1-2 TBB GUILD IRR
-Lease witb Tbe Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
and Cogan Corporation
The Guild Inn property was acquired by the Authority in 1978 as part of the
Waterfront project, and management was transferred, by agreement, to The
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Ontario Government legislation
established a Board of Management for the Inn, effectively removing it from
Authority jurisdiction.
On November l4, 1986, Metropolitan Council adopted Clause No. l5 contained .-
in Report NO. 13 of the parks, Recreation & property Committee, recommending
that Metropolitan Toronto enter into a lease with CN Hotels Inc. to manage
the Guild Inn. The Authority approved the leasing to CN Hotels Inc. and the
sale of chattels to it generally by Resolution Il92 of Meeting #8/86, held
November 28, 1986.
Following approval of the report by Metropolitan Council, CN Hotels Inc.
began operating the Guild Inn under an operating agreement, pending
execution of the formal documentation. A short time later and as final
negotiations were proceeding, CN Hotels Inc. notified Metro that its parent
company was entertaining offers for the sale of CN Hotels. Subsequently, CN
Hotels advised that it would not be able to enter into the agreement,
although it offered to continue to operate the Inn on an interim basis.
After extensive discussions with Canadian and off-shore operations,
tentative arrangements have now been concluded with Cogan Corporation to
enter into an agreement similar to that previously undertaken by CN Hotels
which the Board of Management of the Guild felt was most advantageous, in
that it provided income, removed the liability for the exp~nses of the
Hotel, and recognized the cultural heritage of the property. The matter was
approved by Metropolitan Council at its meeting held March 1, 1988.

-Ezcbange and Sale of Lands, City of Braapton
(Btobicoke Creek Watersbed)
A staff report was presented stating a land exchange with the above
companies was authorized on November 14, 1984 by Resolution 1287. Upon
issuance of an Order-in-Council in accordance with the provisions of The
Conservation Authorities Act, the transaction was subsequently completed on
February 27, 1986. In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, a
covenant was included in the TransferlDeed of Land from the Authority to
Heart Lake Developments Company Limited and First City Development Corp.
Limited, which read as follows:
"RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
The Transferee covenants and agrees that no buildings shall be
constructed on the. lands described.herein prior to the lands having a
minimum elevation of 248.5 metres above sea level."
As a routine process, when requests for disposal of Authority-owned lands
are received, an extensive and complete technical and environmental review
is carried out as to present and future Authority requirements prior to any
parcel being declared as suitable for disposal.
The technical comments during the review noted that while the parcel
proposed to be disposed of consisted of table lands beyond the existing
Flood and Fill Regulation Lines, the land had originally been acquired in
connection with the proposed Snelgrove Dam and Reservoir. It was noted that
while construction of this reservoir is a very low priority in view of
current Authority plans and policies, it was felt essential that any
disposal of land leave the Authority with a completely uncompromised option
of ultimately carrying out the original dam and reservoir project. It was
in this context that the condition for all lands involved in the proposed
sale to be filled to a level in excess of the maximum possible water level
was arrived at.
In preparing final development plans, the owners have approached the
Authority with an alternate method of accommodating its concerns for the
dam and reservoir, while achieving a more reasonable development plan
relating to existing grades of adjacent lands, as well as existing municipal
roads and services. Authority technical staff are of the opinion that the
proposed site plan addresses all of the concerns of the Authority.

The 1988 Fee Schedule, approved by Authority Resolution Il96, includes under
Discount #l, a flat rate for a guided tour at Black Creek and Kortright of
$40.00 per guide, based on a ratio of one guide for each group of 20
persons. Travel Trade promotion of this item has proved difficult since
tours are generally priced on a 'per person' basis; also to compete in the
local job market, Supplementary Staff wage rates will be higher than
anticipated when the schedule was established. Establishing a cost for a
guided tour at Black Creek and Kortright of $2.50 per person in addition to
regular admission fees, discounted by 20\ for tour groups, will address this
problem.

I-S LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT: 1987-l991
-property: 750174 Ontario Limited
Duncan Road to 16th Avenue
Town of Ricbmond Bill (Don River Watersbed)
At meeting #1/88, held on February 19, 1988, the Members of the Authority
under Resolution #14 authorized staff to proceed with the acquisition of all
property interests required to facilitate construction of the German Mills
Creek Channelization from Duncan Road to 16th Avenue in the Town of Richmond
Hill, Regional Municipality of York. The German Mills Flood Control Works
has been a long-standing project of the Authority and was identified in the
1980 Watershed plan as a high priority matter.
The Town of Richmond Hill and the Regional Municipality of York have made
arrangements for the financing of most of the cost of construction, with the
Authority remaining responsible for the land acquisition component of the
project. The Town is urging the Authority to finalize land acquisitions so
that construction on the Channelization can begin at the earliest possible
date. This area was subject to serious flooding during the very wet summer
and fall of 1986, with temporary remedial measures being undertaken by the
Town at that time~
Meetings and discussions have been held with all affected property owners
and their solicitors and tentative agreements are.now at hand with all six
owners.
Protracted negotiations have been carried out with George Farkas, a
principal of 75014 Ontario Limited and his solicitor, Mr. Joseph Fried of
the legal firm Bratty & partners, Madison Centre, 20th Floor, 4950 Yonge
Street, North York, Ontario, M2N 6Kl, and subject to your approval a
tentative settlement has now been arranged. The Authority's solicitors have
been extensively involved in discussions relating to this property, as well
as in the drafting of the Agreement and are supportive of the proposed
settlement.
The main elements of the proposed settlement are as follows:
a) 750174 Ontario Limited is to convey to the Authority a parcel of land
containing 0.101 acres, more or less, being part of Lot 12, Registered
plan 3806, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of York, and in
exchange the Authority is to convey to 750174 Ontario Limited a parcel
of land containing 0.168 acres, more or less, being part of Lot 9,
Registered Plan 3805, Town of Richmond Hill, Regional Municipality of
York. The Authority property is part of a much larger acreage acquired
from F. & G. Torriero in September 1987 under the Don River Watershed
component of the Land Acquisition project.
bl The Authority is responsible for payment of costs involved in. the
completion of the transaction.
cl The land exchange is being made by the Authority on the premise that no
loss in value to the vendor's property will be incurred because of
reconfiguration resulting from the land exchange. In this regard, the
Authority is to guarantee the vendor that he will be able to sell his
property with the new boundary configuration at some future date after
April 15, 1990 and up to December 31, 1990 at no loss in relation to
today's current market value. In the event the vendor is required to
sell the property between April 15 and December 31, 1990 at less than
current market value, the Authority will be required to purchase the
property in its entirety. (The Authority of course would then be
required to resell the lands not required for channelization works and
thus be out an amount equal to the loss in value of the property.)
In the event that the owner sells his property with the adjusted
property boundaries at an amount in excess of the current appraised
value of the original property prior to April 15, 1990, all obligations
of the Authority with respect to guarantee or purchase of the entire
property will immediately be at an end. Similarly, in the event that
the vendor does not sell the property and does not call on the Authority
to purchase the property beween April 15th 1990 and December 31 1990,
all obligations of the Authority will be at an end.

picnic area at a cost of $7,000.
e) Visitors Centre Ice Rink $250,000.
Almost from the tlme that the Village opened in 1960, a
natural ice rink has been produced each winter which has
helped to attract school groups and weekend visitation
during the winter months. The village has attempted to
make skating one of the major components of its winter
entertainment and recreation package. However, in many
years the ice quality cannot be maintained because of
climactic conditions. This leads to frustration and
disappointment of visitors who may then decide not to
make repeat visits. To guarantee good quality skating
at Black Creek from November to March, it is necessary
to have outdoor artificial ice. The visitors Centre was
designed with an artificial ice rink but the mechanical
equipment was removed from the contract because of
budget restraints. It is anticipated that the guarantee
of good ice will greatly increase the annual winter
visitation to Black Creek.

2. Kortright Centre for Conservation $10,000.
A review of the Master plan for the Kortright Centre is
currently underway, and no specific projects are
recommended at this time; however, to be in a position to
receive donations from people who regularly contribute to
Kortright, a general fund with a target of $10,000 is
suggested. Later in 1988 specific projects will be brought
forward for consideration.
3. Bruce's Mill $112,000.
The target for 1988 should be the amount remaining to be
raised for the restoration of the Mill building, $112,000.
4. Land Acquisition
In the strategies which are being developed for the
Authority on the recommendation of the Authority's
Evaluation Committee, proposals for land acquisition will
. be made in several categories. It is believed that there
is a role for the Foundation in assisting with the land
acquisition program. In this regard it would be helpful
for the Foundation, in preparing itself to assist in the
program, to establish a Committee from among Foundation
Members whose interest would be land acquisition - in the
same manner that committees have been established for Black
Creek, Kortright and Bruce's Mill.

-Consultant Selection
On an annual basis the Authority has participated on technical and
steering committees of TAWMS and, through funding assistance from the
Ministry of the Environment, has provided staff and administrative support
for many of the TAWMS technical studies. This year the MOE has provided a
grant of $85,000 to the Authority to hire staff and administer a consultant
study to develop the Don River Water Quality Study. The MOE has developed
detailed terms of reference and pre-selected a group of eight (81
consultants who were invited to submit proposals. Authority staff and MOE
staff hosted a consultants information meeting, February 9, 1988. A total
of five (51 proposals were received on the deadline of March 1, 1988, as
follows:
Prime Consultant Cost
Cumming Cockburn Ltd. $124,050
Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. $ 65,500
CanViro Consultants Ltd. $ 64,430
Paul Thiel Associates Ltd. $ 52,000
R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd. $ 47,179
A five member evaluation team consisting of staff from MTRCA, MOE, Water
Resource Branch and Central Region, and Metro Toronto Works Department
reviewed the proposals and recommended that the firm of paul Theil
Associates Ltd. be retained to undertake the study. Although their bid was
second lowest, it was felt that Paul Theil Associates Ltd. with Gore and
Storrie Ltd. and Beak Consultants Ltd. had more experience with TAWMS
studies and a more detailed proposal that provided a clearer outline of
their proposed work plan than R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd. R.V. Anderson
Associates Ltd. also had the lowest estimated total effort (man-daysl to
complete the study which was of concern to some members of the evaluation
team.

11-8 EMERGBNCY EROSION CONTROL WORK
-Malvern Tributary of tbe East Brancb of Higbland Creek at Hwy. 401
The Malvern tributary of the East Branch of Highland Creek flows through a
large culvert under Highway 401. At the outlet of the culvert major erosion
of the channel bed and walls has occurred. The culvert is undermined for a
distance of at least 50 feet under Highway 401 and poses a serious risk of
damage to the Highway. Downstream of the culvert outlet, a large Metro
sanitary trunk sewer is also endangered. A scour hole at the outlet of the
culvert has developed to a depth of approximately 4 metres and the situation
deteriorates after each major rainfall event. Temporary repair measures
have been attempted in the past by the Ministry of Transportation and
Metropolitan Toronto as well as The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority. All of the temporary measures have suffered serious
damage and are in imminent risk of complete failure.
Both the Ministry of Transportation and Metropolitan Toronto are prepared to
commit emergency funds to the construction of permanent remedial measures.
In an effort to develop a coordinated solution, staff proposes to retain a
consultant to develop a design solution which provides protection to Highway
401, the Metro trunk sanitary sewer, and the natural channel of Highland
Creek downstream. Funding for the remedial works will be provided by the
Ministry of Transportation and Metropolitan Toronto while the Authority's
contribution will be limited to the cost of the design investigation.
The 1988 budget of the Authority makes no provision for this project. It is
proposed, therefore, that the cost of the design investigation, estimated to
be $15,000, be funded from the local priorities funding allocation from the
Ministry of Natural Resources. The municipal portion of the funding will be
obtained from the project for Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization in
Metropolitan Toronto.
The engineering firm of Cumming-Cockburn Limited reviewed the erosion
problems throughout the Highland Creek watershed for the Authority in 1982
and is familiar with the problem at this site.

-Letter fr08 tbe Minister of tbe Bnvironaent
Earlier this year, the Ministry of the Environment released two reports by
Trow Consultants Limited concerning the quality of fill material at Tommy
Thompson Park. At Authority Meeting '2/88, staff was directed "to prepare
an outline of a Fill Quality Control Program that could be implemented by
the Authority and funded from revenues derived from lakefilling operations".
Subsequently, staff met with senior officials of the Ministry of the
Environment to review lakefilling procedures and identify ways in which the
quality of the material could be more carefully controlled. MOE agreed with
the approach suggested by Authority staff and, as a result, the Minister is
now requesting that the Authority serve as the Ministry's agent to develop
and implement the Lakefill Quality Control program for the entire
Metropolitan Toronto waterfront.
The Authority'S proposed program has many components, the most important of
which can be summarized as follow~. Firstl~, the development industry,
inclu~ing ocontractors,.excavatofs ~nd CQnsu~tants;.wo~rd:be~advised Othat
soil testing for priority polLutants must be undertaken prior to excavation
and the results must be submitted to MTRCA for review before tokens for the
disposal of fill will be sold. Secondly, Bills of Lading would be issued by
MTRCA at the time of the token sales in order to provide a check that the
material coming to the site has actually originated from a project for which
soil tests were approved. Thirdly, the control program would be funded by
fees charged for use of the lakefilling sites. At present, the fee is
$lO.OO per load and it is proposed that the fee be increased to $20.00 per
load effective July 4, 1988.

