Councillor Robinson stated that in accordance with Section 5 of the Municipal

J. Abrams, Co-Principal, Principles Integrity, appeared before Council via electronic
connection to provide opening remarks on the Recommendation Report Regarding
Complaint Against Councillor Lisa Robinson, October 20, 2025. J. Abrams provided
a high-level overview of the complaint as outlined in the Report and reminded
Council that this was a disciplinary matter and they should base their decision on
how the recommendation fit against the findings of the Report.
Discussion and a question and answer period ensued between Members of Council
and J. Abrams regarding:
whether the Municipal Act prohibited a Member of Council from commenting
on evidence contained in an Integrity Commissioner’s recommendation report;
•
whether there was evidence that funds were personally received by Councillor
Robinson;
•
whether the Integrity Commissioner’s recommendation was based on
substantiated evidence or speculation;
•
how a GoFundMe model qualified as a “single source,” and whether judicial
reviews or provisions in the Municipal Act supported the Integrity
Commissioner’s interpretation of “single source";
•
whether it was permissible to sanction a councillor more than once for the
same matter;
•
how fairness was ensured when the Integrity Commissioner was compensated
by the City;
•
whether an individual or elected official should be permitted to defend
themselves in a public court;
•
whether the Integrity Commissioner interviewed the individual who managed
the GoFundMe campaign;
•
whether Councillor Robinson at any time had denied receiving the funds;•
links on Councillor Robinson’s social media and other platforms soliciting
funds;
•
concerns regarding the Integrity Commissioner process, including the
interpretation of “single source,” and concerns that the recommendation was
based on speculation rather than verified facts; and,

WHEREAS, the Shadybrook Pickleball Courts are located in close proximity to
abutting residential properties;
And Whereas, due to the frequency and volume of noise arising from pickleball play,
the quality of life of these residents has been negatively impacted;
And Whereas, municipalities across Canada have begun restricting or banning
pickleball courts in residential areas due to excessive noise and the negative impact

on family’s quiet enjoyment of their homes;
And Whereas, the Recreation & Parks Ten Year Plan (2024-2034) recommends
that the potential for noise impacts on adjacent properties be considered when
determining new court locations and recommends that guidelines, as those set out
in the Pickleball BC court guidelines, recommending setback of 50 metres for a two
court complex and up to 115 metres depending on the number of courts and noise
attenuation measures be considered;
And Whereas, it has become evident that the current location of the Shadybrook
Pickleball Courts in relation to abutting residential properties are not suitable for
continued use due to noise levels in excess of 50 dBAI;
And Whereas, in an effort to reduce the noise impact caused by the Shadybrook
Pickleball Courts, City Staff have committed to reducing the play area from four to
two courts along with the installation of noise reduction panels;
And Whereas, the City of Pickering has a licence agreement with the Pickering
Pickleball Club (Resolution #435/24) requiring six months’ notice for the termination
of the agreement for the pickleball courts at Shadybrook Park;
And Whereas, the City of Pickering remains committed to providing an alternate
suitable outdoor location for dedicated pickleball courts that will enable the
relocation of the Pickering Pickleball Club activities;
And Whereas, the City of Pickering has funds approved in the 2025 Budget for the
construction of 6 outdoor Pickleball Courts in Diana, Princess of Wales Park;
Now therefore, be it resolved that the Council of The Corporation of the City of
Pickering directs through the Office of the CAO:
That, in accordance with the licence agreement with the Pickering Pickleball
Club, staff be directed to provide the Pickering Pickleball Club with six months’
notice for the termination of the licence agreement for pickleball courts at
Shadybrook Park no later than April 1, 2025; and,
1.
That during the notice period, the following steps be taken to mitigate
the ongoing noise and disruption at Shadybrook Park:
The number of pickleball courts will be reduced from four to two by
taking the two eastern pickleball courts out of play, to minimize noise
levels.
a.
The two eastern pickleball courts will be painted over and repurposed for
stretching and non-impact activities only. No pickleball play or practice
will be permitted on these surfaces.
b.
Noise reduction panels will be installed on two to three sides of the
enclosure to reduce noise impact on residents as soon as possible, and
the panels, upon completion of the notice period
may be removed and may be reused at another location.

