12. ADJOURNMENT

ROYAL CANADIAN SEA CADET CORPS

ADMIRAL NELLES

Backgrounder: Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps ADMIRAL NELLES

Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps ADMIRAL NELLES was established in Brantford in 1940. Since then, local youth ages 12-18 have been part of a dynamic program that encourages them to Accept Challenge; Make Friends; and Go Far.

Brantford Sea Cadets undergo training in leadership and teamwork, instructional technique, community service, positive social relations, physical fitness and healthy living, ropework, safe boat operation, sailing, and much more. This training allows them to meet the aim of the Sea Cadet Program which is to instill in youth the values of citizenship and leadership; promote physical fitness; and stimulate an interest in the Royal Canadian Navy.

Sea Cadets is a program that is free to join, there are no dues or fees, uniforms are provided free of charge. The program is sponsored by the Department of National Defence and the civilian Navy League of Canada, which is represented locally by the Navy League of Canada – Brantford Branch which is a United Way Member Agency. Cadets are not members of the Canadian Forces, are not expected to join the military, and are free to the leave the program at any time.

To facilitate this training, cadets from RCSCC ADMIRAL NELLES and other Corps throughoutWestern Ontario Area take part in an annual Sea Training and Sports Competition where cadets apply knowledge learned locally in friendly and spirited competition with cadets from other Corps. This year, the competition was held on February 25th and 26th 2012 in London, Ontario. The results for our Brantford Sea Cadets were outstanding with five 1st Place results, three 2nd

place results, and two 3rd Place Results. In addition to these outstanding results, the Corps as a whole was a recipient of a Sportsmanship Award in recognition of the Corps commitment to fair play and hard work.

These results are more impressive considering the Sea Cadets have been busy trying to raise the $18 000 required to have a Fire Alarm System installed in their building on Waterloo Street which will allow the Corps to have Overnight Activities, to date their Operation: Fill the Deck campaign has raised over $6000 and they hope the community will rally to the cause and help them raise the remaining $12 000 with a goal date of June 2012.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Finance Committee facilitate the process, and make recommendations to Council, for the design of an intelligent service delivery review with a focus on fiscal discipline; and

THAT the intelligent service delivery review be based on broad-based public consultation; and

THAT the following items be considered when establishing the terms of reference for the intelligent service delivery review: legislation; human resources; physical plant resources; community strategic planning; and partnerships and service networks; and

THAT the design parameters for intelligent service delivery review also include, but not to the exclusion of any other design parameters, the following items:

which services are mandatory; which services are managed with partnerships or joint service

agreements which service improvements can be realized through technology, and

improving communication of technological advances;


which services can be managed by 3rd party; which services should we be out of entirely; which services can be delayed or have service levels reduced; what services are affected by other services i.e. a Jenga tower of

services, continue to pull out the services and eventually the entire tower tumbles down;

short term service reductions vs long-term needs i.e. can we reduce services to seniors knowing that the numbers will increase dramatically and become more of a draw on services for future Councils;

the relationship of services to strategic plan; the relationship of services to existing employment contracts; the relationship of services to community consultation -- what does the

public want and expect; the relationship of service cuts or service level adjustments to the tax-

base...if we cut 40% of a service to realize .000001% tax cut, is that a reasonable decision to make;

is the service adjustment design a sound and intelligent business decision; and

MEMORANDUM

To: Mayor Friel and Members of City Council

From: Matt Reniers, Director of Planning

Subject: Report CD2012-040 Greenwich Mohawk Brownfield Site - Structural Condition Assessment, Heritage Impact Assessment, and Designated Substances and Hazardous Materials Suwey

Mayor and Members of Council,

This memorandum responds to comments brought forward by members of Council at the March 5,2012 meeting of the Committee of the Whole, Community Services regarding the Greenwich Mohawk Brownfield site.

1. Resolution Amendment

The resolution part "C" of the report CD2012-040 should be amended as follows:

"THAT after consultation with the Brownfield Community Advisory Committee and the Heritage Committee, Staff return to Council with recommendations on what buildings to include in the demolition tender of the structures at the Greenwich Mohawk brownfield site."

