Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-09
Subject: Transit Shuttle Services for the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario
Provincial Summer Games
Contact: Suzanne Connor
General Manager, Transit 905.874.2750 ext 62304 [email protected]
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Suzanne Connor, General Manager, Transit, dated May 9,
2017, to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017, re: Transit Shuttle Services for the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games,
be received; and
2. That Brampton Transit be authorized to provide shuttle services for the 2017
Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games at the reduced internal City rate of $115 per hour, for approximately 206 service hours, at a total cost of
approximately $23,700, and that the organizers shall be invoiced accordingly subject to their acceptance of these terms.
Overview:
The Peel Region Police are hosting the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games from July 13-16, 2017 at multiple locations
throughout the Region of Peel.
A grant application for the event to be held July 13-16, 2017 has been
approved through the 2017 Community Grant Program (CW048-2017). In-kind services of up to $52,000 may be provided by the City of Brampton in support of the event.
The organizers have requested Brampton Transit to provide shuttle services for the event, to be included as part of the in-kind services,
totaling approximately 206 service hours at a cost value of $36,066 based on the Council-approved charter rate.
As per the City’s Community Grant Policy (Corporate Policy 14.1.1)
transportation costs are considered to be ineligible for in-kind services.
6.2.1-1
Staff recommend that the shuttle services be provided at a reduced rate of
$115 per hour (versus the standard charter rate of $175 plus HST) at a total cost of $23,700 (including HST). The rate of $115 per hour would cover core
costs for these services. There was a similar internal arrangement made within City departments for the provision of shuttle services during the Canada 55+ Games (held in Brampton from August 16-19, 2016).
Background:
The Region of Peel is scheduled to host the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games, with Peel Regional Police acting as official games host. The games themselves will be carried out at 5 separate venues throughout Peel Region this July 13,
2017 to July 16, 2017. The 2017 games are a qualifier for the 2018 National Summer Special Olympics which will be held in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. In 2018 Special
Olympics will celebrate 50 years in Canada. In support of this important community event, Peel Regional Police applied for and
received approval for a Community Grant in the amount of $52,000 of in-kind services to be provided by the City as part of the 2017 Community Grant Program (CW048-2017).
This program is managed corporately by Economic Development & Culture. At the Committee of Council Meeting held on April 19 th 2017, Jennifer Evans, Peel
Police Chief, and Deborah Pendlebury, Acting Staff Sergeant, Peel Regional Police, provided a presentation on the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Summer Provincial
Games taking place throughout the Region from July 13-16, 2017. Specifically, various ways the City of Brampton can support these games were outlined.
The following motion was considered and subsequently approved by Council:
CW142-2017 That the delegation from Jennifer Evans, Peel Police Chief, and Deborah Pendlebury, Acting Staff Sergeant, Peel Regional Police, to the Committee of Council Meeting of April 19, 2017, re: 2017 Special
Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games – July 13-16, 2017 be referred to staff for a report back to Committee on assistance to be
provided by the City. Current Situation:
Peel Regional Police have identified (to date) the in-kind services to be provided by the
City in support of this event. Refer to Table 1 below:
Description In-Kind Support Services Amount
Recreation Centers (various) $6,225.34
Signage (various) $1,900.00 Committed In-Kind Support $8,125.34
6.2.1-2
Uncommitted In-Kind Funding Remaining $43,874.66
Table 1
Brampton Transit was contacted by Peel Regional Police to request shuttle bus services be provided for the four days of the games, and that these shuttle services be provided at no cost as part of the in-kind services provided by the City. The shuttle bus service
would transport participants to and from one of three athlete villages to their athletic venue(s) and the opening and closing ceremonies.
Historically transit services have not been provided on an in-kind (zero cost) basis.
Peel Regional Police have identified various pick-up locations to be serviced by Brampton Transit shuttle services during the event including games and social event
venues. Corporate Implications:
As outlined in the City’s Community Grant Policy (14.1.1), transportation services are
deemed to be ineligible for in-kind support. Refer to Appendix A attached to this report for the existing rates and fees charged by Transit.
In support of this community event, staff are recommending that the shuttle services be provided at the reduced internal City rate of $115 per hour (inclusive of HST) versus the
Council-approved charter rate of $175 per hour (plus HST). There was a similar (internal) arrangement made for the provision of shuttle services during the Canada 55+ Games (held in Brampton from August 16-19, 2016).
Financial Implications:
Refer to Table 2 below which summarizes the daily shuttle requirements. Brampton Transit Shuttle Bus – 2017 Shuttle Summary of Service (Estimated)
Table 2
Transit services listed above total approximately 206 service hours and would be charged at the reduced internal City rate of $115 per hour (inclusive of HST). The rate of $115 per hour would cover core costs required to provide the shuttle services
6.2.1-3
including: operating, maintenance, and supervision costs. Based on the reduced internal City rate, the $23,700 cost to provide the shuttle services would be invoiced to the organizers upon their acceptance. Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities, “Strong Communities” and “Move and Connect” by providing the necessary means for citizens to enjoy social interaction and
sport while supporting diversity and enabling wellness through health and recreation.
Conclusion:
Brampton Transit has received a request from Peel Regional Police to provide
approximately 206 hours of in-kind shuttle bus services for the 2017 Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Summer Games.
Brampton Transit has the capacity to provide the shuttle services requested. Although the organizers have requested these services to be provided as part of the approved
grant for in-kind services ($52,000) staff are recommending that, based on previous similar arrangements made with Canada 55+ Games, the shuttle services be provided at
the reduced internal City rate of $115 per hour. With the reduced rate applied (including HST) the total cost of $23,700 would be invoiced to the organizers, subject to their acceptance of these terms.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-09
File: AR-16-500
Subject: Proposed Fire Station 217, Goreway Drive, Ward 10
Contact: Vicki Wong, Senior Manager, Realty Services 905.874.2131
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Mark Norsworthy, Senior Real Estate Coordinator, Realty Services, dated May 5, 2017, to the Committee of Council meeting of May 31, 2017, entitled “Information Report - Proposed Fire Station 217, Goreway Drive, Ward 10” be received and a new City-owned site be considered for
Proposed Fire Station 217.
Overview:
At the Community & Public Services Committee on November 2, 2016 staff
reported on potential property acquisition matters related to future Fire Station 217.
Staff have identified City property located immediately north of 10521
Goreway Drive on the east side of Goreway Drive as an ideal site. The site
was dedicated to the City from a Plan of Subdivision.
Staff investigated the possibility for a co-locate of both a designated senior
citizen’s residence on-site, or a room within Fire Station 217. The co-locations are not recommended on the basis of risk/safety, cost and
location, and general incompatibility related to emergency operations concerns.
Background:
Brampton Fire and Emergency Services (“Fire”) require a site for a new Fire Hall 217 in
the vicinity of, and south of the intersection of Goreway Drive and Countryside Drive. As such, at the Community & Public Services Committee meeting on January 20, 2016, staff reported on potential property acquisition matters related to future Fire Station 217.
As it typically requires about three years to acquire private lands, design and construct a Fire Station, the report sought authority to begin negotiations with the owners of
potential sites as soon as possible, if needed.
6.2.2-1
Upon further investigation, it was determined that City of Brampton lands in the vicinity of the noted intersection are ideal for use by Fire. The specific property is located
immediately north of 10521 Goreway Drive, on the east side of Goreway Drive with an area of 3.38 acres (the “Property”). This site is commonly referred to as the ‘Goreway barn site’, since a large shed exists on the Property. This shed would likely be
demolished. The Property is composed of three separate PINs and the zoning varies from Agriculture to Residential and about half of the area is affected by “Fill Regulation
Lines”. Current Situation:
The Property is considered ideal for a location of future Fire Station 217. The site is flat with a useful shape and is large enough to accommodate the proposed use. The location has been carefully considered by Fire for acceptable response times to the area
that must be served by this Fire Station.
In November 2016, and subsequent conversations, staff was requested to consider the inclusion of a senior citizen’s residence and/or room on the same site. As such, staff investigated the potential accommodation and the following factors were considered.
Risk: Fire vehicles responding to emergencies in close proximity to senior citizen traffic may pose a risk of collisions as fire stations are built with the intention of avoiding large
vehicle and public pedestrian interaction. There is a potential negative impact or response interruptions with respect to possible delayed response times.
Cost: Special measures to accommodate inside (the room) and outside partitions (e.g. parking) of the facility would also result in additional cost, as Fire intends to use an
existing Fire Station architectural plan at this location to expedite delivery and reduce overall costs. Changes from the existing architectural plan would involve special
measures needed to separate the traffic flows of the two uses of the facility. Location: Planning commented that the site is not large enough to accommodate a
modern Fire Station and a senior citizen’s usage on the basis of separation of uses and the partitions in the parking that would facilitate uninterrupted emergency use of the
Property. In consideration of these items, staff do not recommend the co-location of a designated
senior’s use of any portion of the Property.
As Fire requires about 1.4 acres of developable land for the Fire Station, the Property is considered suitable for their needs subject to completion of due diligence studies.
In addition, the northerly neighbour at 10459 Goreway Drive previously indicated a desire to purchase a portion of the Property for incorporation into their residential
property. A recommendation to declare surplus a portion of the Property may be explored in the future after the Fire Station has been constructed, and the amount of excess land and compatible use is determined.
6.2.2-2
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications to this report.
Other Implications:
Fire and Emergency Services recommend the development of the Property for Fire
Station 217. Demolition of an existing large shed is a possible consequence of the development of the subject site for Fire Station 217.
Strategic Plan:
The information in this report supports the Corporate Strategic Plan priority of Good Government, specifically the goal to “Practice proactive, effective and responsible
management of municipal assets”, in this case, using City property assets rather than purchasing private lands for a public purpose.
Conclusion:
This report is an update on activities to date, with reference to a previous Council endorsement of the Fire’s “Fire Station Location and Apparatus Deployment Study for
Brampton Fire and Emergency Services” report and presentation, and authority to negotiate acquisition of private lands for the Fire Station 217.
Brampton Fire and Emergency Services has identified a future need for additional fire response capability in the vicinity of Goreway Drive and Countryside Drive. Staff have
identified that this need may be accommodated with a new Fire Station 217 located immediately north of 10521 Goreway Drive. Fire will continue due diligence and if the
site remains as viable, design the works and construct the Fire Station on the Property. Approved by: Approved by:

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-08
Subject: Building Customer Service through Employee Engagement
Contact: Fiona Peacefull
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Fiona Peacefull, Director, Human Resources, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, dated May 10, 2017, to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017, re: Building Customer Service through Employee Engagement, be received; and
2. That Committee of Council support staff efforts to create, implement, and sustain a fulsome people plan for the City of Brampton, referred to as People Advantage,
along with complementary work to modernize Human Resources programs and services.
Overview:
Investing in people is a critical component to our Future Ready mindset of thinking bigger, to position Brampton as a global leader.
The research and data is clear: engaged employees allow businesses to outperform and leapfrog competitors, demonstrate resilience in times of
transformation and progress, and deliver a better customer experience.
In parallel, Human Resources will modernize and drive innovation within our programs, services, and policies/procedures.
The time is now for the City of Brampton to build, implement, and sustain a results-based, measured people plan – “People Advantage.” This is a
foundational element to modernize the corporation, helping our success in delivering the Strategic Plan game changers.
7.2.1-1
Background:
On March 29, 2017, Council unanimously endorsed the pivot to the City of Brampton
Strategic Plan, which identified six game-changing initiatives to help position Brampton as a global leader. Foundational to this strategy is investing in our people through a
leading edge people plan, which we are calling “People Advantage.” Engaged employees are the precursor to delivering exceptional customer service and results for our community.
Current Situation:
People Advantage directly connects to our Future Ready mindset and efforts to build a high-performing culture. This approach builds upon working as a team, while placing
high value on leadership and talent. People Advantage will help us continue to move to a strong, positive culture that fosters innovation and accountability into everyday working
life. We need to lead the way and leapfrog the competition – both to attract and retain top talent, and deliver results for our community.
Recent national and international studies demonstrate the most competitive public and private sector organizations are those that have invested in comprehensive people
plans. To be a high-performing organization, Brampton needs to be better than average. A 2015 global survey placed the engagement scores of the best companies in the world
at an average of 82% (Mercer). In Canada, best-in-class employers are realizing an engagement score of 80% (AON Hewitt). Gallup, a leader in employee engagement
strategy, states that companies with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share, and contribute to a 17% increase in productivity. Best-in-class private sector organizations recognize that investing in people makes good
business sense.
Average engagement for Ontario municipalities is within the range of 60-65%. The City of Brampton is looking to raise the bar on municipal engagement, recognizing that Brampton residents are comparing city services not just to other municipalities, but also
to high-performing private sector organizations in our community.
Industry data shows that raising engagement scores can result in a 10-12% increase in customer satisfaction and a 5-7% increase in financial performance. This target will move us from average to on-par with the top quartile of organizations worldwide
(Mercer). To this end, the City of Brampton has set a stretch target of reaching an 80% engagement score by 2021.
Being a high-performing best-in-class organization has three key components:
living our vision and values by integrating them into the way we do business and how we work with each other
7.2.1-2
having the right skills to work together the best way we can in a way that is dedicated to our business, our customers and each other
having clear organizational priorities
People Advantage will support our employees to build the skills needed now and in the
future. This will align to customer service, organizational strategy, and performance results within our game changers and strategic foundations.
Development/Implementation Plan
People Advantage will be developed using three main inputs: learning from industry leaders; leveraging Brampton assets; and listening to the voice of the employee. These
inputs will be complemented by comprehensive data collection, metrics and analysis, and measurable plans. Industry
Leaders Research and identify best practices in leading
high-performing organizational cultures and investigate opportunities for implementation. Ensure
alignment with measurable results and actions. We have industry leaders within our community, namely Amazon, Canon and Rogers.

