Growth Plan, as the forecasts:
a) do not reflect the recent historical rate of job growth that Durham Region
has experienced over the last 10 years (33.4%);
b) do not adequately recognize planned infrastructure in Durham Region
' such as the Highway 407 East extension, and other economic drivers
such as Seaton and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology;
c) do not address the observations of the technical report on growth
forecasts prepared for the Province, noting that existing Growth Plan
policy increases the current very low shares of employment allocated to
Durham Region; and
d) do not improve the low employment to population ratio of 1 job to 2.7
persons of the Growth Plan, 2006, to a higher ratio, whereas the Region of
Durham and the City of Pickering support a ratio of 1 job to 2 persons;

Jim Dike, Chair, Frenchman's Bay Milfoil Steering Committee appeared before Council to
provide an overview with respect to the Eurasian watermilfoil weed. Through the aid of a
power point presentation he outlined the current problems with the milfoil weed which is
currently invading the waters of Frenchman's Bay. He noted that once established, this
species is very difficult to control and impossible to eradicate. He explained that this weed
grows very quickly, having a negative impact on fish and wildlife habitat as well as water
quality. He also noted the health and safety concerns to boaters and swimmers. He also
described the economic impact whereby marinas could experience a loss in membership

and residents in the area could see a decline in property values as well as a reduction in
local employment. He provided an overview of a proposed management strategy involving
the use of weevils as a means of controlling the milfoil weed.
He stated that funding would be comprised of $53,000.00 from community organizations
as well as private homeowners and he requested a$30,000 contribution from the City of
Pickering. He noted that the Steering Committee was also investigating alternative
fundraising initiatives and grants.
A question and answer period ensued. Questions were posed, with clarification being
provided regarding the breakdown of costs, as well as the future costs and maintenance.
Fundraising initiatives were also questioned. I
(III) Presentations
T. Prevedel, Chief Administrative Officer noted that this year's budget represents a 3.75%
increase for 2013. He noted that staff had initiated a plan in 2010 to gradually reduce
reliance on the Rate Stabilization Reserve. He indicated that, with inflationary pressures
as well as increased utility rates and the introduction of the Emerald Ash Borer Program, '
the budget increase was originally proposed to be 4.9%, but was brought down to 3.75%
as a result of cost savings seen through reorganization and deferral of capital projects. He
stated that construction of the Operations Centre was strategically deferred until 2014, but
noted that the design would be completed this year. He further stated that alternate
funding sources will be reviewed, including development charges and land sale proceeds,
and a report will be coming to Council at a later date.
Mr. Prevedel also referred to the five year Draft Capital Forecast. He stated that it
included Council's visions and ideas for large capital projects. He also noted a number of
. uncompleted carryover projects from prior years, stating that staff are proposing a
moratorium on new capital projects to allow them to complete old ones.
A question and answer period ensued. Discussion took place with respect to inflation il
rates, and the purchase of land in Duffin Heights. ~
S. Karwowski, (Acting) Division Head, Finance & Treasurer, outlined a summary of the I
2013 Current and Capital Budgets through the aid of a power point presentation.
He noted that this year has seen the highest assessment growth since 1998, being 1.6%,
and that this had helped staff reach a 3.75% target. He noted that this budget levy
increase equates to approximately $58.21 per year based on an assessed value of
$345,000.00 He explained the importance of reserve funds and the nature of internal
loans, noting that it is a proven financial strategy to borrow from oneself. He also noted
that there could be funding available from the Federal government for the future Operation

Centre. He explained the City-recommended debt strategy, noting that Council can
control the timing of capital projects, thereby controlling the level of debt charges. He
stated that the projected debt charges are below the 15% cap limit of total taxation
revenues as recommended by staff. He also stated that staff will maximize alternate
financing sources such as grants and development charges in order to use debt financing
as a last resort, in order to build up reserves and reduce the reliance on short term debt.
Discussion ensued with questions raised regarding the value of setting targets. It was
noted that there is merit in doing so in order to clearly recognize cost pressures, and then
to consider modifying recommendations and investigating alternatives. Council requested
clarification on the fiscal impact study for Seaton, asking how complete the study would be,
when it would be finalized, and how Seaton will affect assessment growth. Committee took a 10 minute recess and reconvened at 11:10 am.

To the Governing Municipal Body:
RE: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNITY NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
"Tall Trees Neighbourhood Watch Pickerin"
Through the implementation of Crime. Prevention Programs, dedicated community volunteers work with police to
help reduce crime in their communities. One such "Citizen Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood
Watch. It is a program which employs an elegantly simple technique of "neighbours looking out for neighbours" to
reduce threats of crime against potential victims.
This letter is notify you that an existing Neighbourhood Watch in Pickering, which was endorsed in 2005, has now
expanded their area of responsibility, by inviting their neighbours on the adjoining street to join the program. They
have obtained the requisite signatures and contact information from these follcs, as well as found a person to take on
the role of Block Captain (liaison) for the additiona121 homes. The Block Captain hosted her neighbours in her
home so they could receive the necessary crime prevention training. In so doing, they have demonstrated their
understanding that Crime Prevention is not just.a job for a few professionals. Rather, the attitude and involvement of
these citizens proves their genuine concern to work together to make our community a better place to live.
The homes in question consist of the lower part of Woodview Drive, including both cul-de-sacs (house numbers 80-
112). It is recommended that they be granted permission to erect approved Neighbourhood Watch signs in this new
area as a crime deterrent. A map with proposed sign locatioris will be forwarded to the City's Operations Supervisor
forthwith, and the signs will be purchased by the Watch and delivered to the Operations Centre as per the usual
procedure.
Sincerely,
~

All Pain No Gain! -
To the Mayor and all members of council,. We are writing about the increased risks that will soon be affecting your municipality and its residents
without compensation or consideration for the environment, water quality, and prosperity of your
municipality. It is an issue that is akeady being addressed by many Southern Ontario municipalities
including Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga and Burlington:
In early December Enbridge Inc placed a formal.application with the National Energy Board (NEB) to
reverse the flow of their pipeline from Sarnia to Montreal (Line 9) to allow the pumping of Tar Sands
bitumen to the United States and other foreign markets.
As a group, 350 Hamilton, our main concem is climate change and that the rapid, unchecked expansion
and exploitation of the Tar Sands will significantly increase carbon dioxide in our atmosphere leading
to accelerated climate change. Enbridge's application to reverse the flow and pump diluted bitumen
(dilbit) also has many other unplications to all affected municipalities and residents.
Toxic dilbit from the Tar Sands will be pumped across all major watersheds feeding Lake Ontario,
including those located in your municipality. Your Municipality will assume all of the environmental
risks and receive no economic gain. Please consider this:
TAR SANDS
~ Tar Sands are the world's dirtiest energy project
~ Tar Sands oil extraction emits 3 times as much Greenhouse Gases as conventional oil .
LINE 9 PIPELINE -
~ Line 9 is 38 years old, built in 1976; the same age as the pipeline that caused the spill in
Kalamazoo, Michigan
~ No independent integrity analysis of the state of the pipeline has taken place
~ The application would see the flow of the pipeline reversed; increased pipeline pressure and
increased volume flowing through the pipeline (300,000 barrels per day, up from 240,000)
~ Dilutants contain serious toxins including benzene, n-hexane, and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons; Are your Emergency Responders properly equipped and trained to deal with a
spill of this nature?
ENBRIDGE
,k Enbridge lists 610 spills from 1999 to 2006, spilling 132,000 barrels of hydrocarbons
~ Enbridge holds the record for the largest and costliest pipeline spill in the history of the United
States: Kalamazoo MI, July 2010 where more than 800,000 gallons were spilled, forcing the
permanent relocation of 150 families, and polluting 60 km of the Kalamazoo River
~ It took Enbridge over 17 hours to turn off the leaking pipeline in Kalamazoo, MI
ECONOMY ^
~ Continued erosion of manufacturing jobs in Ontario and Quebec is strongly related to a higher
Canadian dollar, which is bolstered in part by oil exports
• ~ The Line 9 reversal project will not bring new jobs; instead most upgrading and refining jobs
will be exported along with the dilbit as Canada has severely limited capacity to process dilbit
east of Sarnia Ontario
For the reasons above we encourage you to follow the example of other municipalities by doing the
following:
1. Request a full Environmental Assessment from both the Federal and Provincial Governments;
2. Seek intervener status in the NEB hearings on the Line 9 reversal project;
3. Seek increased taxation measures on pipeline properties and right of ways in your
municipalities to create a fund for emergency response equipment and training in the event of a
spill; and
4. Demand independent integrity testing and the public release of the results.
Should we sacrifice our fresli water, our farm land, our climate, our future, to transport bitumen to the
United States and abroad? Are these risks ones your municipality are willing to take?
We urge your municipality to take action on this issue, do the actions listed above to protect our
watersheds, our climate and mitigate the risk of a bitumen spill.
Sincerest regards,
Elysia Petrone, on behalf of the Hamilton 350 Committee

Date: February 25, 2013
From: Tony Prevedel
Chief Administrative Officer
Subject: Pickering East Shore Community Association
- Revenue Sharing Agreement
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report CAO 02-13 regarding the Pickering East Shore Community
Association revenue sharing agreement be received;
2. That CounCil authorize staff to cancel the revenue sharing agreement with
Pickering East Shore Community Association by giving 12 months written notice;
3. That Council authorize staff to review all existing agreements and/or informal

4. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the. necessary
action to give effect thereto. '
Executive Summary: For approximately 30 years, the East Shore Community
Centre was jointly managed by the Pickering East Shore Community Association
(PESCA) and the City of Pickering. PESCA administered and managed the rental of
the Gymnasium, Room 2 and Room 4 on behalf of the City to third parties. Rental
revenue of the Gymnasium for social functions on Saturdays has been split equally
between PESCA and the City. All other rental revenue for the Gymnasium, Room 2 and
Room 4 had been collected and retained by PESCA.
In 2006, in order to streamline facility bookings at East Shore Community Centre, the '
City took over administering and managing the rental of the Gymnasium, Room 2 and
Room 4(as well as all other spaces in the Centre).
Report CAO 02-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: Pickering East Shore Community Association Page 2
Further to proceedings at the Executive (Budget) Committee Meeting held on Thursday,
February 14, 2013, staff are recommending the cancellation of the revenue sharing
agreement between PESCA and the City for rent collected for the Gymnasium, Room 2
and Room 4.
Financial Implications: 12 months written notice to cancel the Pickering East Shore
Community Association revenue sharing agreement will not directly impact the City of
Pickering's 2013 Current Budget.
Discussion: For over 40 years, a number of City owned facilities have been
jointly managed by various community/neighbourhood associations and the City of
Pickering. In the early 1970s, the Town of Pickering neighbourhood recreation
.resources were turned over to Neighbourhood Associations. This allowed the
Associations a means of securing financial resources through the rental of their facilities
and developing worthwhile programs that met the unique needs of those living within
the neighbourhood. This provided the means through which residents could be involved '
in decisions affecting recreation in their neighbourhood.
For approximately 30 years, the East Shore Community Centre was jointly managed by
the Pickering East Shore Community Association (PESCA) and the City of Pickering.
PESCA administered and managed the rental of the Gymnasium, Room 2 and Room 4 ,
on behalf of the City to third parties. Rental revenue of the Gymnasium for social !
functions on Saturdays has been split equally between PES"CA and the City. All other
rental revenue for the Gymnasium, Room 2 and Room 4 had been collected and
retained by PESCA. PESCA had used this revenue to contribute to capital
improvements for the Community Centre, program development and to contribute to the
well-being of the East Shore Community.
In 2006, in order to streamline facility bookings at East Shore Community Centre, the
City took over administering and managing the rental of the Gymnasium, Room 2 and I
Room 4(as well as all other spaces in the Centre). The existing revenue sharing ~
agreement between PESCA and the City for rent collected for the Gymnasium, Room 2
and Room 4 continued.
Recently, residents and other community associations have communicated that it is
time to revisit the existing revenue sharing between th"e Pickering East Shore
Community Association and the City of Pickering. There needs to be a fair funding
model for all community associations seeking support from the City of Pickering.
Further to proceedings at the City's Executive (Budget) Committee Meeting held on
Thursday, February 14, 2013, staff. recommend that the Pickering East Shore Community Association be given 12 months written notice for the cancellation of their
revenue sharing agreement with the City of Pickering.

There is a need for staff to review all other facility agreements with community
associations. These agreements include Brougham Recreation Association (Brougham
Hall), Canadian Progress Club - Durham South (Front Street Centre), Claremont Lions
Club (Claremont Community Centre), Greenwood Residents Association (Greenwood
Community Centre), Mt. Zion Community Association (Mt. Zion Community Centre), and
Whitevale Residents Association (Whitevale Community Centre). These facility
agreements require community associations to conduct the general maintenance and
cleaning of the facility at their expense. The Director, Corporate Services & City
Solicitor does not recommend any immediate changes to these agreements. Staff will
report back to Council with recommendations in September 2013.

PI KERING Report Number: CR 02-13
Date: February 25, 2013
From: Stephen Reynolds
Director, Culture & Recreation
Subject: Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper, Accessible Built Environment
(December 2012 - March 2013)
- Gity of Pickering Response
- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report CR 02-13 regarding the Ontario $uilding Code Consultation Paper,
Accessible Built Environment (December 2012 - March 2013) - City of Pickering
Response be received;
2. That the City of Pickering be authorized to forward Report CR 02-13 to the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing as a response from both City of Pickering staff
and the Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee; and
3. That the Province of Ontario be urged to provide funding to assist municipalities
with the implementation of the proposed accessibility enhancements to the Ontario
Building Code.
Executive Summary: Changes to the Ontario Building Code (OBC), as contained
in the Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper, Accessible Built Environment, are the
latest standards provided as a result of the Accessibilities for Ontarians Act, 2005.
Previous standards include:
• Customer Service
• Information and Communication
• Employment
• Transportation
• Design of Public Spaces Standards (Accessibility Standards for the Built
Environment)
These changes will take effect as of January 1, 2014 and will affect new construction,
. as well as substantial renovations.
Report CR 02-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper,
Accessible Built Environment (December 2012 - March 2013) Page 2
Implementation of the OBC and the proposed changes generally fall under the
responsibilities of the Chief Building Officer and Building Services, but will have
. implications in other areas of the City of Pickering operations.
Financial Implications: Within the Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper,
Accessible Built Environment (December 2012 - March 2013), estimated cost increases
have been provided based on costing analysis prepared for the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing.
The overall construction cost increases resulting from the recommended enhancements
to the OBC are projected to be as follows:
• Office Building 0.59%
• Apartment Building 0.88%
• College Residence 1.99%
• Community School/Recreation Centre 1.05%
No provision has been made in the document for financial assistance for
implementation of requirements for new construction or substantial renovation. Rather,
the Ministry suggests that the transition period before Code changes come into effect
will help industry to anticipate and budget for any additional costs.
Discussion: In 2001, the Province of Ontario enacted legislation called the
Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA). Subsequent to that legislation, the
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) was proclaimed. The
AODA outlined specific accessibility standards to ensure full participation for persons
with disabilities:
• Customer Service
• Information and Communication
• Employment
• Transportation '
• Built Environment
Implementation of these accessibility standards aims to provide full accessibility in daily
living for persons with disabilities by the year 2025.
The first standard to become law was the Customer Service Standard. The City of
Pickering met full compliance with its requirements by January 1, 2010. This included
adopting a policy for Accessibility Standards for Customer Service in December 2008
and subsequent training of all City employees and volunteers, as well as
CORP0227-07/01 revised
Report CR 02-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper,
Accessible Built Environment (December 2012 - March 2013) Page 3
implementation of procedures to ensure accessible customer service throughout City
departments, services and programs.
The Standards for information and communications, employment, and transportation
were legislated in 2011 as the Integrated Accessibility Standards, Ontario Regulation
191/11 and are addressed in the City of Pickering's 2012-2016 Accessibility Plan.
On August 15, 2012, the Ministry of Community and Social Services released a draft of I
the design of public spaces for the Built Environment Standards which is the final I
accessibility standard under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. ,
The legislation applied to future design of new or redeveloped spaces beginning in
2015.
The City of Pickering provided a response to those amendments in Report CS 51-12
indicating, in part, that Province of Ontario be urged to provide funding to assist
municipalities with the Implementation Standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians
with Disabilities Act, 2005. On January 1, 2013, the Integrated Accessibility Standards
Regulation (Ontario Regulation 191/11) was amended to include accessibility
requirements for the Design of Public Spaces (Accessibility Standards for the Built
Environment).
Currently, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is developing potential
enhancements to current accessibility requirements in buildings. Major portions of the
recommendations made by the Standards Development Committee relate directly to
provisions of the Ontario Building Code and have been included in the updated version
of the code scheduled to come into force on January 1, 2014.
The Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper, Accessible Built Environment
(December 2012 - March 2013) was released in December 2012 to seek input from
stakeholders on proposed changes to the Ontario Building Code which relate directly to
accessibility standards. The deadline to submit comments to the Ministry of Municipal
Affairs and Housing is March 1, 2013.
The Chief Building Official for the City of Pickering will be working with the other
respective Chief Building Officials within Durham to assemble comments specific to the
technical aspects of the Building Code. An integrated Building Official response will be
provided directly to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
That said, the Chief Building Official did prepare an Overview of Potential Changes in
2012 Ontario Building Code (OBC) as a resource for staff and the Advisory Committee
to reference for their review. The Accessibility Advisory Committee and the
Accessibility Plan Core Staff Team reviewed the consultation paper and the overview
prepared by the Chief Building Official and responses from both City of Pickering staff
and the Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee are summarized below.

Report CR 02-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: Ontario Building Code Consultation Paper,
Accessible Built Environment (December 2012 - March 2013) Page 4
Comments of City of Pickering Staff
Staff acknowledge that there will be a financial impact to meet the proposed
enhancements of the OBC and wouldlike the Ministry to include provisions for financial
assistance to municipalities.
Comments of the Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee (PAAC)
The Committee members recognize that the current ratio for persons with a disability is ~
1 to 7 and likely to.increase to 1 to 5 within a few years, as the Province's population I
ages. With this information in mind, combined with the requirements of the AODA
(2005), the committee suggests that the OBC require all new construction, inclusive of
commercial, single and multi-unit residential and office, be subject to barrier-free
requirements, such as door widths, adequate turning radii for wheelchairs and scooters,
etc.
Related to this suggestion, PAAC have identified the need for increased single storey
(bungalow) accommodation in single family dwellings. As such, they recommend that
the Planning Act require builders/developers to provide a minimum number of single
storey, barrier-free units within single family developments (i.e., 10%).
Lastly, it is suggested that a glossary of terms and definitions be included in the Building
Code Consultation Paper to provide clarity to terms such as: accessible, barrier-free,
universal washrooms, T-shaped turning spaces, etc. Documents such as these are
meant to be distributed to members of the public and to municipal staff who may not be
familiar with some of the language used. As such, the glossary of terms would assist
readers understand the language and context of the consultation document.

