That Report CS 56-05 of the City Clerk with respect to a request to expand the

1600 Alliance Road, Pickering, be referred to Council for disposition.

Report Number: CS 56-05
Date: September 1, 2005
From:
Debi A. Bentley, CMO, CMM III
City Clerk
Subject:
Request for Expansion of Permitted Area for Body Rub Parlours
Brock Spa, 1600 Alliance Road, Pickering
Recommendation:
1.
That Report CS 56-05 of the City Clerk with respect to a request to expand the
permitted area for body rub parlours by the Brock Spa, municipally located at
1600 Alliance Road, Pickering, be received; and
2.
That the request from Ms. Anna Trojanowska, Brock Spa, 1600 Alliance Road, to
expand the permitted area for body rub parlours to include Alliance Road be
denied and the applicant be so advised.
Executive Summary:
To advise of a request from the owner of the Brock Spa at 1600 Alliance Road to
expand the permitted area for body rub parlours to include Alliance Road.
Financial Implications:
Not applicable
Background:
A request has been received from Ms. Anna Trojanowska, owner of the Brock Spa
located at 1600 Alliance Road, Pickering, to expand the permitted area for body rub
parlours to include Alliance Road. A copy of the request has been included as
Attachment 1 to this report.
On October 16, 2000, Council passed By-law 5764/00, being a by-law to licence and
regulate body-rub parlours in the City of Pickering. The by-law restricted the location of
these establishments to the Brock Industrial Area. Body rub parlours that were
operating at the time By-law 5764/00 was enacted were grandfathered for five years so
Report CS 56-05
September 1, 2005
Expansion of Permitted Area for Body Rub Parlours
Page 2
enacted were grandfathered for five years so that they could continue to operate their
establishment until December 31, 2005, at which time they would have to relocate their
establishment to the permitted area.
Extensive review of the licencing of body-rub parlours was undertaken in 2000 with the
Police, Health and By-law Enforcement officials and therefore, from our perspective
there is no compelling reason to amend our by-law at this time. Further, this location is
in contravention of By-law 5764/00 and has been provided appropriate time to relocate
the business into the permitted area.

Dear Mr. Bruce Taylor and Mrs. Kimberly Thompson,
My Grandfathered status is about to expire. This letter serves to request that
the permitted area where body rub parlours may operate as set out in
Schedule 'B' of BY-LAW 5764/00 be expanded. It would be my intention to
apply for an amendment to the current BY-LAW given your permission in this
matter. The reasons for my request are listed below.
Firstly, my proximity to the current line, the west most line in the permitted
area runs through a hydro corridor which ends at my parking lot meaning
that the actual line can be no more than 120 ft. from my premises. I also
feel that I have been in full cooperation with the city since I established my
business there over 4 years ago and have always been respectful of its
policies and practices. I think it should also be mentioned that I feel that I
have the full backing of my landlord, neighbours and peers in this request
and am willing to attain documentation to support my feeling. There are also
the issues of employees and suppliers who depend on my business to
support them and given the costs of moving I may be forced to close if the
area cannot be expanded.
Another question would be the possibility of extending the grandfathered
status, if this would be acceptable it would at least provide for further
exploration of my options and the possibility of relocation which is
improbable at this time but may be available to me in the future.
I would like to open channels of discussion for any concerns or questions that
you may have, my cellular phone number is 416-910-4266. Please feel free
to call me on this matter at your convenience.

Attention: Ms. Debi Bentley, City Clerk
Dear Ms. Bentley:
Ms. Trojanowska operates Brock Spa - a licensed Body-rub Parlour at 1600 Alliance Road in the
City of Pickering. The establishment existed prior to the passage of By-law 574/2000. It is
located just outside the western boundary of the area established by By-law 57412000 as the
permitted area for the licensing of body-rub parlours. The establishment lies approximately 120
feet from the western boundary line which runs through a hydro corridor.
Notwithstanding that the fact that the establishment is located just outside the boundary
established in By-law 574/2000, the City granted it "grandfathered" status and licensed the
activities therein for a period of five years. This grandfathered status is set to expire on
December 31, 2005.
2
My client is respectfully requesting that you amend By-law 574/2000 so that the grandfathered
status it currently enjoys becomes permanent.
In support of the request, my client requests that you kindly consider the following:
1.
The establishment has been licensed and operating at its present location for a period
exceeding five years;
2.
There have been no charges relating to the operation of the business;
3.
The premises are zoned industrial and directly abutt the area already designated for the
licensing of body-rub parlours;
4.
The premises abutts a hydro corridor;
5.
There are no schools, daycare centres, recreational centres, parks or places of worship
within 120 metres of the premises;
6.
The owner of the unit supports this application. Please see attached letter;
7.
Seven other unit holders support this application. Please see attached Acknowledgments;
8.
The business employs six persons;
9.
The proprietor and employees of the business rely on the income earned at the
establishment to support themselves and their families.
As the business has been operating and licensed for approximately five years, the proposed by-
law amendment would effectively be a ratification of the status quo. Ifthe by-law amendment is
not granted, my client would face the unfortunate circumstance of closing a viable business and
losing her investment therein.
We understand that there is an element of discretion in your consideration of this request and
graciously request that such discretion be exercised in favour of the applicant. In return, my
client promises to continue abiding by By-law 574/2000 and all other relevant rules and
regulations and to continue providing quality service and employment in the City of Pickering.
We thank you for taking the time to consider these comments.
Yours very truly

