Council Meeting Minutes - Tuesday, September 18, 2018

District Council proposed researching how other local regions handle this cost allocation; and

  • Tipping Fees at landfills. Currently have two-tier system

where residents are charged $135.00 per tonne and commercial businesses are charged $175.00 per tonne. Commercial loads are decreasing dramatically but residential loads are increasing. The cost to process for the District is $190.00 per tonne, so they are basically losing money on every tonne. In future, it is proposed that the District have full cost recovery which means a significant increase for tipping fees at landfills, probably up to $190.00 per tonne. The split between residential and commercial charges is not working and will likely become one fee. Mixed load (recyclables, construction waste, etc.) will be a larger fee of up to $350.00. Airport Board Committee

  • Current Muskoka Airport manager is retiring;
  • Plan is to increase qualifications required to run the airport to

a Chief Executive Officer from the current position of, essentially, facilities manager. This person will take on a more operating, planning and future planning, and marketing role. Restructuring the District Standing Committees

  • Current committees are Engineering and Public Works,

Planning and Economic Development, Community Services, and Corporate Emergency Services;

  • District CAO is proposing that the current 4 Standing

Committees be restructured to rebalance staff workload. Restructuring would include:

  • Planning and Community Services Committee -

handling tourism, community watershed, GIS, Planning and Economic Development, Housing and Homelessness, Children’s Program, Community Engagement, Seniors, and Ontario Works.

  • Proposing to create a new committee: Health

Services - handling health services, Ontario care planning, emergency management.

  • CAO is within his rights to reallocate workload among

his staff.

  • Will have committees restructured before the end of the 2018

term, to begin for the 2018-2022 term. Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act

Minett Joint Policy Review Steering Committee

  • All development is frozen in the Minett area;
  • This committee will steer the discussions of policies for

development in the area;

  • I'm sure this committee will review decisions already made;
  • There are 13 positions and 40 people have applied;
  • Committee should be presented to the October District Planning

  • Was honoured to be invited to the Dorset Lions Dialysis

Camp, which just celebrated 40 years of operation;

  • The beautiful camp is unique as it provides a vacation

destination for the caregivers;

  • Staff will be preparing certificate commemorating their 40

years. Septic Re-inspection Program

  • A resident on Raven Lake, Patricia Smith, informed me that

the Township of Algonquin Highlands is conducting a septic re-inspection program, which is a mandatory re-inspection for all residents in the Township. The inspection is paid for by the property owner;

  • Township of Lake of Bays conducted a re-inspection

program about 10 years ago by B.O.S. Engineering;

  • Within the Township of Lake of Bays, there are 4,200
  • residences. Even if the Township conducted 400 re-

inspections each year, it would take close to 10 years to complete these inspections. However, the project is an important one for future Council consideration. D4 Assessment Program

  • Many property owners are having great difficulty getting the

D4 Assessment started;

  • The process is cumbersome through the Ministry of

Environment and the District Municipality of Muskoka. Mayor Young reminded Council that there is no regular Council meeting scheduled for November and that the Planning Council meeting scheduled for November 27, 2018 has been rescheduled to November 20, 2018.

Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes - Tuesday, May 29, 2018

(a) Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation Update (Brian Simpson) Brian Simpson updated the Committee on the following:

  • Marsh’s Falls:
  • Spring Clean-Up Working Bee on May 12, 2018 was a

success;

  • Visitor House – decision on the future of the house is still

to be determined. The deck on the house has been removed for safety reasons.

  • Entrance Off of Hwy 35 – to be discussed again in 2018

between the Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation (LOBHF) and the Township of Lake of Bays.

  • Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre:
  • Organization will be conducting a turtle species inventory

along the Oxtongue River this summer;

  • Virtually all species of turtles in Ontario (7 out of 8) are on

the endangered species list as of 2018;

  • Proposing a “Turtle Crossing” Sign at Boyne Creek on

Dwight Beach Road. To be discussed with the Township

  • f Lake of Bays Public Works Department.

(c) Paddle Guide to lower Oxtongue Rapids Brochure & Paddle Tour Chair Tapley proposed the idea of placing canoe paddles painted/sculpted/carved by local artists around the Lake of Bays communities (based out of Dwight) to promote the Paddle Guide to lower Oxtongue Rapids Brochure (Paddle Guide) and Lake of Bays natural heritage features. There would be a bookmark insert with the location and artist information on each of the designed paddles as part

  • f the Paddle Guide.

