(II) OTHER BUSINESS (III) ADJOURNMENT eit, o0 Report to Planning & Development Committee PICKERING Report Number: PLN 14 -13 Date: June 10, 2013 From: Thomas Melymuk Director, City Development Subject: Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 3/13 OPB Realty Inc. (Pickering Town Centre) 1355 Kingston Road Recommendation: That Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 3/13, submitted by OPB Realty Inc., to permit a seasonal outdoor Farmers' Market use on lands municipally known as 1355 Kingston Road, be approved, and that the draft zoning by -law, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 14 -13 be forwarded to City Council for enactment. Executive Summary: For each of the past two years, the applicant has obtained approval from the Committee of Adjustment for a minor variance application to permit the operation of a temporary seasonal open air market (Farmers' Market) on the Pickering Town Centre lands. This spring, the applicant submitted a zoning by -law amendment application to permit an outdoor seasonal Farmers' Market on the Pickering Town Centre lands, annually. The proposed Farmers' Market will be situated in the parking lot to the east of the shopping centre immediately across from the Pickering Civic Complex and Central Library, and will be in operation once a week, from June 1St to October 31St , every year (see Location Map and Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachments #1 and #2). Staff has had an opportunity to evaluate and monitor the operation of the Farmers' Market over the last two years. It is concluded that the proposed zoning by -law amendment application to permit a Farmers' Market conforms to the policies and provisions of the Pickering Official Plan and is consistent with the goals and urban design objectives of the Pickering Downtown Core Development Guidelines. Staff recommends that the application be approved, and the implementing zoning by -law, attached as Appendix I, be forwarded to Council for enactment. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the proposed development. Report PLN 14 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: OPB Realty Inc. (Pickering Town Centre) (A 3/13) Page 2 1. Background In 2011 and 2012, OPB Realty Inc., the owner of the Pickering Town Centre, submitted minor variance applications to the Committee of Adjustment to permit a temporary seasonal open air market (Farmers' Market). Based on the operational success of the Farmers' Market at the Pickering Town Centre, City staff requested that the applicant submit a zoning by -law amendment to permit, on a permanent basis, a seasonal Farmers' Market use on the subject lands. 1.1 Property Description The subject property is a major commercial site that has frontages along Kingston Road, Liverpool Road, Pickering Parkway and Glenanna Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The property is approximately 22 hectares in area . The property currently supports the Pickering Town Centre shopping mall, the north terminus of the pedestrian bridge connecting to the GO Station, a GO Transit parking structure, an office building, Durham /Centennial College, a vacant commercial building (formally occupied by Golden Griddle) and a proposed commercial building (to be occupied by Jack Astor's). Surrounding land uses include a variety of retail commercial uses of different scales, high density residential and office uses, and the Pickering Civic Complex and Central Library. 1.2 Applicant's Proposal The applicant proposes to amend the zoning by -law to permit a seasonal outdoor Farmers' Market. The proposed Farmers' Market will be situated within the parking lot to the east of the Pickering Town Centre shopping mall, across from the Pickering Civic Complex and Central Library (see cross - hatched area on Location Map, Attachment #1). The Farmers' Market will be in operation once a week, annually from June 1St to October 31St. The overall concept plan for the Farmers' Market includes temporary structures for different vendors, storage pods and an entertainment stage (see Applicant's Submitted Plan, Attachment #2). No exterior changes to the existing buildings are proposed in connection with this use. Report PLN 14 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: OPB Realty Inc. (Pickering Town Centre) (A 3/13) Page 3 2. Comments Received 2.1 At the April 8, 2013 Public Information Meeting and in written submission No public were present at the meeting to express their support or concerns for this proposal. Committee members raised the following questions to be addressed by City Development Staff: • will the approval of this application prohibit vendors from setting up elsewhere and also whether there are any regulations for ensuring local produce • will there be sufficient supply of parking available during the operation of the Farmers' Market; and • what is the definition of "locally grown food" In response, staff prepared a memorandum to the Chief Administrative Officer. This memo, dated May 15, 2013, was recently circulated to all members of Council. In brief, operation of a Farmers' Market in Pickering requires zoning, and a business license from the City if it is operated for profit. Both the Region of Durham Health Department and the Province of Ontario inspect and regulate farmers' markets, primarily from a health and food safety perspective. Staff is recommending a definition for Farmers' Market that requires the food to be locally grown in Ontario. The concern regarding sufficient supply of parking spaces during the operation of the Farmers' Market would be required for any site seeking zoning, and for the Pickering Town Centre proposal, this issue is addressed in section 3.2 of this Report. 2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments Region of Durham • the Region of Durham Planning Department has advised that the proposal to permit a Farmers' Market is permitted by the policies of the Regional Official Plan • the application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan review responsibilities • the application generally conforms with the Growth Plan of the Greater Golden Horseshoe • the proposed amendment does not present any significant Regional transportation or transit impacts Engineering & • no comments or concerns Public Works Economic • the Economic Development Office fully supports this Development application • uses such as this are integral to the development of a vibrant downtown • the proposed use will create a healthy gathering space where residents of all ages that can come together and be engaged by the agricultural, artistic and cultural communities Report.PLN 14 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: OPB Realty Inc. (Pickering Town Centre) (A 3/13) Page 4 the location of this market is appropriate as visitors can access the market by various modes of transportation including walking, cycling, public bus and train transit and personal vehicle the Farmers' Market will also positively affect the overall economic health of the downtown as it draws more visitors and shoppers to the area 3. Planning Analysis 3.1 The proposed Farmers' Market use complies with the Pickering Official Plan and the Downtown Core Development Guidelines The Official Plan designates the subject property as "Mixed Uses Areas — Downtown Core" within the Town Centre neighbourhood. This designation is the City's main focus for business, employment, entertainment, shopping, major community and cultural uses, major indoor recreations facilities, and high density residential accommodation. The Downtown Core has the widest range of permissible uses in the City, and is intended to permit development at the greatest scale and intensity. The proposed Farmers' Market use complies with the policies of the Pickering Official Plan. The Downtown Core Development Guidelines provide a framework that supports the long -term vision for the downtown as: a major regional landmark and a destination point; a strong civic and cultural focus for Pickering; and having a range of uses including housing, employment, retail and entertainment that would support the creation of a safe, comfortable, and inviting pedestrian environment. The proposed Farmers' Market supports the urban design objectives of the Downtown Core by creating an inviting and lively pedestrian environment along Glenanna Road and reinforcing the Downtown as a destination. 