TRCA has estimated that it will take approximately 1.7 million cubic metres of earth fill to bring the
land up to grade, which is anticipated to take five to seven years to deposit. TRCA has requested
waiving ofthe fill permit tipping fee, and should the City of Toronto waive the fair market value for
all the property entitlements, interests and permissions for the ancillary uses, the City would
acquire the use of the land for recreational purposes, at no cost. City staff will work with TRCA
staff to ensure a landscape master plan is developed for the Brock North Lands that achieves a
balance between ecological restoration and future recreational facilities.
Financial Implications: TRCA plans to place approximately 1.7 million cubic metres of fill on
the Brock North Lands that would have resulted in the City receiving $3.4 million dollars of fill
permit revenue,. based on the current Fees and Charges By-law. The waiving of the fill permit
tipping fee will result in the City foregoing that revenue. If however, the fill permit tipping fee is
imposed, TRCAhave indicated that it will not proceed with the project, as it would be cost
prohibitive. As detailed in Report ENG 04-13, the City originally anticipated that it would incur
costs on land acquisition and construction of a Community Park within the Brock North Lands. If
the recommendations in this report are approved then the City would obtain the use of the land for
recreational purposes, at no cost, should the City of Toronto waive the fair market value for all the
property entitlements, interests and permissions for the ancillary uses. In addition, the fill to be
placed on the Brock North Lands will bring them up to a grade and contour suitable for
construction of a Community Park.
The recommendations, if approved, do not result in expenditures for the 2017 budget year,
however, revenue of $48,800 from TRCA for the fill that was deposited in 2015, was received in
the 2017. In addition, TRCA will pay the application fee for the associated fill permit. Capital costs
for development of the Brock North Lands for recreational and museum purposes will be incurred
in future years, as required.
Discussion: As described in ENG 04-13 (see Attachment #1 ), the GCL are
· comprised of four parcels of land: Brock North and the Radar Property located in the City of
Pickering and Brock South and Greenwood Conservation Area located in the Town of Ajax (see
Attachment #2). The site is bounded by Sideline 16 on the west, Greenwood Road on the east,
Highway #7 on the north, and the hydro corridor north of Taunton Road on the south. The site,
which is under the TRCA ownership, covers 675 hectares (1 ,668 acres), is home to a wide range
of environments including mixed forest, open meadows and wetland communities and has three
sensitive watercourses (Spring Creek, Brougham Creek and East Duffins Creek) flowing through
it. Prior to acquisition from the City of Toronto in early 2011, the Brock North and South lands
had undergone significant disturbance, having been used for aggregate extraction until the
1980's and as a solid waste landfill site by the City of Toronto in the late 1970's. The solid waste
was removed from the site in 1997, but the site was never restored.
The GCL Master Plan was generated to protect, conserve and restore the valuable ecological
features and functions of the site, while guiding the current and future public uses of the area.

Various plan components, such as Management Zones and Recommendations, Trail Plans and
Recreation Plans have been included as part of the Master Plan, with the intent that this plan be
implemented over the next 25 years. Active recreation activities will be permitted along the
western edge of the site, which has undergone severe alterations from aggregate extraction and
requires extensive restoration. A Community Park is envisaged to utilize 20 to 22 ha (50 to 55
acres) and a possible 10 ha (25 acre) expansion of the Pickering Museum Village, at the north
end of the site.
It is anticipated that it will take five to seven years to receive the estimated 1. 7 million cubic
·metres of fill that is required to bring the land up to grade. City staff will work TRCA staff to
ensure a landscape master plan is developed forth~ Brock North inland fill area that achieves a
balance between ecological restoration and future recreational facilities. At TRCA's June 24,
2016 Authority Board Meeting, the final GCL MasterPlan was passed (see Attachment #3).
In late 2015, TRCA staffcontacted City staff after they became aware that TRCA might be
subject to the City of Pickering's Fill and Topsoil Disturbance By-Law #6060/02, and not be
exempt. City staff confirmed with TRCA that the City's Fill and Topsoil Disturbance did apply and
a permit would be required for the Brock North Lands site. TRCA advised City staff that in July
2015, filling had begun at the Brock North Lands site, without a permit, and a total of 48,800 m3
was deposited. This volume corresponds to a fill permit tipping fee of $48,800, as the 2015 User
Fee By-law required $1 per cubic metre of deposited material. TRCA agreed to stop work on the
site immediately until the proper approvals were in place.
Following discussions with City staff, TRCA sought permission from the Authority Board, in their
June 24, 2016 report, to request that the City of Pickering waive all fill permit tipping fees and
securities (refundable deposits) related to municipal approval and implementation. Should
Council approve the recommendations of this report, TRCA has agreed to submit a fill permit
application, along with the required fill permit application fee. In addition, TRCA agreed to pay
the tipping fee for the material that was deposited in 2015, resulting in revenue of $48,800,
which has been received.
As TRCA plans to place 1.7 million cubic metres of fill on the Brock North Lands, this would
have resulted in the City receiving $3.4 million dollars of fill permit revenue based on the current
Fees and Charges By-law. The waiving of the fill permit tipping fee will result in the City
foregoing that revenue. However, if the fill permit tipping fee is imposed, TRCA has indicated
that it will not proceed with the project, as it would be cost prohibitive. As detailed in Report ENG
04-13, the City originally anticipated that it would incur costs for land acquisition and
construction of a Community Park within the Brock North Lands. If the recommendations in this
report are approved then the City would obtain the use of the land for recreational purposes, at
no cost, should the City ofT oronto waive the fair market value for all the property entitlements,
interests and permissions for the ancillary uses. In addition, the fill to be placed on the Brock
North Lands will bring them up to a grade and contour suitable for construction of a Community
Park.

