TREASURER'S REPORT TO THE PICKERING-
WHITBY 3OINT ANIMAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
ITEM 1-02
February 6, 2002
Subject:
Animal Services
Recommendation:
That the Pickering-Ajax-Whitby .Joint Animal Control Committee
endorse the service improvement recommendations set out in
Treasurer's Report, Item 1-02; and,
That the service improvement recommendations be submitted to the
Councils of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby for their approval.
Oriqin:
At the request of the Pickering- Ajax- Whitby_]oint Animal Control Committee
(PAW), animal services staff have completed a comprehensive review of the
animal care and control services provided to the citizens of the three
municipalities.
The goal of the review was to identify possible areas where service
improvements are possible in keeping with PAW's mandate of providing
animal services that represent the highest quality and most effective delivery
possible within the resources that are available.
While the review was comprehensive in nature, particular attention was given
to finding improved ways of,
promoting and developing responsible pet ownership; and,
adopting out as many homeless animals as possible.
Analysis:
The following service improvement recommendations are offered for the
consideration and endorsement of the Pickering-Ajax-Whitby _Joint Animal
Control Committee.
Recommendation No. i - Business Name
That the Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Control Centre be re-named the
Pickering-Ajax-Whitby Animal Services Centre.
The name change better reflects the fundamental basis of PAW's mandate,
that being to provide quality, cost effective animal services to the citizens of
Ajax, Picketing and Whitby.
Recommendation No. 2 - Business Uniform
That, in keeping with the business name change and in an effort to project
a more customer service oriented image, the "law enforcement uniform"
style of clothing currently worn by the animal services staff be phased out
and be replaced with a "business casual" style of outfit.
/.TTACH~4Ex-- _?__ ;-(L REPOR-i'-¢¢
Treasurer's Re op___0_~ :Item 1-02_~Continued)
Recommendation No. 3 - Customer Service Traininq and Development
That the animal services staff be enrolled in a customer service training
program customized to equip them with the particular skills required for them
to provide quality animal care and control services.
The program would cover a broad spectrum of training and development
initiatives including,
relationship building skills
behavioural modification
conflict resolution
team building
anger management skills
effective communication
active listening skills
change management
interpersonal skills
Recommendation No. 4 - Animal Services Website
That PAW design and implement an animal services website to better
promote and publicize the animal services available to the citizens of Ajax,
Picketing and Whitby.
The site would be linked to the local municipal websites. :It would provide
detailed information about the many services provided by PAW. The website
would also offer help and assistance in locating lost pets and adopting
homeless pets. Particular emphasis would be placed on educating the public
about the importance of responsible pet ownership including pet registration,
spaying and neutering, and vaccination. :Information would be made
available on how to handle animal and wildlife nuisances and what to do
should you lose your pet or find a stray pet.
Considering the popularity of home computers, the animal services website
would undoubtably become an invaluable communication tool to publicize
and access animal services provided by PAW.
Recommendation No. 5 - Advertisin~ram
That an advertising program be developed with the assistance of the local
news media to better promote the importance of responsible pet ownership,
publicize the plight of homeless pets, find good loving homes for unwanted
pets and seek the public's assistance in combating pet overpopulation.
Recommendation No. 6 - Working Relationships with other Animal
Agencies
That animal services staff explore new ways and means of improving
communications and working with local pet fanciers such as veterinarians,
pet stores, area animal shelters, rescue groups, etc., to find good loving
homes for homeless pets and to promote responsible pet ownership.
PAW's goal is to reduce pet overpopulation through public education and to
adopt out as many healthy homeless pets as possible.
~ ~ :?T~CH~~I~ : J '!'O REPORT# ~- /A~2_
Treasurer's Report, Item 1-02 (Continued)
Recommendation No. 7 - Adoption Reqistry
That a registry of prospective pet owners be established.
Often a person is looking for a specific type of pet to adopt, a specific breed,
a certain disposition, an approximate age, etc.. :If the Animal Services Centre
does not have a pet that meets the requirements, the person's name and pet
particulars would be noted in the pet adoption registry and they would be
contacted when a homeless pet meeting their requirements became
available. The registry would help PAW place just the right pet in just the
right home.
Recommendation No. 8 - Pet Foster Program
That PAW establish a pet foster program to increase the chances that
animals which come to the Animal Services Centre find good homes.
Animals that come to the Services Centre are often too young, need further
socialization or have a treatable illness requiring special attention which
prevents them from being adoption candidates. However, they would have
an excellent chance for adoption once they were older or healthy again. The
need is especially great during the Spring/Summer season, when pregnant
cats and mothers with litters of kittens are dropped off at the Centre. Until
the kittens are old enough to be weaned, and separated from the mother,
they cannot be put up for adoption. Foster parents provide a safe
environment for the animals to mature, become more socialized or heal from
a wound or illness. Once the animal is suitable for adoption, the animal is
returned to the Centre to await adoption into a new home.
Recommendation No. 9 - Volunteer Program
That people having a sense of love and commitment for their pets be
encouraged to volunteer their time to help find homes for animals, unite lost
pets with their owners and help prevent the overpopulation of animals by
assisting with PAW's public education program.
Volunteers would be recruited to help PAW achieve its objective of finding a
good home for every adoptable animal taken in. Also, volunteers would be
used to help spread the word about the importance of responsible pet
ownership by making presentations to local schools, civic organizations and
organized groups. Times would be coordinated depending upon the needs
of the group or organization and the availability of staff and volunteers.
Volunteers would also assist with the handling and exercising of animals
housed at the Centre. They would also help with pet grooming and bathing.
Recommendation No. 10 - Lifetime Pet Reqistration
That, following Whitby's lead, Ajax and Pickering introduce lifetime cat and
dog registration.
