2. 1988 AUTHORITY FIRAHCIAL STATEMBR'I'S
Mr. Colin Lipson of Clarkson Gordon, the Authority's auditors, gave an
overview of the draft financial statements.
The program descriptions and variances from the Budget referred to in the
Financial Statements are covered in detail in the Financial Progress Report
and the 1989 Budget document.
With the adoption of these Financial Statements, the Authority will be
approving a recommendation to transfer from surplus to reserves, an amount
of $80,0001 $30,000 into Data Processing Equipment and $50,000 for Major
Maintenance. The $30,000 placed into the Data Processing Equipment Reserve
will ensure sufficient funds are available to replace the current software
and hardware for the accounting system, while the $50,000 placed into the
Major Maintenance Reserve is a major step towards the target of 1% of total
insured property values, or approximately $300,000.
All other transfers to and from reserves are in accordance with the
guidelines established for the reserves and in accordance with the 1988
approved Budget.
As at December 31, 1988, the balance in the Recreation Development and
Restoration Reserve was $546,466, which amount has resulted from the

4. 1989 BUDGET
Budget Process
The Authority's 1989 Budget process is essentially the same as that which
has been followed in past years. It begins in June of the previous year
when Budget guidelines are approved and Authority staff begins work on
project files for the Ministry of Natural Resources and preliminary
estimates for each Division. This work is completed in time for management
to review proposed expenditures early in September and for the preliminary
estimates to be submitted to the three Advisory Boards by the end of
September. The Authority approves preliminary estimates for capital and
operating purposes in October.
The information requirements of each of the Authority's member municipali-
ties and the Province are different. Budget information used for Authority
purposes is reformatted to meet the individual requirements of our funding
partners and submitted to them as required under each organization's budget
schedule. Meetings take place in the period November through January with
member municipalities and the Ministry. In 1989, the Authority is using a
revised funding arrangement for distribution of the levy and this involved
additional presentations to each of the Regional Municipalities and Metro
Toronto.
The final Authority operating and capital budget is submitted to the Finance
and Administration Advisory Board for referral to the Executive Committee on
March 10th and to the Authority on March 31st. Benefiting project approvals
are required from each jurisdiction and the general levy is submitted to
member municipalities upon approval by the Authority.

4. 1989 BUDGET contd
New PUDding Arrangeaents for Municipal Levy
In December 1988, the Authority approved a new arrangement to distribute the
municipal levy amongst the four major member municipalities This new
arrangement affects the municipal levy for the development, operation and
maintenance of Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the
Kortright Centre for Conservation It makes use of the traditional measure
of ability to pay, discounted equalized assessment, and introduces a new
measure of usage which is indicated by visitor origin statistics. As a
result of this new arrangement, Metropolitan Toronto's share of the total
levy will decrease and the proportionate shares from the Regional Municipa-
lities of Peel, York and Durham will increase The shares reflected in the
1989 Budget are as follows
SHARE OF MUNICIPAL LEVY NET IMPACT
% IN 1989
1988 1989 INCREASE/DECREASE
Metropolitan Toronto 78.7 75 1 ($103,700)
Peel Region 8.4 10.0 $ 55,500
Durham Region 1 8 2 1 $ 7,900
York Region 11.1 12.8 $ 40,300
The Chairman of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board and staff of
the Authority have met with political representatives of each of the Regions
to advise them of these changes and will be meeting with Metropolitan
Toronto representatives in the near future. The 1989 levy allocations
reflect the use of this formula.
Operating Budget Overview
The 1989 Operating Budget provides for gross operating expenditures to
increase by 5.9% over 1988 Budget. Operating revenues will increase by
11.6% leaving a net expenditure increase of 3.4%. Net expenditures are
financed by Ministry of Natural Resources grant and municipal levy. The
municipal levy will rise by 5.6% while the M.N.R. grant will decrease by
about 1%.
Your attention is drawn to the following
- In 1988, the Authority approved an adjustment to the Authority's salary
and wage schedule to bring it into line with market conditions. As a
result of this adjustment, the entire salary and wage schedule increased
by an average of about 5%. In 1989, annualization of this change, which
was effective December 1, 1988 and a cost of living adjustment
recommended at 4.5% to be implemented on April 1, 1989, will account for
almost $800,000 in additional expenditures.
- The Program Services Budget is significantly decreased because of the
shift of the Conservation Areas Development Project from operating to
capital. The 1988 Budget for development totalled $490,000.
- Operating revenues are predicted to increase by 11.6% reflecting the
Authority's aggressive policy of adding to its operating revenues and
reducing dependency on grant and levy
- Included in the Program Services Division Budget is a major enhancement
to the corporate marketing and Community Relations program involving the
addition of some $150,000.

4. 1989 BODG~ contd
- Ministry of Natural Resources grant is decreased by about 1% as a result
of funding for specific projects not being available and the shift of the
Conservation Area Development Project to capital. Program administration
grants from the Ministry were increased by 4% over 1988. The failure of
M.N.R. funding to keep pace with inflation continues to create problems
for all Authorities and is an additional burden on Authority operating
revenues and the municipal levy
Municipal Levy I.pact
The municipal levy impact is illustrated for each of the Authority's member
municipalities in the Table on Pages II-5 and II-6. The general levy
increase of 5.6% is less than last year's increase of 6.7% However, the
distribution of the levy based on the new funding formula has resulted in
increases to the municipal levies of the Regions of Peel, York and Durham
and a decrease in the levy upon Metropolitan Toronto.
Consideration has been given to necessary tax adjustments arising from
actual 1988 taxes paid to municipalities on revenue-producing properties
outside of Metropolitan Toronto, the shifts in discounted equalized
assessment and the application of levies on hand.

The following compares the capital projects described in the preliminary
estimates with the final Budget and also includes a brief explanation of the
changes which have occurred

Su_ary
The 1989 Operating Budget provides for an increase in overall spending of
5.9% which is more or less in line wi th inflation within the greater
Metropolitan Toronto region The modest 3.4% increase in net expenditure
reflects the Authority's continuing commitment to increase its own operating
revenues at a rate greater than that of other funding sources
A major new initiative, the Greenspace Plan for the Greater Toronto Region,
will be presented to the Authority's funding partners in 1989 and will have
a major impact on capital costs in future years.

Quotations were invited from a total of 28 companies and 11 replies were
received for the rental of construction equipment to be utilized by the
Water Resource Division in carrying out the 1989 work programs.
Our analysis of the 11 quotations indicates that Sartor & Susin is, overall,
the lowest quotation received. Our decision for the low quotation is based
on a comparison of the more commonly used equipment of the same size and
horse power. In this respect Sartor and Susin had the lowest hourly
quotation in seven of eleven equipment pieces selected and were second
lowest in three more.
Should Sartor & Susin not be able to supply all our equipment needs during
the peak construction periOd, we shall use the company that has the next
lowest tender price.

20. PURCHASE OP 118000 SCALE VERTICAL STERBO AIR PHOt'OGRAPBY
OP ~ M.T.R.C.A. WATERSBBD, APRIL, 1989
A proposal has been received from Aquarius Flight Inc., to supply 1 8000
scale contact prints of the M.T.R.C.A watershed. Essentially, Aquarius
Flight offers to extend the flight-lines of their existing photo contract
with the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, in order to cover the area
required by the M.T.R.C.A.. This additional area would be done on
speculation, and would only be undertaken by Aquarius if there is the
possibility of a sale of air-photo prints from this block.
The cost to us of complete coverage of the M.T.R.C.A. watershed is $15,000
The approximate retail cost of the same coverage if the Authority
commissioned the flying would be in excess of $40,000. The airphotos
offered by Aquarius Flight meet or exceed the F.D.R.P. requirements for
floodline mapping.
Enquiries were made of other airphoto contractors to see if similar
opportunities were available from them, but differences in their area
coverage and photoscale precluded the feasibility of any such proposals.
In addition to the low purchase price, the Aquarius Flight proposal is
attractive for the following reasons
A. The latest M.T.R.C.A. airphoto coverage is six years old, and at the end
of its useful life as a planning' design tool. The Aquarius proposal is
an opportunity to acquire needed coverage for Authority programs.
B. Since the project has been initiated by a consortium consisting of Peel
Region, The City of Mississauga, and the Credit Valley Conservation
Authority, M.T.R.C.A. will not have to be involved in any aspects
of contract administration, and the proposed M.T.R.C.A. photo-base will
be consistent with that used by the above named benefiting municipali-
ties. This will ensure better technical liaison on matters of mutual
concern.
C. Under this proposal, M.T.R.C.A. would have unrestricted access to the
negatives, and could purchase any additional material at client-owned
rates.

-Sale of Authority-owned land
Town of Ajax, Regional Municipality of Durham
The Authority is in receipt of a request from the owners of the Moodie's
Motel Limited property, situate on the north side of Highway 2 at the Ajax/
Pickering municipal boundary, to purchase two small fragments of
Authority-owned land at the side and rear of their property. The lands
involved include previously encroached upon Authority property upon which
portions of the motel buildings are situate, which lands, together with
certain other lands, have been leased from the Authority for several years.
The request in this instance relates to an application from the motel owners
during 1988 to seek approval to add a second floor to a section of the
motel buildings. Officials of the Town of Ajax suggested, as a part of
their review, that the owners attempt to purchase sufficient land from the
Authority to meet the by-law requirements.
The Moodie's Motel Limited property is situate in an area where the
Authority has recently carried out the construction of a flood control berm
to provide flood protection up to the 500 year level. Technical staff has
extensively reviewed this request and is supportive of the proposed sale.
In accordance with provincial revenue sharing policy, it is proposed that

valley portion of the property have been intermittently carried out by the
Authority since early 1971, at which time the property was in the process of
being sold by Dorothy Boylen to Elsie Karfilis During 1976 extensive
discussions were conducted with Mr. and Mrs. Karfilis and a tentative
agreement was arranged. In addition to the purchase price proposed, Mrs
Karfilis requested that certain conditions be included that affected the
Metropolitan Parks and Property Department The Metropolitan Parks and
Property Commissioner was not prepared to recommend acceptance of the
conditions required by Elsie Karfilis.
The availability of this property for purchase by the Authority was again
brought to our attention during mid 1988 and discussions have been underway
with Mr. and Mrs. Karfilis since that date. The availability of the
property and the suggestion by the Karfilis family that a land exchange
involving Metropolitan Toronto or Province of Ontario lands, be arranged,
has attracted the attention of senior officials of the provincial
government, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the City of
Etobicoke. Staff, along with the Authority's Solicitors, is actively
attempting to negotiate a satisfactory arrangement by which the property can
be acquired.