employees for our organization and community.

in regard to the 80% engagement goal.
2021
Upon completion of the above effort, phases, the data and research will be analyzed and formulated into a fulsome multi-year strategy. People Advantage will be
complemented by engaging, timely, and meaningful employee communications and outreach plans.
People Advantage Framework
Employee engagement is critical to our productivity. We are committed to ensuring every employee comes to work each day understanding their role in the larger
organization, and that each of us play a role in fostering an environment to be Future Ready. Employee engagement data is a cornerstone of the People Advantage framework, comprised of the following four elements: Building Our Team; Investing in
Employees; Developing Leadership Excellence; and Fostering a Healthy Workplace.
Metrics/Key Performance Indicators In parallel with the development/implementation plan, the Human Resources team is
developing comprehensive work plans to build upon the voice of our employees, and align with metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). Our efforts and priorities within
People Advantage need to be intentional and measurable. We are fully invested in providing updates to Council on the outcomes and effects of People Advantage – a more comprehensive update will follow in Q4 2017.
Human Resources Modernization
In parallel to our efforts to build People Advantage, it is critical Human Resources dedicate significant effort to transform the way we do business. Through a more
innovative, transformative lens, we will review all processes, systems, and policies in place that will leverage our ability to have a sharper focus on customer needs, the City’s
priorities, and actively contribute to, and enable, a Future Ready mindset.
7.2.1-4
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
Through the 2017 budget process, Council endorsed the allocation of budget dollars to the Human Resources division for the provision of a people plan. This investment will be
used to create, implement, and sustain People Advantage and modernize human resources services. Strategic Plan:
Underpinning the Strategic Plan’s game changers is the theme of good government, which reinforces the City’s transformational shift in operations. Customer service and employee engagement represent core elements of this foundation.
Conclusion:
The City of Brampton has experienced substantive organizational change, and is now building a culture of engagement, with a view to be a global leader. This effort is
foundational to delivering results within our Strategic Plan, moving the City as a best-in-class organization that is better positioned to deliver results and high quality services for
residents and businesses in Brampton.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-11
Subject: Modernizing Corporate Services Policies and Procedures -
Strategic Way Forward
Contact: Joseph Pittari, Commissioner, Corporate Services, 905-874-5922
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Joseph Pittari, Commissioner, Corporate Services, dated May 11,
2017 to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017, re: Modernizing Corporate
Services Policies and Procedures – Strategic Way Forward be received.
Overview:
To further enable and facilitate the City’s transformation initiated in September 2016, staff have assessed the functional and operational components of the City’s various businesses.
The Commissioner of Corporate Services completed a preliminary assessment of “people, processes, policies, procedures and technology” delivered by the
Corporate Services department. Further, the Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) facilitated two workshops to identify opportunities for enhancement to best
enable and empower Brampton to be Future Ready.
Thirty (30) items were identified and grouped into four themes including: Delegation of Authority, Purchasing, Financial Planning and Policies, and
Innovative Systems.
Modernization of the Delegation of Authority By-law has been made a strategic
priority of senior management so that staff are empowered and accountable to provide effective and balanced direction.
Improving procurement is a critical component of the City’s efforts to become “Future Ready”. The changes being implemented reflect best practices and optimize efficiencies. Efforts will continue with streamlining and automating our
processes while balancing risk and ensuring compliance with the Purchasing By-law, legislation and contract law. Modernizing procurement will improve access
to the vendor community and encourage competition and maximize value for
7.2.2-1
money.
Further, by having a clear direction and focus for long-term financial planning will strengthen our position as a corporation.
The corporation of the City of Brampton is focused on having the right people, with the right tools, processes and technology in the right places.
Background:
Under the leadership of the CAO, supported by Council and senior leadership, the City undertook a transformation in September 2016. The changes implemented were done
with the following considerations: making the organization more agile and responsive; improving client services internally and externally; embracing strategy and innovation; and, driving accountability.
Following the structural changes implemented in September 2016, there was a need to
assess the functional and operational components of the City’s various businesses to achieve the desired objectives of the transformation. To obtain the input related to functions and processes to enable the required changes, the Commissioner of
Corporate Services completed a preliminary assessment of “people, processes, policies, procedures and technology” delivered by the corporate services department. Further,
the Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) facilitated two workshops to identify opportunities for enhancement to best enable and empower Brampton to be Future Ready to support the implementation of its strategic plan. These engagements identi fied a series of key
findings and requisite actions, which have been synthesized and presented in the following report as an update for Council and staff.
Current Situation:
Based on feedback obtained by the Commissioner of Corporate Services as well as the
extensive feedback from CLT, approximately 30 corporate policies and procedures (under the responsibility of the Commissioner of Corporate Service) were identified
requiring attention. The corporate policies and procedures issues fall within two areas: policy (requiring review and approval by Council) and procedures (requiring review and approval of any changes by CAO and CLT). Further, while 30 items were identified,
many of the issues have been grouped into four themes including:
1. Delegation of Authority
2. Purchasing 3. Financial Planning and Policies 4. Innovative Systems
In an attempt to streamline and enable our workforce, the following is a synopsis of the
actions and changes being implemented and considered.
7.2.2-2
Delegation of Authority By-law Legal Services, in consultation with the City Clerk and Commissioners, has undertaken a review and modernization of the By-law. This project involves stakeholder
consultations currently underway with appointed resources from the Commissioner’s lines of business; legal review of relevant legislation for consistency and applicable
amendments; and benchmarking with other GTA municipalities for best practices to ensure the City has a leading edge document.
In addition to revising existing delegations under Schedules A and B of the By-law to provide clear authority for decision making and flexibility for Council to add or remove
delegations, new delegations will be added to address existing gaps. Further, the front-end of the By-law will be revised to address sub-delegations and vacancies. It will also address delegations to staff during summer and election recess.
The By-law was consolidated in 2011 without a comprehensive stakeholder review
process. Since that time, amendments to legislation, including the Municipal Act have been made and staff have identified areas for improvement that would advance commercial efficacies for the City.
A final report to Council is anticipated in September 2017 with the proposed
amendments to the By-law for consideration. Purchasing
Progress Over Process - Work has commenced to achieve procurement efficiencies across the Corporation by streamlining and automating internal processes; re-
engineering workflows; reducing duplication; empowering staff and removing redundant approvals. Efforts aimed at disentangling administrative red tape and duplication in the legal and procurement functions have commenced and will be resolved through
employing a more balanced approach to mitigate risk. Clarifying roles in procurement documentation and specification development through training for staff involved in
procurement functions across the Corporation is underway. Implementing these process, automation and risk mitigation practices will result in the estimated reduction of procurement cycle times by 20-30% when fully automated.
eProcurement - Updating technology to modernize procurement (“eProcurement”) is
underway with a focus on three streams; implementing a more user friendly bidding process for vendors; automating internal processes to optimize efficiencies and leveraging data analytics to achieve value for money. This month the launch of a fully
integrated eProcurement platform will allow vendors to view, download and submit bids entirely online. This will improve customer service to the vendor community; reduce
internal costs and expedite procurement cycle times and minimize the number of noncompliant bids and reduce the risk of exposure to litigation. Work has commenced for automation and workflow of procurement documentation development to improve
cycle times. Automation provides better information and the ability to utilize business
7.2.2-3
intelligence to support decision making in procurement expenditures and drive value for money.
Purchasing Card - A Purchasing Card program that is well-designed and managed with the appropriate controls to mitigate risk can achieve significant efficiencies for municipal
business. The Purchasing Card is a low cost, efficient tool to procure and pay for low value goods and services. The Purchasing Card agreement provides for an annual rebate to the City based on card usage. Benchmarking by the National Association of
Purchasing Card Professionals reports typical savings resulting from P-Card usage are about $63 per transaction versus a traditional Purchase Order. Therefore, the
opportunity exists to expand the program to increase usage and achieve these financial incentives. As such the program is being reviewed and updated to ensure the appropriate training and education is provided along with the right balance of financial
and commodity controls.
Purchasing By-law - The recent amendment to the By-law in Q1 of 2017 ensured accountability and responsibility in the management of the procurement function as well as centralizing reporting. Staff committed to conduct a more comprehensive review to
ensure alignment with forthcoming legislation, address recommendations from the Provincial Ombudsman’s report and efforts to streamline and automate processes. A
project charter and staff advisory committee has been established to conduct the review this year and report back to Council in January 2018.
Staff training - Providing training and business enablement for staff is a key component to improving procurement across the City. Work has commenced to providing enhanced
support, training and education for staff involved in the various procurement functions across the corporation including departmental roles in specification development and staff delegated to purchase lower value goods and services.
Vendor Management - As stewards of public funds establishing a Corporate Vendor
Management program is foundational to ensure vendor performance and demonstrating value for money. Work has commenced to develop a strategy to update current policies and processes for capital works and construction; and enhance support for departmental
staff responsible for Contract Administration and vendor performance.
Service Delivery - A review the Purchasing Division has been conducted to optimize business and operational functions and enhance service delivery by shifting the focus of staff from transactional activities to higher value-added activities, strategic procurement
planning and advisory services; employing progressive procurement processes to achieve departmental outcomes; utilizing business intelligence and data analytics to
achieve value for money as well as establishing best practices. The improvements implemented include using flexible, innovative and expedited
procurement methods such as online evaluations; expanding the use of pre-qualifications, co-operative procurements; provincial Vendor of Records and Standing
7.2.2-4
Offer Agreements and establishing rosters of for consulting and specialized services. Following up with the improvements to the regular Purchasing Activity reporting to Council introduced earlier this year; internal Purchasing Approval and Contract
Extension reports have been revised to reduce duplicate and redundant information. These improvements are designed to expedite the approval process and prepare for
automation and workflow planned this year. In order to provide this enhanced Service Delivery, the Purchasing Division has been
realigned under two streams; the Deputy Purchasing Agent will manage the procurement supply chain stream and the Manager, Procurement Performance will
oversee reporting, training, technology and the Purchasing Card and Vendor Management programs.
Financial Planning and Policies Long-Term Financial Master Plan - A significant tool for the City and focusing our
financial planning activities, is the creation and adoption of a Long-Term Financial Master Plan (LTFMP). Significant efforts have been made in completing this Master Plan including a recent council workshop to gather feedback on the key findings and
proposed directions. Under the leadership of the City Treasurer, the Master Plan has been revised based on stakeholder feedback and the final document and staff
recommendations will be presented to Council for endorsement in June 2017. Many of the proposed recommendations will direct the efforts of the financial planning and analytics of the Finance Division, as well as provide direction to future policy framework
considerations.
Delegation for sign-off – To further empower staff, increase accountability, and streamline processes by reducing signoffs/approvals, authority will be delegated to Division leads (i.e. cost centres) for operational/procedural functions. This will be
coordinated with Human Resources and updated in the budget policy to align with the delegated authority/financial spending authority and put accountability for budgetary
spending in its proper place (with Department/Division management). Innovative Systems
Transformation can be synthesized as “having the right people, with the right tools, skills and technology in the right places”. Innovative systems will provide our staff with the
right tools and technology. We have a People Systems Steering Committee comprised of the CIO, Director of HR, City Treasurer, select senior managers and managers from the IT Division. This committee is supported by an advisory committee of staff
representing divisions from across the corporation.
These groups meet on a regular basis to identify and implement key innovative systems including:
Talent and Learning Management System (TLMS)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Time and Attendance Management,
7.2.2-5
Point of Sale (POS) These people systems will innovate and improve efficiency by automating and
streamlining how we manage and collect information. It will also improve the customer experience by enhancing point of sale transactions for recreation, transit and finance.
Corporate Implications:
There are no corporate implications associated with this report.
Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications related to this report. Any of the noted systems have approved funding sources. The improvements to people, processes and technology will increase staff efficiencies resulting in time that could be allocated to other initiatives (i.e.
“doing more with the same”). Strategic Plan:
The report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by supporting strong foundations and good government. Specifically, the recommendations in this report respond directly to
two of the three objectives related to good government:
Investing in a collaborative environment with supportive organizational and
governance practices and policies; and
Practice proactive, effective and responsible management of municipal assets
and services. Conclusion:
Following the structural changes implemented in September 2016, there was a need to assess the functional and operational components of the City’s various businesses to
achieve the desired objectives of the transformation. Thirty items were identified and grouped into the following four themes:
1. Delegation of Authority
2. Purchasing 3. Financial Planning and Policies
4. Innovative Systems
Modernization of the Delegation of Authority By-law has been made a strategic priority
of senior management so that staff are empowered and accountable to provide effective and balanced direction. Improving procurement is a critical component of the City’s
efforts to become “Future Ready”. The changes being implemented reflect best practices and optimize efficiencies. Efforts will continue with streamlining and automating our processes while balancing risk and ensuring compliance with the
Purchasing By-law, legislation and contract law. Modernizing procurement will improve access to the vendor community and encourage competition and maximize value for money. Further, by having a clear direction and focus for long-term financial planning
7.2.2-6
will strengthen our position as a corporation. The corporation of the City of Brampton is focussed on having the right people, with the right tools, processes and technology in the right places.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-17
Date: April 17, 2017
Subject: 2017 Final Tax Levy Report
Contact: David Sutton, Treasurer
905-874-2577 [email protected]
Recommendations:
1. That the report from David Sutton, Treasurer, Corporate Services, dated, April
17, 2017 to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017 re: 2017 Final Tax Levy and By-law be received; and;
2. That a By-law be passed for the levy and collection of 2017 Final Realty
Taxes.
Overview:
An annual By-law is required for the Final Levy and Collection of Realty
Taxes. This report details the background for 2017 tax year.
Background:
To provide for the levy and collection of annual realty taxes, a By-law is required each year. The rates set out in the attached schedules for the City and Region are based on
2017 budget requirements while the Education rates are set by the Province through an Ontario Regulation. Taxes are based on the current value assessments (CVA) as provided by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). In 2016, MPAC
undertook a re-assessment updating CVA to reflect the market as of a January 1, 2016 valuation date. Assessment increases from the previous base year of 2012 are to be
phased in equally over the four taxation years 2017 to 2020. Any decreases in assessment are reflected immediately and will apply for all four years.
7.2.3-1
Current Situation:
The attached Schedule “A” itemizes the total amount to be levied in each tax class for
City, Region and Education purposes based on the tax rates as listed.
The tax rates indicated in the schedule will generate the total 2017 levy of $1,063,950,062 from all the various property classes, allocated as follows:
City $436,599,526 41.04%
Region $351,635,466 33.05%
Education $275,715,070 25.91%
a) 2017 Property Taxes
The overall levy for 2017 will be distributed as follows:
1. Residential (includes pipeline, farm, managed forest)
City $332,394,163
Region $267,709,062
Education $122,576,122
2. Commercial / Industrial / Multi-Residential (“capped” property classes)
Property Class City Region Education
Commercial $71,129,105 $57,286,953 $116,140,792
Industrial $20,195,942 $16,265,707 $34,248,887
Multi-Residential $12,880,316 $10,373,744 $2,749,269
TOTAL $104,205,363 $83,926,404 $153,138,948
b) Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness (PMC)
In April 2013, Council amended the 2013 budget to include an additional tax levy of
$9,833,333 per year, commencing in 2013 and ending in 2018, to support the new Peel
7.2.3-2
Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. These funds are to be held in Reserve #126 - Pledge to Peel Memorial Hospital until payments are due in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Brampton and William
Osler Health Services. On an average home assessed at $443,000, approximately $49 on the city portion of the tax bill will be allocated to this reserve for 2017 taxation. The
specific amount for each property tax account will be displayed on each individual tax bill at 2017 Final Tax billing.
c) Downtown Brampton Business Improvement Area
The Tax Levy By-law has been prepared to include a special charge for the Downtown Brampton Business Improvement Area, pursuant to Section 208(2) of the Municipal Act,
2001, to be levied against the business classes of property in the improvement area defined in By-law 276-88. The total 2017 requirement is $392,943 which is a 2%
increase from the 2016 levy of $385,239. The 2017 tax rate will be 0.255309%. d) New Construction Tax Rates
Ontario Regulation 315/08 was filed on September 11, 2008 creating the “New Construction” classes to facilitate announced Business Education Tax (BET) rate reductions. For 2017 taxation, the province has reduced the target maximum rate to
1.14% from the 2016 target level of 1.18%. Where a municipality’s BET rate is already below 1.14%, the lower education tax rate would continue for existing and newly
constructed properties. The BET rate in Brampton for the commercial property class in the 2017 taxation year is
1.042947%, which is below the maximum BET rate. Newly constructed commercial properties would continue to be taxed at a BET rate of 1.042947%. However, in the
industrial property class, the City’s 2017 BET rate (1.231495%) is above the maximum rate. Therefore, newly constructed industrial properties deemed eligible will benefit from the lower BET rate of 1.14%.
In order to qualify for the New Construction BET rate, the following criteria must be met:
Application for the first building permit must be received by the municipality after March 22, 2007
Construction must be for either a commercial or industrial property
For additions or renovations to existing properties, the new construction must
increase the current value assessment (CVA) of the property by a minimum of 50%
The New Construction BET rate takes effect once construction is completed, eligibility requirements are met and the new construction commences to be used. Where the
7.2.3-3
municipality’s BET rate for the class is below 1.14%, the lower BET rate is to be used for New Construction properties in that class.
The new classes mirror the existing definitions for the commercial and industrial property classes but only apply to new construction. The New Construction property classes are:
New Construction Commercial New Construction Shopping Centre
New Construction Office Building New Construction Industrial
New Construction Large Industrial The attached Schedule A includes any New Construction tax classifications assessed
on the 2016 for 2017 assessment roll. The attached Schedule “B” details the tax rates for all New Construction classes that may be subject to supplementary or omitted
assessments in the future. e) New Multi-Residential Tax Rate
On April 20, 2017, the province released Ontario’s Fair Housing Plan. The plan implements a mandatory New Multi-Residential property class province-wide to ensure that municipalities tax new multi-residential buildings at a similar rate as other residential
properties. The new class will apply to any multi-residential development receiving a building permit on or after April 20, 2017. The intent is to support and encourage the
development of new, purpose-built rental housing as a step to improve housing affordability in the rental market. The City of Brampton currently has zero assessment in this property class for 2017 taxation. The regulation for the new rate has yet to be
released and may require an amending by-law to establish the tax ratio which is currently set at 1.1.
f) Tax Bill Production and Mailing
2017 Final tax bills will again be produced in the standardized format as required by the Province of Ontario. For residential and other non-capped classes, tax bills will be mailed by mid-June with due dates of July 19th, August 23rd, and September 20th 2017.
The tax bills for the Commercial, Industrial, and Multi-Residential (capped classes) will be mailed by mid-July with due dates of August 23rd, September 20th and October 18th 2017. Preauthorized tax accounts (PTP) will have the additional option of payment dates
on the 1st or the 15th, or the next business day in the event of a weekend or a statutory holiday, for a maximum of the six (6) months of July through December.
7.2.3-4
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
The approval of this report and By-law is essential to support the budget requirements of the City, Region of Peel, and the Province for education. An information brochure will accompany the bills with information concerning the 2017 City Budget and the various
payment options. In addition, the City will place an advertisement in the local media advising residents of the instalment due dates for the 2017 final billing.
Other Implications:
N/A
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan Priority of Good Government by contributing to
the Strategic Initiative of Continued Financial Stability and it promotes transparency in the reporting of the City’s financial affairs.
Conclusion:
This tax levy By-law supports the 2017 budget requirements as previously set by
Council. The levy amounts for the Region of Peel and the Education portion are as directed by Regional By-law 21-2017, Ontario Regulation and Section 257.12(5) of the Education Act. The education rates have been provided by the Assistant Deputy
Minister at the Ministry of Education and the corresponding regulation is imminent. The accompanying tax rates described in Schedule “A” and Schedule “B” will be utilized for
all tax bill calculations and tax adjustments pertaining to the 2017 tax year.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-02-02
Subject: Status of Tax Collections Accounts
Contact: David Sutton, Treasurer
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Martin Finnegan, Senior Manager, Revenue, dated April 28, 2017 to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017 re: Status of Tax
Collection Accounts be received.
Overview:
The Tax Billing and Collection Policy (number 13.10.0) includes a requirement to report annually to Council outlining the status of the City’s
overdue tax accounts.
This report provides information on the collection activities and status of
property tax accounts that are in arrears.
Background:
The Tax Billing and Collection Policy (number 13.10.0) includes a requirement to report annually to Council outlining the status of the City’s overdue tax accounts.
The Property Tax Billing and Collection Policy provides the framework for the administration of the City’s property taxes receivable including the processes to be followed when accounts fall into arrears.
Overdue notices are produced two times per year (May and October) for accounts in arrears and are mailed to the taxpayer. Overdue notices provide the taxpayer with the
status of their property tax account showing the amount of taxes in arrears plus penalties, interest and items added to the tax roll.
Once an account is two years in default, in October of each year collection letters are sent advising the owner of potential Tax Sale proceedings if the account remains in
7.2.4-1
arrears as of January 1st of the following year. The letter will request payment in full and offer the property owner the opportunity to make specific payment arrangements to clear the account.
All tax accounts three years or more in arrears will be subject to collection proceedings,
which could lead to a tax sale to settle the arrears as provided for by the Municipal Act, 2001. A title search will be conducted to confirm the current ownership and identify any parties with a registered interest in the property. The City must provide information on
outstanding tax arrears to all registered mortgagees shown on the property records of the Land Registry Office. Such notice is often successful in securing payment before
initiation of the Tax Sale process.
After the third year of default the City may employ the services of a third party to assist
with collection. Since 2006, the City has utilized the service of a bailiff for the collection of tax arrears for both residential and non-residential properties.
If the bailiff is unsuccessful in collecting the tax arrears, and the account is still three years or more in arrears then a “Tax Arrears Certificate” is registered on title for a period
of one (1) year. After the “Tax Arrears Certificate” is registered only full payment of taxes, penalties, interest, and other costs can be accepted by the City.
After the “Tax Arrears Certificate” and the 1-year registration period have expired the property is liable for Tax Sale.
Current Situation:
On December 31, 2016 the City of Brampton administered 164,844 property tax
accounts with an annual combined billing for City, Regional, and Education taxes of approximately $1.04 billion. The total amount of taxes billed but not yet collected (Taxes
Receivable) as of year-end 2016 was $46,566,687or 4.48% of the 2016 billings. Table 1 - Taxes Receivable Comparison 2014-2016, shows comparative percentages
of total taxes receivable as of December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 and 2014. These figures include tax amounts billed in the current year, but with a due date that could also
be in the following year (future dues). The figures in Table 1 show that Brampton’s annual billing for 2016 increased by
approximately $49 million or just under 5% compared to 2015 ($1,039,418,868 versus $990,514,071). In the same period the total taxes receivable has decreased by almost
$3.6 million or -7.14% ($46,566,687 versus $50,149,541).
7.2.4-2
A sample of the collection activities performed by Collection staff during 2016 is summarized in Table 2 - 2016 Tax Collection Activities, with comparisons to activities
performed in 2015 and 2014.