The paddles would be donated by local businesses, designed by local artists, and placed on loan at local businesses and/or heritage buildings to provide a “tour” around Lake of Bays. Local businesses and artists still need to be approached for this proposed project. Chair Tapley recommends that Committee Members reach out to their artist contacts to see if there is interest. Should there be interest from local artists, it would be ideal to have the paddles placed during a trial period in Dwight by mid-July 2018. Not all Committee Members were in agreement with the proposal, but are wiling to further discuss the idea once there has been some feedback from local businesses and artists.

Chair Tapley noted this idea will be further discussed (including artist interest, local businesses who would take a paddle, etc.) at the next working meeting on Tuesday, June 26, 2018. (d) Outreach Community Events Committee Member Crowley proposed to Chair Tapley and the Committee of hosting local community outreach events to build on local heritage and current Committee initiatives, including:

  • Hosting Heritage Brochure Walking Tour Days –members of the

Committee provide guided tours of the Heritage Walking Tour Brochures, rotating through all three brochures/communities. The Committee noted that some community members already host events similar to this and do not want to pull attention away from said events.

  • Hosting a Heritage Day on Dwight Beach – include vendors,

games, heritage artifacts, boat tour, etc. The Committee agreed this would be a great event for 2019, and propose the item be added to Unfinished Business to discuss at a later date. (b) Around Lake of Bays Heritage Driving Tour Brochure Councillor Ross provided the Committee copies of a local map of Huntsville/Lake of Bays and requested each Committee Member research the local heritage in their specific area of residence prior to the June 26, 2018 working meeting. At this meeting, the Committee will discuss and compile the research to determine if there is enough information for a 2019 Heritage Driving Tour Brochure. 7.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Status update on the Township’s community gateway signage
  • Proposed sign designs and locations for each community
  • Staff coordination of Dorset signs with Algonquin Highlands
  • Staff proposing consultation with community groups related to existing signage

RECOMMENDATION: WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays receives the staff report “Ontario’s Main Street Revitalization Initiative – Community Gateway Signage Update #1 – Proposed Designs and Locations”, dated October 16, 2018. BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council hereby directs staff to proceed with Community Gateway Signage design ______ [A, B or C], and consult with the Township of Algonquin Highlands regarding Councils desired sign design. AND FURTHER THAT Council hereby direct staff to submit permit applications to the relevant permitting authorities (District Municipality of Muskoka or the Ministry of Transportation) to request the installation of the signs at the proposed locations once staff has consulted with the Township of Algonquin Highlands. ORIGIN: The Township of Lake of Bays was allocated $40,447.22 through Ontario’s Main Street Revitalization Initiative. The program supports municipalities undertaking main street revitalization activities within the programs parameters. On May 15, 2018, Council passed the following resolution: Resolution #5(b)(iii)/05/15/18 WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays receives the staff report “Ontario’s Main Street Revitalization Initiative Funding”, dated May 15, 2018.

the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and the Township of Lake of Bays (Ontario’s Main Street Revitalization Initiative). AND FURTHER THAT Council hereby directs staff to allocate the Main Street Revitalization Initiative funding towards installation of community gateway signage as an implementation component of the Township’s branding initiative. The community gateway signage is to be installed in the communities of Baysville, Dorset, Dwight and Hillside to be located on Highways 60, 117, 35, and Brunel Road as you approach each main street/downtown area. Gateway signage will create a sense of arrival and awareness of place while fostering greater recognition of the Township’s new brand identity. Funds must be spent by March 31, 2020. ANALYSIS: Proposed Sign Designs: A preliminary sign design was included in the Brand Style Guide presented to Council September 18, 2018. Two additional variations on this design have been supplied by brand consultant Cinnamon Toast (see Attachment #1). The proposed designs feature the elements of the new Lake of Bays brand including the logo, tagline, fonts and

  • colours. The installation of community gateway signage is a vital component of brand

implementation and will create a distinct visual identity for Lake of Bays that will unify the township’s four communities – Baysville, Dorset, Dwight and Hillside. The community of Dorset is located within the Township of Lake of Bays and the Township of Algonquin Highlands. To acknowledge this fact, the sign design for Dorset includes the logos for both municipalities. An overview of the project, including the proposed sign design and locations, has been forwarded to the Township of Algonquin Highlands with a request for input. Proposed Sign Locations: Approximate locations for the community gateway signs are illustrated on a google map. The proposed locations are subject to adjustment upon review by the relevant permitting authorities. (cont’d)