Introduction
Ontario's Building Code establishes the minimum standards for the construction of
the buildings in which we all live, work and play every day. By providing clear and
consistent standards, Ontario's Building Code facilitates the work of builders and
developers and helps keep Ontarians safe while allowing for the advancement of
the government's key priorities. One of those key priorities is an accessible
Ontario.
Barrier-free design requirements have been part of Ontario's Building Code since
1975. As part of achieving Ontario's goal of an accessible Ontario by 2025, Ontario
is working to create a Building Code that demonstrates leadership in barrier-free
design and is responsive to the needs and concerns of all its stakeholders.
Ensuring the Building Code works for all Ontarians requires the close collaboration
of many stakeholders. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is responsible
for administering the Building Code. Municipalities, health units and conservation
authorities are responsible for enforcement of the provisions of the Code in their
communities. Meanwhile, builders, designers and manufacturers all have a role in
assuring that buildings are constructed in compliance with the Code's requirements.
That is why Ontario is looking for your views on potential changes to the barrier-
free design requirements in the Building Code. Your participation in this public
consultation is important. .
About the consultation
A new edition of the Building Code is generally made every five years following the
publication of the model National Building Code. The Ontario government has
recently released the new 2012 edition of the Building Code, which will begin to
come into force on January 1, 2014. It is expected that any potential changes to
barrier-free requirements will be made through an interim amendment to the 2012
Building Code. .
This consultation is designed to generate input from a broad range of stakeholders
and the public, including the building and design sectors, community organizations
and people with disabilities, municipalities, and the broader public sector. Your
feedback on these potential changes will help shape new requirements for barrier-
free design in the Building Code.
The consultation focuses on potential updates and changes to current Code
requirements in a number of key areas, including:
• Renovations
• Barrier-free path of travel (common access and circulation)
• Vertical access (elevators)
• Visitable suites in multi-unit residential buildings

About the Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) became law on '
June 13, 2005. The purpose of the AODA is to benefit all Ontarians by developing,
implementing and enforcing accessibility standards. The goal is to achieve
accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities,
accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises by January 1,
2025.
The legislation prescribes mechanisms for the development of accessibility
standards. Upon introducing the legislation, the government committed to
establishing accessibility standards in five key areas of daily living. Regulated
standards for accessible customer service, information and communication,
employment and transportation are now in place. The built environment, including
buildings and public spaces, is the fifth standard remaining to fulfil the
government's 2005 commitment.
The Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) is responsible for
. development and enforcement of accessibility standards under the AODA through
the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (ADO). The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing (MMAH), through the Building and Development Branch (BDB) is the
primary partner ministry for the built environment.
The Accessible Built Environment Final Proposed Standard
The Minister of Community and Social Services appointed an Accessible Built
Environment Standards Development Committee in 2007 to develop a final
proposed standard. The committee was made up of individuals with disabilities or
representatives of organizations for persons with disabilities (50 per cent) and
representatives of obligated organizations (such as architects, designers, builders,
municipalities, and public sector organizations). The committee's task was to:
• Develop an initial proposed standard for public review and comment;
• Consider comments received during a public review and make any changes the
committee considered advisable; and,
• Submit a final proposed standard to the Minister of Community and Social
Services for consideration.
The committee submitted its Final Proposed Accessible Built Environment Standard
to the Minister of Community and Social Services in July 2010. The Government
may accept in full, in part, or with modifications, the recommendations of the Final
Proposed Standard.

The built environment
The scope of the Final Proposed Standard included public and private sector
buildings, and public spaces such as parks, recreational trails and play spaces.
MCSS is responsible for considering the public spaces recommendations for
regulation under the Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulation, while MMAH is
responsible for considering the building recommendations as potential amendments
to the Building Code.
This dual approach ensures that construction requirements remain consolidated in
• the Building Code, in keeping with the governmenYs commitment to streamline
regulatory requirements where possible. Continuing to regulate barrier-free requirements through the Building Code also ensures that requirements are
enforced locally through the building permit process.
Requirements for public spaces are currently under development. A draft
regulation was posted for public review last summer 2012. For more information
on potential standards for public spaces, please contact www.ontario.ca/AccessOn
or the ServiceOntario AODA Contact Centre at 1-866-515-2025.

About Ontario's Building Code
Ontario's Building Code is authorized by the Building Code Act, 1992. The Act is
the legislative framework governing the construction, renovation, change of use
and demolition of buildings in Ontario. The Building Code is a regulation authorized
by the Act, and sets out detailed administrative and technical requirements.
Ontario's Building Code has been in effect since 1975. Prior to the enactment of
the first provincial Building Code Act in 1974, individual municipalities were
responsible for developing their own building codes, resulting in a fragmented and
potential confusing regulatory environment. The introduction of the provincial
Building Code addressed this problem by providing for uniform construction
standards across Ontario.
The 2006 edition of the Building Code represented a departure from past editions in
that it was written in an "objective-based" format that sets out the rationale
underlying the technical provisions of the Code. These provisions relate to: health
and safety (including fire protection, structural sufficiency and sanitation), barrier-
free accessibility, energy and water conservation and environmental integrity, and
conservation of buildings.
The objective-based format is intended to encourage innovation in building
materials, systems, and designs, and to provide greater flexibility to the industry in
meeting the objectives and requirements of the Building Code. This format has
continued in the newly released 2012 Building Code.
The Building Code has included basic accessibility requirements since its
development in 1975. Since that time, buildings intended for public access have
been built with accessibility features such as ramps and wider doors. Accessibility
requirements have been enhanced with each new edition of the Building Code.
Accessibility requirements related to renovations were introduced in 1997.
The 2006 Building Code included numerous changes to the Code's barrier-free
accessibility requirements including:
• Enhanced requirements for power door operator controls;
• Increased widths for barrier-free paths of travel and ramps in a barrier-free path
of travel; and,
• Requirements that at least 10 per cent of suites (to a maximum of 20) in a hotel
or motel meet minimum barrier-free requirements including the requirement for
visual fire alarms.
In November 2012, Ontario released the new 2012 edition of the Building Code.
The new Building Code ensures that Ontario's construction regulations remain
consistent with other provinces and territories, substantially improves energy-

efficiency requirements, and makes Ontario.one of the leading jurisdictions in North
America for water conservation. The new Code regulations largely take effect in
January of 2014, providing time until then for industry to understand the new
requirements and for technical training materials to be developed.
It is proposed that any enhancements to accessibility requirements will be made as
an amendment to the 2012 Building Code, following the public consultation and
technical review process outlined here.
Ontario's new 2012 Building Code, as well as the 2006 Building Code edition, is
available at www.ontario.ca/e-laws.
ServiceOntario publishes the Building Code Compendium, which contains the Code,
MMAH supplementary standards referenced in the Code, appendix notes, and other
documentation. The new 2012 Building Code Compendium will be available in
summer of 2013. The compendium and other Code products can be ordered
through the ServiceOntario at www.ontario.ca/publications.
Code development in Ontario
Changes to Ontario's Building Code are in response to:
• Government priorities;
• Changes in other jurisdictions;
• Proposals from the public and stakeholders; and,
Changing technology and industry standards.
New editions of the Building Code and significant interim amendments are
considered changes to the current Building Code. Most changes undergo a review
that consists of a public consultation on potential Code changes followed by
evaluation by one or more Building Code Technical Advisory Committees.
The Building Code development process is designed to specifically examine
potential Building Code changes. Public consultation and review by Technical
Advisory Committees ensure that the building industry and building officials have
an opportunity to contribute their extensive knowledge and practical experience. A
key part of ensuring that potential Code changes deliver on the intent of the •
Standard Development Committee recommendations is making sure that they are
technically feasible and enforceable by building officials.
As Code changes are developed and reviewed by Technical Advisory Committee
members and government, a number of factors are considered. These include:
• Technical feasibility of the potential changes;
• Alignment with Building Code objectives (including barrier-free
accessibility) and broader government priorities;
• Cost implications;
• Impact on design flexibility;
6
ATTACHMENT# 1 TOREPORT# C R Da-13
~of~.
• Capacity of industry to implement the changes; and,
• The ability of municipalities and other local authorities to enforce any
new requirements.
With all new editions or amendments to the Code, the government seeks to develop
a balanced package of changes that will enhance existing requirements, support the
economy and Ontario's building industry, and maintain Ontario's position as a
leader within Canada.
Recommendations submitted by Technical Advisory Committees are considered by
the Ministry to develop potential Code changes for review by Cabinet; the Building
Code is a regulation made by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Code changes
take effect on a date specified in the regulation. A transition period is generally
provided for changes which have significant stakeholder impacts.

Analysis and Development of Potential
Changes
Since the submission of the Accessible Built Environment Final Proposed Standard,
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has undertaken considerable policy
and technical analysis of the recommendations as they pertain to the Building Code.
Based on this analysis, the package of potential changes described in this
consultation paper would enhance accessibility requirements within the scope of the
Building Code, while meeting the intent of the Final Proposed Standard.
Costing information
A number of recommendations were analyzed in order to understand their potential
impact on construction costs in Ontario. Recommendations included in cost
analysis were those that added to the building area, or increased the size, types
and number of fixtures in the buildings. The costing analysis compared four generic
building prototypes including 11 different occupancies against the same buildings
with enhanced accessibility features. It also looked at cost differences between
locating the buildings in Southern Ontario (Greater Toronto Area) versus Northern
Ontario (Sudbury).
This exercise identified the incremental costs of individual elements and any cost
increases associated with the potential changes, the application of those elements
to the building design- and then adjusted the cost increase over the entire building. In general, the cost variance between the generic buildings and modified buildings
for each prototype were relatively small. The cost increases for each building
prototype were:
• Office building 0.59 per cent
• Apartment building 0.88 per cent
• College residence 1.99 per.cent
• Community school/recreation centre 1.05 per cent
Providing a transition period before Code changes come into effect would help
ensure that industry will be able to anticipate and budget for any additional costs.
Greater opportunities for people with disabilities and Ontario's aging population to
access retail, employment, and residential spaces may also create economic
benefits.