3.2 Sufficient parking supply is available to support the seasonal Farmers' Market and the Pickering Town Centre The proposed seasonal outdoor Farmers' Market will occupy a total of 90 parking spaces, which represents a temporary removal of 2% of the overall supply of parking on the Pickering Town Centre site. During the operation of the Farmers' Market, a total of 4,153 parking spaces will be available. The applicant has advised that over the past two years during the operation of the seasonal Farmers' Market that there was a sufficient supply of on -site parking to serve the Farmers' Market and the Pickering Town Centre. Staff are satisfied that as a temporary use, the Farmers' Market will not unduly impact the functionality of the site during its operation. Further, a more than adequate supply of parking will be maintained on the property to serve the users of the site while the Farmers' Market is operational. Report PLN 14 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: OPB Realty Inc. (Pickering Town Centre) (A 3/13) Page 5 3.3 Sustainability Implications Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the small scope of the zoning by -law amendment application, which is to permit a seasonal outdoor Farmers' Market, there is limited opportunities to achieve Level 1. By hosting a Farmers' Market, the Pickering Town Centre shows its commitment to sustainability by helping local farmers, encouraging community access to and support for locally grown food, and supporting local food banks through charitable donation of food products. Further opportunities exist on the subject lands to implement additional sustainable options through future development. 3.4 By -law to be forwarded to Council The subject lands are currently zoned "MCA -1, MCA- 1/CO -2 and MCA -1 /GSY by Zoning By -law 3036 as amended by By -law 5994/02, which permits a variety of commercial uses. The draft zoning by -law attached as Appendix I to this Report expands the list of permitted uses to include a Farmers' Market use on the subject lands. The draft by -law establishes a new definition for an outdoor Farmers' Market where the majority of the vendors must be primary producers of farm products grown within the Province of Ontario. The new definition will distinguish a Farmers' Market from a Flea Market. The draft by -law also includes provisions exempting a Farmers' Market operating outdoors from requiring additional parking, and reducing the minimum number of required parking spaces to be provided on the subject lands while the Farmers' Market is in operation. It is recommend that the draft by -law be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. Appendix Appendix I Draft By -law Attachments 1. Location Map 2.

That Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP- 2012 -02, submitted by Nanak Creations Inc., on lands being Part of Lot 1, Plan 388 and Block 39, Plan 40M -2086, to establish blocks for residential, road widening and 0.3 metre reserve uses as shown on Attachment #4 to Report Number PLN 16 -13, and the implementing conditions as set out in Appendix II, be endorsed; and 3. Further, that Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 5/12, submitted by Nanak Creations Inc., to implement the Draft Plan of Subdivision SP- 2012 -02 and to permit the development of 23 townhouse units on a common element condominium road, be endorsed as outlined in Appendix III to Report Number PLN 16 -13, and that staff be authorized to finalize and forward an implementing Zoning By -law Amendment to .Council for enactment. Executive Summary: The subject lands are located at the southwest corner of Altona Road and Finch Avenue (see Location Map, Attachment #1). Nanak Creations Inc. has submitted applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By -law Amendment to implement a Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Draft Plan of Condominium for 23 townhouse units accessed by a private road (see Applicant's Revised Plan, Attachment #3). Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 2 The proposal is consistent with policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and the Durham Regional Official Plan, by providing for intensification through a compact form of development within the built up area and promoting an efficient use of land. The proposed development establishes a higher intensity use at the neighbourhood centre of Finch Avenue and Altona Road through appropriate massing and architectural detailing. The proposed development establishes a strong relationship with the intersection, which is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Official Plan and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Through the protection of environmental lands within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, the amount of developable land has been reduced. In order to reach the population targets for this neighbourhood, it is appropriate to increase the density on the subject lands. The recommended Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendments provide for appropriate density and performance standards for this vacant parcel of land. Required common elements for the condominium plan have been identified and will be secured. Further, site plan approval will address remaining design and technical matters. Accordingly, staff recommends that Official Plan Amendment Application 12 -002 /P and Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 05/12 be approved, and that City Council endorse Draft Plan of Subdivision SP- 2012 -02. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendations of this report. 1. Background 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Finch Avenue and Altona Road (see Location Map, Attachment #1). The subject lands are comprised of two properties having a combined land area of approximately 0.5 of a hectare, with approximately 52 metres of frontage along Finch Avenue and approximately 63 metres of frontage along Altona Road. The site is presently vacant with no significant vegetation. Surrounding the subject lands to the south and west is an established medium density residential subdivision of semi - detached dwellings fronting onto Shadow Place. To the north, across Finch Avenue, are vacant agricultural lands, and to the east, across Altona Road, is a vacant commercial property. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 3 1.2 Applicant's Original Proposal The applicant's original proposal was to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By -law to implement a draft plan of subdivision and a common element condominium for 24 townhouse units accessed by a private road. The original plan also included a total of 7 visitor parking spaces and a parkette at the south end of the property (see Applicant's Original Plan, Attachment #2). 1.3 Applicant's Revised Proposal Based on comments from the City and area residents, the applicant submitted a revised plan to deal with the overall layout and urban design for the site (see Applicant's Revised Plan, Attachment #3). The revised proposal includes the following changes: • a reduction in the total number of townhouses from 24 units to 23 units • a 315 square metre parkette is now the central focus of the development • a total of 7 visitor parking spaces are centrally located around the perimeter of the parkette • the vehicular entrance from Finch Avenue has been slightly shifted to the east to allow for a row of townhouse units along the westerly perimeter of the site; and • . a pedestrian connection from the development to Altona Road has been added The draft plan of subdivision proposes the creation of 3 blocks to accommodate a 3.0 metre wide road widening block along Finch Avenue; a 0.41 hectare residential development block for 23 townhouse units and a 0.3 metre reserve block along Altona Road and Finch Avenue. The draft plan of condominium proposes a common element condominium for private internal roads, visitor parking spaces, parkette, mailboxes, internal sidewalks and a water meter room. 2. Comments Received 2.1 Public comments from the October 1, 2012 Public Information Meeting, the April 9, 2013 Public Open House and written submissions At the October 1, 2012 Public Information Meeting, approximately seven residents /landowners attended the meeting to voice their concerns with respect to the original development proposal, and one letter of objection was received. The majority of their concerns related to whether the proposal was in keeping with the existing character of the neighbourhood. Specifically, the concerns identified are as follows: • compatibility of the proposed 3- storey dwellings with the existing 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along Shadow Place • insufficient supply of on -site visitor parking within the development site • increased traffic impacts; and • construction noise Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 4 The City Development Department received a petition, dated January 10, 2013, signed by 15 households along Shadow Place, Mapleview Court and Stonepath Circle stating that they do not want any development to occur on the subject lands. On April 9, 2013, a Public Open House was held to inform area residents about the revised development proposal. Three area residents attended the meeting and provided written comments. In addition to concerns raised at the Public Information Meeting, concerns regarding stormwater management and drainage were also identified. 2.2 City Departments & Agency Comments Region of Durham • the Region of Durham Planning Department has advised that the proposal complies with the Living , Areas designation policies of the Region Official Plan • in accordance with Regional By -law 11 -2000, the Official Plan Amendment application is exempt from Regional approval • the submitted Noise Feasibility Study indicated sound levels will exceed Ministry of Environment guidelines and recommends upgraded construction requirements and warning clauses be included in all purchase and sale agreements • the updated Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, dated February 2013, indicates that there are no potential site contamination concerns on the subject lands • a Stage 1 -2 Archaeological Assessment has been received and shall be submitted to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for their review and clearance • sanitary and water services are available to the subject lands • the Region has no objection to draft approval of the proposed Plans of Subdivision and Condominium, and have sent conditions of approval Toronto and . the TRCA is satisfied with the submitted Flood Study Region Report and revised Functional Storm Servicing Report Conservation • the TRCA has no objection to the Official Plan and Authority Zoning By -law amendments • the TRCA has no objections to the draft plan approval of the Plans of Subdivision and Condominium, and have sent conditions of approval Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc.