Subject: Greenwood .Conservation Lands Master Plan Page.2
.. Discussion: The Greenwood Conservation Lands (GCL) are comprised of
. four parcels of land: Brock North and the Radar Property located in the· City of Pickering
and Brock South and Greenwood Conservation Area located in the Town of Ajax (see
Attachment #1). The site is b.ounded by Sideline 16 on the west, Greenwood Road on
the east, Highway #7 on the north, and the hydro corridor north of Taunton Road on the
south. The site which is under the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority ·
ownership, covers 675 hectares (1 ,668 acres), is home to a wide range of environments
including mixed forest, open meadows and.wetland communities and has three
sensitive watercourses (Spring Creek •. Brougham Creek and East Duffins Creek) flowing
through it. Prior to acquisition from the City of Toronto in early 2011, the Brock North
and South lands had undergone significant disturbance, having been used for
aggregate extraction until the 1980's ~nd as a solid waste landfill site by the City of
Toronto in the late 1970's. The solid waste was removed from the site in 1997, but the
site was never restored. ·
The GCL Master Plan was generated to protect, conserve and restore the valuable
ecological features and functions of the site, while guiding the current and future public
uses of the area. Various plan components, such as Management Zones and
Recommendations, Trail Plans and Recreation Plans have been included as part of the
Master Plan, with the intent that this plan be implemented over the next 25 years.
Public Consultation
The GCL Master Plan was prepared by the TRCA with significant consultation at the
local and regional government level and other stakeholders. The Technical Advisory
Committee, made up of Town of Ajax and City of Pickering staff, worked with TRCA
staff to establish the vision, goals and·objectives, determine the management zones
and recommendations, and develop the trail and public use plans. The Public Advisory
Committee was made up of representatives from Municipal and Regional committees,
user associations and local re.sidents. The Public Advisory Committee's ·responsibility
was to ensure that their respec~ive party was informed throughout the planning process,
to provide input or suggestions from their group, identify issues and provide suggestions
to resolve them. · ·
The public consultation program included meetings with interested organizations and
user groups such as cycling, off-leash dog walking and hiking, to review specific plan·.
components. Newsletters were mailed to the community to share information and
provide updates on the Master Plan process. Two rounds of Public Information
Sessions were held in Ajax and Pickering. The first Public Information Sessions on May
1oth and 1i\ 2012 were to. present the draft plan components and obtain feedback, and
the second PL,Jblic Information Sessions on September 18th and 19th,2012 were to
present the .revised plan components. In general, the public have been very supportive
regarding the development of the Master Plan and its components, and their comments
and suggestions were integrated into the plan where possible.

Subject: Greenwood Conservation Lands Master Plan Page.3
As numerous cultural heritage features have been recorded on site, the First Nations
and Metis communities were contacted and sent several information packages
throughout the process.
Vision and Goals
The vision for the GCL, which is consistent with the vision for the Duffins and Carruthers ,
Creek Watershed Plans, provides ·direction for the future management of th'e property
and encompasses three strategic areas: ·
• support functioning, diverse and self-sustaining communities of native plants, fish
and wildlife
• become a public destination, offering a variety of recreational and cultural ' .
experiences
• facilitate important regional trail linkages and provide connectivity-to surrounding ·
natural heritage systems ·
The. goals th.at have been set in order achieve this vision are as follows:
• protect and restore ecological function and resilience to both aquatic and terrestrial
systems
• create a public destination that offers a variety of recreational and cultural
experiences
• protect and conserve the cultural heritage features for their inherent value and
depiction ofthe long-term human.use and occupancy of the area
Management Zones and Recommendations
As part of the Master Planning process, man_agement zones have been developed to
protect ecological features, focus restoration efforts, and provide public use and trails
where appropriate, and to guide how the property will be managed. The management
zones distinguish varying levels of ecological protection, management needs and
acceptable levels of public use and have been based on a review of the existing natural
and cultural heritage resources of the site.
The management zones have been mapped with consideration for interim measures,
restoration opportunities, passive public use, and ultimately the long term management
zones.
Management recommendations have been provided to guide 'the actions of the TRCA,
its partners and stakeholders, to ensure the Greenwood Conservation Lands remain a
healthy and vital part of the Duffins Creek watershed. Recommendations are provided
under the following categories:

• Cultural Heritage
• Trails
• Public Use Site Securement and Protection
• Community Outreach and Engagement
• Economic Considerations
• Integration
Public Use and Recreation Plan
Public use within the GCL will be permitted in areas that are not environmentally
sensitive .. A wide variety of passive recreational activities will be permitted, including
cycling, hiking,. leashed dog walking, angling, geo~caching, wildlife viewing,
snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
Active recreation activities will be permitted along the western edge of the site which
has undergone severe alterations from aggregate extraction and requires restoration.
Uses being considered within the Brock South lands (located in Ajax) include a bike
park, dog off-leash area, low ropes course, picnic/day use area, and community
gardens. The existing Greenwood Conservation Area, under management agreement
with the Town of Ajax, will continue to function with its current uses.
A Community Park site that could include baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a football
field, a skateboard park, children's play. area, a field house and associated parking is
being considered for the Brock North lands (located in Pickering). The site area
designated for this use is 20 to 22 hectares (50 to 55 acres). This site would also
provide parking and trail heads to the GCL trail system.
Concessions have been made in the. GCL Master Plan to permit the expansion of the
Pickering Museum Village to the west of the current museum site, for a new visitors
centre and for the relocation of historic buildings. The parking area would be shared by
muse.um patrons as well as pa~k users as the north trail head to the GCL trail system is
adjacent to the museum site. There is al$o the opportunity for interpretive signage
and/or displays at the museum visitor centre addressing the cultural heritage of the GCL
site.
Trail Plan
The GCL Trail Plan has been prepared to guide the development and management of
trails, access points, signage and related facilities. The Trail Plan was prepared with
the focus of providing a trail system that has minimal impacts on the natural and cultural
heritage resources. As such, approximately 30 km of the existing 60 km trail system will
be decommissioned and another 11 km of new trails added, to provide a trail network
'· ..

that has connectivity, provides a range of trail experiences and challenges and is
welcoming, safe and accessible for the public to explore. The GCL Trail Plan includes:
• a multi-use trail system approxi'mately 41 km in length
• inter-regional trail connections with the Trans-Canada Trail
• over 8 loop trail options
• connectivity between recreational features of the site with a total of 15 different
access points
Cycling focused areas have been identified in the GCL Master Plan, however trail
routing, difficulty ranking, connectivity to other areas of the property, and sign age will be
developed at ·a later date, to be approved by. the TRCA and forthcoming GCL
Stewardship Committee. Approximately 20-25 km of cycling trails located in three
designated cycling areas are recommended.
Implementation
The GCL Implementation Plan has identified action items for the short, medium and
long-term. These are only general recommendations for implementation as funding will
ultimately determine the schedule. A collaborative approach and cost sharing among
the partners over the long term will be important in implementing the recommendations.
• Short-term recommendations will be completed from 2013-2014, to address the
·immediate safety issues within the property including removal of unsafe structures
on the existing trail system, boundary fenCing and hazard tree assessment and
removal. ·
• Medium-term recommendations will be completed from 2014-2016 and include
·upgrades to the trail system, implementation of the dog off-leash area, planning and
development of two of the mountain biking focused areas, and upgrades to the
Radar trail head parking lot. ·
• Long-term recommendations will be implemented from 2016-2019 and include the
implementation of the third mountain biking focused area and implementation of the
active public use areas in both Brock North and South.
One important recommendation of the GCL Master Plan is to develop a Stewardship
Committee made up of local·and regional interest groups, area residents and
representatives of municipal and regional committees. The Stewardship Committee
would oversee and participate in the implementation of the various plan ,,
recommendations and would assist the TRCA in implementing site development,
maintenance, environmental protection and restoration activities.

