Report CAO 01-07
January 22, 2007
Subject: Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge Project
U02
Page 2
Executive Summary:
This Report provides an update on the Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge project,
including the environmental assessment and design work that has been completed to
date, an update on the proposed northerly abutting Pickering Town Centre office tower,
and staff's proposed 2007 work program.
The proposed 2007 work program includes completion of the remaining background
investigations, finalizing the bridge design, and obtaining all necessary approvals and
agreements from affected parties, including the Ministry of Transportation, GO-Transit,
CN Rail, and Pickering Town Centre / 20 Vic Management.
The Report also provides an update on estimated construction costs for the bridge.
Costs have risen appreciably since the project was first conceived. Staff are very
concerned about these increased costs, and will report back to Council at a later date
on this matter, including opportunities for costs savings, as well as potential additional
funding opportunities, sources and/or partners.
The Report does not recommend bridge construction at this time. Based on the 2007
work program, and the need to coordinate bridge construction with the development of
the northerly abutting office tower, the City will not be in a position to consider bridge
construction until the spring of 2008 at the earliest. A separate report to Council will be
provided at a later date with respect to the timing of bridge construction.
Financial Implications:
In 2005, Council approved the hiring of Totten Sims Hubicki to commence the required
environmental assessment and design work associated with the Highway 401
Pedestrian Bridge project. To date, approximately $125,000 has been spent of the
$300,000 set aside for design work. The remaining funds (approximately $175,000) are
sufficient to complete the proposed 2007 work program. Accordingly, there are no new
financial implications associated with this Report.
However, for information purposes, it should be noted that total construction costs have
risen appreciably since this project was first proposed a number of years ago.
Construction costs are now estimated to be between $7 and $8 million. More detail on
estimated costs is provided in this Report.
It should also be noted that the provincial Ministry of Transportation remains committed
to providing the City with a grant of up to $1.067 million to assist with the Highway 401
Pedestrian Bridge project. Discussions will continue with the Ministry through 2007,
and a subsequent report to Council will be provided with respect to provincial funding
assistance, as well as any other potential funding partners, sources or opportunities that
may become available.

Furthermore, because the City will not be in a position to construct the bridge until at
least 2008 (at the earliest), staff will not be recommending that Council make provision
in the 2007 budget for construction of the bridge. Among other things, this will free-up
approximately $1,053,000 in federal gas tax revenue for use on other gas tax qualifying
projects.
Sustainability Implications:
The Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge is an excellent example of a project that balances
and integrates the City's five sustainability objectives. It relates directly to all five
Sustainable Pickering objectives.
. It will support increased local and interregional transit use, thereby helping
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality (healthy environment).
. It will improve pedestrian safety, encourage walking and be designed as a fully
accessible structure (healthy society).
. It will be connected directly to an office tower to be constructed on the Pickering
Town Centre site, and will act as a catalyst to other major office development in
the downtown (healthy economy).
. It is consistent with the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
and will support and facilitate downtown intensification (responsible
development)
. It will be designed with consideration for green technology including recycled
materials, high efficiency glazing, low energy lighting, and solar and wind
technology (responsible consumption)
Furthermore, a Class Environmental Assessment has been completed for the Bridge
Project and no significant environmental, social or economic trade-offs were made in
arriving at the preferred design.
Background:
This Report provides an update on the Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge project,
including the environmental assessment process, preliminary design work, status of the
abutting office tower on the Pickering Town Centre shopping mall site, recent cost
estimates, and the proposed 2007 work program.
Environmental Assessment
The Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge requires the completion of a Schedule "C" Class
Environmental Assessment in accordance with the Municipal Class Assessment
process. Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) assisted the City in carrying out the assessment.
In December 2006, a final draft of the Environment Study Report (ESR) for the bridge
was completed. The final draft is available for viewing through the CAO's Office.
Report CAG 01-07
C04Subject: Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge Project
January 22, 2007
Page 4
Staff is requesting Council's authorization to file the ESR with the Ministry of the
Environment. Once filed, a 30-day review period would follow. During this period,
copies of the ESR would be made available for public review through the Clerk's
Division, at the Central Library and on the City's website.
If no outstanding concerns are brought forward during the review period, the ESR would
be approved, and the City would have up to five years to commence construction. If
construction is not started within five years, the City would have to review the planning
and design of the bridge, and file an addendum to the ESR.
Preferred Bridqe Desiqn
The ESR concluded that the preferred solution for improving non-motorized travel
between the GO-Train station and Pickering's downtown is the construction of a new
pedestrian bridge over Highway 401. Key elements of the preferred design, as outlined
in the ESR, are described below.
. An enclosed "truss-type" bridge span, with concrete deck, glass curtain walls and
metal or membrane roofing, aligned over the existing Highway 401 footings.
. Terminal buildings at both ends of the bridge, accessed by stairs and elevator.
. South terminal building on the GO-Train site between the bus loop and the
platform.
. North terminal building either within the Pickering Parkway road allowance or on
the adjacent Pickering Town Centre (PTC) lands.
. Bridge directly connected to, or integrated with, an office tower to be constructed
by others on the PTC lands.
. Barrier free design incorporating green technologies.
Updated Cost Estimates
A draft Structural Report was prepared by TSH as part of the environmental
assessment work. The Structural Report examined different structural design
alternatives, looked at the costs associated with these alternatives, and recommended
a preferred design.
Three structural alternatives were evaluated: (i) box design, (ii) trapezoidal design and
(iii) arch design. The trapezoidal design was selected as the preferred option because
of its improved aesthetics compared with the less attractive (and slightly cheaper) box
design. The more aesthetic arch design was not selected as it was the most expensive
to construct, and because it would have required a strengthening of the existing
footings within the Highway 401 allowance.
The preferred bridge concept is shown below. Additional detailing and architectural
enhancements will be incorporated through the detailed design phase.

