REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: CAO 04-08
Date: May 12, 200~, I
From:
Thomas J. Quinn
Chief Administrative Officer
Subject:
Acquisition and Disposal of Land Interests
. Amendments to Policy ADM 130
File: L-4610-001-08 01
Recommendations:
1. THAT Report CAO 04-08 of the Chief Administrative Officer be received; and
2. Policy ADM 130 (Acquisition and Disposal of Land) be amended as set out in
Attachment NO.2.
Executive Summary:
As part of the City's continuing efforts to improve service delivery, staff are
recommending changes to Policy ADM 130 to simplify and expedite approvals for
routine land transactions.
Financial Implications:
If the recommendation is adopted, there will be significant savings in terms of staff time.
Sustainability Implications:
This report does not contain any sustainability implications.
Background:
The City routinely receives requests from both public and private entities for permission
to enter onto and use City property. Some requests are for temporary access (e.g. to
facilitate construction) and others are for permanent access (e.g. to install underground
services). Typically, the requests pose no risks or burdens to the City, but can offer
significant benefits (e.g. facilitation of the construction of needed public infrastructure or
desirable private development). Any risks to the City can be covered off in agreements
with the party requesting the conveyance of the land interest. The form of the
Report CAO 04-08

agreement (i.e. encroachment agreement, temporary working easement, permanent
access easement, lease or license) depends upon the nature of the request.
Policy ADM 130 (ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF LAND POLICY) provides a
comprehensive set of procedures that must be followed when the City is considering
acquiring or disposing of a "fee simple" interest in land (i.e. absolute ownership). The
Policy does not deal with land interests other than fee simple interests. In other words,
it does not set out policies respecting leases, licenses, encroachments, easements or
rights-of-way. The practice has been to go to Council to seek approval for each and
every agreement dealing with such interests.
In order to make the process more efficient, it is recommended that responsibility for
the acquisition or disposition of certain types of land interests be delegated to the Chief
Administrative Officer or his designate. The specific recommendation is that approval
authority for the following types of land transactions be delegated:
a) temporary and permanent easements and rights-of-way.
b) encroachment agreements.
c) leases and licenses.
d) the acquisition or disposal of land required for public infrastructure.
Any delegation should be subject to the following conditions:
a) the consideration paid or received for any land or any interest in land
acquired or disposed of cannot exceed $5,000;
b) no other City interests will be adversely affected by the proposed acquisition
or disposal;
c) for all disposals, the party acquiring the interest must pay all transaction
costs and all fees in accordance with the City's approved fees by-law, and
enter into an agreement that is acceptable to the City Solicitor.
The recommended approach is consistent with recent amendments to the Municipal
Act, 2001 that encourage stream-lining the delivery of municipal services.
The specific wording of proposed amendments to Policy ADM 130 is set out In
Attachment NO.2 to this report.

Report Number: OES 02-08
Date: May 12, 2008
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
City's Traffic & Parking By-law No. 6604/05
Housekeeping and Updating Amendments
File: A-2130
Recommendations:
1. That Report OES 02-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services
regarding proposed amendments to the City's Traffic & Parking By-law No.
6604/05 be received; and
2. That the draft by-law attached to this report be enacted to amend By-law No.
6604/05.
Executive Summary: The City's Traffic & Parking By-law No. 6604/05 (the "Traffic
By-law") was passed on December 19, 2005. It amalgamated numerous traffic and
parking related by-laws into one comprehensive document. As part of an ongoing effort
to keep the Traffic By-law current, staff propose changes to,
. incorporate new roads and/or portions of roads;
. include recent legislative provisions in the Highway Traffic Act ("HTA");
. respond to requests from the community;
. incorporate Community Safety Zones in accordance with Resolution #96/07;
and
. address other municipal concerns.
Financial Implications: The general amendments to the Traffic By-law
recommended in this report do not present any major financial implications. However,
the specific recommendations associated with the implementation of a community
safety zone program is estimated to cost $6,500.00. This cost can be accommodated
within the roads current account, 2320-2409.

Sustainability Implications: The changes proposed by staff are relevant to the social
lens of sustainability by addressing traffic operations and their impacts on municipal
infrastructure (roadway) data management.
Background:
General By-law Corrections
As part of an ongoing effort to ensure accurate traffic records, staff continue to field
verify municipal traffic controls. As a result of this work, staff have identified and hereby
propose several corrections to the Traffic By-law. Attached to this report (Attachment
No.1) is a list of the proposed corrections and the reasons for the corrections.
Major By-law Amendments - Pedestrian Crossovers
Currently, the Traffic By-law contains provisions to formally establish pedestrian
crossovers (PXOs) in the City in accordance with the HTA. However, as these devices
have been linked with an unacceptably high rate of pedestrian accidents across
Ontario, and are being phased out and replaced by conventional pedestrian activated
traffic signals, typically referred to as an intersection pedestrian signal (IPS). As all of
the previously established PXOs in the City have been converted to IPSs (see list
below), an amendment to the Traffic By-law is required to remove all pedestrian
crossover references (e.g. clauses 14(a) and (b) and Schedule 11).
Location
. Glenanna Road at Esplanade South
. Dixie Road at Silverthorn Square
. Liverpool Road at Tatra Drive
. Oklahoma Drive at Eyer Drive
. Glenanna Road at Fieldllight Boulevard
. Valley Farm Road at Fieldlight Blvd
. Glenanna Road at Walnut Lane
Maior By-law Amendment - Parkinq on Municipal Property
In response to ongoing public complaints, Municipal Law Enforcement Services staff
have requested an amendment to the Traffic By-law which would prohibit overnight
(1 :00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.) parking on municipal property other than a highway. This
request is consistent with previous requests from Durham Regional Police Service to
prohibit overnight parking as a means of deterring loitering and night time vandalism.
Staff are therefore proposing to amend Section 17 of the Traffic By-law with the
addition of the following subsection:
Report OES 02-08

Subject:
Amendment to Traffic & Parking By-law No. 6604/05
Page 3
~~)
17. (2)
Where authorized signs which clearly indicate the regulation have
been installed, no person shall park on municipal property
between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Maior By-law Amendment - Community Safety Zones
In 1998, the Ontario Government passed amendments to the HTA to allow for the
establishment of community safety zones (CSZs). As a road safety initiative intended
to deter unsafe driver behavior, the changes provided municipalities with the authority
to designate municipal highways or portions of highways as CSZs and raised the
minimum set fines for moving violation offences within CSZs.
Anticipating a deluge of requests for action from the public, technical staff at the Region
of Durham and the area municipalities agreed to establish 10 test pilot sites on
Regional Roads where,
. there had been a history of repeated speeding offences
. enforcement alone had not been effective
. other mitigating measures were inappropriate or had not been effective
. there was a genuine, not perceived, safety problem
. there had been a high number of collisions.
The test pilot community safety zone in Pickering is located on Whites Road between
Highview Road and Finch Avenue fronting St. Mary Catholic High School.
While provisions for the use of CSZs are included in the municipally adopted Safer
Streets Traffic Management Strategy, no formal policies and/or zone selection criteria
have been established by the City. Also, the current Traffic By-law does not contain
provisions to formally identify and establish CSZs in the City in accordance with the
HTA.
On April 16, 2007, Council passed resolution #96/07 directing staff to establish "a
community safety zone on any arterial road where a school is located in the City of
Pickering". Consequently, staff are proposing that the following community safety
zones be established on the following roads under the jurisdiction of the City of
Pickering:

