Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: CS 28-20
Date: September 14, 2020
From: Brian Duffield
(Acting) Director, Community Services
Subject: Community Safety and Well -Being Plan
- Update
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Council receive report CS 28-20 regarding the City of Pickering's Community Safety
and Well -Being Plan for information; and,
2. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take necessary actions
as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: In accordance with Council Resolution #162/19, Community Services
staff were directed to contact the Town of Ajax and start work on the development of a Community
Safety and Well -Being (CSWB) Plan. Mayor Ryan identified Community Safety as a priority for
the City of Pickering, and appointed Councillor Brenner as the lead on this initiative. As per the
Safer Ontario Act, 2018, S.O. 2018, c. 3 — Bill 175, CSWB Plans came into enactment in the
current Police Services Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.p15. At that time, all municipalities (except lower tier)
were to create and by resolution adopt a CSWB Plan by January 1, 2021.
At this time, due to COVID-19, the Police Services Act has been amended to allow the Solicitor
General to give municipalities an extension beyond January 1, 2021 to prepare and adopt a
Community Safety and Well -Being Plan. Work on the Plan has continued, with Council support,
and Pickering will be well positioned to resume work with the Region of Durham, the Town of Ajax,
Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS), and community partners, once their post COVID work
schedules allow.
The Town of Ajax has been working on their Community Safety and Well -Being Plan for the past 3
years, and have actively been involved in creating and leading the Partnership Based Community
Safety Strategy for the past 11 years. Community partners across the Region have continued to
meet to discuss crime prevention efforts, areas of immediate or imminent concern, and local
solutions and collaborative opportunities. While in-person meetings have been put on hold,
community partners will continue to be an integral part of the Community Safety and Well -Being
Strategy, and ongoing planning efforts will identify services as well as gaps within existing
services in the Pickering community. Please refer to the attached Work Plan, Consultation and
Collaboration which identifies action items including the need to continue to work with the
community partners to establish community efforts, identify strengths and weaknesses, and
develop community priorities, goals and objectives.
CS 28-20 September 14, 2020
Subject: Community Safety and Well -Being Plan Page 2
In 2019, City staff conducted initial interviews with Members of Council and City staff in which
common themes were identified including homelessness, mental health issues, addiction and anti-
social behavior, emotional violence, various levels of mischief and crime, drugs and increased
trafficking, high traffic and careless driving, and social issues, including neighbour disputes and
bullying. Although this information provides a good foundation, more work is needed by dedicated
staff to enable the City to complete and implement its Community Safety Well -Being Plan. Action
items include adding new partners to the working committee, and becoming a member of the
Canadian Municipal Network on Crime Prevention as identified in the attached draft 2019-2020
Community Safety and Well -Being Work Plan, Action Item 1.0-3. Additional surveys with the
community are required to expand this foundation of information, and identify specific
neighborhood needs in Action Item 2.0-1.
The Province extended the date for the adoption of the CSWB Plan beyond January 1, 2021, due
to COVID-19, but have yet to announce a new date. The City has also been advised by the
Region of Durham that their working group activities had been put on hold due to COVID-19 and
they will notify staff when they are able to resume work on their Plan.
Financial Implications: The development and implementation of the City's Community Safety
and Well -Being Plan will require a dedicated subject expert staff resources in 2021. Therefore,
funding for this position will be submitted for Council consideration in the 2021 Current Budget
submission.
Discussion: In an effort to complete a Community Safety and Well -Being Plan, City staff
have begun work with DRPS and the Town of Ajax to create and implement a Pickering internal
and community outreach consultation program. The Provincial Planning Approach includes
identifying priority risks, determining outcomes, selecting strategies, implementation, and review of
the CSWB Plan and the City's efforts will move forward within this framework.
In 2019 and 2020, City of Pickering staff met with Town of Ajax staff, attended the Partners in
Community Safety Meeting, and completed interviews with Members of Council, senior City staff,
Customer Care, Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex front line staff and By-law staff.
