N. Surti, Manager, Development Review & Urban Design, appeared before the Committee to provide an overview of the City initiated joint venture for the City Centre. Through the aid of a Power Point presentation, he provided background information on the downtown Pickering vision for intensification, to be a sustainable accessible and distinct city centre for all residents. He outlined approved Official Plan amendments which authorized staff to finalize the City Centre Urban Design Guidelines and introduced new designations and policies. He outlined the current policy framework and zoning for the subject lands and stated that the Zoning By- law approved in 2017 introduced new zone categories permitting a broader range of uses as well as new development standards to regulate the size, location, massing and height of buildings. Mr. Surti also noted that during the development of the City Centre vision, a unique opportunity was presented with the closure of Sears and relocation of the theatres which offered further opportunities for the redevelopment of the City Centre. Mr. Surti concluded his presentation by providing a summary of the public comments received to date. T. Prevedel, Chief Administrative Officer, appeared before the Committee to provide background information on the proposed development noting it began two years ago and included previous Council approvals to proceed with a study to create a new landmark for Pickering.

She provided an overview of the current zoning on the lands, noting a need to create a Block Plan and stated that during the past year, multiple meetings had taken place regarding the proposed City Centre development. Ms. Gilbert stated they will be looking at impacts of the development on their property, but expressed their concerns to ensure the block is done comprehensively, so that there is access and connectivity from their property to the new development and that their tenants' rights are protected. She stated they will be submitting more formal comments to the City but that they are looking to move forward and work with the City as expeditiously as possible. George Buckles, Vice-President, Cushman & Wakefield, appeared before the Committee and provided background information on their company, noting they have worked with PTC for over 20 years and have seen numerous changes over that time period. He stated that while the closure of Sears was unfortunate, it has freed up 10 acres in which to better utilize and urbanize the Pickering Town Centre. He outlined the layout of the proposed development which would include a theater, library, double gym and senior/youth centre. He stated this was an exciting opportunity and that they would continue to work with CAPREIT to integrate their ideas into the development. Aline Revoy, 1200 The Esplanade North, Pickering, appeared before the Committee to express concerns over the proposed height of the condominium units, noting views from the Esplanade as well as Valley Farm will be affected. She questioned why the large jump in the number of storeys, noting this would not fit in with the look of the community. Barbara Cooney, 1000-1712 The Esplanade North, Pickering, appeared before the Committee noting concerns that the Consultant's report prepared by JKO Planning Services, lacked comments with respect to infrastructure, public/private transportation, education, garbage and the existing dangerous traffic conditions on Glenanna Road. She also noted that residents of existing surrounding condominiums are already penalized in regards to taxes, as they do not receive the same services as single dwellings. Ms. Cooney raised further concerns regarding the environmental impacts and lack of greenspace, reduction of the carbon footprint, and the problems with on-going construction over the next number of years which could potentially lower existing property values. 3 -3- f �� �� ! � � � � � � � � � Special Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, June 24, 2019 Council Chambers — 6:30 pm Chair: Councillor Ashe Tom Shanahan, 1525-410 Diefenbaker, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in support of progress and the redevelopment of the City Centre. He noted that progress is relentless and while it may be difficult, it needs to be professionally addressed in a respectful manner. He encouraged residents to embrace change and not to let fear restrict g rowth . Steve Gilchrist, 155-1995 Royal Road, Pickering, appeared before the Committee, in opposition to the current zoning. He discussed the benefits of retail over residential and questioned the need for a seniors centre, gym and library in such close proximity to existing services. He questioned the development charges for the proposed new buildings and widening of Glenanna Road and the costs that would be incurred for services that are not needed. Mr. Gilchrist raised further questions regarding use of the existing space in the empty Sears store at the Pickering Town Centre and whether that space could be utilized instead of building new structures. He noted that condominiums over retail would not be in the best interest of the community, and also noted commercial tax would be much higher than residential. He stated that there was a need for balance noting that this was not the best use of City lands and that it was providing a benefit to a private land owner. He urged the Committee to reject the proposal and come back with an alternate one. Patty Rowl, 1880-524 Valley Farm Road, Pickering, appeared before the Committee, noting her opposition to the proposed height of the condominium towers. She stated this would create shadowing, loss of sight lines and sunlight and questioned the need for such a drastic change in height. lan Robertson, 893 Modlin Road, Pickering, appeared before the Committee stating this development would set a precedent for all builders. He noted that consideration should be given with respect to heights, as problems can arise with wind tunnels, heating, lightning storms and high snowfalls. Robert Crowder, 1540-504 Pickering Parkway, Pickering, appeared before the Committee and stated the importance of relaying information to citizens on development impacts such as shadowing, potential costs involved with parking at new facilities, City facilities constructed on privately owned lands and play areas around the proposed new signature building to enable citizens to relay concerns to their Councillors so they can make informed decisions. C� -4- ��f Special Planning & Development `�� Committee Meeting Minutes � � � �[ � �] � � � Monday, June 24, 2019 �l �� Council Chambers — 6:30 pm Chair: Councillor Ashe Deborah Kent, 908 Lynx Avenue, Pickering, appeared before the Committee, noting a discrepancy in the map attached, which did not include the AVIVA retirement home. She questioned where residential parking would be, the height of the office tower as well as the connectivity between AVIVA and the new complex. She noted the need to offset the buildings to avoid wind tunneling and a need for heated walkways to allow for continued pedestrian access through harsh winter months. Ms. Kent also questioned the flight path with a proposed airport, and the power source for the new development with the future closure of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Ms. Kent concluded her delegation by stating that there was a need to ensure that green space was included in the development and that it brings in real jobs. Greg Fernandes, 582 Rainy Day Drive, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in support of evolving progress but stressed it needed to be done in a controlled manner, noting the need for a cost analysis and the effect on property taxes. He stated he would support future casino funds being used for this project and questioned why the City would give a percentage of casino revenue to the Durham Region when it could be used for initiatives such as this proposed development. Mr. Fernandes raised further questions as to whether existing structures could be utilized to avoid the need for new buildings and whether the building heights could be lowe red . Richard Kane, 1535-207 Diefenbaker Court, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in opposition to the proposed building heights, noting concerns with wind tunneling and the effects on the area, as well as parking, infrastructure and traffic with an influx of new residents. He questioned where the energy would come from to support the new development as well as the timing of crosswalks to provide more time for pedestrians to safely cross streets. Heather Robinson, Pickering Resident, appeared before the Committee, quoting a CBC news article from April 2017 that discussed the effects of strong wind gusts with tall towers and various multiple phenomenas which can occur at once. She noted the article indicated solutions such as the installation of awnings and podiums to the building's design, noting it was a shared responsibility to come up with solutions. Members requested Ms. Robinson provide a copy of the article to the City Clerk for circulation to Members of Council. It was the consensus of the Committee to take a short recess.

Marie Hardie-Beaudoin, 734 Leaside Street, Pickering, appeared before the Committee and stated that the proposal was exciting but that it was not considering age-friendly communities or striving toward such a community. She further stated the need to look at the proposed footprint and work this into the planning process noting that development seemed to be dictating the agenda. Ms. Hardie-Beaudoin raised concerns regarding environmental impacts and the proximity of the development to Frenchman's Bay as well as the need to incorporate a vision as part of climate change. She further relayed comments regarding the disruption of major construction which brings about noise and dust issues and asked Committee to strongly consider the impacts of the development to taxpayers. Abigail Sampson, 822 Bem Avenue, Pickering, appeared before the Committee, noting her concerns for the existing residents living in the area.

John Fahey, 1400 The Esplanade North, Pickering, appeared before the Committee in support of the Civic Centre redevelopment, noting the potential is here to capture an urban oasis. He stated that while intensification must happen, it is currently unsafe for cyclists. Mr. Fahey further noted the need to look at interconnectivity. Sid Cocker, 1000 The Esplanade North, Unit 1012, Pickering, appeared before the Committee, questioning the increase in building height, noting that he felt most residents were opposed to this.

Mr. Prevedel indicated that the Memorandum of Understanding included in Report CAO 07-19 is not a binding document, but one that will serve as the basis for negotiation and completion of the binding agreements that would shape and define the various aspects of the City Centre Project.

Mr. Karwowski provided an explanation of the proposed multi-year financial plan and assumptions, and indicated that the casino revenues will be utilized to pay for the capital costs associated with the Project and that tax levies will be utilized for the operating costs of the new municipal facilities.

The policy was enacted as a compliance measure to meet the Ontario Community Museum Standards established by the Province of Ontario. The Pickering Museum Village participates in the Community Museum Standards program, and receives annual operating funding of approximately $39,000 from the Community Museum Operating Grant (CMOG) program. Over the past several years, CMOG has introduced requirements for museums to have "standards-specific" policies for areas such as collections management, exhibitions management, interpretation and education, research, conservation, and community relations, which includes volunteer management and human resources. For this reason, PMV have since created and introduced the Collections Development and Management Policy (CUL 010); Exhibit Policy (CUL 050); Interpretation and Programming Policy (CUL 040); Research Policy (CUL 040); and, Conservation Policy (CUL 020). Community Relations will be guided by the Volunteer Policy (under development), and the Pickering Museum Village strategic plan. As a result of these new "standards-specific" policies, the overarching Pickering Museum Village Policy (CUL 060) and its supporting Pickering Museum Village Procedure (ADM 040-001) are now redundant. Therefore, it is recommended that Pickering Museum Village Policy (CUL 060) and Procedure (ADM 040-001) be repealed.

The objective of this section is to outline the scope of the PMV collection, establish the priorities for collecting, and regulate the artifacts that will be accepted into the collection. It is based on the standards for ethical behaviour and legislative requirements acceptable to the Government of Ontario, Ministry of Tourism, a�Culture and Sport, to the Canadian Museum Association, and to the museum field at large. For details on how to collect (when and how to complete. temporary gift receipts and final loan agreements), completing requisitions for tax receipts, maintaining a list for collecting, determining if an artifact should be deaccessioned, and the steps required to perform that process, refer to PMV Standard Operating Procedures. a) PMV will collect only those objects that meet a minimum of one the following provenance criteria: i. were made and/or used in Pickering Township ii. are associated with a person, place or event in Pickering iii. are, to a certain extent, typical or representative of objects made or used in Pickering and that are historical, cultural, or aesthetic in nature that primarily cover the period from 1810 to 1920. b) Acquisitions made either by donation or purchase, will be guided by the parameters set out in PMV's mandate. c) The object must be in reasonable condition and be able to be housed and preserved in accordance with recognized museum standards. d) PMV will collect only those objects that can be cared for as outlined in the Collection Management and Conservation Procedures. Procedure Title: Pickering Museum Village Procedure Page 30 of 49 Procedure Number: ADM 040-001 - 108 - e) In acquiring artifacts for the collection, the PMV and its representatives will act responsibly and in a manner sympathetic to members of the community. f) No human remains will be accepted into the collection. g) Objects, which are of specific significance to recognizable cultural, ethnic, or religious groups, will be added to the collection and displayed under specific guidelines. Representatives of such groups will be consulted to ensure that any display or depiction of such objects is sensitive to their beliefs and concerns. h) In order to facilitate public and educational programming, and to avoid deterioration of the Core Collection through use, the PMV will also collect objects for an Education Collection. i) Objects which are accepted into the Education Collection will be those that are typical or representative of objects made or used in Pickering from 1810 to 1920, but which have no specific association with a person, place or event within the Township. These objects may be duplicates of those within the Core Collection. j) Consideration will be given to the probable outcome of the PMV's refusal to accept the donation in regard to its sale, loss of history/ provenance or destruction. k) The PMV will collect objects with regard to all municipal, provincial and federal statutes and agreements concerning the control or banning of specific materials or objects. I) PMV staff, Advisory Committee, and Collections Sub-Committee may not personally collect items that fall within the PMV's collection mandate. Such personal collections will be considered a conflict of interest. m) The PMV will avoid accepting items with stipulations or legal restrictions, including provincial and federal acts, or in contravention of UNESCO Conventions. Procedure Title: Pickering Museum Village Procedure Procedure Number: ADM 040-001 - 109 - Page 31 of 49 n) The PMV will respect the provisions contained in the Copyright Act, Ontario Heritage Act, and the Freedom of Information Act and Protection of Privacy Act insofar as they apply to the ethical acquisition of artifacts. o) Refer to "Accessioning an Artifact" Standard Operating Procedure for specific details and steps. 09.03 Accessioning Guidelines All pertinent information regarding the history of the artifacts will be collected, recorded, and preserved. a) Items accepted into the collection must conform to the criteria as outlined in the Collection Development and Acquisitions Policy. b) Once an object has been accepted into the collection all documentation as outlined in related procedures must be completed. c) All core collection acquisitions will be identified using the Chenhall nomenclature for classification. d) Two cataloguing systems will be maintained, one for the core collection and a separate inventory for the education collection. In order to differentiate the systems, all "core" artifacts will have a number in the format of YYYY.D.Ia, where `YYYY' is the year accepted into the collection, `D' is the donation number that year, `I' is the item number within that donation and `a' is a letter designating item parts where required. Prior to 2009 all numbers also began with an "X". e) Where practical, the objects in the education collection will be numbered in the same way as the core collection except that they will start with the letter "E". Prior to 2009, items that were not considered core collection were prefaced with an "R" suggesting "reproduction". While some items were, in fact, reproductions, others with this label were antiques. Those items of age, useful in the Education Collection, will continue to bear the "R" code; however, files will be updated to reflect their origin, and age. f) A photographic record will be kept of all new acquisitions as part of the cataloguing process. g) A hard copy of all catalogue records will be maintained in the Redman House Program Centre. Procedure Title: Pickering Museum Village Procedure Procedure Number: ADM 040-001 - 110 - Page 32 of 49 h) The electronic records will be backed up on the City of Pickering computer server that is accessible to the PMV. The data is stored on the city's SAN (Storage Area Network), which is backed up to disk on a daily basis as well as being replicated to a second SAN at the Recreation Complex for backup and recovery purposes. The data is also backed up to tape on a monthly basis as part of a tape backup rotation, with the tapes stored off-site for disaster recovery purposes. i) Catalogue numbers will be affixed to artifacts in a manner that will prevent damage to or deterioration of the object. The PMV Labelling Artifacts Standard Operating Procedure will be followed by all staff when applying an artifact number. j) As part of the recording system, location information will be kept for each artifact. When artifacts are moved the new location must be updated on the artifact record and in the Past Perfect 5.0 database. k) Artifacts which are of specific significance to recognizable cultural, ethnic, or religious groups may be returned to such groups upon their request under specific guidelines. Such groups must be able to assure the PMV that the object is integral to the beliefs or culture of the group and that they are able to provide proper care of the object according to accepted conservation methods. Return of such objects will be approved by the PMV Advisory Committee and approved by Council. I) Where applicable, the PMV will follow all guidelines and maintain records required by municipal, provincial or federal statutes, such as for firearms or hazardous materials that may be held in the collection. 09.04 Inventory of Artifact Collection a) The PMV will perform regular, comprehensive inventories of artifacts in all heritage buildings and storage areas. b) An inventory worksheet shall be used during the inventory and will track the following: i.

