2017 Town Hall Sessions

Each year LAS tours the province to introduce Ontario municipalities to program and service opportunities

aimed at helping them Save Money, Make Money & Build Capacity. In 2017 our sessions focus on new and

improved service offerings - including two new road and street based services to assist with municipal

asset management. Join us for a few hours at the location nearest you and enjoy some lunch as we share

information about programs & services designed to help you overcome some of your biggest challenges.

Fleet Management Service Fleets are necessary to municipal operations, but

emissions are not. Launched in January 2017, this

forward thinking service offers vehicle modelling &

monitoring to help municipalities manage and select

the most appropriate vehicle when electrifying their

fleets. Find out how this service can position your

municipality as a leader in the fight against GHG

emissions and climate change.

Roads Assessment Service Roughly 1/3 of Ontario’s roads are in poor to very

poor condition and maintaining them chews up a

large portion of a municipal budget. Coming to

Ontario municipalities in April 2017, this innovative

service assists with asset management, capital

planning and maintenance decisions related to one

of the most important municipal assets – roads!

Fuel In August of 2016, LAS added a second supplier to

its fuel program to help lower fuel costs for Ontario

municipalities. This session will outline the how the

program works, the fuel types available, differences

between the two vendors, and explain the analysis

process that determines just how much money your

municipality could save.

Sewer & Water Line Warranty Service Every year municipalities are inundated with calls

about sewer and water lateral failures that are

actually the responsibility of the resident. Learn

how this service provides your residents with a low

cost warranty option covering the cost of repair or

replacement of this critical infrastructure and how

you can bring it to your municipality.

Energy Training LAS has expanded its energy-training portfolio to

make it easier for members to participate. LAS will

come to your municipality with a workshop

customized to meet your specific needs. Learn

about the new suite of energy training opportunities

available to your municipality aimed at reducing

energy use and related costs.

From: AMO Communications [mailto:communicate@amo.on.ca] Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2017 4:01 PM To: Karen Desroches Subject: AMO Policy Update - Highlights of Bill 68: Modernizing Municipal Legislation

March 8, 2017 

Highlights of Bill 68 – Modernizing Municipal Legislation 

Proposed Changes to Municipal Act (MA), Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (MCIA), Municipal Elections Act

(MEA) and several other Acts. 

Bill 68 Status: 

With the legislature back in session, the House debate on the Bill has resumed. Timing for the Standing Committee hearing could be this month, earlier than previously anticipated. AMO will complete its request for amendments shortly. Some proposed changes are welcome and others are problematic from a policy or implementation lens. We will be asking legislators to make certain that any changes are clear, fair, and do not generate unintended consequences. 

Bill 68 Content: Some highlights follow:  

Proposed Integrity Commissioner (IC) Regime:  

The most significant proposal is to the authority and related provisions of a new and greatly expanded municipal Integrity Commissioner (IC) regime. It is to apply to all municipal councils and local boards in Ontario. This part of the Bill provides the most significant challenges. 

The Bill’s IC accountability framework treats municipal governments and its local boards in a manner that is in stark contrast to the provincial government’s own integrity regime. The latter is narrower – limited to MPP complaints of another MPP, current and former public servants, and staff in MPP offices. Like that regime, members of council and local boards can seek advice on a matter from a municipal IC for matters related to the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (MCIA) and municipal code of conduct. Codes of Conduct for all councils and local boards will be mandatory across Ontario.  

AMO believes that the intent of providing other recourses besides the courts is worthy. However, the proposed IC regime goes too far, too fast. It brings an untried

complexity that could result in unintended consequences and costs that will be difficult to determine let alone manage.  

In making the IC regime mandatory for all municipal governments and local boards, the following are some of the key challenges identified with the Bill:  

Its application to members of all local boards (even those without decision-making authority and those without a council representative on them) may dampen the interest of citizens willing to join local boards, which would be an unfortunate outcome. Educating and training these boards is no small task based on the experience of the introduction of closed meeting investigators.  

