to an arterial road, within the built boundary; ii. Generate sufficient pedestrian traffic and connect to key points of interest; iii. Connect to other sidewalks; and/or iv. Promote active leisure activities. g) For sidewalk routes that are anticipated to generate lower volumes of pedestrian traffic consider: i. Providing sidewalks on only one side of the street; and ii. Connect to other sidewalks, forming a well-connected network of sidewalks; and iii. Connect to key points of interests. h) Continue to conduct an annual sidewalk inspection in accordance with the standards established in O. Reg. 239/02 to identify cracks and surface discontinuities. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report CAO-28/16 re 2016 Sidewalk Inventory - Assessment be received for information; 2. AND THAT Council provide staff direction on the removal of sidewalks; Respectfully Submitted by: Paul Shipway CAO APPENDIX 'A' i --- 1 - .. , -...

Effective February 6, 1997 the Corporation of the Village of Port Burwell and the Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg, purchased from Canadian Pacific Railway Company land in the Township of Bayham, County of Elgin. The land included the following properties. i. Roll No. 34-01-000-009-01800-0000 ii. Roll No. 34-01-000-009-01805-0000 iii. Roll No. 34-01-000-009-01810-0000 The Municipality of Bayham also has an Option Agreement with AIM Power and a Road Use Agreement with Erie Shores Wind Farms for use of the Corridor. Additionally, the majority of the Corridor north of Vienna is leased to the abutting land owner's as a result of line fence disputes in the early 2000's. Mapping is attached hereto as Appendix 'A'. On September 18, 2014 Council received Report PW 2014-020 re Rail Trail for information. The report summarized that in 2014 Capital Budget deliberations the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham allocated ten thousand dollars ($10,000), from the Trail Reserve, to the Otter Valley Rail Trail Advisory Committee for work to be undertaken on the Rail Trail. On January 8, 2015 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham received for information the minutes of the Otter Valley Rail Trail Advisory Committee minutes which strongly directed Council to take various actions to further the progress of the trail. At the time staff identified the following concerns with the Otter Valley Utility Corridor: I. Noxious Weed Control V. Potential Fencing II. Ditching VI. Way finding Signage III. Ditch Grate Safety VII. Accessibility IV. Brushing VIII. Clarify land ownership in Port Burwell On January 8, 2015 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed the following resolution: THAT Report CAO-04/15 re Otter Valley Utility Corridor— Rail Trail be received for information; AND THAT Staff be directed to coordinate a meeting of the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Joint Board of Management with the Town of Tillsonburg. AND THAT Staff prepare a draft 2016 work plan to present to Tillsonburg prior to December 31, 2015. On June 18, 2015 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed the following resolution: THAT Report CAO-41/15 re Railway Right-of-Way be received for information; AND THAT further blockade measures be referred to the 2016 Capital Budget; AND THAT staff be directed to investigate formalizing the portion of the railway right-of-way as a municipal highway, with the Town of Tillsonburg, which provides an access to a residential property. On October 13, 2015, the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board, authorized under the Joint Venture Agreement, met, for the first time in a number of years, to discuss the Otter Valley Utility Corridor. The Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board provided staff direction as follows: a. Staff were directed to obtain spraying costs to spray the utility corridor for broad leaf plants in spring 2016. b. Staff were directed to jointly conduct a drainage and safety assessment of the entire utility corridor within the following month. c. Bayham requested consideration of a road use agreement for a property which historically obtained property access from the rail corridor—As per the June 18, 2015 resolution of the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham. On February 8, 2016 the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board considered Report CAO 10/16 re Otter Valley Utility Corridor— Rail St. — Straffordville: At some point, either predating the purchase or after, either informally or formally, the Municipality of Bayham commenced utilization of the rail corridor as 'Rail St.' `Rail St.' is not a designated road and is in fact a portion of the utility corridor lands. The property at 56466 Heritage Line, Straffordville Ontario utilizes 'Rail St'. as the only access to the subject property. Additionally, in 2015 Municipality