BACKGROUND
At Authority Meeting #7/15, held on July 24, 2015, staff presented the Greenwood Conservation
Lands Master Plan. The report was referred to the September 25, 2015 Authority meeting for
more information as follows:
THAT the staff report be referred to the September Authority meeting for a staff· report with
information on possible volumes of fill, clarification of Pickering's plans for recreation
fields, options to close the funding gap, provincial lands purchased for the Highway 407
corridor and clarification on conditions of the original transfer of lands from Toronto and
mechanism for approval of plans and funding contributions as required.· ·
The report addresses these issues as outlined below.
Greenwood Conservation Lands
With the most recent acquisition of the Brock Lands in 2011, adding to the adjacent Greenwood
Conservation Area (GCA) and Rodar property, the area of the amalgamated properties totals 689
hectares (1,704 acres). For the purpose of integrating the planning of all the lands into the master
planning process, the three properties are considered as one large complex called the
Greenwood Conservation Lands ·(GCL) as approved on November 30, 2012 as per Resolution
#A219/12. Located within the Duffins Creek watershed in the Regional. Municipality of Durham,
GCL borders the Town' of Ajax and the City of Pickering. Additio~ally, it is adjacent to Highway 7
.and the Highway 407 ETR East expansion in the north and Taunton Road to the south and is
located between Sideline 16 and Greenwood Road west and east respectively.
17
Item 7.2
City of Toronto Transfer Agreement
The Brock North former lan9fill site is located on the north side of the 5th Concession Road, east
of Brock Road in the City of Pickering. The Brock South site is located on the south side of the
5th Concession Road, east of Brock Road in the Town of Ajax (Attachment 1). These lands were
secured by the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in 1969 as part of a landfill site
selection process. At that time, in order to purchase land for use as.a landfill in another
jurisdiction, the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was required to enter into an
agreement with the Township of Pickering. The required agreement, among other matters,
provided that "on completion of the refuse disposal sites; the land would be turned over to the
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, for recreation purposes."
The then Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto obtained Certificates of Approval from the Ministry
of the Environment for landfill at both Brock North and South. The southwest portion of the Brock
North site was used for landfilling in the la~e 1970's; however, the waste was removed from the
site in 1997. Brock South was never used for waste disposal. Staff reviewed the Remedial Action
Plan and The Closure Plan lmplementation reports, as well as the Ministry of.the Environment
files, and was satisfied thatthere is nothing of any significance in terms of risks associated with
the transfer of property. In the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the City retained the right to
c'ontinue to monitor, pursuant to any certificate of approval.
The lands were subsequently declared surplus by the City of Toronto's Solid Waste Management
Division in 2008 and conVeyed to TRCA for a nominal fee of $2 in 2011. The City of Toronto and
TRCA entered into an agreement related to the use of the property by TRCA. The general terms
ofthe agreement ~re as following: -
1. The property is to remain in the ownership of TRCA.
2. The property ,is to be used by TRCA, Ajax or Pickering or any of their agenCies only for
open space and park purposes inclu<;:ling paths, trails and other passive recreational uses.
3. Any other ancillary uses must be. approved by the City of Toronto and will be conditional
upon a management agreement between TRCA and Pickering. These uses may inciude
an expansion of the Pickering Museum, a district park having a minimum size of 50 acres
serving the entire City of Pickering with facilities such as stadiums, places of assembly
and a variety of active and passive recreational and cultural pursuits including soccer
fields, softball diamonds, baseball diamonds and football fields.
4. If _there are ancillary uses, then the City of Toronto IT!ust receive the fair market value of all
of the entitlements, interestand permissions co.nveyed or granted by TRCA.
5. If there is any sale or other disposition by TRCA for other than an ancillary use approved
by the City of Toronto, then the City of Toronto has the rights to take the property back or
take the profit. The profit is the Fair Market Value of the rights conveyed by TRCA less
TRCA's costs of capital improvements, realty taxes, removal of exiting improvements,
environmental clean-up costs, real estate commission, cost of acquiring, operating and
maintaining the property. ·
The uses proposed in the Greenwood Conservation Lands Master Plan were contemplated at tbe
time that City of Toronto and TRCA negotiated the transfer of the Brock North and South lands,
and were incorporated into the Agreement between the City of Toronto and TRCA. City ofT oronto
staff' has indicated that once TRCA has finalized the Master Plan they would review the plan and
advise if further City approvals are required.