Any "person" anywhere can make a code of conduct or MCIA complaint whether they are an elector or not and whether or not they are doing business with the municipal government or its boards which makes the administration such as Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) and budgeting extremely unpredictable;  

MCIA sets out principles of the duties of members’ councils and local boards but it is silent on the duties of complainant nor is there any real onus on complainants;  

Where there are joint service boards, it is unclear which municipal IC has jurisdiction or how it is to be determined and other rules applied;  

Are ICs in effect ‘officers’ of the municipal government – similar to provision that a municipal clerk is a designated position in the Municipal Act;  

It is unclear whether the authority to impose penalties could be delegated by council or local board to the IC and should there be a greater range of penalties at this stage of the process in light of the greater range of penalties available to a judge should a matter end up in the courts; and  

Determining how to have an IC (e.g., own, shared, functional relationships; budget requirements; administration set up; managing MFIPPA, etc.) is more complex than the mandatory closed meeting investigator system and will require at least 18 months before proclamation.  

Meetings: 

The proposed definition of a meeting is welcome and should put to end the inconsistency that has been used by office of the Ontario Ombudsman and other closed meeting investigators;  

Three new exceptions to resolve some of the difficulties of the original framework but will require amendment. For example, the Province or agencies of the Crown may supply confidential information and, municipal governments and municipal share corporations should be added to that list as they can supply another municipal government or entity with confidential information;  

Proposed authority for each council to decide locally whether or not it wants to adopt a policy on electronic meetings and the related rules except that a person joining electronically cannot be counted for quorum; and  

Temporary replacement at an upper tier meeting where a lower tier councillor is to be absent is helpful but could benefit from the alternate being designated for a period of time rather than sporadically so there is some knowledge of the upper tier’s procedures and other policies.  

A few other matters:  

Working with the Municipal Finance Officers Association (MFOA), we want to see that all municipal governments can benefit from improved investment authority offered by a prudent investor standard approach, done in a way that doesn’t create new internal administration for municipal governments;  

Proposal to move council start of term to November 15 to help manage some of the unintended consequences of a longer period between the now earlier election date of October and term of council;  

Proposal to put a limit on ‘self funding’ election campaigns;   Clarify that municipal bylaws can have effect in areas under conservation

authorities and clear authority to regulate advertising devices; and   All councils to develop policies related to council-employee relationships; also

pregnancy and parental leave of council members.

CIP 1 2017 Public Sector March 6-10, 2017 Salary Disclosure Report TR-2017-4 Disclosure for 2016

STAFF REPORT

DEPARTMENT: Treasury

CHAIR: Councillor G. Canning DATE: March 3, 2017 Report No.: TR-2017-4: 2017 Public Sector Salary Disclosure –

Disclosure for 2016 RECOMMENDATION: That Council receive this report as information. BACKGROUND: The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 (PSSDA) and the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Amendment Act, 2004 were passed to make Ontario's public sector more open and accountable to taxpayers. The Act applies to the Government of Ontario ministries, Crown Agencies, Municipalities, Hospitals, Boards of Public Health, School Boards, Universities, Colleges, Hydro One, Ontario Power Generation, and other public sector employers who receive a significant level of funding from the provincial government. The Act requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario to disclose annually the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year. Organizations covered by the Act are required to send their disclosure or, if applicable, to make their statement of no employee salaries to disclose statement to their funding ministry by the fifth working day of March. The Town of Midland releases applicable salary information for employees of the Midland Public Library Board and the Midland Police Services Board because as per the Act S2. (1) (c) the definition of “public sector” applies to every local board as defined by the Municipal Affairs Act and every authority, board, commission, corporation, office or organization of persons some or all of whose members, directors or officers are appointed or chosen by or under the authority of the council of the corporation of a municipality in Ontario, subject to the Government funding condition in subsection (2). Subsection 2 states “A body referred to in clause (c), (g), (h) or (k) of the definition of “public sector” in subsection (1) is included in the definition of “public sector” in a year only if the body received funding from the Government of Ontario in that year of an amount that is at least