2026 User Fees
S. Karwowski, Director of Finance & Treasurer, appeared before the Committee via
electronic connection and stated that the 2026 user fees reflected a general
increase of 2.75% to 3%. S. Karwowski noted that the fees did not account for the
recovery of capital costs, but rather covered only variable and operating costs and
that the increase was considered moderate.
A question and answer period ensued between Members of the Committee and
staff regarding:
whether there were separate rates for residents and non-residents, and if
those rates were competitive with other Durham municipalities;
•
the current rate of inflation and whether any proposed increases to the user
fees exceeded that rate;
•
providing Council with the percentage of increase for all of the 2026 user
fees;
•
clarification regarding an administrative fee under Legal Services to be
charged at the direction of the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor
and why Council had no record of the fee amount and the rationale for it being
set at the discretion of the Director;

under Legal Services was charged, and whether the fee applied to
developers, residents, or both;

Report Number: BYL 02-25
Date: November 24, 2025
From: Paul Bigioni
Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor
Subject: Amendment to Vehicle for Hire By-law and Repeal of Accessible Service
Supplement Fees
File: L-2200-002-25
Recommendation:
1.That Report BYL 02-25 regarding amendments to the Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 be
received;
2.That the attached amendment to the Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 (Attachment 1) be
enacted to increase access to accessible taxicab services;
3.That the draft amendments to the Fees and Charges By-law (Attachment 2) be enacted
to repeal the Accessible Service Supplement; and
4.That appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the actions necessary to
implement the recommendations in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to request that Council amend the
Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 to allow individuals better access to accessible taxicab
services.
Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 prohibits taxicabs that are not licensed in Pickering from
picking up fares in Pickering. The attached amendments will, if enacted, remove that
prohibition as it applies to accessible taxicab services. This will increase the availability of
accessible taxicab services in Pickering.
Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 also contains an Accessible Service Supplement, which is a
fee payable by all vehicle for hire license holders who do not provide accessible transportation
services. The attached amendments will, if enacted, repeal the Accessible Service
Supplement. This will permanently remove a financial burden from the already struggling
taxicab industry. The Accessible Service Supplement was originally intended as an incentive to
licencees to provide accessible service. It is no longer necessary, given the proposed
amendments to Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20.
In early 2024, the Region of Durham and the Durham lower-tier municipalities created an
Accessible Taxicab Working Group (Working Group). The Working Group was tasked with
finding ways to increase accessible taxicab services across the entire Region. The Working
Group conducted a Region-wide public consultation (Attachment 3). The Working Group
identified a shortage of accessible taxicabs throughout the Region. To address this problem,
the Working Group proposed that all Durham municipalities amend their existing by-laws to
- 40 -
BYL 02-25 November 24, 2025
Page 2
allow accessible service providers licensed in any Durham municipality to provide passenger
service in all Durham municipalities.
The solution proposed by the Working Group was supported by Pickering’s Accessibility
Advisory Committee. The attached amendments to Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 will, if
enacted, implement the proposal of the Working Group within Pickering. It is intended that all
the other Durham municipalities will enact similar by-law amendments so that the availability of
accessible taxicabs is increased across all of Durham Region.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe &
Healthy Community.
Financial Implications: The Accessible Service Supplement has never been included in the
City’s Budget, so its repeal will have no budgetary impact. Repealing the Accessible Service
Supplement and enabling accessible taxicabs to operate Region-wide may modestly increase
City revenue by making accessible taxicab service more commercially viable for Pickering
licensees.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to request that Council amend the Vehicle for Hire
By-law 7739/20 to allow individuals better access to accessible taxicab services.Specifically,
staff recommend an amendment to Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 to allow accessible
taxicabs licensed in any Durham municipality to pick up fares in Pickering. Staff also
recommend the repeal of the Accessible Service Supplement.
The Accessible Service Supplement is a fee payable by all vehicle for hire license holders who
do not provide accessible transportation services. Repealing the Accessible Service
Supplement will permanently remove a financial burden from the already struggling taxicab
industry. The Accessible Service Supplement was originally intended as an incentive to
licencees to provide accessible service. It is no longer necessary, given that the proposed
amendments to Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 should increase the availability of accessible
taxicab services in Pickering.
Regional Accessible Taxicab Working Group
In early 2024, the Region of Durham and the Durham lower-tier municipalities created an
Accessible Taxicab Working Group. The Working Group was tasked with finding ways to
increase accessible taxicab services across the entire Region. The Working Group conducted
a Region-wide public consultation (Attachment 3) which was funded by the Region. The
Working Group identified a shortage of accessible taxicabs throughout the Region. To address
this problem, the Working Group proposed that all Durham municipalities amend their existing
by-laws to allow accessible service providers licensed in any Durham municipality to provide
passenger service in all Durham municipalities.