THAT staff report regarding the possible acquisition of the Elsie Karfilis
property in the Humber val~ey be received;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to continue negotiations to find a
suitable basis for the acquisition of this property, which is required for

-Representation on the Public Advisory Committee
The International Joint Commission has identified through its Great Lakes
Water Quality Board, 42 areas of concern. These are areas where special
efforts are needed to restore water uses and protect water supplies,
recreation and aquatic life The Metro Toronto Waterfront was identified
as one of these areas of concern
Environment Ontario and Environment Canada are jointly committed to
coordinating the preparation of the Metro Toronto Remedial Action Plan
(RAP) This plan is aimed at restoring and protecting the quality of Lake
Ontario along Metro's waterfront, stretching from the Etobicoke Creek to the
Rouge River. The plan will include all watersheds draining this area
A crucial component within the Remedial Action Plan process is the
establishment of a Public Advisory Committee (PAC) The PAC has the
following objectives
1. To provide public input to the development of the Metro Toronto
Remedial Action Plan, with respect to desired use goals of the water
body and remedial options for achieving these goals, and to ensure that
the final plan reflects the community's goals and Objectives.
2. To provide effective representation from the communities, agencies,
interested groups or individuals through the make-up of the membership
3. To assist in implementing the RAP public information and educational
program to the general public.
4. To provide a basis for generating broad community support for
implementation of the final plan.
A Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority staff person is
already participating in PAC; however, PAC organizers have expressed
interest in having representation from an Authority member since there is
political representation on the committee from other agencies PAC meetings
are held once per month, every third Tuesday from 7 00 to 10 00 p.m. at the
North York Civic Centre. Helen White, Chairman, water and Related Land
Management Advisory Board, has expressed interest in sitting on the Metro
Remedial Action Plan Public Advisory Committee as the Authority's

-Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital, Her Majesty the Queen
in Right of the Province of Ontario
On March 31, 1988, the Authority completed the acquisition of 32.994 acres
of land, forming a part of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital
property in the City of Etobicoke, along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. The
purchase agreement included provision for the assumption of heritage
easements relating to three of the buildings located on the land acquired by
the Authority. The specific buildings encumbered by the heritage easement
included the former Cumberland House, now known as the Jane Tweed Treatment
Centre, the Pavilion and the Gatehouse.
At the time of the acquisition by the Authority, the Gatehouse building was
in a dilapidated state of repair. Since the Authority acquisition, the
building has been badly vandalized, including a recent fire. The Gatehouse
property now forms a hazardous situation and is of major concern to the
Authority, the Metropolitan Parks and Property Department and the City of

BACKGROUND
On February 22, 1988, Etobicoke Council passed By-law No. 1988-45 adopting
Official Plan Amendment C-65-86 (Motel Strip Area). The Amendment has been
referred to the Ontario Municipal Board by the Minister of Municipal
Affairs, based on a number of referral requests. Etobicoke has indicated
that a hearing may not be scheduled until January/February 1990.
In a letter dated August 24, 1988, the Provincial Member for Etobicoke-
Lakeshore, Ruth Grier, requested the Minister of the Environment, The
Honourable Jim Bradley, to consider designating Official Plan Amendment No.
C-65-86 under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Minister after review
of the Environmental Assessment Advisory Committee (E.A.A.C. ) recommenda-
tions issued a decision on May 9, 1989, whiCh decision is summarized as
follows:
"If the following actions are taken, the area will not be designated under
the Environmental Assessment Act and the approval process under the
Planning Act will be followed
1) Completion of an Environmental Management Master Plan for the area
addressing lakefill, stormwater management, other discharges, soils
management, aquatic habitat, public access, public use and recreation,
design and construction of the development as well as arrangements for
the financing of remedial works.
2) Prior to development and the enactment of any zoning by-laws for the
area, the City of Etobicoke shall impose conditions and enter into
agreements and, where necessary, pass holding by-laws to implement
these conditions of the Plan.
3 ) provision during construction for an on-site environmental consultant,
selected by the Steering Committee, to ensure that development and
remedial works including 1akefilling adhere to the official plan
policies and the Environmental Management Master Plan.
The government, through the Minister of Municipal Affairs, has also
designated this area and the amendment as a matter of provincial
interest pursuant to section 17(19) of the Planning Act.

6. 1990 BUDGET GUIDELIIIES
KEY ISSUE
Each year, at the beginning of the budget process, the Board is asked to
recommend guidelines to be used in the preparation of the preliminary
estimates
Res. HIS Moved by: Gordon Patterson
Seconded by: Brian Barrison
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOIIMBNDS THAT the 1990 budgetary process
timetable, Appendiz EX.ll herewith, be received;
AND FURTHER THAT a 6.0' inflationary guideline for salaries and wages and a
4.8' general inflationary gnideline for services and goods be applied in the
preparation of the 1990 preliainary estiaates, ezcept wbere aore specific
revenue and ezpenditure estiaates are available.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
1. 1990 Budgetary Process
The Authority will be continuing the budgetary process begun in 1986, which
identif ies, in the preliminary estimates, priority ranking of expenditures
over and above an appropriate base compared with the 1989 approved expendi-
ture level. Explanations will be provided as to what is included in the
-base- budget and additional explanations for each level of spending over
and above this base.
The preliminary estimates focus on expenditure requirements. As we work
through the process, the funding sources available to support needed expen-
ditures are evaluated and analyzed in consultation with the Authority's
funding partners. The final budget is the end result of this consultation
and analysis which links funding sources to expenditures.
2. 1990 Budget Schedule
Appendix FA.175 herewith highlights the key dates within the budgetary
process timetable. The budget process begins in June, 1989 and concludes
with the approval of the 1990 final budget at Authority Meeting #2 in March
1990. 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 within their own budgetary
schedules.
ANALYSIS
1. Inflationary Guidelines
The following national inflationary forecasts for 1990 have been
ident if ied:
Scotia Bank 4.8%
Royal Bank 4 0%
Conference Board of Canada 4.7%
Woods Gordon 5 0%
Burns Fry 5.4%
The average inflationary rate predicted for the Metropolitan Toronto area is
about 1.2% higher than the national average which is about 4 8%. In 1989,
the estimate of inflation for budget purposes was 4.5%. Given the fore-
going, staff is prepared to recommend that we use 6.0% as a guideline for
salaries and wages and 4 8% for goods and services, except where more
specific revenue and expenditure estimates are available.
2. 1990 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 27, 1989 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.

TBB MAIII MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS ...............................CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At Meeting '7/88, November 4, 1988, the Water and Related Land Management
Advisory Board recommended to the Authority that a processing fee for
applications received under Ontario Regulation 293/86 be initiated At this
time, the Board also amended staff's recommendation by requesting the
following
". .AND FURTHER THAT a report be prepared and submitted to the Water and
Related Land Management Advisory Board in May, 1989 on the overall
processing of applications.-
The rationale for initiating the processing fee was to offset program costs
that currently exceed the level of program funding available The Authority
recognized the need to meet the needs of its clients, while balancing the
annual budget A similar processing fee for written responses to
solicitor/realtor enquiries had already been initiated in 1987
The processing fee revenue currently offsets the funding of 3 5 positions
within the Plan Review Section. It was noted at the time that a fee
structure to recover all projected costs associated with plan review
operations may not be realistic. It was further noted that an increase in
staff complement may be requiredl however, a review of existing section
operating procedures was required before a proposal in this regard could be
brought forward for consideration.
The Program Performance Reviews for 1986 through 1988 all noted a signifi-
cant increase in the volume of work being dealt with by the section and that
additional staff was required to achieve the preventative measures
objectives of the Authority's programs.
Implementation of the Greenspace Strategy will place additional pressure on
the staff resources of the section.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING '6/89, JULY 7, 1989
SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
7. PLAN REVIEW SECTION STAFFING PROPOSAL contd
RATIONALE
The Plan Input and Review Program is exceptionally vulnerable to budget
constraints - the program is labour intensive, but client controlled. The
demand for services, related to such things as the continued growth in the
development industry and new provincial and Authority planning initiatives,
has exceeded our current service delivery capabilities All planning
proposals have a specific time period for reply to certain applications
Comments are no longer being made on any committee of adjustment (variance)
applications While this has enabled timely replies to Official Plan
amendments, rezoning, and land divisions, only 50 per cent of subdivision
and site plan proposals are commented on by the due date. This can
negatively impact our credibility with our municipalities and result in loss
of effectiveness in implementing Authority programs A considerable amount
of staff time is also required to assist in Official Plan updates, the
review of Environmental Assessment reports, Affordable Housing, and Special
Policy Area applications.
Since the fall of 1988, the following actions have been taken to improve the
overall efficiency of the Plan Review Section
1 Strategic Management Planning Process
2. Initiation of processing fees and fee increases to offset expenditures.
3. Reorganization of staff and associated service delivery framework
4. Review of services, such as the discontinuation of services associated
with variance applications and improved operating procedures for
solicitor/realtor enquiries and processing of applications under Ontario
Regulation 293/86.
5 Expanded computer applications
6. Hiring of a part-time file clerk
While the continued review and expansion of all of the above initiatives and
actions will continue to improve program efficiency, the volume of work
requires an immediate staff increase to meet current program demands
To clarify the nature and extent of the staffing prOblem, the following
statistical illustrations may be helpful
- In the last twelve months there have been five terminations of the nine
full-time positions in the section: four of the five cited work load as
the prime reason for their resignation
- In the period between January 1989 and April 1989 one member of staff
responded to 677 phone calls (not an untypical example)
- In the period between January 1989 and April 1989 one member of staff
reviewed 50 draft plans of subdivisions (again, not an untypical example)
- The section's current staffing is 9 full-time and 2.5 contract, part-
time. In comparison, the Town of Vaughan's Planning Department has 26
full-time positions, and the Town of Markham's Planning Department has 23
full-time positions. These are only two of the twenty-four municipalities
that the section deals with.
DE~AILS OF WORK TO BE DORE
The proposal can be summarized as follows:
1 Extension of part-time file clerk to a 35 hour work week
Duties Filing: computerization of file records: processing of mail
2 Addition of 2 Planning Technicians
Duties Assist Plans Analyst, Plan Review in research and comments
associated with municipal planning documents and applications.