CIP 2 2017 Public Sector March 6-10, 2017 Salary Disclosure Report TR-2017-4 Disclosure for 2016

equal to, (a) $1,000,000; or (b) 10 per cent of the body’s gross revenues for the year if that percentage is $120,000 or more. The Town has released salary information for employees in accordance with the legislation. An employer cannot be held liable for making a disclosure in accordance with the Act, or if the employer reasonably believed it was required to make the disclosure. A non-disclosure clause in an employment contract can't be used to avoid disclosure. The Act authorizes the employer to release only certain information. The Ministry recommends that the employees are informed about the disclosure before the information is released. The Town has informed all affected employees. ANALYSIS: All organizations that are covered by this Act must prepare a list each year of the employees who were paid $100,000 or more the year before, with their name, position, salary and the value of their taxable benefits. The $100,000 figure means salary before taxes, and does not include taxable benefits. However, for those who are paid $100,000 or more, the total value of these taxable benefits must be disclosed. The Act does not authorize employers to disclose what the specific benefits are. The disclosure for 2016 included 35 employees.

The definition of salary paid is identical to that of Box 14 of the Canada Revenue Agency T4 slip which can contain amounts other than regular or base salary. It includes payments for vacation not taken, severance/salary continuance, retroactive payments, overtime, sick payouts, acting rank pay, standby pay, time spent in court and paid duties. For the police, pay duty is funded from outside sources, largely Central North Correction Centre (CNCC). In 2016, pay duty recovery from all sources totalled $83K. Even though the paid duty is reimbursed, the cost appears in the salary as officers are:

CIP 3 2017 Public Sector March 6-10, 2017 Salary Disclosure Report TR-2017-4 Disclosure for 2016

i) Limited to the amount of overtime they can bank ii) Required to be paid out for CNCC duty iii) Paid out at overtime rates for paid duty which therefore impacts the

public sector salary disclosure list. Other factors can also increase the amount of overtime worked by police officers and fire fighters, including sick call-ins. CONCLUSIONS: The Town of Midland is complying with the legislation. The information we submit becomes part of a compendium on public sector employees that is published by the Ontario Government and will be available to the public on or after March 31st on the Ministry website at http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/english/publications/salarydisclosure/2016/index.html. Each organization must make the list available on their premises, in a place where any member of the public can easily see and review it. The list must be available for inspection without charge between March 31 and December 31 of the year it is disclosed. The organization must provide a copy, even after the period noted above, and may charge 20 cents per page. As recommended by the Ministry, the Town notifies staff whose information is being disclosed. In past years, the local media have accessed and published some of this information in the local papers.

March 6, 2017

Dear Colleagues,

It will come as no surprise that, over the past several months, our government has beenhearing from many parts of Ontario about the impacts of recent pupil accommodationreviews, particularly in Ontario’s rural and remote communities. Our governmentsupports and values all communities in Ontario, and our school boards andmunicipalities must make every effort to work together to ultimately support positiveexperiences for our students and the communities they live in.

As you know, school closures and consolidations are among the most difficult decisionsthat school boards have to make. This is especially true in our rural and remotecommunities. Ontario entrusts school boards with the responsibility to review theirschool accommodation needs and for ensuring that student achievement and well-beingare supported by all accommodation decisions that are made.

However, we also know that some parts of Ontario face demographic challenges, whileothers are seeing considerable growth. We want to assure all of our community partnersthat our government is committed to finding solutions to meet both local needs and theeducational needs of Ontario’s students.

Starting this spring, our government will launch an engagement on new approaches tosupporting education in rural and remote communities. Three Parliamentary Assistants,MPPs Granville Anderson, Grant Crack, and Lou Rinaldi, will gather feedback on howour province can further strengthen the future of rural education. We are also pleased toprovide you with an update on how our government will further support local decision-making and complete communities moving forward.

Pursuing Joint-Use Opportunities between School Boards

Communities and the province expect Ontario’s four school systems to maximize theopportunities of co-location. Prior to commencing with student accommodation changesthrough closures, it is our government’s strong preference that school boards fullyexplore joint accommodation arrangements with coterminous boards, particularly tomaintain a school presence in a rural or isolated community. Of the 4,900 schools inOntario, only 37 are currently joint-use arrangements in which pupils from one or moreboards share a facility.