2017 – 2018 Changes to Tax Collections Processes
In 2017 and 2018 Corporate Collections will implement a new Tax Collection Module which will impact current procedures and statistical reports. The new tax collection module automates many collections processes and contains improved tools and
enhanced reports that allow for better monitoring and tracking of collection activities and provide a more comprehensive status of the tax arrears accounts.

Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications associated with the information provided in this

7.2.4-3
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priority of Good Government by practicing proactive, effective and responsible management of finances, policies and service
delivery and promotes transparency in the reporting of the City’s financial affairs.
Conclusion:
Collection staff has actively worked with taxpayers to facilitate suitable payment arrangements for tax accounts in arrears and have carried out all collection activities in accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Tax Billing and Collection Policy. In
accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 and City of Brampton Tax Billing and Collection policy, specific collection activities have been performed on accounts three years in
arrears subject either to registration of a Tax Arrears Certificate or bailiff’s action. The collection actions utilizing internal staff, registration of a Tax Arrears Certificate and
the service of a bailiff were successful in the recovery of property taxes, although in 2016 the City had to resort to the ultimate remedy of a tax sale to recover tax arrears on
two properties. The tax sales were successfully conducted on November 1st 2016.

Date: 2017-05-02
Subject: 2016 Year End Operating Budget and Reserve Report
Contact: David Sutton, Treasurer
905-874-2257 [email protected]
Recommendations:
1. That the report from David Sutton, Treasurer, Corporate Services Department, dated
May 2, 2017, to the Committee of Council meeting of May 31, 2017 re: “2016 Year End Operating Budget and Reserve Report” be received.
Overview:
Operating Budget
The 2016 Operating Budget year-end surplus is $0.6 million. This
represents a variance of 0.1% of total budgeted expenditures of $647.1 million.
Departmental operations resulted in a surplus of $6.1 million.
General Government accounts resulted in a deficit of $5.5 million.
Reserves / Reserve Funds
The year-end status of the City’s primary Reserves and Reserve Funds,
including rate stabilization reserves and development charge reserve funds, is also presented.
Background:
The City’s Budget Control policy requires the Corporate Services department to report to the Corporate Leadership Team and to Council on Operating Budget status updates
at regular intervals during the year. In addition, this report provides an update on the status of Reserves and Reserve Funds.
7.2.5-1
Current Situation:
The 2016 Operating Budget year-end net surplus, before transfers to Reserves is $0.6
million. This variance represents 0.1% of total budgeted expenditures of $647.1 million.
Departmental operations contributed $6.1 million to the favourable surplus, due to savings in outside services, transit fuel and materials. Partially offsetting these savings
were unfavourable variances in planning revenues, transit revenues and transit vehicle maintenance.
General Government accounts resulted in a $5.5 million deficit. $5.0 million of the deficit is due to utilizing the surplus from departmental operations to substitute tax
supported debt financing in capital projects (Council Resolution # CS127-2016). Other variances contributing to the deficit consist of subdivision administrative fees
and forgoing the budgeted draw from the General Rate Stabilization Reserve. These negative variances are offset by better than anticipated supplemental taxes, investment income and general recoveries.
In recognition of the City’s policy on surplus management, a contribution to the
General Rate Stabilization Reserve has been made in the amount of $0.6 million to balance 2016 revenues and expenditures.
The 2016 Financial Statements have been audited by the City’s External Auditor, KPMGLLP, and will be reported at the June 6, 2017 Audit Committee meeting. A
reconciliation between cash based operating results (consistent with budget preparation and the annual tax levy), and PSAB adjusted financial reporting will be provided to the Audit Committee in the report on the 2016 Audited Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the 2016 Operating Budget year-end results, which
includes a departmental breakdown of the surplus, along with highlighted specific
variances that are deemed material significant to the Corporation:

The variance experienced for year-end 2016 have been incorporated into the 2017 approved budget, to ensure that budgets accurately reflect ongoing requirements to
deliver existing services. For example, the 2017 budget includes adjustments for transit vehicle maintenance, transit revenues, fuel costs and planning revenues.
The 2016 operating budget included a one-time payment of $40 million to the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. There is no net variance
associated with this transaction in the 2016 budget, as the funding was collected and transferred via the Hospital Levy, which was initiated in 2013.
7.2.5-4
Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Credit Rating Standard & Poor’s (S&P) affirmed the City of Brampton’s Triple A rating in October
2016. Along with the credit rating, S&P has issued a ‘Stable’ outlook for the City of Brampton. Triple ‘A” is the highest credit rating a municipality can receive and
according to Standard & Poor’s (S&P), the rating reflects the City’s solid economic fundamentals.
Excluding the United States of America, globally only 18 municipalities have a S&P Triple ‘A’ rating and Brampton is one of only six Canadian municipalities to have this
rating. Standard & Poor’s is a worldwide leader in the provision of credit ratings and financial market intelligence. RESERVES AND RESERVE FUNDS (Schedule A)
The Financial Flexibility Indicator is reported on an annual basis to enable Council and the Public to more readily evaluate the status and health of the City’s discretionary
reserve funds. Discretionary reserve funds could be used by the City to fund day-to-day operations, in the event of an unanticipated economic downturn or similar fiscal
event. The Financial Flexibility Indicator declined in 2016, from 26 weeks of funding to 23.
This decline is primarily due to the one-time contribution of $40 million to the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. This contribution resulted in a
one-time increase to the expenditure budget of $40 million. For example, the City’s 2017 expenditure budget of $631.5 million is less than the 2016 expenditure budget of $647.1 million, due to the removal of this one-time expenditure. Excluding this
contribution from the calculation results in 25 weeks of funding, which is in line with historical levels.

