The Director, Corporate Services and Treasurer has updated the City's 2011 Annual
Repayment Limit and certified that this loan and the repayment thereof falls within the
City's Annual Repayment Limit for debentures and financial obligations, and would not
cause the City to exceed the updated Limit, and therefore, the Ontario Municipal Board
approval is not required prior to City Council's authorization.
The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has reviewed the budgetary implications
and the financing of the expenditure contained in this report and concurs.
Sustainability Implications: The engine powering this equipment meets the
Environmental Protection Agency's Tier IIII emission standard. This will significantly
reduce the amount of harmful emissions created by the operation of the vehicle as well
as provide increased fuel economy. This purchase conforms to the environmental and
economic lens of sustainability.
Background: The purchase of a 4-ton Dump Truck with Wing and Plow was
identified and approved by Council in the 2011 Roads Capital Budget. The gross
vehicle weight (GVW) of a 4-ton truck is 41,000 lbs. Supply & Services posted the
tender on the City's website. One bidder responded and has submitted a tender for this
vehicle. Upon careful examination of the tender received, it has been determined that
all of the required specifications have been met. It is therefore the recommendation of
the Community Services Department that the bid submitted by Scarborough Truck Inc.
in the amount of $179,077 (HST extra) be accepted and that the total net cost of
$183,246 be approved. This report has been prepared in conjunction with the

By-law No.
Being a by-law to authorize the supply and
delivery of one 41,000 lb. GVW Diesel Snow
Plow/Dump/Sander Truck in the City of
Pickering and the issuance of debentures
therefor in the amount of $180,000
Whereas Section 11 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a lower-tier
municipality may pass by-laws respecting matters within the spheres of jurisdiction
described in that Section; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
municipality may incur a debt for municipal purposes, whether by borrowing money or in
any other way; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
lower-tier municipality in a regional municipality does not have the power to issue
debentures; and,
Whereas The Regional Municipality of Durham has the sole authority to issue
debentures for the purposes of its lower-tier municipalities including The Corporation of
the City of Pickering (the "City"); and,
Whereas the Council of the City wishes to proceed with the supply and delivery of one
41,000 lb. GVW Diesel Snow Plow/Dump/Sander Truck; and,
Whereas before the Council of the City authorized the supply and delivery of one
41,000 lb. GVW Diesel Snow Plow/Dump/Sander Truck, the Council of the City had the
Treasurer update the City's Annual Repayment Limit, the Treasurer calculated the
estimated annual amount payable in respect of such project and determined that such
annual amount would not cause the City to exceed the updated limit and, therefore,
Ontario Municipal Board approval was not required prior to City Council's authorization
as per Section 401 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, and the regulations made
thereunder;
And whereas after determining that Ontario Municipal Board approval is not required,
the Council of the City approved Report CS 28-11 on the date hereof and awarded
Tender T-12-2011 for the supply and delivery of one 41,000 lb. GVW Diesel Snow
Plow/Dump/Sander Truck.

Report To
PICKERING Executive Committee
Report Number: CS 29-11
Date: September 12, 2011

From: Everett Buntsma
Director, Community Services
Subject: Financial Partnership Land Acquisition
- with Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
- Lands of Joyce Andrews and Phyllis Brown
- File: A-1440-001-11
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 29-11 of the Director, Community Services regarding the
Financial Partnership with Toronto & Region Conservation Authority
regarding a land acquisition from lands of Joyce Andrews and Phyllis
Brown, at a cost not exceeding. 50% of the total cost or $12,850, whichever
is the lowest, be received;
2. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to fund the
City's share of the cost of the land acquisition as follows: $10,000 from the
City's Current Budget Grants to Organizations- and Individuals (account
2195-2712) and up to $2,850 from sub account 2712 and from funds
otherwise available at the end of the current year; and
3. That the appropriate City of Pickering Officials be authorized to take
necessary action to give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: Since 1988, Pickering has supported partnership land
acquisition with the TRCA, in a jointly beneficial effort to protect the waterfront and
enhance public access and trail opportunities.
On March 1, 1999 Council approved Resolution #41/99 endorsing the concept of 50%
maximum funding, for Waterfront land acquisition. This approach was consistent with
and predicated on the "Mayor's Task Force on the Pickering Waterfront Final Report"
and actions outlined in Report to Council IDT 80-98.
The lands on the west side of Frenchman's Bay are critical to the achievement of the
City's "Waterfront Vision". The lands are situated on the west side of Frenchman's Bay
and are adjoining TRCA owned lands to the north and TRCA to the south and lands are
Report CS 29-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: Financial Partnership Land Acquisition
- with Toronto & Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
- Lands of Joyce Andrews and Phyllis Brown Page 2
11
comprised of tableland only. This acquisition will assist in enabling the implementation
of the Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Master plan.
Staff strongly recommends participation in the acquisition of lands from Joyce Andrews
and Phyllis Brown in partnership with TRCA.
Financial Implications: The 2011 Current Budget, Grants to Organizations and
Individuals, contained a provision for a TRCA Joint Funding Environmental Project in
the amount of $10,000. It is anticipated that these funds will not be required this year so
it is appropriate to use them for this joint TRCA land acquisition. The balance of funds,
$2,850, can come from the same account from the "To be Determined" allocation of
$2,000 and from funds otherwise available at the end of the current fiscal year.
Sustainability Implications: Preservation of additional waterfront lands is
environmentally sustainable. Protection of the lands for future trail development meets
the social needs for the City, regarding the waterfront.
Background: Not applicable.

Report CS 30-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: Speed Limits By-law, Twyn Rivers Drive Page 2
20 Community Safety Zones By-law, Twyn Rivers Drive
Background: In early October 2010, concerns were brought to Engineering Services
staff attention regarding roadway safety and traffic operations, specifically with respect
to vehicular speeding on Twyn Rivers Drive from the west city limit eastbound towards
Ashwood Gate. Tywn Rivers Drive is an Arterial Type C roadway with a posted speed
limit of 50 km/h from the west city limit to Hoover Drive and 40 km/h from Hoover Drive
to Altona Road adjacent to St. Monica Catholic School. There is a downward slope on
Tywn Rivers Drive when travelling westbound from Ashwood Gate towards the west city
limit and into the Rouge Valley. Twyn Rivers Drive is also designated as a community
safety zone adjacent to St. Monica Catholic School from Hoover Drive to Altona Road.
In response to concerns raised, Engineering Services staff completed a traffic study
from October 18, 2010 to October 22, 2010. Traffic volumes and speed data on Twyn
Rivers Drive west of Ashwood Gate were collected during the course of the traffic study.
The study found the average speed of vehicles on this section of Twyn Rivers Drive
was approximately 51 km/h with an 85th percentile speed (the maximum speed at which
85% or the bulk of the traffic travels at) of 57 km/h. The traffic study also indicated that
there were approximately 5500 vehicles using Twyn Rivers Drive daily during this time.
Based on the traffic investigation, Engineering Services staff recommended an
increased police presence on Twyn Rivers Drive.
In late 2010, the Durham Regional Police provided speed radar enforcement on Twyn
Rivers Drive on multiple occasions. In addition, at the request of area residents, ROAD
WATCH, a community group aimed at increasing safety on our roadways, provided
numerous speed board set ups on Twyn Rivers Drive during different days/times in late
2010.
In addition, in an effort to educate motorists and encourage slower speeds, on February
10, 2011, city staff installed warning signs that read `Reduce Speed' with an arrow
indicating ahead at the bottom of the hill near the west city limit and `Reduce Speed.
Now' near the top of the hill in the eastbound direction. A steep hill warning sign was
also installed in the westbound direction.
In May 2011, the Durham Regional Police placed their speed board on Twyn Rivers
Drive for approximately two weeks. In addition to displaying the speed of passing
vehicles, the speed board captured information related to traffic volume and vehicular
speed. Data from the speed board was provided to Engineering Services staff from the
Durham Regional Police and indicated similar speeds and traffic volume to the
Engineering Services staffs traffic study. Since the speed board was removed, the
Durham Regional Police has provided enforcement on Twyn Rivers Drive on many
occasions.
Report CS 30-11 September 12,, 2011
Subject: Speed Limits By-law, Twyn Rivers Drive Page 3
Community Safety Zones By-law, Twyn Rivers Drive 21
A resident on Twyn Rivers Drive had then asked city staff to investigate traffic calming
measures on Twyn Rivers Drive, including lowering the speed limit between the west
city limit and Hoover Drive from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, and extending the community
safety zone adjacent to St. Monica Catholic School further west to include all
residences along the roadway.
City staff investigated the request for the speed limit change on Twyn Rivers Drive from
50 km/h to 40 km/h and extension of the community safety zone with the assistance
and input from the Durham Regional Police. Based on the investigation, the following
was determined:
1. Being an Arterial Type C roadway, Twyn Rivers Drive is exempt from the 40 km/h
speed limit adopted by the City for local and collector roadways. The existing 50
km/h speed limit is an appropriate speed for the design of the roadway, however, it
is recognized that many vehicles travel over the posted limit making it difficult for
residents to egress their driveways. Sightlines are also a contributing factor for
residents having difficulties egressing their driveways.
Some residents along Twyn Rivers Drive believe that lowering the speed limit would
make the roadway safer since vehicles should travel at a lower speed. However, it is
known that motorists tend to drive the speed that they are comfortable at and that
lowering the speed limit may not change the actual speed of motorists but instead
cause a higher percentage of non-compliant drivers. This would increase the
chances of more motorists being fined when entering Pickering from Toronto.
However, the Durham Regional Police is in favour of this change as it will assist
them with their enforcement efforts, and Engineering Services staff concur.
2. Currently, the City of Pickering utilizes Community.Safety Zones solely around
schools where the safety of children are of a prime concern, no other street in
Pickering has a Community Safety Zone outside of a school area. However,
Community Safety Zones can be used in any location, not just around schools,
where the safety of residents and all users of the roadway is a concern. On Twyn
Rivers Drive, the residential homes front onto both the north and south sides of the
roadway and, with the difficulties that residents are experiencing backing out of their
driveways (especially residents on the north side near the top of the hill), extending
the Community Safety Zone is feasible and recommended.
It should be noted that the rules of the road do not change within a community
safety zone; however, the penalties for violations of the traffic laws can be
substantially increased. This increased fine structure may provide a sufficient
deterrent to discourage aggressive driving, It would be the decision of the Durham
Regional Police whether or not to impose increased fines of offending motorists.