of Bayham staff installed dead ends and turnarounds at the end of First, Second Third and Fourth Streets to prevent use of the utility corridor as a road. To rectify the above situation, and provide a legal access to the property at 56466 Heritage Line, Straffordville Ontario, the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board passed the following resolution: THAT Report CAO-10/16 re Otter Valley Utility Corridor— Rail St. - Straffordville be received for information; AND THAT Bayham staff be directed to draft a Road Use Agreement for 56466 Heritage Line, Straffordville Ontario to access the subject property utilizing the utility corridor; AND THAT the agreement and all associated costs, including abutting property owner concerns be handled and funded solely at the expense of the Municipality of Bayham; AND THAT upon completion of the Road Use Agreement the same be presented by by-law to the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg and the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham and upon passing be registered on title at the expense of the Municipality of Bayham. On February 8, 2016 the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board also considered a request to fence from Underhill Farm Supply to fence the portion of the utility corridor subject to Municipality of Bayham By-law No. 2003-077 and Municipality of Bayham Agreement No. 0337, The subject lands are encompassed within a 50 year lease with an additional 50 year renewal period. Pertaining to fencing the Lease Agreement features the following provisions: ...Provided, however, that the Lessee shall be allowed to erect fencing around the subject lands, subject to the approval of the Lessors to allow the Lessee to prohibit individuals from accessing the lands as a trail. AND that the Lessee will not remove, alter or change the style or position of any fences on the said lands without the consent of the Lessor in writing... The Otter valley Utility Corridor Board passed the following resolution pertaining to the Underhill Farm Supply Request: THAT Report CAO-09/16 re Otter Valley Utility Corridor— Underhill Farm Supply be received for information; AND THAT the Otter Valley Board of Management approve the request of Mr. Sebok of Underhill Farm Supply to erect fencing, at the sole cost of Underhill Farm Supply, around the perimeter of the subject property; AND THAT Underhill Farm Supply install a gate at the northwest corner of the property and provide the Municipality of Bayham and Erie Shores with a key; AND THAT the fencing conditions are contingent upon the Municipality of Bayham, Town of Tillsonburg and Erie Shores being granted permission to access the utility corridor through the Underhill Farm Supply property. On February 8, 2016 the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board also provided staff direction, to the Municipality of Bayham and Town of Tillsonburg CAO's as follows: The Board of Management provided staff direction to review the Joint Venture Agreement to streamline for efficiencies. Minutes of the Otter Valley Utility Corridor Board of Management are available online on the Advisory Boards and Committees section of the Municipality of Bayham Website. DISCUSSION ACTION ITEMS: 1) Staff were directed to obtain spraying costs to spray the utility corridor for broad leaf plants in spring 2016. a. Cost is approximately $4,000 to spray the utility corridor from Tunnel Line to Port Burwell, to be funded from Trail Reserve (50% Bayham — 50% Tillsonburg) 2) Staff were directed to jointly conduct a drainage and safety assessment of the entire utility corridor within the following month. a. Bayham Staff assessed the utility corridor, specifically Tunnel Line to Plank Rd, and the utility corridor is subject to what appear to be large quantities of illegal drainage outlets onto the utility corridor. b. Large portions of the trail were brushed in 2015, at the cost of Erie Shores, pursuant to the Erie Shores Road Use Agreement. 3) Joint Venture Agreement a. The Otter Valley Utility Corridor Joint Venture Agreements is under review. 4) Otter Valley Utility Corridor— Rail St. — Straffordville a. 56466 Heritage Line, Straffordville Ontario Use Agreement as per Report CAO 33/16 Report Recommendation. HISTORICAL ACTIONS-CONSULTATIONS: As per a Municipality of Bayham Staff Memorandum dated March 20, 2007 a timeline of Otter Valley Utility Corridor activities include the following: October 14, 1997— Stanley Consulting Otter Valley Utility Corridor& Recreation Trail Master Plan, lead on the project was the Town of Tillsonburg, consisted of four public meetings. June 26, 2001 - Bayham Trans Canada Trail Committee recommends to Council that the corridor from Vienna to Port Burwell be added to the TransCanada Trail to make a loop route. July 5, 2001 - Bayham Council receives Bayham Trans Canada Trail Committee