BACKGROUND Budget Process The Authority's 1991 budget process began in June of 1990, when budget guidelines were approved and Authority staff began 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 municipalities 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 February with member municipalities and the Ministry. The Authority's budget process is further complicated by the fact that Ministry funding is distributed amongst several different programs under which various rules apply. In effect, the Authority is restricted as to how money in various "pockets" can be spent. The process of matching grant money in various pockets to municipal levy and other revenue, for both capital and current purposes, has become increasingly complicated. In 1989, the Authority entered into new funding arrangements with the municipal funding partners. These arrargements involve a different calculation of municipal levy distribution and, to ensure equity, requires the application of a special allocation from the Authority's reserve. All of which serves to complicate the Authority's ability to set priorities and allocate expenditures among areas in which the greatest need has been identified. As of March 14, 1991, the Province had not announced Conservation Authority grants for 1991. The 1991 Budget has been created assuming a 4% increase in Ministry of Natural Resources program administration grants. The Authority will be advised of adjustments to the budget and any action necessary when grants are announced. ANALYSIS Your attention is drawn to the General Manager's Comments section contained in the 1991 Budget document. SUMMARY The 1991 Operating Budget provides for an overall increase in gross expenditure of less than inflation. By reorienting priorities, the 1991 budget still encompasses a major commitment to the Greenspace Strategy. The net expenditure increase funded by municipal levy and grant is significant because 1990 was a poor year for Authority revenues. In spite of this, the Authority will be able to mair. ,'ain services in most areas with modest adjustments to service levels in key areas. A -43 AUTHORITY MEETING 12/91. HELD MARCH 22. 1991 30.

PROJECT FOR THE EXTENSION OF THE GLEN MAJOR FOREST AND WILDLIFE AREA - FEBRUARY, 1991 - Report of Sub - Committee to explore funding alternatives for the purchase of the James Walker Holdings in the Town of Uxbridge ON A RECORDED VOTE YEA NAY Patrick Abtan Brian Harrison Margaret Britnell Peter Oyler William Granger Lois Griffin Lois Hancey, Don Jackson Lorna Jackson Blake Kinahan Frank McKechnie Marie Muir Richard O'Brien Donna Patterson Maja Prentice Al Ruggero Bev Salmon Joyce Trimmer Jim Witty Contd. THE MAIN MOTION WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board, in considering the Walker Property Project for recommendation to the Authority, felt that the normal funding arrangements for such a project should be explored to see if there was a more equitable way of sharing the municipal costs and to determine other sources of funding. For this reason, it was recommended that the Chairman of the Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board establish a sub - committee to review the funding arrangements included in the project. The Chairman of the Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board and his sub - committee met on March 8, 1991, with officials of the Regional Municipality of Durham and, as a result of that meeting, the sub - committee is recommending that we vary from the equalized assessment approach to the municipal share of the project by increasing the proposed Regional Municipality of Durham's share from $31,390 to $225,000. The remaining municipal share would be apportioned amongst the other municipalities based on equalized assessment over the second and third years of the project. This has the effect of adjusting the other municipal shares as follows: AUTHORITY MEETING #2/91, HELD MARCH 22, 1991 30.

A -45 The sub - committee has also suggested to staff that the federal government be approached to assist the Authority in the funding of this acquisition by waiving certain taxes such as the Goods and Services Tax, and investigating the possibility of grants being paid to the Authority from income tax revenue obtained in connection with this property. As well, as was indicated in the project, donations from appropriate foundations will also be sought. These initiatives will be undertaken, and prior to the 1992 budget cycle, could result in a substantial reduction in the municipal requirement for funding. The levy figures in the schedule of apportionment, therefore, should be considered as the maximum amounts required from the municipalities. RATIONALE In making this recommendation, the sub - committee believes that the principle that all member municipalities of the Authority share in the benefits of a major environmental protection project, such as the Glen Major Extension Project, is valid and should be adhered to. By its location, forming part of the headwaters of the Duffins Creek and its protection having such a bearing on the quality of the headwater area of the Duffins Creek, there are significant benefits which accrue to the community in the immediate environs of the project and, therefore, an enriched contribution from the Regional Municipality of Durham is supportable. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS By substantially increasing the share apportioned to the Regional Municipality of Durham, the cost to the other member municipalities is substantially reduced.

PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE CANADA POST PROPERTY -1400 Lakeshore Road East. Mississauga (con't) THAT Authority officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to complete the transaction including the execution of any necessary documents; THAT upon closing of the transaction, staff be directed to coordinate a detailed planning study of the property with the involvement of Metropolitan Toronto, the Region of Peel, the City of Mississauga, the City of Etobicoke, The Province of Ontario and such individuals and groups who have an interest in the site; THAT staff be directed to report to the Authority upon completion of the study with respect to the proposed plan and the recommended arrangements for development, operation and maintenance of the site; CARRIED BACKGROUND Subsequent to the information provided to the members of the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board on April 12,1991, the following is the current status with respect to the acquisition of the subject property. Meetings and discussions have been conducted virtually daily during the past three weeks with respect to the subject property. The negotiations include staff of the Authority, the Authority's solicitor, staff of the City of Mississauga, staff of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, staff and solicitors representing Canada Post Corporation, The Special Advisor to the Premier on the Lake Ontario Waterfront and representatives of the owners of another large industrial property in the Greater Toronto area. The purchase of the other industrial property is required to provide Canada Post Corporation a replacement industrial property. This rather complex but beneficial process was arrived at as a method of mediating the major differences with respect to the estimated value of the Canada Post Property resulting from differences of opinion as to the highest and best. The potential development of the property for a high density residential use, as proposed in the detailed planning study prepared by John Bousfield Associates Ltd. for Canada Post, was in substantial contrast to continuance of the current industrial use as proposed by the Authority and the City of Mississauga. In order to achieve the purchase of the replacement industrial property which is currently available on the open market, it has now been concluded that the purchase of Canada Post Property must be completed in 1991. The compensation for the purchase of the Canada Post Property will include an amount equal to the total amount required for purchase of the replacement property, together with a reasonable amount to provide for retrofitting the building to be suitable for postal service uses and relocation costs. In order to make the replacement site suitable for Canada Post . Corporation's long term requirements, it is essential that the new site have the potential for major expansion which option was available at the Lakeshore site. A small tributary of a watercourse currently bisects the A -64 AUTHORITY MEETING #3/91. HELD MAY 3. 1991 23. PROJECT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE CANADA POST PROPERTY -1400 Lakeshore Road East. Mississauga (con't) undeveloped eastern portion of the property flowing north to south. As the watercourse exits the property, it enters a piped system for most of its remaining length. The watercourse is not covered by a fill regulation because of the small upstream drainage area. It has been altered substantially in the past and can be significantly improved through realignment and landscaping. Staff is of the opinion, in principle, that mitigation work can be carried out with respect to alterations to the creek to accommodate a major expansion of the building. Canada Post will, however, be required to submit the required detailed drawings to obtain the appropriate approval under Ontario Regulation 293/86. A preliminary review of the Environmental Reports for the Lakeshore Canada Post Corporation site prepared by Trow, Dames and Moore, has now been completed by the firm Raven Beck on behalf of the Authority. While it is too early to provide a final conclusive determination as to the environmental conditions of the property, it appears that there are no major environmental concerns. Authority staff proposes that an independent environmental audit be undertaken immediately to confirm the condition of the property and provide a cost estimate for any remediation work which may be required. The purchase agreement provides a period to June 30,1991 for the Authority to confirm that the site condition is acceptable. While it is indeed preferable that final documentation be executed prior to the Authority members being required to approve a purchase of this magnitude, it is essential because of the availability of the other suitable industrial property, that this matter be dealt with at this time. Staff of the Authority, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, The City of Mississauga, and the Provincial Government are reasonably satisfied that suitable arrangements can be concluded with officials of Canada Post Corporation and substantially within the confines of the project as attached and reported herein. It is anticipated that the closing dates of the transactions will occur during October, 1991 with Canada Post Corporation fully vacating the Lakeshore site by no later than March 31, 1992.

CARRIED BACKGROUND After several informal discussions with MTRCA staff, Ontario Hydro sent a letter dated May 6, 1991, to Jim Tucker in our Water Resource Division. The letter requests the assistance of the MTRCA in the design and construction of erosion control works to protect the Ontario Hydro Gatineau transmission line, which crosses the East Branch of the Don River just south of Eglinton Avenue in the City of North York. The Gatineau transmission line right -of -way is also located in the Charles Sauriol Reserve.