There are several other components to the program which are still being
developed. The program would have to address the control of materlal from
small untested sites, appropriate provisions for spot checks to monltor the
program, and procedures to control the use of material from municipal
projects such as sewer repairs where the quality of the material probably
exceeds the current guidelines. The Ministry of the Environment wlll also
be asked to review the current guidelines and adopt new guidelines based on
further scientific analysis of soil chemistry in the Metro region.

II-I MAPPING EXTBNSION PROGRAM
CANADA/ONTARIO PLOOD DAMAGB REDUCTION PROGRAM
-Status Report
In 1986, the Authority was successful in obtaining approval-in-principle for
a four-year $370,000.00 project under the CanadalOntario Flood Damage
Reduction program. The purpose of this project was to obtain 1:2,000 scale
flood plain mapping, on a priority basis, for watercourses identified within
the Authority's Mapping Extension program. Generally, these are
watercourses that drain less than l,300 hectares regulated by the Authority,
but for which no previous flood plain mapping has been completed.
In 1986 the Authority extended its l:2,000 scale topographic mapping to
complete most of the valley systems in the City of Brampton, the Town of
Richmond Hill and the Town of vaughan. This included the mapping of
22 valley systems, a total of 3,l60 hectares.
In 1987 the Authority extended its l:2,000 scale topographic mapping along
"ten valley systems in the municipalities of Scarborough and Markham.
Approximately l,385 hectares of mapping was obtained. In addition, airphoto
coverage suitable for the production of 1:2,000 scale mapping was estab-
lished along seven additional valley systems located in the Towns of Markham
and Whitchurch-Stouffville. Hydrologic studies for subsequent flood plain
analyses were completed for the headwaters of the Rouge River Watershed in
conjunction with the hydrologic analyses being carried out by the Authority
under its Rouge River Watershed Study.
In 1988 the Authority has received $70,000.00 under the FOR program. This
amount is less than the requested funding level of $100,000.00; however, the
Steering Committee of the FDR program remains committed to the full funding
of the four year project. Additional funds will therefore be transferred to
the Authority in October 1988 or allocated in 1989.
The 1988 MEP project will complete the flood plain mapping of the 32 valley
systems that were physically mapped in 1986 and 1987 under the FDR program.

-Guildwood parkway ErosioD Control Study
Resolution Il62 at Executive Committee Meeting 'l2/87 authorized staff to
retain the services of Keith Philpott Consulting Limited to carry out an
erosion control study for the Guildwood Parkway sector of the Scarborough
Bluffs. This report, completed in March 1988, at a total cost of
$29,l40.00, investigated various alternatives for shoreline protective
works. In reviewing the two main alternatives, it became clear that
further coastal engineering design techniques would be required to more
accurately assess the costs and level of erosion protection for each. The
original terms of reference for this study required a coastal engineering
design only for the recommended alternative; in this case, the offshore
armoured revetment.
The consultant has recommended that further study be carried out on the
headland-beach concept for shoreline protection. This additional study
will utilize numerical modelling to design the beach units and assess their
stability during the shifting of the beach material under changing wave
conditions. This theoretical coastal engineering design data will provide
more accurate information regarding the detailed beach configuration, beach
profile and level of protection and maintenance requirements.
Funds for this study are available under the "Project for Erosion Control
and Slope Stabilization in Metropolitan Toronto 1987-1991".

(a) provinci~l Retail Sales Taz Audit
The Ministry of Revenue, Retail Sales Tax Branch, conducted an audit of the
tax collection, remittance and payment systems of The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority from the period April l, 1985 to December
3l, 1987. As a result of that Audit, a number of deficiencies were
identified and this has resulted in an assessment of $46,952.93.
provision was made in the 1987 Budget to pay the assessment. Also, all
Authority Divisions affected by the Report have been notified of the results
and appropriate action has been taken to ensure compliance in future. To
assist with this, a list of provincially and federally tax-exempt items will
be available for distribution later this year.
It is essential that Authority staff comply with the requirements set out in
the Sales Tax Audit Report because, in the normal course of events, the
Authority will be subject to post-audit review to ensure that compliance is
achieved.
The Ministry of Revenue staff who conducted the Audit did so in a very
professional and reasonable manner. Finance staff worked closely with them
and were able to clarify a number of issues which initially were of interest
to the auditors but were dropped in the final analysis. There are always
"grey areas" in the application of the provincial legislation surrounding
sales tax and the Ministry staff proved quite reasonable in making
interpretations. Staff is comfortable with the results of the Audit and
satisfied that we can make all the necessary adjustments to ensure future
compliance.

The Ministry of Environment has advised the Authority that the Environmental
Assessment of the Tommy Thompson Park Master plan must address the quality
of material on the site, including any health implications, given the
findings of a study released by the Ministry earlier this year. As a
result, Authority staff has been in discussions with representatives of the
Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington. CCIW is planning some
studies of contaminant uptake by vegetation at Tommy Thompson Park in 1988
and is in a position to also obtain soil samples and perform chemical
analysis on behalf of the Authority. CCIW would rely on commercial lab
facilities for some of the analyses while performing the PCB analysis at its
own fac ili ties. The sample collection, chemical analyses and report
preparation can be done by CCIW at a total cost of $lO,OOO. In addition,
staff of CCIW will liaise with the Ministry of Environment to ensure that
the appropriate parameters are analyzed and that suitable guidelines for
material acceptable for lakefilling are developed.

-proposed Manage.ent Agree.ent
Woodbridge Area and Dufferin Street
In accordance with Authority policies as set out in the Watershed Plan,
Authority staff has had on-going discussions with staff of the Town of
vaughan with respect to management of Authority-owned lands for park and
recreational purposes in rapidly urbanizing areas of the Town.
During 1984 certain lands in the Woodbridge area of the Humber River
Watershed situate south of Woodbridge Avenue and in the Steeles Avenue,
Dufferin Street and Oakbank Pond areas of the Don River Watershed were
formally placed under Agreement in a manner similar to the long-standing
Management Agreement with the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
Authority-owned lands in the Kleinburg area were earlier made available to
the Town of Vaughan for local park purposes and form a part of Binder Twine
Park. The relationship between the Authority and the Town has worked well
concerning the utilization of the lands under Agreement as in other
municipalities where Management Agreements are in effect.
During early 1988, detailed discussions commenced regarding the possibility
of placing additional specific parcels of Authority-owned land under
Management Agreement with the Town of vaughan for park and recreational
purposes effective July l, 1988. The parcels involved consist of the
following locations:
(a) The former Fundale Park area - situated in the Humber River Watershed,
north of Woodbridge Avenue and between Islington Avenue and Clarence
Street;
(b) Woodbridge Flood Lands - consisting of two parcels situate on the east
side of Islington Avenue between Woodbridge Avenue and Willis Road;
(c) West Don Flood Lands - consisting of a parcel situate on the east side
of Dufferin Street, north of the C.N.R. line.
The Authority is to retain all flood control responsibilities with the Town
of Vaughan being responsible for maintenance of the lands on a day-to-day
basis. The Town is to submit plans to the Authority involving all proposed
development and no alterations to the existing grades or new development is
to be carried out by the Town prior to receipt of written approval from the
Authority. The Town also assumes responsibility for payment of realty taxes
for all lands included under Agreement.

for park and recreational purposes, located in the Humber River Watershed;
(a) immediately north of Woodbridge Avenue between Islington Avenue and
Clarence Street, (b) on the east side of Islington Avenue between Woodbridge
Avenue and Willis Road; (c) in the Don River Watershed on the east side of

1-4 DISPOSAL OP AUTHORITY-OWNED LANDS
-City of Scarborough, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
On January 23, 1970 the Authority acquired a total of 95.7 acres of land
from Tre Frazioni Ltd. The lands acquired included flood plain, valley,
table lands and a remnant parcel of table land held in the firm's ownership
which the firm was anxious to include in the total sale. A similar
transaction was arranged in March 1969 with C.N.R. for a total of 10.6
acres.
The flood plain, valley and abutting table lands acquired under these
transactions is situate within the Rouge River Valley, while the remnant
table land parcel is situate south of a hydro line, immediately south of the
boundary of the former Beare Road Landfill Site and is separated from the
Rouge valley by the C.N.R. Rail right-of-way.
The potential disposal of this 42-acre remnant parcel of land has been
reviewed with the Parks and Property Department of The Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto who is in agreement with disposal, subject to the
possibility of a small buffer strip being retained.
The Authority has received a number of enquiries regarding purchase of this
property in recent months for housing purposes and it would now appear to be
an opportune time to proceed with disposal of this surplus parcel. A
detailed technical review of the site was carried out by Authority staff and
it has been concluded that a maximum of 35 acres of the totally potential
surplus parcel should be disposed of with consideration being given to
retaining the remainder for buffer purposes.
The Authority currently has the opportunity of completing the purchase of
some five crucial acquisitions at key strategic locations in the Humber
River Watershed, the Don River Watershed and the Lake Ontario Waterfront
where regular funding is not currently available. The Province of Ontario
has been very supportive of allowing the Authority to retain the provincial
share of revenue from land sales to be used for high priority land
acquisitions in recent years and it is proposed that the funding from this
sale be used for high priority land acquiSitions.

Toronto, situate south of the Beare Road Landfill Site, be declared as
surplus to the requirements of the Authority,
THAT the availability of this parcel of surplus land be circulated to the
City of Scarborough to determine whether the City has any interest in
acquiring this land at market value;
THAT, failing which, the Secretary-Treasurer be directed to advertise this
land for disposal,
AND FURTHER THAT the Chairman of the Authority, together with the Chairmen
of the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board, the Conservation

THE MUNICIPALITY OP METROPOLITAN TORONTO: 1987-l991
-'31-33 and '43-47 Lakeland Drive
(Huaber River Watersbed
Staff is in receipt of two proposals, one from Terraprobe Limited and the
other from Bell and Associates, geotechnical engineering firms, for the
consulting services to carry out an erosion control and slope stabilization
study at 13l-33 and 143-47 Lakeland Drive for the estimated amounts of
$ll,lOO.OO and $12,500.00 respectfully.
The site is located on the West Humber River watershed in the City of
Etobicoke. The affected slope is approximately 90 metres in length and 13
metres high.
A slope failure occurred at the rear of '43-47 Lakeland Drive in September
of 1986 after the unusually heavy rainfalls of August and September. This
was followed by a similar slope failure behind i3l-33 Lakeland Drive in
March of 1987. Slope stability works were carried out at 135-41 Lakeland
Drive in 1974. This work is located between the two problem areas and
appears to be stable.
Our annual review and monitoring of the site appear to indicate that the
slope has stabilized somewhat; however, there are indications that the
instability may be progressing along the slope from '45-47 Lakeland Drive.
The nature of the slope stability is such that it is very difficult to
accurately define the scope of the problem or to assess the degree of hazard
and, therefore, in response to the concerns being expressed by the
homeowners of '3l-35 and 143-47 Lakeland Drive, the Authority is proposing
to carry out an Erosion Control and Slope Stabilization Study.
The study will consist of a site investigation and analysis to determine the
nature of ground movement and degree of hazard to the existing dwellings.
The study will also include, if required, a discussion of alternative
remedial works and recommendation of the most practical solution.
Staff has reviewed the two proposals received and is prepared to recommend
that Terraprobe be retained to carry out the study based on its technical
merits as well as being the lowest price received.
Funds for this study will be available under the Project for Erosion Control
and Slope Stabilization in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
1987-1991.

II-2 BRUCE' S MILL RESTORATION PROJECT
-Engineering Services
For several years, the restoration of Bruce's Mill, a focal point of Bruce's
Mill Conservation Area, has been a restoration project of the Authority in
conjunction with The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Foundation. As funding has been available, work has progressed with the
exterior of the building and almost all of the foundation work has been
completed. In 1981, William T. Trick, Ph. D., P. Eng. was engaged to develop
a technical description of the milling equipment and operation for the mi 11
and in 1982, Dr. Trick completed drawings and specifications for the
restoration of the water-wheel with associated bearings and shafts and
recommended work to be carried out for the restoration of appropriate
milling equipment and other mechanical aspects of the mill that would have
been functioning when the Grist Mill operated in the 1910 period.
During the past year, the Foundation's Bruce's Mill Campaign has been quite
successful and sufficient funds are now on hand to proceed with restoring
the water-wheel and operating equipment along with necessary structural
repairs which will permit pUblic access.
Engineering specifications and technical advice for this restoration work is
required and terms of reference for the work have been prepared. Dr. TriCk,
a noted expert in mill restoration, has been contacted and has submitted a
proposal to provide the necessary details to complete the next phase of the
restoration. Based on his expertise and his familiarity with Bruce's Mill,
engaging his services will expedite the restoration. Necessary funding is
available from The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation
for this work.

On June 5, 1988, the Hydro Transformer for the petticoat Creek Pool failed.
Staff contacted three companies; Lineman's Testing Company, K-Line Electric
Ltd., and Rondar Electric Ltd. Both Lineman's Testing Company, who had
previously done repairs to the Petticoat Creek system and K-Line Electric
Ltd. were unable to assist at this time due to other repair commitments.
Rondar Electric Ltd. provided a temporary transformer unit that permitted
operations to continue during the opening weekend of June II and 12. Rondar
Electric Ltd. has analyzed the problem and estimated repair costs to the
existing transformer at approximately $30,520.00. This cost includes the
temporary transformer provided, a temporary replacement of the damaged unit
while it is being repaired, all costs associated with the removal and
installation of the existing unit and repair work. Final cost may be
somewhat less depending on the extent of repairs required that can only be
determined when the unit has been torn down. The possibility of obtaining a
replacement unit rather than repairing the existing one has been explored
with PiCkering Hydro and no such unit is available.