Community Gateway Signage Update #1 – Proposed Designs and Locations October 16, 2018 Page 3 of 4

Summary of Proposed Signs:

No. Location Permit 1 Hillside - East on Hwy 60 from Huntsville MTO 2 Hillside - West on Hwy 60 from Dwight MTO 3 Dwight - East on Hwy 60 from Hillside MTO 4 Dwight - West on Hwy 60 from Oxtongue MTO 5 Dwight - North on Hwy 35 from Dorset MTO 6 Dorset - South on Hwy 35 from Dwight MTO 7 Dorset - North on Hwy 35 from Minden MTO 8 Dorset - East on Hwy 117 from Baysville District 9 Baysville - East on Hwy 117 from Bracebridge District 10 Baysville - West on Hwy 117 from Dorset District 11 Baysville - South on Brunel Rd from Dwight/Huntsville District

Anticipated installation of the signs is spring/summer 2019. Installation of the signs is dependent on permit processing time, but must be complete prior to winter 2019/2020 in

  • rder to meet the funding deadline of March 31, 2020. Signs cannot be installed in the

winter months. Existing Community Signs: Currently there are community signs located as you approach both Baysville and

  • Dorset. The location and appearance of these signs is noted on the google map.

The rationale for installing new community gateway signage is to unify the four communities through a distinct, but consistent visual aesthetic. However, the project is not intended to exclude individual community identity or to undermine efforts of local community groups. At this point staff is recommending that township community gateway signage is installed in addition to existing welcome signs, if the Ministry of Transportation and District of Muskoka permit both signs. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funding Source: Province – Main Street Revitalization Funding: $40,447.22

  • Funds must be spent by March 31, 2020
  • No updates available at this time regarding project expenses
  • Design and manufacture of signs to be procured through request for proposal
  • Application to FedNor – Northern Ontario Development Program to support

website/branding project was denied ALTERNATIVES:

  • None

Bubbler at Dwight Beach October 16, 2018

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Damage to Dwight Beach Dock
  • Install bubbler at Dwight Beach Dock
  • Move entrance to the lake

RECOMMENDATION: WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays receives the staff report “Bubbler at Dwight Beach Dock” dated October 16, 2018, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays approves the installation of the bubbler at the Dwight Beach dock to help prevent further damage to the dock. ORIGIN: Winter 2017/2018 was cold with conditions being perfect to create beautiful thick ice on

  • ur lakes. Last winter was the first one for our new Dwight dock extension made with

steel piles and steel frame. The dock sustained damage underneath from the ice pushing up and broke a few welds on braces. ANALYSIS: The original dock at the beach had an ice deflector to prevent ice from damaging the

  • dock. Staffs intentions were to remove the deflector and install it on the end of the new

dock. After consulting with an engineer he agreed with Staff and the Contractor that given the soil conditions which the piles were driven into that the ice could over the years pull the deflector and piers down. The dock would slowly sink when the lake level is lowered in the early spring. With the proposed installation of a bubbler at the Dwight dock staff are confident this will prevent further damage to the dock. The bubbler will be turned on and off with a

  • photocell. It will only run enough to keep the area around the dock open. Staff will keep

a close watch and adjust the time as needed. THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LAKE OF BAYS REPORT TO: Mayor Young and Members of Council FROM: Scott MacKinnon, Superintendent Parks and Facilities DATE: October 16, 2018 RE: Bubbler at Dwight Beach Dock

Bubbler at Dwight Beach October 16, 2018

The area will be fenced and marked with a warning light to protect people and snow machines from the open water. The snowmobile entrance to the lake will be moved from the boat ramp beside the dock to the West end of the beach by the intersection of Dwight Beach Road and Dwight Bay Road to keep snow machines and ice fishing people away from the bubbler protected