Ontario

In July 2013, prior to the launch of the Ministry of Education’s 2014 Capital Prioritiesprogram, the Ministry stated a preference for these joint-use projects, committing toreview these proposals before any others. Additionally, the Ministry of Education hascommitted $600,000 to assist school boards in pursuing joint-use school opportunitiesbetween school boards. This funding is being allocated to support school boards withfacilitation and joint planning towards the potential development of joint-use schoolproposals, as well as on studies being commissioned by the Ministry of Education tohighlight joint-use experiences and develop a joint-use school toolkit that can be used toassist school boards in developing joint-use schools.

Moving forward, the Ministry of Education will be reviewing all capital proposalssubmitted by school boards for ministry funding for new schools, additions orconsolidation projects to ensure joint-use opportunities between boards have been fullyexplored before funding is granted.

Importance of School Board and Municipal Partnerships

We have recently had the pleasure of speaking with many of our municipal and schoolboard partners. These conversations have highlighted many positive examples ofcollaboration and joint local planning between school boards and municipalities. But wehave also heard about potential inconsistencies and difficulties in current communitycollaboration, including instances where municipalities and communities have not feltmeaningfully engaged in pupil accommodation reviews. These difficulties can arise formany reasons, but we would like to remind school boards and municipalities of the toolswe have provided to facilitate an effective process and provincial expectations withrespect to engagement by involved parties:

• Annual Community Consultation: Reforms to Ontario’s Planning Act andDevelopment Charges Act were made in 2015 to help create more completecommunities and to provide citizens a greater, more meaningful say in how theirneighbourhoods grow. The Ministry of Education’s Community Planning andPartnerships Guideline was also introduced in 2015 to ensure that each schoolboard hosted at least one meeting each year to discuss their capital plans andopportunities for joint planning and facility partnerships with relevant communitiesand stakeholders. We have heard from some boards that these meetings are notwell attended, and from some communities that they were not aware of them. It isimperative that these meetings involve all relevant stakeholders, and facilitatereal dialogue between boards and the involved communities. Further, boardpolicies must reflect this guideline prior to the commencement of newaccommodation reviews. To be effective, these meetings require communityengagement and attendance and a spirit of real partnership from all parties.

.13

-3-

Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline: Updates to the PupilAccommodation review guideline in 2015 were introduced following consultationswith school boards, municipalities and other community partners to enable amore effective review process. This included a new requirement that impactedmunicipalities and community partners are consulted regarding the potentialaccommodation changes. It is our expectation that this is a meaningfulengagement from both boards and municipalities, and that full input andfeedback from the municipalities, including local economic and communityimpacts where relevant are reflected in the final staff report and advice totrustees. The new process also requires boards to put forward concreteproposals in the form of initial staff recommendations. These should not beinterpreted as pre-determined outcomes, but rather as a means to ensurefocused engagement.

Our government expects school boards and communities to be making active andcontinual efforts to facilitate positive, inclusive relationships with each-other.

The changes made in 2015 to the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline alsochanged the minimum requirement for the school information profiles shared at thecommencement of an accommodation review to no longer require information outliningthe value of the school to the local economy. This change was made to reflect inputfrom school boards that this information was not readily available or in their area ofexpertise and could be better reflected in the input from municipal and communitypartners.

While accommodation decisions must support student achievement and well-being as aprimary goal, this change was not intended to discount the importance of engagementwith communities to understand the impact of accommodation changes or to disallowboards from considering the impacts on communities and local economies from theirfinal reports or deliberations.

Going forward, our government will be considering how community impact could beincluded in the pupil accommodation process, included with anticipated impacts onstudent achievement, transportation and outcomes. We will work with municipalities andschool boards to explore how the government can best support this type of analysis inthe pupil accommodation review process.

Enabling Community Hubs in Schools

Through the Premier’s special advisor Karen Pitre, our government has beenconsidering how we can use public property in a manner that takes into account thebest interests of local communities. A community hub can be a school, neighbourhoodcentre or other public space that offers co-ordinated services such as education, earlyyears support, health care and social services.

.14

-4-

Many schools have some space that is or could be used by community organizationsthrough lease or other arrangements when the space is not required for school use.The province has encouraged school boards to work with local communities and in2015 released the Ministry of Education’s Community Planning Partnership Guideline tohelp facilitate these opportunities.

