Staff of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department are in concurrence with this proposal. Please note that Metro Parks and Property have indicated that they may, at some future date, construct a formal pathway at this location, subject to the exchange being finalized which would result in a permit under Ontario Regulation 158 being brought forward.

TEPERMAN AND SONS INC. CANADA POST DEMOLITION -Legal Action KEY ISSUE This report advises on the proposed action to be taken by the Authority against Teperman and Sons Inc. as a result of breach of contract in the matter of the demolition of the Canada Post buildings. Res. #E7/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THAT staff and the Authority's solicitors, Gardiner, Roberts, be directed to attempt to negotiate a settlement acceptable to the Authority in the matter of Teperman and Sons Inc. failure to meet its contractual obligations and, in the event a negotiated settlement is not possible, staff and the Authority's solicitors, Gardiner, Roberts, be directed to commence an action against Teperman and Sons Inc. for damages on behalf of the Authority, or, in the alternative, seek a satisfactory resolution under the Arbitrations Act; AND FURTHER THAT staff report to the Executive Committee prior to acceptance of any negotiated settlement. CARRIED BACKGROUND Teperman and Sons Inc. responded to a request for quotation for the demolition of buildings and structures at 1400 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga, bid dated December 1 st, 1994. MTRCA accepted Teperman's quotation in writing dated December 19th, 1994. Teperman refused or neglected to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract. On January 13th, 1995, Teperman was given notice of default and ten days to remedy the default.

Staff has directed the Authority's solicitors, Gardiner, Roberts, to write to Teperman requesting payment of additional expenses incurred by the Authority relating to the delay in commencing the work totalling -$25,000 and the difference of $43,228 between the Teperman bid and the next lowest bidder, Delsan, the company which is presently carrying out the demolition.

Report Prepared by: Jim Dillane, extension 220. 812 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/95, MARCH 10,1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES OF ONTARIO (ACAO) POOLED HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN This item was recommended for approval at Finance and Administration Advisory Board Meeting #1/95, held March 10, 1995. KEY ISSUE This report recommends that the Authority participate in the ACAO pooled health benefits plan administered by Buffett Taylor and Associates Ltd. Res. #E8/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THA T staff be directed to enter into the necessary arrangements to participate in the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario pooled health plan with Maritime Life; AND FURTHER THAT Buffett Taylor and Associates Ltd. be named as the Authority's broker for health insurance plans. CARRIED BACKGROUND In the summer of 1994, the Authority staff was approached by the ACAO to participate in a marketing of health plans for all conservation authorities. Staff agreed with the provision that the insurance companies invited to quote be advised that the MTRCA was not committed to make any change to its existing coverage or insurer. Also, the Authority's broker, Alexander and Alexander, was advised that the MTRCA had agreed to participate in the marketing. Maritime Life was advised and requested to provide information on the Authority's health plans for purposes of the marketing. Maritime agreed and indicated that they would be quoting on the ACAO proposals. Buffett Taylor proceeded with the marketing in the fall of 1994. Representatives of Buffett Taylor met with staff on February 16th. Their letter of February 24, 1995, summarizes the results of the marketing. ANAL YSIS As the members are aware, the Authority's brokers, Alexander and Alexander, successfully marketed the MTRCA health plans on a stand alone basis in the winter of 1994. This resulted in significant savings to the Authority due in large measure to Maritime Life out-bidding Sun Life for the L TD coverage. The ACAO through its brokers has marketed all Authority Health Plans. The main advantage to the ACAO arrangement is the economies associated with a larger pool for life insurance and long term disability. This larger pool enabled Maritime to improve on the existing rate structure for MTRCA and the other authorities. The saving to the MTRCA is estimated to be about $33,000 annually. The Authority's accidental death and dismemberment coverage is with UNUM Insurance. This will not change. MARCH 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/95 813 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. ACAO POOLED HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN (CONTDJ Buffett Taylor has identified the potential for some savings in the MTRCA's experience rated health plans, major medical and dental. In any case, the current rates and plan structure would continue. Staying with Maritime Life has the benefit of requiring no administrative changes which is itself a significant cost saving. By joining with the ACAO, the MTRCA can benefit significantly on pooled benefits. At the same time, MTRCA'S participation will provide rate reduction benefits to the other authorities. In terms of property insurance, the MTRCA participates in the ACAO auto coverage which is arranged through Reed Stenhouse IAlexander and Alexander). To participate in the ACAO scheme, the MTRCA will name Buffett Taylor as its broker. The terms of the Authority's appointment of Alexander and Alexander as agent of record provide that this can be terminated on 30 days notice. Alexander and Alexander has been the Authority's broker for health plans since 1978. Buffett Taylor successfully bid for the work as broker for the ACAO plans in 1994. A number of insurance brokers were considered including Alexander and Alexander.

AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. CARRIED 814 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #1/95, MARCH 10, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. 41 SPRINGBANK AVENUE, LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT, SCARBOROUGH SECTOR (CONTD.) -Rafael Nebres Property BACKGROUND At the Authority Meeting #12/94, held January 27, 1995, staff reported on a list of sixteen properties along the Scarborough Bluffs, where the houses were currently closer than fifteen meters from the crest of the bluff and which staff felt may have to be acquired at some point in the future as the oversteepened slopes recede back to their long term stable slope. The property at 41 Springbank Avenue was one of the sites listed, and, at the time of the report, was nine meters (30 feet) from the bluff crest. Erosion accelerated in January, 1995, because of extensive rainfall and freeze/thaw conditions. A gully to the east of the house accelerated and it is estimated that eight to ten meters of tableland was lost between the house/sunroom/deck and former bluff edge, since the beginning of January, 1995. . The gully is very active and is eroding towards the house. An inspection of the property by Authority staff was carried out on February 10, 1995, as a result of concerns expressed by the owners. Authority staff advised the city in writing about the deteriorating conditions at the site and the safety of the house and occupants and a meetinglsite inspection was requested and carried out on March 6, 1995. Based on a site inspection on March 6, the Scarborough Building Inspector issued an "Unsafe Building Order to Make Safe". This order directed the owner to barricade and seal off access to a portion of the rear deck area. A geotechnical consultant was retained by the owner to inspect the property. On Tuesday, March 7, an additional three meters of tableland was lost, undermining the south east corner of the sunroom and encroaching within three meters of the footing of the house. Scarborough building officials inspected the property on Wednesday, March 8 and an additional "Unsafe Building Order to Make Safe" was issued. This order directed the owner to seal off the entire sunroom and deck area, and to submit a geotechnical report outlining the stability and safety of the house to the City of Scarborough by March 15, 1995. At that time, Scarborough will make a decision. In the interim, a daily monitoring program has been established with MTRCA and the geotechnical consultant until the report is filed with Scarborough, at which time the monitoring program will be reviewed. MTRCA will report immediately to Scarborough of any significant changes in erosion.

Under Authority Resolution #A45/94, Meeting #2/94, staff were authorized to expropriate the necessary property interests required to facilitate the shoreline management works in the vicinity of Sylvan Avenue. Staff did not initiate expropriation proceedings for the subject site since owners indicated they would convey the land upon receipt of all approvals for the project. The final approvals were received in December, 1994, and staff has been negotiating with the owners and their representative since that time. During negotiations, the owners requested extensive engineering of the slope in return for conveyance of their lands. Engineering the slope was not within the scope of the approved project because of the cost. Staff have negotiated acquisition of the shoreline required for the construction, plus lands extending just past the crest of the slope.

TENDER OPENING SUB-COMMITTEE #1/95, TENDER ES-95-01 -Rental of Heavy Construction Equipment and Operator KEY ISSUE Tender Opening Sub-Committee #1/95, held March 31, 1995, opened tenders for the supply of heavy construction equipment and operators. The tenders received were referred to staff for review and a report. Res. #E19/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Patrick Abtan THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Watershed Management Division utilize, as required during 1995, the service of Sartor and Susin Limited for the rental of construction equipment with operators, that being the lowest quotation received; AND FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to use the attached list (page B33) to select additional equipment, based on the next lowest tender, if the need arises. CARRIED BACKGROUND A request for tenders was placed in the Daily Commercial News. The rental of the construction equipment with operator is to be utilized by the Watershed Management Division in carrying out the 1995 work programs. The decision regarding the low quotation is based on comparison of a list of equipment commonly used in work which would give the best package over the 1995 work period. A total of six tenders were received. The analysis of the quotations, page B33, indicates that Sartor and Susin Limited is the lowest quotation received. In the event that Sartor and Susin Limited cannot supply all equipment needs during the peak construction periods, it would be prudent to be able to use the attached list to select equipment from the company which provides the next lowest tender price. This will be dependant on what equipment is specified and will help ensure that equipment is always available. 833 APRIL 7, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4.

CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95, APRIL 7, 1995 836 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 6. STATUS REPORT ON SALE OF SURPLUS LANDS (CONTD.) -Jane and Steeles, City of Vaughan -Highway #7 and Goreway Drive, City of Brampton BACKGROUND (a) Jane and Steeles On February 9, 1993, the Authority entered into an agreement with 970545 Ontario Limited, represented by Mr. Nick Di Lorenzo, for the sale of a 4.3 acre parcel of land to be used for a Senior Citizens Residence and Community and Cultural Centre at the northeast corner of Jane and Steeles. Completion of the transaction was conditional upon re-zoning, removal of the land from the Parkway Belt Designation and the issuance of an Order in Council. A hearing before the Joint Board under the provisions of the Consolidated Hearings Act of Ontario was held in July, 1994 to deal with matters under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Municipal Board pertaining to the Planning Act and other issues pursuant to the Parkway Belt Planning and Development Act. United Parcel Service (UPS) objected to the proposed seniors use at the Joint Board on the basis that future occupants of the development might complain of noise from the UPS operation even though efforts were being taken by the proposed purchaser to deal with noise issues. A favourable decision was received in September of 1994 from the Joint Board. UPS then filed a Petition to Cabinet seeking to revoke the Joint Board's decision. In January of 1995, the Provincial Cabinet confirmed the decision of the Joint Board. The Authority's original submission to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for an Order in Council for the sale included a request to utilize the proceeds to carry out renovations and an addition to the Head Office. While MNR supported certain funding being utilized for retrofit and renovations at the Authority Head Office, difficulties were encountered in discussions with Treasury Board staff. The Order in Council was received in January on the basis that the proceeds are to be utilized for land acquisition purposes only. The tentative closing date for this transaction is now scheduled for on or before May 15, 1995. The purchaser has not yet been successful in obtaining government assisted funding for the proposed development and is now also pursuing alternate private funding.

BRUCE'S MILL BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION -Tenders KEY ISSUE Staff have reviewed the results of Tenders FOD 95-09 and 95-09A received as part of Tender Opening Sub-Committee Meeting #17/94 and Meeting #1/95 and are providing a recommendation for the award of the contract. Res. #E26/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Patrick Abtan THAT Tender Opening Sub-Committee Reports #17/94 and #1/95 (Appendix TO.35/94, and TO.1/95) regarding bridge reconstruction at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area be received; AND FURTHER THAT the quotation received from Rutherford Construction Limited under Tender #95-09, in the amount of $82,018.71 be accepted, it being the lowest quotation which meets specifications. CARRIED BACKGROUND In January 1995, the Authority called for tenders on the reconstruction of the main road bridge at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area. The following companies submitted bids to the Authority: ARC Mechanical and General Contracting Braunstein Braunstein Dagmar Construction Industries Inc. Alan Jenkins and Associates Rutherford Contracting Ltd. J.D. Strachan Construction Ltd. Ron Wilson Construction Ltd. The low bid of $82,018.71, received from Rutherford Construction, exceeded the estimated cost of $60,000. It was therefore decided to issue another invitation to tender 195-09A) to the four lowest bidders, using revised specifications, in hopes of receiving bids closer to the estimated cost. The new specifications called for steel beam and wood deck construction, rather than a concrete slab design. Three bids were received as follows: Ron Wilson Construction Ltd. $73,443.00 Rutherford Contracting Ltd. $99,878.08 Braunstein Braunstein $130,294.71 841 APRIL 7, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. BRUCE'S MILL BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION ICONTD.) -Tenders Staff reviewed the bids received and determined that the bid received from Ron Wilson Construction did not meet specification, nor did it meet the Authority's required completion date for the project. Both remaining contractors submitted bids on the revised specifications which were higher than their bids on the original specifications. ANALYSIS If the unacceptable bid from Ron Wilson Construction was eliminated, the next lowest bid was that received from Rutherford Contracting under the original tender competition. Staff has received confirmation from Rutherford that their bid submitted in January still stands. The current unsafe condition of the bridge at Bruce's Mill means that the area cannot fully reopen until the reconstruction work is complete. It is therefore critical that this work be carried out in time for spring opening. Staff is therefore recommending that the initial bid from Rutherford Contracting be awarded. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for this project are identified in the 1995 Conservation Area Development Budget in account 408-68. The additional cost over and above the initial estimated cost will be covered using funds reallocated from other budgets within the Conservation Areas Development Program.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -Consultant Selection for Architectural Assessment KEY ISSUE To retain services of a Restoration Architectural firm to conduct an architectural conservation study at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Res. #E27 /95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Patrick Abtan THAT the firm of Philip Goldsmith and Company Ltd., Architects, be retained to conduct the architectural conservation study at Black Creek Pioneer Village at an estimated cost of $24,500.00 (excluding GST). CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95, APRIL 7, 1995 842 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE (CONTD.) -Consultant Selection for Architectural Assessment BACKGROUND In the long term planning for capital and major maintenance requirements for BCPV, architectural condition assessments of buildings are a necessary planning tool. These assessments are essential to accurate costing and effective fund raising efforts. The renewal and restoration of existing facilities at Black Creek is to be a key thrust undertaken by The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto through the efforts of the newly created position of Development Officer. In light of this, and with the ultimate goal of stimulating visitor attendance and revenue generation at Slack Creek, Authority staff have made application to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation (MCTR) to assist with funding for this analysis. In order to create a plan for the preservation/maintenance of historical buildings at Black Creek Pioneer Village, an in depth assessment by a restoration architect was recommended by the Heritage Properties Programs Unit of MCTR. Application was made to the MCTR for an Architectural Conservation Grant. On January 27, 1995, the MTRCA was awarded an Architectural Conservation Grant by MCTR to assist with the study of eight historical buildings at Black Creek Pioneer Village. The grant of $12,500 is to be matched by the MTRCA for a total project budget of $25,000. The terms of reference for the study provided the following objectives: (a) A thorough condition assessment for eight historical buildings at Black Creek Pioneer Village, including the four building Stong farm complex, the Mackenzie House, the Doctor's House, the PrintlWeaver Shop and the Fisherville Church; and, the preparation of a preservation plan for their restoration and ongoing maintenance. (b) The creation of a step by step guide for assessment and preservation that will become a maintenance manual prototype for Slack Creek Pioneer Village, and to be made available by MCTR for distribution to other heritage property owners. The project was sent to six restoration architectural firms, whose selection was based on consultation with the MCTR and other heritagelrestoration projects. Each firm was provided with the budget range of $20,000 to $25,000 for this study. Three firms responded with project proposals: (1) Edwin Rowse Architect Inc. $22,800.00 (2) Philip Goldsmith and Company Ltd., Architects $24,500.00 (3) Ian McGillivray and Alan Seymour, Architects $25,000.00 843 APRIL 7, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE (CONTD.) -Consultant Selection for Architectural Assessment The following firms did not submit a proposal: (4) Armstrong, Molesworth, Shepherd Architects Inc. (5) TaylorlHazell Architect Ltd. (6) Spencer R. Higgins Architect Inc. The costs quoted by the three candidates were all within the suggested budget range and the three submissions all met the terms of reference. Authority staff has reviewed and evaluated the proposals. Each proposal was assessed in costing detail, project team, approach to tasks, expertise, and innovative additions. As well, references were consulted, including both former and current clients. Each firm met with staff on site during the preparation of proposals, and each was interviewed by telephone upon receipt of proposals. Staff recommend the appointment of Philip Goldsmith and Company Ltd., Architects, for the following reasons: (a) The proposal presented was the most comprehensive and site sensitive. (b) The schedule included a high frequency of c1ientlconsultant meetings. (c) The proposal indicated the inclusion of a basic computer based program for ongoing maintenance record keeping. (d) The interview indicated the intention to include suggestions for barrier-free access feasibility. (e) Goldsmith is currently working with other MTRCA staff on an unrelated project. Consultation with the staff involved indicates that this firm has exceeded expectations. Authority staff are satisfied that Philip Goldsmith and Company Ltd. can complete the work in accordance with all aspects of the terms of reference and therefore recommend that they be awarded the study project. FINANCIAL DETAILS The MCTR grant for $12,500 has been received by the MTRCA. The matching $12,500 has been included in the 1995 MTRCA Capital budget, which was approved on March 31, 1995.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -Consultant Selection for General Awareness Advertising Campaign KEY ISSUE To retain the services of an advertising agency to execute the Black Creek Pioneer Village general awareness advertising campaign. Res. #E28/95 Moved by: Lorna Bissell Seconded by: Patrick Abtan THA T the firm of Calexis Corporation be retained to develop and execute the Black Creek Pioneer Village general awareness advertising campaign, at a total cost of $ 1 00,000. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #10/94, Resolution #A256/94 was passed, authorizing staff at Black Creek Pioneer Village to proceed with developing an 1995 General Awareness Campaign in order to increase attendance and revenues. The resolution further directed that the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto be requested to support the General Awareness Campaign by providing up to $50,000 through the Black Creek Pioneer Village Endowment Fund. The Board of Directors of the Conservation Foundation approved the recommendation at their meeting on March 30, 1995. In accordance with MTRCA purchasing policy, terms of reference were developed, including project description, objectives, background information, scope, timing, selection criteria, approach planned by the consultant, and expected delivery results. The competition was advertised in Marketing Magazine. Of the 45 agencies who submitted letters of interest, 20 completed the qualifying questionnaire. RATIONALE Six firms out of 20 were selected to be interviewed. Selection criteria included ability to achieve business results, creative approaches, experience with smaller client budgets, success with sponsorships and leveraging. A project briefing was held. The six firms interviewed were: Calexis Corporation Chris Hughes Company Ellis Teichman Communications LTD. Galer and MacMillan Communications Inc. K. D. Black LA Ads 845 APRIL 7,1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #2/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE (CONTD.) -Consultant Selection for General Awareness Advertising Campaign Authority staff has reviewed and evaluated the six campaign strategies presented. Each agency presented business and communications objectives, target market, media development, media schedule, and budget breakdown. Each proposal was rated against a list of criteria including planning process, cost effectiveness, leveraging or bon using, previous business results, creativity and effectiveness of media strategy. The Calexis proposal demonstrated strong strategic thinking, sound understanding of attractions marketing, unique positioning of the village, and significant bonusing opportunities to stretch the media buying budget. Authority staff are satisfied that Calexis can complete the work in accordance with all aspects of the terms of reference and therefore recommend that they be awarded the assignment. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The consultant will be required to develop the detailed campaign strategy with BCPV staff including the Conservation Foundation Development Officer. The strategy will include concept refinement, creative development, production, media buy, and evaluation. Timing is critical. The project should begin immediately to generate impact, visibility, and profile throughout the May to September period. The May, June media buy is essential to driving business to Black Creek throughout the spring summer peak period. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The 1995 BCPV advertising budget has been scrutinized and $50,000 has been redirected from event advertising to the general awareness campaign. This has been matched by the Conservation Foundation from the BCPV Growth Endowment Fund, and is reflected in the 1995 marketing budget. With the advertising bon using Calexis has negotiated based on the proposal, BCPV will be extending its media buy by a value of more than $40,000. Further bonusing, cross promotion opportunities, and sponsorships are to be developed. Estimated cost distribution for this project is: Agency $ 15,000 Production costs $ 25,000 Working Media (media buy) $ 60,000 TOT AL: $100,000 Report prepared by: Marty Brent, extension 403.

CRESCENT SCHOOL -Closure of Part of Lawrence Avenue East Road Allowance -Don River Watershed KEY ISSUE Request by Metropolitan Toronto Council for comments by the Authority on the closure of a part of Lawrence Avenue East, east of Bayview Avenue and selling of the land to neighbouring Crescent School by the City of North York. Res. #E34/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT staff be directed to advise the Environment and Public Space Committee at The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto that the part of Lawrence Avenue East road allowance, east of Bayview Avenue, declared surplus by the City of North York, is not suitable for development; AND FURTHER THAT the City of North York and the Crescent School be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND On September 28, 1994, the Metropolitan Council amended Clause No.7 in Report No. 16 and requested the MTRCA to submit a report to the new Environment and Public Space Committee, outlining the Authority's comments regarding the closure of a part of Lawrence Avenue and proposed selling of the land to the neighbouring Crescent School for use as a playing field. It is our understanding that the subject lands were conveyed to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, in 1967 through a zoning application for Crescent School that was approved subject to conveyance to Metro. By-law No. 67-91 adopted by Metro Council on May 22, 1991, removed this portion of Lawrence A venue East from the Metro Roads system and reverted it to the City of North York. The lands are entirely within the valley corridor of the West Branch of the Don River. On December 17, 1993, the City of North York advised the Authority that valley and flood plain lands, acquired for the proposed widening of Lawrence Avenue East, were declared surplus and that Crescent School, at 2365 Bayview Avenue, was requesting that the valley lands be conveyed back to the school. The Authority responded to the City of North York with two letters dated February 14, 1994 and March 25, 1994, advising that the subject property should remain in public ownership for the following reasons: Ii) the subject property is regulated pursuant to the Authority's Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway Regulati9n/Ontario Regulation 158; (ii) the subject property is within and adjacent to the Glendon Forest Environmentally Significant Area (ESA 65) which is noted for its high quality forest and is home to two regionally rare plants; (iii) it is a key link in the Don River green lands systems. MAY 12, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95 857 - . SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. CRESCENT SCHOOL (CONTD.l -Closure of Part of Lawrence Avenue East Road Allowance -Don River Watershed North York By-law 32372, enacted and passed on September 8, 1994, provided for the closing and stopping up of part of Lawrence A venue East and also authorized the sale thereof. These lands were subsequently transferred to the Crescent School on March 24, 1995. Crescent School had requested the reconveyance in order that they can relocate a playing field into the valley. The school has requested traffic lights for their access off Sayview A venue, however Metro Transportation has determined that the traffic conditions do not warrant a signal installation at this location. The school is now considering a new access off Bayview Avenue for safety reasons and if it proceeds, the school will need to relocate a playing field. Authority staff has had several meetings with representatives from Crescent School and their consultants to discuss design concepts for relocating the playing field in the valley on the lands reconveyed to the school. To date, staff have not been able to support the concepts under Ontario Regulation 158 la formal application has not been submitted). because of the impacts: Ii) on the control of flooding; (ii) on the conservation of land; (iii) on the Glendon Forest Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA 65). It is staff's opinion that these lands are not suitable for development. Report prepared by: Ron Dewell, extension 245. 3.

There is a covenant on title which limits the use of the property for any purpose other than for conservation. We have requested The Donwood Institute to obtain a release from UOT prior to completion of the transaction. The Donwood Institute is proposing to construct an addition to their building and upgrade the site. A permanent easement was granted to The Donwood Institute at Authority Meeting #3/94, thereby formalizing an easement for an existing storm sewer. The land exchange was proposed by The Donwood Institute to resolve a .1 m shortfall in limiting distance requirements for a firewall. Staff of Metro Toronto Parks and Property Department are in concurrence with this proposal. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this exchange and is in concurrence with this proposal. Attached as page 859 IS a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Executive Committee Meeting #3/94, under Resolution #E46/94, staff was directed to review the request from the Town of Markham for disposal of 17 Mill Street, Town of Markham, in accordance with established Authority policies and report back recommending further action. The former Maciver property was acquired by the Authority in 1978. The site is 4.13 acres in size and is improved with a single family dwelling (see attached plan, page B64). In 1982, the Authority entered into a management agreement for the lands associated with the Milne Park. This was expanded to include certain other Authority lands within the Town of Markham including the former Maciver property. MAY 12, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95 861 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. 17 MILL STREET - REOUEST FOR DISPOSAL OF AUTHORITY OWNED LANDS - Rouge River WatershedlTown of Markham On January 31,1994, the Town of Markham's Recreation and Culture Committee, referred a request for the demolition of the Edward Carr House, 17 Mill Street, to the Heritage Committee. The demolition was being proposed because the estimated costs needed for repairs exceeded the rental revenue expected to be generated from the town managed property over the next five years. Heritage Markham recommended against the demolition. The Recreation and Culture Committee brought forward a report which was adopted by Council on March 29, 1994. The report recommended against the demolition and requested Markham staff to investigate a sale option to promote the restoration of the historic building. The Authority considered the Town of Markham's request and by Resolution #E46/94, directed staff to review the request and re,port back. The subject building is within the Rouge Park (north of Steeles) and is below top of the bank, within the fill regulated area but outside the flood plain. Initially, technical staff recommended against a sale, and advised the Town of Markham accordingly. Attached as pages B62-B63 is an extract containing the Recreation and Culture Committee Report, which was adopted without amendment by Council at its meeting held on February 14, 1995. The three options being recommended by Markham Council are: Ii) long term lease; (ii) sale of house and relocation to another site; (iii) reconsider demolition after six months if options (i) or (ii) are not enacted. On May 11, 1995, staff received additional information from the Town of Markham, attached as pages B65-B70, clarifying the position of Council regarding this matter, in which they state their preference for the sale of the lot and building. At the present time, the building is boarded up and is not suitable for rent. Unless options (i) and Iii) are enacted, the building may have be to be demolished. If the Town of Markham's proposals are not successful, staff will meet With Town of Markham staff and report to the Authority on any possible alternatives to resolve the Issue.

It is possible to request permission to sell the house and remove it from its present location. The MTRCA however, are not willing to sever the property and sell the house on location.

The dwelling has been empty since the summer of 1994 and will require repairs to maintain. C(luncil requested Heritage Markham's input as the dwelling is listed as a significant heritage suucture located within the Markham Village Heritage Conservation Disuict and one of the very few historic structures to remain ;11 the Vinegar Hill area south of Highway #7. Heritage Markham suggested that the Town investigate the sale of the property to an individual interested in preserving and maintaining the dwclling. nUs issue was the subject of a Recreation and Culture Committee Report discussed at tho FcbfUary 6, 1995 Committee meeting. The recommendation of this Committee, CUITCndy before Council (item 12 on today's agenda), does Dot support the further investigation of the sale of the subject lot, but instead focuses on thc negotiation of a long tenn lease agreemcnt or the relocation of the strUcmre. (See Appendix 'A'). COMMENT Mr. DOD Prince of the MTRCA was contaCted and has advised that be was unaware of Hcritqe Markham's role in initiating the Town's investigation of MTRCA'-s willingness to sell the pi operty as a heritage conservation measure. Mr. Prince advises that the Town should conuet the Cbair of the Board of Directors of the Authority and ask for pennission to attend one of their meetings to fully explain the heritage conservation concerns of the property and the receive the Boatd's ruling on the sale of the property. d that t, Mill Street is located on a. lot of record within a re~d plsm of II should also b~ Dote 113) d it would appear that under the Pla11ll1Dg ACt, It. subdivision (bemg Lot 29, R.P. an severance would not be required.

SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.) -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan On February 9, 1993, the Authority entered into an agreement with 970545 Ontario Limited represented by Mr. Nick DiLorenzo for the sale of a 4.3 acre parcel of land to be used for a senior citizens residence and community and cultural centre at the northeast corner of Jane and Steeles. Completion of the transaction was conditional upon re-zoning, removal of the land from the Parkway Belt Designation and the issuance of an Order in Council. A hearing before the Joint Board under the provisions of the Consolidated Hearings Act of Ontario was held in July, 1994 to deal with matters under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Municipal Board pertaining to the Planning Act and other issues pursuant to the Parkway Belt Planning and Development Act. Efforts were being taken by the proposed purchaser to deal with noise issues. A favourable decision was received in September of 1994 from the Joint Board. United Parcel Service then filed a Petition to Cabinet seeking to revoke the Joint Board's decision. In January of 1995, the Provincial Cabinet confirmed the decision of the Joint Board. The City of Vaughan has been very supportive of the development as originally proposed. The Order in Council authorizing completion of this sale by the Authority was received in January 1995. The land involved was virtually frozen from development because of the Parkway Belt restrictions existing at the time of execution of our agreements. The lands can now be developed at no cost to the Authority. The purchasers and their associates have been unsuccessful in obtaining seniors housing unit allocation and funding assistance from the provincial government to proceed with the proposed senior citizens housing development as originally planned. To be in a position to complete the transaction on a cash basis as required by the Authority and carry out the development on a basis of close as possible to the original concept, the purchaser and his development team are now propOSing to carry out the development including the following components: la) Phase I SIX storey, 80 unit equity ownership apartment to be marketed to the over 55 group community centre, cultural centre lb) Phase II six storey, 80 unit equity ownership apartment to be marketed to the over 55 group lc) Phase III daycare centre one or two storey low rise commercial/office space Staff have met on a number of occasions with Nick DiLorenzo of 970545 Ontario Limited; Peter Weston of Weston, Larkin; Bruce J. Langer, who has extensive experience in developments of this nature; and, Bruno Appollonio of Appollonio Associates Inc., Architects. Staff feel that the concept now being proposed may be feasible and similar to the seniors concept, as earlier envisioned. , MA Y 12, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95 879 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.) -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan Discussions with City of Vaughan staff indicate that this proposal would be accommodated within the framework of the approved OPA and zoning by-law amendment. In order to successfully carry out this concept, pre-selling will need to be utilized and it is proposed that upon receipt of support from the Authority, that advertising and marketing of the project will commence during late spring and early summer. While staff is disappointed with the delay in closing, this is reflective of current market conditions. Staff has made it very clear to the purchaser and his associates, that in spite of the fact that they will be spending an amount estimated at $50,000 during the next few months, that no further extensions beyond September 29, 1995 will be recommended. The Authority solicitor has met with the principal and his associates and is in the process of preparing an Addendum to the Agreement, to protect the interest of the Authority. The purchaser will be required to pay the entire purchase price prior to commencement of any construction. The successful implementation of this project could provide the Authority with an opportunity to obtain storefront or office space as part of this development. Staff will continue to explore this alternative as a part of this sale, in addition to the other studies and investigations which are currently underway.

The Minister requests the Authority to appoint a representative and an alternate to the newly formed Rouge Watershed and Park Council. It is recommended that the Authority appoint a member and a staff alternate. Given that Councillor Raymond Cho is an Authority member and that his Ward of Scarborough Malvern contains a large part of the Rouge Park Phase 1, it would be appropriate to have Councillor Cho be the Authority's representative. Also, as the appointment by Metropolitan Toronto of Councillor Cho to the Authority is for an eighteen month period, his appointment to the Rouge Watershed and Park Council should coincide with this term as well. The major work of Rouge Park Council will deal with operations within the Phase 1 park area and the planning of the Park north of Steeles A venue, the most appropriate staff person to be involved is our Director of Facilities and Operations, Mr. Ken Owen.

Res. #E45/95 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Brian Harrison THAT Tender Opening Sub-Committee Report #2/95, TO. 2/95, regarding replacement of the septic system and tile bed at the Claremont Conservation Filed Centre be received; AND FURTHER THAT the quotation received from J. Barry Smith and Son, in the amount of $71,705.30 be accepted, it being the lowest quotation received. CARRIED BACKGROUND During 1994, concerns were noted with respect to the septic system and tile bed at the Claremont Conservation Field Centre. The current system is unable to handle the capacity required of it, and the existing location and soil types present have led to instances of ponding of effluent. Following discussions with the Durham Region Health Department and a consulting engineer, it was determined that replacement and relocation of the system and tile bed is required. This work includes replacement of the native soil. Tenders were invited and the following responses were received: Claremont Excavating and Grading $79,372.60 H.N. Evans and Son Unable to Quote J. Barry Smith and Son $71,705.30 Todd Brothers Contracting Ltd. $99,710 Wilson Septic Service $166,750 FINANCIAL DETAILS This project is included in the Authority's Capital Budget as approved at Authority Meeting #2/95.

LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT REGENERATION PROJECT 1995-1999 -Colonel Samuel Smith Park, City of Etobicoke KEY ISSUE To retain the services of a consultant to complete the final design and tender documents for two public viewing platforms at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, City of Etobicoke. Res. #E46/95 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Brian Harrison THAT the firm of SHAL Consulting Engineers Inc. be retained to complete the final design and tender documents for two public viewing platforms at a total revised upset limit of $6,100 (excluding GST), which includes a contingency allowance of $1,200. CARRIED BACKGROUND Colonel Samuel Smith Waterfront Park is being developed under the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project 1995-1999 and in accordance with the approved Master Plan. The two proposed viewing platforms will function as a portion of a self-guided park nature interpretive trail. The interpretive trail, which is intended to provide environmental education and awareness to interested park users, will form a connection between the two created wetlands. The first viewing platform will be located at the large inland wetland, south of the waterfront trail, with the second platform located at the boat basin wetland. Both viewing platforms will provide opportunities for public observation and education about migrating and resident bird species, created habitats and wetland ecosystems. RATIONALE Three proposals for the final design of two vieWing platforms and contract document preparation were received as follows - (prices do not include GST): SHAL Consulting Engineers Inc. $4,900. H. Sustronk and Associates Ltd. $7,175. Johnson Sustronk Weinstein and Assoc. $7,510. The consultants' proposals were evaluated on the following criteria: . understanding of background information, environmental concerns and proposed approach; . experience and expertise of key members of the consulting team; . time frame for completion of project; . cost. Following an in depth review and evaluation, the proposal from SHAL Consulting Engineers Inc. was ranked first overall. 886 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95, MAY 12, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. LAKE ONTARIO WATERFRONT REGENERATION PROJECT 1995-1999 (CONTD.) -Colonel Samuel Smith Park. City of Etobicoke As part of the review of SHAL's proposal, staff identified two minor time constraints. SHAL allows for only minor redesign following the first project review with staff. In addition, SHAL has only allowed for three site meetings during construction. Staff, therefore, recommend that a contingency amount of $1,200, which would be used only if required, be included with SHAL's proposal to allow for some extra redesign work to be completed, plus two additional site meetings during construction. Even with the contingency amount added to SHAL's proposal it still remains the most cost effective. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Final design drawings will be completed by the consultants for the two public viewing platforms. The overall design will incorporate appropriate footings and foundations, wood decking and railings where required, seating and proper access for handicapped accessibility. The detail design work will require consultation with Metro Toronto Parks and Property Department and the City of Etobicoke Building Department. Finally, the consultants will prepare contract documents and drawings for tendering and will oversee the installation of the project. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds are budgeted in the Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project, 1995-1999, under Account No. 251-73. These funds Include contributions by Environment Canada - Great Lakes 2000 Clean Up Fund - $35,000; Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy - Environmental Education and Awareness Program - $15,000; Canada Trust Friends of the Environment Foundation - $25,000; and, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.