  • area. Staff will erect fencing to show new location and barriers to eliminate the old
  • entrance. This used to be the location that the snowmobile trail came off the lake back

in the 1990’s. The Parks and Facilities Supervisor back then believed the boat ramp was a more ideal location and moved the entrance to the ramp. Moving the entrance may also encourage users to park in the parking lot by the new public washrooms instead of along Dwight Beach Road. Current entrance to the lake marked “A” and proposed location marked “B”. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The bubbler would add approximately $400 in hydro expense with the photocell controlling the on/off cycle. This year’s repairs although minor required a welder and we are waiting on a diver to complete a few under water welds with an estimate of $2924.50 including HST. ALTERNATIVES: There are two options going forward. 1) Run the bubbler on the photocell to protect the dock. Marking the new entrance to the lake for fishing and other recreation activities. 2) Maintain the status quo and repair the dock each year after the ice has melted

  • ut of the bay.

AND FURTHER that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays directs staff to continue providing an approximate plowed area of 5,500 square feet with approximately 2,700 square feet reserved for the snowplow turnaround. ORIGIN: Council Resolution #8a/09/18/18 BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays direct staff to investigate options for winter parking at the Blue Lake turnaround and report back to Council. Carried ANALYSIS: Request Just prior to the September 18th, 2018 Council meeting staff was informed of a request to increase the size of the parking area at the end of Limberlost Road (District Road 8) to 75 feet by 200 feet (15,000 square feet). Currently, this area is approximately 110 feet by 50 feet (5,500 square feet). This requested area is larger than Public Works Garage 1 and approximately twice the size of the Dwight Community Centre/Library. Staff researched documents from the spring of 2018 where both the Limberlost parking area and a standard turnaround were measured on March 26, 2018. The Limberlost parking area was showing approximately 5,500 square feet while the Billie Bear Road THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LAKE OF BAYS REPORT TO: Mayor Young and Members of Council FROM: Steve Peace - Superintendent of Public Works DATE: October 16, 2018 RE: Parking - Limberlost Road

Parking - Limberlost Road Page 2 of 5 October 16, 2018

turnaround was showing approximately 2,700 square feet. Billie Bear Road turnaround was used as a representative location for most of our turnarounds throughout the Township. When looking at the requested 15,000 square feet, several concerns and limiting factors come into play

  • Estimated time to plow this area is an additional +/- 1.5 hours. This will result in

a significant delay to services for all the other residents north of Highway 60.

  • Under current staffing levels and operational restrictions, the hours of service

may be exceeded as set out by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). The MTO regulations limit a driver to 13 hours per day.

  • The ability for the plow to move that much snow while working on soft sandy

ground dramatically increase the chances of getting stuck. If an area of this size is to be plowed then upgrades to the pit floor will need to be made prior to winter, at an approximate cost to the Township of approximately $5,000.

  • Any additional time spent clearing this area, will directly affect the time that the

plow services the remaining +/- 126km of the +/- 150km plow run. Current Practice Currently, Limberlost Road turnaround is plowed first on the route and it takes approximately 0.5 hours to plow to +/- 5,500 square feet. Concerns regarding plowing for long term parking like this area:

  • Plow driver safety and equipment availability is our top concern. If the

turnaround is blocked, the plow must back up a hill in often terrible conditions to find a driveway/private road that is wide enough and strong enough to support the truck to turn around. The closest location where it is opened enough and safe enough is Blue Lake Road which is +/- 430 feet away.

  • Township is at risk while plowing near private vehicles.
  • Once the cars leave, snow is left around the vehicles that can create a hazard for
  • ther users until it can be cleared. When this happens repeatedly the banks

become too large and too hard for the plow truck to move and the grader must be deployed.

There are a few other locations that the Township clears snow other than that required for the travelled portion of the road:

  • Raven Lake Landing (Ridout) – plowed due to an agreement with MNRF/AH
  • Moot Lake Road (McLean) – Agreement with DMM - Plowed with the One ton to

create +/- 2-3 spaces to keep cars off of MR 117

  • Billie Bear Seasonal (Sinclair / Finlayson)section – plow in +/- 100 feet in a single

pass – 1 resident known to use regularly and several transient users may also

  • ccasionally use this area. Some of the other regular users have made

arrangements for parking on private property.

