The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has reviewed the budgetary implications
and the financing of the expenditures contained in this report and concurs. The over
expenditure of $29,730 will be financed from the issuance of an internal loan for a term
not exceeding 10 years. Annual debt charges of approximately $19,000 will be
included in the 2008 Current Budget and each year thereafter until the loan is repaid.
Sustainability Implications:
As part of the City's Sustainability initiative this project includes the grinding of existing
asphalt pavement to be recycled into the granular base course materials.
,
With the use of recycled materials on this project it reduces on green house gas
emissions, which would occur as a result of the additional trucking involved in hauling
new granular base course materials.
Background:
The repaving of the parking lot at West Shore Community Centre ($110,000) was
approved by Council in the 2007 Capital Budget (GL Account 5719.0702.6181).
The consulting firm of Sabourin Kimble & Associates was retained by the City to provide
specifications and technical support. Quotation No. Q-47-2007 closed on Wednesday,
July 18, 2007 with four (4) bidders responding. The total gross project cost is estimated
to be $148,114 for an estimated net cost to the City of $139,730 (net of GST rebate).
In order to proceed with this project it will be necessary for the City to approve
additional funding in the amount of $29,730.
The low bidder, Wyndale Paving Co. Ltd. has advised that due to other work
commitments and the project was delayed to obtain approval for additional funding,
they are not able to complete this project in 2007. The second low bid was submitted
by D. Crupi & Sons Limited. D. Crupi & Sons Limited have confirmed they are able to
complete this project in 2007. D. Crupi & Sons Limited references have been checked
and are deemed acceptable by the consultant and the Supervisor, Facilities Operations.
The Health & Safety Policy, current WSIB Board and Certificate of Clearance issued by
Workplace Safety & Insurance Board and Certificate of Insurance as submitted by D.
Crupi & Sons Limited have been reviewed by the Coordinator, Health & Safety and are
deemed acceptable. In conjunction with staff's review of the contractor's previous work
experience and the bonding available on this project, the quotation is deemed
acceptable.

generated and approved by TRCA with
removed most of the Home Depot lands

mapping still identified a significant
amount of land within the Town Centre
West development area as falling within
the floodplain. Marshall Macklin

the City on the Frenchman's Bay which
includes the Pine Creek watershed.
MMM is able to use information already

RE: THE IMPLEMENT A TION OF A COMMUNITY NEIGHBOURHOOD WA TCH
"Marshall Farms Nei2hbourhood Watch. Pickerio2"
Through the implementation of Crime Prevention Programs, dedicated community volunteers work with police to
help reduce crime in their communities.
One such "Citizen Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a program which employs
an elegantly simple technique of"neighbours looking out for neighbours" to reduce threats of crime against potential
victims.
This letter is to introduce you to a group of concerned citizens who want to be involved in this program. Through
persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch
within their community. They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police Service's
"Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment from their fellow neighbours of at least 75%
participation. In so doing, they have demonstrated their understanding that Crime Prevention is not just a job for a
few professionals. Rather, the attitude and involvement of these citizens proves their genuine concern to work
together to make our community a better place to live.
The Durham Regional Police Service endorses this new organization as an official Community Neighbourhood
Watch. It is recommended that they be granted permission to erect approved Neighbourhood Watch signs in their
area as a crime deterrent.