COMPUTERIZED RESERVATION SYSTEM -Contract Approval KEY ISSUE This report recommends approval under tile Authority's purchasing policies of a contract for a computerized reservation system. Res. #E47/95 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Brian Harrison THAT the proposal from Chassels Computer Systems Inc. for supply and delivery of Stage 1 of a centralized reservation system be approved at a cost of $10,000 lplus applicable taxes), acquisition of necessary software licences not included; MAY 12, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95 887 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. COMPUTERIZED RESERVATION SYSTEM (CONTD.) -Contract Approval AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto including the signing of contracts. CARRIED BACKGROUND As part of our efforts to better serve the Authority's customers and to achieve greater efficiency in the use of staff resources, a decision was made in 1994 to prepare specifications for a centralized computer reservation system to meet the needs of the conservation areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village, I<ortright and the four education field centres. The existing manual and partially automated reservations process limits the ability of individual staff to serve Authority's clients. Pursuant to the purchasing policy, Executive Committee approval is required because although the work is less than $25,000, only one company tendered for the work. ANAL YSIS The Authority has experimented with off the shelf reservations software and found it lacking in features needed for the Authority's operations. Few off the shelf products offer a network capability and other features required. After several years of trying such solutions, staff concluded that a customized system using a relational data base product was necessary. The Authority tendered successfully for a new accounting system about 5 years ago. The system runs in a relational data base software product, PROGRESS, on a Unix operating platform. The Authority has had excellent success with the accounting system. Also, there is a need to link the reservations system to the accounting system for purposes of invoicing and posting of accounts. Staff prepared the specifications for the reservations system with the requirement that the work be done using PROGRESS. Staff contacted the International Programmers Guild to obtain names of companies in the Toronto area supporting their product. Proposals were sent to: Chassels Computer Systems Inc., Etobicoke; The Kingsway Group Inc., Concord; Kilobyte Computers, Woodbridge. The Authority received only one proposal, that of Chassels. The other companies indicated that they were either too busy or not interested in a small project. The Authority has had successful relationship with Chassels. They provide timely, effective support for the Authority's accounting system and done a number of modest programming upgrades to the system as our requirements have changed. Although Chassels is a small company, they have a number of staff well versed In the product and can provide reliable support. Chassels has provided a number of references including Command Record Services, Brampton; Robin Hood Multifoods, Rexdale; The O'Keefe Centre and the Metro Toronto Licensing Commission. If Chassels is successful with Stage 1, staff may recommend to the Executive Committee the awarding of contracts for the additional modules. 888 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95, MAY 12, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. COMPUTERIZED RESERVATION SYSTEM (CONTD.) -Contract Approval Staff are prepared to recommend the selection of Chassels. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Staff had originally budgeted $25,000 for the reservations system project. As we worked through the specifications process, it made more sense to implement successfully one module at a time. The modules are similar and it is our expectation that each succeeding module can be created with less programming and development time. The Stage 1 development cost includes a number of information and reporting features which will be common to all stages. The initial cost of $10,000 for Stage 1 will diminish with each stage that follows. The Chassels proposal is an upset limit for Stage 1. The next stages may be tendered individually. If Chasse Is is successful with Stage 1, staff may recommend to the Executive Committee the awarding of contracts for the additional modules. In addition to the development cost, additional client software is to be licensed at an estimated cost of $5,000. This and some modest hardware requirements are provided for in the approved 1995 budget. For information contact: Jim Dillane, extension 220. 14. ROUGE WATERSHED AND PARK COUNCIL -Authority Administrative Role KEY ISSUE The CAO was requested to report on the role of the Authority with respect to providing administrative services to the Rouge Watershed and Park Council.

ROUGE WATERSHED AND PARK COUNCIL lCONTD.) -Authority Administrative Role BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #3/95, held April 28, 1995, Res. #A 114/95 was carried: "THA T the CAQ report to the next Executive Committee meeting on the administrative services being provided by the Authority for the Rouge Watershed and Park CounclY. " Authority staff have held discussions with the Province of Ontario with respect to the services to be provided by the Authority for the Rouge Watershed and Park Council. The basis for these discussions is. that the province will transfer $650,000 minus the salary of the Park General Manager and other small items, such as any compensation that may be provided to the Chair, to the Authority. This will be done in accordance with an agreement between the province and the Authority. This funding will be used to offset expenditures as they arise. In order to provide for proper accounting and budget controls a separate set of accounts has been set up for the Rouge Park. Staff have requested that a detailed budget be developed and this will be provided. A $300 petty cash fund for use by the General Manager has been set up and a basic operating account has been established for administration expenditures. We have suggested that the Council adopt the basic limits and signature requirements of the Authority's Purchasing Policy, but this will have to be agreed to by the Council. The General Manager will have remote access via a computer terminal to our accounting files in order that up to date information can be obtained. This is similar to our own operations. Although the General Manager is paid directly by the Ministry of Natural Resources, since he is seconded to the Rouge Park, other staff that may be hired will be deemed to be Authority staff and will be processed through the Authority payroll department. At this point, no other administrative responsibilities will be provided by the Authority. These services are very minor and do not result in any real cost to the Authority. Any additional services that may be required that are of a significant nature will be reported to the Authority.

Res. #E50/95 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the staff report dated 1995.05.11. concerning leasing arrangements with Ontario Hydro be received; THAT staff be authorized to take any necessary action to deal with heating, safety and insurance concerns as expeditiously as possible, including expenditures not to exceed $30,000.; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to report to the Executive Committee, at such time as recommendations for a new lease are available. CARRIED 892 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95, MAY 12, 1995 - SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 16. CANADA POST CORPORATION PROPERTY (CONTD.) -City of Mississauga, Ontario Hydro Lease Agreement BACKGROUND The subject Authority holding consists of Part of Lot 5, Concession 3, SDS, City of Mississauga, Regional Municipality of Peel being part of a much larger area acquired from Canada Post on October 30, 1992. At the time of acquisition there was an existing lease with Ontario Hydro, for the use of approximately 24,000 sq. ft. of the office warehouse building situate at the west entrance to the property from Lakeshore Road East for a training facility. A small area of the building is leased at nominal rent by C.O.P.S., a community youth group sponsored by Peel Regional Police. The tenant pays for utilities, regular maintenance, taxes and rent of $85,680. per year. All funds collected from this rental are being applied to development of the future park. The lease in effect at the time of purchase provided for a five year term which expires on June 30, 1995. The existing lease protects the interests of the Authority and allows Ontario Hydro to remain on the property on a month-to-month basis at the existing rental rate. Ontario Hydro has expressed an interest In entering into a long-term lease of approximately five years. Authority staff has met with representatives of Ontario Hydro to discuss the possibility of renewing the lease and dealing with certain major maintenance problems involving the boiler system. Ontario Hydro wants assurance that the Authority will undertake the cost of the boiler repairs, otherwise they will not be able to use the building in the fall. The Authority's insurance representative conducted a thorough inspection of the boiler during 1994, in order that the boiler could be placed onto the Authority's insurance policy. Repairs totalling approximately $3,000 were carried out. Flushing of the boiler caused numerous leaks in the system. The cost of repairing the boiler, removal of all asbestos material and insulating the boiler, as submitted by Superior Boiler Works and Welding Ltd. is estimated at $28,000. The work would be tendered in accordance with the Authority's purchasing policies. Authority staff had been encouraging Ontario Hydro staff for several months to open negotiations on a new lease in order that appropriate arrangements could be concluded prior to completion of the term of the existing lease. Ontario Hydro staff at this location have been most co-operative and expeditious in accommodating Authority concerns. However, matters such as multi-year leases involve staff from the Ontario Hydro downtown office who appear to be dealing on provincial wide issues. Authority staff are anxious to attempt to work with staff of Ontario Hydro at least on a year-to-year basis at this location, as this provides a source of revenue to fund interim management and preliminary park development activities. While the Authority has been fortunate in avoiding any major expenditures to ttle building, the boiler repair is needed for the building to have adequate heat for the fall. At our meetings with Ontario Hydro, the possibility of Ontario Hydro absorbing the cost up front, with the Authority reimbursing Ontario Hydro on an instalment basis has been discussed.

CANADA POST CORPORATION PROPERTY lCONTD.) -City of Mississauga, Ontario Hydro Lease Agreement Ontario Hydro real estate representatives have indicated from a preliminary study carried out by their appraisers that the cost per sq. ft. for leasing office space has decreased from the time the lease was first negotiated.

INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY LANDFILL PROPOSALS -Update KEY ISSUE Preliminary hearings for Interim Waste Authority proposed landfill sites. Res. #E51/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THA T staff be directed to prepare and submit a request for intervenor funding for consultant and legal fees associated with participation in the Interim Waste Authority hearings. CARRIED BACKGROUND The preliminary hearings for Phase II Site Selection and Site Assessment have commenced with the Durham site May 9 and 10, 1995. Peel is scheduled for May 16 and 17 and Metro/York for May 23 and 24. The first item brought before the Board in Durham was the motion to adjourn all three preliminary hearings until after the provincial election, June 8, 1995. The Board heard the motion and argument and ruled that the Board has been given the responsibility of hearing these matters and that it would be inappropriate for them to put aside their responsibilities to enter into political speculation with respect to the outcome of a provincial election. The second matter that was dealt with was the issue of party status. Those recognized as parties are: 894 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95, MAY 12, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 17. INTERIM WASTE AUTHORITY LANDFILL PROPOSALS lCONTD.) -Update . Interim Waste Authority lproponent) . MOEE (representing provincial review team) . Town of Pickering . Pickering/Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment (PACT) . Watershed Ecosystem Coalition . The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority . Regional Municipality of Durham Those requesting, but not granted party status were: . It's Not Garbage Coalition . Vaughan C.A.R.E.S. The Ontario Native Alliance was granted part-time party status specific to archaeological resources and to those aspects of the project that would potentially impact on their use of the Authority's Greenwood Conservation Area and would not be addressed by the Authority; i.e., their environment perspective is different and includes spiritual, holistic matters. The Alliance was directed to consult with the Authority to ensure their concerns were separate and distinct. The third issue addressed by the prehearing was the schedule and deadlines for activities leading up to the hearing. The first date of significance to the Authority will be the deadline for applications for Intervenor Funding. In the previous stage of the IWA's process. the Authority received participant funding through an allocation directed through the Township of King. Having been granted party status, the Authority can apply for intervenor funding. Given that the participant funding panel found merit in the Authority's earlier submission and that the issue of integration of the biological/surface water and hydrogeological disciplines to analyze potential impacts on the health and integrity of the affected watersheds needs to be addressed, a submission for Intervenor funding should be prepared. In addition to applying for funding for consultant fees for document review, report preparation and attendance as experts at the pre-hearing conferences and the hearing, the Authority's costs for legal representation should also be a part of our funding request. There is a potential for the Authority to participate as a part time rather than a full time party. Once the issues have been fully clarified and we can be assured that matters affecting the Authority will be confined to specific parts of the hearing and that our attendance at all sessions is not required, it is our intention to consider limiting our participation to part time party.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At its Meeting #1/95, held March 10, 1995, the Executive Committee, under Resolution #E9/95, directed staff to explore the potential purchase of 41 Springbank Avenue in accordance with established Authority policies and report back to the Executive Committee. On March 13, 1995, The Planning and Buildings Department of the City of Scarborough issued an "Order Prohibiting Use or Occupancy of an Unsafe Building" to Mr. and Mrs. Nebres of 41 Springbank Avenue. The property has been vacant since that time. The erosion has continued but at a much slower rate. It has been estimated that the cost of remedial works to protect numbers 39 and 41 Spring bank is $600,000 to $650,000, which exceeds the value of the properties and makes the cost benefit of this option unfavourable. It is also the opinion of staff, based on the information provided to date by consultants reports, provincial guidelines for shoreline management, and the estimates of long term erosion that there is not an adequate safe building site within the lot that would provide for the long term safety of the structure and its occupants. Therefore, relocating the house within the lot or the building of a new house is not practical. MAY 12, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #3/95 8103 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 19. 41 SPRINGBANK A VENUE (CONTD.1 -Lake Ontario Waterfront, Scarborough Sector -Nebres Property The Authority has obtained independent appraisal information as to the fair market value of the property. The valuation at hand indicates that under the existing situation, the property is not saleable. Mr. and Mrs. Nebres purchased the propeny from Mr. P. Terenzio on September 1, 1994, for $300,000. Authority records show that the solicitor acting on behalf of Mr. Nebres contacted the Authority staff and was couriered a geotechnical report regarding the erosion at 41 Spring bank Avenue two days before closing. It is unconfirmed as to whether the soils information was received or reviewed before closing. However, it is apparent that the former owner, Mr. Terenzio, was aware of the long term problems associated with the slope. It is our understanding that there may be litigation associated with this property; one involving a former potential purchaser against Mr. Terenzio for the return of the purchaser's deposit of $30,000. In addition, the appraiser has raised questions about the private mortgage. Discussions are continuing with the owners and their representatives. The Authority's solicitors have been asked to review the information to date. A further repon will be provided to the Executive Committee at a future date.

The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has agreed to assume all legal, survey and other costs involved in completing the transaction. JUNE 2, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #4/95 8107 -- SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO (CONTD.) -Request for a permanent easement for an existing Sanitary Trunk Sewer on the West Humber River in the vicinity of Albion Road and Weston Road The subject lands were acquired from The Corporation of the City of Etobicoke in May 1977 under the Humber River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. In 1954, Metro passed a By-Law No. 204 expropriating an easement for the protection of the sewer. The by-law also stated that any land having the status of public highway were excluded from the by-law. At that time, Old Albion Road was a public highway and no easement was therefore required. In February of 1977, the City of Etobicoke closed Old Albion Road by By-Law 4022, bel/lg Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 on Plan 64R-5859. In May 1977, the City of Etobicoke conveyed Part of Old Albion Road as closed to The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This conveyance did not reserve an easement in favour of Metro for the protection of the Humber trunk sewer, which was in place well before the road closing. A plan illustrating this location is on page Bl08.

We are now in receipt of an offer from 1025944 Ontario Inc.

The Yeomen Rugby Club already rents land on a year-to-year basis from the Authority for rugby fields in the Nashville area; and, they have proven to be a satisfactory tenant at that location. A number of discussions have been held with members of the club and Authority staff and it would appear that there is a good chance of a potential arrangement being negotiated that could provide for: (a) restoration of the building to the Authority's satisfaction; (b) all costs associated with the property being paid by the tenants; (c) the opportunity of the use of a meeting room in the building as required for Authority purposes; (d) a use compatible With other uses in the area; and (e) future revenue generative opportunities for the Authority. In September 1963, the Authority acquired by expropriation a 100 acre parcel of land in the City of Brampton from Edmund H. and H. Deane Peachey to facilitate construction of the Claireville Dam and Reservoir Project. Situate on the subject land at the date of acquisition were a number of Improvements including a substantial two storey brick mansion. Since receiving vacant possession of this building from the original owners a short time after the date of expropriation, the building has been, at times, vacant, and at other times, rented at a minimal rent on a caretaking basis. The interim arrangements contll1ued over an extended period of time on the assumption that the building would eventually be restored in conjunction with park or golf course developments at Claireville.

The transaction approved by the Members of the Authority is subject to the Authority obtaining the necessary funds to complete the purchase of the property. We have not yet been able to secure the funding. Since this purchase was originally approved, ongoing discussions have been held with officials from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Province of Ontario, regarding using the outstanding compensatory parkland credit that Metropolitan Toronto received from the province in connection with the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital LandslToronto Islands Stewardship transaction. Staff are encouraged by recent discussions with the province regarding the use of these credits. However, in recognition of the recent changes in government, it is unlikely that any decision will occur during the next few weeks. Several extensions to the agreement have been negotiated to date, the latest being to July 31, 1995. The Markovic family and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, who hold a mortgage on the property, have tentatively agreed that an additional extension to September 30, 1995, will be granted on the basis of the earlier deposit of $5,000, being increased to $20,000. FINANCIAL DETAILS While staff are optimistic that an arrangement can be achieved, enabling the parkland credit to be applied towards all or a major portion of the purchase of the subject lands, we are still actively pursuing other revenue sources. Potential funding sources include; municipal funding, provincial funding, land sale revenue, charitable donations from private and corporate sponsors and The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto. Charles Sauriol is also actively fund raising for the purchase of this property. Report prepared by: Ron Dewell, Extension 245 8138 - - EXECUTIVE C OMMITTEE #5/95 JULY 14 , ,1995 - - '" ... .

The property was previously owned by Manville Canada Incorporated who operated an asbestos manufacturing plant on site until the early 1980's. In April 1989, the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MOEE) granted Manville Canada Incorporated approval under Section 45 of the Environmental Protection Act, following Manville's rehabilitation of the lands. This involved the removal of solid waste materials from the northern and eastern areas and consolidating and securing the waste and contaminated materials in the southwest corner of the Manville property. 8142 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2. INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993-1995 (CONTD.) Flood Plain and Conseryation Component Highland Creek and Centennial Creek Watershed, Carma Developers Ltd. The MOEE approval releases the lands for a full range of urban uses. It is now proposed to develop the lands east of the Centennial Creek valley, and convey the valley lands to the MTRCA. Under provisions of the Environmental Protection Act, Manville Canada Inc. continues to be responsible for the long term monitoring and maintenance of the land fill site. Upon registration of the development, the ownership of the land fill site will revert back to Manville Canada Incorporated. The development will be serviced by a storm water management facility to be located in the valley lands of Centennial Creek. A permit pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 is required to construct the storm water facility and is subject to a separate report. An easement will be granted in favour of the City of Scarborough for the maintenance of the facility. Negotiations have been conducted with Kathleen Schofield with Coscan Development Corporation, representative of the owner. The Director for the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the purchase of the property. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

Res. #E79/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report of the Tender Opening Committee and staff recommendations on the award of the contract (No. RS 95-02) for the architectural and structural restoration of the chimney at the Don Valley Brickworks site, be presented to the full Authority meeting on July 28, 1995 for approval. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks was purchased in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto accepted the site for management under agreement with the Authority in 1989. The site consists of 16.5 hectares in the valley of the Don River, located west of Bayview Avenue in the Borough of East York. The site contains an assemblage of buildings formerly used by the brick making industry between 1890 and 1990. In 1993, a revised project was adopted for the regeneration of the site. The new plan addresses the important geological, environmental and cultural heritage resources located there, while working within budgetary constraints. The project includes the retention and preservation of many of the original buildings, and the development of the site for public use and access through the interpretation of geology, natural environment and cultural heritage resources. In March of 1994, the Province of Ontario announced that it would fund the provincial share of the project, being $2,250,000, through jobsOntario. Subsequently, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto approved it's $2,500,000 share of the project. The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto is actively soliciting donations to raise the remaining $500,000. During 1994-95, a number of studies have been undertaken to provide the necessary information to refine the scope of the regeneration work and to initiate the restoration of the existing chimney on site. The investigation to determine the condition of the chimney was completed in December of 1994, by the consulting team of McGillivray-Architect and Halsall Associates. The team subsequently prepared detailed reconstruction plans and specifications with the guidance of the Don Valley Brickworks Technical Steering Committee. 8150 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4.

Res. #E82/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report dated June 5,1995, on Directors and Officers Liability Insurance be received and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be advised that the Authority's insurance coverage is in conformity with the guidelines established by Metro Toronto in Clause No.7, Report No. 14 of the Corporate Administration Committee adopted by Council on April 19, 20, 21, 1995, with the exception that the Authority's limit of insurance is $ 1 ,000,000. CARRIED BACKGROUND Attached, as pages B157-169, is a communication dated April 28th, 1995, from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto advising of a policy and procedure entitled, Risk Management Poliey - Director and Officer Positions Outside the Metropolitan Corporation, and Its Agencies, Boards and Commissions. Staff contacted the Authority's insurance broker, Alexander and Alexander, Reed Stenhouse, asking that they review the Authority's coverage in the context of the Metro Toronto guidelines. A copy of the Reed Stenhouse response dated April 25th, 1995, is attached, as pages B157-169. ANAL YSIS The letter from Ms. Lyne Turmel, Senior Vice President, advises that the Authority complies with Metro Toronto policy with one exception being the Authority's limit of liability is $1,000,000 in each policy year. Metro Toronto recommends a minimum of $2,000,000. In 1994, the Authority requested a Quotation on $3,000,000 limit of liability. The additional premium cost was considered not affordable due to budget constraint. Also, Reed Stenhouse advised that the risk of a successful claim in excess of $1,000,000 was limited. When the policy comes up for renewal in October of 1995, staff will seek a Quotation at the $2 million and $3 million limits.

(77.e Metropolitan Council on April 19, 20 and 21, 1995, amended this Clause by amending the recommendation embodied in the joint report dated March 13. 1995, from the Commissioner of Finance and Treasurer and the Metropolitan Solicitor, by adding thereto the words "and applied to all appointments by Council of Metropolitan Councillors, Metropolitan staff and other citizens to positions on outside boards and organizations .., so that such recommendation shall now read as follows: "It is recommended that the attached policy and procedure, entitled' Risk Management Policy - Director and Officer Positions Outside the Metropolitan Corporation, and its Agencies, Boards and Commissioni, be adopted and applied to all appointments by Council of Metropolitan Council/ors, Metropolitan staff and other citizens to positions on outside boards and organizations.'") The Corporate Administration Committee recommends the adoption of the following Joint report (March 13, 1995) from the Commissioner of Finance and Treasurer and the Metropolitan Solicitor: Puroose: To establish a risk management policy and procedure to apply when appointing Metropolitan Council Members and staff to positions on outside boards and organizations. Recommendations: It is recommended that the attached policy and procedure, entitled -Risk Management Policy - Director and Officer Positions Outside the Metropolitan Corporation, and Its Agencies, Boards and Commissions-, be adopted. Councn Reference/Backaround: At Its meeting on January 26, 1994, Metropolitan Councl amended Oause No.6 of Report No.1 of The Parks, Recreation and Property Committee, entitled -Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum Appointments to Board of Dlrectors-, as follows: "It Is further Fecommended that the CommIssIoner of Finance and the Metropolitan Solicitor be requested to Jointly submit a report to the Management Committee within six weeks' time on the following matters: . -~ -- - JULY 14, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95 S159 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 2 (1 ) whether the Metropolitan Corporation would automatically indemnify or hold harmless its representative on any Board of Directors of an entity which is not an Agency, Board or Commission of the Metropolitan Corporation; (2) whether the directors' and officers'liability insurance held by such entities are satisfactory in terms of: (i) amount of coverage; (ii) type of claims covered (specifically whether the liability for employees' wages are covered); and (iii) whether the insurer must notify the Metropolitan Corporation and its representatives on the Board If there is to be a change in status of the insurance; and (3) whether, if the Metropolitan Solicitor and the Commissioner of Finance are not satisfied with the insurance held by such entities, Metropolitan Toronto's representatives on the board of such entitles should resign." At its meeting on April 6. 1994, the Management Committee considered the joint report (March 21, 1994) of the Commissioner of Finance and the Metropolitan Solicitor as Clause No. 21 (a) of Report No. 13 of The Management Committee which report advised that the Metropolitan Corporation could not provide indemnification or otherwise act as an insurer with respect to representation on outside Boards by its Council members or employees. This report also advised that the development of a policy and procedure with respect to outside directorships required criteria for evaluating the indemnification provisions and insurance coverage. The collection of supporting intonnation from Council members and staff was in process. The final item addressed in this report dealt with whether or not Metropolitan Toronto representatives on outside boards should resign If indemnification and/or insurance was not satisfactory to the Metropolitan Solicitor and the Commissioner of Finance and it was proposed that this issue be addressed in a future report after the policy and procedures had been developed. It was agreed that a further report to CouncD would be made once a review of current directorships had been completed. and the proposed policy and procedure regarding these aspects of outside directorships had been drafted. Discussion: The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto cannot provide indemnification to Its elected officials or employees who serve on outside organizations as officers or directors. It does. however. recognize the contribution such persons make to the community and wil assist all CouncM Members and employees In protecting themsetves from personalllabllty through the establishment and review of Indemnification provisIons and Insurance coverages. Metropolitan Toronto receives requests. from time to time. from various organizations to appoint a Member of CouncI or other senior staff persons to the poslUon of Director on that organization's Board. In our opi lion, It should be the policy of the Metropolitan CorporatIon, with respect to both existing and new positions, that Metro wit not request any Councl member or other staff penson to accept such an awu"lb,JII:Jl1t unless the outside organization has In place satisfactory Indemnification for Its DIrectors. and has purchased Insurance coverage which wll protect the Directors and 0ffIcera of the organization. 8160 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 - SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3 In order to implement this policy, the Clerk's Department will maintain a list of all organizations which have requested appointments. Prior to any appointments being made, this listing will be reviewed and approved by the Treasury Department and the Metropolitan Solicitor as to the adequacy of the organization's Indemnification and Insurance program to protect Its Directors and Officers. Any organization not maintaining insurance or providing indemnification as stipulated will be removed from the list. Any new organization wishing to be added to the list will be required to complete the questionnaire attached to this polley, for review by the Treasury Department and the Metropolitan Solicitor. The Commissioner of Finance and the Metropolitan Solicitor continue to collect Information from outside organization's on which Council members and employees serve as Directors or Officers. It is expected that an Interim listing of the findings of this survey, with respect to Indemnification provisions and insurance, will be available earty in 1995 and will be provided to the Oerk's Department In order to commence the implementation of the new procedure with respect to appointments by Metropolitan Council. If any organizations, existing or future, are found to be without adequate indemnification provisions or insurance, a further report will be made to Metropolitan Council with respect to these specific organizations. Conclusions: The policy and procedure develOped by the Commissioner of Finance and the Metropolitan Solicitor should be adopted by Metropolitan Council and be distributed to all Council Members, Department Heads and other senior staff to inform and guide these individuals with respect to the responsibilities associated with serving as a director or officer of any outside organization and further, to assist in the establishment of reasonable, prudent guidelines with respect to such outside appointments.

Financial Protection You may be entitled to indemnification from the outside organization for any liability you Incur as a result of service to that organization. It is important that not only the indemnification provisions of the outside organization's charter or by-laws be reviewed, but also the financial ability of the organization to actually fund any such indemnity. The outside organization should purchase directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage to provide financial security with respect to the indemnification. It is important that this insurance be reviewed in terms of limit, deductible, and breadth of coverage. It Is possible that this type of coverage will not extend to claims involving bodily injury and property damage, such that additional detaUs concerning the organization's general liability insurance may also be required. A brief description of directors' and officers' liability insurance, along with a general guideline with respect to limits, policy wordings and a partial listing of Insurers which currently write this type of coverage ts provided later In thts Policy.

All individuals serving as an officer or director of an outside organization as defined above are to have this Questionnaire completed by the outside organization. The original completed Questionnaire should be retained by the individual for his/her personal files, with a copy of the completed form and attachments to be forwarded to the Treasury Department, Financial Services DMslon, Risk and Loss Control Section, for review and comment. Legal Obligations The Canadian Business Corporations Act, Section 117 and The Business Corporations Act (Ontario), section 134 each require that: "Every Director and Officer of a corporation in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties shall: (a) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and (b) exercise the care, diligence and skUI that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances." Today's director or officer must be familiar. not only with his or her duties as set out in the Act under which the organization is incorporated. but also about current exposures of the organization on which he or she serves, environmental and tax laws which may impact the organization, new initiatives by govemment with respect to Heatth and Safety Acts, and risk management. Directors may be held to awe duties to the organization, Its shareholders, creditors, statutory bodies and members of the public at large. To better illustrate some of the exposures that a director or officer of an organization might face, the following lists some statutes and the potentialliabUities Imposed by same: Business Corporations Act. 1992 (Ontario) - Directors are jointly and severally liable to the employees of the corporation for all debts not exceeding six months that become payable for services performed for the corporation and for vacation pay accrued for not more than twetve months. Canada Business Corporations Act (Federal) - Directors are )clntly and severally liable to the employees of the corporation for all debts not exceeding six months wages payable to each such employee for services performed for the corporation. Occupational Health and Safety Ad (Ontario) - Directors and officers are liable to a fine and/or Imprisonment for the falure to take all reasonable care to ensure the corporation compiles with the Act and Its RegUatlons (e.g., ensuring a safe wort<place). Envtroll"'wa1 Protection Ad (Ontario) - Directors and officers are liable to a fine and possible \rnprtIonrnem . ttwe .. lalwe to take reeaonabIe care to pw..er4 the corporation from causing or permJttIItg . ~ dMdw'ge "0 the nBIUnII environment vmett. or not the corporation Itself has been proeeCIlt8d or corMcted. ErwtrormenIIII Protection /VA (Federal) - Directors and ofIIcera are liable to a fine and/or Imprisonment for faIure to direct. authartz8. assent to, acquiesce or participate In the commisalon of an offense by the corporation (e.g., the reI.1I8 of a toxic substance Into the environment) whether or not the corporation Itself has been prosecuted or convicted. - 8164 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 - SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 7 Income Tax Act (Ontario); Income Tax (Federal); Unemployment Insurance Act (Federal); Canada Pension Plan Act (Federal) - Directors are jointly and severally liable, together with the corporation, to pay outstanding amounts and interest or penalties fer faHure to deduct, withhold or remit required amounts from employee wages and employer lemployee contributions. Goods and Services Tax (Federal) - Directors are jointly and severally liable, together with the corporation, to pay outstanding amounts and Interest or penattles for failure to remit required amounts. Other statutes of concern could Include: - Retail Sales Tax Amendment Act; - Employer Heatth Tax Act, 1989 (Ontario); - Employment Standards Act (Ontario); - Pension Benefits Act, 1987 (Ontario); - Construction Uen Act (Ontario); and - Ontario Water Resources. There are also other areas that should be of concern to a director or officer such as: - alleged mis-statements in financial repons; - negligence in fulfilling proper administrative functions; - failure to detect and stop embezzlement of corporate funds: - failure to file annual report; - ignorance of corporate books and records; - absence from board meetings; - loss to corporation resulting from acquisitions or expansions; - corporate debts and delinquencies; - transactions between corporations having common directors; and - wrongful dismissal. Not-for-profit organizations are also regulated, either federally, under the Canada Corporations Act, or provincially, under the Corporations Act (Ontario). While these Acts do make some allowances with respect to mitigating liability In recognition of the benevolent status of a director of a not-for-proflt organization, the duties as set out In the Acts are generally similar In many respects to those of a director or officer of a commercial entity. Directors and officers of not-for-proflt organizations are also required to meet the standards of dUlgence and fiduciary duty established by common taw. Some exposures which a not-fer-profit organization's directors and officers might face could Include: - liabUIty associated with the organization or sponsorship of sporting activities In which members of the public are encouraged to participate; - the Issuance of public statements which might give rise to claims fer libel or for negligent mis-statement; - the enforcement of rules or regulations upon the organization's members where It could be alleged that such enforcement Is unfair or discriminatory or Improperty exercised: - mismanagement of funds; and - faUure to Implement proper controls. - JULY 14, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95 8165 -- SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 8 Managing Risk Serving as an officer or director of an outside organization can be a rewarding and worthwhile experience. If duties are performed honestly and in good faith, with proper care and attention, the benefits of such service in terms of personal satisfaction or professional development will far outweigh the risks faced in accepting the role of director or officer. While the legal obligations of a director begin to sound very onerous, these responsibilities are not difficutt to meet if you undertake the appointment conscientiously, using your own good common sense and knowledge of prudent business practices in discharging your duties. Some examples of how you can apply due diligence in exercising your powers and discharging your duties are as follows: - avoid any conflict of duty or interest which includes self-dealing of any kind, particularty in respect of share transactions that are motivated by knowledge acquired as an insider; - use reasonable dUigence to protect and safeguard the property of the organization, including confidential information: - learn about the constitution of the organization and verify in general terms that the organization's business is being managed in accordance with its constitution; - become, and stay, informed generally about the activities of the organization and the industry of which it is part in order to be capable of assessing management's operating plan, particularty the goals, strategies and ability of management to achieve planned goals: - pay particular attention to the organization's financial transactions and any transactions which relate to the issue or reacquisition of shares; - diligently attend directors' meetings or justify any absence in writing (to be embodied Into the meeting minutes, or at least included in the corporate secretary's records); - have any dissent from any action of the directors recorded in writing or, If absent from a meeting, review the minutes at once to determine whether or not a dissent should be made as a follow-up: - pay close attention to any broad delegation of power to one or more officers, partlcularty If the corporation carries on a business: - be reasonably well Informed about all statutes that impose liability on directors In connection with corporate acts, such as labour, tax, securities. competition laws, etc.: - make environmental management part of the business of the organization and ensure that the organization has a written environmental policy that Includes an emergency plan; ensure that environmental matters are dealt with at each meeting of the board of directors and that the minutes of the meeting reflect same: - become and IbIy IlIfooned about the organization's occupstIonaI health and safety matters and ensure compIiInce with applicable legislation; - clearly ascertain your right to Indemnlflcatlon from the organization under Its charter or by~aws: and 8166 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14,1995 - . -- SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 9 - verify that insurance coverage is provided by the organization with respect to not only its corporate operations but also the activities of its directors and/or officers. Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance Directors' and Officers' insurance provides coverage for liability arising from wrongful acts which are defined as meaning any error, mis-statement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect or breach of duty committed in the capacity of a director or officer. This coverage does not apply to dishonest or criminal acts, nor will it pay for fines, penalties or punitive damages. Policy Wordings A 0&0 policy will provide coverage for both the insured organization as well as its individual directors and officers. The coverage for the individual directors and officers covers the cost incurred by those individuals personally where no indemnification is provided by the organization. The coverage for the organization insures the costs it might incur -to reimburse directors under the corporate chaner or by-law. Where a default has occurred, such as a failure to act honestly and in good faith, or in the case of criminal actions. the coverage will not apply, nor can a corporation indemnify an officer or director. The deductible under the policy applies to expenses incurred in providing a defence to a claim against an officer or director or the insured organization. A policy issued to a not-for-profit organization features cenain defence provisions such as the duty to defend, reimbursement for costs incurred before a criminal co un if defence is fully successful, and "first dollar defence- which means that the deductible does not apply to expenses related to defending a legal action. Not-for-profit pOlicies are also more broadly written in that they do not usually specifically exclude coverage for libel, slander or defamation of character, wrongful dismissal or discrimination in employment, bodily injury or property damage or pollution.