Item 7.2
Brock North Environmental Conditions
The terrestrial landscape and hydrologic function of the Brock North lands have been severely
altered through previous aggregate extraction and landfill operation~. Staff has assessed the site
and identified opportunities to restore hydrological function, unique landforms, and aquatic and
terrestrial habitats. In order to restore the hydrological regime,and natural watershed drainage,
the importation of fill materials is required to replace tbe land overburden and reshape the
topography in altered areas of the site. The revenue generated via tipping fees during fill
placement will provide financii:ll support for 'the phased implementation of the ·Master Plan,
including restoration activities and the recreation plan.
Inland Fill Plan
TRCA staff·has determined that importing approximately a minimum of 1. 7 million cubic metres of
fill is necessary to meet both restoration and revenue goals in the context of a recreational park.
Tipping fee revenue will flow from either public or private partners, such as York Region who has
specifically requested that TRCA reserve fill capacity at Brock North for disposal of excess soils
associated with future infrastructure work. A very successful collaborative agreement between
York Region and TRCA involving the place'ment of 450,000 cubic metres of clean soil at Brock
South was completed in late 2015 as approved at Authority Meeting #6/11, held on June 24, 2011
(Resolution #140/11). · ·
Revenue will also be generated .from private sector fill suppliers through a competitive bidding
process meeting TRCA's Purchasing Policy. In this scenario, a contractor may be awarded a
contract to supply and place a specific quantity of soil within a time frame at a unit cost. The
contractor would also be required to restore and stabilize the site via the establishment of a
natural cover crop._ Past successful inland fill projects have generated tipping· fees in the range
of $3.50 to $6.00 per cubic metre. This would translate into revenue of between $6 million and $10
million dollars based on a ·1.7 million cubic metre fill 'Plan.
Staff estimates that filling would take place over 7 to 12 years depending·on design volumes and
market conditions; however staff would always endeavor to maximize revenues and may delay
filling to do so. A portion of fill revenue or approximately one dollar a cubic metre will be required
to manage the filling operation including the implementation of the TRCA Inland Fill Quality
Assurance Program .. The program includes the pre·:..approval of all fill prior to delivery, followed
by fill tracking, monitoring and laboratory testing. TRCA has achieved excellence in the
management of fill operations and will continue to explore options for strategic land acquisition
that will facilitate ecological restoration and financial sustainability. ·
In addition to the restorati6n of ecolog.ical and hydrological functions, the placement of 1. 7 million
cubic metres. of fill also allows. for the construction of specific active recreational facilities
requested by the City of Pickering. Discussions regarding the future use of the lands have
identified that City of Pickering is interested in utilizing a portion of the fill site measuring
approximately 20 hectares (50 acres) for recreational park facilities, including sports fields.
Additionally, the Pickering Museum has identified a 10 hectare (25 acre) area at the north end of
the site, adjacent to their lands, for possible expansion. In total, Pickering is looking to utilize
approximately 10 percent of the lands within the City of Pickering.
19
Item 7.2
Since the placement of fill will facilitate the development of a recreational facility, it is understood
that a request must be made to Council to waive all fees, charges & securities (refundable
deposits) related to municipal approvals and implementation costs. The City of Pickering and the
Town. of Ajax will also be reque;:;ted enter into a management agreement for areas related to the
permitted ancillary uses. In addition, future discussions with the municipalities will request the
consideration of entering into a long term management agreement for the Greenwood
Conservation Lands located in the City of Pickering and Town of Ajax. Also, TRCA staff will
support The City of Pickering and Town of Ajax with their request to waive the City of Toronto
requirement for payment of fair market value for the property beinQ usedfor ancillary uses.
Highway 407 ETREast Extension ,
As outlined in the November30, 2012.report to the Authority, TRCA E?ntered into an agreement
with the Ministry of Transpo.rtation (MTO) to undertake restoration activities as overall benefit
compensation for redside dace as required by the Endangered Species Act due to construction of
the Highway 40.7 ETR East Extension. A total of eight stream restoration sites within Brock North
will be fully restored by the end of 2017, funded by MTO for a total of ?PProximately $1.8 million.
As part of the Highway 407 ETR East Extension, MTO acquired 1lands for construction and habitat
compensation purposes. It is anticipated that upon construction completion the lands will be
deemed as surplus for the proJect and it may be beneficial for TRCA to explore the acquisition of
strategic parcels, especially in the area of the GCL.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
The estimated cost to implement the GCL Recreation Plan is $3.6 million, while the estimated
cost to undertake full restoration of the site is estimated at $4.3 million. Approximately $95,000
was awarded to TRCA by the Trans Canada Trail for improvements to the Trans Canada Trail
within the Radar Property and Greenwood Conservation Area. Approximately $1.8 million has
bee.n secured for habitat restoration via MTO, and TRCA is working with partners, including the
Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), on additional in-kind restoration works.
Revenues from the Brock South fill deposition site will help fund the restoration and recreation
plans within the Brock South tract. Based on the estimated filling revenue for Brock North, which
also accommodates a recreational complex, an estimated shortfall of $900,000 or revenue of $3.1
million could result for the complete Master Plan implementation. Regardless of the filling
scenario, TRCA will continue to explore traditional and non-traditional sources of funding to
achieve the phased implementation of the Master Plan.

Overall, the 2017 asphalt resurtacing program on various streets, trails and driveways as a whole
has an under expenditure of $414,089.00. However, two of these projects are using internal loan
as a financing source and the under expenditure for these two projects results in a lower borrowed
amount.
The Golf Club Road project was first budgeted in 2015. Additional funding was requested in 2016.
The funds from both years are now combined and carried over to 2017 under the 2015 account
(5320.1517.6250), and as indicated in Table 3 above.
Strouds Lane asphalt resurfacing was originally from Rosebank Road to Foxwood Trail. The
tender came in significantly under budget. In order to maximize the Ontario Community
Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), the project was extended from Foxwood Trail to Amberlea Road.

From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 06-17
Date: April 3, 2017
Subject: Low Income Seniors and Low Income Persons with Disabilities Property
Tax Grant Program
Recommendation:
1. That Report FIN 06-17 of the Director, Finance & Treasurer regarding the Low
Income Seniors and Low Income Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Grant be
received;
2. That the attached By-law, providing for the Low Income Seniors and Low Income
Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Grant be enacted; and
3. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary
· actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: The Low Income Seniors and Low Income Persons with
Disabilities Property Tax Grant is a tool that allows Council to provide a degree of
financial assistance by ensuring that low income seniors and persons with a disability do
not face undue financial hardships. The 2017 grant amount is $200 and this represents
the estimated increase in City Share property taxes from 2014 to 2017. The $200 grant
amount would create a zero increase scenario (City Share only) for property taxes
based on Council's first term. The principles of the program (that are included in the By-
law) are based on the budget discussions and reflected in the Budget report (FIN 04-17)
Recommendation #30. The individual's property tax account will be adjusted to reflect
the grant amount and therefore, no cheque will be issued.
The communication strategy for this program will include the use of the following tools:
website, 2017 Property Tax Brochure and community page.
Financial Implications: The budgetary impact of the recommendation depends on
the number of eligible people who apply. As this is the first year of the program, staff
have conservatively provided a budget estimate of $70,000 that equates to 350 grants.
Namely, the 2017 senior and persons with a disability grant budget amount translates
into 11 grants for every 1 ,000 households. It is anticipated that the grant amount will 71