Staff propose to incorporate the changes by adding a new Schedule 14 to identify these
locations and by adding the following section to the Traffic By-law:
COMMUNITY SAFETY ZONES
33. (1)
In this section, "community safety zone" has the same meaning as
in the HT A.
(2) Where authorized signs are displayed, highways and sections of
highways as described in Columns 1 and 2 of Schedule 14 are
designated as community safety zones during the prohibited times
and days as set out in Column 3 of Schedule 14.
Maior Bv-Iaw Amendment - Reduced Load Hiqhwavs
The intent of reduced load designations is to limit the maximum vehicular loads on
roads which have not been constructed to a standard sufficient to accommodate heavy
loads and as such would be susceptible to deterioration as a result of spring excess
groundwater and intermittent freeze thaw cycle conditions.
The City currently administers the application of spring reduced (half) load restrictions
on its highways through sections 34 and 35 of the Traffic By-law which read as follows:
REDUCED LOAD HIGHWA YS
34. For the purposes of subsections 122 (1), (2) and (3) of the HTA, the
reduced load period shall be that period commencing on March 1st of each
year and ending on April 3dh of each year.
35. The highways to which the reduced load period designation applies shall
be those highways or portions of thereof as set out in Schedule 12.
The by-law generally requires an annual update to Schedule 12 in order to add new
roads and/or portions of road as they are constructed. However, for reasons of
administrative efficiency, staff propose an amendment to section 35 which would
establish all municipal roads as being spring load applicable and only identify those few

roads which are constructed to full load standards and would therefore be exempt from
the by-law's requirements. The suggested wording is as follows:
35. The reduced load period designation shall apply to all highways save and
except those highways or portions of highways set out in Schedule 12.
Leqislative Chanqes
On March 31, 2006, the Province proclaimed the Transportation Statute Law
Amendment Act, S.O. 2005 which amended the HTA. In addition to addressing other
issues, the Act gave municipalities the ability to establish construction zones, set lower
speed limits within the construction zones, and increase fines for speeding within the
zones when workers are present. The Act also made it an offence to disobey a traffic
control person's STOP and SLOW signs.
The Act also allows municipalities to appoint a person for the purposes of designating a
highway or a portion of a highway under the municipality's jurisdiction as a construction
zone and setting a lower rate of speed within the construction zone when the zone is
marked with signs in accordance with the Act. A copy of subsections 17(1) through (8)
of Bill 169 (which became the Transportation Statutes Law Amendment Act) is attached
to this report (Attachment No.2).
Currently, section 8 of the Traffic By-law empowers the City's Director of Operations &
Emergency Services or a designate to erect traffic signs. Staff propose an amendment
to section 8 to further authorize the Director or a designate to establish construction
zones and temporary rates of speeds within those zones.
Staff-Initiated Chanqes
In order to establish administrative improvements and to further simplify the Traffic By-
law, staff propose the following additional amendments:
(a) Authorized Sign Requirements
Currently, numerous sections of the Traffic By-law identify regulations or prohibitions
that are not effective unless authorized signs have been installed. However, the
signage requirement is not clearly identified within the specific section it applies to but
rather in an independent section (Section 46) at the end of the by-law.
Staff propose to clearly identify the specific authorized sign installation requirements
within each applicable by-law section by amending Section 46 and the Sections 14, 16,
17, 18, 20, 21, and 23 to include the words: "Where authorized signs that clearly
indicate the regulation have been installed":

(b) Boulevard Parking
Currently the Traffic By-law prohibits parking on boulevards. However, because
boulevard parking has recently been incorporated within the Millenium Square Marshall
Homes project along Liverpool Road, an amendment to Traffic By-law is necessary.
Staff propose the following amendment:
15. No person shall park any vehicle on a highway, ...
(i) on any boulevard unless authorized signs are installed which indicate that
parking is permitted on that side and between those limits set out in
Columns 1, 2 and 3 of Schedule 13 during the times or days set out in
Column 4 of Schedule 13;
(c) No Parking Near Supermailboxes and Transit Stops
In order to address Municipal Law Enforcement Services concerns and complaints
received from the public with respect to access difficulties caused by vehicular on street
parking, staff propose an amendment to Section 15 of General Stopping and Parking
Regulations of the Traffic By-law which would prohibit on street parking within 3 metres
of a supermailbox or a transit stop.
(d) General Stopping and Parking Regulations
Concerns have been voiced by municipal crossing guards that the "No Stopping"
distance adjacent to crosswalks at locations with either excessive vehicular speeds or
reduced visibility due to roadway alignment conditions (bends) is deemed to be
insufficient. Consequently, staff propose that the distance be increased from 10m to
30m through an amendment to clause 13(2)(c).
(e) Parking/Stopping During Winter Snow Clearing Operations
As an enforcement improvement initiative requested by Municipal Law Enforcement
Services staff, a minor change is proposed to the General Stopping and Parking
Regulations section of the Traffic By-law. Currently, clause 13(2)(d) of the Traffic By-
law prohibits parking any vehicle on a highway "while salt or sand is being applied to,
or when snow is being ploughed or removed from, any part of a highway". A minor
change to this section is required to make it clear that the snow clearing operations do
not have to be on the street being ticketed.
(f) Commercial Vehicles
In order to improve enforcement capabilities, by-law staff have requested a clarification
to the definition of "commercial vehicles". The.intent is to,

. allow for a simpler means of capturing complex vehicles and/or combination of
vehicles (i.e. commercial pickup and landscape trailer) which are currently
excluded from the existing by-law definition;
. clarify that the restriction also applies to oversize vehicles; and
. eliminate the existing exclusion within industrial areas.
Staff propose that section 22 of the Traffic By-law be replaced with the following:
COMMERCIAUOVERSIZE VEHICLES
22. (1)
In this section, "commercial/oversize vehicle" means any vehicle
or a combination of a vehicle and a trailer which exceeds 6.7
metres in length or has more than 4 wheels and is designed or
operated for a commercial purpose.
(2) No person shall park any commercial/oversize vehicle on any
highway unless the commercial/oversize vehicle is actually
engaged in the loading and unloading, delivery and receipt of
goods, wares, merchandise or passengers to adjacent premises.

From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
Regional Cycling Plan
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES-07-08 regarding the Regional Cycling Plan be received; and
2. That Council endorse staff comments as provided with the report and that Report
OES-07-08 be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham.
Executive Summary: In 2005, the Region of Durham (via Report No. 2005-J-23)
proposed the establishment ot policies and strategies to build and promote a regional
network of on and off road cycling routes and facilities. The Region retained Marshall
Macklin Monaghan as their consultant to undertake the Regional Cycling Plan Study
with an objective to develop a 'Cycling Plan' across the Region integrated with local
municipalities. In the fall of 2007 the Region of Durham published the Durham Cycling
Plan Study prepared by their consultants and requested area municipalities to provide
comments and recommendations by March 15, 2008.
As illustrated in Region of Durham's Report No. 2007-J-23 dated: June 12, 2007, the
cycling plan (via short and long term strategies) identifies financial and administrative
responsibilities for the creation of routes, both currently existing and future proposed
which link local municipal systems, transit routes and pedestrian corridors within public
lands and right-ot-ways to promote alternative modes of transportation.
As the Regional Cycling Plan Study initiative is nearing completion, the Region has
requested municipal comments. Having reviewed the document, staff noted that the
proposed cycling plan promotes corporate sustainability objectives and works towards
the creation of an efficient, affordable and accessible transportation environment. In
support of the Regional Cycling Plan, staff hereby presents an update on the study and
comments for information and endorsement prior to issuance to the Regional
Municipality of Durham-Works Department.