Accessibility Advisory Committee Consultation
Under the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation O.Reg. 191/11, Section 79,
municipalities have a duty to consult with their Accessibility Advisory Committee to determine
the needs related to on-demand accessible taxicab service. Consistent with this regulatory
requirement, the City’s Accessibility Coordinator and the Division Head, Municipal Law
Enforcement Services were both involved in discussions related to the proposal of the
Regional Accessible Taxicab Working Group and the amendment of Vehicle for Hire By-law
7739/20.
Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 Staff propose the following amendment to Section 92 of the
Vehicle for Hire By-law by adding:
No provision in this By-law shall restrict, limit, or prevent the owners and drivers
of any lower-tier licensed accessible taxicab from engaging in conveyances
within any of the eight (8) Durham Region municipalities when the purpose of the
conveyance is to transport persons with a disability as defined in the Accessibility
for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 S.O. 2005, Chapter 11.
Staff further propose the repeal of the Accessible Service Supplement from By-law 7739/20.
This will be accomplished by repealing the following:
1)Definition of “accessible service supplement”;
2)Section 47;
3)Section 93 a) and b);
4)Section 96 (j);
5)Section 138 (2);
6)The following fees in Schedule 1 of By-law 7739/20 and Schedule “I” of Fees and
Charges By-law 6191/03, as amended:
Accessible Service Supplement:
Taxicab Plate License (annually) $75.00
Brokerage (annually) $2,500.00
PTC (payable quarterly, per transportation service) 7 cents.
The attached amendments to By-law 7739/20 are recommended by staff to permit cross-
jurisdictional transportation specifically for licensed accessible vehicles. This to better serve
individuals with both disabilities and diverse abilities, regardless of the trip’s starting location
within Durham Region. Currently, Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20 does not permit licensed
accessible taxicabs to cross municipal boundaries to pick up a fare. This creates limiting
barriers for people with disabilities - especially those who require cross-boundary
transportation originating in a municipality with limited or no access to physically accessible
taxicabs.
The proposed amendment seeks to address this limitation by allowing licensed accessible
taxicabs to operate within the boundaries of all eight municipalities in Durham Region. This will
only be allowed when the purpose of the conveyance is to transport people with disabilities
who require a physically assistive and accessible vehicle. This provision will ensure continuity
across the Region and barrier-free transportation options for all persons with disabilities.
- 42 -
BYL 02-25 November 24, 2025
Page 4
By allowing licensees to pick up fares across Durham Region, the proposed amendments may
make it more financially viable for taxi companies to operate one or more licensed accessible
vehicle(s). Additionally, individual taxicab plate licensees may be more willing to invest in an
accessible vehicle if they can use it to provide service outside of the limits of the City of
Pickering. This potential for increased service availability benefits both operators and users.
Consultation and Input
A Region-wide Accessible Taxi Survey was launched by the Regional Accessible Taxicab
Working Group in Fall 2024. The survey received 148 responses. The results are summarized
in Attachment 3 to this report. Notable highlights include:
•58% of respondents do or would use accessible taxi service, if available.
•79% of respondents indicated that they were not able to access or book an
accessible vehicle when needed.
•The majority of respondents indicated that accessible taxi service was primarily
required to access health and medical appointments, employment/volunteer
opportunities, or personal errands (e.g. groceries, prescription pick-up).
•The top challenge identified with accessible taxis was that a physically accessible
vehicle was not available at the time pick up was requested/too few accessible taxis
were on the road.
Effective communication will be essential to ensure that residents and taxicab operators are
aware of the proposed amendments, should they be adopted. This includes how they will
impact private transportation services in the City and across the Region. A communication plan
will be developed collaboratively by the lower-tier municipalities for educating taxicab operators
and customers about the availability of new cross-boundary accessible taxicab service.
Conclusion
Amending the Vehicle for Hire By-law to permit licensed accessible taxicabs to provide service
across Durham Region is an important step towards improving transportation accessibility for
people with disabilities. This action supports accessible and inclusive mobility for all residents.
It will assist in ensuring that all residents, regardless of their physical, emotional, or mental
abilities, have equitable access to transportation options within the Durham Region. By
fostering greater accessibility and removing barriers to cross-municipal transportation, the City
is supporting its commitment to social inclusion and quality of life for its residents in
accordance with its Corporate Priorities. This change will provide residents with greater
flexibility to travel independently within the Region, ensuring more equitable access to
essential services.
Since the enactment of Vehicle for Hire By-law 7739/20, Council has deferred implementation
of the Accessible Service Supplement year over year. The permanent removal of the
Accessible Service Supplement will eliminate one financial burden from taxicab licencees at a
time when their industry continues to suffer. The Accessible Service Supplement is no longer
required as a means of supporting accessible taxicab service, and its repeal will have no
budgetary impact.