The PPS states that healthy, livable and safe communities are to be sustained, including, among other matters, promoting efficient and cost - effective development to minimize land consumption and servicing cost. Land use patterns within settlement areas are to be based on densities and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources; and demonstrate a compact form and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public service facilities. The proposal provides for intensification within the built up area and promotes efficient development and land use. Furthermore, the development provides for an additional housing type within the neighbourhood for the benefit of existing and future residents. The proposal conforms to the provisions of the PPS. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe ( "Growth Plan ") provides a framework for managing growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe including direction for where and how to grow. The subject lands are located within the "Built -Up Area" of Pickering, as defined in the Growth Plan. The development provides for a compact form of development that satisfies the Plan's intensification objectives. The subject lands are within the "Living Areas" designation of the Durham Regional Official Plan. Within the "Living Areas" designation lands are encouraged to be developed in a compact form through higher density uses. Policy 813.1.4 also encourages local official plans to maximize permissible densities on vacant lands within urban areas to create and maintain an attractive living environment. The proposed development complies with the applicable policies of Durham Region Official Plan. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 6 3.2 Redesignating the subject lands to "Urban Residential Area — Medium Density Areas" supports the goals and objectives of the Pickering Official Plan The subject lands are currently designated "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" in the Pickering Official Plan, which permits up to 30 units per hectare. The applicant is proposing 23 townhouse units on approximately 0.41 hectares of land, which equates to 56 units per net hectare. To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant has submitted an- application for Official Plan Amendment to redesignate the subject lands to "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas ", which permits residential uses with a density range of over 30 units per net hectare and up to and including 80 units per net hectare. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is appropriate and represents good planning. The proposal is consistent with section 6.2 (c) of the City's Official Plan, which states that City Council encourages the provision of an adequate range of housing and tenure types to be available and integrated within the City's neighbourhoods to meet the needs of existing and future populations. Furthermore, the proposal is also consistent with section 6.5 of the Official Plan which states that City Council shall maximize the efficiency of existing infrastructure and minimize the consumption of vacant land by encouraging infill development of vacant or underutilized blocks of land. The development as proposed reflects a compact urban form that makes efficient use of resources and infrastructure. The development also provides for an alternative housing form and tenure within the neighbourhood which is sensitive to and in scale with the existing neighbourhood. The proposed housing type and built form will help create a safe, attractive and pedestrian friendly environment along Finch Avenue and Altona Road. Staff recommend that Official Plan Amendment Application 12- 002 /P, submitted by Nanak Creations Inc., to redesignate the subject lands from "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" to "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas ", be approved, as outlined in Appendix I to Report Number PLN 16 -13. 3.3 The proposal is consistent with the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Policies and Development Guidelines The subject lands are located within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood for which Development Guidelines have been established and adopted by Council. This application has been reviewed against both the neighbourhood policies and the Development Guidelines for the Rouge Park neighbourhood. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inca Page 7 The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines set out population targets for this neighbourhood based solely on sanitary sewer capacity. Due to additional lands required to protect key environmentally sensitive features within this neighbourhood, the amount of developable lands contemplated within this neighbourhood have been decreased. In order for the City to meet population targets for the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, an increase in density would be appropriate, where acceptable, on remaining developable lands. In 2000, an Official Plan Amendment was approved to facilitate the residential subdivision along Shadow Place that redesignated the lands from a "Low Density Area" to a "Medium Density Area" to permit the existing development of semi - detached dwellings in order to assist in reaching the population targets in this neighbourhood. The proposed development is consistent with the design goals and objectives of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. The Development Guidelines promote the lands around the intersection of Finch Avenue and Altona Road as the "Centre" of the neighbourhood. To support this focus, a higher concentration of activity and people is desirable within the area (relative to the rest of the neighbourhood). The proposed development supports the "neighbourhood focus" at the intersection through the orientation of the buildings fronting Finch Avenue and Altona Road. The development proposes appropriate massing and architectural detailing, which help establish a strong relationship with the intersection. The 3- storey townhouse units comply with the Guidelines which state that building heights preferably range from 3 to 5 stories to provide for a suitable visual focus within the Centre. The development of the subject lands with medium density residential uses will assist in achieving Council's objectives of establishing a neighbourhood focus at the intersection of Finch Avenue and Altona Road and meeting the population targets for the area. The proposal satisfies the direction of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. 3.4 Traffic issues are not anticipated as a result of this development Residents raised concerns with respect to the potential for higher traffic levels along Finch Avenue and Altona Road as a result of this residential development. Finch Avenue is a two -lane arterial roadway. Finch Avenue is under the Region's jurisdiction east of Altona Road, and is under the City's jurisdiction west of Altona Road. Altona Road is a two -lane arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Durham Region. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 8 The applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study, prepared by Trans -Plan Inc., dated January 14, 2013 in support of the proposal. The study examined the associated traffic impacts on adjoining roads and the intersection of Altona Road and Finch Avenue. The 23 unit townhouse development is expected to generate approximately 16 and 19 two -way trips in the weekday AM and PM peak hours, respectively. The Finch Avenue and Altona Road intersection is expected to operate at a good level of service with minimal delay and with reserve capacity in the peak hours under future total traffic conditions. No additional roadway improvements or changes to the existing intersection signal timing are required to accommodate additional traffic generated by the proposed development. No traffic concerns are anticipated as a result of this development. 