1-2 HAZARD AND CONSERVATION LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT
WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY OP METROPOLITAN TORONTO:
APRIL, 1985
-Proposed Aaendaent
By resolution 191 at Meeting 15/85 on May 31, 1985, the Authority adopted a
major land acquisition project for the acquisition of remaining key parcels
situate within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and located within
the Humber, Don and Rouge River Watersheds, as well as the Lakeshore
Hospital property at the Sam Smith Waterfront area. The $48 million project
was approved by the Minister of Natural Resources on September 6, 1985.
Substantial progress has been made since that date on a number of important
acquisitions in the Don and Rouge River Watersheds, as well as at the
Lakeshore Hospital property.
The Authority's master plan for the acquisition of floodplain and valley
land, approved by the Province of Ontario in 1961, included provision for
the acquisition of virtually all privately-owned floodplain land from the
mouth of the Humber River to Steeles Avenue. While the majority of the
lands included within this plan is now in public ownership, forming a
substantial part of the Metropolitan Toronto Park system, it was brought to
our attention earlier this year that a major private holding situate
immediately south of Hwy. '40l, west of Weston ~oad, was being utilized for
industrial purposes.
This parcel, situate in the floodplain of the main branch of the Humber
River, known as 70 Dee Avenue in the City of North York, was offered for
sale to the Authority in March 1988. The property is owned by W.R. Draper
Company Limited and HSM/JEM Investments Inc. and is inhabited by Arthur
Press 1978 Ltd. The parcel consists of 2.57 acres, more or less, improved
with an industrial building containing a total of approximately 8,500 square
feet.
Negotiations have been conducted with the owners and their solicitor,
Mr. William Hershorn, The Thistletown plaza, 964 Albion Road, Suite '103,
Rexdale, Ontario,.M9V lA7, and a tentative arrangement has been made to
secure a three month option on the property at a proposed purchase price of
$785,000.00, plus payment of vendor's legal costs.
Staff is of the opinion that the subject site is a critical location for
acquisition at this time and it is suggested that officials of the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario be
requested to give consideration to inclusion of this property under the
Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition Project Within the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto - April 1985. The proposed acquisition costs included
in the original project were based on preliminary property estimates only
and it is proposed that the funding for the acquisition of this property be
derived from the existing total funding as earlier approved.
Res. 1109 Moved by: Helen White
Seconded by: Brian Harrison
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Hazard and Conservation Land
Acquisition project Within the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - April
1985 be amended to include provision for the acquisition of the W.R. Draper
Company Limited and HSM/JEM Investments Inc. property at a total purchase
price of $785,000.00, plus costs~
THAT the appropriate Authority officials be directed to approach officials
of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario to

-Property: Dorotbea Milligan and Jacqueline Clarke
Maple Creek Par.
During the early 1960's, the Authority expropriated 37.324 acres of Highland
Creek floodplain land near Lawrence Avenue East and Galloway Road in the
then Borough of Scarborough from Dorothea Milligan and her daughter,
Jacqueline Clarke. Situate on the property at the date of expropriation was
a frame structure utilized by the owners to operate a catering business for
weddings and banquets.
Compensation for the expropriation was agreed to by Minutes of Settlement in
October, 1964 issued by the Ontario Municipal Board. The Authority was
required to lease back to the former owners 4.3l9 acres of the property,
including the frame building for a period of five years and three months
from October 1, 1964. This lease was later extended for an additional year
to December 31, 1970. On January l, 1971, the property was turned over to
The Metropolitan Corporation under the master Valleyland Agreement between
the Authority and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the property
c~ntinued to be leased by Metro to the former owners. Recent inspections by
the Scarborough Fire Department indicate that extensive renovations to the
building are required to comply with fire and safety standards.
After extensive review and discussion, it has been determined that it is in
the best interests of the Authority and the Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto to terminate the tenancy effective December 3l, 1988 and arrange for
demolition of all remaining buildings on the property.

a. 1989 Budgetary Process
The Authority will be continuing the budgetary process begun in 1986, which
identifies, in the preliminary estimates, priority ranking of expenditures
over and above an appropriate base compared with the 1988 approved
expenditure level. As was done with the 1988 preliminary estimates,
explanations will be provided as to what is included in the so-called 'base'
budget and additional explanations for each level of spending over and above
this base.
In 1987 and 1988, the preliminary estimates represented the consolidation of
divisional and program budgets with an overview of priorities on a
corporate-wide basis. While this is a useful method of viewing expenditure
information, it is frequently difficult to evaluate corporate priorities
unless they are related to the various provincial funding programs.
Accordingly, for the 1989 preliminary estimates, staff will be presenting
the priority ranking in terms of the various types of grant funding for
which the Authority is eligible. In this way, we can anticipate the
provincial grant and evaluate program and divisional priorities in terms of
available provincial funding.
b. 1989 Budget SChedule
Appendix FA.l47 highlights the key dates within the budgetary process
timetable. The budget process commences in June 1988 and concludes with the
approval of the 1989 final budget at Meeting 12 in March of 1989. The
schedule is designed to ensure that preliminary estimates are available for
discussion with our municipal funding partners and the Ministry of Natural
Resources as required in their own budgetary processes.
c. Inflationary G~idelines
The following inflationary forecasts for 1989 have been identified:
MCLeod Young weir 4.2'
Royal Bank 4.5'
Conference Board of Canada 4.8'
Woods Gordon 4.8'
The average inflationary rate predicted for the Metropolitan Toronto area is
4.6'. In its recent request for a ten-year financial forecast, the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has suggested a rate of 5'. In 1988,
the estimate of inflation for budget purposes was 4.5'. Given the
foregoing, staff is prepared to recommend that we use 4.5' as a guideline
except where more specific revenue and expenditure estimates are available.
d. 1989 Fee Schedule
The proposed fee schedule for admissions, programs and services will be
presented in time for consideration by the Authority at its meeting on
October 28, 1988. As has been the Authority's practice, the fee schedule
will not address pricing for retail goods, for which pricing is determined
by wholesale costs and other market conditions.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report on 1989 budget guidelines
be received~
AND FURTHER THAT a 4.5' general inflationary guideline be applied in the
preparation of the 1989 preliminary estimates, except where more specific
revenue and expenditure estimates are available.

1-9.2 EMPLOYBB COMPUTER PURCHASB PLAN
The use of micro computers has grown rapidly in recent years. Staff
identified, in the Employee Attitude Survey conducted last year, that they
would welcome the opportunity to learn more about computers. A number of
respondents suggested that the Authority provide some form of assistance to
enable employees to purchase their own computer equipment for home use.
There are advantages to the Authority in providing some assistance to
employees. Given the growing number of computerized functions, staff
training on computers is becoming increasingly important. Experience shows
that people who have their own computers are much more creative in
investigating new applications, new software and new approaches to solving
computer problems. Once the basic computer literacy threshold is achieved,
the learning curve diminishes greatly and the employer's "cost of learning"
declines.
The Authority is in a position to offer to employees computer equipment at
the same price paid by the Authority, a price reflecting volume discount and
the desire of our chosen supplier, Best Computers, to continue to do volume
business with the Authority. Appendix FA.l49 illustrates the equipment
which would be offered.
Employee Commitment
. Employees would be asked to identify a package of equipment they wish
to purchase.
. The employee will accept full responsibility for the equipment from
the time it is delivered, including maintenance, trainiqg, software,
etc.
. The employee would also have to agree that the equipment would not be
resold for one year.
Authority Commitment
. The Authority would facilitate the ordering of the employee equipment
from Best Computers.
. The Authority would arrange delivery of the equipment.to one location
. An orientation session may be organized to instruct employees on how
to set up and operate the equipment they have purchased.
. To be eligible to participate in the Payroll Deduction Plan, the
employees would have to be full-time staff and would sign an
undertaking that, should they leave the employ of the Authority prior
to the conclusion of the payroll deduction, they would reimburse the
Authority fully for the remaining payments, and failing that, they
would allow the Authority to deduct outstanding payments from their
vacation or other outstanding wages/salary.
. Each full-time employee participating in the Payroll Deduction Plan
would be eligible to receive up to $l500, to be repaid over 26
regular pay periods.
. The Authority would accept no responsibility for equipment purchased
by the employee.
Computer Supplier Commitment
. Sest Computer Systems would agree to provide equipment to the staff
of the Authority at the same price as offered to the Authority.
. The computer supplier would agree to provide warranties and support
to each employee as set out in their standard contract.

1-9.2 EMPLOYEE COMPUTBR PURCHASE PLAN contd.
With regard to the foregoing proposal, the Authority would incur some costs
in terms of the staff time necessary to organize the ordering and delivery
of equipment. In addition, the Authority's systems analyst might provide an
initial two- or three-hour orientation seminar during which purchasers would
have the opportunity to set up the equipment at an Authority facility and
learn the basics of how to connect the various pieces and start the machine
working. This contribution of staff time is a reasonable investment in
training of a large number of Authority staff.
In terms of actual costs, the payroll Deduction program would be minimal and
could be absorbed by the Accounting Section. The Authority would lose some
interest earnings on the monies paid to the supplier when the equipment is
purchased. If, for example, 30 employees were to utilize the $1500 payroll
deduction, the Authority would lose over one year interest revenue of about
$2,000. Given the benefits to the Authority of increased computer skills,
this investment of approximately $70. per person seems reasonable.
The Employee purchase plan would be made available to full-time staff who
could participate in the payroll Deduction program and to part-time and
seasonal staff and Members who could participate but would have to make an
outright purchase of the equipment. Employees and Members would have to
agree to participate before a certain close-off date. The program would
conclude within one year and a decision as to whether it would be offered in
1989 would depend on pricing received from the Authority's cc . ~ter
equipment suppliers.

II-1.1 REPORT ON AUTHORITY AUCTION
At the April 8, 1988 Executive Meeting, approval was given to dispose of
surplus equipment and miscellaneous items via public auction.
The Authority's first auction of surplus equipment was subsequently held on
Saturday, May 28, 1988 at Don Reinhart's Auction facility on Hwy.lO, north
of Brampton.
Approximately 150 registered bidders were in attendance for the auction.
Two members of the Equipment Committee were also in attendance to
monitor/audit the sale of items. The auctioneer was extremely co-operative
i professional and was pleased with the sale from his business point of
w. The auction included a list of 430 items, the majority of which were
.posed of at the sale. A few items of no value did not sell and the
~uctioneer agreed to dispose of same in his garbage container.
Staff in attendance at the auction were pleased with the sale and revenues
exceeded the estimates projected.
The sale generated a gross revenue of $37,245.00. The net proceeds (less
15' commission) of $31,658.25 have been credited to the reserve account and
to the accounts of the locations from which the item originated, as per the
Disposal pOlicy.
The following represents the breakdown between the chargeback system and
miscellaneous surplus items supplied from various locations.

FLOODPLAIN MAPPING EXTBNSIOR PROGRAM
-Consultant Selection
The Authority is currently carrying out a program to develop floodplain
mapping of many reaches of the watercourses under its juriSdiction which
were not mapped when its Watershed plan was prepared in 1980. These
reaches are mostly in small tributaries of the main watersheds with
drainage areas less than 1,300 hectares.
There are three components to this mapping program: topographic mapping,
engineering studies (hydrology and hydraulics), and preparation of
flood line maps.
Topographic mapping for the required sites has been initiated under the
Canada/Ontario Flood Damage Reduction Program (F.D.R.P.) under a project
entitled M.T.R.C.A. Mapping Extension program (MEP) . Eleven of the sites
for which topographic mapping was completed in 1986 and 1987 are on the
Rouge River in the Towns of Markham and Richmond Hill. Twenty-seven
mapsheets were required to map these sites.
In 1987, the firm of Marshall, MaCklin, Monaghan Ltd. was retained to
interface the hydrology developed for the Rouge River Urban Drainage Plan
Study with that of the Authority's Mapping Extension Program. This
hydrology study is now complete.
For the eleven sites on the Rouge River previously noted, only the
hydraulics study and map preparation are required to complete the floodline
mapping.
", this end, terms of reference were prepared for this work and approved by
J.R.P. Four firms were invited to submit proposals, as follows:
R. E. winter and Associates Limited - $40,260.00
R. V. Anderson Associates Limited - $44,950.00
MacLaren's plansearch - $51,265.00
M. M. Dillon Limited - $52,830.00.
Although there were strengths and weaknesses in each proposal, the Project
Administration Team, consisting of Christine COOdy-Hamilton, M.T.R.C.A.,
Helal Sayeed, M.N.R., and Syed Moin, D.O.E., independently and unanimously
selected the proposal by R. V. Anderson Associates Limited for the
following reasons:
- corporate experience in successfully completing F.D.R.P. projects,
- staff commitment and experience
- clarity in procedure/methodology
- thorough understanding of the scope of the project
- familiarity with '79 Rouge River hydraulics
- reasonable scheduling
- reasonable cost.
Funds for this work are available through the 1988 Mapping Extension
Program Account No. ll2-ll. This is an F.D.R.P. funded project and is
therefore comprised of 50' Federal grant, 40' provincial grant and 10'