Staff will continue to monitor the Financial Flexibility Indicator and provide status updates annually. Furthermore, as part of the Long Term Financial Master Plan, staff will provide recommendations to Council on sustainable reserve balance targets.
Further information on the City’s primary Reserve and Reserve Funds are provided below:
7.2.5-5
Development Charge Reserve Funds Development Charge (DC) Reserve Funds have been in a deficit position for over a
decade. Beginning in 2015, the City began taking steps to eliminate this deficit with the adoption of several strategies and actions, such as capital contract budgeting and the
ongoing capital project status review. As of December 31, 2016, the overall Development Charge Reserve Funds are in a surplus position of $79.2 million for the first time in more than a decade.
Building Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund As of December 31st, the balance in this reserve fund was $38.3 million. The success
in building revenues versus operational costs have been considerable over the last 5 years, which has resulted in this reserve fund increasing from $5.4 million in 2009
during the last significant economic downturn to the current balance of $38.3 million. The Building Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund year-end balance provides considerable assurance against a future short term downturn in building activity.
The City is obligated to transfer any surplus resulting from building related operations to this reserve fund in accordance with the requirements of Bill 124 (Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2002).
Cash In Lieu of Parkland
As of December 31st, there was a balance in this reserve fund of $91.7 million, which is a significant improvement over prior years. With sizeable land acquisition costs
required as the City approaches greenfield build out, a recommended strategy will be considered as part of the long term financial plan review.
General Rate Stabilization Reserve
The General Rate Stabilization Reserve was initially established as a Tax Rate
Stabilization (TRS) Reserve Fund in 1991. The purpose of the TRS was to smooth fluctuations in tax rates by receiving unbudgeted annual surpluses and contributing to the Current Fund to prevent unbudgeted deficits. In 2002, a contribution of $27.9 million
was directed to this fund as part of the financial strategy for the Hydro Sale Proceeds. In 2004, the TRS was renamed the General Rate Stabilization Reserve (GRS). This
reserve continues to act as the primary contingency fund to ensure that the municipality has the ability to meet its legislative requirement for a balanced operating budget at year end. The fund can be drawn upon when unforeseen or non-recurring events occur,
essentially protecting taxpayers from any major volatility in tax rates from year to year. This reserve has served its purpose well as evidenced during the 2008 global economic
recession. As of December 31st, the balance in this reserve was $76.3 million. The General Rate
Stabilization (GRS) Reserve balance target has been set by Council at 10% of
7.2.5-6
budgeted gross annual operating and capital expenditures, which for 2016 equates to $77.5 million. The GRS balance target is being reviewed as part of the Long Term Financial Master Plan. Staff will report to Council any potential modifications to the
current target, resulting from the review.
Interest Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund
As of December 31st, the uncommitted balance in this Reserve Fund was $11.0 million. The balance continues to be drawn upon to fund annual operating shortfalls
on budgeted Hydro investment income and staff recommends that the balance continue to be protected for use in mitigating any shortfalls in investment income expected in future years.
Legacy, Community Investment, and Community Development Reserve Funds The Legacy, Community Investment and Community Dividend Reserve Funds were
established in 2002 with contributions from the sale of Brampton Hydro. The Council approved objectives of these funds are as follows:
Fund Objective Original
Amount Current Amount
Legacy Principal to be preserved and invested; investment income available for use

As at December 31st, the Legacy Fund had a balance of $100 million and has
generated $77.8 million in interest revenue since the inception of the fund. Of this, $62.7 million has been transferred to the Current Fund during that time, which has offset tax levy requirements and the balance has been transferred to
the Interest Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund.
The Community Investment Fund has outstanding internal loans of $74.5 million committed against this fund for initiatives such as the Rose Theatre, Provincial Offences Act Courthouse and Public Works Yards. Annual interest on the fund
has also been built into the base budget to offset tax levy needs. The remaining uncommitted balance plus annual principal repayments will be available for
internal financing of capital projects in 2017 and beyond. The balance available for future initiatives was $25.5 million, as at December 31, 2016.
7.2.5-7
The Community Dividend Fund has been fully drawn down for projects of citywide benefit and was closed out in 2009. Funding was committed towards initiatives such as the Rose Theatre, Downtown Revitalization and Sheridan
College.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the draft Strategic Plan priority of Good Government by practicing proactive effective management of finances, policies and service delivery. Conclusion:

7.2.6-1
Overview:
The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with the annual update on the financial status of the City’s Capital Program as of December 31,
2016.
The City’s capital program at December 31, 2016 included 492 (2015: 496)
active capital projects with a total approved budget of $1.6 billion.
$1.2 billion of the approved budget has been spent as of December 31, 2016.
The remaining capital budget is $374.9 million as of December 31, 2016 (2015: $532.2 million). Of this amount, $195.9 million has been committed
through purchase requisitions (procurement in progress) and purchase orders (contracted works underway) for specific projects, leaving $179.0
million uncommitted (where efforts are being made in the form of research, specification development, documentation, etc. to progress these projects).
Staff continues to actively manage, review and monitor all active capital projects with a commitment to on-time and on-budget capital project
delivery and returning funds no longer required to their original funding sources. Funding of $63.4 million was returned and made available for future allocation to other priorities.
Finance staff recommends that the budget of four capital projects be
amended in order to reconcile overall funding for the projects and accommodate additional scope of work.
Background:
The Capital Project Financial Status Report provides a financial update of the City’s
Capital Program that includes analysis compiled from submissions made by the departments managing their various capital programs. This report keeps Council informed on the use of financial resources and supports senior leaders with project
oversight and delivery.
Although there are a number of methods of measuring progress in Capital Program delivery, the level of spending on projects compared to the approved budget is used as a performance indicator that is common to all projects. The financial analysis and
information reported helps to generate discussion at the senior management level responsible for project delivery and to draw attention to project areas that might require
7.2.6-2
course correction. It is not meant to replace the detailed status reports that project managers and project teams produce and use for their own day-to-day project management and reporting.
Current Situation:
As of December 31, 2016, the City had 492 active projects with a total budget of $1.6
billion. The City has spent $1.2 billion toward completion of these projects, with $374.9 million (2015: $532.2 million) of available budget to be spent in the coming years. Of
this amount, $195.9 million has been committed through purchase requisitions (procurement in progress) and purchase orders (contracted work underway) for various capital projects. This leaves $179.0 million remaining in open capital projects
uncommitted where efforts are being made by staff to progress these initiatives.
The available budget before commitments as of December 31, 2015 was $532.2 million and the decrease of $157.3 million (29.6%) from the end of 2015 to year to date 2016 is an indication that the continuous capital program review and increased emphasis on
capital delivery is progressing the capital program in a positive direction.
Schedule A provides a summary, by department, of capital spending and the budget remaining, which includes all committed and remaining budgets. Schedule D provides a detailed list of all open projects with the same of information.
This report includes analysis of the following topics:

Budget Remaining (Appendix A)
The total capital project budget remaining before commitments, through purchase requisitions and purchase orders, often referred to as unspent budget or money yet to be spent, as of December 31, 2016, is $374.9 million. This amount is $157.3 million
lower than the amount reported as of December 31, 2015 of $532.2 million.

In addition to the $150.0 million committed through purchase orders and $45.9 million purchase requisitions orders respectively, there is also approximately $19 million of work
that will be completed by Developers on infrastructure projects, such as road construction, through Developers’ Agreements. The Developer delivered projects are in various stages of completion and as such Developers have not yet been paid for this
work. The delivery of Developer constructed projects is not managed by the City and as
7.2.6-4
a result is not captured as a commitment by the City for financial reporting purpose. This means the budget remaining to be invested in capital projects is $160.0 million, after consideration of Developer delivered capital work.
Positive Trend
As a result of staff’s ongoing review of the capital program, focus on capital delivery as well as the implementation of the Capital Contract Budgeting methodology, there has
been a steady decrease in uncommitted capital budget balances.

7.2.6-5
2016 Capital Budget Analysis
Beginning in 2015, the City adopted a new Capital Contract Budgeting methodology. Under this new methodology, new Capital Budgets requests are based on departmental
estimates of the capital project procurements (purchase orders) that can be awarded within the fiscal year.
This new methodology aligns the Capital Budget with the City’s capacity to deliver capital projects and reduces the amount of approved capital projects going forward.
Based on the new Capital Contract Budget methodology, Council approved a Capital Budget of $113.6 million (excluding Library portion) for 2016. The following Table
provides an analysis of 2016 Capital Budget spending to December 31, 2016 and it indicates that $68.1 million of the approved $113.6 million has been either spent or
procured on a year to date basis.