Financial Implications: The Regional Cycling Plan Study recommends that:
. the Region should fund the entire cost of all on-road cycling network segments on
Regional Roads
. the Region should contribute fifty percent of the cost for new or adjusted pavement
markings and cycling network signing for on-road routes falling under the
jurisdiction of local municipalities, and
. the Region should consider cost sharing off-road network segments on a project-
by-project basis, with other groups, such as local municipalities etc. when funding is
available
. Table 7-2 of the Regional Cycling Plan Study shows the proposed cost associated
to the City of Pickering as per Regional Cycling Plan:-

The total adjusted cost' for the City of Pickering (as proposed in the consultant's report)
is $3,378,205 for the period of 2008 to 2032 based on the following unit prices:

* Total Adjusted Cost = assumes Regional Cost Sharing Formula)
However, this cost does not include property acquisition and nor does it contain
structural improvement, utility relocations and/or environmental assessments (if
needed). The cost of all of these works could be significant depending on the facility
type. Although the plan includes a cost sharing strategy to encourage the
implementation of proposed regional network segments on lands not owned by the
Region, the cost sharing measures for off-road network segments on a project-by-
project basis, with other groups and local municipalities needs to be strengthened more
in detail.
While it is understood that there is a significant cost associated with the plan, the City of
Pickering will be reviewing proposed cycling plans recommended by Region and will
continue to work towards it as well as investigate alternative funding sources to assist in
financing the proposed Regional Cycling Plan.

Based on the above, it is evident that further investigation is necessary in order to look
at additional funding sources.
Sustainability Implications: The "Regional Cycling Plan Study" is planned to shape
an opportunity for future sustainable planning in Region of Durham. The goals of the
study promote energy efficient and environmentally conscious alternative modes of
transportation which mirror economic, environmental and social corporate sustainability
objectives. The study also recommends that Region of Durham should enhance its
commitment to bicycle safety programs. A more comprehensive effort by the Region will
be required to influence the public that cycling is not only a feasible mode of
transportation but a safe and more sustainable alternative to the automobile for short
distance trips.
Background: The Region of Durham through its various strategies desires to
establish a region-wide network of on and off-road cycling routes and facilities for
everyday transportation and enjoyment purposes. The need and justification of the
Regional Cycling Plan is also highlighted in Section 3.2.3 of the Region's Transportation
Master Plan (RTMP) recognizing that cycling and walking are sustainable and
environmentally friendly modes of transportation concentrating actively on the local
municipal road and path systems. The Region retained Marshall Macklin Monaghan as
their consultant to undertake the Regional Cycling Plan Study with an objective to
develop a 'Cycling Plan' across the Region integrated with local municipalities.
Regional Council on June 20, 2007 (via Report No. 2007-J-23) passed the Joint
Commissioner's Report on the Status of the Regional Cycling Plan Study which outlines
that cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transportation and is not only a popular
recreational activity but also an efficient, affordable and accessible mode of
transportation in today's world. On September 26, 2007 City received a copy of the
Regional Cycling Plan Study report and appendices prepared by Marshall Macklin
Monaghan for review and comments. The Region further requested municipal
comments and recommendations on the plan and plan implementation including
priorities and financing options by October 15, 2007. In response to Municipalities
request to extend the comments submission deadline, the regional staff further
requested area municipalities to provide comments and recommendations by March 15,
2008. Attachment #1 to this report provides a summary of the recommended routes in
the City of Pickering. Attachment #3 is a map of the proposed Regional Cycling Plan.
The City Staff had a comprehensive review and analyzed that a more comprehensive
effort by the Region will be required to influence the public that cycling is not only a
feasible mode of transportation but a safe and desirable alternative to the automobile
for short distance trips. Motorists and cyclists need to be better educated about how to
coexists on a shared facility which includes educating cyclists about proper use of the
bike lanes and to obey all traffic rules and regulations. The motorists in turn, should be
trained or educated not to pull into or park on the designated bike lanes and to be more

cautious and courteous around cyclists. The proposed plan which is recommended to
be implemented in two phases; short term (2008-2012) and long term (2013 - 2032) is
further categorized into the following three categories:-
Class 1 - Multi-Use Trails
The Region of Durham is planning to build 306 kilometers of multiuse trails within the
entire region in a span of twenty five years. As pointed out in the Region's Study, Multi
use trails will be facilities which are entirely separate from the traveled portion of a
roadway. They may be in the form of a boulevard trail in a public road right-of-way or
greenway/abandoned rail corridor.
Class 2 - Bike lanes and Paved Shoulder Bikeways
The Region is planning to build 122 kilometers of bike lanes and 341.70 kilometers of
paved shoulder bikeways within the entire region in a span of twenty five years. As
pointed out in the Region's Study, bike lanes and paved shoulder bikeways are located
in the traveled portion of the roadway and designed for one-way cyclist traffic. Bike
lanes are typically located on urban streets with curbs, and paved shoulders are
typically used to accommodate cyclists on rural cycling routes where no curbs exist.
Class 3 - Signed Only Routes
The Region is planning to build 538 kilometers of Signed Only Routes within the entire
region in a span of twenty five years. On-Road bicycle routes denoted strictly with
bicycle route signs and with no other physical changes to the roadway geometry as
pointed out in the cycling study of Durham. The users are to share the pavement with
motor vehicles and there are no special lane designations.
The proposed routes in the Regional Cycling Plan Study address the integration of
transportation network satisfactorily. More detail is required on how the proposed trails
and/or cycling routes are adjusted in location to integrate with desirable access points
within the existing and proposed neighbourhoods of the City within the cross regional
connectivity. The Cycling network should be integrated with other modes of
transportation particularly public transit which will help people to travel easily within and
between urban centers throughout the Region as well as access other parts of GTA,
and the report should strengthen a multi nodal system of interconnected trails which
could facilitate permeability among and thorough neighbourhoods. The study proposes
a lane space for bicyclists on the major street network where feasible but does not
highlight how a pedestrian from the bicycle networks will be integrated into the future
transportation planning. Such conflicts on trails can be a serious and a challenging
issue at the same time. The City of Pickering is of opinion that the Region should
develop some concrete strategies for the safety concerns and the pedestrians should
be considered as a part of every roadway environment. Attention must be paid to their
presence in rural as well as urban areas. Strategies should pertain to but not limited to:-
. Street surroundings that are perceived as unsafe to pedestrian due to crash risk of
bicycling, in other words bicycle and pedestrian collisions.
CORP0227 -07 /01 revised
Report OES- 07-08
May 12, 2008
Subject: Regional Cycling Plan

"
. Wide roads which are not easy for pedestrians to cross
. Insufficient lane space for bikes, etc.
City Staff recognizes multi use trails as an important tool in contributing non motorized
transport but would like to see more details on the multi usage trails design which is
built and maintained to minimize the conflicts between users. The study should also
indicate the maximum length of linkages between neighbourhoods and what will be the
measures adopted by the Region to avoid areas of high constraints while planning
these multi usage trails.
The proposed Cycling Plan is recommending that the City and Region should consider
purchasing a 10m swath of land adjacent to the south side of Highway 407 right-of-way
to ensure east-west connectivity for non-motorized travel. At this point of time the
captioned segment is being examined by the Province under Seaton's Natural Heritage
System (Master Trails Plan).
Similarly, the plan also recommends that the Region works closely with its respective
local municipalities to develop a strategic plan in creating Bicycle User Groups providing
advice and assistance to workplaces for developing a plan for provision of cycling trip
end facilities. However it does not clearly indicate what the Region's Policy will be on
end trip facilities or what strategy will be processed along with its financial implications.
The City of Pickering considers the Regional Cycling Plan as a sustainable strategy of
the Region of Durham and is willing to work with the Regional staff to shape it in a true
form of reality. However staff suggests that it needs further concentration on program
development and operations funding to ensure its successful implementation.
It is recommended that the Region should arrive with a broad and comprehensive
transportation plan focusing all the major concerns fully addressed and completely
integrated in local planning, design, and construction of the proposed cycling plan.
Moreover issues like reduced traffic congestion, road and parking facility savings,
reduced air and noise pollution, more efficient land use and last but not the least
financial savings be addressed in more detail.
The implementation strategy for the Proposed Cycling Plan identifies the phasing but
does not actually talk about priorities. This consideration must be emphasized. The
gaps should be identified in the local network followed by its remedial measures.
City Staff also proposes that the Region should certainly focus on psychosocial effects
on their proposed plan since certain patterns of transportation have a lot of effect on
human behavior including risk taking, aggressive behavior, etc.