JULY 29, 1988
1-9.1 MAJOR MAIN'l'BNANCB RESERVE
In the course of finalizing the 1987 Financial Statements, a decision was
made to place a portion of the 1987 surplus, $30,000, into a reserve fund
for major maintenance. In discussions with Metropolitan Toronto Budget
Sub-Committee Member, Mr. Moorish, Metro agreed that this was a reasonable
use of surplus funds but requested that we clarify how the reserve would be
used.
Major maintenance is defined as significant repair, replacement or upgrading
of existing facilities beyond routine maintenance carried out on an annual
basis.
In 1987 the Authority began to evaluate major maintenance requirements of
all its facilities. Staff is continuing this evaluation and is now in a
position to recommend a policy regarding future major maintenance funding.
The Authority operates a growing number of buildings and facilities. This
property is now valued at about $23,200,000 for insurance purposes. The
valuation of this property grows annually as a result of inflation and
facility improvements. provision should be made to accommodate extraor-
dinary items which are of high cost and those of an emergency nature.
While the Authority maintains a vigorous program of routine maintenance, at
some point major maintenance is required. For example, the Authority's Head
Office is now more than 15 years old and will soon require a new roof at a
cost of about $100,000. Similarly, Field Centres and the Kortright Centre
for Conservation may require major roofing repairs in the tens of thousands
of dollars. The Black Creek pioneer Village Visitors Centre at some point
in its future will require a new roof and new air conditioning equipment.
The cost of such repairs will be well beyond the ability of the Black Creek
budget to support in anyone year.
The purpose of the Major Maintenance Reserve is to facilitate emergency
repairs that are unbudgeted and to reduce the budgetary impact of major
maintenance. A recent example of emergency repairs is the need for a new
electrical transformer at Petticoat Creek. The $30,000 cost of repairing
the transformer was not budgeted and had to be absorbed in the Field
Operations budget by deleting other maintenance items.
Emergencies which occur at the beginning of the year may be absorbed in the
Budget by deleting other items. This could have a negative impact on
planned major maintenance. However, the same emergency repair occurring
late in the year when maintenance budgets have been fully expended could not
be absorbed and would result in the Budget being overspent. The Major
Maintenance Reserve acts as a contingency fund for such emergency repairs.
Also, the Reserve would be used to match dollars to alleviate the single
year impact of a high cost maintenance project, such as a new roof.
While it is difficult to estimate the actual amount needed to sustain the
Reserve, staff has used l' of total insured property value as a rough target
against which to measure growth of the Reserve. Based on current insured
values, the target is in the order of $232,000. It is recommended that new
projects, involving creation of capital facilities that will eventually have
major maintenance requirements, should be budgeted in such a way that l' of
the initial capital cost of the facility is contributed to the Reserve.
Also, contributions based on known existing major maintenance requirements
would be required to ensure the fund reaches its target of l' of insured
value. Staff has prepared a list of high cost major maintenance items that
are likely to occur over the next ten years. This list will be used to
forecast needs and to establish contribution levels required to ensure that
sufficient funds are available in the Reserve. Finally, where in a given
year the Authority found itself in a significant surplus position, it is
recommended that a portion of that surplus, at the direction of the
Authority, might be placed in the Major Maintenance Reserve.

1-9.1 MAJOR MAINTENANCE RESERVE contd.
Funds from the Reserve would only be expended at the direction of the
Authority. At the beginning of each fiscal year, as part of the budget
process, expenditures from the fund for high cost items would be identified.
On approval of the Budget, staff would be authorized to spend up to these
amounts. Emergency situations would require approval of the Executive
Committee where the expenditure exceeded the spending limits of staff (e.g.
in excess of $25,000). Emergency situations involving major maintenance
would be tabulated at year end and, if existing budget conditions could not
cover them, a request would be made of the Authority for approval to
transfer the necessary funds from the Reserve.
Creation of the Major Maintenance Reserve serves to enable the Authority to
plan its future major maintenance requirements and reduce the budgetary
impact of significant projects on a year over year basis. This would smooth
the budgetary increases normally required which is something desired by the
Authority's funding partners - particularly Metropolitan Toronto.

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the following policy for a Major
Maintenance Reserve be adopted:
. the target value of the Reserve be equal to not less than l' of the
total insured property values of the Authority,
. funds from the Reserve may be used to finance emergency major
maintenance items for which funding was not budgeted and for which
annual operating budgets are insufficient,
. funds from the Reserve be expended upon major maintenance items
identified by staff as high cost items requiring funding in addition
to that which may be provided for in the annual operating budget,
. contributions to.the Reserve be made by Operating Divisions on the
basis of a formula relating to known major maintenance requirements,
. for new capital projects which will have future major maintenance
requirements, an amount equal to l' of the total capital cost of such
facilities be contributed to the Reserve in the year following that in
which the capital cost is incurred,
. in a given year where the Authority has a surplus of revenues over
expenditures, the Authority may direct that all or a portion of that
surplus be directed to the Major Maintenance Reserve,
. staff report to the Authority at least annually on the status of the
Major Maintenance Reserve.

II-5 WOODBR"IDGE CIIAIDIELS CLEAR-OUT
-Huaber River Watershed
At Executive Committee Meeting #6/88, under Res. 'l04, staff was directed to
investigate the condition of the Humber Channel in the woodbridge area and
report back to the Executive Committee on what steps, if any, are required
to clean it.
The WOOdbridge Flood Control Channels were built in 1962 and are located on
the Humber River at the confluence of the Main and East Branches, in the
Town of Vaughan. On the Main Branch the channel extends from Highway #7
upstream to the Board of Trade Golf Course, located west of Clarence Street
in Woodbridge. On the East Branch, the channel extends from the confluence
east to Islington Avenue. The channel is basically a rip rap and grass
lined channel with two' large concrete weirs located at the beginning of each
channel on the two branches. The total length of the channel is
approximately 1850 m.
Regular maintenance activities carried out on the channel include inspec-
tion, debris and vegetation removal and rip rap repairs. Major maintenance
has included periodic clean-out of sediment. In the past the Authority has
removed the sediment at a time when it was felt the capacity of the channel
was reduced to the point where the risk of flooding was significantly
increased. A major clean-out of the channel was last carried out in 1985.
Sediment has again built up to the point where staff feels it should be
removed and is therefore proposing that this be carried out in 1989 at an
estimated cost of $30,000.00, subject to funds being available.
Staff has prepared and submitted a Major Maintenance Project file for the
clean-out of the WOOdbridge Channel to the Ministry of Natural Resources for
ranking and 1989 funding consideration.

-Proposed Acquisition of the W.R. Draper Company Limited
and HSM/JEM Investments Inc. Property
Humber River watershed
At Authority Meeting #5/88, held on Friday, July 29, 1988, Resolution #128
was approved, as follows:
"THAT the Hazard and Conservation Land Acquisition project Within
the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto - April 1985 be amended
to ~nclude provision for the acquisition of the W.R. Draper
Company Limited and HSM/JEM Investments Inc. property at a total
purchase price of $785,000.00, plus costs,
"THAT the appropriate Authority officials be directed to approach
officials of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the
Province of Ontario to obtain the required approvals,
"AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be
authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to
give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any additional
necessary approvals and the execution of any documents."
As directed, staff has consulted with officials of the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario. It is their opinion that
it would not be appropriate at this time to amend the Metro Toronto Hazard
and Conservation Land Acquisition Project, given the funding uncertainty
brought about by the Torvalley decision. However, Metro officials are
supportive of the purchase of the Draper property.
It was agreed that the general Land Acquisition Project might be a more
appropriate vehicle. While funding is not included in the budget for this
project in 1988, there is some indication that the Province would provide
additional funds to cover the provincial share. Metropolitan Toronto
officials said that the municipal share may have to be included in the 1989
fiscal year.
Authority staff is confident that funds can be found and is proceeding to
review this with provincial staff.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
1-3 REQUEST FOR SPECIAL POLICY AREA STATUS BY THB
CITY OP YORK POR '!'BE BLACK CREEK DAMAGE CENTRES
The Ministry of Natural Resources is in receipt of a request for approval in
principle from the City of York for a Special policy Area designation. The
area in question is located within the regional storm floodplain of the
Black Creek between Weston Road and Jane Street.
This area was designated as a damage centre by the Authority in its 1980
Watershed plan, recognizing it as requiring special status due to the level
of development, the importance of the area to the community and the fact
that acquisition is not a viable flood protection option. Also, a flood
control channel had been constructed in the 1960's and offers 1 in 100 year
flood protection or greater.
The request for approval in principle for Special Policy Area status by the
City of York is to bring the Authority's damage centre designation in
conformity with the Provincial Flood Plain Policy. As part of this process,
approval by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is
required in support of the City of York's request. Authority staff has been
working with the City of York, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs on this issue for some time and will continue
as the process for Special policy Area status proceeds.
Staff is therefore recommending that the Executive Committee recommend
approval the City of York's request for approval in principle of a Special
policy Area for the Authority's damage centre entitled: "Humber River -
Black Creek - Weston Road to Rockcliffe Boulevard - Site 1..

The Authority is in receipt of a request from the owner of a residence

of the proposed sale. In accordance with the policies of our Watershed
plan, discussions are also continuing with staff regarding the remaining
Authority-owned lands at this location being placed under Management

MUNICIPALITY OP METROPOLITAN TORONTO: 1987-1991, AND
LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT: 1987-1991
-Lake Ontario waterfront
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has been
responsible for the implementation of erosion control measures along the
Lake Ontario waterfront since 1972. In excess of $4 million has been spent
under this component of the Authority's activities, with the major
undertakings being carried out in the City of scarborough, along the
Scarborough Bluffs.
The Authority has generally been successful in obtaining the owners'
co-operation to carry out the various works across private lands, with title
being deeded to the Authority for nominal consideration. The Authority's
1988 Budget includes provision for the carrying out of shoreline protective
works in the Guildwood parkway and Sylvan Avenue areas. Executed documents
are at hand for the majority of the properties at each location. The lack
of completion of arrangements with certain outstanding owners is currently
delaying completion of the essential remedial works.
While intensive negotiations are still proceeding with the remaining owners
whose property is required to allow the shoreline works at these two areas
to be completed, it is now deemed advisable to be in a position to proceed
under the provisions of the Expropriations Act R.S.O. 1980, and the
Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1980, to ensure that all lands are
available for construction to be fully completed at these areas at the
earliest possible date.
The lands required for completion of these works are situate within the Lake
Ontario Hazard Land Component of the Authority's Land Acquisition project:
1987-1991.

II-6 PROJECT POR FLOOD PROTECTION - DIXIE/DUNDAS STREETS DAMAGE CENTRE
-Little Etobicoke Creek, City of Mississauga
Regional Municipality of peel
A project to provide flood protection along the Little Etobicoke Creek in
the vicinity of Dixie Road and Dundas Street was adopted by the Authority at
Meeting # 2/88, Resolution #40. At that time, the project was identified as
being in two phases, with Phase One being the Final Engineering and
preparation of the Environmental Study Report in 1989. Phase Two would
involve the construction of the identified works in 1990.
With the proposed works at the Tyndall Nursing Home being delayed, the City
of Mississauga has requested that the Dixie/Dundas works begin this year.
Therefore, the Authority proposes to undertake a portion of Phase One in
1988, with a fine tuning of the engineering and development of sufficient
details to provide for a Public Meeting as required under the Environmental
Assessment Act.

III-l TWINNING OP THE HUMBER RIVER PROJECT
At meeting #14/87 on October 30, 1987, the Executive Committee instructed
staff to investigate the request from York L.A.C.A.C. to participate in the
Twinning of the Humber River with the Humber River in Yorkshire, England.
staff has attended several meetings with the L.A.C.A.C. representatives from
municipalities that front along the Humber River. In addition to the
twinning proposal, the group has suggested that the Humber River be
designated a heritage river by the Federal Government.
A program called "Celebrate the Humber" has been put in place for
october 15, 1988. Each L.A.C.A.C. group will be responsible for organizing
an event such as a picnic, nature tour or display on that day. In support
of this effort, Authority staff will be presenting a film, slide show and
talk on Humber River flooding (Hurricane Hazel) at the Kortright Theatre.
Long term objectives of the group include the following:
a) To twin the Humber Rivers in Metro Toronto and Humberside
b) To promote the Humber River heritage resources through the Heritage
Designation.
c) To encourage the Authority to coordinate long term community group
efforts at rehabilitation of the forest, wildlife, water and publiC use
resources along the Humber River.
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has been
identified by the L.A.C.A.C. groups as the most suitable agency to pursue
the long term objectives. The current level of activity is limited. The
"Celebrate the Humber. project has the potential to be an annual event that
could attract strong community support for conservation efforts. In
addition, the heritage resource of the Humber River valley could be
developed as part of a Heritage Trail program in cooperation with local
municipalities and L.A.C.A.C.
Continued participation in this project could involve limited promotion,
project coordination and committee liaison. Funding requirements would be
limited to that required to support technical staff.