22
Therefore, based on the investigation and information from the traffic study, and with
the support of the Durham Regional Police, Engineering Services staff proposes that
the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to change the speed limit on Twyn
Rivers Drive from 50km/h to 40km/h from the west city limit to Hoover Drive and to
extend the Community Safety Zone from Hoover Drive to the most western residence
on Twyn Rivers Drive.
The existing and proposed speed limits and community safety zone on Twyn Rivers
Drive can be found graphically on the attached sketch (Attachment 1).

Subject: Traffic and Parking By-law, Liverpool Road
Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 31-11 of the Director, Community Services regarding a
proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 be received; and
2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking on highways or parts of
highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering.
Executive Summary: Due to recently completed improvements to Liverpool Road
between Annland Street and Wharf Street, including the construction of parking lay-bys,
City staff have removed the existing `No Parking' signage on the west side in this
section of Liverpool Road and recommend that the municipal Traffic and Parking By-
law 6604/05 be amended to allow parking on both sides of Liverpool Road between
Annland Street and Wharf Street.
Financial Implications: The removal of no parking signs has no financial
implications.
Sustainability Implications: The traffic concerns as presented and the
recommendations, as generated by staff, address traffic safety issues within the social
objectives of corporate sustainability.
Background: In July 2011, improvements to Liverpool Road between Annland
Street and Wharf Street were completed and included the construction of parking lay-
bys. Prior to the construction of the parking lay-bys, the west side of Liverpool Road
from Annland Street to Wharf Street was designated as a "no parking" area. To avoid
confusion and to promote parking in the lay-bys, the No Parking signs have since been
removed on this section of roadway.

Based on this and in an ongoing effort to keep the municipal Parking By-laws current
and accurate, Engineering Services staff recommends that the municipal Traffic and
Parking By-law 6604/05 be amended to allow parking on both sides of Liverpool Road
between Annland Street and Wharf Street.
The removed "no parking" area and recently constructed parking lay-bys on Liverpool
Road between Annland Street and Wharf Street are shown graphically in Attachment 1.

Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject: Municipal Performance Measurement Program - Provincially Mandated
Public Reporting of Performance Measures
Recommendation: That Report CST 32-11 of the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer be received for information.
Executive Summary: The City is mandated by the Province of Ontario to report on
Performance Measures for specific key service areas. The collection and reporting of
these efficiency and effectiveness measures is derived from the Financial Information
Return filed by the City with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. These
measurements are being submitted and reported by the Treasurer under the direction of
Provincial authority.
Each year, measures for reporting are refined, altered and added on to, making year
over year comparisons difficult. For example, in 2008 all municipalities had to report on
28 measures. Effective 2009, this was increased to 49 measures.
Attached are the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) results for
2010, together with a supplemental information package that will be made available on
the City's website, a comparison to the 2009 measures, if applicable, and a copy of the
Public Notice that will appear in the News Advertiser at the end of September 2011.
Financial Implications: This report does not contain any financial implications.
Sustainability Implications: The measures reported herein will aid Council, staff, the
public and the Province to analyze and assess the following:
• Costs of various services,
• Changes on each measures over the years, and
• Service areas for review and improvement.
These measures are important and useful in assisting and analyzing our service
delivery to meet our corporate priorities and best practices.
Report CST 32-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: 2010 Municipal Performance Measurement Program Page 2
Background: Attachment 1 is the information mandated by the Province to be
reported to the public by September 30, 2011. The set of information required for
reporting changes every year as identified by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing. Comments pertaining to the compilation and interpretation of the data have
been included to aid in the explanation and understanding of what is being reported.
Every year, these measures continue to evolve as existing ones are revised and new
ones added as feedback from municipalities are received and taken into consideration
by the Province. In addition, there are continuous refinements to the way measures are
defined and calculated, especially in the areas of Roadways, Parks, Recreation and
more recently in Fire prevention, where new and modified measures are being reported
in recent years.. Municipalities also continue to improve on their methods of data
collection in an attempt to ensure consistency in reporting. This leads to improving the
measures to better serve the interests of the public and municipal needs for evaluating
the efficiency and effectiveness of the services we provide in the municipality.
However, caution must still be taken against municipality-to-municipality comparisons
due to the fact that no two municipalities are identical in their geography, rural vs. urban
mix, the level of service provided and treatment of information for data collection.
It will only be through continuing efforts, ongoing experience, further clarifications from
the Province and consistent reporting formulas that year-to-year comparisons within the
municipality and across municipalities will become meaningful.
The resulting measures will be posted on the City's website, as was the case in past
years, and a notice to this effect, per Attachment 3, will be included in the "Community
Page" of the local newspaper. The information will also be available to anyone wishing
to pick up a copy at City Hall.

Year 2010 Performance Measurement Report
Overview
As required by the Ontario Government's Municipal Performance Measurement
Program (MPMP), the Treasurer of the City of Pickering, as part of its 2010 Financial
Information Return (FIR) package, has submitted financial and related service
performance measurements to the Province.
This program was announced in 2000 by the Ontario Government, which requires
municipalities to collect data on measures of effectiveness and efficiency in key service
areas and report these measures to the Province and the Public.
The objectives of the Province are: to enhance local government transparency and
accountability by reporting specific measures to the taxpayers; to increase taxpayers
awareness on service plans, standards and costs at the municipal level; to improve
local service delivery by sharing best practices with comparable municipalities and
provide municipalities with useful data to make informed local service level decisions
while optimizing available resources. As municipalities change and grow, its citizens
expect to receive quality, cost effective services. Performance measurements are a
means of benchmarking these services that will allow the City to- review and improve
their delivery. Existing measures are continuously refined and new measures are
introduced depending on the value and importance for public information.
In reporting the results to the public, each measure is accompanied by comments
regarding aspects of the measurement. The comments are an integral part in the
interpretation of the performance measure results. These results should not be
compared across municipalities without consideration on the comments that impact the
interpretation and understanding of individual results. In addition, influencing factors in
the collection of data or refinements while the measures are still evolving could affect
the current year's results and the year over year comparability.
Starting with the 2009 reporting year, efficiency measures based on Total Costs per
Unit are to be reported to the public. Total Costs are calculated as the sum of Operating
Costs, Interest on Long Term Debt and Amortization of related capital assets. The Total
Costs per Unit measure add an important dimension to efficiency measures by including
capital costs and interest on long term debt.
New for 2010, all Total Costs per unit measures will net out Revenue from Other
Municipalities related to Tangible Capital Assets (inputs on Schedule 12). This was
previously reported in Schedule 52 prior to 2009 but was discontinued thereafter. In
2010 for the City of Pickering, no revenues were received from other municipalities
related to capital assets. Hence, all measures affected by this change in 2010 should be
comparable to 2009.
City of Pickering
Year 2010 Performance Measurement Report 3
Also new for 2010, the formula for Operating Costs for paved roads in calculating
efficiency (Schedule 91) has been changed to net out revenue received from utilities for
utility cut repairs. This change should provide a more accurate picture of expenses on
the maintenance of municipal roads. However, no revenue was received by the City in
2010 from utilities as all utility cut repairs were done by the utilities themselves.
For the calculation of measures pertaining to a per person or per 1,000 persons bases,
the City population in 2010 was 93,315 compared to 92,950 in 2009.

2010 2009
7.90% 7.00%
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for governance and corporate management as a percentage of total
municipal operating costs.
Objective
To determine the efficiency of municipal management.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
• The extent that cost centers within municipalities directly relate to the functions
included under the governance and corporate management categories.
• The level of service provided to the corporation and the public.
Detailed Comments
Calculation of this measure includes the total of the operating costs for governance,
corporate management and related allocation from program support expenditures net
of tax write-offs over total municipal operating costs.
Note that 2010 was a municipal election year and related costs have contributed to
the increase in governance and corporate operating expenses. Also, the
implementation of the harmonized sales tax may have increased overall expenses on
items that were previously charged only with the GST.

Objective
To determine the efficiency of municipal management.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
• The extent that cost centers within municipalities directly relate to the functions
-included under the governance and corporate management categories.
• The level of service provided to the corporation and the public.
Detailed Comments
Calculation of this measure includes the total operating costs for governance and
corporate management, related interest on long term debt and amortization net of
revenue received from other municipalities on tangible capital assets over total
municipal cost.
The increase from 6.0% in 2009 to 6.8% in 2010 was driven by the increase in
related operating costs identified on the previous measure..

2.1a Operating Costs for Fire Services
2010 2009
$1.36 $1.43
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for fire services per $1,000 of assessment..
Objective
Provide efficient municipal fire services.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Emergency response times
• Number and location of fire halls
Urban/rural mix of properties as well as density of buildings
• Geographic size of municipality
Detailed Comments
Assessment value does not necessarily correlate to operating cost for fire services.
The higher the assessment value, the lower the cost per $1,000 assessment.
Conversely the urban/rural mix of the community affects the results as do the size
and type of commercial/industrial establishments within the municipality.
Number of households, response time and urban/rural mix of the municipality are
factors that determine the need for fire services and not necessarily property value.
Although there was a slight increase in operating expenses from 2009, the decrease
in the 2010 measure was primarily due to the increase in the value of property
assessment (denominator) from 2009.