January 22, 2007
C05
Subject: Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge Project
Page 5
In terms of cost, the total cost of the project has risen appreciably since it was first
envisioned a number of years ago. TSH now estimates the total cost of the bridge to
be in the $7-8 million range, as shown in the following table.
Component Updated Cost Estimate
Bridge Superstructure $2,350,000
Bridge Foundations $1,170,000
Bridge Architecture $1,650,000
Tower Buildings $860,000
Traffic and Track Control $700,000
Contingencies $1,007,000
TOTAL $7,737,000
The initial cost estimate was in the range of $3-4 million. The initial estimate was based
on an earlier bridge concept that was prepared in the 1990s at the time the footings
were designed and placed in the Highway 401 allowance. The earlier design work was
for a much more utilitarian bridge structure than the options now being considered
through the environmental assessment process. This accounts for some of the cost
increases. Other reasons for the increased costs include:
. More detailed design allowing for a more accurate identification of costs for key
structural components.
. Rising labour and construction costs for materials such as steel, concrete and
petroleum based products (costs have risen between 10 and 40 percent over the
past year alone).
. Architectural and other design enhancements including improved and more
extensive glazing, a more architecturally elaborate cross-section, fully enclosed
terminal buildings, and the incorporation of sustainable building materials and
technologies (e.g. solar and/or wind).
. Staging and related costs associated with Highway 401 traffic controls and C.N.
Rail corridor protection measures.
Staff is very concerned about these cost increases given the City's current financial
situation. The bridge project cannot proceed beyond the design phase without the
support and assistance of our partners. In 2007, staff will be investigating potential
Report CAO 01-07
C {$6bject: Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge Project
January 22, 2007
Page 6
additional funding opportunities. As well, through the design process, TSH will be
undertaking a process of Value Engineering to investigate and establish potential areas
of cost efficiencies that could help reduce project costs.
Office Tower Update
Pickering Town Centre and 20 Vic Management (the management company for the
shopping mall) have been kept appraised of the environmental assessment and design
work on the pedestrian bridge. Concerns raised earlier in the process about parking
overflow on the PTC lands have been resolved. The City's ESR now includes a very
clear statement on the City's intention to only build the bridge in association with the
office tower (not in advance of the tower).
"It is the City's intention to coordinate the construction of the bridge with
the construction (by others) of an office tower on the abutting Pickering
Town Centre lands to the north. This coordination will ensure a
seamless transition between the bridge and the office tower, and allow
for the appropriate parking enforcement measures to be put in place to
control unwanted and illegal GO Transit commuter parking on the
Pickering Town Centre lands."
To facilitate the office development, staff have been working closely with Pickering
Town Centre / 20 Vic Management in marketing and promoting the office tower. We
understand that jjBarnicke has been retained as the real estate agents for the office
tower and that a promotional billboard advertising the tower will be erected shortly in the
southerly parking lot facing Highway 401.
Proposed 2007 Work Proqram
The following work program is proposed for 2007.
1. Background Investigations
. Obtain MOE approval of the environmental assessment
· Complete soils investigation and topographic survey work
. Review site utilities information (gas, water sanitary, storm and electricity)
· Confirm GO, MTO and CNR clearance, location and elevation requirements
· Prepare preliminary staging plan for MTO review
2. Detailed Design and Approvals
· Assess options and determine type and extent of green technologies to be
incorporated into the bridge design
Report CAG 01-07
January 22, 2007
G07
Subject: Highway 401 Pedestrian Bridge Project
Page 7
. Prepare drawings and other background information for submission to GO,
MTO, CNR and TRCA, and undertake necessary follow-up work to obtain
agency approvals
. Review design drawings for PTC office tower (when available) to ensure
appropriate integration of bridge and tower
. Enter into any required agreements with PTC and GO to allow construction of
north and south terminal buildings
. Prepare final design drawings and cost estimates
Based on this work program, the City will not be in a position to consider bridge
construction until the spring of 2008 at the earliest, subject to available funding. Timing
of construction would also be dependent on the receipt of all necessary approvals and
agreements, and the timing of construction of the northerly abutting office tower.

Recommendation:
1. That Report PD 02-07 of the Director, Planning & Development regarding the
Assumption of Plan 40M-2023, be received;
2. That the highway being Spartan Court within Plan 40M-2023 be assumed for
public use;
3. That the services required by the Subdivision Agreement relating to Plan
40M-2023, which are constructed, installed or located on lands dedicated to, or
owned by the City, or on lands lying immediately adjacent thereto, including lands
that are subject to easements transferred to the City, be accepted and assumed
for maintenance, save and except from Blocks 25, 32 and 33;
4. That the Subdivision Agreement and any amendments thereto relating to Plan

Financial Implications: There are no new financial implications to the City as a
result of this recommendation.
Sustainability Implications: The final assumption of this plan of subdivision is an
administrative process that legally concludes the City's acquisition of necessary roads
and other infrastructure. It does not directly impact the City's sustainability initiatives.
Background: The City entered into a Subdivision Agreement with the
above-noted developer for the development of Plan 40M-2023. As the developer has
now completed all works and services to the satisfaction of City staff, it is appropriate to
assume the roads and services within this Plan, save and except from Blocks 25, 32
and 33, as these reserve blocks will be dealt with when the lands to the north are
developed.
Further, it is also appropriate to release the developer from the provisions of the
Subdivision Agreement dated September 15, 2000 as Instrument No. L T1 006698.
Accordingly, it is being recommended:
1. That the highway being Spartan Court within Plan 40M-2023 be assumed for
public use;
2. That the services required by the Subdivision Agreement relating to Plan
40M-2023, which are constructed, installed or located on lands dedicated to, or
owned by the City, or on lands lying immediately adjacent thereto, including lands
that are subject to easements transferred to the City, be accepted and assumed
for maintenance, save and except from Blocks 25, 32 and 33;
3. That the Subdivision Agreement and any amendments thereto relating to Plan
40M-2023 be released and removed from title;
4. That By-law 1416/82 (Places of Amusement) be amended to include the road
being Spartan Court within Plan 40M-2023; and
5. That Council enact a By-law to dedicate Block 31, Plan 40M-2023 as public
highway.

Subject:
No Stopping By-law, Liverpool Road & Sandy Beach Road
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-2130
Recommendations:
1. That Report OES 02-07 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 Schedules' 1" and '2' to By-
law 6604/05 to provide for the regulating 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 driveway access and roadway
traffic flow difficulties due to vehicular on street parking and stopping along:
a) the west side of Liverpool Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the Tim Hortons
Restaurant), and
b) the west side of Sandy Beach Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the
commercial plaza).
Staff hereby propose to amend the existing traffic by-law in order to establish and
clearly identify No Stopping zones in busy commercial areas and to aid enforcement
endeavors.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of No Stopping signs is
estimated to cost approximately $400 and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.

Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the
recommendations generated by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability by
addressing traffic operations and aging populace issues.
Background: In response to concerns with driveway access and roadway traffic
flow difficulties due to vehicular on street parking and stopping along:
a) the west side of Liverpool Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the Tim Hortons
Restaurant), and
b) the west side of Sandy Beach Road south of Bayly Street (fronting the
commercial plaza)
By-law staff were asked to enforce the existing No Parking restrictions in the area.
However, although municipal staff can enforce the current by-law, some drivers may not
understand that the legal definition of No Parking includes no stopping of vehicles save
and except when engaged in the pick up and discharge of passengers or goods.
Consequently, in order to provide a clear indication to drivers that stopping is prohibited
in the affected area, staff hereby propose to amend the existing traffic by-law from No
Parking to No Stopping, for the distance of the affected commercial frontages.
Note: during the investigation, staff found that the existing No Parking signs on the west
side of Sandy Beach Road, south of Bayly Street did not have corresponding by-law
endorsement, consequently the proposed recommendations would correct this
deficiency.

(:21
Background: In August, 2006, municipal staff were contacted by Property
Management at 1525 Diefenbaker and 1530/1540 Pickering Parkway. The senior
residents within the "Village at the Pines" rental complex were experiencing difficulties
exiting the site via the south driveway onto Pickering Parkway, noting poor sightlines
caused by on street parking and the speed of vehicles along Pickering Parkway.
Further to a staff review by Municipal Operations and Traffic Operations staff, in
consultation with Complex Property Management, it was determined and agreed that on
street parking restrictions should be extended to provide at least 120m of clear roadway
visibility along Pickering Parkway from the complex driveway (as shown on the attached
sketch).
Consequently, staff recommend that the municipal Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended
to reflect No Parking along the north side of Pickering Parkway from 130m east of
Valley Farm Road to 275m east of Valley Farm Road. The corresponding draft By-law
amendments are attached. In order for the By-law and new restrictions to be effective,
they must receive regular enforcement.

Subject:
Speed Limit By-law, Sideline 16
- Amendment to By-law 6604/05
File: A-2130
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 05-07 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 "9" to By-law
6604/05 to provide for the regulation of vehicular maximum rates of speeds 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: As a result of the recent paving of the southern portion of
Sideline 16, area residents expressed road safety concerns regarding the speed of
traffic on the granular portion of Sideline 16 and requested the City to lower the speed
limit from the current 80km/h to 60km/hr. On October 10, 2006 Council via Resolution
156/06 requested staff "to investigate, prepare and submit for Councils review and
potential endorsement the necessary by-law to give effect this resolution".
Having completed the review, staff support the request and hereby propose to amend
the existing traffic by-law as per the changes attached.
Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of speed limit signs is
estimated to cost approximately $400 and can be accommodated within the Roads
current budget account 2320.2409.
Sustainability Implications: The concerns as presented to staff and the
recommendations as generated by staff are relevant to the social lens of sustainability
by addressing traffic operations and their impacts on residential properties.

Subject: Speed Limit By-law, Sideline 16
Page 2
Background: On October 10, 2006, Council passed Resolution 156/06
requesting municipal staff to investigate roadway operations on Sideline 16 as area
residents noted concerns with the speed of traffic due to the recent paving of the
southern portion of the road. A copy of Resolution 156/06 is attached. The City of
Pickering recently completed the resurfacing of the southern portion of Sideline 16,
immediately north of Highway 7 (see map attached) with the remaining portion of
Sideline 16 south of Seventh Concession Road remaining a granular surface road.
Apparently drivers traveling at a high rate of speed irrespective of the roadway surface
treatment, present a hazard to the area given the prevailing rural roadway conditions
and the presence of large commercial vehicles generated by Dutchmasters Nurseries.
In response to the request, staff generated traffic volume and speed statistics both on
the paved and unpaved portion of Sideline 16. Using mechanical vehicle counter
classifiers, the traffic studies as complete provided the following results:
Vehicular Volume
North South Both
Paved 85%-i1e Speed (km/h)* Granular 85%-i1e Speed (km/h)*
North South Both North South Both
132 184 316
87.3 90.8 88.7
76.1 87.7 84.6
* (85th %-i1e Speed is the maximum speed that 85% of traffic travels at or below)
The data results confirm the residents comments that drivers maintain their speed
along Sideline 16 irrespective of the roadway surface change from asphalt to granular.
As the high speeds on both the granular and asphalt surfaced portions of Sideline 16
can present a hazard to residents and the local commercial truck traffic, staff support
the request to lower the legal speed limit to 60 Km/h and recommend that the municipal
Traffic By-law 6604/05 be amended to reflect the above change. The corresponding
draft By-law amendments are attached.
In order for the new posted speed limit to be effective, it must be enforced. Durham
Regional Police Services will be requested to monitor this road periodically for
compliance.

Report Number: OES 08-07
Date: January 22,2007

From:
Everett Buntsma
Director, Operations & Emergency Services
Subject:
Pesticide Use on Municipal Property
- Annual Update
File: A-2130
Recommendation:
1. That Report OES 08-07 regarding Pesticide Use on Municipal and Private
Property be received;
2. That City of Pickerin!~ staff continue to review the effectiveness of educational
programs pertaining to pesticides and their use and investigate the potential for
further development of community awareness and report the results on an
annual basis, and
3. That City of Pickering staff continue to investigate and evaluate alternative
options to pesticides for pest control on municipal properties, and report the
results on an annual basis.
Executive Summary: The issue regarding the use of pesticides on non-agricultural
lands continues to be a contentious one with a variety of opinions across the spectrum.
The City of Pickering at this time, has opted not to follow suit with municipalities such as
the City of Toronto and the Town of Newmarket that have adopted by-laws banning
cosmetic use of pesticides. A Memorandum was submitted to Council through the
Director, Operations & Emergency Services on December 15, 2005 pertaining to the
City of Toronto Pesticide By-law (No. 456-2003) as well as the property management
practices of other municipalities within the Region of Durham.
Resuming in the spring of 2006 City staff delivered educational community awareness
programs using a variety of means to provide residents with the information necessary
to make informed decisions about what was right for them and their properties.
The City of Pickering has continued to manage municipal properties in an integrated
approach. Proper mowing and aeration, irrigation and watering techniques, regular de-
thatching and the use of organic fertilizers have reduced the City's need for pesticides.
Naturalized areas within the parks have also reduced the need for treatments. All
natural alternatives are investigated and utilized wherever possible and practical.