3.5 Sufficient visitor parking is available to serve the proposed development Another concern raised by area residents included insufficient visitor parking spaces provided to support the residential development. There will be sufficient residential parking with each dwelling unit accommodating two vehicles, one within a garage and one on the driveway. Pickering's standard visitor parking ratio for a residential condominium development is 0.25 parking spaces per dwelling unit. Based on this ratio, the applicant is required to provide a total of 6 visitor parking spaces, whereas the proposal provides for a total of 7 visitor parking spaces. Through the site plan approval process, staff will review whether there is opportunities to provide for additional visitor parking spaces. 3.6 Proposed three storey townhouses are compatible with existing neighbourhood development Residents expressed concerns regarding the compatibility of the proposed 3- storey townhouse units with the existing 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along Shadow Place and potential impact on their privacy from the proposed development. The proposed 3- storey townhouse units will have an overall building height of approximately 10.0 metres, as measured from the mid -point of the roof to the established grade. The abutting 2- storey semi - detached dwellings along . Shadow Place have a building height of approximately 8.0 metres. In response to the concern regarding the compatibility of the proposed building height, the applicant has provided a minimum rear yard depth of 7.0 metres and a minimum side yard width of 3.0 metres to the existing residential development to the west and to the south, respectively. Report PLN 16 -13 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. June 10, 2013 Page 9 In addition, the applicant has prepared a shadow study which provides a visual model of the impact of shadow cast by the proposed development at various recommended times and dates throughout the year. An accepted practice by municipalities is to maximize the use of private residential outdoor amenity spaces during the spring, summer and fall seasons. In order to accomplish this, shadow impacts should not exceed one hour in duration on private amenity areas, such as a backyard. This test is met if there are no new shadow impacts on adjacent development for more than two consecutive test times. The shadow study submitted by Nanak- Creations Inc. meets the minimum test as the shadow cast by the development does not exceed one consecutive test time. The shadow analysis demonstrates that the height of the proposed dwellings is acceptable and the proposed rear yard setbacks are of sufficient depth to prevent any major shadowing concerns for the residents along Shadow Place. The proposed townhouses along the western side of the subject lands, abutting Shadow Place, will not have decks attached to the second storey of the townhouses. The proposed zoning by -law amendment will include a provision ensuring that these properties will be limited to decks attached to the ground floor of the units. The restriction of decks to the main floor of the townhouses will ensure that privacy is maintained in the rear yard of the properties abutting the proposed development. The western and southern perimeter of the residential block is currently fenced to City standards. Conditions of Approval recommended in Appendix II to this Report include provisions to ensure that fencing is maintained in an acceptable condition around the subject lands during construction, and if damaged during construction the fence will be repaired /replaced to the City's satisfaction. Construction noise from the proposed development will also be dealt with through the Construction Management Plan, which requires compliance with the City's Noise By -law. Due to the findings of the shadow study and the restriction of decks to the ground floor of the townhouses, it is staff's opinion that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. 3.7 Drainage issues will be improved through the proposed development Another concern that was raised by the area residents was regarding the current drainage issues within the rear yards of the residents abutting the south end of the subject property. Some residents along Shadow Place backing onto the subject lands are currently experiencing drainage issues as the undeveloped lands appear to be draining onto these properties. The subject lands are presently undeveloped. The runoff from the lands through the site is generally from the north to the south, which currently impacts the residents along Shadow Place to the south of the subject property. Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 10 The development of the site will direct storm flow to the existing storm sewer on Altona Road and the existing catchbasin located in the southwest corner of the site. The development of the subject lands will manage the runoff generated on these lands by draining out to Altona Road, thereby improving the current situation of those residents along Shadow Place abutting the development. Engineering staff are generally satisfied with the recommendations of the revised Functional Servicing Report. 3.8 Sustainability Implications have been reviewed The applicant has submitted a review of the proposed development based on the City's Sustainable Development Guidelines. Staff's review of the application against the City's Draft Sustainable Development Guidelines resulted in a score below the Level 1 standard. Given the size of the infill development, there is limited opportunities to achieve Level 1. However, the proposed development does incorporate many of the elements of the Guidelines including: • infill development on a vacant site • efficient use of existing infrastructure with higher density uses and compact built form • maximizing overall site sodding and vegetation areas • committing to the use of materials, such as permeable pavers, to achieve a 25% increase in permeability relative to conventional methods • committing to use native plant material for at least 75% of public landscaped area In addition, there will be an opportunity to improve this rating as additional sustainability measures become available through the site plan approval process and detailed building design. 3.9 All Technical Matters will be addressed as Conditions of Subdivision and Site Plan Approval Process In order to ensure all technical matters are appropriately addressed by the applicant, City requirements will be imposed as conditions of approval for the subdivision application. These requirements will address matters such as, but not limited to: • drainage and grading • site servicing • stormwater management plan • noise attenuation • cash -in -lieu of parkland • contributions towards stormwater management • requirements for Construction Management Plan Report PLN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Subject: Nanak Creations Inc. Page 11 Detail design issues will be dealt with through the site plan approval process. A site plan application is yet to be submitted. These requirements will address matters such as, but not limited to: • fagade designs and upgrades, including the dwellings flanking Altona Road and Finch Avenue • landscaping • visitor parking • emergency vehicle access No further reports are anticipated to be brought before Council if the applications are approved. 3.10 Common Element Condominium application The applicant has submitted an application for Draft Plan of Condominium proposing a common element condominium for private internal roads, visitor parking spaces, parkette, mailboxes, pedestrian walkway to Altona Road and water meter room. A common element condominium refers to a development where each dwelling unit is individually owned (freehold ownership), and where amenities or physical features are collectively owned by the unit owners as tenants in common. It is anticipated that a future common element condominium corporation will be established to permit a community of individually owned homes with maintenance of the development's joint services, amenities and physical features provided through a common element condominium corporation. In accordance with Council policy and Delegation By -law 5391/01, the Director, City Development has the authority to grant draft plan approval for plans of condominium; therefore no further approvals are required from City Council. 3.11 Zoning By -law to be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment The subject lands are currently zoned "A" — Rural Agricultural. The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands with an urban residential zone that would permit a multi -unit residential townhouse development consisting of a maximum of 23 units. To ensure compatibility with the surrounding community and an appropriate design, the zoning by -law will include performance standards for maximum building height, minimum and maximum yard setbacks, and minimum number of residential and visitor parking spaces. It is recommended that a draft by -law be prepared and forwarded to Council for enactment. 3.12 Applicant's Comments The applicant has been advised of the recommendation of this report.