The City Staff would like to carry out a detailed assessment of the proposed plan
associated to the financial implication. Also it is expected that a formal implementation
strategy needs to be developed by the Region of Durham identifying the cost of the
proposed network along with its priorities (short and long term) and an opportunity be
given to review the same.

Subject:
Bay Ridges Road Restoration
SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. Cost Sharing Agreement
Pre-Budget Approval for 2009
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES-11-08 regarding the Bay Ridges Road Restoration and SR&R
Bay Ridges Ltd. Cost Sharing Agreement be received; and
2. That the cost sharing estimate in the amount of $104,876.10 (GST extra) be
approved and included in the 2009 Capital Budget Road financing to be from
2009 current funds;
3. That the Development Agreement with SR&R Bay Ridges Limited be amended to
reflect the foregoing;
4. Further, that the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take
the necessary action to give effect thereto;
Executive Summary: In 2007, SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. proposed to re-develop the
Bay Ridges Plaza. The project known as San Francisco by the Bay was required by
The Region of Durham to replace portions of the existing sanitary sewer. The work to
replace the sanitary sewer commenced in the winter months but due to wet ground
conditions normal construction practices could not be implemented. In order to proceed
this spring with the project the developer will have to restore the entire roadway from
curb to curb. This restoration has far exceeded what was approved for the
development, thus the developer SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. is proposing a cost sharing
agreement as the City's contribution toward the complete cost of the roads restoration.
The developer wishes to proceed with the work now and wishes to have the cost
sharing agreement with the City in place beforehand. The City will not expend any
funds until 2009.

Financial Implications: In the 2009 Roads Capital Budget $105,000 will have to be
allocated for this project. Financing is anticipated to be from the 2009 current funds
most likely under the "Capital form Current" allocation.
Sustainability Implications: The new road works will improve the traffic flow in these
areas, enhancing the quality of life for the area residents.
The new road works have an estimated life expectancy of 25 years. The net result of
this will be lower maintenance costs and no further disturbance to the area residents for
a number of years.
Background: In 2007, SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. proposed to re-develop the Bay
Ridges Plaza. The project know as San Francisco by the Bay was required by The
Region of Durham to replace the existing sanitary sewer on Wharf Street (west of
Liverpool Road) Front Road (Annland Street to Browning Avenue) and Douglas Avenue
( Browning Avenue to Douglas Park). The work to replace the sanitary sewer
commenced in the Winter months but due to wet ground conditions normal construction
practices could not be implemented. In order to proceed with the project the developer
is proposing to excavate the entire road from curb to curb and replace it with a new
granular road base, new base asphalt and new top lift of asphalt. This restoration has
far exceeded what was approved for the development, thus the developer SR&R Bay
Ridges Ltd. is proposing a cost sharing arrangement with the City. The benefit to the
City will be new roads that should not require any major repairs or further disturbances
to the area residents for the next 20-25 years. The Developer is proposing a cost
sharing arrangement with the City which could be accommodated in the existing
Development Agreement as an amendment. The City would pay a percentage of the
cost for the granular road base, base asphalt and top lift of asphalt. The percentage
was determined by a consultant's review of the Developer's cost estimate on behalf of
the City. The City's consultants review of the Developer's original cost sharing
estimates can be found in attachment #1 which shows a reduction in the City's share of
the cost from approximately $192,000 to $105,000. The amendment to the
Development Agreement could identify the cost sharing and identify the maximum
payment of approximately $105,000.00 in 2009.
Upon review of the above documents staff recommends that the Development
Agreement with SR&R Bay Ridges Ltd. be amended to include the proposed cost
sharing agreement.

Attention:
Mr, Darrell Selsky
Re: San Francisco By The Bay
External Sanitary Sewer Proposed Road Improvement Cost Sharing
Dear Sir:
Further to your request, we have reviewed the proposal dated April 2nd, 2008 for cost sharing road
improvements as a result of the construction of an external sanitary sewer to service the San Francisco By
The Bay development.
Our comments are as follows:
1. We believe half of the roadway width (4.0 m)will be lost to the sanitary sewer construction not
2.5 m as indicated in the analysis. Therefore, contractor to pay the full cost of 4.0 m of the road
or 4/8 -= 50%. The City of Pickering and the Developer will share the cost of the remainder of
50%. Based on life expectancy of the road components, City' to pay 40% and 20% of the asphalt
and granular quantities respectively as shown on Page 1 oftne estimate attached.
2. The lowering of manholes and catchbasins and subsequent raising to top lift asphalt should not be
a City responsibility/cost. Without the sewer construction, Wt~ anticipate the City would
rehabilitate the streets by removing the road base materials and reinstating all in the same year.
The construction of the sanitary sewer trench results in the surface lift of asphalt being deferred
for one year to allow for differential settlements to occur before placement of the top lift asphalt.
3. Cold planning is required due to placing 100 mm HL-8, then planning to allow for HL-3
placement. This should not be a City responsibility/cost for the reasons stated in 2. above.
4. Roadway lengths have been revised for Browning Avenue and Douglas Avenue from Browning
Avenue to Holler A venue resulting in revised construction quantities.
The attached road reconstruction estimate has been revised accordingly to reflect the City's responsibility/
cost in accordance with our recommendations above.
If you have any questions on the foregoing, please contact the undersigned.
Yours very truly,
.~

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: OES 12-08
Date: May 12,12QQ8 g:;
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
Draft Pesticide Use By-law and Province of Ontario Bill 64
File: A-1440
Recommendations:
1. That Report OES 12-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services be
received; and
2. That the City of Pickering staff prepare comments to be issued to the Province of
Ontario as part of the Bill 64 public consultation process.
Executive Summary: On April 22, 2008 the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 64,
an Act to amend the Pesticides Act to prohibit the use and sale of pesticides that may
be used for cosmetic purposes. A copy of Bil/64 and Bil/64 Backgrounder is attached.
While the majority of the intent with Bill 64 was similar to the City of Pickering's draft
Pesticide Use By-law that was presented to Executive Committee (Report to Executive
Committee OES-OS-08 dated March 17, 2008) there were some possible differences.
The draft Pesticide Use By-law is attached. The most notable difference is the
Province's ability to prohibit the sale of pesticides for cosmetic purposes. In addition,
the City of Pickering's draft Pesticide Use By-law had included exemptions for lawn
bowling,greens, City sports fields, hard surfaces and insect infestations. The difficulty
in comparing Bill 64 to the City's draft Pesticide Use By-law is that Bill 64 does not
specifically identify these exemptions, however, there are sections that leave it open for
interpretation. These sections that are unclear at the moment will presumably be
clearer when the regulations are released. In an effort to ensure the final regulations
reflect the City's draft Pesticide Use By-law it is recommended that the City prepare a
letter to issue to the Province as part of the comment process. Comments must be
submitted to the Province of Ontario by May 22, 2008.