recommendation for information (but also directs consultations with Tillsonburg and abutting land owners). August 16, 2001 - Bayham Council receives staff report advising that Tillsonburg indicates the Bayham Trans Canada Trail Committee proposal would be viable, but also indicating a meeting of the Joint Board required to discuss. Council authorizes staff to arrange meeting. December 3, 2001 - Board of Management meets to consider designation, directs staff to contact abutting property owners for input into designating Vienna to Port Burwell section as Trans Canada Trail for non-motorized uses (also to arrange meetings with OPP and insurance reps). February 12, 2002 - Report on adjacent property owner comments received by Board of Management. Recommendation sent to Council to designate corridor from Lake Erie to Tunnel Line for passive uses as part of the Trans Canada Trail, and that passive uses also be permitted for the remainder of the corridor. Upon the request of the Board of Management, staff undertook a Survey of property owners that own property abutting the Otter Valley Utility Corridor and Trail from Tunnel Line. Staff contacted thirty-three (33) abutting property owners and received responses from all but four(4) Do you oppose or support a portion of the former rail lands being designated as part of the Trans Canada Trail for non-motorized use? Unsure 17% (5 Property Owners) Oppose 17% (5 Property Owners) Support 66% (19 Property Owners) What is your biggest concern about the former rail lands? Other 29% None 27% Motor Vehicle— 17% Theft Damage -13% Cost 13% Litter 4% February 21, 2002 - Bayham Council adopts recommendation to allow passive uses Tunnel Line to Lake Erie, but not for corridor north of Tunnel Line. (Staff Report R2002-002 re Otter Valley Utility Corridor & Recreation Trail): THAT the Council of the Municipality of Bayham supports the Otter Valley Utility Corridor and Trail Board of Management recommendation to designate that part of the Otter Valley Utility Corridor and Trail between Lake Erie and Tunnel Line as part of the Trans Canada Trail for passive uses including hiking, cycling, cross country skiing and horseback riding; AND THAT staff proceed with enforcement of prohibiting motorized uses for the entire corridor. April 16, 2002 - Board of Management commences direction to hold public meeting on corridor status/activities.

Regardless of the direction which Council provides, pertaining to the Otter Valley Utility Corridor, the considerations of January 8, 2015 will remain true, with varying impacts dependent on use: I. Noxious Weed Control V. Potential Fencing II. Ditching VI. Way finding Signage III. Ditch Grate Safety VII. Accessibility IV. Brushing VIII. Clarify land ownership in Port Burwell RECOMMENDATION 1.

Trees are valuable assets to the municipality as they: i. contribute in the reduction of carbon dioxide levels; ii. act as noise and visual buffers; iii. moderate climate conditions by providing shade and moderating wind and snow levels; iv. provide shelter and food sources to wildlife; and v. contribute to the Municipality of Bayham's aesthetic values through their colour and form. However municipalities must adopt a pragmatic approach to tree removal within opened municipal road allowances considering public safety, durability of assets and reduction of exposure to liability. The purpose of this policy is to provide a policy framework for the Public Works Department to interpret and operationalize when conducting tree removal and brushing activities. 1) The decision to remove trees and conduct brushing activities from a municipal road allowance is a subjective decision which shall be made utilizing the sole, absolute and unfettered discretion of the Public Works Department, via the Road Operations Supervisor or designate, considering any and all of the following factors: a. Road Shading; b. Ditching/Drainage Requirements c. Clear Zone Offset Distances d. The Ontario Roadside Safety Manual, and sector best practices; e. Applicable Legislation; f. Any other relevant document or information as may be deemed prudent by the Road Operations Supervisor or designate. g. Trees are valuable assets to the municipality as they: i. contribute in the reduction of carbon dioxide levels; ii. act as noise and visual buffers; iii. moderate climate conditions by providing shade and moderating wind and snow levels; iv. provide shelter and food sources to wildlife; and v. contribute to the Municipality of Bayham's aesthetic values through their colour and form. 2) Reconsideration of the Municipality of Bayham Tree Removal Policy shall be conducted by Council, at the discretion of Council, at a policy level. TREE PLANTING CONSIDERATIONS 3) Within the Capital Budget annually the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham may provide an amount of funding for tree planting on private property. a.