Subject: Pesticide Use on Municipal Property

C3t;
Page 2
Financial Implications: In 2006, the financial investment, with the exclusion of staff
time, was limited regardin~~ both the purchase of pesticides and new marketing
supplies. However, discussion is already underway for a partnership with Landscape
Ontario and potential other partners like the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA) to host three "Healthy Lawns, Healthy Gardens" workshops in April 2007. One
workshop would be hosted in each Ward of the City. In addition, with the expansion of
the green bin program creating the availability of compost, we are discussing hosting
another Property Green Up event with the Region of Durham at which residents can
collect free compost, educational materials and purchase green bins, blue boxes and
backyard compost boxes. Staff will once again explore partnering with the Bloomers &
Britches and TRCA for the event.
Sustainability Implications: By promoting responsible property management to
residents and abiding by this philosophy when we manage municipally owned lands, we
are addressing the sustainability objectives of a healthy environment, healthy society
and healthy economy. ThE~ misuse of pesticides can be a problem for both the
environment and human health (society). Through a variety of means we are educating
the community about integrated management, safe pesticide use and alternatives to
pesticides, thereby reducing the impact on these two areas. With regard to the
economy, by using an integrated approach on municipal lands we are reducing the
need to purchase pesticides. At the same time we are stimulating the economy when
we support the purchase of non-traditional pest control products and companies that
offer this service. In the short-term we are providing the community with tools with which
to modify their perception and eventually change their behaviour. Fostering a new way
of maintaining properties and moving people away from the traditional methods is a
long term goal and one that will result in a healthier, more sustainable community
overall.
Background: For some individuals, using an assortment of chemicals to maintain
a lawn is common practice. However, times and attitudes are changing and pesticide
use as a sole means to maintain a green lawn is becoming an issue in many
communities. Pesticide USE! is becoming a contentious issue due to an increased
perception about the impact some chemicals may have on the environment and our
health. As a result, some homeowners are choosing to adopt environmentally sound
lawn care practices and only use pesticides when absolutely necessary. There is also
now a greater understanding that a healthy lawn is less likely to suffer from pest
problems.
To promote this perspective to a wider audience, staff have used a variety of
mechanisms in the spring, summer and autumn of 2006. In May, staff participated in a
Healthy Homes and Gardens Workshop hosted by the TRCA Frenchman's Bay
Watershed Rehabilitation Project. Approximately 40 residents attended this informative
Workshop. As a guest speaker, the City's Foreperson, Parks & Property presented the
CORP0227 -07/01

City's approach to managing and maintaining public properties. Other speakers
included Lorelei Hepburn of Environmental Factor who discussed organic lawn care
and Paul Hayden of Grow 'Nild who presented the benefits of growing native plants.
The City's educational display was set up to distribute free material for workshop
participants to take home. Other displays included TRCA's Healthy Yards Program and
Environmental Factor. The first thirty participants to register were given "Healthy
Homes" kits, which included products for use inside and outside of the home as well as
native wildflowers, shrubs and organic lawn care products. The materials in each kit
were donated by various businesses and were worth about $100. Overall the event
was successful and well recE~ived by participants.
In addition to the above event the educational display has been set up on many
occasions with free educatiional material for residents and staff to take, covering a
variety of topics, including alternatives to pesticides and integrated lawn care. For
example the display was set up at the following events:
- Pickering Recreation Complex - Sustainable Neighbourhood Planning session
on March 3rd
Pickering Town Centre - Enviro-Monsters Competition (April 20th) and Earth Day
(April 22nd). Display rElmained on site from April 20th to April 23rd
Canada Day celebrations on July 1 st at Bay Ridges Kinsmen Park
The City of Pickering website has been another means to promote an integrated
approach to lawn care. An extensive amount of information under the header of
"Property Green Up" is on the website in the "Environmental Awareness" section;
literature is also available for download as a PDF. The web pages are updated twice a
year and contain information pertaining to proper lawn care and natural alternatives to
pesticides. In addition, for those that opt to use pesticides to control pests there are
instructions about proper use, storage and disposal. Lastly, the website is also used to
update residents about how the City of Pickering is managing municipal properties.
Another useful tool on the website has been the introduction of a new and improved
"Request Information Form", Residents have been using this form as an online means
to request information about a variety of topics. In the spring and summer, the majority
of the requests received were for educational material pertaining to integrated lawn
care. The requests are processed immediately and the materials are mailed to the
resident's homes. A new R,equest Information brochure has also been produced and
will be distributed to City libraries, community centers, City Hall and Recreation
Complex.
The Green Pages section of the City's Services & Leisure Guide has been an excellent
means to promote a variety of environmental programs and resources available to
residents including workshops, environmental events, educational material, the website
and Request Information Form. In the spring/summer edition a section specifically
focused on an integrated approach to lawn care.

It is important that City of Pickering staff are viewed by the community as leading by
example. The Green Pages section of the Municipal Matters publication is used to
facilitate a better understanding amongst City staff about the environment and how to
lead a more sustainable lifestyle at home. An article and quiz within the summer edition
were used to encourage staff to take an integrated approach to lawn care at their home.
Planning has commenced for the 2007 season. In addition to building on the initiatives
outlined above, we have already started investigating the possibility of partnering with
Landscape Ontario to host three "Healthy Lawns, Healthy Gardens" workshops. One
workshop would be hosted in each Ward of the City. At a recent meeting we discussed
previous initiatives that Landscape Ontario had undertaken with municipalities. The
response to these workshops had been positive as they indicated approximately 100
residents turned out per session. An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Specialist from
Landscape Ontario would present the lawn care component. The garden component
would be presented by one of the hosts of Home Garden Television (HGTV's) "One
Look Two Gardens" show. City staff would present how the City is managing and
maintaining public properties. So as to not overlap with the TRCA's Healthy Yards
workshop we would investigate collaborating on this initiative. Other potential
partnerships such as with the Region of Durham will be examined. Staff are
considering the workshops to take place around Earth Day so that they can be
integrated into a concept of !having a full week in April 2007 geared to sustainability and
environmentally based activities for the community.
With the expansion of the green bin program there is once again an opportunity to have
a Property Green Up event at which residents can collect free compost, educational
materials and purchase greE~n bins, blue boxes and backyard compost boxes. Staff will
again look at partnering with the TRCA's Frenchman's Bay Watershed Rehabilitation
Project and Bloomers & Britches. The initial timeframe being proposed for this event is
May, 2007.
Working with Landscape Ontario we plan to place a series of articles in the Pickering
News Advertiser pertaining to healthy lawn and garden care. For those that prefer to
hire a company to do this work for them we will also have an article about how to
choose a reputable lawn car,e service provider.
The City of Pickering staff continue to take an integrated approach to how we manage
our properties and sports fields. Proper mowing and aeration, an irrigation system,
regular thatching and the use of organic fertilizers have reduced the need for pesticides
and has encouraged the growth of strong and healthy turf grass. Various areas within
the City's parks have also been naturalized to further reduce the need for treatments.
These actions have significantly reduced the use of pesticides on public lands over the
last seven years. Staff continue to investigate up to date information, practices and new
products that will provide quality turf grass with minimal pesticide applications required.