Recommendation:
1.That Report CAO 18-25 regarding the City Property Naming of the Pickering Public
Library branch at the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre be received;
2.That Council approve the Pickering Public Library branch at the Dorsay Community &Heritage Centre to be named the Greenwood Heritage Library Branch; and
3.That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessaryactions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval to name the Pickering Public Library branch at the future Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre (DCHC) as
the Greenwood Heritage Library Branch.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities to Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe & Healthy Community; and Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community.
Financial Implications: None.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval to name the Pickering Public Library branch at DCHC as the Greenwood Heritage Library Branch.
1. The Library at DCHC
The Pickering Public Library will open its fourth branch in DCHC in spring 2026. This 44,000
square foot multi-use facility will offer year-round access to culture and recreation programming and services provided by the City of Pickering, Pickering Museum Village, and the Pickering Public Library.
The 3,200 square foot library branch has been creatively designed to maximize functional space in a corridor that offers visitors beautiful views of the natural environment. The branch
- 54 -
CAO 18-25 November 24, 2025
Page 2
will also feature the Local History Experience Centre, which will replace the Local History Room at the Central Library. This unique branch will offer spaces, events, collections and experiences that connect visitors to themes such as nature, sustainability, local history, and storytelling.
2.The Community of Greenwood
DCHC is located in the community of Greenwood, an area of Pickering rich in local history. The name Greenwood dates back to 1852 when the community of Norwood was renamed after local mill owner, Frederick Green.
A library branch operated in the historic Greenwood Schoolhouse from 1980 until 2015.
The Greenwood Heritage Library Branch pays tribute to the original Greenwood Library while
also providing a refreshed and unique identity. It also highlights the local history focus of this branch and the Pickering Museum Village.
3. Compliance with the City Naming Procedure (ADM 110-006) has been met
In compliance with Section 02.01, Section 05.01b and Section 05.01e of the City Naming
Procedure (ADM 110-006), a geographical name was selected that is clear, descriptive and references the community in which the library is located.
Therefore, consistent with the Procedure and in consideration of the endorsement by the Pickering Public Library Board, staff seek Council’s approval to name the Pickering Public
Library branch at the future DCHC as the Greenwood Heritage Library Branch.

the following;
•executed a 4% MAT, effective June 1, 2025;
•formalized and executed an agreement between the City of Pickering and the Ontario
Restaurant Hotel & Motel Association (ORHMA) for the collection of MAT revenues;
•received and acted upon the consent from the Regional Municipality of Durham to
incorporate a Municipal Services Corporation (MSC) named Destination Pickering Inc.
(Destination Pickering);
•negotiated a service level agreement between the City of Pickering and Destination