Report Number: CS 39-07
Date: September 10, 2007

From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Cash Position Report as at June 30, 2007
Recommendation:
That Report CS 39-07 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer regarding Cash
Position as at June 30,2007 be received for information.
Executive Summary: The attached schedules provide the City of Pickering's cash
position, continuity of taxes receivable, outstanding investments, development charges
collected and other development contribution information for the six months ended June
30,2007.
Financial Implications: The cash position of the Corporation for six months ended
June 30, 2007 was a net increase in cash of $5,451,917 to $8,256,520. Sources of
Funds totalled $101,697,013 and Uses of Funds totalled $96,245,095.
Sustainability Implications:
sustainability.
This report contains no information in regards to
Background: This report presents a six-month period of activity ending June 30,
2007. The discussion below describes the purpose and the information contained in
each of the attached schedules.
Statement of Cash Position: Attachment 1 reflects the sources and uses of funds for
the first half of 2007. Subcategories have been identified to highlight those cash
transactions that are significant in nature or large dollar value transactions for the City of
Pickering. This schedule summarizes the increase in cash of $5,451,917 over the first
six months. The 2007 mid-year balance is approximately $4,377,000 more than 2006.
However, year to year periodical comparisons may not be useful due to timing of
receipts and disbursements. Mid-year cash balances and future revenues are set to
meet the cash requirements for the second half of 2007. The positive net cash balance
shows the City is in a sound financial position vis-a vis the 2007 budget.
Report CS 39-07
Date: September 10, 2007
. Cash Position Report as at June 30,2007
2~
Page 2
Continuity of Taxes Receivable: Attachment 2 summarizes the tax related transactions
from January 1 to June 30, 2007 and provides the outstanding taxes receivable as at
June 30, 2007. This balance represents all three levels of taxes billed, such as City,
Region and School Boards. This has increased over the past several years but may
vary where due dates and amounts for supplementary billings change from year to year.
Current year's taxes receivable of $56.0 million is approximately 43.7% of the $128.2
million total taxes billed as at June 30, 2007. This percentage is comparatively high as a
large portion of the current year's taxes due on July 11, 2007 are reported as
outstanding as at June 30, 2007.
Of the total outstanding $63.9 million taxes receivable, $56.0 million or 87.6% are from
the current year and $7.9 million or 12.4% are from prior years. The prior years'
receivable has increased over the years as municipal budgetary requirements have
translated into higher taxes billed which in turn resulted to an increase in property taxes
receivable.
Outstandino Investments: Attachment 3 reflects the short-term and long-term
investments for both the Current Fund and the Reserve Funds outstanding as at June
30, 2007. There has been a steady increase in investments over the past few years
primarily as a result of funds that are on hand due to pending assessment appeals and
the timing of the collection and remittance of development charges and supplementary
taxes. Total investment portfolio as at June 30, 2007 is $53.8 million with $4.8 million
coming from internal loans and $49.0 million from general investments.
Development Charoes Collected: Attachment 4 indicates the total development charges
for the City, Region and School Boards, as the City is responsible for collecting
development charges on behalf of all levels of government. The total amount collected
of $1,686,928 agrees with the balance indicated under Sources of Funds on
Attachment 1. However the remittance of development charges to the Region and
School Boards indicated under the Use of Funds is different than the total collected on
Attachment 4. This variance is a result of timing differences because payments to the
Region and School Boards are due 25 days following the month collected. Development
charges collected in the first six months of 2007 is approximately $463,000 higher than
the amount collected over the same period in 2006.
Other Development Contributions: Attachment 5 is provided to show other significant
development contributions that have been received.
The balance of the tables shows multi year receipts. The first half of 2007 collections of
the City portion of development charges are up over the same period from 2003 to
2006. However, the 287 building permits issued for the first six months up to June 30,
2007 is almost the same with the 291 permits issued during the same period last year.

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: CS 40-07
Date: September 10, 2007
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
2007 Final Tax Due Dates for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-
Residential Realty Tax Classes
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 40-07 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to issue the final
2007 Tax Bills for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-residential properties with a
due date of October 12th, 2007;
3. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to make any
changes or undertake any actions necessary, including altering the due date, in
order to ensure the tax billing process is completed and in order to comply with
Provincial Regulations;
4. That the draft By-law attached to this report be enacted; and,
5. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary
actions to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: Adoption of the above recommendations and passing the
attached By-law provides for the final 2007 tax billing for non-residential tax classes
(commercial, industrial and multi-residential). During the last few years, the City has
billed the final non-residential taxes separately mainly due to the additional steps that
are required as a result of the capping legislation.
Financial Implications: The attached By-law is for the final billing of 2007 property
taxes for commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties. This billing of final
property taxes will raise approximately $20.8 million for the City, Durham Region and
School Boards. Tax bills for the Residential tax classes were mailed on June 20,2007
with due dates of July 11th and September 2ih.