Disabilities Property Tax
Page2
probably increase for 2018. The communication, verification, and record keeping for the
grant program will be administered by the Taxation Section of the Finance Department.
Discussion: When Current Value Assessment was initially introduced in 1998, the
Province initially mandated that municipalities offer a property tax relief program to low
income seniors and low income persons with a disability to help protect them from
extreme fluctuations that could result from assessment related property tax increases.
The terms of this legislation changed in subsequent revisions and in 2003 the tax relief
was made into a discretionary requirement.
Historically, there has been very little uptake on the Regional Deferral Program, as it is
limited to assessment related tax increases over $100. Many of the applications received
did not qualify, as the $100 threshold had not been met. Furthermore, seniors and
persons with a disability, who were most in need of the tax relief, did not follow through
with the application process, as they did not wish to have the deferral placed as a lien on
their home.
Pickering Solution
Pickering's Council adopted a Notice of Motion on June 27, 2016 requesting the Region
of Durham to review and amend its property tax relief program for low income seniors
and persons with a disability. The Region reviewed Pickering's request, however, at this ·
current time it is not recommending a Region-wide program.
Pickering's solution or property tax relief program follows the model of other lower tier
municipalities who have provided some financial assistance to those seniors and persons
with a disability who are in need.
Pickering's low income seniors program principles are presented below:
• Individual must be 65 years of age or older
• The individual must apply every year
• Only one application per household
• The individual must have lived in Pickering for one year
• The individual must own and occupy the home as their principal residence
• The individual must be in receipt of the Guaranteed Income Supplement or GIS as
provided under the Old Age Security Act (Canada)
Pickering's low income persons with a disability program principles are presented below:
• The individual must apply every year
• Only one application per household
• The individual must have lived in Pickering for one year

Date: April 3, 2017
From: Paul Bigioni
Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor
Subject: Mattamy (Seaton) Limited (Phase I)
Seaton Master Parks Agreement and Seaton Easement Conveyance Agreement
File: SP-2009-13 and L-41 00-004-15
Recommendation:
1. That Report LEG 03-17 respecting the Seaton Master Parks Agreement and Seaton
Easement Conveyance Agreement be received;
2. That the Seaton Master Parks Agreement, substantially in the form included in this Report as
Attachment No. 1, be entered into by the City to govern the provision of parkland within
Seaton, subject to such minor revisions as are satisfactory to the Director, Corporate
Services & City Solicitor;
3. That the Seaton Easement Conveyance Agreement, substantially in the form included in this
Report as Attachment No. 2, be entered into by the City in respect of the Matta my (Seaton)
Limited Phase I subdivision (SP-2009-13), subject to such minor revisions as are satisfactory
to the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor;

management ponds and facilities on Provincial lands, as needed to service other Seaton
subdivisions;
5. That the said Agreements, including all future Easement Conveyance Agreements in
Seaton, be executed by the Mayor and City Clerk; and
6. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as

Executive Summary: The Conditions of Draft Approval for the Seaton subdivisions require a
Master Parks Agreement to be entered into to establish the process for parkland dedication in
accordance with the Planning Act. The Master Parks Agreement included as Attachment No. 1 to
this Report fulfills this requirement, and it has been drawn up to ensure that the City receives from
the Seaton landowners all the parkland contemplated by the Seaton Neighbourhood Plans. Staff
recommend that it be approved.

heritage system lands. The City's Financial Impacts Agreement requires the Province to grant

LEG 03-17 April 3, 2017
Subject: Seaton Master Parks and Seaton Easement Conveyance Agreements Page 2
irrevocable easements to permit the location of the City's storm water management ponds on
Provincial lands, as required for the various Seaton subdivisions. The Easement Conveyance
Agreement included as Attachment No. 2 to this Report has been negotiated by City staff to allow