Objective

General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Emergency response times
• Number and location of fire halls
• Urban/rural mix of properties as well as density of buildings
• Geographic size of municipality
• Capital costs and interest on long term debt
Detailed Comments
The numerator in the calculation of this measure adds interest on long term debt and
amortization to the total operating costs for Fire Services. However, like in the
previous measure, the assessment value as denominator does not necessarily
correlate to the total cost for fire services. The higher the assessment value, the
lower the cost per $1,000 assessment. Conversely the urban/rural mix of the
community affects the results as with the size and type of commercial/industrial
establishments.
Number of households, response time and urban/rural mix of the municipality are key
factors that determine the need for fire services and not necessarily the property
value. The slight decrease in the resulting measure for 2010 was primarily due to the
increase in total property assessment value from 2009.

4.1a Operating Costs for Paved Roads
2010 2009
$1,814.61 $1,958.98
Efficiency Measure
Revised Measure - Operating costs for paved (hard top) roads per lane kilometre.
Objective
Provide efficient maintenance of paved roads.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Use of roads by heavy equipment.
• The municipality's standard for road conditions in comparison with comparable
municipalities.
• Kilometres of paved roads in the municipality.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (such as office supplies, telephone,
advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance, other .
indirect costs) used in the determination of the numerator when there is not a
separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
Paved (hard top) roads include roads with asphalt surface, concrete surface,
composite pavement, Portland cement or surface treatment.
The identified costs attributable to this measure include related employee wages &
benefits, road materials, contracted services, program support, rental of heavy
equipment and shoulder maintenance.
The City of Pickering maintains separate accounts to track material costs related to
roads. However, the costs for administration and other indirect costs have been
allocated to the cost for paved roads based on management's best estimate of the
proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road functions such as maintenance of
paved and unpaved roads and winter control.
In 2010, the calculation of the operating costs was revised to net out revenue from
utilities for utility cut repairs. However, utilities repair their own road cuts after
completing all intended works so no related revenues are being collected by the City.
The decrease in the resulting measure for 2010 can be attributed to the decrease in
the volume of purchased materials compared to 2009. With the continuous and
expeditious repairs done on existing paved roadways, cost of maintenance are
reduced accordingly. The City maintained a total of 704 kilometres of paved roads in
2010 compared to 703 kilometres in 2009.

$5,574.86 $6,155.67
Efficiency Measure
Revised Measure - Total costs for paved (hard top) roads per lane kilometre.
Objective
Provide efficient maintenance of paved roads.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Use of roads by heavy equipment.
• The municipality's standard for road conditions in comparison with comparable
municipalities.
• Kilometres of paved roads in the municipality.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (such as office supplies, telephone,
advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance, other
indirect costs) used in the determination of the numerator when there is not a
separate cost centre.
• Interest on long term debt and amortization on capital costs.
• Revenue received from other municipalities related to tangible capital assets.
Detailed Comments
The total cost is calculated by adding the calculated operating costs, interest on long
term debt and amortization net of revenue received from other municipalities related
to tangible capital assets. Although no related revenue was received in 2010, the
decrease in the calculation for 2010 was largely due to the decrease in the volume of
purchased materials and a decrease in amortization amount on tangible capital
assets compared to 2009.
The decrease in related costs reported on the previous measure translates to a
decrease in the resulting total cost measure. The City maintained 704 kilometres of
paved road in 2010 compared to 7.03 kilometres in 2009.

The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Use of the roads by heavy equipment.
• The kilometres of unpaved roads in the municipality 'in comparison with
comparable municipalities.
• . Locations of the unpaved roads.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (that includes office supplies, telephone,
advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance, other
indirect costs) used in the determination of the numerator when there is not a .
separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
Unpaved (loose top) roads include roads with gravel, stone or other loose surface.
The City of Pickering maintains separate accounts to track material costs related to
roads. However, the cost for administration and other indirect costs have been
allocated to the cost of unpaved roads based on management's best estimate of the
proportion or responsibility dedicated to the road functions such as maintenance of
paved and unpaved roads and winter control.
The operating costs of maintaining the City's unpaved roads include employee wages
& benefits, amount granular materials, administering calcium programs, program
support, contracted services, rental of heavy equipment, grading, wash out repair and
shoulder maintenance.
In 2010, the City used less granular materials on many unpaved roads due to lesser
than usual washouts in the spring reducing expenditures. The City maintained 214
kilometres of unpaved lanes in the reporting year compared to 216 in 2009.

.Operating costs for bridges and culverts per square metre of surface area.
Objective
Provide efficient maintenance of bridges and culverts.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Use of bridges and causeways.
• Location of bridges and culverts.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (that includes office supplies, telephone,
advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance, other
indirect costs) used in the determination of the numerator when there is not a
separate cost centre:
Detailed Comments
The operating costs of maintaining the City's bridges and culverts include employees'
wages and benefits, materials used for repairs & maintenance, contracted services,
rental of equipment, program support less revenue from other municipalities.
In 2010, the. City did not incur any operating costs related to the repairs &
maintenance of bridges and culverts, as was in 2009.
However, the total surface area of bridges and culverts measured in 2010 was 9,474
square metres compared to 8,599 in 2009. This increase was a result of a recent
municipal bridge and culvert inspection and assessment study that provided a more
accurate measure of the total surface area.of qualified bridges and culverts by
definition.

Provide efficient maintenance of bridges and culverts.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
• Use of bridges and causeways.
• Locations of bridges and culverts.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (that includes office supplies, telephone,
advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance, other

Detailed Comments
The total costs of maintaining the City's bridges and culverts is the sum of the total
operating cost, interest on long term debt and amortization less revenue from other
municipalities related to tangible capital assets.
The resulting measure was slightly lower by about 14% from $24.70 in 2009 to
$21.30 in 2010. The decrease was largely due to the increase in the total square
metres of surface area on bridges and culverts used as denominator in calculating
the measure. The increase in surface area from 8,599 square metres in 2009 to
9,474 square metres in 2010 was a result of a recent bridge and culvert assessment
study that provided a more accurate measure on the total surface area of qualified
bridges and culverts.

Objective
Provide efficient winter maintenance of roadways.
General Comments
i
The following factors can influence the above results:
• The municipality's standard service levels for road conditions.
• The kilometres of paved and unpaved roads in the municipality in comparison with
comparable municipalities.
• The method of allocating overhead costs (that includes office supplies, travel,
telephone, advertising, subscriptions, insurance, general repairs and maintenance,
other indirect costs) used in the determination of the numerator when there is not a
separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
Since 2004 the City of Pickering has maintained a separate account to track material
costs that are directly related to winter control of roadways. The costs for
administration and other indirect costs however have been allocated based on
management's best estimate of the proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road
function for winter control.
The total operating cost of the City's winter control maintenance includes related
employee wages & benefits, salt, sand & other materials, program support, equipment
rental and culvert thawing.
The decrease in costs of winter maintenance on roads from 2009 was due to the lesser
intensity of winter events experienced in 2010. This resulted in less use of de-icing
materials and related staff overtime. The City maintained 918 kilometres of lanes
during the winter season.

management:
• The geography of the City
• The extent and age of the drainage system
• The inventory of pipes in the Municipality
Detailed Comments
Storm-water management has become increasingly important in the urban area as the
City continues to develop and intensify. Impacts such as flooding, erosion and poor
water quality are being addressed through watershed wide controls thus reducing the
pressures that are put on watercourses and Frenchman's Bay.
This performance measure identifies direct costs related to the efficient collection,
treatment and conveyance of stormwater from urban areas against total kilometres of
urban drainage systems. Direct costs include salaries/wages/benefits, contracted
services and materials, storm pipe cleaning, flushing, video inspection, catch
basin/manhole repairs, storm pipe repairs, cleaning of specialized oil and grit
separators.
The City maintained 295 km of urban drainage system in 2010, the same as what was
maintained in 2009. The operating cost increase in the resulting,measure for 2010 from
2009 was largely due to the increase in staff salaries/wages/benefits.

PICKERIlyG Report Number: CST 33-11
g 6 Date: September 12, 2011
From: Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject: 2011 Final Tax Due Dates for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Residential
Realty Tax Classes
Recommendation:
1. That Report CST 33-11 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to issue the final
2011 Tax Bills for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-residential properties with a
due date of October 14, 2011;
3. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to make any
changes or undertake any actions necessary, including altering the due date, in
order to ensure the tax billing process is completed and in order to comply with
Provincial Regulations;
4. That the draft By-law attached to this report be enacted; and,
5. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary
actions to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: Adoption of the above recommendations and passing the
attached By-law provides for the final 2011 tax billing for non-residential tax classes
(commercial, industrial and multi-residential). During the last few years, the City has
billed the final non-residential taxes separately mainly due to the additional steps that
are required as a result of the capping legislation.
Financial Implications: The attached By-law is for the final billing of 2011 property
taxes for commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties. This billing of final
property taxes will raise approximately $20.8 million for the City, Durham Region and
School Boards. Tax bills for the Residential tax classes were mailed on May 19, 2011
with due dates of June 29th and September 29tH
Sustainability Implications: Passing the attached By-law will allow the City to obtain the
Report CST 33-11 September 12, 2011