8. RECOGNITION OF FUNDING PARTIIERS
KEY ISSUE
Request of Metropolitan Toronto to include the Metro logo on Authority
stationery and vehicles.
Res. '117 Moved by: Helen White
Seconded by: Brian Harrison
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority advise Metropolitan Toronto tbat, because of the
large nuaber of funding partners, it is iapractical for the Autbority to
recognize all our funding partners by way of logo on our stationery and
vehicles,
THAT Metropolitan Toronto be advised that tbe Authority does recognize tbe
contributions of its funding partners on large signs located at all aajor
Authority facilities and in its Annual Report, which, in 1988, included the
logos of all funding partners;
THAT the Authority establish in tbe lobby of its Adainistrative Offices a
display aCknowledging the role of its funding partners, including their
logos,
TBAT project signs be re-worded to aCknowledge all funding partners;
AND FURTBBR THAT aeaber aunicipalities be requested to aCknowledge the role
of the Authority by way of appropriate signs located in park areas developed
on lands leased froa The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority.
CARRIED
BACKGROUIID
The Authority is in receipt of a communication from the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto, as follows
"The Metropolitan Executive Committee recommends the granting of
the permission requested in the following report (February 22,
1989) from the Chairman, Board of Governors of Exhibition Place;
and further, that all Metropolitan Agencies, Boards and
Commissions be requested to use the Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto Official Logo on their stationery or vehicles, etc. , with
implementation on a phase-in basis as stock is depleted "
RAT I ORALE
Staff has reviewed this request and is of the opinion that appropriate
recognition of all our funding partners is important to the success of the
Authority. We are also of the opinion that appropriate recognition of the
Authority's work within municipalities is important to public understanding
of the Authority's role Because of the large number of funding partners,
it is deemed impractical to include the logos of all our municipalities and
the Province of Ontario on our stationery and vehicles; however, there are a
number of other opportunities for recognition. Presently the Authority
names all its funding partners on signs posted at our major facilities
including Black Creek Pioneer Village. We acknowledge funding partners in
our Annual Report and, in 1988, included the logos of all our funding
partners
In addition, it would be appropriate for the Authority to create a display
for the lobby of our Administrative Offices which could include the logos of
all funding partners and we could improve the wording of our project signs
to identify all those financially supporting the project.
FINANCIAL DETAILS
All the recognition suggested, with the exception of the lobby display, can
be carried out without additional cost to the Authority Staff will
prepare an estimate of an appropriate lobby display

-Sale of Authority-owned land
east side of Goreway Drive, north of Hwy 17, City of Brampton
contd.
BACKGROUND
During early 1989, Authority staff was approached by representatives of
Ontario Hydro advising that additional Hydro facilities were required to
facilitate development in north east Brampton. It was proposed to establish
a new hydro right-of-way running northerly from the existing main line
located in the parkway belt utility corridor to serve development north of
Highway .7, west of the Authority's holdings in the Ebenezer Reservoir
The initial request by Ontario Hydro indicated a substantial requirement for
a permanent easement across the westerly side of the Authority holdings,
situate between Steeles Avenue and Highway 17 and included the crossing of
our entire holdings in the Ebenezer area, as well as the requirement for a
transformer station site.
After extensive discussions, Ontario Hydro has now agreed to proceed with a
buried cable installation within the boundaries of existing road allowances,
west of the Authority holdings, leaving the transformer site as the only
effect on Authority holdings The proposed hydro line and transformer
station construction are subject to the requirements of the Environmental
Assessment Act.
Ontario Hydro has co-operated extensively with the Authority over the years
in making lands available to the Authority at market value and the service
in this instance is to facilitate the requirements of the City of Brampton
and the Regional Municipality of Peel.

REPORT
At its meeting held May 31, lQ85, the Authority adopted a project for the
acquisition of Hazard and Conservation Lands within the Municipality of
Metropolitan Toronto.
The seven areas recommended for acquisition lie within the general
geographic areas listed below
1 Lower Don Valley between Bloor Street Ramp and Millwood Road
2 West Don River Valley between Sheppard Avenue and Finch Avenue.

>. Humber River Valley at Weston Road and Sheppard Avenue.
- 6. Rouge River Valley - Ontario Land Corporation Lands between
Metro Toronto Zoo and Steeles Avenue.
7 Lake Ontario Waterfront at Kipling Avenue.
The project envisaged an acquisition cost of $48,000,000 for the properties
based on valuation opinions provided by independent appraisers in 1984 No
provision was made for inflation or increasing land values. The project was
subject to the approvals of the funding partners - Metropolitan Toronto and
the Province of Ontario. By early December, 1985, these approvals were in
hand and ~he Authority proceeded with the project.
The properties acquired, to date, are as follows
Geoqraphic ~ ~ ~ !.2. ~
1 Torvalley $ 4,147,000
2 Hinder Estate 6,794,000
2 Bathurst Manor 3,546,250
6 Ontario Land Corporation 839,050
7 Lakeshore Hospital 10,739,300
Legal, Survey and Other 1,419,641
$27,485,241
============
The project calls for the costs to be shared by Metro and the Province on a
50/50 basis. The province has been contributing both cash flow and land, at
appraised value, to the project and is presently ahead of Metro in the
portion of the costs borne.
As of August 3, 1989, the sharing of costs has been
Province of Ontario $17,676,831
Metro Toronto 9,808,410

of Necessity, a Hearing for Compensation by the Ontario Municipal Board
resulted in an award in the amount of $16,150,000 plus interest at 6%, plus
costs for the Torvalley property The Authority appealed this decision to
the Divisional Court. The Divisional Court decision was released August 2,
1989

amount owing Torvalley, should the decision of the Divisional Court stand,
will be approximately $17,850,000
The total funding in the project is $48,000,000. After the expenditures to
date of $27,485,241 and payment of the balance of the award to Torvalley in
the amount of $17,850,000, the balance of funding in the project is
approximately $2,662,000

No updated estimates of costs of the remaining properties to be acquired
have been made, with the exception of the Domtar property (Geographic Area
1) , which is to be considered by the Authority at its meeting September 8,
1989
The eventual disposition of the Torvalley decision notwithstanding, it is
clear that there are insufficient funds in the present project to complete
the acquisition program. This was reported to the Metro Council through its
Budget Sub-Committee last year and Metro Council undertook to review the
completion of the program when the present funding was expended
It is expected that the appropriate action will become clear when the
Torvalley acquisition is completed. In this connection, the following
action has been taken
(a) The Executive Committee directed the Authority solicitors to file for
leave to appeal the decision of the Divisional Court within the 15-day
period allowed. This has been done, thus preserving the Authority's
rights. It is expected that a date in October will be set for the Court
to consider whether or not leave to appeal will be granted.
(b) The Divisional Court decision is being reviewed by Ministry of Natural
Resources' solicitors, Metro solicitors and an independent solicitor to
give an opinion as to what course should be followed with respect to an
appeal.
(c) Members of Metro Council and Ministry of Natural Resources officials
have been briefed with respect to the court decision. When the various
opinions sought are in hand, a recommendation will be made with respect
to pursuing an appeal
(d) Negotiations with Domtar have proceeded and approval of the funding
partners will be sought subject to the decision of the Authority with
respect to the Executive Committee report emanating from Executive
Committee Meeting 17/89 held August 4, 1989.

KEY ISSUE
Late in 1988, Members of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board
requested that staff investigate Authority participation in GASAMO
Res. 1161 Moved by: Gordon Patterson
Seconded by: Ji. Witty
THAT the following report dated June 7, 1989 on Authority participation in
GASAMO be received,
AND FUR~R THAT staff advise when an opportunity to join tbe GASAMO
co-operative arises.
CARRIED
RBPOR~
Staff was asked to investigate Authority participation in co-oper~tive
natural gas purchasing through GASAMO GASAMO is the utility established by
the Association of Municipalities of Ontario to take advantage of deregula-
tion of the natural gas industry. In effect, GASAMO becomes a large natural
gas purchaser on behalf of a number of municipalities. This is attractive
to municipalities which use substantial volumes of natural gas because they
can use their buying power to purchase gas at lower prices
The purchase of natural gas is different from most commodities since gas
cannot be stored. Accordingly, GASAMO must agree to purchase a given
quantity and be assured that its members will be able to utilize all of the
gas purchased If more gas is required than purchased, then the cost is
usually based on a formula. When too little gas is used by the purchasing
agency, the gas must be used elsewhere and there may be penalties.
During 1988, the Authority purchased about $25,000 worth of natural gas. We
estimate that, had we participated in GASAMO, our savings would have been in
the order of $2,000.
Authority staff contacted the GASAMO representative and has been advised
that GASAMO is no longer accepting participants. The savings that had been
anticipated from the co-operative venture are no longer as lucrative as had
been expected since the price, at source, is increasing and competition
amongst major gas users has resulted in retail prices falling The members
of GASAMO who continue to participate are doing so because of the long-term
contracts to which they are committed.
To participate in the program, if the opportunity occurs, the Authority need
only enter into the particular contracts that GASAMO offers to its member
organizations and contracts with the actual supplier and local gas company

13. UNFUNDED SICK LEAVE LIABILITY
This itea was recoaaended for approval at Finance and Adainistration
Advisory Board Meeting '2/89, held on July 28, 1989.
KEY ISSUE
The Financ~ and Administration Advisory Board requested that staff report on
the Authority's unfunded sick leave liability.
Res. 1162 Moved by: Gordon Patterson
Seconded by: Lois Hancey
THAT the following report on unfunded sick leave liability be received,
THAT staff be directed to investigate and bring back to the Finance and
Adainistration Advisory Board a report on hiring an actuarial consultant to
look into Option 3 below;
AND FURTBBR THAT staff continue to aonitor the sick leave liability.
CARRIED
REPORT
In 1981, the Authority introduced short-term sick leave and long-term
disability plans and replaced the previous policy whereby Authority staff
could accumulate unused sick leave days.
The Authority's policy for accumulated sick leave days provides for payout
of 50% of the accumulated sick leave up to a maximum of six months upon
retirement or termination. Those employees who have accumulated sick leave
credits may also use them to top up the short-term disability payments which
amount to 75% of salary. As at December 31, 1988, the maximum potential
liability for accumulated sick leave payments was approximately $741,000.
This is down slightly from the 1987 amount of $749,000. The estimated
accumulated sick leave liability as at the end of December, 1989 is
$749,600.
This is an unfunded liability of the Authority. Each year, as part of the
budgetary process, each division estimates the number of employees who will
retire in that year and provides for the sick leave payout in its operating
estimates. Budget adjustments are made when unplanned payouts have to be
made.
The value of the liability will increase steadily until 1996, after which
time the amounts will decrease. Based on planned age-65 retirements,
payouts from the plan will continue until the year 2024.
There are essentially three options to be con~idered
Option 1
This is the status quo. The Authority will plan from year to year to have
sufficient funds in its budget to cover payouts in the coming year. Average
payouts over the next few years are in the $20,000-$30,000 range and are
manageable. In 1997, however, almost $120,000 in payouts will be required,
which would have a major impact on the budget in that year. In looking at
other options, the objective would be to smooth out these potential budget
variances.
Option 2 funding each year for the next five
A second option would be to provide for to ten years sufficient to establish a reserve. For example, providing the
sum of $90,000 annually for the next ten years would provide sufficient
funds to pay the annual requirements over the period and establish residual
reserve funds to cover all remaining payments After the tenth year, the
Authority would have no further operating budget obligations with respect to
sick leave liability.
B-137
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IIBBTING '8/89, HELD ON AUGUST 25. 1989
SECTIOII II - ITBIIS FOR AUTHORITY IIIFORllATION
13. UNFUNDED SICK LEAVE LIABILITY contd.
Option 3
A third alternative is to seek the necessary funding to eliminate the
liability now Those members of staff who have accumulated sick leave
liability would probably be willing to accept less than their eventual
payout today because money in hand has more value than a payout many years
away
If we assume that inflation is 5% and use a discount factor of 7%, it is
reasonable to expect that we could payoff the entire liability, having an
actual value of $787,000 at the end of 1990, with $600,000 or about 76% of
the actual value
There are a number of variations of this option. Assuming we cannot raise
$600,000 at one time, we could endeavour to raise varying amounts of funding
over the next two to three years and accomplish the same purpose.
Funding of a reserve fund for sick leave liability is one of the few areas
where Ministry of Natural Resources grant money can be placed in a reserve.
Given the limited funding we have had from M.N.R. in recent years, it is
unlikely that they would provide sufficient funding to enable us to
establish such a fund. We could, however, make a request for funding over
and above the rather inadequate funding we now receive, on the basis that
M.N.R would also achieve some savings. A similar request could be made of
our member municipalities to fund the reserve as a means of reducing future
costs.
The member municipalities and the province could argue equally well that the
annual funding provided to the Authority will be limited in any case and
that there is no real advantage to them. In other words, if th is is such a
good idea, we should fund it from available funding and not seek additional
funding to do so.
It is more likely for the Authority to seek approval to use funding from its
own sources. For example, land sale monies could be allocated towards this
project The Authority could apply to use land sale revenues to fund the
reserve or eliminate the liability altogether.
SUMMARY
In conclusion, given the limited funding available to the Authority for its
regular activities and the demands on land sale funds, in particular for
planned land acquisitions in the Oak Ridges Moraine and elsewhere, it is
probably not appropriate at this time to seek funding of our sick leave
liability Staff recommends that we continue to pursue Option 1 and deal
with the unfunded sick leave liability as we have in the past.