GUILDWOOD PARK REHABILITATION KEY ISSUE Council of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has requested that the Authority support the expenditure of $350,000 from the Guild Cultural Reserve Fund for a planning study which would develop a plan and strategy for the future of the Guildwood Park and the Guild Inn and to undertake necessary repairs and improvements to ensure public safety. Res. #E84/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT the Authority support the expenditure of $350,000 from the Guild Cultural Reserve Fund for the preparation of a strategy for the future of the Guildwood Park and the Guild Inn and to undertake the necessary immediate repairs and improvements to the Guild Inn grounds as described in Clause No. 2 contained in Report No. 11 of The Environment and Public Space Committee of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto as approved by Metropolitan Toronto Council on May 31, 1995; AND FURTHER THAT the Chief Administrative Officer of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, be appointed as the Authority's representative on the Guildwood Park Advisory Committee and; THAT The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1978, the Authority acquired the Guild Inn and its surrounding open space lands. Subsequently, Metropolitan Toronto assumed responsibility for the management of these lands, now known as Guildwood Park, in accordance with the master agreement that the Authority has with Metropolitan Toronto. At the time of the purchase of the Guild Inn in 1978, a Trust Fund was established for the purpose of establishing and maintaining recreational and cultural facilities and programs as well as improvements to the lands and premises. The disposition of this Trust Fund was the subject of a lengthy negotiation process with the family of the original owner Mr. Spencer Clark. A settlement was reached in 1992 and the Authority at its meeting #11/92, held January 22,1993, approved the distribution of the funds. The majority of the Fund was transferred to the Treasurer of Metropolitan Toronto on the basis that Metro set up an account to be known as The Guild Cultural Reserve Fund. JULY 14, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95 8171 - . SECTION I-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 8. GUllDWOOD PARK REHABIUTATlON (CONTDJ The Guild Cultural Reserve Fund is to be used for the establishment, maintenance, management or operation of such recreational or cultural facilities or programs at the Guild or for physical improvements to the lands and premises at the Guild or otherwise; as the Council of Metropolitan Toronto and The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority together deem appropriate. Therefore, Authority approval, as well as that of Metropolitan Council, is required before withdrawals can be made from the Fund. The Guild Cultural Reserve Fund currently contains approximately $1,075,000. Since 1978, the Guild Inn and the grounds have been managed through a number of different operating agreements. Currently the hotel and restaurant are operated by a hotel consultant under a management agreement, reporting to the Commissioner of the Parks and Culture Department of Metropolitan Toronto. The grounds are now totally managed by the Parks and Culture Department rather than by the operator of the Inn. Over the past number of years since the acquisition of the Guild Inn, attempts by the various private sector lessees; to improve, upgrade or redevelop the Hotel; to make it more financially viable, have not been very successful. The reasons for the lack of success vary, but there is now a very real need to do some immediate repairs and to start a planning process which will provide for the financial sustainability of the Inn, maintain the grounds in an appropriate way and to develop a long term Master Plan for the Inn and Guildwood Park. To address these needs, staff of the Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture Department have recommended a two-pronged course of action to deal with the immediate needs and the development of a longer term strategy. To address the immediate needs, engineers were retained to investigate the site infrastructure from a building code and public safety point of view. This review was limited to the grounds only and not the buildings. The results of this review identified a number of immediate needs with respect to the parking lots, driveways, electrical services and public paths and stairways. The estimated cost for the repairs is in the order of $250.000. The longer term strategy development and master planning exercise which will involve the Authority, the local community and the City of Scarborough is estimated to cost $ 1 00,000.00 and will commence this fall. The total cost of the remedial work plus the planning studies are therefore estimated to be $350,000. Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture staff have recommended that this amount be financed from the Guild Cultural Reserve Fund. In this regard, Council of Metropolitan Toronto approved the following recommendations at its meeting held May 31, 1995: .. 8172 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 SECTION I-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 8. GUILDWOOD PARK REHABilITATION (CONTD.) RECOMMENDA TIONS: 1) the planning described in this report be initiated; 2) the necessary repairs and improvements to The Guild Inn grounds described in this report be approved; 3) subject to the approval of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, financing in the amount of $350,000.00, necessary to undertake the plan and the necessary repairs and improvements, be funded from the Guild Cultural Reserve Fund; 4) a Guildwood Park Advisory Committee be formed to oversee the preparation of the plan. Representation on the committee will include the Metro Councillor for the area, the Mayor of the City of Scarborough, the Chairman of the Board . of Management of the Guild, staff from the Parks and Culture Department, a representative from each of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and two representatives from the Guildwood Community Association; 5) the Commissioner of Parks and Culture, in consultation with the Chief Administrative Officer, the Metropolitan Solicitor and the Chairman of the Board of Management of the Guild be requested to report further on a new agreement between the Metropolitan Corporation and the Board of Management of the GUild; and 6) the appropriate Metropolitan Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. Authority staff support the recommendations of Council for they not only deal with some immediate public safety needs on the site, they start in motion a process which will result in a much needed strategy for the long term sustainability of the Guild Inn and a plan for Guildwood Park; which will fulfil the needs of the community and restore the heritage and cultural values which have been associated with the Guild Inn for so many years. The proposed Advisory Committee will ensure agency and community input throughout the process and the Authority should be represented. It is recommended that the Chief Administrative Officer of the Authority represent the Authority on the Advisory Committee. Staff also support the financing of the repairs and the planning studies from the Guild Inn Cultural Reserve Fund as these needs meet the criteria set for the use of the Fund. Report prepared by: J.

HYDROGEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION FOR A CONSTRUCTED WETLAND - Retention of Consultant KEY ISSUE Selection of a consultant to undertake a hydrogeological investigation at the proposed site of a constructed wetland. Res. #E88/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the consulting firm of Terraprobe Limited be retained to undertake a hydrogeological investigation at the site of a constructed wetland. AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this contract be limited to the amount of $5.765. excluding applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND Constructed wetlands have been used in the United States to treat contaminated farm run-off for a number of years. There is, however, little information available as to their potential for the same usage in Ontario. This project is one component of a broader undertaking by several Conservation Authorities to examine the potential for constructed wetlands to treat contaminated farm run-off. A constructed wetland is proposed for a dairy farm located in the Town of Caledon. The proposed wetland will be designed to capture and potentially treat contaminated run-off which is currently draining from the farm into Salt Creek, a tributary of the West Humber River. The project constitutes a partnership between the landowner, Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Authority. Prior to construction it is necessary to conduct a hydrogeological investigation to determine the suitability of the site for the facility. The soil must have an adequate percentage of clay to ensure the facility can be designed to contain contaminated liquids in an environmental safe manner. The main objective is to protect the ground water from contamination due to seepage. The normal water table must be below the floor elevation of the facility to avoid premature filling with water and to prevent ground water pollution. RATIONALE Authority staff requested proposals to undertake a hydrogeological investigation from Terraprobe Limited. Peto MacCallum Limited, Golder Associates, Raven Beck Environmental Limited and Intera Information Technologies. The proposals were evaluated on the basis of an understanding of the terms in the Request for Proposal, the consultant's technical approach and methodology, and the ability of the consultant to undertake the work within a tight schedule. JULY 14, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95 8181 -- SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. HYDROGEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION FOR A CONSTRUCTED WETlAND (CONTO.) - Retention of Consultant Detailed proposals were received from all of the aforementioned firms by Authority staff on June 30, 1995. The cost breakdown for each proposal is as follows: Consultant Total $ Terraprobe Limited 5,765.00 Peto MacCallum Ltd. 12,500.00 Golder Associates 14,750.00 Raven Beck Environmental Ltd. 7,512.00 Intera Information Technologies 7,641.56 The proposals were reviewed by Authority staff. The proposal from Terraprobe most closely met the terms outlined in the Request-for-Proposal and was the most cost competitive. On the basis of this, Authority staff concluded that Terraprobe Limited should be recommended to undertake the hydrogeological investigation. FINANCIAL DETAILS Funds for the work are available in account 117-10-343.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At its Meeting #3/95, held May 12, 1995, the Executive Committee, under Resolution #E55/95, received the staff report relating to 41 Springbank Avenue, in the City of Scarborough. Ongoing erosion of the Scarborough Bluffs is an immediate concern to the property owners along the easterly section of Sprin9bank Avenue. In an effort to save the house, the property owner for 41 Springbank Avenue has retained the services of an architect and structural engineer to prepare plans and obtain approvals for the relocation of the house closer to the street, as well as installation of a vertical wall at the crest of the slope. Based on the geotechnical information available, staff believe that there is not an adequate safe building site within the lot that would provide for the long term safety of the structure and occupants, in accordance with the Provincial Shoreline Policy. JULY 14, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95 8183 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 14. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO VALLEY AND SHORELINE REGENERATION PROJECT 1992 - 1996 (CONTD.) - Springbank Avenue, Consultant selection, Lake Ontario waterfront, Scarborough To adeQuately review and assess the relocation proposal, and to assist Authority staff in providing recommendations to the City of Scarborough, a site specific geotechnical investigation is reQuired to assess the feasibility of this proposal by accurately establishing the long term stable crest location and erosion rate, as well as any potential impact on adjacent properties. There is also concern by the adjacent property owner at 39 Spring bank A venue with respect to the present slope stability and the long term safety of the dwelling. The owners of 37 Springbank Avenue have recently sold and new owners have moved in. The geotechnical investigation will include properties Numbers 37 to 41 Springbank Avenue, inclusive. Based on the findings, the consultant will assist in developing a strategy for remedial works for these properties and assist the Authority in reviewing individual proposals under the Provincial Shoreline Policy. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The purpose of the study is to complete a detailed geotechnical investigation and slope stability analysis to provide the information necessary to assist Authority staff in reviewing the proposal for remedial works for 41 Springbank Avenue, and to develop an erosion control management strategy for the other Springbank Avenue properties that are currently considered to be at imminent risk. The geotechnical investigation will include the drilling of two boreholes in the immediate study area, collection and laboratory analysis of soil samples, and installation of a piezometer for groundwater monitoring. An erosion study and slope stability analysis of existing conditions and of alternative remedial measures will be completed. The consultant will provide a recommendation on preferred option for addressing the erosion hazards for this section of Scarborough Bluffs property. Four consulting engineering firms have been invited to submit a written proposal to undertake the study. RATIONALE The preferred approach to the erosion problem along Springbank Avenue is to develop a management strategy for remedial works for several properties or a design block. This approach would achieve the following objectives: - assess the site specific proposal within the context of the management strategy - provide a basis for any recommendation to the Executive Committee - provide input to the Integrated Shoreline Management Plan as this oyerall shoreline strategy is prepared - Springbank Avenue, Consultant selection, Lake Ontario waterfront, Scarborough 8184 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95.

CARRIED The Committee rose from Committee of the Whole. B196 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #5/95, JULY 14, 1995 - . ..- NEW BUSINESS 17. REPORT FROM THE CHAIR, WILLIAM GRANGER Res. #E94/95 Moved by: Lois Hancey Seconded by: Richard Whitehead THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS to the Authority that staff be directed to prepare a report for the next Executive Committee meeting to be held on Friday, August 11, 1995, outlining recommended actions following release of the Provincial Cabinet's expenditure control directives on July 21, 1995. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority receives approximately one third of current budget revenues from provincial ministries. Cabinet has apparently directed each Deputy Minister to prepare program-based cuts to meet expenditure control targets. Cabinet will consider these program cuts next week, with announcements by the Honourable Ernie Eves to be made on Friday. In my opinion, Conservation Authorities have already adhered to major expenditure controls imposed by the previous government. However, more funding cuts are conceivable. The Authority owns and manages vast resources; land, forests, recreation areas, education centres, Black Creek Pioneer Village, a fleet of vehicles and equipment, among others. We would like to be prepared for potential changes in structures or operations, should further funding cuts be imposed. Our assets collectively are far too valuable to quality of life in the Greater Toronto Area to be broken up. I am suggesting that we work with our staff and, potentially, with other agencies, to develop new strategies for funding.

INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 - 1995 -Flood Plain and Conservation Component 1 Highland Creek Watershed -North America Trust KEY ISSUE Lease of a right-of-way for accessing Authority owned property in the Maple Creek Farms area of the West Branch of the Highland Creek, City of Scarborough, under the "Interim Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1993-1995, Flood Plain and Conservation Component Highland Creek Watershed". Res. #E94/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT a right-of-way containing .159 acres, more or less, for accessing Authority owned property in the Maple Creek Farms area of the West Branch of Highland Creek be leased from the North America Trust Company, said land being an irregular shaped parcel being Part of Lot 13, Concession 1, being a portion of the property municipally known as 4000 Lawrence Avenue East in the City of Scarborough, Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, consisting of land situate on the north side of Lawrence Avenue East, west of Galloway Road; THAT consideration is to be the nominal sum of $2.00 plus the vendors legal costs; THA T all reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the transaction including legal costs and disbursements are to be paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all documentation required. CARRIED BACKGROUND In October 1964, the Authority expropriated 37.324 acres of Highland Creek Flood Plain land near Lawrence Avenue East and Galloway Road in the then Borough of Scarborough. Situate on the property at the date of expropriation was a frame structure utilized by the owners to operate a catering business for weddings and banquets, known locally as Maple Creek Farms. Compensation for the expropriation was agreed to by Minutes of Settlement issued by The Ontario Municipal Board. The Authority was required to lease back to the former owners 4.319 acres of the property, including the building being utilized for the operation of the catering business for a period of five years and three months from October 1, 1964. This lease was later extended for an additional year to December 31, 1970. AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8199 - .- SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 - 1995 (CONTD.) -Flood Plain and Conservation Component / Highland Creek Watershed -North America Trust On January 1, 1971 the property was turned over to The Metropolitan Corporation under the master valleyland agreement between the Authority and The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto dated June 14, 1961 and the property continued to be leased by Metro to the former owners. The rental agreement with Maple Creek Farms was terminated by Metro Council and by the Authority at Meeting #5/88, effective December 31, 1988 because the fire department declared the building unsafe. The only direct and safe access to the Authority lands in this area and to Maple Creek Farms was via an unregistered right-of-way across the subject property, municipally known as 4000 Lawrence Avenue East. The right-of-way existed in the form of an agreement between the operators of Maple Creek Farms and the owners of 4000 Lawrence Avenue East. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the lease arrangement. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands. RATIONALE Authority forces and staff from the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto have used this access over the years for the construction and maintenance of erosion control works, sewers and park facilities. It is one of the few areas where heavy construction equipment and materials can be safely brought into the valley, and the right-of-way is considered to be key to the long term maintenance of the infrastructure and management of this reach of the valley system. Attempts to negotiate acquisition of a right-of-way to legalize access with the former owner of 4000 Lawrence A venue East were unsuccessful. The subject property is now under power of sale and the mortgagee; North America Trust has control of the property. They have agreed to lease the Authority and Metro the right-of-way for the period they own it. The lease contains a clause allowing for termination of the right-of-way upon 30 days notice or on closing should the sale of the property take place. It would then be necessary for the Authority to re-negotiate the right-of- way with the purchaser of the property. Also under the terms of the agreement North America Trust have agreed to advise a potential purchaser of the agreement and the Authority's interest in the right-of-way.

INTERIM GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT 1993 - 1995 (CONTD.) -Flood Plain and Conservation Component 1 Highland Creek Watershed -North America Trust In the short term the lease agreement will permit the Authority to carry out much needed channel repairs and Metro Parks and Culture to carry out major repairs to their trail in this vicinity. It is also hoped that this agreement will lead to a long term solution to the valley access problem in this area. FINANCIAL DETAILS The funding of this arrangement will be charged to account code 004-11-502.

RENEWAL OF LEASE WITH THE CITY OF ETOBICOKE FOR A TTc BUS LOOP - Lakeshore Boulevard West and Parklawn Road KEY ISSUE Receipt of a request from The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for approval of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, for renewal of an existing arrangement with the City of Etobicoke for a TTC bus loop at Lakeshore Boulevard West and Parklawn Road. Res. #E95/95 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS: WHEREAS The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is the owner of the lands in the vicinity of Lakeshore Boulevard West and Parklawn Road, forming a part of Humber Bay East Park in the City of Etobicoke, in The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto; AND WHEREAS the subject lands are managed by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, in accordance with the terms of an agreement dated October 11, 1972; THAT the Authority approve of the renewal of the lease with the City of Etobicoke, for a term of 5 years commencing May 1, 1992 and expiring on the April 30, 1997, on a basis similar to the earlier arrangement and as set out in the attached copy of draft lease renewal agreement, prepared by Metro Legal; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to effect thereto, including the obtaining of any necessary approvals and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The lease renewal in this instance is the continuance of an existing arrangement originally approved by the Members of the Authority in July, 1987. Authority staff had considerable input in the discussions between the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Etobicoke, regarding the establishment of this bus loop and all Authority concerns relating to park and waterfront uses and are being accommodated in the tentative agreement. The bus loop has functioned well over the initial period while improving public transit access to the Humber Bay Parks. While the location of this bus loop is in the immediate vicinity of the Authority Motel Strip Project and provisions had been included in the renewal agreement to deal with this issue, it is unlikely now because of the complexities of land acquisition activities, that relocation of the bus loop will be required during the current renewal term.

The mansion is one of a number of buildings situate on the former Peachey property which was acquired by the Authority by expropriation in 1963 to facilitate construction of the Claireville Dam and Reservoir Project. The building has been vacant since 1992 when the Authority terminated an existing caretaking arrangement because the building was deemed unsuitable for occupation unless substantial expenditures for improvements were made by the Authority. Since late 1992 Authority staff has worked with a number of groups attempting to obtain a satisfactory proposal. While a number of other parties expressed a serious initial interest this is the first group which has indicated an agreement to proceed with the expenditures required on a suitable basis. The Authority staff has previously rented land in the Nashville area to the members of the Yeoman Rugby Club and all Authority requirements were satisfactorily complied with in that instance.

DON WATERSHED REGENERATION COUNCIL -Retention of Consultant for Determination of WaterlNature Indicators for Don Report Card KEY ISSUE Awarding of consulting services for the selection of indicators and targets, utilizing the themes of "water" and "nature", to be included in the Don Watershed Report Card. Res. #E100/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Jim Witty IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the consulting firm of Ecological Services for Planning Inc. be retained to conduct an investigation into the selection of "water" and "nature" indicators for inclusion in the Don Watershed Report Card. AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this project be limited to the amount of $10,000.00 excluding applicable taxes. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1994, the Don Watershed Task Force presented its report, "Forty Steps to 8 New Don" (Forty Steps) which was endorsed by the MTRCA. Included in the "Steps" of that document were a number of strategies for ongoing implementation and monitoring to address the vision and principles of regeneration established for the Don River watershed. They included: "Step 39 - Publish a Don Report Card every three years to mark and celebrate progress in the Don's regeneration." The Don Watershed Regeneration Council has established a number of sub groups, one of which is the Watershed Reporting and Monitoring Committee (WRMC). The WRMC has been charged with the responsibility of developing a mechanism and a format for publishing a Don Watershed Report Card. The initial Report Card is scheduled to be published in April, 1996. The WRMC has identified the need for consulting services to identify suitable "water" and "nature" indicators and targets. The Don Watershed Regeneration Council endorsed this approach at their Meeting #6/95, on June 29, 1995. The successful firm will be expected to: (a) develop the indictors and targets for the themes of "water" and "nature"; (b) identify experts and organize an expert workshop on the selection of indicators and targets; and, (c) submit a final report for the WRMC's use in developing the final report card format.

HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED STRATEGY -Hydrology and Hydraulics Update KEY ISSUE To retain the services of a consultant to update the Hydrology and Hydraulics within the Humber River Watershed and to develop a scenario for Storm Water Management within the basin as a component of the Humber Watershed Strategy. Res. #E101/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Jim Witty IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the firm of Aquafor Beech Ltd. be retained to undertake the Humber River Hydrology and Hydraulics Update at a cost not to exceed $44.405.00. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Authority is involved through the Humber Watershed Task Force in the development of a Humber River Watershed Strategy. This Strategy will form the basis for the future management of the watershed and its associated water resources based upon an ecosystem approach. One of the key components in developing these strategies will involve the update of the hydrologic and hydraulic data presently existing within the watershed. The majority of hydrologic and hydraulic information presently in use within the Humber Watershed was developed in the late nineteen seventies and formed part of the information base utilized in the development of the Authority's 1980 Watershed Plan. In addition to the 1979 data, more information from major sub-watershed studies within the basin has been developed, such as those on the Rainbow Creek in Vaughan, the East Humber in the Lake Wilcox area (aPA 129) and the West Humber Sub-watershed Study. These studies have resulted in a mix of hydrologic and hydraulic information being utilized within the Humber River basin. Since 1979, significant changes have occurred and are proposed to occur within the watershed in terms of developments which had not been assumed in the 1979 hydrology study. In addition, updated modelling techniques and a further 1 5 years worth of flow information have resulted in better understanding related to the response of the river system. AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8223 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. HUMBER RIVER WATERSHED STRATEGY (CONTD.) -Hydrology and Hydraulics Update DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Through this component of the Humber River Watershed Strategy, we will be updating our 1979 data and consolidating the sub-watershed studies to develop a comprehensive hydrologic model for the Humber. Future land use scenarios being developed through a separate Land Use Planning Study will be utilized. A comprehensive storm water strategy will be developed to mitigate the affects of future development within the Humber watershed. FINANCIAL DETAILS The funds required to undertake this study have been allocated within the 1995 budget for the Humber River Watershed Strategy. The upset limit for this project was established at $50,000. In keeping with the Authority's procedures related to retaining consultants for such works, three proposals were requested.

" Phase I of the Land Use Planning Study has been completed to the satisfaction of staff. Phase II was deferred in 1 994 because staff did not believe there was sufficient time to undertake proper consultation for developing the future land use planning scenarios. The completion of Phase II is now required. The completion of the Phase II report will assist with the preparation of hydrologic models for the watershed. The hydrologic models will be used to prepare storm water policies and to assist the Authority with it's mandate of floodplain management.

THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM OFFICIAL PLAN -Referrals to Ontario Municipal Board KEY ISSUE Authorization for staff to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on the referrals to the Durham Regional Official Plan and consolidated land development applications. Res. #E103/95 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Brian Harrison IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT staff be authorized to represent Authority interests before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on the referrals to the Durham Regional Official Plan and related consolidated local development applications; THAT staff continue to pursue the resolution of Authority issues in cooperation with relevant parties andlor participants prior to the Hearing; AND FURTHER THAT the Regional Municipality of Durham, and the Towns of Ajax, Pickering and Uxbridge be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND The 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan was approved by the Province in 1994. At this time, several sections of the plan were deferred for further consultation and several sections were referred to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for resolution. From January 1995 to present, Authority staff has been monitoring the outstanding issues affecting MTRCA interests which has included staff attendance and participation at OMS Pre-hearing conferences, discussions with municipal staff and discussions with affected landowners. Of the several issues referred, two directly impact MTRCA programs and policies such that participant and lor party status at the Hearing was reserved. These two property development issues are summarized below. RATIONALE Referral #13: Referral of a 20 ha parcel of land situated on the south side of Bayly Street, east of Pickering Beach Road and west of Shoal Point Road, Town of Ajax. Referred by Hi-Rise Structures Inc.. This parcel of land is almost entirely located within the Regulatory Flood Plain of the Carruther's Creek. A small "island" above the floodline exists immediately south of Bayly Street and is owned by Hi-Rise Structures Inc. and Lebovic Enterprises. This "island" is situated within the Carruther's Creek stream corridor.' The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the entire 20 ha Hi-Rise structure Inc. lands as Major Open Space. The Region has advised that this designation for the entire 20 ha land parcel (which includes flood plain and ESA lands) is consistent with the scale of AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8227 - .- SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM OFFICIAL PLAN (CONTD.) -Referrals to Ontario Municipal Board the Plan and do not agree that the "island" should be identified with a different land use designation. The Region has further advised that if any development potential exists on this "island", it will be determined through amendments to the Town of Ajax planning documents. The owner wants the Durham Regional Official Plan to be modified to permit a high rise residential development on or about this "island". The owner has recently filed applications to redesignate 1.07 ha of the 20 ha site from Open Space to High Density Residential in the Town of Ajax's District Plan A-3, and to rezone this area from Greenbelt-Conservation to Residential R-14 with a site specific exception to permit an apartment building at a density of 124 uph. Their proposal necessitates filling in the flood plain. Subsequent to the second OMB pre-hearing conference of April 21, 1 995, the Board's procedural directions and order did not grant the owner's request to consolidate and hear these recent local development applications with the Durham Official Plan referral at the OMB Hearing scheduled to commence September 25, 1995. It was that panel's position that only matters which have been completely processed in accordance with the Planning Act should be considered for consolidation. Authority staff will review the merits of the local applications in detail once circulated by the Town and will also have to address MTRCA permit requirements. At this time, we have identified conflict between the applicant's proposal and the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Status: Authority staff agree with Durham Region's position that the Regional Official Plan designation of Major Open Space should remain on this subject parcel pursuant to the Region's planning position and because there are apparent conflicts with MTRCA programs, policies and regulations. It is anticipated that MTRCA staff evidence, if required, will be delivered as part of the Region's submission to the Board. Referral #14: Referral of Sections 2 and 14 of the Durham Regional Official Plan as it affects a :t 10 acre parcel of land located at the foot of Harwood Avenue, south of Lake Driveway on the Lake Ontario Waterfront, Town of Ajax. Applications to amend the local Official Plan and to rezone the subject lands have been consolidated with the Regional Official Plan referral. Referred by Hi-Rise Structures Inc.. Both the Regional and local municipal Official Plans and Zoning (Ajax) recognize this site for public waterfront use and although residential andlor commercial uses are not prohibited, all planning documents contemplate or require the proponent to construct a public marina as a condition of development. The applicant has referred the policy condition of the marina to the Board with the intent to proceed to develop the property for residential uses with lesser public use amenities including the deletion of the marina in its entirety. The applicant's proposal is also contrary to MTRCA Waterfront Plans and Projects and is inconsistent with the northern boundary of the Ajax Waterfront open space limits which has been established throughout the Town as being coincident with Lake Driveway. B22S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM OFFICIAL PLAN (CONTD.) -Referrals to Ontario Municipal Board Status: Authority staff agree with the land use designations and policies as outlined within the Region's and Town's planning documents pursuant to their respective planning positions and pursuant to MTRCA programs, policies and regulations. The Hearing on this matter is scheduled to commence in October 1995. It is anticipated that MTRCA staff evidence, if required, will be delivered as part of the Region's andlor Town's submission to the Board. The Town is actively pursuing acquisition of this site. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. On May 24, 1995 Durham Region Council adopted the following resolution: "That the Area Municipalities, Provincial Ministries, and Conservation Authorities be requested to authorize their staff to appear as witnesses before the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on the Referrals to the Durham Region Official Plan in support of the Region's position, where appropriate, and ...." Adoption of this report by the Authority's Executive Committee will respond to this request; specifically, as it relates to referrals 13 and 14 as outlined above but will extend to other issues that may arise where Authority interests may be affected. 2. At Authority Meeting #6/95, held July 28, 1995, correspondence was received from Town of Ajax Mayor Jim Witty regarding Referral #14 which requested that Authority staff be authorized to enter into discussions with the Town of Ajax regarding the MTRCA's participation in the acquisition of the subject site. This request was approved by the Authority and amended to include Durham Region participation (Res. #A 164/95 and #A 165/95). As noted above, staff support the Region's and Town's positions regarding the above and will be discussing acquisition as a resolution to this referral andlor representing Authority interests at the OMB Hearing. 3. The OMB Hearing on the Durham Regional Official Plan is scheduled for September 19, 1995 through to March 1996. The Board has attempted to schedule the Hearing in parts to minimize attendance for parties/participants. It is possible that other matters may arise which require Authority action through the request of the Region or the local municipalities and it is recommended that Authority staff be directed to provide assistance, where appropriate.

COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES - Don Watershed Regeneration CouncillHumber Watershed Task Force KEY ISSUE Use of a consultant to prepare communications strategies for the Don Watershed Council and the Humber Watershed Task Force. Res. #E104/95 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Brian Harrison IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT Barbara McConnell, McConnell Weaver, be retained to develop communications strategies for the Don Watershed Regeneration Council and the Humber River Watershed Task Force at a cost not to exceed $8,000, including all expenses, disbursements and applicable taxes. CARRIED B230 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES (CONTD.) - Don Watershed Regeneration Council/Humber Watershed Task Force BACKGROUND The Don Watershed Regeneration Council and the Humber Watershed Task Force have each identified a need to have a communications strategy in place to assist them in the development and implementation of their communications objectives. These strategies must build community awareness regarding watershed issues and effectively convey: 1. the objectives of "Forty Steps to a New Don" and the work of the Council to implement the strategy within the watershed, the opportunities for participation in achieving the objectives of the 40 Steps, the achievements of the Council, 2. the existence of the Humber Watershed Task Force and its mission to develop a strategy for the future of the watershed, the opportunities to participate in the development of the strategy, and 3. that the Don Council and the Humber Watershed Task Force are Authority initiatives demonstrating its role as community-based watershed manager. WORK TO BE DONE The Authority does not currently have internal expertise to develop these strategies and we, therefore, require external assistance in focusing our activities on specific audiences and recommending the appropriate communications methodology and vehicles; identifying target audiences and determining a program whereby our messages can be efficiently and effectively conveyed. We require a practical work plan for the next 12 months detailing the mechanisms to be used, the skills and staff time required to deliver, and the timing of delivery. We also need a framework within which to set priorities and to evaluate new communications proposals to determine whether or not they should be pursued. It is critical to the achievement of the management and regeneration plans for the Don and the Humber that the Authority have the support and participation of the community. Communications strategies will enable us to use our limited staff and financial resources most effectively and efficiently to identify, contact and involve the key individuals, corporations and groups. AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 B231 SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGIES (CONTD.) - Don Watershed Regeneration Council/Humber Watershed Task Force Staff discussed our requirements with three consultants who were recommended to us by others as having the potential to prepare the necessary, practical strategies at a reasonable cost and within a time frame that would enable us to move to implementation this fall.

BRIEF TO THE GREATER TORONTO AREA TASK FORCE KEY ISSUE There are seven Conservation Authorities whose watersheds are either totally or partially located within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Six of these Authorities have collaborated on the preparation of a Brief to the Greater Toronto Area Task Force. Authority endorsement of the Brief is requested before it is presented to the task force on August 24, 1995. B232 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. BRIEF TO THE GREATER TORONTO AREA TASK FORCE (CONTD). Res. #E105/95 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Brian Harrison IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the Brief to the Greater Toronto Area Task Force, entitled GTA Conservation Authorities Brief to the Greater Toronto Area Task Force, dated August 9, 1995, (Pages 236-258) be endorsed for presentation to the Greater Toronto Area Task Force on August 24, 1995, and; THAT the Chair and the Chief Administrative Officer represent the Authority at the presentation; AND FURTHER THAT copies of the Brief be circulated to all Authority Members and to all of our member municipalities. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Greater Toronto Area Task Force was set up to look at various issues related to the GTA. The task force was originally given a much longer time frame to review and make recommendations on these issues, however with the change in government, their time frame has been reduced to four months. It is important that the task force receive input from the Conservation Authorities as soon as possible. The Terms of Reference for the task force deals primarily with issues of governance, financing and cost effectiveness, however they do require that the system or style of government that is recommended must be founded on an ecosystem approach to all aspects of its operation. The Terms of Reference also identifies the task force objectives for the GTA including, ensuring: economic health and competitiveness; community well-being; and a high quality urban environment. The Conservation Authorities within the GT A have a great deal to offer to the GT A in terms of meeting these objectives and it is important that our message be delivered and incorporated in whatever recommendations are submitted to the government by the task force. The General Managers and Chief Administrative Officer's of the six Conservation Authorities within the GTA; namely, Halton Region, Credit Valley, The Metropolitan Toronto and Region, Lake Simcoe Region, Central Lake Ontario and the Ganaraska Region, prepared a preliminary draft Brief. This was circulated to the Executive Board members of each Authority and a joint meeting of representatives from each Authority was held at the Credit Valley Conservation Authority to review the Brief. Based on the input received from the members present at the meeting, staff have revised the Brief. AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8233 - SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. BRIEF TO THE GREATER TORONTO AREA TASK FORCE (CONTD). It is important that the Brief, when presented, be endorsed by the six Authorities. Each Authority is reviewing the final draft, which has been circulated to Executive Board members, and providing their endorsement prior to the date of the presentation on August 24, 1995. The Brief is broken into three sections: Conservation Authorities and Watershed Management in the GT A; Room for Improvement; and Conclusions and Recommendations. The first section deals with a description of Conservation Authorities, what we do and the importance of managing our natural resources on a watershed basis. The second section identifies three areas where there is room for improvement with respect to the management of the natural resources and environmental protection within the GT A. The third section then makes some conclusions and recommendations. The recommendations contained within the Brief are the most important part of the Brief and by endorsing the Brief we are supporting the recommendations. The recommendations to the Task Force are that: . the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources within the GT A must be part of your decision making; . the watershed is the basic management unit for environmental protection and natural resource management; . the watershed based planning and management is a component of planned growth management and human health; . Conservation Authorities should be confirmed as the agencies responsible for watershed management; . there is a need for a comprehensive approach to the delivery of natural resource management and environmental protection programs utilizing Conservation Authorities as the locally based "one-window" agency; . there is a need for the provincial government to rationalize its water management strategies, with a much greater emphasis on groundwater protection and management; . there is a need for rationalization of the financing of all aspects of watershed management carried out through the Conservation Authorities; . the headwaters, valley and stream corridors and the Lake Ontario and Simcoe waterfronts form the" green infrastructure" of the GT A and their features; functions and landforms must be protected; B234 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. BRIEF TO THE GREATER TORONTO AREA TASK FORCE (CONTD). . the Conservation Authorities within the GT A are flexible and willing to embrace change for the betterment of their watersheds and recognize that, as the structure and governance of the GT A evolves, we will change to meet the demands of the future in a renewed and revitalized GT A. This is an important opportunity for us to influence the decision making process around the future of the GTA. The Conservation Authorities within the Greater Toronto Area have contributed significantly to establishing this region as one where valley and stream corridors, headwaters resources, and Lake Simcoe and Ontario shore lands represent vital and valuable community resources. We want to ensure that the Task Force recognizes the importance of the natural environment in creating the unique and diverse setting that is the Greater Toronto Area and that these rich resources continue to be protected and enhanced as we move into the next century. Our submission is that watershed management is the key to a healthy, high quality GTA and that Conservation Authorities have a unique role to play in achieving these objectives.