We have also made a number of investments to support this goal, including:

• Capital Funding for Community Hub School Retrofits: The Ministry ofEducation announced $50 million in November 2016 to support retrofits ofavailable school space for use by new community partners, or improveaccessibility for schools to enable community use.

• Capital Funding for Community Replacement Space: In the event that anoriginal school location that housed community partnerships is closed or sold,capital funding will be available for replacement space for eligible communitypartners in new schools, additions or retrofits to existing schools. Detailsregarding eligibility for this new program will be announced ahead of the Ministryof Education’s 2017 Capital Priorities program request for submissions.

Surplus schools have also been identified as potential community hubs in somecommunities, and our government is serious about taking the next steps on thisstrategy:

• New Rules for Disposition or Lease of Surplus Property: Changes to 0. Reg.444/98 doubled the current minimum surplus school circulation period from 90 to180 days, and expanded the list of organizations that can place an offer beforesurplus school property is placed on the open market. This is intended to enablepotential community hub projects to reuse surplus school properties where thereis a viable business plan and identified partnerships necessary to develop acommunity hub

• Disposition of Surplus School Board property: In 2017-1 8, we will also beproceeding with the recommendation in the Community Hubs StrategicFramework and Action Plan to consider supporting the sale of surplus schools atless than fair market value, where there is a provincial interest to enable viablecommunity hubs, while keeping school boards whole.

• Community Hubs Summit: We are also pleased to announce that the OntarioCommunity Hubs Summit will be held from May 1-3, 2017, which will featurekeynote speakers, hands-on workshops and opportunities to interact with andlearn from others.

.15

-5-

Recognizing that planning for strategic partnerships cannot be developed quickly oreasily, in instances where communities and school boards see innovative solutions tolocal needs with opportunities for potential community hubs in school propertiesinvolved in accommodation reviews, we are requesting that school boards andmunicipalities with opportunities advise the Ministry of Education’s Capital Policy andPrograms Branch and the Ministry of Infrastructure’s Community Hubs Division atcommunity.hubs~2ontario.ca preferably before the Community Hubs Summit. We willendeavor to work with the partners to ensure that these opportunities are consideredwithin existing resources. In some cases, this could include providing facilitationservices that would help community organizations, municipalities, and school boardsdevelop their proposals for community hubs.

Enhancing Education in Rural and Remote Communities

Ontario’s rural and remote communities have been impacted by a diversity of socioeconomic trends. We also know that the future will not look like the past. For our ruralcommunities to thrive, our government knows that students must be supported by high-quality education, strong local community programming, and innovative local economicstrategies. That’s why we’ve taken the following actions to support our rural and remoteschools:

• Supporting Broadband Expansion: Our government is moving forward with itscommitment in the 2016 Ontario Budget to provide secure, affordable broadbandaccess to all of Ontario’s students and educators, especially in northern andremote parts of Ontario, to enable equitable access to rich and innovativelearning opportunities.

• Supporting E-Learning Opportunities: Our government provides secureaccess to the provincial Virtual Learning Environment which supports delivery ofeLearning courses that otherwise might not be available close to a student’shome. Additionally, we are investing over $6 million for distance learning deliveryby the Independent Learning Centre of TVO that helps students from a variety ofbackgrounds gain necessary education credentials. Together these supportequitable and timely access to credit courses.

• Remote & Rural Funding Support for School Boards: We have made theeducation funding formula less dependent on enrolment. Since 2012-1 3, annualGSN funding for rural boards has increased by nearly $200 million or 5.7 percent. In addition, we have made the following changes the funding formula tomeet the unique needs of rural and remote communities:

o Increased funding to support the higher cost of purchasing goods andservices for small and rural school boards;

.16

-6-

o Investments in top-up supports for rural schools to fund the heating,lighting and maintenance costs of excess spaces in schools that are aconsiderable distance from the next closest school;

o Introduced new factors that reflect distance and dispersion of schools inthe distribution of special education funding;

o Funding for additional principals in schools that combine elementary andsecondary students, depending on enrolment levels; and

o Funding to support a minimum number of teachers and early childhoodeducators for remote schools with small enrolment.