Sustainability Implications: Passing the attached By-law will allow the City to obtain
the funds required to maintain its financial sustainability objectives as provided for in the
2007 Current Budget. It also provides for the raising of property taxes for the Region of
Durham and the school boards.
Background: In 1998, the Province introduced Current Value Assessment or
CV A on a Province wide basis to replace the old patch quilt system (throughout the
Province) where each municipality used a different base year for assessment purposes.
The end result of CV A was the fact that some business were experiencing property tax
increases well above 100%. To reduce the property tax increases, the Province
introduced capping legislation in 1998.
The City of Pickering will soon be in a position to issue the final 2007 property tax bills
in accordance with the capping provisions of Bill 140, Continued Protection for Property
Taxpayers Act, passed by the Province on December 4, 2000 and implemented
through various Regulations. (Bill 140 replaced the original capping legislation of Bill 79
introduced and approved in 1998). This legislation was put in place to limit assessment
reform related increases to 5% per year on commercial, industrial and multi-residential
properties. Under this legislation, property owners facing increases due to property
assessment reform had their increases "capped" (reduced). Conversely, those
properties experiencing decreases were limited to that permitted under the legislation.
This meant that taxes have to be "clawed back" from those experiencing decreases to
fund the loss of revenue resulting from the capped increases.
The funding of the capping protection is "paid for" on a Region wide basis. The Region
of Durham acts like a banker in this process. In other words, the total cost of the
capping protection for example, the commercial tax class is paid for by the other
commercial properties throughout the Region by having a portion of their related
property tax decrease withheld (clawed back). As part of the Region wide process, the
City of Pickering uses a Provincial database program called "Online Property Tax
Analysis" (OPT A) to verify non-residential assessment data. Every municipality within
Durham Region uses the OPT A system. Assessment Review Board decisions and
Minutes of Settlement decisions have been incorporated into the capping calculations
up to the cut-off date of May 1st, 2007.
Bill 83 - Leaislative Chanaes to Cappina Leaislation
In 2004, the Province passed Bill 83 (An Act to Implement Budget Measures), which
provided for various optional tax tools that could be used for the non-residential tax
class. In a two tier municipal government structure, the upper tier has the option to
select all or some of the tax tools. These tax tools consisted of the following options:
1. The assessment related increase cap was increased from 5% to 10%.
Report CS 40-07
Date: September 10, 2007
. Subject: 2007 Final Tax Due Dates for Commercial, Industrial and Multi-
'I . 36 Residential Realty Tax Classes
Page 3
2. Minimum annual threshold increase of 5% of total CV A property taxation.
3. A "billing" threshold be established whereby a property who is within the $250 of its
CVA based taxation would be required to pay its full CVA property taxes.
4. Properties that fall within the "New Construction" category will now have their
property taxes phased-in to full CV A BY 2008. For 2007, the minimum rate for New
Construction properties is 90%.
The purpose of these tax tools is to accelerate the movement of non-residential
taxpayers to full CV A taxes (where taxes are calculated using Current Value
Assessment multiplied by the corresponding tax rate). The Region of Durham adopted
all of the tax tools referenced above.
In 2007, the City of Pickering issued an interim tax bill to all property owners in all tax
classes with two instalment dates of February 27th and April 27th. Final Residential
tax bills were mailed on June 20, 2007. The proposed final instalment due date of
October 12th for all properties in the Non-Residential tax classes, provides these tax
classes with some additional time to pay their tax bill. Table One below illustrates the
final billing due dates for the non-residential tax classes from 2000 to 2007.