This growth is projected to continue into the future. To house and employ this growth will result in continuing land use change and development. The GTA Task Force is charged with making recommendations that will guide the GTA into the 21 st century. The focus of this work is on economic health and competitiveness, infrastructure, municipal management, urban form and municipal finance. The GT A needs a growth management strategy that will not only accommodate the anticipated population growth, but will also maintain its "green infrastructure", the natural web on which the GTA develops and grows. The protection of the form, features and functions of these important natural resources which include the valley and stream corridors, the Lake Ontario and Simcoe shorelines, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and other headwater areas is key to the environmental health of the GTA and must be recognized in any future growth scenario. Identifying the features, functions and landforms that are the components of the "green infrastructure" is accomplished on a watershed basis by the conservation authorities within the GTA. The watershed is the logical, common sense, unit on which to base ecosystem management. It is water that supports and sustains life. Within the watershed "everything is connected to everything else". The conservation authorities within the GTA are making this submission to the Task Force to ensure that the natural environment is "on the agenda" in any discussion relating to the future of the GTA. We recommend to the Task Force that: . the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources within the GT A must be part of your decision making process, . the watershed must be the basic management unit for environmental protection and natural resource management, . watershed based planning and management must be a component of planned growth management and human health, . conservation authorities must be confirmed as the agencies responsible for watershed management, , B238 EXECUTIVE COMMmEE '6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - .- SeCTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMA nON . in order to achieve streamlining and to eliminate duplication of services, a comprehensive approach to the delivery of natural resource management and environmental protection programs must utilize conservation authorities as the locally based "one- window" agency, as proposed in a brief prepared by the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario, for presentation to the Province of Ontario, Restructurina Resource Manaaement in Ontario. · the provincial government must rationalize its water management strategies, with a much greater emphasis on groundwater protection and management, . there must be a rationalization of the financing of all aspects of watershed management carried out through the conservation authorities, . the headwaters, valley and stream corridors, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and the lake Ontario and Simcoe waterfronts must form the "green infrastructure" of the GTA and their features, functions and landforms must be protected, . the conservation authorities within the GT A are flexible and willing to embrace change for the betterment of their watersheds and recognize that, as the structure and governance of the GTA evolves, we must change to meet the demands of the future in a renewed and revitalized GT A. This brief is respectfully submitted on behalf of the Chairs of the conservation authorities within the GTA. We hope that it will assist the Task Force in its deliberations. We look forward to playing a continuing role in the GTA reform process. 2 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 B239 - SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION CONSERVATION AUTHORmES AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT IN THE GTA Who Are We? Conservation authorities are community based environmental organizations responsible for managing natural resources on a watershed basis. There are seven conservation authorities whose combined areas of jurisdiction cover the GTA and beyond. From west to east, we are the Halton Region, Credit Valley, Lake Simcoe Region, Metropolitan Toronto & Region, Central lake Ontario, Ganaraska Region and the Kawartha Region Conservation Authorities. Because our area of jurisdiction is based on the physical limits of the watersheds, as opposed to a political boundary, our jurisdictional limits do not coincide directly with the GTA boundary, as presently defined. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between physical and political boundaries and those areas where watersheds extend outside the GTA. The preparation of this brief has been a joint effort of six of the conservation authorities within the GTA. The seventh, the Kawartha Region, has a very small part of its watershed within the Region of Durham as illustrated in Figure 1 and, therefore, it is only partially within the GTA. Due to the relatively small area within the GTA and the fact that the Kawartha Authority's interests are centred more to the north, they did not participate in the preparation of this Brief. They have, however, reviewed the brief and have indicated their support for the recommendations. Community Based The concept of community based watershed management is unique to Ontario. In 1946, the Province of Ontario enacted The Conservation Authorities' Act (CAA) permitting municipalities within a watershed, or group of watersheds, to form a conservation authority to conserve and manage natural resources. A watershed, under the CAA, includes all of the lands draining into a river system. A conservation authority can be formed only by petition of the municipalities in a watershed; i.e., the local people must initiate the authority. This local initiative ensures local involvement and perspective in the development and implementation of authority programs and projects as well as a willingness to share in the cost at the municipal level. 3 B240 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - .- SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMA nON AGURE 1 MAP ~ -" ..

Local initiative now encompasses "hands on" participation by local groups. Over the last five years, conservation authorities have returned to basics to involve the community, directly, in the work of conservation. This has had a tremendous, positive impact on how we deliver our programs and has brought us closer to the communities we serve. Our cost sharing partnerships now include local and community groups, many providing "in kind" contributions of time and labour, corporations, and committed individuals. We also provide an opportunity for the public and business to support our programs financially through our Conservation Foundations which have raised over $3,800,000 within the GTA over the last five years. Our Vision Each conservation authority within the GTA has developed its own vision or mission statement that reflects the above sentiments as well as their own specific desires based on the needs, objectives and individual characteristics of their watersheds. We share the same vision for the future GTA recognizing that one of the major problems facing us is the issue of growth management and all of the pressures that come with providing for an additional two million people. We understand the need to balance the economic and environmental health of the region and the problems of financing the infrastructure necessary to accommodate the projected growth. Our vision for the GTA is one where: . the watershed is the basic unit for natural resource management; . the -green infrastructure- is maintained, expanded and, where necessary, regenerated : . urban growth is achieved in a sustainable way with dean water, linked green spaces, and healthy communities. We believe this vision is attainable and that, no matter what the GTA ultimately looks like, the achievement of this vision must be a basic building block for the future. We believe that the conservation authorities within the GTA, offer an effective and efficient mechanism to achieve this vision by working with the province, the municipalities and the community. 5 B242 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION Natural resource management and environmental protection must be done on a watershed basis and conservation authorities, no matter what their size, provide the mechanism that brings all stakeholders together to achieve a common goal and allow for the coordination, linking and facilitation that is essential to the management of water and our other natural systems. The Principles of Watershed Management In order to deliver effective watershed management it is necessary: . to conserve ecosystems in a sustainable manner or, where degraded, to regenerate; . to consider the entire ecosystem and all interrelationships amongst components in a comprehensive way; . to effectively incorporate community interest in any watershed management decision; . to ensure management decisions that are consistent with matters of provincial policy and direction; . to ensure simplicity, efficiency and cost-effectiveness; and . to develop and maintain intermunicipal and interagency coordination and cooperation. The Watershed Unit Managing on a watershed basis is fundamental and has become broadly accepted. The management of natural resources takes place most effectively within the context of a natural resource system, an ecosystem. A watershed provides an ecosystem wherein "everything is connected to everything else"; where activities upstream impact on conditions downstream. The authorities' work in conservation and stewardship of renewable natural resources on a watershed basis puts them in the position of technical expert on land-water issues. Because of our unique area of jurisdiction, and recognizing that 6 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 B243 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION natural systems do not follow political boundaries, conservation authorities must work across jurisdictional boundaries and require an understanding of the political complexities of ecosystem management. The management of our natural resources on a watershed basis lends itself to the opportunity to address "jurisdictional gridlock" by enabling one agency to develop and implement natural resource management throughout the watershed. This not only supports an ecosystem approach based on the input of the community, but is more cost effective, accountable and consistent. Watershed Management Loss of life and property due to flooding, erosion or slope instability results from poor management of the watershed, particularly from a lack of understanding of the impacts of human use on natural functions and relationships within the system. In the past, our efforts were directed at assuring our own convenience and benefit; i.e., moving rain waters off the streets as quickly as possible and utilizing valleylands and lakeshores for development to maximize our developable land. These proved to be costly practices which not only directly affected the properties involved, but also degraded our natural resource systems. Dams, channels and erosion control structures provided protection, but continued to alter watershed systems and to affect natural processes within watersheds. We have considerably increased our knowledge and understanding of the way in which natural systems function and of the potential impacts that can occur within these systems when interfered with by human activity. Just as the smoke billowing over a community once represented economic prosperity and would now be viewed as pollution; so too must we realize that the current measure of economic growth - "housing starts" - means a continuing loss of greenfields and continuing pressure on the health of our natural resource systems. The GTA is recognized worldwide for its "green" resources. Economic growth must be balanced with environmental protection to maintain our quality of life. Watershed Strategies A key initiative necessary to move toward a watershed based ecosystem approach is the development and implementation of individual watershed strategies. These strategies involve all stakeholders including municipalities, interested citizens, 7 B244 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/96, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION 11- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION ministries and other public agencies; identify the characteristics and condition of the natural heritage system within the watershed; establish a vision for the watershed; identify the protection, management and restoration requirements and the programs necessary for their achievement; and agree upon the responsibilities for, phasing and funding of implementation. The Waterfront Regeneration Trust in its recent, Lake Ontario Greenway Strateay, states that: .Over the past several years, watershed strategies of varying kinds have bfHm prepared for several tributary rivers (Le., to the Greenway) including the Credit, Don, and Lynde Creek...ln most cases, strategy development is led by the local conservation authority, in partnership with municipalities and local interest groups.... Watershed strategies are intended to outline how characteristics of the watershed (including water, land, and habitat) can be protected and enhanced as land uses change. They also set the stage for the preparation of sub watershed plans, which include further details on water resource management strategies. Subwatershed plans address issues such as stormwater management, and have most frequently been used in association with rapidly developing areas.... Both of these mechanisms have the potential to maintain water flow regimes and significantly improve water quality and habitat connections in waterfront tributaries, and they should be regarded as important planning tools in all watersheds feeding into the Greenway.. With a watershed/subwatershed strategy in place, all stakeholders, including the municipality lies) within the watershed, will have agreed upon which lands are suitable for development and on the performance standards necessary for protection, enhancement and/or restoration of the natural heritage system. The core areas, corridors and connecting links of the natural heritage system are identified as part of the development of the strategy. Maintaining the source areas for the GT A watersheds is a significant component of any watershed strategy. The conservation authorities in the GTA have been strong advocates for the protection of the headwaters of their watersheds in the Oak Ridges Moraine and the Niagara Escarpment. We are partners in the development 8 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 B245 - SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION and implementation of strategies to ensure these vital resource areas continue to provide base flow for healthy watersheds, areas of critical recharge for groundwater, and opportunities for the public to experience and enjoy the quality and diversity of the natural environment. The establishment of the Don Watershed Task Force, in 1992, by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and the work of The Credit Valley Conservation Authority, on a sub-watershed basis, are proving that a watershedlsubwatershed approach can work and can build the type of relationships and partnerships required to move beyond planning and into implementation. As a result of this work, local communities are realizing the importance of good land management to ensure watershed health and that the protection of the renewable resource base is less costly than future remedial and restoration measures. Our Changing Role The role of conservation authorities over the past fifty years has been to prepare and implement plans, on a watershed basis, to address local natural resource management issues. The range of initiatives and their focus varies in response to the natural conditions within the watershed and to the interests and needs of the local community. Within the Greater Toronto Area, a particular challenge is to address the issues associated with the impact of potential land use change on our watershed systems and to ensure that ecosystem values are protected. Good land management is a critical component of effective watershed management. Just as our understanding of watershed management has evolved over the last fifty years, so too has the way in which conservation authorities deliver watershed management. The concentration of the early days on remedial measures specific to solving individual resource management problems; e.g., flooding, erosion, and soil loss, has been replaced by a broader, holistic approach. Conservation authorities do not deliver only floodplain management but rather, an integrated and community based approach to watershed management. Watershed Planning and Municipal land Use Planning Within the municipal planning process, natural resource features such as, river valleys, stream corridors, wetlands, and shorelines have traditionally been considered "constraints to development". The approach taken has been to establish technical conditions that must be met in order to achieve development. 9 B246 EXECUTIVE COMMmEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION The objective has not been to protect our resources but rather to accommodate development, generally at the expense of environmental quality. We acknowledge and support the responsibilities of municipalities with respect to land use planning decisions and the primacy of their Official Plans as foundations for growth and development. Conservation authorities provide valuable input to and comment on municipal planning proposals and provide the environmental component necessary to maintain balance within the future GTA. The lands recognized as natural areas, within the policies of the new Planning Act, are those lands which authorities have historically restored, protected and conserved, and advocated the protection of through the planning process. Conservation authorities have recognized and documented the need to streamline the commenting and approvals process and have been active in developing solutions to serve their municipal and provincial partners and the community in a professional and timely way. The "Memorandum of Agreement" (MOA) is one mechanism being used to achieve streamlining whereby a conservation authority provides comments on planning proposals on behalf of The Ministry of Natural Resources and other ministries. There are many examples of such MOAs within the GTA and throughout the province. MOAs are seen by conservation authorities as an interim measure to a more comprehensive approach to natural resource management reform being advocated by The Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario. This approach is discussed further on in this brief. Conservation Lands - A Public Resource The resource lands that form part of the linked ecosystem include the waterfronts, the river valleys, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and other headwater areas. Figure 2 depicts these resources and their relationships very well. These lands form the "green infrastructure" of the GTA. They provide the natural web on which the GTA develops and grows. The protection of the form, features and functions of these important natural resources is a major component of watershed management. Our ability or inability to protect these resources, will determine the environmental health of the GTA. Conservation authorities in partnership with the community, the municipalities and the province, provide an important mechanism for the protection and management of these important natural features, landforms and functions. 10 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8247. - - - ."-.- SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMA nON - .

Public ownership has been important where the nature of the resource is such that its use would create a risk to life or property or where it is critical to the ecosystem and must remain unaltered to perform its natural functions. Public ownership is also appropriate where public use and appreciation of the resource is an objective. Public ownership has ensured effective resource management and provided benefits of public access and use. Through access to and enjoyment of these lands, the public develops an awareness, appreciation and respect for ecological values. These publicly owned lands provide the valuable greenspace component of the open space system for the GTA, the most populous area in Ontario. Within the built-up area these greenspace lands may be limited to the waterfront and to valley and stream corridors; however, across the GTA they serve as both the "Provincial Park" and "Regional Park" systems. As change continues in the GTA, the existing "green infrastructure" must be maintained and expanded to ensure the balance between economic growth and quality of life. Conservation authorities within the GTA have acquired 24,933 ha (61,565 acres) of land. Our management of these lands is carried out in a manner that values, respects and enhances their natural and heritage resources. We encourage uses that are compatible with healthy ecosystems, respectful of the unique character of the lands and sustainable in environmental, financial and physical terms. Accountability and Governance Conservation authorities are established as corporate bodies, to assure their autonomy in making decisions on a watershed basis; however, an authority's members are appointed by its member municipalities and by the province, giving them the ability and responsibility to represent those interests. At present, membership on the six conservation authorities within the GTA is comprised of the following: 82 municipal politicians 21 municipally appointed citizens 13 provincially appointed citizens 12 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8249 .- SECTION 11- ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION As in municipalities, authority decisions are made in meetings which are open to the public and members of the public can easily access the authority member(s) representing their municipality. Members of the authority who do not fulfil their responsibilities to the satisfaction of the appointing body, can be removed from the authority and replaced. There are adequate mechanisms in place for the accountability of authority members and their decisions, although they may not have been effectively used in the past. Municipalities and the province can ensure the public's interest in the work of the authority by giving their appointees a clear job description prior to making appointments and by giving them clear direction of what is expected of them. Further, appointing bodies should require appointees to provide regular, comprehensive reports. 13 B250 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 16/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT There are a number of improvements to be made in the current system for delivering watershed management. There are both overlaps and gaps that need to be addressed to ensure an ecosystem approach is being taken. There must be, . a review and rationalization of natural resource management programs between the province and conservation authorities, . an overall provincial water management strategy, as well as . rationalization of funding arrangements. Biminating Duplication Conservation authorities have, over the past year, been active in discussing the above issues with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, both specific to the GTA and province-wide. The duplication in program interests exists between conservation authorities and provincial ministries not with our regional or local municipalities. The Conservation Authorities of Ontario have prepared and circulated two documents "Blueprint for Success" and "Documenting the Opportunity" recommending improvements to the delivery of natural resource management services to reduce duplication. As indicated earlier, there are many areas where "one window" approaches have already been put in place to streamline the plan input and review responsibilities of the conservation authorities and provincial ministries. There are also "one window" agreements in place that deal with many other natural resource management and environmental protection regulatory functions. Table 1 provides details on the type and extent of these agreements. An analysis of pilot projects from these examples has demonstrated that, through consolidating approvals at the conservation authority level, there has been a 40 percent saving on the processing costs and a 35 percent reduction in approval times. There is clearly a need for a more streamlined and cost effective approach to the delivery of resource management and environmental protection and to reduce overlap and duplication. Based on the demonstrated success of the pilot projects, The Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario (ACAO) is preparing a 14 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8251 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION TABLE 1 - LOCAL CA/PROVINCIAL AGREEMENTS PARTNERS PURPOSE SIGNED UNDER NEGOTIATION CA-MNR Plan Review 17 8 Transferred to CA CA-MNR Public Lands Act 9 5 Permits Transferred to CA CA-MNR Stormwater Management 12 5 Transferred to CA CA-MNR CA Coordinates Lakes and 6 7 Rivers Improvement Act Permits CA-MOEE Stormwater Management 7 2 Review Transferred to CA CA-MOEE Water Resources Act 11 0 Permit to take Surface Water Transferred to CA CA-MOEE Part VIII 8 1 Environmental Protection Act Permits (Septic Systems) Transferred to CA CA-MOEE CA Implements Clean Up 29 0 Rural Beaches Program B252 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION proposal to the Minister of Natural Resources, Restructurina Resource Manaaement in Ontario, which provides a framework for the change that was advocated in the Blueprint document and outlines a comprehensive approach to the rationalization of natural resource management and environmental protection through a concept defined as "Community Based Watershed Conservation" . Conservation authorities are cost-effective and efficient organizations well suited to provide a "one-window" approach. The proposed restructuring of natural resource management delivery systems will enhance our ability to manage and protect vital natural resources within a growing GTA. There continues to be a lack of coordination between those issues associated with surface water and with groundwater. The interrelationship between these systems and their interdependence have become issues in the discussion of the impacts of new development and, also, solid waste management. Contamination of groundwater is not only a serious concern for community water supplies but also for the integrity and health of our surface watershed systems which are fed by groundwater. Current provincial policies and responsibilities for water-related issues are spread across a number of ministries and the new government needs to review how it is organized to ensure water quality and quantity requirements into the future. Improving Service Delivery The brief Reformina the GTA, presented to the Task Force by the Regional Chairs of Durham, Halton, Peel and York, looks at service delivery and states: Some services (e.g. parks and recreation) are amenable to significant diversity and local variation. Other services (e.g. welfare, policing) lend themselves to broader standardization...the degree of diversity or standardization simply depends on the nature of the particular service being considered. The size of appropriate catchment areas is a function of this diversity/standardization... Achieving optimal service delivery and management "economies" also requires an institutional "form" that features differing catchment areas. Economies of scale may suggest that a given service should be delivered at a regional or GTA-wide catchment are, in order to limit unit costs. Diseconomies of scale associated with too large a catchment area...may suggest service delivery via a locaL. catchment area. 16 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8253 - SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION Conservation authorities are continually reviewing their organization and structure to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of watershed management programs. Recent initiatives have identified opportunities to share certain common functions. particularly in the area of administrative services, which are not watershed-specific. Since the passing of The Conservation Authorities Act in 1946. there have been a number of authorities formed and, as a result of changing community needs and interests. reorganized. The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority was formed in 1957. replacing four smaller authorities: the Etobicoke (1946). later including the Mimico; the Humber (1948); the Don (1948); and the Rouge-Duffin-Highland-Petticoat (1954). This union permitted a broader perspective to renewable resource management and a more substantial financial base. In 1963. the Sixteen Mile Creek CA(1956), Twelve Mile Creek CA (1958). Grindstone Creek, Joshua's Creek and thirteen other watercourses within Oakville and Burlington joined together to form the Halton Region Conservation Authority. These are only two examples of the type of boundary and jurisdictional changes that conservation authorities have undertaken and that will be considered to continue to imp(ove the delivery of watershed management. What is critical is that watersheds be managed on a watershed basis. The grouping together of watersheds to achieve administrative efficiencies can be achieved in any number of ways. The Conservation Authorities Act contains provisions to accomplish changes in grouping and it has been used, as demonstrated above, for this purpose. The municipalities within the watershed, or group of watersheds, have the ability to determine and implement the most appropriate administrative delivery system. Budgets and Financing Conservation authorities were formed on the basis of the "user/beneficiary pays" principle, The management of renewable natural resources on a watershed basis benefits the residents of the local community by their protection from the risks of flood, erosion or slope instability and by the quality of life which they enjoy. Good management of individual watersheds, cumulatively, contributes to provincial and federal objectives and commitments for protecting, maintaining and improving the Great Lakes system. Where goods or services are provided to individuals. user fees are charged. 17 B254 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - .- SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION For the six conservation authorities within the GT A, the 1994 total operating budget was approximately $38,000,000. This funding was raised as shown in Figure 3. SOURCES OF FUNDING 1994 OPERATING $38,000,000 G:O%J Figure 3 18 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8255 SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION There has been a significant shift in the proportion of conservation authorities' funding derived from the province, the municipalities and individual fees over the past fifteen years reflecting substantial reductions in provincial grants and, as a result, a corresponding reduction in municipal contributions. Conservation authorities rely more and more on the generation of revenues from the sale of goods and services. As you can see from Figure 3, these revenues now constitute over 30 percent of our total funding. Municipal funding for conservation authorities is based on the use of discounted equalized assessment, calculated by the province. This is used in conjunction with a calculation determining the percentage of the specific watershed(s) within the municipality and an assumption on the population within that area. The total municipal funding for the operating budgets of the six conservation authorities within the GTA is approximately one percent of the municipal property tax base. Based on the population within the GTA this amounts to a municipal levy of $3.50 per capita spending on watershed management but excludes individual tax payer contributions through their provincial taxes which are spread over the entire province. The current use of watershed area, population and some measure of municipal assessment, to determine the municipal financial commitment to watershed management is a fair measure of the benefit to the local community and should be continued. The current use of discounted equalized assessment should be reviewed to make sure that it is the most appropriate measure of municipal assessment for the distribution of operating costs. This review would have to take into account any proposed revisions to the municipal property taxlassessment system. In terms of provincial support, there has been a shift from grant supported programs, through the Ministry of Natural Resources, to funding of the direct delivery of programs, on behalf of a number of provincial ministries, by authorities. This has often skewed authorities' budgets towards provincial priorities, rather than the local perspective that was intended. There is a need to maintain provincial funding but to make it more flexible to ensure that local community resource management needs can be addressed. Greater flexibility in the use of provincial grants will ensure that local watershed community needs can be addressed while still ensuring that provincial interests are achieved. 19 8256 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE '6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION Funding is a critical issue not only in terms of providing good watershed management but in all public services. We recognize that seeking more money on the basis of existing roles, responsibilities and funding arrangements, is not the way to deal with these issues, but rather that we need to look for opportunities to simplify service delivery, reduce overlaps and duplication and make sure that we are providing a value added service. We believe that through the much needed rationalization of natural resource management delivery and through the elimination of duplication in the existing systems, substantial savings to the overall level of public expenditure can be achieved. We strongly support the concept of "user/beneficiary pays". We have, and will continue to, identify where costs for service delivery should be bourn by an individual user/beneficiary. The main beneficiaries of watershed management, however, continue to be the residents within the watershed and those within the Great Lakes basin. A cost sharing partnership between provincial and municipal governments, based on this concept, is an appropriate mechanism by which to determine funding support. 20 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 B257 SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS We believe that, to achieve the stated objectives of the Task Force. it is essential that the management of our natural resources and the protection of our environment not be lost in the discussion of municipal structure, financing and community involvement, for they are inextricably linked. No agency or group can accomplish its objectives in isolation. Contemporary watershed management involves many people. This is particularly true if we are to achieve the strategies which are, and will be, developed to protect the watershed ecosystems that we envision shaping the future management of the natural heritage resources of the GTA. Conservation authorities have the watershed jurisdiction, local involvement and cost sharing partnerships to develop and implement an ecosystem approach to the management of the natural environment. We have the experience of past management practices and have gained in our understanding of the natural processes, functions and interrelationships to guide our future decisions. We have made a direct contribution to the quality of the environment in the GTA and look forward to contributing our expertise to ensuring that our quality of urban life continues to be ranked amongst the highest in the world. The purpose of this brief and our presentation is to bring to the attention of the Task Force the importance of the natural environment and its management to the future of the GTA. We have identified areas for improvement and the key role that conservation authorities play in managing and protecting our natural resources. We have discussed how conservation authorities provide a unique mechanism for bringing together the province, the municipalities and the community, regardless of the ultimate political configuration of the GTA, to achieve a common goal, the protection, management and, where appropriate, regeneration of our natural resources on a watershed basis. To achieve our vision of the GTA and to assist the Task Force in its deliberation, we make the following recommendations on behalf of the Chairs and members of the Halton Region, Credit Valley, Lake Simcoe Region, Metropolitan Toronto & Region, Central Lake Ontario and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authorities. 21 B258 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95, AUGUST 11, 1995 - .- SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION WE RECOMMEND TO THE TASK FORCE THAT: · the protection of our environment and the effective management of our natural resources within the GT A must be part of your decision making process, . the watershed must be the basic management unit for environmental protection and natural resource management, . watershed based planning and management must be a component of planned growth management and human health, . conservation authorities must be confirmed as the agencies responsible for watershed management, . in order to achieve streamlining and to eliminate duplication of services, a comprehensive approach to the delivery of natural resource management and environmental protection programs must utilize conservation authorities as the locally based "one-window" agency, as proposed in a brief prepared by the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario for presentation to the Province of Ontario, Restructurino Resource Manaoement in Ontario, . the provincial government must rationalize its water management strategies, with a much greater emphasis on groundwater protection and management, . there must be a rationalization of the financing of all aspects of watershed management carried out through the conservation authorities; . the headwaters, valley and stream corridors, the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and the lake Ontario and Simcoe waterfronts must form the "green infrastructure" of the GTA and their features, functions and landforms must be protected, . the conservation authorities within the GTA are flexible and willing to embrace change for the betterment of their watersheds and recognize that, as the structure and governance of the GT A evolves, we must change to meet the demands of the future in a renewed and revitalized GTA. 22 AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8259 - .- SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13.

CFN: 27368 Application #: 151 195/MISS For information contact: Richard Lloyd (extension 281) Date: 1995.08.01. (B) Charles Baker To alter a watercourse on Part Lot 10, Concession 3, (13700 Dufferin Street, Temperanceville), in the Township of King, Humber River Watershed as located on property owned by same. The purpose is to alter a waterway by creating an off-stream pond in a former on-stream pond site, adjacent to a tributary of the East Humber River. In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: (1) Proposed Off-Stream Pond Plans; prepared by Charles Baker; Drawings 1, 2, 3 and 4; received by MTRCA July 25, 1995. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: AUGUST 11, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #6/95 8261 - SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 13. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways ProDosal: The applicant wishes to create an off-stream pond in a portion of a previous on-stream pond site. The earthen dam of the former pond washed out in 1993 and has remained empty ever since. The pond area is part of a provincial class 2 wetland, known as the Eaton Hall lake Wetland Complex. The original proposal consisted of creating a by-pass pond, with the existing stream flowing through the new pond, and filling the remainder of the old pond wetland in its entirety. Staff were concerned with this concept since it entailed the destruction of the wetland. Through negotiations with the landowner, it was agreed that the majority of the wetland will remain undisturbed with the exception of a new earth berm needed to create the off-stream pond at the southeast quadrant of the old pond site. The existing streamflow will be temporarily diverted to fill the new pond with water. This will be the only interference with the existing channel of the watercourse. The remainder of the channel, adjacent to the proposed earthen berm, will be protected during construction. The Authority presently has no registered fill lines at this site and the subject watercourse drains an upstream area greater than 125 hectares. Control of Floodino: Although this watercourse drains greater than 125 hectares, there is presently no flood plain mapping delineating the limits of the Regional Storm flood plain. However, staff feel that flood flows will not be impeded, nor affect upstream or downstream lands, since the majority of the originally proposed fill placement has been eliminated. Pollution: The creation of the off-stream pond will begin with the installation of sedimentation control fencing between the proposed berm and the watercourse. Fill material for the new berm will be placed, compacted, graded and immediately seeded with a rapid growth, native seed mixture, followed by being completely covered with a biodegradable erosion blanket. The sediment fence will remain in- place until the entire berm has been vegetated. Conservation of Land: The entire berm, as well as any disturbed area adjacent to the watercourse, will be planted with native trees and shrubs suited to the wetland conditions at this site and that are also found throughout the Eaton Hall Lake Wetland Complex. Policv Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4,2,2.(E) - Property Improvements and Ancillary Structures - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways ProDosal: Through the south limit of the subject property, there is a well-defined ravine feature which connects to the main West Don River valley. This ravine is bisected by a filled and culverted driveway crossing. In 1989, a top of bank was walked to determine the development limit for a proposed plan of subdivision. The top of bank limit was established at this driveway crossing. The subdivision was approved in 1992 by the Ontario Municipal Board. The applicant is proposing to fill in the isolated section of the ravine in accordance with this subdivision approval. The remnant ravine feature is approximately 100 m long and a maximum of 4 m deep. There is drainage external to the subdivision lands currently running through the ravine from an existing storm outfall. The storm pipe is to be extended to the end of the filled area. The existing external storm drainage and the drainage from the proposed subdivision (catchment area of approximately 4.5 ha) is to be treated by an oil-grit separator (Storm Septor). Stormwater quantity control is not required for this development, The Town of Richmond Hill is requiring that a pedestrian trail be constructed by the developer from the proposed subdivision to link with an existing trail on the west side of the West Don River. This trail will involve some regrading on the valley slope and a bridge crossing. Staff are supportive of the concept of a trail at this location; however, alignment and construction details have not been finalized and will be the subject of a separate permit application. Control of Floodino: There will be no construction or filling in the flood plain. Pollution: A combination of silt fencing and check dams will be used to control sediment during filling. During construction and development of the subdivision, there will be a temporary sediment pond located in the remnant valley. Conservation of Land: ESA 71 is located immediately to the north of these lands. Efforts have been made through the subdivision review process to protect the continuum of vegetation through this section of the valley corridor of the West Don River. The main valley slopes are densely vegetated and will not be disturbed except at the site of the ravine filling and future trail. The construction area in the valley will be minimized and all disturbed areas restored in accordance with an approved landscape plan.

An urban road cross-section with storm sewers is proposed for the section between McCowan Road and the Rouge River. The remaining section will retain a rural cross-section with ditches. Water quantity control will be provided for the McCowan Road to Markham Road section through an existing stormwater management pond that-was designed to take the Steeles Ave. runoff. There is currently no water quantity control proposed for the new road from Markham Road to the Rouge River; however, there may be opportunities to provide some control at the site of two proposed "wetland" facilities. Water quality treatment is to be provided through the use of oil-grit separators (Storm Septor and Storm King) and at the two proposed "wetland" facilities. Quantity and quality control are not specifically required for the remaining section of the road that will retain the rural cross-section, although proposed permanent check dams in the ditches will provide some benefit, In October of 1994, a permit was issued by the Authority to construct the road crossing for Steeles Ave. at Petticoat Creek (permit #C-94217). Three additional major road crossings (Morningside Creek, Rouge River, Little Rouge River) and three storm outfalls (two on the Morningside Creek and one on the Rouge River) will require permits. Prooosal: Morningside Creek Outfall In order to facilitate the widening of Steeles Ave. between McCowan Road and Tapscott Road, a new storm outfall, which is the subject of this permit application, is to be constructed, and will drain road runoff to a tributary of the Morningside Creek. This outfall is to be located on the east side of Markham Road at the most upstream limit of the tributary channel. The channel has been previously straightened and lined with riprap. A dense growth of cattails has colonised the channel and currently acts to retain sediments, resulting in some water quality benefit.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Six Storm Septors are to be installed along this section of the road widening to provide water quality treatment, and the on-line storm pond downstream of the outfall (referred to above) at Markham Road will provide quantity control. This control is a requirement of the City of Scarborough under the Markham/Scarborough Drainage Agreement. Control of FloodinQ: The storm runoff is to be conveyed to the existing storm pond which will retain the flows to pre- development levels from the 2 year to 100 year storm. Pollution: The outfall will be constructed in the dry and sediment fences will be erected to prevent sediment from entering the Morningside Creek. Policv Guidelines: The proposal is in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to maintenance and upgrading of Infrastructure and Servicing (Section 4.3). In addition, the proposal is in compliance with the final Environmental Assessment Report completed for the Steeles Widening project.