We also see this as an opportunity to design and construct the erosion control works in accordance with the goals for the Charles Sauriol Reserve. Therefore, we are recommending the MTRCA undertake the design and construction of the erosion control works on behalf of Ontario Hydro. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Together with the design and construction, the MTRCA will carry out an environmental inventory. Ontario Hydro right -of -way maintenance is exempt under the Environmental Assessment Act. FINANCIAL DETAILS The construction costs will be estimated on a time and material basis.

ABHBRIDGE'S BAY WATERFRONT PARK - Assignment of Lease - Scouts Canada to Beaches Lions Club of Toronto KEY ISSUE Scouts Canada wishes to discontinue its use of a portion of the North Ashbridge's Bay Boating Federation and assign the lease to the Beaches Lions Club of Toronto.

BACKGROUND The Management Agreement between Metropolitan Toronto and MTRCA regarding waterfront development, as well as the three party leases for all boating facilities, require MTRCA approval of any sub - leases or assignment of leases. Metropolitan Toronto Council, at its meeting of July 3, 1991, gave approval to the assignment of the above noted lease subject to Authority approval. The following excerpt from the report by the Commissioner of Parks and Property outlines the background for this request: "Metropolitan Council, by adoption of Clause No. 4, Report No. 6 of The Metropolitan Executive Committee on March 1, 1985, approved of the Assignment of the Lease of certain lands, for boating purposes, at Ashbridge's Bay Park, to the Provincial Council, a corporation incorporated to hold lands on behalf of the Boy Scouts. This Lease, like all other Leases with all other boat clubs, expires on July 31, 2005. Under the terms of that Agreement, the Boy Scouts and the Provincial Council were authorized to demolish the old clubhouse structure and to construct a new facility, at their own expense and without cost to the Metropolitan Corporation. This new facility was subsequently constructed and has been used by the Boy Scouts as part of their water safety program. They have now reached a conclusion, however, that, from an environmental and cost perspective, the program should be relocated to another permanent location outside of Metropolitan Toronto. Over the years, the Beaches Lions Club of Toronto has expressed an interest in purchasing this facility for the purposes of general community use.... The Boy Scouts and the Beaches Lions Club of Toronto have reached an agreement for compensation, in the amount of $135,000.00, for the structure and for the continued use of the facility by Independent Scout Troops who will be accommodated in priority to all other user groups."

Res. #178 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: William Granger THAT staff be directed to submit a request for an exemption under the Environmental Assessment Act for the public open space and related facilities associated with the proposed redevelopment of the Motel Strip in the City of Etobicoke. BACKGROUND At Meeting # 6/90 of the Authority, the Project for Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park was adopted. The document describing the Project contains a section on the considerations associated with the Environmental Assessment Act and includes the following statement: "The development of the Authority's project is based on the premise that the Public Amenity Scheme will proceed in accordance with the Minister of the Environment's letters of May 8, 1989 and June 12, 1990 and will not be subject to an environmental assessment." While the Motel Strip redevelopment is a complex and controversial subject, there is an emerging consensus that the Authority should be the implementing agency for the open space and related facilities as proposed by the Authority's Project. Staff has been advised that the Project will be considered for approval by the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario in the near future as part of the preparations for the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing scheduled for October 1, 1991. Evidence to be used at the Board Hearing is to be submitted by August 16, 1991 RATIONALE An exemption under the Environmental Assessment Act is warranted for several reasons. The proposed development will enhance the environment by restoring the shoreline, creating aquatic habitat, treating storm sewer water and providing safe public access. The project has already been the subject of extensive study and public input through the preparation of an Environmental Management Master Plan which will be implemented through the Authority's Project and the Official Plan Amendment. There is a strong desire to have the public facilities in place before development takes place. As a result, there is an urgency to get the open space elements in place.

