PROJECT 210-Museum Storage Facility ID# P01288 PSOFT # 0 STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Infrastructure Renewal TYPE: Growth THEME: Facility Expansion WARD: City Wide Museums exist to preserve, document, and research the material evidence of our world, and make it accessible to the public through programs of interpretation, education, and exhibition. The artifacts in the museum's collection are a tangible representation of the community's heritage, and to retain their informational value they must be properly cared for and documented. Staff recommend a collection storage facility to adequately address current storage issues and plan for the anticipated growth of the collection. The City's museum collection was established when 8,000 objects were accepted from the former Seagram Museum. Since this time, the collection has grown and is now double in size. The oversized objects, including the refurbished 1919 Pierce Arrow truck, are stored in a rental space that is unsuitable to block risks from agents of deterioration and make it difficult to access them for exhibitions. Space at the Museum facility to safely store smaller objects and archival documents is reaching capacity. A more comprehensive approach needs to be taken to manage the museum's collection assets that are held in the public trust. By doing so, the Museum's operations will be improved greatly, especially in the area of exhibition development. Information gathered from the Museum Strategy (COMM2015-25), directed there be growth towards a more diversified collection, and recommended that a proper and dedicated storage facility be developed. The collection is growing annually which is limiting the opportunity to expand the collection's scope to better reflect the growing diversity of our residents. SERVICE DELIVERY DIVISION: COMM-Comm.

PROJECT 211-Accessibility Facility Upgrades (AODA) ID# P01289 PSOFT # 170118 STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Equity, Inclusion and a Sense of Belonging TYPE: Rehabilitation THEME: Facility Refurbishment WARD: City Wide The purpose and goal of the Accessibility of Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities and to provide for their full involvement in the identification, prevention and removal of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. The capital budget for accessibility upgrades allows for the removal of barriers in existing facilities and spaces at the time of retrofits. Projects vary from year to year and are identified annually through the facility accessibility audit, customer inquiries and requests and advice from the municipalities Accessibility Advisory Committee. Priority is given to initiatives identified in widely used public facilities and spaces. Projects can include but are not limited to washrooms, entrances, emergency exits, signage, communication equipment, ramps, automatic door openers. This work is ongoing and a municipal requirement so the capital project budget covers the span of the capital budget time frame. While Facilities Design and Management Services is the primary implementation division from time to time projects are identified and led through the Recreation Services division.

Development of a dedicated website for the City of Waterloo Museum was identified as a project that would require additional funds. With the recent refresh of the city’s website, the capacity to effectively and efficiently communicate and promote the museum’s collection and programs has ended. As a result, the city’s website is unable to support the museum’s needs in terms of offering expanded digital content experience. Many museums have a dedicated stand-alone website to provide information that is more detailed. This initiative complies with IMTS and communications frameworks.

PROJECT 226-Park Infrastructure Replacement and Rehabilitation Needs ID# P01574 PSOFT # 0 STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Infrastructure Renewal TYPE: Rehabilitation THEME: Infrastructure Management WARD: City Wide Based on CORP2019-075 Long Term Financial Plan Update, the average annual funding gap for Tax Base assets is estimated to be approx. $17M. Council previously directed staff via CORP2018-011 to consider increased infrastructure funding opportunities as part of the 2020-2022 budget. For 2020, an 8% increase in infrastructure funding (allocated to CIRRF) is being recommended with 0.3% funded from a tax increase above inflation and 0.5% funded through a portion of Waterloo North Hydro Dividend revenue being allocated to CIRRF. For 2021 a .9% increase and 2022 a 1.5% increase in infrastructure funding (allocated to CIRRF) is being recommended funded from a tax increase above inflation. The increased infrastructure funding is being allocated to the major Asset Classes based on a weighted percentage need. The Park Infrastructure Replacement and Rehabilitation Needs project will be used to fund Parks Asset priorities that couldn’t be accommodated within the currently available funding including but not limited to Facility Refurbishment, Park Rehabilitation / Upgrade and Equipment Replacement.

Further, community recreation and leisure is an evolving area of municipal service that can be significantly affected by trends, including population growth, demographic changes, fluctuating market conditions, and as a result of other community strategies and initiatives such as the impact of LRT and downtown intensification, etc. To keep pace with this changing environment, it is recommended that the department conduct recreation needs and trend studies to identify and respond to any changing shifts in community need. The Trends Study research encompasses improved demographic data, community polling and consultation and provides significantly improved information about the City, the residents and what is evolving across the region and the country. The information gained is used to supplement and help inform the direction of the RLS Master Plan, various other master plans, facility plans and facility strategies. It is also recommended that the trends analysis and master plan be reviewed and updated approximately every five years.