the 15th Sideroad on the east side of the 5th Line,
THA~ the purchase price be $40,000 payable in four instalaents over a period

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
On May 18, 1966, the Authority purchased from Leo G. Beckett 2 982 acres,
more or less, being Part of Lot 13, Concession 5, former Township of Albion,
under the Bolton Dam and Reservoir Project A condition of the purchase was
that Mr. Beckett retained ownership of the dwelling on the basis of his
being responsible for the removal of the dwelling from the property and
restoring the site to the satisfaction of the Authority
Mr. Beckett recently contacted Authority staff, advising that he is now
proposing to move from this location, sell the dwelling for removal and
restore the site to the satisfaction of the Authority in accordance with the
terms of the original agreement.
RATIONALE
Upon reviewing this matter, it would appear advantageous to have an
Authority-owned dwelling at this location for security reasons, as the
extensive Authority land holdings in this area are currently being used as a
Resource Management Tract. No plans are at hand for construction of the dam
and reservoir in the immediate future.
Authority staff has done an extensive review of the building and concludes
that it is structurally sound. It is estimated that the purchase price can
be recovered from rental revenue over a four-to-five year period.
FINANCIAL DE~AILS
The funding of this purchase will be charged to account 003-12-344 Rental
Account, and will be recovered through rental income from the dwelling

BACKGROUIID
The Authority has developed an extensive program for mapping our headwater
streams under the Federal/Provincial Flood Damage Reduction Program (FDRP)
Under this program, 90\ of the funding required for mapping or associated
studies is provided by the federal and provincial levels of government; the
Authority contributes the remaining 10% The Authority proposed and had
approved under the FDR Program a Regional Headwater Hydrology Study to
develop flow data on approximately two hundred of our headwater streams
draining less than thirteen hundred hectares (1,300 ha).
Four firms were invited to submit proposals for this study under a detailed
set of Terms of Reference. The firms and their reported costs are listed
below.
MacLaren Plansearch $ 97,000.00
M. M Dillon 87,000.00
Marshall Macklin Monaghan 117,500 00
Cumming Cockburn Limited 113,000.00.
RATIONALE
The proposals of the four firms were reviewed closely by representatives
from the Authority, the Province and the Federal Government in accordance
with the Terms of Reference. The firm of M M Dillon deviated extensively
from the Terms of Reference. All three reviewing agencies ranked the firm
of MacLaren Plansearch as the best proposal based upon their past experience
with similar studies, their comprehension of the Terms of Reference and the
team they had assembled for this study.

-Consultant Selection, Regional Headwater Hydrology Study contd.
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
The study will develop a regional methodology for establishing flow data on
approximately two hundred watersheds within the headwaters of all nine of
the Authority's watercourses. The study will calculate a minimum of two
flow points on each of the watersheds
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Being under the FOR Program, 90% of the required funding will be provided
through the provincial and federal governments; the Authority's contribution
is the remaining 10% Funding for this study has been approved and is
within the Authority's 1989 budget. A total of $75,000 has been allocated
within the Mapping Extension Program budget for 1989. The remainder has
been committed by the FDR Program for the completion of the study in 1990
FUTURE BERBFITS
The development of a regional methodology for developing flow information
will allow the Authority to develop floodlines along those watercourse's not
presently regulated. The development of floodlines along our headwater
streams will assist in preventing future flood susceptible development as
well as protecting the headwaters as defined in the Greenspace Plan.

Since almost all members of the Authority sit on Councils, Boards or
Committees which meet on days other than Friday, we have arranged this
schedule to accommodate all Authority meetings on Friday
In only one instance will two meetings be held at the same time, and that is
on March 2, 1990, when there will be a Finance and Administration Advisory
Board meeting at the office and Water and Related Land Management Advisory
Board meeting at Black Creek Pioneer Village This is made necessary by
the fact that projects, and final budget approvals, must be considered by
the Authority before the end of March in order for the work to be carried
out during 1990
Three Finance and Administration Advisory Board meetings are scheduled for
8 00 a m. prior to an Authority meeting
One Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board meeting is
scheduled for the afternoon.
All meetings, with the exception of those noted above, begin at 10 00 a m
This proposed schedule keeps within our Rules of Conduct, section 32
"Meetings of the Authority shall be held at least six (6 ) times a year in
addition to the two (2 ) meetings required by the Regulation governing the
procedure of the Authority and the time span between such meetings shall be

The Authority's 1990 Preliminary Estimates are submitted for review
Res. '192 Moved by: Gordon Patterson
Seconded by: Sail Kolb
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the 1990 Preliminary Operating and
Capital Estimates, Appendix FA.191, be approvedJ
AND FURTHER THAT representatives of the Authority, including the Chairaan of
the Finance and Adainistration Advisory Board, meet with officials of the
meaber municipalities and the province to present and discuss the
Authority's 1990 Preliminary Operating and Capital Estimates prior to
submission of the final budget.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
As in past years, the Authority's budget process involves the establishment
of a base level of funding in each division using the 1989 approved budget,
less any adjustments for non-recurring items Each division's base is less
than its 1989 approved budget and will vary depending on the size and type
of special projects and other non-recurring items
Items within the various programs and activities of each division included
in the base level of funding have been explained in a brief narrative
section To this base level of funding, each division has added a list of
"priority additions" These p~iority additions are discrete decision
packages ranked in decreasing order of priority, i e. item 1 is the most
important and each item that follows decreases in importance
For each priority addition, an explanation is included which illustrates the
service level or other improvements which will result if that item is added
To achieve the overall spending target for the Authority, a line has been
drawn, below which items are not funded in the 1990 Preliminary Estimates
Items which are listed above the line have been included, but in some cases
will be subject to review as provincial and municipal funding availability
is known
The priority additions are grouped under major sources of funding
(a) administration,
(b) water and related,
(c) conservation and recreation,
(d) levy supported,
(e) projects
For each funding category, sub-sections identify the divisional priority
additions included in that category of funding.
Divisional priorities within each major funding category have been
identified In reviewing priority additions, grouping of items by major
funding category will assist members in distinguishing those items which are
funded 100%, 50% or 45% by the levy It should be noted that while the
listing of priority additions within each division is in decreasing order of
importance, the divisional group lists are not in priority order

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING '10/89, OCTOBER 13, 1989
SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION
6. 1990 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES contd.
Highlights of the 1990 Preliminary Estimates
The major new initiative in 1990 is the implementation of the Greenspace
Strategy for the Greater Toronto Region which was approved by the Authority
in 1988
Gross expenditure of the Authority, including the Greenspace Strategy, will
grow by 10 1%, an increase of just under two million dollars over 1989's
approved budget Because operating and other revenues are predicted to grow
only modestly over the 1989 approved budget, net expenditure must rise by
16 4% In 1989, actual operating revenues are down significantly and this
is reflected in the modest increases identified for 1990.
Removing the Greenspace initiative inVOlving some $492,000, the Preliminary
Estimates provide for a 7 6% increase in gross expenditures or 11 5% in net
expenditures "Net expenditures" is that portion of the budget funded by
municipal levy and Ministry of Natural Resources grant
In 1990, implementation of the new recreation funding formula for distribu-
tion of the municipal levy amongst the Authority's member municipalities
requires an additional contribution of $158,000 from the Conservation
Recreation Development Reserve The effect of this contribution is that the
actual amount of funding from MNR grant and municipal levy will increase by
14 8% including Greenspace, or 9 9% without the Greenspace program The
municipal levy must rise on average by 9.2% and MNR grant requirements will
be 11 2% over 1989, eXCluding Greenspace.
Of the gross expenditure increase, almost 1 1 million dollars relates
directly to salaries, wages and benefits. The Authority's Preliminary
Estimates include an annualization of adjustments made in 1989 as well as an
increase of about 6% in salaries and wages identified in the budget guide-
lines approved by the Authority earlier this year About $400,000 is
budgeted to improve services and provide for inflation across a variety of
activities. Inflation is predicted to be in the 5-6% range in the Greater
Toronto Region in 1990.
The 1990 Preliminary Estimates include major improvements and services in
the Water Resource area to accommodate development control and enforcement,
most of which is related directly to implementation of the Greenspace
Strategy. The gross expenditures for Black Creek Pioneer Village include
major development projects which must be funded from other revenues, not
levy or grant. These expenditures amount to some $230,000.
Included in the budget are a number of projects for which funding from the
Ministry of Natural Resources has been requested. In past years, many of
these projects have not been funded and, as a result, matching municipal
levy may not be required
Capital
A new flood control project for 1990, entitled -Black Creek Jane/Weston",
provides for the enlargement of the culvert underneath Jane Street.
The Conservation Area Development Project includes $1,800,000 for road,
sewer, water and hydro services, plus commencement of the water play pool at
the Boyd Conservation Area. One million dollars will be available from
existing reserves and $800,000 will be funded from the levy and MNR grant
equally. The pool, slides and land play activities are scheduled to be
completed in 1991 at a cost $1,800,000.
The Bellamy Road Ravine Erosion Control project will be completed in 1990
The $100,000 budget is for clean-up and restoration. The Hazard and
Conservation Land Acquisition Project (Metro Land Acquisition) is budgeted
to bring total expenditures to the project limit of $48,000,000.
The general Land Acquisition Project is budgeted at $1,600,000, of which
$500,000 will be raised from MNR grant and municipal levy, with balance to
be financed from pending land disposals

CARRIBD
ANALYSIS
The following Schedule 1 illustrates the impact of the changes necessary to
accommodate the Finance and Administration Advisory Board's request. The
1989 Budget, plus the commitments approved by the Authority during 1989,
yields a net expenditure budget base for the 1990 estimates of $10,326,800
Adding 7% to this base produces an amount in excess of the 1990 estimates
recommended to the Executive Committee
To accommodate the Greenspace component, staff has reduced operational
requirements substantially The general inflationary guideline for 1990 is
4.8% and the salary guideline is 6%. using the adjusted base suggested in
the resolution, the 1990 Preliminary Estimates, excluding Greenspace,
provide for a net expenditure increase of 5.5%.