Financial Implications:
Recommendation #1: There are no financial implications.
Recommendation #2: There are no financial implications.
Sustainability Implications:
The implications of Bill 64 to sustainability are similar to those of the draft City of
Pickering Pesticide Use By-law. Pesticide restriction is a contentious issue. However,
as with any chemical, when misused pesticides can be a problem for both the
environment and human health. With regard to the economy, Bill 64 proposes to
prohibit the sale and use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes except for a few
exemptions including golf courses, forestry, agriculture, public safety and health. This
will obviously reduce pesticide sales and pesticide based services. At the same time
though, there will be an increased demand for alternative pest control products and for
lawn care service providers that offer non-pesticide reliant services. The City of
Pickering has already greatly reduced its use of pesticides. As a municipality, if the
regulations that result from Bill 64 do not offer exemptions for City sports fields, hard
surfaces and insect infestations, there will be a need to increase the use of alternative
products, as well as for resources to expand the current cultural practices.
Background: As directed by Council in November 2007, City staff implemented a
public consultation plan to solicit stakeholder and public feedback on the draft Pesticide
Use By-law. The March 17, 2008 Report to Executive Committee (OES 05-08)
outlined the results of the public consultation process, staff's recommendations and a
revised draft Pesticide Use By-law. At that point Executive Committee requested staff
to submit the draft Pesticide Use By-law to the Province of Ontario. Executive
Committee also requested that staff provide an update as to the status of the Provincial
pesticide legislation as well as more detail about the enforcement costs associated with
a municipal by-law.
On April 9, 2008 staff submitted a Memorandum (0-9000) indicating that the City of
Pickering's draft Pesticide Use By-law had been submitted to the Province and what the
status of the legislation was at that time. On April 22, 2008 the Province of Ontario
introduced Bill 64, an Act to amend the Pesticide Act to prohibit the use and sale of
pesticides that may be used for cosmetic purposes. The public comment period for Bill
64 concludes on May 22, 2008. Bill 64 indicates that a municipal pesticide by-law will
be inoperative if it addresses the use, sale or transfer of a pesticide used for cosmetic
purposes. Therefore, there is no reason to submit a report regarding the cost of
enforcement.

This report serves to identify the possible differences between the City of Pickering's
draft Pesticide Use By-law and Bill 64. Since the possible regulations associated with
Bill 64 have not been issued, differences can only be identified by omission. This
includes the following:
The main difference is the Province's ability to regulate the sale of pesticides.
Prohibiting the sale of pesticides for cosmetic use will greatly improve the ability
to enforce the pesticide use regulation.
Bill 64 includes a provision to allow golf courses the ability under certain
circumstances to apply pesticides, however, it does not list lawn bowling greens.
The City's draft Pesticide Use By-law included an exemption for lawn bowling
greens.
Bill 64 does not include a clear provision to allow municipalities to spot spray on
warning tracks and City managed sports fields if 30 percent threshold of non-
qualified turf is identified. The City's draft Pesticide Use By-law included an
exemption for this situation. Bill 64 does include a general exemption for "uses
related to public health and safety". In discussion with City staff, it was
communicated that failing to remove weeds from warning tracks poses a safety
concern. In addition, staff indicated that spot applications on sports fields if the
presence of non-qualified sports turf exceeds 30 percent was strictly for safety
reasons. Failing to remove weeds increases the risk factor and liability for
athletes. If the weed population in a sports field is greater than 50 percent, for
safety reasons, a complete rehabilitation of all the turf on that field will be
required. This will have significant cost implications as well as impact sport
teams' ability to use the fields. Under the draft Pesticide Use By-law, spot
applications were to be used as a last resort and not in place of cultural
practices. At this time we can not assume what the future regulation will
stipulate as to what is meant by Bill 64's reference to "uses related to public
health and safety".
Bill 64 does not include an exemption for hard surfaces. The City's draft
Pesticide Use By-law included an exemption for this situation. The ability to use
spot treatments on hard surfaces was from a financial perspective, not a health
and safety matter. The City has a very large area of hard surfaces to maintain
and does not have the resources at this time to be able to treat the weeds using
alternative methods.
Bill 64 does not include an exemption for general insect infestation in turf. There
is an exemption within Bill 64 for insects in relation to Forestry, managing West
Nile Virus, Agriculture and stinging insects. The City's draft Pesticide Use By-
law included an exemption for situations where there was a presence of insects
in number or conditions that involved an immediate or potential risk of substantial
loss or damage to property.

law included an exemption for situations where there was a presence of insects
in number or conditions that involved an immediate or potential risk of
substantial loss or damage to property.
The specifics regarding enforcement and who will enforce the legislation has not been
indicated. Information regarding how the phase-in of the legislation will be carried out
has not been released.
Staff recommend that comments be submitted to the Province of Ontario requesting
that upon development of the regulations, considerations be given to provide
exemptions as outlined above for lawn bowling greens, municipalities to spot spray on
warning tracks, municipalities to spot treat sport fields if 30 percent threshold of non-
qualified turf is identified, municipalities to spot treat hard surfaces and insect
infestations.

The Proposed Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act
The Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act would, if passed, amend the Pesticides Act and give the
province the authority to:
· Ban the use and sale of pesticides, which include herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, for
cosmetic purposes
· Make exceptions for agriculture, forestry, health or safety, and golf courses, with conditions
· Supercede existing municipal cosmetic pesticides by-laws.
The proposed ban is part of the McGuinty government's toxic reduction strategy to reduce
pollution and protect families from toxic chemicals.
If the legislation is enacted, pesticide products and active ingredients that would be subject to
the sale and use bans will be determined in consultation with Ontarians and detailed in a
regulation. A preliminary list of pesticides has been developed to promote discussion about the
types of pesticides that could be prescribed for the sale and the use bans. It is available at
www.ontario.ca/pesticides. The regulation would also:
· Define the exceptions that will be made for agriculture and forestry
· Prescribe other excepted uses (for health or safety issues, for example)
· Outline the conditions which would allow golf courses to continue pesticide use.
Exceptions are proposed for the agriculture and forestry sectors to protect and enhance food
production and our forests, plus there are already strict rules on their use and storage.
Reducing unnecessary risk to children
Children's smaller size and greater exploratory behaviour make them more likely to come into
direct contact with pesticide residues in the environment, and once exposed, they are generally
more susceptible to the potential toxic effects of pesticides because of their immature stage of
development.
Many studies have identified pesticides and other chemicals in human tissues and fluids,
including those of infants. The proposed legislation takes a prudent approach to reduce
potential risk, especially to the most vulnerable members of society, from the cosmetic use of
pesticides.
One set of rules for the province
The province's proposal to overrule existing municipal cosmetic pesticides by-laws is to ensure
all Ontarians are protected regardless of where they live.
The proposed legislation also goes beyond the 'use' to include the sale of cosmetic pesticides,
and provides a level of consistency and regulatory certainty for residents and for businesses
operating in different areas of the province.

Current pesticides legislation
All pesticides imported into, sold or used in Canada are regulated nationally under the federal
Pest Control Products Act.
The Ontario Pesticides Act and Regulation 914 provide the province's regulatory framework for
pesticide management. The Ministry of the Environment, through this legislation, regulates the
sale, use, transportation, storage and disposal of pesticides. It issues pesticide applicator,
operator and vendor licenses, monitors compliance and enforces the regulation. Mainly through
outreach and education, as well as training, the ministry provides direction on the responsible
use of pesticides and encourages and promotes reduced reliance on pesticides.
The province's toxic reduction strategy
The Ontario government is committed to developing a comprehensive toxic reduction strategy,
the legislation to support it and to ensuring that the public is kept informed of health and
environmental hazards.
It will work with Cancer Care Ontario and the Ontario Medical Association to identify, target and
reduce the number of cancer-causing agents released in the environment; and work to support
the development and installation of new technologies to reduce industry reliance on toxic
chemicals.