  • Limberlost Road (Sinclair / Finlayson) across from Camp Olympia – Turnaround

for the main section of Limberlost - widened out one pass

  • Norway Point Parking Lot (Ridout) – plowed with one ton when space is

available

  • All Municipal parking lots and Senior Centre’s – No Overnight Parking Permitted

which allows the lots to be cleared completely every time it snows. The Township has 27 seasonally maintained roads. There are only 3 areas that are plowed for parking; South Camp Lake Road (all residents on private roads), Moot Lake Road and Billie Bear Road. The remainder of the seasonal road residents and/or the users of these areas are required to make their own arrangements for parking in the winter months or risk being towed. Currently, the Township has approximately 212 private roads with 3 or more residents

  • n them. Other than the private roads that join the Township seasonally maintained

South Camp Lake Road the Township does not provide winter parking for the residents

  • f private roads or the users of these areas.

Proposed Solution

  • Public Works will place no parking signs around the area we require for a snow

plow turnaround. All vehicles found in this area will be tagged and/or towed.

  • During the meeting Councillor Baker mentioned the worst times for congestion

are the Family Day weekend and March break. Public Works could make an effort to push the banks back prior to these two busy times as long as the weather and available time permits.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: For the purposes of this calculation staff used District Municipality of Muskoka cost recovery rates of $122.64/h and approximately 60% of the total winter events. This calculation does not take into account overtime (this snowplow route is 10 to 11 hours), extreme weather, poor conditions, and/or additional time lost due to cars being parked in the way. Depending on the weather, in any given week we are often into overtime by the middle of the week. Alt 1 Current Regular 0.5 hours to plow x $122.64/h x 45 events = $2,759 (5,500 sq ft) OT 0.5 hours to plow x $142.45/h x 45 events = $3,205 Alt 2 Requested Regular 1.5 hours to plow x $122.64/h x 45 events = $8,278 (15,000 sq ft) OT 1.5 hours to plow x $142.45/h x 45 events = $9,615 Alt 3 Proposed Regular 0.83 hours to plow x $122.64/h x 45 events = $4,581 (7,700 sq ft) OT 0.83 hours to plow x $142.45/h x 45 events = $5,321 No parking signage Purchase and install 3 no parking signs = $350 ALTERNATIVES:

  • 1. Maintain status quo and plow approximately 5,500 square feet while

maintaining the currently expected plowing times for the residents in the area at an approximate annual cost of $2,800 to $3,200.

  • 2. Plow the requested area of approximately 15,000 square feet and delay

service provision to all the residents in the area by at +/- 1.5 hours at an approximate annual cost of between $8,200 to $9,600 plus turnaround upgrades at +/- $3,000. The total for this proposal would be approximately $11,200 to $12,600

  • 3. The Township could plow the area to approximately 110 feet by 70 feet. This

would require an upgrade of approximately $1,000 to the pit floor and could delay plowing to the other resident by another 15 to 20 min each time the crew plows. This could also cause issues to the hours of service legislation,

should delays, weather conditions, road conditions, and/or mechanical issues arise

  • 4. The Township only maintains approximate 2,700 square feet required for a

turnaround for our trucks and the residents in the area plow out their own parking area at their own cost or make arrangements to park elsewhere. LINKAGE TO THE COMMUNITY-BASED STRATEGIC PLAN: This report represents the following strategic priorities:

  • Ensure sound, innovative, transparent financial planning;

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Renew five year contract
  • Increase in costs to dispatch

RECOMMENDATION: WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays receives the staff report “Fire Department Dispatch Contract” dated October 16, 2018; BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign by-law 2018-097 and the appropriate documents to enter into a Dispatch contract with Barrie Fire Services. ORIGIN: In 2014, the Township entered into a 4 ½ year contract with Barrie Fire Services to provide fire call answering and dispatch services to the Township. At that time considerable capital dollars were spent to provide the necessary radio linkage from Barrie to the Township of Lake of Bays. As the contract will end December 31, 2018 the Fire Department proposes that the Township enter into another 5 year contract. This contract will be renewed as per the Township of Lake of Bays Procurement Policy: Section 2.06 Exceptions to Methods of Procurement 1) Non -Competitive Purchases The requirement for competitive bid solicitation for goods and/or services may be waived under joint authority of the CAO and appropriate Department Manager and replaced with direct negotiations with a particular potential supplier under the following circumstances: supply; c) Where only one source of supply would be acceptable and cost effective; BACKGROUND Since 2014 when Barrie Fire began dispatch for Lake Of Bays they have provided service in a professional manner to our residents and provided the support required for responding personnel. Barrie Fire dispatch has the ability to handle our current and future

  • needs. Operating a full service, fire specific communications centre is not an inexpensive

venture, but it is one that Barrie Fire feels is an integral part of the fire service and is something they take pride in offering their customers.