•created the Organizational By-law for Destination Pickering (see Organizational By-law
No.1, Attachment 1); and
•identified three industry stakeholders to strengthen insights for the Board of Directors.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to
the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority to Champion Economic Leadership & Innovation.
Financial Implications: Collection of the MAT commenced on June 1, 2025, and remittances
for June up to and including September have been successfully received by the City.
At this time, a full budget plan for Destination Pickering Corporation (DPC) has not been
established given the reporting timelines, payment processing schedules, and limited collection
data available. All funds collected to date are being held in a reserve account and once DPC is up
and running, these dollars will then be transferred. The DPC 2026 budget developed by the Board
of Directors will be brought before Pickering City Council.
The 2026 Current Budget will show a transfer of MAT dollars to DPC. The transfer will be based
on an estimate of dollars collected for 2025 less administrative expenses, such as external audit
fees, and the residual balance of 50% will be transferred to DPC.
The agreement between ORHMA and the City of Pickering has been finalized and executed;
however, the one-time fee of $3,000.00 has not been invoiced. As collections only began in June
2025, the quarterly administration fee of 1.8% of monthly remittances, as well as the one-time fee,
will be processed following the completion of the third quarter of 2025.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the implementation of the
MAT and the establishment of Destination Pickering, and to seek Council approval for the
Organizational By-law, Policy ADM 300 - Asset Transfers to Municipal Services Corporations, and
the execution of the Service Level Agreement, in accordance with Report ECD 02-25 (Resolution
#666/25) from the February 24, 2025 Council Meeting.
On April 11, 2025, the City of Pickering received a letter of Limited Authorization to Form and
Operate a Tourism Municipal Services Corporation from the Region of Durham. This authorization
permitted the City to incorporate Destination Pickering Inc. to serve as the dedicated tourism entity
to meet the provinces’ requirement that a minimum of 50% of MAT revenues be allocated to an
eligible tourism entity.
Due to delays in receiving the required Letter of Limited Authorization to Form and Operate a
Tourism Municipal Services Corporation from the Region of Durham, an amendment to By-law
No. 8161/25 was made to allow the implementation date of May 1, 2025, to be changed to June 1,
2025. This amendment was passed on April 29, 2025, to provide enough time for accommodation
providers to update their financial systems to reflect the new requirements and allow ORHMA

additional time to disseminate training materials related to the MAT remittance structure. On June
1, 2025, the MAT was successfully implemented at a rate of 4%.
The City’s Corporate Services Department completed the incorporation of Destination Pickering
Inc. and prepared a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between The City of Pickering and
Destination Pickering Inc. The SLA (see Service Level Agreement – Destination Pickering Inc,
Attachment 3) defines the organization’s operational objectives, responsibilities, and financial
accountability.
An Organizational By-law (see Organizational By-law No.1, Attachment 1) was also developed to
establish procedures for calling of meetings, appointing of officers, voting, and other governance
requirements necessary for the corporation’s operation. Both the SLA and Organizational By-law
were reviewed and formally adopted by the interim Board of Directors of Destination Pickering.
Policy ADM 300 – Asset Transfers to Municipal Services Corporation has been created and
approved by the Policy Coordinating Committee to set out the responsibilities and process for the
transfer of assets by The Corporation of the City of Pickering to municipal services corporations in
accordance with applicable legislation and as authorized by Council. It is intended to address
asset transfers to municipal services corporations as required under section 7 of Ontario
Regulation 599/06 made under the Municipal Act.
The Finance Department formalized and executed the agreement between the City of Pickering
and ORHMA. This agreement enables ORHMA to train the local hotel and motel staff on MAT
collection and remittance procedures. The collection and remittance process has been successful
for June, July, and August, with the City receiving funds directly through ORHMA.
The interim Board of Directors has identified three industry stakeholders to join the Board.
Candidates were identified by staff and were selected through an open application process that
invited interested Pickering residents, business owners, and professionals with relevant
experience to apply. A total of four applications were received and following a thorough review by
the interim Board of Destination Pickering, three individuals were recommended for appointment
during an in-camera session of council on November 24, 2025.