By -law read this day of 12013. p,PgFT David Ryan, Mayor r F Debbie Shields, City Clerk Amendment 24 to the Pickering Official Plan Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to revise Schedule I - Land Use Structure of the Pickering Official Plan, to permit medium density residential development on the subject lands. Location: The amendment to Schedule I would affect lands known as Part of Lot 1, Plan 388 and Block 39, Plan 40M -2086. Basis: Through the review of Official Plan Amendment Application 12- 002 /P, Zoning By -law Amendment Application A 5/12, Draft Plan of Subdivision SP- 2012 -02, and Draft Plan of Condominium CP- 2012 -03, an amendment to the Pickering Official Plan has been determined to be appropriate. The proposed development establishes a higher intensity use at the neighbourhood centre of Finch Avenue and Altona Road through appropriate massing and architectural detailing. The proposed development establishes a strong relationship with the intersection, which is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Official Plan and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines. Through the protection of environmental lands within the Rouge Park Neighbourhood, the amount of developable land has been reduced. In order to reach the population targets for this neighbourhood, it is appropriate to increase the density on the subject lands. In 2000, Council adopted OPA No. 5 to redesignate the lands along Shadow Place to permit medium density residential development. Actual Amendment: The City of Pickering Official Plan is hereby amended by: 1. Amending Schedule /—Land Use Schedule by replacing the "Urban Residential Areas — Low Density Areas" designation with "Urban Residential Areas — Medium Density Areas" designation, as illustrated on Schedule `A' attached to this amendment; Implementation: The provisions set forth in the City of Pickering Official Plan, as amended, regarding the implementation of the Plan shall apply in regard to this Amendment.

Report to Executive Committee PICKERING Report Number: FIN 13 -13 Date: June 10, 2013 From: Paul Bigioni Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor Subject: 2012 Year End Audit Recommendation: 1. That Report FIN 13 -13 of the Director, Corporate Services & Solicitor be received; 2. That the Year -end Communication Report as submitted by Deloitte LLP ( Deloitte) be received for information; and, 3. That the 2012 draft Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the City of Pickering be approved. Executive Summary: Attached to this report is the auditor's Year -end Communication Report and the draft Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Again this year, the auditor has provided an unmodified audit report on the financial statements which means that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City and its operations, assets and cash flows in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Staff are pleased to advise that the auditor did not identify any deficiencies in the audit to report to Council and therefore, again this year, the auditor has not issued a management letter. Financial Implications: The financial results for 2012 were once again favourable in all respects. However these results, as in prior years, are primarily a result of one -time occurrences and cannot be relied upon to continue on an annual basis into the future. In summary, the Balance Sheet continues to improve with total assets increasing from $358.2 million to $365.7 million while liabilities increased from $79.7 million to $84.1 million resulting in a net overall improvement of $3.1 million. Expenditures were well within budget. Although revenue is under budget, this is primarily a timing difference between budget approval and receipt or recognition of the funds which is explained in greater detail in the discussion section. Obligatory Reserve Funds which are provided for specific purpose under legislation and reported as deferred revenue, increased by almost $4.5 million to $47.6 million primarily due to the Report FIN 13 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 2 net change with development charges ($3.4M) and Federal Gas Tax funds ($1.0M). Total discretionary, at Council's direction, Reserves and Reserve Funds decreased by $1 million to $32.6 million almost all of which has been set aside for specific purposes by Council. Long term liabilities decreased by $1.4 million however internal borrowings from the Obligatory Reserve Funds increased by $2.3 million. Overall the City's financial position is healthy. A strong balance sheet provides assurances to the City's lenders, bankers, ratepayers and businesses that the City is able to meet its financial commitments. Discussion: The audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been completed. The auditor's Year -end Communication Report is included as Attachment 1. This report, prepared by Deloitte, summarizes the results of the December 31, 2012 audit and comments on significant matters regarding the audit or other matters they may believe to be of interest to Council. The independence letter in Appendix 1 confirms that Deloitte is independent with respect to the City. Appendix 2 illustrates the draft management representation letter which is provided by the City to the auditors. This letter indicates that the Financial Statements are management's responsibility and that management has provided and disclosed all necessary information to ensure the Financial Statements are not materially misstated. This letter will be signed by the Chief Administrative Officer and the Treasurer upon approval of the financial statements by Council. Appendix 3 provides a summary of certain items Deloitte is required to communicate to the Executive Committee. During the course of the audit, the auditors may find misstatements that may or may not be adjusted due to materiality. For 2012 there were two items in respect of which adjustments were not made, as they would not have a material effect on the financial statements. Further explanation of these unadjusted amounts is provided on page 3 of the auditor's Year -end Communication Report. The scope of the audit does not include an in -depth evaluation of all systems or internal controls; however, the auditors may report on matters that come to their attention during the course of their review. No matters came to their attention to report in a management letter and as such one has not been issued. The draft Audited Consolidated Financial Statements are included as Attachment 2. These statements are the responsibility of management and have been prepared by City accounting staff under the direction of the (Acting) Division Head, Finance & Treasurer. The auditors are responsible to express an opinion on these Consolidated Financial Statements based on their audit. An unmodified audit report has been provided. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the activities of the City of Pickering Public Library Board. The City's investment in Veridian Corporation is Report FIN 13 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 3 accounted for on a modified equity basis, which means the City includes its share of Veridian's income or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting as prescribed by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB), which includes reporting tangible capital assets. Tangible capital assets, such as land, building, infrastructure and equipment are capitalized (recorded) at cost on the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) and amortized (depreciated, except for land) over their estimated useful lives in current operating expenses. The Statement of Financial Position includes tangible capital assets under the non - financial asset section and shows Accumulated Surplus. Statement of Financial Position Financial assets are those assets which could provide resources to discharge existing liabilities or finance future operations. The financial assets increased by approximately $2.8 million. This increase was offset by an increase in liabilities of approximately $4.4 million which led to a decrease in net financial assets of $1.6 million over the prior year. The increase in financial assets is primarily due to an increase of $2.3 million in the value of the City's Investment in Veridian Corporation. This represents the City's share of Veridian Corporation's net earnings ($4.2M) net of dividends paid to the City ($1.9M) during the year. The main contributor to the increase in liabilities is an increase in Deferred Revenue of $4.9 million. The deferred revenue balance consists primarily of the Obligatory Reserve Fund amounts such as Development Charges, Parkland Contributions, Federal Gas Tax and Third Party /Developer's Contributions. The Federal Gas Tax installment received in November and the overall increase in Development Charges collected has contributed to the increase in deferred revenue. Non - financial assets includes tangible capital assets which is the net book value (cost less accumulated amortization) of the City owned assets including land, buildings, roads, bridges & sidewalks infrastructure, storm sewer infrastructure, furniture and fixtures, vehicles and equipment. Non - financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. Statement of Operations Revenue reported includes both operating and capital. Therefore, variances between budget to actual may arise due to timing of approval in the capital budget and actual receipt of funds /recognition of revenue. This is clearly illustrated with the Government grants and fees revenue item. The budget amount includes a $6 million Federal and Provincial grant expected for the Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance project. However, Report FIN 13 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 4 the funding agreement was signed in early 2013 with the grant funds being received at the end of March 2013. Therefore, the actual revenue is much lower than the budget. The Sale of land revenue item is another example. The City is expected to be selling land in the Duffin Heights area over the next five years to fund related development costs within the same area. At December 31St, no land had been sold as the City was still finalizing its disposition strategy. That is why actual revenues from land sales show zero on the Statement of Operations. The capital budget expenditures do not show on the Statement of Operations as capital expenditures. For those expenditures that meet the definition of a tangible capital asset (TCA), the cost is reported on the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet). Only a portion of the asset's cost is included as an amortization expense each year over the life of the asset in the operating expenses reported on the Statement of Operations. The amortization expense is included in operating expenses for the asset's respective functional category. For example, amortization on a fire truck is included under the Protection to Persons and Property category. Capital budget expenditures that do not meet the TCA definition are included as operating expenses under the appropriate functional category. The budget figures reported need to reflect the change in reporting for capital budget expenditures to be PSAB compliant. Note 17 of the City's consolidated financial statements reflects the changes made to the 2012 Council approved budget to put it on a basis consistent with the full accrual basis of accounting which incorporates tangible capital asset reporting. Of the 2012 budgeted capital expenditures, a total of $1.315 million were not deemed tangible capital assets and were included in the operating expenses. Actual expenses are under budget in almost all functional areas. This illustrates City staff's commitment to controlling expenditures. There is not one specific area that stands out as to contributing to the overall underage. It is reflected throughout the various cost centres. Accumulated Surplus The components that make up the Accumulated Surplus are disclosed in Note 11 of the City's consolidated financial statements and are summarized below. It must be emphasized that these amounts are not surplus funds in the traditional sense. The accumulated surplus balance essentially represents the difference between assets and liabilities of the City. What primarily contributes to this balance are the tangible capital assets of approximately $192.6 million and the City's equity in Veridian Corporation of approximately $72.8 million. The accumulated surplus is comprised of the following: Operating fund $ 125,170 Capital fund 8,645,992 Report FIN 13 -13 Reserves and reserve funds Equity in Veridian Corporation Tangible capital assets Post employment benefits liability WSIB benefit liabilities Internal loans Net long -term liabilities Attachments: June 10, 2013 Page 5 32,610,667 72,835,384 192,638,717 (3,473,600) (907,759) (3,113,545) (17, 775, 020) $281,586,006 1.

The results of our audit work on these areas are set out below: ZM3� Revenue/ Revenue recognition of . Substantive testing to deferred grants and determine if restricted revenue contributions contributions (i.e. development charges, gas tax, etc.) and government • Satisfactory transfers have been recognized as revenue in the appropriate period Accounting Estimates require estimates management .Obtain documentation on judgments (i.e. management's controls mana g allowance for over the development of significant property tax accounting estimates for appeals, contingent any significant liabilities, estimated management estimates accrued liabilities, etc.) and assess risk • Focused review of calculations and support . Satisfactory • Discussions with management • Analytic review of related accounts • Assess outcome of retrospective review of estimates from prior years Management override of controls is a presumed area of risk in any financial statement audit due to management's ability to directly or indirectly override controls that otherwise appear to be operating effectively. We address this risk through testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments made in the preparation of financial statements. We look to the business rationale for significant transactions that are outside the normal course of business and review accounting estimates for bias. In addition, experienced Deloitte personnel were assigned to review these areas and professional skepticism was maintained throughout the audit. 0 Deloitte LLP and affiliated entities. 2012 Year -end communication — The Corporation of the City of Pickering 4 Significant accounting practices Significant accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the City's financial position and financial performance.

In our judgment, the significant accounting practices, selected and applied by management are, in all material respects, acceptable under GAAP and are appropriate to the particular circumstances of the City. Management judgment and accounting estimates In our judgment, the significant accounting estimates made by management are, in all material respects, free of possible management bias and of material misstatement. The disclosure in the financial statements around estimation uncertainty is in accordance with Canadian GAAP and is appropriate to the particular circumstances of the City.