REPORT OF MEETING #1/91 OP THE EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARDS SUB- COMMITTEE KEY I88UE Recommendations for the granting of 1991 Suggestion Awards to employees, approved by the Executive Committee. Res. #241 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THAT an award of $100 be granted to the staff of Albion Hills Conservation Area for their design and construction of a unique recycling unit; THAT an award of $50 be granted to Gord Kendall, Assistant Superintendent of Heart Lake Conservation Area for his suggestion that our greenspace slogan "Working Together for Tomorrow's Greenspace" be affixed to our signs and vehicles; THAT an award of $50 be granted to Paula Leggieri, Secretary, Field Operations Division, for her suggestion that the Authority develop a "Learn the Basics of Fishing" workshop; THAT the award recipients be invited to Authority Meeting #8/91 to be held on November 29, 1991, to receive their awards; AND FURTHER THAT the Employee Suggestion Award Sub - Committee change its annual meeting date from November to October. BACKGROUND CARRIED The Employee Suggestion Award Sub - Committee met on November 15, 1991, to consider 15 suggestions received during the last twelve months. RATIONALE The full -time staff group at Albion Hills Conservation Area collectively designed and constructed unique recycling units. Each wooden unit has six compartments to hold standard blue boxes. Each compartment is covered by a A -142 AUTHORITY MEETING #8/91. HELD NOVEMBER 29. 1991 1. REPORT OF MEETING 11/91 OF THE EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARDS SUB- COMMITTEE (contd.) spring loaded flap for safety and access control. The units are clearly marked - cans, bottles, clear glass, coloured glass and plastic. Since the implementation of the design, several other conservation areas have copied the idea. Gord Kendall of Heart Lake Conservation Area suggested that the Authority broaden its use of our greenspace slogan "Working Together for Tomorrow's Greenspace" by adding the slogan to our signs, affixing it to our vehicles and perhaps, using it in horticultural planting displays. The Indian Line Campground sign will be the first to have the greenspace slogan added to it. Paula Leggieri of the Field Operations Division suggested that the Authority develop a "Learn the Basics of Fishing" program to educate the public and to enhance our commitment to good fisheries management practices. The sub - committee is also recommending that their annual meeting date be changed from November to October. In 1989, the Authority approved a resolution that Employee Suggestions Awards be presented at Authority rather than Executive Committee meetings. This has made the timing of Executive approval difficult. By changing the Sub - Committee's Annual meeting date to October, the sub- Committee's recommendations can flow properly through the approval process. PRESENTATION OF EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARDS Lois Hancey, Chairman of the Employee Suggestion Awards Sub - Committee, and John McGinnis, Chairman of the Authority, presented awards,to: The staff of Albion Hills Conservation Area; Gord Kendall, Assistant Superintendent, Heart Lake Conservation Area; Paula Leggieri, Secretary, Field Operations Division. 2. CLEAN UP RURAL BEACHES PROGRAM AGREEMENT KEY I88UE The Ministry of Environment has requested that the Authority enter into a multi -year agreement to facilitate the Clean Up Rural Beaches Program. Res. #242 Moved by: Nancy Porteous - Koehle Seconded by: William Granger THAT the Authority enter into a five year agreement with the Ministry of Environment to implement the Clean Up Rural Beaches Program to improve water quality within The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority watersheds; THAT the Authority's participation in the program be subject to annual review as part of the Authority's budget process and where funding is available, staff be directed to renew annually the Authority's participation in the program; A -143 AUTHORITY MEETING /8/91. HELD NOVEMBER 29. 1991 2. CLEAN UP RURAL BEACHES PROGRAM AGREEMENT (contd.) THAT in the event the Authority experiences an escalation of labour costs because of a successful claim arising out of the application of the Successor Rights (Crown Transfers) Act to the services related to the Clean Up Rural Beaches Program, the Ministry of Environment agrees that the Authority will be eligible to apply for additional funds to offset such cost escalation due solely to the application of the Act to these services; THAT the foregoing conditions and clauses shall form a part of the agreement and that the Ministry be so advised; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the agreement including the execution of any necessary documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting 15/91, held on July 26th, 1991, the Authority adopted Resolution /157 which reads as follows: That staff be directed to enter into an agreement with the Ministry of Environment on an annual basis to implement the CURB program to improve water quality within the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority watershed. The agreement which the Ministry of Environment has requested the Authority to enter into includes provision for a five -year term with declining Ministry of Environment participation. Year one, which would be the period to March 31, 1992, would include funding at 100% by the Ministry of Environment. Year two, being the period April 1, 1992, to March 31, 1993, would include 75% funding from M.O.E. and 25% from the Authority. Staff of the Water Resources Division believe that the necessary 25% funding will be available as part of the 1992 budget. In years three, four, and five, funding would be on a 50 -50 shared basis. ANALYSIS Because the agreement that the Ministry of Environment has requested the Authority to enter into extends beyond one year, approval of the Authority is required. The agreement makes no provision for the Authority to opt out of the program in the event that the matching funding is not available. Accordingly, the recommendations above which would form part of the agreement ensure that the Authority's participation will only occur if, as part of the annual budget process, there is sufficient funding to enable the Authority to participate. The second issue of concern is the application of the Successor Rights (Crown Transfers) Act. Because this program has never been undertaken by Ministry of Environment staff, it is unlikely that there would be an application of the Act. However, to protect the Authority, we are insisting that a clause recognizing that we will need protection be included. This type of clause is now standard in most of our agreements with the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Staff of the Water Resources Division support this program and wish to see it continued in future years. The clauses outlined in the recommendation above will serve to give the Authority sufficient flexibility and protection in the event that funding constraints are required. A -144 AUTHORITY MEETING 18191, HELD NOVEMBER 29, 1991 3. DEMOLITION OF THE FORMER DOMTAR INC. BUILDINGS - Borough of East York. Don River Watershed KEY ISSUE Demolition of the former Domtar Inc. buildings situate in the flood plain of the Don River.