General approach
Ministry analysis has outlined a general approach to potential changes to the
Building Code. The general approach has been informed by the following principles
and information:
1. Building Code scope, app.lication and non-building elements
The Building Code would continue to be the key regulatory vehicle for the
implementation of accessibility requirements related to the construction,
renovation, and change of use of buildings. Recommendations related to non-
building design elements (e.g., millwork, finish materials, fixtures and non-building
equipment, colours and furniture) and the maintenance and operations of buildings
would not be incorporated into the Building Code. Barrier-free retrofits of existing
buildings, where no renovations are planned, would not be required.
2. Timelines •
Changes to the Building Code would be phased in to allow the building and design
industry to plan for and adjust to new requirements. This approach is consistent .
with past practice and Ontario's goal of building a streamlined and focused
regulatory environment.
3. Interjurisdictional and academic research '
Accessibility requirements set out in Ontario's Building Code are generally
consistent with or exceed requirements in other jurisdictions, including the rest of
Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Potential changes
included in this consultation would maintain Ontario's position as a leader in Canada
and be generally consistent with or other leading jurisdictions worldwide.
A recent research project commissioned by the United States Access Board has
identified measures that may result in new changes to the Americans with
, Disabilities Act Standards ("Anthropometry of Wheeled Mobility Project," 2010).
This research has informed the development of the potential changes described in
this paper.
4. Wheeled mobility devices
The Building Code would continue to contain provisions to accommodate a person
using a manual wheelchair. The current requirement is consistent with
recommendations for the design of public spaces as well as the current Americans •
with Disabilities Act guidelines. Based on research, it has been determined that the
width required to accommodate manual wheelchairs (which have a wider wheel
base than other wheeled mobility devices) is generally sufficient to accommodate
individuals using electric wheelchairs and scooters, although the smaller turning
space provided may not allow a 90-degree turn by users of electric wheelchairs and
scooters (for example, the user may have to make a T-turn).
9
ATTACF°iMENT#___L TOREPORT# Cf _da.'13
of a.y
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care indicates that funding for manual
wheelchairs is significantly more in demand than funding for power wheelchairs and
scooters, based on aggregate statistics from 2004-2010. Statistics Canada data
from the 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey similarly indicates much
higher use of manual wheelchairs among Canadians with mobility limitations, as
compared to use of electric wheelchairs and scooters.

Consultation Process
Public consultation is open until March 1, 2013.
Your participation is important and encouraged, given that consultations and
subsequent feedback will help guide the development of updated barrier-free
requirements in Ontario's Building Code.
Following the consultation, the technical changes and all comments received from
the public will be reviewed by Building Code Technical Advisory Committees. The
Technical Advisory Committees are comprised of broad, balanced and independent
representatives of stakeholder organizations. Members of the committees are
selected based on their leadership and technical expertise in building design and
construction. The Technical Advisory Committee for barrier-free design includes
members of organizations that represent people with disabilities.
Based on their technical analysis, the Technical Advisory Committees will then
provide recommendations to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The
committees' recommendations will carefully consider factors such as the technical
feasibility of potential Code changes, alignment with Code objectives, cost
implications, public safety, impact on design flexibility, capacity of industry to
implement and the ability to enforce.
Recommendations submitted by the Technical Advisory Committees will be
considered by the Government in developing proposed changes to the Building
Code.

Key Areas of the Consultation
1. Renovation
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard recommended that barrier-free requirements apply to
a broader range of renovations with limited exemptions (such as for certain areas
not normally occupied on a daily basis, or where renovation is technically infeasible,
structurally impractical, or would create"hardship"). The Final Proposed Standard
also recommended an exemption where barrier-free requirements adversely affect
the natural, cultural, or heritage value of a protected facility or environment.
The Final Proposed Standard also recommended that parts of buildings that provide
access to renovated suites should be made accessible (via a barrier-free path of
travel) or by developing a pian for accessibility.
Current Building Code Requirements
Barrier-free design requirements apply to existing buildings only when "extensive
renovations" are undertaken based on a number of criteria. Moreover,
requirements apply only to the area (i.e. "suite") undergoing renovation, not to the
entire building. Barrier-free design requirements do not apply to "basic
renovations" (e.g., removing a non-load-bearing wall).
Extensive renovat'ions must meet barrier-free design requirements if:
1. The interior walls or floors within the suite are substantially removed;
2. New interior walls or floors are installed;
3. The suite is larger than 300 mZ; and
4. The suite is located on a floor area where the existing difference in elevation
between the adjacent ground level and the floor level is not more than 200 mm
or, on a floor accessible by an elevator.
The approach in Ontario's Building Code is consistent with requirements in other
jurisdictions (Canadian model National Building Code, United States, Australia, and
United Kingdom).
• 12
ATTACHMENT#--J- TOREPORT#
of
Potential Changes to the Building Code • Extensive renovations.in suites larger than 300 m2 and located on an accessible
floor level would continue to be subject to full barrier-free design requirements
set out in the Building Code.
• For all extensive renovations in smaller suites or that are not located on a fully
accessible floor level (for example, located on the ground floor but with several
steps at the entrance way, or located on a higher storey in a building without
barrier-free access to all storeys), a number of barrier-free upgrades to the
building would be required, such as:
- Wider clear door widths (minimum 860 mm clear space);
- Lever door handles;
- Visual cues for glass doors; and
- Provision of an "ambulatory accessible stall" to be provided in cases where a
barrier-free stall or washroom is not provided. These stalls can
accommodate certain kinds of assistive devices used by people with
disabilities (e.g. individuals with limited balance or who walk with a cane or
walker). These stalls are slightly larger than standard washroom stalls and
are equipped with parallel grab bars, a barrier-free water closet, widened
. clear door widths, and door latches. However, they do not include turning
space required for individuals using wheelchairs.
Rationale and Considerations
• Barriers in existing buildings are a significant and ongoing concern for Ontarians
with disabilities. Where feasible, using renovation work undertaken by the
building owner as an opportunity to eliminate these barriers would be a
significant improvement to accessibility across Ontario.
• The potential changes meet the intent of the Standard Development Committee,
in proposing that all extensive renovations include certain accessibility upgrades.
• The potential changes would enhance accessibility requirements for all extensive
renovations, taking a staged approach to increasing accessibility in existing
building stock. The maintenance and renovation of existing building stock
supports protection of the environment, conservation of resources, the
preservation of architectural heritage, and municipal planning and density
requirements.
• Many small businesses are located in older or infill buildings along mainstreets
with a small number of entrance steps. Where providing a ramp for full barrier-
free access into the building is not technically feasible (due to potentially .
significant structural work), enhanced barrier-free features within the building
could still be provided, affording greater opportunities for all Ontarians to access
small retail and employment spaces.

