1985 REVISED BUDGET
On March 1, 1985, at Meeting #2/8S, the Authority adopted the 1985 Budget in the
absence of complete provincial cash flow information from the Ministry of Natural
Resources. In adopting the budget the Authority recommended that
"the Executive Committee be authorized to reduce the said budget
and levy, should such action be deemed expedient."
Staff has now received an approved grant level from the Province in the amount of
$5,025,583 The budget has been revised to incorporate the available provincial
cash flow.
In summary, total planned expenditures have been reduced by approximately
$365,000, to $19,216,000 and, correspondingly, provincial grants have been
reduced by approximat.ely $210,000 to the approved level of $S,02S,S83 Capital
levy requirements are reduced by $180,000 to $1,894,000, other income increased
by $35,000 and revenues decreased by $10,000. The general levy remains at the
same level approved by the Authority on March 1, 1985.

REPORT tl/8S OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER HONORARIA, PER DIEM AND EXPENSES
FOR AUTHORITY MEMBERS
In reviewing the matter of honoraria, per diem and expenses for Authority
members, the Committee followed its mandate from the Executive Committee
"To study and report to the Finance and Administration Advisory
Board on the honoraria, benefits and expenses to be paid to the
Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and the Chairmen of the Advisory Boards,
and also the amount of per diem expenses to be paid to members of
the Authority"
The Committee conducted a survey of the practice of other conservation
authorities, and noted that the current practice of The Metropolitan Toronto and
Region Conservation Authority with respect to the Chairman's and Vice-Chairman's
compensation approximates that of the Grand River Conservation Authority, the
second largest Authority in the province, with the difference that a greater
proportion of the honoraria is shared with the Vice Chairman. The present
practice of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is as
follows
Chairman's Honorarium: $19,000.00 plus the. use of a car, and the same benefits
as staff if the Chalrman elects to use them;
Vice-Chairman's Honorarium: $7,400.00 plus mileage and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance; Members' Honorarium: $48 00 per diem plus mileage and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance;
Committee Chairmen's Honoraria: Same as members.
Res. US Moved by William Kelly
Sec.onded by: Brian Harrisc;ln
THE ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDS
THAT honoraria paid to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Authority be
increased by 3.6% for 1985;
THAT the per diem paid to Members and Committee Chairmen be increased from $48.00
to $50 00 for 1985;
THAT the benefits afforded the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Members continue
without change.
THAT mileage paid to Members be in accordance with the current provincial rate.
AND FURTHER THAT the Sub-Committee study and report back to the Finance and
Administration Advisory Board on the 1986 honoraria for Chairman and
Vice-Chairman.