1-1.2 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE CBARGE POR WRITTEN RESPONSES
REGARDING AUTHORITY POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
The following report and recommendation were recommended to the Finance and
Administration Advisory Board by the Water and Related Land Management
Advisory Board at its Meeting '6/88, held September 23, 1988.
The purpose of the report is to review the current administrative service
charge for written responses regarding Authority policies and regulations
and to discuss a process within which this service charge can be reviewed
and updated annually, based on increased costs for providing this service.
BACKGROUND
The issues providing the rationale for the initiation of the administrative
service charge are:
1. The tremendous volume of correspondence received annually by
the plan Review Section of the Authority,' in excess of over 2,000
title search requests, 1986.
2. The limited human resource base of the plan Review Section to
expeditiously process the high volume of correspondence,
processing time approximately 1-3 months behind schedule, 1986.
3. Continued provincial underfunding Gf Authority preventative
and enhancement programs, particularly, funding of administration
for augmenting staff resources.
4. The trend developing in other conservation authorities to
implement a user pay approach for similar functions of their
plan input and review programs.
Further, the administrative service charge was to be implemented for the
recovery of some of the costs associated with these written responses such
as photocopying, stationery, postage, typing, etc. The fee was not being
charged for the information itself nor would it be charged for requests
requiring verbal responses only.
Revenue generated by the administrative service charge would be allocated to
improve the overall efficiency of the plan Review section and to shorten the
response time for title searches and other plan input and review activities.
The above administrative service charge of $20 per request for written
responses was implemented, effective June 1, 1987. A contract position
within the plan Review Section was established to facilitate the process.
B-167
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 112/88, OCTOBER 14, 1988
SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
I-l.2 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE CHARGE FOR WRITTEN RESPONSES
REGARDING AUTHORITY POLICIES AND REGULATIONS contd.
DISCUSSION
As a direct result of implementing the administrative service charge, there
is no current backlog in the response for title searches. The contract
technician who was retained to expedite this process has responded to
approximately 3,000 lawyers' letters within the last twelve months. This
figure compares to the 2,100 lawyers' letters that were processed in 1986.
The increased volume and the increased administrative costs, both real and
inflationary, associated with the processing of the lawyers' letters have
necessitated a review of the $20.00 fee. In this regard:
- it is expected that the volume of lawyers' letters received will be
maintained or will continue to increase gradually,
- costs associated with the processing of the lawyers' letters, such as
photocopying, stationery, postage, typing, etc., are expected to increase
over time as a result of inflation and increased costs of materials,
- it is expected that current shortfalls in provincial funding for program
administration will continue,
- since adjoining conservation authorities currently implement a similar
administrative service charge, there may be merit in establishing some
consistency in the fee structure itself.
It is, therefore, recommended that the administrative service charge for
lawyers' letters be increased to $30.00 effective January 1, 1989. In
addition, it is recommended that a review of this fee be made annually as
part of the Authority's budget preparation process.
The Authority's approval of the $20.00 administrative fee did not include a
process for on-going review and/or fee adjustment. For this reason, the
recommended fee increase and process for review are being brought forward
now as a separate item from the 1989 Authority Budget. The approval of the
preliminary Estimates would, in the future, address any proposed change in
fee.
It is recognized that the user pay approach for conservation authority plan
input and review programs covers a much larger range of issues. In this
regard, staff will be bringing to Water and Related Land Management Advisory
Board Meeting 17 a repor~'on the establishment of a processing fee for
applications received under the Fill, Construction and Alteration to
waterways Regulations.

1-1.4 RECORDS RETENTION POLICY
A centralized filing system to store and maintain the Authority's records
has been implemented. The centralized system provides for storage of
documents in a proper facility within Head Office and frees up valuable
floor space by eliminating inefficient filing cabinets. We now have about
17,600 files in the Central Filing System. Eventual capacity is about
20,000 files.
Documents are also held in storage at a number of Authority facilities
including Black Creek Pioneer village, the Bolton Records Centre and various
other locations. The Central Filing System deals only with records stored
at Head Office. Documents stored at other sites will be dealt with as time
permits.
Staff is in the process of establishing a computerized inventory of records
stored in the Central Filing System. This inventory will be extended to
include records held in inactive storage and those held off-site. In
addition, we have been introducing a system of microfilming which meets
standards set by the Government of Canada to enable the documents recorded
in this format to be legally recognized.
To continue the development of the Authority's record management system, it
is necessary to adopt a Records Retention Policy which will provide specific
retention periOds for various categories of documents. The Records
Retention policy gives staff authority to destroy those records which are no
longer needed. The policy attached to this report has been reviewed by
senior staff and the Authority's solicitors. The Policy was prepared after
study of Records Retention policies generally in use in ontario
municipalities and as recommended by the provincial government.
~
The policy is a conservative one which ensures that records cannot be
destroyed without permission from the Director responsible or the General
Manager, and provides that, if there is any doubt as to the appropriateness
of the destruction of the document, it. can be retained as long as necessary.
As staff works with the system and our review of existing documents
continues, further refinements are anticipated resulting in the destruction
of some documents now designated as being required for lengthy periods.
For example, the Authority has malntained its financial records well beyond
any legal requirement. This has been done because there was no authoriza-
tion from the Authority to destroy these records. The retention schedule
takes into account the requirements of agencies such as Revenue Canada and
the Ontario Ministry of Revenue in terms of the time frame for keeping
records. Wherever necessary, we have consulted provincial legislation
governing records and staff has been sensitive to the need to keep records
in areas where future litigation may result. It is anticipated that this
policy and the attached schedule, Appendix FA.17S, will be amended from time
to time as the system is used and refined.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
1-1.5 ADJUSTMENTS TO PERSONNEL POLICIES B-1, B-3 AND 8-6
Through the Authority's insurance brokers, the Alexander Group, staff has
negotiated an adjustment to Employment Benefit pians which provides improved
benefits at no additional premium cost.
The following changes to Employee Benefit Policies are recommended:
Group Insurance
The life insurance benefit currently provides an amount of insurance equal
to 200% of annual earnings to a maximum of $150,000. It is proposed that
the maximum be increased to $200,000.
Long Term Disability
Full time employees are currently eligible to receive 75% of salary or wages
up to a monthly maximum of $3,500 provided the employee has been employed
for a minimum of 15 weeks and continuously disabled for 15 weeks. It is
proposed that the monthly maximum be increased to $4,000.
Early Retirement provisions
There is no provision in the Authority's personnel policy for employees
taking early retirement to continue to participate in any of the Authority's
benefit plans. Given the increasing trend towards early retirement and use
of the "90 factor", it is prudent to offer employees some option to continue
to participate in group plans. It is proposed that those employees who

1-2 A GREENSPACE PLAN POR THB GREATER TORONTO AREA
At meeting '5/87 held July 24, 1987, the Executive Committee appointed an
Evaluation and Review Committee consisting of Mr. William Foster, Mrs. Lois
Hancey, Mr. william G. MCLean, Mr. Gordon patterson, Mr. Emil Kolb and Mr.
John MCGinnis to evaluate, annually, the Authority's programs and Objectives
in relation to the goals and future direction of the Authority, and to
receive the annual program performance review conducted by staff.
As a part of its responsibilities, the Evaluation and Review Committee
recommended that staff be directed to prepare strategy papers which would be
forward-looking and to set out an approach to the conservation of the
renewable resources in the area under the jurisdiction of The Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in the coming decades.
over the past several months, this work has been undertaken and has resulted
in the preparation of A Greens~ace plan for the Greater Toronto Region.
This plan sets out a conservatlon program which lS complementary to the
Authority's Watershed plan, and is largely in response to the urban
expansion which is characteristic of the Greater Toronto Region.

SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
1-2 A GREENSPACE PLAN FOR THE GREATER TORONTO AREA contd.
In addition to recommending the continuance of the existing flood control,
erosion control and land acquisition programs, the Plan recommends new
initiatives in the Authority's headwater area; a leadership role for the
Authority in bringing together provincial and municipal interests as they
affect resource management in the urbanizing portions of our waterSheds, and
a strengthening of the provincial commitment to the waterfront program.
The plan includes the strategies already approved by the Authority for
access to and public use of Authority lands. The Plan also makes recommen-
dations with respect to conservation education and an approach to dealing
with archaeological resources on Authority lands. When put together, these
elements provide a framework for greenspace in the area under the
Authority's jurisdiction which can be described as a continuous waterfront
land area linked to the headwaters by green corridors within the major river
valleys. This land assembly, in addition to providing essential greenspace,
provides a basis for trail linkages.
It is anticipated that A Greens ace plan for the Greater Toronto
be the basis for the commltment by provinclal and munlclpa governments to
managing resources in the greater Toronto area. In order to provide a means
of dealing with the proposals, the following steps should be taken:
.oiscussion and approval by the Authority,
.Submission to the province of Ontario, member municipalities and interest
groups for comment and support,
.Submission to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation
for information and support,
.Submission to neighbouring conservation authorities for information and
support,
.preparation of projects for adoption ~y the Authority which will provide
the required funding.

SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION
The following item came before the water and Related Land Management
Advisory Board Meeting .6/88, held on September 23, 1988.
11-1 CLEAN OUT OF RIVER CHANNEL - OAK'RIDGES VICINITY
-Humber River Watershed
At Executive Meeting #9, August 12, 1988, it was resolved:
"THAT in response to a request from residents in the area, staff be
directed to examine the possioility of clearing the waterway
approximately 210 feet from Wendy Way to east of the channel in the Oak
Ridges Area".
Staff has reviewed the request and has prepared the following report.
The reach of channel which is of concern lies between wendy Way and Parker
Avenue in Oak Ridges on the East Humber River. This is a 70m length of
natural river channel, averaging 3-5m in width, which connects the Oak
Ridges Meadows (a natural marsh area) located to the east of Wendy Way
through to the Authority's Oak Ridges Channel Improvements which begin at
Parker Avenue and continue west. The Authority owns the property identified
as 678 and 771 on the property plan which includes most of the Oak Ridges
Meadows and the natural low flow channel between the Parker Avenue and Wendy
Way road allowances. All our lands in this area are under agreement with'
the Town of Richmond Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Ritza, who have requested the clean
out, live at No. 2 Wendy way.
The Authority was also contacted by Mr. Ritza, through Councillor
T. Simpson, in January of this year regarding the possibility of cleaning
out the channel through the marsh to their property. Mr. Ritza's concerns
included:
(a) improving the channel for skating,
(b) improving the duck viewing opportunities by reducing aquatic
vegetation along the channel, and
(c) reducing the number of mosquitoes.
Staff from the Resource Management and Engineering and Development Sections
investigated the problem at that time and recommended against the clean out
because it would not have any significant impact on:
(a) improving waterfowl production,
(b) decreasing the mosquito population, or
(c) improving t~ drainage.
Generally, staff feels that this is a natural wetland which does not need to
be disturbed. Staff advised Mr. Ritza at that time of our position and
further advised Councillor T. Simpson jn writing on July 14, 1988.
Staff has also reviewed this recent request which only concerns the cleaning
out of the transition channel between the marsh and the Authority's Channel
Improvements at parker Avenue. G~nerally, our clean out of flood control
channels involves the removal of major obstructions which may impede flows.
In this case there is no major obstruction, however, much of the natural
channel has filled in with aquatic vegetation, which staff feels does not
represent a significant obstacle under high flows. We also feel the clean
out would have little or no impact on improving the drainage under low flow
conditions. In addition, there is no practical way to control the growth of
the aquatic vegetation and therefore this would require regular clean out to
control the aquatic growth. For these reasons staff is recommending against
cleaning out this section of the watercourse at this time.
Res. #197 Moved by: William MCLean
Seconded by: Brian Harrison
THAT Mr. and Mrs. Ritza and the Town of Richmond Hill be advised that the
Authority will not be cleaning out the East Humber channel between wendy way
and parker Avenue in the foreseeable future.

II-2.l USE OF FAX MACHINES IN THE TENDERING PROCESS
At its meeting on September 7, 1988, the Executive Committee approved the
following resolution:
"THAT staff prepare a report and recommendations for the Finance and
Administration Advisory Board regarding the use of FAX machines in the
tendering process,
"AND FURTHER THAT a legal opinion be obtained in this regard."
The use of FAX machines in the tendering process has been discussed with
municipal staff involved in the Ontario Public Buyers Association. Accepted
practice is to use FAX transmissions for informal quotations and proposals.
Where sealed tenders are requested, FAX transmissions are not acceptable.
There is no way to guarantee the integrity of the tender process using FAX
transmissions. At the Authority's office, at least one individual would
have an opportunity to see the tender price. No matter how careful we
might be, the Authority could be open to allegations that a supplier's
prices were known to staff in advance and possible collusion could occur.
Given the general practice of the Ontario public Buyers Association, and
Authority staff review of procedures, it was decided not to go to the
expense of obtaining a legal opinion.
Res. #198 Moved by:' Gordon Patterson

11-3 PLOOD CONTROL PLANNING AND REMEDIAL MEASURES
-Structural Inspection and Operation Review Stu~y
for Stouffville Dam
The Stouffville Dam was constructed in 1969 at a cost of $125,000 as the
first component of a flood control scheme which was designed to provide a
high level of flood protection to the downtown core of Stouffville. The
second component involved the construction of a channel through the downtown
core in 1980. The channel was designed to function in conjunction with the
dam. The existing operations involve draining the reservoir in the late
fall (winter storage level) and filling the reservoir in the spring after
the critical spring runoff conditions have abated.
Over the last few years cracking along the walls of the spillway, which
supports the deck, has occurred and has become progressively worse. Seepage
has also been occurring along the fracture lines at an apparently increaSing
rate. The extent of craCking and seepage along the walls of the spillway
has caused concern regarding the stability of the structure. The causes for
these cracks are not apparent and we are proposing to retain an engineering
firm to carry out a structural investigation and analysis of the dam and
recommend any repairs which may be required.
In addition, we would like to have an engineering firm investigate the
impact on the flood control capabilities of the dam and channel if we were
to revise our operational procedures to maintain a winter storage area by
eliminating or reducing the additional storage achieved by emptying the
reservoir in the late fall.
The purpose of the study would be to:
1. carry out an inspection and analysis of the cracking which has appeared
along the walls of the concrete spillway structure of the dam and review,
if required, alternative means of correcting the problem and recommend
the most feasible solution for remedial works, and
2. review our existing operational procedures and analyze the impacts on the
flood control capabilities of establishing a winter storage level.
We are in receipt of a proposal from MIE Consulting Engineers Limited for
the consulting services to carry out a structural investigation and
operational review study for the Stouffville Dam, for an estimated amount of
$9,750.00.
Staff is prepared to recommend that MIE consulting Engineers Limited be
retained to carry out th~ study based on its technical merits. MIE has a
great deal of experienc€ in the repair of small dams and furthermore, the
principal of the firm was involved in the original design and construction
of the Stouffville Dam.
Funds for this study will be available' under the Flood Control Planning and
Remedial Measures Program Account Number 112-20-000.