Report Number: CS 41-07
Date: September 10, 2007
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Section 357/358 of the Municipal Act - Adjustment to Taxes
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 41-07 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the write-offs of taxes as provided under Section 357/358 of the Municipal
Act, 2001 be approved; and,
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the
necessary action to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary:
Not Applicable
Financial Implications: If approved, the write-off of taxes as contained in this report
represents a gross cost of $42,760.21 with a net cost to the City of approximately
$10,337.00, the balance being charged back to the Region of Durham and the School
Boards. Pickering's share of the costs will be charged to the 2007 Current Budget
allocation under General Government - Provision for Uncollectable Taxes. The 2007
budget provision is $277,000 and $36,994.44 including the above has been spent to
date.
Sustainability Implications:
implications.
This report does not contain any sustainability
Background: The Municipal Act provides the Treasurer with various tax tools
regarding the administration and collection of property taxes. Under the provisions of
the new Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, Section 357 of the Act provides for the
reduction of taxes due to fire, demolition, exemption, assessment change or error and
the tax reduction is applicable to the current year only. Section 358 of the new
Municipal Act, 2001, allows for the reduction of taxes due to assessment error and this
section can be applied to property taxes for the two preceding years.

Attachment 1 represents properties that are classified as taxable. Two properties reflect
"no change" or reduction in their property taxes. This change is shown as having zeros
in the corresponding columns. Municipal Property Assessment Corporation or MPAC
staff have investigated each assessment reduction request. After completing their
investigation, they have reached the conclusion that the property does not warrant a
reduction in assessment and therefore, an adjustment in property taxes. In some
situations, the demolished structure was less than pristine condition, and demolishing
the structure did not reduce the property's assessment value. If the property owner
does not agree with MPAC's recommendation, they have the right to appeal to the
Assessment Review Board under subsection (7) of the Municipal Act, 2001.
Attachment 2 represents properties that are classified as Payment in Lieu (PILS). Ten
properties are owned by Region of York/Durham Region. The residential properties
associated with the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant are now vacant,
therefore resulting in exempt status as stated in Section 3 (9) of the Assessment Act.
Change in realty tax class can translate into lower property taxes if the property went
from industrial to commercial tax class or commercial to residential tax class.
Demolitions, and other physical changes to a property, such as removing or filling in a
swimming pool, or damage caused by fire result in a reduction in assessment and
taxes.

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: CS 42-07
Date: September 10, 2007
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Municipal Performance Measurement Program - Provincially Mandated
Public Reporting of Performance Measures
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Report CS 42-07 from the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer be received and forwarded to Council for information.
Executive Summary: The City is mandated by the Province of Ontario to report on
Performance Measures for specific key service areas. The collection and reporting of
these measures is derived from the Financial Information Return filed by the City with
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. These measurements are being
submitted and reported by the Treasurer under the direction of Provincial authority.
Attached are the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) results for
2006 together with a supplemental information package which will be provided on the
City's website, a comparison to the 2005 Measures and a copy of the Public Notice that
will appear in the News Advertiser at the end of September.
Financial Implications: None
Sustainability Implications:

This report contains no information pertaining to
Background: Attachment 1 is the information mandated by the Province to be
reported to the public by September 30, 2007. Comments pertaining to the compilation
and interpretation of the data have been included to aid in the explanation and
understanding of what is being reported. The Province has made provision for these
comments and encourages their inclusion, as many municipalities do.

Even though this is the seventh year of Performance Measurement reporting, these
measures continue to evolve with new ones being added as feedback from
municipalities are received and are taken into consideration by the Province. In
addition there are continual refinements to the way measures are defined and
calculated, especially in the Parks and Recreation area, where the measures are new
within the last three years of reporting. Municipalities also continue to improve on their
methods for data collection in attempts to ensure consistency with reporting. This leads
to improving the measures to better serve the interests of the public and municipal
needs for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the services we provide in the
municipality. However I must still caution against municipality-to-municipality
comparisons due to the fact no two municipalities are identical in their geography, rural
vs. urban mix or the level of service.
It will only be through continuing efforts, ongoing experience, further guidance from the
Province and consistent reporting formulas that year-to-year comparisons within the
municipality and across municipalities will become meaningful.
For 2006, the transfer of Transit Services to the Region of Durham has increased the
allocation of General Government program support costs to the City's other operating
Divisions. This has had an impact on the 2006 costs used in the calculation of
performance measures for the City's larger Divisions, such as Municipal Property &
Engineering and Recreation Services and reduces the comparability of the 2006
measures to 2005. Attachment 2 provides a comparison of the results for the two
years.
The information will be posted on the City's website, as was the case in past years, and
a notice to this effect will be included in the "Community Page" of the local newspaper,
Attachment 3. The information will also be available to anyone wishing to pick it up at
City Hall.