As an introductory community engagement exercise, seniors throughout the community were
provided with questions at the City's annual Information and Active Living Fair, at which time over
150 seniors provided feedback. Each interview included questions associated with Risk
Intervention, Prevention and Social Development. Additional surveys will now move to targeted
populations throughout the Pickering area for further feedback, and identification of areas to
include in the overall strategy.
As this is a joint partnership with the Town of Ajax, community partners and DRPS, all action
items concerning Incident Response will be the responsibility of DRPS. Pickering's action plan will
include Risk Intervention, Prevention, and Social Development. The purpose of the interview
process is to highlight action items from across the City, create a strategy, identify resources,
execute, and deliver a comprehensive plan. Additional partnerships with the City of Pickering
Neighborhood Watches are a critical step in building relationships that will support the goals of the
Community Safety and Well -Being Plan. A number of meetings have already taken place to
- 2 -
CS 28-20 September 14, 2020
Subject: Community Safety and Well -Being Plan Page 3
further develop these relationships. New opportunities for quarterly meetings, training and sharing
sessions are identified in Section 3.0 in Attachment 1. A new Neighborhood Watch in West Shore
and Fairport Beach was introduced by Councillor Brenner, and endorsed by Council on February
24, 2020. Additional Neighborhood Watches are being considered within the community. This
critical engagement with the community must be enhanced, and is supported by further action in
Section 3.0-1 — 3.0-3.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, new community issues were discussed during ongoing meetings
with the Town of Ajax. For example, an ongoing review of data from 211 introduced new
emerging issues, including food insecurities, income, and mental health. Access and use of 211
was re -introduced to Council, through Councillor Brenner, as an important resource for use within
the City of Pickering, and through Customer Care. Discussions also included a future partnering
opportunity with Ontario Tech University for a data sharing agreement, becoming a partner with
211, and implementing a marketing campaign to enhance community use of this service. In this
way, 211 may provide assistance to the community, eliminating the need to call 911 in non-
emergency situations. Refer to Section 4.0 of the attached draft 2019-2020 Community Safety and
Well -Being Work Plan, for sample of statistics from 211.
During COVID-19, a dedicated group of volunteers emerged within the community, called the
Caremongers. The City of Pickering and Pickering Public Library teamed up to assist this
volunteer group, attending weekly meetings, to support promotions, flyer productions and provide
financial assistance through the City of Pickering. The committee continues to work through the
pandemic, and while some requests for services have been declined, others requiring food and
income security have been able to continue. The Caremongers group has now applied for
government assistance (through grants), in order to continue working to support the community.
This group will continue to work with lower income residents, and be another valuable community
support resource in the City. While the City of Pickering will not remain as active committee
members, staff will continue to provide support where possible, and include the group in relevant
CSWB activities throughout the City. Caremongers will continue to be part of the City's outreach
strategy to residents. The next meeting with Caremongers is scheduled for September 16, 2020.
In order to meet an extended 2021 deadline for the Community Safety Plan, a number of steps
are required to be completed including the addition of a dedicated City staff person. This staff
resource will be responsible for conducting further research and consultation, completing the
analysis on the preliminary research, developing new partnerships to complement the existing
community partners team, with groups such as Pickering By-law Services, Pickering Fire
Services, Pickering Public Library, Great Canadian Gaming, and Pickering Town Centre.
Furthermore, this new position will be a member of the Canadian Municipal Network on Crime
Prevention, and be familiar with legislative requirements, identifying local priorities, implications
and practice, identifying outcomes, strategies and programs, training, including safety
assessments, community consultations, building safer and healthy communities, and developing
and implementing a Community Safety and Well -Being Plan. With the experience gained in
dealing with a public health crisis this year, this position will also be an integral part of the City of
Pickering ongoing emergency planning and management focusing on community outreach, should
the City need to react to a similar public health event in the future.