Page 6 FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY City of Pickering Public Library Board Notes to the financial statements December 31, 2012 1. Significant accounting policies The financial statements of the City of Pickering Public Library Board (the "Library oard ") are the representations of management prepared in accordance with Canadian publics ctor accounting standards established by the Public Sector Accounting Board ( "PSAB ") of the anadian Institute Chartered Accountants. Significant accounting policies adopted by the Library Board are as follow Basis of accounting (a) Accrual basis of accounting Revenues and expenses are reported on the accrual basis accounting. The basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they are earned and le; expen s are recognized, as they are incurred and measurable as a result of the rece' t of goods ands ices and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. (b) Non - financial assets (i) Tangible capital assets 11�t Tangible capital assets are recorded at c st less accumulat d amortization. Cost includes all amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, devel ment or betterment of the asset. The cost of the tangible capital asset ' amortized on a raight -line basis over the estimated useful life as follows: Machinery & equipment Ito 25 ye s Information technology hardw e y ars Library collection material to 7 ears Furniture and fixtures o years One -half of the aZincluding ortization is cha ed in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal. Other major ass the Libr buildings are owned by the City and are not reflected in these financial s . (ii) Contribution /c na n Tangible c vital asse the date f receipt, and (iii) Intan ' le assets Int gible assets are (c) Pos em to ment bene its (d) I as contributions or donations are recorded at their fair value at value is also recorded as revenue. recognized as assets in the financial statements. The s alue o the cost of providing employees with future benefits programs is recognized as mp es a rn t se entitlements through service. Any actuarial gains or losses are amortized on a straigh ' b is over the average remaining service period (ARSP) of employees. The actuary estimated the RSP to be 14 years. The pre aration of financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting stand ds requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amo nt of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fin ncial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual r sults could differ from those estimates. Balances which require significant estimates include tangible capital assets which are based on estimated useful lives and employee future benefits.

GVW Dump Truck with Snow Plow and Wing Page 2 Executive Summary: The City of Pickering currently utilizes a fleet comprised of nine 4 -ton dump trucks and three 5 -ton dump trucks to perform a wide range of road maintenance activities, including winter control. The replacement of Unit #051, a 2003 Freightliner 4 =Ton Dump Truck with single axle and plow was approved in the 2013 Roads Capital budget. Four companies were invited to participate in Quotation No. Q -22 -2013, and an advertisement was placed on the City's website. Two companies responded to the quotation. The quotation submitted by Tallman Truck Centres Ltd. meets the specifications and is recommended for approval. Financial Implications: 1.

GVW Dump Truck with Snow Plow and Wing Page 3 Project Cost under (over) approved funds by $23,691.00 The (Acting) Division Head Finance & Treasurer has updated the City's 2013 Annual Repayment Limit and certified that this debenture financing and the repayment falls within the City's Annual Repayment Limit for debentures and financial obligations, and therefore, Ontario Municipal Board approval is not required prior to City Council's authorization. Discussion: The purchase of One New 41,000 LB. GVW Dump Truck with Snow Plow and Wing was identified and approved by Council in the 2013 Roads Capital Budget. Utilizing existing specifications from previous purchases, Supply & Services invited four companies to participate, and an advertisement was placed on the City's website. Two bidders responded and have submitted a quotation for this project. The low quotation submitted by Harper Truck Centre Inc. did not meet the minimum specification for set forward axle required by the City. This would have a detrimental effect on vehicle performance during heavy use such as winter control. Based upon these facts, as well as a careful examination of all quotations received by Supply & Services, the Engineering & Public Works Department recommends acceptance of the quotation submitted by Tallman Truck Centres Limited, in the amount of $211,300.00 (HST included) and that the total net purchase cost of $191,309.00 be approved.

David Ryan, Mayor Debbie Shields, City Clerk From: Paul Bigioni Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor Report to Executive Committee Report Number: FIN 14 -13 Date: June 10, 2013 Subject: Section 357/358 of the Municipal Act —Adjustment to Taxes Recommendation: That Report FIN 14 -13 of the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor be received; 2. That the write -offs of taxes as provided under Section 357/358 of the Municipal Act, 2001 be approved, and, 3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary action to give effect hereto. Executive Summary: Not Applicable Financial Implications: If approved, the write -off of taxes as referred to in Attachment 1 of this report, represents a gross cost of $90,961.29, with a net cost to the City of approximately $24,975.24, the balance being charged back to the Region of Durham and the School Boards. Pickering's share of the costs will be charged to the 2013 Current Budget allocation under General Government — Provision for Uncollectable Taxes. The 2013 budget provision is $286,359.00, and $152,218.74 (including the above) has been spent to date. Discussion: The Municipal Act provides the Treasurer with various tax tools regarding the administration and collection of property taxes. Under the provisions of Section 357 of the Municipal Act, reduction of taxes due to fire, demolition, exemption, assessment change or error is allowed. Change in realty tax class can translate into lower property taxes if the property went from industrial to commercial tax class or commercial to residential tax class. Demolitions, and other physical changes to a property, such as filling in a swimming pool, or damage caused by fire or flooding, result in a reduction in assessment and a corresponding reduction in property taxes. Five of the properties referred to in Attachment 1 reflecting the comment "Ceased to be liable for tax at rate it was taxed" have had their assessment class revised to a class with a lower tax rate. Report FIN 14 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 2 Section 358 of the Municipal Act, allows the taxpayer to have their assessment revised by MPAC where they believe that they have been overcharged due to a gross or manifest clerical error on the part of MPAC. They are allowed to seek reassessment of the current year, plus two prior years in which the application is made. This section of the Act allows for the reduction of taxes due to such errors, once confirmed by the Regional Assessment Office of MPAC. One of the properties referred to in Attachment 1 reflects the comment "Gross or Manifest Clerical Error (by MPAC)." This property was assessed with incorrect acreage information, and this report will adjust the related accounting transactions to reflect the correct assessments for all eligible years. The purpose of Sections 357/358 is to allow the municipality and MPAC to quickly rectify assessment classification changes, and prior year's errors quickly without having the property owner go through the formal assessment review process.