Housing is in short supply. Home ownership is out of reach for many. Rents are too high relative to incomes and Ontario's homeless desperately need a roof over their heads. The lack of suitable affordable housing in Ontario is a significant problem that all orders of government must work together to address in partnership with the private, non-profit, and co-operative housing sectors. The federal and provincial governments have recognized the severe housing challenges facing Ontario families and have come together recently with various strategies, plans, and funding programs to address the issue. While these initiatives are welcome, more must be done to meet the housing challenges faced by the people of this province. Despite recent measures, many of AMO's outstanding recommendations to address the housing supply and affordability crisis remain relevant. Finding solutions to address the housing crisis is a priority for AMO's Board and AMO's Affordable Housing and Homelessness Task Force. The task force is comprised of municipal elected officials and senior staff involved in housing from across Ontario. The task force also includes representatives from key organizations on the front lines of housing and homelessness prevention, namely the Ontario Municipal Social Services Association (OMSSA), the Northern Ontario Service Deliverers' Association (NOSDA), the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA), and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada - Ontario Region (CHF-ON). Advice from the Housing Services Corporation (HSC) and the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC) also informs AMO's work on housing and homelessness issues. The task force has also benefited from regular collaboration with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) on housing and homelessness matters. Members of AMO's Planning Task Force also worked jointly with the Housing Task Force, especially on considerations to increase private market housing supply in Ontario. This paper consolidates the numerous recommendations developed by the housing task force and approved by AMO's Board of Directors in recent years that have yet to be taken up the provincial government. They reflect perspectives from municipal governments and District Social Service Administration Boards (DSSABs) working on Ontario's front lines. Their timely implementation would realize efficiencies in Ontario's housing system and deliver real outcomes for Ontarians. The recommendations suggest actions by all orders of government, as well as housing developers, which would both preserve existing stock and expand the supply of affordable housing options. The recommendations also address homelessness. Solutions to address the housing crisis are, and will continue to be, an AMO priority in the years ahead. The goal of this paper is to advance a conversation beyond the existing initiatives on how to comprehensively address the housing crisis in Ontario and support healthy and prosperous local communities. 3 - 130 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario We look forward to discussions with all housing partners. We must take advantage of the current opportunity to address these housing challenges. Sincerely, Jamie McGarvey AMO President Mayor of Parry Sound - 131 - C� AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Executive Summary The housing and homelessness crisis in Ontario is serious and widespread, cutting across all four corners of the province and hitting everyone from the middle class to our most vulnerable residents. At its core, it reflects a shortage of affordable housing supply right across Ontario. Both the provincial government and the federal government have taken action through Ontario's release of the Community Housing Renewal Strategy and the Housing Supply Action Plan, and the federal governmenYs National Housing Strategy. However, more needs to be done and municipal governments have a number of outstanding recommendations to help address the housing challenges facing Ontario families. Municipal governments are on the front lines of a multi-faceted crisis. This crisis includes a lack of affordable homeownership and rent. Municipalities use local planning and financial tools to create responsible, appropriate, and affordable housing development that contributes to strong communities. They need flexibility and provincial support to bring more housing on stream more quickly, without compromising oversight and due diligence. As well, there is aging, underfunded, and inadequate amounts of Community Housing to meet demand. Municipal governments struggle to deliver costly community housing, crushed by a backlog in capital repairs. Ontario is the only province in Canada where community housing is a municipal responsibility. This burden was never intended to be carried by the property tax base. It is critical to have a sustainable model for funding operations and capital repairs, including permanent and predictable funding for housing supports. Chronic homelessness persists amidst a lack of supportive housing for people with complex health needs, including mental health and addictions. Municipal governments are primary providers of shelters and services for the homeless. The pressure on these services is worsened by the crisis in community housing. Many emergency shelters are at capacity and homelessness touches municipalities of all sizes, across all of Ontario. A more focused effort to address chronic homelessness is needed. The federal and provincial governments have recognized the need for action and it is critical that all three orders of government work together to create more affordable housing that meets Ontarians' needs. The National Housing Strategy creates a platform for the federal, provincial, and municipal governments to come together to talk about how best to improve housing outcomes for the people of Ontario. The AMO-Ontario Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Table should continue to help facilitate municipal-provincial discussions on the housing file. An all-of-government approach is needed. This discussion paper consolidates AMO's existing housing and homelessness prevention policy positions that have yet to be taken up by the provincial government. The paper focuses on five key municipal priorities for housing in local communities: 1) increasing the supply of affordable market housing for families 2) creating a financially sustainable model for community housing 3) expanding affordable housing options 4) ending homelessness; and 5) supporting people with their health care needs for successful tenancies. 5 - 132 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Given the municipal role in housing, municipal governments and DSSABs are well positioned to provide advice on what is needed to address the housing affordability and supply crisis that is compromising quality of life for many and putting many others at risk. While the Housing Supply Action Plan makes some important steps, more needs to be done. Shelter is one of the most fundamental human needs. AMO looks forward to continuing to work together with the federal and provincial governments, along with private developers and housing providers, to tackle the crisis and bring about comprehensive change for Ontarians. � - 133 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Introduction Too many people in Ontario struggle to find housing that makes sense for their needs and for their pocketbooks. Homeownership is increasingly out of reach, rental prices are skyrocketing, and our population is changing faster than the market can adapt to provide the right housing mix. This housing crisis is widespread and points to an affordable housing supply shortage across the province. The construction of new housing infrastructure is not keeping pace with demand. This affects both people looking for housing and their communities. The access and availability of affordable stock directly relates to the ability to retain and attract workers into the labour force. As well, there is an economic return on investment, as housing development creates jobs in construction and other sectors. Existing community (i.e. social) housing also faces significant sustainability challenges.' Many emergency shelters are at capacity and homelessness is prevalent in municipalities of all shapes, sizes, and geographies. The goal of eliminating chronic homelessness across Ontario is becoming harder to achieve. Conditions in the private housing market make challenges in community housing and homelessness prevention even worse. Unable to find affordable housing on their own, many people turn to community housing to find shelter. What they find is a long waitlist. In some parts of the province the waitlist is growing at an unprecedented speed. Meanwhile, some community housing units sit empty because they are in a state of disrepair. Across the province, people are couch surfing and sleeping in abandoned barns and tents throughout the cold winter months. Our population is also aging with increasingly complex health needs, including mental health, addictions, and trauma-related needs. There are not enough supportive housing units to address demand and housing people in need of support with private landlords can be challenging. The housing affordability and supply challenges facing Ontario are real and pressing. Both the federal and provincial governments recognized this with the release of recent plans and strategies. This includes the provincial Community Housing Renewal Strategy and Housing Supply Action Plan, and the National Housing Strategy. For these initiatives to succeed, all orders of government must work together to advance transformational change. An "all-of- government" approach to the housing crisis must also involve meaningful partnerships with the private and community sectors. Government cannot do it alone. This discussion paper moves the conversation on housing solutions forward by consolidating AMO's outstanding housing and homelessness prevention related policy positions that have yet to be taken up by other orders of government. If implemented, these recommendations can bring about meaningful change while complementing existing provincial and federal initiatives. ' Social housing is now referred to as Community Housing by the Province of Ontario. This paper reflects this change in terminology. 7 - 134 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario The paper begins by outlining principles to guide an all-of-government response to the housing crisis. It then provides a breakdown of roles and jurisdiction in housing and finishes by proposing action items for consideration by each order of government and housing developers. The paper focuses on five key municipal priorities for housing in local communities: 1) increasing the supply of affordable market housing for families 2) creating a financially sustainable model for community housing 3) expanding affordable housing options 4) ending homelessness; and 5) supporting people with their health care needs for successful tenancies. We have a unique opportunity to collectively identify and implement affordable and community-based housing solutions for Ontarians. All three orders of government are at the table. As local front line leaders, municipal governments have their sleeves rolled up and are ready to continue the work. �� - 135 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Principles to Guide an All-of-Government Approach A principled approach is necessary to identify meaningful housing solutions that work for all Ontario families. AMO puts forward the following principles to guide an all-of-government approach to housing in Ontario: All orders of government should work together to ensure that the people of Ontario have access to safe, suitable, and affordable housing options. They should dedicate adequate resources to the full range of housing, including homeless shelters, community housing, supportive housing, rental housing, and home ownership. Special attention should be paid to housing solutions for those most in need and for middle-income households. 2. All orders of government should foster'complete communities' with a diverse range and mix of housing options, densities, and tenures developed through sound planning processes. 3. Municipal governments and District Social Service Administration Boards areclosest to the people and best positioned to plan and manage housing and homelessness prevention services in their communities. Municipal autonomy is necessary to protect the public interest and meet local needs. 4. Where municipal governments are the primary funders of services in Ontario, they should be the principal policy maker, with input from local communities and housing stakeholders. Provincial legislation, regulations, and policies should give flexibility to meet local needs rather than direct how services are to be delivered. Municipal Service System Managers should be treated as equal partners to co- design housing and homelessness prevention systems in Ontario. 5. Housing and homelessness prevention programs are essentially a means for income redistribution. As such, they should not be funded primarily through property tax revenue. It is unsustainable and at odds with basic principles of good public and fiscal policy. 6. All orders of government should work in partnership with Indigenous communities to advance co-developed, Indigenous-driven housing solutions that meet the needs of Indigenous people. �] - 136 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Roles and �urisdiction in Housing Each order of government has a role to play in addressing the housing supply and affordability crisis. Municipal governments as local planning authorities and service system managers; the Province as a steward of the land use planning and community housing systems; and, the federal government as a system enabler. The federal and provincial governments also play a role in funding and in the development of frameworks to implement housing approaches. When it comes to strategizing and implementing solutions on the ground, the federal and provincial governments should defer to the expertise of municipal governments and service system managers on the front lines. Ontario's Municipal Order of Government Housing pressures are most keenly felt as a local issue. As the order of government closest to the people, municipal governments and District Social Service Administration Boards (DSSABs) do the heavy lifting in tackling the crisis on the ground. The municipal interest in housing can be broken down into two general categories. On one hand, municipal governments are responsible for local planning and the implementation of the Ontario Building Code. Municipal governments also pride themselves in being stewards of complete communities that provide a wide range of housing options for residents. Complete communities are places where homes, jobs, schools, community services, parks, and recreation facilities are easily accessible.' A well-designed built environment also promotes resident quality of life and population health. On the other hand, some municipal governments administer the community housing system locally. Ontario's 47 Consolidated Municipal Service System Managers (CMSMs) and DSSABs co-fund, manage, plan, and administer community housing. They also develop affordable housing stock and deliver homelessness prevention programs. Collectively, the 47 are known as Service System Managers.2 CMSMs are upper tier (i.e. county, region) and single-tier governments located in southern Ontario, except for Sudbury in the north which is also a CMSM. DSSABs perform the function of service system manager for social services in northern Ontario, including for housing and homelessness prevention services. Ontario is the only Canadian province or territory where municipal governments are responsible for the funding and delivery of community housing. In 2017, property taxpayers contributed over $1.77 billion towards community housing.2 This significant investment by municipal governments is a result of the provincial downloading of community housing to service system managers in 2001 - 2002. This amount is just for community housing. It does z According to Ontario's Housing Policy Statement: "Service Managers occupy a unique position as system managers and service providers in the areas of housing assistance, homelessness prevention and support services, income support programs, early learning and child care services. There are also opportunities for Service Managers to work with other related service systems - such as health, community services, children and youth, child welfare, corrections - to enable people to access the housing and supports that they need. The province is promoting coordination efforts across service systems to help maintain housing stability, prevent homelessness and improve outcomes for people." 10 - 137 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario not include the full range of spending by municipal governments for housing-related supports, homelessness prevention programs, or financial incentives that they provide to facilitate affordable housing development. Due to limitations in provincial data collection, a figure representing the full picture is challenging to pull together. Service system managers work in partnership with co-operative, non-profit, and Indigenous community housing providers. They also consult with community members to address the housing needs of vulnerable, low-income Ontarians. The HousingServicesAct, 20� � requires service system managers to develop ten-year housing and homelessness plans. These plans are based on local needs and guide local actions to address homelessness and housing in line with provincial and local priorities. The Act also sets service level standards such as the minimum level of assistance that must be provided by service system managers. Eligibility for rent-geared-to-income (RGI) assistance is also legislated by the Act and its regulations. As well, municipal governments provide housing benefits and rent supplements. All municipal governments, regardless of whether or not they are designated Service System Managers, play a critical role in facilitating affordable housing. They have several planning and financial tools at their disposal. For example, municipalities can implement community improvement plans, waive or defer development charges, and designate housing providers as municipal capital facilities to provide financial assistance. Many do so to the extent that fiscal circumstances allow and community priorities dictate. It works best where there is close collaboration between service system managers and other municipalities to achieve mutual goals.3 The Government of Ontario The Government of Ontario has a multifaceted role to play in the search for'made in Ontario' housing solutions. More recently, it has taken a keen focus in addressing the housing crisis with the release of its Housing Supply Action Plan and related legislation. More Homes, More Choices: Ontario's Housin�SupplvAction Plan aims to make it easier to build new housing, and suggests changes to planning, heritage, environmental assessments, endangered species, and conservation-related policy. As well, the Action Plan promises to help renters by making it easier to build new rental properties and to develop secondary suites in existing homes. Many of these provincial proposals have already been addressed with the royal assent of Bill �08, the More Homes, More ChoicesAct, 2019. On the planning front, the Province regulates the municipal planning function through legislation like the PlanningAct. It is also responsible for numerous provincial directives including the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), the Greenbelt Plan, and various regional growth plans. This overarching planning framework sets requirements for municipal 3 For more information on what is in the municipal toolbox, see the guide "Municipal Tools for Affordable Housing" produced by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on their website http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/AssetFactory.aspx%3Fd id%3D9270 11 - 138 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario planning activities, including notifications, public meetings, consultation with third parties, and timelines. Ontario is also responsible for numerous processes that may affect timelines in the municipal development approval process. This includes the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), provincial environmental assessments, Ontario's land registry, and more. The Government of Ontario also provides citizen guides to help developers and homeowners navigate the land use planning process. When it comes to community housing, the Ontario government is the steward of the housing system, creating legislation and establishing service requirements for Service System Managers. The Province regulates community housing through the HousingServicesAct, 20� � and sets guidelines for local Housing and Homelessness Plans through the Ontario Policy Statement: Service Mana$er Housing and Homelessness Plans and through various housing strategies. A new Community Housing Renewal Strategy was released by the provincial government in April 2019 to sustain, repair, and grow the community housing system. Ontario also has several funding programs to help people find homes. Municipal governments and DSSABs manage service delivery through these provincial funding programs, including the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI), the Strong Communities Rent Supplement, Home for Good, the Canada-Ontario Community Housing Initiative (COCHI) and the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative (OPHI). This is the successor program to the former Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) program. Additionally, provincial programs provide funding to: support affordable housing construction; facilitate homeownership and renovations; advance homelessness prevention; increase access to low- cost financing; and, provide rent supplements and housing allowances, amongst other objectives. Some of these programs, like the OPHI and COCHI programs, are co-funded with the federal government. They all have specific mandates and targets with time-limited funding. The provincial government is also the primary funder of supportive housing in Ontario. For more information on Ontario's housing programs and initiatives, see the MMAH website. The Federal Government The federal government functions as a system enabler when it comes to housing policy and funding. Leveraging its fiscal capacity, Canada can help make community housing financially viable across the country, promote the expansion of more affordable housing options, and help prevent homelessness. The first full federal community housing program in Ontario began in the 1950s. Many units were built under this federal leadership. From 1986 to1992, the federal governmenYs role in housing slowly diminished until funding for new community housing came to a complete halt in 1993. The federal government then transferred administrative responsibility for its community housing stock to the province through a 1999 agreement with Ontario. These 12 - 139 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario administrative functions were further passed on to municipal governments with the enactment of the SocialHousingReformActin 2000. In the years that followed, the federal government slowly began taking tentative steps towards reclaiming its prior role. It returned in force beginning in 2016 with consultations for a new National Housing Strategy. As part of the strategy, several remaining federal housing programs will be replaced by successor initiatives. The National Housing Strategy announced in 2017 is a Canada-wide $40 billion, 10-year plan. A bilateral agreement on the National Housing Strategy was signed between Canada and Ontario in 2018. Work is ongoing to finalize the design and implementation of the strategy in the Ontario context. Notably, a Trilateral Coordination Forum has been created with representatives from the federal, provincial, and municipal orders of government to advance the strategy in Ontario. Key highlights of the agreement are: • investments of approximately $4 billion over 9 years to protect, renew, and expand community housing — this funding will also support Ontario's priorities related to housing repair, construction, and affordability; • a new Canada Housing Benefit in Ontario; and • long-term, predictable funding to preserve existing community housing units beginning April 1, 2019. Funding opportunities are also available outside of the bilateral agreement through the National Co-Investment Fund and other initiatives. Other federal housing supports include seed funding programs, funding to preserve community housing, support for innovative financing opportunities, various loan insurance programs, and other investments in affordable housing. In addition, the federal government is creating a Technical Resource Centre called the Community Housing Transformation Centre. The purpose of this Centre is to help community housing providers build capacity to become more effective and sustainable. AMO is pleased to see federal-provincial co-operation under the National Housing Strategy and the willingness to work with service system managers. Both the provincial and municipal governments are providing significant funding to cost match the federal dollars and leverage investments in Ontario. The 2019 Ontario Budget confirmed the provincial investment in the strategy. It also indicated next steps in negotiating and co-designing the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). This proposed housing benefit will help address housing affordability. While the 2019 Federal Budget did not include further new investments for community housing, it did include initiatives targeting private market housing. This includes assistance for new home buyers and an increase in funding for new rental construction. The federal budget also includes funding to support urban Indigenous service providers. As well, the federal government introduced legislation that would require future governments to maintain an ongoing National Housing Strategy. This is significant. Some, nonetheless, feel the government is not going far enough to establish an enshrined right to housing. For more information on the National Housing Strategy, see AMO's submission to the 2016 National Housing Strategy consultation process here. Information on the strategy and 13 - 140 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario federal housing programs is also available from the federal government and from the Canada Mortga�e and Housing Corporation. The Canada-Ontario bilateral agreement can also be found on the CMHC website. Action Plan for an All-of-Government Approach 1) Increasing the Supply of Affordable Market Housing for Families The cost of market housing — both homeownership and rental — is increasingly out of reach for everyday people. According to the CMHC, the cost of the average new single-detached home in Ontario was $1,003,516 in February 2019. The median was around $750,000.3 When resales are incorporated, the province-wide average for February 2019 was $580,019.4 In the rental market, the average price of a three-bedroom apartment is around $1,500.5 Prices are even higher in the GTHA for both home sales and rental prices. This impacts the overall figures for Ontario. Given relatively stagnant wage growth, the cost of homeownership, and high rents, it now takes potential buyers around 12 years to save for a down payment.6 The proportion of renters and homeowners in core housing need, defined as people paying more than 30% of their income on housing, is increasing. According to the 2016 census, Ontario was the province with the highest proportion of households in core housing need. This situation is not limited to one region or municipalities of a certain size. There are many different housing markets in the province, all with their unique needs. Another key challenge relates to low vacancy rates and the amount of new rental stock entering the housing market. Across Ontario, the vacancy rate for rental housing is at a meagre 1.8%.' This means that renters have limited options when it comes to upgrading to a new apartment or downsizing to save costs. New housing stock is also taking too long to get to market for a range of reasons, many of which are outside of municipal control. Estimates suggest that Ontario is already short 29,000 affordable rental homes. This means that 13,700 new rental homes must come online each year for the next ten years to accommodate population growth.