Questions and Answers on
Banning Pesticides for Cosmetic Purposes
Why is the government introducing a ban on the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides?
· The McGuinty government is committed to reducing Ontarians' exposure to toxic chemicals
in our air, water, land and consumer products.
· The use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes is an unnecessary risk to human health,
particularly children's health.
· Children's smaller size and greater exploratory behaviour make them more likely to come
into direct contact with pesticide residues in the environment. Once exposed, they are
generally more susceptible to the potential toxic effects of pesticides because of their
immature stage of development.
· Banning the sale, as well as the use, is the strongest possible approach to eliminating
pesticides for cosmetic purposes since they will not be available for people to buy. A ban on
the sale is strongly supported by environmental and health groups as well as the general
public.
What does the legislation do?-
. If enacted, it will:
Prohibit the use and sale of pesticides for cosmetic or non-essential
purposes (the list of pesticide products and active ingredients would be
specified in a regulation to come at a later date)
Make exceptions for agriculture, forestry, the promotion of public health or
safety and golf courses
supercede municipal pesticide by-laws for cosmetic purposes.
· If enacted, the legislation would give the province the authority to make regulations. The
regulations would identify the pesticides which would be prohibited, define the exceptions to
the use ban, and identify any conditions attached to the exceptions.

Why does the Bill provide exceptions for certain sectors?
.. The intent of the proposed legislation is to prohibit the unnecessary use of pesticides to
protect human health, especially children's health.
· Exceptions are being proposed for the agriculture and forestry sectors to protect and
enhance food production and our forests, plus there are already strict rules on their use and
storage.
· Golf courses are excepted because of their specialized nature, but only if certain conditions
are met. These would be detailed in a regulation that would be made detailing the specifics
of the ban, if the legislation is enacted.
· There will be exceptions for health and safety reasons, too. Some examples might be to
manage mosquitoes which can carry the West Nile Virus, or to control stinging insects or
poison ivy, or products that protect the health of pets.
Are rural residents included?
· Yes. The intent of the proposed legislation is to protect human health, especially children's
health, regardless of where children may live in the province.
When will the ban take effect?
· The timing depends on the passing of the legislation by the Legislature of Ontario.
· If passed, a draft regulation would be developed and posted for public consultation. The
draft regulation would include proposed timing for implementation.
What will happen to existing municipal pesticide by-laws?
· The government's proposed ban builds on the leadership shown by those municipalities that
introduced bans or imposed restrictions on cosmetic pesticides over the past several
months.
· It's important, however, to extend that protection to all children and families regardless of
where they live. That's why the government is introducing one comprehensive ban for the
province.

Proposed Legislation to Ban the Use of Pesticides for Cosmetic Purposes
The Minister of the Environment introduced the Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act in the Legislature of Ontario on April 22, 2008. The bill contains
provisions that would ban the use and sale of certain prescribed pesticides in Ontario. The bill also contains proposed regulation making authority
for the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulations prescribing pesticides to which the use and sale bans contained in the Bill would apply.
Accordingly, if the bill is enacted, a regulation may be made prescribing such pesticides.

Report Number: CS 08-08
Date: May 12, 2008
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Seaton and City Development Charge and Financial Impact Studies
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 08-08 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the provisions of the City's Purchasing Policy, Item 04.09 be waived and the
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to engage the firm of
Watson & Associates Economists for the Development Charge and Financial
Impact Studies as provided for in the 2008 Current Budget and as discussed in
this report; and,
3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the
necessary actions to give effect hereto.
Executive Summary: It is now appropriate time to commence the City's
responsibilities in regards to the Seaton Financial Impact Study (previously approved by
Council), the Seaton Development Charge Study and the periodic review and update of
the City's Development Charge Study. The City wide Financial Impact Study will
incorporate all aspects of the above referenced studies. The Seaton project or
development is at a stage where the City should commence the various financial
studies including development charges. The Seaton Development Charge and related
financial studies will provide the City information and options to assist Council in making
decisions. The dollar value of these studies is estimated to be $136,000 and the City's
Purchasing Policy, Item 04.09 indicates the acquisition of consulting and professional
services for this dollar value may also be made through the Request for Proposal
process. Therefore, Council approval is requested to waive the Policy requirement in
order to engage the firm of Watson & Associates. However, where it is felt beneficial
for business reasons to not undertake this process and to work with a particular
company, Council may so direct. Given the previous financial studies undertaken by
this company for the City and the Region, it is beneficial both financially and from a
business perspective to continue that relationship with future studies.

Financial Implications: Financing for these studies will be provided through several
sources, as provided for by Council in recent Current Budgets and in the proposed
2008 Current Budget as explained below in the Background section of this report.
The total estimated cost of all four studies is $136,000 which will be financed from the
Development Charge Reserve Fund and the Continuing Studies Reserve. Additionally,
$40,000 was provided in the 2008 Current Budget for the study of financing,
partnerships and other aspects of the Duffin Heights Community Facility.
Sustainability Implications: In the City's efforts to achieve short and longer term
financial stability and sustainability, these studies are crucial.
Background: The firm of Watson & Associates is recommended as they have
undertaken the 1999 and 2004 development charges studies. This firm is also
undertaking all similar studies for the Region and therefore, there will be benefits both
to the Region and the City by using the same consultant. By continuing to use this firm,
the City maintains the continuity of information and practices and avoids any learning
curve/cost for any new consultant. Moreover, in 2005, when it was anticipated the
Seaton Financial Impact Study would commence, under Resolution 128/05 Council
approved hiring this firm for that study. It is now time to commence all of these financial
studies, as some of the development data is becoming available.
The Development Charges Act states that development charge by-law expires after five
years and since the last study was undertaken in the summer of 2004, the new study
must be completed no later than summer 2009. The Seaton Financial Impact Study
and the Seaton DC Study should also commence now as they are integral parts of the
City study.
Growth Pays for Growth
Until recently, the financing of municipal infrastructure was becoming more challenging
as the Provincial Government devolved its responsibility for infrastructure development
to municipalities. The only two alternatives for funding infrastructure development was
through the property tax base or development charges. Many of the projects related to
growth are now basically financed through development charges to varying levels. The
portion of growth costs not funded or captured by development charges is financed
through the property tax base. The two proposed development charges studies
(Seaton and City) will provide the City the opportunity to adopt or move closer towards a
"growth pays for growth" philosophy or policy. The (DC) study and the supporting
documentation will allow the City to formulate a development charge rate that will allow
the City the maximum recovery allowed in the legislation. Changes to the legislation, if
deemed beneficial may also be explored.

Given the importance and magnitude of the above mentioned studies, a City wide
Financial Impact Study and Forecast will be necessary and beneficial. The terms and
conditions of the engagement of Watson & Associates will provide for all such studies.
The studies will be as follows:
. Seaton Financial Impact Study
. Seaton Development Charge Study
. City Development Charge Study
. City Financial Impact Study
. Community Facilities Study
The financial portion of a Community Facilities Study is to provide assistance to staff in
reviewing the financing and financial impact of various proposals, including possible
partnerships, with the development of this facility. Work will be undertaken as the need
arises. A total of $40,000 has been provided in the 2008 Current Budget - General
Government Purchase of Services for the various studies that may be required. The
budget indicates a Duffin Heights facility but it is possible that other areas of the City
could also be considered.

Report Number: CS 15-08
Date: May 12, 2008

From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Development Charges Reserve Fund - Statement of the Treasurer for
2007
Recommendation: That Report CS 15-08 of the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer respecting the Development Charges Reserve Fund be received and
forwarded to Council for information.
Executive Summary: Section 43 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 (Act)
requires that the Treasurer furnish to Council a Statement in respect of each Reserve
Fund (i.e. for each Development Charge) established under Section 33 of the Act.
Accordingly, the enclosed Attachments 1 to 6 details the activity in the Development
Charges Reserve Fund for the year ended December 31, 2007 in the manner as
prescribed by the Act. As required under Section 43(3) of the Act, the Treasurer will be
forwarding a copy of this same Statement to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing within 60 days upon furnishing the Statement to the Council.
Financial Implications:
report.
There are no financial implications associated with this
Sustainability Implications: The availability of funding from Development Charges
Reserve Funds assists in sustaining infrastructure related to growth.
Background: Funds are not transferred out of the Development Charges Reserve
Fund for projects until the funds are actually needed, as required under accounting
rules, which ensures that the Reserve Fund continues to earn interest income on these
unspent monies until such time that the actual expense is incurred. Attachment 1
presents the total Reserve Fund balance under "Fund Balance - Prior to Budget
Commitments" of $23,528,008. Taking into account the "Budget Commitments" as at
December 31, 2007 of $3,664,630 the "Fund Balance - After Budget Commitments"
available for future expenditures is $19,863,378.