CARRIED BACKGROUND The Domtar Inc. property in the Borough of East York in The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was acquired by the Authority in December, 1989. Situate on the property is a large industrial building and smaller storage building formerly utilized as a paper mill containing approximately 100,000 square feet. Virtually the entire holding is situate within the flood plain of the Don River. At the tender opening sub - committee meeting held on November 15, 1991, the following quotations for demolition and removal of the buildings and structures situate on the former Domtar Inc. property were received: Vic Priestly Contracting Ltd. Greenspoon Bros. Limited Delsan Demolition Limited Teperman & Sons Inc. $198,806.00 $206,510.00 $209,195.00 $341,998.75 A small section of the main building will be temporarily retained for use in treatment of contaminated soil in 1992. The soil to be treated is from the former Domtar Inc. and Polyresins Inc. properties. RATIONALE A thorough review of the quotations has been carried out by Authority staff and it is recommended that the quotation submitted by Vic Priestly Contracting Ltd., which is the lowest price, be accepted. Vic Priestly Contracting Ltd. has done a number of demolitions for the Authority and all work has been done on a very satisfactory basis. The contractor's proposal includes a comprehensive approach to recycling. FINANCIAL DETAILS It is proposed that, subject to approval of the Province of Ontario, the funding for this demolition be from land sale revenue currently at hand.

MICRO COMPUTER HARDWARE AND NETWORKING SYSTEM -Award of contract KEY ISSUE This report recommends the award of a contract for the supply of Micro Computer Hardware and a Networking System. See Tender Opening Sub - Committee Report 110B/91, appendix TO.36. Res. 1244 Moved by: Seconded by: Don Jackson Patrick Abtan THAT the Authority award the contract for the supply of a local area networking system and computer workstations to Dynasty Computers, it being the lowest tender received which meets the Authority's specifications; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting 113/91, held on November 15, 1991, tenders were opened for the supply of Micro Computer Hardware and a local area Networking System. Tender documents were sent to ten companies. Six companies responded, one of whom was unable to quote. ANALYSIS The five companies who submitted tenders were evaluated in terms of their ability to meet the specifications, and the unit prices submitted. All of the companies bidding had an opportunity to meet with staff of the Authority at a bidders information session held at the Authority offices. A summary of the unit bids was completed. Copies of the detailed specifications are available should any member wish to receive them. The company, Dynasty Computers and Supplies provided the lowest bid meeting the Authority's detailed specifications in all categories. In recommending the award of the contract to Dynasty Computers and Supplies, staff of the Authority have considered the following information about Dynasty: - the company started in 1978 and has been involved in computer sales since 1983; - the company is a Novell Authorized Reseller (since 1988); - the company has excellent experience and has installed over 35 Novell Networks of various sizes; - Dynasty has been a supplier of hardware to the Authority for about 2 years and has provided excellent support; - the Dynasty product is a "clone" however staff is satisfied that the components used to produce the Dynasty Computer products are broadly supported and accepted as standard in the computer industry; - Dynasty offers an on -site warranty for no extra charge and covers parts and labour for one year. The selection of the Novell Netware 3.11 is a safe selection for the Authority, since this is a proven product which is widely used in the computer industry.