Capital Expenditure Forecast (Appendix C):
The City forecasted through the 2016 budget process that it would achieve $167.8
million in capital spending (cash flow) during the 2016 fiscal year. This includes 2016 spending on projects approved in the 2016 budget and open projects approved in prior
years. Actual spending as of December 31, 2016 on all capital projects was $223.4 million comprised of $35.9 million related to the 2016 Capital Budget and $187.5 million related to projects approved prior to 2016.
7.2.6-6
In addition to significant road construction activity, major contributors to capital spending in 2016 were Sandalwood Works Yard expansion, Gore Meadows Phase 2 and Williams Parkway Phase 2 projects.
Return of Financing and Budget Commitment Reduction
During 2016, $63.4 million of funding was returned to source and/or budget commitment
reduced and made available for future allocation to other priorities. One hundred five (105) projects were determined complete and therefore closed and $26.5 million of the
budget remaining associated with these projects was returned to source. An additional $36.9 million was returned to source for projects that remain active.
It is worth noting that ongoing rigorous capital project review has resulted in $41.1 million being returned to Development Charges Reserve Funds and additional $4.6
million reduction in budget commitment. Staff will continue to review the City’s capital program regularly to determine which
projects should remain open, with the goal of returning financing, that is no longer required for project completion. Budget Amendments and Reallocations (Appendix E):
Budget amendments related to Capital Projects are required in order to reconcile overall
funding for the projects as following:
Capital Project #083610.006 - Project Design - Williams Parkway:
McLaughlin to North Park be increased by $300,000 to support additional scope of work; funded from Reserve #137 – DC Reserves: Roads
Capital Project #093610.003 - Project Design - Castlemore: Airport to Goreway be increased by $80,000 to support additional scope of work;
funded from Reserve #137 – DC Reserves: Roads
Capital Project #143625.001 - Utility Relocation - Castlemore: Goreway to McVean be increased by $50,000 to support additional costs related to gas
relocation; funded from Reserve #137 – DC Reserves: Roads
Capital Project #165560.001 - Fitness Equipment Replacement be
increased by $5,000 to reflect donation received for the purchase of BBQ at the FCCC
7.2.6-7
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
$63.4 million of capital funding has been returned to source and made available for future allocation to other priorities.
Other Implications:
The semi-annual Capital Status report will serve to maintain focus on project delivery
and as a tool to identify available financial resources to be reallocated to other City priorities.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priority of Good Government by practicing proactive, effective and responsible management of finances, policies and service
delivery and promotes transparency in the reporting of the City’s financial affairs. Conclusion:
This report provides Council with a financial status of the City’s capital program and
contributes to improved management oversight of the City’s capital program. As of December 31, 2016, the City had spent $1.2 billion on the 492 open projects with a further $179.0 million remaining uncommitted with effort being made to advance and
deliver the projects; which is a significant improvement from prior periods.
Staff will continue to manage the capital program by implementing appropriate solutions in an effort to advance the delivery of the capital program efficiently.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: April 27, 2017
Subject: 2016 Annual Development Charges Statements
Contact: Maja Kuzmanov, Manager of Accounting
905-874-2259
Recommendations:
THAT the report from Maja Kuzmanov, Manager of Accounting, Corporate Services
dated April 27, 2017 to the Committee of Council meeting on May 31, 2017, re: 2016 Annual Development Charges Statements be received.
OVERVIEW:
Development Charges are collected under authority of the Development Charges Act, 1997 (the “DCA”) for the purpose of funding necessary growth
related services.
Section 43 of the DCA and Section 12 of Ontario Regulation 82/98 requires that
the Treasurer of the municipality provide to Council, annually, a financial statement relating to development charge by-laws and reserve funds
established under section 33 of the DCA.
Schedule A summarizes the DC reserve financial transactions for the year
ended December 31, 2016. Closing balance of the DC Reserve Fund balances as of December 31, 2016 is $91 million, which represents an increase of $129
million (2015: $38 million deficit).
DC statements for 2016 are presented to Council for receipt, and these
statements must be made available to the public. A copy will be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on request.
7.2.7-1
Background:
Development Charges (DC) are collected by the City for the sole purpose of providing
necessary infrastructure to new residents and businesses. All DC funds collected can be used only for this purpose in accordance with the Development Charges Act (DCA).
These funds are collected so that existing property owners are not unduly burdened by the cost of growth-related infrastructure.
The attached DC Statements have been provided to the Committee of Council for
information in accordance with requirements of the DCA. The purpose of the report and associated statements is to ensure that all transactions related to development charges
have been correctly accounted for and reported, as stipulated under the Act. The new DC rates came into effect on August 1th, 2014 with the approval of the City’s
new DC By-law. The new DC By-law retained the existing reserve fund classifications as it accurately reflects how individual program areas have managed the DC revenue
received. These reserve funds represent monies currently collected for and spent on the following program areas: General Government, Library Services, Fire Services, Recreation Services, Transit Services, Public Works, Roads Services, Parking, and the
Bramwest / North and South Transportation Corridor.
The City of Brampton does not impose, directly or indirectly, a charge related to a development or a requirement to construct a service related to development, except as permitted by the DCA or another Act, in compliance with subsection 59.1 (1) of the DCA.
Statement of Development Charge Reserve Funds – 2016
The table below presents a summary of information reported in Schedule A of the report which outlines the 2016 DC reserve fund
balances:
$ Million Beginning Balance as at January 1, 2016 (38.17)
Add: Development Charge Proceeds 99.38
Less: Interest Charges on reserve deficit 0.47 Add: Transfer from Capital Projects 29.02
Balance before Outstanding Section 38 Credits 90.70
Outstanding Section 38 Credits ( 0.03) Closing Balance as at December 31, 2016 90.67
7.2.7-2
Current Situation:
DC Reserve Statements
Schedule A summarizes information for each reserve fund in respect of each service
program for which development charges have been imposed by the City of Brampton. The schedule shows:
The opening balance as of January 1st, 2016;
The distribution of the development charge proceeds received during the year;
The apportionment of accrued interest;
The closing balance as at December 31st, 2016.
The closing DC Reserve Fund balances as of December 31, 2016 is $91 million, which represents an increase of $129 million (2015: $38 million deficit). The increase in fund
balances was due to following factors:
Net transfer from capital fund of $29 million. Transfer from capital fund was due to return of financing resulting from the review of capital projects
Capital Contract Budgeting where capital budgets are only approved for contracts that can be executed within the approval year
Not included in the DC Reserve Fund balances is $45 million in discretionary exemptions/discounts approved by Council, which will not be recoverable from
development charges and will need to be funded through the general tax base. City Council has already approved a plan that will recover $11 million of the above noted
balance from the tax levy. In 2000, City Council approved the Central Area Community Improvement Plan. One of the key components of this plan was the Downtown
Development Incentive Program which since inception has granted $17 million in DC waivers. Of the $17 million, $6 million has been recovered through the general tax base as of December 31, 2016. The remaining $11 million is part of the $45 million noted
above and is scheduled to be repaid from the general tax base by 2034. This leaves $34 million of discretionary DC exemptions/discounts unfunded.
Schedule B details the approved financing transfers for each reserve fund, outlining the
Development Charge financing (DC) and Non-Development Charge Financing (Non-DC)
for each project. This schedule provides additional detail to the “Transfer to Capital Project/Current Fund” column in Schedule A by capital project in each program area.
When capital projects are closed or excess financing has been identified, the financing is returned back to the original Reserve Fund. The figures in brackets indicate returned financing. Schedule C lists the remaining Section 14 credits by Plan and Block Number as at
December 31st, 2016.
7.2.7-3
Schedule D details the status of DC credits accorded or committed to developers for
undertaking works on behalf of the City as at December 31, 2016.
Miscellaneous Definition and Treatment of Reserve Funds and Credits related to old DC by-laws
Outstanding Section 38 Credits
Section 38 of the DCA stipulates that a municipality shall give a person credit toward the DCs payable if it agrees to allow the person to perform work that
relates to a service to which a DC by-law relates. The amount of the credit is the reasonable cost of doing the work as agreed. The current Section 38 credits included in Schedule A are minor in nature and are fully related to parkland
improvements performed in old subdivisions. Since there has been no activity on these subdivisions in many years there has been no opportunity to provide the
credit for work performed in the past. This does not preclude the possibility of the credits being applied in a redevelopment or new development project in those areas in the future.
Section 14 Credits (see Schedule C)
In 1989 The Province enacted the Development Charges Act, 1989 (“Old DCA”) which replaced the lot levy regime with DCs. Municipalities were empowered to impose DCs pursuant to DC by-laws enacted under the Old DCA. The Old DCA
did not exempt from the payment of DCs those lands that were subject to pre-existing lot levy agreements or lands for which lot levies had been paid. Instead,
these prior payments were treated as credits against DCs otherwise payable, pursuant to Section 14 of the Old DCA, by October 31st, 1999.
The Old DCA was replaced by the 1997 DCA and. O. Reg 82/.98 in 1998 which sets out a mechanism for recognizing credits for lot levies paid under old
agreements. The owners and former owners were required to apply for credits by October 31st, 1999. The City is obligated to fund the total credit claims applied for within the prescribed period.
7.2.7-4
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
$34 million of the current DC deficit represents unfunded DC exemptions/discounts to
developers approved by Council. A repayment strategy similar to the Downtown Development Incentive Program would have to be developed in order to achieve a consistent approach regarding voluntary DC discounts.
Other Implications:
There are no other implications resulting from this report.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priority of Good Government by practicing
proactive, effective and responsible management of finances, policies and service delivery and promotes transparency in the reporting of the City’s financial affairs. Conclusion:
In accordance with the Development Charges Act, 1997, this report provides Council
with a statement of the DC reserve funds for the year ending December 31st, 2016. Report Approved by:

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-04
Subject: Request to Begin Procurement - Purchasing By-law Section 4.0
PeopleSoft Annual Support Contract for a Five Year Period with
Renewal Options
Ward:
Contact:
City-wide Prasanna Gunasekera, Senior Manager,
IT Corporate Services, 905-874-5318, [email protected]
Recommendations:
1. THAT the report from Prasanna Gunasekera, Senior Manager, IT Corporate Services titled "Request to Begin Procurement - Purchasing By-law Section 4.0
PeopleSoft Annual Support Contract for a Five Year Period with Renewal Options" dated May 4, 2017 to the Committee of Council meeting of May 31, 2017, be received; and
2. THAT the Purchasing Agent be authorized to commence procurement to replace
the existing PeopleSoft annual support contract.
Overview:
This report is to obtain Council authority to commence procurement to replace the City’s existing annual maintenance and support contract for the Orac le
PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial and Supply Chain Management (FSCM) software applications.
The Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise applications are critical enterprise business
systems that assist in the management of the City's Finance, Purchasing and Human Resource operations including Payroll.
Oracle will cease support for the installed Version 9.1 of PeopleSoft HCM and FSCM software applications at the end of 2017.
Oracle offers a limited extended support option to continue support beyond the
published end of support date. There is at least one other vendor that also offers
7.2.8-1
extended support options.
Information Technology on behalf of Finance, Purchasing and Human Resource Divisions is seeking approval to commence the procurement
process to replace the existing Oracle PeopleSoft annual support contract.
The contract will be funded through existing approved Operating Budget.
Background:
The Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials and Supply Chain Management (FSCM) and Human Capital Management (HCM) systems have been used since 1999 by all
Corporate departments for critical Finance, Purchasing and Human Resource Division administration needs including Payroll.
The software vendor, Oracle, has announced the end of support for PeopleSoft Version 9.1 presently used by the City. Support will end in 2017.
An extended support contract is needed to ensure continued access to break / fix
support, maintenance patches, tax updates and regulatory updates to meet legislative changes and mandatory Payroll requirements.
Current Situation:
In late Q3 2016 it was decided to remain on the current Version 9.1 of Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM and FSCM rather than upgrade to Version 9.2. The
upgrade budget was estimated to be at $1.8 million.
The decision was made in order to align with the new corporate direction of building a future-ready Brampton by investigating in next generation Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) solutions available in the market rather than investing further in the Oracle PeopleSoft ERP.
The funding of $1.8 million that was previously secured to upgrade Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise to the supported Version 9.2 have since been returned in support of a multi-year initiative to acquire alternate ERP solution(s) to replace Oracle PeopleSoft
Enterprise ERP.
Historically, the City has purchased annual support directly from Oracle, the
PeopleSoft vendor. However, there are now other vendors on the market offering
support for Oracle PeopleSoft products. Consequently, it is now in the City’s best
interest to evaluate all available options to obtain support services.
IT Corporate Services in collaboration with Finance, Purchasing and Human
Resources Divisions is ready to begin the procurement process to clarify support
7.2.8-2
service offerings available on the market and obtain competitive bids for the services
required to support the current Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.1 applications and
technical platform.
Scope of Project:
The project involves contracting with an experienced vendor to provide support for the
Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM and FSCM Version 9.1 ERP applications
including support for all customizations and extensions developed by or on behalf of
the City of Brampton.
Ongoing support for the Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise applications will be required
until the City is fully transitioned onto a new ERP platform.
Tentative Project Schedule:
Bid Document Issued June 2017
Contract Start Date September 2017
Corporate Implications:
Purchasing Comments
1. Request for Proposal
A Request for Proposal shall be publicly advertised. Bid Submissions shall be evaluated
in accordance with the published criteria and weighted points within the Bid Document.

Operating Procedure. The performance evaluation will be used to provide feedback to the Contractor; to provide the contractor with the opportunity to implement performance improvements during the duration of the contract; and to justify an award or non-award
of future contracts by the City in accordance with the terms of the Vendor Disqualification Purchasing Protocol.
3. Communication during Procurement
All communications with Bidders involved in the procurement must occur formally, through the contact person identified in the Bid Document. This shall commence when
the bid call is solicited and ends when the Purchase order is issued.
Financial Implications:
The total estimated cost for this five-year initiative from 2018 – 2022 is $3,185,922.90. Sufficient annual funding is available within account 201156.001.0187.0.0001 “Outside
7.2.8-3
Services – Application” as approved by council in the 2017 operating budget submission.
The IT Division will ensure that sufficient funds are secured in the 2018 Budget cycle for
the year 2020 to 2022, subject to council approval. The estimated annual cost is identified as follows:
2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 TOTAL Annual Cost $601,365.06 $619,274.82 $637,184.58 $655,094.34 $673,004.10 $3,185,922.90
*Inclusive of 1.76% non-recoverable HST and this is a high level maximum estimation
Strategic Plan:
The upgrade project aligns with and supports the City’s strategic objectives:
For good government through proactive, effective and responsible management of municipal assets and services
Conclusion:
This report summarizes the scope of the project, identifies available funding, and provides a tentative schedule with procurement methodology to replace the Oracle PeopleSoft annual support contract. It is recommended that Council authorize the
Purchasing Agent to commence procurement, as described in this report.
Staff will continue to provide periodic updates as the project proceeds.