A synopsis of the City's practices include the following:
continued the development of an Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM)
supported the naturalization of areas
created no spray ZOnE!S around properties abutting schools
used competitive drought tolerant grasses
- used natural fertilizers where practical and budget allows
- experimented with alternatives such as horticultural vinegar
practiced proper lawn and garden care through aerating, overseeding, regular
checks, water management through irrigation systems and raised mowing
heights.
- used chemical treatment as a last resort and only when the safety of sports field
users was compromised by a pest
- used pest selective p,esticides, for example, to target broad leaf weeds in sports
fields
As outlined above various initiatives have been recently undertaken or are planned for
the upcoming year. Therefore, it is being recommended that City of Pickering staff
continue to annually review the effectiveness of the community educational programs
pertaining to pesticides and investigate the potential for further development of
community awareness. As well, it is recommended that the City staff continue to
investigate and evaluate altE~rnative options to pesticides for pest control on municipal
properties.

Heritage Permit Application 001/06
- Submission under the Ontario Heritage Act
- 325 Whitevale Road, Pickering
Recommendation:
Council Direction Required
Executive Summary: On July 24, 2006 Council approved a formal application
process for alterations, additions or demolitions or erection of a building in a Heritage
Conservation District. Cimas Construction submitted Heritage Permit Application
#001/06 for property municipally known as 325 Whitevale Road. The purpose of the
application is to permit the new construction of a single-family residential dwelling within
the Whitevale Heritage District. In accordance with the heritage permit application
procedure established under the Ontario Heritage Act, Council is the delegated
authority to consent or refuse the application.
Financial Implications: Not applicable.
Background: On July 110, 2006, Cimas Construction Ltd. submitted a heritage
permit application, pending approval of the process by Council on July 24, 2006. A
copy of the application is included as Attachment #1 to this report. It should be noted
that the Applicant has been in discussions with Heritage Pickering since the beginning
of the year, prior to final plans being drawn up. As part of the City's goal for process
improvements, the heritage permit application process was implemented in order to
facilitate decisions with respect to heritage properties. As part of the heritage permit
application process, comments are solicited from the Planning & Development
Department and Heritage Pickering. If deemed necessary, at the discretion of the Chief
Building Official, Planning & Development will also seek a peer review from a qualified
heritage consultant on the subject application.

Comments
Planninq & Development Department:
After careful review, the Planning & Development Department is recommending
approval of Heritage Permit Application HPA 001/06. The proposal generally conforms
to established guidelines for new buildings that the applicant can reasonably be
expected to comply with, given the background, context and the lot to which this
application applies. It is noted by the Planning & Development Department that the
applicant's architect prepared the final design documents after consultation with
Heritage Pickering.
The Whitevale Heritage District Guidelines includes some general recommendations for
new buildings, and were intended to provide for some flexibility and accommodation in
their design. The guidelines state that:
new buildings should respect the prevailing character of adjacent buildings,
streetscape and district through compatible location, height, setback, orientation,
materials, fenestration, scale and proportion.
The applicant's proposal is for a two storey detached dwelling of about 3400 square
feet on a 2/3 acre vacant corner lot at the western edge of the hamlet. The location,
height, setback, orientation, materials and fenestration are in general accordance with
the District Guidelines. The dwelling is somewhat larger than some adjacent heritage
dwellings. It is probably unreasonable and impractical, however, to mandate that the
applicant match the proposed building to the scale of the immediately adjacent
dwelling, which is located on a much smaller lot. The proposed building conforms to all
zoning requirements and the applicant has incorporated significant setbacks to the
neighbouring heritage dwelHngs that are much in excess of permitted minimums.
The June 1, 2006 comments provided by the Chair, Heritage Pickering, are
understandably advocating a high level of heritage design compliance. When
measured against this new building proposal, they reflect a more particular and
restrictive approach to architectural control in the District than has been the case in the
past.
In considering whether to apply greater heritage obligations in this case, Council should
consider that:
a uniquely liberal approach to implementing a conservation District was applied
by Council in Whitevale. At the time of implementation, any owner wishing to be
exempt was allowed to do so. As a result, the District today contains
approximately 20 lots whose owners are not obliged to comply with any heritage
requirements.