TOMMY TUOMP$ON PARK - PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE ON A RECORDED VOTE: Ira NEY Patrick Abtan William Granger Frank Andrews Lois Griffin Margaret Britnell Lois Hancey Brian Harrison Emil Kolb Don Jackson John McGinnis Lorna Jackson Ron Moran Frank McKechnie Howard Moscoe Richard O'Brien Marie Muir Nancy Porteous - Koehle Donna Patterson Maja Prentice Al Ruggero Joyce Trimmer Kip Van Kempen Jim Witty (contd.) THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MOTION TO REFER, AS AMENDED WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND Since 1985, the MTRCA has paid for a public transportation service at Tommy Thompson Park under the annual Interim Management Program. This service has included the provision of a special summer bus service to and within the Park on weekends and holidays from June 1 to Labour Day, and has been expanded to include two shuttle vans that operate within the Park during public hours for one month preceding and one month following the bus service. In July of 1989, under the direction of the Authority, staff submitted the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan for approval under the Environmental Assessment Act. This plan incorporates the potential for an internal park transit system linked to an extension of the current T.T.C. transit service in this area of Metro Toronto. The Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board is recommending to the Authority that the 1992 Interim Management Program for Tommy Thompson Park be approved. Included in this program is a bus service similar to that operated in the past nine years. The Authority, in considering the 1991 Interim Management Report for Tommy Thompson Park at Meeting 18/91 on November 29, 1991, adopted the following resolution: Res. 1248 "THAT staff report back on the complete cost and need of public transportation at Tommy Thompson Park at Authority Meeting 19/91, to be held on January 10, 1991." In this regard staff have prepared the attached report outlining the need for a public transportation service at Tommy Thompson Park and the total operating cost to the Authority. Staff also examined several options for cost recovery and alternate transportation service as follows: Cost Recovery Through Fares was examined, however, it was found that an excessive fare would be required to recover all costs, and that a resulting decrease in ridership would limit any revenues that could be applied to the total operating costs. This option would negatively impact approximately 85% of the public (3213 riders, 1991) using this service. A -164 AUTHORITY MEETING #9/91, HELD JANUARY 10, 1992 1. TOMMY THOMPSON PARK - PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (contd.) Charaina a minimal or subsidized fare was examined, however, this option would only offset an additional administration charge that would be levied by the T.T.C. A decrease in ridership could also be expected and would again reduce any revenue that could be recovered. This option would negatively impact approximately 85% of the public (3213 riders, 1991) using this service. Operation of a Van Service in place of the summer bus could be undertaken with a reduction of operating costs of approximately $3,000.00. This option would provide the needed transportation within Tommy Thompson Park but fails to link with the Metro Transit Service and in this respect would impact on approximately 15% of the public (567 riders, 1991) using this service. RATIONALE Staff is recommending that the present system of providing a free transportation service at Tommy Thompson Park be continued in 1992 for the following reasons: - The transportation service facilitates access to the Park by providing the needed link to the existing Metro Transit System. Many Park user groups depend on the service to enhance their use of the site by providing them with easier access to the features and amenities that are located a considerable distance from the main gates. - The transportation service has facilitated use of the Park by individuals who could not otherwise enjoy the site because of the distances to and within the site. This includes senior citizens, and families with young children. The bus service has been incorporated into the Park's summer interpretive program by providing an environment for informal bus presentations by the Naturalist and providing the public with transportation to the starting point of the walks inside the park. There is not adequate time to allow public comment and input concerning a change to the Interim Management Program of this magnitude. In order to operate a similar bus service to Tommy Thompson Park, staff must initiate a request to the T.T.C. through the City of Toronto by the end of January, 1992. The long term issue of public transportation has been considered as part of the implementation of the Tommy Thompson Park Master Plan. This service has been considered as part of the budget analysis process and is ranked high enough to receive funding in 1992. A -165 AUTHORITY MEETING 19/91, HELD JANUARY 10, 1992 2. AMENDMENT TO RULES OF CONDUCT OF THE AUTHORITY KEY ISSUE To amend the Rules of Conduct of the Authority to give effect to Resolution 1208 adopted at Meeting 17/91 of the Authority, dealing with the recommendations of the Evaluation and Review Committee, in respect of the functioning of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board and the Executive Committee.

