IMPACT ON THE C[TY OF PICI�RING
Thc Stage I Reporl presents U�irieen recommendations covmng a specwm oPservices, as well as
the aspects of a Stage II RepoA.
The following ia a brief comment on what the individuul recommendations mean to Pickering, as
it alates to servicc delivecy.
ROdD RITIONAWZATTON
Retionalizing the road network, as ouUinul in Appendix G and discussed in Sxtion 6.1 would
rosult in the following roads bcing trnnsferred to tha City af Pickering,
ROAD FROM TO LENGTIi 1

The only road is this group with financial wnsideration approved in the Region'e "fivayear
forecast, (2000-2004) dated April 2000, is Finch Avenue. Tticre is St50,000 in Environment
AssessmenUDesign works and S1,500,000 for phazed canswction.
� Tho Collowing roads would be transferted to the Region of Durham.
ROAD FROM TO LENGTH
Rossland Road(lhird Brock Road Pickering/Ajax Boundary 400
Concession Road RRl
RECIONAL ROAD MAfNTENANCE
The concept of Arca Municipalities providing mainlenance on Regional Roads is recammended.
Aspecis of maintenance being considercd include road surface, shoulders, drainage, shuctures,
roadside and winter control.
As the Region would atain ownership and jurisdiction over the roads lhat are subject to this
recommendation, the Region would also remain financially responsible for the maintenance
costs. The City of Pickering and the Region oC Uurhem would discuss nnd agree on the extent oC
Regional Roads that would be maintained by the City of Fickering, the timing/phasing•in of the
secvice delivery, end the cost of providing thc scrvicc.
RATIONAL/ZED DEPOT LOCATIONS
The repon recommrnds thet Pickering's Works Centre remain in operetion as a depot for the
Ciry of Pickering. The Regional Depot for Ajax and Pickering, which is located in Ajax, is
recammrnded to be rotained and the Town of Ajax operation would also work out of this
location. Thia muy result in somc Regional Scrvices for Pickering that cucrently work from this
depot being relocated. '
PROJECT DES(GNAND SUPERt�lSlONOF CONSTRUCTION
As Pickering and the Region alrcady have a cooperative arrangement on road end services
conshuction projects, thero will be very little change as a result of this recommendation. The
Ciry could design watermein and sanitary sewcrs on behalf of the Region of Durham for works
on City roads, but finencial arrangements will be made to wmpensate.
ENGINEERING DL VELOPMBNT APPLICATIONS
The recommendation is for the Area Municipaliry to take the lead role in processing engincering
developmrnt applicadons. This would result in Pickering reviewing and approving regi� nal
services within subdivisions based on establiahed guidelines and criteria. This would be done by
ihe Planning end Development Departmen�
{f'E8D CONTROL
Nsving Pickering rnforea the Weed Control Act on behalf of the Region of Dwfiam requires e
, legislative change and would be done by Municipal Iaw Enforccmenl Oflicers of lho Clerks
Divieion.
COOPBR�TTVB VEHICLE/BQUIPMBNT PURCNASINC
Thie mey allow for more compoNtive pricing, duo to volume. This would involvo thc Supply and
Services funcdon of lhe Finana Department '

LICBNCESANDPERM/TS
Pickering would bo able to takc applicadons and issuo certain pennits for Regional Roads within
Pickering, which provides a onawindow epproach to servico delivery.
SOL/D WAST6 COLLECTION
The recommendation ro transfer the responsihility of sold waste collcetion to the Regional levol
aftecta jurisdiction of the acrvice. Pickering's coilec6on is contracted out, so the impacts rolate
to contract administration, customer service, levels of service, end services provided (what ia
collected and how), all being transCerted to the Region. The concept of having one level of
govemment rapansible for all aspects of solid waste allows for future efiicirncies in the service,
and increased diversion from lendfill. Pickering ia currently working wilh t\jax and Whitby on a
Cooperative tcnder for collection prepared by the Region, which could conform to this
recommendetion if endorsed.
STANDARDIZJNC CNARCEBACRS
This recommendation would formulize and make consistent many of the inCormal arrangemrnis
across the Region wlun x�ork is done by onc municipality on behalf of another. 'I'his would
affecl Pickering's boundary agrcements for roads, as well as administration and supervision
se�vices on Capital projects, such as rond reconstcuction with Regional components.