II-4 EAST POINT PARK
-Small Craft Harbour Environmental Assessment Study
Consultant selection .
The Authority has an approved master plan for East Point Park (between the
Easterly Filtration plant and Highland Creek Sewage Treatment Plant)
comprising of approximately 56 ha of land overlooking a 25 m high bluff
with 1,700 m of Lake Ontario Shoreline. In 1980, the Authority had a
master plan update and site plan preparation study carried out by Hough
Stansbury.
A study carried out by the City of Scarborough - Economic Development in
1985, titled: "Biological, Economic and Social Analysis of the Scarborough
Sport Fishery", recommended that:
nThe M.T.R.C.A. initiate the existing plan for East point
as soon as possible to accommodate the growing demands of
the boating public".
This study also suggested that the most immediate development
considerations at East Point should be the construction of launching ramps
and parking facilities for public access to the sports fishery off the
Scarborough Bluffs.
To provide the launching basin and ultimately the small craft harbour, the
Authority is required to:
i) undertake engineering and site design studies, and
i i) submit an environmental assessment in accordance with the
Environmental Assessment Act.
The Authority requested proposals to undertake the environmental assessment
from four firms: Gore and Storrie Limited, MacLaren plansearch Inc.,
Hough, Stansbury and woodland, and Ecoplans Limited.
We are in receipt of three proposals with Gore and Storrie Limited
declining. All consultants submitted on the basis of the Terms of

Thank you for your lette.r of November 11 th , 1988,
together with a copy of a letter addressed to George
Vanderkuur, regarding the proposal to locate the
seaquarium project adjacent to the Ontario Science

the Ontario Science Centre representatives as well
as with North york and Metropolitan Toronto staff,
and I believe it to be an ideal location for the
seaquarium.
I understand that a report of the Water & Related
Land Management Advisory Board dealing with the
siting of the Seaquarium is to be considered at
your Executive Committee meeting tomorrow.
Accordingly, I request that this letter be
placed on the agenda of the Executive Committee
of November 18th, 1988. I would ask that the
North York site also be considered by the
Conservation Authority, and that it be included
in any Conservation Authority staff investigation
related to the siting of the Seaquarium.
Sincerely,
Mel Lastman,
Mayor"

13. ENCROACIIMEIITS ONTO AU'l'BORITY LARDS
ROSSMULL CRESCEII'J.', TOWN OP VAUGBAR
At Executive Committee Meeting '4/77, March 23, 1977, recommendations
contained in a staff report regarding .Encroachments onto Authority Owned
Lands. was adopted. Specifically, the Authority would not permit
encroachments onto its lands and staff was directed to locate and correct
any existing encroachments. This action was necessary to protect the
Authority's title to its lands, as it is possible for an adjacent owner to
establish legal rights to Authority lands through possession, i.e.
encroachment and long term use. The report also recommended that where
structures encraoched, their immediate removal was to be requested. Failure
to comply would result in the Authority exercising its rights through proper
legal process.
At the rear of homes on Rossmull Crescent, in the WOOdbridge Section of the
Town of vaughan, the subdivision lot grading resulted in fill encroachment.
Staff is pursuing the resolution of this with the developer and builders.
Individual homeowners have also placed structural encroachments on Authority
lands as follows:
Lot 98 Wrought Iron Fence, Swing Set and Sandbox
Lot 100 Wooden Garden Shed on Concrete pad
Lot 101 Wooden Retaining wall
In addition, almost all of the 13 homeowners have encroached with vegetative
plantings - gardens, shrubs and trees.
Repeated requests to remove encroachments during the past year have been
ignored by the homeowners. A legal opinion has been obtained from Gardiner,
Roberts. They have advised that the Authority is well within its rights to
physically remove the encroachments, due notice and warnings of the
consequences having been provided to the owners. The structural
encroachments are of the most concern at this time as the vegetative
material problem will be resolved along with the fill encroachment.problem.

15. CONSTRUCTION OP MAIR'l'BNARCE BUILDING AT
BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE
Since the BlaCk Creek pioneer village Visitors Centre was constructed, the
Village has had no maintenance building. A budget of $150,000 has been
included in BCPV budgets in recent years with the expectation that The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation would raise the
necessary revenue. The maintenance facility is necessary to safely store
various types of equipment now accommodated in makeshift storage areas
throughout the Village.
In 1988, there is sufficient surplus in the Finance & Administration
Division budget to fund a modest maintenance building. The surplus results
from interest earnings well in excess of planned revenue.
The budget of $l50,000 for a maintenance building can be reduced to $100,000
by completing a modest prefabricated structure which can be improved as time
and funds permit.

l6. HUMBER BAY WATERFRONT AREA PROPERTY REQUBST
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is in receipt of
a request from the City of Etobicoke to consider Humber Bay East Park area
for a proposed seaquarium.
Currently, the Toronto Seaquarium Corporation is evaluating three sites:
1. Harbourfront,
2. North York - Science Centre, and
3. Etobicoke (Motel Strip/Humber Bay East).
The Toronto Seaquarium Corporation's intent is to complete the site
selection process by December, 1988 and spend 1989 designing the facility
and securing the required funding.
preliminary information on a seaquarium indicate ~he following space
requirements:

1. Building: 140,000 sq. ft. - 3.0 acres 4.0 acres
150,000 sq. ft. on

Sub-total 7.1 acres 8.6 acres
3. Future Expansion (50' 3.6 acres 4.3 acres
Total 10.7 acres 12.9 acres
The seaquarium would be open year round, 12 hours during the summer and 8
hours during the winter. Visitor attendance is estimated at 1.2 million per
year with an average stay of 2 hours. Peak attendance would be during June,
July and August.
staff has undertaken preliminary investigations of the possibility of
locating a seaquarium at Humber Bay East. The facility could be located in
the general area of the existing parking lot while maintaining the natural
character of the park. The potential site requires additional detailed
investigations before a final recommendation can be presented to the Board.
Res.t224 Moved by: William McLean
Seconded by: Gordon Patterson

potential site for a seaquarium be received,
THAT staff be directed to investigate further with the City of Etobicoke,

17. THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
FEASIBILITY STUDY
In the Authority's Strategy for the Public use of Conservation Authority
Lands the plan calls for a substantial increase in funding to achieve the
objectives.
Rather than just requesting an increase in municipal levy and provincial
grants it was recognized that new sources and innovative methods of funding
must be found. private sector lease agreements not only provide for the
needed facilities but, through lease payments, provide additional funds to
the Authority for the improvement and development of facilities.
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation has been
effective in the past in providing funding for facilities for the Heritage
and Conservation Education programs. The staff is of the opinion that,with
the increasing interest in the environment, the Foundation could playa
very significant role in the Greenspace program by funding land acquisition
and inter-regional trail system, as well as continuing project and facility
funding for projects such as Black Creek pioneer Village, the Kortright
Centre for Conservation and Cold Creek Conservation Area. The staff has
had a number of meetings with representatives of the Foundation, its
Executive Committee and Members with respect to the increased funding
requirements of the Authority.
The Foundation was very supportive of the need to substantially increase
the amount of funds raised annually for the Authority. It was concluded
that the Foundation does not currently have the organization or the
resources to raise $1 million per year and, in this regard, the
Foundation's Executive Committee decided that a professional feasibility
study should be undertake to determine the feasibility of raising $1
million annually and the staff a facility requirements to raise this level
of funding.
The Authority has been asked to fund this study, which is estimated will
cost $25,000. The staff has investigated private sector funding in a
variety of organizations in eastern and south United states, Western
Canada and the Toronto Region and has cqncluded that with the proper
organization, staff, suitable projects and financial assistance from the
Authority for the first two or three years, the Foundation can make a much
greater annual contribution than the $150,000 - $200,000. it is currently'
raising.
As a matter of policy, the Authority has set aside a portion of the lease-
revenues from private sector recreation developments (such as the Water
Park for Conservation Area Development. It is the opinion of staff that
these funds invested in the Foundation will allow it to increase its
fundraising capabilities resulting in a substantial increase in funding for
Conservation Area Development.
Resl225 Moved by: Gordon Patterson
Seconded by: Helen White
THAT the thrust of the proposal to develop a fundraising strategy be
supported,
THAT as an alternative to a feasibility study done by a consultant,
the Foundation establish a fund raising unit with professional staff,
THAT the first responsibility of this unit be to develop a fund
raising plan with a variety of strategies to assist the Foundation
raise at least $1 million annually,
AND FURTHER THAT staff report on the funding that would be required
from the Authority to establish this unit.

18. FOOD SERVICES AT BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE
The village offers three areas of food service to its regular visitors: the
Half Way House, the Cafe and the patio (seasonal) . The Canada West Room is
used for group functions.
The Half Way House appeals to and accommodates approximately 15% of the
visitors, with the remaining 85% to be accommodated on the Patio and in the
Cafe. The Half Way House and the Cafe are always available when the village
is open to the public.
The Cafe has experienced a number of problems:
- In its current form the cafe is unable to adequately service large
groups of customers that occur on weekends, in mid-day and when the
school tours are at their peak,
- The layout and method of service does not allow for the add it ion
of staff to cover peak periods, and requires a high labour content
at low levels,
- The current labour shortage within the Metropolitan Toronto region
has resulted in an increase of approximately 45% in labour costs
($5.00 - $7.00),
- The noise created by the school groups due to the confined area
and the tile floor, has resulted in customer complaints. This
problem noise has also interfered with the use of the theatres when
school groups use the student assembly area,
- The sales of approximately $1.50 per visitor, including Half Way
House where sales top $7.00 to $8.00, are well below the average fo
for attractions similar in nature - this can be explained in part by
the above.
The patio offers a fast food service and the following has been observed:
- While it is less costly to operate at low periods, it can be
geared up to provide service to large numbers on weekends, mid-day
and during school tours (450 seats) with portable equipment,
- Not economical to operate both the patio and the Cafe, except at a
few peak days (20 maximum),
- Cleaning costs are much less for the patio than for the Cafe;
- Outside area is more in keeping with an outdoor attraction,
- Extremes of weather limit the use of the facility and is a major
drawback.
It is concluded that the most appropriate and economical area for food
service for the majority of visitors at the Visitors Centre would be the
patio, if it had protection from the weather.
It is proposed that approximately 100 of the 450 seats be covered by a
series of canopies and side curtains, to provide both indoor and outdoor
seating.

21. FLOODPLAIN MAPPING FOR THE RAINBOW AND ROBINSON CREEKS
HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED
The Town of vaughan has retained the firm of Cosburn Patterson Wardman
Limited to prepare a master drainage plan for the Rainbow and Robinson
Creeks (Humber River Watershed). The main objective of this plan is to
develop a comprehensive storm drainage strategy which will satisfy specific
watershed management goals and objectives including flood control, erosion
control, sediment control, water quality and environmental concerns while
allowing development within the subwatershed to proceed.
One component of this study is the preparation of floodplain mapping.
The MTRCA is currently carrying out a program to develop floodplain mapping
for many watercourse reaches under its jurisdiction which were not mapped
when its watershed plan was prepared in 1980. These reaches are mostly in
small tributaries of the main watersheds with drainage areas less than
1,300 hectares (the approximate cutoff area used in the Watershed plan) and
includes four (4) reaches of both the Rainbow and Robinson Creeks.
These reaches were topographically mapped in 1987 under a project entitled
MTRCA Mapping Extension program and funded by the Canada/Ontario Flood
Damage Reduction program (F.D.R.P.) . Ten mapsheets were required to map
these sites (see attached). Instead of initiating a new project to
complete the floodline mapping for these reaches, it would be
cost-effective to upgrade the floodline mapping component of the Town of
Vaughan's study to F.D.R.P. and MTRCA specifications.
Cosburn Patterson Wardman Limited has estimated the cost of the additional
work as follows:
- field surveys: $ 5,000.00
- hydraulic model calibration: 3,500.00
- map and report
preparation & presentation: 6.500.00
Total $15.000.00

By Resolution i177. the Executive Committee at their Meeting ill/88
approved the awarding of Contract ED-88-1l - Supply and delivery of Rip Rap
Stone and Armour Stone - to Nelson Aggregates Co.
Staff have been informed by letter (copy attached) that the Nelson quarry
is closed due to a truckers strike and are unable to supply stone at this
time. As we would like to schedule delivery as soon as possible, staff are
recommending that the second lowest bidder, Wiles Transport, be awarded the
contract at their tendere~ prices. This represents additional costs of
$400.00 for the rip rap stone and $1.350.00 for armour stone. based on the
estimated volumes of 2,000 tons (rip rap stone) and 3.000 tons (armour
stone) .
Due to the urgency in supplying the stone at this time, staff are
recommending awarding the contract to Wiles Tr~nsport. Wiles Transport has
been contacted and can meet our supply requirements as required.
The increased costs will be offset by reducing the required volumes
accordingly to keep within the approved budget.