(See also, Item #17, page B321 of these minutes), Res. #E111/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT Clause 4 of Resolution #A31/95, adopted at Authority meeting #1/95, held on February 24, 1995, be amended to read as follows: (4) The purchase price be $175,000. payable to Shore Breeze Motel Limited, plus their legal costs from January 1, 1994 to March 24, 1995 in the amount of $16,682.17, together with additional legal fees and planning fees, for the re-zoning process, in connection with the transfers and quit claims of the riparian rights and parts and passage of the by-law, Official Plan or any amendment thereto, not to exceed an amount of $40,000. CARRIED BACKGROUND Please refer to Authority Resolution #A31 195, adopted by the Members of the Authority at meeting #1/95, held on February 24, 1995. Since the adoption of Resolution #A31 /95, as the Members are aware, protracted negotiations have continued on the Motel Strip, While a tentative agreement had been arranged when this matter was earlier presented to the Members of the Authority during February, an executed agreement in final form was only received by Authority staff on August 28, 1995. A copy of the executed agreement which has been provided to the Authority in escrow will be available at the meeting. The reason for the delay in obtaining an executed agreement in this instance and the subject of the intense negotiations which have been ongoing since February, related to the reluctance of the Authority and its financial partners in this transaction, to have the transaction conditional upon the owners obtaining commercial zoning of the lands being conveyed to them. It has now been agreed by the owners in lieu of the Authority paying the additional costs as noted in the recommendation contained in this report, the lands will be conveyed to the owners on an as is basis. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8,1995 8286 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 3. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (CONTD.) -Shore Breeze Motel Limited (Butwell) Accordingly, upon receipt of the remaining required approvals of the City of Etobicoke and the Province of Ontario and upon the issuance of the required Order-In-Council, this transaction can be closed immediately. While it is noted that the increase in costs in the final agreement is substantially in excess of the earlier estimate provided during February, it should be noted that until March 26, 1995, the Authority was paying reasonable legal costs in instances where meaningful negotiations were in progress and the Members of the Authority on March 31, 1995, authorized payment of costs of mediation including payment of reasonable costs of legal, planning and appraisal advice to assist the mediator in order to attempt to achieve additional property settlements. While in some instances, substantial costs could be incurred with no settlement at hand, in this instance a firm settlement has been achieved with the amount compensation being fully resolved for all Authority requirements, RATIONALE The Authority under this transaction is acquiring riparian rights on Lake Ontario across approximately 80 linear feet, The completion of this transaction which includes resolution of private, crown land and property boundary issues allows the Authority to obtain title to the crown land in front of this private property to meet the public amenity objectives of this project. FUNDING DETAILS Funding for this project is available under Account Number 208-40-512, Etobicoke Motel Strip.

SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan KEY ISSUE Status report on sale of Authority-owned lands to 970545 Ontario Limited. Res. #E113/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the report dated August 29, 1995, concerning the status of the sale of surplus Authority lands located at the north east corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, in the City of Vaughan, be received; THA T the closing date for completion of this sale, on the basis as set out in the report, be extended to no later than June 30, 1997; THA T the Purchaser be advised that no further extensions will be granted; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to arrange for the execution of any necessary documentation. CARRIED BACKGROUND Please refer to Authority Resolution #A 120/95, adopted by the Members of the Authority at meeting #4195, held on May 26, 1995, Resolution #E39/95 and #E40/95, adopted at Executive Committee Meeting #3/95, held on May 12, 1995. In accordance with the direction of the Authority, representatives of 970545 Ontario Limited launched the required application to the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Vaughan to attempt to obtain the minor variance required to finalize the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law to the satisfaction of the Authority and obtain the required authorization, to install a sales pavilion on the surplus Authority property to begin the required pre-selling, advertising and marketing campaign. The required application was before the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Vaughan at a meeting held Thursday, August 17, 1995, at which time the Members of the Committee decided that the subject application should be adjourned to the next regular meeting scheduled for September 14, 1995. The adjournment resulted from a submission by the solicitor for United Parcel Service, to the effect that the City had made an error in the information contained in the public notice. United Parcel Service is the Authority neighbour to the east, who had opposed the earlier application that finally resulted in removal of the lands from the Parkway Belt and established a basis for development of the property as a Seniors Development. The representative of United Parcel Service has advised the purchaser that United Parcel Service will again be objecting to any form of residential development at this location. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 8292 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND (CONTD.) -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan The purchaser still feels that the revised development concept as set out in the appended staff report dated 1995.05.03, is feasible and marketable, if a reasonable extension can be secured to allow sufficient time for the appropriate approvals of the City of Vaughan and the Ontario Municipal Board to be obtained and sufficient time for two seasons of pre-sales to be carried out. A tentative proposal for an extension has been arrived at as a result of extensive meetings involving the principle and his consultants which includes in addition to earlier terms and conditions the following components: (a) The Purchaser, 970545 Ontario Limited, is to pay to the Authority an additional non- refundable deposit on the purchase price in the amount of $25,000.00, payable $5,000.00 on or before September 29, 1995 and additional instalments in the amount of $5,000.00, to be payable in advance on the 1 st of each of the months of November, December 1995 and January and February 1996; (b) Approval of the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Vaughan to the current application, must be obtained on or before December 31, 1995, failing which the agreement may be terminated by the Authority; (c) With respect to any appeals of the decision of the Committee of Adjustment for the City of Vaughan, approval of the Ontario Municipal Board must be obtained on or before June 30, 1996, failing which the agreement may' be terminated by the Authority. (In this regard, it is anticipated that United Parcel Service will be appealing the City of Vaughan approval); (d) Upon receipt of the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board on or before June 30, 1996, whichever shall first occur, 970545 Ontario Limited is to pay the Authority an additional non-refundable deposit to be credited to the purchase price in the amount of $75,000.00 and closing is to be one year after the approval or June 30, 1997, whichever is earlier; (e) 970545 Ontario Limited is to provide to the Authority a commitment letter from a chartered bank or any other lending institution approved by the Authority, confirming that it will lend to 970545 Ontario Limited an amount sufficient to complete the purchase of the property, the terms and conditions of which commitment letter must be satisfactory to the Authority solicitor; (f) Any sale material, agreement or documents for the selling of the property or any units or interest therein by 970545 Ontario Limited will provide that all monies received by 970545 Ontario Limited from any prospective purchasers, etc., will provide for these monies to be held in trust until completion of the particular transaction and not be used for construction, in the same manner as if this was the sale of a new condominium unit and the provisions of the Condominium Act, as currently in force, regarding deposits applied. (g) 970545 Ontario Limited is to pay interest on any outstanding portions of the purchase price from September 29/ 1995 until the closing date, calculated at 2 1/2% per annum., payable on the closing date; 8293 SEPTEMBER 8, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5. SALE OF SURPLUS AUTHORITY LAND ICONTD.) -North East Corner of Jane Street and Steeles Avenue, City of Vaughan (h) Messrs DiLorenzo, Langer, Little and Weston are to enter into an indemnity agreement with the Authority whereby any claims made against the Authority by any suppliers of services or materials to 970545 Ontario Limited or any consultants engaged by 970545 Ontario Limited in connection with this property or any persons entering into agreements to 970545 Ontario Limited to lease, occupy or purchase any interest in the property, all in a form satisfactory to the Authority solicitor. (i) 970545 Ontario Limited to be allowed a maximum of two selling seasons, i.e, spring and fall, upon obtaining approval of the Ontario Municipal Board, to proceed with the development, such selling seasons not to go beyond June 30, 1997; (j) No further extensions will be granted by the Authority. As noted in earlier reports, 970545 Ontario Limited has arranged successfully for removal of the Authority lands from the Parkway Belt and has achieved the current zoning and official plan status which would have allowed the assisted Seniors Government Funded Project as originally envisioned to proceed. During the earlier hearings, United Parcel Service objected every step of the way and the purchasers were forced to deal with many objections and as noted above, similar delays can be expected in the future whether we deal with the present purchaser or others, The City of Vaughan was very supportive of the development as originally proposed and is supportive of the amended concept. The purchaser and his development team will be in attendance at the Executive Committee Meeting and are prepared to make a short presentation.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Bank of Nova Scotia declined, in writing, to submit a proposal on the basis that they could not be competitive. ANAL YSIS The details of the three proposals received are summarized on Schedule" A". Costing of the proposals for the entire five year period is presented on Schedule" B". Each schedule also compares the proposals to the existing contract with the Royal Bank, These schedules are presented as separate and confidential items, Where assumptions are required on the level of activity they remain constant for all proposals. All three proposals received have met the terms and conditions as set out in the tender document. Staff are confident that any of the three banks would provide reliable, complete and professional services, The Royal Bank has submitted the lowest cost proposal for the operation of the accounts and provision of related services, net of interest paid to the Authority on cash balances: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 B302 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 9.

There are times, depending on market conditions including factors such as the prime rate, when this may benefit the Authority, However, to ensure access to a wide variety of investment alternatives and competitive rates, it is recommended that investment accounts be maintained at several institutions, in addition to the accounts the Authority currently maintains with the Royal Bank of Canada and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RBC Dominion Securities. FINANCIAL DETAILS In comparison to the existing contract, the Royal Bank's proposal will achieve a savings of approximately $46,000 over the five year term or $9,200 annually, For information contact: Rocco Sgambelluri, extension 232 B303 SEPTEMBER 8, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10.

All reasonable expenses incurred incidental to the closing for land transfer tax, legal costs and disbursements are to paid; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute any documentation required, and obtain any additional approvals required. CARRIED BACKGROUND Negotiations have been conducted with Morris Iwasykiw, and officials of Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc, and their solicitor Bob Onyschuk of Smith, Lyons Barristers and Solicitors, This property was also the subject of a mediation session before a member of the Ontario Municipal Board which was of assistance in the arranging this tentative agreement. Morris Iwasykiw is one of the officers of Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. The interests of Grenadier Gardens Limited in this property were recently conveyed to Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. The Commissioner of Planning for the City of Etobicoke in a report dated August 29, 1995, commented as follows, with respect to density transfer at this location: "3,1.3, Morris Iwasykiw & Grenadier Gardens Limited (Z-2176) and Prombank Investments Limited (Z-2178) On March 27, 1995, both applicants filed Official Plan and zoning amendment applications to extend the density transfer provisions of the Plan to lands within the Amenity Area and Waterfront Drive right-of-way not currently provided density. The applications would result in 26 additional units on the Iwasykiw site and 29 additional units on the Prombank site. The owners have also objected to by-law 1994-197 on the basis that a density transfer is not available for their sites, They argue that a transfer should be allowed since the public agencies are requesting dedication of existing dry land and waterlots for the amenity area, B305 SEPTEMBER 8, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 10. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (CONTD.) - Trident Food and Chemical Enterprises Inc. A fundamental principle of the secondary plan is that density may be transferred from privately owned submerged waterlot areas and lands within Waterfront Drive right-of-way and Amenity Area when these are dedicated to the MTRCA, Schedule C of the plan (Development Limits) shows an area within the west end of the Motel Strip where density transfers are currently contemplated. The by-laws gave effect to the transfers by designating a transfer area, and by assigning specific unit totals to the portions of each property north of Waterfront Drive. However, the subject lands were not historically identified for density transfer. Staff have reviewed this matter further and agree that a density transfer is appropriate. Permitting a transfer would be consistent with the principle of providing an incentive for dedication of privately-held lands for public purposes, There is no dispute respecting ownership, and the dedication would secure both submerged waterlot and dry land areas for the Amenity Area and Waterfront Drive. Staff are therefore prepared to recommend amendment to Schedule C of the plan, and By-law 1994-197 to reflect the revised transfer areas and the increased unit potentials available on these parcels, on the understanding that the transfer areas will be dedicated to the MTRCA to form part of the Amenity Area. Construction of the units will remain subject to the urban design policies of the Plan and the specific built form requirements of the By-law. The transfer area would be limited to a maximum density of 165 uph (as are the other transfer areas to the west); therefore the total number of units available on these parcels would increase from 170 to 225 (133 on Prombank and 92 on Iwasykiwl. It is noted that the Plan currently provides for approximately 2960 residential units. While the plan can be interpreted to provide a degree of flexibility, staff are of the view that the unit cap should be revised to reflect the current unit total found in the by-laws and the units proposed by Iwasykiw and Prombank, Staff recommend that the cap be revised to accommodate '3110 units (i.e. 1047 units in By-law 1994- 149 and 2063 units in By-law 1994-197)", A copy of the agreement as executed will be available at the meeting for the information of the Members of the Executive Committee, The form and content of the agreement is consistent with other signed agreements earlier approved by the Members of the Authority relating to this project. RA TIONALE This property is located within the acquisition boundary of the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park and represents another major acquisition under this project. It is respectfully submitted that the proposed acquisition is fair and reasonable and is recommenced for approval by the Members of the Executive Committee.

BACKGROUND Negotiations have been conducted with officials of John Andrew Investments Limited and Petro J. Developments Limited and Prom bank Investment Limited and their solicitors Jane Pepino of Aird & Berlis and A,S, Pacevicius of Pacevicius, Cord. In addition to obtaining executed agreements from the registered owners in this instance, it has also been necessary to obtain an executed agreement from Prombank Investment Limited as they are in the midst of foreclosure proceedings, The Commissioner of Planning for the City of Etobicoke in a report dated August 29, 1995, commented as follows, with respect to density transfer at this location: "3,1.3, Morris Iwasykiw & Grenadier Gardens Limited (Z-2176) and Prombank Investments Limited (Z-2178) On March 27, 1995, both applicants filed Official Plan and zoning amendment applications to extend the density transfer provisions of the Plan to lands within the Amenity Area and Waterfront Drive right-of-way not currently provided density. The applications would result in 26 additional units on the Iwasykiw site and 29 additional units on the Prom bank site. B309 SEPTEMBER 8, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 11. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK (CONTD.) -John Andrew Investments Limited and Petro J. Developments Limited and Prombank Investment Limited The owners have also objected to By-law 1994-197 on the basis that a density transfer is not available for their sites, They argue that a transfer should be allowed since the public agencies are requesting dedication of existing dry land and waterlots for the amenity area. A fundamental principle of the secondary plan is that density may be transferred from privately owned submerged waterlot areas and lands within Waterfront Drive right-of-way and amenity area when these are dedicated to the MTRCA. Schedule C of the plan (Development Limits) shows an area within the west end of the Motel Strip where density transfers are currently contemplated. The by-laws gave effect to the transfers by designating a transfer area, and by assigning specific unit totals to the portions of each property north of Waterfront Drive. However, the subject lands were not historically identified for density transfer, Staff have reviewed this matter further and agree that a density transfer is appropriate. Permitting a transfer would be consistent with the principle of providing an incentive for dedication of privately-held lands for public purposes. There is no dispute respecting ownership, and the dedication would secure both submerged waterlot and dry land areas for the amenity area and Waterfront Drive, Staff are therefore prepared to recommend amendment to Schedule C, of the Plan, and By-law 1994-197 to reflect the revised transfer areas and the increased unit potentials available on these parcels, on the understanding that the transfer areas will be dedicated to the MTRCA to form part of the Amenity Area. Construction of the units will remain subject to the urban design policies of the Plan and the specific built form requirements of the by-law. The transfer area would be limited to a maximum density of 165 uph (as are the other transfer areas to the west); therefore the total number of units available on these parcels would increase from 170 to 225 (133 on Prombank and 92 on Iwasykiw). It is noted that the plan currently provides for approximately 2960 residential units, While the plan can be interpreted to provide a degree of flexibility, staff are of the view that the unit cap should be revised to reflect the current unit total found in the by-laws and the units proposed by Iwasykiw and Prombank. Staff recommend that the cap be revised to accommodate 3110 units (i.e, 1047 units in By-law 1994- 149 and 2063 units in By-law 1994-197)". Copies of the agreements as executed will be available at the meeting for the information of the Members of the Executive Committee, The form and content of the agreements is consistent with other signed agreements earlier approved by the Members of the Authority, relating to this project. RA TIONALE These two parcels are located within the acquisition boundary of the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park and constitute two additional acquisitions under this project. It is respectfully submitted that the proposed acquisition is fair and reasonable and is recommenced for approval by the Members of the Executive Committee.

DON WATERSHED REGENERATION COUNCIL -Retention of Consultant for Determination of Community/Getting it Done Indicators for Don Report Card KEY ISSUE Awarding of consulting services for the selection of Don Watershed Report Card indicators and targets, according to the themes of "community" and "getting it done", and to suggest frameworks for the final report card. Res. #E120/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Jim Witty IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT the consulting services of Pat Ohlendorf-Moffat be retained to conduct an investigation into the selection of "community" and "getting it done" indicators for inclusion in the Don Watershed Report Card and to suggest frameworks for the final report card. AND FURTHER THAT the cost of this project be limited to the amount of $8000.00, excluding applicable taxes, subject to confirmation of availability of provincial grant. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1994, the Don Watershed Task Force presented its report, "Forty Steps to a New Don" (Forty Steps) which was endorsed by the MTRCA. Included in the "Steps" of that document were a number of strategies for ongoing implementation and monitoring to address the vision and principles of regeneration established for the Don River watershed. They included: "Step 39 - Publish a Don Report Card every three years to mark and celebrate progress in the Don's regeneration," The Don Watershed Regeneration Council has established a number of sub groups, one of which is the Watershed Reporting and Monitoring Committee (WRMC). The WRMC has been charged with the responsibility of developing a mechanism and a format for publishing a Don Watershed Report Card, The initial Report Card is scheduled to be published in April, 1996, The WRMC has identified the need for consulting services to identify suitable "community" and "getting it done" indicators and targets. The Don Watershed Regeneration Council endorsed this approach at their Meeting #6/95, on June 29, 1995, The consultant will be expected to: (a) develop the indicators and targets for the themes of "community" and "getting it done"; (b) participate in the presentation of proposed indicators and targets at an expert workshop and a series of community workshops throughout the Don Watershed and incorporate comments received; and c) submit a final report, including recommended "community" and "getting it done" indicators and a framework for organizing the overall report card, B313 SEPTEMBER 8,1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12. DON WATERSHED REGENERATION COUNCIL (CONTD.) -Retention of Consultant for Determination of Community/Getting it Done Indicators for Don Report Card RATIONALE A review of previously published State of the Environment reports and Report Cards from other jurisdictions revealed that the "community-related" indicators tended to be limited to socioeconomic factors, such as housing availability, crime rate, and quality of life, which would fail to reflect many of the objectives of "Forty Steps to a New Don". Therefore, Authority staff and members of the WRMC determined that the investigation into "community" indicators would need to be based on a good understanding of the Don watershed community, itself, and of the directions set out by "Forty Steps to a New Don", Considering the absence of good models for this kind of work, Authority staff and members of the WRMC felt that Pat Ohlendorf-Moffat would be the most appropriate individual to assist us with this work and the selection of indicators for the theme "getting it done", for the following reasons: . she has developed an understanding of the Don watershed community through participation in many of the community meetings, held during the preparation of "Forty Steps to a New Don"; . she is very familiar with the Don Watershed and directions of "Forty Steps", as she prepared the final report; . she has demonstrated her ability to synthesize complex issues, throughout the development of the" Forty Steps" report; and . she has demonstrated excellent oral and written communications in her previous work with the Authority. Ms, Moffat will proceed with these discrete phases of work to an upset limit of $8000.00: 1 , Background Review and Research 2. Recommendation of Community and Getting it Done indicators and targets for review by members of the community, the Don Regeneration Council and other agencies. 3. Compilation of all indicators into an overall Report Card framework. Staff will authorize Ms. Moffat to proceed with each phase, based on the successful completion of previous phases. This selection process conforms with requirements of the Authority's Purchasing Policy. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 B314 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Policy Guidelines: Authority staff previously expressed concern through the Environmental Assessment process and preliminary design process with the location of eastern entrance. The original proposal from the TTC was to locate the structure on the east side of Leslie Street in an area of significantly higher flood risk. Although the original position put forward by Authority staff was that the entrance be located outside of the regional floodplain, the TTC had serious concerns related to both technical and operational issues to locating the entrance further west to alleviate all flooding concerns. As part of ongoing negotiations for the design and construction of the station with the adjacent landowners and Authority staff, the current location has been selected in a section of the floodplain with minimal velocity and depths less than 1 metre to offer a reasonable compromise between flood protection and accessibility issues. The proposed location has been shifted as far west from the watercourse as feasible in order to allow access from the interchange at Leslie and Sheppard. Moving of the entrance any further west would result in its elimination due to the proximity to the main entrance. Through the involvement in the Environmental Assessment process, Authority staff is prepared to support the development of this eastern entrance. The redesigned entrance does not result in loss of valleyland features, forms and functions.

Highland Creek Trail Phase II. Trail Alignment; prepared by Gartner Lee; Project 95-220; Drawings D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5; received September 6, 1995. RA TIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture is proposing to construct a 3 metre wide asphalt pedestrian trail in the Highland Creek valley south of Lawrence Ave, The trail will be connected to an existing trail which goes to the north, and will extend almost to the lakeshore forming part of a regional trail system. The lakeshore connection will be made following the completion of the Integrated Shoreline Management Plan, There is significant informal trail use of this valley corridor. A formal trail will assist in controlling public access and protecting the significant features. The valley corridor through this reach has been identified as an Environmentally Significant Area (ESA # 74). A dominant feature of this ESA is a provincially significant wetland complex. As well, there are several rare plant species and a unique floodplain forest community. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 B342 - SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 18. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways The trail is to be located on the west side of the valley. With the exception of an area where the watercourse abuts the valley wall, the trail is located a minimum of 15 meters from the watercourse, and avoids the wetland areas, rare species and heavily forested areas. The trail is proposed to be aligned around the toe of an eroding valley slope where it meets the watercourse, The slope is to be graded back to a stable 2.5:1 incline and the toe will be protected with armourstone and river run stone. Several trees are to be removed to accommodate this work. However, these trees are already threatened because of the existing slope condition. Control of Floodino: Because the trail is to be constructed at grade, and the slope is to be graded back, flood depths and velocities will not increase, Pollution: A sediment barrier will be erected along the edge of the watercourse at the site of the slope work. All work will be undertaken under dry conditions, Conservation of Land: A portion of the proposed trail is located on lands owned by the Authority. Prior to construction, an archaeological investigation will be conducted by our staff. During construction of the trail and the toe protection and slope works, a minimum 4 metre wide construction easement will be required. This same width will be used for the final trail design, During the construction phase any overhanging trees will be pruned or tied back to limit the need for tree removal. A staging area to the north of the slope will be required. This area, as well as the regraded slope and any other disturbed areas will be restored with shrubs, trees and mulch mat following construction. Portions of the existing informal trails will be planted to discourage their use and to restore the riparian area, Policv Guidelines: The proposed trail alignment was selected following the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement required by the Ministry of Natural Resources through the Wetland Policy Statement. At Authority Meeting #5/92 on June 26/92 the following resolution (Res, #82) was approved which gave support in principle to this section of the Highland Creek Trail: "That the Master Plans for the West Humber, Highland Creek and North Humber Trail Extensions as proposed by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Property Department be approved."

To place fill within a regulated area and to alter a watercourse on Lots 1, 2 and 3, Registered Plan 65M-2909, (Highway #7 and Hillside Drivel. in the City of Vaughan, Don River Watershed as located on property owned by same, The purpose is to alter a watercourse in order to provide erosion protection to three existing lots and to regrade in a Fill Regulated Area. In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: (1 ) Lot Grading and Cross-Section Plans; prepared by G. M. Sernas and Assoc. Ltd.; Project 8707; Drawings G1 and G2; both dated revised July 31, 1995. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: To undertake terrafix erosion protection works in the channel of a tributary of the West Don River and to remove, regrade and engineer fill material in a vegetated area in order to provide erosion protection to three existing residential lots, This application represents a modification of MTRCA Permit C-0634 issued in 1988 to a previous owner - Sumovi Investments Ltd, as discussed below. Control of Floodino: The proposed regrading works involve removal, compaction and replacement of unconsolidated material within the flood plain. Staff have established an updated hydraulic model for this tributary and confirm that no net impact on flood levels will result as past development grades will match proposed grades. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #7/95, SEPTEMBER 8, 1995 B344 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 18. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Pollution: Sediment controls including silt fencing and a temporary on stream sediment basin will be constructed as part of the sediment control measures. These have been reviewed and found acceptable to staff. Conservation of Land: The site in its present state consists of unconsolidated fill material. As a result of this a geotechnical report was undertaken by the previous applicant which identified the need for erosion protection and the compaction of the existing fill material. Staff concur with these recommendations, The channel banks have established extensive riparian cover and this will be re- established and expanded upon completion of the grading works. Policv Guidelines: The previous owner of this property, Sumovi Investments Ltd., obtained a permit approval from the Authority in 1988 to remove and regrade the fill material and construct channel protection works in order to allow the creation of residential lots through draft plan of subdivision. The works were never undertaken; however, the lots were subsequently registered and the requirements of the approved works incorporated into the subdivision agreement, now registered on the title of the lots. The subject lands have now changed ownership. Based on the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, modifications of this nature to corridors to create new lots would not be supported by staff. However, as the lots have been previously created and registered and in view of the past permit approval granted by the Authority to carry out erosion protection at the rear of these lots, staff are prepared to support this proposal. Given that the lots are now registered, the proposal has been reviewed as erosion control works to protect existing development (lots of record) - Section 3,3.3. of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. On this basis the proposal complies as it will re-establish riparian vegetation and natural bed material while providing for erosion protection and stable rear yards.

DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS REGENERATION PROJECT (CONTD.) -Building Restoration (Initial Phase) BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks was purchased in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto accepted the site for management under agreement with the Authority in 1989. The site consists of 16.5 hectares in the valley of the Don River, located west of Bayview Avenue in the Borough of East York. The site contains an assemblage of buildings formerly used by the brick making industry between 1890 and 1990. In 1993, a revised project was adopted for the regeneration of the site. The new plan addresses the important geological, environmental and cultural heritage resources located there while working within budgetary constraints. The project includes the retention and preservation of many of the original buildings, and the development of the site for public use and access through the interpretation of geology, natural environment and cultural heritage resources. At meeting #3/95, the Water and Related Land Management Advisory Board adopted Res. #W47/95: "THA T the Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Master Plan dated May 5, 1995 be approved; THA T Authority staff direct the consultants to finalize Phase 2, Design Deve/opment and Phase 3, Contract Documents; AND FURTHER THA T staff be directed to approach The Canadian Pacific Railways to explore options for potential future use of the railway right-of-way for future parking on site. " Phase 2, Design Development, was completed in July, and detailed specifications were subsequently completed in August for Buildings 8 and 13. A large scale copy of the map will be available at the meeting. RATIONALE The detailed specifications were completed in August 1995 for Buildings 8 and 13. Since these buildings are primarily steel structures-, it was felt that work could commence this fall without the weather impacting restoration efforts. The work will include a structural and painting component. The remainder of the buildings are predominantly constructed of brick masonry and it was felt that restoration efforts should be commenced in the spring. The tenders for Buildings 8 and 13 were released September 13, 1995 and closed September 25, 1995. The tender for the remainder of the buildings is scheduled to be released in January 1996.

Throughout most of 1995, Authority staff, in consultation with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture Department, and with the direction of SHAL Engineering Consultants, prepared detailed plans for two viewing platforms that would function as a portion of a self-guided park nature interpretive trail. The interpretive trail, which is intended to provide environmental education and awareness to interested park users, will form a connection between the two created park wetlands. One platform will be located at the large inland wetland, south of the waterfront trail, with the second platform to be located at the boat basin wetland, Both viewing platforms will provide opportunities for public observation and education about migrating and resident bird species, created habitats and wetland ecosystems. Tenders were publicly advertised for the construction of the two viewing platforms. The work generally includes the construction of two wood decks with benches and handrails, each 63 square metres in size, which are to be built on concrete caissons, with the option of incorporating a ramp and floating platform with one of the structures. Three pricing options were incorporated into the tender. In Option A, the contractor would supply and install one ramp and one floating platform, as well as, fully construct the viewing platforms. In Option B, the contractor would supply one ramp and one floating platform, and only construct the foundations for the viewing platforms. In this option, the MTRCA would complete the wood work portion, as well as, install the ramp and floating platform. In Option C, the contractor would fully construct the viewing platforms only.

STATUS Referral #13 Relates to a 20 hectare parcel of land owned by Hi-Rise Structures Inc. located on the south side of Bayly Street, east of Pickering Beach Road and west of Shoal Point Road, Town of Ajax, situated almost entirely within the Regulatory flood plain of the Carruthers Creek and within Environmentally Significant Area #113, the Carruthers Creek Forest. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/95, OCTOBER 13, 1995 B384 SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM OFFICIAL PLAN (CONTO.) -Status of Referrals to the Ontario Municipal Board A 1.07 hectare portion of the 20 hectare parcel of land is located within the stream corridor but is above the Regulatory flood plain and outside the Environmentally Significant Area. The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the entire 20 hectare parcel of land as Major Open Space and Waterfront and advise that this designation is consistent with the scale of the plan in the regional context. Authority staff supported the Region's position in this designation. The owner requested the referral identifying that the 1 .07 ha of land should be redesignated to permit a high rise residential development. Their development plans also showed encroachment into the flood plain. The Region of Durham and the proponent negotiated a resolution to the referral prior to the commencement of the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing on September 25, 1995. The agreement consists of a letter of undertaking signed by the Region of Durham's Commissioner of Planning setting out that the designation is approximate and that if any development opportunity exists, it will be determined at the local level (having regard to all required approvals) and that exact boundaries shall be defined in the Ajax ,District Plan and Zoning By-law without requiring amendment to the Regional Official Plan. To this end, Hi-Rise Structures Inc. has withdrawn this referral thereby eliminating the need for Authority staff attendance at the Durham Regional Official Plan Ontario Municipal Board hearing on Authority issues related to this matter. Staff will review the merits of local development applications and/or MTRCA permit applications if/when received in accordance with approved Authority Programs and policies and report further as required. Referral #14 Relates to a ::t: 10 acre parcel of land owned by Hi-Rise Structures Inc. located at the foot of Harwood Avenue, south of Lake Driveway on the Lake Ontario Waterfront, Town of Ajax.

" 8389 OCTOBER 13. 1995. EXECUT1VE COMMJTTEE .8195 SECTION /I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 16. BRUCE CREEK REHABILITATION PROJECT - PHASE I (DESIGN AND COSTING) (CONTD.) Authority staff has confirmed the following contributions from the partners with respect to this project: Rouge Alliance $ 4,000 Town of Markham $ 4,000 MTRCA $ 4,000 Property owner $ 3.000 Total $15.000 Since the 1960's, Bruce Creek just north of 19th Avenue, in the Village of Almira, has been dammed, creating a 4.5 hectare pond on the LeGrice property. The pond provided a combination of open water and wetland habitats which supported a variety of wildlife species, plant communities and a warm water fishery. The pond was also a community amenity providing opportunities for skating and fishing, and aesthetic appeal. The dam and pond also acted as an instream barrier and contributed to a degraded aquaticecosystem. Large barriers, such as this dam and berm, obstruct the migration of fish populations, preventing them from reaching spawning areas and summer and winter refuge. Pooling of water behind a barrier increases the water temperature by increasing the surface area exposed to the sun and by reducing the water velocity. As water temperatures increase, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases, giving rise to lower levels of dissolved oxygen. The build up of sediments in online ponds disrupts the natural channel development downstream and can detrimentally affect the riparian vegetation and the aquatic habitat. In the spring of 1994, the berm at the Almira pond failed and the pond emptied. Since that time, the Creek has eroded through the sediments that were previously deposited in the pond, creating a new str~am channel. The existing stream has cut down approximately three metres into the pond substrate, at the deepest point, and appears to be actively eroding upstream towards the northern limit of the LeGrice property (- 300 metres). The unstable banks are continuously collapsing and the water transports large amounts of sediment downstream. In the fall of 1994, Mr. LeGrice, the owner of the property, approached MTRCA and MNR staff to discuss options to restore the site. It was eventually agreed that there may be opportunities to rehabilitate the watercourse to meet the objectives of the Rouge River Fisheries Management Plan, and provincial and federal policy while meeting the objectives of the landowner and community. In this regard, MTRCA staff has worked with the Town of Markham, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Landowner to draw up a terms of reference for a study which will result in a number of preliminary design alternatives and associated costing for rehabilitation of the stream. The rehabilitation project has been divided into two phases: Phase I is design and costing; and Phase II is construction. .

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant proposes to widen an existing valley pathway below the Clarence Street bridge and create a longer radius for the bend in the trail exiting the bridge. The combination of a narrow path under the bridge and the sharp turn in the asphalt trail immediately south of the bridge creates a hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists. Several accidents have occurred in the past due to the blind curve in the pathway at this location. The entire site is located within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Etobicoke Creek. Control of Floodino: Less than 80 cubic metres of fill material will be needed for the widened and realigned walkway. The majority of this fill material will be required at the upper end of the trail (ie. connection to the existing trail leading to Meadowland Drive and Clarence Street) to decrease the walkway gradient to 8% for wheel chair accessibility at this junction. The remainder of the new trail will be counter- sunk into the valley floor. Fill depths will not exceed 0.5 metres above the existing ground elevations. Pollution: The in-water work area beneath the bridge will be isolated by a cofferdam and dewatered so that construction can be completed in-the-dry. Silt fencing will be installed between the work site south of the bridge and the Etobicoke Creek to prevent the migration of sediment-laden runoff during construction. A rock checkdam will be installed within a drainage ditch adjacent to the pathway work. Conservation of Land: All filled and disturbed areas along the realigned trail route will be revegetated upon completion of final grading. All disturbed portions of the riparian zone will be rehabilitated with native trees and shrubs. Policy Guidelines: The proposal complies with Section 4.2.2 (H) - Existing Resource-based Uses - of the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program.