the 1990 Whitevale Heritage Conservation District Plan, prepared by the City by
Unterman McPhail Heritage Resource Consultants, recommended that the
introduction of new buildings into Whitevale be accepted as part of the
continuing change that all communities experience. It was not intended that the
Conservation District limit new building forms to only those that exist.
the application of more prescriptive and restrictive architectural criteria has
generally been reserved for construction directly associated with existing
heritage buildings, in order to protect their integrity.
a contemporary new building design using traditional elements is acceptable and
consistent with the established District Guidelines.
It is considered desirable to apply more prescriptive control to all applications, the
current District exemptions and Guidelines should first be re-examined. Prior to City
application of these standards, it is essential that more descriptive information and
consultation be available for applicants before they proceed with detailed construction
plans. If it is decided to move in this direction, it is recommended that:
1. The District Plan Guidelines be reviewed, and more detailed information
incorporated, prior to being considered for adoption by Council;
2. Commentary and recommendations be obtained from a qualified heritage
consultant on the reviised guidelines; and
3. The District boundaries be amended to incorporate currently exempt properties,
in order to further District integrity and ensure consistency of heritage control.
Heritaqe Pickerinq Comments
As requested, the plans submitted for 325 Whitevale Road have been reviewed by the
Committee. Heritage Pickering has used section 5.4 New Buildings in the Whitevale
Heritage Conservation District Guide to provide guidance for our recommendations.
Heritage Pickering is disappointed to see that none of the feedback provided to the
owners in our June 2006 memo, during informal consultation, have been incorporated
into this formal application. In light of this fact, Heritage Pickering maintains its
concerns previously expressed and has listed the recommended changes to the
application based on the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District Guide:
5.4. 1 New buildings should be visually compatible with adjacent properties and the
streetscape.
5.4.3 Maintain the rural settlement pattern to protect the integrity of this area, and to
reinforce the distinct character of the hamlet...
The proposed dwelling is siunificantly larger in size as well as design than any adjacent
property. While we do not advocate that the dwelling must match the scale of adjacent
Report CS 04-07
Heritage Permit Application HPA 001/06
January 22, 2007
Page 4
t4:~
properties, it is reasonable to expect that it would be closer in proportion than in the
current application. The site of this property is in a very visible location, and therefore,
will have a significant impact on the consistency of the settlement pattern. Located on
property at the west end gateway of the Hamlet, the proposed dwelling does not
maintain the rural settlement pattern. This type of building is more consistent with new
subdivisions, not a rural Hamlet that is a designated Heritage Conservation District.
5.4.6 A building form which is proportionately greater in width than depth and of a side
gable design is encouraged. Extended rear sections to form the traditional T
shape is encouraged where additional floor space is needed.
The owner was encouragBd to redesign the plans to fit more closely to the above
description instead of the current, very modern, design in order for this dwelling to fit
more consistently in with the surrounding neighbourhood.
5.4.7 Roofs of new buildings should - match those of neighbouring buildings in shape
and pitch; be a side or end gable design; be tow to medium pitch; utilize cedar or
asphalt shingles. Steep pitches, cross-gable, flat and mono-pitch roofs, and
polygonal towers should be avoided...
It appears from the drawings that the roof lines may not follow some of the above
guidelines, namely not being a side or end gable design and the tower-like portion of
the west end of the building is not consistent with rural hamlet structures.
5.4.9 Windows and doors in new buildings should - be generally vertical and
rectangular; be IimitHd in size so as to be similar to heritage buildings in the
proportion of openings to solid wall; avoid the use of snap in muntins, decorative
shapes such as bulls.-eyes, keystones, quoins and other decorative surrounds.
While the majority of windows are vertical and rectangular, there are a large number of
windows in proportion to thl3 solid walls. In addition, there are a number of half circle
windows and one fully round window that should be removed or replaced.
5.4. 12 Garages should not form a part of the front fac;ade. A less conspicuous location
is recommended.
Although the garage doors do not face the street, the garage does form a part of the
front facade, significantly increasing the overall size of the structure. 5.5.4
recommends garages be located to the rear of the property.
The proposed design does follow guidelines 5.4.2 (maximum structure height), 5.4.4
(setbacks), 5.4.5 (street facing walls parallel to the road), 5.4.11 (exterior wall finish).
It has been noted that Heritage Pickering's comments represent a shift to a more
particular and restrictive approach that has been the case in the past. With the recent
passing of the revisions to the Ontario Heritage Act, we now have a better foundation
on which to protect heritage assets that was not afforded in the past. While not

l' J
necessarily popular, recommendations that preserve the heritage of this area are
needed.
With respect to the liberal approach to implementing the conservation district,
specifically that owners were allowed to be exempt, Heritage Pickering is currently
working with the Whitevale and District Residents' Association to remove these
exemptions. In addition, it should be noted that the current property in the application is
not exempt from the heritage district and subject to the guidelines. In fact, the new
legislation affords some protection to those exempted properties in Whitevale though
policy 2.6.3 which states that "Development and site alteration may be permitted on
adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site
alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes
of the protected heritage property will be conserved. Mitigative measurers and/or
alternative development approaches may be required in order to conserve the heritage
attributes of the protected heritage property affected by the adjacent development or
site alteration."
Heritage Pickering has attElmpted to implement and use guidelines available to us in
considering this application. The provincial Ministry of Culture refers to Parks Canada -
Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada - New
Additions to Historic Places recommendations of "Placing a new addition on a non-
character-defining portion and limiting its size and scale in relationship to the historic
place (Whitevale Heritage Conservation District)."
They do not recommend "constructing a new addition so that the character-defining
features of the historic resource (Whitevale Heritage Conservation District) are
obscured, damaged or destroyed, or the heritage value is otherwise underminded" and
"Designing and constructing new additions that diminish or eliminate the historic
character of the resource, including its design, materials, workmanship, location or
setting" and "Designing a new addition that obscured, damages or destroys character-
defining features of the historic place or undermines its heritage value." Based on the
points referred to previously, Heritage Pickering believes that guidelines are not being
met.
In addition, as noted, a review of the current heritage conservation district guidelines so
that they may be provided to applicants before they proceed with detailed plans is
needed and Heritage Pickering has identified this as a responsibility. In the absence of
this, Heritage Pickering has been involved with informal consultations, including with the
applicants, in order to provide comments, suggestions and/or recommendations. In this
case, the applicants did not see fit to incorporate any of Heritage Pickering's comments
into the final plans.
While the position of Herita!~e Pickering may represent a shift from previous positions, it
also represents the opportunity to preserve the heritage assets of the City of Pickering.
Property owners are aware of restrictions on heritage property, either in a district or
individual designations, when it is purchased and it is incumbent on our committee to
uphold the protection that designation affords to properties and districts.

For the reasons stated above, Heritage Pickering cannot support the plans as currently
proposed and would, therefore, recommend that Council not approve the application.
Should changes be considered based on the recommendations made in our memo, the
owners will achieve a better balance of integration of a new structure onto a
prime/gateway location within the Heritage Conservation District.

