Dear Honourable Marc Garneau:

RE: Enforcement of "No Wake" Restriction Legislation.

The Council of the Corporation of Tay Valley Township at its Council meeting on May 1oth, 2016 adopted the following resolution:

RESOLUTION #C-2016-04-35

"WHEREAS, the Office of Boating Safety, which administers the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations (VORRS) pursuant to the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, has advised that the issue of "No Wake" is currently addressed by limiting the speed or power of a vessel;

AND WHEREAS, the Office of Boating Safety has advised that "No Wake" is not a restriction found in the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, or its regulations, and therefore is not an enforceable restriction;

AND WHEREAS, a boat's wake can do a great deal of damage, including:

• the erosion of shorelines • the swamping of nests of loons and other waterfowls • the damaging of docks and vessels moored at docks and at marina that

has pumps • the danger to swimmers • the interference with safe navigation • the disruption of wetland habitat • the upsetting of canoes and small boats, especially in narrow channels;

5.1 Tactics and Rescue Unit Presentation

Chief DeRuyter introduced Inspector Gary Male, who oversees the Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU), Sergeant Cory Sherratt and Sergeant Cliff Russell, who presented the work of Tactics and Rescue Unit to the Board.

The primary objective of unit is the protection oflife in all types of calls, including incidents involving firearms or an armed person; actual, threatened or implied use of a weapon; barricaded persons; emotionally disturbed persons; hostage situations; court/special event security, high risk prisoner escorts, high risk canine, high risk arrests; high risk warrants; witness protection; VIP protection; high angle rescue; and high risk vehicle stops/assaults.

Tactical officers have full unit weekly training and a one-week spring/fall training session. Many personnel are part of the Critical Response Team and involved in a high risk call, including the Incident Commander, Tactical Commander, Tactics and Rescue Unit officers and support officers. The Unit has fourteen members in two teams, with specialty training in rappelling, sniping, breaching, chemical munitions, and use of the robot, to name a few. Time, Talk, Tactics are three levels of response to a call.

Surrounding police services have drones, which are used for search and rescue, and accident reconstruction, shortening the time of investigation. The Recon Scout and ICOR Caliber T5 robots are used for stealth clearing, dynamic entry and immediate action rapid deployment.

The TRU patrols the downtown on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from midnight to 4 a.m. Relationship-building is very important; to meet the community at open house, Ribfest, various programs for kids and other avenues where the officers have public exposure.

J. Sorbara thanked the officers for the excellent and informative presentation.

6. STRATEGIC ITEMS

6.1 Headquarter Renovation and Expansion Report

Chief DeRuyter reported that construction fencing had been erected on the east end in preparation for exterior demolition, and hoarding was installed to create the construction area within so that internal demolition can begin. A ground-breaking ceremony took place on April 21, 2016. Bi-weekly construction team meetings are ongoing. A plan has been developed for temporary parking for fleet vehicles with appropriate signage and security in the Fountain Street parking lot. A new Monthly Executive Summary was developed and presented to the Board. Documentation continues to be developed by the Steering Committee and will be presented to the Board at the May meeting.

6.2 2016 Special Olympics Spring Games

ChiefDeRuyter reported that Special Olympics day held on April12, 2016 was a success. Banners are displayed throughout downtown Guelph. Adopt-an-Athlete profiles are being produced. The "Friends and Family" dinner planned for May 27, 2016 for 450 people is expected to sell out. Over 1000 friends and family have registered for the Games to date. The Mall Toll on Easter Sunday raised $6,200, $1,000 of which was given back to Stone Road Mall to support their charities. The total sponsorship cash is $176,000, which is $26,000 over goal; total in-kind sponsorship is $148,000, excluding the University's contribution, which is $48,500 over goal, and the total events income is $60,120, which is $20,120 over goal. Adopt-an-Athlete is the only area behind the goal of$49,000. The Handbook for coaches and athletes is being developed and medals will be unveiled shortly. Upcoming events are the Waterloo Regional Police Service Male Chorus on April 23rd and the Muddy Grape Run on May 7th.

7. OPERATIONAL ITEMS

7.1 Financial Variance Preliminary Year End Report (2015)

Chief DeRuyter thanked K. Hand for her detailed report. K. Hand reported that preliminary 2015 operating results indicate an Operating Surplus of$725,775 and represents a positive 2% variance to the full year operating budget. This includes a surplus of $778,000 in position vacancies; a deficit of $208,000 in overtime, which is due to prolonged position vacancies, high levels of member accommodation and a business review process that paused position recruitment on some civilian positions until a review of job requirements was completed; and a surplus of $42,000 in travel and training, due to lower travel expenses. Overall, the operating surplus is primarily due to position vacancy savings and higher revenues. The revenue favorability of$315,000 is due to higher grant revenues including the Youth in Policing Initiative, the Provincial Strategy to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet, and Proceeds of Crime, which are

Page 15: INFORMATION ITEMS - City of Guelphguelph.ca/wp-content/uploads/info_items_052716.pdf · Hon. Steven Del Duca, MPP Minister of Transportation 3rd Floor, Ferguson Block 77 Wellesley

Public Meeting Minutes April21, 2016 Page 4 of8

all equally offset by expenditures. There was also a revenue surplus of$122,000 from the by-law user fees. Special Duty, record check and fingerprinting revenues were also over budget due to increased volumes, but offset by compensation paid to officers to complete special duty assignments.