2017-05-31
Date: 2016-05-02
Subject: Economic Development Master Plan (2041) Project Initiation
2017/2018
Contact: Robert Seguin, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, Advisor to
the CAO, 905-874-2041, [email protected] Recommendations:
1. That the report from Harry Schlange, Chief Administrative Officer, dated May 2, 2017, to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017, re: Economic Development Master Plan (2041) - Initiation of Project 2017/18 (CE.x), be
received;
2. That Council receive the Report for information and direct City Staff to initiate the Project as outlined in the Report; and
3. That Council direct City Staff to report back on progress of the project on a quarterly basis to the Committee of Council prior to the submission of the draft
final Economic Development Master Plan (2041) to Council for final approval and implementation in Spring 2018.
Overview:
The desired growth as identified in the Growth Plan and population
projections to 2041 in the City of Brampton must be matched by a similar expansion and sustained prosperity of the business community within the
City. However, there are a range of major economic issues - market, technology, socio-economic conditions - in addition to jurisdictional competitiveness which may impact the City’s desired growth and
prosperity.
The changes in the Economic Development & Culture Division since Sept 2016 have led to major shifts in the City's economic development efforts, goals and measureable results from previous Divisional plans. This is
paired with the revised City Strategic Plan and identification and focus on six "game changer" initiatives.
8.2.1-1
A proposed new Economic Development Master Plan (EDMP) for the City, developed conceptually in 2016, was not pursued given the Divisional
changes and in realization of major new developments in City strategic priorities. This is also seen in significant shifts in business opportunities and challenges, development of improved partnerships, and introduction of
new post-secondary institution in the City with greater opportunities for workforce development, innovation, commercialization, and research
capacity.
A revised EDMP proposal has been developed to better align the City's
economic development strategy with major economic challenges / opportunities facing the business community. The EDMP will build upon
the City's new Strategic initiatives, develop improved partnerships with Brampton business community, post-secondary partners and others, and focus on achievable, measureable results in short and longer term (2041).
The revised EDMP project is to be launched in late Spring 2017. It will
involve a range of City departments, business community representatives, civic engagement and a new major study of significant market, technology, and socio-economic developments affecting developed economies. A
detailed study of a selected group of comparator peer communities to determine best practices and processes for sustained economic growth
and prosperity will also be undertaken. This will be matched by internal economic analyses of Brampton's own performance, focus group and civic engagement with business community and others to develop a long term
(2041) Economic Development Master Plan with a 4-year implementation and specific actions and measureable targets.
Background:
The City of Brampton has experienced considerable economic and demographic growth over the past decades. Past economic development strategies have identified a range of
activities and processes to improve upon the City's economic performance with variable impacts on the business community overall, or on specific firms. An Economic
Development Master Plan that is fully implemented would provide a greater sense of shared focus and shared action by a range of partners on key priorities or remove/limit significant constraints to future growth and prosperity.
The changes in the Economic Development & Culture Division leadership in September 2016 and the subsequent revised economic development strategy signaled shifts in both
economic development activities, processes and desired results. This shift is also reflected in the City's revised Strategic Plan and identification of six "game changer"
8.2.1-2
initiatives which will propel the longer term growth, sustain improvement in quality of life, and the natural environment of the City.
These changes are occurring at a period of continued - at times unprecedented - market, technology, socio-economic changes across all developed economies and on
local businesses and citizens. This period of change is also affected by the development of new post-secondary partnerships and other key institutions in the City of Brampton, affecting business opportunities, and expanded workforce capacity and improvements in
quality of life within the City over the next decades. Current Situation:
A revised EDMP (2041) is now proposed to be initiated in Spring 2017, into Q2 2018.
This Master Plan would strengthen partnerships with the Brampton business community, other institutions, and Brampton citizens, along with internal and external analyses.
A Steering Committee to provide oversight of the EDMP (2041) will be formed consisting of both internal and external representatives. The Committee’s terms of reference will
include review/commentary of the outreach processes, civic engagement, engaging a major international consulting firm, and review/critique of the Final Draft of the Economic
Development Master Plan (2041) prior to formal presentation to Council in Spring 2018. It is proposed that a major consulting firm lead a new economic analysis to examine:
the key market, technology and socio-economic developments which will affect
businesses and municipalities across North America, and developed nations;
identify the impacts, challenges, opportunities which may result from these major
"disruptive" economic forces;
examine a small set of peer comparator municipalities in North America and Europe to learn and understand a range of existing/proposed best practices to
achieve sustained economic growth and prosperity, and tools/tactics to obtain these results, and identify the partnerships needed among business, institutions,
municipal governments, and citizens to achieve the desired results;
focused outreach to the Brampton business community, its partners, as well new civic engagement on economic development with the wider community as well as
within City departments;
examine the above analyses, and outreach/focus group results in the context of
several selected themes to focus priorities for practical and effective results. These themes could include: Competitiveness, Workforce/Talent (with a focus on
youth and newcomer unemployment), Investment, Innovation/Commercialization, and Employment Lands; and,
to develop a series of implementable actions involving public and private sector
participants, with clear, practical results for short term implementation within an initial 4-year period to successfully pursue the longer term Economic
Development Master Plan consistent with City's Planning Vision and new
8.2.1-3
Strategic Plan. This will also identify initiatives to further develop a strengthened capacity of the Brampton business community and its partners.
A full communications plan for implementation will be developed in tandem with the proposed Master Plan. It is proposed that the Final Draft of the EDMP (2041) with
explicit implementation recommendations or actions to lead to the desired results will be presented to City Council late Q2 of 2018 (please refer to Appendix A). Based upon the involvement of the Brampton business community and its partners, these actions will
involve both public and private sector activity to achieve measureable results. An annual review of the document and a full refresh every 4 years will be proposed. It is anticipated
that the approval of the EDMP (2041) will be the base for annual plans by the Economic Development & Culture Division, as well as for key economic actions led by the Planning and Development Department.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
There is sufficient funding of $100,000 per annum in the 2017 and 2018 base budgets
as approved by Council. This budget resides in the administration cost center within Economic Development & Culture. The Funding will be used to initiate the project,
undertake the proposed major consulting study and used for public outreach. It is anticipated that the total expenditure will not exceed $100,000 per year, effective in 2017 ending in 2018.
Other Implications:
Communications: Following Council acceptance of the Project initiation, communication of a launch plan
for the Economic Development Master Plan will be completed.
A communication plan will be developed in coordination with Strategic Communications and the CAO's Office for the outreach activities and updates as well as for the formal implementation of the EDMP (2041) if approved by Council.
Staffing Impact:
The project initiation will involve several members of City staff on a Steering Committee as well as Economic Development & Culture staff providing internal economic analyses
for the first steps of the proposed EDMP. The Advisor to the CAO, Economic Development will lead the Steering Committee and report to the CAO and Director,
Economic Development & Culture. The Senior Manager, Economic Development will be Vice Chair of the Steering Committee.
8.2.1-4
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities of University, Health Partnerships and Urban Centres by cultivating sustained economic growth and prosperity, innovation,
talent and investment. Conclusion:
An EDMP is a critical component to drive forward many of the strategic priorities. In
order to best seize the opportunities presented by the economic climate, it is recommended that Council direct staff to proceed.

Overview:
On April 19, 2017, the Economic Development and Culture Committee received a
delegation by Suzy Godefroy, Executive Director from the Downtown Brampton BIA regarding a request for $37,905.00 of in-kind support for their summer
events.
The request included support for; Classic Cars Celebrations ($25,000.00), Thursday Night Concert Series ($7,905.00) and space for select downtown Brampton BIA members to participate in the Downtown Brampton Farmer’s
Market ($5,000.00).
The Community Grant Program policy 14.1.1 specifically lists the Downtown Brampton BIA as an exemption to the application process and therefore requires a staff report, with recommendations, be prepared by the department responsible
for the related program or service.
Staff considered the Downtown Brampton BIA’s request for the in-kind support. Staff’s review and calculation of the in-kind total includes additional equipment,
property rentals and staff resources required to support the 2017 Classic Car Celebration event ($32,540.00), Thursday Night Concert Series ($7,905.00) and eleven vendor spaces at the Downtown Brampton Farmers’ Market for the Main
Street businesses impacted by the street closure ($5,093.00).

Staff will continue to consider additional requests from the Downtown Brampton
BIA for the Downtown Brampton Farmers’ Market on a first-come, first-serve basis, at regular market rates for areas on Main Street, Ken Whillans Square,
and Garden Square.
Background:
The Classic Cars Celebration event (Formerly Classic Cars & Legendary Stars) was
started in 1999 by the Brampton Downtown Business Association (BDBA). In 2014 the event attracted over 30,000 people to Brampton Downtown. The event was not held in 2015 due to the transition period of the BDDC to the Downtown Brampton BIA.
8.2.2-2
In 2016 the event returned to downtown Brampton attracting large crowds who enjoyed the additional elements added to the event, such as the launch of the Thursday Night Concert in Gage Park that continues throughout the summer months.
Since 2014, Council has contributed in-kind support in order for the BDBA to support
Classic Cars Celebration, and since 2016 the Downtown Brampton BIA has contributed to both the Classic Cars Celebration and the Thursday Night Concert Series.
The City of Brampton has historically supported the participation of downtown businesses in the Downtown Brampton Farmers Market by providing spaces to those
who were interested in participating.
2016 in-kind support provided to the Downtown Brampton BIA:

LETTER TO MINISTER DUGUID ON BEHALF OF THE
TORONTO REGION HUMAN HEALTH AND SCIENCES
(HHS) CLUSTER
Dear Minister Duguid,
The Toronto region’s Human Health and Sciences (HHS) cluster is home to an incredible concen-tration of people, ideas and investment. On behalf of the HHS cluster and its leaders from the worlds of research, finance, industry, medicine and technology, TO Health! is proud to share with you a Cluster Plan designed to leverage these assets into a long-term, sustainable strategic advantage for the Province of Ontario. This is the first Cluster Plan written and submitted under the Partnership for Jobs and Growth Act passed in 2014. The stakeholders within the cluster have organically aligned and collaborated to design this planning document and we are united in our resolve to move ahead together.
The HHS cluster is invigorated to witness three levels of government united in their focus on building upon regional strengths, investing to improve global competitiveness and fostering eco-nomic development to create the successful enterprises that ultimately lead to more, better-pay-ing jobs. The Federal Growth Council has recommended and inspired the creation of a new economic development office focused on promotion of Canada internationally, in order to better engage and attract global investors and partners. Provincially, Ontario has just created the new Office of the Chief Health Innovation Strategist, a bold move which highlights the province’s fore-sight and intent to improve care and outcomes for Ontarians while driving economic growth for the province through healthcare investment.
Meanwhile, the momentum of the Toronto region’s HHS cluster is being accelerated by recent investments from large multinational private organizations like Bayer and Versant Ventures (to create BlueRock Therapeutics, a stem cell company), Johnson & Johnson (to create the first JLABS outside the US), Celgene (to invest in Blueline Biosciences and multiple other growing biotech companies) and General Electric (to invest in the Toronto region’s Regenerative Medicine development and manufacturing sector).
With government and industry increasingly coordinating and collaborating, the time is ripe for a Cluster Action Plan that captures months of thinking and planning by a wide range of leaders
8.2.3-6

across the cluster. To prepare the Plan, TOHealth! organized and convened working groups, collected and summarized the insights and ideas of dozens of groups and individuals, and then organized and convened roundtables that brought together more than 60 sector leaders to re-fine and enhance our common understanding of the key opportunities facing the sector and to begin prioritizing a core set of recommendations that are laid out in the pages to come.
We want to thank you for your support and are looking forward to your response to the Plan to better understanding how the initiatives and tactics laid out in this document can complement and reinforce the leadership already being shown by the Government of Ontario to support the Toronto region’s HHS cluster. We’re proud to share this plan on behalf of the cluster and look forward to working with you and your ministry to create and foster a clear advantage for Ontario.
Sincerely,
Ella Korets-SmithExecutive Director, TO Health!

Executive Summary
The Toronto region Human Health and Sciences (HHS) cluster is one of Canada’s most high impact and high potential economic superclusters. The HHS cluster includes all of the institutions and organizations that touch the development and delivery of healthcare, from medical technology and biopharmaceuticals, to health-focused venture capital funds, to hospitals and university R&D centres. The HHS ecosystem is defined by a convergence of key stakeholders from academia, industry and government, what some theorists have called the ‘triple helix’1 required to create and expand a successful cluster.
The HHS cluster has the largest concentration of health sciences employment and companies in Canada, as well as a century-long track record of outstanding research innovations. We have undeniable momentum and believe we can grow the economy of the region and improve patient outcomes.
Toronto region’s HHS cluster is central to the Life Sciences ecosystem in Ontario. The Life Sciences sector contributes $3.9 billion to the GDP of the province, with exports of $8.6 billion.2 With nearly 50% of Ontario’s population and a representative percentage of the $5.9 billion healthcare spend, Toronto region is the largest healthcare market in
Figure 1: Toronto region Human Health and Sciences Cluster Map
8.2.3-8

Our cluster’s strength stems from our deep expertise in three therapeutic areas: Oncology, Neurological Diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes. These areas of strength allow us to start identifying and leveraging opportuni-ties to increase our competitiveness through research, development and commercialization of technologies to better serve our patients and increase wealth and prosperity in the region. These technology areas of opportunity - including Regenerative Medicine, Genomics, Imaging/Medical Devices and Data/Analytics - have been identified based on the institutions, assets and resources already present in the region upon which we can build.
Investment from multinational enterprises in the cluster is starting to gain momentum. Corporations such as Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Celgene, GE Healthcare and IBM are establishing major facilities and placing investments in the GTA, many times with support or financial assistance of at least one level of government. A global venture fund, Versant Ventures, has made five major investments in the region over the past three years, including the most recent investment of $225M USD into a new regenerative medicine company using technology from Toronto’s UHN and the McEwan Center for Regenerative Medicine. We expect to build on this momentum to create even more centres of excellence, and with them, jobs.
Our vision is to elevate the Toronto region HHS cluster to Top 5 global status within 10 years. TO Health! has been formed with a mandate to build a community of stakeholders working in concert to first and foremost stimulate eco-nomic growth of the cluster. With a diverse population, a pool of highly-skilled, well-educated people and an engaged group of leaders willing to influence action on priorities, we are in an enviable position to build from strength.
Canada. It also has the largest concentration of research institutions, attracting the lion’s share of Ontario’s $7B spend on R&D. Toronto region is home to over 50+ head offices of multinational companies, homegrown businesses and 1000+ start ups. Overall the region contributes over 10% of Canada’s total GDP output.

This document, called the HHS Cluster Action Plan, represents the framework and roadmap to achieving our objec-tives. The plan is an industry-focused, multi-stakeholder effort, which includes ideas and inputs from past learnings and summarizes required contribution from business leaders, government, and academic institutions. Its ideas have been shaped and supported by foundational work from Influential organizations including Life Sciences Ontario (LSO), Ontario Biotechnology Innovation Organization (OBIO), Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), Toronto Region Board of Trade (TRBOT), MaRS, CIty of Mississauga and others collaborators whose consultation and policy development efforts have laid the groundwork for this plan.
In creating this document, cluster leaders came together at the working sessions held by TO Health! in October 2016 to align, refine and prioritize actions we need to take together to improve the competitiveness of the Toronto region. Participants included business leaders, policymakers, scientists, investors and entrepreneurs whose ideas, insights and energy went into the roundtables and who will continue to play essential roles in the creation and implementation of this plan.
(See Appendices for the full list of participants and detailed session notes).
Following the roundtables, TOHealth! narrowed a longer list of potential actions and tactics into a prioritized set of eight key recommendations that are collectively intended to help Toronto’s HHS cluster raise its profile both at home and abroad, expand access to risk capital, attract and expand the local footprint of multinational enterprises and attract experienced entrepreneurs to (or back to) the region:

CLUSTER ACTION PLAN SUMMARY
8.2.3-11
7
Moving forward, TOHealth! and its cluster partners will be focused on three core mandates:
1. Launching a Core Set of immediate Projects
At least three of the recommendations captured above are ready for immediate action – with work on some already well underway: developing an Integrated cluster Inventory; hosting world-class conferences; and creating a dedicated program to expand global HHS connections. TOHealth! and its partners will focus on accelerating the momentum behind these ideas and ensuring they have the resources and support required to successfully launch.
2. Refining and Enhancing Longer-term Projects
From a Health Technology Integration Program to HHS Data Access and Integration to creating a HHS Venture Fund, a number of the recommendations in this plan have been deliberately selected to catalyze debate and discussion and generate opportunities for additional research and refine-ment. TOHealth! and its partners will work diligently to develop detailed implementation plans for those more nascent recommendations.
3. Engaging with Key Strategic and Funding Partners
Working through both its HHS Committee and the broad group of cluster leaders whose insights are captured in the pages above, TOHealth! will communicate the Cluster Action Plan to public and private sector leaders across the region. Particular emphasis will be placed on engaging with a broader set of ministries across the Government of Ontario beyond MEDG, and working closely with both FedDev and Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada – as well as leading municipal government allies and advocates from across the region.
The Toronto region is already home to an HHS ‘Supercluster’, defined by exceptional researchers, world-class innova-tion institutions and an impressive array of early stage and global companies. All stakeholders including government at all levels must (continue to) recognize this cluster’s magnitude and potential. The initiatives and ideas contained in this plan are intended to build on that exceptional foundation to help the cluster achieve its goal of becoming top 5 in 10 years.