funds required to maintain its financial sustainability objectives as provided for in the
2011 Current Budget. It also provides for the raising of property taxes for the Region of
Durham and the school boards.
Background: In 1998, the Province introduced Current Value Assessment or CVA
on a Province wide basis to replace the old patch quilt system (throughout the Province)
where each municipality used a different base year for assessment purposes. The end
result of CVA was the fact that some businesses were experiencing property tax
increases well above 100%. To reduce the property tax increases, the Province
introduced capping legislation in 1998.
The City of Pickering will soon be in a position to issue the final 2011 property tax bills in
accordance with the capping provisions of Bill 140, Continued Protection for Property
Taxpayers Act, passed by the Province on December 4, 2000 and implemented
through various Regulations. (Bill 140 replaced the original capping legislation of Bill 79
introduced and approved in 1998). This legislation was put in place to limit assessment
reform related increases to 5% per year on commercial, industrial and multi-residential
properties. Under this legislation, property owners facing increases due to property
assessment reform had their increases "capped" (reduced). Conversely, those
properties experiencing decreases were limited to that permitted under the legislation.
This meant that taxes have to be "clawed back" from those experiencing decreases to
fund the loss of revenue resulting from the capped increases.
The funding of the capping protection is "paid for" on a Region wide basis. The Region
of Durham acts like a banker in this process. In other words, the total cost of the
capping protection, for example the commercial tax class, is paid for by the other
commercial properties throughout the Region by having a portion of their related
property tax decrease withheld (clawed back). As part of the Region wide process, the
City of Pickering uses a Provincial database program called "Online Property Tax
Analysis" (OPTA) to verify non-residential assessment data. Every municipality within
Durham Region uses the OPTA system. Assessment Review Board decisions and
Minutes of Settlement decisions have been incorporated into the capping calculations
up to the "freeze" date of May 27, 2011.
Bill 83 - Legislative Changes to Capping Legislation
In 2004, the Province passed Bill 83 (An Act to Implement Budget Measures), which
provided for various optional tax tools that could be used for the non-residential tax
class. In a two tier municipal government structure, the upper tier has the option to
select all or some of the tax tools. These tax tools consisted of the following options:
1. The assessment related increase cap was increased from 5% to 10%0.
Report CST 33-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: 2011 Final Tax Due Dates for Commercial, Industrial and Multi- Page 3
9s Residential Realty Tax Classes
2. Minimum annual threshold increase of 5% of total CVA property taxation.
3. A "billing" threshold be established whereby a property who is within the $250 of its
CVA based taxation would be required to pay its full CVA property taxes.
4. The minimum CVA for new construction properties was 60% in 2006. These
properties (new construction) are now fully phased-in.
The purpose of these tax tools is to accelerate the movement of non-residential
taxpayers to full CVA taxes (where taxes are calculated using Current Value
Assessment multiplied by the corresponding tax rate). The Region of Durham adopted
all of the tax tools referenced above.
Under the Municipal Act, Subsection 343 (1), the tax bills have to be mailed 21 days
before the due date. Taxation staff are cognizant of this legislative requirement and
design the tax billing process to meet this requirement. However, there have been a
few requests from the taxpayers for a longer period of time ( beyond the 21 day period).
If the report is approved at the Executive Committee level, the outside printer will be
given direction to start printing and mailing the tax bills and therefore, provide a
longer notification period that in-turn is meeting some of the customers' requests.
In 2011, the City of Pickering issued an interim tax bill to all property owners in all tax
classes with two instalment dates of February 25th and April 28th. The proposed final
instalment due date of October 14th for all properties in the Non-Residential tax classes,
provides these tax classes with some additional time to pay their tax bill. Table One
below illustrates the final billing due dates for the non-residential tax classes from 2005
to 2011.

PICKERING Report Number: CST 34-11
102 Date: September 12, 2011
From: Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject: Cash Position Report as at June 30, 2011
Recommendation: That Report CST 34-11 of the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer be received for information.
Executive Summary: The attached schedules provide the City of Pickering's cash
position, continuity of taxes receivable, outstanding investments, development charges
collected, building permits issued and other development contribution information for
the six months ended June 30, 2011. In summary, our mid-year 2011 operational
results are relatively the same compared to the same period results last year.
Local economic activity appears to be slightly and slowly improving from the recent
world wide slowdown. However, not all indicators are positive as shown below for the
first six months of 2011.
• Cash available increased from $7.3M to $7.8M.
• Property taxes receivable increased over the same period in 2010 from $53.3M
to $57.3M partly reflecting increases in taxes billed for the City and.the Region
(approximately 7.5%).
• Development charges collected for the City, Region and School Boards
increased over the same period.in 2010 from $2.4M to $4.2M (approximately
75%).
• Building permits issued decreased over the same period in 2010 from 308 to 200
(approximately 35%).
• Investment portfolio returns continue at historically low levels.
Financial Implications: The cash position of the Corporation for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 was a net increase in cash of $493,215 to $7,776,184. Sources
of Funds totalled $139,783,895 and Uses of Funds totalled $139,290,680. The net
cash balance together with the total current short term investments show that the City is
in a sound financial position to meet the requirements for the remainder of 2011.
Report CST 34-11 Date: September 12, 2011
Subject: Cash Position Report as at June 30, 2011 Page 21 03
Sustainability Implications: The maintenance of a healthy cash position contributes to
sustainable financial management, as one of the City's Corporate Priorities.
Background: This report presents a summary of activity for the six months ending
June 30; 2011. The discussion below describes the purpose and the information
contained in each of the attached schedules.
Statement of Cash Position:
Attachment 1 reflects the sources and uses of funds for,the first half of 2011.
Subcategories have been identified to highlight those cash transactions that are
significant in nature or large dollar value transactions for the City. This schedule
summarizes the increase in cash of $493,215 over the first six months of 2011. Year to
year periodical comparisons however may not be useful due to differences in timing of
receipts and disbursements.
Continuity of Taxes Receivable:
Attachment 2 summarizes the tax related transactions from January 1 to June 30, 2011
and provides the outstanding taxes receivable as at June 30, 2011. This balance
represents all three levels of taxes billed for the City, Region and School Boards. The
June balance is not indicative of the true outstanding taxes for the City due to the timing
of billing,and receipts. The outstanding balance includes the amounts owing for the
September 29th residential due date of approximately $31.OM. The commercial final
billing has not been billed hence not included in the total. Furthermore, with the City's
pre-authorized payment plan, payment of taxes are spread over 10 months and
artificially overstate outstanding taxes at June.
Summary of taxes receivables are as follows:
Current Year as at June 30, 2011:
• Taxes billed to date: $146.OM (excludes final commercial biling)
• Taxes receivable at Jun 30/11: $50.8M
• Taxes paid: $102.OM
All years as at June 30, 2011:
• Total taxes outstanding: $57.3M
• Current year outstanding: $51.1M
• Prior years outstanding: $6.2M
The year to date's taxes receivable is up by approximately $4.0 million or 7.5% as
compared to the same period last year. This increase is mainly due to the fact that the
City and the Region increase the amount billed each year due to budgetary levy
increases.

Outstanding Investments:
Attachment 3 reflects the short-term and long-term investments for both the Current
and Reserve Funds as at June 30, 2011. Investments vary year over year depending
on the timing of the collection and remittance of development charges and
supplementary taxes. Total investment portfolio as at June 30, 2011 is $67.9 million
with $1.1 million coming from internal loans and $66.8 million from general investments.
Development Charges Collected:
The City is responsible for collecting development charges on behalf of all levels of
government. Attachment 4 indicates the total development charges collected for the
City, Region and School Boards. The total amount collected of $4,202,361 agrees with
the balance indicated under Sources of Funds on Attachment 1. However, the
remittance of development charges to the Region and School Boards indicated under
the Use of Funds is different than the total collected on Attachment 4. This variance is
a result of timing differences because payments to the Region and School Boards are
due 25 days following the month collected.
The total development charges collected in the first six months of 2011 increased
75.0% from the same period in 2010 from $2.4M to $4.2M.
Other Development Contributions:
Attachment 5 is provided to show other significant development contributions that have
been received.
Multi year Receipts:
The balance of the tables shows multi year receipts. The first half of 2011 total
collection for the City's portion of development charges is up by almost 66.2% over the
same period last year. Building permits issued is down by about 35.1% to 200 permits
issued during the first half of this year compared to 308 issued in same period last year.

Executive Committee
PT 1CKERI G Report Number: CST 35-11
Date: September 12, 2011
113
From: Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject: Council Compensation Policy
Recommendation:
1. That Report CST 35-11 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the revised wording for.Section 06.03 of the Council Compensation Policy,
included as Attachment #1, be approved; and,
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take.the
necessary actions to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: Section 06.03 of the Council Compensation Policy provides
that the City shall contribute to a Member of Council's Registered Retirement Savings
Plan (RRSP). Currently, the section requires that the City make the contribution directly
to the respective member's. financial institution in January of the following year.
The proposed change is to provide the Members of Council with a second option for
receiving a contribution to their RRSP from the City. The Member of Council could
make a contribution to their RRSP during the course of the year and the City then,
reimburse that member, to a maximum of 13%. of their earned salary, in January of the
following year.
Financial Implications: There are no financial. implications associated with this
report.
Sustainability Implications: There are no sustainability implications associated with
this report.
Background: Section 06.03 of the Council Compensation Policy provides that the
City shall contribute to a Member of Council's Registered Retirement Savings Plan
(RRSP) to a maximum of 13% of the member's earned salary. This contribution is
i
Report CST 35-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: Council Compensation Policy Page 2
made directly to the member's financial institution before January 31St of the following
year and is only provided if the member confirms they have sufficient contribution room.
With the contribution being made in January, the member of Council has the benefit of
recognizing the deduction in either the previous or current tax year. However, at the
same time, it may limit when the contribution is being made. There may be times that it
may be advantageous to make contributions to an RRSP at other times throughout the
year to benefit from conditions in the financial markets. In effect, the member would be
limited to only having a contribution made in January or having to reduce their
contribution to account for the City's contribution being made in January on their behalf.
The City can only make the contribution in the following year to ensure the member of
council has earned their full salary for the year as this is what the contribution is based
upon.
Therefore, it is proposed that the member of council have the option of making a
contribution to their RRSP during the course of the year and the City would then
reimburse the member directly, to a maximum of 13% of the member's earned salary, in
January of the following year after the member provided evidence of the contribution
being made to their own or spousal RRSP. This would provide the member the
flexibility of the timing of the contribution. Two options would now be available to
members of Council.