2. Barrier-Free Path of Travel (Common Access and Circulation)
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard included a number of recommendations intended to
enhance barrier-free access and circulation. A number of these recommendations
are already included in or exceeded by the current Building Code, or addressed in
the proposed regulation on exterior public spaces. Other recommendations
proposed enhanced measures to facilitate barrier-free access and circulation
throughout buildings. These addressed building entrances, ramps, stairs, doors and
doorways, and floor surfaces, among others.
Current Building Code Requirements
The Building Code requires a barrier-free path of travel throughout most
occupancies and building types. In addition, the Building Code sets a number of
requirements related to common access and circulation, including minimum
provisions to accommodate a person using a typical manual wheelchair or other
manual mobility assistance devices (such as walkers or canes). These include
requirements related to building entrances, minimum doorway and corridor widths,
ramp dimensions, passing and rest spaces, and turning spaces.
Exterior walks connected to a building are addressed by the Code. The Code sets
minimum requirements for exterior barrier-free paths of travel as well as setting
requirements for curb ramps. _
Requirements in Ontario are consistent with or exceed standards in other
jurisdictions, including requirements set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Potential Changes to the Building Code
• Update and enhance Building Code requirements, such as:
- Requiring a minimum clear width of 860 mm for doorways;
- Reducing ramp slopes to a maximum slope of 1 in 15; and
- Requiring power door operator rough-ins for all doors throughout the barrier-
free path of travel.
• Allow T-shaped turning spaces as an additional design option.
• Update curb ramp requirements (where the curb ramp is directly related to a
building) and set prescriptive requirements for Tactile Walking Surface
Indicators, based on new guidelines and best practices in use by other
jurisdictions. (Proposed Building Code requirements would not apply to
requirements addressed by the proposed Design of Public Spaces regulation
developed by the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario.)
• Require a barrier-free path of travel to roof spaces where public amenities are
provided (such as a rooftop garden or pool area).
14
aTTArHMENT#TOREPORT# C2 pa ~3
~ of ~
Rationale and Considerations
• The potential changes are consistent with the intent of the Standard
Development Committee, by enhancing requirements for barrier-free circulation
within buildings, and broadening their application.
• US Access Board research conducted in 2010 recommended minimum
dimensions necessary to accommodate 95 per cent of manual wheelchair users.
Based on this research, updated dimensions are proposed in this consultation.
The potential changes would accommodate a higher proportion of power
wheelchair users as well.
• Roof areas are increasingly being used to provide amenities such as rooftop
gardens, bars, and barbeques. Making these roof areas accessible would allow
persons with disabilities to enjoy these amenities.
• Providing rough-ins for power door operators would reduce the potential costs of
installation if they are needed at a later date, and would support the needs of
Ontario's aging population.
3. Vertical Access (Elevators)
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard recommended an accessible route to all floors, and
indicated that elevators are a preferred means of travel. The Final Proposed
Standard recommended that escalators not be included as an acceptable option for
accessible routes. The recommendations also included design requirements for
elevators, other platform lifts, moving walks, ramps and elevator lobbies.
Current Building Code Requirements
The Building Code requires at least one firefighter elevator in buildings that are 18
metres (approximately six storeys) or higher. Elevators are also required in certain
care and treatment occupancies with sleeping rooms for residents and patients
(e.g., nursing homes and hospitals).
A barrier-free path of travel is required throughout the entrance storey of a building
and within all normally occupied floor areas where that floor is served by an
elevating device or ramp with the exception of certain service areas (e.g., elevator
machine rooms). Elevators that are part of a barrier-free path of travel must meet
the requirements of the Canadian Standards Association Standard B44 Appendix E,
"Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators".
15
ATTACHMENT# -L TO REPORT# C 3
of ~
Elevator design is regulated by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority, administered by the Ministry of Consumer Services. Specific requirements for
elevator design are not addressed in the Building Code.
Potential Changes to the Building Code
Require a barrier-free path of travel between storeys in a broader range of buildings
and occupancies:
• Group A, Division 1(assembly - performing arts) - all buildings
• Group A, Division 2(miscellarieous assembly) - all buildings, with specified
exemptions for restaurants, bowling alleys, licensed beverage establishments,
and childcare facilities
• Group A, Division 3(assembly - arena) - all buildings
• Group A, Division 4(assembly - open air) - not required
• Group B, all divisions (detention, care and treatment, care) - all buildings
• Group C(residential) - buildings 3 storeys and above or 600 meters squared
and above
• Group D(business, personal services) - buildings 3 storeys and above or 600
meters squared and above
• Group E (mercantile) - all buildings
• Group F, all divisions (industrial) - not required
In addition, escalators are proposed to be removed from the list of barrier-free I
design options for access between storeys.
Rationale and Considerations
• The potential change is consistent with the intent of the Standard Development
Committee to require elevators in a greater number of buildings.
• The potential approach will ensure that Ontario is consistent with or leads
requirements in other jurisdictions (the United States and Australia, for
example, require an accessible route through buildings 3 storeys or more).
• The potential approach enhances accessibility in buildings, whife mitigating the
cost, space impact, and design complexity of installing elevators in small
buildings.
• Exemptions would generally address occupancies where equivalent amenities
are provided on both storeys. Requirements for childcare facilities are set by
the Day Nurseries Act.
4. Visitable Suites in Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard recommended that, for Group C(residential) major
occupancy apartment buildings, 100 per cent of suites shall be visitable (i.e., designed to limit barriers to visitors with disabilities), and higher standards set for
visitability.
16
aTTAc'HMENT#_-L TO REPORT# G 2 Oa-13
I q of~
Current Building Code Requirements
The Building Code requires that no fewer than 10 per cent of residential apartment
building suites (for both rental and condo ownership buildings) have a barrier-free
path of travel through the suite entrance door to the doorway of at least one
bathroom. Although minimum room areas are specified, the Building Code does not
require rooms to be barrier-free, i.e., it does not specify turning space
requirements within apartments.
The Building Code requires a barrier-free entrance and path of travel throughout
common areas of an apartment building. It does not require power-door operators
at the main entrance of an apartment building.
Requirements in Ontario are consistent with, and in some cases exceed,
requirements in other jurisdictions. For example, the Americans with Disabilities
Act requires five per cent of units, and not less than one, to be accessible.
Potential Changes to the Building Code
Increase the current Building Code requirement for suites with barrier-free.features
in residential apartment buildings to 15 per cent of suites, as well as enhancing the
barrier-free features within those suites and increasing the choice of those suites
within a building.
Potential changes to barrier-free requirements include: I
• Not less than 15 per cent of residential suites must include the following barrier-
free features:
- A barrier-free path of travel from the suite entrance door through: (a) a
barrier-free doorway through at least one bedroom at the same level, and
(b) a barrier-free doorway through at least one bathroom, having a clear
floor space with 1.5 mZ turning diameter or a T-shaped turning space.
- Clear door opening and minimum width of 860 mm through to kitchen.
- Suite must be level throughout the main floor.
- A shower or bathtub must be provided in the bathroom on the barrier-free
path of travel.
• Suites with barrier-free features must be dispersed throughout the building to
provide choice.
• Suites with barrier-free features must proportionately reflect the variety of suite
sizes and types provided in the building (e.g., one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and
three-bedroom units).
• Suite entrance doors in all residential apartment buildings must include rough-
ins for power door operators, to facilitate installation if needed at a later date.
• Building entrance and entry vestibule doors must be equipped with power-door
operators in all Group C(residential) occupancies (such as apartment buildings,
hotels, and dormitories).
17
ATTACHMENT# L TOREPORT#C= `l3
a° of a~
Rationale and Considerations
• The potential change is consistent with the intent of the Standard Development
Committee to enhance the accessibility of Ontario's apartments for a broad
range of disabilities.
- According to 2006 Statistics Canada data, 2.93 million of Canadian adults
(11.5 per cent) reported some limitations due to a mobility disability. This
includes all reported mobility disabilities, classified as mild, moderate,
severe, or very severe.
- In addition, 2006 data indicated that, 277,550 (or roughly 9.5 per cent of
those reporting disabilities) Canadians used manual or electric wheelchairs or
scooters as a mobility aid.
- A requirement for 15 per cent of suites to be visitable reflects statistical
information on Canadian population characteristics.
• The Final Proposed Standard recommendation refers to the accessibility of I
apartment suites for visitors with disabilities. Enhancing the barrier-free
features within these suites would allow persons with disabilities to use the major amenities of the suite without undertaking substantial renovation.
• Requiring a higher number of accessible suites would likely increase the overall
cost of buildings (see anticipated cost impacts on page 8) and reduce the
number of suites permitted on a property.
• Providing rough-ins for power door operators would reduce the potential costs of
installation if they are needed at a later date, and supports the needs of
Ontario's aging population.
5. Adaptable Design and Construction
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard recommended that, for Group C(residential) major
occupancy apartment buildings, 50 per cent of suites shall be adaptable (i.e.,
designed in a way to facilitate future barrier-free renovations as needed).
Current Building Code Requirements The Code does not currently address general requirements for adaptable
construction. In all dwelling units, main bathrooms are required to be reinforced so
as to allow for the future installation of grab bars adjacent to the water closet and
shower or bathtub.
Potential Changes to the Building Code
, • Promote adaptable construction in Ontario homes, by requiring that kitchen
walls have sufficient loading capacity to support cupboards and counters at a
range of heights, including in single-family houses.
0 Current industry practices support broader adaptability through open-concept
design. i8
ATTACHMENT# ~ TO REPORT# C LQw13
a~of ~q
• Design guidelines and educational materials addressing adaptable construction
may be appropriate to include in educational and resource material addressing
barrier-free housing design.
Rationale and Considerations
• Ensuring that dwellings include more easily adaptable kitchens and bathrooms
would support "aging-in-place" and the needs of an aging population. The
Ontario Seniors' Secretariat has indicated that the number of seniors aged 65
and over is projected to more than double from 1.9 million in 2011 to 4.2 million
in 2036 (23.6 per cent of the population). •
6. Visual Fire Alarms
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard recommended that all emergency alarms should have
an auditory and visual mode in multi-unit residential buildings including student
residences. It also recommended visual fire alarms in all universal toilet rooms as
well as in all public spaces and guest rooms of hotels and motels.
Current Building Code Requirements
The Building Code requires that visual fire alarms must be installed (in addition to
audible fire alarms) in:
• A building or portions of buildings intended for use primarily by persons with
hearing impairment;
• Public corridors serving buildings with assembly, care, business and personal
services, and commercial occupancies (including arenas, theatres, churches,
hospitals, nursing homes, office buildings and retail establishments);
• Assembly occupancies such as arenas, theatres, and churches must also have
visual fire alarms in their auditorium area and anywhere else the public might
congregate; and,
• At least 10 per cent of hotel and motel suites.
Visual fire alarms are not required in private homes, classrooms or small care
occupancies (i.e., 10 or fewer people or six or fewer people requiring assistance).
Potential Changes to the Building Code
• Require that all hardwired smoke alarms include a visual component, including
in single-family houses. This would include at least one hardwired smoke alarm
on every level, as well as one hardwired smoke alarm in every sleeping room.
19
i
.
ATTACFiMENT#~. TOREPORT# C~ ~a-13 ~
aa of 1;~ C1
• Require that all residential apartment building suites include rough-ins for visual
fire alarms.
Rationale and Considerations
• Health Canada states that approximately 10 per cent of Canadians have a
significant hearing problem. This potential change would enhance the safety
and security of individuals with auditory impairments.
• While smoke alarms with a visual component are relatively low in cost (an
approximate additional $10), the cost of equipping a building or dwelling unit
with visual fire alarms is more expensive (approximately $500 to $1,000).
• This potential change would support "aging-in-place," as buildings outfitted with
visual fire safety devices help to address the needs of an aging population, in ,
which the prevalence of hearing impairments is increasing. The Ontario Seniors'
Secretariat has indicated that the number of seniors aged 65 and over is
projected to more than double from 1.9 million in 2011 to 4.2 million in 2036 ~
(23.6 per cent of the population).
• The potential change would bring Ontario standards higher than those in other
jurisdictions. Currently, requirements in Ontario are generally consistent with
those set out in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
7. Washrooms
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard included a number of recommendations intended to
enhance the accessibility of barrier-free washrooms, showers, and bathtubs in
publicly accessible buildings. These addressed the recommended number of
barrier-free washrooms per building, as well as proposed changes to clear floor
space within washrooms, stall sizes and door widths, grab bars, washroom
accessories, and emergency call.switches. The Final Proposed Standard also
recommended increasing the minimum required number of universal toilet rooms
per building and requiring an adult change table in each universal toilet room.
Current Building Code Requirements
The Building Code requires barrier-free washrooms to be provided in public areas of
buildings where barrier-free requirements apply (i.e., exempting houses, high
hazard industrial buildings, and buildings not intended for daily or full-time
occupancy such as pumphouses and substations). These washrooms must be
situated on a barrier-free path of travel and are subject to a number of requirements addressing turning space, doorway widths, grab bars, counter
heights, and signage, among others. The Building Code also sets requirements
related to showers and bathtubs. One universal toilet room per building is required,
with a clear turning space with a minimum diameter.
Requirements in Ontario's Code are consistent with those in other jurisdictions.
20
ATTAChMENT#-J- 70REPORT# G2
,13 of~
Potential Changes to the Building Code
• Update and enhance current Building Code requirements, such as:
- Amending mounting height and location requirements for washroom ,
accessories such as towel dispensers and hand dryers;
- Adding fold-down grab bar design options to allow for transfer space on both
sides of the water closet;
- Removing the option to provide a diagonal rather than L-shaped grab bar;
- Specifications for accessible urinals; and,
- Requiring a minimum clear floor area of 1.5 m2 within washroom stalls for
turning space.
• Require power door operators to be installed at entrances to all barrier-free
washrooms, including washrooms where a barrier-free stall is provided.
• Allow T-shaped turning spaces as an additional design option for washroom clear
turning space dimensions.
• Require at least one universal toilet room in all buildings, and, for multi-storey
buildings, at least one for every three floors.
• Require space to be provided for an adult change table in all universal toilet
rooms.
Rationale and Considerations
• The potential approach is consistent with the intent of the Standard
Development Committee, while mitigating space and cost concerns in washroom
design. -
• Adult change tables facilitate privacy for persons with disabilities requiring assisted care. Providing space for adult change tables to be provided in
universal toilet rooms would ensure that property owners and managers have
the flexibility to provide needed facilities while balancing security, maintenance,
and cost concerns.
8. Use of Guidelines and Resource Materials
Final Proposed Standard Recommendation
The Final Proposed Standard made recommendations for non-building design
elements such as tonal contrast (e.g., tonal contrast of at least 70 per cent
between doors and the surrounding environment), colour (e.g., colour and texture
to distinguish hallways and pathways), glare (e.g., shower floors to have a non-
glare surface), noise (e.g., common-use work areas to be free of unnecessary
background noise) and furniture placement (e.g., transient lodging guest rooms to
have sufficient space around furniture).
Current Building Code Requirements
21
ATTACFiMENT#---L- TOREPORT# 2-61"13
a q. of C'~ ~
Non-building design elements are not part of the Building Code. Certain types of
buildings that have additional conditions beyond the Building Code tend to be
addressed by requirements outlined by the jurisdiction of interest (e.g., Ministry of
the Attorney General guidelines for courtrooms and Ministry of Health and Long
Term Care standards for hospitals).
Ontario's Building Code Compendium includes explanatory Appendix Notes intended
to provide examples and information on technical requirements. These include
Appendix Notes on requirements for barrier-free design, which provide information
on where requirements may apply and provide illustrated diagrams of design items
such as doorway clearances, access aisles in parking areas, and shower and
washroom clearances.
Potential Changes to the Building Code
Alternative mechanisms such as design guidelines should be considered for certain
Final Proposed Standard recommendations that fall outside the scope of the
Building Code and are not otherwise addressed by existing guidelines. These
guidelines would include best practices, be non-regulatory and support industry.
New and updated non-regulatory Appendix Notes on barrier-free design
requirements are also proposed. For example, the current Appendix Note that ,
provides information on the general accessibility requirements in the Code is
proposed to be amended to provide a broadened understanding of accessibility,
beyond accommodations intended for the use of wheeled mobility devices.
In addition, illustrated diagrams of new design concepts such as T-shaped turning
spaces and ambulatory washroom stalls are proposed.
Rationale and Considerations
• The Building Code comprises the minimum standards for the construction,
renovation, and change of use of buildings. Its scope covers basic, day-to-day
barrier-free construction requirements (e.g., barrier-free entry into buildings,
barrier-free access throughout buildings and barrier-free access into publicly
accessible washrooms). .
• Non-building elements fall outside the scope of the Building Code. They can also
be more difficult to enforce since their installation or alteration does not require
a building permit.
• Appenclix Notes and other explanatory material are valuable to building officials
and the design industry and are frequently consulted through the building
permit process.