Fire Department Dispatch Contract Page -2 – Oct 16, 2018 Council

Some of the improvements that Barrie Fire will be offering in this contract are listed below:

  • the base rate will now include all options EXCEPT seasonal population

adjustments

  • improved back-up communications centre at 60 Bell Farm Road, complete with

additional radio capabilities and CAD workstations

  • 2020 will bring a full, live backup centre on Fairview Road. Upon completion of this

facility, there will also be access to additional full service desk positions at 155 Dunlop Street West that will assist during high volumes of calls and weather related events

  • additional IT improvements have been made to assist Communications staff with

issues

  • NFPA 1061 training has been completed and staff will challenge the certification

process in 2019 which is ahead of the required timelines Some of the changes:

  • looking at contract language to cover technological change. Next Generation 9-1-1

is upon us and the costs are still unknown. The current provincial plan shows the current 9-1-1 network will be retired some time in 2023. The costs for the new network, associated hardware including telephones, voice logging, CAD and radios all will need some integration changes

  • phase out of fax machines. Keeping old technology working with the upgrades to

CAD will become problematic and alternatives such as television screens in fire stations will need to be looked at by each department FINANCIAL IMPACT Operational Cost As part of Barrie Fire’s analysis they looked at each capital and operating component to scale these amounts to give us what it costs to dispatch for Barrie separately from the

  • customers. They felt this was the appropriate way to give them exactly what it costs them

to provide this service to other Municipalities. Their thorough review of the costs associated with providing communications services indicates that a substantial increase was warranted. These costs were higher than

  • expected. However, after review of the alternatives and their desire to continue to provide

excellent service they have come up with a 2019 rate that will escalate over 5 years to get us more in line with the actual costs of providing this service. Year Base rate Total cost to LOB 2018 - $1.89 $7,940.62 – (EXISTING CONTRACT) 2019 - $2.50 $10,181.53 2020 - $2.65 $11,047.39 2021 - $2.80 $11,686.61 2022 - $2.95 $12,297.50 2023 - $3.10 $12,908.40

ORA (Promoli) October 16th, 2018 Page 2 of 5

The applicants currently have a Licence of Occupation Agreement (LOC 17-03)with the Township to acknowledge the existing encroachments and wish to purchase the subject portion of ORA to legalize title. Should the applicants obtain ownership of the subject ORA, they would then own property abutting the OSRA and could apply to purchase the OSRA. Council’s direction is required as the applicants are unable to provide a comparable or better parcel of land in exchange as required by OS/RA Policy AD-2.9 Section 2.03 (a), contravenes the Township’s Official Plan Section J.83 and abut Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry lands. ANALYSIS: The applicants property, located at 74 Raven Lake, (Property Roll No. 030-003-04500) consists of 0.68 of an acre with 155 feet of frontage (see Appendix ‘A’ – Applicant’s property and surrounding area). APPENDIX ‘A’ – Applicant’s property and surrounding area **NOTE: Public access to Raven Lake is achieved via the Water Access Point and multiple Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry lands. A dwelling (erected around the 1950’s), bunkie and woodshed are all located entirely on the original road allowance (ORA) (see Appendix ‘B’ – Draft Reference Plan of Subject Lands). The applicants obtained a building permit (#2016-339) in 2016 to renovate the

  • dwelling. The topography in the area slopes towards Raven Lake.

ORA (Promoli) October 16th, 2018 Page 3 of 5

The applicants and neighbouring properties access their properties via the water access point or a trail located on MNRF lands to the north of their properties. With the existing structures located on the ORA and access already established, the use of the ORA to provide future access is not viable. APPENDIX ‘B’ – Draft Reference Plan of Subject Lands Staff have consulted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for comment on the application and they have provided no concerns with the sale of the ORA. In addition, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Algonquin Highlands reviewed the ORA application, due to proximity to their boundaries, and have expressed no objections to it being closed. The OS/RA Closure Policy AD-2.9, Section 2.03(a) states: “The Township may close and convey original road allowances when all of the following criteria is met:

  • A comparable or better parcel of land located in the vicinity is provided in

exchange; and

  • Other land owners will not be deprived of the sole vehicular access to their

property; and

  • Applicants must own property directly abutting the road allowance; and
  • The closure will not conflict with Township Official Plan policies, by-laws or

procedures.”