THE AMENDMENT WAS CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority, at its meeting 07/91 held October 18, 1991, adopted a report of the Evaluation and Review Committee (amended to delete a recommendation in respect of delegations being heard only at Executive Committee meetings) recommending that the duplication that existed between the roles of the Finance and Administration Advisory Board and the Executive Committee be eliminated by: . narrowing the role of the Finance and financial issues; . have the committee report directly to . have the Executive Committee continue purchasing, personnel, legal services Administration Committee to the Authority; to deal with regulations, and property. Attached are the effected sections of the Rules of Conduct of the Authority. The report also recommended more frequent meetings of the whole Authority. This has been provided for in the schedule of meetings adopted for 1992. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There will be a modest increase in expenses resulting from more frequent meetings of the Authority. This will be partially offset by fewer meetings of the Executive Committee. A -167 AUTHORITY MEETING 19/91, HELD JANUARY 10, 1992 3.

A -175 ?UTBORITY MEETING 19/91, HELD JANUARY 10. 1992 1S. POTENTIAL DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue The City of Vaughan (contd.) The availability of the property was duly advertised in major and local newspapers in the area. Submissions of "Expression of Interest" together with appropriate deposits have been received from: (1) John Pianosi 4580 Fieldgate Drive, Unit 122, Mississauga, Ontario, L4W 3W6 (2) Nor -Arm Developments Inc. 1280 Finch Avenue, West, Suite 710, Downsview, Ontario, M3J 3K6 (3) The Sorbara Group 3700 Steeles Avenue, West, Suite 800, Woodbridge, Ontario, L4L 8M9 For the information of the Members analysis, copies of relevant portions of the submissions received with additional correspondence received from the proponents are in the enclosed confidential envelopes. Since receipt of the proposals on November 14, 1991, staff have met with representatives of each of the proponents. Meetings involving senior staff have been held to analyze the information received and propose further action. The following points have been considered by staff in making the recommendation. (1) None of the proposals currently at hand provide the Authority with a reasonable basis of compensation for the surplus Authority - owned land. (2) Certain of the proponents along with others who have contacted the Authority since the closing date for submissions, appear willing to continue discussions to explore creative methods of arriving at potentially advantageous arrangements for the Authority. (3) The Authority received an unsolicited offer for the sale of the 4.3 acres of surplus Authority -owned land at the North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue on March 31, 1989 at an amount of $3,977,500. (4) Real Estate Markets are currently depressed, and there is no way of predicting when prices will escalate. (5) Extensive major maintenance and repairs are required to be carried out to the existing Administrative Headquarters. (6) The disposition of the parcel at the North East Corner of Jane Strut and Steeles Avenue would appear to be the most likely funding option available to the Authority to finance the required upgrading of the existing Adminstration Headquarters. The Province of Ontario has on at least two occasions, allowed other Conservation Authorities to utilize Revenue Sharing Funds to provide Administrative Headquarters Facilities. A -176 AUTHORITY MEETING 09/91, HELD JANUARY 10. 1992 15. POTENTIAL DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue The City of Vaughan Ccontd.) (7) The upgrading and extension of the existing Head Office building appears to represent the most cost effective and acceptable method of dealing with the Authority's current and future Administration Headquarters requirements. (8) The carrying out of construction at this time would create needed jobs and could be carried out at less cost than when construction and Real Estate activities escalate. (9) The existing site allows unlimited parking with the opportunity of joint use of staff and facilities with Black Creek Pioneer Village. (10) Under the provisions of the Conservation Authorities Act, land owned by an Authority is taxable while works erected by an Authority for the purposes of a project are not taxable. The existing Head Office Building is not taxable. (11) Discussions with officials of the Province of Ontario indicate that we may now have enough information at hand as a result of work carried out on this project over the past several months to launch an application with a reasonable chance of having the subject land removed from the Parkway Belt. At Executive Committee Meting 114/91, the following resolution was adopted. KEY ISSUE Receipt of submissions of "Expression of Interest" concerning the potential disposal of surplus Authority land.