2. Brownfield Accounts

Councillors requested information on the funds currently available in the City's brownfield accounts. The Greenwich-Mohawk Site capital account PL0705 currently has a balance of $5,512,764. This amounts includes the $5 million grant that was received from the Provincial government. It also includes grants of $495,168 received pursuant to the $12 million grant agreement with Industry Canada. The balance of that grant will be received as the City moves forward with the environmental remediation of the Greenwich-Mohawk site.

The Brownfield Sites Reserve Fund RF288 currently has a balance of $1,396,445.

It should be noted that the combined funding available, including the forthcoming grant from Industry Canada, will not be sufficient to cover the anticipated costs associated with the environmental remediation of the Greenwich-Mohawk site and the Sydenham-Pearl brownfield site

I trust that this adequately provides the information that was requested.

Yours truly,

MEMORANDUM

DATE: March 20.2012

TO: Mayor Friel and Members of City Council

FROM: Matt Reniers, Director of Planning

SUBJECT: Downtown Brantford Streetscape Design Plan (CD2012-032)

At its meeting on March 5, 2012 the Committee of the Whole - Community Services asked staff to provide members of Council with the number of downtown parking spaces to be lost as a result of the Downtown Streetscape Design Plan.

In response to this inquiry staff provides the following information:

Currently there are 475 on-street parking spaces in Downtown The Streetscape Design Plan recommends most improvements be created in curb extensions. These curb extensions occur near the corner intersections where parking is not permitted due to traffic movement and sight lines. Therefore, we would expect there to be no reduction in the amount of existing parking spaces in these locations. On Market Street it is recommended that between Dalhousie and Darling the concept design proposes the opportunity to create a specialty streetscape that would have the capability to be closed to traftic for special events. The Plan proposes that the six (6) parking spaces be removed to allow for the pedestrian Sidewalks to be widened to accommodate issues related to accessibility and pedestrian amenity such as accommodating street tree planting, seating, etc. Access to the Bank of Montreal's parking lot would be unaffected by these changes. The consultants also note that the stores on the west side of the street seem to have full access to an unfinished laneway behind their buildings that could be easily improved to accommodate service deliveries. Staff is also investigating the potential for additional parking spaces to be created on Market Street immediately north of Darling Street. Harmony Square frontage - this is an optional opportunity to create more pedestrian space in front of Harmony Square which is experiencing great success (and overcrowding) with some of its events. Therefore, on Colborne Street there are approximately three (3) parking spaces proposed for removal on the north side along the frontage to Harmony Square. In compensation the Plan is recommending new parking spaces be creating directly opposite this on the south side of the street. On Dalhousie Street approximately four (4) spaces are proposed for removal along the Harmony Square frontage. Therefore, total spaces removed are seven (7).

Phone: (519) 759-4150 fax: (519) 752-6977 www.brantFord.ca

Staff notes that in the past few years new on-street spaces have been added to the inventory as follows: -Ten (10) new spaces created on Nelson Street -Six (6) 2 hour time limit spaces on Dalhousie between Market and Queen Streets -The BIA notes other additional spaces created were on Dalhousie at the RAC building, GK York's parking lot on Charlotte Street between Colborne and Dalhousie, the parking lot beside the Sanderson Centre and the spaces created at 220 Colborne Street.

In conclusion there is potential through reallocation and creation of new parking spaces that there appears to be a deficit of less than six (6) parking spaces in the downtown area. A more detailed analysis of the overall study area would have to be done in order to determine that exact number of spaces that are proposed to be added and deleted. However, it appears that the overall impact is minimal.

In conclusion, I would like to remind City Council that Implementation of the Plan is flexible. The BIA will have a role in pre-consultation and mediation with property owners at the time of implementation. The City will work with property owners to finalize each of the project recommendations equitably without sacrificing the Plan's primary design principle of accessibility.

Re: Supplementary Information Regarding the New Forest in the City of Brantford Project

When the resolution regarding the New Forest in the City of Brantford Project was considered by the Committee of the Whole - Community Services at its meeting held on March 5, 2012, staff was asked to review the tree planting accounts to determine if there were funds available that could be used to accelerate the completion of this project to under five years.

Staff has reviewed the tree planting accounts and has determined that $2,000 is available that could be provided to the Brant Tree Coalition to assist this group in their tree planting project in the natural area of the Braneida Industrial Area located south of Highway No. 403 and west of Garden Avenue.