For information
REVI~~ OF ADVISORY BOARD FUNCTIONS
The Board had requested that staff submit a report to assist in the
Board's discussion of its functions in relation to the Executive Committee and
the Authori ty, in order that the Board can consider recommendations to the
Sub-Committee established by the Executive Committee to evaluate the performance
of the re-organized Authority
In various discussions at the Finance and Administration Advisory Board
meetings, the following concerns with the organization and structure have been
expressed by various members
There is duplication of the Board's function with the Executive Committee
The Board has no power of its own to act
C-32
- 2 -
The Board has no clear terms of reference
There are too many meetings (referring to the Authority as a whole, not the
Finance and Administration Advisory Board.)
The Executive Committee still has all the power
These concerns can be focused on the single question are both the
Executive Committee and the Finance and Administration Advisory Board necessary?
There are some considerations which are basic to the discussion
a) The Conservation Authorities Act makes it very clear that all power to act
rests with either the Authority itself or its Executive Committee if powers
are delegated by the Authority The Act makes no provision of delegation of
power to Advisory Boards The Act provides for the establishment of Advisory
Boards whose sole function is advisory.
b) The organization adopted by the Authority as recommended by the Review
Committee was intended to make the Authority operate as closely to the
municipal system as possible, and was designed for an Authority of 31
members
c) It was recognized that, with the present 53 members, the organization would
be cumbersome
The establishment of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board was not
intended to duplicate the operational responsibilities of the Executive
Committee These, while time-consuming, do not affect pOlicy or funding It was
intended that the Board would function in the same manner as the other two
Advisory Boards, i e as a forum in which programs and policy can be developed
for recommendation to the Authority Because of the nature of Finance and
Administration, there are not as many new initiatives to come before the Board as
there are for Water and Land Conservation proorams There have, however, been
some important matters dealt with - ,
a new purchasing policy .
budget guidelines
banking and insurance
employee benefit package reviews
budget revisions
program performance appraisal
staff training
Because we have adopted the municipal system used in several Metro
municipalities, recommendations made on these matters are forwarded to the
Authority through the Executive Committee If it were decided to have the
Advisory Board recommend directly to the Authority, it would still be desirable
to have an Executive Committee with power to act, as it now does, on operating
matters, viz
regulation administration
direction to staff
purchasing within limits set by the Authority
administering personnel policy
Under the new administrative regulation, the Authority has retained
certain powers formerly delegated to the Executive Committee
property purchases
approving Advisory Board recommendations
budget adjustments
C-33
- 3 -
purchases in excess of $100,000
master plan approvals
adoption of policy reports.
There is only a duplication between the Finance and Administration
Advisory Board and the Executive Committee if the Board perceives itself to have
an operating role with power to act This is not possible because the
Conservation Authorities Act does not provide for it It is possible to have
Advisory Board recommendations go directly to the Authority This does not
negate the need for an Executive Committee. The only thing that could negate the
need for an Executive Committee would be if the Authority felt that it could
effectively deal with the matters now delegated to the Executive Committee
The number of meetings is a matter for concern. All matters dealt with at
the Advisory Boards are reviewed at the Executive Committee and then again at the
Authority Over the past six months, there have been Authority meetings without
many substantive items on the agenda. It is important, however, to not have too
long a time between meetings of the Authority because so many matters which used
to be dealt with by the Executive Committee meeting every two weeks, must now be
approved by the Authority. The present regulation requires the Authority to meet
ten times a year It may be of some help if this number were reduced to eight
and any additional meetings required be at the call of the Chairman
Res ~35 Moved by Mrs Maureen Prinsloo
Seconded by Robert Gillespie
THAT the staff's recommendations, as amended, be submitted to the Sub-Committee
established by the Executive Committee to evaluate the performance of the
re-organized Authority
a) THAT terms of reference for the Finance and Administration Advisory Board be
set up, establishing its role to review and make recommendations with respect
to
budget policy and guidelines
personnel policy
banking and insurance policy
safety and security policy
purchasing policy
performance appraisal
Administrative Regulations and Rules of Conduct of the Authority
b) THAT the Authority, when its membership has been reduced in 1986, continue to
operate on the existing organization system until sufficient time has elapsed
to determine whether the system is effective for a down-sized Authority

19116 PRELIMINARY BUDGET
----
A AUTHORITY PURPOSE, ACHIEVEMl;alTS AIID OBJEC'rlVES
The Metropolitan Toronto anll Region Conservation Aothority adopted a comprehensive Watershed Plan on December 5, 1980, to
establish long-range goals in nine program areas speci fic to the 3467 square kilometres within Aothority jurisdiction The
adoption of the Plan is in compliance with the direction of the Conservation AuthoritieG Act to undertake a program designed
to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources and of the Province of Ontario to
study and investigate the watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources,
a Watershed Plan.
The Watershed Plan has been filed wi th, and concurred in by, the Authority's member municipalites and the Director, Central
Reg ion, Ministry of Natural Resources The Authority, in the Plan, has identified the river valleys, the Lake Ontar io
shoreline and the headwaters of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which
its programs are applied
The Watershed Plan is compr i sed of nine (9 ) interrelated programs
The basic requirement of the Authori ty is to provide protection to human life and property from the hazards of flooding and
erosion The Flood Control Program and three complementary programs, Erosion and Sediment Control, Storm Water Management and
Conservation Land Management, establish the means to accomplish this objective and recognize the relationships between rura)
and urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and floodi ng
Flood Control Program - Provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and the adlninistration of regulatory measures to
maintain flood plains unobstructed to ensure the passage of flood flows
E:rosion and Sediment Control Program - Provides (or corrective works and the administration of regulatory measures to protect
li fe and property
Storm Water Management Program - Establishes a basis for co-operative action by the Authority and its member municipalities
._~- --- with respect to water management problems and the preparation of master drainage plans
Conservation Land Management Program - Promotes conservation qn private and public lands by providing reforestation, habitat
improvement, stream improvement and a conservation planning service
~and Acquisition Program - Prov ides for the acquisition of flood plain and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally
significant lands to ensure proper conservation land management The hectares of land acquired by the Authority are
be i ng managed to achieve the objectives of the Watershed Plan
Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program - This program has two components, Shoreline Management to reduce the hazards of
flood i ng and erosion at the land/lake interface, and Development to CrBrltA water-oriented recreation opportunities
85 09 12
Page 1-2
Watershed Recreation Program - Enables the development and operations of recreation areas for puhlic use and enjoyment, a
valuable ancillary benefit on conservation lands
Heritage Conservation Program - Recognizes the special contribution that an historical perspective gives to the understanding
of resource management
Community Relations Program - Establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate with the commun i ty in order to gain
understanding and acceptance of its conservation programs.
B FORMAT OF PRESENTATIOtl
The 1986 Budget is based on the same program management format as in recent years The format is designed to ident i fy more
clearly the programs adopted by the Authority in its Watershed Plan In addition, the estimates are organized into management
units to more clearly identify and manage the Authority programs. The principles of program budget management have been used
to develop the Budget