$ Meanwhile, over 100,000 new proposed housing units across Ontario are waiting for development appeal proceedings due to an under-resourced Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).g The factors leading to an unaffordable housing market are complex. They include a combination of low vacancy rates, inadequate supply, high commodity and investment interests, but also modest employment and labour markets. Many buyers and renters do not make enough money to truly afford housing available on the market. While housing affordability is a challenge province-wide, some problems are unique to Ontario's north and rural areas. Given stable or declining population levels, homeownership is relatively accessible in most of Northern Ontario. Rents are also 20-30% below the province-wide average. Instead, in the north, the key challenge is the state of existing housing. A short construction season and a limited supply of skilled trade workers mean that new housing is harder and more expensive to build. This means that families have no place 14 - 141 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario to move or ability to renovate when their existing homes become older and increasingly obsolete. For this reason, much of the housing stock needs to be renovated.'o Throughout the consultation on Ontario's Housing Supply Action Plan, AMO identified actions that all orders of government and developers could take to improve Ontario's housing supply and affordability. AMO emphasized that many delays in the planning approval process were due to incomplete applications, third-party reviews and provincial processes, and due to decision timelines. AMO also emphasized that growth should continue to pay for growth. Bill 108, the More Homes, More ChoicesAct, 20�9took several actions to advance the Province's Housing Supply Action Plan, including: reforming development charges for hard services; introducing a new community benefit charge framework for soft services; and, reforming the LPAT process. Changes were also made to shorten legislated planning approval timelines. The government effort to find solutions to the problems at hand are laudable. However, there are still some details to be worked on to achieve key goals. Bill 108 received mixed reviews from AMO and municipal governments. Ontario's municipal governments are nonetheless committed to continuing to work with the province to advance housing in local communities. While there are positive elements, there are some areas of concern such as the return to de novo hearings at the LPAT and the potential limiting of municipal ability to recover the costs of growth and plan effectively for the good of their communities. At the time of writing, several regulations related to the new community benefits framework and development charge reforms are open for public consultation on the regulatory registry. It is important that the finalized regulations reflect municipal input and do not have a negative fiscal impact on municipal governments. There is also an important consultation underway on changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, including measures to support housing development. While AMO is pleased that the government is prioritizing housing supply with the release of the Housing Supply Action Plan, more needs to be done. All orders of government and the development community must strive for continuous improvement to address the housing supply and affordability crisis. In its initial submission to the Housing Supply Action Plan, AMO made numerous recommendations for all three orders of governments and developers to help address the issue. Many of these recommendations remain relevant now that Ontario's plan has been released. AMO appreciates that the provincial government has signalled that its work to increase housing supply will continue. Therefore, the following recommendations should be considered for the future. Ontario's municipal governments are on the front line and ready to work with all government and community partners to find and implement housing solutions that make sense for Ontario families. While addressing market housing is important, it must be said that measures to improve market housing alone will not solve the housing crisis in Ontario. Co-ops and government- funded community housing also require attention. The private market is nonetheless a critical contributor with an important role to play. 15 - 142 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario ✓ Streamline to Speed up the Approval Process by Addressing Implementation Challenges Speed is an important factor in bringing new housing supply to market. One of the key measures introduced through Bill 108 was shortening the timelines for municipal governments to make planning decisions related to official plans from 210 to 120 days and from 150 days to 90 days for zoning by-law amendments. As well, plans of subdivision applications are now sheltered from third- party appeals. When it comes to planning, municipal governments look for good processes and due diligence to safeguard the public interest, ensure local standards are met, and to make sure that communities are designed using sound planning principles. All involved parties can make changes that would speed up the development approval process. A key challenge for many municipal governments is that developers will submit incomplete or inadequate applications that are not detailed enough, causing delays in the planning approval process. Improving the quality of applications submitted to municipal governments would speed up approvals. As well, many delays in the planning process are due to delays in agency or provincial approval processes and requirements. It is unclear how legislative changes related to the LPAT will speed up the construction of housing. Although Ontario has committed to increasing the number of LPAT adjudicators to clear the backlog, appeal proceeding timelines will likely increase in the near future once the LPAT returns to old de novo hearing rules. The PlanningActhad previously empowered municipal councils to make the decision on planning matters based on a test of the application's conformity to the municipality's official plan, provincial plans, and the Provincial Policy Statement. With the passing of Bill 108, adjudicators will rule based on what they perceive to be the best planning outcome. The reinstated rules also allow planning applicants to introduce new evidence during the hearing process not previously shared with the municipality in the initial application. Historically, drawn out de novo hearings have delayed construction. This raises concerns that the return to these rules will result in further delays. AMO urges the government to monitor and evaluate the impacts of these changes. There remain a number of implementation challenges to speeding up new housing development. All parties involved, whether it be municipal governments, the provincial government or developers, can take steps to help. AMO understands that the government will continue its efforts to increase housing supply. The following recommendations are presented for further consideration by all. Recommendation #�: That municipal governments continue to work to ensure that zoning by laws are up to date with official plans. Recommendation #2: That municipal governments pursue and move towards e-permitting if they have the resources. Recommendation #3.• That municipal governments consider the benefit of third-party coordinating engineers as a potential option. 16 - 143 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Recommendation #4: That municipal governments explore the benefits of offering one-window'concierge services'to fast track priority proposals. Recommendation #5.• That municipal governments consider whether adopting a Community Planning Permit System would meet the needs of their local communities. Recommendation #6.• That municipal governments consider succession management strategies to ensure that they can continue to employ well- qualified building inspectors. Recommendation #7.• That the provincial government modernize notice provisions. Recommendation #8.• That the provincial government continue to document and disseminate Best Management Practices (BMPs) and provide data support to municipal governments to foster learning, resulting in continuous improvement. Recommendation #9: That the provincial government provide support to housing developers including sharing of BMPs. Recommendation #�0.• That the provincial government provide training to help municipal governments increase the supply of building inspectors. Recommendation #��: That housing developers take steps to ensure they submit complete, quality applications to reduce timelines and reduce the number of resubmissions. Recommendation #�2: That housing developers take good care to prepare comprehensive site plans. Recommendation #�3.• That housing developers diligently and completely fulfill contractual Clearing Conditions in a timely manner. Recommendation #�4.• That housing developers ensure timely building inspections to keep projects on track and on schedule. ✓ Promote a Mix of Housing and Missing Middle Housing AMO believes in fostering complete communities with a diverse range and mix of housing options, densities and tenures to meet needs as required by the PPS. This is essential if municipal governments are to meet affordability targets. In many areas, there is a lack of what is known as'missing middle' housing. This term means different things to different people. Generally, it refers to a missing range of middle density housing options. This is housing that can adapt to different lifestyles - such as 17 - 144 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario intergenerational living, new families, and seniors aging in place. This could include row houses, semi-detached homes, townhouses, or other options. For many,'missing middle' housing can also refer to housing affordable to middle income earners. In many cases, not enough housing for both families and seniors is being built near transit, schools, workplaces and amenities. For example, families need family-sized housing and rental accommodations. In other situations, over-housed seniors may need options to downsize their living accommodations and/or seek shared housing arrangements. Potential solutions to address these challenges require innovative thinking. Secondary suites, flex housing, and the construction of homes that can be easily outfitted with accessibility features later on should be part of the equation. Municipal governments have a range of tools under provincial legislation to facilitate affordable housing development. One promising tool is inclusionary zoning as it requires a share of affordable housing in new developments. However, Bill 108 limits municipal governments' ability to effectively leverage this tool. Inclusionary zoning is now limited to protected major transit station and development permit system areas. This means that inclusionary zoning will not be possible in areas that lack major transit stations. There are also barriers to creating development permit systems that will limit the number of units built leveraging inclusionary zoning in these areas. Inclusionary zoning has been successful in otherjurisdictions, primarily in the United States. It can help fill in the gap in'missing middle' income housing if provincial rules allow it to be used in broader situations. It is also important for all three orders of government to work together to increase the supply of rental units. The lack of new builds has had a negative impact on affordability in the rental market. Increasing the number of rentals will help maximize the mix of housing in Ontario's municipalities. Recommendation #�5.� That the provincial government provide further information and promote awareness among municipal governments of their ability to enact inclusionary zoning by-laws, including on the new rules following the Royal Assent of Bill 108. Recommendation #�6.� That municipal governments revisit zoning to explore zero-lot-line housing, tiny homes, laneway housing, flex housing, shared housing, and other types of housing that reduce land costs and increase density. Recommendation #�7.• That the provincial government consider financial incentives for developers to encourage missing middle-type housing for moderate-income families. Recommendation #�8.� That the provincial government support growth of new housing supply with corresponding investments in infrastructure including schools, hospitals, transit, and transportation. Recommendation #�9.• That the provincial government work in partnership with municipal governments to change public attitudes opposed to : - 145 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario intensification by making the public more aware of the negative impact of sprawl on the environment, traffic congestion, and on the costs of municipal services. Recommendation #20.� That the provincial government ensure there is enough flexibility and supports for municipal governments to look at underused and strategically located employment lands for mixed-uses, including housing. Recommendation #2�• That developers consider a menu of finishes so that more modest options are available. Recommendation #22: That developers consider the potential for expandable/reducible units (i.e. time-share units often have the option of combining adjoining units for larger floor plans or closing off access for small units). Recommendation #23.• That developers design buildings in a way that allows for the future installation of accessible features. ✓ Support the Cost of New Housing Supply Through Existing Tools Some have pointed to municipally imposed charges and fees as contributing to the high cost of housing. However, fees like development charges are not the root cause of the housing supply and affordability crisis nor would reducing them solve the problem. Rather it will create new ones. Municipal governments and the Province must work together to dispel myths about development charges, property taxes, and user fees by promoting how they are critical to creating livable homes and communities. Growth must pay for itself. Development charges are not a revenue source for municipal governments. Rather, they are cost recovery for expensive but necessary infrastructure to connect new builds to existing municipal services, including water, sewage, roads, and electricity. A house cannot be occupied without access to these vital municipal services. The infrastructure cannot pay for itself nor is it fair to increase neighbours' property taxes or reduce existing municipal services to finance expensive infrastructure for new developments. Despite the importance of development charges as a cost recovery tool for municipal governments, the Province introduced reforms as part of Bill 108 against municipal advice. Now, only select municipal'hard'services are eligible for development charges as a matter of legislation. As well, in many cases, development charges are payable over 6 years rather than being payable to the municipality up front. This increases administrative burden and cost for municipal governments. It was however positive that the province added in new expenses into the development charges calculation including paramedic services and waste diversion. Bill 108 also introduced a new Community Benefits charge framework to replace height and density bonusing under Section 37 of the P/anningAct. The Community Benefits charge 19 - 146 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario framework will create a mechanism for municipal governments to finance the development of soft services now ineligible for development charges. A risk for municipal governments is that these changes will impact the ability for growth to pay for growth. By listening to municipal advice, the Province can minimize negative impact as it develops regulations. Recommendation #24.• Municipal governments should continue to exercise the ability to voluntarily provide financial incentives when they are able, and at their sole discretion, to facilitate the targeted development of new affordable housing in line with local municipal objectives. Recommendation #25.� The provincial government should ensure development charges and community benefits charges are calculated in a way that ensures growth pays for growth. Recommendation #26.� The provincial government should consider allocating revenues generated from the land transfer tax and the non- resident speculation tax to affordable housing and for financial incentives to encourage housing solutions for moderate-income households. For more information on development charges and their importance to the fiscal health of our municipal governments, click here. ✓ Explore Innovative Housing Solutions We must encourage innovative solutions to address the housing supply and affordability crisis. Promising practices from other jurisdictions in Canada and abroad should be identified and considered. Any innovative housing policy options identified through this exercise must balance the needs of communities while ensuring public safety. Not in My Back Yardism (NIMBYism) often contributes to local opposition to new housing developments. NIMBYism can lead to delays in approval timelines and slow down the construction of new builds. There is a role for the Province to play to support municipal governments in gaining public acceptance for new housing developments. Public education can change the culture around NIMBYism and facilitate new developments. Recommendation #27.• That municipal governments continue to work with developers to encourage innovative housing while still conforming to the standards of the Ontario Building Code. Recommendation #28.• That the provincial government research and disseminate promising practices from other jurisdictions about how to facilitate innovative housing supply. Recommendation #29.• That the provincial and federal governments ensure that municipal governments continue to have the discretion to offer home ownership programs and renovation support programs with funding from � - 147 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario federal-provincial housing programs available under the National Housing Strategy. Recommendation #30.• That the provincial government explore and pilot new innovative home ownership programs with municipal governments for low- and moderate-income people, with a special focus on first-time homebuyers, including shared-equity schemes and rent-to-own approaches. Recommendation #3�• That the provincial government advocate to the federal government for more robust home ownership programs. Recommendation #32: That the provincial government research and share promising practices to make better use of existing homes, buildings, and neighbourhoods to increase the supply of housing (e.g. matchmaker services that facilitate shared living arrangements between seniors in "over- housed" situations and renters, including students). Recommendation #33.• That the provincial government consider a"Yes in My Backyard" initiative to address NIMBYism and change public attitudes against new'missing middle' and community housing developments. ✓ Protecting Tenants while Balancing Landlord Rights Facilitating new rental housing that is safe, secure and suitable for renters requires special attention. There is a widespread shortage of rental housing in the province appropriate for low- and moderate-income people including seniors and families. Very few purpose-built rentals have been constructed in recent years. Changes in this area may benefit landlords by making it easier to create rental units and may help tenants by ensuring housing stability. It is important to recognize that increasing the supply of rental housing will not necessarily increase affordability. Rents in new builds have been largely unaffordable for low-income households. Although there is a demand for affordable rental accommodations, there is a gap between what households can afford and the revenue that is required to support new rental development. A balance must be struck between landlord and tenant rights and obligations to encourage new rental units and to preserve existing ones. With proper encouragement, secondary suites can also be part of the solution. Recommendation #34: The provincial government should consider input from the public, including landlord and tenant organizations, to find the appropriate balance between landlord and tenant rights and obligations. Recommendation #35.• The provincial government should provide more public education to both landlords and tenants on their rights and obligations. 21 - 148 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Recommendation #36.• The provincial government should provide investments and incentives for purpose-built rental housing. Recommendation #37.• The provincial government should explore ways to speed up the landlord and tenant board process, including by addressing the adjudicator shortage. Recommendation #38.• The provincial government should promote awareness and provide information to municipal governments about ways to effectively facilitate legal second suites and new rentals in a manner that meets the needs of communities. Recommendation #39.• Municipal governments should exercise their ability under the PlanningActto facilitate the creation of legal second suites and new rentals in a manner that meets the needs of communities, conforms appropriately to municipal by-laws, and advances public safety. Recommendation #40.� The provincial government should provide low cost loans to homeowners who wish to renovate to create new legal second units in accordance with local municipal bylaws. 2) Creating a Financially Sustainable Model for Community Housing The Auditor General's recent report on "Social and Affordable Housing" found that there were 185,000 households representing almost 481,000 people on the community housing waitlist." The 2016 census results also indicate that 15.3% of Ontario households are in core housing need. This means that people are living in unsuitable, inadequate or unaffordable housing, and do not have access to better options in their community.12 About 20% of Ontario's renters rely on community housing. This is a significant proportion. In many cases, service system managers are struggling to afford providing community housing and to keep the existing stock in a good state of capital repair. The long-term fiscal sustainability challenges facing community housing must be addressed for service system managers to continue finding homes for low-income Ontario families. There is much that can be done to improve the flow of funding and to increase flexibility to get the job done more effectively. AMO is looking forward to the solutions proposed in the provincial Community Housing Renewal Strategy, released in 2019. The strategy responds to municipal asks. It is a good foundation. Still, AMO has further recommendations and AMO will continue to work collaboratively with MMAH to strengthen the community housing sector. For more information about the provincial strategy, see the Ministry website. 22 - 149 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario ✓ Review and Improve Funding Arrangements to Secure Permanent, Predictable Funding for Housing Supports Service System Managers face funding shortfalls when it comes to community housing. A number of challenges contribute to the fiscal pressure facing the community housing system including: • the capital repair backlog; • the end of operating agreements; • uncertainty around the end of mortgages; • the cost of creating and maintaining new and existing units; • the phasing out of time-limited programs; and • the cost of services for people who need additional supports. To effectively plan over the long-term, service system managers require predictable funding sources for housing programs. While the National Housing Strategy commits funding over the period of a decade, service system managers plan on longer term horizons, over 20 to 30 years out. Of immediate concern is the growing backlog of capital repairs in the community housing portfolio. Service system managers cannot address this backlog alone. Preserving community housing is important because much of the stock is 40 to 60 years old. Despite long waiting lists, some community-housing units are unoccupied because there is no funding for major capital repairs. The federal and provincial governments have the greatest fiscal capacity to fund the significant capital needs of community housing. These problems date back to 2000 and 2001 when community housing was first downloaded to municipal governments by Ontario. This transfer of responsibility was done without a corresponding transfer of adequate financial reserves to address both current and future forecasted capital needs. Of all the community housing units in Ontario, 70 percent are estimated to have capital reserve shortfalls, with a total capital repair backlog amounting to an estimated $1.5 billion as of 2016.13 This figure has likely risen in recent years due to an insufficient amount of dedicated federal and provincial funding. The Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) estimates the figure could be as high as $2.6 billion and that it would cost $65 billion to fully replace all existing community housing units.14,'S Deferred maintenance must be dealt with to ensure that community housing remains viable. Maintaining the existing community housing portfolio is the most efficient and cost-effective way to immediately provide affordable housing to those in need. It is critical that units remain in good condition. A plan with enough funding from all orders of government will help ensure a sustainable supply of safe, adequate, and well-maintained community housing units. While federal and provincial funding under the National Housing Strategy will help with the situation, the problem exceeds the funding committed to Ontario. A good next step would see the three orders of government collaborate to fully identify the magnitude of the capital repair backlog. This will help determine what is needed to address the situation. Perhaps the most serious challenge when it comes to community housing is the looming end of operating agreements, as housing providers pay off their mortgages. The federal 23 - 150 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario subsidies associated with these agreements are gradually phasing out and ending within the next decade, with a significant decrease of funding in the next five years. The problem is twofold. As mortgages end, agreements expire and funding ceases, some housing providers may no longer be financially viable and may cease to operate unless provided additional financial assistance from service system managers.4 It is promising that the federal government has committed to keeping the baseline funding from the operating agreements in the system. In other cases, without an operating agreement or funding, existing housing providers may choose to sell their units or convert them to market rentals. This would affect the housing stability of tenants and decrease the overall supply of community housing stock. At the same time, service system managers are still obligated under provincial legislation to provide the same amount of assistance to continue to meet the Service Level Standards as prescribed under the HousingServicesAct, 20�� and regulations. If housing providers take units out of the system, service system managers will be left scrambling to replace them. They may also have to provide alternate housing benefits to affected households so they can continue to afford their housing, and to prevent possible economic evictions. The end of operating agreements threatens to chip away at the supply and preservation of community housing. Municipal governments and other Service System Managers have been assessing the problem and finding solutions.5 The government is set to issue legislation to address the matter. For a transitional period, housing providers would continue to operate with a community housing mandate, unless exempted from the HousingServicesActby the Minister. While a welcome move, it is a short-term solution. Ongoing discussions are necessary to find a long-term solution for this complex issue. It is promising to see the attention paid by MMAH to working with both Service System Managers and housing providers to find solutions that work for all involved, including tenants to maintain their housing stability. Another issue affecting sustainability relates to the Ontario Works (OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the shifting of costs to service system managers. The issue is that the provincial government has set historically low rent scales for community housing tenants living in RGI units who receive OW or ODSP as their sole source of income. These rent scales have not been adjusted for decades. Under provincial rules, tenants receiving OW or ODSP benefits receive much lower amounts for shelter if they live in community housing when compared to what they would receive if they were paying rent to landlords in private buildings. This means that community housing providers receive lower rental income and require greater subsidy from service system managers to cover their operating costs. This differential is often several hundred dollars per month per rental unit, costing service system managers millions of dollars each year in additional RGI subsidy funding. 