1.
It is recommended that Report CS 70-05 of the Director, Corporate

2.
That the outstanding account receivable billed to Christopher

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: CS 70-05
Date: September 1, 2005
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Outstanding Recovery of Water Bomber Costs
Recommendation:
1.
It is recommended that. Report CS 70-05 of the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer be received and that:
2.
the outstanding account receivable billed to Christopher Burkholder in the amount
of $42,532.10 be written off in 2005; and,
3.
the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the
necessary action to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: Report CS 47-04 "Outstanding Recovery of Water Bomber
Invoices" was presented to Council on December 13th, 2004 and Council decided to
refer this issue to the former Solicitor for the City. In August, 2005 upon the hiring of
the new City Solicitor this file was passed to him for his consideration and review. In
summary he has concluded that:
"In my opinion, there is no legal basis upon which the City can recover from Mr.
Burkholder the monies paid to the Ministry of Natural Resources for the service of
the water bomber fleet."
Therefore, it is recommended that Recommendation 2 be adopted and the amount be
written off in 2005.
Financial Implications: If Council decides to write-off this amount, the expense will
be charged to the City for the 2005 fiscal year (Account 2136 - Provision for Accounts
Receivable Write-off). The additional expense will be accommodated through
unanticipated under expenditures or higher revenues throughout the Corporation during
2005.
Report CS 70-05
Date: September 1, 2005
Subject: Outstanding Recovery of Water Bomber Costs
Page 2
Background: A bailing machine caught fire in Mr. Burkholder's field located in the
City. The fire spread throughout the field and the City's Fire Services Division called
the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) air water bomber fleet to control and
extinguish the fire. The officer in charge of the firefighting efforts, observed flames
approximately 20 feet high and considered there to be a threat to a house, barn and
large combines. The fire was extinguished and the City was invoiced by MNR in the
amount of $42,532.10 for the services of the water bomber fleet. (The water bomber
fleet consisted of: one spotter plane, one water bomber and one helicopter). When the
City received the invoice from MNR, the City obtained a legal advice from Mr. Reble as
to whether the City should pay the outstanding invoice. Mr. Reble advised that the City
should pay the invoice and that the City could recover its costs.
Collection Activitv
During the last few years, the City has pursued the collection of the outstanding invoice.
The insurance adjuster representing Mr. Burkholder (Kellow & Associates) has been
questioning the City's legal authority to bill for the additional costs. The City has
provided the documentation supporting the City's position that it has the authority to
collect or recovery the costs. The insurance adjuster and Mr. Burkholder's insurance
company are resisting payment and basically are stating that the City has "no
jurisdiction to recover payment".
Usinq Alternative Collection Avenue
Early in 2004, the Director, Corporate Services asked the City's insurance adjuster to
assist in the collection of the outstanding invoice. The City's insurance adjuster spoke
several times with David Kellow of Kellow & Associates trying to effect a settlement of
the outstanding invoice. David Kellow's last position on this issue was that they were
not interested in settling and that they were prepared to pursue a legal defence of the
claim.
Explorinq The Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) as a Collection Tool
After the unsuccessful attempt by the City's insurance adjuster, staff wanted to explore
alternative non-legal court cost options. One alternative explored was reviewing the
Fire Protection and Prevention Act and using the legislative powers through the Fire
Marshal's Office. FPPA does allow the Fire Chief to issue an "ORDER" to recover
costs incurred by the Municipality. However, the ORDER is issued based on Section 15
of the FPPA. Section 15 provides that if the Fire Chief has reasonable grounds to
believe that a risk of fire poses an immediate threat to life, he or she may enter any land
or premises for the purpose of removing or reducing the threat and may under 15 (1 )(g),
do anything he or she has reasonable grounds to believe is urgently required to remove
or reduce the threat of life. Staff discussed using this section of FPPA with the City's
Fire Chief Mr. Bill Douglas. However, it is the Fire Chief's opinion that Section 15's
Report CS 70-05
Date: September 1,2005
Subject: Outstanding Recovery of Water Bomber Costs
Page 3
intent is to be used to remove a fire threat or possibility of a fire starting and not as a
retroactive collection tool. In other words, if there was an unsafe situation such as a
huge pile of tires mixed with empty gas cans - the Fire Chief could have an outside
contractor clean-up the area and then issue an invoice for the cost of the clean-up to
the property owner. The Fire Chief also stated that the Fire Marshall Office has issued
very few orders for cost recovery.
Conclusion
In conclusion this matter has been outstanding for a long time. Several opinions have
been provided on the inability to recover beyond the attempts already taken therefore, it
is time to bring the matter to a close by writing off the amount of $42,532.10.