SCHEDULE "e"
TO: The Chairman and Members of the Finance and Administration
Advisory Board
Meeting #6/85
FROM A.C. Deans, Planning & Policy Coordinator
RE: M.T.R.C.A. CONVENTION/CONFERENCE POLICY
At its Meeting #4/85, held July 19, 1985, the Board requested the
preparation of a "report on a suggested convention policy" The
current practice of the Authority is identified in Personnel Policy
A-lO "Travel Expenses" which is attached for your information Monies
are included in each Division's budget to cove~ anticipated
convention/conference attendance as well as staff development and
training expenses Any request for attendance must be approved by the
General Manager and the General Manager's attendance must be approved
by the Executive Committee. No individual annual per person limit has
been established and the fair and equitable distribution of annual
funds has been at the discretion oF. the Division Director to recommend
to the General Manager. No specific policies or procedures apply to
Authority members except that Executive Committee approval is
required
In order to determine the practice of other relevant public bodies, a
survey of "Convention/Conference Allowances and Expenses" was
undertaken. Attached are the results of this survey, for reference
a) Annual Allowance
The majority of sources sampled do not establish an annual
per person limit for attendance at conventions/conferences
but, as with the Authority, each department/committee
includes an amount in its annual budget and approves
expenditures to ensure an equitable distribution.
RECm1MENDATIONS
IT IS RECOMMENDED TSAT the Authority not establish a per person annual
financial limit fo~ attendance at conventions/conferences; and
THAT the annual b~dget continue to be the method by which monies are
provided for such uses ~ubject to the necessary authorizations
b) Per Diem Allowance
Each of the sources sampled has an established per diem
allowanca ranging from 526 75 (meals only) to 575 00 The
Authority's policy does not establish a per diem rate
but allows "reimbursement for expenses" referred to :\s
"reasonable" All expense statements must be approved by
an employee's Supervisor who is responsible for ensuring
only allowable items are declared and that the amounts
expended are "reasonable"
Where per diem allowances are provided in lieu of requiring
documentation of actual expendi~ures, in certain instances
when actual expenditures exceed the daily allowance, these
are permitted if supported by receipts. It would seem that
the practice of requiring receipts for expenditures would
be a more valid method of controlling expenditures than
establishing a specific daily allocation
RECOMMENDATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Authority's current Personnel Policy ;-10
continue as the guideline for reimbursement of expense requests related
to staff convention/conference attendance and that item (2 ) of the
C-49
- 2 -
policy be amended to add "meals" to the list of required receipts to
read
"Expense claims shall be supported by receipts for ~,
accommodation, transportation (i.e. air, bus, or train fare)
and registration fees, when applicable"
c) Accommodation
The sources sampled generally refer to accommodation expenses
being "at the single room rate, at the convention headquarters or.
equivalent" This has been the practice of the Authority although
it is not stated in the Personnel Policy
RECOMMENDATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT a section be added to Personnel Policy A-lO
stating that accommodation will be paid "at the single room rate in the
convention/conference headquarters or equivalent"
d) Transportation
All sources sampled pay economy air fare and have established
mileage rates for those using personal vehicles Some
variation occurs in payment for rail transportation
including no indication of a rate, presumably because
this form of transportation is not frequently used
It would appear adequate to provide for travel to
conferences/conventions at the lowest available rail or
air fare or at the current rate for privately-owned vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT Personnel Policy A-IO be amenoed to ado a
section stating that
"Air or rail transportation expenses will be paid at the
lowest available fare and the use of a personal vehicle may
be allowed provided that the total metrage charge is no
greater than the fare for the most economical type of
public conveyance"
e) Authoritv ~embers
The Authority's "Personnel Manual" properly addresses only
I matters related to staff compensation, benefits and
responsibilities of employment The practice of other
organizations with regard to Council and Committee members is
to have a Council policy referencing attendance at
"Conventions/Conferences" which generally reflects those
conditions applicable to staff
RECOMMENDATIONS
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Authority's Personnel Manual continue to
address only those matters related to staff compensation, benefits and
responsibilities of employment: and
TH~T, t considering requests for Authority member attendance at
convent ons/conferences, the same principles as established for staff
be appl ed