CITY OF PICKERING
YEAR 2006 PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT REPORT
47
OVERVIEW
As required by the Ontario Government's Municipal Performance Measures Program
(MPMP), the Treasurer of the City of Pickering, as part of its 2006 Financial Information
Return (FIR) package, has submitted financial and related service performance
measurements to the Province.
This program was announced in 2000 by the Ontario Government, which requires
municipalities to collect and report data to the Province and the Public in the form of
performance measurements on key service areas.
The objective of the Province is: to enhance accountability by reporting to taxpayers; to
increase taxpayer awareness; and, to improve service delivery by sharing best
practices with comparable municipalities. As municipalities change and grow, its
citizens expect to receive quality, cost effective services. Performance measurements
are a means of benchmarking these services. The City is committed to refining and
developing new methods of collecting data so as to have more efficient and effective
benchmarking tools.
The benefits of this program will improve as municipalities in conjunction with personnel
of the Ontario Government's Municipal Performance Measurement Program work
towards standardizing information collected in calculating the related measures which
will ultimately allow for fairer comparisons from year to year and across municipalities.
Each measure is also accompanied by comments regarding aspects of the
measurements. The comments are an integral part in the interpretation of the
performance measure results. These results should not be compared across
municipalities without consideration of the comments that impact on interpreting and
understanding the results. In addition, influencing factors in the collection of data or
refinements while the measures are still evolving could affect the results and
comparability of same year over year.
For 2006, Transit Services were transferred to the Region of Durham therefore
measures have not been reported upon as it is no longer a municipal responsibility.
This transfer impacts the allocation of program support costs included in the 2006
performance measure costs for the City's larger divisions, such as Municipal Property &
Engineering and Recreation Services, and reduces the comparability of the 2006

GENERAL GOVERNMENT
1.1 OPERATING COSTS FOR GOVERNANCE AND CORPORATE
MANAGEMENT
2006
10.00%
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for governance and corporate management as a percentage of total
municipal operating costs.
2005
6.50%
Objective
To determine the efficiency of municipal management.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
. The extent that cost centers within municipalities directly relate to the functions
included under the governance and corporate management categories.
. The level of service provided to the corporation and the public.
Detailed Comments
Calculation of this measure includes governance, corporate management and
related allocation from program support expenditures. The increase this year of 3.5%
from prior year is attributed to the following:
1. Transfer of transit services to the Region in 2006 - This decreased the total
municipal operating costs (denominator) thereby increasing the resulting
efficiency measure,
2. Election year 2006 - Increase in operating costs from election related
expenditures, and
3. Recovery of a large account receivable previously classified as uncollectible
and other one time corporate costs also affected the computation of this
measure.
Since these costs are non-recurring year over year, the 2006 measure is not
comparable to 2005.

Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for fire services per $1 ,000 of assessment.
Objective
Provide efficient municipal fire services.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
. Emergency response times
. Number and location of fire halls
. Urban/rural mix of properties as well as density of buildings
. Geographic size of municipality
Detailed Comments
Assessment value does not necessarily correlate to operating cost for fire services.
The higher the assessment value, the lower the cost per $1,000 assessment.
Conversely the urban/rural mix of the community will affect the results as will the size
and type of commercial/industrial establishments.
Number of households, response time and urban/rural mix of the municipality are
factors that determine the need for fire services not the property value.
*The 2005 result has been restated to reflect a re-definition of costs used in the