The Township’s Official Plan, Section J.83 states: “Road allowances leading to water should not be closed and conveyed to abutting

  • wners, and will not be conveyed to abutting owners where they would represent

existing public land providing access to a water body, unless a comparable or better parcel located in the vicinity is provided in exchange, and such an exchange would be advantageous to the Township and in the public interest." Staff having reviewed the application cannot support the approval as it does not meet all the criteria of the OS/RA Closure Policy AD-2.9 and does not meet the intent of the Township’s Official Plan. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Not applicable. ALTERNATIVES: Option 1: Deny the application and maintain ownership of the original road allowance

  • Original road allowance would remain in public ownership
  • Applicant would continue with a Licence of Occupation agreement

Option 2: Grant preliminary approval to the application and grant an exemption to OS/RA Policy AD-2.9, Section 2.03 (a)

  • Township can proceed with the application
  • Conveyance of portion of original road allowance will allow the

applicant to legalize title of the existing encroachments

  • Applicant would own property abutting the OSRA and therefore could

apply to purchase LINKAGE TO THE COMMUNITY-BASED STRATEGIC PLAN: This report represents the following strategic priorities:

  • Engage and communicate openly with the community.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Reduction in cost
  • Phase in/out now complete

RECOMMENDATION: WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays receives the staff report “Fire Services Agreement Update”, dated October16, 2018. ORIGIN: Annual reconciliation of the Joint Fire Services Agreement with the Town of Huntsville. ANALYSIS: By-law 12-052 in May 2012 was signed to enter into a Joint Fire Services Agreement with the Town of Huntsville. The agreement included a phase in/out period where the Township of Lake of Bays paid less than the cost of the service for the years 2012 to 2014 and then paying more than the cost of the service from 2015 to 2018 with the expectation that this would level off in 2019 with all costs being paid up to date. Annually reconciliation is done between estimated and actual costs and the amounts are adjusted to keep the agreement intact. In 2017 there were realignments to duties within the Town of Huntsville which affected the administration cost of the fire department. This resulted in a significant reduction and the phase in/out period is now complete 2 years prior to the initial projections. For the Township of Lake of Bays this means a reduction in costs earlier and higher than

  • riginally anticipated.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: As the amount of cost reduction was not complete until completion of 2017 Audited Financial Statements staff proceeded to follow the agreement’s estimated costs for the 2018 budget.

$30,000 Overall: Changes since the last report are all in operations. Revenues have increased mainly due to the supplementary tax billings in August. Costs have decreased mainly because

  • f the adjustment to fire administration costs related to the shared service agreement

with the Town of Huntsville. The areas of responsibility of Parks and Recreation, including parks maintenance, community centers, cemeteries, senior centers and library facilities, all look somewhat skewed after eight months mainly due to the way wages and benefits are being recorded which has changed due to the administration of the new salary grid. Overall the total department in very close to budget and this is monitored on an ongoing basis. The major capital amounts are related to 3 projects that were slated for completion in 2016 and 2017 but were not completed. As they will be financed outside of the tax levy there is no change to the full year forecast. The Baysville West Dock Walkway relates to more being received from Fed Nor than accrued at year end.

ORIGIN: On July 9, 2018 the township was informed that Lakeland Networks would no longer be providing Information Technology (I.T.) support past December 31, 2018. ANALYSIS: A Request for Proposal (R.F.P.) 2018-16 was released July 25, 2018 with a closing date of August 30, 2018. The 5 bids received were opened August 31, 2018 by Laura Blakey, Tax Collector, Erica Cole, Clerk’s Assistant and Tom Gefucia, Treasurer.