Section 06.03 of Council Compensation Policy (revised) 115
06.03 A Member of Council may maintain a Registered Retirement
Savings Plan (RRSP), either own or spousal, under Federal
legislation to which the Corporation shall contribute a maximum of
13% of the Member's earned salary each year.
a) To have the City make the contribution or reimburse for
the contribution, the Member of Council must provide:
i. Written confirmation that a member has sufficient
contribution room, as provided by the Canada
Revenue Agency on their notice of assessment, to
accommodate the City's contribution shall be
provided to the Treasurer no later than December
31St in any given year and the City's contribution shall
be made directly to that RRSP no later than January
31 st of the next calendar year.
OR
ii. Evidence of a contribution by a Member towards
an RRSP shall be provided to the Treasurer no
later than December 31St in any given year. The
member will then be reimbursed for the
contribution, to a maximum of 13% of the
Member's earned salary, no later than January
31St of the next calendar year.
b) The word "salary" shall mean the annual base salary, pro-
rated for a Member not holding office for an entire calendar
year, of the Mayor and Councillors and it excludes all, taxable
benefits and allowances. The contribution to an RRSP is a
taxable benefit regardless of whether it is paid to the Member
of Council or the financial institution.
c) The City shall make its contribution only in the month of
January of the next calendar year regardless of when the
Member of Council made a contribution, except when a
Member of Council ceases to hold office during the year, in
which case a whole or partial contribution will be made in that
year.

PI `KERING Report Number: CST 36-11
1 1 6 Date: September 12, 2011
From: Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject: Tender / Contract Approval
- Councils' Summer Recess
Recommendation:
1. That Report CST 36-11 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer regarding
tender and contract approvals during Councils' Summer Recess be received; and,
2. That Council pass a resolution ratifying the approval of the Tenders and Contracts
by the Chief Administrative Officer during Councils' summer recess being: Request
for Proposal No. RFP-2-2011 - Design, Supply and Installation of two Ultra Violet
Treatment Systems at two City Pools; and, Request for Proposal No. RFP-3-2011 -
Redesign of Website.
Executive Summary: Council is required to approve contracts awarded by the Chief
Administrative Officer during recesses of Council. The tender and contract approvals
contained in this report were approved by the Chief Administrative Officer during the
summer recess of Council, which met City Policy and were within the approved Budget.
Financial Implications: The capital projects listed and described in this report are being
funded from various sources as approved by Council in Capital Budgets.
The total projected costs are below budget in the net amount of $4,868.24 and the surplus
funds will be returned to the various funding sources for use in future budgets.
The projects were awarded to the only proponent of one RFP and the highest scoring
proponent for the other RFP and were within budget as required by Resolution #80/02
and therefore within staff's authority to approve during Council's recess. There are no
additional financial implications associated with these projects or this report.
Sustainability Implications: The addition of the UV systems will reduce the use of harsh
chemicals in water, resulting in the reduction of maintenance costs as well as improving
the safety and quality of water.

"2. That, subject to the Council approved Purchasing Policy & Procedures, the Chief
Administrative Officer be authorized to act in Council's approval capacity on behalf
of Council during any recess, break or absence of City Council on the condition
that.
(a) such actions are in compliance with the Purchasing Policy & Procedure as
approved under Resolution 136102; and
(b) the costs thereof are within the budget previously approved by Council; and
(c) a report respecting those approvals is subsequently submitted to Council."
Circumstances were such that two proposals required approval by the Chief
Administrative Officer during Council's summer 2011 recess. It is recommended that
Council receive this Report for information and ratify the approval of Request for
Proposal No. RFP-2-2011, Design, Supply and Installation of two Ultra Violet Treatment
Systems at two City Pools and Request for Proposal No. RFP-3-2011, Redesign of

Complex were approved by Council in the 2011 Capital Budget at an estimated cost of $80,000.
The installation of these two systems will improve disinfection, lower chlorine usage and reduce
chloramines in City pools.
Requests for Proposals were invited from six companies and the only proposal received was
submitted by Water & Ice North America Inc. This company's references have been checked and
are deemed acceptable by the Director, Community Services. The total net project cost to supply
and install the UV disinfection system is $77,086 (net of HST rebate).
The Community Services Department recommends that the bid of Water & Ice North America Inc.
be accepted.

The 2011 Budget for the design, supply and installation of two UV disinfection systems was
approved to be funded from the Recreation Complex .Pool Surcharge Reserve.
Sustainability Implications:
The addition of the UV systems will reduce the use of harsh chemicals in water, resulting in the
reduction of maintenance costs as well as improving the safety and quality of water.
Background:
The addition of proven UV technology used in the treatment of drinking water in pools has enabled
municipalities to provide increased protection to the participants and users of the swimming pools
in the City. The City pools are used seven days per week, seventeen hours per day and the
high bather loads associated with public pools can. easily overwhelm traditional methods
of disinfection such as chlorine treatment. Ultraviolet disinfection is proven to improve safety and
protect our patrons against microorganisms, including chlorine. resistant organisms such as
Cryptosporidium.
The use of UV to treat swimming pool water is similar to using UV light to disinfect drinking water.
The UV lamps used for germicidal disinfection produces a portion of its light in the 254-nm
wavelength in medium pressure technology. At the 254-nm wavelength, UV light destroys
bacteria, protozoa, viruses, molds, algae and other microbes. This includes fecal coliform and

Violet Treatment Systems

such waterborne diseases such as E-coli, hepatitis, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever as well as
many others.
124
The use of UV for swimming puol disinfection does not mean the complete elimination of chlorine.
A residual is still required, but using UV for disinfection will lower chemical costs and usage,
provide instantaneous disinfection (chemicals require a residence time), lower disinfection by-
products (chloramines) that have been associated with cancers and.provide less intensive
maintenance.
Benefits of UV disinfection systems
• Virtually eliminates chloramines in the pool (musty chlorine smell)
• Significant increase in water quality
• Reduces the cause of red eye and skin irritation
• No more unpleasant odours
• Provides protection against micro-organisms including Cryptosporidium
• Reduces degradation of building components
• Reduces use of chlorine and associated chemicals

Executive Summary: The co-proponents of the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer
(SEC) project, York and Durham Regions, have committed to providing a positive
legacy to the local community most affected by the project during the SEC Individual
Environmental Assessment process. Enhancements are initiatives that are beyond
normal mitigation measures and are aimed at creating a lasting improvement to the
environment and/or human community that would not otherwise be provided.
Enhancements were recommended for the City of Pickering and the Town of Markham
as both municipalities are impacted by, but do not directly benefit from, the project.
The SEC Individual Environmental Assessment process created a list of recommended
infrastructure, recreational and ecological enhancement projects through an extensive
consultation process that included input from the public and stakeholders. Based on
the list of potential community enhancements provided by York Region, staff forwarded
Report OES 04-09 to the Executive Committee on January 12, 2009 with a list of City
staff recommended infrastructure, recreational and ecological enhancement projects.
Although the Report was endorsed by the Executive Committee, at the regular Council
meeting of January 19, 2009, the Report was referred back to staff until all outstanding
issues were addressed, specifically with respect to the location of the proposed odour
control facility (OCF) south of Cherrywood West.
In July 2010, a settlement agreement was reached between the City and York Region
that resulted in Minutes of Settlement being signed that included a commitment of $8.0
million of mutually agreeable community enhancement projects for Council's approval.
After the settlement agreement was reached, staff from Pickering, York, Durham, the
Region's consultants, and TRCA have been working on determining appropriate
enhancement projects, confirming their feasibility and preparing cost estimates.

It is recommended that Council approve the community enhancement projects
presented in this report and authorize staff to work with York Region on the
implementation of these projects in the City of Pickering, and have them incorporated
into a Funding Agreement between York Region and the City of Pickering. Also, with
Council's concurrence, City staff will enter into appropriate arrangements/contracts with
TRCA to undertake three of the twelve ecological restoration enhancements identified
in this Report, notwithstanding the provisions of the City's Purchasing Policy.
Financial Implications: There are no financial implications related to adopting the
recommendations of Report CAO 12-11 to Council. The City will benefit from $8.0
million worth of community enhancements to be implemented over the next several
years in accordance with the Minutes of Settlement and the proposed Funding
Agreement. However, future operation and maintenance costs related to the
enhancement projects will be the responsibility of the City of Pickering. The specific
enhancement projects and their estimated implementation costs will be brought forward
to Council for approval through the annual Capital Budget process.
Sustainability Implications: The Enhancement Plan is consistent with the City's five
sustainable objectives of_a healthy environment, society, economy, responsible
development and responsible consumption, as well as the City's more recently.
established Corporate Priorities.
Background:
1.1 Staff prepared Report IDES 04-09 on the infrastructure, recreational and
ecological enhancement projects for Executive Committee's consideration
On January 12, 2009, the Executive Committee considered Report OES 04-09
(Attachment #1) on the City staff recommended infrastructure, recreational and
ecological enhancement projects. The Report also provided background
information and discussion on the development of an enhancement plan.
Staff recommended enhancement projects that were within the $8.0 million
allocated for Pickering. Although the Report was endorsed by the Executive
Committee, Council referred the Report back to staff until all outstanding issues
were addressed, specifically with respect to the location of the proposed odour
control facility (OCF) south of Cherrywood West. In response to Council and
resident concerns, a new location for the OCF was proposed and subsequently
approved on the west side of York Durham Line, north of Taunton Road within
York Region.