That the City of Pickering request that the Region of Durham, Medical Officer of

REPORT TO
COUNCIL
Report Number: CS 79-05
Date: October 17, 2005
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Request to Medical Officer of Health for Permission to Allow City of
Pickering Municipal Law Enforcement Officers to Enforce the Regional
Smoke-Free By-law within the Taxicab Industry
Recommendation:
THAT the City of Pickering request that the Region of Durham, Medical Officer of Health
authorize Municipal Law Enforcement Officers of the City of Pickering to enforce the
provisions of the Region of Durham Smoke-Free By-law No. 66-2002 with respect to the
Taxicab industry.
Executive Summary: As part of the ongoing discussions within the taxicab industry,
along with complaints received by passengers utilizing Pickering taxicabs, the Clerks
Division has determined that the added provision of Municipal Law Enforcement Officers
being allowed to lay charges under the Regional Smoke-Free By-law No. 66-2002 would
be beneficial to all parties and therefore is recommended.
Financial Implications:
Not applicable.
Background: At the September 21, 2005 meeting of the Taxicab Advisory
Committee, representatives of the Region of Durham, Health Department provided an
overview of the Regional Smoke-Free By-law No. 66-2002. Based on the presentation, it
was determined by the Chair, Taxicab Advisory Committee, in conjunction with the
Clerks Division, that in order to provide additional enforcement of the by-law within the
Taxicab industry, it would be beneficial to ensure that Municipal Law Enforcement
Officers are authorized to lay charges.
As the Smoke-Free by-law is a Regional by-law, authorization from the Medical Officer of
Health is required in order to allow City of Pickering Municipal By-law Enforcement
Report CS 79-05
Date: October 17, 2005

Officers the ability to lay charges under the by-law. If approved, the Region of Durham
would pass a by-law to give affect to this change.

CORPO227-07/01
REPORT FROM COUNCILLOR DICKERSON. CHAIRMAN. TO COUNCIL:
THE EAST SHORE COMMUNITY CENTRE
BUILDING COMMITTEE
During the 2005 budget deliberations, Council authorized the creation of
the East Shore Community Centre (ESCC) Building Committee (the Committee)
and the commitment of $275,000 in the 2005 budget for the design and
construction of a 2nd floor addition above the Millennium Room.
Councillors Dickerson and McLean subsequently met to discuss and map
out the approach to be taken. Discussions included the formation, and make-up,
of a "Building Committee", the make-up and involvement of City staff and the
retention of Stone McQuire Vogt Architects. The firm was used in 1999 to design
the Millennium Room and oversee the renovations to the ESCC. Their
knowledge of the building and the various periods when additions were made,
gave them an invaluable insight as to what the current plan called for and to what
the limitations in terms of parking (in particular) were likely to be.
During the course of the Committee's initial meeting, a thorough
discussion was held with Alan Stone, Architect, to determine what components
the seniors (as the primary user group) envisioned as necessary within the new
facility.
A discussion was also undertaken with Steve Reynolds, Division Head,
Culture & Recreation, to thoroughly investigate not only the various existing user
groups but also identify what times and in which areas these activities occurred.
In addition, Mr. Reynolds was also requested to provide the same information
with respect to the West Shore Community Centre and the Petticoat Creek
Community Centre.
That first meeting also identified the need of the South Pickering Lawn
Bowling Association to expand their 'greens' within the next few years due to the
tremendous rise in their club's membership. The previous plan for their eventual
expansion of 'greens' was directly to the north where, in 1999, a temporary
parking lot was created to handle overflow-parking requirements, primarily from
the South Pickering Seniors Association. Their membership has grown from just
under 400 members then to well over 700 today. The lawn bowling club likewise
has seen their membership grow from just under 40 bowlers then to over 125
today - again with no end in sight.
These realities caused the Committee, although not formed to do so, to
request the Architects to investigate the possibility of vehicle parking on top of the
hill directly to the north of the Centre. It was determined that whether or not an
expansion of the Centre was justified, the temporary parking lot was going to be
re-claimed by the lawn bowlers in the not-too-distant future and that the City
would be well advised to begin preparing for that eventuality now.
-2-
CONCLUSION
Following two more formal meetings of the Committee where much of the
focus was on existing space availability; continuing discussion on parking
requirements; lawn bowling expansion and the eventual need of the Seniors Club
to relocate into a much larger facility containing many more amenities than can
presently be housed i.e.: a therapy pool, the Committee members present
unanimously came to a conclusion that the addition of a 2nd floor, at this time, is
unwarranted and could not be justified in terms of usage vs. cost.
In this respect, the Committee thanks the Council and staff of the City of
Pickering for the confidence placed in the Committee to reach a proper decision
based on the merits and facts, as they presently exist.
For the specific purpose that Council authorized the formation of the
Building Committee, as Chairman I can now report that the Committee has
completed its mandate and, with the receipt of this report by Council, ceases to
exist.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee, having completed and reported to Council on the
mandate authorized by Council, makes the following recommendation to Council
for its' consideration:
1) Any funds remaining unused from this project be used to
commence funding to a dedicated City account for the eventual construction
of a new Senior Facility envisioned within the existing downtown core within
easy walking distance to transit, shopping and professional care.
2) That Council considers the construction of a new parking facility on the top of
the hill immediately north of the existing ESCC.
3) That Council considers the new routing and parking plan for the existing
ESCC.
Respectfully submitted to the Council of the City of Pickering:

Re:
PROCLAIM OCTOBER 17-23, 2005 WASTE REDUCTION WEEK
Canada will celebrate its fifth annual National Waste Reduction Week fÌ'om October 17-23,
2005. The Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC) is organizing BC's involvement
in observing this week. We would like to ask all Municipal Councils in BC to officially
declare October 17-23, 2005 as Waste Reduction Week in their communities.
Waste Reduction Week is intended to raise awareness about waste and its environmental
and social impacts. The theme of Waste Reduction Week, Too Good To Waste, is meant to
draw attention to the richness and diversity of the natural world and the importance of
working towards ecological sustainability through waste avoidance and resource
conservation.
RCO (Recycling Council of Ontario) began sponsoring "October Waste Reduction Month"
in Ontario 18 years ago. In 2001 we teamed up with organizations fÌ'om across the country
to create Waste Reduction Week, a national event with participation fÌ'om every Canadian
Province and Territory.
Please join the Recycling Council of Ontario in proclaiming October 17-23,2005 as Waste
Reduction Week. For more information on Waste Reduction Week in Canada, please visit
www.wrwcanada.com. Please see attachment for a sample Waste Reduction Week in
Canada proclamation. Complete proclamations can be faxed to 416-960-8053 or emailed to

.. ..NoSmokin .B<-Iäw
Steve Marsh and Christopher Tassone distributed and
highlighted areas of the Regional Municipality of Durham By-
law 66-2002 concerning the regulating of smoking.
The following points were made:
. Smoking in public vehicle is prohibited
. No smoking signs must be posted in full view of
passenger - no smoking signs were distributed
. If smoking occurs in vehicle the owner, driver and
passenger will be charged
Confirmed companies could not offer a "smoking cab".
The need for a communicative relationship between
municipalities is imperative. This would assist in determining
who among Pickering Taxi Drivers have been charged with
picking up fares outside of their jurisdiction.
Passengers who refuse to stop smoking can be asked to
vacate, if they become aggressive call police.
A letter was forwarded to the Taxi Industry advising that
smoking and cell phone use is prohibited within taxicabs.
It was suggested that a taxicab owner prepare a log, include
information and require taxicab drivers to read and sign that
they understand the regulations. If the owner has this
information and provides it to the officer, charges may be
dropped against the owner if smoking occurs in their cab.
Consideration is being given to taxi driver training.
Mitch Colling, Durham Regional Police provided the following
comments with respect to safety for the taxi drivers:
. Placement of a physical support or barrier should be
considered
. Police will respond if passenger becomes aggressive,
abusive or threatening
The Committee made the following recommendations:
. the use of a code s stem for drivers in trouble
Page 2
. an amber flashing light on the trunk of a taxicab to alert
that the driver is in trouble
. Kim to research Toronto regarding cameras in vehicles
Kim to contact the City
of Toronto
The Committee was advised that if a crime is in progress or a
driver is in trouble call 911.
Durham Regional Police Crime Prevention Staff can assist
companies with driver education.
It was suggested that a manual be prepared for taxi drivers

Kim, comparing the costs and income for a driver for a
brokerage and an independent driver made a power point
presentation.
The following points were made:
. Meters and fares will be changed at the same time
. Kim has requested fare structures from various
municipalities
. It was suggested that the meter starts at $2.65 and
$1.80 is added per kilometer
. Justification is required for a 60 cent increase
. Insurance increase and gas increase needs to be
incorporated into new figures
. Fare increase must be communicated to Council, the
media and passengers
. Comparison should be made between insurance costs
and gas prices between 2001 and present
. A handout should be prepared for passengers explaining
increase