4 AMO and the Housing Services Corporation examined the issue of viability in a post-operating agreement environment. For further information see: https://share.hscorp.ca/files/208-social-housing-end-dates-in- ontario 2012-2/ 5 Housing Services Corporation has developed a resource toolkit to assist Service System Managers, see: https://share.hscorp.ca/post-slider/evaluating=pro�ects-reaching-expirv-the-service-manager-eoa-toolkit/ 24 - 151 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario In effect, low and inadequate rent scales result in a hidden municipal subsidy of provincial income support programs paid for with property tax dollars. There is also no clear rationale to explain why household rent and associated shelter allowance amounts paid to community housing providers for OW and ODSP households in receipt of RGI are less than what is paid to private landlords. There should be parity. Addressing this issue will place community housing on a more sustainable footing. In 2012, the Commission for the Review of Social Assistance for Ontario calculated the fiscal impact of outdated rent scales to service system managers at $200 million annually.16 These funds could be used to address capital repairs and to improve quality of life for tenants. Another issue relates to energy efficiency. The previous provincial government introduced capital retrofit programs to reduce green house gas emissions and create more energy efficient community housing. These programs demonstrated an immediate impact reducing operating costs for buildings. Now that the provincial cap and trade initiative has wound down, there is no more dedicated provincial funding for community housing energy retrofits. These investments improved building performance and enhanced the quality of life for tenants while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In doing so, the phased-out program filled an important need in community housing because most of Ontario's community housing buildings were built at a time when little attention was paid to energy-efficient design. Retrofits benefited vulnerable tenants by reducing the cost of their utility bills. Given the value of energy retrofit programs, Ontario's municipal governments would support the introduction of an alternative provincial funding envelope to finance energy efficiency retrofit supports in community housing. Recommendation #4�: That the provincial and federal governments commit to permanent, predictable, and sustainable base funding that supports both asset management and the renewal of community housing. Recommendation #42: That the provincial and federal governments provide sufficient and ongoing funding to help eliminate the current community housing capital repair backlog in Ontario to achieve and maintain a good state of repair. Recommendation #43.• That the provincial government work with Service System Managers to assess the impact of the end of federal operating agreements and the separate issue of end of mortgages on their community housing portfolios. Recommendation #44.• That the provincial government provide clarity and certainty regarding the obligations of community housing providers and Service System Managers upon the expiry of federal operating agreements and the end of mortgages to ensure that housing stability is maintained for existing tenants. Recommendation #45.� That the provincial government end municipal subsidy of social assistance recipients in community housing by addressing the antiquated rent scales. 25 - 152 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Recommendation #46.• That the provincial and federal governments promote environmental sustainability in community housing with dedicated funding for energy efficient retrofits that bring down energy costs and improve housing provider sustainability over the long-term. ✓ Reduce Administrative Burden to Help Service System Managers Do Their Jobs Various measures could be taken to reduce administrative burden and costs for Service System Managers and community housing providers. Top of mind are the complexities of the wait list system, which is costly and burdensome to administer. The provincial government has committed to reforming wait list administration as part of its Community Housing Renewal Strategy and has engaged with Service System Managers as it contemplates reforms. This is a positive step forward. A new, more flexible approach would allow for better management of community housing waitlists in a way that is effective and cost efficient. Simplifying Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) will also help service system managers, housing providers and tenants. The current system is costly and burdensome to administer. It is also complex and confusing for tenants. Reform as initially proposed by the government in the Community Housing Renewal Strategy should serve to bring down cost-prohibitive administration costs while making life easier for those who live in community housing if implemented appropriately. A new system that leverages the Canada Revenue Agency's Income Tax Verification System would help streamline the process. Simplification should not make any tenant materially worse off than before, nor should it increase costs for service system managers. Addressing the rent scales issue should be viewed as a complimentary exercise to RGI simplification. The reporting burden is another challenge for service system managers. While collecting data to gauge performance and make evidence-based decisions is critical, too many resources are being shifted away from front line services for administrative purposes because of intensive reporting requirements. Currently Service System Managers submit the Service Manager Annual Information Return (SMAIR). This is done in part by using data collected from individual housing providers' Annual Information Return (AIR). The SMAIR and the AIR are based on the reporting requirements set out in the Canada-Ontario Social Housing Agreement, 1999 (SHA). Separate reporting requirements for housing programs further add to the administrative burden. AMO acknowledges the importance of complying with federal funding transfer reporting requirements. However, as the programs are only part of the overall portfolio, statistical data collection and analysis is often done manually by many service system managers. The value of this information is often unclear when it comes to evaluation and policy development. AMO appreciates MMAH's efforts to streamline reporting. We look forward to the results of this provincial initiative. Federal reporting requirements under the National Housing Strategy (NHS) is a live conversation. While some reporting will be necessary to monitor and evaluate NHS initiatives, the federal government should keep in line with Ontario's shift towards reducing the reporting burden. To keep administration costs down, only necessary 26 - 153 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario data should be collected. Reporting should happen at reasonable intervals and in a transparent manner. Data that is collected on a province-wide basis should be shared with service system managers to support continuous improvement and better local service system planning. For example, it would be helpful if the Province used the 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plans submitted by each service system manager to identify common themes, activities, beneficial practices, and proposed outcomes. This information and related data should inform the growing repository of evidence-based practices. Recommendation #47.� That the provincial government simplify the administration of the RGI system for Service System Managers, community housing providers, and tenants of community housing, including addressing rent and utility scales at the same time. Recommendation #48.• That the provincial and federal governments update community housing-related reporting requirements to better support evidence-based policy decisions while reducing administrative burden and cost. Technological innovation should be leveraged to facilitate reporting and to improve data collection and analysis as well as service delivery. ✓ Increase Flexibility for Municipal Governments and Service System Managers To encourage Service System Managers to succeed and to increase the delivery of provincial and local municipal priorities, it is strongly recommended that those delivering housing services be given greater flexibility, authority, and reduced'red tape'. In particular, Service System Managers should have maximum flexibility to identify and address local priorities based on the municipal context. It is appreciated that the federal-provincial funding programs under the National Housing Strategy reflect and afford a great deal of flexibility. Two areas that would benefit from more flexibility is the application of subsidies and the management of the waiting list. Both are complex and administratively burdensome in their current form and AMO hopes waitlist administration will improve pending the implementation of reforms under the Community Housing Renewal Strategy. It is challenging to implement provincial priorities ahead of local priorities. The province- wide priorities may not always speak to the greatest need locally. It might be best if provincial priorities were guidelines for service system managers to consider. No two municipal geographies in Ontario are the same, meaning that more locally flexible and less prescriptive requirements are important. 'One-size-fits all' approaches generally do not work well where local situations vary and different housing markets exist. As it currently stands, the community housing system is designed for RGI subsidies and Portable Housing Benefits as the primary means of housing assistance. However, municipal governments are innovating with new forms of housing assistance to better match applicants with housing options and to make better use of waiting list resources. The problem is that this innovation with housing assistance is not officially recognized in the HousingServices Act, 20��and its regulations. As a result, some innovative housing supports do not count 27 - 154 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario towards Service System Managers' legislated Service Level Standards. Innovative approaches require a business case for the Minister to approve on case-by-case basis. Just as the HousingServicesAct, 20� � was amended to recently allow housing benefits to be accepted as a legitimate form of housing assistance, other forms of housing support should also be recognized. For example, condominiums are sometimes purchased and rented out to tenants at below-market rents. This kind of activity should be recognized as housing assistance. A change in this area would not cost the Province anything to implement. It would also provide added flexibility to support innovation at the local level. A good start would be for the provincial government to review the outcomes of these service system manager initiatives with the goal of identifying best practices and modernizing the service level standards. Greater flexibility is also needed for capital housing infrastructure programs. Take, for example, the'use it or lose it' approach, which refers to the inability to carry over funds from one fiscal year to the next. This funding approach makes it prohibitive to build larger housing projects in communities and is especially problematic for smaller Service System Managers. Federal-provincial capital housing programs should operate with the same flexibility as other federal and provincial infrastructure programs that allow carry-over from one fiscal year to the next. This would allow for proper planning and implementation for the best long-term housing outcomes. Recommendation #49.• The provincial government should increase local flexibility and support innovation by broadening the provincial approach to Service Level Standards to include all types of housing subsidy assistance administered by Service System Managers. Recommendation #50.• That the provincial government work with the federal government to make housing capital programs more effective by eliminating the 'use it or lose it' approach to funding and allow Service System Managers to carry over funding between fiscal years similar to other federal and provincial infrastructure programs. 3) Expanding Affordable Housing Options Steps should be taken to further facilitate the expansion of other affordable housing options in Ontario, including non-profit, co-operative and private sector projects. This will ease pressure on subsidized rental housing and fill in the gap where the private market fails to provide suitable housing for low- and moderate-income people. One challenge is that an increasing share of federal-provincial funding programs under the National Housing Strategy will be going towards financing portable housing benefits instead of the construction of new units or the repair of community housing.6 While these benefits 6 A Portable Housing Benefit is a form of financial assistance (i.e. cash allowance) provided to eligible low- income individuals and family units on municipal community housing waiting lists to help pay their rents. It is a portable benefit not tied to a particular building or landlord. With this benefit, individuals and families can 28 - 155 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario to help low-income families pay their rent are a longstanding municipal ask and a welcome tool in the municipal tool kit, funding for portable benefits cannot replace funding to build and maintain affordable housing units. This is especially important given current vacancy rates in some areas across the province. Although the recipients' ability to exercise choice in deciding where they will live in the private market is beneficial, portable housing benefits only work well in places with higher vacancy rates and ample supply of affordable, purpose-built rental. They also work well to help individuals in immediate need of housing support, such as people experiencing homelessness or survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. Federal-provincial funding programs need to strike a balance so that these initiatives can support the use of portable benefits while also contributing to the development of new housing supply. Discussion is needed to ensure that portable housing benefit-related program design provides local flexibility. Any portable housing benefit must be calculated in a way that ensures the benefit amount is enough to cover actual costs in local housing markets. Currently, survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking receive special priority on community housing waiting lists for RGI subsidies. Over the years, the Special Priority Policy (SPP) has received mixed reviews when it comes to its' effectiveness in supporting survivors. It is not always the preferred option for women, men, and families fleeing abuse. A dedicated provincially-funded portable housing allowance program specific to these survivors is the better policy option. The existing Portable Housing Benefit - Special Priority Policy program should therefore continue and be enhanced. In addition, funding should be provided to establish and maintain much needed community supports for these households. The Strong Communities Rent Supplement Program is an important housing option that is at risk. It enables service system managers to fund RGI rent supplement agreements in their communities. The program's 20-year funding commitment ends in 2022/23. The end of this program will take $50 million a year from Ontario's community housing system, reducing access to affordable housing. It will also place more vulnerable households at risk. Funding for this program must continue beyond 2023. If funding is not renewed, then a transitional funding plan will be necessary to protect tenants currently using the program. Another funding program with potential to expand housing options is the National Co- Investment Fund administered by the CMHC. AMO is pleased to see the federal government move forward with this housing infrastructure initiative. While there have been positive efforts to consult with service system managers, there are some concerns about the onerous application process and administrative and reporting burdens associated with the potential funding. The challenge, especially for smaller rural, northern and Indigenous housing providers, is that the scoring criteria reduces the chances that their projects will be approved. Many applicants have found it challenging to meet the environmental and accessibility targets while staying focused on affordability. exercise choice in the housing marketplace to choose their place of living, either in a non-profit, co-operative or private rental accommodation. It is considered an alternative form of housing assistance to traditional RGI units in community housing. 29 - 156 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario In addition, supporting documentation and professional opinions and studies currently required for the application can be both cost and resource prohibitive. AMO acknowledges that this is a new program and appreciates that the CMHC is actively learning through the process and making improvements as they go. It is essential that feedback through the National Housing Strategy Trilateral Coordination Forum and other mechanisms foster continuous improvement to ensure that housing projects are successfully approved and implemented as per the federal governmenYs plan. Affordable housing development requires stable funding with an ability to stage and plan developments over longer time periods. This allows for work with both private and non- profit developers. Municipal governments and DSSABs need to be able to engage private developers as partners in affordable development. Allowing stacking of housing funding with other government capital development programs and incentives, including through Infrastructure Ontario (IO), would help. Land is a major cost. Municipal governments provide land for affordable housing development where they can. Contributions of land from both the provincial and federal governments will also help and are needed. Access to low-rate financing would renew and expand affordable housing infrastructure. Low-rate financing can come from a broad range of sources, including both government and the private sector. On the government side, there is financing available from the CMHC and provincially from Infrastructure Ontario (IO). However, DSSABS are not able to access financing from I0. A legislative change is needed to permit this. Private sector financing is available and has great potential. However, private sector lenders are not always well versed with the realities of community and affordable housing. Therefore, the establishment of a dedicated housing lender is welcome. The Housin� Investment Corporation (HIC), which raises financing from private capital markets, is a welcome value-added addition to the housing sector. Like community housing, many affordable housing buildings that received upfront government funding but no ongoing funding face sustainability challenges of their own. This includes capital repair backlogs as the buildings age. Providing occasional assistance for these projects is worth exploring, whether it be grants or low-cost loans. Recommendation #5�: That the provincial and federal governments accompany the increasing use of Portable Housing Benefits with efforts to increase the supply of rental housing including private, non-profit, and co- operative housing. Recommendation #52: That the provincial government continue to address the housing affordability needs of survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking through dedicated community supports and an enhanced portable housing benefit program. Recommendation #53.• That the provincial government develop a strategy for the expiration of the time-limited Strong Communities Rent Supplement program to either sustain the program or manage its transition so that it doesn't cause housing instability for existing tenants. 30 - 157 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Recommendation #54.• The provincial and federal government should provide surplus or under-used crown lands to municipal governments and Service System Managers contingent on building affordable and/or'missing middle' housing solutions. Recommendation #55.� That the provincial and federal governments move expeditiously to develop their housing strategies in consultation with Indigenous communities and service providers and provide adequate resources for implementation. 4) Ending Homelessness Every Ontarian deserves a place to call home. On any given night, there are approximately 9,600 Ontarians experiencing'visible' homelessness. Around 90,000 Ontarians experience this type of homelessness a year." On the other hand, estimates suggest that as many as 80% of Ontario's homeless population experience'hidden homelessness.''$ This means that they are couch surfing, sleeping in abandoned farmhouses, or camping in remote locations. These Ontarians are difficult to track - their experiences are not captured by homeless enumeration counts and statistics. All Ontarians experiencing homelessness need immediate access to permanent housing alongside services and supports that will help them get back on their feet. Investing in Housing First approaches and supports will generate savings in the long run — homeless Ontarians are more frequent users of costly services such as ambulances, hospitals, and correctional facilities. According to the Homelessness Hub, a single-shelter bed costs Canadian provinces about $1,932 a month. A provincial jail cell costs $4,333 a month and a hospital bed costs $10,900.'g Given these costs, it is significantly cheaper to provide these Ontarians with stable housing and the supports they need to stay off the streets. An all-of-government approach is the best way to address homelessness in Ontario. To end chronic homelessness, we must break down silos across government and leverage positive working relationships between the province and the 47 Service System Managers on the front lines. Predicable, stable, and enhanced funding streams from both the provincial and federal governments are needed to improve and expand homelessness prevention programs across the province. With this in place, Service System Managers can work on the ground to eliminate chronic homelessness by 2025. Indigenous people are currently overrepresented in the homeless population. The reasons are complex and specific housing interventions are necessary. Indigenous communities and Indigenous service providers should be engaged to determine what is needed to address the unique housing challenges facing Indigenous people. The federal government should examine and modify existing approaches to address Indigenous homelessness. Recommendation #56.• That the provincial, federal, and municipal governments use an all-of-government approach to break down silos between ministries, departments, divisions and agencies, and make 31 - 158 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario commitments beyond current programs (e.g. health, income security) to address the affordable housing and homelessness crisis. Recommendation #57.• That the provincial government renew a commitment to end chronic homelessness by 2025 and work with Service System Managers on a province-wide plan to accomplish this goal. Recommendation #58.� That the provincial government sustain and increase funding for homelessness prevention and housing programs to help achieve the goal of eliminating chronic homelessness by 2025. Recommendation #59.� That the federal government enhance funding for homelessness prevention programs with a goal of expanding funding to all 47 service management areas in Ontario. Recommendation #60.• That the federal and provincial governments accelerate development of specific housing and homelessness prevention initiatives for Indigenous people in consultation with Indigenous communities and service providers. 5) Supporting People with their Health Care Needs for Successful Tenancies Access to supportive housing promotes independent living for people with complex health needs including mental health, addictions, and trauma. It allows them to stay in their communities for as long as possible and enjoy the highest quality of life available. Supportive housing assistance typically includes services like access to personal support workers, light housekeeping, meal preparation, wellness, and health promotion. People in supportive housing may also be matched with caseworkers and receive counselling, income support and life-skills training, amongst other supports. These services are necessary given the diverse health needs of people in need of housing solutions. Through Budget 2019, the provincial government committed to do a comprehensive review to identify opportunities to streamline the more than 20 supportive housing programs in Ontario with the goal of improving coordination. To better serve people with housing and health care needs, AMO encourages the province to move forward with the goal of creating 30,000 new supportive housing units in Ontario with rent subsidies. Another challenge is that in many instances community housing has become'de facto' supportive housing. This is due to the supply shortage and a lack of health service funding. Some tenants require intensive supports to maintain successful tenancies including home care, mental health, and addictions support. Community housing providers typically do not have the professional staff resources or funds to provide these critical services. Providing this type of service is not the intent of community housing. A gap results because provincially funded community services can be difficult for tenants to access. 32 - 159 - AM• Fixing the Housing Affordability Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario For these reasons, we need to start conversations on how funding from the Ministry of Health can be better used to provide more support to help people maintain stable community housing. The 2019 Ontario Budget committed an investment of $3.8 billion for mental health, addictions and housing supports over 10 years, beginning with building a mental health and addictions system. As well, a Cabinet shuffle in June 2019 created a new Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions dedicated to addressing mental health needs in local communities. Service System Managers are in the best position to inform how the new system can help tenants as well as those experiencing homelessness. Stronger, more collaborative relationships between the Province, health institutions, and Service System Managers will be key moving forward. Recommendation #6�: That the provincial government work towards a goal of establishing and maintaining 30,000 supportive housing units in the province. Recommendation #62: That the provincial government ensure systemic collaboration between the new Ontario Health Teams and Service System Managers to ensure that people in community housing and those experiencing homelessness receive the support they need to access housing, maintain stable tenancies and meet their health needs. Recommendation #63.� That the provincial government direct local health teams under the new health care system to provide supports to tenants residing in community housing that have health needs. 33 - 160 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Conclusion — Looking Forward and Next Steps In Ontario, the municipal role in housing and homelessness prevention cannot be understated. We are critical players on the front lines and make a meaningful difference for our communities with support from the provincial and federal governments. Given this role in housing, municipal governments and DSSABs are well-positioned to provide advice going forward on what is necessary to address the housing affordability and supply crisis negatively affecting our communities. The recommendations in this paper should serve as the foundation for ongoing conversations with both the provincial and federal governments. In particular, the National Housing Strategy framework creates a platform for the federal, provincial, and municipal orders of government to come together to talk about how best to improve housing outcomes for the people of Ontario. The AMO-Ontario Memorandum of Understanding political table and staff working groups should continue to help facilitate municipal-provincial discussions on the housing file. Municipal governments are on the front lines. We are ready to co-design frameworks and programs with our provincial and federal partners. Working together, we can make a meaningful difference for people in need of housing supports and fix the housing crisis. 34 - 161 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario AppendixA:AMOAffordable Housingand Homelessness Task Force Membership (2015 to 2018) Jamie McGarvey, Chair, AMO President and Mayor, Town of Parry Sound Darryl Wolk, Manager, Policy Development & Public Affairs, Ontario Municipal Social Service Association (OMSSA) Douglas Bartholomew-Saunders, Commissioner of Community Services, Region of Waterloo Eddie Alton, Director of Social Services, County of Wellington Elaine Brunn Shaw, Director of Planning, City of Cambridge Eric Duncan, Warden, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry, and Chair, Eastern Ontario Warden Caucus Helen Harris, Coordinator, Policy & Research, Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) Henry Wall, Chief Administrative Officer, Kenora District Services Board John Taylor, Councillor, Regional Municipality of York Mabel Watt, Manager, Policy Integration (CAO's Office) , Region of Halton Mark Taylor, Deputy Mayor, City of Ottawa Pam Sayne, Councillor, Township of Minden Hills Sean Gadon, Director, Affordable Housing Office, City of Toronto Sharad Kerur, Executive Director, Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) Simone Swail, Manager, Government Relations, Ontario Region, Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada Michael Jacek, Senior Advisor, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Jessica Schmidt, Policy Advisor, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Leslie Munoz, Policy Advisor, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) 35 - 162 - AM• Fixing the Housing AfFordabiliry Crisis: Municipal Recommendations for Housing in Ontario Appendix 6: Summary of Recommendations Increasing the Supply of Affordable Market Housing for Families ✓ Streamline to Speed Up the Approval Process by Addressing Implementation Challenges Recommendation #�: That municipal governments continue to work to ensure that zoning by-laws are up to date with official plans.