The purpose is to place fill to widen and extend the existing driveway to the lower rear yard area of the property, within the Regional Storm flood plain and Fill Regulated Area of the Humber River. In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: (1 ) Site Plan and Elevation Drawings; submitted by the applicant; received September 13, 1995. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant proposes to widen and extend the existing driveway to the lower backyard area of the property. The application has been submitted to resolve an existing violation under Ontario Regulation 158 (File V-1433). Following a site meeting between Authority staff, the applicant and contractor, an agreement was reached to cut back and remove approximately half of the placed fill material. The removal of fill will eliminate an encroachment on the adjacent Authority-owned Humber Trails property and reduce the amount of fill located within the Regional Storm flood plain of the East Humber River. The difference in elevation from the top of the driveway to the rear yard is 2.4 metres. The flood plain only affects the toe area of the extended driveway. Control of Floodino: The western end of the driveway is located within the Regional Storm flood plain. Originally, it was estimated that 6 cubic metres of fill had been placed below the flood elevation. Based on the revised proposal, 3 cubic metres of fill will remain within the flood plain. Staff feel that no adverse affects will result from this amount of fill placement. Pollution: No sedimentation is expected during regrading of the site. The work site is 50 metres away (ie. east) of the river channel. Conservation of Land: The sideslope of the filled area will be revegetated with staked sod and left to naturalize. The surface of the driveway will consist of granular material. There is no valley feature evident on this site. 8397 OCTOBER 13.1995.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Pollution: Construction of the culvert will be undertaken in the dry (periods where there is no flow in the tributary). A pump system and bypass culvert will be in place as backup systems in the event of a storm. Conservation of Land: The proposed crossing will occur within an existing woodlot. In consultation with the proponent's consultant and staff from the City of Vaughan, Authority staff have undertaken an extensive review of design options for the proposed crossing which will minimize vegetation loss and maintain fish habitat while meeting City engineering standards. The original design called for a 42 metre long culvert with 3: 1 graded road embankment sideslopes. As a result of design changes, the sideslopes were steepened to 2: 1 and the culvert length reduced to 40 metres. This will result in the preservation of 23 additional trees. The sideslopes will also be planted with tree and shrub 'nodes' to allow for natural vegetation to reestablish on the embankment slopes. The embankment slopes will not be cut by City staff and the area will be allowed to regenerate naturally. The culvert will be countersunk below the existing stream invert in order to allow the preservation of natural bed material Policy Guidelines: The proposed crossing complies with the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.3 - 'nfrastructure and Servicing. The design recommendations have been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources pursuant to the Don Watershed Memorandum of Agreement.

A clear-span bridge will cross the watercourse, with the abutments setback a minimum of 5 metres from the river channel. As part of an agreement between the developer to the west of the valley and the City of Vaughan, Fiston Holdings Limited will be constructing the pathway and bridge for the City. The valleylands at this site are owned by the City of Vaughan. The trail alignment will be located within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the West Don River. Control of Floodino: Fill material for the trail has been minimized in an effort to match existing grades within the flood plain. The majority of the trail route will be counter-sunk, with the exception of the approach ramps on either side of the proposed pedestrian bridge. Fill depths at these locations will not exceed 0.5 metres above the existing ground elevations. Pollution: Silt fencing will be installed between the work site and the West Don River to prevent the migration of sediment during construction of the new trail. No in-stream work will be necessary for the installation of the proposed pedestrian bridge over the West Don River. Conservation of Land: The existing valley wall west of the watercourse had been previously disturbed by the installation of a sanitary or water forcemain across the valley which has now been abandoned. The new trail will utilize this cleared area along the west valley wall. There is no valley wall evident to the east of the river. All filled and disturbed areas along the trail route will be revegetated upon completion of final grading.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: Landscaping and earthworks are proposed at two locations on the Doctor's House Restaurant property which is located Southwest of Islington Avenue and Nashville Road in Kleinburg. The property is located within and adjacent to the well-defined valley of the Humber River. A ravine feature which forms part of the Humber valley slope topography runs east to west and bisects the property. The restaurant, church, gardens and other buildings are located north of this ravine feature. An asphalt parking lot is located south of the ravine on a tableland promontory. This parking lot is connected to the main restaurant area by a bridge. West of this parking lot and south of the ravine is a woodlot. Work is proposed in the ravine and woodlot as follows: Ravine: Approximately 250 cubic metres of fill is proposed within the upper reach of the ravine from the existing bridge to approximately 30 metres west to the existing restaurant building limit. The fill will be supported at the west limit by a 4 metre high, tiered rock retaining wall which will be landscaped and have a "waterfall" feature as well as a pathway along the tier. The fill will allow for the expansion of the asphalt parking lot (creating about 50 new spaces) and allows for improvements to the existing loading/disposal area of the restaurant. Drainage is accommodated through a 1200 mm diameter csp proposed at 5% grade. White stone will be placed on the floor of the ravine downstream of the retaining wall. 8411 OCTOBER 13. 1995. EXECUT1VE COMMITTEE #8195 SECTION " - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 18. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Trail: Existing gardens to the west of the restaurant are planned to be connected by a proposed arched pedestrian bridge across the ravine (downstream of the retaining wall) to a proposed nature trail through a portion of the woodlot. The trail will be carefully routed to avoid and minimize tree removal and to complement existing topography. The trail "loops" back to the bridge; however, may in future connect to a public trail on adjacent lands proposed by the applicant to be conveyed to the Authority. The trail will be surfaced with wood chips or limestone screening and be approximately 1 metre wide. Benches will be located along the trail where feasible. The retaining wall, bridge and trail support scenic photo opportunities for the significant wedding business accommodated at the Doctor's House Restaurant. Control of Floodino: No work is proposed within the Regulatory Flood plain (which does not encroach on the property). Pollution: Sediment control measures, including siltation fencing and check dams will be used during construction. The direct discharge of sanitary effluent and garbage that were affecting this ravine feature were remediated by the applicant approximately 3 years ago when he redeveloped the Doctor's House Restaurant. Conservation of Land: The original redevelopment plans required the retention and rehabilitation (planting) of the ravine feature through the site. These plantings were never completed and the applicant is now proposing the work described above. Approximately 30 metres at the upper end of the ravine feature would be lost by filling. These earthworks have been reviewed by engineering staff and are technically satisfactory. The balance of the ravine is well vegetated and will be protected. Policv Guidelines The trail is in compliance with the MTRCA Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program - New Resource-based Uses. The earthworks in the ravine are property improvements (landscaping to support the wedding component of the operation) and expansion of development (parking lot and loading/disposal improvements). This component of the work is more extensive than was generally contemplated in the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program; however, staff is recommending approval as the affect on conservation of land is minimal. The proposed improvements will correct an awkward and unsightly service delivery area which could not be properly addressed at the time of the building construction. After careful consideration, staff has concluded that the proposal will enhance the overall aesthetics of the site in a manner consistent with its spectacular location at the crest of the Humber valley.

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Proposal: The applicant wishes to reconstruct the existing, deteriorating shoreline breakwall on the property. The present breakwall consists of large (ie. :t 6 tonne) granite blocks scattered in an irregular pattern across the shoreline. The proposed seawall will be comprised of 3 to 5 tonne armourstone stacked in a step pattern, four boulders high. The existing granite material will be used for added protection at the toe of the new wall. A 6 metre wide concrete and slate deck will be constructed above the wall, with an additional three rows of armourstone above this area. The top of the upper armourstone wall will match the level of the rear yard of the property. The ends of the proposed walls will tie into the existing walls on the neighbouring properties. The adjacent property owners have reviewed the design drawings and have no objections to the proposed works. Control of Floodino: The 100 year flood elevation for Lake Ontario (excluding wave uprush) is 75.8 metres above sea level (a.s.I.). The top of the proposed shoreline breakwall will be at 76.8 metres a.s.1. The top elevation of the upper wall is estimated at 79.1 metres a.s.1. Staff are satisfied that the new shoreline and upper armourstone walls will provide the required protection against the Lake Ontario 100 year flood level with wave uprush. In addition, staff is satisfied that the proposed works will not impact the existing walls on neighbouring properties. Pollution: The existing shoreline wall material will act as a sedimentation control barrier during construction. Conservation of Land: Staff has reviewed the proposed wall design and confirm that the construction is in accordance with the technical guidelines under the Provincial Shoreline Policy Statement. The proposed shoreline breakwall will be founded on firm bedrock and will provide the necessary protection against erosion hazards and wave uprush.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Proposal: The Town of Markham is proposing to construct a new Art Gallery at the northwest corner of Carleton Road and Main Street in place of a smaller existing structure. The south entrance way is to be located in the Regional Storm flood plain which is part of the Unionville Special Policy Area (SPA). A service area at the rear of the structure and a small portion of a parking lot are also in the flood plain but not in the SPA. The depths of flooding at this location are 0.34 m. The remainder of the structure is located outside of the flood plain. The proposed structure is flood protected as all openings are above the Regional Storm flood elevation. An associated parking lot is to be constructed at grade, to the north of the Art Gallery, in the Fill Regulated Area and a small portion of which is also in the flood plain. This parking lot is an extension to an existing lot. Some minor regrading over a portion of four parking spaces is proposed in the flood plain. The maximum depth of flooding at this location will be 0.32 meters under 0.63 m/sec velocity. Control of Floodino: The SPA allows for new development in the flood plain. The service area and parking lot are being constructed in support of the proposed flood prone structure and are generally being constructed at grade. There is no room outside of the flood plain to allow for these facilities. Pollution: The proposed works are in excess of 45 meters from the watercourse. A hoarding fence will be erected around the site. There is no risk of sediment entering the watercourse. Conservation of Land: A remnant streambank abuts the site of the proposed work, and demarks the limit between the Town's openspace/park block, and existing developed lands. None of the proposed development extends beyond this stream bank feature. Policy Guidelines: As the proposed development site is partially within the Special Policy Area, and the flood risk for the entire project is similar to the risk within the Special Policy Area portion. Staff has applied the policies in Section 4.2.1 (Development Guidelines for Development/Redevelopment within Designated Two-Zone Areas or Special Policy Areas) of the Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to this site.

The existing house is endangered from bluff erosion and the occupants vacated the premises by an order from the City of Scarborough. The owner proposes to move the house 12 metres closer to the street further away from the eroding bluff onto a new basement foundation. An anchored shoring wall will be constructed along the full width of the property and partly along the east side back from the bluff edge in order to provide some level of protection to the rear yard. The MTRCA completed a slope stability study and management strategy and based on the recommendations in the Terraprobe report, have no objections to the proposed works. The applicant has approval to temporarily stockpile the excavated material from the new basement construction on the adjacent City of Scarborough property. He also has approval to use City property for access to the work site. After the house is relocated, this material will be placed in the former basement. There will be no change in grade. Control of Floodino: The works are not in the Regional Storm flood plain. There will be no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: The works do not pose a risk of pollution. Conservation of Land: According to the Terraprobe report the proposed works will not exacerbate erosion of the bluff. The site of the proposed house is outside the estimated stable crest of slope and will remain outside this limit provided that the existing shoreline protection works continue to protect the toe of the bluff from wave action. It is Authority staff's opinion that the new house site may still be threatened over the long term by a gully which is eroding because of groundwater conditions. MTRCA staff and the City of Scarborough are investigating the installation of dewatering wells to address this problem. 8427 OCTOBER 13. 1995.

However, the owner has not consented to sign the agreement prepared by Authority staff. As an alternative, staff will be forwarding a registered letter reminding the owner of the long-term risks and advising that the Authority will not accept responsibility for future damage to the house and associated structures caused by erosion. Policy Guidelines: The proposed works will be within the Regulatory Shoreline under the Provincial Shoreline Policy. The policy permits development within the Regulatory Shoreline. The owner is proposing to relocate the house as far back as possible on the lot to reduce the hazard. Because the toe of the bluff is currently protected and the relocation of the house reduces the risk to the structure, staff are in support of this proposal.

The structure is to be located on the Lake Ontario shoreline beach at the mouth of the Rouge River at the site of the original structure. The new structure, which is to be on the same piles as the original structure, will be built on two levels allowing for an enclosed (concrete block with cement pad) storage area underneath the clubhouse. The property is owned by MTRCA and under management agreement with Metro Toronto. Currently, the lands are being leased to the West Rouge Canoe Club for the clubhouse use. The lease allows for reconstruction on the site, and expires in 2005. Metro Toronto Parks and Culture Department staff have reviewed this proposal and have no objections. Control of Floodino: This site is impacted by flooding from both Lake Ontario and the Rouge River. The expected depth of flooding from the Rouge River under a Regional Storm event is approximately 1.6 metres. No lakeshore flooding or wave uprush analysis was undertaken to assess the risk of flooding to the structure. Pollution: The construction site will be delimited by sediment fencing. All fuelling of equipment will be done away from the beach and the Rouge marsh area. 8429 OCTOBER 13. 1995. ~ECUTIVE COMMITTEE #8/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 18. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Conservation of Land: The site is located on a dynamic beach and within the Regulatory Shoreline as defined under the 1995 Comprehensive Set of Policy Statements and is subject to lakeshore flooding and erosion. There are no other existing significant natural resource features on the site. Policy Guidelines: For the purposes of this application the Provincial Shoreline Policy takes precedence over the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. In this regard, the 1995 Comprehensive Set of Policy Statements (Goal 3 - Natural Hazards) and the 1994 Implementation Guidelines and the MNR Technical Guidelines (1994) are silent with respect to the consideration of replacement structures on a dynamic beach. However, the 1993 Technical Guidelines for the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Shoreline policies allowed for the consideration of replacement structures on a dynamic beach and recommend in order of preference and by assessment of risk: . relocation . appropriate structural design; and/or, . protection The 1994 Technical Guidelines for the Comprehensive Set of Policies recognizes that the proximity to water is a key consideration in the use and enjoyment of recreational facilities such as boathouses. The continued use by the West Rouge Canoe Club of this area with its proximity to water is critical to viable function of the water based activity. Authority staff are willing to recommend approval of this replacement structure for the following reasons: . the resource-based use is appropriate to the location . there are no appropriate alternative locations for the structure . this resource-based use does not result in an inappropriate risk to life . the existing lease supports the proposed use . the existing lease provides for the reconstruction of the structure . the replacement structure and use meets the Authority objectives . the replacement structure and use meets the intent of the Provincial Policy Because there has a been no engineering study ,it is unclear to Authority staff if the proposed structure can withstand the risk associated with potential lake flooding and the coastal processes. In this regard, the applicant has agreed to redesign the structure according to a final determination of structural requirements giving consideration to the results of a study which is currently underway. Furthermore, the applicant has agreed to sign a waiver in favour of the Authority, Province, City of Scarborough and Metropolitan Toronto for any damages incurred to the replacement structure through flooding or erosion.

FRENCHMAN'S BAY - WEST ROUGE CANOE CLUB (CONTD.) -Town of Pickering The Town of Pickering Council concurred with the lease extension to October 31, 1995 and issued a building permit at its March 6, 1995 meeting by adopting the following resolution: "That the request to extend the licence agreement between the West Rouge Canoe Club and the MTRCA be supported by Council for the period November 1, 1994 to October 31, 1995; and that a building permit be obtained from the Town's Building Department for the temporary tailer. " The West Rouge Canoe Club has operated since April 23, 1994 at this location, as outlined on the attached figure, in accordance with the agreement conditions.

The West Rouge Canoe Club, by letter dated September 22, 1995, has requested an extension to this temporary agreement including the provision of a second trailer on site to accommodate increased requirements for canoe storage. RATIONALE The paddling facility is consistent with the environmentally-friendly recreation activities which are suitable for the Bay and with the current park operations. This proved to be the case for the operating season in 1994 and 1995 with no objections from the residents and users of the park. Discussions with the Town of Pickering Planning Department indicate support to extend the agreement for a further temporary period based on the results of 1994 and 1995 operation of the paddling facility. At a recent meeting of the Frenchman's Bay Watch Advisory Committee, extension to the West Rouge Canoe Club lease was supported. The location of the second trailer would be subject to the concurrence of Pickering and MTRCA staff. Any long term agreement would have to be consistent with the Frenchman"s Bay West Park Plan.

The proposed acquisition of Milne Hollow has been proceeding on the basis that the major portion of the funding would be achieved by applying the outstanding parkland credit relating to the Toronto Islands, that Metropolitan Toronto had received from the Province towards this transaction. The Province advised by letter from the Ontario Realty Corporation dated October 12, 1995, that funding is not available for this acquisition. A number of extensions to the agreement have been negotiated to date. The Vendor has informed the Authority that unless we can commit to closing the transaction this year, that no further extensions will be granted and we fear that the opportunity to acquire this strategic green land parcel will be lost. Upon completion this parcel would form the northern gateway to the Charles Sauriol Conservation Reserve and allow access to the substantial public lands to the south. It is proposed to utilize Milne Hollow as a trail head and access point. It would also facilitate maintenance of the channels associated with the Don Valley Parkway. For these reasons we feel it is essential to acquire the property. At the Council meeting held on February 22-24, 1995, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto adopted Clause No.3 contained in Report No.6 of the Financial Priorities Committee supporting the acquisition of Milne Hollow subject to the condition that no funding is required from Metropolitan Toronto. This report was based on the assumption that funding would be available from the Province as part of a credit for the parkland lost in the Toronto Islands. In the absence of the parkland credit, Metro staff are now prepared to recommend that $500,000. identified in the approved Parks 1995-1999 Capital Works Programme under Item 00-001 "Land Acquisition" be allocated for the acquisition of Milne Hollow in 1995. Staff are proposing to close the Milne Hollow transaction on or before December 31, 1995, with $500,000. payable on closing using the above noted funding. The Authority would then be committed to paying the $695,000. balance of the purchase price plus interest on or before . December 22, 1996. It is proposed that the Authority's share would be raised through land sale revenues and charitable donations.

The main gaps in the trail system are through the Mid Humber from St. Phillips Road to the confluence and though the North Humber from the confluence, to Finch Avenue. Critical to the trail development is the acquisition of eight (8) key properties and clarification of property limits in one area. In this case, the subject properties are all within the Authority's Master Plan for acquisition and it is in the interest of both agencies to work towards a common acquisition plan. The parcels identified are all very important to the Humber River parks system and staff feel that this is an opportunity to finally bring them into public ownership. It is proposed to have the Authority carry out the acquisition under the Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project 1996-2000. Under this project, it is identified that the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto contribute 50% of the municipal share or 25% of the total amount, however, the Project contemplates adjustments to the formula where municipalities wish to accelerate acquisition. It is recommended that the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto make available $500,000. from the approved 1995-1999 Capital Works Programme, - Land Acquisition for 1996, to be matched by the Authority through land sale revenue and donations. The Authority proposes to match the $500,000. Metro contribution. In the event the Authority cannot raise the full amount, Metro's share will not exceed the amount raised by the Authority. The Deputy Commissioner of Parks and Culture supports these acquisitions as they represent significant contributions to the regional park system.

WILD WATER KINGDOM -Request for Deferral of Final 1995 Lease Payment KEY ISSUE Wild Water Kingdom has requested that the Authority defer the final 1995 lease payment until no later than July 1, 1996. Res. #E173/95 Moved by: Michael Di Biase Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the request of Wild Water Kingdom for deferral of the final 1995 lease payment, at an interest rate of prime plus 1 %, and to be repaid no later than July 1. 1996, be approved; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the foregoing. including the receipt of any necessary consent and approval of Wild Water Kingdom's mortgagees, in fulfilment of the existing terms and conditions of the Wild Water Kingdom lease agreement. CARRIED BACKGROUND Wild Water Kingdom is a private corporation which leases lands located at the Authority's Claireville Conservation area. The Authority receives a base rent plus a share of the gross revenue of the Water Park as part of its lease commitment. Lease payments are required 30 days following the end of each month. In each of the last 4 years. the Authority has approved a deferral of the final rental payment until the end of June the following year. In each case, Wild Water Kingdom has repaid the outstanding rental payment on time with interest. This arrangement has proved advantageous to the Authority as the rate of interest has been at, or above, the rate of interest the Authority would have received on its investments. Agreements negotiated with Wild Water Kingdom include a provision that default on the outstanding rental payment constitutes default on the lease and all of the appropriate penalties apply. ANALYSIS The attached letter from Dr. Edward Siu Chong, President of Wild Water Kingdom, explains in part, Wild Water Kingdom's cash flow needs. The audited financial statements of Wild Water Kingdom should be available shortly. However, based on preliminary estimates, approximately $90,000 is owing to the Authority. Dr. Chong has agreed that from September 30, 1995 on, the interest rate of prime plus 1 % would apply to the outstanding balance. B456 NOVEMBER 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/95 SECTION" -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. WILD WATER KINGDOM (CONTD.) -Request for Deferral of Final 1 995 Lease Payment Staff of the Authority recommend the deferral of rent subject to the agreement of the Canadian Western Bank and the Royal Bank as required under the terms and conditions of the lease. Wild Water Kingdom has had deferrals of rent in the past and has repaid the amounts with interest by the end of June in the following year. The risk to the Authority is minimal since a default on the amount outstanding requires that the Canadian Western Bank and/or the Royal Bank make good on the outstanding rental payment or risk having the park taken over by the Authority. Given the dollar amount, it is highly unlikely that the Canadian Western Bank or the Royal Bank would allow the default to result in the total assets of Wild Water Kingdom being seized by the Authority. Detailed information relating to the lease arrangements with Wild Water Kingdom is available from Jim Dillane, Director, Finance and Administration, at Ext. 220.

DON WATERSHED REGENERATION PROJECT -German Mills Creek Subwatershed BACKGROUND In 1994, the Don Watershed Task Force presented their final report Forty Steps to a New Don to the Authority. The report included a vision for the regenerated Don Watershed, principles to guide that regeneration, the Forty Steps for regeneration, subwatershed plans, and six concept sites to initiate specific actions within the watershed. Res. #A 111/94: "THA T the Don Watershed Task Force report entitled "40 Steps to a New Don" be received and endorsed; THA T the appropriate federal and provincial ministries. and watershed municipalities. be requested to endorse the Vision and Principles (Chapter 2 of the report); THA T the federal departments, provincial ministries. and watershed municipalities be requested to consider innovative, as well as traditional opportunities, for taking actions that wi/I/ead to the implementation of the Task Force report and the development of a Don Watershed Accord based on the 40 Steps to a New Don; AND FURTHER THA T staff pursue the implementation of the concept sites in conjunction with the appropriate agencies and the public; and complete draft implementation guidelines and reports including the Fisheries Management Plan and the Don Stormwater Management Criteria." Settler's Park is identified as a high priority for regeneration of the Don within the Town of Markham. Over the past several years the Town of Markham in association with the Boy Scouts and the MTRCA have conducted regeneration activities in the form of plantings, in an incremental effort towards enhancement of this valley reach. The MTRCA and the Town have an opportunity to provide detailed planning and engineering through the development of a comprehensive regeneration plan that would deal not only with planting regeneration, but will also address water quality improvements of the German Mills Creek. Further, the regeneration of this site is in keeping with the direction established in Forty Steps to a New Don as noted in Res. #A 111/94. RATIONALE The regeneration plan proposed for Settler's Park involves the establishment of two water quality control facilities at the sites of existing outfalls within the valley. The regeneration plan also involves the rehabilitation of eroded sections of the streambank through the use of natural material and plantings, and the placement of additional plant material for habitat diversity. There will also be a benefit to aquatic habitat. These actions will create a more diverse and productive natural area and offer residents an opportunity to use and enjoy it. It is intended that this work will provide the detailed engineering to enable this work to be initiated in 1996 subject to funding availability.

Res. #E175/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the firm of M. M. Dillon Limited be retained to complete the designs for the mitigation of two instream barriers to fish passage in the Don River Watershed at total cost of $24,235.50 (including G.S.T.). CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Watershed Task force in order to develop a management strategy for the Don Watershed prepared a report entitled, "Forty Steps To A New Don" , This report is the Task Force's blueprint for regeneration. Included in the report are specific steps to be undertaken in order to regenerate the watershed and subwatershed regeneration plans that outline specific regeneration needs. Concurrent with the development of the watershed strategy was the production of watershed fisheries management plan. The plan, presently in draft, is embodied in step 16 of the watershed strategy" improve the Don's stream habitats and connections for fish". The watershed fisheries management plan provides the direction for managing the various aquatic habitats and fish communities within the watershed. One of the most strategic rehabilitation activities identified in the plan is the mitigation of in stream barriers to fish movement. The fisheries plan identifies more than sixty in stream barriers to fish movement within the watershed. These barriers effectively isolate watercourses and sections of watercourse by eliminating upstream movement. Two of these barriers, located north and south of Pottery Road in the lower Don, keep migratory fish species in lake Ontario, from entering all but the lower reaches of the river system. By mitigating the effect of these barriers, fish access to more than 1 Okm of stream habitat will be achieved. In 1994 a concept design was completed for the mitigation of the fish barrier north of Pottery Road. The proposed work is to complete the final design for this site and draft a concept design for the mitigation of the barrier south of Pottery Road. RATIONALE The Authority received four proposals for the design of the works as follows: (excluding G.S.T.) (1 ) B.A.R. Environmental Inc. $18,732.00 (2) M. M.

BACKGROUND In the preparation of the joint Brief to the Golden Task Force by the six Conservation Authorities within the GTA, a meeting of the CAO's/General Managers and representatives of the Members from each Authority was held at the Credit Valley Conservation Authority to discuss the content and recommendations of the Brief. This was the first time that such a group had come together to discuss common issues, concerns, and opportunities. Based on the input received at this meeting. the Brief was finalized and was presented to the Golden Task Force in August of this year. One of the recommendations contained in the Brief related to the willingness of the six GTA Conservation Authorities to enter into discussions regarding how we might be structured in the new GT A model and how we would address ways of improving our efficiency and developing consistent policies and delivery mechanisms. We also indicated, our willingness to discuss governance issues and other opportunities to improve the delivery of watershed management programs in this time of financial constraint. Given the severity of the budget cuts that are projected and the need to demonstrate to the Provincial and Municipal Governments that Conservation Authorities, as a whole, and in particular, those within the GT A, are willing to look for new ways of doing business. A second meeting of the GT A Authorities was arranged for November 2, 1995. This meeting was a follow-up to the discussions that were initiated at the first meeting and to the recommendation contained in the Brief, regarding restructuring. Councillors O'Brien, DiBiase and Whitehead, along with Mayor Witty and Vice Chair, Hancey attended this meeting, representing not only the Authority's Executive Committee, but our four Regional Municipal partners. B480 NOVEMBER 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/95 SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 15. MEETING OF THE SIX CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES WITHIN THE GTA (CONTD.) Based on the discussion at the meeting. it was agreed that there was some urgency to begin to look for some basic principles surrounding the issues of: . Efficiency . Competence/Consistency -, . Governance and its Costs . Partnership Models . Responsibilities . Financial Planning It was agreed that we needed to show some leadership, rather than wait for someone else to determine our future. Although there are many unknowns at this time with respect to funding and the future of the GT A, it is important that we begin this process now. In this regard, it was agreed that each Authority would seek the support of their Boards for the establishment of a committee, comprised of the CAO/General Manager and one Authority Member from each Authority, to develop the principles for addressing the above noted issues.

Res. #E184/95 Moved by: Jim Witty Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THAT the correspondence from Mr. B. Toporowski, P. Eng., Commissioner of Transportation and Works, Town of Richmond Hill, dated September 19, 1995, regarding the Old Lake Wilcox Golf Course be received; THAT Authority staff be directed to provide technical assistance to the Town of Richmond Hill to identify the scope and boundary of the Environmentally Significant Area, and public acquisition; THAT Authority staff enter into discussions with the Town of Richmond Hill and the owners of the Kaitlin property. regarding the possible acquisition of the Environmentally Significant portion of the Kaitlin lands only; THAT independent appraisal advice be obtained to assist in these discussions; THAT staff report back to the Executive Committee with recommendations regarding the Authority's role in this acquisition; AND FURTHER THAT the Town of Richmond Hill be so advised. CARRIED B488 NOVEMBER 10, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/95 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 19. PROPOSED PROPERTY ACQUISITION (CONTD.) -Kaitlin Lands, Town of Richmond Hill BACKGROUND The site is located at the southeast corner of Bayview Avenue and Bethesda Road, in the Town of Richmond Hill. The east portion of this property is identified as Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) No. 91, The Wilcox Lake Bog, through the 1982 ESA Study. The ESA is characteristic of morainal topography with deep isolated valleys, steep slopes and rolling hills. The valley walls and tableland portion are covered with upland hardwood forests. The kettle depressions include wetland areas such as bogs, willow thickets and swamps. Further, this portion of the site is identified as a Class 5 wetland by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The area has also been identified by the Ministry as an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). The 1982 ESA boundary does not include all of the ANSI; however, the new 1993 ESA criteria specifically recognizes ANSI's. The status of this ANSI was updated in 1995 based in part on information that was collected by the Town of Richmond Hill consultant (Gore & Storrie) for Official Plan Amendment No. 129. The consultant recommended that the ANSI, which includes the boundary of the ESA, be recognized as an Environmental Protection Area 1. However, because this parcel of land is located east of Bayview Avenue, it was not included in the redesignation of lands through Official Plan Amendment No. 129. In addition to the ecological values of this area, it would have educational and recreational value in conjunction with the programs offered at our Lake St. George facility given its close proximity to the facility. The Wilcox Lake Bog ESA possesses an intermittent headwater watercourse of the Rouge River. The site is not fill or flood plain regulated; however, it has been recognized in the Authority's Fill Line Extension Program. The present Town of Richmond Hill's Official Plan designates the site as Rural and Major Open Space and the present zoning is Agriculture. The proponent of the land has approached the Town of Richmond Hill with a proposed Residential and Golf Course use for the subject property. The residential component is proposed entirely outside the forest and wetland areas. However, it is our understanding through discussions with Town of Richmond Hill staff that the golf course is proposed within the ESA and ANSI boundary. To date, there has been no formal circulation of this proposal. Through the present Town of Richmond Hill designation and zoning, a golf course would be permitted. The only planning approval necessary is through site plan approval for the proposed clubhouse and associated parking facility. In order to ensure protection of The Wilcox Lake Bog ESA, public acquisition is being pursued by the Town of Richmond Hill with requested assistance from the MTRCA. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #9/95, NOVEMBER 10, 1995 B489 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 19. PROPOSED PROPERTY ACQUISmON (CONTD.) -Kaitlin Lands, Town of Richmond Hill Through the receipt of the above mentioned letter dated September 19, 1995, Authority staff were advised of Town of Richmond Hill Council resolution passed on September 5, 1995, which states that: "Council petition the Metropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Authority regarding its involvement in the acquisition of lands located at the southeast corner of Bayview A venue and Bethesda Road, known as the Old Lake Wilcox Golf Course; and, that Metropolitan Toronto Region Conservation Authority also be requested to provide technical assistance to identify the scope and boundaries of these environmentally sensitive lands. " The Kaitlin property is one of several privately owned properties within the Authority's designated ESA No. 91 - The Wilcox Lake 80g. MTRCA Land Acquisition Programs and Projects recognize ESA lands as being suitable Greenspace properties for public ownership. Given that the Authority has limited funds for acquisition, it is recommended that the Authority's involvement, if any, should be limited to those lands designated as ESA on the Kaitlin property. In addition, a strategy for the protection of The Wilcox Lake 80g ESA, in its entirety, will need to be reviewed and discussed with the Town of Richmond Hill. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE Staff will work with the Town of Richmond Hill in identifying the boundaries of the ESA as it relates to this property only. Staff will also seek some independent appraisal advice to assist in these discussions. Staff will report back with a recommendation as to what specific role the Authority might play in assisting the Town Richmond Hill in this acquisition.

DON WATERSHED REGENERATION PROJECT -Upper East Don Subwatershed In the Fall of 1994, the Authority participated in a study to develop detailed working plans for the regeneration of a water quantity facility in Harding Park to incorporate water quality and stream improvement activities. Project implementation has been undertaken and almost completely funded by the Town of Richmond Hill. It is now nearing completion. This is the first concept site to have moved through all phases of planning and implementation. The Town of Richmond Hill staff should be commended for this work. Based on this work and the commitment of the Town to participate in the regeneration of the Don, additional sites have been reviewed by staff of the Authority and the Town. Pioneer Park Pond is identified as the second concept site and has the highest priority for regeneration within the Town of Richmond Hill. For this reason, both staff of the Town of Richmond Hill and MTRCA are in support of a regeneration plan being develooed. The proposed regeneration of this site is in keeping with the direction established in Forty Steps to a New Don. RATIONALE The regeneration plan proposed for Pioneer Park Pond will add to the existing water quantity control pond, the stream and valleylar.ds at this site. The key aim is to improve water quality. The regeneration plan will change the stream form, will maintain the existing storm water quantity control function while improving water quality, aquatic habitat and terrestrial habitat in the area. These actions will create a more diverse and productive natural area and offer residents an opportunity to use and enjoy it. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The Town of Richmond Hill, in consultation with MTRCA, will develop terms of reference, request proposals from a minimum of three firms and follow the approved purchasing policies of the Town The Authority representative on the steering committee will review the proposals to ensure the interests of the Authority and the Great Lakes Cleanup Fund are addressed.

The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto is to be responsible for payment of all realty taxes and local improvement charges; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of any necessary approvals and execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1980, the Authority entered into a lease agreement for certain Authority owned lands in the Humber River watershed, situate north of Woodbridge, in the City of Vaughan, to The Board of Trade of Metropolitan Toronto for a 25 year period. The parcel consists of 23.801 acres, more or less, of vacant flood plain and valley land with the rental rate being renewable at five year intervals. The rental rate for the third, five year period, commencing January 1, 1991, was $15,470.65 per annum, payable $1,289.22 monthly in advance, plus payment of all realty taxes and local improvement charges. While the initial position of the tenant was, that due to the falling land prices and rental rates during the past five years, there should be no rental increase, an increase of five percent for the upcoming term has now been agreed to. This rental arrangement provides for payment of realty taxes, estimated at $5,018.61 per annum, for Authority greenspace lands, which is consistent with our current thrust to reduce our tax burden.

REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK(March 1993) This item was discussed in closed session. KEY ISSUE Acquisition of Authority land requirements, to facilitate implementation of the Public Amenity Scheme. Res. #E193/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority proceed with expropriation of any and all lands and property rights, as set out in the appended Schedule "A" where satisfactory property agreements have not been reached, to complete the Public Amenity Scheme of the "Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993), under the provisions of the Expropriations Act and Conservation Authorities Act; THAT the expropriation be subject to confirmation that the Province of Ontario, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the City of Etobicoke will provide their respective shares of any additional costs associated with the expropriation should those costs exceed the amount budgeted for acquisition of the Public Amenity Scheme; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to execute all necessary documentation and take any other action required to obtain possession of the lands to facilitate commencement of construction at the earliest possible date. CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #2/95, held on March 31, 1995, the Members of the Authority under Resolution #A51 195, authorized staff to make application to the Minister of Natural Resources for approval to expropriate any necessary lands and property rights, to complete the Public Amenity Scheme of the Revised Project for the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park (March 1993), under the provisions of the Expropriations Act and the Conservation Authorities Act. At Authority Meeting #9/95, held on October 27, 1995, the Members of the Authority under Resolution #A236/95, directed staff to continue negotiations and mediation with all affected property owners and pursue an early. response, to the Application for Approval to Expropriate Land to the Minister of Natural Resources and to take all other action possible, to ensure all property rights required for implementation of the project are acquired as expeditiously as possible. In each of the aforementioned instances, staff were directed to provide a further detailed report to the Members of the Authority, at such time as a decision from the Minister of Natural Resources for approval to expropriate, has been received. B506 DECEMBER 1, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/95 SECTION!: ITEMS fQB AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. REVISED PROJECT FOR THE ETOBICOKE MOTEL STRIP WATERFRONT PARK(March 19931 The Ontario Municipal Board Hearing dealing with the Motel Strip area is scheduled to commence on December 12, 1995, following a number of pre-hearings held earlier this year. As the Chair of The Ontario Municipal Board Hearing has on a number of occasions expressed her concern that the certainty of the potential for the comprehensive land assembly be clarified prior to commencement of the hearing, it is essential that the Authority's ability to complete the assembly be shown at the earliest possible date. The Province of Ontario is aware of the need for a decision on the expropriations and discussions are ongoing at serious levels to provide direction to the Authority. The attached Schedule "A" sets out the candidate properties for potential ex.propriation. The attached Schedule "B" illustrates the current status of property negotiations, while the attached Schedule "C" is a map of the Motel Strip area, illustrating the parcels where satisfactory agreements have been obtained to date and the parcels where expropriation may be required. Additional information and a recommendation will be available in closed session at the meeting as to property valuation, costs and further action.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEE SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT -Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation Services KEY ISSUE Proposed adjustments to the MTRCA Administrative Fee Schedule for Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway Regulation Services effective January 1996. ~ #E194/95 Moved by: Richard O'Brien Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT the proposed adjustments to the MTRCA Administrative Fee Schedule for Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation Services be approved for implementation in January 1996. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1988, the Authority implemented an administrative fee for regulation services. The fee structure and rates have been reviewed annually and adjusted as recommended. The last adjustment was made in July 1993. When reviewing the fee schedule staff has regard for the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario (ACAOl and Provincial guidelines, the practices of other conservation authorities and the objectives of affordability, simplicity and reasonable rate adjustments. PROPOSED FEE SCHEDULE Several changes are proposed to the fee schedule affecting both the structure and rates. The structure has been divided into additional service categories and the rates have been increased for all services. All of these changes were made to better reflect a user-pay approach. Figure 1, attached, compares the current and proposed fee schedule. Rates increase based on the average complexity of the project. Rates for municipal projects are udiscounted" in comparison to private sector projects recognizing the contribution through municipal levy to the Authority's regulation and planning program activities. Projects completed through management agreements on Authority lands continue to be exempt. The fee schedule has been noticeably adjusted for projects associated with new multi-lot developments. Again, this reflects the cumulative level of effort that is spent in plan input and review activities that precede work permits under Ontario Regulation 158. In discussion with representatives from the Urban Development Institute (UD!), it is also recommended that permits associated with these types of projects be issued for five years as opposed to the current practise of two years. This alleviates the need for annual renewals and is more consistent with the design an~ construction schedule of these projects. Adjustments have been made to both the fee rates for permit renewals and revisions as a result of the main fee adjustments. B508 DECEMBER 1, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/95 SECTION 11 = ITEMS fQB AUTHORITY INFORMATION 7. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT -Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation Services RATIONALE The fee schedule proposed for implementation in 1996 will increase total annual revenues by $30,000 to $40,000. This estimate is based on projections from 1995 service information. The fees are consistent with those of adjacent conservation authorities. The fee structure is such that administration is simple and efficient for both staff and applicants. The increase in rates is reasonable given that there has been no adjustment for two and a half years. WORK TO BE DONE Staff will notify clients and adjacent conservation authorities of the 1996 adjustment to the MTRCA Administrative Fee Schedule for Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterway Regulation Services following approval of the Executive Committee. This is done through direct mailing, news release and information bulletins. Staff generally allows 30 days from implementation as a transition period before the revised fees are enforced. Revenue projections and client feedback will be monitored throughout 1996. The schedule will be reviewed again as part of the 1997 budget. Other revenue initiatives relating to plan input and review services will be brought forward as developed such as opportunities relating to streamlining of services (eg. one window approvalsl.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Control 2! Floodino: The proposed storm outfall is part of the overall storm drainage plan for the Southridge Estates Subdivision and the Bolton - South Hill Master Drainage Plan. Quantity control is provided through the diversion of minor system flows to an existing storm water management pond to the west and quality control for the balance of the developed area drainage through lot level controls on Deer Hollow Court and a stilling basin at the outfall. Pollution: Construction will not occur within the channel of the Humber River. A siltation control fence will be placed to delineate the construction area and the stilling basin will act as a sediment pond during construction. Conservation Q,f.l.iuJJ1;, The applicant proposes a combination of native wet meadow ground cover and small native trees and shrubs as a riparian planting for the area around the outfall channel. These plantings will also serve to stabilize the area upon completion of grading. ~ Guidelines: The proposed works comply with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program, Section 4.3 - Infrastructure and Servicing.

The purpose is to place fill in conjunction with the construction of a parking lot and a second access roadway to Derry Road, within the Fill Regulated Area and Regional Storm flood plain of the Mimico Creek. In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: ( 1l Erosion Control Plan and Grading Details; prepared by AI Underhill & Associates Limited; Drawing 95-219-EC1, Revision 5 dated November 2,1995; received November 6,1995. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/95. DECEMBER 1, 1995 B513 SECTION 11 =.IIEM.S. FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 8. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways ProDosal: The proposal consists of constructing the Malton Station for the Peel Regional Police. Fill placementlgrading is required in order to create a parking area and a second access roadway to Derry Road along the eastern boundary of the property. The earth works are also required in order to comply with the previously approved storm drainage scheme under Subdivision 21T-86026M. Only the eastern-most portion of the property is situated within the Regional Storm flood plain of the Mimico Creek and the Registered Fill Line. The alternate access roadway and 32 of the total 180 parking spaces will be located within the flood plain. Control Qf Floodina: Staff has worked with the applicant's engineering consultant in order to limit the amount of fill placement within the flood plain. Originally, 365 m3 of fill was proposed for the parking lot/access roadway grading. However, this volume of fill material has now been reduced to 37 m3 which will basically maintain the proposed parking facility at existing grade. The portion of the property located within the flood plain is only subject to flooding under Regional Storm conditions. The maximum flood depth and velocity during a Regional Storm would be 0.7 metres and 0.5 metres per second, respectively. Pollution: Silt fencing will be implemented along the east lot line in order to prevent the migration of sediment during construction. Catchbasin manholes will be covered with filter fabric and overtopped with crushed stone, in accordance with the Authority's Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Construction. Conservaticn Qf .!.IDllt All disturbed areas adjacent to the paved surfaces will be sodded immediately following final grading. Shrubs and trees will be planted along the east lot boundary to blend into Wildwood Park, owned by the City of Mississauga. ~ Guidelines: The subject property falls within a commercially-zoned block in a plan of subdivision that was registered in 1989. This block of the subdivision was approved such that the flood plain portion of the property could be developed in accordance with uses allowed under a site specific by-law approved for the subject lands prior to the registration of the subdivision. At the time of registration, the development of the flood plain area of this site was in compliance with the Authority's Flood Control Program of the MTRCA Watershed Plan (1980 and 1986 updatel and the 1985 Parking Lot Policies. The proposed parking area construction within the flood plain does not comply with current policy as set out in the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. Current policy only provides for at-grade parking facilities associated with local or regional municipal recreational uses located within valleylands. As this permit application implements the site development as previously approved, staff is recommending that it be 'grand parented' and approved under previous policy provisions.

KEY ISSUE Proposal for a partnership agreement with the City of Brampton for the purposes of attracting private sector investment in revenue generating recreational facilities on surplus Authority land. Res. #E196/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Jim Witty THAT subject to the negotiation of terms acceptable to the Authority, the Authority enter into a partnership agreement with the City of Brampton for a period of two years for the purposes of attracting private sector investment in revenue generating recreational facilities on surplus Authority land, situated on Gorewood Drive in the City of Brampton; THAT during the term of this partnership agreement the Authority defer actively marketing the sale of the subject surplus land; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to take the necessary action to implement the aforementioned agreement including the signing of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND By Resolution #A 14/94, approved at Authority Meeting #1/94 on February 25, 1994, the Authority declared surplus two parcels of land situated on the west side of the Claireville Conservation Area, south of Highway 7. The sale of the parcel at the southeast corner of Highway 7 and Gorewood Dr. is in the process of closing. The second, 56 acre block is at the end of Gorewood Drive north of Steeles Avenue. The Gorewood Drive parcel, while not immediately developable due to a lack of proper servicing and zoning, is situated in close proximity to the new Highway 407 and will have easy access to all of the major 400 series Highways through an extensive network of interchanges and major arterial roads. The value of this land is likely to escalate within a relatively short period of time. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/95, DECEMBER 1, 1995 B527 SECTION 11 = ITEMS fQ.B AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF BRAMPTON (CONTD.) A letter has been received from the Mayor and Commissioner of Community Services for the City of Brampton requesting that the Authority consider entering into a partnership agreement with the City in order to work cooperatively to generate private sector investment in the subject parcel which will meet both Authority and City objectives. In preliminary discussions on this matter, Authority staff have indicated our objective for this parcel is to identify a development for the lands which provides an ongoing annual financial contribution to the Authority's operating budget which is equal to or greater than the value of the one time infusion of funds which would be generated by the sale of the lands. The City's objectives are to attract private sector investment in community recreational facilities and to develop a showcase facility which will improve the City's attraction as a destination in the regional market. Specifically, the City wants a major multi-pad arena complex with seating for 5000-6000. The Authority's revenue objectives can be met through the development of a wide range of facilities on this parcel, particularly since it has gone through the process of being declared surplus to our needs. Our objective should not be the immediate sale of the parcel for a number of reasons. First, as noted above, the relatively unimproved nature of the neighbourhood at present results in the value of these lands being in the vicinity of $50,000 per acre. With the completion of Highway 407 , the pressure to bring these and adjacent lands into the development stream will increase as will the value. By simply waiting a short period of time, the value of the lands could improve by as much as 50 per cent. If we were to invest funds and staff time in rezoning the lands during this period, further improvements in value would be realized. Secondly, the policies which are applied to the proceeds of land sales (ie. sale proceeds can only be applied to the purchase of additional lands) do not permit us to use these funds for operating purposes. Deferring the sale of the lands allows an opportunity to manage the asset to achieve a revenue stream through a partnership arrangement and/or to attempt to have policy changes put into effect, allowing the Authority the discretion to apply sale proceeds to the most important need. If neither of these opportunities materialize, a sale can proceed at a later date, presumably at a higher value. Finally, the way in which the surplus property is developed can have a bearing on the revenue potential of the balance of our substantial land holdings in the vicinity. If we participate as partners in the development of the surplus lands, we will have a better opportunity to shape that development in such a way as to produce a better overall return to the Authority. The normal practice of public agencies when attempting to attract private sector partners is to issue a request for proposals. The Authority has used this technique many times in the past. In this instance, because there are two. public agencies working together to attract a private sector partner to achieve different objectives, there is a need to formalize the agencies' agreement to cooperate to ensure that the process of involving a third party occurs without conflict. The terms of such an agreement would serve to clarify the objectives of the partners, set out the contributions each party is bringing to the partnership, layout any restrictions or special requirements that must be considered and establish a process for determining how the partners share in the expected benefits. B528 DECEMBER 1, 1995, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #10/95 SECTION 11 : ITEMS fQB AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF BRAMPTON (CONTD.) RATIONALE In order for the Authority to continue to deliver on its important watershed management objectives, new and creative sources of funding must be developed. This Authority is in the unique position of having a substantial asset base which, if managed properly, could financially support programs which have traditionally been dependent on tax sources. Partnerships with other government agencies as well as the private sector will form an essential part of future management strategies. Entering into a partnership with the City will provide substantial benefits to the Authority. The City's access to capital, community contacts, captive recreational markets and facility operation expertise will complement the Authority's land assets and open space planning expertise. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The terms of the partnership agreement are to be developed jointly with the City. Upon signing of the agreement, the next major task will be to develop a detailed Terms of Reference for a Proposal Call regarding the development of an arena complex, identifying the surplus Authority lands as a potential location. Staff will report regularly to the Executive Committee with respect to progress on this initiative including the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Staff do not anticipate incurring substantial costs in the process of identifying a potential private sector partner for this project. The details of the partnership arrangement identified through this process will determine the extent to which any financial commitments will have to be made by the Authority and will be the subject of future reports.

CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/95, JANUARY 12, 1996 B539 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERA TION 3. THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO FOR TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION (TTC) PURPOSES (CONTD.) BACKGROUND The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, is currently negotiating with the owners and tenants of the property at 1333 Sheppard Avenue East for the acquisition of permanent and temporary working easements required to facilitate the construction of the Sheppard Subway line. North York General Hospital is the owner of this 2.21 hectare property on which a medical office building and a parking deck is currently constructed. The lands adjacent to this property are owned by the Authority and under management agreement with The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. In the course of the construction of the Sheppard Subway, the frontage of 1333 Sheppard Avenue East will be disrupted for a period of approximately four years, including the loss of 81 parking spaces. To compensate for the parking it is proposed that the parking deck be expanded and Metro has requested the use of approximately 1,052 square meters (0.259 acres) of Authority property, south of 1333 Sheppard Avenue East to facilitate this proposal. Approximately 292 square meters of the proposed construction is over the top of bank as defined in a field survey conducted with Authority staff in October, 1995. Small retaining walls, approximately one to two meters in height will be required in these areas, the design of which will be subject to geotechnical studies and recommendations. The subject land is actually on the edge of an existing fill area that was engineered to build 1333 Sheppard Avenue East, and is grass covered. The Transit Commission has looked at a number of different options to provide compensation for the parking spaces, including constructing a three storey deck and providing parking within the floodplain, west of the proposed site. Authority staff have also been involved in the review of these options. Authority staff are of the opinion that the current proposal represents the best alternative in this area. The encroachment over top of bank is minor in extent (see above). It will avoid extensive re- grading on Authority-owned valleyland to the west. In addition, the Commission has agreed to remediate an existing toe erosion problem affecting the existing driveway entrance to the medical centre and to undertake extensive valleyland plantings on the balance of the slope (currently grassed). It is intended that these works will be incorporated as part of a permit submission pursuant to Ontario Regulation 158 which will also include replacement of the Buchan Court culvert. Staff are of the opinion that this option is consistent with the intent of Section 4.3 of the approved Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program. The Corporation of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that this easement be granted for a nominal consideration of $2.00. The subject lands were acquired from the North York General Hospital in October, 1970, under the Don River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. There is a covenant on title which limits the use of the property for any purpose other than for conservation. We have requested The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to obtain a release from the North York General Hospital prior to commencing construction. In addition to the permanent easement rights being granted, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto will also be utilizing certain additional Authority-owned lands in this area, for temporary construction purposes. A plan illustrating the specific location will be available at the meeting.

Don River Watershed (CONTD.) -Moore Park Estates, Hampton Park Company Limited Properties Harry Freedman and Harry Frimerman BACKGROUND Resolution #A 131/95. Authority Meeting #4/95, May 26, 1995, approving the project. In the late 1950's the Bayview Avenue extension was constructed which severed the holdings of Harry Freedman and Harry Frimerman and their various companies. By virtue of registration of Expropriation Plan Numbers 6458 and 6459, registered, May 17,1962, the Authority obtained title to two parcels of Don River Watershed conservation lands containing a total of 8.9 acres, more or less, formerly owned by Hampton Park Company Limited and Messers Freedman/Frimerman located on the east side of the Bayview Avenue extension, in the Borough of East York. Hampton Park Company Limited made an aggregate claim for the expropriated lands in the amount of $375,000, dated February 20, 1963. The Authority was informed through correspondence dated March 18, 1964, that Hampton Park Company Limited would not proceed with the compensation settlement until such time as the development issues involving their adjacent lands, Moore Park Estates, on the west side of the Bayview Avenue extension (formerly referred to as the Bayview Ghost development) had been resolved. The main issue regarding the former Bayview Ghost Development involved accessing the site. The original high-rise development proposal proposed construction of an interchange off the Bayview Avenue extension to service the lands. This scheme would have required the use of some MTRCA lands expropriated from Hampton Park Company Limited in 1962. As a result, the expropriation settlement became linked to the development. After many years of work by the principals, Moore Park Estates now have approval to access their lands by extending Nesbitt Drive over the Canadian Pacific Railway line. Therefore, MTRCA lands are no longer required to service the site. In addition, a decision by the Ontario MuniCipal Board approved the "Bayview Ghost" lands for single family residential development as opposed to high density development. As part of the draft plan subdivision review process Hampton Park Company Limited has agreed to give the Authority a full release, relating to the outstanding expropriation settlements. The Moore Park Estates subdivision application (Application #55T-81 048) dates from the early 1980's. OPA No.4, in conjunction with Zoning Bylaw No. 27.80, permit single family development. Authority staff finalized comments on this application in 1986 recommending draft plan approval subject to a series of conditions. The application did not proceed to draft approval and in September of 1995 a revised application was filed and recirculated for review, together with various technical submissions relating to site servicing (stormwater management), slope stability and erosion. A number of meetings have been held with the applicant and staff of the Borough of East York and Metropolitan Toronto: These discussions have led to a further revision to the proposed plan of subdivision - revised plan dated November 15, 1995. Staff feel the revised submission will achieve the Authority's program interests and we are prepared to recommend draft plan approval subject to the following conditions generally set out as follows: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/95, JANUARY 12, 1996 B549 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 6. GREENSPACE PROTECTION AND ACQUISITION PROJECT, 1996-2000 Flood Plain Component, Don River Watershed (CONTD.) -Moore Park Estates, Hampton Park Company Limited Properties Harry Freedman and Harry Frimerman . The vaJleylands be conveyed to the Authority for a nominal fee. . Stormwater management be achieved through a combination of best management practices (lot level control) and cash in lieu. This approach has the greatest environment benefit, since it precludes significant alterations to the adjacent ravine. The cash in lieu fee of $152,000.00 will be directed to the water management component of the Toronto Brickworks Regeneration Project. . Erosion protection works be carried out at the base of the slope where the watercourse is undercutting the bank. The extent of this work is minimal and will not result in negative impacts to the ravine. . The development limit (rear lot line) adjacent to the ravines be coincident with the physical crest of slope. This is consistent with comments provided by Authority staff in the early 1980's; however, geotechnical reports identify the potential for recession of the crest of slope to a maximum 6 meters inland from its current location adjacent to Lots 2-24. To meet current policy objectives, a 6 meter wide conservation easement in favour of the Authority will be established at the rear of lots 2 to 24 inclusive. The easement will prohibit such things as buildings, structures and fill so that these lands will be maintained in their natural state to allow valleyland processes such as soil movement, recharge and vegetation regeneration to occur. . All structures are to be located a minimum of 10 meters from the physical crest of slope and this setback will be maximized to the extent possible. . Detailed design information be provided for erosion control, best management practices for storm water management, outfalls and MTRCA permits. The Director of the Watershed Management Division has reviewed this proposal and is in concurrence with the contents of this report. Attached are plans showing the location of the subject lands.

REQUEST BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO FOR DEMOLITION OF TWO DILAPIDATED COTTAGES AND A FRAME BARN STRUCTURE ON THE GUILD INN PROPERTY KEY ISSUE Request by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for concurrence by the Authority to demolish two dilapidated cottages and a frame barn structure on lands owned by the Authority at the Guild Inn. Res. #E209/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Micaheal Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto be advised that the Authority is in agreement with the demolition of two dilapidated cottages identified as cottage No.6 and Cottage No.7, plus an old frame barn structure on lands owned by the Authority at the Guild Inn in the City of Scarborough, on the basis as set out in the detailed building audit report prepared by Medurst, Hogg, Sobottka, Leong and Associates Limited for the Guildwood Park Advisory Committee; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take all necessary action required. CARRIED BACKGROUND In 1995, Metropolitan Toronto Council approved the formation of the Guildwood Park Advisory Committee to review the condition of the current assets at the property and to finalize a plan and operating mode for the property and its facilities. As part of the work program of the Guildwood Park Advisory Committee, a detailed building audit of all Guild Inn building assets was undertaken. This audit, completed by Medurst, Hogg, Sobottka, Leong and Associates Limited, has assessed the life expectancies and replacement costs of various building components over a 30-year time frame. Arising from the analysis is the recommendation that some structures, due to their advanced state of deterioration, outmoded and dysfunctional systems and significant costs to repair, should be demolished. In total, seven buildings (Corycliff, barn, Cottage No.6, Cottage No.7, greenhouse, and Cottages No.8 and No. 12) should be demolished. By Resolution #A237/95, the Authority has already approved the demolition of Cottages No.8 and No. 12 at their meeting held on October 27,1995. The Guildwood Park Advisory Committee having reviewed the audit report concurs that at this time, it would be advisable to demolish Cottage No.6, Cottage No.7 and the barn while deferring a recommendation on the other buildings until the completion of the new plan for the Guildwood Park expected later in the new year.

REQUEST BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO FOR DEMOLITION OF TWO DILAPIDATED COTTAGES AND A FRAME BARN STRUCTURE ON THE GUILD INN PROPERTY (CONTD.) The Committee's discussion was based on the advanced physical state of deterioration, the high cost of building repairs and the unlikelihood that any future use would justify undertaking such improvements. Only one of the structures, No.6, currently accommodates a tenant who has been given notice of Metropolitan Toronto's requirement for vacant possession. FINANCIAL DETAILS All costs relating to this work will be paid by The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Report prepared by: J.

Oakbank Pond is a two hectare pond on lands owned by the MTRCA and operated under Management Agreement by the City of Vaughan. The pond is mainly used for passive recreational purposes by area residents. The current inflow to Oakbank Pond is mainly from surface water sources which are insufficient to maintain a suitable turnover period. This has resulted in the pond undergoing an ecological succession whereby the accumulation of sediments has resulted in poor water quality and low water levels during extended dry periods of the summer months. The flow augmentation system involves the installation of five groundwater wells along with pumps and headers to augment flows through the pond during dry periods of the summer. The flow augmentation system will be implemented in conjunction with source control treatments which include public education, minimizing first flush of stormwater by providing a wetland marsh and buffer landscaping around the perimeter of the pond.

The expansion of the supply plant is required to meet the growing servicing demands within the Region of Durham. The water supply plant expansion is to be constructed below grade. As a result, extensive regrading and landscaping will be conducted to cover the structures and create a naturalized and parklike setting in keeping with the existing use. The landscaping involves the creation of wetland features, a cascading waterfall, and extensive plantings. The existing trail connection will also be maintained along the waterfront. The watercourse enclosure is required to facilitate the large plant expansion. The watercourse is a remnant feature which has been piped upstream and flows directly to Lake Ontario. As part of the Federal Fisheries Act, a fisheries compensation package has been finalized between the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Region which involves the cash in lieu payment for rehabilitation works to be undertaken at the Duffins Creek Marsh. MTRCA staff will undertake the rehabilitation work on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/95, JANUARY 12, 1996 B575 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMA TION 12. APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 (CONTD.) -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Armouring of a 250 metre section of the waterfront along a 3 to 4 metre high bluff is required for the long term protection of the proposed water supply plant expansion. The armouring will be buffered from the lake by the existing sandy beach. Engineering staff have reviewed the design of the armourstone wall and are satisfied. A maintenance agreement has been arranged which will ensure the Region maintain the wall in the long term. Finally, an intake channel will be constructed either through tunnelling or through an open cut into Lake Ontario. A decision has been made by the Region to tender both options in an effort to lower the cost of construction. Details for both options have been finalized and will form part of the permit approval package. If the open cut option is selected, temporary filling into Lake Ontario will be required for the placement of machinery and will be removed upon completion of the open cut process. Control of Floodinc: There will be no impact on the control of flooding. Pollution: The entire site on the tableland will be fenced during construction of the expansion. The piping of the watercourse will be conducted in the dry through temporary pumping around the construction site. Conservation of Land: The tableland portion of the site will be returned to naturalized conditions through extensive landscape works, the creation of wetland features, planting works and through the reinstallation of the existing pedestrian trail. This will allow for the continued park use of the property. Policv Guidelines: The works are in accordance with the draft Ministry of Natural Resources Shoreline Policies. The project has been reviewed and approved under the Environmental Assessment process.

The purpose is to undertake regrading in the Fill Regulated Area and flood plain of the Don River and to construct two storm sewer outfalls in order to facilitate the development of plans of subdivision. In accordance with the following documents and plans which form part of this permit: (1) Letter of Undertaking; dated January 5, 1995 from J.C. King, P.Eng., Manager, Municipal Design, Marshall Macklin Monaghan Ltd. RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: ProDosal: To construct two storm water quality detention ponds, one storm water quality detention berm, two storm sewer outfalls and undertake associated grading works in the regulated area and flood plain of the Don River. The works are located adjacent to the Thornhill - Vaughan neighbourhood A5 development area on the Uplands Golf Course owned by the City of Vaughan. The proposed works are required as part of the approved Master Drainage Plan for the Thornhill _ Vaughan A5 Community. Major system control is provided by the dry detention facility in the northern part of the golf course, while two water quality facilities will provide extended detention. The southern pond will provide 25 mm - 24 hour detention. The northern quality pond will be able to provide approximately 1300 cubic metres of extended detention (approximately equivalent to a 10 mm storm). This does not meet current requirements; however, it is significantly greater than the requirements of the Master Drainage Plan, which was approved in 1989 and did not require any extended detention in this area. This represents a retrofit opportunity in accordance with the Don watershed strategy. Lot level controls on site will also be provided as part of the water quality requirements for the draft plan of subdivision. Control of Floodino: The northern quality pond and the quantity control berm are located within the Regional Storm flood plain. Impacts on existing flood levels are expected to be minimal and will be accounted for in the final grading design upon com"pletion of a revised hydraulic model. Pollution: A comprehensive erosion and sediment plan will be provided for staff review prior to the start of construction. The majority of the works can be staged so as to be undertaken in the dry. A combination of coffer dams and bypass systems will be used where works are required in the channel. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #11/95, JANUARY 12, 1996 B577 SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12.

Res. #E215/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the contract for the construction management of the various phases of the work required to complete the first phase of the restoration of the Don Valley Brick Works site be awarded to Vanbots Construction Corporation for the amount of $106,000 (excluding G.S.T.I. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Don Valley Brickworks was purchased in 1987. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto accepted the site for management under agreement with the Authority in 1989. The site consists of 16.5 hectares in the valley of the Don River, located west of Bayview Avenue in the Borough of East York. The site contains an assemblage of buildings formerly used by the brick making industry between 1 890 and 1990. In 1993, a revised project was adopted for the regeneration of the site. The new plan addressed the important geological, environmental and cultural heritage resources located there while working within budgetary constraints. The project includes the retention and preservation of many of the original buildings, and the development of the site for public use and access through the interpretation of geology, natural environment and cultural heritage resources. In March of 1994, the Province of Ontario announced that it would fund the provincial share of the project in the amount of $2,250,000. Subsequently, The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto approved it's $2,250,000. share of the project. The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto is actively soliciting donations to raise the remaining $500,000. During 1994-95, a number of studies were undertaken to provide the necessary information to refine the scope of the regeneration work for the consultant team preparing the detailed site plan. These studies included detailed environmental site assessments; heritage documentation and analysis; artifact recording; and bricR making processes. The consultant team lead by Oleson Worland Architects commenced working on the detailed site plan in February 1995, and is presently in the process of finalizing detailed construction plans and tender specifications for work scheduled to commence in May 1996. A construction management approach has been selected to facilitate the implementation of the project work. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B582 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS REGENERATION PROJECT (CONTD.) - Retention of Construction Management Services The consultant team has been guided in their work by the Don Valley Brickworks Technical Steering Committee. The Committee consists of representatives from the Borough of East York; East York LACAC; Ministries of Natural Resources, Environment and Energy, and Culture, Tourism and Recreation; Friends of the Valley; The Ontario Historical Society; The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Culture Department; and Authority staff. RATIONALE A construction management approach was deemed to be appropriate for this project because it was felt that it would provide Authority staff with the increased flexibility in dealing with a fixed, limited budget, scheduling, scope of work, and all of the unknowns associated with restoration work. We believe that the construction management approach will lead to the best overall value, because the most important components of the project will be managed and completed properly without expensive delays and extra claims due to unforseen circumstances. The Construction Manager will: i) advise on and arrange for all services and all Trade Contractors for carrying out the various phases of the work, including the preparation for and the tendering of the various elements of the work in order to deliver a complete project; ii) plan, schedule, coordinate and supervise the activities of all Trade Contractors; and iii) provide technical, cost control and clerical services in the administration of the project. Oleson Worland Architects, the lead Architect on the consultant team responsible for the development of the Don Valley Brickworks Site Master Plan and the preparation of detailed construction plans and tender specifications, was asked to prequalify contractors and projectlconstruction management firms experienced in the management of complex multi-year multi-million dollar construction projects. Expressions of interest were solicited from seven construction firms who also provide Construction Management services, and seven firms experienced solely in ProjectlConstruction Management. From 14 responses, five firms were selected to provide detailed proposals. Within this group, three firms also undertake construction projects as contractors and two are management-only firms. The short list was established based on the candidate firms' background experience with similar heritage projects and with industrial types of construction. References were also checked by phone. The firms requested to submit proposals were: Buttcon Consultants Cape Ryan Consultants RPA Consultants (Management only) Sims Moelich Associates Ltd. (Management only) Vanbots Construction Corporation B583 FEBRUARY 9, 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 1. DON VALLEY BRICKWORKS REGENERATION PROJECT (CONTD.) - Retention of Construction Management Services A scope of work and request for proposals document which was prepared incorporating industry- standard task and responsibilities descriptions, revised to the specific requirements of this project. Of the five firms short-listed, we received four detailed proposals on February 1, 1996. Sims Moelich Associates Ltd. declined to submit a proposal because of a recently increased workload. The proposal costs were: firm Cost Vanbots Construction Corporation $106,000 RPA Consultants $177,000 Cape Ryan Consultants $194,100 Buncon Consultants $252,000 The two firms with the lowest quotations, Vanbots and RPA, were selected for interviews. Authority staff, with members of the Oleson Worland Consultant Team interviewed the finalists to review the proposals in more detail and meet the principles involved. Although it was determined that both firms were well qualified, it was felt that Vanbots had a broader range of experience with heritage projects and with industrial types of construction. Further, the team that they were proposing to assign to the project were experienced in similar projects, most recently with a major component of the restoration of the Ontario Legislature buildings. In addition, they have the capability to undertake small tasks with their own forces which will be useful on this complex project, as it is anticipated that some work will fall beyond the scope of work of the various trades no matter how stringent or inclusive the tender specifications. Based on this review staff determined that Vanbots could satisfactorily complete the work specified in the request for proposals, and recommend that Vanbots be awarded the construction management contract to manage the various construction elements of this phase of the restoration work at the Don Valley Brick Works. A budget of approximately $3,350,000 has been allocated to the construction elements Vanbots will be asked to manage. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The project shall involve work which will include selective stabilization, repair, renovation of masonry, timber and steel buildings, and landscaping. The four principal goals of the Project are: i) to protect, enhance and rehabilitate this internationally significant natural and cultural heritage site, located in a strategic section of the Don River Valley; iil to open for public use, education and enjoyment the approximately 16 hectares of the former Brick Works property; iii) to provide opportunities for public participation in its regeneration both now and in the future; and iv) to provide a framework for future development, enhancement, and rehabilitation of the property.

AMENDMENT Moved by: Richard Whitehead Res. #E217/95 Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THAT the Brampton Hydro Electric Commission be responsible for payment of all realty taxes on the permanent easement lands. THE AMENDMENT WAS ............................................. CARRIED THE MAIN MOTION, AS AMENDED, WAS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CARRIED BACKGROUND The Brampton Hydro-Electric Commission during the summer of 1995 were upgrading their high- voltage pole line along Highway #7 in the vicinity of Claireville Conservation Area. During this work they found an unsafe high-voltage pole owned by the Authority and replaced it. The invoice in the amount of $4,127.09 relates to this work. The Brampton Hydro-Electric Commission has requested that the Authority grant a 6-metre wide permanent easement across a tributary valley of the Humber River. The easement is required to enable the Brampton Hydro-Electric Commission to distribute feeder lines from the Ontario Hydro transformer station on Goreway Drive to the existing feeder lines located on Williams Parkway. While it was staff's preference that the alignment not cross Authority lands, after a review it was concluded that this route was the only viable alternative available. In order to address our environmental concerns the Brampton Hydro-Electric Commission modified their original proposal by reducing the width of the easement area and reducing the extent of the underground cable. It is staff's opinion that the environmental impacts associated with the proposed alignment can be effectively mitigated. In this regard, the Brampton Hydro-Electric Commission has agreed to provide the Authority with $5,000.00 to be utilized by the Authority to undertake restoration works on their behalf. The subject lands were acquired from Rice Construction Co. in July 1982 under the Humber River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. A plan illustrating this location is attached.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF METROPOLITAN TORONTO FOR TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION (TTC) PURPOSES (CONTD.) - Request for permanent easement for a tunnel and emergency exit building in connection with the proposed subway line, located south' of Sheppard Avenue, east of Leslie Street, City of North York THAT said easement be subject to an Order-in-Council being issued in accordance with Section 21 (c) of the Conservation Authorities Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter C.2'; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action may be required to give effect thereto, including the obtaining of necessary approvals and the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Corporation of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto has conveyed lands to the Authority over the years for the nominal consideration of $2.00 and has requested that this easement be granted for a nominal consideration of $2.00. The subject lands were acquired from the North York General Hospital in October, 1970, under the Don River Flood Plain Lands component of the Land Acquisition Project. There also is a covenant on title which limits the use of the property for any purpose other than for conservation. We have requested The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto to obtain a release from the North York General Hospital prior to commencing construction. In addition to the permanent easement rights being granted, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto will also be utilizing certain additional Authority-owned lands in this area, for temporary construction purposes. Attached is a plan showing the location of the subject lands.

PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES KEY ISSUE The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's (MTRCA) response to the draft Provincial Policy Statement which is proposed to be issued with the proclamation of Bill 20 (the Land Use Planning and Protection Act). Res. #E219/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Richard O'Brien THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TO THE AUTHORITY THAT The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservatin Authority advise the Province of Ontario of its support for provincial objectives resulting in increased municipal decision-making powers, an efficient decision- making process and effective land use planning and development policies for the economic, social and environmental health of the lands and residents within the Province of Ontario; THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to amend the draft Provincial Policy Statement based on the specific changes and rationale set out in the February 9, 1996, Authority Staff Report to achieve these stated objectives by: (A) expanding and clarifying provincial policies for environmental protection, emphasizing the importance of natural systems (landforms, features and functions); (B) bringing forward, without amendment, the policy provisions of the 1992 Wetlands Policy Statement for no development in significant wetlands and encouragement policies for the protection of all other wetlands; (C) expanding and clarifying provincial policies for public safety to manage risks associated with natural hazards (flooding, erosion and slope instability), emphasizing the need for a systems approach; (D) bringing forward, without amendment, the policy provisions of the 1988 Flood Plain Planning Policy Statement for the One Zone, Two Zone and Special Policy Area concepts and the need for flood plain planning to be decided on a watershed basis; (E) incorporating a policy that clearly expresses provincial support and encouragement for planning authority initiatives that go beyond the minimum standards expressed in the Provincial Policy Statement; THAT Authority staff be directed to provide assistance to the province in drafting the Authority's recommended changes to the Provincial Policy Statement document; B591 FEBRUARY 9, 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES THAT the Province of Ontario be requested to develop and implement an education and awareness program to communicate the goals of the province, particularly its continued commitment for environmental protection and its related importance to a healthy economy; THAT the Authority continue to assist and to work with its member and local municipalities to achieve the protection and rehabilitation of watershed ecosystems through municipal planning documents and development approvals; AND FURTHER THAT the Authority's member and local municipalities, the Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario and other interested parties be so advised. CARRIED BACKGROUND Through the early 1990's, the Authority was an active participant in the Province of Ontario's process to reform the land use planning and development system in Ontario. There was no doubt that all participants in Ontario's land use planning and development process agreed that the system designed in the early 1980's needed to be reformed. Controversy focused not so much on what the objectives of the new system should be, as on how these objectives should be achieved. Provincial initiatives came to fruition in March 1995 with the passage of Bill 163 and release of a Comprehensive Set of Provincial Policy Statements pursuant to Section 3 of the Planning Act. In addition to several legislative amendments, provincial policy was significantly expanded beyond the four previous statements of provincial policy (which addressed riverine flood plains, aggregates, affordable housing and wetlands). The expanded provincial policies increased the environmental, economic and social scope of provincial interests in land use planning and development. Subsequent to the 1995 provincial election, the provincial government expressed its intent to further amend both the legislative and provincial policy framework of the new planning system and has set out its proposed revisions in Bill 20 and a draft Provincial Policy Statement. It is our understanding that these documents are to be approved, in a final form, by late Spring of 1996. Response to the draft Provincial Policy Document is required by March 4, 1996. Authority staff has completed an in-house review and has discussed the proposed policy statements with municipal colleagues, Don Watershed Council members, and staff from other conservation authorities. ACAO representatives discussed the policy document with provincial representatives from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on February 6, 1996 and staff will provide an update on key issues arising from this meeting at the Executive Committee meeting. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B592 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES RATIONALE There are many positive features that have been retained and/or expanded in the current provincial land use planning and development initiatives. For example: . The principles of the Provincial Policy Statement recognize that "Ontario's long term economic and social health depends on promoting efficient development and land use which stimulate economic growth while protecting the environment and public health; protecting resources for their economic and environmental benefits; and reducing the potential for long term public cost or risk to Ontario's residents by directing development away from areas where there is risk to public health or safety or of property damage. " . Second units, in lower density residential developments will no longer be permitted "as of right". This amendment facilitates risk management policy objectives where "intensification" is not always appropriate. . Municipal powers for tree removal and site alteration by-laws remain. The Authority's main concerns with the proposed changes are: reduced environmental protection, reduced emphasis on systems-based versus site-based evaluation and ambiguity of policy intent. This will lead to increased processing time and cost and a greater risk of permanent loss of natural features and ecosystems. Reduced Environmental Protection The draft Provincial Policy Statement reduces the level of protection for a variety of natural heritage features and the lands adjacent to them. This occurs geographically, in the scope of natural heritage features covered, and in the level of protection provided. For example: . Only significant valleylands located south and east of the Canadian Shield are of stated provincial interest in the Natural Heritage Policy. Previous policy provisions included valfeylands province-wide. Only significant wetlands located south and east of the Canadian Shield are subject to prohibitive development policies. Previously, prohibitive policies applied to significant wetlands within the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Region. Within the province, these changes result in an approximate 80% reduction in geographic area for valleyland protection and an approximate 50% reduction in geographic area for wetland protection. This raises serious concern with the long term protection of water resources within the province and the long term economic costs associated with loss and/or deterioration of these important natural resources. . The habitat of vulnerable species is not addressed. This may lead, over time, to an increase in species listed as threatened or endangered. B593 FEBRUARY 9, 1996. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES . In almost all instances, the provincial policy is permissive e.g., it allows development to occur subject to "no negative impact". This approach allows for a broad range of development to be considered as well as "technical judgements" of negative impact. A narrowing in the scope of acceptable options needs to be more clearly set out in policy, not deferred to interpretation guidelines. Left unchanged, this approach will lead to increased costs and processing time and result in inconsistent outcomes across the province. . Official Plans are no longer required to define lands adjacent to natural areas. This is deferred to implementation guidelines or "comparable municipal approaches". Clarity and consistency is lacking. . Wetlands are no longer discussed independent of other components of the natural heritage system, resulting in a significant reduction of protection, beyond the above-noted change in the geographical area of interest. The need for this change is questionable as the Ontario Wetlands Evaluation System was designed to assess wetlands with the intent of determining which wetlands are of Provincial interest. In addition to differentiating between wetlands of provincial significance and wetlands of regional significance, the evaluation system was also designed to differentiate between the significance of wetlands south of . - the Canadian Shield and north of the southern limit of the Canadian Shield. These components of the wetland evaluation system address the differences in these areas with respect to climate, geomorphology, human uses and other factors between these two parts of the province. As such, provincial policy need not duplicate this effort by establishing separate policies for each of these areas within southern Ontario. Additionally, the Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem is a mechanism for ensuring that environmental health is addressed in a more global approach than is permissible within political boundaries. Similar agreements have been entered into with governments bordering the Great Lakes, south of the Canada-USA border. One of the targets of these agreements, is to "Increase the extent of productive aquatic habitats by rehabilitating and protecting 6000 hectares of wet/and habitat and 600 ki/ometres of riparian habitats". The current draft policies permit development within Provincially Significant Wetlands which are tributary to Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. In order to uphold our end of the aforementioned agreement these significant revisions to the policies are unacceptable. The revised policy is silent with respect to reoionallv sionificant wetlands. Previously, it was provincial policy to 'encourage' the protection of wetlands, other than those identified as provincially significant. Documents outside of the policy statement (implementation guidelines) clearly state that these are provincial policies and municipalities may choose to protect features and functions above and beyond those identified for protection in this policy statement. 'Encouragement' policies provide municipalities with the provincial support for protecting other components of the Natural Heritage System (including regionally significant wetlands) within their policy documents (official plans) and at the Ontario Municipal Board and are a substantial omission from this statement. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B594 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES Reduced emohasis on svstems-based evaluations The draft Provincial Policy Statement appears to introduce a reduced emphasis for systems-based impact evaluations. This occurs within both the environmental policy sections and the natural hazards risk management sections of the policy document. For example: . There is no longer expressed policy provisions for a One Zone versus Two Zone approach to riverine flood plain planning. These concepts are only referred to in the definition of "floodway". There is no discussion regarding the importance of coordinating the approach to flood plain planning within a watershed. . The policy does not clearly recognize that natural functions such as flooding and erosion have ecological considerations. The management of lands associated with natural hazards must be integrated with environmental management policies. . Policies which rely on "no negative impact" are not clearly discussed in terms of cumulative impacts. . As noted above, only sionificant valleylands are addressed. This qualification leads to confusion, as all components of a river are significant to the function of the system as a whole. The policy neglects to recognize the important inter-relationship between valley landforms, features and functions and the need to protect and regenerate all of these components of the natural resource, from its headwaters to its mouth. Ambiouous Policv Interoretation The policies are difficult to understand and interpret. Many rely on Implementation Guidelines that have not yet been produced. It would appear that in an attempt to adapt previous provincial policy into a more concise, simplified format, clarity and content has been lost, and where increased flexibility was intended, ambiguity has resulted. For example: . The definition of a riverine "floodway" has been revised to include the entire flood plain if a One Zone approach to flood plain planning is adopted which would prohibit all "development and site alteration". These changes would preclude all compatible flood plain uses unless some newly defined approach to a Two Zone concept is adopted. This type of redefinition of accepted terminology does not result in increased efficiency at the municipal level and creates significant gaps in policy direction. . The policies for sionificant valleylands are permissive in nature based on "no negative impact" and apply only to lands south and east of the Canadian Shield. There are no other valleyland policies. This suggest there are no tests for development and site alteration in remaining valleylands. . The environmental test of no negative impact refers to "for which the area is identified". It is unclear what "area" is being referred to, B595 FEBRUARY 9, 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES . There is no definition or policy for "Special Policy Areas" associated with risk management. Imolementation Ambiguity, gaps and errors in the draft provincial Policy Document leads to uncertainty in the land use planning and development process and inefficient policy implementation. In addition to the examples listed above, the following problem areas have been noted: . Requirements for Environmental Impact Studies are not expressly set out. Inconsistent approaches will result in cumulative loss and deterioration of natural systems. . Clearly the intent of the Provincial Policy Statement is to restrict discussion to matters of provincial interest and to establish minimum standards. It is also clear that the provincial intent is to delegate the choice of higher standards of protection to the municipalities. To achieve this objective, the Provincial Policy Statement must be amended to include statements of encouragement and support for planning authorities that choose to go beyond the minimum standards. . Bill 20 introduces legislative changes that shorten time lines for municipal decisions, eliminate minimum standards for Official Plan contents, and requires only that approval Authorities "have regard to" provincial policy. While these changes may increase municipal autonomy, they also can result in inconsistency across the province, uncertainty with respect to provincial objectives and expedient versus effective reviews by participants in the process. These changes should be re-examined to ensure they achieve expressed provincial objectives. If the role of the province is to lead land use planning and development in Ontario through policy then it is critical to ensure that the adopted policy is clear and thoroughly addresses the complex issues that challenge practitioners in the field. Ambiguity is a poor substitute for flexibility and will lead to continued delays and dissatisfaction. Although the policies only serve as minimum standards, there is still the need for strong provincial leadership if we are to achieve long term economic, social and environmental health throughout the province. The phrase "shall have regard to", if directed or defined, can incorporate the flexibility needed for implementation without the need for major policy revision. Revisions to the Planning Act that are challenging but realistic e.g., approval time lines, will better achieve increased efficiency and effectiveness by practitioners in the field. WORK TO BE DONE The MTRCA has been an active participant in the land use planning and development process for over 20 years. We have developed strong partnerships and a credible reputation within both the public and private sectors of the industry. We have demonstrated our commitment to foster and facilitate changes that support local decision-making, timely and efficient service delivery and effective, value-added policy development and implementation through such vehicles as: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B596 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 4. PROVINCE OF ONTARIO LAND USE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES . Watershed Strategies: which are community based and resource focused; . Subwatershed Planning: which involves landowners, decision makers and the public in the design of economically and environmentally sound developments and regeneration projects; . Resource Management Policies: such as the Authority's 1994 Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program which integrates and facilitates implementation of provincial policy objectives at the local and regional level; . The ACAO Blueprint for Success: which set out mechanisms for streamlining the delivery of provincial services at the local and regional level; . MTRCA Service Delivery Guidelines: which set customer-focussed goals for the timely delivery of MTRCA plan input and review services; . Information Management: which identifies and catalogues natural features and areas of natural hazards for early consideration in the land use planning and development process. The Provincial Government's initiatives facilitate the Authority's ability to forge stronger partnerships with its member and local municipalities to deliver improved land use planning and development within its watersheds; however, the legislation and provincial policy framework adopted will be a key factor to success. The Authority continues its commitment to work with its watershed municipalities to achieve environmental protection and regeneration and to manage risks associated with natural hazards. The partnerships and cooperation developed over the past forty years is critical in light of the changing provincial role and economic constraints challenging the public sector today. The Authority and its watershed municipalities recognize the important role the environment plays in the planning and economic health of its communities. Environmental leadership at the municipal level will be critical should Bill 20 and the planning policies as written be adopted. Discussions with our municipal partners have commenced to create renewed partnerships in the field of land use planning and development in cooperation with the Province of Ontario. We trust that the final adjustments to the land use planning and development process in Ontario will be one of many factors that leads to success.

CARRIED BACKGROUND At Authority Meeting #10/95, held November 24,1995, Resolution #272/95 was adopted recommending staff proceed with developing a sponsorship project for Black Creek Pioneer Village. Contracted services of a sponsorship specialist are to be engaged to develop and negotiate sponsorships and partnerships with Black Creek Pioneer Village in an effort to increase revenue sources and reduce dependence on levy in 1997 and beyond. Corporate budget setting occurs throughout 1996 for 1997 expenditures depending on the particular fiscal year. As such, it is important to put the sponsorship campaign in place as soon as possible so that it can be implemented in time to conform with corporate sector schedules. Terms of reference for the selection of a consultant for sponsorship development were developed and are attached with this report, These Terms of Reference were discussed at the February 2, 1996 meeting of the Conservation and Related Land Management Advisory Board and Resolution #C42/95 was adopted receiving the report. A short list of nine firms were contacted and invited to submit proposals. Four proposals were received by January 24, 1996. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B598 SECTION I-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 5. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE -Sponsorship Development RATIONALE The four proposals received were from the following firms: Arts and Communications Counselors Burk & Associates Ltd. Continental Communications The Gaylord Group Authority staff reviewed the four proposals against criteria of project scope, development initiatives, services offered, previous experience and performance results, and cost of services. Two proposals were considered insufficient when scrutinized against the terms of reference. Burk & Associates and Continental Communications submissions did not meet basic project requirements. The proposals from Arts and Communications Counselors and The Gaylord Group met the project terms of reference and these firms were interviewed. The two proposals contained some similarities (strategic alliances, events, marketing and licensing opportunities), but their approaches were different. The Gaylord Group proposal focuses on business to business partnerships. Arts and Communications Counselors proposals includes a more comprehensive range of initiatives than just business to business deals. Arts and Communications Counselors extensive experience and successful track record in private sector as well as not for profit outdistance The Gaylord Group. Arts And Communications Counselors demonstrated the strongest strategic and creative thinking, solid track record, and lower cost than The Gaylord Group. Authority staff are satisfied that Arts and Communications Counselors can complete the work in accordance with the terms of reference and therefore recommend that they be awarded the assignment. DETAILS OF WORK TO BE DONE The project will be executed in three stages: Phase 1 Strategic session . development of strategic plan for securing sponsorship, . recommended plan of action, critical path and budget Phase 2 Document and Target List Finalization . development of partnership opportunities and packages . identification of key prospects Phase 3 Corporate Presentations . approach approximately 100 corporations . negotiate terms of sponsorship contracts Target Dates August, 1996 finalize 1997 sponsorships September, 1996 begin planning 1998 partnership goals and strategies B599 FEBRUARY 9. 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERA TION 5.

Res. #E223/95 Moved by: Brian Harrison Seconded by: Lois Griffin THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEREAS the Government of Canada is considering an amendment to the Income Tax Act to remove the 20% net income restriction on donations of ecologically sensitive lands to Conservation Authorities and other bodies "whose primary purpose is the conservation and protection of Canada's environmental heritage for the benefit of all Canadians;" AND WHEREAS THAT the Government of Canada act on the recommendations of the House of Commons Finance Committee amending the Income Tax Act to provide that donations of ecologically sensitive lands to the province, municipalities, Conservation Authorities, and other bodies as defined above, in regard to the removal of the 20% net income restriction; THAT the Income Tax Act be further amended to provide that such donations shall be exempted from capital gains tax; THAT the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Cultural Heritage, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and members of parliament within the MTRCA's area of jurisdiction be advised of the Authorities position in this matter and requested to support the changes; AND FURTHER THAT the Association Of Conservation Authorities of Ontario be asked to advise all Conservation Authorities of the need to support this action. CARRIED BACKGROUND In March of 1995, the Honourable Paul Martin, Minister Of Finance, introduced in the budget proposals to provide that donations of ecologically sensitive lands should not be subject to the 20% net income rule. The Authority supported this by passing Resolution A42/95 on March 31, 1995. Staff has been part of a provincial working group that has been advising federal officials of Ontario's position in this matter. The proposed legislation has now been through the Commons Finance Committee and will be introduced in the House of Commons for implementation. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B604 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION ,. FEDERAL INCOME TAX ACT (CONTD.) - Capital Gains on Donations of Ecologically Sensitive lands ANAL YSIS Staff learned on Thursday of this week that Ministry of Finance officials are not recommending the capital gains exemption recommended by the Commons Finance Committee. This means that under the current rules, a donor of a property worth $1,100,000 today, who purchased the property for $100,000 20 years ago, would pay capital gains on the $1,000,000 appreciation in value. In the United States, the tax break would be $450,000, but in Canada it is only $132,000. Given the lack of government funding for land acquisition, there is a critical need for this legislative change. Report prepared by: Jim Dillane, Extension 220 8. AUTHORITY LANDS -Licence Agreements for Third Party Display Boards KEY ISSUE Approval to enter into licence agreements for third party display boards on Authority lands. Res. #E224/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority enter into a licence agreement for the third party display boards with Mediacom Inc. on the identified sites within the Boyd complex, in the City of Vaughan; AND FURTHER THAT the appropriate Authority officials be authorized and directed to take whatever action necessary to give effect thereto, including the execution of any documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND Due to recent changes in the City of Vaughan sign bylaws, Authority staff were approached by outdoor advertising agencies regarding the placement of third party sig.nage on our lands. Until now such signs were not permitted in Vaughan although they have been allowed in most other municipalities. ., B6D5 FEBRUARY 9, 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 8. AUTHORITY LANDS (CONTD.) -Licence Agreements for Third Party Display Boards While investigating the financial potential of these signs, staff contacted six outdoor advertising companies to determine the level of market interest. Two companies responded and staff, working with them, identified six sites that met Authority conditions including . no negative environmental impacts . full compliance with all MTRCA regulations and the Valley and Stream guidelines . no impact on current programming . easily accessible for maintenance and construction purposes The companies have also shown their willingness to structure licence agreements that specify . full compliance with all City of Vaughan regulations, These would be identified by the proponent through the permitting process. . removal of the sign, for any reason, on 30 days notice . removal of any advertisements not in keeping with the Authority's moral or ethical principles . that the companies pay all costs associated with the installation or maintenance of the sign and providing the required access to the site . that the companies pay all permit fees, utilities, taxes or other costs that might be incurred because of the sign . no Authority involvement with permit or zoning applications other than signing the necessary applications . that the company will indemnify the Authority and provide the Authority with suitable insurance coverage . that the licence agreement will be for a one year term The bylaw calls for permits to be issued by the City for a limited number of signs. Vaughan council passed the changes on January 17, 1996 and applications are currently being accepted. The proposed signs are illuminated 1'0' x 20', single pole billboards which would be located near major roads in the City. The bids that have been received from Gould and Mediacom are summarized below. Mediacom . $4,000 per face + GST. ($8,000 for a two faced sign) . Cancellation on 30 days notice Removal of advertising material at our discretion. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FftaRUARY 9, 1996 B606 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 8. AUTHORITY LANDS -Licence Agreements for Third Party Display Boards . Option to book advertising space on any of Mediacom's 2000 faces in the GTA at the rate of $500 per face (plus production costs) for a four week period. This is a reduction of approximately 45% under standard rates. Gould . $3,000 per face + GST. ($6,000 for a two faced sign) . Cancellation on 30 days notice . Removal of advertising material at our discretion. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Each two sided sign would bring in $8,000 of rental income per year. If all six sites are rented then yearly income will be $48,000.

STATUTORY BORROWING RESOLUTION KEY ISSUE Annually, the Authority must adopt a borrowing resolution to comply with the requirements of banking legislation. Res. #E225/95 Moved by: Lois Griffin Seconded by: Brian Harrison THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Authority may borrow from the Royal Bank of Canada or the Authority's member municipalities or other institutions as may be specifically approved by the Authority up to the sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) on the promissory note or notes of the Authority until payment to the Authority of any grants and sums to be paid to the Authority by participating municipalities designated as such under the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 27, at such rate of interest as the Minister of Natural Resources approves; THAT the amount borrowed pursuant to this resolution, together with interest, be a charge upon the whole of the monies received or to be received by the Authority by way of grants, etc., and when such monies are received, and of sums received or to be received by the Authority from the participating municipalities, as and when such monies are received; THAT the signing officers of the Authority are hereby authorized to take such action as may be necessary to give effect thereto. CARRIED BACKGROUND As Members will recall, the Authority tendered for banking services in 1995. The Royal Bank of Canada was successful. To meet the requirements of the Bank Act, a borrowing resolution is required. B609 FEBRUARY 9, 1996, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION I -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY CONSIDERATION 9. STATUTORY BORROWING RESOLUTION (CONTD.) In past years, the statutory resolutions have included the appointment of auditors. In 1995, the Authority called Proposals for Auditors. KPMG Peat Marwick Thorne was successful and has been appointed for a term of 5 years, subject to satisfactory performance. (Resolution #A250/95l ANAL YSIS The borrowing resolution enables the Royal Bank to provide a credit facility of up to $10 million. The amount is sufficient to cover short term borrowing which may become necessary as a result of land acquisitions and other matters relating to approved Authority projects such as the Etobicoke Motel Strip. In 1995, the Authority used its credit facility on a few occasions to manage short term, (usually less than 48 hours) cash flow requirements.

OFFICE SUPPLY AND PAPER TENDERS KEY ISSUE This report advises on the results of the office supply and paper quotations received by the Authority as part of Tender Opening Sub-Committee Report #01/96 and #02/96. Res. #E226/95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THAT the report TO#15/95, dated January 12, 1996, on office supply quotations be received and that Corporate Express Canada quotation be accepted; AND FURTHER THAT the report TO #15/95, dated January 12, 1996, on paper quotations be received and that the quotation from Coast Paper be accepted. CARRIED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B610 SECTION II - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. OFFICE SUPPLY AND PAPER TENDERS (CONTD.) BACKGROUND - OFFICE SUPPLIES Annually the Authority calls quotations for office and paper supplies. Tenders were opened prior to the January 12, 1996 Executive Committee with four quotations received for office supplies. The tender specified a shopping basket of the 22 most often purchased items. Staff have identified Corporate Express Canada as the successful bidder and are confident of their qualifications. The quotation from Corporate Express Canada was accepted, it being the lowest tender received, which met the Authority's specifications. The value of the tender is less than $25,000, and in accordance with the Authority's Purchasing Policy, staff is authorized to award the contract. BACKGROUND - PAPER SUPPLIES The Authority annually purchases between $30,000 and $40,000 worth of paper supplies. The value of the contract is over $25,000 and pursuant to the Purchasing Policy, must be approved by the Executive Committee. ANAL YSIS The following companies submitted bids for supply of paper to the Authority: Unisource Inc. Graphic Papers Buntin Reid Paper Coast Paper The Authority uses a wide variety of paper sizes and stock. For purposes of reporting the values on the tender, the pricing for 8 1/2 X 11 was identified, it being the largest volume purchased. In 1995, paper prices rose on a monthly basis to almost double what the Authority had paid the previous year. While it has been Authority practice to award this tender for a period of one year, the instability of the market at this time and the reluctance by firms to commit for a year require that tender prices be firm for three months. The call for tenders went out at the end of November, 1995. In the past two weeks, we have been notified by some of the bidders that paper prices are falling and requested to be allowed to change their bids. In order to be fair to all bidders, each company was contacted and given the opportunity to submit final pricing by a specific date and time. This included a specific condition that if paper prices were to fall, the Authority would be entitled to the benefit of the reduction. If prices were to rise, however, the lower bid price would still apply. Coast Paper has the lowest tender p'rice for supply of paper to the Authority. The Authority's "Policies and Procedures for Purchase of Goods and Services" state: "While the Authority recognizes and wishes to support the efforts of Canadian production, authorized buyers may consider the policy on Canadian content in evaluating quotations. The Canadian preference policy provides for a price preference of up to 10% on the Canadian content of goods supplied to the Authority". B611 FEBRUARY 9. 1996. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION II-ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 10. OFFICE SUPPLY AND PAPER TENDERS (CONTD.) Some of the companies have provided pricing for both Canadian and American paper. Staff has \ brought in some of this American paper, tested it and found it to be of comparable quality to \ Canadian paper. In these days of restraint, staff are recommending that the Coast Paper bid be '. accepted for the purchase of American made photocopy paper. The attached chart shows the cost per thousand sheets for each company. Staff will continue to monitor opportunities to participate with member municipalities in the purchase of paper products. In past years, there have been opportunities to achieve modest savings but the Authority would have to accept delivery of large quantities of paper, for which storage was not available. The present arrangement provides for delivery of smaller quantities on an as needed basis.

BILL 26 - CHANGES INCLUDED IN FINAL VERSION KEY ISSUE This report describes the changes made to Bill 26 as a result of the ACAO presentation and legislative review. Res. #E227 /95 Moved by: Richard Whitehead Seconded by: Michael Di Biase THAT the report dated February " 1996, on changes to Bill 26 be received. CARRIED BACKGROUND At the December 15, 1995, Authority meeting, staff reviewed the changes to the Conservation Authorities Act proposed in Bill 26. On December 19, The Association of Conservation Authorities (ACAO), made a presentation to the Committee of the Legislature reviewing Bill 26. Attached is an excerpt from the submission by the ACAO to the Standing Committee on general government. Some of the changes requested by the ACAO have been made. ANALYSIS The following is a preliminary overview of the key changes to Bill 26. Dissolution Clause Bill 26 creates a new Clause 13.1 in the Conservation Authorities Act which gives member municipalities the right to call for dissolution of an authority. Dissolution requires that: . 2 or more member municipalities adopt a resolution calling for dissolution; . the Authority hold a meeting, at which two-thirds of the members appointed by the municipalities are present; . the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council may dissolve the Authority; The amended clause includes several new parts: . The authority shall ensure that notice of the meeting is published in a newspaper ... at least 14 days before the meeting; . no vote for dissolution shall be taken unless members of the public are given an opportunity at the meeting to make representation; . if there is dissolution, the Minister must be assured not only that acceptable provision has been made for future flood control and disposition of assets, but also watershed interests; 8615 FEBRUARY 9. 1996. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95 SECTION" - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 11. BILL 26 - CHANGES INCLUDED IN FINAL VERSION (CONTD.) Appointment of the Chair and Vice-Chair Subsection 17(1) of the Act provides for the appointment of the Chair and one or more Vice-Chairs and that the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council may appoint the Chair. This is now amended to delete the right of the province to appoint the Chair. This is consistent with other changes that eliminated the appointment of provincial members. Fees Section 21 sets out the powers of authorities. Subsection (m) states: ... "to use lands owned or controlled by the Authority for park or other recreational purposes, and to erect, or permit to be erected, buildings, booths and facilities for such purposes and to make charges for admission thereto and the use thereof;" The amendment adds: "to charge fees for services approved by the Minister. " Levy Apportionment Section 27 of the Act governs the nature and methods of apportionment of operating levy. The first version of Bill 26 narrowed the levy powers to maintenance costs relating to flood control . The final version deletes this narrow definition and relies on a section added in the first version of the Bill which says; "(16) the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council may make regulations governing the nature and amount of the levies made by authorities under this section, including regulations that restrict or prohibit the making of levies described in the regulations. n Summary Having received the final version of Bill 26 on February 7, staff will be reviewing the final provisions of Bill 26 with our solicitors and the ACAO and will report further to the Authority as appropriate.

Staff had previously provided comments on a related Environmental Assessment Act Application and the permit application submission reflects all previous staff requirements. Control of Floodino: The control of flooding will not be affected by the proposed works, since post-construction grades will match pre-development ground elevations. Pollution: All three crossing sites will be isolated by coffer dams and streamflow will be pumped around the construction zones so that the proposed works can be completed under dry, dewatered conditions. Silt fencing will prevent the overland migration of construction-generated sediment beyond the crossing sites. Conservation of Land: All disturbed areas within the stream and valley corridors will be revegetated with a native grass seed mixture. The disturbed riparian zones will be rehabilitated with native plant material. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #12/95, FEBRUARY 9, 1996 B632 SECTION II -ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY INFORMATION 12.

APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS PURSUANT TO ONTARIO REGULATION 158 -Fill, Construction & Alteration to Waterways Control of Floodino: The removal of the weir will not increase flood flows. The proposed pond is to be excavated only and all excavated material will be removed from the flood plain and valley corridor. There will be no impact on flood flows caused by the pond. Pollution: The weir will be removed by a backhoe (or similar machine) situated in the watercourse and working from the east bank to the west bank. The stream bed substrate is made up largely of pea stone size to cobble stone size material which will not be easily suspended during the work. The weir removal will take two to three days and will be completed under low flow conditions. No structural sediment controls are needed for this work. The pond site is located approximately 25 m from ~he watercourse and is separated from the watercourse by existing riparian vegetation and a maintenance road. A sediment fence and snow fencing will be erected prior to the work to protect the riparian vegetation and control sediments. Conservation of Land: Removal of this weir is recommended in the Rouge Fish Plan to allow for fish passage. The Ministry of Natural Resources has been working with the golf club for several years monitoring and releasing fish populations on the downstream side of the weir structure. The weir has started to fail, and MNR staff have encouraged the golf club to look for an alternate water source for irrigation. Monies and resources through the CHIC Fisheries Compensation Plan and through the Canadian Fisheries Improvement Program have been received in support of the weir removal. There will be no disturbance to existing riparian vegetation caused by the weir removal. The concrete will be loaded directly into trucks and removed from the site using the existing maintenance road. The stream bed and banks will be allowed to self stabilise. No additional restoration is proposed at this time. The pond site is outside of the riparian zone and within the active golf course lands. No natural resource features will be affected by the pond construction. As the pond is off-line, the golf club may need to pump water from the watercourse periodically to keep the pond full, In this regard, the golf club has a water taking permit and a pumping facility in place. Policv Guidelines: The works are in compliance with the Authority's Valley and Stream Corridor Management Program as it relates to Section 5.4 (B) (Environmental Management Projects).

RATIONALE The application was reviewed by staff on the basis of the following information: Prooosal: To facilitate the redevelopment of a small commercial site, the proponent is proposing to construct a storm outfall to a tributary of the Rouge River, remove an existing farm lane culvert crossing on the river, and reconstruct an existing driveway access and sidewalk. A small 5 m x 2 m section of the driveway and sidewalk extends into the Regional Storm flood plain. The site is not currently fill regulated. Control of Floodino: The flooding at the site of the driveway and sidewalk is approximately 0.3 m. The driveway access is required at this location to service the site and meet the appropriate set backs from the Yonge Street and Brookside Drive intersection. Filling is required to meet existing adjacent road grades. The works in the flood plain will have no measurable impact on upstream or downstream flooding. Pollution: Sediment fencing will be erected to isolate the work site from the watercourse. All in-stream work at the outfall will be done by hand and no machinery will entre the watercourse. The culvert to be removed is small (approximately 0.2 m in diameter and 3 m long), and will be quickly removed. No sediment control structures are needed for this work.

CARRIED - B653 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE #13/95, FEBRUARY 23, 1996 1. BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE (CONTD.) -Sponsorship Development, Approval of Contract BACKGROUND By Resolution #E220/95, the retention of Arts and Communications Counselors to develop a sponsorship program for Black Creek Pioneer Village was recommended. Details of the agreement were included with the communication. Resolution #E221/95 directed staff to negotiate the terms of a contract and to provide a subsequent report to the Executive Committee prior to implementation. The three points staff were directed to resolve were the fee structure quoted to us relative to the fee charged for the renaming of the O'Keefe Centre, the timing of payment of commissions, and the basis for valuing in-kind contributions which are negotiated. ANALYSIS On the first point, staff discussed the nature of the fee arrangement between A&CC and the O'Keefe Centre with Elizabeth Bradley, the General Manager of that facility. It was revealed that there were actually two projects each with different fee structures. The first contract signed between the parties was for a sponsorship project very similar to ours where a number of corporate sponsors are enlisted to support different aspects of the facility or its events. It is estimated that this project has raised over $500,000, which has not been widely reported in the media. This financial target is in the same range as expressed in our Terms of Reference. The fee structure quoted to us for the BCPV project is remarkably similar to the fees charged to the O'Keefe Centre for this initial work. In fact, the only difference is that the threshold after which the 20 per cent commission is payable for the O'Keefe was $54,000, while ours is $50,000. The O'Keefe Centre deal which has recently received considerable attention in the media was, in fact, negotiated separately during the course of the first project. The reduction in commission rate was agreed to in recognition of the substantial dollars involved in the deal. This matter was discussed with A&CC and it was agreed that the Letter of Agreement would reflect a general agreement that, should a larger deal develop in the course of undertaking the present work, the terms of the contract would be renegotiated. Specifically, it was agreed that any deal in excess of $1 million would automatically attract a reduced commission rate. With respect to the timing of commission payments, specific terms have been included which incorporate the principle that A&CC will be paid within a reasonable time of the Authority receiving payment from sponsors. In particular, payments on multi-year commitments are only due after the contribution is received by the Authority. Lastly, in-kind contributions are valued at their retail value to minimize any disputes. Wholesale or cost values are not easily determined whereas retail values are readily apparent. The reduced commission rate (i.e. 10% versus 20% on cash contributions) is, in part, a recognition of the mark up between cost and retail values. It should be noted that any items contributed in kind to BCPV will be items that we would otherwise have to pay for at retail value and we have prior approval power over such contributions. These types of contributions directly reduce our operating expenses by 90 per cent for operating necessities.