It is our hope that our engagement this coming spring will allow us to highlight furtheropportunities that will proactively enhance the quality and delivery of education in ruraland remote communities in Ontario. We will work with our partners to finalize the detailsof this engagement process and share these in the coming weeks.

Conclusion

There are a number of initiatives across government that are working to ensure that wehave complete communities — whether they are urban, rural, northern or remote. Eachcommunity has different needs and together we need to make sure we are workingtogether.

We welcome your thoughts and suggestions as we continue to evolve to meet thechanging demographics and needs of our communities.

Sincerely,

Dear Gordon McKay,

I am pleased to present you with a copy of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce’s (0CC)inaugural Ontario Economic Report (OER), a landmark agenda aimed at shaping andinforming future public policy in the province. The OER will be at the core of the OCC’sadvocacy and research efforts going forward. It includes entirely new economic analyses,which demonstrates the difficulties and opportunities faced by Ontario businesses andconsumers in your community, in our current economic environment.

The report details the results of the OCC’s new Business Confidence Survey, a BusinessProsperity Index and an Economic Outlook for 2017. These datasets, viewed together~ revealbroad challenges to Ontario’s economic health.

While Ontario enjoyed an average 2.6 percent real GDP growth rate between 2000 and2006, the source of wealth generated from the production of goods and services actuallydeclined by 12 percent during that same period. Since the recovery from the 2008 recession,production activities have fallen a further 12 percent Broadly, this means Ontario’s businessprosperity has increasingly dependent upon non-production, financial activities.

This challenge is a result of the current economic environment, in which increased costsassociated with production, regulation and housing have resulted in weak market and labourforce activity. Businesses in Ontario are operating in a risk-averse environment in which theyare disinclined to grow production by investing or hiring. There is an opportunity within thiscontextto develop public policies that encourage businessesto invest and grow ratherthanhold onto their capital.

Looking ahead, our 2017 policy advocacy will focus on workforce and skills development,environment and infrastructure, health transformation, and international trade. Central tothe work of the Chamber Network is the notion that industry and government can tacklethese issues together in orderto shape the public policy conversation, grow the province’s

NOTICE OF HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENT PROJECT ZBA-02-17

ZONING BY-LAW 2004-90 As directed by Council, the Town’s Planning and Building Services Department has commenced the preparation of a Housekeeping Amendment to Zoning By-law 2004-90. The proposed Housekeeping Amendment is intended to address a number of formatting, interpretation and technical issues that have been identified through the day-to-day use of the By-law. In addition, the Housekeeping Amendment would propose to address those Zoning recommendations from the Downtown Master Plan that can be implemented without an amendment to the Town’s Official Plan. The principles that will guide the Housekeeping Amendment are:

• Changes should improve the clarity and format of the By-law to make it as “user friendly” as possible.

• Implement historic interpretations directly into the text of the By-law. • New standards and regulations should be added only to fill an identified gap in the By-law. • Correct errors and omissions in the By-law that can be determined definitively. • All changes must be in conformity with the Town’s Official Plan and not require an amendment

thereto. The Issues identified to be considered for proposed amendments are as follows:

1. Downtown Master Plan Zoning recommendations Implementation. 2. Proposed regulations for Sea Containers (Sea Bins or Sea Cans). 3. Addressing the Zoning for those properties within the Urban Service Area that are currently

not connected to Municipal services. 4. Proposed Amendments addressing a range of omissions, clarifications and corrections as set

out in Staff Report PL-2015-5. 5. Proposed regulations for Boarding, Lodging and Rooming Houses.

The Housekeeping Amendment Project will include a full Public consultation process including a Public Open House and a statutory Public Meeting as required under the Planning Act. A hard copy of Staff Report PL-2017-5 respecting the Housekeeping Amendment Project is available for viewing at the Town Hall during regular office hours. A Housekeeping Amendment Project page on the Town’s website will be set up shortly. If you have additional questions with respect to the proposed Housekeeping Amendment, please contact the Planning and Building Services Department at extension 2214.
