water ski show at the Wild Water Kingdom was de layed due to the sale of the park The process of obtaining approval for this new development cannot be completed in time for the 1989 season, nor is there sufficient time to perform the site modifications required In the mean t ime, we like to request a permission perform a Water Ski Show, as a pilot project in a location that does not require extensive capital investment The reservoir can also be utilized to expand the activities available at the Water Park by the addition of a water skiing centre This would maximize the investment in the water ski show equipment OBJECTIVES The long term objective of the Wild Water Kingdom is to expand the participatory activities offered at the Water Park and to increase its profile as a tourist attraction to draw patrons from a wider geographic area In order to do this we must expand the entertainment value offered at the Park One of the main elements in this plan is the development a professional water ski show facility similar to that of Cypress Gardens in Florida The short term objective is to establish the water ski show in conjunction with a recreational water skiing facility for the patrons of the Water Park A condensed water ski show can be performed in the north section of the reservoir in the section in front of the launch ramp where the water is depth is presently suitable FACILITIES This area in the north section (near the launch ramp] is suitable for the installation of temporary seating and floating docks The existing launch ramp will be used for daily boat launching The ski show will be performed directly in front of this location where there is the greatest water depth There is sufficient room here to provide the required 3X) x 500' show patterns Controlled access to this seating will be provided through a fenced corridor joining the east section of the Water Park adjacent to the wave pool The recreational water skiing will utilize the south section of the conservation area The docks will be positioned at the base of the railway bridge on south side and a walkway will be provided under the railway bridge This will allow both activities to operate at the same time If the water level is not sufficient the 2nd option would be to move the observation area to the grass section on the north side of the railway tracks This location is a natural observation area due to the gentle slope of the hill down to the water front Access to this area would be provided by the walkway under the railway bridge used by the recreational skiers Although this solution is not as convenient as the former, it would be a good contingency in the event the water level becomes a problem on the north side ~)(.3 INSURANCE Since all boat drivers and the show skiers will be employees of the Water Park, they will be covered by the existing second party liability policy Recreational skiers will be patrons of the Water Park, therefore will be covered under the existing third party liability policy which has a maxtmum coverage of 5 million do llars SAFETY Direct radio communication will be maintained at all times from the tow boats and dock to the Water Park first-aid room and telephone Ski Centre Boat Drivers will be required to have proper training in life saving and first aid All Ontario boating regulations will be strictly enforced Proper boat driving techniques will be taught by the Ontario Water Skiing Instructors Course with a more site-specific training program provided before commencing employment The recreational skiing facility would be staffed by graduates the Ontario Water Ski Association Instructors' Course OPERATION Ski shows will be performed daily in the evening @ 7 00 pm, with additional afternoon shows on weekends and holidays The ski centre would be open to the public seven days a week with the same period of operation and hours as the water park The day to day acti vi ty would be focused on the patrons of the Water Park for recreational skiing The water skiing tickets will be purchased from the Water Park sales kiosk Access to the water skiing will be provided at the south east corner of the Park, through the ski show corridor Avid water skier who wish to ski on a regular basis can purchase a season pass to the Water Park This pass would also provide access to the Water Park for use of the change rooms, food and washroom facilities These advanced skiers would tend to utilize the site mainly in the evenings for the last four hours of operation which will help increase the site population during the slower periods There will NOT be a handicapped skiing program Recreational skiers are towed in a large oval pattern while the advanced skiers wi 11 be towed back and forth in a straight line There will only be one boat allowed on the site during advanced skiing periods due to the driving pattern and the higher speed requirements of these skiers Recreational skiing periods will generally use only one boat The use of two boats will only occur if there is a he ight demand Two boats can quite sagely be operated when oval patterns are used and the boats alternated the access to the starting dock This situation will most often occur when lessons are being tBUght where the one boat is spending most of its' time idling in the water while the skier gets reorganized The tow boat always remains close to the skier and does not leave a fallen skier alone in the water Ex.1f The boat will NOT be allowed to tow a skier under the bridge NO swimming will be allowed at any time ENVIroNMENTAL IMPACf The water ski boat has beneficial effects on a body of water due to the improved aeration resulting from the action of the propeller in the water This has been proven in numerous locations in the U S where lakes utilized solely for testing of outboard motors have been found to be healthier than other nearby bodies of water that do not have the intense boat traffic The motor in the boat does not pollute the water There are several water ski sites in the U S that are also fish farms and again the action of the propeller in aerating the water is found to be very beneficial to the fish The noise level of water skiing tow boats is much less than one would expect Water Ski Magazine s 1989 Boat Buyer s Guide did extensive testing of all the popular tow boats and measured noise levels of the boats as they pass by at skiing speed of 58 k p h at a distance of 100 feet A skier would not be brought closer than this to the shore since the standard rope length is 75 feet The outboard motors in the 200 h p to 225 h p range averaged 73 dB while the inboard tow boats averaged 71 dB These readings are equivalent to that of a car travelling at 40 k p h or that of a radio at average volume They are definitely IIDlch lower than the 00 dB noise level of a single car travelling at 00 k p h which is the speed limit on the nearby roads THe intensity of the noise varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source This means that a person on the shore 1000 feet from these boats would experience a noise level of 20 dB lower [51 to 53 dB] This is equal to the level of normal conversation Noise levels do not add numerically The operation of two boats at the same time would increase the sound pressure level by 3 dB The