FOR CONSIDERATION
COMPLEMENT POSITION, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SECTION
Within the Resource Management Section of the Water Resource Division, there i3
one full-time labourer position. With the expansion of the resource management
program and the corresponding increase in seasonal staff over the past five
years, the position of labourer has been =equired to function at the lead hand
level, providing supervision and training to seasonal work crews Although the
incumbent has been working at the lead hand level since 198 3, this has not been
formally recognized in job title or salary level
Since it is now apparent that the position will continue to be required as a
supervisory one, approval is sought to create a lead hand complement position and
to eliminate the position of labourer

OPTIONAL EMPLOYEE TERM LIFE I NSURANC E
Under the current employee benefit package, all full-time employees are provided,
at no cost to the employee, term life insurance coverage at an amount equal to
two times the employee's salary, such amount not to exceed $100,000
Staff has investigated, with the assistance of Reed Stenhouse, our benefits
consultants, an opportunity for employees to augment this coverage at their own
expense and strictly on a voluntary basis.
Thirteen insurance underwriters were asked for quotations and of the seven who
responded, staff is prepared to recommend Maritime Life Assurance Company, basing
its decision on ease of enrolment, available options, ease of administration and
competi ti ve rates (Maritime Life's quotation came in third lowest at $0 393 per
month per each $1,000 of additional insurance, while Great West Life was second
at $0 378 and Seabord Trust lowest at $0 360 ) Maritime Life is the current
carrier of the employees' term life insurance coverage
There are no set-up or group policy fees to either the employee or employer The
employer's responsibility is for payroll deduction of premiums and remittance of
same to the underwriter on a monthly basis.

CanIrents
Conservation Services - the underexpenditure is mainly in the areas of stream improvement and fish management. Special funding frail the Province of
Ontario has not been made available ~
Erosion Control - the underexpenditure is due to delays with envirormental assessment and property title Oajotiations in the Bellamy Road project.
Flood Control - the underexpendi ture is mainly due to the Fooeral Mapping Program (EmP). 'lhe agreallent has been delayed and it would be too late to
canplete the project by the year end
Revenue - it is canp::isErl of landfill revenue fran Sam Snith and fran the operations of Tree Planting and Forest Management The increase is all
attributoo to tree planting and forest management
Other FundiO::J - the shortfall is due to a) special funding fran the Province of Ontario for conservation services not beirg available; b) FWP mapping
program is not expecte::l to be canpleted this year, therefore full funding will not be available fran the Federal Governnent

Reverue - the projected shortfall is attributable to the Kortright Centre ($35,000) and the Conservation Areas ($68,000), due to atteOOiince not being up at
the bud<J2t level. t1o~lever, revenue at the Kortright Centre is projecte:l at $240,000, 6% over 1984 actual, and the Conservation Areas is
projected at $1,133,000, 4% over 1984 actual The increase is mainly a result of price adjustment in user fees
Attelrlance - the Kortright Centre attendance is down slightly fran 1984. This is due to a canbination of a 23% increase atteOOiince in the group (school)
programs and a 20% decrease in attendance in the general or public programs
- the Conservation Areas attendance is down 7% from 1984 due mainly to less than desirable weather on some weekends.