to the AuthoritYI
AND FURTHER TBAT staff be directed to review the increases in Itea 31,
entrance fees to Black Creek Pioneer Village, and aake a report to the
October 27, 1989, Authority aeeting.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In establishing a recommended Fee Schedule, staff annually reviews charges
made by other organizations operating similar facilities Information from
our visitor surveys indicating the satisfaction of value for the dollar and
general program satisfaction have been taken into account. For specific
programs, the operating and delivery costs have been reviewed to ensure that
they are recovered
FINANCIAL DETAILS
Admission and Program Fees account for a significant portion of operating
costs; Conservation Areas - 40 0%, Kortright - 43.8%, Conservation Field
Centres - 100%, Black Creek Pioneer Village - 60.8% At Kortright Centre
and Black Creek, general admission fee increases are proposed The 1990
rates are in line with charges made for similar facilities and reflect
individual operating costs.
At Conservation Areas, parking fees account for one third of the total
revenue and an increase is proposed The last parking increase occurred in
1988. In addition, Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill Conservation Areas, based
on the availability of swimming, will have a higher parking fee than other
areas. During the winter at Albion Hills and Bruce's Mill, admission will
be totally on a per person basis Previously, skiing has been charged in
this manner, while other winter activities have been based on car parking
The per person charge will also apply to the Bruce's Mill Maple Syrup
Program. Programming changes, including weekend guided tours and the
opening of the Mill, will provide added value for the dollar A per person
fee for adults fishing in the public Glen Haffy ponds is also proposed.,
This will permit the recovery of some of the costs associated with providing
fishing and will bring the operation more in line with private fishing
areas

item 31 of the fee schedule and make a report to Authority Meeting #7/89
Res. '195 Moved by: Lois Bancey

THE EXBCUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the 1990 fee increases for Black
Creek Pioneer village, included in the proposed 1990 Fee Schedule, be
approved,
AND FURTHER TBAT steps be taken to apply a parking fee, either by day or by
month, for private vebicles using the Black Creek Pioneer Village parking
lot.
CARRIED
RATIONALE
In order to maintain the 1990 levy increases for Black Creek Pioneer Village
at a reasonable level, staff looked at potential increases in revenue and
decreases in expenditures.
Following a review of entrance fees charged by other major Metro Toronto
attractions and a review of recent visitor survey forms, staff is of the
opinion that an increase in adult admission fees, $5.00 to $5 50, seniors
from $3 00 to $3 50, and for each person under five years of age in an
organized group including supervisors from $1 50 to $1 75, is justified
These three increases will generate approximately $65,000
It was requested at the Advisory Board that staff investigate a charge for
the wagon ride and also the potential for other sources of revenue
It is very difficult to estimate the number of persons who would pay for a
wagon ride If a charge is made, the present number would probably decrease
substantially. It would be necessary to have staff sell tickets for the
wagon, at a cost of approximately $21,000 per year. Collecting tickets by
the driver would slow down the wagon ride operation and would considerably
increase the hazard with the horses being left unattended
The only other potentially large source of revenue is to charge for parking
This might generate as much as $40,000 gross revenue per year and operating
labour costs of about $10,000. However, there is a substantial capital cost
for lighting and paving before it would be feasible to charge for parking

Seconded by: Lois Bancey
THAT the fira, Ogilve, Ogilve , Coapany, be retained to design and deliver a
two-day worksbop tbat will assist The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority in developing a study process for the Duffin Creek
Watersbed Management Study for a total cost of $4,8~0.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In 1986, MTRCA, with support from the watershed municipalities, provincial
ministries, and other stakeholders, initiated the Rouge River Watershed
Urban Drainage Study Earlier this year, the Rouge River Watershed
Management Plan was completed The plan will be brought forward for
approval by the Authority this fall The Rouge River Watershed Management
Plan represented a study that has advanced the Authority as a leader in
watershed management.
MTRCA is continuing to hold the position of leader in watershed management
by embarking on a similar study for the Duffin Creek Watershed. MTRCA is
currently exploring alternatives for a study process that will improve upon
the Rouge River Study (particularly in the role of the stakeholders) On
August 23, 1989, MTRCA staff met with Mr Robb Ogilve to discuss the
possibility of using a "consensus approach" to public participation in the
Duffin Creek Study. Mr. Ogilve was recently retained by the Ministry of
Natural Resources to design a policy development process based upon an
approach that required consensus among the stakeholders for the Strategic
Plan for Ontario Fisheries (SPOF II).
DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE
Based on the discussions at the August 23rd meeting, Robb Og ilve has
prepared a proposal which outlines the fOllowing
Deliverables
a) To develop a Workshop Guide that can be used by the participants prior to
the workshop and form the basis of the final report on the workshop
discussions and conclusions.
b) To facilitate a tWO-day workshop with MTRCA staff on October 30-31,
1989.
The content of the workshop would focus on the following
identifying the key stakeholders who should be involved in the Duffin
Creek study
. identifying and delineating the purpose, philosophy, prOblem-solving
methodology, decision-making mechanisms, decision-making players, and the
dynamics of the process
developing a critical path for the Duffin Creek study
c) To draft a summary report on the workshop discussions and conclusions
FINARCIAL DETAILS
The estimated total cost for the workshop is $4,800 (based on $4,400
consulting fees and $400 desktop publishing) This workshop would provide
the necessary background information and analysis of the issues for the
Duffin Creek study. Funding is available in Account No 112-31

KEY ISSUE
To retain the services of Atria Engineering Hydraulics Ltd to conduct a
coastal engineering study of Single Layer Armour Stone Revetments and to
provide the services of an MTRCA staff member for this study
Res. '204 Moved by: Brian Harrison
Seconded by: Helen White
THAT Atria Engineering Bydraulics Ltd. be retained to complete the coastal
engineering study for Single Layer Araour Stone Revetaents at a total cost
of $12,700 and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
provide the services of one aeaber of its staff for the project.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
A study was conducted in March 1988 for Public Works Canada, entitled
"Development of Design Criteria for Single Armour Stone Breakwaters, PHASE
I Existing Structures and Design Criteria". Results of this study indicated
there are no existing criteria for single layer structures The study also
indicated that, under storm conditions, a single layer revetment structure
would be badly damaged and was not recommended for design These recent
discoveries from the physical model tests cause Authority staff some concern
as the conventional single layer structure has been used extensively by
MTRCA. The performance of these structures has been very good, probably as
a result of the thick pre-armour layer used by the Authority Design
performance under severe storm conditions needs to be evaluated
The study will involve the co-operation of the following five agencies
Public Works Canada, Transport Canada, Small Craft Harbours, Ontario Hydro
and MTRCA.
Atria Engineering will be the project managers, responsible for the overall
development of the study. This will include supervision of the physical
modelling program, analysis of the model study results and presentation of
the final report Ontario Hydro will be responsible for providing the wave
flume and some technical advice. Public Works Canada, Transport Canada and
Small Craft Harbours will be the scientific authority for the project
MTRCA will be responsible for providing an intermediate engineer who will be
responsible for the day-to-day operation of the physical modelling program
DETAILS OF THE WORK TO BE DONE
The scope of the work includes
- a physical hydraulic modelling program to test and compare the performance
of single layer systems with double layer systems under identical
environmental conditions;
- test the performance of revetment cross-sections similar to the
existing ones at South Marine Drive;
- a cost/risk analysis for single layer armoured breakwaters;
- a cost comparison between equivalent single and double layer
armoured structures
FIIIANCIAL DETAILS
Funding will be available in 1990 under the Great Lakes Shoreline Program.

-Consultant Services con td.
This study also suggested that the most immediate development consideration
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 consultant initiated the work in October 1988 in accordance with
approved terms of reference which focused on the small craft harbour A

Plan Update.
Further discussions with the Ministry of the Environment indicated that the
Authority should proceed with an environmental assessment for the entire
site
RATIONALE
The Authority requested a cost estimate for the expanded work program The
extra consultant fees are required for the following major areas environ-
mental investigations, traffic consultant, public meetings, preparation of
uplands alternatives, review of cut and fill options and final report

THAT the consulting fir., Walker Wright Young Associates Ltd., be retained
to conduct the land-use planning component of the Duffin Creek Watershed
Manage.ent Study at an upset cost of $17,500.
CARRIBD
BACKGROUND
In 19a6, MTRCA, with support from the watershed municipalities, provincial
ministries and other stakeholders, initiated the Rouge River Watershed Urban
Drainage Study Earlier this year, the Rouge River Watershed Management
Plan was completed The plan will be brought forward for approval to the
Authority this fall The Rouge River Watershed Management Plan represented
a study that has advanced the Authority as a leader in watershed
management
MTRCA is continuing to hold the position of leader in watershed management
by embarking on a similar study for the Duffin Creek Watershed One
component of the Duffin Creek study is to establish existing and committed
land-use within the watershed and to develop future land-use scenarios in
order to evaluate the potential impacts of development in the watershed
Following preliminary meetings, MTRCA staff requested that two consulting
firms submit a proposal for the land-use planning study Both firms have a
range of related project experience in the Duffin Creek watershed Malone
Given Parsons Ltd. have worked on several planning projects in the Town of
Ajax and have experience in planning proposals for landfill sites and the
Pickering Airport in the Durham Region. Walker wright Young Associates Ltd
have an excellent understanding of watershed planning needs based on
previous work that they have undertaken for MTRCA (i e Rouge River Study)
They were also instrumental in the preparation of secondary plans for the
Seaton Community in the Town of Pickering.
Unfortunately, Donald Given, President of Malone Given Parsons Ltd , elected
to withdraw from bidding on the project. As a resident of the Duffin Creek
community, he felt that his participation could be perceived as a conflict
of interest and consequently jeopardize the credibility of the study MTRCA
staff is confident that Walker wright Young Associates Ltd. will produce a
land-use planning study of exceptional quality.
DETAILS OP WORK TO BB DORB
The land-use planning study will include the following activities
1. Preparation of land-use plans of the Duffin Creek watershed, including
a) a base map of the watershed;
b) existing land-use of the watershed, based on official plans and
secondary plans of relevant municipalities and 19a9 airphotos from
MTRCA;
c) committed land-use plans of the watershed (based on areas where the
planning status of the land has advanced beyond the granting of draft
plan approval, and therefore changes in watershed management practices
could not be implemented;

being part of the foraer MacKenzie and Grogan properties, Part of Lot 10,
Concession 6, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, situate on the
north side of Glasgow Road, be declared surplus to the requirements of the

Related Land Management, and the Pinance and Adainistration Advisory Boards
be established as a coaaittee to review all proposals received for the
disposal of this land and to .ake a recoaaendation to the Authority with
respect to ulti.ate disposal.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The subject land consists of parts of larger areas originally acquired by
the Authority during late 1977 in connection with the Bolton Dam and
Reservoir project In order to acquire the portions of the property
required by the Authority for the proposed Flood Control Project, it was
necessary to acquire the entire holdings of both properties involved. The
parcel proposed to be declared as surplus is situate well beyond the
original boundary of acquisition for the Bolton Dam and Reservoir Project,
as approved by the Province of Ontario
The Authority has received a number of enquiries in recent months regarding
the possible sale of this property and it would now appear to be an
opportune time to proceed with disposal of this surplus parcel. It is
proposed that the land be advertised for sale publicly with interested
parties being invited to submit proposals to the Authority for
consideration.
It is suggested that a committee, consisting of the Acting Chairman of the
Authority, together with the Chairmen of the Water and Related Land
Management, the Conservation and Related Land Management, and the Finance
and Administration Advisory Boards be established to review proposals
received and provide a recommendation to the Authority concerning the
disposal of this land.
RAT I ONALB
The land proposed to be declared surplus is beyond the Authority's land
acquisition requirements
PINANCIAL DBTAILS
It is proposed that the proceeds from this land sale be utilized, upon
receipt of the appropriate approvals from the Province of Ontario, for the
acquisition of high priority floodplain, valley and waterfront land within
approved boundaries of the Land Acquisition Project 19a7-1991.