Attention Debbie Bentley,
City Clerk's Office,
My experience with the Pickering Heritage Committee has been confusing and anything but
helpful. At the beginning of the year, before [mal plans were drawn up and the information for
the pennit was collected ie: engineered truss and floor designs, we submitted a
preliminary/possible arch.dwg to the Heritage Committee for a new residential home at 325
Whitevale Rd. This was circulated to them through Tim Moore of the Planning Department. In
February 2006 two e-mails were sent to us with comments about the new structure (again via
Tim Moore).
At best these comments/ suggestions were vague and unclear and seemed to promote some
architect called BarnOwl, which we are not familiar with?? It was clear that very little time or
effort went into the feedback given at this time. In any case, in an effort to comply with the
comments/ suggestions and work with the committee, we altered various aspects of the design
to comply with the few issues pointed out by them.
We were quite happy to make the changes that were suggested at this time. We changed the
exterior from brick to batten board, we replaced the metal railings to wood, we altered the
palladium windows to a more traditional square design,... We believed that the resulting
design would be acceptable because, after all, we had already cleared it through Heritage,
thinking that they had given it thorough attention.
My question to the committee is why did we not get more detailedfeedback at this stage????
Confidently, we submitted all our documents for pennit review with the building department at
City of Pickering ie: revised architectural drawings, engineered truss and floor designs. . . . We
have lined up the well and septic tank contractor who will put in the most modem and space
efficient model available.
On June 1,2006 when we were told that the Heritage Committee would not support our
proposed plan we were quite frankly surprised and shocked. After reading the new, very
detailed comments about the design we felt as though we had been misled.
C: 4:3
I attempted to contact Pamela Fuselli many times to raise my concerns. She said she would pass
my questions along to the committee but I was not allowed to address them myself. We were
told that Pickering Heritage would 'be happy to work' with us and I was more than willing to
talk to the committee but I was told I could not attend the June 14 meeting as it was called 'ad
hoc'(you know, not scheduled.). Finally, I e-mailed her to tell her what I had already changed
and what could be altered with respect to their comments. No :further discussion was initiated.
I was tmder the impression that the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District Guide is a
document which offers guidelines not dictates laws. Section 5.4 of the New Buildings in
Whitevale Heritage Conservation District Guide uses terminology such as "should" or
"should be avoided" or "is recommended". We have shown a willingness to comply with the
suggestions given by the committee and feel that the Heritage Committee has been given too
much power in this regard (as to be able to freeze my permit application).
They wrote the following in an e-mail,
"Their architect should not put any architectural feature on the exterior if they can't find
an example of it in the village".
Upon travelling through the village, we have found various examples of non-compliance
according to these guidelines, such as, brick and stucco exterior ftnishes, round and palladium
style windows, attached garages, ...
At this time it will be costly and structurally difficult to address 5.4.6 and 5.4.7 as altering the
roof and floor designs require going through the architect and the engineer again and I have
already spent over $ 15,000.00 dollars on architecture revisions and engineering fees.
Although, in the spirit to show that we are co-operative and in addition to the changes we have
already made, we propose the following:
In reference to 5.4.9, we are willing to change the windows size and shape by removing all half
circle and round windows.
We hope this is agreeable to tlle council and city clerk's office.

Deborah Dionisi

Subject:
325i Whitevale, Road
AS requested, I've reviewed the plans submitted for 325 Whltevale Road and compared them
" 'Nitti section 5.4 New Buildings In the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District GuIde. Below
are my comments: ..
1.,1,
5.4.1 New buildings should be vf;iuaUy ~ompatible with adjacent properties and the
streets cape.
Given the significant dlfferEmce In size and design between the proposed building and any
adjacent property, these plians do not meet this guideline.
.'
5.4.3 Maintain the rural settlement pattern to protect the Integrity of this area, and to
reInforce the distInct character of the hamlet....
This structure, located at the west end gateway of the Hamlet, does not maintain the rural
settlement pattern. This is the type of building you'd expect to find in new subdivisions. not a
rural Hamlet that is a herita!~e conservation district.
./
5.4.6 A building form whlc:h is proportionately greater in width than depth and of a side
',. gable design is encouraged. Extended rear sections to form the traditional T shape is
encouraged where additiclnal floor space Is needed,
The owner Is' encouraged tel redesign the plans to fit the above description instead of the
current, very modern, desigl:'!.
.t"
~ '
,5.4.1 Roofs of new buildings should - match those of neighbouring buildings in shape
and pItch; be a sIde or end gable design; be low to medium pitch; utilize cedar or asphalt
shingles. Steep pitches, cross-gable, flat and mono-pitch roofs, and polygonal towers
should be avoided.... . .
It appears from the drawings that the roof lines may not follow some of the above guidelines,
namely not being a side or end gable design and the tower-like portion of the west end of the
building.
5.4.9 Windows and doors in new buildings should · be generally vertical and rectangular;
be limited in size so as to be similar to heritage buildings In the proportton of openIngs
to solid wall; avoid the use of snap In muntlns, decorative shapes such as bulls-eyes,
, keystones, quoins and other decorative surrounds.
',' 'While the majority of window~s are vertical and rectangular. there are a large number of windows
',... in proportion to the solid wa"~~. In addition, there are a number of half cIrcle windows and one
fully round window.

PICKERING PLANNING & DEV
~(lOJ
C'r::: ,"
'~ L~
5.4.12 Garages should not form a part of the front facade. A less conspicuous location
is recommended. '.
Although the garage doors cia not face the street, the garage does form a part of the front "
facade, significantly increasing the overall size of the structure, .5.5.4 recommends garages be
located to the rear of the property.
'"
"
The proposed design does fiJllp.w guidelines 5.4.2 (maximum structure height), 5.4.4 (setbacks),
5.4.5 (street facing walls paralfei to the road). 5.4.11 (exterior wall finIsh).
While Heritage Pickering can not support the plans as currently proposed, we would be happy
to work with the owner to achieve a better balance of integration of a new structure onto a
prime/gateway location with the Heritage Conservation District.