The estimated cost for the detail design of the recommended alternative is $900,000 (pre-tax). Approved funds are available in capital project #173610-004
in the amount of $500,000. An estimated budget shortfall is $400,000.
The recommended alternative will be incorporated in the Region of Peel’s contract for the Downtown Capital Project Phase 1, for which construction is to
begin in Spring 2018.
The Environmental Study Report will be filed for a mandatory 30-day public
review period after the resolution of this report.

In May 2016, Council directed staff to undertake necessary actions to ensure the restoration works associated with the Region of Peel’s Downtown Capital Project Phase
1 to provide for increased walkability and pedestrian capacity specifically along Main Street from Nelson Street to Wellington but to also improve other areas as appropriate.
Staff initiated the Environmental Assessment (EA) study under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act for streetscape improvements on Main Street between
Nelson Street East and Wellington Street and on Queen Street between Mill Street South to Chapel Street due to capacity changes and cost. A Notice of Study Commencement was issued on November 24, 2016 for a Schedule “B” project as
outlined in the Municipal Class EA document. The study was then re-categorized as Schedule “C” due to the increased estimated costs for underground and above ground
infrastructure improvements. Per Schedule “C” requirements, two (2) Public Information Centres (PIC) were held at
the Rose Theatre on February 23, 2017 and April 27, 2017. Staff also engaged with the Downtown Brampton Business Improvement Area (BIA) as well as other community
stakeholders throughout the study process. The EA study is being coordinated with all the other on-going studies and projects in the downtown including the Queen Street Transit Master Plan, Riverwalk, and Active Transportation Master Plan.
In Spring 2018, the Region of Peel will begin construction of Phase 1 of a multi -year
project that will replace aging infrastructure, reline existing sanitary sewers, and install new watermains and sanitary sewers. The focus of this phase is downtown Brampton, as per Attachment 1, with the following conservative limits that allow for traffic
management during construction:
9.2.1-2
Queen Street – Mill Street to Centre Street
Main Street – Church Street to south of Wellington Street
Chapel Street – Queen Street to Peel Street
Moore Crescent; Mary Street – Queen Street to Moore Crescent
Elizabeth Street – Queen Street to Wellington Street
George Street – Queen Street to 50 metres south
Current Situation:
Downtown Brampton within the study limits has a restricted right-of-way of approximately 20-metres. In order to accommodate wider sidewalks, active
transportation and create a place-making destination for Bramptonians; facilities such as dedicated on-street parking, loading zones and utilities have to be relocated to allow for
this change. Through public, agency, and stakeholder input, the recommended alternative cross-
section for Main Street from Nelson Street East to Wellington Street and Queen Street from Mill Street South to Chapel Street is one vehicular lane and one bicycle lane in
each direction, wider sidewalks on both sides, and removal of dedicated on-street parking (See Attachment 2). This cross section improves capacity for active modes, and generally enhances the pedestrian realm through the downtown core.
The limits of the Region of Peel’s work, as described above, extend beyond the limits of
the EA study. Therefore, as part of the overall construction work for streetscape improvements, staff recommends that resurfacing of Main Street and Queen Street match the limits of the Region of Peel’s Downtown Capital Project Phase 1 and be
implemented into the design and tender. Theme and Concept:
Streetscape improvements will create an environment where all modes of travel are
accommodated, and enhancements are made for pedestrians and cyclists. The street design will create a flexible area that when closed to vehicles will be able to easily
transform into event and festival space and wider sidewalks will encourage outdoor retailing and cafes. See Attachments 3 through 6 for more detail.
The design along City Hall and Garden Square will integrate those spaces into the streets to allow them to expand for special events. Lower curb profiles will make it easy
for people to walk around the street during these events and the provision of infrastructure will provide the opportunity for a wide range of programming.
Downtown Brampton has a variety of traditional and contemporary architecture reflective of the evolution of downtown over many years. The design intent of the streetscape
9.2.1-3
improvements is to use a contemporary design approach but with materials, colour and styles that will respect and complement the architectural variety found in downtown.
The palette of streetscape elements, trees and materials will be selected to provide a consistency and richness to downtown. New lighting will create an enhanced nighttime
experience and the opportunity for seasonal changes. Parking:
Staff recommends removing dedicated on-street parking on both Main Street and Queen
Street within the study limits to accommodate wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes. The five (5) parking garages downtown have enough capacity during peak times throughout the year to accommodate on-street parking needs (see Attachment 7). One accessible
parking spot will be provided adjacent to City Hall on Main Street and others will be located in various locations throughout downtown.
Loading Zones:
Staff recommends that loading zones be relocated from Main Street and Queen Street to the City-owned laneways within the downtown (see Attachment 8). This will allow for
continuous, unimpeded cycle lanes and provide for wider pedestrian sidewalks. It was determined that loading zones on Main Street and Queen Street in the context of the recommended cross-section would cause unacceptable delays to traffic and transit, and
could increase vehicular and pedestrian/cyclist interactions. To allow for larger trucks, provisions will be made to implement one loading zone on Main Street adjacent to City
Hall. Cycle Lanes:
At PIC #2, input from the public was requested specifically on the layout of the bicycle
lanes. The feedback received indicated a preference for “raised” bicycle lanes, at grade with the sidewalk, with a mountable curb creating a separation from the vehicular lane. Cyclists will be separated from pedestrians by a street furniture zone that will house
street trees, garbage receptacles, benches, street lights, bollards, etc. This cycling infrastructure through the downtown will enhance active transportation connectivity, and
create favourable conditions to encourage new and experienced cyclists to visit the downtown, and to ride through it in a safe and attractive environment.
Traffic:
By reconfiguring Main Street and Queen Street to one-lane in each direction, traffic is expected to slow down within the study area, which is typical in a downtown environment. It is also expected that some traffic will re-route to by-pass the downtown
area. The traffic impact study conducted through the EA finds side street impacts are
9.2.1-4
within an acceptable range. Staff will continue to monitor the traffic operations in the downtown and surrounding areas after implementation of the recommended alternative.
Transit:
On-going coordination with the Queen Street Transit Master Plan is taking place and the recommended alternative of the EA provides for lanes wide enough to accommodate transit movement. A recommendation from the study is to remove the trellis structure in
Ken Whillans Square to utilize the space by relocating the Zum shelter in this area. This will allow for wider sidewalks, a continuous cycle lane and a smooth transition from the
sidewalk into the Square. At Nelson Street, there may be an opportunity to relocate the Zum shelter from under the CN bridge. This will be investigated further during detail design but is dependent on the availability of land in the area.
Laneways:
Currently there are laneways under various ownership in the downtown area that have the potential to be utilized for loading zones as well as waste removal. Although
laneways are not in the scope of the study, the EA will recommend that a more in depth study be completed on integrating the laneways into the streetscape improvements.
Cost:
The cost of the streetscape work alone is estimated to be in the order of $25M. As detail design progresses, staff will develop a comprehensive project budget to include
streetscape civil work and tunnel remediation for the 2018 capital budget submission. The estimated cost for detail design of the streetscaping improvements is $900,000
(pre-tax). Approved funds are available in capital project #173610-004 in the amount of $500,000. Staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $400,000 to project
#173610-004 in order to retain an engineering consultant for the detailed design of the recommended alternative.
Environmental Assessment Process:
The Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be filed for a mandatory 30-day public review period. During this period a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order to comply with the Part II of the
Environmental Assessment Act.
9.2.1-5
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
Funding for this initiative is available in Project #173610-004-Project Design. However, a
budget amendment will be required in the amount of $400,000 with a transfer from the Reserve #4 – Asset Replacement in the amount of $400,000.
*Includes the 1.76% HST impact. ** Sufficient funding is available at the project level
Additional funding for streetscape improvements in the order of $25 million will be requested as part of the 2018 capital budget submission, pending Council approval.
Traffic Implications:
As a result of the recommended alternative various amendments to Traffic By-law 93-93
will be required. Staff will report to an upcoming meeting of council with the recommended amendments.
Economic Implications:
The downtown farmers’ market and signature events planned and executed by the Festivals and Special Events Division within Economic Development and Culture promote and support local businesses and bring neighbors together, thus increasing
local social capital and providing a vibrant hub for commerce and creativity in our downtown urban centre. The Region of Peel’s Downtown Capital Project Phase 1, set to
begin in Spring 2018, will temporarily displace the weekly market, and potentially impact the usual location of the signature events. In an effort to maintain consistency and sustain the success of these events, staff are reviewing alternative downtown locations,
with a plan to return to all events to their usual locations once the work is complete. Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities through Move and Connect and Strong
Communities by investing in new infrastructure, maintaining a state of good repair and creating connected spaces in the heart of the city for people to live, work and play.

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-03-21
Subject: All-way Stop Review: Church Street and Victoria Street (Ward 6)
- File I.AC (TRAF)
Contact: Mushtaq Tunio, Traffic Operations Technologist, Road Maintenance,
Operations & Fleet, Public Works & Engineering Department, 905-874-3581
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Mushtaq Tunio, Traffic Operations Technologist, Road
Maintenance, Operations & Fleet, Public Works & Engineering Department,
dated March 21, 2017, to the Committee of Council meeting of May 31, 2017, re: All-way Stop Review: Church Street and Victoria Street (Ward 6) (File
I.AC (TRAF)), be received; and
2. That an all-way stop be implemented at the intersection of Church Street and
Victoria Street
Overview:
Staff was requested to review the intersection of Church Street and
Victoria Street to determine if a convex mirror or alternate form of traffic control should be implemented.
Based on the review of the intersection of Church Street and Victoria
Street, staff recommends all-way stop control.
Staff presented the recommendation to residents who attended the Ward
6 ratepayer meeting on February 27, 2017.
Background:
Staff was requested to review the intersection of Church Street and Victoria Street to determine whether a convex mirror or additional traffic control is required to alleviate
traffic safety concerns.
9.2.2-1
Current Situation:
The current traffic control at the T-intersection of Church Street and Victoria Street includes a yield sign facing southbound traffic. The other two approaches are
uncontrolled. See attached Figure 1 for the location of the subject intersection.
Staff do not recommend the installation of a convex mirror at this location as they are
not frequently used on public roadways for the following reasons:
Convex mirrors distort the image of approaching vehicles and can provide a
false sense of distance, location, and speed of an approaching vehicle;
Convex mirrors can cause sun glare issues;
The use of the mirror is susceptible to weather and environmental impacts
such as dirt/fog/rain/snow/condensation;
Dependent on the configuration of the roadway, placement of the mirror could
be susceptible to movement, damage or misalignment due to vandalism or
wind and would require regular inspections/maintenance. To overcome some
of these issues, the location may have to be located out of the predictable line
of sight for drivers;
Multiple light sources (stopped vehicles, streetlights etc..) reflecting back to
drivers at night, can cause confusion for drivers and pedestrians;
Risk management/liability concerns due to the issues above.
Taking into consideration the above issues related to a convex mirror, staff reviewed the subject intersection to determine the most appropriate actions and forms of traffic control. The options investigated include:
A. Converting the intersection to an all-way stop due to the uniqueness of this
location and to provide more guidance to all drivers.
B. Converting the existing Yield sign (southbound) to a Stop Sign, with a Stop
Line painted (at a location to provide better visibility, but still within acceptable
guidelines).
C. Stop sign only on Church St (Victoria St does not stop).
D. Stop sign on both directions on Victoria St (Church St does not stop).
E. Clearing foliage at the intersection to increase sightlines
After reviewing the options, staff recommend implementing an all-way stop at the location, in combination with clearing foliage, as the other options are either counter
9.2.2-2
intuitive to driver expectations, would allow for a potential conflict between vehicles or do not fully address the sightline concerns.
On Monday, February 27, 2017, staff attended a Ward 6 ratepayer meeting and
presented the concerns with a convex mirror, recommending to area residents the installation of an all-way stop as well as clearing foliage. The feedback received from
the residents on the recommended solution (all-way stop and clearing foliage) was positive.
Based on the above, an all-way stop control is recommended at the subject
intersection.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
The costs associated with the installation of the traffic signs and pavement marking
changes required to support this initiative are estimated to be $400. These costs are to be funded from account # 200212.001.1320.0001 and # 201127.001.1305.0001.
There are sufficient funds available to proceed with this initiative.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Move and Connect Priority of the Strategic Plan by keeping people and goods moving efficiently by investing in new infrastructure and
maintaining a good state of repair.
Conclusion:
An all-way stop is recommended at the intersection of Church Street and Victoria
Street which requires an amendment to the All Way Stop and Through Highway schedules of City of Brampton Traffic By-law 93-93.