it be approved for use in the Mattamy (Seaton) Limited subdivision SP-2009-13 and for use as a
template for future subdivisions in Seaton, as required.
Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications associated with this Report.
Discussion:
Master Parks Agreement
On March 25, 2013, the Ontario Municipal Boa~d approved the Neighbourhood Plans for Seaton.
The Neighbourhood Plans show the location of the parks in Seaton. Pursuant to the
Neighbourhood Plans, the landowners within Seaton will provide 55.194 hectares of parkland to
the City.
On December 2, 2013, the Ontario Municipal Board approved the Conditions of Draft Approval for
the Seaton Plans of Subdivision, including Subdivision SP-2009-13. Condition No. 16 specifies
that a Seaton Master Parks Agreement be entered into to establish the requirements and process
for parkland dedication in accordance with the Planning Act for the Seaton neighborhoods. City
staff have negotiated the terms of a Seaton Master Parks Agreement. The basic format of the
Agreement is similar to the City's existing Duffin Heights Master Parks Agreement. The
Agreement contains provisions which ensure that the City receives all the parkland to which it is
entitled, even if there are minor revisions to the area and configuration of any park as the plans of
subdivision are finalized and registered. Staff recommend that the form of Master Parks
Agreement included as Attachment No. 1 to this Report be approved by Council and executed.
Easement Conveyance Agreement
78
The Neighborhood Plans for Seaton also describe the location of the storm water management
ponds necessary for the safe and orderly development of Seaton. Approximately 27 of the storm
water management ponds are located within natural heritage system ("NHS") lands owned by the
Province of Ontario. In 2015, the City approved the Seaton Landowners Group and City of
Pickering Financial Impacts Agreement (Resolution No. 24/15). Pursuant to the Financial Impacts
Agreement, the Province has agreed to grant to the City irrevocable easements in perpetuity to
allow the City's storm water management works to be located within the Province's NHS lands.
City staff have now negotiated a form of Easement Conveyance Agreement for that purpose. The
form of Easement Conveyance Agreement included as Attachment No. 2 to this Report is in
acceptable form, and staff recommend that it be approved by the City and executed. Staff also
recommend that it be used, subject to necessary revisions approved by the Director, Corporate

approximately 4,430 (61 %) are cobra head streetlights and 2,804 (39%) are decorative
street! ig hts.
The analysis showed that by upgrading the City's streetlights to LED, the City would
experience a cost savings of approximately $456,000.00 in annual energy costs and
$235,000.00 in annual maintenance costs for a total savings of approximately
$691 ,000.00 annually. These savings will be directed towards the City's ongoing
operational costs. Also, LED streetlights provide other benefits including increased safety,
enhanced visibility, and reduced light pollution.
Local Authority Services (LAS), a wholly-owned non-profit company of the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), undertakes bulk procurements of a number of
commodities, products and services for AMO's participating constituent municipalities.
Realterm was selected as the service provider for LAS as it has the financial capability to
serve the municipal marketplace. Given that Realterm has considerable knowledge of the
City's streetlight infrastructure and experience in delivering over 160 similar LED
streetlight conversion projects for municipalities across Ontario, staff is recommending
that Council award a single source contract to Realterm for the conversion of the City's
streetlights to LED.

The conversion program includes converting 7,234 streetlight luminaires to energy
efficient LED streetlight luminaires. Funds have also been allocated to cover the cost of ·
replacing 24 wooden poles within the Bay Ridges and West Shore Neighbourhoods.
There are also poles that require rewiring and associated underground directional drilling,
grounding rods installation, and landscape restoration work prior to the installation of the
LED luminaires. The total project cost for the conversion is $6,773,782.00 (including HST),
and the total net project cost is estimated at $6,100,000.00 (net of HSTrebate).
With respect to the Whitevale Heritage District, it is recommended that the Whitevale and
District Residents' Association be consulted on the selection of a luminaire that best
reflects the historical character of the village prior to initiating any lurriinaire
replacement. Staff will report back with the preferred LED luminaire and associated
costs as part of the 2018 Capital Budget review process.
As part of the City's commitment to keep the community informed, staff will provide
regular progress updates of the LED Streetlight Conversion Program on the City website
and social media.

LED streetlights have a product warranty of 10 years and typically last up to
100,000 hours (over 20 years in service), which will result in significant replacement
savings. Currently, there are monetary incentives offered by the Independent Electricity
System Operator (IESO) for streetlight conversions; The incentives are regulated
by IESO and are typically provided through local utilities. Through discussions with
Veridian, the City is eligible to receive an incentive amount of approximately
$500,000.00 which would be received after project completion. This amount is
being used to offset the costs associated with repairing and/or replacing the poles
within Bay Ridges and West Shore neighbourhoods. If the incentive amount is
greater than $500,000.00, the additional funds will flow into general revenues to
help fund the replacement of the pedestrian light fixtures along the Millennium
Square Boardwalk in 2018.