Computer Tech CD and Near North Business Machines both used an annual cost based on unlimited hours. Ederick Associates Inc. and Lambda Networks both used annual estimates on estimated hours that would be billed based on whatever hours were actually used. Both companies used estimated hours far above what our current billings are based on.

hardware, network, software and other infrastructure support with any additional work billed on an hourly basis. We did not give estimated hours in the R.F.P. as we wanted the bidder’s version of the work required. Unfortunately only one bidder came for a site visit prior to submitting a bid. Computer Tech and Near North also added fees for installation and startup costs, where the others included that in the hours to be billed. Summary of key components of the bids received Analysis of Proposals: Ederick Associates Inc. is based out of Mississauga Ontario and has a large customer base throughout Canada. The service model is based on remote support with potential next business day on site if absolutely required. We would be a very small customer based on the references supplied. The bid was based on 960 hours so there is concern with the project being much smaller in scope. Northern Nerds is based out of Burk’s Falls Ontario and is a small operation with support of contractors where required. They service several municipalities to the north

  • f Lake of Bays but all are smaller than our municipality. The service model is based on

monthly onsite visits for infrastructure support with remote support and onsite support when required. The president of the company has a background with several large

  • rganizations prior to commencing his own company. This bidder has been onsite to

view the operation and follow up clarification discussions have been had. Computer Tech CD is based in Huntsville Ontario and has provided a service model which includes weekly maintenance and a response system for other support on tiered system based on severity. This is an unlimited hours quote and is based on a set annual cost. The company itself has a customer base of smaller businesses but the technicians involved have experience with larger customers. We have had clarification discussions with this client. Near North Business Machines is based in Huntsville Ontario and have offered a blended remote and onsite solution with an annual cost based on unlimited hours. In the past year they have secured another local municipality with needs greater than Lake of Bays and references are good from this customer. They also service other municipalities and customers within the area. This bidder was onsite prior to the bid and viewed the operation and we have had follow up clarification conversations. Lambda Networks is based in Pickering Ontario but have a local connection to access technicians for onsite work. This company also has clients across Canada. This bid was based on 991 hours, 70% of which was remote support and the balance estimated at same day or 1-2 day onsite support. This bidder has been onsite to view the operation and informed that the scope is smaller than their estimate. With our current supplier we have changed from a mostly remote service to a more

  • nsite service arrangement. Lakeland has been coming onsite biweekly, and we find

that this method has resulted in greater efficiencies and the township staff appreciates the face to face contact in assisting with their concerns. The Tax Collector will continue to be the township point of contact and handle as much as possible in house to gain efficiencies wherever possible. The township, in conjunction with Lakelands Networks, is proactive in the management

  • f networks, security and software. With the introduction of fibre in October 2017 there

are now many more options available. Through this R.F.P. process it has come to light that some updates both hardware and software, particularly in the area of servers would offer better protection of the township information and this has been included in the 2019 capital budget in the amount of $35,000. Lakeland Networks has recommended many of the same areas of concern and they have been addressed on a regular basis but given the items in the news about

  • ther municipalities we believe they should be addressed in 2019. Similar

recommendations in this area have come from both Near North Business Machines and Northern Nerds. Near North Business has identified 3 main areas of concern that they have estimated at a cost of $ 27,645 plus H.S.T. As a part of the bid they will not take on the contract unless the township gives a written commitment that this work will be completed in

  • 2019. This is very difficult given the upcoming election to commit to.

Northern Nerds has identified similar areas but would explore further if given the

  • contract. No cost estimate was provided.

Staff has performed reference checks for both Northern Nerds and Near North Business Machines. Near North provided two municipal references one larger and one smaller than LOB and provided a good reference. Three references were checked for Northern Nerds and all were very similar and happy with the service. Given the analysis of all of the bids, clarifications where required, reference checks, and the determination of what works best for the township staff recommends accepting the bid of Northern Nerds. Contract terms are very flexible but would involve a service level agreement detailing provision of service, terms, billing and payment, support services, confidentiality, security, integrity, termination indemnification, limitation of liability and warranty and any

  • ther details that would be required. Northern Nerds is adequately insured.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Based on the average Lakeland Network usage of 350 hours the comparative cost is $33,617.50. Acceptance of this proposal would keep estimated future costs in line with what the Township of Lake of Bays has been experiencing in the past few years if the hours required are close to the 350 annually. ALTERNATIVES: Not applicable, for information only. LINKAGE TO THE COMMUNITY-BASED STRATEGIC PLAN: This report represents the following strategic priorities:

  • Engage and communicate openly with the community;
  • Develop a sustainable local economy that supports our Vision;
  • Ensure sound, innovative, transparent financial planning;
  • Work in collaborative partnerships;