REPORT, dated Noveaber 16, 1989
At its meeting #4/a9, the Finance and Administration Advisory Board
considered a report on the purchase of computerized accounting and
information systems Following the meeting of the Steering Committee on the
same day of the Advisory Board meeting, and after staff completed research
and cost analysis, a recommendation for the purchase of systems was made by
the Board
The detailed cost and performance information which follows supports the
conclusions and recommendations made by the Finance and Administration
Advisory Board. The Authority's purchasing policy requires that purchases
in excess of $100,000 be approved by the Authority.
COSTING SUMMA.RY
Of the three responses to the Request for Proposal, the STM Systems Corp
proposal was rejected immediately on the basis of cost. Costing for the STM
solution can be summarized as follows
Hardware $130,661
Software 162,000
Oracle Licence 50,000
Source code for applications 112,500
$455,161
The above does not include customization and provincial sales tax. Also,
annual hardware and software maintenance was quoted at $43,3a2 for the
second year alone. It should be noted, based on the proposal submitted,
that the STM solution appears to come the closest to meeting all of the
, Authority's software requirements.
The proposals from Chassels Computer Systems Inc and Bull HN Information
Systems Limited were in line with staff expectations and with available
funding.

The Bull HN solution will be substantially more expensive when the cost of
conversion and customization is included. Bull HN representatives would ~
commit to providing a costing for customizing their existing software to
meet the Authority's accounting needs. All modules,,particularly Accounts
Payable, Accounts Receivable and Cash Receipts, require extensive modifica-
tion to the point where they would be substantially re-written. The Report
writer requires a certain level of "technical expertise" to operate, by
their own admission. The Personnel module was not available and Bull was
not prepared to help the Authority find a suitable product that could be
integrated with their software
The Chassels proposal was scrutinized most closely. The solution meets
almost all of the Authority's needs, and both they and Authority staff are
confident that a spring 1990 delivery is feasible. Reference checks were
conducted and have been very positive.
Therefore, the Chassels solution is recommended since it best meets
Authority needs and it is the lowest quote received.

Metropolitan Toronto be advised of travel on behalf of the Authority to
conferences or meetings by members of Metropolitan Toronto Council.
Authority staff is prepared to provide this information tollowing the f i li ng
of expense reports by Authority members appointed by Metropolitan Toronto
Counc il Members of the Authority should be aware that there is no legal
requirement for the Authority to provide this information, but, if it is of
value to a member municipality, it is clearly in the interests of the
Authority to co-operate in providing such information
Travel to conferences or meetings by Authority members must be approved by
the Executive Committee and members must adhere to the travel policy of the
Authority Requests by Authority members to travel to conferences in recent
years have been minimal. On average, fewer than three or four such
approvals are granted each year. In 19a9, the approved conference budget
for travel by members was $6,000. In 1990 the same amount is budgeted

CARRIBD
BACKGROUND
The Employee Suggestion Awards Sub-Committee met on November 17, 1989, to
consider suggestions received from six employees during the past twelve
months and to re-evaluate a 19a8 suggestion Four recommendations are made
for receipt of the award
RATIONALB
Mr. Gary Valiant and Mr. Brian Crozier received a $50 award each in
November 19a8 for their joint suggestion that a FAX machine be placed in
each Authority work location. The $50 award was given pending the results
of a six month pilot project which was conducted from January to July 1989
The pilot project results indicate an annual saving of approximately
$17,000 when FAX machines are introduced in all work locations. Based on
the cost savings resulting from the suggestion, the Sub-Committee
recommends an additional award of $150 each to Mr Valiant and Mr. Crozier,
bringing their total award to the $200 maximum
Mr Grant Martin, an employee of Albion Hills Conservation Area, submitted
to the Sub-Committee his design for a universal shooting bench, to be used
by right or left handed visitors to the Cold Creek rifle range. The Field
Operations Division adopted the design because of its superior qualities of
adjustable seat and interchangeable arm rest. The design provides greater
comfort to visitors and eliminates delays in waiting for either a left or
right handed shooting bench to be available The Sub-Committee recommends
an award of $150 to Mr. Martin for his innovative design.
Mrs. Paula Leggieri, secretary in the Field Operations Division, suggested
a re-design of the staff telephone directory that provides more complete
information and cross-reference in a concise format. The Finance and
Administration Division, responsible for the telephone directory, will
implement Mrs. Leggieri's format in 1990 The Sub-Committee recommends an
award of $25.

THAT the Authority's solicitors be directed to request that the Authority be
a party to the Hearing of the Ontario Municipal Board regarding the
application of Greenwin Construction Company;
AND PURTHER THAT staff be directed to take whatever action is required,
including the retention of planning and engineering consultants, in order to

Res. '243 Moved by: Brian Harrison
Seconded by: Helen White
THAT the Authority strongly oppose the application in the form in which it
has been sub.itted to the Ontario Municipal Board;
,
AND PURTHER THAT the Authority request the Ontario Municipal Board to
award costs incurred in appearing at the Hearing.
THE AMENDMENT WAS ..............................................CARRIBD
THB MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS ...............................CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Greenwin Construction Company requested that their application to the City
of North York for an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment
be referred to the Minister of Municipal Affairs. It would appear that this
request was made in 19a6. The application before the Minister is for three
apartment buildings and two recreational facilities This matter has been
scheduled to be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on January 15,
1990.
During 1989, staff of this Authority worked with representatives of Greenwin
Construction Company, culminating in the approval of a proposal for two
apartment towers, which respected the Authority's policies A permit was
also issued by the Authority under Ontario Regulation 293/a6 on August 4,
1989 for the placement of fill which would allow access to the development.
RATIONALE
The proposal before the OMB is substantially different from that approved by
the Authority and would not be consistent with Authority policies. It is
unclear at this time for which proposal Greenwin is seeking OMB approval.
Therefore, it may be necessary for staff to ask to be a party to the OMB
Hearing in order to put forward the Authority's position

Christopher Berry, Supervisor, Albion Hills Conservation Field Centre, has
requested permission to pursue an opportunity to teach with the Department
of National Defence Education System, in Europe
Res. '248 Moved by: Lois Hancey
Seconded by: Bail Kolb
THAT Christopher S. Berry's application to teach in the Departaent of
National Defence Education Systea in Burope be supported;
AND PURTHBR THAT should Mr. Berry be selected, he be granted a two-year
leave of absence froa August 1990 to July 1992.
CARRIBD
BACKGROUND
The Department of National Defence regularly seeks teachers to fill postings
in the education system for Canadian dependents overseas. Schools for the
Canadian Forces bases in Germany are modeled on the Ontario school
curriculum Mr Berry has expressed an interest in pursuing a two-year
secondment to teach in the Outdoor/Conservation Education Program
FUTURE BBNBPITS
Should Mr. Berry be selected, it would provide him with the opportunity to
return to the classroom setting and bring himself up to date on various
aspects of curriculum It would also give him an international perspective
on outdoor and conservation education through involvement with field centres
in the Department of National Defence system, as well as other European
centres This information would be of benefit to the Authority's program
through sharing with other field centre staff and bringing new ideas to the
Authority program.
During Mr Berry's absence, there would be temporary staff promotion from
within the education section to fill the Albion Hills Field Centre
Supervisory vacancy and other subsequent staff vacancies. This would give
staff an opportunity to gain valuable experience, which would be of benefit
to the Authority when seeking to fill future vacancies.
Both the Director, Field Operations, and Manager, Conservation Education,
have reviewed and support this request.

Res. 1249 Moved by: Lois Hancey
Seconded by: Eai 1 Kolb
THAT the vehicles and equipment identified in Appendiz EX.22 be declared
surplus;
AND PURTHER THAT they be disposed of as follows:
Schedule A: 'l'rade-in
Schedule B: Auction
Schedule C: Advertised Tender.
CARRIBD
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the Authority's Disposal Policy, the staff Equipment
Committee Chairman has prepared lists of vehicles and equipment to be
replaced in 1990 Also, items that are obsolete or no longer required by
fie ld locations have been identif ied These lists have been reviewed by
Management Committee
RATIONALE
The vehicles on Schedule A are part of the Authority's chargeback system to
be replaced in 1990 Disposal by trade-in is recommended because
a) replacement vehicles may not be received prior to a spring auction and
retaining same to a fall auction decreases value while increasing repair
and insurance costs;
b) vehicle tenders over the past three years have provided trade-in
allowances in excess of either the Authority's book value or staff's
estimated value. Even if vehicles are received late, the trade-in value
offered on the accepted tender is guaranteed
Schedule B represents equipment on the Authority's chargeback system to be
replaced in 1990, as well as surplus items which will not be replaced. The
auction method is recommended based on the success of the 1988 and 19a9
equipment auctions, which provided revenue in excess of estimated value
Schedule C represents a specialty item and the advertised tender method will
produce the best possible return.
PINANCIAL DBTAILS
Total estimated proceeds on disposal
Schedule A Trade-in $28,000
Schedule B Auction $24,255

THAT the Eaployee Computer Purchase Plan be continued during 1990J
THAT full-time staff of the Authority be offered the opportunity to use a
Payroll Deduction Program to a maziaua of $1,500, and covering not more than
25 pay periods, to assist in the purchase of computer equipment;
THAT part-tiae and seasonal staff and Authority members be permitted to
participate on the basis of an outright purchase of the equip.ent prior to
an established close-off date;
AND PURTHER THAT staff report to the Pinance and Adainistration Advisory
Board on participation in the prograa and the final cost involved in the
payroll deduction part of it.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
In June, 19a8, the Finance and Administration Advisory Board recommended to
the Executive Committee the introduction of an Employee Computer Purchase
Plan This was approved by the Authority in July, 198a (resolution #136)
At that time, staff advised that the plan offered a number of advantages to
the Authority and to the staff Most notably, staff has demonstrated a
wi 11ingness to learn computers, to be more creative in investigating new
applications, new software and new approaches to solving computer problems
when a computer is available in the home About 35 members of staff and one
Authority member participated in the plan
DETAILS OP WORlt TO BE DONE
In the continuation of the Plan, the following commitments, laid out in
198a, would still apply
Em~loyee Commitment
.The employee identifies a package of equipment to be purchased
.The employee accepts full responsibility for the equipment from the time it
is delivered, including maintenance, training, software, etc
.The employee agrees that the equipment will not be resold for one year
Authoritx Commitment
.The Authority facilitates the ordering of the employee's equipment
The Authority arranges 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
have to be full-time staff and 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 payor other outstanding
wages/salary