Subject: Traffic Related Issues – U-turns on Glenvale Boulevard (Ward 8)
- File I.AC (TRAF)
Contact: Mushtaq Tunio, Traffic Operations Technologist, Road Maintenance,
Operations & Fleet, Public Works & Engineering Department, 905-874-3581
Recommendations:
1. THAT the report from Mushtaq Tunio, Traffic Operations Technologist, Road
Maintenance, Operations & Fleet, Public Works & Engineering Department, dated
April 5, 2017, to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017 re: Traffic
Related Issues – U-turns on Glenvale Boulevard (Ward 8) - File I.AC (TRAF),
be received; and,
2. THAT Traffic By-law 93-93, as amended, be further amended to implement a U-
turn restriction on Glenvale Boulevard between Central Park Drive and a point 30
meters south of Geraldine Court.
Overview:
Staff received a traffic safety concern related to U-turns on Glenvale
Boulevard in the vicinity of Holy Name of Mary Secondary School from an
area resident.
Staff observations reveal a higher than expected number of U-turns on
Glenvale Boulevard at the Holy Name of Mary Secondary School frontage,
resulting in congestion and difficulties for through traffic. As such, staff is
recommending a U-turn restriction for both northbound and southbound
traffic on Glenvale Boulevard adjacent to the Holy Name of Mary Secondary
School.
9.2.3-1
Background:
Staff received a request from an area resident to restrict U-turns on Glenvale Boulevard
at the Holy Name of Mary Secondary School.
Current Situation:
Holy Name of Mary Secondary School is located on Glenvale Boulevard. Motorists were reported to be performing unsafe and disruptive U-turn manoeuvers after dropping
off or picking up students attending the Holy Name of Mary Secondary School. Observations undertaken to determine the frequency of vehicles making U-turns at the
intersection revealed a higher than usual number of U-turns. These U-turns cause congestion and difficulties for through traffic. As such, staff is recommending
implementation of a U-turn restriction for both northbound and southbound on Glenvale Boulevard between Central Park Drive and a point 30 meters south of Geraldine Court. Figure 1, attached, illustrates the recommended restrictions.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
The costs associated with the installation of the traffic signs required to support this initiative are estimated to be $350.00. These costs are to be funded from account #
200212.001.1320.0001.
There are sufficient funds available to proceed with this initiative. Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Move and Connect Priority of the Strategic Plan by keeping people moving efficiently by investing in new infrastructure and maintaining a state-of-good-repair.
Conclusion:
Based on received concerns from a resident within the area neighborhood and based on
staff observations, staff recommends implementing a “U-turn” restriction for both northbound and southbound traffic on Glenvale Boulevard in the vicinity of Holy Name of
Mary Secondary School. This will require an amendment to the U-turn Schedule in Traffic By-law 93-93

2. That Traffic By-law 93-93, as amended, be further amended to implement “No
Stopping, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.” on the south side of Bramtrail
Gate between Baylor Drive and Van Kirk Drive.
Overview:
Staff received traffic related concerns from an area resident related to on-
street parking and/or stopping on Bramtrail Gate in the vicinity of St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Elementary School.
Staff reviewed and recommends the implementation of No Stopping, Monday to Friday, 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., on the south side of Bramtrail
Gate between Baylor Drive and Van Kirk Drive.
Background:
Staff received a request from an area resident to investigate the possibility of restricting stopping on Bramtrail Gate in the vicinity of St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Elementary School.
9.2.4-1
Current Situation:
Staff conducted observations to determine the frequency and impact of on-street
stopping/parking, generated by St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Elementary School, on the residents of Bramtrail Gate between Baylor Drive and Van Kirk Drive. These
observations revealed a number of vehicles stopped/parked, sometimes blocking driveways and causing difficulties for through traffic. A survey was subsequently undertaken to ascertain the preferences of residents affected by any proposed changes
in restrictions.
Based on the observations and the results of the survey, staff recommends
implementing No Stopping, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on the south side of Bramtrail Gate between Baylor Drive and Van Kirk Drive. This restriction will assist the residents in accessing their driveways and provide a clear passage for vehicles
accessing the roadway. The north side of Bramtrail Gate was not recommended for restrictions so as to permit students being dropped off to access St. Josephine Bakhita
Catholic Elementary School without crossing the roadway. Figure 1, attached, illustrates the recommended restrictions.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
The costs associated with the installation of the traffic signs required to support this
initiative are estimated to be $200.00. These costs are to be funded from account # 200212.001.1320.0001.
There are sufficient funds available to proceed with this initiative.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Move and Connect Priority of the Strategic Plan by keeping people and goods moving efficiently by investing in new infrastructure and maintaining a

Report
Committee of Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2017-05-31
Date: 2017-05-23
Subject: Matters Arising from the Member Services Committee Meeting (May 8, 2017) - Council Office Constituency Assistant Positions
Contact: P. Fay, City Clerk, 905.874.2172, [email protected] Recommendations:
1. That the report from Peter Fay, City Clerk, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, dated May 23, 2017, to the Committee of Council Meeting of May 31, 2017, re: Matters Arising from the Member Services Committee Meeting (May 8, 2017) – Council Office Constituency Assistant Positions, be received.
Overview:
At its May 8 meeting, the Member Services Committee meeting referred the following matters to staff for review and a report back:
o Converting contract Constituency Assistant positions to permanent full-time positions
o Establishing a “work from home/anywhere” corporate policy for the Corporation, including the Council Office, by July 1, 2017.
This report responds to these matters and reports on the work underway by staff on the “work from home/anywhere” policy. Staff is developing a holistic approach to modernizing the workplace that combines flexible Human Resources policies, mobile technology and updated office space standards. A corporate policy will not be ready by July 1, 2017. More information will be presented to Council later this year with supporting Human Resources policies to follow in 2018.
The current job description for the Constituency Assistant contemplates working from City Hall, with minimal work outside City Hall. Administrative support for Councillors, as currently defined and established by Council decision, cannot be effectively maintained with Constituency Assistants working from any other location other than the Council Office at City Hall.
A related closed session report regarding details pertaining to converting contract Constituency Assistant positions to permanent full-time positions is provided to Committee on the May 31 Committee of Council meeting
7.2.9 - 1
agenda for consideration in closed session as this matter relates to personal matters about identifiable individuals including municipal or local board employees and labour relations or employee negotiation matters.
Background: The Member Services Committee, at its May 8, 2017 meeting, passed the following recommendation (Recommendation MS014-2017):
WHEREAS Council Resolution C173– 2015 states that Members of Council, in consultation with their assistants, will determine the best functional approach to meet their respective support needs in order to ensure an effective support model is in place to best serve constituency demands; and WHEREAS the current combination of full-time and contract-term employees in the Council Office has resulted in administrative challenges to delivering a consistent, equitable level of service to all Members of Council; and WHEREAS the City of Brampton has made a significant investment to upgrade to Windows 365 in order to take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing; therefore, be it resolved THAT the Council Liaison Coordinator be directed to meet with each Member of Council to determine their specific administrative needs with a particular emphasis on developing an administrative framework and the supporting policies and procedures to assist them in achieving the best functional approach to serve their constituency demands; and further That the following clause be referred to staff for a report to the May 31 Committee of Council meeting:
THAT effective immediately, all current and future Council Constituency Assistants become full-time employees of the Corporation of the City of Brampton and the council office budget be adjusted to reflect this change; and further
That the following clause be referred to staff for a report to Committee of Council:
THAT a telecommute/work from home/work from anywhere policy, applicable to the entire Corporation including the Council Office, be developed and implemented by July 01, 2017 to take advantage of the City’s investment in its information technology systems.
7.2.9 - 2
The Council Liaison Coordinator is scheduling meetings with individual Councillors to discuss individual support needs to serve their constituency needs. This report addresses the Committee’s referral requests related to:
general information regarding the conversion of contract Constituency Assistant positions to full-time employees, and
the development of a telecommute/work from home/work from anywhere policy for the Corporation, including the Council Office.
A separate closed session report is provided to Committee on the May 31 Committee of Council agenda regarding details for the conversion of contract Constituency Assistant positions to full-time employees. Current Situation: Council Office Support Model:
In late 2014 and early 2015, Council made and re-considered a number of decisions, to establish an appropriate Council Office support system. Council contemplated establishing executive-assistant positions reporting directly to each Ward pairing of Councillors, and then reconsidered its decision and changed the administrative support model for the Council Office from 5 Councillors Assistants supporting 10 Councillors to 10 Constituency Assistants supporting 10 Councillors.
All new Constituency Assistants hired by the City were through employment contracts for the term of Council, to allow Council the flexibility to determine its most appropriate support model in future terms of Council, and based on prevailing Council support models in place in other large municipalities where Council Office staff are contract staff reporting directly to the Councillor.
A companion closed session report on the implications of converting the contract Constituency Assistant positions to permanent full-time positions is provided to Committee of Council. Work from Home / Work from Anywhere Policy: The Member Services Committee requested staff to establish a “work from home / work from anywhere” policy by July 2017, including the Council Office. The City currently does not have a formal work from home policy. Staff is developing a holistic approach to modernizing the workplace that combines flexible Human Resources policies, mobile technology and updated office space standards. Human Resources, Information technology and Accommodation Planning are establishing a coordinated work plan to enable this vision. Human Resources policies that allow employees to work remotely (i.e. a “work anywhere” policy) will be developed for this initiative. The workplace strategy will support the City’s People
7.2.9 - 3
Advantage strategy which seeks to achieve high levels of employee engagement to drive results for the City. To achieve this modern vision for the organization’s workplace, a deliberate and planned approach will be taken to ensure that management and employees are supported through the change process. More information will be presented on this initiative to Council later this year with supporting Human Resources policies to follow in 2018. In the meantime, the current nature of the Constituency Assistant position, as an administrative assistant to work in the Council office, primarily including managing email, telephone calls, scheduling, communications, meetings, administrative tasks, etc. is a position that is most effective working from the Council Office at City Hall. The nature of the position necessitates good two-way communications between the Ward Councillors and the Constituency Assistants. If the Constituency Assistant is absent from the Council Office on a regular basis, the administrative support for the Councillor is diminished. Constituency Assistants have not been equipped with the technology tools to work from home, nor have those expectations been established through the current employment contract and work expectations. Constituency Assistants are not provided City-issued mobile phones or laptops anticipating work from home opportunities. Issuing Corporate smartphones and/or laptops to 10 Constituency Assistants is not included in the Council Office budget. The current job description for the Constituency Assistant contemplates working from City Hall, with minimal work outside City Hall. Administrative support for Councillors, as currently defined and established by Council decision, cannot be effectively maintained with Constituency Assistants working from any other location other than the Council Office at City Hall. Corporate Implications: Financial Implications:
The conversion of contract Constituency Assistants to full-time positions will result in an immediate budget increase for the Council Office and possible future budget implications, as documented in the companion closed session report.
If Council approves the conversion, staff will request the incremental expenditure increase within the 2018 base budget of Cost Center 0119 – Council Office.
7.2.9 - 4
Other Implications:
Strategic Plan: This report achieves the Strategic Plan priority of Good Government by ensuring effective and transparent governance support systems are in place for the Corporation and Council decision-making. Conclusion: At the Member Services Committee meeting of May 8, 2017, three requests were made of staff:
Meet with individual Councillors to discuss individual support needs to serve their constituency needs. This is being coordinated by the Council Liaison Coordinator.
Report to the May 31, 2017 Committee of Council meeting on the conversion of contract Constituency Assistant positions to full-time employees, and the budget implications of this change. This public session report introduces this matter and a companion closed session report on the same Committee of Council meeting agenda further details the implications of converting the positions.
Report by July 2017 on the development of a telecommute/work from home/work from anywhere policy for the Corporation, including the Council Office. Staff is working on an appropriate policy and program initiative through its PeopleAdvantage strategy, but the program will not be ready until 2018. It is premature to make work from anywhere decisions for Constituency Assistants at this time, and the Council-approved administrative support model for the Constituency Assistant position does not currently align with a work from anywhere approach.

Environmental Assessment Study – Wards 1 and 3 Summary: Downtown Reimagined is a spectacular opportunity…a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform the commercial retail and residential activity in the downtown Brampton business district. Downtown Brampton Reimagined will also make our downtown representative of the City we aspire to be. Firstly, the Downtown Brampton BIA would like to thank Jayne Holmes and her team for the work that they have done on the Downtown Brampton Streetscaping Improvements. The Downtown Brampton BIA has attended all of the City of Brampton PICS or public information sessions held in Feb. 15 & April 27, 2017. For the record the DBBIA represents over 340 businesses and property owners in the DBBIA and is the voice of the downtown business community. The Downtown Brampton BIA will be communicating and advocating on behalf of all of our 340+ business owners and operators in the BIA boundary. Downtown Brampton BIA Concerns: A) Ease of Storefront Access:
-Commercial delivery -Loading zones – laneways to be considered – will we get a schematic overview of this to review? -Drop off – people and product – (i.e. dropping people off to various points in the downtown core who may have some sort of mobility issue.
B) Ease of Access to Main & Queen Street Parking: -Report and recommendations addresses parking quantitatively but not qualitatively C) Timeframe:
-Can the Streetscaping follow the watermain in a shorter timeframe? -How did we get to Phase I & Phase II? Can this work be done altogether?
D) Request for Engineering Consultant:
-An ask from the City of Brampton for an additional $400,000.00 is currently in this report to retain an engineering consultant to prepare the detailed design of the recommended alternative to meet the Region of Peel’s Downtown Capital Project - Phase 1. -Can the City of Brampton ensure that these monies will be utilized to address some of the DBBIA concerns with regards to EASE of ACCESS & PARKING?
E) Parking: Parking Study Reports and Traffic Reports – What reports were utilized to support
this report?

AMO conducted a detailed financial analysis of municipal revenues and expenditures, projecting out to 2025, and found if municipal governments were to rely mainly on property taxes, with all else being equal, would require, on average, an estimated 8% property tax increase for 10 years to fund existing programs and services and fund the infrastructure deficit.
AMO is now seeking member input on a proposal called Local Share, a new 1% sales tax, as an option, dedicated to help fund critical local services. The goal is to reduce the pressure on property tax increases and provide municipal governments with a more diverse source of revenues to build stronger communities.
City of Brampton:
As previously communicated, each Councillor should have already received, or will soon be receiving, further documentations from AMO.
AMO is not looking for a formal position, but asking each elected official to think about Local Share as a potential option to address pressures on municipal governments.
Further details may be available during the AMO Annual Conference (August 13 – 16).