The development charges collected in 2007 were $1,457,284 a decrease of 18% from
amounts collected in 2006 ($1,782,148). Despite an economic condition of low interest
rates and a booming building industry, there is a decrease in the amount collected due
in part to the limited land available for development in Pickering. Attachment 2 provides
a chart showing the 10-year historical pattern of the development charges collected,
notably the sharp decline starting from 2005 and continuing in 2007 compared to those
collected in 2003 and 2004 due to the point mentioned above. The cumulative total
collected for this 1 O-year period was $24,362,224.
The 2007 budgeted funding and revision due to aES 41-07 from this Reserve Fund
was $1,229,990 as detailed on Attachment 3.
The capital expenditures actually incurred in 2007 that were funded from this Reserve
Fund amounted to $1,240,523 (see Attachment 4). These expenditures pertained to
capital projects approved in 2000 to 2007. Attachment 4 provides a summary by
projects of these capital expenditures funded by development charges and other
sources as prescribed by a.Reg. 82/98 Section 12(3).
In 2007, the City undertook additional internal loans of $597,000 from this Reserve
Fund. Attachment 5 provides detailed information on the 2007 internal borrowings and
the purpose for which it was borrowed as prescribed by a.Reg. 82/98 Section 12(2)3.
Interest and principal repayments on 2007 internal loans will commence in 2008. As of
December 31, 2007, the total outstanding internal loans undertaken from 2001 to 2007
are $3,891,812 (see Attachment 6).
Please note that the principal and interest of $1,311,291 paid in 2007 and as indicated
in Attachment 6 are related to 2001 to 2006 internal loans. This amount was funded
from the general tax levy. This Attachment also provides a summary of amount and
source of any money used by the municipality to repay money borrowed from the fund
and interest on such money as required by a.Reg. 82/98 Section 12(2)4,5.
Caution has to be used when budgeting for draws for capital projects due to the limited
availability of land in Pickering and the uncertainty of economic times ahead of us.

Date: May 12, 2008
From:
Gillis A. Paterson

Subject:
Section 357/358 of the Municipal Act- Adjustment to Taxes

1. That Report CS 17-08 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
received;
2. That the write-ofts 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

Executive Summary:
Not Applicable
Financial Implications: If approved, the write-oft of taxes as contained in this report
represents a gross cost of $28,151.10 with a net cost to the City of approximately
$4,980.85, the balance being charged back to the Region of Durham and the School

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
Section 357 of the Municipal Act, reduction of taxes due to fire, demolition, exemption,
assessment change or error is allowed for the current year only. Section 358 of the
Municipal Act, allows for the reduction of taxes due to assessment error and this
section can be applied to property taxes for the two preceding years.
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.
One property reflects "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 the assessment reduction request. After
completing their investigation, they have reached the conclusion that the property does
not warrant a reduction in assessment and corresponding adjustment in property taxes.
If the property owner does not agree with MPAC's recommendation, they have the right
to appeal to the Assessment Review Board under section 357(7) of the Municipal Act,
2001.

Financial Implications: Adoption of the recommendations and passing the By-law
will allow staff of the Corporate Services Department to bill the Final 2008 levy for all
properties except for the industrial, commercial and multi-residential tax classes.
Passing of the by-law will assist the City of Pickering to meet its financial obligations
and reduce any borrowing costs.
Sustainability Implications: Passing the attached By-law will allow the City to obtain
the funds required to maintain it's financial sustainability objectives.
Background:
components:
The 2008 final tax billing process will consist of two separate
1. residential and residential related (farm, managed forest) properties; and,
2. commercial, industrial and multi-residential realty classes.
Later this year, a report will be presented to Council asking for Council's approval to bill
the non-residential tax classes. The non-residential tax classes are subject to tax
capping and Pickering's staff in conjunction with the other lower tier municipal tax staff
and the Region's finance staff will be working on the tax capping calculations during the
summer.
City's Net Tax Levy and Tax Rate Increase
On April 21, 2008, City Council approved Report CS 14-08 of the Director, Corporate
Services & Treasurer that provided for a budgetary increase of 5.9% with a
corresponding property tax levy of $40,512,858. The budgetary levy increase is applied
to the "City portion" of the property tax bill.
Re-Assessment Update Cancelled By Province
When property tax reform was introduced in 1998, one of the major improvements to
the existing system was the implementation of regular province-wide re-assessments.
The Province implemented a re-assessment for the 2006 property taxation year based
upon property values as of January 1, 2005 (from the previous valuation base of June
30,2003). The planned reassessment update of all properties in Ontario was cancelled
for the 2007 & 2008 tax years, and therefore, the valuation date used to calculate the
2008 taxes will remain as January 1, 2005.

During the last few years, taxation staff have noticed that there has been a substantial
request for tax bill reprints around the June 30th date due to the large number of homes
being sold at this time. Last year, taxation staff reprinted approximately 500 tax bills
between June 15 to July 15 mainly due to sales transactions. The cost of producing
and mailing of the reprinted tax bill is estimated to be ten dollars. Taxation staff will
continue to monitor this situation and may have to adjust the tax bill due date to mid
June for future years.
Other
Recommendations 2 and 3 provide for the levying of all tax rates on all classes of
property except for the non-residential properties where the tax rates and the property
taxes will be billed at a later date because the claw back percentages have not yet been
determined. Staff have received advice that the claw back percentages should be
included in the billing By-law. Therefore, staff will bring a separate report to Council
regarding the non-residential tax rates and tax billing hopefully for Council's summer
meeting. Staffs preliminary estimate for the final non-residential due date is October
15,2008.
ChanQes to the BillinQ Schedule
Recommendation 5 and 6, will allow the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer some
latitude, limited by Provincial legislation, in effecting whatever may be necessary in
order to ensure that the taxes are billed properly and in a timely fashion. It was always
staff's understanding that Recommendation 5 would be used to change the due dates
by a few days in order to meet Provincial legislation requirements. (Section 343,
subsection one of the Municipal Act states the property owner must have at least
twenty-one days to pay their taxes). A report would be prepared to Council if there was
a substantial delay in the billing of the final taxes.

Report Number: CS 19-08
Date: May 12, 2008
1 29
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved Capital Project -
External Borrowing Through the Issuance of Debentures
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 19-08 from the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
approved;
2. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to:
a) undertake long term financing through the issuance of debentures through
the Regional Municipality of Durham up to a maximum amount of $630,000
for a period not exceeding 15 years for the Ice Rink 2 Renovations at the
Don Beer Arena;
b) undertake the financing of this project or portions thereof that cannot be

institution offering long term financing under similar terms and conditions;
c) make any changes, adjustments, and revisions to amounts, terms and
conditions or any other actions necessary in order to effect the above
directions of Council;

$5,000 be charged to the 2008 Current Budget, General Government-Annual
Charges Debentures & Loans Repayment;
4. That the estimated annual repayment costs of principal and interest amounting to
approximately $65,000 be included in the 2009 Current Budget and thereafter until

6. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to engage the
services of any individual or firm, legal or otherwise, necessary to assist in the
preparation of documentation, completion of an undertaking and any other
aspects in regards to the financing of capital projects;
7. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to apply any
excess proceeds raised to other capital projects for which long-term financing is
required, as is permitted under the Municipal Act, 2001;
8. That the attached draft by-law, providing for the authorization for the issuance of
debentures, be enacted; and,
9. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be given authority to give
effect thereto.
Executive Summary: At the time of writing, the Regional Municipality of Durham
has indicated the possibility of going to the market in the spring/summer of 2008. This
Report to Council serves to seek Council approval in order to provide formal
documentation to the Regional Municipality of Durham and to enact a by-law for the
authorization for the issuance of debentures for the Don Beer Arena Ice Rink 2
Renovations.
The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has certified that this loan and the
repayment thereof falls within the City's Debt and Financial Obligations approved
Annual Repayment Limit for debt and other financial obligations for 2008 as established
by the Province for municipalities in Ontario.
Financial Implications: If the Regional Municipality of Durham proceeds with the
official issue sometime in the spring/summer, the City would be liable for at least six
months of interest payment for 2008. Though this debenture issue was not included in
the provision for 2008 annual charges, there will be sufficient funds budgeted as annual
(one principal and two interest) payments for the forthcoming Council approved
$4,410,000 debentures issue. It is unlikely that the annual provision be required due to
the timing of the issue (a maximum of six months of interest).
As per Report to Council OES 10-08, the balance amount of $3,200 will be funded from
the 2008 Current Budget.