Report to Council
Report Number: FIN 18-25
Date: November 24, 2025
From: Stan Karwowski
Direcor, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: Annual Treasurer’s Statement Report
Summary of Activity for the Year Ended December 31, 2024
File: F-4290
Recommendation:
1. That Report FIN 18-25 entitled “Annual Treasurer’s Statement Report: Summary of
Activity for the Year Ended December 31, 2024” as required by the Development Charges
Act, 1997 and Planning Act be received for information;
2. That the City of Pickering’s “Annual Treasurer’s Statement Report” be made available to the public on the City of Pickering’s website; and,
3. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be given authority to take the necessary
actions to give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to comply with the legislative requirements in the Development Charges Act, 1997 (DCA) and the Planning Act that necessitates the Treasurer of the municipality to provide Council with a financial statement each year for the Development Charges (DC), Community Benefits Charges (CBC), and Cash-in-Lieu (CIL) of Parkland Reserve Funds as of December 31, 2024.
Section 43 of the DCA requires that the Treasurer of a municipality provide to Council an annual financial statement for activities relating to the DC by-law and reserve funds established under section 33 of the DCA, and a listing of DC/Lot Levy credits.
Subsection 37 (48) of the Planning Act, 1990 states that a council of a municipality that passes
a CBC by-law shall provide an annual financial statement of the CBC transactions in the
preceding year. These reserve funds are established as the Public Benefits Reserve Fund and CBC Reserve Fund, respectively.
Additionally, subsection 42 (17) of the Planning Act, 1990 sets out that if a council of a municipality that passes a Parkland Conveyance by-law, the Treasurer must provide Council
with an annual financial statement for activities related to its CIL of Parkland reserve funds.
Collectively, these three charges are known as growth funding tools. They are collected to fund new infrastructure needed to service the requirements brought about by new developments. These revenues can only be used for the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with the legislation and Council approved policies.
Growth funding tools are important revenue tools for municipalities so that existing property
- 94 -
FIN 18-25 November 24, 2025
Page 2
owners are not unduly burdened by the cost of growth-related infrastructure.
Attachment 1 provides details of the activity of the Development Charges Reserve Fund for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the manner prescribed by section 43(2)(a) of the DCA. Attachment 2 provides details on information related to projects funded by the development
charges as stipulated by section 43(2) (b) of the amended DCA.
Attachment 3 is the Treasurer’s Statement attesting to the fact that no additional levies have
been collected by the City beyond those allowed under existing legislation as per Section 59.1 (1) of the DCA.
Legislation requires Council to ensure that these statements are made available to the public. These statements will be posted on the City’s website to facilitate compliance with the
amendment.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key to Deliver on Good Governance/Customer Service Excellence.
Financial Implications: As presented in Table 1, DC revenue of $17.7 million was collected
in 2024 with an additional $6.1 million in interest earned. An additional $3.2 million was
transferred in to make DC reserves whole resulting from the phasing-in of rates introduced through Bill 23 - The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022. In-year transfers to capital projects amounted to $8.8 million, with most of it - 67% or $5.8 million being for Parks and Recreation development projects.
The closing balance (after commitments) of the DC Reserve Fund as of December 31, 2024
was $15.2 million, which represents a decrease of $100 million, year-over-year. The decrease in the reserve fund balance was mainly due to higher-than-average commitments related to projects in Fire Protection, Transportation and Parks and Recreation service categories. The three major projects are:
1. Fire Station Headquarters in Seaton;
2. Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre; and
3. Seaton Recreation Community Centre & Library.

1 Funding of DC revenue loss due to Bill 23
Attachment 1 provides a breakdown of the various DC service categories. A few of the service categories are in a negative position - this is normal as the infrastructure required to service
growth needs to be emplaced prior to developments happening and the negative balances will
be recovered through DC fees collected from current and future growth-related activity.