A number of recommendations included in the Final Proposed Standard are also
under consideration as part of this public consultation, but do not fit within the
categories described above.. These recommendations tend to address specific
spaces such as pools, theatres, and parking garages.
Potential Changes to Barrier-Free Access for Pools, Spas, and Locker
Rooms • Requiring barrier-free access into and out of public pools and spas, through a
ramp or pool lift. Options for transfer walls and pool stairs, in addition to a
ramp or lift, would be provided.
• Requiring tactile surface indicators around the pool edge.
• Requiring a barrier-free path of travel from the entrance to the pool area and
change facilities.
• Requiring barrier-free washrooms to be provided in the change area.
Potential Changes to Access Aisles and Clearances Within Parking Garages
• Currently, the Code requires that entrance for vehicles to and from parking
garages, and specifically to accessible parking spaces, have a minimum of
2100 mm vertical clearance. The potential change described here would also
require that a minimum of 2500 mm vertical clearance is provided to and from
accessible van parking spaces in parking garages.
• For passenger loading zones, an access aisle with minimum dimensions of two
metres wide and seven metres long would be required. ,
Potential Changes to Amended Requirements for Accessibility Seating
Spaces
• Expanded dimensions for seating spaces, so that they are a minimum of
900 mm wide, and 2200 mm long when accessed from a side approach or
1370 mm long when accessed from the front or rear.
• Requiring accessible spaces to be dispersed throughout the seating area, to
provide a choice of viewing location and a clear view of the event taking place.
• Requiring the theatre to be provided with storage for mobility devices.
0 Requiring seats to be provided with at least one adjacent companion seat.
Technical and Administrative Clarifications
Other Code changes for consultation reflect a review of current requirements and
feedback from Building Code users. A number of technical clarifications and new
definitions are proposed to provide greater clarity to designers and building
officials. Examples include clarifying requirements for guards at landings, clarifying
where a sloped floor must be designed as a ramp, and clarifying requirements for
barrier-free showers where a group of showers is provided.

Other Technical Matters
In addition to potential changes to barrier-free design requirements, a small
number of other technical items are included in this public consultation. These
address new standards proposed to be referenced in Ontario's Building Code.
Emissions Standards for Wood-Burning Appliances
Residential wood-burning appliances can contribute to air pollution and generate
smoke harmful to human health. This consultation includes a potential amendment
to the Building Code referencing a standard developed by the Canadian Standards
Association limiting particulate matter emissions from wood-burning appliances.
This potential change would advance Ontario's commitment to environmental
protection and air quality.
Industry Standards for Exterior Insulation and Finish.Systems
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are multi-layered exterior wall
systems that are used on both commercial buildings and homes. They promote
energy efficiency and offer design flexibility. This public consultation includes a
potential amendment to the Building Code referencing a set of new industry
standards for these systems. Referencing these standards, developed by the
Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC), would standardize the requirements for
these systems, provide clarity to the existing applicable provisions of the Code, and
simplify approvals for the use of these systems in Ontario municipalities.
Updated Standards for Heating, Cooling, and Ventilation Design
Two of the standards for heating, cooling, and ventilation systems currently
referenced in Ontario's Building Code are out-of-date. Referencing new, updated
editions of these standards in the Code would help to ensure that heating and
cooling equipment for houses is sized based on contemporary calculation methods,
saving energy and money, and enable effective ventilation system designs that
achieve acceptable indoor air quality in large buildings.

PI ~KERING Report Number: FIN 02-13
Date: February 25, 2013
From: Paul Bigioni
Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor
Subject: 2013 Current Budget and Financial Statements
Excluded Expenses Reporting as Required by Ontario Regulation 284/09
Recommendation:
1. That Report FIN 02-13 of the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor be
received; and,
2. That Report FIN 02-13 of the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor
regarding the exclusion of certain expenses from the 2013 Budget be adopted in
accordance with the provisions of Ontario Regulation 284/09 of the Municipal Act
2001.
Executive Summary: Under Ontario Regulation 284/09, municipalities are required ~i
to report on whether amortization expense, post-employment benefits and other
expenses are included in the annual current budget. This Regulation allows a
municipality to exclude estimated expenses for these items from the 2013 annual
budget, however, the municipality is required to report on the financial effects. The
required reporting provides a reconciliation between the budget preparation method
(cash flow) and the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) standards for financial
statement reporting purposes. Adoption of this report by Council fulfills the reporting ~
requirements of the Regulation. Financial Implications: There is no financial impact from the exclusion of these
expenses as the annual budget is prepared on a cash flow basis. This document
provides an accounting reconciliation between the two reporting methods employed in
the annual Current Budget and the 2013 Audited Financial Statements..
Discussion: Ontario Regulation 284/09 (O. Reg. 284/09) under-the Municipal Act,
2001, S.O. 2001, C. 25 as amended, allows a municipality to exclude expenses from
the 2013 Budget for the following:
i Amortization expenses
ii Post-employment benefit expenses
Starting with the 2009 year end, accounting standards and reporting requirements have
changed dramatically; most significantly with the introduction of tangible capital asset
accounting. The new accounting standards, however, do not require budgets to be
Report FIN 02-13 Date: February 25, 2013
Subject: 2013 Current Budget and Financial Statements Page 2
Excluded Expenses Reporting as Required by Ontario
Regulation 284/09
prepared on the same basis. The City of Pickering, like most municipalities, continues
to prepare budgets on the traditional cash basis, which provides a clear and concise
understanding of critical budget information.
The annual budget process is an important municipal exercise that considers plans for
the current and future activities of the City. One of the main outcomes of this process is
to set the tax rate which Council is asked to approve.- The tax rate is determined by the
cash basis of accounting and does not include PSAB reporting requirements or accrual
accounting and accounting for non-financial assets and liabilities such as amortization
(depreciation) and post-employment benefits.
Amortization Expenses
By definition, amortization expense, frequently referred to as depreciation, in its simplest
terms, is defined as the annual expense or use of the asset over its estimated useful
life. Amortization expense is a tool used by financial professionals to predict the future
annual financial commitment required for asset replacements. For 2013, the estimated
amortization expense is $9.734 million, based upon net assets of $187.7 million.
Post-Employment Benefit Expense
Post-Employment Benefit expense represents the change in the accrued benefit liability
for both post-retirement extended healthcare benefits and accrued sick leave
entitlement. Since the City is self insured for the purpose of workplace injury claims, it
also represents the accrued liability for Workplace Safety and Insurance Act Benefits.
PSAB standards do not require liabilities associated with these benefits to be fully
funded, however, actuarial reviews are conducted to estimate these unfunded liabilities
which are projected to increase by approximately $634,000 for 2013.
Financial Summary
The estimated change in the accumulated surplus of the City for 2013 resulting from the
exclusion of these expenses from the budget is as follows:
PSAB Additions to 2013 Budget (Reduces Surplus - expenses that were
excluded)
Amortization $9, 734, 000
Post-Employment Benefits 634,000
Total PSAB Additions $10.368,000