That effective July 1, 2013 as provided for in Section 16 of By -law 6978/09, the Development Charges referred to in Sections 6 and 11 of that By -law be increased by 0.8 percent; and, 3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be given authority to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: The Development Charges Act 1997 and Ontario Regulation 82198 and By -law 6978/09 provide for an annual adjustment to the City's development charges based on the Non - residential Building Construction Price Index in order to keep development charges revenues current with construction costs. The Non - residential Building Construction Price Index (CPI) for the current indexing year is 0.8 %. Adoption of the recommendations of this report will put into effect the higher rates for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Financial Implications: Increasing the development charges based on an increase in the CPI will assist in keeping the revenues generated in line with current costs. The residential development charges for single and semi detached units will increase by approximately $81. Other residential charges will increase similarly, and the commercial /industrial charge will increase by approximately $0.03 per square foot or $0.35 per square metre based on an increase of 0.8 %. Discussion: As provided for in Ontario Reg. 82198 and in the City's By -law 6978/09, each year the development charges charged by the City for all types of development may be indexed without amending the By -law. Adoption of the recommendations contained in this report will allow that increase to take effect July 1, Report FIN 15 -13 Subject: Development Charges- Annual Indexing June 10, 2013 Page 2 2013 thereby assisting in keeping revenues in line with the costs that development charges fund. Statistics Canada indicates the increase in the construction price statistics for the most recently available annual period ending March 31, 2013 of 0.8 percent for Non- residential Building Construction Price Index (an indicator of our costs of construction) for the Toronto area. The change is reflected in the table attached. . Upon Council's approval of the recommendations contained in this report, the development charges brochure will be updated to reflect the approved rates. The updated brochure will be posted on the City's website and made available a_ t various counters throughout the Civic Complex. Attachments: 1.

That the City of Pickering renew its property, liability and other insurance policies through the Frank Cowan Company for the period July 1, 2013 to January 1, 2014 in the amount of $391,913 ( plus applicable taxes) and inclusive of terms and conditions acceptable to the (Acting) Division Head Finance & Treasurer; 3. That L.V. Walker & Associates be confirmed as the City's Adjuster of Record for property, liability and other insurance and related matters, 4. That the (Acting) Division Head, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to settle any claims including any adjusting and legal fees, where it is in the City's interest to do so; 5. That the (Acting) Division Head, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to purchase additional insurance, make changes to deductibles and existing coverages, and alter terms and conditions as becomes desirable or necessary in order to limit potential liability exposure and to protect the assets of the City and its elected officials and staff; and, 6. That the appropriate officials be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: The City's insurance program continues to operate successfully and the above. Recommendations provide for a renewal of the policies essentially on the same or improved terms and conditions as in past years, with coverage for the Library, its Board and its employees. Financial Implications: The insurance premium has been provided for in the approved 2013 budget and the renewal premium cost is within the 2013 budgeted amount. The premium increase is approximately 6.32% over last year adjusted for the six month renewal period. Report FIN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 2 Discussion: Each year on July 1, the City's general liability and property insurance policies come up for renewal. As approved by Council at the time of the 1998 renewal, the Treasurer undertook an extensive review of all aspects of the City's insurance program. The City of Pickering embarked on a Risk Management Program, the initial phase of which involved negotiating renewing premiums with the City's broker. The result of the negotiations was a decrease of approximately $75,000 or 20 percent, in the premiums from those of the prior year. The savings were transferred to the Self Insurance Reserve. In our opinion, this program has served the City well, and today there is almost $1 million in this reserve. Recommendation 5 provides the (Acting) Division Head & Treasurer with the authority to continue to review and adjust insurance coverages where appropriate during the year to reflect business requirements and current market and business environment conditions. Change in Deductible Limits Every year, staff review the proposed insurance policy terms and deductible limits to ensure that the City is effectively managing its premium cost in relation to its claims history. The City's property (building) claims experience for the last five years is presented below: Property Claims Experience Year Number I Incurred Amount ($1 2008 -2409 _ 1 12,988 2009 -2010 0 0 2010 =2011 p 2011 -2012 1 2,500 20'12 -2013 .- � - 0 - 0 Total 12 15,488 As the above table indicates, the frequency of claims and corresponding loss has been relatively low. Based on the above information, the property deductible is increasing from $10,000 to $100,000 resulting in full year premium savings of $22,664. Insurance Renewal Period — Six Months The current insurance renewal term is for six months and expires on January 1, 2014 in contrast to the City's traditional twelve month renewal period. City staff plan on issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for its insurance program during the next few months. Staff are now conducting interviews with insurance consultants and the consultant will be used to prepare and evaluate the RFP to ensure that the City has the best possible insurance program within its budget. In addition, the insurance consultant will review the various insurance policy terms, coverages, exclusions and conditions submitted by the bidders to ensure that the City is adequately protected. This is a crucial step in the Report FIN 16 -13 June 10, 2013 Page 3 RFP process due to the fact that the true value if of the insurance program is reflected in the policy terms and conditions. The preliminary discussions with the insurance consultants recommend having an extended "RFP" period to ensure that the City can receive as many proposals as possible. An indirect benefit of the six month renewal is the fact that the insurance renewal period will now reflect the City's fiscal year and therefore, the budgeted amount for insurance will now be based on actual costs in contrast to professional estimates. Service to our Residents Regrettably, insurance claims or incidents do occur. A key strategic advantage of the City's insurance and risk management program is that every claim is processed with a customer service attitude. After a claim or incident is received, City staff quickly contact (within 24 hours) the claimant, to advise them that the City has received the claim and to assure them that the claim is being investigated by the City's Insurance Adjuster. The City's Insurance Adjuster has many years of local municipal insurance experience, which the City uses as an asset to investigate and settle claims. The City's Insurance Adjuster is familiar with the City and its municipal infrastructure and this experience has assisted in reducing claims cost due to his knowledge and /or his familiarity with the City, its policies and procedures. The Insurance Adjuster's service standard is to make contact with the claimant within two business days. Sometimes, the claimants may not completely agree with the outcome and City staff may review the claim and /or intervene to work towards a solution. The strategic advantage of the "local service delivery model" is that claims are handled quickly, professionally and with a customer service perspective. In addition, the current "local" service delivery model allows City staff hands on participation in the claims process to better serve claimants who, in the majority of situations, are City residents.