6. PROVINCIAL CONTAINER REPUND POLICY
At its meeting #6/88, held September 16. 1988, the Authority. on a motion
proposed under New Business. adopted Resolution #161:
"THAT the Authority petition the province to reconsider its position
on refunds for soft drink and juice containers,
AND FURTHER THAT support in this petition be requested from the
Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario."
Authority staff, in responding to this direction, have reviewed relevant
Ontario Regulations and interviewed staff of the Ministry of Environment
and Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc. (OMMRI), to determine the
Province's policy and that part which we are requesting be reconsidered.
The Province, since 1985, has had regulations in place which incorporate
the following:
I. Minimum refunds for refillable containers of:
15; for up to 350 ml size
30 for 351 ml - 1 litre
40 for over I litre
Refunds will be more if a higher deposit is charged.
2. Recycling programs for non-refillable containers,
3. A ratio between percentage of refillable containers permitted and
recycling targets and established dates for achieving each,
4. Reporting requirements for brand users,
The Province has taken a position which favours recycling over re-use for
a number of reasons:
(a) A recycling program addresses a wide range of materials and containers,
inClUding, "but not limited to those for soft drinkS,
(b) Reuse of containers is not be practical over time due to contamination,
(c) Recycling shares responsibility among government, industry and the public
Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc. (OMMRI) was established by funding
from the soft drink industry to develop the 'Blue BOX' program. To date,
the industry has contributed $20 million to this program and further
funding will be provided as municipalities opt to participate. The 'Blue
Box' can be used for a range of household materials including, not only
soft drink and juice containers, but also jars, bottles and metal cans.
This program, according to OMMRI staff, has made Ontario a leader in
North America for recycling initiatives. Based on our review, the
province's position appears to have much to support.
At issue remains the fact that litter in parks is a problem and that the
cost for clean-up is borne by the parks management agency, either the
municipality or the Authority, not by the manufacturers or the user. The
Province's policy puts an onus on the distributor for refunds, on the
manufacturer for reuse and on the manufacturer, municipality and the public
for recycling. In order to address the issue without minimizing the efforts
currently being made, the following revised recommendation is proposed:
Res.1239 Moved by: Emil Kolb
Seconded by: Helen white
THAT the Authority request the Province to consider further ways and
means to inform the public of the negative impacts of littering and to
encourage participation in recycling, not only through residential
programs but also on public lands.

7. PROCESSING FEE: FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION TO
WATERWAYS REGULATION
The purpose of this report is to discuss the introduction of a
fee for processing applications under the Fill, Construction, and
Alteration to Waterways Regulations.
BACKGROUND
The idea of initiating a processing fee for our Regulations has
been discussed both at this Authority and at the Association of
Conservation Authorities of ontario (A.C.A.O.) level. These
discussions have been precipitated by the growing demands on
Authority plan Input and Review programs. To date, no consensus
on this issue has been reached, however, two authorities in
southwestern Ontario have a fee in place. The Credit valley
Conservation Authority has also just recently received approval
to implement a processing fee for its Regulations beginning
January 1, 19S9. Currently, no other Central Region conservation
authority has a fee in place.
To put the issue into a local context, processing fees are
commonplace with our member municipalities, in fact, its prov ided
for in Section 68 ( 1) of The planning Act. User pay has been in
place for our recreation programs, education programs, and
conservation services programs for some time. In 19S7, we
extended this principle to the Plan Input and Review program by
initiating the processing fee for written responses to solicitors
on property compliance - this fee will be adjusted upward
effective January I, 19S9. In addition, there has been a
recognized need for the Authority to explore new avenues of
revenue generation in all program areas as reflected within our
new strategic management plan "A Greenspace plan for the Greater
Toronto Region" October 1988.
RATIONALE FOR CHARGING A FEE
The obvious reason for exploring alternative sources of revenue
is the continuing struggle to meet the needs of our clients yet
balance our annual budget. our needs already exceed the level of
program funding available. The plan Input and Re~iew program is
exceptionally vulnerable to these types of constraints since the
program is labour intensive but client controlled.
The demands on our plan review function have steadily increased.
For example within the period from 1983 through 1987, the
volume of Official plans and Official plan Amendments has
increased by 55', the volume of subdivisions has increased by
370', applications and variances from land division committees
and committees of adjustment has increased by 85', and in the
three years covering 19S5 through 19S7, the number of
applications approved under the Regulations has increased
by 30'.
In 1987, we initiated a fee for written responses to solicitors
on property compliance based on the user pay principle. We are
recommending that this same principle be utilized by initiating a
processing fee for applications under the Regulations.

7. PROCESSING FEE: FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION TO
WATERWAYS RBGOLATIOR (con't)
The revenue will support and maintain the current staffing of the plan
Review Section. Without additional revenue, staffing will be pared down
unless other Authority programs are discontinued or further constrained.
In addition to the eight full-time staff complement, the plan
Review Section has generally employed four technicians, on
contract, since mid - 1987. One contract position has dealt
with the solicitors' request/response on property compliance.
The remaining three have assisted our plans Analysts in clearing
a 6 to l2 month backlog in plan review activities. These
positions are critical to service delivery, particularly as we
carry out our program and Section review.
Staff is rec~ending the initiation of a processing fee for
app1iciations under the Fill, Construction. and Alteration to
Waterways Regulations.
The balance of this report deals with the implementation of a
fee.
POLICY EXEMPTIONS
There are three general categories of applicants: individuals.
public agencies, including the municipalities, and all others.
We have no reciprocal arrangements with any of these groups,
therefore, no exemptions are recommended except for the
following situation:
An exemption is recommended for applications made by regional or
local municipalities for projects on lands owned by the Authority
but under management agreement with the municipality.
POLICY IMPLEMENTATION DATE
It is recommended that the fee be effective as soon as possible,
either on or after January I, 1989 pending adequate notification
to all interested and affected parties. Approval of the policy
now allows for the continuation of the current contract
technician positions within the Authority's 1989 Budget based
on the 1989 Budget Estimates previously reviewed.
FEE STRUCTURE
It is recommended that the fee be based on the cost of the
service required to process an application under the Regulations.
However, as with most of our other user fees we would not look to
recover lOOt of all direct and indirect costs.
00 PEE FOR ALL APPLlCA'I'IORS? Applications received under
the Regulations are submitted for approval to (a) fill within a
regulated area, ( b) construct within a flood plain and/or
(c) alter a watercourse. The majority of applications received
involve combinations of the above.
The only reason to consider a graduated fee schedule would be to
fairly account for the tangible benefit of the work to the
applicant and/or the variance in time (therefore cost) to
process the different types of applications. In this regard,

7. PROCESSING FEE: FILL, CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATION TO
WATERWAYS REGULATION (con't)
all applications require the same base level of service: review of
application, acceptance of design, processing through the committee and site
inspection(s). A graduated fee does not seem appropriate.
Also, we don't want to implement a system that creates an in
house information and administrative burden.
ORE FEE FOR ALL APPLICANTS? The Credit valley Conservation
Authority (CVCA) has adopted a fee schedule based on three
categories of applicants: personal Residence/property Owners,
Member Municipality and Others.
The CVCA established a lower fee for personal Residence/
property Owners and Member Municipalities ($45.00 per
application as opposed to $100.00 per application for Others)
in recognition of their ongoing financial support to the
Authority and the non-financial motive of the proposed work.
A fee structure based on applicant seems reasonable and would
be relatively easy to implement. We concur with the
categorization of applicants as established by CVCA with
minor modifications. We therefore propose the following:
I. personal Residence:
This category encompasses all of the watershed residents,
or agents acting on their behalf, who make an application
for work on their individual personal residence.
2. Regional & Local Municipalities:
This category requires no further explanation.
3. Other:
This category includes any application other than that made
on behalf of an individual for work on their personal
residepce or regional or local municipality and would
certainly include utilities, residential developers,
contractors/developers/owners of industrial and commercial
properties. This category title has been purposely left
general so as to provide an umbrella for those applications
that do not naturally fall into categories II and '2.
A review of our applications processed for approval from 1985
to present indicates that approximately half -of the permits
issued are to corporations, etc., approximately one-quarter of
those issued are to municipalities, and approximately one-
quarter are for personal residence.
AT 1IIIA'I' AIIOOlI'!' SHOULD THB I'D BE SE'!'? It is difficult to
quantify the cost of the Authority's Regulations program. At
any given time there are over nineteen full-time staff who are
involved directly with the program, with varying levels of
effort. Two Divisions, Water Resource and Field Operations,
assign staff to the program on a routine basis. Three Sections
within the Water Resource Division are directly involved in the
Program. Other operating costs such as printing, postage,
travel, expenses, per diems, etc. add to the total cost of the
program.

CONCLUSION
In consideration of the above, and in consideration of the fees
being initiated by the CVCA, the following fee schedule is
recommended:
U personal Residence: $45.00 per application
'2 Regional and Local Municipality: $45.00 per application
13 Other: $l50.00 per application
RENEWALS: The process for permit renewal is similar to that
for solicitors' enquiries and therefore, it is
recommended that the renewal fee be tied to (the
same as) the solicitors' enquiries fee.
Approximately 10 to 20 renewals are issued
annually.
REVISIONS: The process for revising approved permits is
similar to that for processing an application under
the Regulations and therefore, it is recommended
that the fee be discounted by 50\ of the fee for
processing applications under the Regulations.
Approximately 10 to 20 permits are revised annually.
EXEMPTIONS: Applications made by regional or local
municipalities for projects on lands owned by the
Authority but under management agreement with the
municipality shall be exempt from the processing
fee policy.
FEE REVIEW:
It is recommended that the fee for processing applications under
the Regulations be reviewed annually, commencing 1990, as a
component of the Authority's budget preparation process.
Any change in the fee structure will be brought forward for
approval as a separate item.

Black Creek pioneer Village has two vacant full-time complement positions

supervisory responsibilities, the Interpretive Coordinators assist with the
preparation (staff, materials, exhibits) for all special events.
The 1989 preliminary budget reflects the complement adjustment to come into
effect with the adoption of the budget at the end of March, 1989. The
request for complement adjustment is being made now because the Coordinator
positions are required over the winter period to prepare for the 1989
special events program and to assist with the care and cleaning of the
artifacts. The additional benefit cost of the complement adjustment for the
period December, 1988 to March, 1989 will be about $2,700 or $8,lOO
annually.

11. FOOD SERVICES 3-YBAR PLAN (1989-1990-1991)
In March of 1987, the Authority established a Food Services Section and
internalized its food service operation. prior to 1987, this service was
operated under a "Management Fee Contract" (1983 to 1986) and by a series of
catering contracts prior to 1983.
During the past one-and-a-half years, the quality of food and service has
improved resulting in significant increases in gross sales especially in
group functions. The result has been more program revenues to offset
facility maintenance and service costs, increased reserve funds for improved
facilities and equipment, and net revenues applied to the operations and
maintenance of the public use facilities. See App.III (Bar Graph).
This three-year plan has been prepared in response to a request from the
Executive Committee.

SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION
7. MAINTENANCE BUILDING AT BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE
Five qualified firms were requested to quote on the Maintenance Building for
Black Creek pioneer village. Four contractors returned bids in various
forms of completeness and the fifth, Frank Duke, did not return a bid. The
only complete bid was from John Wheelwright Ltd. at $220,SOO which was
$120,000 more than the funds available for this project in 1985.
Staff had discussions with the three other bidders and then began
negotiations with Reaves Building Systems (Ontario) whose bid appeared to be
considerably below the other three contractors. A firm price has been
received from Reaves for the building and services at $140,770. J.W. Green
Construction Management Ltd. had a base price of $157,000 plus a
considerable unestimated amount for extras. Roxson Contractors Limited
reduced its initial quote from $187.460 to $169.000 with still some
unestimated amount for extras.
Reaves has given a price of $36,445 for finishing the interior of the
building including walls, ceilings, doors, plumbing, heating and wiring. It
is estimated that this work can be done by village staff for approximately
$25,000.

ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
1. THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF VAUGHAN -&- M.T.R.C.A.
-Disposal of surplus Authority-owned lands
As a result of the re-alignment of Jane Street where it intersects Steeles
Avenue, the Authority is the owner of a remnant parcel of land consisting of
4.3 acres. more or less, of table land. part of which was acquired from J.W.
Dalziel and S. Hastings in the 1950's. as well as the portion of the former
road allowance acquired from The Corporation of the Town of Vaughan in
1987.
The site is triangular in shape and is bounded on two sides by arterial
roads, and on the east side by light industrial use. A detailed technical
review of this site was carried out by Authority staff and it has been
determined that it is not required as a part of BlaCk Creek Pioneer Village
and is surplus to the Authority's needs for conservation purposes.
It is proposed that the lands be advertised on a basis to solicit
development, lease and sale proposals, with interested parties being invited
to submit proposals to the Authority for consideration. It is suggested
that a Committee consisting of the Chairman of the Authority, together with
the Chairmen of the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board, the
Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board and the Finance and
Administration Advisory Board, be established to review proposals received
and provide a recommendation to the Members of the Authority concerning
disposal or development of these lands.
During the staff review of the disposal of this parcel, consideration has
been given to the utilization of this location for Authority Administrative
Offices. While current thinking is that an extension should be included on
the current Shoreham Drive site. the funding from this transaction would
facilitate any required addition to the existing Administrative Offices that
may be required.
Res. '270 Moved by: Emil Kolb
Seconded by: Lorna Jackson
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a 4.3 acre parcel of Authority-owned
table land, situate on the existing north east corner of Jane and Steeles,
being Parts of Lot 1, Concession 5 and Part of the road allowance between
Concessions 4 and 5, Town of Vaughan, Regional Municipality of York, be
declared as surplus to the requirements of the Authority,
THAT staff attempt to have this property removed from the Parkway Belt,
THAT the availability of this parcel not required for conservation purposes
be circulated to the Regional Municipality of York and the Town of Vaughan
to determine whether they have any interest in leasing or purchasing these
lands at market value and failing which,
THAT the Secretary-Treasurer be directed to advertise the availability of
these lands and invite proposals,
AND FURTHER THAT a Committee be established, consisting of the Chairman of
the Authority, together with the Chairmen of the Water and Related Land
Management Advisory Board, the Conservation and Related Land Management
Advisory Board and the Finance and Administration Advisory Board, to review
all proposals received and to report further to the Members of the Authority
concerning a recommendation with respect to ultimate utilization.

the east side of Liverpool Road, north of Finch Avenue.
Extensive discussions and reviews have been carried out, inVOlving Authority
staff, staff of the Durham Board of Education and the Corporation of the
Town of PiCkering, and it has been tentatively agreed that a 1.5 acre parcel

proposed sale are as follows:

b) the Durham Board of Education is to retain an agreed upon number of
trees along the northerly 20 feet of the property being purchased;

Limited on September 19, 1967 and consists of a remnant parcel of table land
abutting the larger area of flood plain and valley land of interest to the
Authority, which the owner wanted to include in the sale to dispose of his
entire holdings at that location.
The Durham Board of Education has co-operated in making lands available to

TOIIII'f' THOIIPSOR PARK
-Gull Control
In May 1984, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
received title to a major portion of Tommy Thompson Park from the Ministry
of Natural Resources. With this land transfer, the Authority inherited
environmentally significant plant and animal communities and a ring-billed
gull population in the magnitude of ~ 80,000 pairs.
In order to maintain the significant amenities of Tommy Thompson Park in
accordance with the recommendations of the Environmentally Significant Areas
Stud Y (MTRCA 1982), to keep our options open for future implementation of
the Master Plan. and to allow for continued construction of the site,
restriction of the ring-billed gull nesting habitat is required. Between
1984-1988 a Gull Control program has been undertaken and has proven highly
successful.

TOMMY THOMPSON PARK
-Gull Control contd.
Terms of reference for the 1989 Gull Control Program were prepared and
forwarded to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ministry approval was
received January 27, 1989.
A list of five consultants was developed and quotations for a two-year
Gull Control Program to be undertaken from March 28, 1989 to June 9, 1989
and March 26, 1990 to June 8, 1990 (final approval for the 1990 program to
correspond with budget approval for the year) were requested from each firm.
Two bids were received, as follows:
.ill.! 1990 ~
Bird Control International $26,475.00 $27,975.00 $54,450.00
Intercept Bird Control 18,700.00 19.822.00 38,522.00
Since the Gull Control program is an essential component of the continuing
management and development of Tommy Thompson Park, and it is closely
scrutinized by a number of special interest groups, the general public and
the Canadian Wildlife Service, it is imperative that the Authority has in
place a quality, highly professional program.
After reviewing the two submissions received. staff recommends that the
lowest bidder (Intercept Bird Control) ~ be awarded the contract for the
following reasons:
- Staff has contacted the applicable references supplied by this bidder and
found them unwilling to provide written or verbal comments on his
performance.
- The bid submitted is substantially lower than the known value of this
contract over the past three years:
1986 - $26,200. (3 month contract)
1987 - $21,900. (2-1/2 month contract)
1988 - $25,100. (2-1/2 month contract)
- The supplied breakdown of costs relating to the pyrotechnical devices
suggests that the quantity is insufficient to meet the program's
requirements.
The second bidder, Bird Control International, has been awarded the contract
for the past five years and, during this time, has demonstrated a high
degree of professionalism and competency that has been reflected in the
overall success of this program.

9. SILVER STREAMS FARMS
At Executive Committee Meeting ill/88, the following resolution was
adopted:
THAT the letter from Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Watford be received,
AND FURTHER THAT staff investigate the matter of water supply
from the Little Rouge and report back to the Executive
Committee.
The letter outlined the difficulties occurring in the river water used for
the Watfords' farming operation due to the nature of the development in the
area over the past few years. The Watfords have stated their irrigation
system becomes clogged approximately three to four times a year with a "blue
clay" sediment and is a result of upstream development (paving of Bayview
Avenue and the construction of a railway overpass at 19th Avenue).
In response to this letter, Authority staff reviewed our past comments and
conditions for development in this area and visited the Watfords' farm and
upstream area. The nature and source of the sediment problem were still
unclear after field investigation. especially as the Watfords ind ica ted the
sediment was not associated with storm events. Staff approached the
Ministry of Environment and the Town of Richmond Hill for their support in
trying to trace this problem.
On January 17, 1989, Authority staff met with representatives from the
Ministry of Environment, Town of Richmond Hill Public Works and Region of
York Engineering to review the collective experience with this sediment
problem and to develop a plan to diagnose the source and to suggest remedial
measures.
After some discussion, it was decided that the problem and its source would
have to be better documented before remedial actions could be suggested. To
this end the following tasks were assigned:
1. Town of Richmond Hill Public Works will continue their efforts to trace
the past information related to Silver Stream Farms. They will also
compile and circulate the minutes of the joint meeting.
2. Region of York Engineering will check their files on all upstream
industries that may be affecting water quality.
3. Ministry of Environment will begin a sampling program to collect
base-line data. They will arrange for the Watfords to notify them when
the "blue clay" sediment appears so that samples can be taken. The
Watfords will be supplied with bottles and trained to collect a
representative sample should the event occur on a weekend. The turn-over
time on the base-line samples will be six to eight weeks.
Secondly Ministry of Environment will check the well records for the area
to see if there is a chance that the well supply could be increased to
meet some of the on-farm watering requirements.
Authority staff will attend a second meeting on March 29, 1989 with the same
parties to review the report on the background sampling done by the Ministry
of Environment and to discuss the matter further.

10. THE REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE DUTIES
AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITY
-Further information
At its meeting on November 23, 1988, the Finance and Administration
Advisory Board considered and discussed the following recommendations of
the Sub-Committee to Review the Duties and Responsibilities of Members of
the Authority:
a) "The Role of the Municipally Appointed Member" and "The Role of the
provincially Appointed Member" be approved as definitions of the duties
and responsibilities of Members of the Authority;
b) The person selected as the Vice-Chairman of the Authority receive per
diem for all regular meetings attended and where the Vice-Chairman
acts for the Chairman, at the Chairman's request, per diem shall be
paid at the rate of two times the regular per diem payment,
c) There be no change in the current practice of paying Chairmen of the
Advisory Boards the regular per diem rate,
d) When the Executive Committee authorizes the appointment of a Sub-
Committee to deal with a specific matter, the current practice of
paying Members of such Sub-Committee a per diem for all meetings
attended in connection with the matter, be continued,
e) The Members' per diem be increased to $75 for 1989 and in each
subsequent year, be increased in the same proportion as the economic
increase authorized for staff.
The Board decided that these recommendations should be referred back to
staff to provide appropria~e substantiating information with respect to the
recommendation on the Members' per diem.
On January 9. 1989, the General Manager received a letter from the Ontario
Municipal Board indicating that the Board was not prepared to approve the
increase in the Chairman's honorarium as proposed by the Authority. The
Ontario Municipal Board has requested and is awaiting direction from the
Minister of Natural Resources concerning an appropriate mechanism to
evaluate honoraria and per diems paid to Members of Authorities.
Given this information, it is unlikely that a further request from this
Authority to increase the Members' per diem to $75 would receive approval
at the Ontario Municipal Board. Accordingly, it is suggested that staff
prepare a submission to the Minister of Natural Resources which would set
out, in detail, an appropriate system to properly evaluate honoraria and
Members' per diems.
The same principles and practices could be used as are applied in
determining the salary and wages of Authority staff. This system employs
benchmark positions among comparable organizations. For the M.T.R.C.A., the
comparable jurisdictions are the Towns of Vaughan and Markham, the City of
North York, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional
Municipality of Peel.

12. ACCOURTING COMPUTER SYSTEM
-Approval of Consulting Services
The 1989 Preliminary Estimates of the Authority included provision for up to
$100.000 to be spent to upgrade the accounting system. Fund ing is from the
computer reserve fund, which was established for that purpose.
Staff has met with a number of consultants and conducted a preliminary
review of the Authority's requirements and available vendors. Also staff
has consulted with similar organizations involved in new accounting computer
systems.
Authority staff requires assistance to confirm the user needs analysis which
we are now completing, to prepare a request for proposal and to identify
suitable vendors, ensuring that as many vendors as possible have the
opportunity to bid for our requirements. Later we shall need assistance in
a detailed evaluation, demonstrations and negotiations with selected
vendors.
Staff contacted the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto to determine appropriate consulting services.
Discussions were held with the following consultants:
T.L.W. Enterprise Inc. - A small firm specializing in accounting systems
($8,000 - $IO,OOO),
R.I. (Bob) Perry and Associates - Also a small firm specializing in
general systems development and strategic systems planning ($7.000 -
$10,500),
Computer Partners International (1986) Limited - A medium-sized consulting
firm providing a broad selection of systems related services ($6,000 -
$10,000),
Woods Gordon - A large consulting firm which is the management consulting
arm of Clarkson Gordon ($10,000 - $14,000).
In the final analysis, staff believes that cost comparison is not as
relevant as the experience offered by the consulting firms and their
demonstrated ability with respect to accounting systems. As a result of
discussions with these firms and informal discussions with several others,
our conclusion is that Woods Gordon offers the best experience and the
assurance of on-going support. With smaller firms, since there is limited
back up, there may be a problem if the individual assigned is unable to
continue. The breadth of experience that we were hoping for is diff icult to
establish in some of these cases. It is also important that the consultant
be independent of any supplier and have broad experience with a wide variety
of vendors of both software and hardware.

14. PROCESSIRG FEE FOR APPLICATIORS UNDER ORTARIO REGULATION 293/86
-Hearings
At Meeting 114/88 the Executive Committee had before it a staff report
recommending the initiation of a fee for processing applications under
Ontario Regulation 293/86. In addition to approving the fee and fee
structure as recommended by staff, the Executive Committee further
recommended that:
"staff be directed to investigate and report back to the Executive
Committee, the possibility of having a hearing fee which would be an
increment to the previously approved fees."
Careful review of this item results in a recommendation by staff that a
separate fee, specific to those applications brought forward as hearings,
not be implemented. The rationale is as follows:
1. The initiation of the fee is to cover some of the costs associated with
the processing of applications under Ontario Regulation 293/86. In
this regard, applications being brought forward for approval incur
similar processing requirements as those brought forward to a hearing.
Both types of applications require staff review, staff reports, site
visits. and the attention of the Executive Committee. Applications
scheduled as hearings may require more intensive staff preparation
than do those being recommended for approval. These efforts, and
related costs, may be offset, however, by those which are incurred
subsequent to the approval of proposed works under the Regulation. It
is probable that additional processing fees may only be justified in
those instances where an application is approved following a hearing.
In all other instances, it is not feasible to determine an exact cost
associated with the pre- or post-approval processing requirements.

ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION
14. PROCESSING FEE FOR APPLICATIONS UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 293/86
-Hearings contd.
2. Notwithstanding item (1) above. the implemenation of a processing fee
for applications scheduled as hearings may result in the perception
that the additonal fee is being charged to dissuade applicants from
pursuing their right for a hearing as provided for under the
Conservation Authorities Act. R.S.O. 1980.
3. There is no way to predetermine if an application made under Ontario
Regulation 293/86 will be processed for approval or scheduled as a
hearing. This determination can only be made following the review by
staff. In addition, Authority senior staff reviews each application
prior to the scheduling of hearings to ensure that this process is
effectively implemented.
In preparing this report staff looked at various alternatives for a
processing fee for hearings. In general the alternatives could be
categorized into two types:
i) where the Executive Committee could choose to award costs to the
Authority, in the form of some set fee, following each hearing, or
i i) the fee for all applications could be increased with refunds issued if
the application does not require a hearing.
The administrative effort required for either of these alternatives would
increase the processing requirements and associated costs.
For the reasons noted above, staff recommends against the initiation of a
processing fee specific to those applications that result in a hearing.