We made these legislative changes to improve public transparency, consistency, and accountability in conservation authority operations. These changes will give greater control to individual municipalities on conservation authority programs and budgets. These changes will also require conservation authorities to re-focus their efforts on the delivery of programs and services related to their core mandate, such as those related to: • Risk of natural hazards; • Conservation and management of CA owned or controlled lands; • Drinking water source protection; • Protection of the Lake Simcoe watershed; • Other programs or services, as prescribed by regulation. Furthermore, over the coming months, I will be reviewing all of the relevant legislation and regulations that govern Ontario's conservation authorities to explore even more opportunities to re-focus their efforts and to ensure they are best serving the interests of the people of Ontario. In the meantime, I request that you review and consider your own conservation authority's activities and begin preparations and planning to wind down those activities that fall outside the scope of your core mandate. I also encourage you to refrain from developing new policies that are not aligned with your mandate or with provincial policies. Finally, I ask that while we are undergoing this review and updating the legislation and regulations that you do not proceed with any increases to your fees or levies. I appreciate the work of conservation authorities and the feedback that was provided on the legislative changes. I look forward to receiving further input and recommendations as we move forward with upcoming regulatory and policy proposals.

Hold a local referendum letting the citizens decide to amalgamate or not. 2.

Conduct an evidence-based study to show that amalgamation actually saves costs, jobs, lowers taxes and reduce the provincial deficit. 3.