The goal of PAW is to register every cat and dog so that lost pets can be
reunited quickly with their owners.
Whitby has more than quadrupled the number of animals registered since
introducing a lifetime pet identification tag.
Treasurer's Re o~~m 1-02.(.Continued)
Recommendation No. 11 - Nuisance Wildlife
That in order to allow animal services staff to put more time and effort into
the care and wellbeing of distressed and injured animals, PAW limit wildlife
response to those emergencies involving,
wildlife in the living area of a residence or the occupied area of a
business
wildlife that has had physica contact with a person or domestic
animal, potentially exposing the person or animal to rabies
wildlife that is displaying signs or symptoms of rabies
wildlife that poses a threat to humans or domestic animals
wildlife that is sick or injured
PAW would no longer respond to situations or provide humane traps where
the complainant considers wildlife a nuisance but where no real threat to
humans or domestic animals exists. These would include the following,
wild animals living under decks, storage sheds, porches and the tike
(typically groundhogs, skunks and raccoons)
wild animals inhabiting or frequenting populated areas (typically
squirrels, deer, foxes, raccoons, skunks, wolves and coyotes)
wild animals in attics, basements, garages and storage sheds
(typically squirrels, raccoons, bats and snakes)
damage to lawns, gardens, flower beds, ornamental shrubs (typically
rabbits, squirrels, deer, groundhogs and raccoons)
There are a number of private pest control agencies listed in the telephone
directory that offer professional assistance with nuisance wildlife.
Conclusions:
The service improvements proposed in this report are in keeping with PAW's
mandate of providing animal care and control services that represent the
highest quality and most effective delivery possible within the resources that
are available.
The recommended service improvements will go a long way in promoting
responsible pet ownership, improving the quality of animal care and reducing
the number of homeless animals that are destroyed.
Staff will keep the PAW Committee updated on the status and success of the
service improvements initiatives.

Report to Council CL10-02
Subject: Increased Lottery Licence Fees
Date: April 2, 2002
Page 2
Staff met with the three Executive members of the Mayfair Bingo Association on February 21,
2002 to discuss the City's need to increase our lottery licensing fees in an effort to recover
administrative costs and to provide a more equitable formula for collecting licencing fees.
Discussions concluded with an agreement by all parties for a .75% per event fee. The Executive
members agreed to present this offer to their Association membership at its meeting of March 20,
2002. Based on approximately 1716 bingo events per year, the licencing revenue for the City
would be approximately $70,000. The current licencing fees for bingos is approximately
S20.000. Although this proposed rate of .75% is less than the 1%, which was originally
presented to Council in the Clerk's Report CL51-01, it is a rate that offers a fair compromise.
In addition to meeting with the Association, staff also discussed the proposed .75% fee with the
Manager of Delta Bingo.
Appendix B to this report is a letter of acceptance from the Mayfair Bingo Association. The
Association accepts this new fee proposal of .75% per bingo event, which results in an increase
in licencing fees, with the condition of a five-year moratorium on any further increases.
Although we recognize that such a commitment may not be guaranteed with a future Council,
staff agrees with this request in principal.
Based on the foregoing, I would strongly recommend that Council enact the new by-law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The draft by-law attached to this Report replaces the existing Schedule "A" to By-law 44/74 to
increase Lottery Licencing Fees in to maximum allowable as regulated by the Gaming Control
Commission. For Bingo events conducted as a series, the draft by-law allows for phasing in the
fee increase over a three year period.
Report to Council CL51-01 Date: December 3, 2001
Subject: Increase Lottery Licencing Fees Page 2
?5
BACKGROUND:
('ouncil passed By-law Number 44,'74 on April 22, 1974 to licence lotteries. Schedule "A" of
`this by-law established tile ticence fees for licenced lotteu' events. On February 3, 1992 Council
passed by-law 3929/92 which amended by-law 44/74 by replacing Schedule "A" with a now
Schedule which increased the licence fees.
Effective October 27, 1993, Section 23 of the Order-in-Council 2688-93 increased tile maximum
allowable licence fees. By-law 44/74 was never amended to reflect this allowable increase.
To properly administer and manage lottery licencing activities it takes approximately two full-
time staff members. The bulk of the work is directly related to tile bingo licences which are
issued to tile 36 charitable organizations who run bingos out of the Delta Bingo ttall. In total,
approximately 1716 bingo events are held at the ttall in a year.
Our current ticencing fee structure for "a series of bingo events" is 3% of the prize board for thc
first event plus $5 [br each additional event licenced on the same licence. The majority of thc
liccnces arc tbr 26 events (ie. $165 + $125 tbr a total of $290). The maximum licence tee as
regulated by the Gaming Control Commission is 3°0 per event. Based on a 26-event licence, this
would translate to a $4,290 ticence fee. Several municipalities wifl~in the GTA were contacted
and confirmed that they charge the full 3°~o per event. The average receipts per organization per
month is approximately $2,000.
Staff met with the Manager of Detla Bingo ttal] to discuss the need for tile City to review the
current licence fee structure. Although the Manager was not pleased 'to hear of a possible tee
increase, she did acknowledge that our tee structure was unusually low compared to other
municipalities. The Manager also noted that tile increased licence fees would directly impact her
business, and as such, may necessitate cancellino= tile 9'~;¢ a.m. and _g :30 p.m. time slots.
Our existing fee structure does not enable the City to adequately I'tllld t}le service. An increase in
fees is required. Recognizing that it is charitable organizations who are required to pay this
licence fee, it would be appropriate for the City to implement thc increase over three years (ie.
1% per each event in 2002, 2% in 2003 and 3~'i, in 2004 and beyond).
Based on `the foregoing, I would strongly recommend that Council enact the new by-law.