Additionally, the City of Pickering requires a system for reporting community safety issues and
providing immediate feedback, to engage the community and develop ongoing partnerships with
DRPS, and other municipal partners working on development of the CSWB Plan.
The City of Pickering is committed to the ongoing development and support of Community Safety
and Well -Being. A resolution from Council enabled Pickering to advance a partnership with Ajax
and Durham Region Police Service. The Ajax strategy was highly successful, and its goals,
objectives, and outcomes have been sustained due to the strategy of a multi -sector, inter-
departmental, and partnership based model. Partners will continue to meet quarterly, as regular
work resumes, and the group will continue to grow as more community organizations are identified
and engaged. Pickering and Ajax will continue to participate in the development of a Regional plan
as well, and Pickering and Ajax are moving forward with an individual plan to follow the Provincial
framework that will be unique to both communities. The Plan is being developed in partnership
with the Durham Region Police Service (West Division) and will incorporate elements from their
corporate planning initiative.
This Plan will become a living document within the City of Pickering, and will change and adapt as
the community continues to grow and change. That said, staff plan to develop objectives,
measurable outcomes and identified goals by November 30, 2020 for council's consideration,
subject to the timing of the community partners re-engagement.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: ENG 09-20
Date: September 14, 2020
From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Boundary Road Agreement
- Township of Uxbridge
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That the City of Pickering enter into a new Boundary Road Agreement with the Township of
Uxbridge for the period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2030;
2. That the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute the Boundary Road
Agreement between the City of Pickering and the Township of Uxbridge in substantially the
same form as attached to this report, and satisfactory to the City Solicitor;
3. That a by-law authorizing the execution of a Boundary Road Agreement between The
Corporation of the City of Pickering and The Corporation of the Township of Uxbridge as
attached to this report be enacted;
4. That a copy of Report ENG 09-20 and relevant Council resolution be forwarded to the
Township of Uxbridge; and,
5. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: There are provisions within The Municipal Act 2001, as amended, that
allow municipalities to enact by-laws with respect to highways under its jurisdiction. The Uxbridge -
Pickering Townline Road forms a boundary between the City of Pickering and the Township of
Uxbridge. Municipalities on either side of a boundary line have joint jurisdiction over any highway
forming a boundary line. As such, both Pickering and Uxbridge have joint jurisdiction over the
Uxbridge -Pickering Townline Road. The Municipal Act 2001, as amended, allows municipalities to
enter into agreements which establish responsibilities related to maintenance and repair of
boundary roads.
The previous Boundary Road Agreement between Pickering and Uxbridge has expired and needs
to be renewed. The proposed Boundary Road Agreement appears as Attachment #1 to this
report. It is recommended that this Boundary Road Agreement be executed for the period July 1,
2020 to June 30, 2030.

Subject: Boundary Road Agreement
Township of Uxbridge Page 2
Financial Implications: No financial implications are expected beyond those provided for
annually in road maintenance, repair, and reconstruction budgets. Each municipality will budget
for, and be responsible for maintenance, repair, and reconstruction costs related to the sections of
the Uxbridge -Pickering Townline Road that they are responsible to repair and maintain as
indicated in the Boundary Road Agreement.
Discussion: Section 11 of The Municipal Act 2001, as amended, allows lower tier
municipalities to enact by-laws respecting public assets of the municipality, such as highways
under its jurisdiction. The Uxbridge -Pickering Townline Road is a highway that forms a boundary
between the City of Pickering and the Township of Uxbridge. Section 29(1) of The Municipal Act
2001, as amended, states that municipalities on either side of a boundary line have joint
jurisdiction over any highway forming a boundary line. As such, both Pickering and Uxbridge have
joint jurisdiction over the Uxbridge -Pickering Townline Road.
The Municipal Act 2001, as amended, allows municipalities to enter into agreements which
establish responsibilities related to maintenance and repair of boundary roads. This is best
accomplished in the form of a Boundary Road Agreement such as the one proposed in this report.