The ministry is also proposing to make supporting amendments to Ontario Regulation 277/99 to streamline the regulatory approval process for accepting municipalities into Ontario's Red Light Camera Program (RLC) program. Together, these amendments respond to municipal requests by permitting interested municipalities to: a) adopt, at their discretion, ASE systems in school zones and community safety zones on roads with a speed limit under 80km/h in order to address speeding; and, b) gain acceptance into Ontario's Red Light Camera (RLC) program, through a streamlined process. The introduction of ASE systems in municipalities in Ontario and streamlining RLC authorization will respond to stakeholders concerns and requests, while underscoring the government's commitment to vulnerable road user safety and to keeping our communities safe. This initiative will impose no regulatory impact on vehicle operators or owners that comply with road safety regulations, and no impact on businesses in Ontario. However, owners of vehicles that are used to violate speed limits in community safety or school zones where ASE systems are used would be fined. In support of the new legislative amendments under the regulatory and policy framework that the province will be developing, municipalities will be responsible for all aspects of an ASE program administration, including the installation of devices, location selection, and the processing and distribution of evidence and tickets. This approach is flexible and allows municipalities to maintain status quo or to introduce these new road safety tools based on local safety concerns. Ontario continues to be recognized as a world leader in road safety as a result of its tough laws, strong enforcement and the dedication of our many road safety partners. For the past 15 years, Ontario's roads have consistently ranked either first or second in road safety in North America. Research demonstrates that lower speeds and ASE in school zones and community safety zones can be expected to reduce serious injuries and fatalities. Developing a supporting regulatory framework demonstrates the government's commitment to injury prevention and to keeping the province's communities safe and strong by reducing speeding and speed-related collisions. Analysis of Regulatory Impact: Regulatory Changes To support the legislative changes passed under Bill 65, The Safer School Zones Act, 2017, the ministry plans to bring forward supporting ASE regulations to outline various operational, procedural and evidentiary requirements for the ASE program. These requirements may include such things as a description of how photographs are to be used as evidence, the types of ASE system technology that may be used by municipalities, and a description of enforcement procedures for any resulting Provincial Offences Act charges. Please note that because automated enforcement technologies are only able to identify plate and vehicle used in the commission of the offence and not necessarily the offending driver, driver-based penalties such as demerit points and licence suspensions will not apply under the ASE program. - 174 - https://www.ontariocanada.com/registry/view.do?postingId=30227&language=en 9/6/2019 Page 2 of 2 With respect to Ontario's Red Light Camera Program, the ministry is proposing changes to Ontario Regulation 277/99 in support of amendments made under the safer School Zone Act, 2017, to streamline municipal authorization to use RLCs. Of note, this proposal will remove reference to municipalities, by name, in Regulation 277/99. Ultimately, the overarching goal of the government's regulatory framework for ASE and RLCs is to enhance road safety in municipalities across the province. We invite your comments and look forward to hearing your feedback.

Yours truly, C. Tarling Director of Legislated Services & City Clerk - 177 - To: Copy: From: Subject: Pickering Public LIBRARY Memorandum Mayor Ryan and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer City Clerk The City of Pickering Public Library Board #econtent for Libraries campaign Corr. 28-19 At its meeting of August 22, 2019 The City of Pickering Public Library Board passed a motion (#19.62) recommending that the City of Pickering Council be requested to adopt the following draft motion regarding the #econtent for Libraries campaign. Background: Earlier this year the Canadian Urban Library Council began a campaign targeting the federal government to bring awareness to the issues surrounding digital content in public libraries in Canada. Details about the topic and the concerns surrounding digital content are found in the attached report but the concerns are in two areas: the high costs of digital materials for libraries and the strict (and becoming stricter) licensing limitations. The Canadian Urban Library Council has asked all of its members (including The City of Pickering Public Library) to request Municipal support on this issue. Draft Motion: WHEREAS, the City of Pickering recognizes the important role that libraries play in our community; And Whereas, libraries and the early literacy programs that they run are integral to developing proficient readers and ensuring that children succeed in school; And Whereas, more and more, digital literacy programs run by libraries also help ensure that citizens can contribute to our digital world; And Whereas, vulnerable demographic groups, including seniors, low income families, youth, and new Canadians rely on access to libraries as an important tool for their participation in the community — from education to searching for jobs to consuming Canadian cultural materials; And Whereas, libraries in our community recognize that our users increasingly seek to access e- content offered by multinational publishers, and that access to those publications is too often curtailed by prohibitively high licensing fees or else entirely denied to Canadian libraries; - 178 - Page 2 And Whereas, libraries must be in a position to offer e-content to their users as part of their service offering to our community, particularly given the contemporary rapid pace of digitization of educational and cultural materials, Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the City of Pickering does hereby: 1. Indicate its support for the Canadian libraries in their efforts to increase access to e-content for library users in the City of Pickering and across Canada; 2. Call on the Federal government to investigate the barriers faced by libraries in acquiring e- content and the problems that poses for vulnerable demographic groups in Canada; and 3. Further ask the Federal government to develop a solution that increases access to e- content across Canada and assists libraries in meeting the cost requirements to acquire digital publications. Attachments: Canadian Urban Library Council information on Accessing Econtent - 179 - Attachment # 1 to Corr. 28-19 I��Canadian ttrbaav Libraries Countil Conscii dc� Bibliothtques Vr6aimea du Canada Accessing E-Content Key Messages July 2Q 19 • Even with significant expenditures to access e-content, libraries increasingly struggle to obtain digita! publications from multinational pubiishers, due to other cost pressures and because of the often-strict licensing limirations applied to digitai pubfications. � In order to properly service our communities — including vulnerable groups that benefit from library access, like seniors, lower income individuals, and youth at risk —we need to ensure that we have access to and can afford digital publications. � Publishers, primarily headquartered outside Canada, are limiting access to digiul publications by Canadian libraries, and, even when a publication is made available, are making it prohibitively expensive to acquire most e-publications, By way of example, Canadian author Louise Penny's book'Kingdom of the Blind' is available to libraries for $13 as a paperback, $22 in hard cover and $60 in digital fo�m. The $60 cost allows the book to be checked out electronically 52 times or for 2 years — whichever happens fi�st. A paper edition would be expected to last 3 to 4 years at a substantially reduced cost. The book is currently not available to Canadian libraries in any e-audio format. • Those rest�ictions and cosu make it difticult for (ibraries to provide important services that contribute to thriving and engaged communities. Libraries and the early literacy p�ograms that they �un are integral to developing proficient readers and ensuring that chi4dren succeed in school. More and more, digital literacy programs also help ensure that citizens can contribute to our digital world. � Additionally, for many seniors, low income families, youth, and new Canadians, libraries are a crucial tool fo� participation in thei� communities — from education to searching for jobs to consuming Canadian cultural mate�ials. • Barriers to libraries accessing digiral publications hamper our capacity to provide modern, digitized services to those demographic groups and to other iibrary users. This is exacerbated when some publications — especially foreign language texts — may only be avaitable to us in digital forms. • We are asking municipal leaders to recognize the important roie that libraries play in our communities and to help us advocate for a solution to the barriers that Canadian libraries face in accessing digital publications. • We are also asking our Members of Parliament, as well as candidates from all parties in Federal Election 2019, to recognize that libraries serve important demographic groups, by providing access to materials that allow them to learn and grow, and that the Federal government has a key role to play in ensuring that Canadian (ibraries can meet the growing demand for digital publications. - 180 - ,, ♦ Chatham-Kent , C;u,�i,v�j G�,aw�,, S�,o�,e �o S�,oh,e.

Be it therefore resolved that, the Council of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent forward a letter to local MPPs, the Attorney General and the Premier of Ontario (and all municipalities in Ontario) • expressing its strong support for Legal Aid Ontario and its funding of Ontario's community legal clinics, and specifically the Chatham-Kent Legal Clinic, which provides legal services to low income and vulnerable Ontarians; • expressing its strong opposition to the funding cuts imposed on Legal Aid Ontario by the provincial government; • calling upon the Premier and the Attorney General to make a commitment to access to justice and to respect the commitment of their government to not decrease front line services; and • urging the province to restore full funding to these critical services to ensure that all the residents of Chatham-Kent have access to a fair and equitable justice system, regardless of their incomes."

That the zoning by-law amendment to implement Zoning By-law Amendment Application A 06/19, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 20-19 and as further revised to include the changes itemized in the September 18, 2019 Memorandum from the Director, City Development & CBO, be forwarded to Council for enactment; and - 183 - 3. Further to Recommendation 1.(b), as a condition of the conveyance of the South Block Lands to OPB Realty Inc., the City shall retain stratified land parcels to accommodate a public road of a minimum 14.5 metres in width and a pedestrian walkway of a minimum 8.0 metres in width as depicted on Special Figure 6.13.2 (a) of Zoning By-law 7553/17 as amended by By-law 7713/19, and that the construction of the public road and walkway shall be secured through any future site plan and/or development agreements for the South Block Lands. Rationale The Conceptual Master Plan for the City Centre redevelopment was provided as Attachment #1 to Report PLN 20-19. That Plan identifies a podium height of 22 metres on the City-owned lands (the South Block Lands). The text of the Report and the draft by-law incorrectly identified the podium height of 21 metres. This error has been corrected in the revised Recommendation and in Special Figure 6.13.2(a) of the amending by-law presented to Council for adoption. Further, the areas on Special Figure 6.13.2 (a) permitting the 121-metre and 9-metre maximum building heights have been refined to more closely match the proposed tower locations. A revised Conceptual Master Plan has been received from Cushman Wakefield illustrating a public road connection of a minimum 14.5 metres and a pedestrian walkway of a minimum 8.0 metres through the South Block Lands (see Attachment — Master Concept Plan, dated 2019-09-06). New Recommendation 3 requires the City to retain strata land parcels to accommodate the future road and walkway connections through the South Block Lands, and to secure their construction through future site plan and development agreements for the South Block Lands. Section 6.13.1 a), Zone Provisions and Special Figure 6.13.2(a), of the amending by-law presented to Council for adoption, now illustrates the width and location of these connections, and restricts above ground structures from being located in the area for the connections. The revised concept plan revealed building placement at zero, or near zero lot lines, to provide the road and walkway connections. Accordingly, the amending by-law has been revised to permit a zero metre setbacks (see Section 6.13.1 c) of the By-law). Staff also identified another potential zoning issue. Therefore, the amending by-law has been revised to include a reduction in the minimum podium height from 10.5 metres to 9.0 metres (see Section 6.13.1 d) of the By-law. Representatives of Cushman Wakefield indicated the location of the 50-storey apartment building may move south by about 5.0 metres. Consequently, the size of the cross-hatched area identifying the zone within which the 50-storey building must be located was increased by a further 5.0 metres in a southerly direction (see Special Site Figure 6.3.5 (a) of the By-law).