Financial Implications: The 2013 Current and Capital Budgets, if adopted as
amended, will result in a property tax levy increase of 3.75% (City Share Only) over last
year which translates into a 1.05% increase in the City's share of the total property tax
bilt.
This increase, when combined with the Region and the School Boards increase, results
in an increase of 2.35% on the total property tax bill.
The above excludes any property tax shifts due to reassessment and potential Provincial
tax policy changes: Any changes as a result of Provincial Tax Policy changes will be
adjusted in the calculation of the final tax rates.
The changes below resulted from the Executive (Budget) Committee's review of the
Current and Capital budgets on a"line-by-line" basis resulting in the following changes:

Discussion: The Recommendations put forth are those necessary to adopt and
provide authority and direction for the 2013 Current and Capital Budgets for the City of
Pickering.
2013 Current Budget
During the budget discussions last spring, staff presented a proposed 2013 tax levy
increase in the range of 5.0 to 5.5%. This forecast was based on information available at
that time and to continue current City service levels and maintain a strong financial
position for the rate stabilization reserve.
In October 2012, Report CAO 18-12 presented to Council a 2013 base budget guideline
of 4.9%. Subsequent to that report, Council directed staff to provide the City with a
budget levy increase of no more than 3.75% and to maintain current service levels. The
2013 budget (Current and Capital) have met this fiscal challenge, maintaining City
services and reducing the City's use of the rate stabilization reserve. Although staff did
meet the financial and service level target, there were reductions made to the Capital and
Current budget to reach the budget target. Attachment 1 provides a high level
breakdown of the 3.75% budget levy increase.
The 3.75% increase translates into an average increase of approximately $58.21 per
year or $1.12 per week for the average residential dwelling in Pickering (based on an
assessment value of $345,000).
Report FIN 03-13 . February 25, 2013
Subject: 2013 Current & Capital Budget Page 7
At the February 14th Executive (Budget) Committee meeting, Council was presented
with a proposed budget levy increase of 3.75%. As noted earlier, Council made a small
number of changes to the Current Budget that did not affect the tax levy.
Tax Increase Summary
The 3.75% tax increase translates into an increase of 1.05% on the total tax bill. The
3.75% levy increase compares favorably to other municipalities, especially when one
considers that Pickering has had the lowest tax rate among its Durham Region
Lakeshore neighbours for over fifteen years. Adding the Region's tax increase for
Pickering (2.35%) and the School Board's estimated 0% increase, the total increase for
the residential ratepayer will be approximately 2.35%, which is slightly below the rate of
inflation.
Table One below provides a summary of the financial impact of the proposed 2013 tax
levy increase based on various assessed values.
Table One
Financial Impact of Budget Increase
City Share Only
Residential Assessment $100,000 $200,000 $300,000 $400,000
Increase Over 2012 $16.87 $33.74 $50.61 $67.48
This is the first year of the Province's four year reassessment cycle. Assessment
related increases are phased in over four years and assessment related decreases are
implemented immediately. The City does not receive any additional revenue as a result
of reassessment. The corresponding property tax rates are adjusted for the increase in
reassessment values to create an overall property tax neutral position on a total property
class basis. In other words, the City does not raise additional taxation revenue due to
reassessment.
The impact on the individual homeowner is based on their specific reassessment
increase, relative to the City-wide average of 3.16%.
There are also assessment related tax shifts for the Region and Education. These
impacts will be based on the average reassessment increases on a Region-wide basis
and for Education on a Province-wide basis.

Last year, the 2012 budget included a reduction to the draw from the Rate Stabilization
Reserve of $257,000. The 2013 budget continues this direction by reducing the draw by
an additional $477,375. Over the first three years of this current Council term, the draw
has been reduced by $1,234,000. The 2014 and 2015 financial plan maintains this
course and provides for further reductions of draws from the Rate Stabilization Reserve.
Supplemental Taxation Revenue
Supplemental taxation revenue of $200,000 is now included in this year's budget. This
revenue source was excluded in previous years, mainly due to the fact that the City's
assessment growth was always so low that supplemental taxation was difficult to predict
with any confidence. With the ongoing development of Duffin Heights and other
construction projects, it is now fiscally appropriate to include supplemental taxation in the
City's budget.
Accessibility Initiatives The allocation of $40,000 in the 2013 Capital Budget, and a similar amount in prior years,
is to provide for minor capitat improvements identified by staff during the year. This
allocation is in addition to substantial amounts for a number of specific accessibility
projects included elsewhere in the annual Capital budget in the amount of $1,547,187.
Attachment 2 provides a breakdown of the City's planned accessibility investments for
the years 2013 to 2016.
2013 User Fees & Charges Schedule
Every year, the City reviews its user fees, mainly for various recreational and cultural
programs, to partially reflect the cost of delivering these programs. Council passed
Resolution #149/03 confirming the City's existing user fees through a specific by-law.
This By-law has been updated as part of each year's budget process. Other fees have
been introduced to address industry trends and their associated costs.
Debt Financing of Capital Projects
The Capital Budget utilizes $8.8 million in debt (external and internal loans.) This year,
the City will pay $4.418 million in interest and principle payments to service the current
debt. The City's current outstanding debt as of December 31, 2012 is $20.9 million. For
2014, the debt charges are predicted to increase to $5.1 million based on the current
capital forecast. However, the 2014 debt forecast is sensitive to interest rate changes
and timing of capital projects.
Report FIN 03-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: 2013 Current & Capital Budget Page 9
Recommendation 10 establishes a new guideline for the City as it pertains to debt
financing (external debt and internal loans). The recommended debt capital payment
_ limit (15%) establishes a higher threshold in comparison to the Provincial legislation of
25% based on all revenue sources. The proposed debt capital limit is a more
conservative approach in relation to the Province and is beneficial to the City.
2013 Tax Rates
As has been the case for the last few years, the 2013 Property Tax rates and
corresponding levy By-law will be presented to Council. -
2013 Capital Budget
This year, the draft Capital Budget totals $24.1 million which includes $4.9 million for the
indoor soccer dome. Recommendation 11 provides an exemption to the City's Fair
Wage Policy for the indoor soccer dome project. The indoor soccer dome capital and
operating costs are being funded by the Pickering Soccer Club (PSC). For this project,
the City's role can be viewed from the perspective of being a"fiscal agent or middle man"
in securing the debt financing in contrast to its traditional role of being a mortgagee and
paying off the debt obligation. Therefore, an exemption to the Fair Wage Policy is
appropriate. In other words, the indoor soccer dome is not a traditional city project and
should be exempt from this Policy.
The major capital projects are listed below.

Government Grant Funding
The 2013 Capital Budget proposes to use various grants to reduce the City share of the
project's cost. The major grants are: Federal Gas Tax Grant ($3,145,000), Provincial &
Federal Grants related to Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund ($333,396), and
Investing in Ontario Grant ($205,250).
2014 - 2017 Capital Forecast
Included in the budget is the City's 2014 - 2017 Capital Forecast. This document
outlines the City's current financial plan including preliminary costs associated with
Seaton. On page three of the forecast, you will notice that the total capital forecast is for
$198.7 million of which $94.6 million will be funded from debt and internal loans. This
means that for every dollar spent, $0.476 is projected to come from debt financing
sources. •
Report FIN 03-13 February 25, 2013
Subject: 2013 Current & Capital Budget Page 11
This capital forecast captures all previously discussed visions and projects, and will be
revisited on an annual basis to ensure fiscal feasibility to confirm Council's interest in
proceeding with the project.
The proposed new Operations Centre project has been deferred to 2014. The project
has been deferred in order for the project's cost to be "fine tuned" and to develop various
financing strategies. It is anticipated that by the end of 2013, staff will have better cost
information and would have explored various financial options.
Multi-Year Financial Plan
Last year, staff presented to Council a multi-year high level financial plan for the years
2013 to 2016. At the Executive Budget Committee meeting of February 14, 2013, staff
presented a financial projection for the years 2013 to 2017 based on a"status quo"
scenario. (Status quo being simply defined as maintaining existing services and not
including Seaton or any major capital projects). Under this financial scenario, the City is
able to reduce its reliance on the rate stabilization draw, keep a healthy balance in its
rate stabilization reserve and maintain financial flexibility.
Seaton Financial Impact Study
Within the next few months, it is staff's intent to bring forward a report on the fiscal impact
of Seaton on Pickering. This study and its financial impact are an important component
to the City's long-term financial forecast. In other words, when the fiscal impact of
Seaton is added to the existing financial forecast, Council will have a more complete
financial picture and its long-term financial implications.