If City Council wishes to contribute $2,000 to this project, staff recommends that the following clause be added to Item 13 of the Committee of the Whole - Community Services Report #2012-03-05 being considered by City Council at its meeting scheduled for March 26, 2012:

c) Provide funding in the amount of $2,000 from the Parks Tree Planting Reserve Fund (RF366) to the Brant Tree Coalition for its New Forest in the City of Brantford Project.

City Council at its meeting held February 21, 2012 DEFERRED the following resolution for one meeting cycle pending advice, in the form of a report, from the City’s Legal Department:




DATE: March 26, 2012 REPORT NO. CS2012-042 TO: Mayor Friel and Members of Council FROM: Catherine Brubacher City Treasurer, Director of Finance

1.0 TYPE OF REPORT CONSENT ITEM [ ] ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION [ X ] 2.0 TOPIC Second and Final Debenture Issue–Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Project

3.0 RECOMMENDATION

A. THAT Report No. CS2012-042 BE RECEIVED, and

B. THAT By-law Number 28-2012 to authorize the issuing of debentures on April 2, 2012 in the amount of $10,000,000 at a rate of 3.71% amortized over 20 years in respect of the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project BE PRESENTED to Council for adoption on March 26, 2012.

4.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to authorize the issuance of debentures to the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (OILC) for $10,000,000 to finance the capital costs for the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project.

5.0 BACKGROUND

On October 27, 2008, Council passed By-law Number 146-2008 to approve the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project and to make provision for the financing of the work. Section 2(a) of that By-law authorized the issuance of debentures or prescribed financial instruments to a maximum of $33,000,000, with the choice, timing and amount to be determined by the Treasurer.

Report No. CS2012-042 Date: March 26, 2012 Page 2

In Report No. 2010-056, the Treasurer outlined the limited financing options for Finance Committee consideration. On June 28, 2010, Council passed By-law 82-2010 to authorize the submission of an application to Infrastructure Ontario for financing up to $33,000,000 related to the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project. Section 2 of that By-law authorized the Mayor and Treasurer to negotiate and execute a financing agreement related to that application. Based on the terms of that Financing Agreement, the City passed By-law 88-2010 and issued a debenture in the amount of $23,000,000 on September 1, 2010 to cover the significant expenditures incurred up to that date. Now that the project is substantially complete and in the final commissioning stages, the Treasurer has determined that the remaining $10,000,000 debenture be issued to ensure that the additional costs that have been incurred on the project are financed through debt repayments from water rates within the User Rate Supported Budget rather than being carried through tax rates.

6.0 STRATEGIC PLAN CONTEXT

The issuance of debt for the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project complies with the Debt Management Policies of section 10.14 of the City’s Strategic Financial Plan and with Council’s debt level guideline established in accordance with those policies.

7.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES

Any municipal debt issue requires independent legal advice and opinions. The City Solicitor has authorized the Treasurer to utilize the services of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG) for this debt issue. BLG has been reviewing the OILC documents, preparing all by-laws and related documents for the City’s signature and providing advice and direction to staff throughout the entire process.

8.0 ANALYSIS Normal practice requires reports to go through Committee before proceeding to Council. As outlined in Information Report No CS2012-034, presented to Finance Committee on March 21, 2012, there are timing issues that require this report to go directly to Council on March 26, 2012. In order for BLG to prepare the final debenture by-law to be submitted for Council consideration, we need the final interest rate confirmation from OILC. In accordance with OILC guidelines, that rate is only provided to municipalities five business days prior to the Council meeting at which the By-law is to be passed. Consequently, since the Finance Committee and Council meeting dates are so close, this final debenture report and the by-law are both on the same agenda.

Report No. CS2012-042 Date: March 26, 2012 Page 3

On March 19, 2012, OILC confirmed the interest rate at 3.71%. That information was provided to BLG and they have now updated all of the final execution documents (i.e. By-law, Treasurer’s Certificates, Clerk’s Certificates etc.). Once the By-law is approved, signed and sealed, all of those documents will be submitted to OILC through our legal counsel. On the morning of April 2, 2012, BLG will provide the final letter of opinion to OILC and the deal will close. The funds will be transferred electronically into the City’s bank account.

9.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The cost of servicing the $10,000,000 debenture is $712,651.12 per year for 20

years and will be repaid through the water rates in the User Rate Supported Budget.

10.0 CONCLUSION