Di$cussion:
a) LAS, AMO and Realterm Explanation
Local Authority Services (LAS) is a wholly-owned nonprofit company of the Association
of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) that undertakes bulk procurements of a number of
commodities, products and services for AMO's participating constituent municipalities.
LAS also offers a complete turnkey LED streetlight service to municipalities as LED
technology is considered reliable, superior and cost effective. Realterm was selected as
the service provider by LAS as it has the financial capability to serve the municipal
marketplace. Since 2013, Realterm has installed more than 150,000 luminaires in over
160 municipalities, including the City of Barrie .and more recently the City of Oshawa.
b) City's Purchasing 'Policy
Staff have developed a good working relationship with Realterm during the Audit
process. This sentiment was also shared by other municipalities who have used
Realterm for their LED streetlight conversion project. Given that Realterm has
considerable knowledge of the City's streetlight infrastructure and experience in
delivering over 160 municipal LED streetlight conversion projects across Ontario, it is
beneficial to continue working with Realterm. In accordance with Section 09 of the
Purchasing Policy, staff is recommending that Council award a single source contract to
Realterm for the conversion of the City's streetlights to LED in lieu of going through the
competitive bid process.
c) LED Streetlight Conversion Exceptions
Notwithstanding the City's intent to convert roadway streetlighting to LED, there are
approximately 300 existing luminaires that will remain HPS. These luminaires include
regional roadway reconstruction sites where the streetlighting ownership has not yet
been transferred to the City, such as:
• Kingston Road at Brock Road
• Kingston Road at Liverpool Road
Brock Road north of Whitevale Road/Fifth Concession
There are other streetlights along roads within Pickering that are not part of the conversion
program. For example, the roadway lighting along certain sections of Brock Road
(Duffin Heights Neighbourhood) and Dixie Road (Liverpool Neighbourhood) is already
LED. The HPS streetlights that are along Highway 7 and Brock Road By-pass are not
part of the City's conversion program. These lights are the responsibility of the Ministry
of Transportation (MTO). MTO has been advised that any future installations should
reflect the City's LED standard.
PLN 05-17 April 3, 2017
Subject: LED Streetlight Conversion Program Page 8
Whitevale contains a mix of lighting luminaires along the roadways. It is recommended
that staff consult with the Whitevale and District Residents' Association to select a
luminaire that best reflects the character of the Heritage Conservation District. Staff
will report back with the preferred LED luminaire and associated costs as part of the
2018 Capital Budget review process.
d) Streetlight Pole Assessment Results
Realterm recommended that the City not have new LED luminaires installed on aged
wooden poles, but that Realterm supply the luminaires only and install them at a
later date when the poles are replaced. Of the 625 poles assessea within the Bay
Ridges and West Shore Neighbourhoods, only 24 wooden streetlight poles require
replacement. However, there are other poles that require rewiring and associated
underground directional drilling, grounding rods installation, and landscape restoration
work.
In the 2017 Budget, $500,000.00 was allocated to cover the cost for additional poles,
arm replacements, trenching, etc., to address the deficiencies. Replacement poles will
be installed with new LED luminaires. There are also wooden Veridian hydro poles that
support the City's streetlights requiring replacement. However, these hydro poles are
owned by Veridian. Information on the condition of hydro poles has been forwarded to
Veridian for their consideration.
e) High Tension Hydro Wires
The Realterm Audit also included a general cursory wiring inspection to identify any
potential difficulties where the luminaires are located near high tension hydro wires.
Realterm has recommended that each location be assessed with the goal of relocating
the affected luminaire to a safe location. Staff agrees and has recommended that the
project budget be increased by $100,000.00 to be funded from the Federal Gas Tax
Reserve. These funds will be used to engage the services of an engineer to assess
these locations and advise on a course of action.
f) Next Steps
Subject to Council approval and various agreements being executed, Realterm will
order the required luminaires and begin to replace the existing HPS streetlight
luminaires with energy efficient LED lighting. Regular updates will be provided on the
project page of the City's website and Customer Care staff will be providing key
messages as the streetlight luminaires are replaced throughout the City. Realterm has
included a performance guarantee ensuring the LED streetlight conversion program is
completed by the end of this calendar year.

Dear Mr. McGregor,
We are pleased to present to you this revised Investment Grade Audit of your streetlight network.
We have concluded our detailed analysis of your.street lighting system by revising the an.nual energy consumption
and savings estimates for the City of Pickering to reflect the proposed upgrade to LED based on the GIS/GPS
mapping. The street lighting network subject to upgrade is currently consuming 5,476,073 kWh. By upgrading to
LEDs, your projected annual energy consumption will fall substant ially to 2,039,308 kWh resulting in 3,436,765 kWh
energy savings, ~quivalent to 63% consumption reduction.
The main body of thi!! report will focus on the upgrade of yo1,1r whole Lighting System to LED, including Cobrahead
and Decorative Fixtures. In addition to that, we have included project-specific results in the following Appendices:
-Appendix A: Upgrade of Cobra head Fixtures Only
-Appendix B: Separate Costs to Upgrade Decorative Fixtures Only
-Appendix C: Pole Assessment Results
Appendix D: Wiring Condition Report
This revision presents the results of lighting design plans that specify a colour temperature (CCT) of 3000K for
Cobraheads on local roads, while all other road types will receive 4000K CCT fixtures, including all Decorative
fixtures. The total project cost, in comparison to the desktop proposal presented in December 2015,' has increased
to $5.,172,223 as we found during the Audit that 39% of the fixtures assumed to be Cobra head ar~ in fact
Decorative fixtures . .The Desktop Proposal was created assuming that the 100% was composed by Cobrahead
fixtures only. Details of this work discrepancy are highlighted throughout the report. The IESO incentive is, at
present, estimated to be $500,000 and will be subject to variations at the discretion of the local utility. Finally, all
costs associated to prepare this Investment Grade Audit are covered in the project cost of $5,172,223.
We look forward to moving the project to the next phase. We will arrange for a meeting in approximately one
weeks time discuss the contents of 1his report, but until then please feel free to contact us shoul_d you have any
questions.