That the attached Appraisal Reports prepared by D. Bottero & Associates Limited be received for information; 3. That staff be directed to continue detailed discussions with Cushman & Wakefield and OPB Realty Inc. toward finalizing the construction cost estimates and final Memorandum of Understanding; and 4. That staff bring forward a staffing implementation plan for the City Centre project during the 2020 budget process. Executive Summary: The attached two reports are intended to validate both the construction cost estimates related to the Pickering City Centre project and the fairness of the land exchange between the City of Pickering and OPB Realty Inc. ("OPB"). In summary, the cost comparison report prepared by an independent third party does not raise any serious issues, and provides some recommendations to help inform future negotiations. As well, the Appraisal Reports clearly indicate that the land exchange benefits the City of Pickering and that no bonusing is involved. Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications related to this report. Please refer to Report FIN 15-19 for the business case and financial strategy (Attachment No. 1). Discussion: 1. Cost Comparison As part of the process of developing a business case and long-term financial plan for the City Centre project, and prior to presenting this business case to the July 22, 2019 Special Meeting of - 186 - CAO 09-19 September 23, 2019 Subject: Comparison of Cost Estimates for Pickering City Centre Page 2 Council, staff reached out to Independent Project Managers (IPM) to review the estimates provided by Cushman & Wakefield and the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in an effort to obtain an independent peer review. The purpose of this peer review was to ensure the City of Pickering was receiving fair value for contracted works related to the construction of three public buildings and one layer of underground parking under a single source scenario. IPM's review of the construction cost estimates differ by approximately 2 per cent when compared to the Cushman & Wakefield estimates. In the context of the total project, this is not considered to be a significant variance, and staff will utilize this comparison to drill down deeper prior to finalizing the cost estimates for the various contracts. To alleviate any concerns related to subsurFace soil conditions, a separate memo with attached soil reports was sent to Council on September 16t" confirming the suitability of the existing soil conditions. IPM has also provided some input with respect to the draft MOU, and these comments will be taken into consideration as we finalize the MOU. IPM has also suggested providing a contingency amount to the construction estimates. This is normally done by staff prior to a final contract award. The IPM report recommends that the City consider engaging an outside consultant to perform the following tasks: project management, contract administration and or cost specialist. However, the need for these additional staffing resources will be dependent upon the final terms of the MOU. 2. Appraisal A key element of the MOU is the land exchange between the City and OPB. The MOU contemplates that the City will transfer fee simple title in the South Esplanade block to OPB in exchange for a combination of title and long term leases sufficient to accommodate the City's new Library, PerForming Arts Center, Seniors & Youth Center and underground parking, all as described in Report CAO 07-19. The Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor retained the services of D. Bottero & Associates Limited to obtain certified property appraisals of the South Esplanade block and of the real estate interests to be conveyed to the City. The purpose of the appraisals was to ensure that the City gets fair value for the real estate it is contributing. The MOU originally contemplated that OPB would convey strata parcels (air rights) to the City to accommodate the City's new facilities, together with a 99 year lease of one level (350 parking spaces) in OPB's new underground parking structure. The use of air rights is appropriate, given that the City facilities were to be located on top of a new underground parking structure which would remain in the ownership of OPB. Air rights would enable OPB to remain the owner of the underground parking structure, while the City owns the facilities located above. Because the City would be transferring fee simple title in the South Esplanade block to OPB, and because fee simple real estate interests have a higher value than air rights, the appraisals identified a gap in value between the City's lands and OPB's lands. ("Fee simple" is the most complete form of land ownership. "Air rights" are a form of land ownership in which title is limited in terms of height and/or depth.) The City's South Esplanade block was valued at $7,925,000, while the real estate interests to be conveyed to the City were valued at $3,470,000. In order to bridge this gap, and to CORP0227-07/01 revised - 187 - CAO 09-19 September 23, 2019 Subject: Comparison of Cost Estimates for Pickering City Centre Page 3 ensure that the City was getting appropriate consideration for its South Esplanade block, City staff have negotiated changes to the MOU. In addition to the real estate rights originally set out in the MOU, the City will now receive: (a) a 99 year lease of the 2500 m2 public square space adjacent to the new City facilities; (b) an additional 5000 ft.2 of storage space to be added to the City's 99 year lease of underground parking; and (c) conversion of the City's title to the new PerForming Arts Center from a strata parcel (air rights) to fee simple title. City staff obtained further input from D. Bottero & Associates Limited on the impact of these changes to the MOU. The result of these changes will be to increase the value of the real estate interests being transferred to the City from $3,470,000 to $7,728,365. This brings the value of the lands being given to the City to within $196,635 of the appraised value of the City's South Esplanade block. However, since the south block will now incorporate a 14.5 m road allowance and an 8 m wide pedestrian walkway to accommodate the CAPREIT lands to the south, the City's lands to be conveyed will be reduced by 0.217 acres. This reduces the value of the City's South Esplanade block to $7,165.500. The result is that the City will be receiving real estate worth $562,865 more than the land it is contributing.

While the following comments address issues related to each building and structure, each have a common theme with regards to clarity of the intent of the Memorandum of Understanding. In summary: E 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd The Memorandum of Understanding, although non-binding does contain some items that we consider could be financially challenging to the City of Pickering moving forward. These items are detailed in Section 3. Generally, the issues require clarification and some negotiation. The intent of the Memorandum of Understanding would benefit from a"definitions" section so as to provide a better understanding of the roles, contract types and related fees. An organization chart would also provide clarity. Section 2 of this report addresses the comparison between the Cushman Wakefield submission of cost estimates (provided by PCL Construction Canada Inc.) and those prepared by Altus Group as part of this submission. Generally the comparisons are as follows: Library* Seniors & Youth Centre** Performing Arts Centre Parking Structure Bridge Link City Lands Landscaping*** Total (Excl. HST) CUSHMAN WAKEFIELD $30,372,529 $23,416,500 $41,267,774 $20,878,723 $5,282,327 $7,123,893 $128,341,746 ALTUS GROUP $32,364,233 $26,31 1,668 $39,139,275 $22,748,290 $3,400,327 $7,123,893 $131,087,686 * There is a potential for a higher cost up to $4,000,000 (as reflected in the Altus Group budget attached) for enhanced materials or equipment as suggested by the City's Facilities Section. A business case will have to be prepared to determine if the higher level material cost will result in a lower operating cost. - 192 - �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus � �',rr,i +� 19007 Cost Comparison Report-FINAL.wpd ** *** There is a potential for a higher cost up to $2,900,000 (as reflected in the Altus Group budget attached) for enhanced materials or equipment as suggested by the City's Facilities Section. A business case will have to undertaken to determine if the higher level material cost will result in a future lower operating cost. There is a risk that the landscaping costs could be higher unless there is an adjustment to material selected and or final design. • The attached cost comparison reports as prepared by the Altus Group detail the anticipated project costs. • The Potential Risk Assessment Summary contained in Section 4, outlines the perceived risk factors. • Generally, the risks identified to-date are due to a lack of design information that should be addressed when the project moves into the detailed design phase which should also address the method of delivery for the project. Depending upon the construction contract terms, there may be a need for additional budgeted costs as follows: Overall Construction Contingency $ 5,626,400.00 Project Management, Contract Administration & $ 3,877,500.00 Cost Control (4 year duration) It should be noted that this project is complex in nature. Strict control of design will be required to adhere to the budget. It is our understanding that Contracts and Change Orders will need to be issued to each of the projects individually to enable the various funding arrangements to be accurate. - 193 - 2 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� 2. � Altus��'rr,{ �� Cost Comparison For a detailed comparison of the estimated costs, referto Altus Group's Elemental Cost Summary Order of Magnitude (Class D) Estimate and Peer Review Summary attached herein. This assignment includes a peer review of the budget estimates provided in the Pickering Town Centre Budget package report prepared by Cushman Wakefield (C+W) dated May 23, 2019. The C+W report includes a summary of the budgets for the following six development components of the Pickering Town Centre redevelopment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Seniors and Youth Centre (S&Y Centre) Library Addition including a Roof Terrace/Patio Arts Centre (including Multi-Purpose space) Bridge Link (between the Library and the S&Y Centre Below Grade Parking Structure (allocation of 350 parking stalls) Site Development (City Centre site only) The C+W report includes an estimate of the hard construction costs, the soft costs (consultants design and engineering fees, etc, permit and development costs, C+W administration fees, and an allocation of marketing expenses. The C+W estimates exclude the harmonized sales tax (HST). The total project costs for the overall development shown in the C+W report the Pickering Town Centre components is $128,341 ,800 (rounded) excluding HST. As the initial step in the peer review process, we have confirmed the gross floor areas for the various development components in the Pickering Town Centre scope are close to the areas measured from the schematic floor and site plans provided in the C+W reports. 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 194 ' 3 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus��'rr,{ �� Summarized below are the Gross Floor Areas for the Pickering Town Centre components: AREA C+W ALTUS GROUP VARIANCE GFA (m2) GFA (m2) Seniors & Youth Centre Ground Floor 3344 3361 -17 Level 2 2549 2573 -24 Subtotal 5893 5934 -41 Library Ground Floor 1506 1531 -25 Level 2 942 970 -28 Level 3 1409 1437 -28 Level 4 321 391 -70 Subtotal 4178 4329 -151 Performing Arts Centre Ground Floor & Level 3624 3637 -13 2 Subtotal 3624 3637 -13 Bridge Link Level 2 120 Su btota I 120 Site Development Ground Level 10030 Subtotal 10030 TOTAL 13695 24050 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 195 � 4 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus��'rr,{ �� Site Area Graphic City Centre Site Area = 10,030 m2 (107,963 SF) net of the building footprint areas , f �' f r' r 4 � 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 196 � �J �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus��'rr,{ �� Project Contingencies Depending on the type of contract executed for the procurement of the project, the hard construction contingency could fall into the overall Total Project in the case of a guaranteed maximum upset stipulated sum where the contractortakes the risk for potential cost increases during the construction phase. In other words, a fixed price contract would reduce the contingencies being carried. The budgets included in the C+W report include the following contingencies: 1. Hard Construction Contingency of 10% 2. Soft Cost - Design Consultant Contingency of 5% (approximately) In our opinion, the contingencies are dependent upon the terms of the negotiated contract that will determine the level of contingency risk. Depending upon the terms of the negotiated contract there may be a risk that the C+ W budgets, do not include any consideration for escalation from the time of the estimates through to start of construction or the potential escalation during the construction stage. The Altus Group peer review introduces a design and pricing contingency and an escalation contingency. Both contingencies are based on a percentage of the estimated hard construction costs. As a minimum, we have recommended a design and pricing contingency of 10% and an escalation contingency of 8%. The assumed timeframes related to the escalation calculations are summarized below: Design Start - Summer 201 9 Start of Construction - July 2020 Targeted Completion Date (as per the C+W Memorandum of Understanding) - July 2023 Construction Duration - 36 months Escalation Duration - July 2019 to July 2021 = 2 years Escalation Rate - 4% per annum x 2 years = 8% (straight-line calculation) In addition to the design and pricing and escalation contingency, the Altus peer review continues to show a construction contingency. This contingency is meant to cover the potential cost increases during the construction stage of the projects. This contingency would also be used to cover potential risks for the City of Pickering. 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 197 � 6 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus��'rr,{ �� For reporting purposes, the Altus peer review shows the design and pricing contingency and the escalation in the estimate totals that relate directly to the budgets prepared by C+W. The design and pricing contingency is meant to be consumed during the design stage. The escalation contingency would be consumed in the time required to complete the pre-construction stage including an allowance for the potential escalation during the construction stage. Both contingencies would be under the control of the C+W team. The construction contingency has been pulled out of the budget totals directly related to the C+W budgets and shown separately. This contingency is meant to cover cost increases during the construction phase of each project. This contingency would normally be under the control of the Owner (City of Pickering) and held outside the hard construction budget under the control of the C+W team. For review purposes, we have assumed the earliest construction could start would be July 2020, which provides approximately 1 1 to 12 months to complete the pre-construction stages and obtain all the approvals required to begin construction. If construction could begin in July 2020, and the anticipated date for completion is accepted as August 21, 2023, this leaves a 36 month duration for the construction phase. We recommend the City considercommissioning an independent Project Manager to manage and administer the project development on behalf of the City. The PM would also provide an element of peer review on the project budget, constructability, risk management, schedule review and monitoring of the construction process. In addition to the PM services, we are recommending the City consider commissioning a cost consultant to monitor the construction costs, provide risk management and review any changes in the scope of work during the construction phase. The cost consultant could also provide monthly project monitoring services with the review and recommendation for payments to C+W and the contractors. 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 198 � 7 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus� � Benchmarks - Hard Construction Costs The hard construction budgets in the C+W report for the Seniors & Youth Centre and the Library are based on detailed estimates from PCL Construction. The C+W budget for the Arts Centre is based on a benchmark average cost per SF (as a range) provided by Tuner & Townsend Cost Consultants. For the purposes of the C+W budget, the upper end of the range at $650/SF was used in development of the budget for the Art Centre building. In an effort to check the C+W budget, Altus developed an independent Order of Magnitude Estimate in the elemental format for the Art Centre building based on the preliminary schematic design drawings. Altus has measured the basic elemental quantities from the drawings (including the building cladding area) and applied benchmark historical elemental costs to develop a complete elemental estimate for the Art Centre building. Based on the independent elemental analysis, the average cost per square footfor the Art Centre works out to $696 per SF based on a gross floor area of 39,138 SF (3637 m2) measured from the schematic drawings. The gross floor area being shown in C+W report for the Arts Centre is lower at 36,152 SF (3359 m2). A difference of about 2,986 SF (278 m2). Altus used the higher gross floor area for the elemental analysis to confirm the C+W budget. Historical cost data forthe hard construction costs forthe othertwo building types in the Pickering Town Centre development are summarized below: • Seniors & Youth Centres - range from $285/SF to $450/SF • Library Additions - range from $325/SF to $550/SF • Arts Centre - range for $450/SF up to $1,000 per SF or higher All of the buildings in the Pickering Town Centre development fall within the historical cost ranges for these building types. The C+W budgets for each building include a summary of the project soft costs for design consultants. In most cases, the soft cost budgets are supported by a detailed breakdown of these costs. We find the budgets forsoft costs being carried in the C+W report to be fair and reasonable. These budgets range from 5% to 1 1% of the hard construction costs depending on the building type and fall within the expected range for these costs. 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 199 � 8 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus��'rr,{ �� Peer Review Recommendations The following is a list of recommendations based on the Altus Group peer review: E 3 � 5 � E 3 Depending upon the terms of the fixed price contract, there may be the need for the City to carry a hard construction contingency in the overall project costs. We recommend the City request additional back up for the budget being shown by C+W for the library roof terrace/patio and the Bridge Link. The budget for both of these elements of the project requires more substantiation. We find the budgets being allocated to the City for the below grade parking stalls at an average of $55,161 per stall to be reasonable for below grade parking. We recommend the City requestthe developerto provide a comprehensive project schedule demonstrating the proposed project milestones can be achieved for each component of the development. We recommend the City consider developing a more comprehensive development contractfor each component ofthe project including the roles and responsibilities in the contractual relationships between the primary parties (C+W, PCL, consultants and the subcontractors and the City of Pickering). We recommend the City of Pickering engage the services of a Project Manager and a Cost Consultant to administer the complex contracts in order to keep control of the design, cost and schedule. The numbers in the peer review report exclude the City's portion of the HST. The peer review excludes any evaluation or appraisal of land involved in the City Centre Development.