$700.44 $1,001.47 *
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for paved (hard top) roads per lane kilometer.
Objective
Provide efficient maintenance of paved roads.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
. Use of the roads by heavy equipment.
. The municipality's standard for road conditions in comparison with comparable
municipalities.
. Kilometres of paved roads in the municipality.
. The allocation of operating costs used in the determination of the numerator
when there is not a separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
Paved (hard top) roads include roads with asphalt, concrete and composite surfaces.
The City of Pickering maintains separate accounts to track material costs related to
roads. However, the costs for administration and other indirect costs have been
allocated to the cost for paved roads based on management's best estimate of the
proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road functions such as maintenance of
paved and unpaved roads and winter control
The identified costs attributable to this function include employee wages & benefits,
asphalt, program support, rental of heavy equipment and shoulder maintenance.
There were less materials used for road repairs in 2006 compared to 2005 as fewer
kilometers of roads required asphalt repairs in 2006 based on municipal standards.
The City maintained 686 paved lane kilometers in 2006 and 751 kilometers in 2005.
The 65 kilometers decrease is a result of data collection refinement when certain
roads previously identified as three-lanes were reclassified to less lanes for the
calculation.

Objective
Provide efficient maintenance of unpaved roads.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
. Use of the roads by heavy equipment.
. The kilometres of unpaved roads in the municipality in comparison with
comparable municipalities.
. Locations of the unpaved lanes.
. The allocation of operating costs used in the determination of the numerator
when there is not a separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
Unpaved (loose top) roads include roads with gravel, stone or other loose surface.
The City of Pickering maintains separate accounts to track material costs related to
roads. However, the cost for administration and other indirect costs have been
allocated to the cost for unpaved roads based on management's best estimate of the
proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road functions such as maintenance of
paved and unpaved roads and winter control.
The operating cost of maintaining the City's unpaved roads includes employee
wages & benefits, granular materials, administering calcium programs, program
support, rental of heavy equipment, grading, wash out repair and shoulder
maintenance.
The City maintained 232 unpaved lane kilometers in 2006, 236 kilometers in 2005.
A significant factor affecting rural road maintenance costs is traffic exiting the eastern
terminus of Highway 407 and the effects of spring thaw.

Objective
Provide efficient winter control operation.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
. The municipality's standard service levels for road conditions.
. The kilometres of paved and unpaved roads in the municipality in comparison with
comparable municipalities.
. The allocation of operating costs used in the determination of the numerator when
there is not a separate cost centre.
Detailed Comments
In 2004 the City of Pickering maintains a separate account to track material costs that
were directly related to winter control. The costs for administration and other indirect
costs have been allocated to the cost for winter control based on management's best
estimate of the proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road functions such as
maintenance of paved and unpaved roads and winter control.
The operating cost of the City's winter control maintenance includes employee wages
& benefits, salt, sand, program support, equipment rental, culvert thawing.
The City maintained a total of 918 lane kilometers in 2006, 987 kilometers in 2005.
The decrease in lane kilometers is a result of data collection refinement when certain
roads previously identified as three-lanes were reclassified to less lanes for the
calculation.
The relatively low maintenance cost per lane kilometer was largely due to the mild
winter experienced in 2006 resulting to lower response frequencies for snow and ice
control. The City responded to 22 winter events in 2006 compared to 51 in 2005.
A significant factor affecting winter maintenance costs is traffic exiting the eastern
terminus of Highway 407.

Objective
Provide efficient storm water system.
General Comments
The following factors can influence the efficiency rate of urban storm' water
management:
. The geography of the City
. The extent and age of the drainage system
. The inventory of pipes in the Municipality
Detailed Comments
This measure identifies direct costs such as contracted services and materials, storm
pipe cleaning, flushing, video inspection, catch basin/manhole repairs, storm pipe
repairs, cleaning of specialized oil and grit separators.
Storm water management is increasingly important as the City continues to develop
and intensify and pressures are put on watercourses and Frenchman's Bay. In 2006,
the City contracted out some cleaning and flushing of existing sewers and catch
basins to meet its service responsibilities which led to increased costs.
The City maintained 298 kilometers of urban drainage system compared to 401
kilometers in 2005. This reduction results from the Province changing the formula to
exclude connections from the total kilometers of urban drainage system.