Hello Deborah,
J'm getting back in touch to let you know that the committee's decision was
to uphold our recommendations from June 2006. In response to your
request to attend, as the meeting was ad hoc (not a regularly scheduled
meeting), it was not open to the public but for committee discussion
purposes.
Please get in touch with Tim Moore, who I have already advised of our
decision, for the next steps.
Regards
Pamela Fuselli

Good Afternoon,
We at Cimas Construction Ltd. haVE! accommodated your previous requests/comments
made February 21 & 22,2006 ie we, changed metal railings to wood, we changed
brick to batten board, we have moved the garage from front facing to side
facing.. I think this design has a dis,tinctly heritage feel. In fact, it is
compatible with the homes found at the eastern end of the village.
I am willing to change the circular clOd semi-circular windows on the front
facade. Conversely I am not willing to change the floor plan or roof
design.
Is there any way for me and my associate to attend the Wednesday meeting??
Regards,
Deborah Dionisi

REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: CS 08-07
Date: January 22, 2007
(, 5 ('
\.: ~)
From:
Gillis A. Paterson
Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer
Subject:
Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved Capital Projects
- External Borrowing Through the Issuance of Debentures
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 08-01' from the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be
approved;
2. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to:
a) undertake long te,rm financing through the issuance of debentures through
the Regional Municipality of Durham up to a maximum amount of $2,340,000
for the projects listed on Attachment 1 in the indicated amounts, for the
following terms;

C B I~J Issuance of Debentures
Page 2
4. That the annual repayment costs of principal and interest amounting to
approximately $310,000 be included in the 2007 Current Budget and thereafter
until the loan is repaid;
5. That the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be directed and authorized to
finance any capital projects, the financing for which is not specifically approved by
Council, through the issuance of debentures or long term financing arrangements,
through the Regional Municipality of Durham, a financial institution, internal loans
or whatever means necessary at the discretion of the Treasurer;
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-laws, 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: V~hile 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 Report to Council serves as that final formal approval and
Corporate Services will complete all the necessary documentation. The 2005 and 2006
approved debt financed capital projects will be funded by the issuance of debentures
through the Regional Municipality of Durham as per Attachment 1. The 2006 internal
loans have been officially issued as at year ended December 31, 2006. Council has to
formally approve the request to undertake the long term financing through the issuance
of debentures through the Ftegional Municipality of Durham at the terms and conditions
as arranged in the capital markets as was approved by Council for the 2005 and 2006
Capital Budgets.
The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has certified that these loans and the
repayment thereof falls within the City's Debt and Financial Obligations approved
Annual Repayment Limit for debt and other financial obligations for 2006 as established
by the Province for municipalities in Ontario.

Financial Implications:
Total Cost of All Proiects
In addition to debt financing, these projects are also funded by other sources of funds.
The breakdown of the various sources of funds is as follows:
Sources Debentures Current Funds COMRIF Reserves & Total
Grants Reserve Costs
Funds
Projects $2,340,000 3:2,210 666,665 750,335 $3,789,210
Other than debt financing of $2,340,000, the combined total of all other sources of
funds is $1,449,210. The grand total cost of all these projects is $3,789,210.
Attachment 1 provides furthElr detailed breakdown of all other sources of funding.
Internal Loans
In the year ended 2006, the official internal borrowing undertaken was $502,000.
Attachment 2 provides the dl3tailed breakdown on these internal loans.
The combined principal and interest payment for the above internal loans are $135,511
and payment will commenCB in 2007. These internal loans will be temporary financed
by the Development Chargels Reserve Funds and repaid through an allocation in the
annual current budget commencing in 2007.
The internal borrowing rate is determined by using the Ontario Strategic Infrastructure
Financing Authority's (OSIFA) 5-year rate and other comparable municipal borrowing at
the time the loan was undE~rtaken. The rates for the 4-year and 5 year loans were
4.25% and 4.50% respectiv€!ly.
External Debts
The total of all 2006 external debentures requested was $2,340,000, out of which
$175,000 is related to 200:5 capital budget items and the remainder of $2,165,000
being 2006 capital projects. Attachment 1 provides a detailed breakdown of all projects
funded by external debentures. The external borrowing rate will be determined by the
capital markets at the time o'f the issuance of the debentures.
Revised debenture amount on OES 32-06 Sandy Beach Road Bridqe Replacement
Under Report to Council OES 32-06, recommendation 4(b), the sum of $1,050,000 was
identified as the required debenture amount. However, due to funds received from
"Move Ontario" from the provincial government, Report to Council CS16-06, under
recommendation 6 (b) & (c) with further details under heading "2006 Provincial
Government Budget Announcement" provided a change in funding for the above project
Report CS 08-07
January 22, 2007
Subject: Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved
Capital Projects - External Borrowing Through the
C 6;'~ Issuance of Debentures
Page 4
with a reduction in debt by $333,335. Thus, the required external borrowing will be
reduced to $715,000. The revised financing for this project will be as follows:
10-Year Current COMRIF "Move Ontario" Total
Debt Funds Grant Reserve
$715,000 9,153 666,665 333,335 $1,724,153
Financial Burden
The annual loan and debt mpayment charges are funded through the general property
tax levy in the annual Current Budgets.
The projected total of internal loans and debts outstanding for December 31, 2006 is
$15,026,389. However, with the anticipated issue by the Region sometime in February
or March of 2007, the projected outstanding amount net of 2007 principal repayment as
at December 31, 2007 would be increased to $15,129,566. Please refer to Attachment
3.
Sustainability Implications: This financing is necessary to provide the financial
means to sustain the City's capital investments in infrastructure.
Background: Continuous growth has created a need for capital infrastructure to
maintain the level of servicHs provided to residents and businesses. Funding sources
for capital projects are identified and approved by Council prior to the commencement
of the projects. The continuous growth coupled with aging capital infrastructure calls for
expansion to new facilities, replacement and repairs. This prompted the need for more
borrowing to fund the capiital projects. Total borrowings from the reserve funds to
finance 2006 and prior years capital projects are projected at $5,097,389 for year end
2006. Such internal borrowings require appropriate approvals and documentation in
accordance with the Municipal Act 2001, 8418 and the Development Charges Act
1997, 0. Reg. 82/98 5.12(2)3,4,5. The necessary documentation including Promissory
Notes indicating the amount, term, interest rate and other relevant information relating
to the internal loans and theiir repayments has been completed.
Normally, all external debt requested by an area municipality is issued through the
Regional Municipality of Durham. However, if there may be other more cost effective
means of financing availabIE~, 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 (Le. issued as a
premium) or excess funds resulting once project costs are complete and final.
The costs of financing of approximately $24,000 have been included in the 2006
Current Budget for the 200B capital projects, however due to the timing of this issue,
the amount will be re-budgeted in 2007. This cost represents commissions, legal fees,
and registration for debentures with the Canadian Depository for Securities (C.D.S.)
and any discount upon sale.
Under Pursuant to Resolution 144/99 the Mayor and Treasurer has the authority to sign
the Promissory Notes.