-Continuation contd.
Each full-time employee participating in the Payroll Deduction Plan is
elig ible to receive up to $1,500, to be repaid over 25 regular pay
periods
The Authority accepts no responsibility for equipment purchased by the
employee
Computer Supplier Commitment
The computer supplier agrees to provide equipment to the staff of the
Authority at the same price as offered to the Authority
The computer supplier agrees to provide warranties and support to each
employee as set out in their standard contract
PINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The cost to the Authority in operating the plan is not significant There
is a minimal amount of staff time involved in the management of the payroll
deduction part of the program, as well as ordering of the actual equipment
and distr ibution The Authority will lose some interest earnings on the
monies paid to the supplier when the equipment is purchased The 198a/a9
plan, which involved some 35 employees ut il i zing the $1,500 payroll
deduction, cost the Authority, in lost interest revenue, approximately
$2,400. Given the benefits to the Authority of increased computer ski 11s,
this investment of approximately $70 per person is very reasonable
As in the past year, the Employee Purchase Plan will be made available to
full-time staff who can participate in the payroll deduction program and to
part-time and seasonal staff and members who can participate but would have
to make an outright purchase of the equipment. The payroll deduction
program will conclude within one year and all staff participating will sign
the necessary agreement guaranteeing repayment of the $1,500
Authority staff has received quotations for computer equipment in accordance
with the Authority's Purchasing policies and Procedures We have concluded
that the supplier will be Business World. Business World is offering
computer equipment at a price less than that of other suppliers, including
Best Computers (now Exceltronics) from whom the Authority has purchased
equipment in 19a8 and 19a9. In addition, Business World offers support,
software, and warranty coverage superior to other suppliers

in the fall of 19a9 differed from that being appealed to the Ontario
Municipal Board A letter from Mr Chusid, solid tor for Greenwin

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year the Authority was approached by representatives of the
York Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board advising that the Board was
interested in the acquisition of a secondary school site in the Woodbridge/
Kleinburg area A letter, dated September 22, 19a9, has been received from
Lorna D Jackson, Mayor of the Town of Vaughan, indicating the Town's
support of the request from the School Board The subject land is currently
utilized by the Authority as an integral part of the Authority's nursery
operation
For some time, the Authority has been consldering relocation of the nur~ery
facility to the north end of the Authorlty holdings, on the Glassco
property, for a number of reasons, includlng quality of soil at the existing
site A larger nursery site is required to meet the demands of working with
our municipalities for the future provi~ion of plant material, as identified
in the Greenspace Plan A long term arrangement with the City of Toronto is
now being finalized and we expect other municipalities to follow
During the past several months, the Authority has been proceeding with
feasibility studies for the Boyd Concept Plan The opportunity will be
available during the early 1990's to carry out implementation of certain
major components of the plan, i e provlsion of water play facilities in the
Boyd area.
While approaches to the Province of Ontario regarding components for the
Boyd Concept Plan have met with enthusiasm for the initiatives proposed, we
have also been advised that funding constraints may severely restrict
provincial financial assistance While the $500,000 identified for
relocation of the Authority nursery wlll be required for items associated
with relocation of the nursery and the bUlldlngs, the funding to be obtained
by the Authority from the sale will provIde an opportunity for immediate
implementation of the facilities identlfled within the Boyd Concept Plan
The initial request from the York RegIon Roman Catholic Separate School
Board was for a larger parcel The Board has co-operated extensively with
the Authority in arriving at the boundarle~ of the site in a manner to
ensure that all environmental concerns for protection of the valley will be
accommodated
The parcel proposed for disposal consl~t~ entirely of table land This land
was originally acquired as a part of a total farm holding for construction
of the Boyd Dam and Reservoir Disposal of this table land parcel still
leaves the Authority with adequate land requirements for construction of a
dam and reservoir at this location should it be deemed necessary at some
future date
All the associated costs involved in the completion of the transaction will
be paid by the Board

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Some divisions of the Authority have been Involved in long-term vehicle
rentals and leases to accommodate vehicle requ1rements for their operations
Ini tially, some programs were ident1fted as short-term projects, e g
Resource Management and Waterfront ProJects It is now apparent that the
duration and commitments to these programs will be long term It is,
therefore, important that the Author1ty address these long-term requirements
in the most economical and responsible :r.anner
RATIONALB
A detailed analysis of leased vehicles and t~e Authority's own fleet program
identified savings of $3,000 to $4,000 per veh1cle when a leased vehicle was
put on the chargeback system The savl"~ s almost double when long-term
rentals are replaced through the charge back system
. In total, there would be a saving of approx :nately $71,500, based on 1989
rates, to the various divisions over the next three years if the 11 vehicles
were owned and on the chargeback system T~e 3-year savings of $71,500 is
further off-set by lost interest revenues of about $29,000

BACKGROUND
The Authority, in preparation of concept and development plans, has, since

tives of the provincial government with respect to design and environmental
aspects relating to construction of the future Highway 407 through the
Claireville Conservation Area.
The technical staff of the provincial Ministries of Transportation and

the Authority in an attempt to minimize, as much as possible, the
disruption, inconvenience and environmental concerns to the adjacent
Authority holdings in the area.

BACKGROUND
The Regional Municipality of Peel originally requested that the Authority
convey title to this parcel After a review of the location, the
Authority's technical staff advised that this property is strategic to the
construction of the Bolton dam and reservoir While the construction of a
dam and reservoir at this location is not identified in our current flood
control construction schedule, it has been the Authority's policy to leave
the option open for reactivation of the earlier proposed dam and reservoir
projects.
During subsequent meetings with staff of the Region of Peel, it was
indicated that this is a temporary site and it will only be required for
approximately five years. Accordingly, a leasing arrangement will satisfy
the requirement of the Regional Municipality of Peel Upon completion of
the lease periOd, the well and pump house are to be removed by the Region
and the site restored to the satisfaction of the Authority.
The Region of Peel has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for
the nominal consideration of $2 00 and has requested that the land be leased
at the rate of $1.00 per year The Region has agreed to assume all legal,
survey and other costs involved in completing the transaction
The subject lands were acquired from N.B. Taylor in August 1962 under the
Bolton Dam and Reservoir project.

CARRIED
BACKGROUND
The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has proposed a project to extend
Leslie Street south from Eglinton Avenue and to widen the Bayview Extension
from just north of Pottery Road to Bloor Street Since this proposal is
subject to approvals under a number of Acts and regulations, the provisions
of the Consolidated Hearings Act apply and Metropolitan Toronto must
consolidate all hearings or potential hearings before a single Joint Board.
The Authority has previously commented on these proposals
1. January 1972/December 1973 Approval in principle subject to the
detailed proposal addressing flood and erosion control concerns.
2. Apr il, 1977 As a part of the "Metropolitan Arterial Roads Report", the
Authority requested the opportunity to comment on these proposals, at
all stages of detailed plan preparations, as they affect erosion
control, flood control and the general conservation of land.
3. December 1986 In response to circulation of the draft Environmental
Assessment Report, staff indicated that the recommended route reflected
the Authority's preferred alignment; however, the details of the
proposal would be subject to technical review under Ontario Regulation
293/86
RATIONALE
The areas of Authority concern are the design and potential impact of the
bridge structure that will be required to cross the Don River immediately
south of Eglinton Avenue; the configuration of the interchange required to
connect the Leslie and Bayview Extensions and the proposed improvements to
the Bloor/Bayview interchange; and the potential impacts of the widening of
the existing Bayview Extension These issues are normally dealt with at the
detailed engineering phase and are subject to the Authority's regulation
Staff would require the detailed engineering information prior to
recommending, to the Executive Committee, an approval under Ontario
Regulation 293/86

Staff has discussed the status of this proposal with the Metropolitan
solicitor and indicated that, currently, we have not received the de ta iled
engineering information on which we could proceed to prepare a permit
applica t ion. We understand and appreciate that Metropolitan Toronto does
not want to expend funds on the final design of these facilities prior to an
assurance that the numerous approvals can be obtained There is a question,
therefore, as to how the Joint Board would deal with the technical issues to
be addressed by the Authority' s regulation
The Metropolitan solicitor has indicated that, given the number of issues
and approvals involved, the Joint Hearing could be lengthy There is a
potential for considerable staff and legal time if the Authority is a
full-time party to the Hearing.

Proposal.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At its meeting #7/88, January 20, 19a9, the Finance and Administration
Advisory Board made the following recommendation, which stated in part
"THAT staff be directed to ensure that in the coming year the recommenda t ion
for acceptance of banking services be based on a proposal call to all
acceptable financial institutions".
As a result of this recommendation, which was approved by the Executive
Committee, staff conducted a proposal call
- Specifications for banking services were prepared A key criterion was
deposit locations suitable and accessible to the Authority's many
operational locations
- Other criteria were generic and the specifications document compared
favour ably with recent banking specifications used by the Region of Peel
and the Town of Vaughan.

-Results of Call for contd
- An advertisement requesting proposals from interested financial
institutions was placed in the Toronto Globe and Mail on December 4,
1989
- The proposal call closed on December 21, 1989
ANALYSIS
As a result of the proposal process
- Four institutions wrote and declined to submit proposals
- One institution, The Bank of Nova Scotia, attended at the Authority
offices to review our specifications As a result of these discussions,
additional information on the Authority's current banking charges was
sent to all seventeen ins t itu tions.
- The National Bank of Canada sent a proposal but it was not received
until the day following the closing date.
- Only one complete proposal was received on time and that was from The
Royal Bank of Canada.
Because only two responses were received, staff opened and reviewed the
proposal from The National Bank in spite of its coming in late. The service
charges proposed were $1,220 per month, an amount higher than that proposed
by The Royal Bank. The National Bank had indicated no provision for direct
access to daily balances and transactions. The National Bank proposal did
not have deposit locations at four of the locations required by the
Authority. Accordingly, The National Bank proposal was rejected
ROYAL BANK PROPOSAL
Staff is recommending acceptance of The Royal Bank proposal because it meets
the geographic criterion and the stated terms and conditions of the banking
services specifications in an economical and efficient manner. A summary of
the key criteria follows

party on 90 days' written notice. As required by the Authority's borrowing
resolution, The Royal Bank is also prepared to extend a $10,000,000 line of

SUMMARY
Staff is satisfied that The Royal Bank will continue to provide superior
quality banking services to the Authority The proposed fees, charges and
other terms and conditions appear consistent with market conditions for