high ground surrounding the site helps to contain the noise that the boats do produce and the proximity of the site to both highway 427 and to the railway tracks will render the sound of the boats undetectable outside of the immediate area of the boat 00 the water During the four years that the Ontario Water Ski Association operated the Claireville Water Ski Centre the noise frOll the boats was not a problem in the camp ground on the west shore or in any of the surrounding areas All public address systems for the water ski show would be positioned so that the commentary does not carry into the residential areas nearby No lights would be considered for this activity ~)(,S- REVENUES Due to the fact that the Aquarama Water Ski Show at the CNE has been discontinued for the 1989 season, it will be possible to attract their existing sponsors to our water ski show It is quite timely that we produce a ski show this season if we wish to attract these sponsors We expect sponsorship to cover all of the operating cost of the ski show We project that the admission charge will generate $200,000 in new revenues In addition the recreational ski centre should generate another $30,000 These figures will be included in the gross revenues of the Water Park SUMMARY The proper development of a professional water ski show will take several years to accomplish and a capital investment of approximately one million dollars Such a show would have unique promotional value that would attract extensive corporate sponsorship The first step in achieving this objective is to establish a water ski show on the site that attracts public interest The addition of live family entertainment will expand the popularity of the site both in the local commun ity and the surround ing areas This would be an important element in our progress towards becoming a major tourist attraction ~)( , ~ 'l'BB MB'l'ROPOLITAR 'l'OROR'l'O AHD RBGIOR CORSERVATIOR AU'fBORI'1"l WALItER BOOSB IR OOnSVIBW DELLS PARI[ Reco..endation fro. tbe Co.aissioner of parks

Recoaaendation (15) Citizens appointed by Metropolitan Council also to report at least once a year. The Secretary-Treasurer assists members of Council and citizen appointees for Metropolitan Toronto in the preparation of a progress report which is forwarded to the Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Standing Committee at least once a year This practice has been in place since Metro Council approved a similar recommendation from the Task Force on Functional Relationships about three years ago. Recoaaendations (17) , (18) One-year teras of appointaent for meabers of Metropolitan Council and citizens to Metropolitan Toronto Special Purpose Bodies be iapleaented, wherever possible, The appointaent year should be standardized for councillors and citizens to extend froa Deceaber 1 to November 30, wherever possibleJ The report of the Special Committee recognizes MTRCA's special needs in regard to the term of appointment. Because the Authority's annual meeting is held in February, it is not appropriate for Metro Councillors to appoint members effective December 1st. The Special Committee addressed this point and agreed that, wherever possible, this would occur but, in the case of MTRCA, the appointment would be effective from the date of the annual meeting of the Authority. There are no special problems associated with the one year term save and except the learning curve for new members. In extending the term of elected officals from one year to three years, the Province recognized that councillors require time to learn about issues, procedures and municipal government and that it usqally takes about one year in office before members can contribute most effectively to local government. The same arguments apply with respect to the work of the Authority and it is hoped that, while Metro may use a one year term, members will be re-appointed to ensure continuity and effectiveness in the decision making of the Authority. E)t,~ - 2 - Reco_endation (19) Upon resigning a Metropolitan Council seat, all appointaents to Special Purpose Bodies which were aade by virtue of Metropolitan Councillor status should also cease1 The Conservation Authorities Act and Regulation provide that members of an authority are appointed by the respective councils of the participating municipalities and "each member shall hold office until the first meeting of the Authority after the term for which he was appointed has expired" If a member of Metropolitan Council ceased to be a member of Metropolitan Council, it would be necessary for that individual to advise the Authority that he/she has resigned and for Metropolitan Toronto Council to appoint someone in his/her place Reco_endation (20) Special Purpose Bodies advise the Metropolitan Clerk when any Meaber of Councilor citizen appointed by Metropolitan Council has been absent froa three consecutive Board aeetings of the Special Purpose BodY1 At Meeting *2/89, held on July 28th, the Finance and Administration Advisory Board recommended the following THE BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THAT staff be directed to recommend (a) a more frequent reporting system on members' attendance at all Authority meetings to be circulated to all municipalities every three months or six months: (b) a method of reporting who attends meetings at which there is no quorum The policy of the Au thori ty is to report annually to member municipalities on the attendance, per diem and expenses paid to all members appointed to the Au thori ty. If Metropolitan Toronto Council would like to receive bi-annual or quarterly attendance reports regarding participation of Metro Council members on the Authority's Advisory Boards, Executive Committee and the Authority, such a report can be provided Where a meeting of an Advisory Board or the Executive Committee is convened and a quorum is not present, the Authority may wish to direct the Secretary- Treasurer to report to the Authority that such a meeting was called Further, the Secretary-Treasurer could identify those members who attended at the appropriate time and place, as well as those members who did not attend including, as information, any reasons given by those not attending for their absence. Reco_endation (26) The Chief Adainistrative Officer and the Metropolitan Treasurer review the financial reporting policies for reauneration and espenses and distribute specific regulations to all applicable Special Purpose Bodies, The issue of remuneration paid to members of Metropolitan Toronto Council and citizen appointees to the Authority has been discussed on a number of occasions in recent years. The Conservation Authorities Act has no provision for this Authority to accept direction from a municipal council not to pay a member. The Conservation Authorities Act specifically states that salary expenses or allowances of any kind paid to member~ of an Authority must be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. Accordingly, the Authority establishes the per diem rate and the honorarium paid to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman on an annual basis. Having approved this renumeration, the Authority seeks the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board.