As a by-law is required to enter into a Boundary Road Agreement, and the highway in question
forming the basis of the Boundary Road Agreement is under joint jurisdiction, Section 27(2) of The
Municipal Act 2001, as amended, states that a by-law must be passed by both municipalities. The
Township of Uxbridge is currently going through a similar process to enact a by-law to enter into
the same Boundary Road Agreement.
The previous Boundary Road Agreement between Pickering and Uxbridge was a ten year
agreement in effect between January 2, 1989 and January 1, 1999 and has since expired and
needs to be renewed. During the period when the Boundary Road Agreement was not in effect,
both municipalities mutually agreed to operate under the same terms of the expired agreement.
In both the previous and proposed Boundary Road Agreements, each municipality were
responsible for the operations, maintenance, repair and reconstruction of designated sections of
Uxbridge -Pickering Townline Road.
The City of Pickering is responsible for the following sections:
• From the York -Durham Townline Road to Concession 3 Road (Uxbridge) — approximately 3.94
km
• East of Sideline 4 — approximately 0.32 km
• West of Lake Ridge Road — approximately 0.96 km
• East of Westney Road (privately maintained) — approximately 1.4 km
The Township of Uxbridge is responsible for the following section:
• From Concession 3 Road (Uxbridge) to Westney Road — approximately 6.23 km

Subject: Boundary Road Agreement
Township of Uxbridge Page 3
The section that is east of Westney Road is referred to as the "Control Road" in the Boundary
Road Agreement is privately maintained subject to terms of Minutes of Settlement dated August
19, 2002 and an Ontario Municipal Board Order dated February 3, 2004 related to a Land Division
application and decision for a property in the City of Pickering. As such, it is recommended that
the City of Pickering have responsibility for this section of road.
The proposed Boundary Road Agreement appears as Attachment #1 to this report. It is
recommended that this Boundary Road Agreement be executed for the period July 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2030.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 12-20
Date: September 14, 2020
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: Estimated Heritage Property Tax Grant Financial Impact
- File: F-4200-001
Recommendation: That Report FIN 12-20 from the Director, Finance & Treasurer regarding
the impact of a potential Heritage Property Tax Grant be received for information.
Executive Summary: At the July 27th Council meeting, Council adopted the motion for staff to
report back at the September 2020 Council meeting, on the impact of a potential Heritage
Property Tax Grant.
To that end, this report answers the following questions.
1. How many homes are designated as heritage and would be eligible to take part in the
program?
2. What are the potential costs of the program to Pickering taxpayers?
3. How many properties are designated under the Heritage Act that are owned by the provincial
and federal governments?
Financial Implications: There are two cost components to the Heritage Property Tax Grant:
1. grant expenditure as outlined below; and
2. staffing costs associated with administering and monitoring the program. When the
Heritage Property Tax Grant program design is finalized, City staff will then provide an
estimate of the staff hours required to administer the program (Finance and City
Development).
Discussion: There are 173 properties that have been identified as having historical
significance or are in an area of historical significance. These properties were sorted into 3
groups. The potential City costs listed below are based on a rebate of 20 percent of the City's
share of property taxes.
Group 1 — Qualify: 50 Properties
Potential City Costs: $22,000
These properties would likely qualify for a Heritage Property Tax Grant if the City were to offer
such a program.
-28-
FIN 12-20 September 14, 2020
Subject: Potential Heritage Property Tax Grant Impact Page 2
Group 2 — May Qualify: 26 Properties
Potential City Costs: $11,000
These properties may qualify for a program, but it would depend on the program requirements.
In other words, once the heritage grant criteria are determined, a number of these properties may
be eligible.
Group 3 — Future: 97 Properties
Potential City Costs: $43,000
These properties would not qualify right now but may qualify in the future. Currently, the federal
government owns 77 properties, and 20 are owned by the provincial government. If these
properties were ever sold, they may qualify for a Heritage Property Tax Grant.