1.2 Minutes of Settlement between the City of Pickering and York Region was
signed respecting the SEC and the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant
In November 2009, the City initiated legal action against York Region concerning
the SEC. On March 31, 2010, the Minister of Environment approved the SEC
project by issuing the Notice to Proceed with the Undertaking, subject to a
number of stringent conditions. The Minister of the Environment also included a
commitment to enhancements in Bob Hunter Park in the Town of Markham, but
no other enhancements were listed as a condition of approval.
Subsequently, Council endorsed a settlement agreement between the City and
York Region to not pursue or support a judicial review of the Minister's decision
relating to the SEC project. Within the Minutes of Settlement is a commitment
for York Region to fund $8.0 million of enhancements due to the SEC project, as
well as an additional $2.32 million in enhancements in proximity to the Duffin
Creek Water Pollution Control Plant as a result of the Stage 3 expansion.
2.0 Discussion
2.1 The implementation of an enhancement plan provides a positive legacy for
Pickering
Virtually all of the recommended enhancement projects remain consistent with
York Region's commitment to leave a positive legacy for areas of Pickering
impacted by construction of the SEC, and are consistent with the recent Minutes
of Settlement. The Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance project, although not in
close proximity to the SEC project, is a beneficial enhancement project for the
broader City community and provides recreational, environmental and
infrastructure enhancements.
2.2 A revised list of potential enhancements has been assembled by staff for
consideration under the SEC project
Staff from Pickering, York and Durham Region, their consultant AECOM Canada
Limited, and TRCA have met frequently since October 2010, to refine staff's
recommended list of infrastructure, recreational and ecological projects and the
related cost estimates. A summary of all potential enhancements are outlined
below. It is from this broader list that staff has created its refined list of high
priority. enhancement projects in Section 2.3.

• Infrastructure enhancements are primarily located in close proximity to
the planned SEC project and includes the deck replacement and widening
of the Palmer Bridge on Valley Farm Road north of Finch Avenue (crossing
West Duffins Creek), including sidewalks on both sides to increase
pedestrian safety and convenience. Other infrastructure enhancements
include local road upgrades, Valley Farm Road spot improvements, full
traffic control signals at the Finch Avenue and Maple Ridge Road/Bowler
Drive intersection, and an Intersection Pedestrian Signal on Finch Avenue
at Spruce Hill Road.
• Recreational enhancements include new multi-use trail systems within the
hydro corridor,.artificial turf to accommodate soccer and football at Beverley
Morgan Park, and a Natural Heritage Educational Program. It should be
noted that although the construction of a new multi-use trail system in the
hydro corridor from Scarborough-Pickering Townline Road to Valley Farm
Road has been identified and recommended in three segments, only the
segment from Valley Farm Road to Liverpool Road is recommended as a
high priority. Should the other two segments not be constructed using SEC
enhancement funding, staff will continue to pursue continuation of the multi-
use trail in the future through other funding sources and after extensive
public consultation.
• Ecological enhancements include restoration of the Rouge-Duffins wildlife
corridor, restoration of lands within Petticoat Creek watershed, restoration
of natural areas within the hydro corridor, naturalization within Maple Ridge
Park, and reconstruction of the storm sewer outfall at Pine Creek. Other
ecological enhancements include funding for the City's Environmental
Awareness Programs and for the Durham District School Board's
scholarship program and greening projects. Funding was provided earlier
for the Petticoat Creek Watershed Study that is now completed.
• Hybrid enhancement (infrastructure/recreational/ecological) includes
the reconstruction of the Frenchman's Bay harbour entrance. The recently
completed Municipal Class EA for the Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance
concluded that the reconstruction of the entrance would create a safe
harbour entrance that supports the marine functions of the Bay while
preserving and enhancing the'ecological conditions of the Bay. Since the
Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance project is not within the SEC study
area boundaries, it was not included in the previous list of potential
enhancements. However, it is a desirable project for the City to implement
and will benefit not only residents within the study area, but all of the
residents of the City of Pickering, and visitors to our waterfront. In
recognition of the infrastructure, environmental and recreational benefits to
the City as a whole, staff is recommending that partial funding for this
CORP0227-07/01 revised
Report CAO 12-11 September 12, 2011
142
Subject: Enhancement Projects in the City of Pickering
Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer
Page 6
estimated $9.0 million project be added to the list of high priority
enhancements in Attachment 2, and be categorized as a hybrid project.
Approximately $1.5 million has been allocated for this project from the SEC
enhancement projects funding, with the balance being provided from a
future shared municipal/provincial/federal funding program. The
Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance project was approved in the 2010
Capital as an $8.0 million projected to be funded by a $4.0 million Federal
grant and a $4.0 million Provincial grant. Staff is now recommending that
the project be funded equally by the three levels of government as stated
above, with Pickering's share being offset by a contribution from York
Region through SEC enhancement project funding. It must be
acknowledged, however, that should a municipal/provincial/federal grant
program not be announced within the time frame of the enhancement plan,
or the project not be accepted through a grant application, that the $1.5
million of SEC funds allocated for the project will be used for other
enhancement projects as set out in Attachment #3 and subject to further
Council approval.
A map showing the location of all high priority and other enhancement projects is
included as Attachment #4.
2.3 City staff have ranked all potential enhancement projects and their
associated costs under three categories - high, medium and low priority
The total estimated cost of all the potential enhancement projects exceeds the
$8.0 million program allocated for Pickering. The enhancement projects have
been evaluated by staff and have been ranked into three categories - high,
medium and low priority.
The enhancements that provide the highest benefit to the community are listed
as high priority in Table 1 (see Attachment #2) and have a total estimated cost of
$8.0, million. The medium and low priority enhancements are listed in Table 2
(see Attachment #3) and have a total estimated cost of $5.015 million. The
following chart (Summary of Table 1) indicates staff's recommendation to .
Council of the high priority enhancement projects and their associated cost
estimates which total $8.0 million.

York Region has committed to an upset amount of $8.0 million for community
enhancements in Pickering due to the SEC project. Pursuant to this
CORP0227-07/01 revised
Report CAO 12-11 September 12, 2011
14
Subject: Enhancement Projects in the City of Pickering
Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer
Page 9
commitment is the requirement for York Region and the City to execute a
Funding Agreement (see Attachment #5 - Draft Funding Agreement).
The Draft Funding Agreement has been reviewed and discussed amongst the
parties but is still being negotiated. Once the Funding Agreement is in a form
acceptable to staff, the Mayor and Clerk will be able to execute the Funding
Agreement with York Region respecting the community enhancement projects.
2.5 In recognition of TRCA's knowledge and experience, staff recommends
that TRCA be retained by the City to undertake certain ecological
restoration enhancements identified in Table 1
Three of the ecological enhancement projects are located on TRCA lands and
within the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor. The restoration of the natural areas
support the corridor's function as a vegetation connector between the Rouge and
Duffins Valley systems. TRCA's Restoration Services Section has considerable
knowledge, experience and success in undertaking restoration projects in
Pickering and elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area. TRCA staff are
professionally trained in the field of terrestrial and aquatic habitat restoration.
The City of Pickering's purchasing policy requires that formal quotations or
tenders be called for the provision of goods and services at the proposed dollar
value for these works. Based on TRCA's experience and expertise, and their
involvement in the feasibility analysis and cost estimation of the ecological
restoration enhancements, staff is recommending that Council provide
authorization to retain TRCA to undertake the restoration works identified in E2,
E3 and E5 of Table 1 at a cost not to exceed $385,000. City staff would review,
approve and manage the required works to be performed by TRCA, and issue
payment upon satisfactory completion. Both the Director, Community Services
and Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer have- been consulted with regard
to this matter and concur with this recommendation.
All other ecological enhancement projects would be procured in adherence to the
City's Purchasing Policy.
Although the Frenchman's Bay Harbour Entrance project will occur on lands that
are in the process of being transferred to TRCA by the Pickering Harbour
Company, there is no commitment at this time that the construction will be
undertaken by the TRCA.
2.6 A portion of the SEC Funds has been allocated to the Durham District
School Board and the Durham Catholic District. School Board to establish a
SEC Scholarship Fund and to assist in greening projects
CORP0227-07/01 revised
Report CAO 12-11 September 12, 2011

Page 10
For enhancement projects E8 and E9 of Table 1, approx $150,000 has been
allocated to each of the two Durham District School Boards (total of $300,000)
for schools in Pickering to establish a SEC Scholarship Fund and to fund
greening projects developed and undertaken by individual schools. York Region
are agreeable to having a scholarship funding agreement executed by the four
parties (York Region, City of Pickering, and the two District School Boards) for
the scholarship fund.
Our initial review of the draft scholarship funding agreement suggests that the
City's role is simply administrative in nature, in order to flow the funds from York
Region to the School Boards. Our recommendation is that York Region include
both the E8 and E9 projects in one funding agreement directly with the School
Boards and not include the City as party to the agreement. These discussions
with York Region and the School Boards are still ongoing.
2.7 Funding for the Petticoat Creek Watershed Action Plan has been received
from York Region
In 2009, the City of Pickering received a funding contribution of $20,000 from the
SEC Project as flow-thru funding for the Petticoat Creek Watershed Action Plan
being undertaken by TRCA. The City also contributed $10,000 toward this
Action Plan earlier in 2008. A draft of the Watershed Action Plan for Petticoat
Creek has been prepared and is currently under revision.
3.0 Next Steps
Council's approval of the enhancement plan will enable staff to collaborate with
York Region on implementing the projects planned for the 2011 to 2017 time
period. It is recommended that staff be authorized to finalize the Funding
Agreement with York Region respecting the enhancement projects.
With Council's concurrence, City staff will enter into appropriate
arrangements/contracts with TRCA to undertake the ecological restoration works
identified in this Report.
In order to communicate Council's acceptance of the community enhancement
projects, staff will prepare a media release, have information available on the
City website, and display information boards in the lobby of the Civic Complex.
City staff will provide periodic update reports on the status of the SEC
enhancements as milestones are reached, during the Capital Budget process in
future years, and through Reports to Council to award tenders related to
enhancement project delivery.

Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 04-09 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services and
the Director, Planning & Development, regarding the enhancement projects for
the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer be received;
2. That Council endorse the ecological, recreational and infrastructure
enhancement projects as set out in Attachment #2 to Report OES 04-09;
3. That Council authorize staff to work with York Region on finalizing and

4. That a copy of Report OES 04-09 be forwarded to the Region of York, Region of
Durham, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Durham District School
Board, Durham Catholic School Board, and Rouge Park Alliance for information.
Executive Summary: In February, 2006, the. Minister of Environment approved
Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer (SEC) project. The
ToR required a mitigation plan as well as the development of an enhancement plan as
part of the Individual Environmental Assessment (IEA) process. Enhancements are
aimed at creating a lasting improvement to the environment and/or human community
that would not otherwise be provided through the IEA process. The co-proponents,
York and Durham Regions, have committed to providing a positive legacy to the local
community affected by the SEC project through an enhancement plan.
The SEC process. solicited ideas from the public and stakeholders on ecological,
recreational and infrastructure enhancements through extensive consultation process
with City of Pickering staff, community associations, school boards, Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority, Rouge Park Alliance, and individual citizens. City staff also
prepared and submitted a preliminary list of potential enhancements to the co-
proponents in February, 2008. The list was submitted with the understanding that it
could be altered or added to by Pickering Council.

Enhancement Projects in the City of Pickering Page 2
On November 20, 2008, York Region Council adopted a report outlining recommended .
enhancement projects for the SEC with an approximate expenditure of $15 Million ($8
Million in Pickering). Of the 39 recommended ecological, recreational and infrastructure
enhancements, 24 enhancements are to be located in Pickering, however, several key
enhancements provided by City staff to the co-proponents were not included. The
report also recommended a separate commitment to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution
Control Plant Stage 3 Expansion Greening/Biodiversity Plan at an estimated cost of
$350,000. That commitment is not discussed further in this report and will be reported
on at a later date.
Subsequently, City staff met with the co-proponents to review, discuss and revise the
recommended enhancement projects for Pickering. The ecological enhancements
recommended within the Seaton Natural Heritage System were requested to be deleted
as they are more appropriate for consideration in the context of the Natural Heritage
System Management Plan process.
The removal of the ecological enhancements provided staff with the opportunity to add
several key infrastructure projects including the reconstruction of the Palmer Bridge on
Valley Farm Road, improvements to the Beverley Morgan and Maple Ridge Parks and
to shift the proposed pedestrian bridge over Duffins Creek to a location in Brockridge
Park. In staff's opinion, these infrastructure projects are in closer proximity to the SEC
route, promote community connectivity and do not exceed the $8 Million program
initially allocated for Pickering in York's report.
It is recommended that Council endorse the revised enhancement projects
recommended by staff and authorize staff to work with York Region to refine the
enhancement projects in the City of Pickering, and have them incorporated into an
agreement between York Region and the City of Pickering.
Financial Implications: None to adopt the recommendations of this Report to
Council. If approved, the Enhancement Plan would result in a value of approximately
$8 million of enhancement projects being undertaken in the City of Pickering.
Sustainability Implications: The Enhancement Plan is consistent with the City's five
sustainable objectives of a healthy environment, society, economy, responsible
development and responsible consumption.

BACKGROUND:
1.1 The Region of York was required to carry out an IEA for the Southeast
Collector Trunk Sewer from 9th Line in Markham to Valley Farm Road in
Pickering
In October, 2004, the Minister of Environment informed York Region that an
Individual Environmental Assessment was required for the remaining unfinished
sections of the York-Durham Sewage System (YDSS) including the Southeast
Collector Trunk Sewer project from 9th Line in Markham to Valley Farm Road in
Pickering. As the Regions jointly own and operate the existing SEC Trunk
Sewer, York and Durham Regions agreed to be co-proponents for the SEC
Trunk Sewer IEA.
1.2 A commitment was made to the Province to develop an enhancement plan as
part of the SEC Individual Environmental Assessment process
In February, 2006, the 'Minister of Environment approved the Terms of
Reference including not only the requirement for a mitigation plan but also
stipulating development of an enhancement plan as part of the Individual
Environmental Assessment process. Infrastructure projects such as the SEC are
required to mitigate adverse effects on the environment or compensate for the
adverse effects. Mitigation measures are used to avoid the adverse impact
where possible, minimize the adverse impact if it cannot be avoided, or
rehabilitate/restore the environment after construction.
Enhancements are initiatives that go beyond mitigation and compensation
measures to create improvements to the environment and/or human
communities that would not otherwise be provided through the EA process.. The
co-proponents have committed to providing a positive legacy to the local
community affected by the SEC project through the formulation of an
Enhancement Plan.
1.3 The SEC project included an. extensive public consultation process to
solicit input on enhancements
To develop the enhancements, the SEC process included extensive consultation
with local community groups, stakeholders and agencies on Ecological,
Recreational and Infrastructure Enhancements (ERIE). Consultation in Pickering
included the following:
• Project website
• Project phone hot-line
• Resident outreach held in late August/early September 2007

• A series of Neighborhood Sessions held in late November/early
December 2007
• Newsletter
• Two Public Information Sessions held on April 15 and 17, 2008
This process also included several meetings with community associations,
school boards, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, individual citizens,
stakeholders-, Pickering staff and agencies. Public consultation was focused
along the recommended preferred route which would be most impacted by
project construction.
1.4 A preliminary list of twenty potential enhancements was submitted to the
co-proponents for consideration
At a meeting held on January 25, 2008, the co-proponents informed City staff of
the selection approach to be used for the enhancement plan and requested a
preliminary list of enhancements. City staff submitted a preliminary list of twenty
potential enhancements for consideration. This list was also distributed to Mayor
and Council as CAO Correspondence (CAO-07-08) dated March 14, 2008.
Further CAO Correspondence (CAO-54-08) dated November 25, 2008 advised of _
the near completion of the SEC project and provided additional information on
the enhancements.
1.5 York Regional Council adopted Report No. 9 of its Transportation and
Works Committee regarding enhancements projects for the Southeast
Collector Trunk Sewer
On November 20, 2008, York Regional Council adopted Report No. 9 of its
Transportation and Works Committee regarding enhancements for the SEC.
Many of the enhancements were not detailed in the report; however, an
approximate expenditure of $15 Million ($8 Million in Pickering) was identified
and recommended (see Attachment #1 - Recommended Enhancements).
The report also recommended a commitment to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution
Control Plant Stage 3 Expansion Green ing/Biodiversity Plan at an estimated cost .
of $350,000. That commitment is not discussed further in this report but will be
reported on at a later date.
A copy of Report No. 9 (CORR. 113-08) was provided to Council on December

DISCUSSION
2.1 The development and implementation of an enhancement plan provides a
positive legacy for Pickering
The enhancements planned under the SEC project will leave a positive legacy
for areas of Pickering impacted by construction of the trunk- sewer. The
magnitude of the enhancements proposed by York Region are considered
reasonable in light of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the
City and York Region regarding the expansion of the Southeast Collector and
Duffin Creek WCP.
2.2 The replacement of the Seaton _ ecological enhancements with key
infrastructure enhancements provides greater. positive improvements to
the environment and community
A number of ecological enhancements such as creating snake habitats and
enhancing swamp habitats were identified on Provincially owned lands in the
Seaton Community. Subsequently, a meeting was held with the co-proponents
and their consultants to review and discuss the SEC project list of enhancements
for Pickering. Staff advised the co-proponents that the ecological enhancements
in Seaton should be not be provided through the SEC p roject as they are
considered as elements of the Province's Natural Heritage System Management
Plan. Staff's comments on York Region's enhancement list are provided in
Attachment #1.
2.3 A revised list of enhancements are recommended by staff for consideration
under the SEC project
Removal of the ecological enhancements in Seaton provided staff with the
opportunity to add several key enhancements projects that provide greater
positive improvements to the environment and community. These additional
enhancements are within the $8 million program initially allocated for Pickering
(see Attachment #2 - Recommended Enhancements). Attachment 93 shows
the location of the recommended ecological, recreational and infrastructure
enhancements. A summary of the enhancements are outlined below:
Ecological enhancements include restoration of the Rouge-Duffins wildlife
corridor, restoration of streams in Petticoat Creek, reforestation of the Nu West
ravine, and assistance with funding of the Petticoat Creek Watershed Study. A
Whitevale Drainage Study to address local flooding and stormwater conveyance
problems is added to the list.