THAT the member and local municipalities be thanked for their support for
the principles of the StrategYi
THAT staff be directed to provide input and assistance to the Province of
Ontario's Greenland StrategYi
AND PURTHER THAT staff be directed to prepare a comprehensive document
integrating the goals and objectives of the Watershed Plan with the new
initiatives in the Greenspace Strategy.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
At its meeting 17/88, held October 28, 1988, the Authority resolved
"THAT A Greenspace Plan for the Greater Toronto Region be received,
Appendix AM.66 as appended to the Authority minutes, and adopted as
a guide to supplement the Watershed Plan (1986) ;
"AND FURTHER THAT A Greenspace Plan for the Greater Toronto Region
be submitted to the Province of Ontario, Councils of the
Authority's member municipalities, interest groups, The
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Foundation and
neighbouring conservation authorities for consideration and
support, and that these agencies be advised that representatives of
the Authority would be prepared to make a presentation to them"
ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE
The Plan was presented to the Minister of Natural Resources in November,
1988, and circulated to the Authority's member and local municipalities
During 1989, presentations of the Strategy were made to municipal councils,
local interest and ratepayer groups, and to municipal and provincial staff
groups
Two publications were prepared and distributed to communicate the Strategy
January 1989 - summary of text
July 1989 - tabloid.
The July tabloid reflects the change in reference from a Plan to a Strategy
This was based on the comments received at municipal presentations and the
concern that a "plan" is a legal document or a detailed design As our
proposal requires more details prior to implementation, we agreed with the
comments that it should be called the Greenspace Strategy.
The Greenspace Strategy resulted from the Authority's concern that certain
renewable resource management issues are not being given sufficient
recognition in a period of rapid urbanization and, further, that the
achievements of the past, to ensure the integrity of the watershed systems,
are at risk, given the high land values that have accompanied this growth
The principles of the Strategy are

A to plan with our renewable resources, recognizing the headwaters, river
systems and waterfront as community resources which, as Greenspace, both
support a healthy ecosystem and contribute to the quality of life across
the Greater Toronto Region;
B. to recognize that management of the land, whether in private or public
ownership, makes a difference to the conservation of renewable
resources, and to encourage best management practices and programs for
education, demonstration and recognition;
C to continue selective acquisition of those lands which are particularly
significant resource areas to ensure they are conserved in perpetuity
and, where appropriate, to make them available for public use
The response of the Authority's member and local municipalities has been
very supportive of the principles addressed by the Strategy There has been
concern regarding the funding of those new initiatives proposed and the
financial implications on the Authority's levy requests A summary of
municipal response is attached to this report
The response of the Province was, initially, somewhat similar but this took
on a new dimension during 1989 with the appointment of M P P Ron Kanter to
"develop the Greater Toronto Greenlands Strategy"; to "identify plans to
protect in perpetuity the river valleys and headwaters of Lake Ontario in
the Greater Toronto Area"; and to recommend a "greening strategy to protect
the natural landscape along the waterways from the Oak Ridges Moraine to the
Lake" Mr Kanter is expected to report by June, 1990 This appointment
has focused greater public and political interest on Greenspace resources
and, it is hoped, will assist in accomplishing the goals and objectives
identified in the Authority's Strategy
Authority participation in the Kanter assignment has included the
identification of Authority interests and recommendations; participation in
workshops; presentation of the Greenspace Strategy; and tours to illustrate
the critical issues requiring action
Certain components of the Strategy have proceeded to implementation
1 The Watershed Planning process on the Rouge River system commenced in
1986 and resulted in the preparation of a report and recommendations
which will be considered by the Authority at its 1990 Annual Meeting
2 The proposals related to the Public Use of Authority Lands have
proceeded to the preparation of more detailed Master Plans and the
consideration of specific proposals for those components proposed for
private development.
3 The Oak Ridges Moraine initiative has been the focus of considerable
public and political interest, and draft planning guidelines are being
prepared for presentation to the Water and Related Land Management
Advisory Board on March 2, 1990 and to the Authority on March 23, 1990
Research has also been initiated towards the development of a Private
Lands Stewardship Program.
WORK TO BE DONB
The Authority adopted the Greenspace Strategy as a supplement to its
Watershed Plan; however, the focus of much of the discussion during 1989 has
been on the new initiatives proposed in the Strategy. In order to integrate
these initiatives with the goals and objectives of the Watershed Plan, a
single comprehensive document is required.
PINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
On March 23, 1990, the Authority will be reviewing a proposed Budget which
is intended to begin implementation of specific Greenspace initiatives As
they are supplements to the Watershed Plan programs and projects, there are
funding and staffing implications which will need to be addressed

Alan Brown, Margaret Buchinger and Donna Shaw addressed the Committee
KBY ISSUE
The Town of Markham has applied for permission to construct Phase I of a
proposed public asphalt-surface parking facility within the Rouge River
(Bruce's Creek) flood plain, adjacent to the historic Village of Unionville
Parking currently takes place at this location.
Res. '291 Moved by: Emil Kolb
Seconded by: Jim Witty
In accordance with Ontario Regulation 293/86, permission is granted to the
Town of Markham to construct a parking lot on Part Lot 12, Concession 6, in
the Town of Markham, Rouge River Watershed, for the period of Pebruary 9,
1990 to Pebruary 9, 1991:
In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this
permit:
1. Main St. - Unionville Parking Lot Proposal, Town of Markham, Project
'88-50, Drawings '1, Ol-D and 02.
2. Environmental Report - Unionville Parking Lot.
3. Letter Report .Unionville Parking proposal., January 15, (1989).
4. Subject to additional Tree Planting and Landscaping Report being
submitted and approved by MTRCA staff.
CARRIED
BACKGROUND
Staff has reviewed the application on the basis of Section 1 2 of the MTRCA
Parking Lot Policy guidelines, 1985, quoted below
1.2 MUNICIPAL PARKING FACILITIES
The application of flood control regulations must be a co-operative effort
between member municipalities and the Authority. While each has objectives
that differ, the decisions of both must be complementary
In the Metropolitan Toronto area, the flood plains and adjoining valley
walls represent some of the last open space areas. Public agencies have
long recognized the value of the natural valley systems for their potential
to provide open space and recreational activities. Similarly, the Authority
has identified these activities to be, for the most part, acceptable flood
plain uses and recognizes that provision must be made for necessary support
facilities such as parking lots
Therefore, to provide for the planning objectives and open space/
recreational requirements of the member municipalities and other public
agencies, the encroachment of parking lots into the flood plain may be
permitted subject to the following
a) the parking lot be associated with a municipal or other public
recreational plan;
b) the area of parking within the flood plain be appropriately zoned within
the municipal zoning by-law;
c) the level of flood protection will be determined on a site specific basis
recognizing the Authority's overall flood protection objectives within
non-Damage Centre areas; however

11. APPLICATIONS POR PBRMITS UNDER ONTARIO REGULATION 293/86
-Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways contd.
(a) Town of Markham contd.
(i) the minimum level of required flood protection will be that of the
post development, 100 year flood as achieved through the applica-
tion of the depth and velocity criteria found in Appendix A;
(ii) additional non-structural means of flood protection will be
encouraged, such as a joint site specific flood warning/protection
program between the MTRCA and the municipality;
(i ii) if fencing is required, it should allow for the maximum passage
of flood flows;
(iv) the placing of fill as a means of flood proofing will be
discouraged; and
(v) fill i ng to raise grade to meet the required depths and velocities
under the post development 100 year flood will not be accepted
RATIONALE
Staff recommends approval of this application based on the following
analysis
(a) The proposed parking facility addresses the need to provide for
increased public parking associated with the existing commercial
development of the Village of Unionville and would also have the effect
of providing access to the open space lands of the Bruce Creek valley
The proposal is based on the recommendations of a parking requirement
study completed for the Town. The parking lot will be owned and
operated by the Town of Markham
(b) By-law 122-72 provides for public use of this area In addition, the
Town of Markham has included these lands within the proposed Special
Policy area (SPA) . The lands will be designated and zoned in accordance
with approved flood plain planning policies. The Authority re-endorsed
the Town of Markham request for SPA designation at Meeting #7/89,
October 27, 1987; however, final approval is pending
(c) The parking lot meets the depth and velocity criteria for 100 year flood
protection. The parking lot will display signs advising of flood risk
potential The site will be included within the MTRCA/Municipal flood
warning contingency plans. Minor filling and regrading is required to
accommodate site drainage. Site ingress and egress are existing.
In addition to the above, the Town has provided details for stormwater
runoff quantity and quality control that are satisfactory to staff. Tree
removal and planting details have been provided. The Parks and Recreation
Department will be carrying out additional tree plantings and will provide
this information when available.
Phase II of the proposed parking facility is pending subject to property
agreements being finalized by the Town of Markham
Sediment controls will be practised during construction activity.

BACKGROUND
At Meeting 19/87 held on July 10, 1987, the Executive Committee approved a
permit under the Authority's Fill and Construction Regulation to temporarily
store PCB contaminated waste material within the regional flood plain of the
Don River The application was approved subject to several conditions, two
of which were as follows
"THAT the Authority request the Ministry of the Environment to include, in
the conditions of their certificate, provision for the installation to be
approved up to but not more than three years;
"AND FURTHER THAT renewal of the permit on an annual basis be subject to
the review of the Authori ty "
The City has complied with these conditions and has applied for permit
renewal each year. The City of Toronto also submitted annual inspection
reports on the condition of the on-site storage facilities. The reports
ver if ied the faci li ty is operating as designed and that there is no evidence
of any environmental hazard. There were, however, many minor points which
were identified and subsequently rectified Based on these inspection
reports, the Authority issued the necessary yearly extensions.
The final extension to the annual Permit No C-0537 was approved by the
Executive Committee at its meeting held on October 13, 1989 The Executive
Committee passed Resolution No 209 which stated

"THAT Permit No C-0537, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 293/86,
issued to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto on behalf of the City
of Toronto, dated September 17, 1987, be extended for the period of July
10, 19a9 to July 10, 1990;
"AND FURTHER THAT staff request the City of Toronto to inform us as soon
as possible on where this waste will be re-located, since the permit
expires in July 1990 II
In response to Resolution No. 209, Authority staff requested that the City
of Toronto advise the Authority as soon as possible where the subject waste
will be re-located prior to the expiry date of the permit. The City of
Toronto Property Department has responded and requested an extension of
the permit until December 31, 1990 by a letter dated December 20, 1989
This letter advises that the City had found a site but it was not considered
acceptable by the Toronto Board of Health. As a result, the Ci ty is
reviewing other privately-owned and City-owned properties To date, no
suitable site has been identified.
In addition, the City has engaged the services of Trow, Dames and Moore to
undertake a study on the current methods of treating and/or disposing of
PCB-contaminated waste. The City also advises that, due to the on-going
planning for the development of Ataratiri, some land transfers are required
As a result, the existing PCB storage site may have to be moved to the
southerly portion of the site.
On January 16, 1990 the City of Toronto Property Department submitted a copy
of a letter and a copy of the fifth semi-annual inspection report as
prepared by the Proctor & Redfern Group
Staff has reviewed this extension request and is prepared to recommend that
Permit No. C-0537 be extended from July 10, 1990 to December 31, 1990
Staff also recommends that any relocation of the storage site will be
subject to a new application in accordance with Ontario Regulation