Municipal Inflation vs. C.P.I.
Consumer Price Index or CPI is typically based on a basket of goods
and services used by on average household
Municipalities usually have a Municipal Price Index or MPI that uses a
different basket of goods
MPI is higher than CPI due to heavier reliance on labour, utilities and '
energy cost

Development Charges &
Assessment Growth
Development Charges...
Paid for through building permits and used to fund new infrastructure
(capital costs) related to growth
Assessment Growth...
New revenue (property taxes) that pays for expanding services to an
expanding city
Assessment growth is not always equivalent to...
"ProfiY" or "Gravy" available to reduce tax rates
5
Development Charges
■The growth related needs of the City were last identified in the (July)
2009 Development Charges Study
■The 2009 study identified approximately $303 million in gross capital
project costs
■The current DC By-Law expires in one year (July, 2014). (DCA, under
subsection 9.1 sets a five year limit for DC By-laws)
■It is staff's intent or goal to start the process in March to be completed
well in advance of the July, 2014 deadline date

Reserves & Reserve Funds
Reserves & Reserve funds are critical
Why are they critical?
✓To pay bills (liquidity)
✓To cover liabilities and emergencies
✓For effective asset management (ensure funds are available to renew or replace assets
while "charging" the appropriate taxpayer)
✓To make investments
What happens without Reserves and Reserve Funds?
-Costs will increase (debt service costs, short-term borrowing costs)
•Reduction in capital works and investments
■Could have liquidity problems and have to issue a second tax levy increase
•Loss of flexibility to take advantage of future senior government stimulus funding programs

Reserves & Reserve Funds

How much do we have in reserve funds anyway?
2011 Financial Statements shows a balance close to $47.8 million
~ ■This is the cash position at the end of 2011 (does not account for projects that have not yet drawn their allocation from the reserve funds: therefore balance is higher than
projected) II
■The balance includes both obligatory reserve funds (Development Charges) and
restricted reserve funds (WSIB). These reserve funds have strict rules around their
use i 2011 Current Reserve'Fund Position shows $38.4 million
■This is the estimated position at the end of 2011 after all projects commitments have
been withdrawn
The City I Iso has $28.8 million in additional reserves of which $17.13
million is~ the Rate Stabilization Reserve. (December31, 2011)

Long-term DebtApproach Debt includes long-term debt, internal loans and capital
leases
The term of debt must be equal to or less than the life of
the asset
The Province limits the total amount of debt that a
municipality can issue to 25% of its "own-source
revenues". (All revenues less Federal and Provincial
Grants)

City Recommended Debt Strategy
Senior staff do not recommend using the 25% debt "CAP"
I
Staff recommend that the debt "CAP" be set at 15% of total taxation
Revenues as stated in Councii report CAO 18-12 - Higher
Standard
Using this approach the City's debt "CAP" (2013) would be $8.1
million in contrast to the $14.0 million

Council can control the timing of capital projects that in-turn will
impact on the debt payments 15
Guideline for Debt - 15% of
Total Taxation Revenues
The projected debt charges are below the City's 15% °Cap"
The debt charge forecast excludes major projects
The strategy for major projects is for the City to maximize alternative
financing sources (grants, DCs, reserves) and to use debt as the
financing source of last resort
The City will have to strategically plan the timing of future major capital
projects to ensure that the 15% guideline is followed and to take
advantage of potential senior level grant and or stimulus funding

Block 131, Plan 40M-2461
- File: PLC.40M-2461.3
In 2012, By-law 7199/12 was enacted and registered exempting Block 131, Plan 40M-2461 from
the part lot control provisions of the Planning Act, thus permitting the Owner to convey the I
individual units into private ownership. That by-law is in effect until March 26, 2013. ~I
We have recently received notification from Cougs (Tillings) Ltd. advising that, while some of the
units will be conveyed into private ownership prior to the by-law expiry date, there are units that 'are scheduled to close after March 26, 2013. Accordingly, another Part Lot Control By-law is
required to ensure legal conveyance of those units. .
Attached are a location map and a draft by-law, enactment of which will exempt this Block from
the part lot control provisions of the Planning Act. This draft by-law is attached for the
consideration of City Council at its meeting scheduled for February 25, 2013.

L. Roberts provided an overview of a new pilot program being
implemented for advisory boards and committees. She
provided an outline of the program, explaining that a staff
facilitator would preside over the meetings rather than the current Chair or Vice-Chair beginning in February. The staff
facilitator will be an impartial component to the Committee to
maintain flow of agenda items and assist with questions and
provide advice if needed. This would enable all committee . '
members to concentrate on the Committee's mandate. The
program will proceed on a trial basis, with Committee member

3.2) Harbour Entrance Reconstruction Update
A. Mostert provided an update with respect to the construction
on the harbor entrance. He noted the site had been prepared
with construction fencing in place. He noted that signage
would be going up to inform park users and residents in the
area of truck traffic. He also noted alternative arrangements
were being made with the Canoe Club with respect to parking
and the location of their storage trailers for public safety
reasons. He also noted a newsletter would be going out by the
end of next week. It will be emailed tp all those who have
provided their email addresses and will be posted on the City
and TRCA websites. N. Gaffney, TRCA, informed the Committee they would be using a barge to haul materials to the East Spit rather than a
bridge. The benefit with this is that the barge can be used all ;
year.
~
C. Beattie questioned what steps would be taken to keep
residents informed. A. Mostert noted all information would be
posted on the City's website and emailed to residents in the
form of a newsletter. Contact information would also be
available on site.
Discussion ensued with respect to issues with truck traffic
being unaware of the haul routes. A. McKinnon questioned
signage for truck traffic. Staff responded that 4 X 8 signs are
being erected on the haul route. N. Gaffney noted all drivers
should be well informed of the route and fines will be given for
non compliance. She noted they have all signed contracts for
compliance and that TRCA will maintain the integrity of the
area.
Councillor O'Connell questioned who the contact at the Region
of Durham was with regards to obtaining approval for the sign
installations. She also questioned the location of the signs as
well as traffic schedules.
Discussion ensued with residents noting their concern with the
number of trucks per day, and having a contact persons on
site. N. Gaffney noted the site personnel were there to

Discussion ensued with respect to the number and speed of
trucks as well as their routes. Staff responded to questions
raised regarding the barge, times it would run, who will unload,
the size of the barge.
A. McKinnon questioned the cost of the barge versus a bridge.
M. Hedge requested clarification with respect to the
construction timelines. K. Falconer questioned how many
times trucks had used the wrong routes and what if any
disciplinary action was taken. N. Gaffney noted only the
trucks which were awarded the contracts would be allowed to
enter the site. They will be monitoring to ensure compliance.
K. Falconer felt it was important to have a line of
communication with the truck drivers so they do not deviate
from their routes. L. DeBono suggested signage be placed on
Oklahoma.
A. Mostert advised that a By-law enforcement officer has been
invited to attend the next construction meeting to discuss '
potential parking issues related to reduced available parking
within the park during construction. Parking on West Shore
Boulevard and Sunrise Avenue will need to be encouraged
during peak hours in the summer.
L. DeBono questioned whether the tenders were complete and
if construction was on schedule. N. Gaffney noted the
newsletter would indicate milestones and will be updated each
month with pictures, what is happening, any upcoming issues
and how they are being addressed in an effort to keep ,
communication open. ,
3.3) Eurasian Water-Milfoil Weed Update
J. Dike passed the Chair to M. Robbins in order to provide an
update with respect to the Milfoil Weeds, as he is Chair of the
Steering Committee.

' representatives from the boating community as well as finro
community associations with plans to include additional
community groups. He indicated they had prepared a
management plan and noted he would provide this
electronically to anyone who wished to provide their email _
addresses. He noted this was still a work in progress with their

He stated they planned on a budget of $83,000 (for the first
year), being 60% funded by the community and were planning
on asking the City of Pickering to fund $30,000.
Discussion ensued and it was suggested a presentation be
made to the Budget Committee meeting to be held on February
14tn
He stated a letter had been forwarded to the Mayor with copies
to all members of the Committee which provided information on
the milfoil weed. He provided an overview of the weed, stating
it takes oxygen out of the water, damages fish and is a public
safety concern to boaters as well as swimmers.
He noted a lot of time and effort has gone into researching the
best ways to alleviate the milfoil weed problem. He stated the
first choice was the weevil, noting this would be a long term
process, results would not be noticed right away.
Discussion continued with respect to fundraising initiatives and
questions were raised as follows:
• What effect is there with respect to other vegetation?
• What are TRCA and the Ministry's positions regarding .
the use of weevils?
• What levels of government are responsible?
• Is there any consideration to use pesticides?
• Is one season enough time to try this? N. Gaffney noted
it could take up to finro years to become self sustaining
It was suggested that a fact sheet be placed on the City's
website and to try weevils in the first year, then look into
government approved herbicides later. J. Dike noted Lake
Scugog has experienced success with the use of weevils
A. Mostert noted staff have been requested to prepare a report
to go to Council in March. Councillor Dickerson noted he
would bring this up during budget discussions.
Councillor O'Connell stated there needs to be a public process.
J. Dike noted they would discuss plans for a public meeting
at the next steering committee meeting.

also noted an 8 sided lighthouse would be a good opportunity
for advertising and could generate income to offset the costs of
milfoil weeds.
M. Hedge noted she was in support of looking at options for -
advertising on the lighthouse, and suggested considering one
per year.
C. Beattie stated she was in agreement with lighthouse
advertising if it was done tastefully.
A. McKinnon noted his concerns with the advertising getting
out of hand and also noted concerns with aesthetics.
L. Debono expressed his concerns with keeping the heritage of
the lighthouse stating it could be a symbol of Pickering as a
harbor community.
P. Short-Galle questioned whether the lighthouse could be
added into the plans at a later date, noting fundraising for
weevils should come first.
In response to comments regarding who would be enjoying the
heritage lighthouse, J. Dike noted both piers would be .
accessible, stating a number of residents would be taking
advantage of the Bay.