Recreational enhancements include existing trail system extension for the
Seaton Trail, new multi use trail systems in the hydro corridor, and consideration
of "buy locally" tendering clause for the SEC project. An enhancement for
artificial turf to accommodate soccer and football at Beverley Morgan Park in lieu
of soccer fields on Provincially owned lands located south of the Third
Concession Road, west of Valley Farm Road is recommended.
Infrastructure enhancements are primarily located in close proximity to the
planned SEC project and include traffic flow, pedestrian and streetscaping
improvements on Finch Avenue, and full traffic control signals at the Finch
Avenue and Maple Ridge Road/Bowler Drive intersection. A strategic
enhancement being recommended is the reconstruction of Palmer Bridge on
Valley Farm Road north of Finch Avenue (crossing West Duffins Creek) including
sidewalks on both sides to increase pedestrian safety and convenience.
2.4 A portion of the funds allocated to the Durham District School Board
should also be used to assist the City in upgrading facilities within two
parks (Maple Ridge Park and Beverley Morgan Park) adjacent to schools
On York Region's recommended enhancement list, approx $130,000 has been
allocated for Durham District.School Board enhancements such as landscape
improvements to school properties. Adjacent to the Maple Ridge Public School
and Pine Ridge Secondary School are two City parks that are currently used by
students and other community residents. Maple Ridge Park has a soccer field,
baseball diamond and tennis courts in need of repair and. upgrade. Beverley
Morgan Park has similar deficiencies and also requires bleachers to be replaced.
Staff is recommending that the co-proponents allocate a portion of the School
Board's funds to assist in the upgrading of these facilities within the two parks.
2.4 Funding for the Petticoat Creek Watershed Strategy has been received
from York Region
The City of Pickering requested consideration of a funding contribution of
$20,000 from the SEC Project for a strategy for the Petticoat Creek Watershed
being undertaken by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
The City also contributed $10,000 toward this Strategy earlier in 2008. The co-
proponents have accepted the City's request for a contribution toward the
Petticoat Creek Watershed Strategy and subsequently, forwarded the funds to
the City for this project. These funds have been forwarded to the TRCA.

2.5 The revised list of enhancements is consistent with the commitment made
by the co-proponents to the Minister of Environment to leave a positive
legacy for Pickering
Formal EA approval of the enhancement plan is not required as the co-
proponents have satisfied the commitment made to the Minster of Environment
to develop an enhancement plan. Pickering's list of enhancement changes
remains consistent with the principle of leaving a positive legacy for the
community. It is also the co-proponents' intention to continue to refine the
enhancement plan in consultation with the City and other stakeholders following
EA approval of the SEC project.
3.0 Next Steps
Council's endorsement of the revised list of enhancements will enable staff to
collaborate with York Region on refining and implementing the projects planned
for the 2010-2012 time period. In the future, a formal agreement with the
Regional Municipality of York respecting the final enhancement projects will be
required.

Recommendation:

Report CAO 13-11 September 12, 2011

5. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be given the authority to
give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: Since 2007, the animal shelter has been based at a boarding
kennel located at 15 Reesor Road in Toronto. Contract negotiations began earlier this
year with the Dog Pad Inc., as the current contract is set to expire on December 31,
2011. On July 1, 2011, the City was advised that the Dog Pad Inc. was requesting a
50% increase in lease and service payments to extend the lease. Under the provisions
of the current agreement, should the City not agree to the 50% increase, the Dog Pad
Inc. has given the City notice to vacate the premises on or before December 31, 2011.
A 50% increase would mean the annual lease and service cost of $54,000 would
increase to $81,000 yearly for the use of their facility.
The City recently became aware of the potential to lease property located at 1688
Highway No. 7 in Brougham, formerly known as Nonna's Cafe. Upon further
investigation, it has been determined that this site would be an excellent opportunity for
the City to run and operate its own animal shelter in Pickering. This site would suffice
for the next five years however; the long term plan is to have a permanent animal
shelter built in conjunction with a new Operations Centre.
The market rate for the above property was listed at $1500 monthly (net), however
Transport Canada have agreed to lower this to $1000 monthly (net) subsequent to
discussions with senior staff.
The operating costs for the City to run its own animal shelter will be covered under
Animal Services current operating budget (account 2399) and are estimated to have a
net savings of $30,000 yearly.
Council approval is required to enter into the lease and fund leasehold improvements,
furniture, and fixtures. All funds will be repaid out of the current budgeted expenditure
account for animal services.
Financial Implications: As the current arrangement with The Dog Pad Inc. ends on
December 31, 2011, the recommendations require approval prior to Council considering
the 2012 Budgets. The property at 1688 Highway No. 7 will require work to retrofit the
facility to meet our animal sheltering needs. In order to ensure the new facility is ready
to shelter animals by January 1, 2012, the necessary work must begin immediately.
The chart below compares yearly operating costs based on our current contract,
proposed contract and to operate a city run facility.

Total Yearly Costs $54,000 $81,000 $24,000
While the exact nature and cost of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and
equipment is to be determined, it is felt that a provision of $100,000 should be sufficient.
This expenditure will be financed by an internal loan to be repaid with the annual
savings in lease costs over the next five years.
Staff's best estimates do not indicate an increase in budget for this facility and
operation.
As previously indicated, by operating our own animal shelter the City will be saving
$30,000 annually over the current cost. Based on the proposed contract put forward by
The Dog Pad Inc., the City would have a cost saving of $57,000 over the renewal lease
cost.
Sustainability Implications: We are committed to financial integrity, accountability
and fiscal sustainability. This new lease arrangement will bring all shelter management
directly under the city's control as well as being more cost efficient and saving money.
The hamlet of Brougham is only 10km away from the core of the City and is more
accessible than our current facility, located in Scarborough.
Having a facility located in Pickering will ultimately reduce the distance of travel that
staff are required to drive, therefore, reducing the amount of gas emissions entering into
the environment.
Operating our own facility will allow us to expand our community engagement initiatives,
and further develop education and volunteer opportunities.

Report CAO 13-11 September 12, 2011
Subject: Animal Sheltering Services Page 4
Background: The City assumed the responsibility of Animal Services on
January 1, 2006 upon termination of a long term agreement with the Town of Whitby.
Since that time, all functions of Animal Services are handled in-house with the exception
of shelter services.
On May 14, 2007, Resolution 100/07 for Report CS 19-07 was passed by Council
recommending that the City enter into a public-private agreement with Country Boarding
and Training Kennels located in Toronto for a five year term. The agreement stated that
Country Kennels would provide the feed, care and housing for all Pickering Animals,
while City staff would be responsible to staff the facility each evening, for residents to
reclaim or adopt animals. This agreement started in July of 2007.
In October of 2009, Country Kennels was sold and purchased by a new owner called
The Dog Pad Inc. The current agreement states that the Dog Pad Inc. will provide care
and housing for all Pickering Animals, while City staff are still responsible to staff the .
facility each evening for residents to reclaim or adopt animals. In addition, the City is
now responsible for providing all food and litter required for our animals.
This public-private agreement was put into place while the City reviewed a long term
plan to build an animal shelter in conjunction with a new Operations Centre.
The current agreement has allowed staff to better understand the day to day operations of an animal shelter. Although this agreement has worked for the past 5 years, staff feel
that at this time in order to provide the most cost efficient and the highest quality of
service to our residents, we must have direct control of all aspects of our animal shelter
service.
Short Term Sheltering Plan
Staff are recommending that the City enter into a 5 year lease with Transport Canada to
lease the property located at 1688 Highway No. 7 in Brougham, formerly known as
Nonna's Cafe. Further to the financial cost savings, staff have identified many other
advantages associated with the City operating its own animal shelter.
Advantages of taking full ownership of animal sheltering include the following;
• shelter is in Pickering
• immediate accountability as the service provider, and the ability to address
problems immediately
• increase consistency with standards of Animal Care
• increase consistency with cleaning practices and care given to animals
• potential to increase sense of pride by City Staff and residents
• potential to increase community engagement
• free up office space at City Hall

In order to fulfill legislative requirements, certain leasehold improvements will have to be
undertaken. Jurecka & Associates has been hired to conduct a preliminary assessment
of the property and to determine what leasehold improvements are necessary.
The chart below identifies the one-time leasehold improvements that will be required in
order to retrofit the building to meet legislative requirements to operate an animal
shelter.
Infrastructure upgrades • insulating and treating the exterior
walls and ceilings (including air &
vapour barrier and interior finish)
• extension of HVAC conduits and
venting throughout facility
• additional lighting where existing
is insufficient
• additional electrical distribution
where insufficient
• water supply with floor drains to
rear east room
• paint throughout
Site modifications to meet accessibility • install concrete ramp, handrails,
requirements landing & steps to front entrance of
(longer-term) building
• retrofit washroom to meet legislative
requirements
Other Site modifications . fence surrounding perimeter of
property

Animal Housing Requirements
Housing is being recommended for approximately 35 cats, and an additional capacity
for 4 cats in quarantine and 4 cats in isolation facilities
Housing for 10 dogs is being recommended including an.area to quarantine for rabies
observation and/or isolation due to disease.
Sheltering and Administrative Staff Requirements
The Supervisor of Animal Services will oversee the day to day operation of the shelter
and field staff and assist Officers in all areas when needed. All animal services staff
would work out of the facility and would assist in the day to day sheltering activities.
The current 2012 staffing complement for Animal Services will be able to successfully
run the animal shelter. Staffing requirements will be reviewed on an annual basis and
depending on service needs; future staffing will be budgeted accordingly.
Operating our own animal shelter will give us the opportunity to further develop our
volunteer program and have an opportunity to further engage with our community.
Currently, our volunteer program consists of 35 registered volunteers. Unfortunately,
without our own facility our volunteers are only able to assist us at our satellite adoption
facility at PetSmart, limiting the numbers of volunteers required. Operating our own
animal shelter will allow us to expand our volunteer program into the shelter.
.Long Term Sheltering Plan
The City of Pickering is currently undertaking an Environmental Assessment to
determine an appropriate location to build a new Operations Centre. As part of that
assessment, the consultants have been asked to evaluate the potential to have an
Animal Shelter located on the same site.
The long term plan of Animal Services is to have an animal shelter built on the same
site as the Operations Centre. Depending on the location and size of land allocated for
the animal shelter, we will investigate the potential to partner with another municipality
or a local veterinarian.
Summary
Based on the information provided in this report, it is recommended that the City
proceed to enter into a 5-year lease with Transport Canada to operate our own animal
sheltering facility.