May 12, 2008
Subject: Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved Page 3
Don Beer Arena Rink 2 Renovations- External Borrowing Through the
Issuance of Debentures '1 ,s'l
Sustainability Implications: This financing is necessary to provide the financial
means to sustain the City's capital investments in infrastructure.
Background: While long term financing (internal and external) was always
generally approved by Council during the annual capital budgeting process and/or
through specific reports, there has never been a specific formal approval by the Council
for capital projects requiring such financing with the terms and conditions being
specified in detail. This formal request by Council is normally done by Corporate
SeNices on an annual basis every fall and request to enact the debenture by-laws be
done at the same time. At the time of writing, the Regional Municipality of Durham has
indicated the possibility of going to the market in the spring/summer of 2008. This
Report to Council seNes to seek Council approval in order to provide formal
documentation to the Regional Municipality of Durham for the issuance of debentures
for the Don Beer Arena Ice Rink 2 Renovations (OES10-08).
Normally, all external debentures requested by an area municipality are issued through
the Regional Municipality of Durham. However, if there may be other more cost
effective means of financing available, the Treasurer may resort to these alternatives.
Alternate financing may be desirable or necessary for some portions of the City's
requirements. The Recommendations allow for the best course of action to take place.
The recommendations also provide a limited degree of flexibility in the event that the
documentation for projects or portions thereof is insufficient to meet the legal
requirements for a debenture issue in that the project can then be financed through
other means. They also provide for some flexibility with the treatment of excess
proceeds that may be raised as a result of the market conditions (i.e. issued as a
premium) or excess funds resulting once project costs are complete and final.
The costs of financing of approximately $5,000 have been included in the 2008 Current
Budget. This cost represents commissions, legal fees, and registration for debentures
with the Canadian Depository for Securities (C.D.S.) and any discount upon sale.

From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
2008 Annual Repayment Limit for Debt and Financial Obligations
Recommendation:
That Report CS 21-08 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer regarding the
2008 Annual Repayment Limit for Debt and Financial Obligations be received for
information.
Executive Summary: Not applicable
Financial Implications: Not applicable
Sustainability Implications: An update to the Annual Repayment Limit is required to
determine the annual repayment limit for both internal and external borrowings. This
update is required to enable the City to borrow externally.
Background: Recently, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH)
provided information regarding the City's 2008 Debt and Obligation Repayment Limit.
Debt for these purposes includes all forms of loans, leases and other long term financial
obligations and commitments. The 2008 Annual Repayment Limit (ARL) was
calculated based on 25 percent of 2006 net own-source revenues as reported in City of
Pickering's 2006 Financial Information Report (FIR) submitted to the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH). The FIR was prepared in conjunction with the
annual financial statements. Own-source revenues represent generally the
discretionary revenues of a municipality including property taxes, user fees, licenses
and fines and exclude all grants, internal transfers and extraordinary items such as the
one time sale of land or other fixed assets and non-discretionary items such as
development charges.
The calculated 2008 ARL based on 25% of net revenue fund, after taking into account
net debt charges reported to MMAH is $10,185,630. This is based upon the 2006
Financial Information Return. Based on the 2008 Budget, the total annual principal and
interest charges and all other financial obligations as recorded in the City's books are
$3,670,300 out of which $2,599,802 for the annual charges has been reported to the
Report CS 21-08
May 12, 2008
Subject: 2008 Annual Repayment Limit for Debt
and Financial Obligations
Page 2
'"I < /_,~
<-..1 '-
MMAH as required. Taking into account the difference of $1,070,498 ($3,670,300 -
$2,599,802), being the amount included in the City's books for annual charges
pertaining to borrowings from 2006 to 2008 ($987,120), and the balance ($83,378) for
photocopiers contracts, internal telephone financing and dealer financing of a small
vehicle, the net ARL available for 2008 would have to be reduced to $9,115,132.
The net ARL of $9,115,132 for 2008, as adjusted, represents the maximum additional
principal and interest payment for the year that could be undertaken without Ontario
Municipal Board approval. This calculation does not measure affordability nor take into
account other commitments the City may have and the need to change levels of service
or raise property taxes to maintain the debt repayment amount. This limit represents the
maximum amount which the municipality has available for approval and certification by
the Treasurer as of December 31, 2007 to commit to payments relating to debt and
financial obligations. The limit is effective January 1, 2008.
For illustration purposes, if the City could borrow at 7%, the rate used by MMAH in the
calculation, the net ARL of $9,115,132 would allow it to undertake additional long term
borrowing as follows:
Terms
a) 5 years
b) 10 years
c) 15 years
d) 20 years

Dear Municipal Treasurer, Clerk/Treasurer:

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: OES 13-08
Date: May 12, 2008
From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
No Parking By-law, Sunrise Avenue,
Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 13-08 of the Director, Operations & Emergency Services
regarding a proposed amendment to the municipal traffic by-law 6604/05 be
received; and
2. That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "2" to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulation of parking on highways or parts of highways
under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering and on private
and municipal property.
Executive Summary: In response to concerns with roadway traffic flow, poor
sightlines and driveway access difficulties due to vehicular on street school bus parking
on Sunrise Avenue, the City was asked to implement No Parking restrictions in order to
ensure a clear travel path and unobstructed visibility. Having completed the review,
staff support the request and hereby propose to amend the existing municipal traffic by-
law as per the changes attached.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs is
estimated to cost approximately $300 and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to and the recommendations
as generated by staff address traffic safety issues within the Corporate Healthy society
objectives.
Report OES 13-08
May 12, 2008
Subject: No Parking By-law, Sunrise Avenue
Page 2
Background: In October of 2007, MP&E staff were asked via the
corporate Customer Care Centre to respond to traffic operational concerns from a
resident on Sunrise Avenue. Specifically, municipal staff were requested to investigate
and implement No Parking restrictions along the south side of Sunrise Avenue (as
shown on the attached sketch) as a means of addressing difficulties caused by on
street parking. Specifically school buses destined for the Frenchman's Bay Public
School were using the south side of Sunrise Avenue as a temporary staging area in the
afternoons prior to student pickup. As the portion of Sunrise Avenue from West Shore
Boulevard to Chipmunk Street has a slightly narrower pavement width, the resident
noted driveway access difficulties.
A municipal community consultation notice was issued on November 12, 2007. The
notice generated a singular reply noting ambivalence to on street parking controls.
Given the lack of community direction, City staff contacted the 6 affected residents
individually all of whom noted support for the controls as proposed.
Consequently, staff in recognition of the community support recommend that the
municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect No Parking on the south side of
Sunrise Avenue from West Shore Boulevard to Chipmunk Street (see sketch attached).
The corresponding draft By-law amendment is attached.