The CBC framework, introduced through Bill 197 – COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020, replaced the former Section 37 density bonusing provisions of the Planning Act. The CBC allows municipalities to levy up to 4 percent of land value (as of the day before building-permit issuance) on higher-density developments - those with five or more storeys and ten or more
units.
In 2024, there were no CBC collections, reflecting no qualifying projects. Interest earnings of $24,654 was credited to the reserve and $226,645 was transferred to fund Pickering Heritage Community Centre project.
The remaining balance from the legacy Public Benefits Reserve Fund has been committed to
park-related capital works and will be fully drawn down upon project completion.
The (CIL of Parkland reserve, established under Section 42 of the Planning Act, continues to provide dedicated funding for parkland acquisition and improvement. CIL receipts in 2024 totaled $1.1 million, with interest earnings of $312,351 and expenditures of $985,196 towards various City-wide park enhancements and parkland acquisitions.
Together, these two funding tools ensure that as development intensifies, the supporting
community infrastructure and public-realm amenities are adequately provided.
There are no outstanding lot-levies or DC Credits carried over from the previous legislation.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the legislated Reserve Funds as of December 31, 2024. Funds are not transferred out of the Development Charges Reserve Fund for projects until the funds are actually needed, as required by applicable accounting rules. This ensures that the reserve fund continues to earn interest income on the
unspent monies until such time as actual expenses are incurred.
The total reserve fund balance of $133.4 million (before commitments) represented in Attachment 1 is the unspent balance as at December 31, 2024. There is approximately $118.2 million of committed capital projects that have been approved but have not proceeded or are still ongoing as of December 31, 2024. Of these commitments, approximately $68 million or 51
percent relate to the Parks and Recreation - which include high profile projects like Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre and Seaton Recreation Complex & Library. The other high value projects include Fire Station # 1 and Walnut Lane extension. Having various DC components in a deficit position is not unusual when you consider that the City is now transitioning from a moderate to a higher growth scenario due to Seaton and downtown area
intensification. The total projected net surplus position after all budget expenditures and commitments was $15.2 million for the year-ended December 31, 2024.
In order to meet the requirements under section 43(2.1) of the amended DCA and section 37
and 42 of the Planning Act, it is recommended that these statements be placed on the City’s
website upon approval by Council.

Discussion: The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to award Request for Proposal
RFP2025-15 to Perry Group Consulting Ltd. for consulting services for a comprehensive
assessment of the City’s platforms, AMANDA and PRISM. The City of Pickering requires a
comprehensive assessment to determine how effectively these platforms support corporate
priorities, innovation and responsible planning to support a connected, well-serviced
community, championing economic leadership and innovation, and fostering an engaged and
informed community.
The City currently utilizes the AMANDA and PRISM platforms to manage core municipal
functions, including planning, permitting, licensing, property management, and customer
service delivery. As the City’s operational and digital needs evolve, it is essential to ensure
these systems continue to meet current and future requirements. The selected vendor will
assess the performance, scalability, integration capability, and overall suitability of these
platforms, as well as explore potential replacement options that align with modern technology
standards and the City’s long-term digital transformation goals.
This assessment will evaluate how well AMANDA and PRISM meet operational needs, identify
gaps in functionality, and assess opportunities to enhance efficiency, service delivery, and
accessibility for both staff and residents.
The results of this assessment will be:
•Background Review Report — A comprehensive report summarizing the current state
of AMANDA and PRISM, including findings from stakeholder engagement and a review
of best practices from other municipalities.
•Key Findings and Recommendation Report — A detailed report outlining system
strengths, weaknesses, and actionable recommendations, including financial
implications and modernization options.
•Marketing and Competitive Assessment — An analysis of competing ERP and portal
solutions, including a SWOT assessment, to inform the City’s strategic direction.
•Long-Term Strategy and Future Alignment — Recommendations regarding
modernization, automation, and integration with other City platforms and systems such
as GSI, CORE, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 to ensure continued scalability and
support for digital transformation.
By undertaking this assessment, the City will be positioned to make informed decisions
regarding the future of its AMANDA and PRISM systems. The findings will guide investments
in digital infrastructure, ensuring technology platforms are secure, efficient, and aligned with
the City’s strategic vision and commitment to service excellence.