Memorandum of Understanding The construction method of delivery mentioned in the Cushman & Wakefield Budget Package dated May 23, 2019 utilizes a CCDC 5B Construction Management Contract for Services and Construction. However, a CCDC 5B contract is not mentioned in the Memorandum of Understanding. The Cushman Wakefield Budget Package is not referenced either. While the Memorandum of Understanding clearly states that it is a non-binding, it does contain some commitments that will define the Agreements moving forwa rd. It is recommended that the fee for construction management be negotiated or otherwise not addressed at this time. The Memorandum of Understanding could state a Construction Management Fee to be negotiated. The structure for the method of delivery for this project refers to a number of agreements: • A Library Construction Management Agreement (the Library CMA fee). • A City Development Manager Agreement (4.5% of project costs). • The Seniors & Youth Centre Construction Management Agreement with PTC Ownerships. • The Arts Centre Construction Management Agreement (with City Development Manager). • The Parking Structure Construction Management Agreement with the PTC Ownership Development Manager receiving a 4.5% free. • Any construction contract, Architect's contract and Consultant Agreements will be entered into directly between the City and such Contractor, Architect and other Consultants. Reviewing the Cushman Wakefield Budget Package dated May 23, 2019, the method of delivery appears to be: • A CCDC 5B contract with PCL Construction for the project. • Othercontracts forthe Design Team and ManagementTeam would follow standard methods of engagement. •�i �� It is recommended that the Memorandum of Understanding be very specific regarding agreements and contracts together with roles and responsibilities. � Altus��'rr,{ �� 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 214 ' � 0 �W� �� P1�KE R� N� � Altus� � The Memorandum of Understanding also states that the City Development Manager will prepare monthly draws for verification and payment by the City of Pickering. Under normal practice, the draw is verified independently by the Architect and Sub-Consultants on behalf of the Owner. The general comments above apply to the Library project method of delivery, although there is some additional clarification required. For this project specifically, it states that the City of Pickering will enter into a Construction Management Agreement with the City Development Manager. The Memorandum of Understanding addresses this portion of the project in a different manner whereby the City enter into a Construction Management Agreement with PTC Ownership, who will then engage Cushman Wakefield as the Agent and Manager for the PTC group. The method of delivery is structured whereby the City will enter into a Construction Management Agreement with the City Development Manager. With regard to the project, the Memorandum of Understanding states "an Arts Centre containing up to 600 seats". This suggests there is a maximum but no minimum requirement. Perhaps this should read "approximately 600 seats" or be further clarified. The delivery approach to this project states that the City will enter into a procurement, design and Construction Management Agreement with PTC Ownership. It states that the City will pay all costs related to the design, construction and maintenance of the structure. It further states that if the City decides to charge for parking, there will be a revenue sharing arrangement with PTC. Since the 350 parking spots are exclusive to the City and the City is paying all costs, it should be the decision of the City and financial benefit only to the City of Pickering, should they elect to charge for parking. 19007 Cost Comparison Report-REVISED FINAL.wpd - 215 � � � �W� �� P1�KE R� N� 4.

Executive Summary: This report and corresponding analysis focuses on analyzing the financial impact of the Civic Centre project (including relocation of services) on the short and medium term financial health of the City. The report does not attempt to answer the question are the facilities needed. It is understood that this question has been addressed and or answered to the satisfaction of Members of Council and Pickering residents. The analysis and recommendations are based on known information to date. There are still information gaps (impact of Bill 108), final construction costs that may have an impact on the project and therefore, the City. This report tries to answer the question — what is the impact on the Civic Centre project on Pickering's finances on a short and medium term basis? The analysis assumes that operational costs related to this project such as increased staffing and utility costs related to the buildings and corresponding programs, will be funded through the Current Budget through a budget levy increase. In other words, when the buildings are finished and opened, there will be an increase in FIN 15-19 July 22, 2019 Subject: Civic Centre Multi-Year Financial Stress Test Page 3 the property tax levy to fund these operational costs. However, Pickering residents will be able to enjoy the wealth and range of new programs while being asked to fund the operating and programming costs. The analysis and modelling shows that under a fixed cost contract scenario, the Civic Centre project can proceed based on the concept that the Casino revenues will basically fund the capital/debt costs of the project. This analysis shows that under various cost scenarios (worst, most likely and best) there are sufficient Casino revenue dollars even after sharing some of the Casino dollars with Durham Region starting in 2021, to fund the project with zero and/or minimal impact on the Pickering taxpayer. The known and unknown impacts of Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 as it relates to development charges has been considered in the financial stress test modelling. Under the old Development Charge (DC) rules, the City was permitted to run a deficit balance or negative position in its DC reserve funds and the funding shortfall was recovered through the next DC Background Study through higher DC fees. Bill 108 does not explain how deficit DC reserve balances are to be transferred to the new Community Benefit Charge By-law (CBC) or if the deficit is to be recovered over time from the new CBC. Therefore, for the worst case scenario, no DC debt was considered as a funding source for the Civic Centre project. The shortfall in development charge funding was transferred to the City and funded as City debt. The issue regarding the treatment of DC debt should be resolved and/or known by the end of October when the corresponding Provincial regulations are issued. Bill 108 has created an environment where there is an opportunity to either keep the old development charge rules or to move to the new system — Community Benefit Charge or CBC. For Pickering, it would be prudent to maximize the funding under the old Development Charge rules for soft services (libraries, indoor recreation facilities and parking facilities) due to the fact they will expire by December 31, 2020 and under the new system (CBC) it appears to be a less favourable funding model. As shown in the report, proceeding with the Civic Centre project translates into the City incurring a high level of debt for the three buildings. However, the City's financial picture is about to change with the Casino revenues and the projected Casino revenue stream should be strong enough to fund the City share of debt charges associated with this project. In other words, the Casino funds are being used to create a financial status quo when you consider the debt charges for the project. Every project has various levels or degrees of risk. The financial modelling exercise through the scenario analysis tried to quantify the risk and pressure test Pickering's finances. Where possible, a conservative approach was used in the quantitative modelling. The financial strategy is based on the City using Casino revenues to fund the capital construction cost. The City has no history of Casino revenues. In discussions with industry experts, a Casino revenue stream was developed and used in the modelling exercise. However, the casino revenue stream is a projection based on other casino's revenue history. What makes the Pickering revenue stream projection somewhat different is the fact that you will now have two casinos in relatively close proximity and therefore makes the revenue projection a bit more challenging. ��S' FIN 15-19 July 22, 2019 Subject: Civic Centre Multi-Year Financial Stress Test Page 4 Pickering's Casino should do well because it has several gaming success factors: located near a large population, the facility can be easily accessed, will provide future hotel accommodations, and new gaming facilities are always attractive. The above factors should translate into a strong future revenue stream for the City. However, there are uncontrollable factors that can have an effect on the City's short term Casino revenue stream such as economic slowdown and or geopolitical events such as trade disputes that can affect the economy. Over the last twenty years, the City hasn't constructed many new facilities except for the Operations Centre, George Ashe Library & Community Centre, expansion of Recreation Complex (grant funded project) and Pickering Soccer Centre (partially funded by the Pickering Soccer Club and development charges). New buildings and/or facilities were not constructed due to low assessment growth and the City's approach to having a moderate level of property tax increases. For many years, Pickering had the lowest property tax rate among the Durham Lakeshore municipalities. Pickering's budgets over the last several years were in most part focused on maintaining the City's facilities, service levels, and infrastructure. An argument could be made that over time, Pickering has incurred a facilities deficit and that the Civic Centre project is addressing this facilities shortfall in one dramatic step. Financial Implications: The Civic Centre financial stress model was based on three cost/funding scenarios: most likely, worst case and best case. A comparison of the three scenarios is presented below based on a total known cost to date. The project cost figures below are based on May 23, 2019 cost estimates (provided by Cushman & Wakefield) for the construction of the three buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment and estimated servicing costs (relocation of services). ���5 FIN 15-� 9 5ubject: Civic Centre MU[ti-Year Financial Stress Test Cvnstruction Cost Fundir�g Pian Ga�ernmerrt Grant Naming Rights C1C Fundin�: DC Reser�es E]C Reserv� Debt � ity Rese r�es City Share (oebt} Totaf ❑C Reser�e aebt �ity 5hare [Debtj Tvta!

FIN 15-19 July 22, 2019 Subject: Civic Centre Multi-Year Financial Stress Test Page 6 The most likely scenario is based on the current status as it relates to the Civic Centre project. In other words, this scenario only includes naming rights revenue for the Library and no senior level of grant funding. However, in the future, there may be smaller levels of grant funding associated with accessibility that the City would apply for. Members of Council may recall that the City applied for grant funding for the Council Chamber renovation project and was not successful. However, staff were successful in obtaining minor level grant funding (Federal) under the accessibility umbrella for the first floor Civic Complex washroom renovation. Staff will monitor and apply for all grant opportunities associated with this project. The worst case scenario reflects the unknown impact of Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 as it relates to development charges. The Bill was introduced as part of the Provincial Government's Housing Supply Action Plan and it affects 13 Acts. The most significant changes to the Development Charges Act (DCA) are: • Parks, indoor recreation, libraries, parking and studies associated with these soft services are to be removed from the Development Charge Act. These costs will now be funded under a new Community Benefit Charge By-law (CBC). • Provincial legislation will allow municipalities to charge a CBC fee up to a cap yet to be prescribed for soft services. The cap will be a percentage, to be prescribed of the appraised land value before a building permit is issued (details of this cap are not defined in the legislation and would be set by future regulations anticipated in October.) However, it is the opinion of many municipal financial staff across Ontario that under the CBC, the funding model will generate less funding for municipalities. • Bill 108 does not explain how deficit DC reserve balances are to be transferred to the new CBC bylaw or if the deficit is to be recovered over time from the new CBC. This is a major concern due to the fact that the DC reserve fund will have to borrow approximately $33.3 million under the most likely scenario. This issue should be resolved when the Province issues the regulations around October of this year. Therefore, under the worst case scenario, the financial plan is to use the DC funds that are in "the blank (reserves)" and not issue any debt for the DC funding shortfall. The financial result of this strategy and or approach is that City issued debt is used to replace the DC funds.

Pro�incial Municipal Debt Limit As autlined by regulativn, a mtanicipality's Annual Repayment Limit �ARL} as calculated by the Ministry of MuniGipai AfFairs �MMA) represents the maximum amount that a municipality has a�ailable to commit to additianal payments relating to debt and financial a�oigations. The limit is based on a Z5 per cent calculation af annual operating fund revenues ex�luding certain revenues such as government grants and transfers from reserves and reserve funds.

Financial Impact of Civic Centre Project on Future Levy Increases As shown below, with the use of estimated Casino revenues, there is very limited financial impact associated with the capital cost of the Civic Centre project. The operating costs for the Civic Centre project will be budgeted over two years (2023 and 2024) based on a preliminary opening date of July 1, 2023.

The financial model assumes that the cast sharing will Durham Region will begin with the start af the first full year af Casina revenues [�42�}. The Casino revenue sharing with Durham Regivn is �ased on the Coun�il a�praved motion (Re�ammendation 2- FIN 02-19} that the Regian will adopt a property tax relief program similar ta Pickering's. The re�enue sharing ca[cu�ation with the Regian would be adjusted for any possible City revenue loss associated with lawer �ingv license gaming fees. Based on the current financing strategy, line 8 indicates that there are additional Casino funds �after funding ihe Civic Centre constructian casts} to be applied or transferred to ❑perational capital reserves ar res�rve funds (vehicle, majar equipment, facilities, roads and bridges, stormwater} that in-turn wauld reduce the City's use of five year internal loans and eventually all internal laans.

The risk associated with th�s strategy is that yau are hetting on the fact that interest rates will he either lower or at the same rate in four years. The preliminary financing strategy as o�flined abave is based vn the strategy ta mitigate or reduce future interest rate risk by issuing debentures in 2020 for the Senior & Youth Centre, parking lat and far the relocatian af services and a�ersizing of pipes. It is prapased that the City would then incur debt in 2�23 for the Arts Centre and new Central Li�rary. The financing strategy wauld be designed to be flexible to take advantage of favourable interest rate changes.

Explanation of Key Recommendations Council approval is required to Single Source the construction of the three buildings and underground parking lot — Recommendation 4 The construction value of the three buildings and underground parking is estimated to be $123.0 million plus net HST excluding City Centre FFE. Council approval is required to single source due to the fact there is no opportunity to obtain competitive pricing because of the geographical location of the project. In a competitive process, the tender ensures that the City/taxpayer receives the "best pricing" available at that current time and date. To ensure that the City is obtaining "fair pricing", the City has hired an outside cost consultant to verify and audit the construction pricing put forth by PTC. The independent cost consultant is reviewing this information and Council will be advised of his findings and recommendations in the future. That Council authorize staff to apply to all senior government grants that are applicable, and that the Arts Centre project be designated as the top grant candidate — Recommendation 7 Infrastructure programs announced by both the Federal and Provincial Governments through their budget processes are anticipated to be available to provide capital financing. Specifically, the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) is a$30.0 billion, 10-year infrastructure program cost shared between Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments. Previous government funding strategy was for each partner to fund one-third of the project cost. It is anticipated that a grant funding announcement may be coming in the fall of this year. Recommendation 7 identifies the Arts Centre as the top proposed candidate due to its low level of DC funding. �;� 1 FIN 15-19 July 22, 2019 Subject: Civic Centre Multi-Year Financial Stress Test Page 12 That the Director, Finance & Treasurer be authorized to begin the process to amend the Development Charges By-law 7595/17 to increase the development charge fees that are required to fund the development charges share of the Civic Centre project based on the financial plan and that Council approve the engagement of the firm Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. to undertake this work — Recommendation 8 The Civic Centre project relies on almost 45 per cent DC funding. In order to collect the required funding amount, the DC rates have to be amended or increased. Attachment 1 provides an up-to-date snapshot comparison of Pickering's residential DC rate to other GTA municipalities. As the evidence clearly shows, Pickering's DC rates are very attractive and a minor increase in the fees should still maintain the City's competitive position as having one of the lowest GTA DC fees. The process to amend the DC By-law is similar to the DC Background study except for the fact it is a smaller project. As part of the DC By-law amendment process, community engagement exercise with interested stakeholders will be undertaken. The project's goal is to have the new and higher rates effective on December 1, 2019 or earlier. Approval to increase the consulting contract with Sabourin Kimble & Associates Ltd. for Phase 1 Relocation of Services - Recommendations 9 and 10 The hiring of Sabourin, Kimble & Associates Ltd. to provide project management and preliminary engineering services for the City Centre Project was presented in Report CAO 05-19 and was approved by Council at the March 25, 2019 Council meeting through Resolution #53/19. Since then, the consultant has worked diligently to determine the municipal servicing requirements for the project, specifically the need to relocate municipally owned storm, sanitary and water trunk services from the easement that transects Phase 1 of the City Centre project, to a new location on Glenanna Road. The need for a transportation study to support the Phase 1 development, to determine its potential impact on surrounding City and Regional roads, has also been recognized as an important element of the project. As the relocation of services will result in the reconstruction of Glenanna Road, due to extensive restoration requirements, it is important for the transportation needs to feed into the design of the replacement of Glenanna Road to avoid or mitigate throwaway costs. The preliminary cost estimate to relocate municipal services from the Phase 1 area to Glenanna Road including the cost of reconstruction of Glenanna Road through the affected area is $7,175,350 plus HST. This cost estimate includes an allowance for utility relocations, as these details are unknown at this time. Sabourin, Kimble & Associates Ltd. has submitted a proposal outlining the change in scope to include fees required for the transportation study, and the detailed design of the relocation of municipal services. If approved by Council, the change in scope will be reflected on their original purchase order through an amendment. �;.

Approval to initiate the hiring process for the Manager, Arts Centre Position — Recommendation 11 As the City proceeds to the detailed design phase of the City Centre project, the City's Manager, Arts Centre will become an active member of the project team participating in ongoing consultations to inform the design and delivery of the new Arts Centre. This full time position is anticipated to begin November 1, 2019 as part of the proposed 2019 Current Budget, pending the approval of Council to proceed with the City Centre project. The Manager, Arts Centre will possess the expertise and experience to contribute sound technical advice on the design of this state of the art facility. Since this position will be responsible to operate and program the Arts Centre once it opens, it is critical that they be involved at the detailed design stage when important decisions are being made. This approach will ensure a successful and seamless transition from design to construction, to the eventual operation of the Arts Centre.