The operating surplus has been between 0.4% and 2.0% of the total operating budget for the previous five years. The City's Year End Operating Surplus Policy allows for the Guelph Police Services Board to request in writing that our surplus be allocated to support police operations. Within the operating results, there are contributions to both the police and city reserves each year, used to fund sick leave payments, headquarters renovation and equipment lifecycle replacement capital projects. There was a negative balance ofWSIB expenses in 2015 as expenses exceeded the amount collected from the budget.

C. Guthrie entered the meeting at 3:56p.m.

In 2015, $2,948,325 was spent on capital expenditures. Over 50% of the spending was on the Headquarters Renovation and Expansion Project. The next largest area of spending was Vehicle Replacement at 25% followed by Information Technology Hardware at 11%. All Lifecycle Replacement projects closed in a surplus position with the exception of Body Armour. The E-Ticketing project has completed the pilot phase and has been rolled out across the organization. The next phase is to automate the transfer of information from police to the City courts department. The Radio Risk Study will be closed as a consultant has completed a study for the upcoming radio infrastructure purchase shared with Fire. $100,000 has been used to purchase IT equipment for the Headquarter renovation.

C. Guthrie questioned whether the motion could state that the surplus be allocated to a general fund rather than the Headquarter Expansion and Renovation reserve as the request makes it look like the project is expected to go over budget. J. Sorbara advised that the City had previously denied the Board to create a general reserve fund. L. Griffiths noted that the extra funding could be used to offset the unexpected Hydro costs, which will be completely carried in the budget of $34M. L. Piper noted that the budget surplus could be utilized to reduce the amount of funding required to be debentured for the headquarters renovation project. The motion stood as recommended.

Moved by L. Piper Seconded by C. Guthrie THAT the Guelph Police Services Board forward a request to City Council that the projected Police Operating Surplus of $725,775 be transferred to the Police Headquarters Renovation reserve to fund the Headquarter Expansion and Renovation Project. -CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY-

7.2 Professional Standards Quarterly Report

From January 1 to March 31,2016, the Guelph Police Service received eight new

Public Meeting Minutes April21, 2016 Page 5 of8

public complaints, four of which were assigned to the Professional Standards Branch (PSB), three have been retained by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) and one to an outside police agency by the OIPRD for investigation. Of the four matters assigned to the PSB, two complaints were withdrawn by the complainants and two are being actively investigated. Of the three complaints retained by the OIPRD, two have been combined as they stem from the same incident involving the same officers. One internal investigation was initiated and no Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigations were undertaken. There have been no Requests for Review during this quarter.

From 2015, two OIPRD investigations have been closed, seven remain outstanding and of those seven, the SIU has invoked its mandate in three investigations, and once those are concluded, the PSB will continue with the OIPRD investigation. Two SIU investigations initiated in the second quarter of2015 have been closed and the Director has indicated that there will be no further action and no criminal offences occurred by members of the Guelph Police Service. Two internal investigations were closed, one has been completed and is awaiting signing of an agreement, and one is awaiting disposition.

7.3 Use of Force Quarterly Report

Chief DeRuyter reported that from January 1 to March 31, 2016, Guelph Police officers attended to 22 incidents where either one or more levels of force were required to bring the situation to a peaceful and successful resolution. 67 levels of force were used. All Use of Force reports submitted were reviewed and in all of the incidents, the officers were justified in using the force that was outlined in the report. Each officer assessed the situation and responded with the most appropriate force option taking into account officer safety, public safety and subject safety. There was a significant increase in this quarter this year over the previous four years, which is reflective of the challenges we have in our community.

7.4 Human Resources Report

T. Harris, Human Resources Manager, presented the Human Resources Report. All cadets have college or university education.

C. Polonenko noted that from January 1 to March 31, 2016, there were receipts of $1,014.19 and disbursements of$5,400.00 in the Community Account, but noted that after the reporting period, the account received $1,056.24, bringing the Community Account balance to $2,810.48 as of April 7, 2016. She also reported that on May 16,2016, an investment in the amount of$10,621.38 will mature and recommended that $3,000.00 be moved to the Community Account to keep a positive cash flow, and reinvest the remaining amount for a one year period due to the fact that interest rates are currently low.

Moved by L. Piper Seconded by D.
